Before Zhang Yang could speak, Li Sushang rushed forward, looking Kallen up and down with surprise in her eyes: "You're really alive? You were just being held by the Herrscher, and now you're awake?"
Kallen frowned slightly: "A Herrscher?"
"You do not know?"
"My last memory... was of the execution ground." Kallen's voice was soft, as if she was trying hard to recall something. "Suddenly, Honkai Beasts appeared, and Otto ran out and told me to escape. I saw Honkai Beasts attacking people, and I rushed forward to try to save that child..."
She reached out and pressed her hand to her chest.
"Then something... was taken out of my body."
Then there was darkness.
"I felt like I was at the bottom of a very deep body of water, unable to see or hear anything."
Then someone grabbed my hand.
Karen looked up at Zhang Yang: "It's you?"
Before Zhang Yang could answer, Li Sushang interrupted, "It was him! He suddenly ran over and took your hand, then you both disappeared, and then suddenly reappeared a little while later, and then you woke up!"
Karen looked at Zhang Yang, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Thank you."
Li Sushang glanced at him: "So you just casually took someone's hand, huh?"
Zhang Yang remained unfazed: "I did it to save people."
"You just said she was your wife." (Transferred)
"That was a tactical judgment."
"What tactics?" (Group)
"Tactics you don't need to know."
Li Sushang snorted and didn't ask any further questions.
Cheng Ling Shuang had been standing silently to the side, but suddenly spoke up: "Su Chang, don't disturb your husband's good time."
"Master, why are you so biased towards him!" Li Sushang muttered under her breath, speechless. "That Rakshasa man who is not as good-looking as him is begging for medicine everywhere because of this girl Karen's corpse. He is obviously deeply in love. I feel that there will be a complicated love story between a lovelorn man and a resentful woman."
“That sounds amazing.” Cheng Ling Shuang didn’t even deny it.
Li Sushang: "..."
Wait a minute, isn't Master looking forward to it?
It's just like when you go to listen to audiobooks.
On the other side, Zhang Yang and Fu Hua explained everything to Kallen.
Kallen sensed the state within her body and then said something that stunned everyone: "I think... I can use that Herrscher's ability."
"What?" Li Sushang's eyes widened.
The voice of Void Treasury came from above: "This is not hard to understand. Although the consciousness of the Herrscher of Domination has been destroyed, her Herrscher core is still there. After the legitimate owner of this body awakens, the power of domination will naturally be controlled by the original owner."
Li Sushang was stunned for a moment: "You can do that?"
"The operating logic of Honkai energy is often illogical," Void Treasury calmly replied.
“This body contains her memories.” Karen pointed to her temple. “From the moment she took over this body… until she disappeared, it was like a dream, very clear.”
"Can you find where the controller for the Fourth Divine Key is?" Fu Hua asked immediately. "She controls the Fourth Divine Key from the outside to create a wind that sends her special Honkai virus to all of China."
Karen closed her eyes, as if flipping through memories that didn't belong to her.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of discomfort flashed across her expression from time to time. After all, these were other people's memories, and the memories of the murderer who had taken over her body. Reading through them probably wouldn't be a pleasant experience.
"Do not……"
Karen's eyes widened suddenly: "She's still here..."
Golden feathers drifted down from Karen's body.
The very same clone that Otto had used to destroy the Herrscher of Domination, Feather Dust, suddenly activated and emitted light.
Suddenly, a voice that sounded like a thousand people overlapping echoed from the altar: "You think... you can kill me? Don't dream. If it were Yu Duchen, it might be possible, but he's just a mimic. How could he possibly kill me!"
"In the instant of death, I hid my consciousness inside these feathers."
"That man really didn't dare to harm this body..."
"You actually went through my memories? Haha, how foolish! Your mind has been compromised, and that's when I'll return!"
Before she could finish speaking, Karen suddenly raised her head!
The azure light in her eyes was fading, replaced by a murky gray-white.
rustle!
Silvery-white threads surged wildly from her body, exploding in all directions!
Li Sushang reacted the fastest, leaping backward and drawing her sword, Ruoshui. The icy blue sword energy drew an arc in front of her, severing all the incoming threads.
Cheng Ling Shuang simply turned to the side, and the silk thread brushed past her ear, embedding itself in the stone wall behind her with a muffled "thud thud thud".
Fu Hua swayed, dodging the incoming threads.
Zhang Yang remained motionless, and the control threads, upon touching him, seemed to encounter an insurmountable barrier and automatically repelled him.
The voice of Void Treasury came from above, its tone unusually urgent: "Zhang Yang! You retrieved Kallen's soul from the Imaginary Tree, but you should know that the Herrscher Core itself has a characteristic that slowly transforms the holder into a Honkai puppet."
