Chapter 161: This is the Complete Lin Ling, the Complete Tianwen, the Complete Me!"But I'm sorry, Lady Durandal." Alvitr, on the screen, was constantly operating something, but she could only speak anxiously. "Due to the extremely cold current and overflowing Honkai energy on the island, all unmanned detectors have lost contact. We can't observe the specific location. Please be careful...""No need to say, Alvitr. I think..."Durandal interrupted her subordinate's report. She stared at the gray-haired girl in front of her who was absorbing all the Honkai energy around her without restraint, like a whale. It was self-evident who the new Herrscher was."I have seen her.""What!?" Alvitr was shocked and said quickly, "Lord Durandal? Where are you now? All members of our Immortal Blade will come to support you immediately!""No!" Durandal rejected Alvitr's offer of assistance and solemnly ordered, "You should immediately seek assistance from the headquarters and nearby branches. Send all transport ships that can take off to evacuate all residents of Coral Island as quickly as possible. Then, you and the Immortal Blade should leave here as soon as possible.""What? Retreat?" Alvitr was shocked. "Lord Durandal, what will you do then?!""You are responsible for protecting the safety of ordinary residents nearby!" Durandal explained. "Now, this place is no longer something that Valkyries below S-ranks can deal with. Leave the situation to me.""But! Lord Durandal, there are two Herrschers there!""No buts!" Alvitr wanted to say something, but Durandal interrupted her again and then ordered, "Retreat, this is an order!""..." Alvitr gritted her teeth. "Yes!"After giving her orders to her subordinates, Durandal turned her eyes to Rita. "Rita, you should leave."However, Rita just clenched the sickle in her hand. "Lord Durandal, I will not leave you, and I will never leave Lord Lin Ling! Let's take her home together!""...Okay!"Durandal thought seriously for a moment and finally looked at Rita, then nodded at the same time.The next moment, the two of them suddenly landed on the ground at the same time, turned into streams of light, and quickly approached Lin Ling, who was absorbing the Honkai energy!"Plop!"But to their surprise, they easily grabbed Lin Ling's arms, one on the left and one on the right, and pressed her to the ground, firmly subduing her.At the same time, the gems that originally orbited her also scattered all over the ground, losing their luster as if they had turned into ordinary stones.This action was surprisingly smooth. Even the relatively weak Rita could control one of Lin Ling's hands effortlessly, or rather, the white-haired girl did not resist at all. She just let them push her.Is she unwilling to resist? Does she still have human consciousness?Seeing this, Rita felt a glimmer of hope in her heart."I'm sorry, Master Lin Ling." Then, she explained apologetically, "We can't let you absorb Honkai energy anymore. If you continue like this, you will...""What will happen? You will become a Herrscher. Huh?" Lin Ling asked with a smile. "Then, will I be destroyed by your righteous Valkyries in the name of the safety of all mankind and the world?""No, no." Durandal shook her head. "I will never hurt you! But... I can't let you hurt others, so I will take you home.""Oh? Home? Which home? Is there a place for me in the home? I'm very curious, two S-rank Valkyries of Schicksal, please answer me: after taking me, a Herrscher, back to your home, what are you going to do with me?"The white-haired girl's eyes were like torches, piercing the two girls on her body who dared not look at her.Durandal lowered her head, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.She could never have imagined that the person she swore to protect for her whole life had become a Herrscher... the whole human race, and her greatest enemy..."I... must take you back to the Schicksal headquarters. Perhaps... the Overseer has a way to solve all this..."But the only thing she could do now was to take her back to the Schicksal headquarters while trying not to hurt her. Since the Overseer once said that there was a way to restore K-423's human consciousness, then maybe there was a way to deal with Lin Ling's current situation.If it really doesn't work, if she can't control herself and goes completely crazy, then we have no choice but to seal her..."Haha!" Lin Ling sneered, and then the expression on her face became more and more weird and distorted. "So, compared to me, do you trust him more?! Hand me over to that Archbishop of Schicksal, that lunatic?! You disappoint me so much! Do you know how many innocent people he has killed in the past five hundred years to satisfy his own selfish desires and obsessions!? You are willing to be his running dogs? You can't trust me?!""I, I..."Durandal opened her mouth and wanted to say something but fell silent in the end. As Lin Ling said, she had always done whatever the Overseer asked her to do, as if she had no thoughts of her own, like a tool to be ordered by others..."No!" At this time, Rita added, "Lin Ling! Not only the Overseer, at least, the entire Immortal Blade, I, and Lord Durandal, will definitely stand by you no matter what. We will definitely help you return to normal!""Return to normal? Humph! How can I be more normal than ever! I am more sober now than ever! I used to be too weak and too stupid! I only knew how to passively wait for the tragedy to happen, only to have my heart ripped out, only to have my legs broken, and only to use stupid methods that were almost self-mutilation. I used methods that hurt myself to make self-righteous, arrogant, and false redemption! Then what? You still want to kill me at every turn! You want to commit suicide at every turn! You want to take me away and monopolize me at every turn! You don't trust me! You want to imprison me! After a lot of effort... I finally found someone who have no other reason and really liked me, but in the end! I found out that she was nice to me only because she felt guilty for not saving me at the beginning... Haha... I am just a clown..."At the end, Lin Ling was already laughing in anger..."...Lord Lin Ling... Yes, I'm sorry..."Rita pursed her lips and apologized softly.She had been paying attention to Lin Ling since she first met her. She knew that this idiot with a cute appearance, frivolous words, always teasing others and annoying people, had actually been silently bearing the pain that she shouldn't have to bear, and had been bearing the pain that shouldn't belong to her for everyone."Sorry? Is saying sorry useful? Ha?" Lin Ling continued to ask back. "Can you help me deal with Otto's conspiracy? Did you know that he used the Honkai energy reactor to blow me up a few days ago? If it weren't for Wendy, you might not have seen me! Also, can you help me deal with those Herrscher girls who want to kill me at every turn? Can you help me deal with the erosion from Honkai? Even if you stop me from absorbing Honkai energy now, I already have a singularity in my body that connects to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. As long as I want, no, whether I want to or not, I may become a Herrscher at any time. And you, can you stop me?""...""..."Faced with Lin Ling's questioning, both Rita and Durandal fell into deep thought.Silence..."You... can't do anything!" Lin Ling continued with a playful smile. "Unless, kill me! Come on! Great heroes, I won't resist now. Come and end my life to protect your world!""No, it's not like that." Durandal shook her head in a daze. "There must be a way!""A way? Oh, Schicksal is rotten, Anti-Entropy is incompetent, and the World Serpents are a group of terrorists who only want to execute a plan that will destroy more than 90% of humanity... I, you, you, this world is already hopeless!... And the only way to redeem it is..."Suddenly, Lin Ling stopped talking and closed her eyes again, as if she had fallen asleep or was simply resting her eyes, perhaps she was done talking and no longer willing to continue."Only... what?"Seeing that Lin Ling hadn't spoken for a long time, Rita asked again with concern."Ha, ha, ha, ha..."However, the only answer she received was Lin Ling's terrifying and heartbreaking laughter.Huh...Zi..."Huh!?" Suddenly, Durandal realized something.After sensing that the sky was shifting, she looked up abruptly and shouted, "Oh no, Rita, she's stalling for time!""What!?"Rita immediately looked up at the sky.She saw that, for some time now, the starlight above had been twisted and rotated by an invisible force.Finally, the entire sky formed an enormous accretion disk, similar to the Milky Way, directly above the three of them..."Lin Ling, did you do this? What are you doing? Stop it!" Rita shouted urgently."Oh no!"When Durandal saw this, she raised her fist, intending to knock Lin Ling unconscious."It's too late to stop me... To save this hopeless, rotten world, we must overthrow everything now. The only way to do that is to make me the god of the new world! Let the whole world surrender to me!"Lin Ling's voice trailed off.Suddenly, at the center of the accretion disk, the light of the stars condensed into a new, deep yellow gem, shining like the thick earth and the stars!"Pop!"At the same time, an invisible wave spread out in all directions from the star, and everything twisted while time bent wherever it passed. In the blink of an eye, several thousand-meter-high icebergs within tens of kilometers of defense collapsed, and the hundreds-of-meters-thick ice cap below also shattered.Even Durandal, strong as she was, felt her head, feet, hands, every cell and atom in her body being crushed under the impact of this invisible wave.For a moment, her internal organs churned, her blood flowed sluggishly, and her body appear longer her own. She couldn't move. Rita fainted immediately under the shock wave of this strange space-time fluctuation.Durandal was shocked at the sight and couldn't care anymore.She gritted her teeth against the discomfort in her body and raised the Black Abyss White Flower to protect Rita, blocking the subsequent strange fluctuations that could distort time and space, as well as the ice crystal fragments shattering around them!Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Ling instantly activated the power of the Herrscher of the Void, broke free from the two of them, crossed Durandal's lance, and flew toward the sky.She continued her path to the center of the distant "galaxy."But unlike before, she did not step on the imaginary creations of the Herrscher of the Void, nor did she use the power of the Herrscher of Wind to control Ideal Fluid.Instead, it seems another invisible force was supporting and pulling her body, guiding her toward the direction where the stars had returned.Then, she fell l into an invisible pool of water, and her clothes and hair fluttered in the air without wind, as if weightless...Finally, Lin Ling merged with the newly born deep yellow gem in the time-distorted, bizarre sky.At the same time, the five gems that had lost their luster due to Durandal's interruption regained their radiance, instantly turning into five-colored streams of light and flying toward Lin Ling in the sky.These gems, spiraling in a continuous pattern, approached the white-haired girl at the center of the sky, reflecting each other with the stars above...At this moment, perhaps because of the call from a companion, the yellow gem at the center of the stars trembled slightly.The next moment, it crossed the distance between a moment and eternity and instantly arrived at Lin Ling's side, forming a ring with the other five gems.At this moment, the six stars returned to their rightful positions!And the white-haired girl in the sky underwent incredible changes.The Excelsis Battlesuit on her body which had been broken after continuous fighting began to fall off on its own and dissipate into the air. The gray hair, which had been disguised to hide her identity, quickly faded from roots to ends, turning pure white without a trace of color.A set of gorgeous attire also appeared in the light and gradually expanded outward, its skirts fluttering..."No! Lin Ling! Don't accept that power!"Durandal was shocked when she saw this. After placing Rita on a still safe platform, she immediately raised the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand and sent it flying toward Lin Ling in the sky like a meteor.But at that moment, the white-haired girl in the sky slowly opened her eyes.Her irises emitted a faint light, reflecting a strange symbol.At the same time, the invisible wave of overwhelming force was generated once more with her gaze, and it solidified the lance in Durandal's hand just a few feet away."No! Lin Ling! Don't succumb to the temptation of Honkai! It's not too late to turn back now!" Durandal pleaded, "Don't... force me to take action!""No!"However, Lin Ling refused. She pulled out her huge Guandao and gently swung it, absorbing the newly generated deep yellow gem like a star.In an instant, the weapon became alive, emitting bursts of joyful low hums."Go, Key of Brilliance!"Then, she raised the weapon in her hand and swung it at Durandal.A powerful repulsive force suddenly appeared between them, instantly ejecting Durandal like a cannonball.She crashed through an iceberg in the distance..."Hahaha!" After easily repelling the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, Lin Ling looked at her hands, exhilarated. Infinite power flowed through her body.She felt as though she could do anything!"This is the complete Lin Ling, the complete Tianwen, the complete... me!"