"I'm fine...it's just that this Pseudo-Hermaphrodite is quite troublesome and scary." Fu Hua said after panting and standing firm.
Wang Chen looked in that direction and thought to himself, as expected, the other party's identity was just as he expected.
The one who imitates the law - Yunai.

Chapter 14: Temple of Flowers
A terrifying aura came from the front, making everyone who was looking at her feel an inexplicable pressure.
She was a girl with long gray-black hair, wearing the Chiba Academy uniform that had been torn into tatters by the vines that had grown out of her body.
The torn parts revealed the girl's bloodless white skin, and there was a big hole on her chest, but it was wrapped in layers of vines, with two white flowers blooming on the vines as embellishment.
Vines were wrapped around her arms, thighs, and waist, just like a girl who was restrained by vines and waiting for rescue. Her pitiful temperament contained a hint of seductiveness. Her dark green eyes stared at everyone with interest.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the huge white flower monster behind the girl. Wang Chen saw clearly that it was the same white flower monster he killed yesterday, except that it was bigger and looked more terrifying and hideous. The giant purple vines were raised high, ready to attack at any time.
"Sure enough, something strange has happened. Whether it's the time of appearance, the appearance after being transformed, or even the combat strength, they are all different from the pseudo-herrscher Yuno in the plot!" When Wang Chen saw the other party's appearance clearly and knew his abilities, he had already determined his identity.
Yuno, the pseudo-herrscher, was a character who was supposed to appear after the Great Collapse of Changkong City, when it was eroded by high concentrations of Honkai energy. But now, she was born before the Great Collapse and caused a small-scale Honkai by herself, and she also possessed power similar to that of a Herrscher.
In the original plot, Yuno was similar to the Herrscher in terms of the degree of corrosion and her own abilities, but her strength was not that high. However, she relied on the special nature of her abilities, sneak attacks, and the flexible use of her own power to manipulate plants and toxins, which allowed the careless Theresa to be suffocated twice in a row.
Therefore, if Theresa was the only one who lost, Wang Chen would not be surprised at all. After all, the plot was set, and Theresa was destined to suffer a big loss against the pseudo-hersrer Yuno, which would lead to the subsequent Yae Sakura possession plot...
Wait, Yaezakura is possessed? Where is Yaezakura now? Wang Chen suddenly remembered this. Theresa is about to fall to the ground, why hasn't she seen Yaezakura yet?
However, now is not the time to ask why Yaezakura did not show up. After all, the most important thing now is to deal with the Herrscher in front of us.
"Ding - Herrscher level fluctuation detected, target identified - Pseudo-Hersherrscher Yuno, new side quest started: Destroy the Flower Temple, quest conditions: rescue the students in Qianyu Academy, defeat Pseudo-Hersherrscher Yuno. Quest reward: 2800 Synchro Points, joint attack mode unlocked."
"Combined attack mode?" Wang Chen was a little confused after hearing this, and suddenly remembered that the reason why his synchronization rate was locked at 50% was because his combined attack mode and skills were not there, so it was terminated.
Does that mean that after completing this task, not only can the synchronization rate be successfully unlocked and further improved, but you can even use the so-called combined attack mode? Is it similar to a certain animation I have seen before, and can you use some combined attack skills?
Not sure, Wang Chen was too lazy to think too much. Now was the time for confrontation, and he didn't have the extra energy to think about unnecessary things.
"Are you... Yuno?" Kiana and others also came to Wang Chen and confronted each other, but Kiana recognized the other party after a closer look and said with some surprise.
"Hehehe... I was wondering who it was? It turned out to be Kiana-san." Yuno looked at Kiana who had spoken, with a dangerous arc on the corner of her mouth, and said, "I missed you very much, Kiana-san. I was still a little sad when I knew you transferred to another school and left."
"Yuno-san..." Kiana's mood was very complicated. Since she entered Senba Academy, she has helped three classmates to stop bullying. In addition to Raiden Mei, there are two of her classmates, one is Asakura Miyuki, and the other is Yuno in front of her. But one of them turned into a dead soldier, and finally shot her to death, and then her sister and brother-in-law killed her completely. The other one turned into the pseudo-herrscher in front of her, holding the lives of every student and teacher in Senba Academy in his hands.
