"I've seen through your hypocrisy!" The Herrscher of Thunder sneered, "You've always been like this. Back in Changkong City, you gave me false hope, making me think I could defy fate. Turns out, it was just an illusion you created with your power. You wanted me to live in the pain of resisting fate for a lie!"

"No! I didn't!"

Although she was clearly refuting, Kiana lowered her head, and the tears that had filled her eyes at some point fell to the ground.

"But I won't blame you for this." The Herrscher of Thunder suddenly changed the subject.

"After all, you and I are both chosen by Him. Compared to those petty, humble, foolish humans who seek their own suffering, we are true compatriots. Look, how perfect I am now. I will no longer be emotionally moved by those trivial human matters. All that remains in my heart is responsibility and peace."

Kiana lowered her head and saw a pair of armored boots stop in front of her. Then, the cold blade touched her chin, forcing her to raise her head.

The Herrscher of Thunder's playful smile immediately caught her eye. Kiana looked blankly at this girl who seemed familiar yet even more unfamiliar. She had already knelt completely on the ground, having given up resisting.

"So, Kiana, what are you waiting for?"

"Will you continue to maintain your human hypocrisy? Or will you embrace your fate and eternal peace like me?"

"Don't you always say that you like me the most? Then let me see your actions."

Every word the Herrscher of Thunder said pierced her heart. Kiana stared at her blankly, her mouth moving twice, but it was just an unconscious tremor.

Da da da--

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from behind them.

The Herrscher of Thunder drew his katana, dropped Kiana, and turned to face the newcomer.

After the support disappeared, Kiana's head drooped again. But she immediately raised it up and saw the owner of the footsteps - a strange girl in a blue dress.

The girl glanced at Kiana who was kneeling on the ground, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"It's time for Advent," the girl whispered.

The Herrscher of Thunder turned around, and a smile exactly like the girl's appeared on his face.

But Kiana didn't know what to do anymore. She just stared blankly at the girl in blue as she walked towards her, bent down and held her face with both hands.

The next moment, the girl in blue emitted light!

She loosened her grip, took two steps back, and opened her arms toward the sky. The white light emanating from her was gentle and warm, just like what was often mentioned in scriptures about the belief in God—a sign that God was about to descend upon the world!

The white light grew brighter and brighter, and the girl's blue clothes gradually faded, turning into pure white. Even her figure became increasingly illusory, as if melting into the light.

The light rapidly expanded, reaching its peak in the blink of an eye. Kiana saw only a flash of intense light before her eyes, and in an instant, everything within her sight was obscured by flawless white.

As the white began to fade, Kiana suddenly heard the laughter that had disappeared on the fourth floor resound again! And it was right in front of her!

The Queen of the Sky has arrived!

"Very well done."

The Herrscher of the Void stood in mid-air, looking down at Kiana and the Herrscher of Thunder. However, when he saw the Herrscher of the Void, a hint of disgust flashed across his face.

"Although I somewhat admire your foolish courage, but..." The Herrscher of the Sky glanced at Kiana, "You obviously overestimate yourself."

"I almost want to admire your decision. You actually left those hypocritical guys behind and ran to this strange world alone. Oh, even that lingering guy has disappeared. How pleasing."

The Herrscher of the Sky sat with his legs crossed in the air, a smug smile slowly appearing on his face.

"Who else could save you this time?" she asked. "Could it be the store manager? But he doesn't even seem to have the courage to come in with you."

......Store manager?

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Kiana's dull eyes.

"Manager!" she suddenly shouted, "Please answer me! Even just one word, one voice, Manager!"

However, the voice that seemed to come from outside the world did not sound as she wished.

"Manager!" Kiana continued to scream, as if she was unwilling to accept her fate. "Please, Manager! I just want to know that you are here! I just want to know that you are still behind me! Manager!"

"Please answer me, Manager!"

Whoosh!

Kiana, who was shouting, suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in her face. A spear of the sky passed by her ear and even broke a tuft of hair.

"It's so noisy." The Herrscher of the Sky said gloomily, "Besides, it's so ugly!"

