Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

The black mist was spreading continuously, sealing off the space. The Herrscher of Thunder knew that once she came into contact with that black mist, the power of the Herrscher of Corruption contained within it would continuously invade her body. The power of corruption would cause her to completely lose control of the energy within her body and would put a great burden on her body.

The space was shrinking, and the opponent was constantly moving through the black mist. It was nothing like the previous Yae Sakura, which emphasized swift and rapid attacks. Instead, it was like an assassin hiding in the shadows, using the black mist to conceal its form until the prey was exhausted before delivering a fatal blow.

Like a wild beast hunting its prey.

There was no more room for the Herrscher of Thunder to dodge. If she wanted to avoid the next attack, she would have to slip into the black mist. At that point, the true outcome of the battle would be decided.

Fortunately, she was not fighting alone.

Just as Jizo Mitama was about to slash off the head of the Herrscher of Thunder, a thick blue laser suddenly struck the massive armor, knocking it back into the mist, which was also dispersed in large quantities.

"You're really slow."

"Wasn't that because you didn't want me to interfere with your fight in the first place?"

The man in the black robe removed the hood that was covering his face. He was Walter Yang, the current leader of Anti-Entropy. He had been hiding in St. Freya Academy as a teacher to recuperate, but he never expected to be enveloped by that huge barrier.

"As expected, at this final moment, the power of the Corruptor will be transferred to Yae Sakura's body in the vast majority. And now, of the original two Dream Lords, I am left with only one."

Walter adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed the current situation.

"I don't know how that little dwarf knew there were two Dream Lords, but right now we just need to focus all our strength on beating Yae Sakura unconscious, right?"

"Hmm...that's how it is in theory."

"What a pity, my other half is still in my dreams... Oh well, the two of us should be enough, senior, don't hold us back!"

Suddenly, a naginata appeared in the hand of the Herrscher of Thunder. This long-handled weapon would compensate for the lack of weapon length when fighting Jizo Mitama in close combat.

The knife itself is not entirely made of lightning, but rather a contraption made of various fine iron filings, meaning that the knife can transform into anything when necessary.

Electromagnetic force is really useful.

The Herrscher of Thunder charged forward, engaging in a fierce battle with the opponent's dual-wielding Jizo-style swordsmanship, wielding her naginata.

Meanwhile, Varta constructed various ranged weapons around him, unleashing a fierce barrage of fire at Jizo Mitama. Amidst the deluge of lasers and gunpowder, he would occasionally add simulated black holes created by the Star of Eden.

This long-range support is also very effective, causing the Jizo Mitama to lag inexplicably when attacking, and also causing it to deflect the barrage of attacks.

This huge opening was naturally not to be overlooked by the Herrscher of Thunder, whose blade continuously inflicted effective damage on the latter.

However, Jizo Mitama itself also has an extremely powerful reorganization ability, after all, it is just a huge energy body condensed from the power of the Herrscher.

As long as its energy is not completely depleted or blocked, it can quickly heal its wounds, but that's all.

As it is continuously being drained, whenever it tries to break free, the gravity on its body inexplicably becomes a thousand or even ten thousand times stronger, causing it to break free.

Even if that powerful gravity doesn't last forever, its sudden appearance at a crucial moment will inevitably cause its behavior and actions to freeze.

A fatal interruption is enough to prevent it from taking any action that could break the stalemate.

Yae Sakura eventually reverted to her original form and collapsed weakly to the ground. Although her breathing remained steady, she had fallen into a coma.

"Hmm, it seems that even if she is unconscious, this illusion will not be broken, which means that the only way is to kill her."

The Herrscher of Thunder raised her naginata, preparing to deliver the final blow.

"Don't hurt my older sister!!!"

Just then, a chibi-style little girl suddenly flew over and pounced on Yae Sakura, blocking the blade that was aimed at her heart.

"...Higomaru?"

The Herrscher of Thunder sensed the somewhat familiar aura of the little girl and was momentarily stunned, staring at the girl in disbelief.

"How did you end up like this? Is it because almost all of your Herrscher energy was absorbed?"

"I am Himeko now! Of course, you can also call me Rin! In any case, you must not hurt Big Sister!"

"Fine, I can spare her life, but you have to tell me how to break this illusion. If there's really no other way, we'll still choose to kill her."

The Herrscher of Thunder didn't care about Yae Sakura's life or death; she only cared about whether she could leave this place and obtain a new body from the outside world. She had had enough of this feeling of being restricted and completely unfree.

"...I don't know either. All I know is that woman's true identity and her purpose in doing this."

"That woman's true identity..."

Upon hearing this, the Herrscher of Thunder was filled with curiosity. She put down her weapon and said, "Tell me what you know, and I will refrain from harming your elder sister for now. Of course, if we ultimately find that we cannot leave this place by any means, I will still choose to take action."

"Did you just say it so bluntly?"

In Walter's memory, apart from his old friend, it seemed that no one else would speak so bluntly.

"I simply disdain deceiving anyone."

The Herrscher of Thunder possesses her own pride.

Chapter 135: The Bottom Line

"What are you looking at?"

Cheng Xing snapped out of his reverie, looked at Fu Hua beside him, and said with a smile, "I'm looking at the future, a hundred years from now."