Yes, Kiana could see that the opponent had been eroded by the Houkai and turned into a monster, so Kiana raised her gun and said, "Stop here, Yuno-san. I must defeat you here!"
“Haha… beat me? Hahahaha… hahahaha.” Yuno laughed, and then said, “That’s right, after all, you are just an accomplice. I saw the power you displayed when you killed those Honkai beasts when you came. Obviously, having power can change a lot of things…”
"But you just pretend to be incompetent! You know there are so many scumbags in the school, from teachers to classmates! They do so many cruel things! But you have never thought about changing these things!"
"Yes... you beat up those guys who bullied me, but you didn't care about anything after that. But you didn't know that after you beat them up that day, they took it out on me outside the school, calling me a cheap bitch pretending to be pitiful. They will take it out on me even more in the future."
"You think you're doing justice? Haha, the person next to you is Mei-senpai, right? I remember you, the poor wretch who was isolated and bullied by the entire academy. Not only the students, but even the teachers were targeting you. And, Kiana, after you helped her, you kept running to Mei-senpai's side, fearing that she would suffer the slightest injustice."
"And then, as your closest classmate, you turned a blind eye to it. Even though I got a few more wounds every day, even though my face was bruised and swollen, you never cared at all!!" The plant on Yuno's body began to tremble, and the entire teaching building began to shake violently.
"When I needed someone to uphold justice for me, no one ever showed up. Even you, Kiana, are the same! And now, you're going to act like a righteous person and attack me? Hahahahahahahaha! You're attacking me just for those damn scum? Stop being funny here! You self-righteous, disgusting guys!"
The entire ground shattered into pieces and turned into a huge purple vine space. At this time, everyone discovered that the entire space was filled with plants controlled by Yuno, and they had already stepped into the cage set up by the other party.
"Welcome to my flower temple! Let's die here together!" Yuno laughed wildly and waved her hand. Flowers of various colors emerged and blossomed on the vines in the room. Strange fragrance wafted out from them, mixed together, filling the whole room. At the same time, many vines shot towards Wang Chen and others.
Kiana and the others were about to dodge, but suddenly they found that their bodies were not under their control, and their vision began to become blurry. Just as the vines were about to attack their primary target, Kiana, Wang Chen appeared in front of Kiana in time and blocked the attack for her.
Chapter 15 Temporary Escape
"How are you, Xiaoqi?" After cutting the vines into ashes with a sword, Wang Chen hugged the crumbling Kiana with one hand and said.
"Brother-in-law... I feel so sick... I feel dizzy." Kiana's voice sounded very dry and weak.
"Not good! These flower scents are weird! Gas masks have no effect on them!" Wang Chen's heart sank. Since he had been using electric current to push the scent, he could clearly sense that the flower scents could penetrate the skin and directly enter the body, causing poisoning. The current situation of Kiana was the best example, and the others were not much better.
The two people who might not be affected by the poison were Wang Chen, who possessed the power of origin, and Fu Hua, who had undergone human body transformation using pre-civilization technology and possessed the body of a fusion warrior. The others were poisoned to different degrees according to their own strengths and abilities.
But Wang Chen had already judged that it was not suitable to fight for a long time here, and he had to fight quickly! But when Wang Chen was about to charge, someone grabbed his shoulder.
"Captain Wang Chen, we must lead everyone to break out immediately! We should take a long-term view! It is not advisable to continue fighting with the enemy!" Fu Hua's voice came from Wang Chen's ear.
"This is for... Forget it! Everyone who can still fight now, come with me and attack in one place! Break the vines! Let's break out together!" Wang Chen was about to ask Fu Hua why, but he thought that the battle time was fleeting. As time passed, everyone who could not resist the poison gas would quickly lose their fighting power and be at the mercy of others. Therefore, they had to make a decision immediately, to fight! Or to run!
