A journey into an infinite dimension

The figure reflected in the water seemed to have noticed something and turned to look outside the lake. However, from his perspective, all he saw was a lonely blooming cherry tree and the endless and lonely deep void.

"..."

......

......

Dang! !

One big and one small, two identical swords of destruction collided heavily with each other, and then red and white flames rose up at the same time, and a confrontation began on the contact surface of the swords, as if to completely devour and tear each other apart.

Ding! Ding ding ding ding ding!!!

The two alien-shaped swords turned into afterimages as their respective users swung them, and the sound of metal clashing rose and fell continuously. Before one sound ended, countless sounds followed, and waves of strong shock waves continued to hit everything around.

The earth cracked, buildings shattered, rivers evaporated, and bridges collapsed. In the center of this natural disaster-like scene, two figures were fighting at a high speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

"..."

Without a word, the silver-haired puppet used his three-head height to avoid the flames that turned into arrows. He waved his hand and summoned countless low-temperature ice to form a huge wave that rolled towards the girl in front of him. At the same time, he stomped on the ice under his feet and quickly retreated.

The next moment, a tornado of fire broke through the ice waves and landed on the original position of the doll. The hot air waves raised the temperature that had been lowered by the appearance of ice.

The puppet, whose figure was still in mid-air, moved his eyes slightly, and immediately condensed a thick ice wall in front of him, while holding the small Jiemie in his hand in front of him.

At the same moment, the incarnation of Jiemie rushed forward and stabbed into the ice wall fiercely. Then, as the flames on the sword surged, cracks quickly spread and expanded on the ice wall. In less than half a second, it penetrated the ice wall and hit the small Jiemie heavily.

boom! !

The impact spread visibly, and the figure of the puppet suddenly turned into an afterimage and crashed heavily into the asphalt ground, stirring up countless gravel and making the already broken ground completely unrecoverable.

Her figure landed lightly on the ground, holding the great sword of destruction in her hand, which seemed extremely incompatible with her petite figure. Kaguya slowly walked to the place where the puppet had just fallen, then reached out and pulled out the puppet from the pit, which had lost its combat ability and was holding the hilt of the small sword of destruction in its hand.

"An interesting creation. Does it have the ability to carry the user's power in the form of a percentage? Perhaps it can be used to house a core and create a legion."

Whispering softly to herself, Kaguya opened a pure white space door beside her and put the doll inside, preparing to go back and study it slowly later.

"Master, thank you for your hard work."

Jörmungandr walked quickly forward and handed a hot towel that she had taken out from somewhere to Kaguya. She was like a truly trained professional maid, with familiarity and perfect etiquette that made it impossible to find fault with her.

"...So, maid outfits aren't your hobby?"

Kaguya took the hot towel with a strange expression.

Although Ruzuki's family has many maids, she hasn't been served like this for a long time.

Basically, I only experienced this when I was a child, before I left home to study at the Clock Tower.

"Of course, Jörmungandr is the master's personal maid. How could I be a half-witted maid and embarrass the master?"

Jörmungandr said as if it was a matter of course.

"Although humans have a lot of etiquette to serve, Jörmungandr learned it all in just three days."

"Thank you for your hard work. Jörmungandr is really powerful."

Looking at Jörmungandr who was looking at her expectantly, Kaguya understood what she meant and reached out to gently touch her head, praising her softly.

"Hehe, because Jörmungandr is the other half of the master."

Squinting his eyes and enjoying Kaguya's tenderness, Jörmungandr smiled happily.

If her true form was a dog-shaped Honkai Beast, her tail would probably be shaking like an electric fan by now.

[If you truly learn everything, then you might also learn the special nighttime services.]

Ge Jiuye, who was lurking in her consciousness, suddenly came online and said something that made Kaguya's mouth twitch slightly.

[Shouldn't it be...?]

"Really? What criteria do you use to judge this?"

As if he found Kaguya's reaction particularly amusing, Kaguya smiled wickedly and continued to shatter her hopes step by step.

"Don't think it's impossible just because it hasn't happened. Kaguya-chan, think about it. Has the way Jörmungandr looks at you these past few days been different from before?"

【...】

Although her mind told her that Ge Jiuye was just teasing her, after hearing her words, Kaguya couldn't help but think about Jörmungandr's behavior in the past few days.

