"...Jiu...Jiuxiao!" The last moment that Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple was conscious was the voice of Wang Chen, who was shocked and angry.

"Ten thousand changes: one person with a thousand faces!" Wang Chen's body and appearance changed, and he once again became the Herrscher of Consciousness. Wang Chen hugged Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, and then a black and red sword shadow appeared in his hand, cutting down, and a thin line that could not be observed with the eyes was cut.

Then black feathers floated out from Wang Chen's side, passed through the glass cover, and landed on the forehead of the female student. The female student's open eyes closed again.

"What's going on, Captain?" At this moment, Theresa immediately deployed Judas, with all the chains aimed at every student in the glass cover, and then asked hurriedly.

"At first, when I saw Jiuxiao suddenly fainted and the female student opened her eyes, I thought it was an attack on the consciousness level. That's why I became like this. However, it is also because of this appearance that I can see clearly that this is not an attack on the consciousness level, but an attack on the imaginary number side." Wang Chen said, holding the unconscious Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple.

"What do you mean?" Theresa asked in confusion.

"If we make an analogy with space, the attack from the imaginary side is like an attack from another spatial dimension, so it cannot be observed with our naked eyes. It can only be felt by using Honkai energy or similar power. In short, to put it simply, the Thousand Herrscher just launched an attack on Jiuxiao." Wang Chen said.

"How could this be... wait, if we use Honkai energy to sense... why are there so many thin lines on these guys' bodies!" Theresa followed Wang Chen's words. After using Honkai energy to feedback information from the outside world, Theresa immediately noticed that many thin lines appeared on the heart positions of those students.

"Sure enough, this is the work of Qianlu." Wang Chen was very familiar with these thin lines. They were the products that only Qianlushou possessed. When he looked at Jiuxiao again, a silk thread also appeared on her body, but that silk thread was cut off by Wang Chen.

"How is Jiuxiao now?" Theresa obviously noticed the fine line on Jiuxiao's body and asked hurriedly.

“Although I cut the thread and prevented Jiuxiao’s body from being further transformed, her consciousness has been taken away and is no longer in this body.” Wang Chen clenched his fists and said, “It should be the same for those students. Cutting the thread only blocks the transformation of the body. But if the soul is corrupted, once the soul returns to the body, it will only take a moment to transform into a Herrscher of the Thousand.”

"How could it be...that Jiuxiao..." Theresa said in surprise.

"Principal, you wait here for Kiana, Scarlet and the others to come over, and at the same time prevent any abnormalities from happening here. I will use the power of consciousness to follow these threads first." Wang Chen said.

“No! This is most likely a trap set by the Herrscher!” Theresa immediately stopped him, “Jiuxiao has been dragged in. If you, Captain, go in as well, we will be completely passive in the face of unknown situations! Let’s wait for Kiana and the others to arrive, and then we can work together to find a solution!”

"I know a thing or two about the situation of the Thousand Herrscher, and I am confident that I can protect myself." Wang Chen said, "If we want to completely eliminate the Thousand Herrscher in one go, we must enter His home theater. In other words, whether Kiana and the others come or not, this is something that must be done, and it was determined from the beginning."

"Time at the conscious level is different from that in the outside world. Perhaps a long time passes in just one second. I must race against time to get in and protect Jiuxiao. Theresa, take this." Wang Chen took out a feather and handed it to Theresa.

"What is this?" Theresa asked puzzledly.

"Theresa, call squad leader Fu Hua over. She will know what to do. Don't worry, I won't just rush in without leaving any backup. Otherwise, even if I find Jiuxiao, it will be useless if I can't bring him back, right?" After Wang Chen finished speaking, many black feathers floated out of his body, followed the silk threads and began to fly somewhere before disappearing.

"Theresa, I will go in then. I'll leave the things outside to you. Please make sure to protect everyone's bodies." After Wang Chen finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and his consciousness followed the black feathers, tracing the source of the silk thread and entering into the deep space.