Based on Wang Chen's understanding of Fu Hua's character, he believed in Fu Hua's judgment, so he immediately gave the order.
"Heavy Armor Small... Fire!"
"Red glow! Fire!"
"Everybody shoot together!"
First there were two artillery explosions, and Bronya and Colorless Radiance fired at the same time, attacking a selected position. Then Brownie gave an order for everyone who could use long-range attacks to open fire.
"Want to run!?" Realizing the other party's intention, Yuno jumped up and rushed towards Bronya and others who were still trying to break through the vine wall at an extremely fast speed.
"Time - stop!" At this moment, Xingmaer lay on the ground, and at the last moment before he was about to lose consciousness, he used his ability to stop time. No matter how fast Yuno was, she couldn't be faster than time. The whole space was frozen by Xingmaer's power.
"Well done, Xing." The time-stopping field was successfully deployed, allowing Wang Chen to completely break through the wall and take everyone away. Since Wang Chen's transcendent body lasts for 10 minutes and is still activated after the previous use, Wang Chen can continue to move forward during the paused time.
Wang Chen first followed the same method and put everyone into the shared treasure bag. Then he slashed with his sword at the gap that had been opened by the attacks of the crowd, successfully creating a hole large enough for one person to pass through, and then Wang Chen crawled out.
"boom!"
After breaking the glass, Wang Chen jumped down from the 6th floor teaching building. He then spread his wings of wind, summoned wind seeds and quickly fled from Qianyu Academy.
The time domain ended, and the entire sixth floor of Qianyu Academy exploded. A huge monster composed of various horrible plants let out a deafening roar. In front of the monster, Yunai was watching the quickly fleeing monster with cold eyes. He stretched out his hand and grasped it. The huge palm made of vines grew rapidly and stretched straight towards Wang Chen, wanting to grab him directly.
"Sakura—scatter!"
Suddenly, a sound like the chirping of a swallow was heard, and the vines flashed with the light of swords and knives for a few times, and then...
"Ding--!"
With another flash, the giant hand made of plants instantly dismembered, and countless cherry blossom petals floated out.
Yuno's attack was easily deflected.
"There are still enemies!" Yuno's eyes narrowed, but she did not sense any oppressive atmosphere. Then Yuno mobilized the plants that she had buried in the ground to search for the presence of a third party within the range, but after sensing a circle, she found nothing unusual.
"Hmph. You've saved your life, you disgusting ant. But... wait for me to continue absorbing this Honkai energy! When I become a true Herrscher, no matter if you're a running ant or hiding in the dark, no one can escape! Hehehe, hahahahaha." The sound of wild laughter echoed throughout the Senyu Academy. This time, the Far East Branch's crusade against the Pseudo-Hersherscher Yuno ended in failure.
……
"Damn, the mutation is too much! Being able to control plants of that scale at will, the visual impact is almost as great as the fairy wood escape technique. Is this still the pseudo-herrscher Yuno in the black and white comics who only knew how to use poison to harm others?" Wang Chen complained while flying with the Wings of Wind.
"However, that last cherry blossom...Yae Sakura finally appeared. Although I didn't see her, I only heard her voice." Wang Chen recalled the sword shadow that was like a dimensional slash, and thought to himself.
"Captain, why are you here?" A flash of lightning appeared, and Wang Chen only felt that the direction of his body had changed. Then Wang Chen found that he was being held in someone's arms like a princess...
"That [Mei]... I'm fine, there's no need to hold me like this." Wang Chen said helplessly, looking at the person who was holding him, that is, [Raiden Mei].
……
[Raiden Mei] and Wang Chen landed on a temporarily safe rooftop. Wang Chen opened the treasure bag and poured everyone out. Except for Fu Hua, no one was able to stand up. They were all poisoned and were either in great pain or unconscious.
"The magnetic field rotates! The cells are reorganized!" Fortunately, because of the existence of [Raiden Mei], each of them uses the cell reorganization healing punch to force out all the toxins.
"Cough! Cough! Ugh!" Theresa got up and retched for a while. She stood up weakly. Fu Hua quickly stepped forward and helped her up. She said, "Principal, you should lie down and rest first."
