Chapter 74 - Resurrect Cecilia Sirin: Holy crap, 111111! 4k

"Although I don't know how you did it, humans, thank you for waking me up ahead of time."

Despite being firmly bound to Judas, the Queen of the Sky still arrogantly raised her chin and looked down at Bai Xun and the others.

"As a thank you, I'll make your death less painful!"

After saying that, the Herrscher of the Void unleashed her full power in an attempt to break free from Judah's control. However, she discovered that not only could she not connect to the Imaginary Space to obtain power, but even the already limited Honkai energy within her body was suppressed and bound by Judah's power.

What the Herrscher of the Void found most unacceptable was that even the Herrscher core within her didn't respond to her call. A subtle, ambiguous connection made her abruptly raise her head to look at the Spring Spirit standing beside Bai Xun, and angrily rebuked her.

"You vile thief, give me back my authority!"

"Who are you calling a thief? Who are you calling a thief!"

The spring spirit, suddenly scolded, pouted in dissatisfaction.

"I am the noble spirit of the spring. Isn't it only natural that the Herrscher core chooses to obey the commands of the more noble and powerful me?"

As Herrschers of the Void, the Spring Spirit in its prime undoubtedly possesses far greater control over the Herrscher core than the newly awakened Herrscher of the Void, who is weak and even controlled by Judah.

"Bai Xun, how should we deal with the Herrscher of the Void?"

Kiana, floating behind Bai Xun, found the defeated Herrscher of the Void somewhat amusing.

"Should we beat them up or reason with them?"

How do you plan to persuade them with reason?

Texas, who had not participated in the previous discussion, couldn't help but ask a question.

She remembered that in Bai Xun's description, Kiana couldn't be described as exceptionally intelligent; she could be considered wise beyond her years. To put it nicely, she was innocent and energetic; to put it bluntly, she was just plain stupid.

"That's easy, of course you just have to reason with her."

Kiana said earnestly.

"Of course, if she doesn't listen to reason, the only thing to do is beat her until she's willing to listen to reason!"

"Hmph, I remembered what Bai Xun said after only hearing it once, isn't that amazing!"

"sharp..."

Texas's expression remained unchanged, but in her heart she had already categorized Kiana and Exusiai as the same kind of people.

This guy seems to have the potential to join Penguin Logistics.

Texas is now certain that Kiana is simply a complete idiot.

"Ha, so much time has passed, and you humans still only know how to solve problems by resorting to force?"

Hearing Texas and Kiana whispering to each other, the Herrscher of the Void sneered disdainfully.

Bai Xun didn't pay attention to the small theater behind him, but looked at the Herrscher of the Void and said slowly,

"Cirin, how about we have a proper talk?"

The Herrscher of the Void, whose true name had been revealed, glanced at Bai Xun again, but her attitude remained as hostile as before.

"I have nothing to talk about with you humans! I am the Herrscher of the Void, the messenger of the gods, the destroyer of the world!"

I don't want to be your enemy, but to be an enemy of humanity! An enemy of the world! To take revenge on this world!

What cool lines!

Mei's eyes lit up immediately!

I suddenly realized that I might have misunderstood my future self.

It's not that I grew up to be a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) lesbian because I turned out badly; it's that all Herrschers are chuunibyou!

My embarrassing, childish thoughts and lines must have been influenced by the core of the Herrscher of Thunder!

How could the Herrscher of Thunder be so evil!

Bai Xun shook his head helplessly at Xilin, who was breathing on him.

"I didn't want to use this trick, but since you're breathing on me, I have no choice."

"Human, do you think you can defeat me!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Xun no longer hesitated. Dragon horns, like a crown, appeared between his hair, and the crimson dragon-patterned eyeshadow at the corners of his eyes was sharp as a blade.

With a face that resembled a dragon in the truest sense, he clasped his hands together abruptly, then thrust them forward towards Sirin.

"You're finished! I'm going to take your mother away!"

"Hey?"

Xilin originally thought that Bai Xun was going to use some kind of torture on her, but she saw that Bai Xun just made a strange gesture towards her and said that he was going to take away her mother.

But where does she find a mother now?

The fond memories of her childhood with her mother swirled in her mind... but she couldn't quite grasp them no matter how hard she tried.

Looking back, it seems there was only endless experimentation and torment in that cold laboratory, until she obtained power from the gods and destroyed all that abhorrent thing.

She truly had the chance to annihilate all the humans she loathed, but instead, she encountered that woman on the snowy plains.

In the endless darkness, Sirin had false dreams over and over again, longing for the woman who wasn't her mother but treated her like her own daughter.

She longed for the warmth Cecilia had given her, the warmth of maternal love that she truly craved.

But Cecilia is dead... she died because of her own actions... she was killed by her own actions...

Yes, Haku Xun couldn't take her mother away.

Because I... no longer have a mother.

At this moment, a torrent of grief swept over Sirin's heart, causing all the emotions she had been suppressing to be released.

My mother is dead. o(╥﹏╥)o

"Mommy!! Wow???!!!"

Tears welled up in her eyes in an instant. The Herrscher of the Void, who had been arrogant and domineering just a moment ago, now looked like a child separated from its mother, raising its head and wailing. She looked extremely pitiful.

