I am a businessman from all over the world, not a profiteer!

The sound of him swallowing blood echoed in the class, and time was paused again the next second.

Xing pulled her right hand back from his mouth, looked at Xingyun angrily, and decided to give him a knife on the arm first!

"I see, this is what time stops. It's definitely different from the feeling of super-temporalization."

"?!"

Looking at Xingyun who raised his fingers and used his nails to block her attack, a look of panic appeared on Xing's face.

How could this man move within her time barrier?!

Chapter 151 Raiden Mei: Please stay with me from now on.

Xing distanced herself from Xingyun with a look of horror on her face. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly started coughing violently. Her body could no longer support the time barrier.

"Woo..."

Just when Xing thought that she would be defeated by the women rushing over her the moment time was lifted, she was shocked to find that time was still standing still.

Impossible! She had clearly already lifted the barrier of time!

Xing noticed the clouds moving in still time, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Why can he still move!

"Because now I'm the one stopping time."

Xingyun saw Xing's confusion and explained to her with a smile.

Her blood contained the power of the stigmata, and after sucking her blood, he had gained the power of this stigmata.

This holy mark that can control time will place a huge burden on the human body, but it is almost no burden on Xingyun.

Physical strength and imaginary energy will be continuously consumed in the time-stop state, but Xingyun can convert imaginary energy by squeezing vitality. Coupled with his body as the Envoy of the Order of Fertility, theoretically he can achieve infinite time-stop.

"Actually, when you caught me just now, I was concerned about something. You should be dying soon, right?"

Xingyun walked up to Xing and stroked her somewhat hardened face, which lacked the softness that a young girl should have. He looked over Xing's dress and saw the scars on her torso that were eroded by the Honkai energy.

"Overusing the power of the stigmata has already placed a tremendous strain on your body. Even if you never use this power again, you only have three months left to live."

Listening to Xingyun's analysis of her physical condition, a hint of stubbornness flashed in Xing's eyes.

She knew the price of using power recklessly, but if it could keep Cocolia's mother alive, it would all be worth it!

Xing's arms trembled slightly, as if she wanted to reactivate the Time Barrier to restore her ability to move.

"puff……"

The sound of blood vessels bursting rang out in her body, and then Xing returned to a state of stillness again. Her body could no longer support the use of strength.

"Is Cocolia so important to you?"

Looking at Xing who was unable to resist, Xingyun couldn't help but sigh for her.

This loyalty is indeed admirable, but it is a pity that she followed the wrong person.

"Don't worry, I will control my strength and won't accidentally kill you."

As Xingyun spoke, the hand that was originally caressing her cheek moved down, holding her slender neck, and then gradually increased the strength.

The fear in Xing's eyes gradually deepened, and her consciousness began to blur.

Is that the end?

I'm sorry... Cocolia's mother...

Soon her consciousness fell into darkness, and before she fell into complete sleep, she felt herself falling into a spacious and warm embrace.

As the time barrier was lifted, the quiet space regained its sound.

"Xingyun! Are you hurt?"

Mei Raiden looked at Xingyun who was holding Xing. She rushed to Xingyun with worry in her eyes, and her eyes swept back and forth on his body, looking for the location of the wound.

"I'm fine. Let's talk somewhere else."

Xingyun put his arm around Xing and snapped his fingers to stop time. The next second, the scene in front of them changed from the classroom to the rooftop.

During the time stop, Xingyun also used illusion hypnosis on the students in the school to make them forget the unusual events they saw today, and healed the security guard who was injured by Xing.

"Hmm... there are a lot of things that need to be explained. Where would you like to start?"

Mei Lei Dian looked at Xingyun putting his fingers into Xing's mouth, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. Why did Xingyun reward her?

She took a deep breath to calm her jealousy, then asked Xingyun.

"Why am I being targeted?"

"You have a Herrscher gem within you. More than a decade ago, you awakened the power of the stigmata within your genes. This power was an unbearable burden for a young child like you. To save you, your father, Thunder Ryuma, implanted the Herrscher core into you."

Listening to Xingyun's explanation, Mei Raiden subconsciously placed her hand on her chest. So the source of the powerful strength she felt was the Herrscher Core?

"What is a Herrscher?"

Hearing this frequently appearing term, Mei Raiden's intuition told her that the identity of Herrscher was probably very special.

"That is the enemy of humanity, the apostle of Honkai. Once they become Herrschers, they will lose their original personality and become a Honkai puppet, indiscriminately destroying everything around them."

Kiana answered this question on behalf of Xingyun. If this matter came from Xingyun's mouth, Mei Lei Dian would probably find it difficult to accept it, so she decided to be the bad guy herself!

Anyway, she didn't want to have a good relationship with this woman...

"Kiana, that's not true. There are also Herrschers who side with humanity! For example, me! Let me introduce myself again. I'm Alicia, the Herrscher of Humanity."

As Alicia spoke, she waved her pink crystal wand, causing countless beautiful crystal flowers to bloom on the rooftop. Her school uniform also turned into a beautiful dress. At first glance, you would think she was a transformed magical girl.

This also rekindled hope in Mei Raiden's originally desperate heart. She looked at Alicia who was looking at her gently, and indeed could feel a similar aura from her.

"kindness?!"

Kiana and Rita both looked at Alicia in surprise. Kiana was surprised that there was a Herrscher standing on the side of humanity, while Rita, who knew the information about the First Herrscher, was shocked that another Herrscher was born in the world.

