I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　“Miss Lingmo, you are free to continue venting your anger on my body. After all, I am about to transfer my consciousness.”

　"Venting your anger is a pointless act. This punch of mine is just to confirm that your consciousness is still in this body and that you are not playing a recording."

　Lingmo withdrew her fist expressionlessly, then gave Otto a bright smile.

　"Don't worry, the worst outcome of this battle will be mutual destruction. I can't stop you from scheming against me and Sirin, but with an equal information gap, you can't stop me from retaliating against you either."

　"Because you have no idea how I will retaliate against your conspiracy."

　Without further hesitation, Lingmo took out a prop that she had prepared beforehand.

　"The conditions for using this thing are a bit harsh. It can only be used after your body is completely powerless to resist. So, I should thank you for delivering yourself into my hands."

　"Well then, see you later. I hope Miss Amber won't start crying and making a fuss again because of Destiny's financial shortfall."

　As Lingmo finished speaking, a prop resembling a toy sword was plunged into Otto's body by Lingmo.

　Suddenly, a strange energy began to flow along Otto's Soul Steel Body Network and into the Bishop's Soul Steel Body Banks all over the world.

　At this moment, Otto's expression finally changed.

　"Amber! The Treasury of the Void!"

　In the headquarters of Destiny, the spare body that Amber had taken out in advance suddenly opened its eyes. Otto's consciousness had already been transmitted back to the headquarters, but it seemed that he himself was not very happy about it.

　"Now, immediately, sever the synchronization network of all my Soul Steel bodies! Save as many as you can!"

　Chapter 41 Walter: Oh my, isn't this fate? What, you're bankrupt too?

　【Punk Lord's Greeting (Consumable)】

　【Category: Curious Item】

　Star Rating: Four Stars

　[To use this tool successfully is to insert it into the target's body, ensuring a contact area greater than 30% and a contact time exceeding 1 second.]

　[After using this item, the Ether key inside will lock the target's location (including clones) in one direction and launch a data attack based on Ether editing. Due to the limited energy storage of this artifact, the maximum number of targets that can be captured simultaneously is 50, and the maximum total number of targets that can be attacked is 999.]

　[Note: This attack requires a data space connection; if the connection is physically severed, the attack will automatically fail.]

　This item can only be used 0/1 of the time.

　That's right, this Punk Lord greeting is one of the items that Suzumo drew from the system.

　Before the operation began, whether it was her luck finally working out or some benefactor secretly helping her, in any case, Lingmo's ten-pull, which she had saved up, was split into two five-pulls and distributed across two pools, and she actually managed to get three purple items.

　One of them is Alan, who has already been used before, and the other is Suzumo's second trump card - Punk Lord's Greeting.

　However, when Suzumo first drew this item, she had a headache for a while. After all, although the effect of this item seemed very strong, it had two fatal flaws.

　First, there are stringent conditions for its use: the tool must be inserted into the target's body, ensuring a contact area of ​​more than 30% and a contact time of more than 1 second. For Suzuma, achieving this in battle would indeed be quite difficult.

　Secondly, although this item seems to have a large number of attacks, the cost of this characteristic is that each attack is not very effective. At least under the protection of the Void Treasury, such attacks will not have much impact on Otto himself.

　So... Suzumo simply let her thoughts wander.

　Hey! Since I can't do any effective damage to you, Otto, then I can at least dismantle your unconscious Soul Steel clones, right? Anyway, no matter how powerful Otto himself is, he can't control his nearly four-figure number of Soul Steel bodies at the same time. Similarly, if I were to attack all of his bodies indiscriminately at the same time, Otto would definitely not be able to react in time.

　Thus, the above plan came about.

　According to the user feedback provided by the system, Otto's Soul Steel body was nearly four-fifths destroyed by the damage caused by Punk Lord's greeting, and those that remained were all close to the headquarters area.

　Although Lingmo's attack could not completely destroy the Soul Steel, and these damaged bodies could be reused as raw materials, reprocessing a Soul Steel body would cost a considerable amount of money.

　Meanwhile, since almost all the Soul Steel bodies preserved around the world have been captured by Lingmo, it will take Otto at least several years to redistribute his clone network and achieve the same level of responsiveness around the world as before, and that's without even considering the financial pressure on Destiny.

　After all, war is all about money. Having just experienced the Second Honkai Impact, and with all the Soul Steel Dolls in the world completely destroyed, one can imagine the predicament Otto will face after the Second Honkai Impact ends.

　However, this was not something Lingmo was concerned about. After all, she was just a newbie who had only been in the world for less than a month. It was already quite remarkable that she could guarantee a draw with Otto. Look at Old Yang next door, he had been fighting with Otto for decades, but he was always being suppressed by Otto.