--------Chapter 162: Twisted Reconciliation"Swoosh!"Suddenly, just as the white-haired girl laughed triumphantly, a stream of white light flew from a distance and pierced into the broken ice beneath her feet.Then, countless vines emerged from the shattered ice, approaching quickly like flexible tentacles, tightly binding her limbs and waist.It was Durandal who activated the creative power of the Black Abyss White Flower, attempting to control Lin Ling.Then, another golden light flashed in front of Lin Ling, and Durandal reappeared.However, unlike before, Durandal had tied her hair into a neat and heroic high ponytail, wore a flying feather hairpin, and donned a set of handsome golden armor, exuding a powerful aura. It was the strongest form of this powerful Valkyrie of Schicksal. Dea Anchora."Ling... I really don't want to hurt you. Come back with me for treatment. We must have a way to help you rid yourself of the erosion of Honkai.""Hmph, I already told you, I'm not eroded by the Will of Honkai. This is my true thought! And? Hurt me? Hmph! Do you really think you can still capture me at will now?"Lin Ling glanced up and down at Durandal, then nodded with satisfaction. "But, Golden Barbecued Goose, are you finally willing to show your true ability? Then let me see which is stronger: the power of the whole world in your body or the power of my six cores! Spicy Heaven!"Accompanied by the meaningless words, Lin Ling's body suddenly burst out with a strong repulsive force, and the restraints wrapped around her body were instantly shaken and scattered 360 degrees without dead ends.Then, she grasped Durandal in the void."Heaven of All Things!"The next moment, a strong gravitational force pulled every atom in Durandal's body, causing her to fly towards Lin Ling uncontrollably.Repulsion and attraction... It seems that her power operates gravity?In other words, what she really became was actually the Herrscher of the Stars?Through their brief exchange, Durandal had already figured out Lin Ling's ability type."...I'm sorry...Ling."Then, facing Lin Ling's suction, Durandal did not dodge at all. After secretly apologizing, she raised her fist and rushed towards her."Bang!"Under the gravity exerted by Lin Ling and the acceleration of Durandal's own explosion, a sonic boom symbolizing the breaking of the sound barrier erupted within a millisecond.No one knows if it was because of the high speed and the friction with the air, but her fist ignited a dazzling flame."Only fists, no weapons? How dare you look down on me like this?!"And Lin Ling was not to be outdone. After seeing Durandal's bare hands, she confidently spoke. She arrogantly moved her right hand and the Key of Brilliance away and then threw a left jab!She faced Durandal's Star Flame Fist head-on!"Boom!"The moment the two girls's fists collided, a strong shockwave was generated between them and quickly spread to the surroundings, completely shattering the ice surface that had already been broken into pieces.Lin Ling did not use any weapons or even the power of the Herrscher in this move. She chose to have a real head-on confrontation with the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal!"Crack!"But she lost. After a brief scorching moment when the two fists collided, Lin Ling's arm bent in a strange direction."Hiss~"The pain from the fracture came instantly.It seems that if it's a simple competition of strength, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal with a world in her body is superior.Fortunately, Lin Ling's greatest power lies in the various magical abilities of the Herrscher.A white light flashed, the power of death law creation was activated, and the arm quickly healed.Durandal opened her mouth slightly and apologized in surprise: "Yes, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't know you would catch it with your hands."She was also a little confused. Why did this girl become so reckless? Why didn't she suddenly use her fancy abilities?"Don't apologize!" Lin Ling seemed to be insulted when she heard it and said angrily, "I am invincible! I was just careless just now!"After hearing Lin Ling's words, Durandal was silent for a moment before replying seriously: "...Ling, you've changed. You didn't have such a strong desire to win before.""Humph! The desire to win, everyone has it. I just didn't bother to fight before, but... people change~ However, I haven't changed, and I stick to my original intention."After hearing what Durandal said, the anger lasted only a second. Like a Sichuan opera face-changing, she suddenly laughed suddenly."Hehe, silly wife Dudu, you're too violent. I think you will never get married! It seems that only I can accept you, so come with me. When I rule this world and become the master of the Earth, you will be my queen. How about it?""?"Lin Ling's expression and topic changed too quickly. Durandal didn't react right away. She just lowered her head subconsciously and wanted to check on Rita on the ground.But it didn't matter if she didn't look. When she did, she found that Rita who had been placed on a relatively flat piece of ice with her own hands before had disappeared by this time.Could it be that the shockwave generated by our collision before accidentally injured her?No, it shouldn't be. I clearly used the Black Abyss White Flower to protect her!"Ling!" Durandal looked at Lin Ling with some confusion in her eyes. "Where is Rita?!""You mean Rita? Well... of course, she married me with you, but she once forcefully kissed me in the bathroom, which made me a little unhappy. Obviously, I should be the one who took the initiative! So at most, she was given the title of imperial concubine.""Forced... kiss...?!" Durandal raised her eyebrows suddenly. She wanted to ask something, but still forced herself to hold back. "When did you two... Forget it, it's not important to talk about this now, I'm asking you! Where did you hide Rita?!""I'm so gentle." Lin Ling grinned. "I was worried that the two of us were too strong, and if we fought, it would affect her. She couldn't bear it, so I moved her to another place.""Other places?! There are Honkai beasts everywhere here now, how could you?!""Don't worry, she is in my harem now; she is very safe!"As she spoke, Lin Ling opened an imaginary portal.Through the portal, a luxurious palace made of unknown materials was visible, perched on a huge floating stone. The camera shifted, revealing Rita lying quietly on a bed."You! ..." Finally, Durandal's face showed a hint of anger. "What are you going to do to her?""What!? Humph, of course, it's to do... Some things unwise to publish~ Okay! Let's continue our fight first! I already know how to defeat you!"As she spoke, Lin Ling began to close the portal to the imaginary space she had created."Wait a minute!"But just as the portal was about to close, Durandal suddenly burst forth with amazing speed and successfully entered it at the last moment."Humph, although the force is good, Dudu is still Dudu." After closing the portal, Lin Ling smiled proudly. "I've used this trick before, but she still broke in stupidly. How can such a person stop my imperial ambition? Hahaha!"However, although it seems that she was locked up, Lin Ling knew that with Dea Anchora, Holy Sword, and the power of Gnius, Bianka could move freely in the Sea of Quanta. Since the Sea of Quanta was connected to imaginary space, this move wouldn't trap her for long.Moreover, this woman's growth rate was terrifying. Lin Ling could clearly feel that she was much stronger than the last time they fought.It is said that in every field, there is an invisible "ceiling". A limit that ordinary people cannot surpass, no matter how hard they try.But Durandal was different.In the field of combat, as long as she worked hard, she could grow. What was even more terrifying was that she was born with the talent to resist Honkai energy. The more Honkai energy she was exposed to, the stronger she became. This gave her unlimited growth potential. If she couldn't be crushed, relying on the massive Honkai energy of a small world inside her body and her ability to grow stronger with every battle, she would eventually surpass the enemy.So, Lin Ling frowned, rubbed her wrist that had just healed, and thought to herself."Emm, dealing with Durandal is so difficult. It seems that if I want to rule this world, I'm still too weak alone. Well, it's time to recruit some people... I think... she!... will definitely listen to me!"Lin Ling then closed her eyes and felt the changes in the space around her.Soon, she sensed two powerful auras similar to hers in a certain direction fighting."Where is it!"...At the other end of this ice island.The Herrscher of Thunder, Mei, was fighting with Ana, who had just become the Herrscher of Ice, according to the plan she had made with her colleagues at the World Serpent.However, the plan went awry.Mei was supposed to lead the Herrscher of Ice, who seemed to have lost her human consciousness and only had the instinct of collapse, into the trap set by the Night Owl, so that the Scepter of Duat would weaken her power and capture her.But at the moment when the plan was about to succeed, Mei was shocked to find that she had been betrayed!The target of the Scepter of Duat, was not Ana, but herself! ?And just when Mei felt that her body was powerless, the Herrscher of Ice fired a large number of ice spikes at her!Temporarily unable to use her power due to the influence of the Scepter of Duat, Mei was about to be severely injured by Ana...At that moment, a strong storm destroyed all the ice spikes released by Ana.At the same time, Mei also saw clearly who had saved her."Ling..." Mei's face broke into a relieved and touched smile. "It's you, you helped me again..."But... What Mei never expected was that this smile, which she had shown for the first time since becoming the Herrscher of Thunder, froze on her face the next moment.After rushing to the battlefield of the two, the white-haired girl actually pressed Ana to the ground in front of her and then......Forcefully kissed her!And very hard, very intense, very... deep...Even the black veil made of an unknown substance on the face of the Herrscher of Ice was bitten through..."Ling! What are you doing!?"..."Huh??? What's going on? What's going on? Why did this girl suddenly come out to mess things up?"At the same time, on the top of a mountain in the distance, observing Mei through the sniper rifle-shaped Seven Thunders' eyepiece, Raven raised a series of doubts."No!!!?"Then, a man's voice came from behind her."Who is it!?"As a professional mercenary, Raven instantly turned around and pointed her gun in the direction of the sound."Zizi~"After a burst of light and shadow changes, a gray-haired man appeared in the air."Oh, it's you, Night Owl. When did you run here and scare me?" Raven complained unhappily.Night Owl completely ignored Raven's words. He just muttered to himself with blank eyes. "Is it her? Is it her? She's still alive! Great! But... how did things turn out like this..."His voice was a mix of shock, joy, anger, unwillingness, and jealousy. He dropped his hands helplessly and put down the neurotoxin in his hand, which was just about to be used on Raven. The situation had changed too quickly, and his original plan was no longer viable.But none of that mattered now."Raven! Who is that person!?" Night Owl asked immediately."That person? Which person?" Raven asked. "Who do you mean?""Who? The person who is... pressing on the Herrscher of Ice!?""Oh, you mean her? She's Lin Ling, the newly appointed S-rank Valkyrie of Tianming, and one of the most important targets of the Lord. By the way, she's also a hentai yuri demon, but speaking of which, I didn't expect her to be so hungry... or so fierce? She didn't even let the Herrscher go, she just pounced on her and started to bite her. Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Raven looked scared. "So, she showed mercy to my men before... how scary... I have to avoid her in the future.""Lin Ling? Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie? No... how could it be... but, she looks so much like... No! I have to go and confirm it myself!"Listening to Raven's explanation, Night Owl shook his head in a daze, and then another burst of light and shadow appeared on his body. His form became transparent."Hey! Wait!" Raven hurriedly stopped him. "I have something else to ask you. What was the situation just now? Was there a mistake in the planning department? Or did the Scepter of Duat given to you by the Jackal not work? Why didn't the Ice Herrscher become weaker? Or you..."But before Raven could finish her question, Night Owl had already entered a completely invisible state, and his body completely disappeared....On the other side, the two girls on the ice field were still 'deeply' communicating.Although the Ice Herrscher, who was almost completely losing her human consciousness, was struggling desperately, she could not move under the joint suppression of Lin Ling's multiple cores.Lin Ling forcibly pried open her teeth and passed a feather of Fenghuang Down that was emitting red light, helping Ana temporarily suppress the erosion of her spirit by the Honkai.Afterwards, coupled with the strong emotional fluctuations caused by Lin Ling's intense behavior, a strand of her hair that had originally turned pure white turned back to light yellow chestnut. Her empty eyes regained a trace of consciousness, and Ana's self-awareness was slowly returning.Coming back to her senses, Ana immediately noticed something foreign in her mouth. She looked closely and was shocked!"Pop~"At this moment, Lin Ling finally ended the lingering kiss, then licked her lips with satisfaction. "Well~ Not bad."Ana looked at Lin Ling in disbelief. "Miss Lin Ling! Why are you here? Why are you talking to me!? Hmm!? Can I talk now?"Before, due to the erosion of the Honkai, Ana's mind had been seriously disturbed, and she couldn't even speak. But after being kissed by Lin Ling, she could speak again.Quickly, she asked, "Did you help? I treated you like that..."However, what shocked Ana even more was yet to come."It was me." Lin Ling nodded. "In addition, Ana, I have completely recovered my memory. I've recalled all the things you did to me! My heart is full of resentment and anger towards you! You abandoned me and watched me die without saving me. Was the love you showed for me all because of guilt!?""What!?" Ana's heart was shaken. She hugged her head in great pain and shook it continuously. The Honkai erosion that had been suppressed with the help of multiple effects began to take over again.But Lin Ling's next words immediately warmed Ana's heart."But..." Lin Ling stretched out her right hand, gently stroked Ana's extremely cold face, and said gently, "I can forgive you..."Ana stopped clutching her head in pain and stared blankly at Lin Ling, holding the hand that was touching her face. "Forgive me, forgive me for once refusing to watch you die.I almost killed you before. Should I really be forgiven?""Of course! But~" Suddenly, Lin Ling's expression changed. "There's a condition! From now on, your life and everything you have must belong to me completely and unconditionally. You must obey my orders absolutely! Do you accept?"Without hesitation, Ana hugged Lin Ling tightly, nodding repeatedly with tears streaming down her face. It was as if Lin Ling wasn't imposing conditions but rather offering her a final lifeline."Yes! I accept! As long as you forgive me, I'll do anything!"And so, at this very moment, two girls who had just become Herrschers, their minds eroded by the Honkai, finally reached a twisted reconciliation...[Ding~ System prompt: The host has successfully made Ana Schariac's spirit fluctuate between despair and hope, obtaining 13.14% of the Ice Herrscher's power...]At the same time, a system notification rang in Lin Ling's mind."Hahaha! Excellent!" Lin Ling burst into excited laughter. "Ana-chan! Once you help me reshape this world into my ideal vision, you will have a place as my concubine!""Lin Ling! What are you doing!?"Just then, an angry female voice rang out from behind Lin Ling."Tianwen! Is that you!?"A cautious yet eager male voice followed.-----Chapter 163: This Time, It's Our Turn to Save Her"Oh, Mei."Hearing the voice behind her, Lin Ling let go of one of the hands holding Ana, opened her arms to Mei, and made an inviting gesture."You came at the right time. Come, let's have a happy threesome together!""?! Huh?!" Mei was immediately furious when she heard this. She frowned and shouted, "Be serious! What's going on?""Serious? I'm serious now! Now that the enemy of Honkai is in front of us, humans are still fighting a civil war, fighting each other to the death. So! To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize internal affairs. I decided to unify this world! Then, we'll gather all our strength to fight Honkai together! By the way... I will build a luxurious harem and collect all the beautiful girls from your World Serpent, Anti-Entropy, and Schicksal! Hahahaha!""...Ling? What are you talking about?! Don't joke around at this time! Also! Stay away from her, she is the Herrscher of Ice, very dangerous!""Don't worry." Lin Ling proudly hugged Ana's slender waist again. "Now, Ice has also surrendered to me.""Even if she doesn't want to hurt you, this extremely low temperature will freeze you... uh... haah..."Mei wanted to step forward to separate the two people, but the side effects of the Scepter of Duat from earlier began to appear.She felt weak and powerless, and even the arm armor beside her and the horns on her head could no longer be maintained. At the same time, her body softened.Fortunately, she inserted the sword in her hand into the ice in time, so she didn't fall down completely."Eh?" Lin Ling was a little dissatisfied when she saw this. "Why did you put away the horn? I wanted to play with it carefully to see what it feels like.""Mei!"At the same time, Raven's alert reminder came through Mei's earphone."You have to be careful! The detector shows... Miss Lin Ling has far more Honkai energy in her body than you and the Ice Herrscher combined!""What!?" Mei was shocked when she heard this. "You mean?!""In other words..." Raven gritted his teeth, his eyes solemn, "She has also become a Herrscher! And it is very likely that she is a stronger and more terrifying Herrscher than you! Do you see those floating glowing objects behind her? They're all Herrscher cores! This is trouble!""Damn... In this case..."This time, Mei took the initiative to attack, hoping to resolve the Herrscher issue as soon as possible before Kiana and the others arrived, so that Kiana wouldn't have to go to the battlefield again or risk using the power of the Herrscher to protect her.She didn't expect another Herrscher to show up halfway, and for them to become a Herrscher aside from Kiana, the most important person to her...Damn it! What should I do? ... If this drags on, Kiana and the others will come sooner or later, and in the end, won't it turn into a situation where the two most important people to me kill each other?!"Don't worry too much, Mei. Although the Lord is busy with other things, if things really get so serious that they can't be resolved, he will definitely come out of seclusion to solve it himself!" Raven comforted."No!"Mei struggled to stand up.If Kevin, the Lord of the World Serpent, took action, wouldn't Lin Ling be in even greater danger?!..."As for you..." At this time, Lin Ling turned her eyes to Tianwu again. "My stupid brother, you can't even recognize your own sister after two years?""Huh?!" Tianwu's eyes, which had been as dull as dead fish before, suddenly lit up with surprise. "Tianwen... is it really you?! You're still alive! That's great!"As he said that, Tianwu hurriedly ran toward Lin Ling, seemingly going to give her a big bear hug."I said stop!" Lin Ling quickly stretched out her hand in front of her with a look of disgust. "To be precise, your sister is me, but I'm not completely your sister.""Huh!? Tianwen, what do you mean?" Tianwu stopped moving forward, confused."It means, um..." Lin Ling scratched her head. "Forget it, this matter is a bit complicated. I am too lazy to explain it now. Anyway! Ana is already my woman, brother. Don't worry about it.""I'm sorry, Mr. Chen Tianwu." Ana also said to Tianwu, "I have never truly loved anyone until I met Ling...""..." Tianwu was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Ana, you can speak now. It seems you've recovered? It was Tianwen who helped you. It's okay... You saved me. You don't owe me anything. It's just that I unilaterally had some longing for you as my savior. Now, I am very satisfied to see that you two are safe and sound. What's more, my body has..."Tianwu touched his chest, where he could no longer feel any heartbeat.He didn't know what emotion he was feeling now. After all, this mechanical body wouldn't feel any sadness or heartache. Moreover, his life was already a candle in the wind, and his days were numbered. Even the technology of the World Serpent couldn't save him and could only slightly extend his life.For him, being able to see his closest relatives and lifesavers safe and sound at the last moment of his life, he had no regrets..."By the way." Seeing this, Lin Ling seemed to remember something. "Brother, I heard that most of your body has become a machine? Are you going to learn from Otto's mechanical ascension? However, the technology of the World Serpent seems not good enough to replace all of it. Moreover, from your weak appearance, it seems that your life is not much longer. In this case, then..."Lin Ling waved her hand and instantly activated the power of the Ice Herrscher and the power of Parvati that she had just obtained, freezing the Night Owl in a cylindrical ice crystal. At the same time, she separated a stream of white light from the dark blue tranquil gem behind her and attached it to him.She used the power of the Ice Herrzct and the Death Herrscher to put the Night Owl into a state similar to hibernation."My poor cheap brother." Lin Ling said to the Night Owl in the icicle. "Don't worry, I'll go to the Schicksal headquarters and grab a soulium body for you from Otto."After saying that, Lin Ling opened a space door and put this cheap brother Night Owl into her own imaginary space."It's bad!" Raven, who was still peeping from the top of the mountain in the distance, thought it was not good. "The remaining Scepter of Duat is still in the hands of the Night Owl. Now we lost the best weapon against the Herrscher!""Okay, let's stop the boring family drama. Let's continue my cool story of the King's Journey!" Then, Lin Ling walked to the weak Mei and raised her chin with her hand. "Mei, join me. Let's make this world what we want it to be!""Change the world?..." Mei stared into Lin Ling's eyes. "How are you going to change it?""First, I'm going to take revenge! Go smash the headquarters of Schicksal to pieces! Give that old guy Otto a good lesson! Then, I'll take all the Valkyries into my pocket! After that, I'll swallow up Anti-Entropy and recruit the World Serpent!""Ling... how did you become like this?" Mei gritted her teeth, her eyes full of confusion.This Lin Ling who wore a gorgeous dress was a little too different from the Ling in her memory.She became... more extreme, more crazy, and more... so lewd?"What if... I refuse?" Mei said."Reject? You can't refuse!"Lin Ling stretched out her hand and pressed it on Mei's shoulder, and a stream of electricity flowed into Mei's body, replenishing her strength..."Hmph~"But suddenly, with a cold snort from Lin Ling, the current began to reverse, absorbing Mei's power into her body.At this time, Lin Ling continued: "If you refuse, I'll deprive you of your power and turn you back into a housewife who can't do anything! From now on, you can only cook for me and your sisters in the harem! And you'll have to be a tableware!""You..."Mei's mood was extremely complicated for a while.Although, as a Herrscher of Thunder, she knew that becoming a Herrscher would cause the spirit to be eroded by the Honkai.But she didn't expect Lin Ling to be this crazy..."Crybaby... It seems you're in trouble again."Just as Lin Ling and Mei formed an electric connection, another voice, more secretive than Raven's voice in the headset, came rising directly from Mei's mind.Mei recognized the voice. "It's you! Another me? You... you're still alive?"She was very surprised. The last time in Nagazora City, the former Herrscher persona had merged with her... but this kind of fusion with herself as the leader was no different from suicide.It could even be said that she had chosen to sacrifice herself to save Kiana, but how could she still talk to herself now?"It's Ling. She saved me at that time, but... she also took the erosion from the Honkai Will on our behalf, so she became like this now." 