Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

Her shadow was too heavy there.

"Of course not." Kainuo waved his hand. "Although Xiaoshi can do it, she's obviously not the type to patiently teach others, right? Let's talk about it after we get back. By then, I also happen to have something I want to ask you."

Fu Hua nodded, "Okay."

After the words fell, the three of them looked at each other and left Kiana's consciousness space one after another.

Keno had just returned to his body and his eyes widened when he saw the Holy Judge of Skyfire and the Black Abyss White Flower pressing against his forehead.

Subconsciously trying to push them apart, he found himself tied up tightly.

Chapter 225 The Fourth Collapse Ends

Ten minutes ago, when Kayno and the other two had just entered Kiana's consciousness field.

Seeing that everything had gone as expected so far, Siegfried breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the three people sitting on the sofa who seemed to be asleep.

After a pause, he looked at Kiana with concern again.

"Kiana, how do you feel now? Is your head buzzing?"

"I don't feel anything?" Kiana shook her head. "The voice that was talking in my head just now is gone, but other than that it's the same as usual... Does it need me to be asleep for it to work?"

Kiana guessed, and excitedly wanted to slip onto the sofa and join the three people who were sleeping.

"Since Yu Duchen's influence wasn't directed at you, it's normal that you didn't react." Bianca grabbed Kiana and said, "Although I don't understand the Herrscher of Corrosion's power, I know that simply sleeping wouldn't allow you to enter Yu Duchen's interference-induced consciousness."

"And it's best for you not to interfere with your brother and the others right now, to avoid any negative impact."

Kiana struggled hard twice, but after failing, she turned around dejectedly and looked at Bianca.

"I know, I know."

Although she said this, Kiana still looked unwilling, "But are you so sure that sleeping is useless? You should be brave enough to try!"

"As a Valkyrie, it's okay to be brave and try things, but not when there could be huge consequences like this."

Bianca released her hand and let go of the other person with a normal expression.

"And I've tried it. Dreaming and being invaded by Yu Duchen are two completely different feelings."

When her temper was still very stubborn, she had practiced against Fu Hua who used Yu Duchen several times at the Tianming headquarters. Of course, she had also experienced Fu Hua's Yu Duchen and made many attempts to train herself to get rid of Yu Duchen. Continuously sleeping and dreaming and waking up by her own efforts was also one of the methods that caused the experiment to fail.

"But speaking of which, Kiana, are you so confident that you can fall asleep?" Bianca asked. "Even though it's evening now, most people wouldn't feel sleepy, right?"

She took a lot of sleeping pills when she was training to sleep, but why did Kiana go straight to the sofa so naturally just now?

Kiana blinked at this, giving a confident expression.

"Hey, this is my specialty! Classes are always so boring, so I've developed this trick of being able to fall asleep at any time—Oops, Dad, please stop hitting me!"

"You should pay attention in class when you're in school. This is the most basic quality of a good child." Siegfried took his hand away from Kiana's head with a helpless look on his face. "Besides, Theresa and Kaino said that you always skip classes and school. Don't do that again in the future."

"Know it!"

Kiana responded loudly, then puffed her lips and muttered, "Tsk, Dad, didn't you skip school and even run away from home before?"

The people around looked at Kiana with either admiration or helplessness.

First, he confessed to his father and sister that he slept in class, and then he directly whispered back. It's hard to say anything else, but Kaslana's courage must have been inherited. (Edited)

Siegfried held his forehead helplessly and sighed. When he was about to say something else, his attention was suddenly drawn to Kaino who started to move on the sofa.

"Kaino, are you awake?" Siegfried looked at Fu Hua and Xiao Shi who were still motionless, and subconsciously felt something was wrong. He frowned and walked forward to support Kaino and asked about the situation.

"Did something happen? Why are you the only one awake?"

"...Let's talk later. My mind is a bit confused right now and I need to sort out my thoughts."

Kayno shook his head to stop Siegfried from approaching, pressing his right hand against his temple. Seeing this, Bianca quickly brought him a glass of water.

"Hey, are you okay?" Xier frowned and came over. "It's just a Herrscher. Did something go wrong?"

He didn't answer Xier's question, nor did he take the cup from Bianca. Kainuo's hand, which was rubbing his head, suddenly stopped, and he opened his collar to look at his chest.

——The skin there is smooth and bright, without any other traces.

"Tsk."

Suddenly, he smacked his lips in displeasure, exhaled, and frowned.

Xier narrowed her eyes, stepped back, and drew her scythe. Bianca tapped a button on her wrist and quickly drew the Black Abyss White Flower, draping it behind her. Almost everyone present was acutely aware of something amiss with Keno and silently took precautions.