"Following this trend, this guy will definitely say something incomprehensible next, just like the immortals in storytellers always do."

Li Sushang picked up an orange from the table, propped her face up with her other hand, and looked extremely bored.

"No, it's not something mysterious. It's just that I saw some people in the future who would need my help."

"As expected, it's this kind of strange talk. Even immortals can't see into the distant future. Someone is asking you for help, isn't that right? If you were really that powerful, even the Crimson Kite Immortal wouldn't..."

Li Sushang glanced at Fu Hua's calm expression again before falling silent.

"So I'm really not an immortal. My temperament hasn't reached the level of an immortal, which is as benevolent as water. My strength is also far behind. My experience in the mortal world is not even sufficient. I can't be called an immortal. At most, I'm just an ordinary person with slightly stronger abilities."

“Sir, sometimes excessive modesty is actually a form of pride.”

Otto said quietly from the side.

"is it?"

When Cheng Xing thought of the attack that hadn't even scratched the opponent's head and the god's carefree attitude of doing whatever he wanted, he couldn't help but smile helplessly and said, "If you had experienced what I did, you probably wouldn't think you were that powerful."

"So what are you going to do next? Are you going to kill all the remaining disciples?"

"Isn't that obvious? However, if Fu Hua, you're willing to let me spare their lives, I can back down."

"........."

Fu Hua shook her head.

"Now, let's take a good look around China in this era. Anyway, those guys are all in a relatively far place, so let's travel and see what stories happen along the way."

As Cheng Xing spoke, he turned his gaze back to the window he had been staring at, where there was a street with pedestrians and vendors.

"Bronya... Fu Hua... while I was away, was your place still functioning?"

The perspective shifts, and the Herrscher of Thunder is seen carrying the unconscious Yae Sakura on one arm, while holding the two-head-tall Himeko in the other.

When the Herrscher of Thunder arrived at the open space of the Castle Keep with her spoils and Welt, who no longer intended to disguise himself, she saw Fu Hua and Himeko standing there, looking helplessly at the group of people still sleeping on the ground.

"So these guys still can't break free from their environment?"

The Herrscher of Thunder put the two foxes aside and looked helplessly at Raiden Mei, who was fast asleep with a satisfied smile on her face.

"The problem now is that we simply cannot enter their mental world."

Fu Hua had even tried using the Feather Crossing technique, but it was blocked by some inexplicable force, preventing her consciousness from entering. By the time they woke up, this dream world would probably become a real world.

"Tsk! What's wrong with that little dwarf? Logically speaking, she shouldn't be unconscious by now."

"Bronya... perhaps everyone's hope of waking up rests on her."

In Bronya's dream, looking at the rusty scythe lying quietly on the beach, Bronya had a strange intuition that she had to reach out and grasp it.

Bronya stood up from the beach, ignoring Seele's puzzled expression and the black-haired youth who was smiling and watching her from a distance. She then gripped the rusty scythe.

The moment he grasped the scythe, the surrounding dreamscape shattered, leaving only the black-haired youth, who drifted into the scythe like smoke.

As if sensing something, Bronya gently swung her scythe, creating an opening large enough for her to enter, and stepped inside.

Kiana was holding her daughter, lying quietly in his arms, enjoying this peaceful and wonderful afternoon nap. But just then, her front door was suddenly blown open!

"Kiana! Even in your dreams, please don't have such strange fantasies about other people's boyfriends!"

Bronya carried the rusty, enormous scythe and walked in step by step. Of course, this was in the Dream Realm, so please ignore Bronya's leg problem.

"Oh! Bronya!"

The moment Kiana saw Bronya, it was as if she recalled everything from the past. When she looked at the black-haired youth lying next to her, she noticed that although he still had a gentle smile on his face, his eyes were full of helplessness.

"Cheng Xing..."

Kiana suddenly realized that her sexual orientation might not be something that couldn't be changed.

She can fully accept the dishes she makes, and even correct her terrible cooking skills...

"What are you thinking about, Kiana! You should be devoted to both of you!"

Bronya sensed that Kiana was starting to overthink, so she frowned and immediately grabbed one of Kiana's hands, forcefully pulling her out of the dream.

Before leaving, she looked back and saw Cheng Xing raising his hands and shaking his head helplessly, indicating that he was innocent.

Then, Bronya, acting like a rebellious young girl, carried a huge scythe and kept barging into other people's dreams. She would then drag and pull people out of the dream, and even snatch a pair of sunglasses from someone and put them on her face.

In Theresa's dream, she saw Bronya with the air of a mob boss, and was momentarily stunned, before Bronya's voice reached her ears.

"take away!"

Kiana stood behind, coldly nodding like a thug, and then tried to drag Theresa away by force.

"Let me go! Who are you people? Kids shouldn't play such silly games like pretend!"

"child?"

"I could tell from your voice that you're not an adult yet; you even sound like a baby."

"...Kiana, break her arms and legs."

"Yes! Boss!"

"Ah! Cecilia, help me!!!"

Amid Theresa's cries, she was forcibly taken away from there.

Finally, while those outside were still wondering what to do, the bodies of those who were unconscious vanished in the next moment, followed by an extremely eerie tearing sound in the air.
