I am a Herrscher of Ice, and I am loved by players.

After saying this, Otto stepped into the church.

Watching Otto's departing figure, Kiana had an intuition that this seemed to be the last chance to defeat Otto, so she swung her sword again.

However, she was unable to get close to Otto, as Joan of Arc on the side attacked again. At the same time, a golden light emanated from her body, and her armor sparkled in the light. She stood there like a paladin.

It was as if she was the center of the world.

As the golden light fell, Kiana also had a strange feeling. Under the cover of that light, the strength in her body was rapidly dissipating, and the greatsword in her hand that represented the fire was also melting away.

And in the light, the holy light of the girl named Joan of Arc became brighter and brighter. At this moment, she was the only saint in the world!

However, Kiana knew that she was not, and that power was called restraint.

And the identity of this Joan of Arc is the Ruler of Constraint!

The golden light spread out from the statue of the saint, covering the entire church and forming a golden barrier. Its name was - the barrier of restraint - a true divine grace barrier!

But the saint who brought all this walked out of the barrier and stood in the open space in front of the saint's statue. She was just like a saint who had fallen into the mortal world, sacred and noble, possessing a power that no one could ignore.

She just stood there, confronting Kiana, without making any further move, like a sculpture.

Kiana looked at the light screen in front of her, felt the power flowing out of her body, then looked at the person in front of her, gritted her teeth, and in the end, said nothing.

In this situation, there is no point in saying more.

The other party is Otto's pawn and is extremely loyal to Otto, so there is really nothing he can do.

However, I really didn't expect that Otto actually had such a trump card in his hand, and that body and face were clearly Teacher Anna...

Of course, now it is not a question of whether to use one's best or not. All beings are equal before the Ruler of Constraint.

However, the only thing to be thankful for now is that this Ruler of Constraint is not the one standing on the side of collapse, but a human Ruler. If the Ruler of Constraint needs to be killed, with the current configuration of the Hyperion, it would probably be extremely difficult... No, it is something that cannot be achieved at all.

This is not a joke, the Ruler of Constraint has such power!

"It seems that we can only wait for the principal and others to arrive."

Kiana sighed. In the end, she could only stand there and wait. She had already sent a message to Theresa, but it would take time. Besides, other people were also rushing over here.

Now, there is one thing to be thankful for. Because of Jeanne's defense, Kiana did not forcefully chase after her. Therefore, she only damaged the Fire Sword and lost part of her power. It did not become the situation like the original plot, where most of her power was sealed.

"Kiana, are you okay?"

A moment later, a familiar voice sounded, and Bronya came over, still in the posture of the Herrscher of Reason. It was obvious that she had successfully broken through Rita.

Of course, there is nothing to say about this. In terms of strength, Rita is already the weakest.

Then, Kiana briefly explained the situation here to Bronya, and soon, Theresa also rushed over, and then there was the holographic communication from the Hyperion.

After some discussion, Dr. Einstein finally made the conclusion.

This Miss Joan of Arc is the Herrscher of Constraint in this civilized era. Although no one knows how she appeared and the Hyperion has not observed the direction of the Herrscher's core, she is indeed the real Herrscher of Constraint!

Volume 1: Chapter 182 - Theresa, you don't want to...

"Why are you saying so much? Since he's a Herrscher, just fight him!"

There is no doubt that the person who said this was the grumpy Dr. Tesla, and after she said this, everyone else looked at her with an extremely helpless look.

Are you kidding? If we can really fight whenever we want, why would we waste time here?

This is not a restraining barrier, but a real Herrscher of Restraint. Fortunately, he is a human Herrscher, otherwise it would be like looking for a lantern in the toilet for them to stand here and discuss.

If Miss Joan of Arc wanted to kill them, it would only take a raise of her hand.

"Oh, if negotiations fail, then the only option is fighting, right?"

Tesla noticed the gazes of others and scratched her head in distress. She was indeed a little impatient and said the wrong thing, but that was indeed the case. Apart from fighting, what other choice did she have?

"........."

Everyone frowned. Although what he said was a bit rough, it made sense. There was no possibility of communicating with this Miss Joan of Arc. They really... could only fight.

"Let's try again!"

Theresa thought for a moment, then said that for her, she still didn't want to think of any conflict. Besides, because of Joan of Arc's identity, as a clone, Theresa felt a bit of sympathy for her, as well as a little love for her.