"What kind of store manager is that? He's just a loser who only dares to watch from the sidelines! You actually begged him with just a voice? Do you think he can change all this? Forget it! When I leave this world, I will let you see with your own eyes how weak he is!"

"Manager..." Kiana lowered her head again, but still murmured as if she was unwilling to give up.

The Herrscher of Sky snorted coldly, and the Herrscher of Thunder, who had been staying below, immediately picked up his knife and walked quickly towards Kiana.

This time, the blade touched his neck. The chilling sensation even made his skin flush and begin to numb...

"You are nothing but a piece of trash right now." The Herrscher of Thunder looked down at Kiana in the same condescending manner. "You should be begging her to accept you, instead of begging a piece of trash like you!"

Whoosh!

Another gust of strong wind came howling.

But this time, it was followed by the Herrscher of Thunder's groan!

Such a shocking turn of events made Kiana's eyes widen. The person she had been calling out to with all her might was actually standing right in front of her!

"I have something to remind you of." Wang Xuanqiao glanced at the Herrscher of Thunder who was forced to retreat, and finally looked at the Herrscher of Void who was sitting upright in the air. "In fact, when you say you are begging her, you are actually begging for someone like her—"

"waste."

Wang Xuanqiao looked at the Herrscher of the Void and smiled slightly.

——The author has something to say——

I would also like to thank the three book friends for their recommendation votes, and thank you for your support!

Volume 023: : How about this game, isn’t it cool?

"You are just an ant, yet you are so arrogant!"

The Herrscher of the Void snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and several sub-void spears broke through the air and fell towards Wang Xuanqiao like raindrops.

However, Wang Xuanqiao just blew lightly, and all the spears that were stabbing at him lost their direction as if they were drunk, avoiding their targets and flying to other places randomly.

"Hmph! A little trick!"

The Herrscher of the Void suddenly stood up, hands spread wide, chin raised slightly. Behind her, a vast dark golden halo instantly filled the sky. The darkness of the otherworld was illuminated for the first time, and the light shone from behind the Herrscher of the Void, as if a god was about to judge all living things.

"Now, what can you do?"

The Queen of the Sky reached down and pointed gently.

Thousands of Sub-Sky Spears swarmed out, reflected by the golden light, and turned into a world-destroying rain of light that poured down!

Wang Xuanqiao simply scratched his head, then suddenly turned around, picked up the kneeling Kiana, and stepped out onto the rooftop. By the time the Sub-Sky Spear stabbed down, he had already jumped off the rooftop with his men and disappeared.

"Tsk, isn't this just a miserable escape?" The Herrscher of the Sky narrowed his eyes and sat down in the air again.

"But it doesn't matter. Just be like two mice in the gutter. If you can survive the cat's prey, I don't mind showing you a little mercy."

After saying that, the Herrscher of Sky glanced at the Herrscher of Thunder on the rooftop.

"You, go kill them."

The Herrscher of Thunder nodded and chased down the rooftop without a word.

"Hmph...disgusting hypocrite."

------

The strong feeling of falling made Kiana subconsciously close her eyes, but when the wind stopped, the expected strong impact did not occur.

She opened her eyes and found herself in a church.

Wang Xuanqiao leaned over and put Kiana on the chair, then sat down beside her.

"Manager..." Kiana said in a low voice.

"How about it? Isn't this game cool?" Wang Xuanqiao asked with a smile, and at the same time put his feet on his legs and leaned back on the chair.

This question really stumped Kiana, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

It's pretty cool, but it's incredibly realistic, not abstract, and it even lets you create nightmare scenarios tailored to your own needs. And it even has the Herrscher of the Void at the end, which is damn dangerous. But to say it's not cool is a bit of a lie. This game is incredibly powerful, and the customization is incredible.

"I don't know." In the end, Kiana could only smile bitterly.

"Why are you always putting so much pressure on yourself?" Wang Xuanqiao shook his head. "I'm already here, so just relax a little."

"If you're saying that past experiences are keeping you from relaxing, then you're just playing games. And I'm not from your world, so I can say that your past has absolutely nothing to do with me."