Except for Kiana, who was already close to Kayno.

She couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to pat Kainuo's shoulder, "Hey, Kainuo, don't scare me."

"What happened? Where's the monitor and her sister? And you...if it really doesn't work, just ignore me and call them out first."

"She is not the master." Bella suddenly spoke.

She shrugged her nose, and her eyebrows on her originally expressionless face wrinkled in disgust.

"The scent of the Herrscher of the Sky has disappeared from the Master, replaced by something very disgusting—"

Before Bella could finish her words, Keno suddenly stopped, pressed Kiana's arm with his left hand and pulled it towards him, and then his right hand quickly moved up and approached Kiana's neck.

Bianca, who was well prepared, flew up and kicked Keno in the chest, then grabbed Kiana, who was confused and didn't understand the situation, with her left hand and quickly retreated.

After knocking over the sofa and falling into the wall, Kainuo rubbed his aching chest, and the expression on his face became extremely irritated.

Things didn't go exactly as planned.

It was clearly this body, and he had completely absorbed the memories stored in his brain. However, the powers that this body should have possessed and the channel connecting it to the imaginary space had inexplicably disappeared, leaving him in a passive position.

Although the inverted world bubble still existed in this body, the Honkai energy he obtained from God was not stable enough to maintain this world bubble. Not only could he not get the huge amount of star energy fed back from it, he didn't even have the Honkai energy to support his use of power!

If it weren't for the superior physical qualities of this body, he would have been kicked half to death by now... How could this be the strongest body as expected? It was clearly a Herrscher's Prison!

"Scarlet pupils?" Bianca frowned as she looked at Kayno's eyes, glanced at Xier who was also frowning, and then looked at Xiaoshi who was still sleeping.

Although Xier's eyes were also red, they were very different from Kainuo's eyes at the moment. To be honest, they were almost identical to Xiaoshi's pupils.

So, this is the Ruler of Consciousness taking advantage of the opportunity?

Although she didn't understand why the new Herrscher didn't trigger the Great Collapse or use his powers to fight after appearing, since he had occupied her brother's body without permission, there was no way this matter could be resolved peacefully.

"Don't hesitate, let's just hold him back!"

Bianca quickly took out the Yudu Dust that Kayno had buried before and let it float in the air to resist the opponent's possible power. Without any hesitation, she rushed forward and punched Kayno on the head.

Chapter 226: The Ruler of Knowledge is Executed

"So, Bianca, your consciousness is saying that after I entered Kiana's consciousness, I became a Herrscher and even almost hurt Kiana, so you knocked me out and tied me up?"

Kaino nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you guys pointed your weapons at me the moment I woke up."

Everyone in the room looked at Keno quietly without saying a word.

"Ahem, but isn't the situation clear now?" Kainuo coughed lightly and nodded at Xiaoshi and Fu Hua who had woken up beside him.

"Look, they're both awake now, so I'm the real brother! No need to tie me up anymore!"

"That's impossible to say."

Xiao Zhi blinked his red eyes in delight and approached Kainuo, looking him up and down carefully. "Who knows, maybe you are also a fake now? Yes, maybe you are the Herrscher of Knowledge!"

"Please look in the mirror before you say that."

Kaino glanced unhappily at Xiaozhi, who was obviously joining in the fun, and said, "Besides, your eyes have always been red, right? Now that the back of my eyes have turned blue again, why can't you trust me?"

"Maybe this is all a conspiracy of the Ruler of Consciousness!" Xiao Shi opened his eyes wide and looked angry.

"The evil and cunning Herrscher of Knowledge first pretended not to change his eye color, then took the opportunity to change his eye color to disguise himself. How despicable! -- And don't look at me. Herrschers can't be generalized. Just because I can't change my eye color, does that mean he can't change it too?"

Kainuo squinted at Xiaozhi and twitched his lips. Finally, he sighed helplessly, "Honestly, don't you feel like you're scolding yourself?"

Xiaozhi shrugged casually.

For her, who is a fun-loving girl, what does it matter if she scolds herself?

"...In short, we really can't guarantee that you are my brother." Bianca looked directly at Keno and said slowly, "If we rashly release you, you will eventually become a hidden danger."

Xier patted Bella, then glanced at Kaino.

"It's true that the master's scent is on him," Bella frowned. "But that disgusting Herrscher smell is still there... I can't guarantee that the Herrscher of Knowledge hasn't deceived me. After all, I'm just a Honkai Beast."