Now, Theresa is the person with the highest status and position here. The other person who has the final say is Walter Yang, but it is obvious that this is the headquarters of Destiny, so Theresa's opinion must be listened to more. After all, the Valkyrie of Destiny is also present.

"Then I'll leave it to Ms. Theresa."

So says the holographic Dr. Einstein.

"If we still can't come to an agreement, then we may have to resort to the last resort and activate the Moonlight Throne."

The Moonlight Throne is Anti-Entropy's secret weapon and is also the device now installed on the Hyperion. Its principles and settings come from the final weapon of the previous civilization to deal with the Ruler of the End, and are now reproduced by Anti-Entropy.

Of course, even if it is replicated, the power of this Moonlight Throne is still limited, so don't even think about being able to compare with the Moonlight Throne of the previous civilization.

All I can say is that it is indeed an effective weapon against Herrscher, but it is very limited.

Take the main gun for example. The effect of a cannon shooting down a mosquito has always been very limited, not to mention that this "mosquito" has a supersonic speed, making it impossible to hit it at all.

After all, weapons like the Moonlight Throne were designed for targeted shooting, not for facing a Herrscher of Man.

Facing a Herrscher of Humanity, perhaps launching a few hundred Honkai fission bombs would be more effective.

Well, the number of several hundred is not exaggerated. If you really attack one by one, I'm sorry, you can't reach the output threshold of the Herrscher. Then the Herrscher itself is equivalent to no consumption, and all defenses can continue to be maintained.

In essence, this is still the difference between a barrier and a herrscher.

Of course, Dr. Tesla also proposed that the current primary goal is not to break through the Herrscher, but to break through the barrier light curtain behind the Herrscher. However, this idea was rejected as soon as it was proposed.

No one has the ability to lead the Ruler of Constraint, Miss Jeanne d'Arc, away from the light curtain completely.

After all, the Ruler of Constraints of a Human Ruler is too terrifying and a completely impossible to resist existence. This is really very different from the original plot where only the light curtain needs to be broken.

"Anyway, let me go negotiate first."

Theresa spoke, bringing the discussion to a close.

Jeanne's eyes were slightly closed, her face was compassionate and peaceful, this was the posture of the Ruler of Constraint. In fact, the Rulers, also known as the Apostles of the Collapse, were all based on human beings. That was why the Ruler of Constraint could be in such a posture.

Of course, as the Lord of the End, if Anna wants to change something, she can naturally do it. As the Lord of the End, she has the ability and qualifications to realize her subjective will.

As for Theresa's and the others' conversation, Joan of Arc could naturally hear it. There was nothing to say about it, not to mention that the distance was not far. Perhaps they ignored it, or perhaps they did it on purpose.

But no matter what, Joan of Arc didn't take it to heart.

In fact, she is not very important here. The energy to construct the light curtain is not provided by her, but comes from Otto.

So, compared with the original plot, there is actually no difference. Otto has arranged everything, and the rest is left to Joan of Arc to freely play the script.

And now is the time for Joan of Arc to show her power.

Thinking of this, Theresa walked towards Jeanne.

"Hello, Miss Jeanne, I am Theresa, the granddaughter of Otto Apocalis and a replica of Karen Kaslana........."

..............

The real world, Gao Ge’s live broadcast room.

As the version was updated, Brother Gao immediately started the live broadcast and began to push the plot, and now, it has just been pushed here.

After witnessing the saintly posture of Joan of Arc, or Anna, Gao Ge's eyes widened.

How should I put it? Although Anna has released some skins, for some reason, there has never been a skin for the bride. This is actually a bit special for an old character.

Of course, this Joan of Arc in the saintly posture is not a bride, but it is indeed pure white and very beautiful. It is foreseeable that soon there will be marketing accounts leading the rhythm, saying that it is Anna's bride skin, and then get a wave of traffic.

However, the appearance of this posture, in a sense, also confirms that Joan of Arc may board the ship, and may even meet her in the next version.

When he thought of this, Gao Ge forgot that next, there would be a conflict between the members of their Hyperion and Saint Joan of Arc, and the two were currently in opposition.

I can only say that in the second game, appearance and strength can really affect the player's perception and judgment of a character and a plot.