"Captain! Damn it... Fu Hua, are you still in the Far East Branch area? Put those documents aside first! There is an emergency in the isolation room and we need immediate support." Theresa turned on the communication and informed Fu Hua. Then, Theresa contacted Kiana and Mei in succession to inform them of the situation.

"Everything must be safe, Captain." Theresa's eyes flashed with anxiety, but for now she could only obey Wang Chen's arrangements and began to concentrate, using Judas' power to monitor every change in the surrounding space to prevent the occurrence of abnormalities again.

Chapter 71: The Letter Brought by Yaezakura

"How is it, Fu Hua? What kind of backup plan did Captain Wang Chen leave behind?" Theresa asked anxiously as she looked at Fu Hua who had rushed over.

"Just like Yuno's previous incident, Captain Wang Chen left behind the coordinates of his consciousness that can return to the real space. As long as someone with the same ability masters this coordinate, they can sense Captain Wang Chen's situation and pull Captain Wang Chen back in time." Fu Hua activated the feather in her hand, and a phantom appeared in Fu Hua's hand. It was Wang Chen who had transformed into the appearance of the Herrscher of Consciousness. He was heading towards the end of the puppet's silk thread, which was the direction of the theater.

"That's good... As long as there is a way to retreat, we can still pull the captain back in time." Theresa looked at Wang Chen who was not in any situation for the time being, let out a breath, and said.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Fu Hua's expression changed suddenly, and she shouted quickly, "Captain Wang Chen! Come back quickly!"

Fu Hua was about to use her strength to pull Wang Chen back, but a more powerful force blocked Fu Hua's consciousness from penetrating. The phantom in Fu Hua's hand also collapsed, and a strange purple-black energy suddenly appeared in the black feathers. This energy even tried to devour Fu Hua's palm in reverse.

"drink!"

The golden light spear instantly pierced the alienated purple feather, destroying it. Theresa hurried to Fu Hua and said, "Fu Hua, how are you!"

Fu Hua pressed her head, slowing down the backlash of consciousness that had just appeared, and finally said: "Principal, urge everyone to come here immediately. Captain Wang Chen's retreat... has been cut off by the new power."

"The enemy... may not be just the Herrscher of the Thousand."

……

"That's roughly the situation." After seeing Kiana, Mei Raiden, Dr. Mei, Himeko, Aisha, Colorless Kaguya and others all arrived at the isolation room, Theresa told everyone with some heaviness what had just happened.

"After the Pseudo-Herrser, is there now a real Herrser? Didn't we say before that that person... could be the source of the collapse of Changkong City? Why does a new Herrser appear now?" asked Colorless Huihuo.

"The birth of Honkai and Herrscher cannot be inferred by common sense and experience." Dr. Mei rolled her glasses, then checked Wang Chen's condition and said, "It is meaningless to discuss these. The first priority right now is to bring the captain and the others back."

"The power of Scarlet and I can only ensure that the bodies of these students will not be corroded and alienated. But as the captain said, if the consciousness sinks and is distorted, the physical effect will be meaningless. We must enter the theater of domination." [Kiana] used her own power, injected it into everyone present, and then said.

"What? But that's the enemy's home ground, and based on the information Fu Hua just found out, the enemy may be more than just the Thousand Rulers." Theresa picked up the broken feather and said.

"This is... I see, is it her?" Dr. Mei carefully looked at the feather's appearance after it was transformed, and she knew who the enemy was, but she didn't say it out loud, but looked at Kiana and Raiden Mei. They both nodded slightly, so Dr. Mei didn't say anything more.

"But based on the current information, there is no other way. Either go in or give up Captain Wang Chen and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao." Ji Zi judged.

"... I will not give up Captain Wang Chen and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. Tsk, I was completely tricked by the other party. Now we can only enter the opponent's home court to rescue the captain and others." Theresa closed her eyes and decided, "But, I can't be irresponsible to the people in this city. Just like yesterday, I have to leave some people in the real space to deal with failure. Once the people who enter the home space fail and the Herrscher is about to rise up, we have to destroy everything before the great collapse. How do you think?"