"Thank you... But I'm fine. After removing the poison, I will be able to recover quickly. But now, we must quickly find a way to get rid of that pseudo-herrscher... and rescue those children." Theresa said with a worried look on her face.
"Those children were rescued? Are they the students from Qianyu Academy?" Wang Chen asked.
"Well, this is also the reason why I suggested to Captain Wang Chen to evacuate immediately. In fact, when I, Teacher Ji Zi, and the principal led the team into the teaching building as soon as possible, we saw the Pseudo-Herrscher on the fifth floor. We quickly launched an attack on the opponent." Fu Hua said.
"In fact, with our cooperation, we had successfully injured the opponent, but who knew that the opponent would recover so quickly. Later, we learned from her words that she wrapped up all the students of Qianyu Academy with special methods to prevent them from being eroded by the collapse while providing them with vitality to recover from their injuries. If we attack and hurt the opponent, it would be equivalent to wiping out the students of Changkong City who were captured by her." Fu Hua said.
Chapter 16 Final Plan and Three Questions
"Is that so? Those students are equivalent to being held hostage by the other party. It makes it difficult for us to hurt her easily. I see."
Wang Chen finally understood why Fu Hua had stopped him before. If he rashly wanted to deal with the other party quickly, he would probably fall into the other party's trap.
You know, for a Pseudo-Hermender under the effect of life sharing, if you can't kill with one strike, not only will you not be able to defeat the opponent in a short time, you will even indirectly consume the vitality of those ordinary students, leading to their death.
"What a despicable method, using other people's lives as a bondage. Yuno-san has been completely corrupted by filth and her mind has fallen into the evil path! Aibo, we must stop her! We must rescue all the students."
After hearing the conversation between Wang Chen, Fu Hua and Theresa, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple climbed up and spoke firmly, even though he had just recovered from the poisoning and was still a little weak.
"Jiuxiao is right. We must stop the other side and rescue those children. We cannot cause more sacrifices." Theresa said seriously.
"Ahem... Theresa."
There was a cough, and Theresa turned and ran quickly in the direction of the sound, saying: "Jizi, how are you?"
"As you can see, it's not too bad." The man in front of Jizi stood up. His pale face had regained some color. Jizi pondered for a while, as if he had made a decision, and said, "Theresa, before you decide on a rescue plan, we must first determine a final execution plan."
"The final execution plan?"
"We have to move the Hyperion over here and activate my fusion suit and nexus system..."
"No!" Theresa refused directly and sternly, "Jizi, the problem of the stigmata on your body has been solved with great difficulty. You can live a few more years and enjoy your life. But if you continue to use the Nexus system! You will die!"
"Theresa... you should know better than me that the opponent is second only to the Herrscher, and the strength he has shown says it all. Facing such an enemy, we must do everything we can and use all the cards we can to deal with him." Ji Zi took a deep breath, adjusted her physical condition, and said.
"And you heard it too. This is just the final plan out of helplessness. You should know that after the Nexus system is activated, combined with the power of the Hyperion main gun, it is enough to raze the entire campus to the ground, or even more powerful!" Ji Zi said slowly.
"That is to say, once the final plan is launched, not only the Herrscher, but also those students we failed to rescue... will all be destroyed. You should know what this means, Theresa."
"Does it have to be this way, Himeko?"
"Theresa, the other party is constantly evolving and absorbing Honkai energy. The longer the time is delayed, the more dangerous it will be. If it is not resolved in time, it is very likely that the other party will become a true Herrscher and then evolve and explode into a true Great Honkai. By that time, more than just this small area will be destroyed."
"I know your ambitions and ideals, Theresa, so leave this evil thing to me, an old woman with not much time left." After saying this, Jizi looked at Theresa, who looked bitter and at a loss, and smiled faintly. Then, she put her hands on Theresa's shoulders and said:
"It's okay, Theresa. Didn't I tell you? This is just the final plan. Before that, we still have time to find a way to rescue those children."
