Is this world of yours a serious place?

Although she hated the Herrscher of the Void who destroyed her life, this was the first time she faced the Herrscher of the Void.

"The Herrscher of the Void."

The raven murmured the word quietly, but did not act rashly.

After a moment, Rita landed gracefully beside Kiana, the giant sickle in her hand emitting a cold light in the night.

Chen Xiuming did not land, but floated in the air, leaving the fighting space to Kiana and Rita.

With their strength, it is not difficult to deal with the raven. The only problem they need to worry about is that the raven will try its best to escape.

Kiana might be able to chase down the escaping Raven, but Krita would be unable to do so.

"Can I choose to surrender?"

Having said that, Raven had no intention of surrendering. He raised his hand and swung out a few blood-red feathers, pointing them directly at Rita and Kiana's faces.

Before the two of them could shoot down the blood-red feathers, they exploded and turned into blood-red mist, blocking their vision.

The cold light of the giant sickle tore through the blood-red mist, but the raven was no longer visible.

——The raven ran away.

The Honkai Engine has been taken away by Kiana, and the failure of the plan is a foregone conclusion.

Instead of fighting to the end, she might as well retreat temporarily, protect herself, and then try to remedy the plan that was about to fail.

Although the hope of escaping is slim, we have to try it anyway.

Kiana had anticipated that Raven would choose to escape, so she immediately drilled into a golden hole. When she reappeared, she was already blocking Raven.

Seeing this, Raven immediately changed direction and fled, throwing three long feathers at Kiana.

This time, Kiana did not give Chang Ling the chance to self-destruct, and directly sent him into the imaginary space.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Three sub-sky spears shot out from the imaginary space, catching up with Raven, but she dodged them nimbly.

Before she could continue to escape, the three Sub-Eon spears broke into extremely tough Sub-Eon belts, which instantly wrapped around her body, making it difficult for her to move.

"I surrender."

Raven's face was calm, and he was not surprised at all that he became a prisoner.

Furthermore, Chen Xiuming and others had no intention of killing her, otherwise her head and body would have been separated at the moment of meeting her.

PS. Second update!

Volume 293: . Bundled Play

Looking at the raven who had accepted his fate, Kiana was a little surprised.

The identity of Raven remains a mystery. It is definitely not as simple as the "Shencheng Pharmaceuticals branch in Shenzhou" as it appears on the surface. Perhaps even the multinational company "Shencheng Pharmaceuticals" has another unknown identity.

Therefore, Kiana thought that Raven would try to resist or fight to the death after being captured.

At this time, Rita arrived late, and Chen Xiuming also landed beside Kiana, looking at the rather embarrassed Raven.

Raven has short grey hair that reaches his neck, and a tuft of proudly standing "aho hair" on top of his head that is particularly eye-catching.

The shape of her pupils is like that of a snake, and the rose-red color of her pupils gives her a very dangerous feeling, while making her look uniquely charming.

Especially there is a beauty mole on the left corner of her mouth, which makes her charm even more attractive.

Raven is wearing a tight black and gray combat suit with a lot of leather belts for reinforcement, a feather-like decoration on the left shoulder, and sharp burgundy knuckles on both hands.

In addition to the tight combat uniform, he wore a cloak that was black on the outside and red on the inside, with metal decorations on the hood that looked like eyes.

Three sub-sonic belts tightly wrapped around Raven's body, and combined with her tight combat suit, she actually had a sense of "bondage play".

If the raven could show an expression of humiliation or refusal to obey, it would be more like "Bondage Play".

The position of the Sub-sound Belt's binding is very professional. It can't be a coincidence or an unintentional act. It must be the result of Kiana's deliberate control.

"Kiana, this kind of binding technique...where did you learn it?"

"Eh? I read it in a book, and it seems that it is not easy to break free..."

Kiana didn't realize at first that there was anything wrong with this method of binding. It was only after hearing Chen Xiuming's specific inquiries that she realized that this method of binding was a bit inappropriate.

The next second, the Belt of the Archon immediately released the raven, but bound it again the next moment.

But this time it was no longer the same binding method as before, but just ordinary binding of hands and feet.

"Ms. Kiana, if you are interested in that area, you can ask me for information."

Rita looked at Kiana with a smile, and there was a hint of amusement in her eyes.

As a qualified and excellent maid, it is natural for her to know that kind of knowledge, but because she has never had the opportunity to practice, she is still at the theoretical stage.

"No, no need!"

Kiana hurriedly refused, and suddenly felt her cheeks burning with heat, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Chen Xiuming condensed a golden chain and wrapped it around Raven's hands, then asked Kiana to remove the Belt of the Sky.

Kiana knew the effect of the golden chain, so she did not doubt it and immediately took back the Sub-sonic Belt.

This action made Raven slightly stunned, and then he looked confused.

Why not use the extremely tough Sub-Eyed Belt, but instead replace it with a golden chain that looks easy to break free from?

Raven was shocked and confused, and couldn't help but wonder if this was a fishing attempt by Chen Xiuming and Kiana.

I am not a weak person. I may not be able to break free from the shackles of the Subsonic Belt, but a few chains can still...

Raven's thoughts suddenly came to a halt, and then a huge storm arose.

The golden chains looked easy to break free from, but once they wrapped around his hands, the Honkai energy in his body seemed to have turned into a pool of stagnant water. No matter how he mobilized it, there was no response. Even his physical condition seemed to have returned to that of an ordinary person. He felt weak and frail like never before.

The raven opened his mouth, wanting to ask what was going on, but he didn't know how to ask, and was speechless for a moment.