Could it be that the third collapse has already come without us noticing?

"Miss Alicia, will I still be able to retain my personality after becoming a Herrscher?"

"Of course! Remember my self-introduction just now? I am the Ruler of Man. My power can bring humanity to my compatriots."

After hearing Alicia's assurance, Mei Raiden looked relieved and her tense mood finally relaxed.

If she was destined to become a monster that destroyed the world, she would rather kill herself than hurt anyone...

"What is collapse?"

"That's the imaginary energy transformed by the Cocoon of the End. By causing disasters, it forces civilization to develop in the direction it desires. If a civilization fails, it will destroy it and start all over again. This planet has already experienced this cycle at least three times."

Listening to Xingyun's introduction to Honkai, Kiana and the others were stunned. This was completely different from the Honkai they knew. Did Xingyun actually know the source of the Honkai?!

Rita looked at the increasingly mysterious Xingyun and began to feel uneasy. The fact that he knew so much inside information meant that Xingyun was very likely related to the previous civilization.

In addition, he has previously demonstrated the ability to stop time. Does Bianca really have a chance to beat him?

"Then Xingyun, is the reason you approach me because of my identity as a Herrscher?"

Faced with the problem of Mei Raiden that could cause the relationship between them to fall apart if she wasn't careful, Xingyun directly admitted it.

"Yes, Herrschers usually awaken when they are in extreme negative emotions. This is why Cocolia imprisoned your father, leaving you isolated and helpless."

Hearing Xingyun's answer, Raiden Mei felt a little disappointed, but at the same time she was very happy that he did not continue to coax her with sweet words.

Even if he used sweet words to deceive her, Mei Raiden would be willing to fall into the lies he wove.

"Is that so? Then, to prevent me from falling into despair, please stay by my side from now on..."

Mei Raiden looked at Xingyun affectionately, stretched out her little finger to hook it with his little finger and made a unilateral promise.

Because she loved her, she forgave his disguise. Because she loved her, she would never let him let go...

Chapter 152 Xing, I will wipe out your fantasy.

Xing opened her eyes again, and she seemed to have had a beautiful dream. Everyone in the orphanage lived a carefree life in a world without sadness and disputes.

This dream was so beautiful that she instantly realized it was a dream, but she didn't want to wake up...

"Are you awake? Do you want something to eat? You haven't eaten anything since you fled last night, have you?"

Looking at the bread handed to her by Xingyun, Xing Gang wanted to refuse, but her hungry stomach had already given the answer for her.

"Goo~"

"Ben, I'm not hungry!"

"Eat."

Hearing his words, Xing subconsciously took a bite of the bread. The fluffy and soft bread was full of the sweetness of butter and cream. She felt that every chew was a pleasure.

When she finished eating the bread in her hand, Xing finally realized that something was wrong. She clearly wanted to refuse, but why did she subconsciously eat the bread?

Is she so hungry that her body is no longer under her control?

Huh? Speaking of which, how come my body feels so relaxed?

My stomach and lungs no longer hurt...

"I healed you and made you my follower."

"what?"

Xing looked directly into Xingyun's eyes, bewildered. Soon, she shyly turned her head away, complaining in her heart, "Why is this man so good-looking..."

No! Now is not the time to worry about this! Cocolia's mother is still waiting for her!

Xing subconsciously activated the ability of the Time Barrier, but she soon remembered that this trick could not trap Xingyun.

Just when Xing thought that she would be subdued by Xingyun again like before, she was shocked to find that the time barrier had very little effect on her and could even last for ten minutes!

"This is the power I bestow upon you. Even though it's only a tiny bit, it's enough for you to become the strongest person in this world."

"Tsk, who cares about your power..."

Xing whispered as she released the Time Barrier. She couldn't escape from Xingyun's grasp anyway...

"Where is Cocolia?"

"Institute 42...?! You used Veritaserum on me!"

Xing glared at Xingyun angrily. She knew that the bread was so delicious, it must have been poisoned!

"Have you ever seen any movies or novels about vampires? Vampires have absolute dominance over their followers, so you have to do whatever I want you to do. Now rub my legs."

Xingyun hooked his finger at Xing and said, then put his legs in front of her and asked her to massage him.

"..."

Xing silently massaged him while thinking about what to do next...

Since the operation has failed, the only thing left is to find an opportunity to escape!

"Xingyun, about Xing... has she woken up?"

Bronya pushed open the door of the room and walked in. She looked at Xing who was sitting on the bed massaging Xingyun, and frowned slightly.

"Bronya, you damn traitor! Have you forgotten the love that Mother Cocolia has for us?"

Xing glared at Bronya with hatred. She could not forgive this damn traitor!

Maybe their information was sold to the World Serpent by Bronya!

"Xing, what she gave us wasn't love. She just wanted to use us. Otherwise, why would she tamper with the chip in my brain? Would a mother who loves her child do this to her child?"

Bronya tried to convince Xing and make her realize the control Cocolia had over them, after all, Xing was also a child who was being exploited.

According to Xingyun's description, when they were attacked at school, Xing's body was almost destroyed, and she only had a pitiful three months left to live. She was using her life to forcibly use the power of the stigmata.

Cocolia is not worth her risking her life at all!

"That's because Mother Cocolia has long seen that you will betray me in the future!"

Hearing Bronya insulting Cocolia, Xing turned her head and spat at her. Her hands were now firmly fixed on Xingyun's legs, so she could only "attack" Bronya in this way.
