Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Big sister, I've finally met you! Do you know what I've been through these past 50,000 years?!"

Before Snow could finish speaking and Sakura could reply, Rin saw her long-lost older sister and immediately transformed into a prolific writer of nonsensical nonsense.

This reunion, so unlike anything he had imagined, made the Fusion Warrior glance strangely at Snow, whose face was also contorted in disbelief...

That expression seemed to be questioning the blonde girl in front of her: "Where is my normal little sister? What kind of bastard is this!"

"Ah... after holding it in for fifty thousand years, with no one to talk to her, this is what happens... you know what I mean?"

After thinking for a moment, Sakura immediately understood and showed a somewhat distressed expression.

"Alright...stop babbling on with this broken knife. Are you going back by yourself, or should I help you?"

The blonde girl carrying the Jizo shrine looked at the body belonging to Rin from 50,000 years ago, which was placed on the bed in the room, tapped the blade of the katana, and asked for her opinion.

"Ugh... how am I supposed to get back???"

Overwhelmed with excitement upon entering her sister's room, Miss Ling asked a question that nearly made Snow choke...

"Master, what kind of Herrscher are you?"

Seeing the little idiot standing by with his parents, and considering the enormous compensation bill that would soon be presented, the blonde girl seemed to gain a bit more patience, kindly reminding the silly boy of his identity as a Herrscher—

"Herrscher of Corruption, what's wrong...don't you already know—?"

"Phew—what is the Herrscher of Corruption's ability for???"

Snow Apocalypse took a deep breath, calmed his blood pressure, and looked at the simpleton in front of him... no, he should be called an idiot.

"Of course it's erosion... Oh, I get it—Sis, put me in my body! I'm going to be resurrected!!"

Finally realizing what was happening, Rin yelled at Sakura, who was still hesitating beside her...

"Is this really a bell...?"

However, at the last moment, Sakura, as the older sister, hesitated as she looked at her younger sister, who was about to jump onto her face and get close to her if she weren't actually a knife.

"...Huh? Sis, what nonsense are you talking about? If I'm not your sister, am I that blond guy's sister?!"

"She is of course your sister—but as you can see, fifty thousand years brings different changes. Because of her importance in later history, unlike you who were directly brought to the modern era by me, this child has genuinely lived through fifty thousand years..."

"To you, she's just a younger sister you've only recently parted from, but to her, you're an older sister she hasn't seen for 50,000 years—no need to worry about that so-called Herrscher personality, that thing dared to talk back to me... I'd have crushed it with two slaps long ago—"

Seeing Sakura's gaze, which seemed to seek confirmation from others, the blonde girl responded by nodding.

"Sis, hurry up—I can't stand this knife for another minute!!!"

"Ah...okay—"

Having received assurances from the somewhat mysterious girl in front of him, the Fusion Warrior placed the Divine Key in front of him onto the pink-haired girl beside him who had a similar face to his own.

Then, under her expectant gaze, the Divine Key began to dissipate and merge into the pink-haired girl's body, and the wounds that had been on her body slowly healed—finally, the girl opened her eyes...

"bell...."

Sakura looked excitedly at her younger sister, who had already opened her eyes, and seemed to want to give her a big hug... However, the reaction of the awakened girl exceeded the comprehension of everyone present—

"Hahaha—I've got work done! This is my leg! This is my hand! And my hair!"

Having broken free from Sakura's embrace, Miss Rin moved to the center of the room, pinching and twisting her hands and thighs while cheering.

Under the gaze of everyone who thought the child was crazy, Ling burst out of the room with a whoosh—

Immediately, everyone's gaze turned to Lady Apocalypse, whose expression was beginning to contort in extreme pain...

"What are you looking at me for?! Go after them!!"

Are you sure that child is still mentally sound?

Even Karen, who was standing nearby, nudged her daughter with her elbow as she watched the girl who had just sat up in shock from her deathbed, and whispered a question—

"Is this girl alright? She was just talking a lot a moment ago... but now she's gone completely mad..."

"It's not a big problem—"

The blonde girl's hand trembled slightly as she pushed up her non-existent glasses.

"She's probably just going crazy from not being able to move around freely for so long... Let Uncle Qianjie give her a beating, and that'll be fine—"

"Hey, God, what have you taken me for!?"

Upon hearing this, Qianjie immediately became unhappy and yelled at Snow to express his dissatisfaction...

"I said, aren't you going to hurry up and chase after him... that kid has been running for almost a minute—if we don't find him soon, he might end up in a mental hospital..."

Danzhu and Cangxuan, who had also witnessed everything, stood at the door, watching the group still arguing.

"Hmph, I'll settle the score with you when we get back—"

The hot-tempered man took the lead and chased after them, leaving the others behind. Following closely behind was Sakura, Rin's guardian...

"Miss Goddess, are you really sure that child is just... um, going crazy from holding it in? And who is that guy who looks exactly like Hua Zhang, but has the complete opposite personality???"