"Where is the Honkai Energy Engine?" Chen Xiuming asked Kiana.

Hearing this, Kiana snapped her fingers, and a golden hole suddenly opened up in front of her. She then reached into it and took out the Honkai Engine.

Compared to Raven who can easily lift the Honkai Engine with one hand, Kiana seems to be slightly lacking in strength and performs more strenuously.

"The Honkai Engine is very dangerous. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause a very horrific Honkai event."

Kiana warned quietly.

Chen Xiuming nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, but he did not have much worry or fear.

Even if the Honkai engine exploded on the spot, he was confident that he could control the range of the Honkai engine explosion to a very small area.

If we borrow the power of Kiana the End, we can easily erase the impact of the Honkai Engine explosion.

"Rita, are you going to handle this or am I going to handle it?"

"Master Chen Xiuming, if you need it, you can take it directly."

Rita smiled sweetly and gave the choice back to Chen Xiuming.

Chen Xiuming thought for a moment and said, "I'll study it for a day or two and then give it back to you."

"Okay, Master Chen Xiuming - please remember to make sure the shell of the Honkai engine is intact. Otherwise, once the Honkai engine is activated, it will turn into a powerful Honkai bomb."

"I will be careful."

Chen Xiuming responded, then sent the Honkai energy engine into the world bubble in his body, preparing to hand it over to the Alaya Consciousness for research.

With the power of Alaya-vijnana, it is not difficult to reverse engineer a series of technologies based on the Honkai engine, and perhaps it can be expanded to other uses.

The temporary ownership of the Honkai Engine was decided in a few words, and then Chen Xiuming released the flying magic and left with Kiana, Rita, and the "prisoner" Raven.

……

at home.

Cecilia, the school principal Cecilia and Shigure Kirara did not rest and waited patiently for Chen Xiuming and others to return home.

"Lady Cecilia, Kiana shouldn't be in any trouble, right?"

Shigure Kirara paced back and forth in the living room, her worry for Kiana obvious to her words.

Cecilia glanced at her and jokingly said, "If you are so worried about Kiana, why didn't you want to accompany Kiana to investigate Shencheng Medicine just now?"

"this and that……"

Shi Yu Qi Luo suddenly felt guilty and muttered in a weak voice, "I wasn't that worried just now..."

“Don’t worry.” Principal Cecilia chuckled and dispelled Shigure Kirara’s worries. “Even if you don’t have confidence in Xiuming’s ability, you must have confidence in Cana and Kiana.”

This "Kiana" is not the Kiana of the original world, but refers to the Kiana of the end.

After hearing this, Shi Yu Qi Luo finally put her worries to rest, but she did not forget to explain: "It's not that I don't believe in Xiu Ming's ability, it's mainly because I'm too concerned..."

The two Cecilias looked at each other and smiled with their hands covering their mouths at the same time.

At this moment, Alaya, who had been wandering in his mind, suddenly came back to his senses and seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be reminding: "The approach of the technological beacon has been detected - Master Chen Xiuming is about to return home."

Before he finished speaking, Alaya had already left the sofa and stood at the entrance, eagerly waiting for Chen Xiuming and others to arrive home.

PS. First update!

Volume 294: . The Fall is in Progress

When Chen Xiuming opened the door, the first thing he saw was the Alaya Consciousness he had been waiting for.

"Master Chen Xiuming, welcome home."

This was the first time that the Alaya consciousness spoke like a human being.

Chen Xiuming was slightly stunned, then he smiled, walked to Alaya, and ruffled her hair.

Alaya lowered its head slightly, enjoying Chen Xiuming's "pat on the head".

Kiana followed closely behind, walked through the entrance and went straight to the two Cecilias, as if she was a child who had never grown up, craving for her mother's warm embrace.

Neither of the two Cecilias would refuse Kiana's closeness. At the same time, they listened with a smile as Kiana proudly recounted her experience of the investigation, and they did not hide their desire to be praised.

"Kiana is really great~"

"You've worked hard. Have a good rest tonight."

Cecilia and the school principal Cecilia said one thing at a time, making Kiana couldn't help but reveal a happy expression.

——This kind of situation was something she had never even dreamed of before.

Rita held the golden chain in her hand and pulled Raven into the house.

The Eos transport ship, which served as the base of the Undying Blade team, was attacked by Ravens not long ago. Although no casualties were caused, the transport ship, which had lost its power source, was no longer suitable as a temporary base.

Therefore, Rita is now in a "homeless" state, so she simply follows Chen Xiuming home and learns magic from him.

The raven didn't say a word from beginning to end, remaining silent.

When she saw the two identical Cecilias, her rose-red pupils suddenly shrank as if she had seen something incredible, and an emotion called "surprise" was evident in her words.

Although the images are slightly different, she can still see the shadow of another World Serpent executive, "Hato", in the two Cecilias.

In other words, the appearance of "Hato" was formed based on Cecilia.

"Ms. Raven, you seem very surprised by the existence of Lady Cecilia?"

Rita was closest to the raven and noticed the raven's emotional changes first.

"..."

Raven remained silent, with a frown on his face, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Then she responded to Rita's inquiry: "I know people who are very similar to them."

"Is it……"

Rita narrowed her eyes and tried hard to think about who "someone who looks very similar to Cecilia" was referring to, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Speaking of which... Miss Raven, you are still unwilling to tell me your true origins?"

“…You should have heard something about it.”

The raven's reply was ambiguous, but enough for Rita to determine her origins.