"agree."

"agree."

……

The unanimous voice of agreement also demonstrates everyone's will and determination.

"Okay, then I'll make the personnel assignment..."

"Aunt, Aunt!" Suddenly a hurried voice sounded, and a white-haired ball came running over in a hurry.

"Xiaoqi, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait outside?" Theresa asked.

"Someone... handed me a letter and asked me to bring it here for everyone to see." Kiana took out a letter and said.

"A letter?" Theresa took the letter and opened it to examine it. But after reading it, she immediately asked, "Who gave you this letter, Xiaoqi?"

"The letter... the letter is..." Kiana looked at her sister Kiana, her eyes asking whether she should tell it or not. Kiana nodded, and then Kiana began to say, "This letter was brought to me by Rin."

"What? Rin-chan brought it to you?" Aisha and Colorless Huihuo obviously also knew the cute child at the Fox Shrine on the mountain, and asked at the same time.

"Rin? Who is that?" Theresa asked, not quite sure.

"A cute kid who just entered junior high school and lives near the Fox Shrine. We have known Rin-chan for about a month now, and she is a very cute kid. But why is this matter related to this kid?" Aisha said.

"You will know after reading this letter." Theresa showed the contents of the letter to everyone. The contents were as follows:

Dear all of you at St. Freya Academy:

When you receive this letter, you must have encountered a difficult situation. There are two enemies, and you will fight in the enemy's home field. It is dangerous, needless to say. If you want to successfully rescue your respected captain and partners and solve this incident, please bring everyone, including those who are in a coma, to the Fox Shrine.

Yaezakura

yours truly

"..." After reading the letter, Mei Raiden, Kiana, and Dr. Mei nodded to each other, because they had actually discovered each other's handwriting from clues a long time ago, and were not surprised by the appearance of this letter.

But others didn't think so. They were all skeptical about Yaezakura who suddenly appeared.

"Yae Sakura... If I remember correctly, Rin's sister is called Sakura. Rin-chan mentioned this." Mu Se Hui Huo said thoughtfully, "Rin-chan is indeed an innocent child, but she has never seen her sister. Captain Wang Chen seems to be quite concerned about her sister."

"In other words, Captain Wang Chen might know this lady named Yaezakura?" Theresa asked.

"It should be possible. Considering this letter, the other party is also completely familiar with our current situation. Maybe even too familiar. How does she know what happened here? It's really weird and too coincidental." Aisha considered.

"However, since there is a new way, we might as well give it a try. Although judging from the child Lin, her sister should not be a bad person, it is better to be safe than sorry. With so many of us keeping a close eye on it, there should be no problem." said Wu Se Hui Huo.

"Where are the others?" Theresa looked around and saw that everyone seemed to be more interested in the new characters, so she nodded and said, "Well, since the other party said that there is a way to solve this incident, let's try it out. Kiana and Mei will be responsible for moving these people with me. Fu Hua and Aisha, you drive the transportation here. Himeko, you are still ready to stand by on the Hyperion to deal with the Great Collapse that may occur at any time. The rest of you, prepare to go to that... Fox Shrine."

"Yes!"

Chapter 72 Her Name is Yaezakura

"I didn't expect... I often go up the mountain, but this time I came here with such a mood." Raiden Mei followed the crowd up, then looked at Kiana who was carrying Wang Chen on her back, and said, "Kiana, do you need my help?"

"No need, Mei, I still have the strength to carry my brother-in-law up the mountain." Kiana shook her head, took a few quick steps, and walked side by side with Raiden Mei, saying, "My brother-in-law always says that I'm reckless, but this time I was reckless. I just jumped in headfirst. I don't know what the situation is now. I don't know if Rin's sister has the ability to bring my brother-in-law back."

"But under the circumstances at that time, Mr. Wang Chen would definitely make that choice. No matter if it was you, me, or anyone else, he would rush in at the first moment. I hope that Rin's sister really has a good solution." Raiden Mei said, looking at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao who was carried on Fu Hua's back in front of her.

