Genshin Impact, start by playing as the Herrscher of the Void

Hmm...what to do?

Wendy no longer thought about Shigure Kirara, and suddenly she didn't know what to do next. Now she had completed all the preparatory tasks, and the only thing left was to wait for Raiden Mei's arrival. But during this period of time, she still wanted to do something more to kill time.

Oh, and the World Serpent, and Destiny...

It should be easy for them to fight each other, right?

There is also Anna, the Herrscher of Ice, and that world snake guy, Night Owl...

Suddenly, Wendy thought of something interesting, then she looked towards a place and flew towards it quickly.

With Wendy's departure, the ice sculpture that froze Shigure Kirara stood quietly in the center of the Coral Island, waiting for Raiden Mei's arrival.

However, Mei Raiden obviously had to encounter some troubles before coming here.

-------------------------------------

Why haven't they come yet...

Somewhere in the urban area of ​​Coral Island, Night Owl, standing on a building that had become ruins, was looking around lazily.

According to his estimation, Raiden Mei and Raven should have arrived here a long time ago, but now he couldn't even see their shadows.

But even so, he still looked lazy on the surface, not in a hurry at all. And this was exactly why many people couldn't see through him. No matter who he was facing or what he was facing, or even the threat of death, he always looked lazy, and almost no one knew what he was thinking.

All of this stems from the collapse two years ago, when he lost everything including his own sister. But even so, he was still seriously infected by the collapse, and his life was coming to an end, so he began to give up on himself.

But in the end he still came out of the disaster and regarded the Valkyrie who saved him, Anna, as his last hope of survival. He really hoped that the two could meet again, so he later joined the World Serpent.

He knew very well that if he really wanted to find Anna, then joining the World Serpent was a must.

Whether it is relying on the World Serpent's technology to prolong life, or relying on the World Serpent's resources to find Anna, they are both indispensable.

Anna...will I ever be able to...see you again?

The necklace in his hand sparkled in the sunlight, and a rare hint of bitterness appeared on Night Owl's lazy face.

From two years ago to now, in order to continuously prolong his life, most of his body has become machines. He really doesn't know how long he can hold on.

Huh?! Herrscher?!

what happened? !

Suddenly, Night Owl quickly took back the necklace in his hand and turned his head sharply to look behind him.

The fourth Herrscher? How could she...

Night Owl turned around and seemed a little surprised when he saw the person appearing behind him.

As a member of the World Serpents, he knew a little about the Fourth Herrscher, and he even heard rumors that the Lord wanted her to join the World Serpents. But as to why she appeared here, he didn't know now.

"You're not afraid of me? Isn't it because you haven't woken up yet?"

Seeing Night Owl looking at her lazily, Wendy became a little curious.

She originally thought that he would be scared or something when he saw her, but he just looked like he was half asleep.

"I have nothing to lose anymore, so there is no need to be afraid!" With a slight smile, Night Owl still answered Wendy's question lazily.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Fourth Herrscher was actually as strange as the rumors said. This made him very surprised, but he didn't show it.

"There's nothing to lose? Are you sure?" After hearing what Night Owl said, Wendy couldn't help but smile.

What does she mean?

Night Owl could clearly sense that the Fourth Herrscher had something else in his words, and if he really wanted to say it, he did have something to lose, and that was Anna.

But how did the Fourth Herrscher know all this? Or did she know where Anna was?

Regarding these two questions, Ye Xiao was no longer as lazy as before, but he remained silent and said nothing.

No matter what, he had to be cautious about Anna's affairs. He didn't want Anna to be in danger because of his words.

"Why are you silent? Is it because I'm right?"

Seeing that Night Owl hadn't said anything, Wendy smiled again.

But even so, Night Owl still didn't say anything, which made her a little impatient: "Forget it, there's really no point in telling you so many meaningless words. I'll just say it straight, Anna is in my hands now, if you want her to be safe, then promise me to do one thing."

Night Owl: “!”

What?! Anna?!

Although he had already guessed this, he was still very surprised when he heard the Fourth Herrscher say this.

But Anna really...

"Night Owl, you don't want Anna to get hurt, do you?"

As she spoke, Wendy handed Night Owl a photo of Anna and several other Valkyries lying on the ruins.

Of course, this photo was not taken by Wendy herself, and she didn’t know how to take it. She asked the system for it.

Anna...wait, she's here on Coral Island too?!

Looking very carefully at the photo handed over by the Fourth Herrscher, Night Owl soon discovered that the photo was taken in the urban area of ​​Coral Island.

That means Anna is here too.

"What do you want me to do?"

Putting down the photo, Night Owl wanted to know what the Fourth Herrscher wanted him to do.

"Help me lead the raven to a place whose coordinates I'll give you. Remember, she can only be alone. I'll give you other things to do later." Wendy quickly stated her request.

"So...if I do whatever you ask, you'll give Anna back to me?"

"Of course, but you have to wait until I finish dealing with things." Nodding, Wendy continued, "You have to remember one thing. No matter who you are, you can't expose me. Can you do this?"

"No problem, I'll do it now-"

Without thinking too much, Night Owl quickly agreed to Wendy's request.

Although this was an act of betrayal to the organization, Anna was too important to him, and he couldn't just stand there and do nothing.

However, he was not without the ability to fight back in front of the Fourth Herrscher, as he now had in his hand an anti-Herrscher weapon called the Staff of Yellow Springs.