"Although Kallen has now regained her body, this body of hers was once modified by the Herrscher of Domination."
"The Honkai energy brought by those Herrscher powers is eroding her consciousness."
"If left unchecked, she will eventually be consumed by the Honkai..."
Hearing this, the Herald of Domination became smug: "Haha, you nameless scoundrel, would you dare to lay a hand on me? Don't forget, I still have the consciousness you painstakingly retrieved from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers!"
Void Treasury said, "Although I am sorry to Otto, we have no choice but to destroy this body now. Hua, hero of the Fire Chaser, please make the right decision."
Fu Hua: "?"
Hmm, is there something else I need to do?
"No problem." Zhang Yang grabbed Karen's wrist and kissed her directly.
Li Sushang's eyes widened.
Cheng Ling Shuang turned her head away expressionlessly, as if it were none of her business.
Fu Hua paused for a moment, then frowned slightly, but did not intervene.
The Void Treasury was silent for a moment, then uttered, "...Interesting."
Karen's body froze, her eyes widened, and the spreading grayish-white color paused for a moment, then began to fade rapidly as if melted by something.
A fiery breath entered her body from Zhang Yang's lips, like a flame, flowing down her meridians.
The chill in his body and the feeling of being imprisoned in his soul completely disappeared.
A sharp scream came from her body, the scream of the remaining consciousness of the Herrscher of Domination as it was burned in the flames.
"Why...how could you do something like this..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
The golden feather trembled violently in the air a few times, then with a "poof," it burst into a ball of crimson flame, turned to ashes, and dissipated into the air.
Zhang Yang released her and took half a step back.
【Eternal Flame Seal Illuminates the World】Burning away all harmful information, the Heart Seal burns away the consciousness of the ruler of laws.
Karen stood there, her chest rising and falling slightly, a faint blush rising on her cheeks, whether from the kiss just now or because the fire within her hadn't had time to completely cool down.
"You...were saving me just now?"
"That's right, I used the heart-shaped seal script."
"Um, is it really necessary to kiss?"
Zhang Yang remained unfazed: "You don't need to know so much about power matters."
Karen looked at him, her lips twitching slightly, but she composed herself and said, "Thank you for saving me."
"You are welcome……"
"Miss Karen, he's taking advantage of you!" Li Sushang said unhappily, "When burning the Herrscher's consciousness before, you didn't need to kiss, you only needed to pat him. How come he kisses a pretty girl like that?"
Cheng Ling Shuang said calmly, "Yes, the first kiss should be given to someone you care about, like Su Chang."
"I don't want to be kissed."
"You should have given me your first kiss."
"Master, what are you saying now?"
Karen, however, was quite open-minded and said softly, "You also had your first kiss, so we're even. Besides, the situation was urgent, so... it's okay."
“This wasn’t my first kiss,” Zhang Yang said.
Fu Hua: "..."
For some reason, Fu Hua felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, before Li Sushang could react, Karen had already opened the door to leave.
"The controller has been found. We'll head over there now."
A circular exit quietly appeared, and on the other side of the exit was the Tianqiong Peak under the moon, where the stars were few and the mountain wind howled.
Chapter 82 The First Herrscher of This Era
pale.
An endless expanse of pale white.
There is no sky, no ground, no distance, no direction.
It's as if someone has bleached the very concept of "existence," leaving only an empty shell.
Otto stood among them.
The fingers are still there, the shadow is still there, which means that he himself still exists somewhere.
But everything around seemed to have been stripped of its color and texture, even the air had no temperature.
There is a throne ahead.
A person sat on the throne.
The figure is blurry, its outline barely visible. It sits in a relaxed posture, with one hand resting on the armrest and the other casually hanging down at its knee.
Its face was indistinct, as if shrouded in a thin mist, but its outline...
That silhouette looked somewhat like my own.
Otto noted the detail in his mind, a smile appearing on his face—a respectful yet graceful smile befitting the Archbishop of Destiny.
He bowed slightly: "Nice to meet you, or rather, should I address you as... 'God'?"
The humanoid did not answer.
It simply sat there, motionless, like a statue older than the space itself.
Otto maintained his smile, but his mind was already racing, and he was gathering Honkai energy behind the scenes.
On the surface, they were impeccably polite, but in reality, they had already prepared an escape route.
no way.
The most important thing he has learned in all his years of life is: never place your hopes on the goodwill of others.
Just then, the humanoid figure reached out and touched Otto's forehead with its fingertip.
……
Sky Peak.
The moon is bright and the stars are few; the mountain wind howls.
The cool moonlight shone on the broken floating island, turning the ravaged mountaintop into a silvery white.
Pebbles were scattered all over the ground, and the remains of the broken sword reflected a dim luster under the moonlight.
The acrid smell of burning Honkai energy lingered in the air, not yet dissipated.
