"Yuno, Bronya, you two protect Mei."
Theresa gripped Judas's hand tighter, inwardly blaming herself for not protecting the students, and glared angrily at the Herrscher of the Void.
"Don't worry, come one by one."
The Herrscher of the Void's next target is Wendy. If she can also obtain her gem, she can recover most of her strength, thus making herself invincible.
The Herrscher of the Void opened up an imaginary space, enveloping Theresa and the others, slowing them down so that they could be defeated one by one.
Theresa felt her movements slow down and immediately realized something was wrong. She quickly tried to figure out how to break the barrier.
'Oh right, I have other powers, as long as they can be unleashed…'
Theresa knew long ago that she had a hidden power, but this power had a great side effect, which might turn her into a half-human, half-beast monster. However, given the current situation, she couldn't worry about that now.
Just then, a red feather appeared beside the Herrscher of the Void, causing her consciousness to pause, and she was then blasted away, with the imaginary space shattering as a result.
Faced with this unexpected turn of events, Theresa looked at Fu Hua, whose appearance suddenly became complicated.
"Monitor!"
Yuno and Bronya shouted at the same time, but remembering that Fu Hua had kidnapped Kiana, they became more wary of her.
Fu Hua saw the wary expressions on their faces and felt a sense of desolation. She realized that she had brought this hostility upon herself and wondered how Luo Chen would view her.
"Fu Hua, what are you doing here?"
Theresa looked wary. She really hadn't expected Fu Hua to be an undercover agent planted by Otto by her side. At the same time, she lamented that St. Freya's measures in this regard were still too inadequate.
Fu Hua glanced at Theresa indifferently, then turned her attention to the Herrscher of the Void who had just gotten up from the ground.
"Damn it, it's you again!"
The Herrscher of the Void was furious, her eyes filled with hatred, wishing she could tear her to pieces right now.
"You all go quickly, I'll fight her off."
"Fu Hua, you..."
Theresa was taken aback, wondering why Fu Hua wanted to help them, but her students weren't doing well, so she had no choice but to agree.
Theresa nodded and led the others away from the scene, leaving Fu Hua alone to deal with the Herrscher of the Void.
The Herrscher of the Void originally wanted Benares to pursue Theresa and the others, but Fu Hua punched her down from the sky, so she had no choice but to give up.
"It's amazing that your broken body has lasted this long."
The Herrscher of the Void made a sarcastic remark, but Fu Hua remained calm and composed, retorting with a single sentence: "That's enough to deal with you."
"Alright, I'd like to see how you defeat me."
The Herrscher of the Void raised her hand, unfolding an imaginary space where Fu Hua stood, and several sub-void spears thrust towards Fu Hua.
The expected scene of her body being pierced did not occur. Instead, Fu Hua punched the ground, and the Void Spear was instantly knocked down. The armor on Fu Hua's body changed.
Fu Hua entered Eclipse mode and arrived at the Herrscher of the Void's side at terrifying speed. Before the Herrscher of the Void could react, she punched her in the abdomen.
The Herrscher of the Void was sent flying backward again, her smooth hair becoming disheveled, and her facial expression changing rapidly, clearly indicating that her defenses had been broken.
"You! You! You lowly human, how dare you humiliate me like this!"
The Herrscher of the Void launched repeated attacks against Fu Hua, but Fu Hua neutralized them all, which drove her even more insane.
Fu Hua was caught off guard and was injured by the Void Spear, but it wasn't a big problem, and she continued to launch a fierce attack on the Herrscher of the Void.
'My stamina is waning; my body hasn't fully recovered.'
Fu Hua's movements gradually slowed down, which gave the Herrscher of the Void an opportunity to throw one Void Spear after another into the sky, finally landing on Fu Hua's head.
Faced with the Herrscher of the Void's attack, Fu Hua can only choose to dodge and observe her movements to find an opportunity to attack.
The Herrscher of the Void continued to fire sub-vacuum spears and occasionally used imaginary space to control Fu Hua. She also used the power of the Tranquility Gem to erode Fu Hua, gradually putting her on the defensive.
"It seems we have no choice but to use Feathered Dust."
Fu Hua decided to try using Feather of Dust to distract the Herrscher of the Void and then defeat her. As for what would happen to Otto, that was not within her consideration for the time being.
"Your Majesty, your noble bearing is truly captivating. However, would you please pause this performance and listen to a few words of advice?"
Otto's voice echoed in all directions, and both the Herrscher of the Void and Fu Hua stopped fighting and looked at Otto, who had appeared out of thin air.
"What are you trying to say? And why should I listen to you?"
The Herrscher of the Void looked at Otto, and the Void Spear flew out, pressed against his neck, ready to slash him at any moment.
"I'm sure you're very curious about where Luo Chen is right now, aren't you?"
The Herrscher of the Void's pupils contracted slightly. More Void spears were pressed against Otto's neck as she floated over and stared into his eyes, saying, "Where is he? Tell me!"
"He has already gone to meet up with his companions."
Otto bowed respectfully, his tone so sincere that no one could find any fault with him.
