Kiana, do you understand what filial piety is?

Rita stood half a step behind Fu Hua, her eyes wandering between the two visitors. To be honest, she was really curious about the relationship between Fu Hua and the other party.

"Alright." Sakura took a step back, the smile on her face gradually fading, "That's enough for today."

She turned to look at Yaesakura, who nodded knowingly, "We should go too."

Fu Hua opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded.

In the sunlight, her expression seemed a little lonely.

Ying's gaze lingered on Fu Hua's face for a moment, and she suddenly smiled: "I hope that next time, we can still fight side by side."

Just as he finished speaking, a breeze blew by, and the figures of Sakura and Yaezakura began to become blurred, like the blurred brushstrokes in an ink painting, turning into two misty white smoke and disappearing from the sight of Fu Hua and Rita.

Only the faint scent of cherry blossoms remains in the air...

Fu Hua subconsciously took a step forward and stretched out her hand as if trying to retain something.

But in the end, her fingers only touched cold air.

Rita took a step forward and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Fu Hua shook her head, "I... am fine." But her eyes betrayed her. The loss and confusion revealed in her eyes made people see the pain in her heart at a glance.

The sun remained as bright as ever, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion. Only the traces of battle left on the ground proved the reality of the battle they had just fought side by side.

On the other side...

"Is she okay?" Siegfried frowned, her blue eyes filled with worry. She reached out and gently brushed away the stray white hair from Kiana's forehead, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Yu Zhe was holding the unconscious Kiana steadily. There were a few small scars on the girl's pale face.

"She just fell asleep. There's no danger to her life." As he said that, he adjusted his posture so that Kiana could lean more comfortably.

"The Herrscher of the Void's power fluctuations are too obvious." Yu Zhe took over her words, looking up at the sky with a serious look. "The reinforcements from Destiny may arrive at any time. And as an executor of Anti-Entropy, my presence here will only make the situation worse."

"Yeah." Siegfried nodded. Although she should not be recognized now that she has become the Valkyrie of Woman's Destiny, Kiana had just turned into the Herrscher of the Void, and Yu Zhe was also the executor of Anti-Entropy. Staying here would only increase the danger.

"According to my plan, Raven should be nearby to pick us up," Yu Zhe said, opening the communicator with one hand and quickly entering a string of code. The communicator quickly responded, and he said briefly, "Meet at point B in five minutes."

Siegfried nodded and hurried to keep up with Yu Zhe. She kept looking back, alert for the possible appearance of the Valkyrie, her slender fingers always tightly grasping the Holy Fire Judgement at her waist.

"This time it was really... too dangerous." She whispered, with fear in her voice.

Her gaze fell on Kiana in Yu Zhe's arms, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Yu Zhe didn't respond, simply tightening his grip around Kiana. The girl shifted unconsciously in his embrace, mumbling softly. He glanced down, his stern expression softening slightly.

"People of destiny won't give up so easily." Yu Zhe finally said, "We have to speed up."

Siegfried nodded and quickened his pace to walk side by side with him.

"Is this within your expectations?" she couldn't help but ask, with a hint of doubt in her tone, her eyes fixed on Yu Zhe, as if trying to find the answer from his face.

"It's just a possibility I've anticipated," he replied briefly. "After all, what you lack in strength you can only make up for in wisdom."

After turning a few corners, a nondescript black car quietly stopped in the shadows. The window rolled down, revealing Raven's somewhat tired face.

Her sharp eyes quickly swept over the three people, finally stopping on the unconscious Kiana.

"Get in the car," she said briefly, looking away from Kiana.

Siegfried opened the car door first and helped Yu Zhe carefully place Kiana in the back seat.

"She needs treatment." Raven glanced in the rearview mirror and started the car. "The base has medical equipment."

Yu Zhe sat in the passenger seat. "I've already notified Long Ma to prepare," he said without looking up. "Also, we need to clear the surveillance records in this area."

Raven hummed softly, expertly steering the car through the narrow alley. "We're already doing it," she said calmly, "but you guys made quite a noise, so cleaning up afterward will be a hassle."

The car fell into a brief silence, with only the roar of the engine and Kiana's faint breathing intertwined.

Siegfried looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, and her tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

But Siegfried's eyes were still full of worry. She knew that the crisis was far from over.

Kiana awakens again as the Herrscher of the Sky, and Siegfried believes that Otto will not miss this opportunity.

Yu Zhe saw Siegfried's worry in the rearview mirror and said comfortingly, "Although Kiana has become the Herrscher of the Sky again this time, the situation may not be as bad as you think."