Wang Xuanqiao raised his hand and wanted to pat Kiana on the shoulder, but she hung her head, so he just patted her on the head.

This move was indeed unexpected. Kiana's body trembled noticeably, and she subconsciously waved her hand to push away the palm on her head.

"What are you doing!" Although Kiana was 'blaming', she was obviously not really angry.

"Isn't this much more normal?" Wang Xuanqiao cheerfully withdrew his hand. "I have some free time now, so let's review your gaming experience."

"..." Kiana lowered her head again, looking dejected.

"Since you're quiet, I'll speak first," Wang Xuanqiao cut to the chase. "As the saying goes, hesitation leads to failure. While this game is impressive and presents many unimaginable scenarios, it's still a game at heart. The appearance of an enemy means the battle has begun, and as a player, you should roll up your sleeves and get involved."

"It's not that simple..." Kiana whispered.

"Categorizing combat as simple or complex ultimately comes down to a lack of strength." Wang Xuanqiao shrugged. "If you could kill the Herrscher of the Void with one shot, would you now be able to write "very simple" on the questionnaire?"

"......Ah?" The white-haired ball was a little confused.

"Think about it, isn't that the truth? If you're better than her, you can just play her any way you want. If you're about the same level as her, you have to give it your all to win. If you're worse than her, well, forget it. Either wait for the game to restart or call a stronger teammate to help you."

Wang Xuanqiao reached out again and patted Kiana's head with lightning speed, drawing her attention to himself.

"For example, now, you can't beat her, so you called me in to rescue you." He quickly pulled back his hand, raised his thumb, and pointed at himself.

"......That's not what I meant when I called you!" The white-haired ball protested immediately.

"Of course I know." Wang Xuanqiao smiled and stood up from his chair. "But the moment you called me, it actually meant you had already lost. Didn't I tell you? Remember, this is a game, but don't treat it like a game."

"When you have to resort to the idea that 'this is a game' to numb yourself, the so-called trial is over. There's no point in continuing by numb yourself. It's better to quit early and reflect on your experience."

By the time he finished speaking, Wang Xuanqiao had already reached the church gate.

Kiana then realized that he was about to leave and tried to stand up in a panic.

"where are you going?"

"Go deal with the Herrscher of the Void. A large number of data anomalies have just appeared in the game. If left unchecked, the system calculates there's a 30% chance you'll be in danger. I suspect this anomaly is most likely the Herrscher of the Void, so I have to go find her."

Wang Xuanqiao replied.

"But......"

"Don't worry, I won't steal your life. Just rest here for a while, think about what I just said, and prepare for the battle with the Herrscher of the Sky."

Wang Xuanqiao pushed open the door, suddenly turned around and glanced at Kiana.

"Oh, I'll give you a spoiler. At the end of Silent Hill, the mortals who accidentally strayed into the other world defeated the gods who descended into that world."

After saying this, he left the church. The door slowly closed as Wang Xuanqiao left. At this moment, Kiana suddenly noticed that the black-framed glasses hanging on the store manager's face were gone, but his face looked so natural, as if he had never worn any glasses.

This look was quietly imprinted in Kiana's mind.

------

The scene outside the church was quite spectacular. The dark sky was filled with purple lightning that swirled like dragons. It was a sign of the Honkai energy being integrated into Silent Hill, but in Wang Xuanqiao's eyes, it was all abnormal data.

"Hmm - I have an idea." Wang Xuanqiao looked at the purple lightning in the sky and smiled.

At this time, an uninvited guest came near the church.

"Oh? It's you?" Wang Xuanqiao looked down and saw that it was the Herrscher of Thunder created by Silent Hill.

She was walking towards him with a knife in her hand, her face showing an expression as if she had everything under control. Even "confident" was not enough to describe the confidence she exuded at the moment.

Seeing her like this, Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but touch his chin, feeling a little strange. But then he clapped his hands, suddenly realizing something.

"I understand! After all, the material was taken from Kiana." Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but sneer. He took a step forward and grabbed the Herrscher of Thunder's neck, holding her and flying towards the hospital.

The Herrscher of the Void remains where he is!
