A journey into an infinite dimension

"so?"

Before Jia Ye could say anything, Ge Jiuye glanced at the girl with contempt.

"But you're special, and you don't know who I am, so I won't do anything to you."

After calming down the long-lost emotions in her heart, the girl gave Ge Jiuye a contemptuous look and spoke to Jiaye calmly.

"As for your proposal, it's fine, but the promise is the third reward, and this promise is not subject to any conditions."

However, she didn't know that her words made Jia Ye confirm his guess.

Because I am Ge Jiuye’s other half, I am special. It is indeed true.

But she could actually agree to such a condition. It seems that she really likes Ge Jiuye.

Feeling that he had discovered the truth, Jia Ye did not make it public, nor did he plan to assist. Instead, he decided to be a qualified audience, just watching the show without participating.

"Then I'll join."

After looking at Ge Jiuye and getting her look that said "I'll listen to you", Jiaye nodded in agreement.

Since time is almost still on Hong and the others' side, he doesn't need to rush back.

He did have some sympathy for Xilin, so he didn't mind helping her to the best of his ability.

Of course, this is based on the assumption that there is no punishment in the game. After all, he is not the kind of person who can sacrifice himself for others.

Alas, Jia Ye is really tsundere.

Although he was not in the conscious world, his connection with Jiaye did not disappear, so Ge ​​Jiuye could still sense his thoughts.

In response, she simply shrugged and sighed as usual.

"Okay, then you can choose between the Authority of the Herrscher and the Divine Key. By the way, the Divine Key you'll be given is unique and won't conflict with any existing Divine Keys in this world. Those already present in the Herrscher Core won't appear in your selection."

The girl lightly pointed her finger, and suddenly, the Herrscher Core and the Key of God that were floating in the air came in front of Jiaye, and arranged in a circle and slowly rotated around him.

"This, and this."

After reading the authority and ability of each Herrscher Core and God's Key, Jiaye thought for a moment and picked out two of them.

"Oh, it seems like an interesting combination."

The girl nodded with a hint of admiration, waved her hand and put away the other cores and divine keys, leaving only the two chosen by Jiaye, and let the core merge into Jiaye's body.

"You know the effect of this Divine Key. If you need it, I can give you some initial abilities."

"....cost?"

Feeling the power and knowledge that the Herrscher Core brought him, Jiaye asked.

The game had already begun from the moment he agreed, and he knew it. He also knew that the moment the game started, the girl in front of him was his opponent, and if the opponent was going to give him something without cheating, it certainly could not be free.

"Call me Nee-chan."

The girl said with a beautiful smile on her lips.

impossible!

The first thing that came to Jia Ye’s mind was these three words.

He had never called anyone "sister" in his life. Even if it was Zero, he selectively treated her as his sister, although she also treated him as her brother.

But that’s not the point. The point is that he will never call anyone “sister”, no matter why, he just won’t call her that!

'My sister is an incomparably terrifying and dangerous creature'————This is an ironclad belief engraved deep in Jiaye's soul.

However, in reality, he found it unbelievable that he was actually shaken.

Move! Shake!

This is impossible! There is absolutely no way he would be shaken. This must be fake!

Sensing Jia Ye's inner thoughts, Ge Jiuye, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion.

Wasn't it just that when I was a child, a girl from a separate family hugged me and abused me, and I almost suffocated. This kind of thing won't happen again now, so I shouldn't be so scared, right?

But it’s better this way, this woman is not qualified to be our sister.

However, just as Ge Jiuye had finished this thought, the girl seemed to see Jiaye's hesitation and added another sentence.

“You can also call me Onē-san (お姉さん/Onē-san/欧内桑).”

"...O...ne...ne————"

After hesitating for a while, Jia Ye finally spoke with great difficulty.

If it was this more distant name, he could barely call it out.

In fact, he could have chosen to refuse directly, but this was related to the difficulty of his next start in the game. In addition, just shouting out would not harm any of his interests and was completely in line with his values. However, due to his psychological shadow, this simple condition that was easy for ordinary people to say was a big challenge for him.

"......san......"

With Ge Jiuye holding his forehead helplessly and the girl looking at him expectantly, Jia Ye finally said the last word.

....Forget it. Anyway, considering their age, she was taken advantage of by Jiaye calling her sister. Besides, it was just a way of addressing passers-by, so it was barely acceptable.

Ge Jiuye thought helplessly.

Even though it's a distant name, I still call her 'sister' after all. There's still a long time to go, so let's take it slow.

The smile on the girl's lips gradually became more joyful and unbridled.

It seems... not that scary?

Feeling that his psychological trauma seemed to have recovered, Jiaye silently called out "Ane-chan" to Kakuye in his heart, and then he felt a shudder before the first sound was uttered.

"The agreement is done."

Jiaye said to the girl with a sullen face.

"I have added the power of five God Keys to you."

As the girl finished speaking, the divine key floating in front of Jiaye lit up in five colors: red and white, black and white, red and black, golden yellow, and scarlet red.

"You are the sole heir to a world-class consortium in the Far East. Your parents are deceased. While traveling in Siberia, you were accidentally caught up in the Second Honkai Impact and awakened to become a Herrscher."

"I will help you correct the impact you caused before the second collapse. At the same time, Sirin's progress in becoming a Herrscher will be halted until the game is decided."

"Well, good luck to you."