Walking at the back are Kiana, Mei Raiden, Dr. Mei, and Brownie. The four of them are currently using their special powers to communicate privately.

"In the end, she took action, eroding thousands of people. Humph, it's really a big deal. She is not afraid of getting into trouble." Brownie said.

"As for Corrosion, it should be Ling. The Herrscher of Corrosion of this century has not yet been born. But Qianren is undoubtedly a product of this generation." Dr. Mei said, "As for what Sakura wants to do, it is unclear. Even her own sister and her friends can't figure out her mind."

"After all, she is the one who has accompanied the captain the longest among all our Valkyries. Because of this, even if we don't understand her actions, her motives and purpose will never be to harm the captain." [Raiden Mei] analyzed.

"But what I'm worried about is that the captain in Yae Sakura's eyes will be different from the captain we know. After all, as the few who have been with the captain the longest, we have all seen the captain's original appearance. And don't forget, there is someone on the ship who has been clamoring to turn the captain into his previous appearance. Recently, I feel that she has taken advantage of a loophole in the world to come into this world." [Kiana] frowned and said.

"The first captain... ah, it brings back some bad memories." [Raiden Mei] stroked her forehead, a rare look of fear appearing on her face.

"Yes... this incident has become a psychological trauma for Mei." Kiana said.

"Are you sure it will become a psychological shadow and not a new climax?" Dr. Mei glanced at Raiden Mei's ** and said suddenly.

"Mei, I think you need to be trained by the captain tonight." Raiden Mei said with a smile.

"You are so capable, why don't you bring the captain back safely first?" Dr. Mei retorted.

"You two...is this the time to have this argument?" Brownie said, shaking his head.

"We're here. Let Yae Sakura answer all the questions herself. What exactly does she want to do?" Kiana said as she stepped onto the last step.

……

"Dear sisters, nice to see you again." When everyone arrived at the shrine, Yae Rin was seen walking out of the shrine hall wearing a shrine maiden's uniform, bowing deeply to everyone and saying.

"Rin-chan, what is going on?" Colorless Huihuo asked first.

"My dear sisters, there are many things that Rin doesn't know much about. My sister is waiting for you in the hall. She will answer your questions one by one. Please follow Rin into the hall." Rin turned around and gestured for everyone to follow in.

"Let's go in and see what's going on." Theresa carried Judas on her back and entered the shrine first. The others also went in.

……

After entering the hall, Yae Rin ran to the depths of the hall, pulled a figure's clothes, and said, "Sister, they are here."

Under the gaze of the crowd, a young lady with long cherry-colored hair turned around and stared at everyone present with a pair of blue eyes. The woman was wearing an off-shoulder shrine maiden costume, a black undershirt, a shimenori rope tied around her waist, a plaid short skirt, white stockings and wooden clogs, and walked slowly towards them. When I got closer, I also noticed that the woman had a purple scarf around her neck and a pendant with the fox god's mark on it.

The faint scent of cherry blossoms lingered around the woman and drifted towards the crowd. After officially seeing her face, the girls present all showed a hint of surprise that such a beautiful woman could be hidden in this small shrine.

"I welcome you all to my humble home. I'm Yaesakura, Rin's elder sister, and the owner of this Fox Shrine. Please take care of my sister during this period of time." The woman named Yaesakura said with a gentle smile.

"There's no need to say anything extra. We're very pressed for time, although we don't want to scare the children." Theresa took the initiative to step forward and spoke.

"Yes, I understand. Rin, go prepare tea for the guests." Yae Sakura patted Yae Rin on the back. Yae Rin nodded. Knowing that her sister didn't want her to be there, she obediently left the hall and went to the kitchen.

"Everyone, please." Yaezakura pointed to a row of cushions, which seemed to have been prepared long ago.

Since the other party did not behave in a hostile manner, the people led by Theresa looked at each other, nodded, and sat down.

"So, Miss Yaesakura, can you explain what this letter is all about?" Theresa sat down and went straight to the point.