"Um……"
"Well, everyone, I will lead the members of the Far East Branch to retreat first, and then I will drive the Hyperion over. During this period of time, it all depends on you. Captain Wang Chen, Principal Theresa. Everything here is up to you." Ji Zi said.
"Ji Zi, take care." Wang Chen and others watched Ji Zi support other team members and lead everyone away.
Wang Chen was not surprised by Ji Zi's decision, because it was the most correct outcome that could be achieved at the moment. Choose the lesser of two evils.
"Well, let's work together to find a solution to the current situation... and see if there is any other way to save those students." Wang Chen said.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, but no good conclusion could be reached.
"If we want to save those students, we have to solve three problems. The first problem is where are those students distributed. We saw the students who were included in the plant cocoons in the teaching building before. I counted them and they are far from the number of students that Qianyu Academy should have. There should be other students who are hidden by the other party. Therefore, we must find those students."
Brownie was the first to break the silence and give everyone direction for thinking.
"The second question is, after we find the students and are about to peel off the special plant layer, how can we ensure that the students are not corroded by Honkai energy? You know, the entire Qianyu Academy is now in a high-concentration Honkai energy environment. If someone who is not resistant to Honkai energy is exposed to this environment, they will be reduced to ashes in an instant."
"The last question is, even if we solve the first two problems, if we want to save those students, the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite will never stand idly by. Especially since she can sense the plants she controls and monitor every hostage in her hands. It would be difficult to rescue those people without anyone noticing. If we anger her, she will probably kill some of the students first to warn us."
After Brownie finished speaking, he stopped talking. Although everyone found a direction to think about from Brownie's words, they were somewhat helpless in solving these three problems.
"As for the second problem, Scarlet and I can barely solve it with our abilities." Wang Chen said slowly, "But Scarlet must cooperate with other members of the Far East Branch to intercept and eliminate the Honkai beasts in this area. In fact, the one who is best at solving this problem is [Kiana]. But [Kiana] must currently use all her strength to fight against the further spread of Honkai energy."
"If I could have the same power as my sister... No, or if I had paid attention earlier..." Kiana's voice gradually faded away. It seemed that Yuno's words before had dealt a great blow to Kiana.
"Hmm!" There was a reassuring feeling of caressing on her head, and Kiana's still emotionally unstable heart was soothed and slowly calmed down.
"Don't look at what you haven't done, but look at what you have done." Wang Chen stroked Kiana's head, and then looked in a certain direction. Kiana followed Wang Chen's gaze and saw that in that direction, Mei Raiden was discussing with Jiuxiao Penglai Temple how to solve the problem. Faced with Jiuxiao Penglai Temple's wild ideas, Mei Raiden was a little helpless, but still gave corrections and persuasion.
Suddenly, Mei seemed to have noticed something. She turned around and saw Kiana and Wang Chen staring at her. She smiled knowingly. Although she didn't know why the two were staring at her, she thought that if she could smile, it would be able to encourage them... After all, everyone was worried and uncomfortable about this matter. Mei hoped to share everyone's pain. After all, it was because everyone helped her before and shared Mei's pain that Mei did not become like Yuno now.
Mei clearly realized that if she hadn't had everyone around her, she would have become like Yuno, a monster controlled by Honkai, a true Herrscher who brought disaster.
Seeing Mei's smile, Kiana seemed to understand. She did not notice the tragedy that happened to Yuno, but she successfully prevented the birth of another monster. Together with everyone else, she changed Mei's fate and allowed her to smile brightly like now.
Chapter 17 Dr. Mei
"So, don't be so hard on yourself, Xiaoqi. You have already taken action for it, haven't you? I believe that the justice in your heart, Xiaoqi, is not false. But don't let this shake your beliefs, and continue to practice them firmly." Seeing that Kiana seemed to understand, Wang Chen also spoke words of comfort and encouragement.
"Well... I understand. Thank you, brother-in-law." The gloom on Kiana's face dissipated, and she became re-determined in her approach.
"Ding - System upgrade, Kiana's favorability has increased, the current favorability is: 3 stars (1477/6720) (Trust)." The system prompt sounded.