Finally, Cangxuan and Danzhu, who had come out with Snow and the others, threw all their questions at once—

"Hmm...the main reason is that they were definitely going crazy from holding it in, and the secondary reason might be that they had some kind of brain problem. I don't know what it was like in your previous era...a large part of the Herrschers in this era were a bit silly at the beginning."

"So, rule-making can affect intelligence?"

Cang Xuannuo nodded thoughtfully, intending to record it as a reference for future research.

"As for the one who looks a lot like Hua, she is the Herrscher of Knowledge of this era... You can just think of her as Hua's daughter—the rebellious kind, who is currently running away from home and I picked her up."

I apologized on the spot for misdirecting my force!

Chapter 321 The Battle of the Four Emperors

While Snow and his group were searching the city for the Herrscher of Corruption, Ms. Ling, who had suddenly fallen ill, Jiu Xiao, who was heading towards Coral Island, also took out his communication terminal and dialed a contact—

"Hey, Theresa? Send the Divine Authority Squad to Coral Island—that idiot who kidnapped Ninti wants to have a go at me there!"

"Those who can kidnap Xiao Ningdi are no ordinary kidnappers! We must strike hard!"

"Huh... what? Otto was killed by the Herrscher of Consciousness who popped out of some Schicksal lab?"

"Damn it, when's the feast?"

"Ah, good, good—Kiana, Fu Hua, and Durandal are coming too?"

"The Coral Island has been experiencing a lot of collapse lately? I know, I know—that's easy to handle. If there's a problem, I'll just go and take care of it."

After ending his communication with Theresa, Jiuxiao did not stop his efforts to recruit more people, but instead dialed another communication channel—

.....

At one of the World Serpent's branches today, our little island rapper seemed to be in a pretty good mood. After taking care of the little guys she brought back from Sky City, Siola opened the door to the branch's disguised bar, ready to start a new day of business.

Of course, before officially opening for business, she needed to wake up a few people who were drunk and sprawled on the floor like dead dogs from their hangovers...

"These guys aren't even worthy of peanuts, yet they're drinking vodka straight away...???"

"Hey, wake up! How much did you guys drink last night???"

After kicking the jackal blocking the aisle to no avail, Hiola had no choice but to lift the group of drunkards one by one onto the sofa...

"Jackal, Night Owl...why is there a Gray Snake too?? How is this guy drinking alcohol while wearing a mask...?"

"Hmm...it seems we're still missing one...where's the little ancestor??"

Noticing that one of them seemed to be missing, Ciora began to look around, but the small bar did not seem to have the white-clad girl in sight.

"Duang—!"

"???!"

Hiola, whose head had been thrashed by a communicator, looked up at the ceiling. The very person she was searching for was fast asleep, perched on the chandelier.

"How could someone climb up to the chandelier?!"

After the raven was shocked by the group's increasingly outrageous drinking habits, the communicator that had hit it on the head started ringing again...

"Hey, this is Raven's Roundabout Bar. Press 1 to make a reservation, press 2 for delivery, and press 3 if you don't want to get yelled at—"

"Godf*** Raven's Bar... What's your name again—oh, Kojima Bakuro, right?! I'm Hōraiji Kyushō! Let that white-haired guy answer the phone..."

Jiu Xiao, on the other end of the phone, was visibly taken aback by Xiola's reply. He then reorganized his thoughts and quickly stated his purpose.

"Huh??? I already said I'm no longer the Island Raven!!! And I'm about to have a new island! Right next to the artificial coral island in the sea!"

"......"

"Hello? Talk to me?!"

Just after Raven revealed that he had a new island, silence fell on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, my friend—I have some bad news to share with you... Schicksal has recently detected that the Honkai energy reaction on Coral Island is extremely active, and there is a high possibility that a Great Honkai will occur..."

Jiuxiao announced the news to Xiora in an extremely sympathetic tone...

"...Thank you, please wait a moment."

Siola, on the other end of the conversation, paused for a moment, then immediately took out her phone and dialed the number of an auction house—

“Yes, I relinquish my first right to purchase that island, giving it to the second-highest bidder. Penalty? No problem—I'm giving it up.”

"Phew... Thanks, Valkyrie of Destiny."

Raven breathed a sigh of relief as he managed to get rid of the hot potato, and thanked Jiuxiao on the other end of the phone.

"You're welcome. So, where is Imotek, the one I'm looking for?"

"Well... she's drunk and climbed onto the chandelier in the tavern... I need to find a ladder to get her down..."

"Huh? No need for that—go find a broom, poke her down along with the light, and if she asks, just say she got fat and pulled the chandelier down."

"This isn't a good idea...?"

Tiora glanced at the broom in her hand, then at the white-haired little ancestor on her head, and her rebellious spirit suddenly stirred.

"Hurry up, I have an urgent matter—! Get her down here!"

"Alright..."

Hearing the urging voice on the other end of the phone, Ciora immediately unplugged the surveillance tape, then grabbed a broom and smashed it against Imotek on the chandelier without a second thought—