　As for the last item drawn... it's actually a kind of insurance in extreme situations, but Suzuma really doesn't want to use it.

　After all, although the effect is very powerful, the essence of this item is to help Suzumo clean up the mess, and since it can create a mess, the process is probably not very optimistic.

　“Otto’s problem has been resolved. At least for the time being, he can’t possibly switch to a new body to interfere with us.”

　Standing up from beside Otto, and then kicking the Soul Steel body aside, Lingmo looked at Sirin with some worry. In just one minute, Sirin's state had changed. A large amount of Honkai energy condensed into crystals enveloped her layer by layer, forming a huge cocoon, which swirled its power in all directions.

　"Walter, what happened? Where's Otto? How did Sirin become like this?"

　At the same time, Cecilia and Siegfried arrived from not far away, and even though they were prepared, they were still taken aback by what they saw.

　"Let me explain..."

　Ayn's voice came from the screen Walter was holding.

　“Otto used some unknown method to activate all five cores in Sirin’s body at the same time. If a Herrscher only has a single core, the effect of this state will not be so great, and it can even be considered an amplification for the Herrscher to some extent.”

　"But the problem with Sirin now is that she has five cores in her body, and apart from the original Void Core, the fusion with the other cores is only average. This means that Sirin is completely unable to control the five raging cores in her body in the short term."

　"Due to the mutual repulsion of several powers, Sirin is no longer able to suppress the core as before, and may even have lost consciousness. The consequence of this situation is that... a severe collapse disaster has begun to occur in the Siberian region."

　"Because we and Schicksal had evacuated personnel in advance, there have been no casualties in the area where the Honkai has spread. However, the Honkai caused by the simultaneous eruption of the five Herrscher cores will definitely not be limited to Siberia. In a few hours, half of Asia will probably be engulfed in this terrible disaster."

　"Then what should we do?"

　Lingmo stared intently at the screen: "You're not going to tell me to just give up on Xilin like this, are you?"

　"Of course there are solutions, but to be honest, this method is very dangerous, and due to certain external factors, we may end up in a situation where we suffer from both evils."

　Ai Yin's voice turned serious.

　"According to reliable intelligence, the Schicksal headquarters has entered a state of full combat readiness. Judging from their internal weapons mobilization, Otto probably plans to launch Honkai energy fission bombs at Siberia. Under these circumstances, if you don't leave now, you may not have the chance to leave."

　"Let's get straight to the method."

　This time it was Cecilia who spoke, and a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.

　Before she left, Celine told me... that she hoped I would call her "Mom Cecilia" again when we met again.

　"Whether she admits it or not, at least in the illusion, I am already her mother... So, I can't let her simple wish be dashed."

　Chapter 42 Kevin: Let me see who this is... Holy crap, Ellie?

　"If you insist on doing so... the solution is simple."

　Ai-in sighed: "Cecilia and Siegfried, your task is to break through the defenses around Sirin and escort Walter to Sirin's side. However, you must be careful, as Sirin is currently completely unconscious and may attack you. Just in case, I suggest you inject that thing, Siegfried."

　"it is good."

　Siegfried didn't say much, but simply nodded with a serious expression.

　"And Joachim... you should still remember the blueprints for the Moon Throne engine, right?"

　"You mean..."

　Walter was stunned for a moment.

　Aiyin nodded: "That's right. Use your ability to materialize the engine of the Moon Throne, and then, with the help of the engine's Honkai energy neutralization ability, forcibly remove the core from Sirin's body."

　"However, forcibly removing the core will cause great harm to Sirin. I don't recommend that you do it too many times. Given the current state of Sirin's body, you can stop once you've removed the Thunder Herrscher core, which has caused the most damage to Sirin's body."

　"And after Sirin lost her core and fell into a critically injured state..."

　"Leave the rest to me."

　Cecilia took a deep breath and interrupted Ai-in, saying, "I have a way to neutralize all the Honkai energy in Sirin's body and completely resolve the Honkai energy pollution in the Siberian region... Just leave it to me."

　"As for Suzuma... considering that your transformation time has ended, why don't you come back first? If this continues, your body might not be able to withstand the Honkai energy's erosion..."

　"Do not bother me."

　Lingmo waved her hand: "My condition is not the key, but as long as I am here, Xilin may not completely lose control."

　"If you insist."

　Ai Yin remained silent for a moment, without saying anything more.

　"Then everyone, let's hurry up and act, otherwise Otto's Honkai energy fission bomb won't wait for anyone."

　……

　"Yes, that's right, that's it."