"As I said in my letter, if you want to rescue your companions, you must enter the enemy's home territory. But once you enter, you will have no chance to leave the enemy's territory unless you defeat the Herrscher at home. Leaving a backdoor will not work. Any means will be swallowed up by the power called 'erosion'. I believe you have seen it."

"The power of erosion?" Aisha noticed this word, frowned, and had a bad idea.

"Yes, just as you thought, there are two enemies, and both of them are Herrscher." Yaezakura said slowly.

"What! They are all Herrsers, and they have completely different abilities?" Theresa was shocked. The Herrsers were already very scary, and were considered by Destiny to be the most threatening Honkai disaster and enemy. And now there was not just one, but two.

"But I have another piece of good news. Although these two are Herrschers, one of them has not yet officially transformed into a complete Herrscher. His strength will not be much stronger than Yuno, who you fought against yesterday. As for the other one, he has long lost his former strength due to the passage of time." Yaezakura said slowly.

"This is so strange, Miss Yaezakura, if the information you said is correct..." Fu Hua suddenly said, "How do you know such detailed information about the Herrscher? Moreover, you know everything about us, and you even know exactly what happened on our side. Who are you?"

Chapter 73: Vixen

Fu Hua's question was also the question of most people present. They all stared at Yaezakura, hoping that she could give a reasonable explanation.

"Hu——" Suddenly, a domineering aura emanated from Yaezakura, oppressing everyone present.

"What do you want to do!" Theresa became alert. The Judas on her body stood on the ground and spread out. At once, several golden chains and light guns appeared around Theresa and confronted her.

"Long time no see, old friend." Suddenly, Yaezakura whispered from Theresa's side. "So fast!" Theresa was secretly shocked. She didn't realize how the other party came to her side. She turned her head hurriedly, only to find that the other party was stroking her weapon, Judas.

"Don't be nervous. I don't have any hostility towards you. It's just that I always use this kind of momentum when I use my strength. If I frightened you, I'll apologize." Yaezakura lightly touched the tip of Judas's Oath Light Spear with her finger, piercing the skin on her fingertips. A drop of blood appeared on the center of her finger and seeped into the tip of the light spear. Judas seemed to sense something at this moment, and he took back the chains on his own and cancelled the armed mode.

"What's going on!" Faced with the opponent's ability to easily wield the weapon that had accompanied her for many years, Theresa felt like she was wearing a heavy hat on her head.

"This power... is very similar to the strange power that blocked Captain Wang Chen's retreat before." Fu Hua was sharp-eyed and noticed that a purple-black color appeared on the tip of the light gun just now, and then said.

"Good eyesight, that's right, let me introduce myself again." Yaezakura continued to walk towards Kiana. Kiana stared at her nervously and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"My name is Yaesakura. Apart from being Rin's sister and the owner of the shrine, I'm also an insignificant... Pseudo-Hersker." As soon as the words fell, two long and thin fox ears appeared on Yaesakura's head, and a hint of evil charm appeared in her pupils.

"Get out of the way! Xiaoqi!" The moment Theresa heard the word 'Herrserker', she didn't care why the weapon didn't obey her orders, and directly lifted up Judas, ready to attack the opponent with her strange strength.

"Calm down, Auntie." However, [Kiana] waved her hand to stop Theresa and said, "Xiao Qi will be fine. Just as the other party said, if they wanted to deal with us, they would have started to act long ago, and they wouldn't be pretending now."

"You'd better finish what you want to say, Miss Yaesakura. Do you think it's fun to make everyone nervous?" [Raiden Mei] also came to Yaesakura's side, staring at her, using her actions to send a signal to everyone that there was no need to worry.

"I don't want to make you nervous, but my identity is indeed very sensitive to you, especially since my power is similar to the power of one of the two Herrschers you are about to face - the Herrscher of Corrosion." Then, Yae Sakura turned to Kiana and said, "I came here just to hope that this lady can hand over the person behind her to me."