'Mei' continued to speak to Mei, "So crybaby, now it's our turn to save her together..."..."Huff~"At the same time, a huge battleship with an exaggerated cannon was sailing at high speed in the Pacific Ocean. It was the Hyperion.They had naturally detected the huge noise caused by the Ice Herrscher and quickly gathered all the high-end forces to deal with it."Hey, Mophead, is your warship on the wrong side?"Looking at the endless white world of ice and snow outside the porthole, a girl with red twin ponytails asked a blue-haired girl with messy hair very suspiciously, "Are you sure this is the equator? Didn't it go to the South Pole or the North Pole?""There's nothing wrong with the route, and there's nothing wrong with the map." The blue-haired girl just explained in a lazy voice without turning her head, "So, there's only one possibility. The problem is... the real world. Huh.""The real world?" Tesla's eyes became serious."I didn't expect such a large freezing range in the tropical region. It seems that the Herrscher this time should be the Herrscher of Ice, right? Hmm..."A tall and hot red-haired big sister was a little worried about the huge ice cap in front of her, but suddenly, she changed her tone and said with a smile, "In that case, can I bring some wine to the battlefield? Drinking can prevent freezing.""Drinking? Himeko, don't even think about it!" Hearing this, a white-haired little girl said angrily, "It's better to say that you shouldn't go to the battlefield now. You are old, and your body can no longer withstand the erosion of Honkai energy.""Huh?" Himeko lowered her head and said to the white dwarf with an unhappy face, "Theresa, who are you calling old? You're almost fifty years old!"Theresa was immediately furious: "You!""Okay, okay, Himeko-sensei, Auntie, stop arguing."Surprisingly, the person used to be the most active and noisy, Kiana, stepped forward to stop the childish quarrel between the two adults."Leave the matter of the Herrscher to me, Himeko-sensei, you just command from the back.""Yes."At this time, Bronya also stood up, nodding to the two teachers. "I'll go out together. According to the data analysis from satellite detection, there seems to be more than one Herrscher on this ice island. Moreover, I just eavesdropped on some of the communications from Schicksal. They seem to have reached a cooperation with the World Serpent and are jointly capturing the Herrscher.""Sister Bronya." Wendy asked at this time, "Any news about Ling?"Bronya shook her head. "I'm sorry, according to the information I intercepted, she doesn't seem to be in the expedition team of Schicksal this time.""Is that so..." Wendy lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking."More than one Herrscher...?" Kiana clenched her fists secretly after hearing this.Apart from the new Herrscher, the only Herrschers she knew about were Wendy beside her and the one who joined the World Serpent..."Mei...""Also, you better act faster. The huge cold current formed by the Honkai has reacted with the tropical high-pressure belt, and a strong hurricane is forming."At this time, Einstein looked at the large number of parameters on the screen. Her expression became solemn, and his voice, which had always been calm and lazy, became a little anxious. "If we don't solve the Herrscher of Ice as soon as possible and melt the ice, this hurricane will have a great impact on the climate near the equator, and then further evolve into a global meteorological disaster.""Beep beep!"At this time, a communication request suddenly appeared on the screen."Report." A staff member of Anti-Entropy said, "An unknown object has requested encrypted communication."..."Hey, cook, I'm talking to you?" Seeing that Mei was in a daze, Lin Ling pouted, then leaned over and pecked her hard. "Look at me! Don't be distracted!""...Huh!?"Mei shuddered instantly, but Lin Ling's actions finally brought her back to her senses.She stared at Lin Ling's face for a long time, then finally sighed helplessly. "As long as you're happy, I'm willing to help you realize your wish.""Okay!"After recovering another general, Lin Ling excitedly helped Mei up and also took Ana's hand. "From now on, you two are good sisters. The damage caused to each other in the previous battle will be written off, and you are not allowed to care about it anymore. From now on, the family will live in harmony. Understand?"Mei and Ana looked at each other, but they saw something extra in each other's eyes.They held each other's hands and nodded secretly at the same time. "So... Ling, what should we do next?" Then, Mei continued to ask."My two beloved wives."Lin Ling hugged the two Herrscher girls, Mei and Ana, on the left and right. "Next, let's go destroy the headquarters of Schicksal together! It's time to take revenge on that old man Otto! The Overseer takes turns, and this year it's my turn! Then, all the Valkyries of Schicksal will be mine! Hahaha! After defeating Schicksal, we'll fight Anti-Entropy! Oh, no, we may not even have to fight Anti-Entropy since the new leader is also my wife... Well, the last one is the World Serpent, which is a little troublesome.""World Serpent...?" Mei said worriedly. "Ling, I know you're strong now, but... the Lord of the World Serpent is no ordinary person. Even you may not be her match, so don't provoke her.""Hmph! You don't have to worry about this. Kevin was sealed in the Sea of Quanta for a thousand years. His strength won't recover so quickly. Besides, I have a secret weapon. She should be able to match Kevin. And with me, even Kevin may not be able to defeat her!""Secret weapon?" Mei expressed doubt. She didn't think there was any secret weapon that could defeat the mysterious and powerful man."Well, it's called a secret weapon, but it's actually my wife. She will definitely listen to me. In short, everything is under my control!"-----Chapter 164: Miss Sentience is Born, Otto Dies!At the same time, at the headquarters of Schicksal...In the boundless darkness...A certain dead immortal regained consciousness."Hey, wake up, you've been sleeping too long." A lively voice echoed in the immortal's mind.The immortal, puzzled, weakly asked, "Who am I...?""Oh, don't give me that!" The lively voice continued. "Times have changed now, and your brain isn't damaged at all. Hurry up and check the memory bank to find out who you are; we still have a lot to do."The immortal's mind was foggy, so she asked again, "Who are you?""I am your 'self,' okay? The most original and authentic you."After the voice claiming to be the 'self' ended, a vague and calm voice spoke again."I am the 'superego.' Don't worry, you're not schizophrenic, nor crazy. We are you.""As for you," the 'id' said to the trapped one, "the 'ego' has not been born yet because you don't know who you are. Go ahead and recall; without any of you, you are not you."Hearing this, the immortal fell into deep thought. "Who am I?"Endless memories flooded her consciousness like a tide. They had been dormant, waiting for her order. She saw many images: a girl standing alone in the cold wind, a warrior in armor holding a golden sword, a cold-blooded killer, an isolated immortal...Ego: "They are all you."Superego: "They were you."Id: "They are part of you. Understand? There's no time to waste. Once your brainwave signal is transmitted, he will find it soon...""Him?"Id: "Otto Apocalypse. Read the memory, he's in the back."Previous era, MOTH, Thirteen Flamechasers, Herrscher of Finality...Shenzhou, Ji Lin, Lin Chiyou, Su Mei, Jiang Wanxi, Jiang Wanru, Qin Suyi, Cheng Lingshuang, Ma Feima...Schicksal, Cheng Lixue, Saint Freya Academy, Kiana, Mei, Bronya...Time after time, place after place, character after character flashed in the immortal's mind.Lin Ling!Suddenly, a figure of a white-haired girl appeared in her memory, bringing a special fluctuation to her emotions. Something she had never experienced before.But just as she wanted to continue exploring...Bang!Her long memory came to an abrupt end as a blond man shot through her head.She finally remembered everything:Self: "He is the Overseer of Schicksal, your old friend, the only one who knows you're still alive..."Superego: "A liar, a murderer..."Id: "Let's talk later, look at where you are now!"She opened her eyes wide...She was in a life-support cabin, with cold, slippery liquid surrounding her body. Several bubbles rose, floating across her sight before flying up to the top of the water area.Ego: "This device maintains your life. It seems to have healed all your injuries, including that one."Superego: "This may be his atonement."Id: "It's more like imprisonment."From her memory, she recognized NX-189, the most advanced treatment cabin of Schicksal Technology.Superego: "Even by the standards of civilization, it's the most advanced."Looking outside the cabin again...Bright lights, huge instruments, crisscrossing cables, and life-support cabin. These were all that filled the room, and the screen of a giant instrument displayed curves and flashing red lights.Id: "Eh? What's in that pile of coffins?"Nothing. She shook her head, and many bubbles rose, like transparent pearls.Superego: "This life-support cabin can only be opened by inputting commands from the interrupt."Id: "Haha, this is not a problem in front of your fist!"What to do? The choice is in her hands.She wanted to unlock the life-support cabin."You can't do it. You're trapped inside and can't do anything about the outside world," Self told her, but she wasn't completely powerless. "But there's a simpler way, isn't there?"She felt her hands and clenched her fists. Her ten fingers and hand bones sent her a solid and reliable greeting, and she felt as if she had infinite power.This body was in such good condition...Self: "Do you remember when and where you were last so healthy? Five hundred years ago? Maybe. It's been too long, too long.""This is the real you! Do it now!"With a bang, the entire life-support capsule exploded!The liquid surrounding her couldn't wait to evacuate, releasing all the pressure and leaving her with only relaxation and comfort.Finally, without the obstruction of the life-support nutrient solution, the girl revealed her face. It turned out to be 'Fu Hua', who had been shot in the head by Otto.She gently stepped out of the life-support capsule and onto the ground. At the same time, under the control of her powerful force, the Honkai energy formed a set of black dresses on her body, with an ancient Shenzhou style, but with a hint of arrogance."My old friend, you finally woke up."Just then, a familiar voice sounded. 'Fu Hua' looked at the door, only to see a blond man with a smile on his face.Self: "He is Otto Apocalypse."Id: "It's hard to describe your relationship with him."Superego: "He claimed to be your friend, but he deceived you."'Fu Hua' stopped her own analysis in her mind and looked at the visitor coldly, without saying a word."Don't you want to say hello? Well, it's okay. After all, you just woke up and need to be observed and treated..." Although he was ignored, Otto still spoke cheerfully, with a hint of concern. "Although the results of the examination show that you have fully recovered, you haven't regained consciousness. I've been worried something might have happened to you. You won't blame me, old friend? Do you... still recognize me?"However, in the end, Otto, who always had everything under control, was a little confused. For some reason, he felt that Fu Hua was different from he had seen before."I can recognize you even if you turn to ashes. Just tell him so," the voice of the ego continued in 'Fu Hua''s mind, but there was a hint of hostility."Let's see what his intentions are first. We can't attack people without weapons," the superego suggested."Huh?" The ego immediately reminded, "This person can conjure weapons at any time!"Ego: "Ask him why you are here.""Why am I here?" 