The pure white space suddenly collapsed, the girl's figure disappeared, and was replaced by a dazzling galaxy and Xilin in front of him.

Chapter 66: Jiaye's Thirty-Six Strategies for Dealing with Naughty Kids

"Jiaye, you...are indeed a Herrscher, right?"

Slowly landing in front of Jiaye, Xilin asked with a complicated expression.

"I can feel the same aura in you as mine."

Xilin's mood was indeed very complicated at this time.

On the one hand, she was happy that Jiaye was not a human being, so she would not have to kill him with her own hands in the future; on the other hand, she was a little angry because Jiaye concealed his identity from her.

If she had not obtained some of the power of the gods and had not made a remarkable improvement in her perception, how long would she have been kept in the dark by him?

"I didn't say I was human, did I?"

In a moment, he came back to his senses from the sudden change of scene. Hearing Xilin's words, Jiaye reached out and pressed Xilin's head, which was almost as high as his chin, and said calmly.

"That being said..."

Perhaps because the progress of her transformation into a Herrscher had stopped, Xilin seemed to have turned back into the way she was when Jiaye first saw her.

"Also, don't press my head. Mom said it'll keep me from growing taller!"

Slapping Jiaye's hand away, Xilin bared her teeth and looked at him fiercely, looking as cute as a kitten with its fur standing on end.

"Strictly speaking, the Herrscher's body will be frozen in the state it was in upon awakening, and there is no possibility of growth."

Jia Ye withdrew his hand nonchalantly and stated an extremely cruel fact.

"Hey, long-winded!"

Upon hearing this, Xilin immediately became angry and wanted to step on Jiaye's foot, but he easily avoided her.

She knew this, of course, but was there anything wrong with a girl having a few dreams? Even if it was impossible to achieve, it was fine as long as it was just a dream. Why did you have to destroy other people's dreams?

"Of course, this hasn't been confirmed yet, so it's possible it will continue to grow, but with a small probability."

Looking at Xilin's changing expression, Jiaye put his feet back on the ground, feeling a little happier. He said that because of you, he was forced to face the psychological trauma of his childhood, so it should not be excessive to take back some interest now.

"By the way, the surrounding pillars all record various knowledge from previous civilizations. You can take a look. They also include how to apply power."

However, teasing should be kept within limits, and Jia Ye understood this clearly, so he pointed to the stone pillars standing around the altar and lightly changed the subject.

"I reject!"

Hearing this, Xilin's expression changed immediately.

I swear in the name of the Second Herrscher that I, Xilin, will never learn!

"Combining the above knowledge, I have thought of a method that can help Benares gain thinking ability and wisdom. Do you want to learn it?"

Jia Ye had anticipated this happening. After all, he had taught Xilin for a period of time and knew how much she resisted learning. However, this was just a common problem among children, and it could be solved by simply using methods that appealed to their preferences and guiding them step by step.

What Xilin cares about most at the moment, besides revenge on humans, is Benares, her companion Honkai beast.

It can be said that Benares is like a family member in her heart, but because he is a Honkai beast, although Benares has powerful strength, he has the same thinking as a beast.

Its only two thoughts are to be loyal to Sirin and to destroy all humans. The former is because Sirin is its master, and the latter is the instinct of Honkai Beast.

If Sirin had become a complete Herrscher, she would not care whether Benares possessed wisdom or not. However, Sirin was not completely transformed into a Herrscher yet. She still had the sensibilities of her human days, and she was lonely inside. Naturally, if she could help Benares gain wisdom equal to or even surpassing that of humans, she would definitely try her best to do so.

After all, Benares was her only bond in this world.

"Goo..."

Xilin, who had just sworn an oath in her heart, suddenly choked.

It was just as Jiaye thought, she valued Benares very much, so when faced with the temptation of the devil (Jiaye) at this moment, she found that she hesitated shamefully.

"You don't need to learn everything. Just learning that part is enough. Besides, haven't you seen the power of knowledge? Using human knowledge to destroy humanity, wouldn't that make you even happier?"

With a calm smile in his heart, Jia Ye continued to guide Xilin's thoughts.

It feels very pleasant to make a child who hates studying voluntarily accept teaching with a sad face.

[I always feel like, Jiaye, you seem broken.]

After returning to the world of consciousness and re-entering the state of watching a show, Ge Jiuye couldn't help but say with shame.

Is it so mentally damaging to be forced to confront psychological trauma?

[Hmm? I don't understand what you're saying.]

Looking at Jia Ye who pretended to be confused, Ge Jiuye curled the corners of his mouth.

【Okay, as long as you are happy.】

"I studied!"

With a tragic expression of "the wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold, the hero will never return once he leaves", Xilin nodded slowly and heavily.

Humans, just wait!

Having completely convinced herself that she had ended up like this because humans had invented that knowledge, Xilin glanced in the direction of the earth and thought viciously in her heart.

......

......

Two days later, Earth - Siberian snowfield.

"This way, all the Honkai beasts have finally been eliminated."

Countless gravity rays were released from the Star of Eden in his hand, instantly piercing and tearing apart the many Honkai beasts below. Walter Yang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes and looked at the battlefield belonging to Tianming not far away. After confirming that they had also ended the battle, he slowly landed on the ground from the air.

As soon as he landed, he staggered.

"Are you okay?"

Tesla, who had come to his side, immediately supported him and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's just that the consumption is a little high."