Then she realized that it seemed... as if... probably... should... might really be true.

...Forget it, I don’t know anything.

Her eyelids twitched, and Kaguya resolutely chose to play dumb, and secretly decided that she would never immerse her mind in the world of consciousness every night thereafter.

[Oh, that's not right. Just concentrate on accompanying me! ]

After noticing Kaguya's thoughts, Ge Jiuye, who felt that he had made a mistake, immediately wanted to make up for the pit he had dug.

"You can only spend the whole day with me at night, and if you're still unwilling to focus on me, I'm really pathetic, Kaguya-chan, you're such a heartless person!"

However, before she could finish her complaint, the situation in reality suddenly changed, as if to punish her for teasing Kaguya.

Under the gazes of Kaguya and Jörmungandr, as the space in front of the gigantic locomotive, the Second Divine Key, Senkai Ichijou, began to fluctuate, a silver-haired man with a temperament as gentle as jade appeared in the void.

Su frowned slightly. Only after returning to this world did he realize that the Herrscher in front of him was completely different from the Herrschers they had encountered in the past.

This difference is the difference in aura and the difference in temperament brought about by personality.

The Herrschers they had met in the past were basically like madmen. No matter how powerful and excellent warriors they were before becoming Herrschers, after becoming Herrschers, they would become like a different person. Although their wisdom and rationality still existed, their personalities would become extremely arrogant and conceited.

To put it in a slightly rude way, it's no different from becoming a psychopath.

However, the Herrscher in front of him was different. Su could see that she was a calm and rational person, and she did not show any of the arrogance and superiority that were always characteristic of Herrschers.

We are not afraid of the enemy being strong, but we are afraid of the enemy being stable enough.

In addition, Su was just a spiritual perception fusion warrior who was 'not good at fighting', so the pressure he felt at the moment was a little bit great.

"The aura around you is different from that of ordinary people."

Looking at Su, a trace of thought flashed in Kaguya's eyes, and she spoke softly.

Although she was surprised by this sudden change, she was not too shocked.

Because she had never fully believed the information she found in the World Serpent's database from the beginning, even though none of the information had been wrong so far.

"There's a slight aura of Honkai Beasts, plus you emerged from the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, so you're also one of the survivors of the previous civilization."

This is the most likely guess Kaguya came up with after combining all factors and intelligence.

After all, if the World Serpent's information was correct, the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle had been sealed thousands of years ago, and the sealer was said to be their Lord. However, judging from other information from various sources, there were some subtle contradictions in this information.

In addition, the World Serpent was still active 1,500 years ago, but suddenly began to lie dormant 1,500 years ago. The Thousand Worlds One Vehicle was probably sealed at that time, and the Lord of the World Serpent was also sealed in the Quantum Sea at that time. Therefore, after a little imagination, Kaguya came to a conclusion.

"This is just my guess. The Lord of the World Serpent, Kevin Kaslana, was sealed by you, right?"

"!"

His pupils shrank slightly. Su had never thought that he would hear the name of his best friend from someone from this era, and a Herrscher at that.

And there was that familiar name——

"Has the World Serpent been destroyed by you?"

Chapter 83 [The End]

"Indirectly admitted it?"

Kaguya nodded slightly, then shook her head.

"The World Serpent is not my target."

Then she put away the incarnation in her hand, Jiemie, and took out the second sub-body, the Key of Transformation, and gently crushed the sub-body that was changing.

"?!"

Su, who was originally relieved but also puzzled by hearing Kaguya's words, suddenly sensed an invisible mental force trying to invade his spiritual realm. Regardless of the fact that the application method of this mental force seemed somewhat familiar, almost instinctively, he immediately mobilized the power of the Honkai beast that had been integrated into his genes to expel this mental force.

"Yu Duchen's ability was resisted? Do you also have psychic abilities?"

Seeing a pure white feather floating down from the void suddenly shattered, a hint of surprise flashed in Kaguya's eyes.

"Not only the Skyfire, but also Yu Duchen is in your hands?"

However, Su was the one who was truly surprised. The Key of God, which was created to fight against the Honkai, was being used by the apostles of the Honkai. How did humans in this era survive to this day?