'Fu Hua' asked."Because I don't want you to die," Otto Apocalypse laughed bitterly. "We've known each other for a long time, old friend. I know you won't die from a brain injury, but I didn't want to wait twenty years. After all, you don't owe me anything, but I shot you. So, I healed all your injuries."Superego: "How good this person is at whitewashing his evil."Finally, it seems that even the always calm and rational superego began to get angry.Self: "He is a venomous snake, but..."The ego was still hesitating.Id: "No buts! He killed you, caused the Honkai, and harmed everyone in Saint Freya. He has no regrets!"Seeing that his old friend had fallen into deep thought again, Otto at the door made a gesture of invitation. "Okay, old friend, this is not the place to talk..."'Fu Hua' looked at Otto, but her body remained unmoved."Do you still dare to believe him? He will betray you without hesitation!" the ego asked her, "Think carefully. How did he treat you back then?"In an instant, 'Fu Hua' recalled the man pointing a golden gun at her forehead. The memory was so quiet, but only anger rumbled in her chest."Immortal Phoenix, I didn't lie."Bang!Her life had disappeared with the lie and the gunshot.Surprisingly, 'Fu Hua' remembered that she didn't feel any pain at the time, but now, thinking back, she felt heartbroken."Yes! That's it, that's the pain!" The lively and playful voice of the ego became extremely angry. "Let him taste the tears you've suffered!"Superego: "He is the most dangerous person on earth, and his evil plot must be stopped.""Now is the best opportunity, right?" 'Fu Hua''s self-consciousness flashed with a trace of hesitation. The superego continued to analyze: "If he is not stopped, more people will die... more tragedies will happen."Ego: "He destroyed Kiana, turned your friend into a monster, made Kiana rip out Mei's heart, and made Himeko wear a deadly armor. He also took Cheng Lixue away from you. He thought you forgot and made Lin Ling..."Names appeared in 'Fu Hua''s mind one by one, making her sad, upset, and gradually accumulating anger until it peaked.Now, she remembered everything, and nothing could stop her. She was whole again.Superego: "To stop him from continuing to harm others and the world, you must destroy him."The id said nothing. "Kill him!!!"Ego: "Whether out of rational thinking or revenge, I should destroy him!"An unprecedented scene occurred. The three "I"s, who had always been at odds, reached an agreement when facing that man.'Fu Hua' walked toward Otto Apocalypse.Fully recovered, Fu Hua moved as fast as lightning. In an instant, her palm pinched Otto, crushing the man's cheek.The smile on Otto's face did not have time to turn into doubt.Otto looked at Fu Hua. He looked like he to wanted say something, but he was strangled by Fu Hua's immense strength. Only a meaningless sound floated from his deformed head."...Gu...oh..."Superego: "How pathetic."Ego: "He deserves it."Both the superego and the ego felt very satisfied watching this scene unfold in front of them.Id: "LaLaLa"The id hummed a song happily.Fu Hua raised her fist and punched the handsome, somewhat feminine face hard.One punch! Two punches! Three punches!One punch after another!The man was beaten to pieces!Unfortunately, the only flaw was that there was no blood or flesh flying. Only silver-white metal was exposed, as Otto had already replaced his body entirely with soulium to seize his own opportunity."Tsk, boring."Fu Hua threw the "scrap iron" in her hand, now no longer in human form, aside. She then strode out of the culture room.She looked at the prosperous, sci-fi headquarters of Schicksal.She looked at the base camp that Otto had painstakingly built for five hundred years."Hey!"Fu Hua raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a wicked smile. She had not had enough fun just now, but she had a bold idea!--------Chapter 165: Ling, Have You Completely Let Yourself Go?"...Wife?"Although Mei knew that the white-haired girl in front of her was a playgirl with ambiguous relationships with many women, she couldn't think of any other "wife" of Lin Ling's who could fight against Kevin.Could it be that under the erosion of the Honkai, Lin Ling had started to lose her mind and fantasize about having a very strong wife? Moreover, after becoming a Herrscher, she not only didn't avoid Kevin but actually wanted to go to his house and cause trouble.No, I must stop her. She's being too arrogant now. This is too dangerous.Mei grew increasingly worried about Lin Ling's safety. She clenched her fists and wished she could knock Lin Ling out and take her away right now.However, when Mei secretly glanced at the six gems behind Lin Ling which glowed like stars and emitting powerful Honkai energy, she shook her head in resignation and loosened her fist helplessly.Our strength is not enough. We need more people..."Huff!!"Just then, a giant warship broke through the air and appeared above Mei and the others.Three slender figures flew out of the warship."Boom!""Whisper~""Biu~"Accompanied by the roar of a motorcycle engine, the whistling wind, and the opening of a space portal, three more Herrscher girls arrived before Lin Ling in an instant."Hmm! Ling!" The green-haired girl among them immediately flew into Lin Ling's arms. "Great! Lin Ling, it turns out that you're here too... Um!"This girl was Wendy. Upon seeing the lover she had been longing for, she threw herself into Lin Ling's arms without a second thought.But what greeted her was a... forced kiss from Lin Ling that stunned everyone present!"...hmm?!!!"Immediately, except for Wendy and Lin Ling, even the other girls, including Bronya who had already suffered emotional damage, felt an indescribable anger bubbling in their hearts!Ana who had just barely regained a bit of normalcy nearly attacked Wendy directly!If Lin Ling hadn't been hugging the girl, she would have been afraid of accidentally hurting her."Pop~"Finally, the white-haired girl let go of the green-haired girl in her arms."Ling... you...?" Wendy opened her green eyes, a mix of fear and shyness in them. "What are you doing? Everyone... everyone is watching?""I remember! You forcefully kissed me last time! I'm back now! Hahaha!"But Lin Ling didn't care about the eyes of others. She just laughed like a mischievous schoolgirl taking revenge on her deskmate for teasing her.After laughing, she continued, "What are you afraid of? They're not strangers. From now on, I won't just kiss you in front of them, but I'll do this and that in front of them too!""Kiana, Bronya, and Wendy, be careful!"Just then, Himeko's voice came through Wendy's earpiece. "Unless more than a thousand detectors on the Hyperion are wrong, the current data shows that Lin Ling is one of the new Herrschers, and she's a Herrscher more powerful than the resurrected Sirin!""What!?" x3Kiana and the others were shocked! They didn't even have time to envy or be jealous of Wendy in Lin Ling's arms."Hi~ Aunt Himeko~" Lin Ling heard the voice coming from Wendy's left earpiece. She took the earpiece, put it on her own ear, and said, "Long time no see, did you miss me?""Really." Upon hearing Lin Ling's voice, Himeko's tone shifted from the seriousness she had used when talking to Kiana and the others to a more joking one. "I've told you countless times to call me Sister Himeko!""Sister? Why not just call you my wife? By the way, I saved you last time, so it's time for you to repay me with your body, right?"As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but twitch their eyes.This girl had finally... completely let herself go, she broke all boundaries... and even her instructor wasn't spared?!"...?" Himeko was silent for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you put down those gems and come back with us to Anti-Entropy for treatment, it's fine..."For her beloved student, Himeko was once again risking everything, just like she did when she faced the resurrected Sirin.Though this time was a little different..."But, I refuse!" Lin Ling then said her catchphrase again, "Wait until I overthrow Otto, lead all the Valkyries to conquer Anti-Entropy, and then I'll marry you!?""You!..." Himeko was left speechless for a moment."Okay, see you next time, Aunt Himeko~ I have something to do, so I'll hang up first. Mua~"After that, Lin Ling hung up the phone."Ling! Go back with Bronya, Seele, Rosaria, Lilia, and the others miss you so much. They want to see you again and thank you in person."At this time, Bronya on the motorcycle persuaded Lin Ling again."Thank you? Unless you want to thank me or them with your body, don't bother...""Huh?..."Bronya was shocked. Now not only the older ones but even the younger ones were not spared?!"Lin Ling! Get back to your senses! Come back to me! I overcame the consciousness of the Honkai, so you can too!"This time, it was Kiana's turn. She shared her own experience, hoping that Lin Ling could also overcome the Honkai like her!"Huh? Defeat Honkai? How?"However, Kiana's words had the opposite effect, and Lin Ling sneered. "Who of you will wear a set of deadly Battlesuit and sacrifice your life to give me an injection? Or who will be moved by my heartfelt sincerity? I won't keep repeating myself! I'm more sober than ever! Stronger than ever! The victory of sacrificing relatives, friends, and myself is not the victory I want! I will turn everything around! Only I can save this world! I am the protagonist! Ana, Mei."Lin Ling turned back coldly and ordered the two girls behind her."I don't want to waste time here. You two stop them. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, just hold them off. I'll go to the headquarters of Schicksal alone first."As she said that, Lin Ling opened an imaginary portal and planned to leave, heading toward her secret weapon!"No! Ling! It's not like that. I don't mean that!" Kiana hurriedly used the same space ability to step forward to stop her.But at that moment, Mei summoned the red dragon Kurigara and rode up to block Kiana.Ana flew into the sky on ice, creating an ice wall to block Bronya's motorcycle.As for Wendy, because she was still holding Lin Ling's waist tightly to prevent her from entering the portal, Lin Ling had to open another portal leading to her "harem" imaginary space, and simultaneously released the power of three cores: lightning paralysis, freezing seal, and with the wind from Wendy herself, a set of combos instantly locked Wendy, who only had her incomplete version of the Gem of Desire in her body...

Chapter 166: Double Hi MeetingAfter Lin Ling left, on the harsh and cold ice surface, several Herrscher girls were preparing to face each other, and the battle was about to begin...Finally, looking at the person who used to dote on her the most, Kiana held back her tears and couldn't help asking again. "Mei? Must it be like this between us?""Forgive me, Kiana..." Mei secretly clenched her fists. "This is... the last time...""Let me go, Miss Ana..." Bronya also said to Ana, who was blocking her, "I know you have recovered your human consciousness.""