The Herrscher of the Void withdrew her Void Spear, grabbed Otto by the collar and lifted him up, her face cold as she asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true, you can verify it for yourself."
The Herrscher of the Void released Otto, glanced at the wary Fu Hua beside her, conjured a spatial portal, and said to Otto before leaving, "It's truly pathetic that the King of Humanity is someone like you."
Seeing that its master had left, Benares saw no need to remain. It flapped its wings and flew into the sky, to follow in the footsteps of the Herrscher of the Void.
"Old friend, I saved your life."
Otto straightened his collar, walked up to Fu Hua, and looked at her disheveled appearance with his ever-present smile.
"You look terrible. The last time I saw you like this was five hundred years ago at Sky Peak. I'll treat you first, and you don't need to worry about the rest."
"You shouldn't have let her go, her goal..."
“It’s Theresa, I know that. But you can rest assured, I don’t have the guts to let someone kill my granddaughter. Didn’t Luo Chen go there?”
"And I have some good news to tell you, K423. Kiana's consciousness, which you mentioned, is not dead. She is currently in a deep sleep due to the high concentration of Honkai energy and the power of conquering gems. So, the body in question is currently dominated by Sirin's consciousness."
"But this isn't forever. K423's consciousness has only fallen into a deep sleep; it hasn't disappeared entirely. Currently, Sirin is the dominant consciousness, but what will happen if K423 awakens and completely takes control of this body?"
"What on earth do you want to do?"
After hearing Otto's plan, Fu Hua felt that he had gone mad and was no longer reasonable.
"My friend, think about it. Controlling a human with Herrscher powers is much simpler than directly controlling a Herrscher. Now, all we need to do is awaken K423, and we'll be all set. As for how to awaken him—that'll depend on emotions."
"Emotions are a very powerful thing, as I'm sure you know. When there are victims in this drama, that's when K423 awakens. And these victims..."
"Himeko Murata? Mei Raiden? Yuno Sato? Bronya Zaychek? Or perhaps, Luo Chen?"
Upon hearing that Otto was going to sacrifice Luo Chen, Fu Hua couldn't sit still and wanted to punch him, but Otto stopped her with his chains.
"My friend, don't be so impatient. I'm telling you this so that you can continue to cooperate with me. Your current behavior is beyond my control, so I need to ask you: do you still want to be my enemy?"
"Friend? Ha, all I hear in your words is selfishness and lies. Stop pretending. Your behavior disgusts me, and I will never cooperate with you again."
Otto knew this would happen; he had already guessed it when Fu Hua didn't follow his plans, but he still couldn't help but sigh when he actually heard it.
Otto conjured a mimicry of the Heavenly Fire Judgment in his hand, pointing the gun at Fu Hua's brow, and his cold voice reached Fu Hua's ears.
"Red Kite Immortal, I didn't lie."
Chapter 126 The protagonist always appears last.
Theresa and her group returned to the Hyperion, immediately arranged for someone to treat Mei and the others' injuries, and then met with Einstein to discuss their next plan.
"The Hyperion has crash-landed here for various reasons and cannot proceed. We still cannot contact Tesla and Ms. Himeko."
"Can we send someone to meet them?"
“It’s unrealistic. Their whereabouts are currently unknown, and we lost almost all of our Titans in the battle with the Herrscher of the Void. We don’t have any more manpower to spare.”
"This is troublesome. Mei and the others have also suffered injuries of various degrees and will be unable to fight for the time being."
Theresa arrived at the conclusion with a bitter face. Their current situation was a dilemma. Whether they found Himeko and escaped by boat or defeated the Herrscher of the Void, neither path was viable, which made Theresa feel increasingly frustrated.
"By the way, when will Luo Chen arrive?"
Only after Einstein said that did Theresa realize that Luo Chen had not yet appeared, and the other S-class Valkyries of Destiny were also nowhere to be seen, probably because they had gone to intercept Luo Chen.
"Aunt Theresa!"
A loud voice came through the earpiece. Just as Theresa was about to reply, Luo Chen passed through the glass of the command room and landed directly beside her, finally calming Theresa's tense nerves.
"Xiao Chen, you've finally arrived."
"Sorry, I am late."
Luo Chen shook off the ice shards from his head, quickly apologized to Theresa, and explained what had happened on his way there.
"You were stopped by Chuxue and the others, and then you were stopped by Rita?"
Hearing that Luo Chen had been intercepted twice, Theresa was somewhat confused. Logically speaking, given Luo Chen's strength, he shouldn't have been able to escape the first time Bianca and the others used their full strength, but that wasn't the case, leading Theresa to suspect that Otto might have said something to them.
"Where are Mei and the others? I can't see them."
After scanning the control room and not seeing anyone else, Luo Chen asked Theresa.
"They're all injured and are receiving treatment. You should go and see them."
Before Theresa could finish speaking, Luo Chen rushed out in a hurry and ran all the way to the medical room.
He hurriedly pushed open the door and immediately saw Mei lying on the bed. He rushed over to check on her as quickly as possible.