"No, the aura isn't pure, and the power is different. Is it the ability of the Void Manifestation or the Ruler of Reason?"

However, the information fed back from his perception made him reject his own guess.

"more or less."

Nodding but not denying, Kaguya suddenly changed the subject and looked at Su and asked.

"Since Yu Duchen is ineffective, I can only ask directly. Can I take up a moment of your time?"

Originally, she planned to obtain the information she wanted in the easiest and most labor-saving way. After all, it was rare to meet a survivor of a previous civilization that was not planned. As a herdsman, the other party might not necessarily cooperate with her. However, some of her questions could only be answered by Su, or the survivor of the previous civilization.

But since Yu Duchen couldn't do anything, she could only choose to use the most primitive method to get the answer.

"I don't think I have anything to answer you, but since you want to ask, could you please move to my world and talk?"

Su didn't seem to be angry at Kaguya's rude behavior of trying to use mind control on him as soon as they met. His aura was still so calm and gentle.

In addition, except for the fact that he had his eyes open when he first appeared, he now closed his eyes again. Therefore, for some unknown reason, Kaguya could always feel a strange sense of déjà vu from him.

"Isn't it just like you before, when you couldn't close your Mystic Eyes?"

Kaguya suddenly understood what was going on after Ge Jiuye's reminder.

With both of us having our eyes closed and similar temperaments, I really do look a bit like this survivor of the previous civilization in front of me.

Of course, they are just similar in temperament.

"Okay, give me the coordinates."

When her consciousness returned to reality, Kaguya did not hesitate and immediately agreed to Su's proposal.

"Master, this could be a trap."

Standing calmly side by side with Kaguya, Jörmungandr reminded in a low voice.

Although she trusted her master's strength and wisdom, it did not mean that she would watch her fall into someone else's trap.

"Don't worry, I'm ready for it."

Kaguya whispered.

Caution has always been her character. Maybe she had been arrogant a few times before, but each time she was suppressed before she could suffer a setback. So even though she thinks her strength far exceeds Su's, she will not easily underestimate the enemy.

"Jörmungandr wants to go in too."

Jörmungandr spoke in a rare firm tone.

Trust is trust, but there is still worry. After all, the person opposite said "go to his world". The knowledge that Jörmungandr gained when he woke up included some information about the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Quantum Sea. Therefore, she knew that if Kaguya was exiled to other parallel worlds, it would be difficult for her to return to this world.

Although she didn't know whether the other party could do this, the Second God's Key related to this power was in the other party's hands after all, so she would rather overestimate the other party's ability than let Kaguya take the risk alone.

At least, if the worst really happened, she would be able to provide some help to Kaguya.

"I didn't plan on not taking you."

With these words, the discussion ended. Kaguya reached out and took a leaf that was slowly floating from Su's direction. Then, based on the information stored inside, she opened a pure white space door in front of Su, herself, and Jörmungandr respectively.

The power of the Herrscher of the Void?

With a slight thought in his mind, Su was no longer worried that Kaguya would trick him, so he boldly stepped into the space door that she had opened for him, which led to the world bubble he had prepared.

Kaguya and Jörmungandr also passed through the space gate at the same time, and what came into their eyes was a mysterious and extraordinary tree.

"Welcome to the world bubble I created—'Sumeru Mustard Seed'."

Landing gently in front of the tree, Su spoke softly to the two of them.

"My name is SU. As Ms. Herrscher said, I am one of the survivors of the previous civilization. Is there anything you want to ask me, Ms. Herrscher?"

If fighting could be avoided, he would naturally be happy. Moreover, judging from the fact that although the city was reduced to ruins due to the previous battle, no one died, he more or less hoped that the Herrscher girl in front of him still had a trace of human conscience.

But he was not naive, so he was ready to use the power of Thousand Worlds One to seal this world bubble, and just like when he sealed his best friend, he would sink the entire world bubble along with them to the bottom of the quantum sea, or pull his best friend back from the sea of ​​nothingness.

"How much do you know about the Herrscher of the End?"

However, Su had imagined countless questions that Kaguya might ask, because he had guessed that Kaguya's source of information was the World Serpent. He knew something about this organization because it was founded by one of their companions, and his best friend was the leader of this force, so it was normal for them to have information about the previous civilization.