If there is a need to use it, he will try to use this weapon against the Fourth Herrscher.

295~Wendy's plan is in progress——

The outer ring of coral island.

Cross-sea bridge.

"Thank you very much for your help. Don't worry, if you die accidentally, I will definitely bury you with honor."

"Thank you for your kindness. Please also pay more attention to your own safety."

"Well, you too."

In response to Raven's equally mocking tone, Rita quickly responded tit for tat.

Originally, she and Lady Yulandel were rushing to the place where the Valkyrie team lost contact, but on the way they met the World Serpent's Raven and Raiden Mei. So they just stopped to explain what they were going to do to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Although they are allies now, there is still a lot of distrust between the two sides.

However, during the communication process, Rita and Raven gradually began to mock each other verbally.

"Rita."

Seeing that the tension between the two was growing, Yulandel called out to Rita.

"Excuse me..."

After being reminded by Yulandel, Rita realized her own gaffe and stepped back with her head slightly lowered.

"We have the same goal. Since we are allies, let's complete our respective missions and not interfere with each other."

Mei Raiden doesn't care about the matter between the World Serpent and Destiny. She just wants to defeat the Herrscher as soon as possible to avoid involving Kiana.

No matter what, she couldn't let Kiana use the power of the Herrscher anymore. She had to bear the pain alone.

"The Valkyrie troops will be stationed in the outer city, evacuating the survivors and preventing the Honkai from spreading outward. According to the agreement, you will be the ones to defeat the Herrscher, and we will not interfere at will."

After reiterating the responsibilities of both parties, Yulandel didn't want to continue wasting time here.

"Thank you very much!" Raiden Mei nodded.

"Let's go, Rita."

"Yes, Lord Yulandel—"

Under the gaze of Raiden Mei and Raven, Yulandel and Rita turned and left.

"We also..."

"Wait!"

Just when Mei Raiden was about to continue heading towards the city of Coral Island, Raven, who had suddenly received a text message from Night Owl, stopped her.

"Come here first, Raven. Don't call Raiden Mei. I have something to discuss with you."

Looking at the display screen of the communicator, Raven couldn't help but frown at the text message sent by Night Owl. She didn't know what the hell Night Owl was doing.

She already felt very strange when she saw his text message, and the content of the message made her even more confused.

"What's wrong?" Raiden Mei asked when she found that Raven seemed a little strange.

"Nothing, just wait here for a moment, I have something to deal with now."

Silently turning off the communicator's display screen, Raven shook his head as if nothing had happened.

Although she didn't know what Night Owl was doing, since he asked her to do so, she had to go there alone to check out the situation.

"...I see."

After hesitating for a moment, Mei Raiden didn't ask too much, but just said that she knew.

She knew that the World Snake had many secrets, and she had only joined the World Snake for a short time, so she knew what she should do.

-------------------------------------

Coral Island.

Urban area.

"Night Owl, what are you doing? Why don't you let me call Raiden Mei over with you?"

Looking from afar at the Night Owl who was standing on the ruins with his back to him, Raven was already impatiently asking him the reason.

"I lost the Staff of Yellow Springs." Turning around, Night Owl, who looked a little weak for some reason, spoke slowly about what had happened to him.

"What?! Say it again!"

Raven didn't expect to hear such news from Night Owl. She was completely stunned and even thought she had heard it wrong.

You know, in the eyes of the jackals, the Yellow Spring Staff is a very precious thing. And more importantly, they only brought one Yellow Spring Staff with them this time, and there was no spare one.

That is to say, without the Staff of Yellow Springs, they could not complete the task assigned by the Lord unless they went back to the base and asked the Jackal for another one.

But doing so would waste a lot of time, and the Herrscher might very well take the opportunity to leave, which would be very troublesome.

"I lost the Yellow Spring Staff."

Night Owl slowly repeated what he had just said.

"I...ah...what does this have to do with Mei Raiden? Why not let her come over?" Even though he was very angry now, Raven was still very curious why Night Owl didn't let Mei Raiden come over.

"I heard that she is very familiar with the Lord, so I am worried that she will tell the Lord about this..."

"Then do you think I won't tell the Lord about this? And do you think we can keep this secret? You have to know that without the Staff of Yellow Springs, we can't complete the Lord's task at all. When the Lord blames you, you will have to deal with it yourself." At this moment, Raven was so angry that he almost laughed at Night Owl's actions.

"So I'm going to... ahem... ask you to help me... get it back..."

As he was talking, Ye Xiao suddenly started coughing violently, and he looked in very bad condition.

"What happened to you? And where did the Yellow Spring Staff fall? What happened?"

It was then that Raven discovered that Night Owl was not in a good condition, so she realized that he might have encountered something.

"I just went into the city of Coral Island to look for someone, but... ahem... I didn't find the person I was looking for... Then on the way back, I was attacked by a Honkai beast..."

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for here? How come there is someone you know in there?" Raven was even more confused.

"A Valkyrie. I found out from the Tianming communication I just intercepted that she is stationed here, but her life or death is unknown." As if he was lost in some memory, Ye Xiao continued, "You must be curious about why I would look for a Valkyrie. In fact, I encountered a collapse before, and it was that Valkyrie who saved me. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."

"I thought you didn't care about it anymore." Now Raven finally understood what happened, but she was also very surprised that Night Owl still cared about someone.