"But......"

Before Siegfried could finish his words, Yu Zhe interrupted him, saying, "If Otto wanted to attack you, he would have done it long ago."

Just like in the plot, Otto had many opportunities to capture Kiana, but he waited for two years.

"He's waiting for an opportunity, so nothing will happen to him now."

Even so, it doesn't mean that Otto won't use other means, because Otto needs Kiana to gain love...

Only Kiana with love can kill gods.

187 After losing her identity as the Herrscher of the Sky, what else does she have left?

In Yu Zhe's secret base, lights cast mottled shadows on the metal walls, and the Herrscher of the Sky, who was pretending to be asleep, slowly opened his golden eyes.

"Hmm..." She hummed softly, and rubbed her temples with her slender fingers, as if trying to dispel the remaining sleepiness and slight discomfort.

When she sat up in bed, her long silver hair fell like a waterfall, spreading a silver pattern on the sheets.

She lowered her head and gently stroked the place on her chest where the Yama Sword should have pierced. There was not even a trace of a scar on the smooth skin there, as if the fatal blow had never happened.

Yu Zhe walked into the room, looked at the newly awakened Herrscher of the Sky, and asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any discomfort?"

The Herrscher of the Sky turned his head, his golden eyes narrowed slightly, like a vigilant cat.

"No." Her voice was full of pride. "It's just a minor injury. It can't kill me."

"Yes, yes, yes~" Yu Zhe did not refute. For a cat of this breed, you can only stroke it along its fur, otherwise it will breathe heavily.

He walked slowly closer and stopped three steps away from the bed - this distance was neither too close to arouse the other party's vigilance, nor too far to seem unfamiliar.

The Herrscher of the Void suddenly narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light flashing in them.

"I have a feeling you're thinking of something rude." Her voice grew colder, and the air around them seemed to freeze a little.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about what to do next?" Yu Zhe naturally couldn't tell the Herrscher of the Void his true thoughts. He tilted his head and showed an innocent expression, like a child who did something wrong but didn't want to admit it.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Yu Zhe's eyes as he stared closely at the Herrscher of Void. "Now, according to the agreement, you should hand over the core of the Herrscher of Reason to me."

"Hmph!" The Herrscher of the Void turned away, her silver hair swaying slightly with her movements. She raised her hand, and a crystal emitting a pale blue light appeared out of thin air, slowly floating towards Yu Zhe.

"Take it." There was obvious reluctance in her tone, but she had to fulfill her promise.

Yu Zhe carefully caught the core and felt a slight coolness at his fingertips.

"Is this the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Reason?" he whispered to himself, holding it up to his eyes for a closer look. The core shone dreamily under the light, and tiny points of light seemed to flow within it, twinkling like stars in the night sky.

“It’s so cute even though it’s small~”

Just as he was concentrating on sensing the inside of the core, his brows suddenly frowned.

Through perception, he could not only feel Yang sleeping in the core, but also another unfamiliar soul fluctuation.

Another soul?

This discovery made his expression instantly solemn.

"What's wrong?" The Herrscher of the Void keenly noticed his abnormality, and stared at his profile with golden eyes.

Yu Zhe didn't answer immediately, his mind was racing.

As a time traveler, he remembered that the First Herrscher, Walter Joyce, was able to retain his humanity after becoming a Herrscher, largely because of the souls of the 300,000 people who perished in the Collapse.

This should be......

Because he had not read the story about Walter Joyce carefully.

"Nothing." Finally, he put away his solemn expression and gave the Herrscher of the Sky a reassuring smile.

This might be the same as Sakura, a butterfly effect caused by his coming into this world.

The Herrscher of the Sky narrowed his golden eyes, "What are you laughing at?"

Yu Zhe's smile deepened. He deliberately adjusted his cuffs slowly and said, "Nothing. I just noticed something interesting."

Very interesting~

"Interesting?" The Herrscher of the Void snorted coldly. Although he didn't know what Yu Zhe had noticed, the Herrscher of the Void instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.

Yu Zhe narrowed his eyes. "Yeah, it's very interesting~ But it has nothing to do with you."

The Herrscher of the Void snorted coldly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his golden eyes: "Hmph, you're just being mysterious."

Yu Zhe changed the subject, "Let's talk about how to fix your health first, shall we?" Yu Zhe's smile faded, his expression becoming serious. He extended his slender fingers and gestured in the air, "There are two options now."