　At the Schicksal headquarters, Otto, who had just finished taking stock of the losses, stood expressionless in front of the screen, watching the situation in Siberia.

　"They are a group of good people, and only good people would risk their lives to make such a futile effort."

　"After all, they may have forgotten one thing: when all the cores are activated and repel each other, the Death Law Core, as the kind of core that Sirin cannot fully control, will no longer repair her body according to Sirin's will."

　"In other words, even if Cecilia risked her life to purify all of Siberia, including Sirin, they would most likely only get a Sirin who was on the verge of death."

　“Due to Suzuma’s sneak attack, Schicksal has suffered a severe blow. If Cecilia and Siegfried were to return alive under these circumstances, they would definitely bring Kiana to join Anti-Entropy. In that case, the balance of power between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy would be completely disrupted. Therefore, we should take advantage of this opportunity…”

　"amber."

　"Regardless of the outcome of Cecilia and the others' actions, deploy Honkai energy fission bombs in that area."

　"Then immediately dispatch a team to retrieve the Second Herrscher's corpse, the five Herrscher cores, and Suzuma's corpse."

　At the same time, in the Sea of ​​Quanta.

　Inside a strange bubble-like world, a white-haired, blue-eyed man suddenly opened his eyes.

　"Has another descendant of the Kaslana family awakened 'that thing'...?"

　"Forget it, let's go take a look anyway. If possible, let's lend a hand to that descendant."

　Perhaps because the time he spent sealed in the Sea of ​​Quanta was too boring, and also because he didn't want to stay here reminiscing about the past, Kevin stood up, and his consciousness began to follow Kaslana's Stigmata Space to lock onto the man who had awakened forbidden power.

　Since awakening these Honkai Beast genes requires a certain level of strength, Kevin easily locked onto his target: a descendant named Siegfried Kaslana.

　However, when Kevin arrived at the destination, he found that the situation was not as bad as he had imagined.

　"He's not completely dominated by the rage in his mind? Perfect, then it seems I don't need to help him control his body."

　Perhaps because his wife and friends were around, or perhaps because he knew how much trouble he would cause others if he lost control, when Kevin arrived, he saw Siegfried gritting his teeth and controlling himself, unleashing as many attacks as possible on the cocoon of light formed by Sirin.

　Realizing that his descendants did not seem to need help, Kevin began to observe his surroundings.

　Accompanying Siegfried was a white-haired woman wielding the Black Abyss White Flower, whose strength was also quite formidable. With the help of the Black Abyss White Flower, at least this descendant would not be immediately devoured by the Honkai Beast's genes after this atavistic state ended.

　And beside her was... um? The Herrscher of Reason?

　Kevin blinked and looked at it carefully, somewhat uncertainly.

　They are indeed Herrschers of Reason... and judging from their conversation, they don't want to defeat the Second Herrscher before them, but rather to save her? In other words... are the First and Second Herrschers of this generation Herrschers who can be communicated with, approached, and even fight for humanity?

　Kevin was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. He even had the urge to break the seal right now, rush to the battlefield, and grab the two "Herrschers of Man" and throw them into Paradise.

　After all, she would be very happy if she saw this...

　Kevin sighed deeply, feeling the turmoil in his heart. He quickly looked around, trying to distract himself.

　Based on their conversation, they should have a partner named Suzumo nearby... Where is she?

　Soon, Kevin's gaze locked onto a corner at the edge of the battlefield, or more precisely, a pink ahoge sticking out from behind a rock.

　Pink hair...

　Kevin couldn't help but sigh at fate. After all, he had just thought of Ellie, and now he discovered that the last person in the team was also a pink-haired girl... What a strange coincidence.

　Kevin controlled his consciousness to drift towards that corner.

　Although he currently has no physical form and his existence is merely an undetectable projection formed by the activated Kaslana Stigmata, his own formidable strength allows him to temporarily distance himself from his current "host."

　Moreover, judging from what had just happened, everyone in this team clearly possessed extraordinary skills, and he was also curious about what kind of uniqueness this Lingmo, who was hiding on the edge of the battlefield, had.

　then……

　Turning the stone around, he saw something that surprised him so much that his very existence almost became unstable.

　"Love, Alicia?!"

　Chapter 43 Customer Service Xiao Ai: If I didn't tease Kevin, wouldn't my trip have been in vain?

　Almost at the same time he saw Lingmo, Kevin, who was floating in the air, gasped and quickly arrived in front of Lingmo.

　The somewhat worried girl was completely unaware that a truly remarkable person was now watching her intently, and continued to keep her eyes fixed on the battlefield.

　"...No, this isn't her."