Bai Xun hadn't expected this move to be so powerful. Last time, the half-blood demon went insane after being hit by this move. Bai Xun thought the main reason was because the opponent was backfired by the blood altar, but now it seems that it was more the effect of the "I'm going to take your mother away" skill.

Moreover, it seems that using the "I'm going to take your mother away" skill while wearing a dragon face does indeed have an extra damage bonus.

"She cried so pitifully."

Mebius couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle softly.

"Oh dear, our shopkeeper is so mean! Using such a trick on an orphan like that! Look at how pitiful he is, crying and making a fuss!"

"Stop barking like a dog, or I'll kidnap your mother next time."

Bai Xun glared at Mebius in annoyance, but to his surprise, the latter's smile only widened.

"I'm so sorry, I've been an orphan since birth, so your trick won't work on me, shopkeeper."

"Hiss, I forgot you can't be chosen because you don't have a mother."

When Mebius mentioned it, Bai Xun remembered that her mother had died in childbirth, and that Mebius's father had always treated her very badly, even abusing her as a child. This made Mebius feel very alienated from her family, which was one of the reasons why she became more extreme later on.

Seeing Sirin crying her heart out in her own body, Kiana also remembered Cecilia and felt a pang of sadness. Like her brother, she wrapped her arms around Bai Xun's neck and whispered in his ear, "..."

Are we just going to watch her cry like this?

"How could that be? Now that the wall of the heart has been broken, it's time to rely on my verbal skills and let me show you my superb ventriloquism."

After Xilin's crying subsided slightly, Bai Xun immediately stepped forward and met her bright golden cross-shaped eyes. His gaze was as warm and clear as the first rays of dawn, without a trace of impurity.

“Cirin, I know your past, and I know your hatred for destiny and humanity, but I think what you really want is not revenge.”

It is love.

"Woooo..."

Before the intense grief had subsided, Bai Xun's sincere words struck the most vulnerable part of Xilin's heart.

Having experienced countless pains and despair, Sirin once harbored a deep-seated hatred for humanity and wanted to destroy everything at any cost.

But on the snowy plains of Siberia, a woman named Cecilia gave Sirin the beauty and maternal love she had longed for, bringing a warm light into her dark heart, which was exactly what Sirin truly yearned for.

What Celine was seeking was not revenge, but simply the desire of a child deprived of love to be hugged by her mother one more time and to hear her voice one more time.

"What's the point of saying all this now? Cecilia is dead, and I have no heart to distinguish right from wrong!"

Still sobbing, Xilin forced back the tears that kept dripping from the corners of her eyes, and regained her anger and hatred, glaring at Bai Xun who walked up to her.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

“I want to save you, Sirin.”

Bai Xun's voice was incredibly earnest.

Xilin was certain that Bai Xun was just spouting sweet words, his real purpose being to numb and exploit her, but his eyes were so sincere and clear, without a trace of falsehood.

That gentle gaze was like sunlight shining into the bottom of a lake, its warmth reaching straight to the heart.

In a daze, Xilin could even see the reflection of the small purple girl in his ruby-like eyes—herself, yearning for family and love.

"rhetoric."

Xilin narrowed her eyes, suppressing the quiet tremor in her heart, and sneered.

"I am a villain who caused the Second Honkai Impact and killed countless people. What reason do you have to save me?"

"Because I like you (immediately answer)!"

"what?"

Pufferfish looking bewildered.jpg

The crowd watching Bai Xun's verbal sparring was equally bewildered. They had thought that Bai Xun, who was familiar with the plot, would have some perfect lines, but it turned out to be like this.

"I'm not joking, Sirin, my light of life, my fire of desire~"

Bai Xun reached out and gently stroked the girl's face, his eyes filled with affection.

"Cirin, my Cirin????? My destiny Aphrodite!!! The spring waters of the Seine are not as beautiful as you, the roses of Bulgaria are not as beautiful as you, you are a divine gift, you are the angel sent by God to save me!"

Words cannot express my affection for you. Whether you're the purple-haired pufferfish or the golden-eyed queen, I love you so much! As long as I think of you, any boss or danger can be overcome. I even unzipped my pants by myself!

"Manager, this is a bit abnormal."

Upon hearing Mebius's criticism, even Texas couldn't help but subconsciously nod slightly in agreement.

Kiana, like Sirin, felt her hair stand on end and cold sweat pour down her back!

"Brother, can you tone it down a bit? I'm really scared when you say things like that to my body."

Mei, look at him!

Unexpectedly, even though Hakuhiro was in such a state, Mei still stared firmly at Hakuhiro, who was still speaking.

"Trust Bai Xun. He must have his reasons for doing this!"

But Xilin didn't think Bai Xun had any deeper meaning; she just felt that Bai Xun seemed to have that serious illness.

"There's something wrong with you!"

Xilin was completely bewildered by Bai Xun's sudden outburst, staring at Bai Xun and the group of people behind him in utter disbelief.

"This is utterly unreasonable! Are you all out of your minds?!"

Are these people here to be funny?

She is the Herrscher of the Void, how could she be fooled like this!

But the next second, Bai Xun did something that Xilin couldn't understand.

He actually unlocked the Judah chains that bound Sirin's body, and Sirin was caught off guard by this sudden freedom.

Bai Xun held Xilin's hands, looked at the astonished girl, and said, word by word, with utmost seriousness,

"Sirin, if saving you is a sin, then let me be the sinner!"

Mei Yi: "????"