As a Honkai beast, Bella, your words are full of various problems...

With a sigh, Kainuo pointed at Xiaozhi again.

"The situation is actually quite clear now, right? Since Xiao Shi has been joking around for quite some time, doesn't that mean I'm fine? She's the Herrscher of Consciousness, so she must be aware of their methods."

"Oh, that's boring. I was planning to play for a while longer."

Giving Kainuo a complaining look, Xiao Shi sighed under the gaze of everyone, folding his arms and glancing sideways at Kainuo. "Yes, that's right, he is indeed Kainuo himself... I don't sense the consciousness of the Herrscher of Consciousness within him. Perhaps it's hiding within the Herrscher's core? I can't see it through the layer of flesh."

Everyone in the room looked at each other and still did not move.

"Hey, why aren't you guys moving?" Xiao Shi scratched his head and looked at Kaino in confusion. "Don't they all like you that much?"

"...I think they probably think that you, the Ruler of Consciousness, might be the Ruler of Consciousness?" Kainuo said after carefully considering his words.

"Oh, how could this happen!?" Xiao Shi widened his eyes and wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, it seemed that no matter what he said, he might be identified as the Ruler of Consciousness. After that, he sat down obediently next to Kainuo with a look of loss on his face.

Kainuo looked at the grasshopper lying on the same sofa with him and sighed helplessly.

With the same red eyes, even Seele and the others present couldn't confirm that Xiaoshi was the original Xiaoshi. Furthermore, some people were wary of whether Xiaoshi, the Herrscher of Consciousness, was on the side of humanity.

So, do I have to show my strength to beat everyone down in order to prove my identity?

"Yes, he is definitely Kainuo, and Xiaozhi is the original Xiaozhi."

Finally, the reliable Fu Hua ended her silence, put away Yu Duchen and made the final conclusion.

As a figure with a certain degree of authority both within the Tianming Headquarters and Saint Freya, Fu Hua's words were quite convincing. Almost the moment she finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Kainuo broke the chains on his body directly, smiled at Xier who was holding a sickle to cut the chains, and threw the chains into the imaginary space.

"Come to think of it, why are you still carrying chains with you?" asked Kainuo.

"I took it off my sickle... give it back to me!" Xier pulled the chain out from the imaginary door that had not yet been completely closed, connected them together like magic, and then wrapped it around her sickle.

"I almost forgot that you can break free by yourself." Xier complained, "So why don't you just break free? You're still trying to prove your innocence."

"If I really broke free, many of you would probably attack me directly." Kainuo shrugged.

"If you can break my chains, then I'll know you're the real one." Xier snorted, "I don't know why, but that fake guy doesn't have your strength. He was knocked down in no time."

"But what if he's just acting?" Kainuo retorted, "Besides, Xi'er, you also have red eyes, so you could be a Herrscher of Knowledge."

Xier was stunned for a moment with her mouth open. After a moment, she came to her senses and glared at Kainuo without saying a word, "Don't talk back!"

"..."

Kainuo couldn't help but twitch his lips and collapsed on the sofa.

"That's right, Kainuo. What Xiaozhi said before is correct. The consciousness of the Herrscher of Consciousness is indeed in the Herrscher Core." Fu Hua said, "Feel carefully, is there a Herrscher Core in your body?"

"Herrscher Core?"

Kainuo was stunned. He stroked his right hand in front of his body, touched his chest and pressed it lightly, then took out a scarlet multi-faceted gem.

Kainuo pinched the two ends of it with his thumb and index finger, then showed it to Fu Hua, "This?"

Fu Hua stared at it, probed inside with Yu Duchen, and nodded, "Yes, that's it. The Herrscher of Consciousness's consciousness is inside—Xiao Shi, come here too. We'll just wipe him out like we did with the Herrscher of Void."

"You two are really cruel to let the Ruler of Consciousness help kill the Ruler of Consciousness." After complaining casually, Xiao Shi also came to the front of the core, used his power to aim at the core, and tried his best to make the Ruler's consciousness inside lose resistance.

"Well, I'm fine here, you two should be more decisive!"

Kainuo and Fu Hua looked at each other, and the power of erosion and Yu Duchen's power descended upon the core together.

Here, the fourth ruler of this era who knew the law was executed.

I touch it for a day

As always, I'm opening a new volume, so I'll spend a day on it (mainly because there's still a chapter asking for leave)

omo

Chapter 227 Mei, please listen to my explanation!

"Gee, did you take out a Herrscher so easily?"

Kiana stared blankly at the core floating in the air with her eyes wide open.