The Herrscher of the Void crossed his arms, tilted his head and glanced at him: "Get to the point."

"The first option is the same as what I said to Chi You." Yu Zhe raised a finger, "Use the Yama Blade and the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Reason to create a new body for you."

"As for the second method..." Yu Zhe suddenly paused, "it requires waiting for a while."

"Wait for a while?" The pupils of the Herrscher of the Void suddenly contracted, and fluctuations of Honkai energy began to appear around her body. "You want to play a trick on me?!" Her voice suddenly rose, with obvious anger.

"That's not the case." Yu Zhe shook his head, took a half step back, and raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm. "I think you should be very clear about the power of your current body."

The Herrscher of the Void narrowed his eyes slightly, the fluctuations of Honkai energy gradually subsiding, but his expression remained stern: "Continue."

"She is the vessel that allows you to revive again." Yu Zhe observed her reaction, "But this vessel is not perfect now. She cannot withstand the power of your prime."

"Kiana, like you, was born from the consciousness within the Herrscher core. As long as Kiana is unwilling to accept the Honkai Impact, this body will never be able to achieve perfect Herrscherization."

It has been clearly stated in the plot where Mei Raiden becomes the Herrscher of Lightning that Kiana's body was eroded by the Honkai energy because it could not withstand the power within the body.

But you have to know that during the second collapse, Sirin had no problem with the six-core drive, while Kiana only had the Herrscher core of the Herrscher of the Void, and the Conquest Gem and the Serenity Gem were about to collapse.

The Herrscher of the Sky's expression became uncertain, "Hmph! That idiot..."

He possesses such great power, yet he is always timid.

Yu Zhe spread his hands and smiled helplessly. "Even if I use the power of the Herrscher of Reason to create a new body for you, it won't be like Xilin's body during the Second Collapse." Yu Zhe looked at the Herrscher of Void. "After all, neither you nor I are true Herrschers of Reason."

"My second method will take some time, but it will restore your strength to near its peak."

After hearing Yu Zhe's words, the Herrscher of the Void fell into silence.

She is well aware of the potential of this body, it is very strong...

But she was also very clear about the relationship between herself and Kiana. They were both extensions of Sirin's will, and in theory they both had control over the Herrscher's core.

It was only because Kiana was unwilling to accept the past and give up control of the Herrscher Core that the Herrscher of the Void was able to suppress her. However, as long as Kiana's consciousness did not completely disappear or was swallowed by her, this container would never be perfect.

A flicker of emotion flashed in the eyes of the Herrscher of the Sky. "Are you questioning my control over this body?"

"No." Yu Zhe shook his head. "I'm just reminding you of a fact. This body has great potential... but it's also dangerous."

"You can suppress her now only because she is resisting her own power. But if one day..."

"Enough!" Her golden eyes burned with anger. "That cowardly wretch will never be able to defeat me!"

Yu Zhe's face remained calm. "I'm just stating the possibilities. And there are things you know better than anyone else, right?"

The Herrscher of the Sky's expression was uncertain.

On the one hand, she was unwilling to admit the threat that Kiana posed to her; on the other hand, she knew clearly that what Yu Zhe said was not unreasonable.

She and Kiana have the same control over the Herrscher Core. Now she can suppress Kiana's consciousness not because she is really stronger than Kiana, but because Kiana's heart resists this power.

Yu Zhe waited quietly for her to calm down.

The laboratory fell silent for a moment, with only the slight hum of the running instruments echoing in the air.

After a long moment, the Herrscher of the Void spoke again, his voice regaining its usual arrogance: "So... what is your second method?"

"You'd better not let me down." She raised her chin, and a dangerous gleam flashed in her golden eyes.

Yu Zhe's lips curled up slightly. "Of course not. The second option is actually very simple. That is to give up the identity of the Herrscher of the Void and become a Herrscher again as the Herrscher of Death."

“???” The Herrscher of the Void looked at Yu Zhe: “What do you mean?! Say it again?!”

"Is that hard to understand?" Yu Zhe looked her straight in the eye and explained calmly, "I know this sounds ridiculous, but please hear me out."

"Ridiculous!" The Herrscher of the Void interrupted harshly, his long hair fluttering in the wind. "Are you asking me to give up this innate power?! Do you even know what you're saying?!!!"

The concentration of Honkai energy in the laboratory soared instantly, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

One after another, sub-sky spears emerged from the void, with their sharp tips pointing directly at Yu Zhe, as if they were about to pierce him in the next second.