Of course, this is nothing when applied to the character of Joan of Arc.

After all, the name Joan of Arc itself actually explains a lot about miHoYo's thoughts, or rather, Anna's own thoughts.

How could she allow such a noble saint to become a real evil person and a villain?

But as a being who maintains order, if you want to pass her, you must pass her test and complete the script she wrote!

[Wow, Joan of Arc is so pretty, absolutely stunning, I declare that this is my wife! ]

[Go go go, this is obviously my wife! ]

[Hey, hey, hey, has no one noticed that she is a villain now? ]

【As long as you are brave enough, the villain can take maternity leave. 】

[Tsk tsk tsk! I think you should look at Brother Gao, his eyes are wide open. ]

"Ahem, everyone, please don't slander the anchor. Be careful or I'll send you a lawyer's letter."

When Brother Gao saw the comments, he coughed lightly and suppressed his thoughts. He did lose control of himself in the live broadcast room. This was not right and he reflected on it.

But, she is really beautiful.

Well, all the fun is over, but let’s be serious first.

"I feel that the protagonists have no chance of winning against her. In the previous civilization, a Ruler of Constraints would have required so many lives to be lost, and a powerful person like Kevin would have been needed."

"With the current configuration of the three royal families, even if Yulandel returns with enhanced power, I'm afraid there will be no chance of winning. The gap in strength is too big!"

Gao Ge said seriously.

This is not a joke, but a general conclusion drawn from the current game content. No matter what, the Ruler of Constraint in this generation cannot be a weakling.

Besides, didn’t you see what Joan of Arc was holding?

With these two divine keys, Void Wanzang and Black Abyss Baihua in hand, there is no telling how Joan of Arc can lose. Moreover, Otto is there to back her up.

Otto spent five hundred years to carefully plan this plan, so there is no way there would be any mistakes. No matter how much the captains hate Otto, they will not deny this fact.

Unless... Otto did everything on purpose, there is really nothing we can do.

When it comes to playing tricks, Otto is second to none and no one dares to say he is first. It can be said that the characterization of Otto is quite successful. If Otto's character collapses, then the game would be almost over.

[Do you think it is possible for Jeanne to be recruited? ]

As Gao Ge spoke, the netizens in the barrage also quickly thought about it and raised this question.

"Although, I wish this were the case, it is obviously impossible."

Brother Gao shook his head and denied this statement.

"Think about it for a moment. Don't bring up Joan of Arc. Just think about the French saint. Would she break her promise because of these words? You know, Li Sushang is a person who keeps her promises, so Joan of Arc certainly can't break her promise."

"This is the name, the core of this character. If she is really convinced, do you think this fits the character and is reasonable?"

【really!】

[That's true. Although I really want to see her board the ship, if she boards the ship in this way, I can only call the screenwriter an idiot. ]

[That's the truth, Gao Ge is right. ]

[It’s so funny, a bunch of people playing a crappy second game are still pursuing this kind of rationality, hahahaha——]

............

In fact, it is almost as Gao Ge guessed. As an actor, Joan of Arc, or Anna, still likes to follow the character's personality, which is also the basic quality of an actor.

"I know who you are, Ms. Theresa."

Joan of Arc listened to Theresa's words with a smile and a calm look in her eyes. Well, if she had to say it, she was probably feeling very emotional and even wanted to laugh.

How should I put it? Although she has gone through so many things, Theresa's words and attitude towards others are still the same. This kind of thing is okay when facing sisters Rosalia and Lilia, and it's also okay when facing Amber.

However, facing her, facing someone like Li Suchang, it is meaningless.

We are not children and we don't have our own judgment. Such rhetoric is somewhat too childish.

"I know what I am doing, and I also know what Otto is doing. What he is doing now is just to fulfill his long-cherished wish. It is also beneficial to this world and to you."

Jeanne said calmly.

"Moreover, as far as I know, Mr. Otto has two plans. If you insist on stopping him at the wrong time, then the result you will encounter will definitely not be the best choice."

Joan of Arc was speaking the truth.

Looking into the future, Otto made two preparations, and the second preparation was what the people in front of him knew about, but it was ultimately not realized.

If the collapse must be defeated, based on past trajectories, such strategies and practices, as Kevin commented, are not harmful.

Of course, now that Anna exists, it’s a different story.