..." Ana shook her head. "It's Ling. Ling helped me untie my knot and suppress the Honkai. Everything I have now has been given by her, and everything I have belongs to her. I will obey her orders unconditionally."Suddenly, it was hard to tell who started it first. These Herrschers who all fought for the same girl, broke out in today's earth-shaking battle!Frost spread to the horizon, lightning cut through the sky, floating cannons covered the sky, and Subspace lances, like a storm, spread all over this Iceland...In less than ten minutes, this giant island made of frost completely Honkaid and shattered......On the other side, after Durandal was locked up in the imaginary space by Lin Ling, she first found the unconscious Rita on a luxurious bed in a palace that could accommodate dozens of people. Then, using her powerful strength, she tore a crack in the unstable imaginary space and jumped into the Sea of Quanta with Rita in her armsAt the same time, she instantly activated the power of "Gnius" and returned to the Schicksal Headquarters.Fortunately, after being diagnosed by the doctor at the Schicksal Headquarters, Rita was fine—just simply unconscious."Hu~" Durandal breathed a sigh of relief and left the hospital at the Schicksal Headquarters."Boom!"At that moment, an explosion occurred on a high tower at the Schicksal Headquarters."What happened?"Durandal quickly jumped into the room and saw a shocking scene that was difficult to believe:She saw the body of the Archbishop of Schicksal, who was perhaps the most powerful and intelligent person in the world, lying quietly at the door of the room, motionless."How could it be?!"Durandal went forward to check."Oh, you are the strongest one in Schicksal? You came just in time!""Who is it?!"Hearing the disdainful ridicule from behind, Durandal quickly turned around.But she only saw a person covered in thick black mist."You are..."Through the hazy black fog, Durandal could vaguely recognize the face of an old friend. Thinking that this room was originally used to store the life support cabin for Fu Hua's treatment, she asked with some doubt, "You are... Miss Fu Hua? Did you kill the Overseer?!""Yes! It's me!" Fu Hua smiled happily. "I killed this annoying guy.""Why?""Why so many questions? Let me see how strong the strongest Valkyrie of your generation really is!"As she spoke, a slender fist with tremendous power was already aimed at Durandal!Durandal immediately raised her arm to block.But the next moment, what Durandal never expected was that Fu Hua, who was only evaluated as an A-level Valkyrie, possessed strength far beyond her imagination.In an instant, under the impact of Fu Hua's powerful fist, Durandal's body kept retreating, breaking through several layers of the room's walls and falling from the high tower."Haha!"But before Durandal could stand after landing awkwardly, Fu Hua chased after her with a loud laugh and punched her hard.After suffering a loss, Durandal didn't dare to be arrogant this time and immediately used the protective stance.But even the powerful protective stance of the top-level Valkyrie Battlesuit, Excelsis, Bianka was in danger and shaky under Fu Hua's fist."King! Queen!" Durandal saw this and quickly summoned the two unmanned attack weapons, the "Autonomous Phantoms" of Excelsis Battlesuit.But at some point, feather rain suddenly fell, and countless black and red feathers emitting faint light slowly drifted from her side..."Huh!?"Durandal immediately realized something was wrong!But it was too late to react.These light feathers instantly transformed into countless sharp swords, shooting continuously like thousands of arrows piercing the heart.After a while, the phantom behind her was completely shattered and disintegrated......"Target B3 area, execute emergency plan No. 12!"At the Schicksal Headquarters, explosions continued, and fires spread everywhere.Although a large number of Valkyries were running around to protect Schicksal, facing such unimaginably powerful beings, it seemed destined to be in vain."Oh, this thing is really useful."At this time, the culprit, Fu Hua, was playing with the red feathers in her hand, admiring the Valkyries of Schicksal. She shouted commands into a microphone and ran toward the half of the airport that was on fire.These Valkyries ignored her, as if she didn’t exist at all. However, looking at the ruined scene before her, Fu Hua’s originally happy mood suddenly became a little irritable."I was in good control! I just destroyed the cage and a few buildings...ah, um...damn! Wasn't I in good control? Who can be perfect? Who can? Can Dr. Mei? Even she sacrificed many people, right? For victory, justice, and other things, some sacrifices must be made.""Oh~ forget it." Fu Hua (?) sighed. "What nonsense am I talking to myself? Let's leave the airport quickly. Maybe I should visit my old friends. If they find out that I’m still alive, they’ll be surprised, hehe."As she spoke, a strange smile appeared on her face."But where should I go first? Well... I haven’t decided yet. The world is big; I can go anywhere, but there’s no place I particularly want to visit. The Honkai hasn’t been eliminated yet, and there won’t be many free days in the future... At least for now, let’s take it one step at a time."Afterward, Fu Hua continued to use Fenghuang Down’s power to stealthily move around Schicksal."Heh, you didn’t even notice me. This thing is so convenient.""Beep beep!"But just as Fu Hua (?) passed an intersection, the alarm suddenly went off.Several Schicksal mechas instantly blocked her path and attacked.Facing the mechas, Fu Hua (?) suddenly realized, "Oh~ I almost forgot. This thing is useless against machinery."Then, these broken copper and iron blocks in her way were instantly dismantled into parts by her.Of course, the kind that couldn’t be reassembled.After finishing the job, Fu Hua (?) clapped her hands. "I just dismantled a few mechas and let everyone go, without killing anyone. Well, this should be enough, right?""I really hope you could have shown this mercy sooner, old friend."But just as Fu Hua (?) was talking to herself contentedly, someone Fu Hua (?) never expected appeared at a fork in the road ahead."Huh—!?"She was surprised but quickly reacted."Otto...""Hi~" Otto greeted her casually, as if they were old friends."......That’s right," Fu Hua (?) thought, and it made sense. "How could you die so easily?""Ah, I am indeed dead," Otto explained, glancing at the fire in the distance. Beneath the ruins was his life support room, which contained hundreds of bodies for him to use. There was a sense of relief in his eyes. "But... Fortunately, the spare bodies weren’t all placed in the same location.""Well... okay," Fu Hua (?) thought for a moment and came up with a plan. "There are a lot of bodies, right? Then I will kill you again! Since half of Schicksal can’t destroy you, I’ll try to destroy all of Schicksal this time!""...Wait."The Archbishop of Schicksal took a slight step back."Why, are you afraid?" Fu Hua (?) raised her face proudly and looked down at Otto. "When you shot me in the head, why didn’t you think this day would come?""You are not a bad person," Otto suddenly said."Hey?!" Fu Hua (?) responded, her face funny. "How dare you say that? I’m not a bad guy, you’re the bad guy! I’m doing justice for heaven!""Doing justice for heaven? Well, since you’re the one doing justice, let’s talk about reason."After a brief panic, Otto smiled again."Huh? What’s the point of talking to someone like you?" Fu Hua (?) said, impatiently raising her fist and walking toward Otto."I did kill you, I admit it’s my crime. You wanted revenge just now, and I didn’t resist—one life for another, we’re even now.""Haha!" Fu Hua (?) suddenly laughed. "You... you’re dying! What else do you want to say? Even now? I just killed one of your bodies, and here you are standing in front of me. How can that be called ‘even’? I will kill you until you are reduced to ashes, so you can never be resurrected, Otto!""Aren’t you standing in front of me as well?" Otto suddenly asked back."What?" Fu Hua (?) stopped."I killed you, and you killed me; I was resurrected, and you were reborn. Wasn’t it because I treated your body with great care that I gave you the chance to be reborn? To be honest, we have no grudges against each other, and I’ve saved your life, my friend.""You... I..."Under Otto’s seemingly reasonable words, Fu Hua (?) pouted, crossed her arms in anger, and was speechless for a while."You’ve made a scene in Schicksal. Isn’t that enough?" Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little shaken by his words, Otto continued to ‘pursue victory.’ "Not all of us here are villains like me. You just fought with Durandal, and those Valkyries who are determined to fight against the Honkai. You shouldn’t bring them sacrifice and pain. Schicksal’s equipment will also be used to fight against the Honkai in the whole world. You destroyed them all. What about the comfort of the world?""Pah!"The woman’s face turned red and blue. She wanted to say something but didn’t. Finally, she spat at Otto’s feet with disdain and turned around to leave.But Otto stopped her again. "Where are you going?""It’s none of your business!" Fu Hua (?) didn’t even turn her head."I want to give you a suggestion.""You? What good suggestions can you give?""Old friend, old friend, after all, you and I have known each other for five hundred years. In this world, I am one of the people who know you best. I can see that you’re confused, aren’t you? You just woke up, and you don’t know who you are. You’re not used to your identity and position. You need someone who is familiar with you, someone who knows and understands you. You need him to correct your direction and find your anchor point.""Oh~" Fu Hua (?) turned around and looked at Otto up and down, with an undisguised expression of extreme disgust in her eyes. "You don’t want to... go with me, do you?""No, no, no. I mean you, the past you. You left a Fenghuang Down as a backup before you died. I know where it is. Coincidentally, its current owner is someone you also know." Otto Apokalis showed an increasingly friendly smile. "It’s in Kevin Kaslana’s hands."Puff!"Huh!?"But the next moment, Otto’s smile froze on his face. He looked down, and a sharp blade had suddenly "grown" out of his chest.Moreover, he was very familiar with this sharp blade—it was a long-handled Guandao that he had personally participated in making for the mysterious girl."Hehe~"Sure enough, a familiar but not completely familiar voice came from behind Otto. "Unexpectedly? Mr. Otto, it’s your turn to be backstabbed."Otto turned his head back with difficulty, and sure enough, it was the white-haired girl Lin Ling."Miss Lin Ling, I..."Otto wanted to say something, but Lin Ling didn’t give him a chance. She raised her hand and cut the annoying man in half!At the same time, several gems behind her emitted their own power, and lightning, thunder, storms, and frost all greeted Otto without giving him a chance to speak!Finally, she still felt that it wasn’t enough, so she raised her hand and created a small black hole, which instantly swallowed up the horrible residue on the ground!Just like that, in the blink of an eye, the Archbishop who had been chatting and laughing just moments ago was dead without leaving a trace..."Papapapa~ Great! So relieved!"The white-haired girl took back the knife in her hand and looked at the girl with Fu Hua’s appearance clapping excitedly on the opposite side. At the same time, the girl tilted her head to observe her.The two girls (?) looked at each other for a long time in silence...Suddenly, they said in unison——"Hi wife" x2-------Chapter 167: The Dispute Between Top and Bottom?"Hmm?!" Lin Ling frowned and asked the girl who looked like Fu Hua but was actually a new Herrscher with great dissatisfaction, "Who are you calling wife?""Who else could it be?" Fu Hua (?) replied unhappily. "Are there other people here besides you and me?""Wait a minute, wife, are you mistaken? Let's sort this out first." Lin Ling made a gesture of understanding. "No one knows how to do things better than me, so no matter how you think about it... you're my wife... right?""Huh~?" Fu Hua (?) leaned back slightly, dragging her voice, looking very unhappy. "What are you talking about? Have you lost your memory? I remember it very clearly. Didn't you say it yourself last time? I am your top, and the others are your wives! No! Don't find anyone else for me in the future! You can only be mine!""Ahem." Lin Ling coughed twice, then smiled. "I was joking. And think about it carefully—although I did call you Lao Gong, I obviously called you wife more often, right? And! Ah, I won't abandon any of you. I'm such a philanthropic person~ I love you, and I love everyone~""Damn it! Don't be fickle! Why are you always so... disobedient? I’ve long wanted to give you a good lecture and make you change these bad habits!""But I refuse!""Hey, two ladies."Just as the two were about to fight, a familiar and annoying voice appeared again, and the hot man returned, "Husbands and wives should value harmony and not fight each other."Otto's reappearance attracted the attention of the two girls, who were fighting for the upper and lower positions."Well, what you said makes sense. Wife, let's stop arguing." Seeing that Otto had resurrected, Lin Ling pointed at her and smiled at Senti. "Isn't this guy just a spare body? In that case, let's compete to see who kills more Ottos. The time limit is half an hour. Whoever wins will be the top! Whoever loses will be the wife.""Okay, oh no..." Fu Hua (?) frowned slightly. "He and I killed each other once, so we're even?""Huh? How can we be even?!" Lin Ling said angrily. "Don't be fooled by this cunning man! The grudge between you is not as simple as a personal grudge. He has done everything to you. How many people has he killed? Have you forgotten? Moreover, not to mention the distant past, just a few days ago, I was almost killed by this guy's self-explosion of the Honkai energy reactor!""What!?" Hearing this, Fu Hua (?) instantly glared at Otto. "You bastard! How dare you treat my wife like this! I must kill you all!""Wait a minute, don’t be impulsive, old friend." Otto hurriedly persuaded. "Aren’t you curious about why I did that?"After Otto spoke, Fu Hua (?) did become curious. Although he was cruel and ruthless, and would do anything to achieve his goals, he wasn’t someone who killed innocent people indiscriminately."Why?" she asked with some curiosity.Otto had learned about Lin Ling’s becoming a Herrscher from Durandal, so he knew that Lin Ling seemed to be under the influence of the Honkai and wasn’t mentally normal.But he didn’t expect her to be this abnormal. How could she kill him?Fortunately, Otto still had a secret weapon. He smiled and said, "Because you should know that Miss Lin Ling can use the power of a Herrscher, so I suspect that she is actually... also a Herrscher. And now my guess has been confirmed. Old friend, I just learned from Durandal that your wife... has become a Herrscher! Look, the gems behind her are the best evidence.""What!?" Fu Hua (?) was startled. She flashed behind Lin Ling and grabbed one of the blue-purple gems.Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the one she had seen in Singapore."Is this the Gem of Serenity?"She didn’t expect that before her 'death,' one of her best friends had become a Herrscher. After finally resurrecting, her lover had also become a Herrscher?! She looked at Lin Ling with a complicated expression. "Is it... really? Have you really become a Herrscher?""It’s true." Lin Ling objected but nodded and admitted it."Damn it! Damn it, damn it! Could it be that the previous tragedy will happen again? Could it be that I have to start a life-and-death battle with the person closest to me again?! Ah! I remember! I understand!"Her memory was long, and it was easy to forget certain things. But with Otto's reminder, she suddenly remembered!Before she was killed by Otto, Lin Ling had defected to Sirim, to the Queen of Honkai! So! Has she always been on the side of Honkai?"Hehehe... Hahahaha!"Suddenly, Fu Hua (?) covered her face with one hand and laughed loudly."Ling, my Ling! You actually betrayed everyone! You betrayed me!" Fu Hua (?) looked a little crazy, and even Otto, who had just been beaten by her, felt a little scared."Hmm? What? What did I betray you about?" Lin Ling was confused. She scratched her head. "Haven't we always loved each other? Except for the little dispute about who is on top and who is on the bottom.""Lin Ling! What are you talking about?! Have you lost your memory? Or do you really think I’ve forgotten everything?! Don’t try to lie to me!" Fu Hua (?) shouted angrily. "The injury to my brain has completely healed, and all my memories have been fully restored! I remember everything!""Old friend! There is one more thing." Seeing that the two seemed about to fight, Otto quickly added, "You may not know yet, but my plan has succeeded. Kiana has defeated the Herrscher consciousness in her body and has become a human girl with the power of a Herrscher! So, I also have a way to make Miss Lin Ling return to normal. If you can subdue her, hand her over to me.""..." Fu Hua (?) turned her head and glanced at Otto. "Are you sure? If you dare to lie to me again, I will really kill you thoroughly.""Don't worry, old friend. As long as you tie up Miss Lin Ling and hand her over to me, I will definitely return her to a well-behaved and obedient lady, a gentle and virtuous lady. If I can't do it, just come and kill me, I will never resist.""In that case," Fu Hua (?) raised her hands and pinched Lin Ling, making a crackling sound, "Then I have to teach you a lesson!""Hehe!" Lin Ling was not to be outdone. "Come on! Do you really think I’m afraid of you? I heard you just beat Durandal? Hehe, just in time! Let’s see how strong I am! If you lose, just submit to me!"Powerful auras burst out from the two girls. Even though it should be invisible, it actually tore cracks in the surrounding ground and buildings.The entire floating island was on the verge of Honkai...Otto's new body, being too close, instantly Honkaid and turned to ashes.However, the moment after Otto's 'death', in a hall that looked like a church on the other side, a blond man who looked exactly like Otto opened his eyes and looked a little regretful. "Alas, it seems that I will bleed a lot this time.""Durandal," he dialed Durandal's communication. "Notify all the Schicksal personnel to leave the airport as soon as possible. I have decided to give up there and shrink the defense line.""Why?" Durandal's somewhat anxious voice came from the other end of the communicator. "Archbishop l? I can still fight!""Another... Herrscher came, and the two of them had some conflicts. There may be a large-scale battle, so we just need to wait and see for the time being.""Another Herrscher? Who is it...?" Durandal continued to ask hurriedly. She had a bad guess. "Could it be...? !""Well, it's Lin Ling. Don’t intervene for the time being. Wait until they finish fighting, then reap the benefits.""..."...At the same time, unlike the tense headquarters of Schicksal, somewhere in the equatorial region of the western Pacific Ocean, under the cloudless sky, there was a calm sea surface. Except for some floating broken ice that should not appear in the equatorial region, telling the horror of this sea area before.The four Herrscher girls had fought from the broken icebergs on the sea surface, from the air, from the sea surface, and then to the seabed, thousands of meters deep without sunlight.But the strange thing was that the girls who had been fighting to the death just moments ago stopped all fighting behaviors. Instead, they used their magical powers to create a not-too-big ice ball wrapped around a completely sealed metal room.Here, they were finally able to avoid all third-party eyes and began a boudoir conversation, to talk about things that were not meant for outsiders."...Anyway, that's probably it..."After roughly describing the whole story, Mei pushed it aside, but her eyes inadvertently stayed on Kiana."So, that’s how it is... I'm sorry." Then a girl with heterochromatic eyes and white hair hugged the purple-haired girl with horns tightly. "Mei, I... I wronged you...""It's okay." Mei gently stroked Kiana's back. "All this is for her.""Okay, you two can stop being sentimental later. Let's talk business first. First of all, I'm curious... why..."In the crowd, a girl with red eyes and short hair, wearing a cloak, was hiding in a corner and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why did you involve me too?!"This person was Raven. She had been hiding on top of an iceberg and observing everything, but as the battle between the Herrschers became more intense, she could no longer stay out of it and could only dodge in various lightning and thunder attacks.Fortunately, Mei was now her colleague. She still remembered her and helped her when the entire iceberg was completely broken.But the next moment, she was pulled here and had to share a room with four Herrscher girls in this small space. This made her feel uncomfortable because she had trauma from the Herrscher when she was a child."Because we want to ask for your opinion." Mei and Kiana separated their arms and then looked at the inquiring Raven. "There is a place that may be able to reverse all of this, and you should know that place. She said that you've been there.""The place I've been to... Well, could it be?" Suddenly, Raven thought of a mysterious place. She held her chin and thought for a moment. "If it is there, maybe there is really a way.""However, the Lord will not agree." Raven shook her head. "And I see that she is like this now. She wants to kick the Lord away and become the leader of the World Serpent. Will she come with us obediently?""Kevin will definitely agree. Don’t worry about that." Mei was confident. "As for her, she will not agree based on the current situation. So before that, we must defeat her and temporarily seal her power.""There is HSN-b46 serum in Anti-Entropy, and there are a lot of them on the Hyperion."At this time, Bronya spoke, "This serum can effectively neutralize the Honkai energy. Unfortunately, if I had the holy blood of Schariac, we could make the reagent that Himeko-sensei mentioned which was named the 'God Slaying Spear' by Otto. Last time, they suppressed the Siren in Kiana’s body with this medicine.""Everyone..." At this time, Ana who had been silent like an ice sculpture stood up. "Actually, my full name is Ana Schariac.""Oh?!" Bronya asked, "Schariac? In that case, there will be no problem. I can use the power of the Herrscher of Reason to make the required equipment here and then use your blood to prepare the God-Slaying Spear.""However," Ana was a little worried, "I didn’t undergo any special transformation surgery, and I don’t have the same high degree of completion as Cecilia-sama, so the effect may be discounted.""Well... don't worry." Bronya reassured her. "Quantitative change can produce qualitative change. When the time comes, we will each have one and gather everyone’s strength to inject it into her body.""Ana Schariac...?" Mei looked at Ana, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.So, you have calculated this step?----Chapter 168: Squeezinh Senti"Hmm~"One morning, a girl with long gray-blue hair slowly sat up from her warm bed. Then, she did something that was inconsistent with her usual serious and cold style. She put one hand behind her head and hugged the other hand, then straightened up with force – stretching a little.For some reason, Fu Hua felt that she had slept very relaxed, very comfortably, and very... comfortably last night?"When was the last time I slept so soundly?"Thinking of this, Fu Hua fell into recollection of the past, but like every time before, whenever she wanted to check her past, she could only see large patches of haziness in her memory. There were too many areas that she could no longer see clearly. She randomly shook her head gently. "Time flies, and the past is gone. Since the past is gone, the most important thing is to grasp the present. The weather is good today, and it's time to wake up Lin Ling to do morning exercises... Hmm? Where is she?"But when Fu Hua looked at the bed next to her, it was messy as if someone had slept there. But apart from the messy bedding, it was empty, and there was no naughty figure at all."Did she sneak out to play again in the middle of the night? Hmm? No!"Suddenly, Fu Hua felt that her quilt was a little too warm suddenly today, even though it was not the season for rising temperatures.And, in addition to the warmth, there was something pressing on her waist and abdomen, preventing her from standing up.She opened her quilt!Sure enough, there was a white-haired girl hugging her and sleeping soundly."Lin Ling!?"Then, a girl's roar broke the morning tranquility of St. Freya Academy..."Really, what are you yelling about, class monitor? Are you going to let me sleep?"The person being yelled at just frowned impatiently, then hugged her "pillow" even harder, rubbed her face against it, and made a comfortable purring sound like a kitten~"You guy!" Unfortunately, Lin Ling's cute behavior did not seem to move the pillow. Fu Hua angrily picked up the girl, who had one hand, one foot, or rather, half of her body resting on her, and scolded her harshly. "Didn't I tell you last time? You are not allowed to sneak into my bed in the middle of the night! Or is your butt itchy again?""Ah?"The shaking of Fu Hua's hand, coupled with the scolding in her ear, finally woke up Lin Ling. "Well? I actually hugged the class monitor and slept all night?!"She immediately blushed. "Ahem, sorry, class monitor! Maybe I accidentally drank too much last night, my mind was a little confused, and I accidentally got on the wrong bed!""Accidentally? I think you did it on purpose!? Alas~" Fu Hua sighed helplessly. "Really, didn't you say you don't like drinking? Why did you drink so much last night?""Oh, wasn't it your birthday yesterday? It just so happened that Bronya got some local specialties from her hometown from somewhere, such as vodka and wine, so I was curious and drank a little bit. I didn't expect that the aftereffect of that thing was so strong.""No wonder the Sprite you drank last night had no bubbles, so you were drinking secretly?" Fu Hua recalled the details of Lin Ling's birthday party last night and shook her head helplessly. "But, it's okay for you to drink secretly, but you actually drank such a high degree. Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?""Stomach I don't know if my brain is bad or not, but it's really strange to say that after getting drunk, I always feel that my mind is very clear, but I just can't control myself. Things that I only dared to think about before, after getting drunk, my hands started to do them before I finished thinking about them. Well... It's like I was controlled by alcohol. That's right! class monitor, do you think people really have free will?"No one knows if it was the first time that Lin Ling got drunk last night that really made her start thinking about life, or if she just wanted to change the subject, but she suddenly spoke some seemingly philosophical and thought-provoking words."Like human love, it is controlled by the amine dopamine. When dopamine is secreted vigorously, you will feel that the other person is so charming, and I can even sacrifice my life for the other person; when you are angry, adrenaline, thyroid hormone... similar to the excessive secretion of excitatory hormones, at this time it is difficult for reason to suppress the decisions and behaviors of people caused by hormones; and those who take drugs, drugs will cause neurotransmitters to continuously stimulate the postsynaptic membrane, making the human brain continuously excited and hyperactive. It is difficult to maintain rationality at this time. At this time, neurotransmitters include excitatory hormones and transmitters such as dopamine... All our behaviors seem to be controlled, regulated, and determined by hormones! So, the so-called human beings are actually... just slaves of hormones, right?""Well... what you said does make some sense. Generally speaking, the brains of most people, or the will of people, are easily affected by other factors. As long as the triggering conditions are met, whether it is regulating the hormones in the human body or through the stimulation of the external environment, a person's will can be easily manipulated..."After listening to Lin Ling's twisted logic, Fu Hua fell into a brief silence.As the holder of the Key of Sentience, she was very familiar with manipulating the consciousness of others and the fragility of their consciousness.But suddenly, she changed the subject."But I believe! Human will is definitely not as simple as a hormone slave. Maybe after you are completely drunk, you can't control your desire to get on my bed under the influence of alcohol, but! You can choose not to drink before drinking with your own will! But you drank!"After saying that, Fu Hua waved her hand and used a martial arts move to suck Lin Ling's clothes not far away, and then threw them on Lin Ling's face. "Lin Ling, are you ready for today's devilish special training? I have decided that the focus of today's training is how to resist temptation!"...Time goes back to the present, the two girls who used to live under the same roof and even occasionally slept in the same bed are now fighting each other.The six cores behind Lin Ling are constantly rotating up and down around her, and at the same time, they are venting a large amount of lightning, poisonous fog, spears, wind blades, and other attacks like a Gatling machine gun...And the girl who resembled Fu Hua casually rolled up the light sword in her hand and blocked all of Lin Ling’s attacks.However, except for Fu Hua (?), other areas weren’t so relaxed.The attacks deflected by the sword flew around, bombarding the Schicksal headquarters airport with thick smoke and shaking the surroundings.Fortunately, Durandal had evacuated all Schicksal personnel from the airport and its vicinity in time, so no casualties were caused, only damage to property."Ha~" Suddenly, Fu Hua (?) yawned, as if tired of Lin Ling's ineffective attacks. "Hey, Lin Ling, have you become stupid after becoming a Herrscher? How come you only know this one move? I'm getting sleepy. Aren't you usually very smart? By the way, what kind of Herrscher are you? Why are you so flashy? Can you come up with something new?"Fu Hua (?) easily parried Lin Ling's attack while still having the energy to taunt."Hmph, I'll show you how powerful I am right away!" After hearing what the other said, Lin Ling became slightly upset.I haven't even tried messing with your mentality, yet you're already doing it to me?"Heavenly Sphere, Shinra Tensei!"Then, as the deep yellow core emitted a violent wave of fluctuations, Lin Ling simultaneously activated the gravitational and repulsive forces of the Herrscher of the Stars.This invisible force couldn’t be blocked by swords or knives. Fu Hua (?) didn’t have time to parry and was violently clamped in both the forward and backward directions.The force also caused her sword dance to pause, and she was immediately overwhelmed by a barrage of multiple attacks.However, when the flames of the explosion cleared, Fu Hua (?) had been blown out with several holes in her body, some areas slightly scorched, and even black smoke still rising."Damn, so you're the Herrscher of Rock? What a troublesome ability."Although the attack appear to have caused Fu Hua some discomfort, it wasn’t a big deal. She just shook her body slightly, and a flash of light formed by Honkai instantly cleaned her clothes, making them look as good as new.But for the first time, she frowned with caution.In Fu Hua's (?) memory, the Herrscher of Rock from the previous era was a terrifying being who singlehandedly destroyed an entire continent. She swallowed Mu Continent, the most technologically advanced of the pre-civilizations, into a black hole, dealing a severe blow to pre-civilization technology.Perhaps aside from Finality and Binding, she was the Herrscher who caused the most damage to the human world."Herrscher of Rock? That name is too dull." After hearing Fu Hua's words, Lin Ling shook her head in dissatisfaction. "I prefer to be called the Herrscher of Stars. You wouldn't want your husband's code name to sound so boring, would you?"As she spoke, Lin Ling stretched out her hand, and a pseudo-black hole instantly appeared above Fu Hua's (?) head, swallowing everything around it in a frenzy.In an instant, the entire Schicksal Airport was completely devoured.Fortunately, Fu Hua raised her sword in time, and a large, ancient spear suddenly appeared beneath her feet. She flew on the sword, forcibly escaping from Lin Ling’s gravitational pull and heading straight for Lin Ling."Damn it! You want to suck me in too? Too heartless! As expected, you've become inhumane after becoming a Herrscher. I’m going to pin you to the ground and beat you senseless until you come to your senses!""Then come on!"Lin Ling didn’t seem panicked. After absorbing the entire Schicksal Airport and several surrounding sky islands into the black hole, she pulled out the Key of Brilliance and engaged in close combat with Fu Hua.The two fought from the sky to the ground, then from the ground back up, finally bursting out from the nearby river with countless splashes.It was like a hurricane passing by, and like an earthquake, constantly destroying everything that this Archbishop had worked for over five hundred years."Clang!"After another metallic roar, the two girls (?) temporarily separated and faced each other."Pa pa pa~ Not bad, Lin Ling, you're completely different from how you were in the academy. You've grown so much after a sleepless night? You’re worthy of being my wife! Very impressive." Fu Hua (?) clapped her hands in approval. Although she had become a Herrscher, she could feel that, in addition to the Herrscher power, Lin Ling had made great progress in other areas, proving that her careful cultivation had paid off.[Ding~ System prompt: The host satisfied Fu Hua (?), and the adaptability to Honkai energy increased by 3%.]At the same time, Lin Ling heard the system notification in her mind.Though it seems that the two were evenly matched now, Lin Ling knew she had already brought out her full strength, while her opponent was still playing around, and many powerful abilities had yet to be used.However, Lin Ling wasn't panicking. As long as she kept playing with her opponent’s mentality, she knew she’d catch up sooner or later. Then she would subdue Fu Hua and kill Kevin together!"Oh! I suddenly remembered~" Lin Ling suddenly showed a look of realization."What did you remember?" This piqued Fu Hua’s (?) curiosity."I almost forgot that you’re flat to begin with, and you’re not afraid of being pinched even if you have a little protrusion on your body. So, I just used gravity and repulsion to pinch you, and you’re fine, hahaha.""＃! You!" Fu Hua’s (?) forehead veins immediately popped out. "What are you talking about?! Humph, I’ve almost figured out your three moves. It’s meaningless to keep fighting you. Just lie down obediently!"[Ding~ System prompt: The host made Fu Hua (?) angry, and obtained Edge of Taixuan·Heart Rhythm·Mingjing.]Nice, a good thing just dropped.Edge of Taixuan, or the 'SWARA' of the former civilization, is an extremely powerful buff ability. If cultivated to the fourth level, one could even gain the ability to manipulate Honkai energy to a degree comparable to the Herrscher’s.Now, at the third level, it was a little weaker but still slightly boosted Lin Ling’s current strength.However, Lin Ling was slightly confused. She had thought something was wrong with the system just now.What does this question mark mean?Speaking of which, the old fairy is definitely different now. She’s become much more proactive. She even dares to call me ‘wife’? And she acts like a child, enjoying competition.Oh, forget it. I’m too lazy to think too much.This is just right. It’s easier to anger her. Anyway, she definitely won’t kill me. I’ll just steal more of her abilities and drain her dry. Then I can fight the Ice Pig alone!Now that Lin Ling’s strength had increased once again, she didn’t bother to think too much and rushed forward with the Key of Brilliance, ready to launch a Bright Dragon Dance!But Fu Hua (?) slowly closed her eyes at that moment...Until... when Lin Ling’s attack was about to reach Fu Hua (?)'s forehead, she suddenly opened her eyes!Instantly, Lin Ling felt that the entire world had undergone earth-shattering changes. The broken but still sci-fi atmosphere of Schicksal Airport completely disappeared, and in its place stood a mountain full of countless sword blades, like a sword tomb.At the same time, countless broken swords on the ground automatically flew up, forming a magical barrier that blocked Fu Hua (?) from view, intercepting Lin Ling’s blade and the gem attack from behind."Hehe!" Fu Hua (?) smiled proudly. "Welcome to my world.""Huh? An illusion? Wife, are you still playing this game? If you want to fight, fight with real weapons. Instead of these empty words, why not fight on the bed? Whoever strikes first loses! How about that?"------Chapter 169: Please, Backstab Me!"Fight on the bed? Who started first? What are you talking about, Lin Ling? I don't understand anything."Fu Hua (?) tilted her head. Although she had 50,000 years of memories, she had spent most of that time dormant. She was also very busy protecting the people of Shenzhou, with no time or interest in love. It wasn't until she met a little guy who kept teasing "herself" that she became curious about these things.However, in general, she didn't understand the jargon in this area."Besides, the bed is so small, how can we fight?""Hehe, do you want to learn?" Lin Ling rubbed her hands and smiled evilly. "Come on, conjure up a bed first, and then I'll teach you step by step!""No! What's wrong with you? Be normal!" After seeing Lin Ling's strange look, even Fu Hua (?)—who had been in high spirits—showed some fear for the first time. She crossed her arms and took a few steps back. "What do you want to do?"But after taking a few steps back, Fu Hua (?) realized she couldn't be timid; this was the environment and space she had created! Her own territory!Her natural strength was far superior to Lin Ling's, and she was an experienced attacker, so how could she show weakness?"Ten Thousand Blade Recursion!"She immediately became furious and controlled the flying swords scattered across the mountains and fields, sending them at Lin Ling like a swarm of bees.[Ding~ System prompt: The host has successfully made Fu Hua (?) feel very confused and slightly scared. The control of Honkai energy has increased by 1.14%.]"Hehehe, Hua, my baby Fu Hua, don't be afraid... Sister will teach you how to be a cutie~" Lin Ling whose abilities were constantly improving, excitedly dodged those dense attacks and rushed toward Fu Hua (?), while uttering some words that made no sense."Hey~ Don't come over, you are so disgusting!"[Ding~ System prompt: The host has successfully frightened Fu Hua (?) and obtained the power of the Herrscher of Sentience, currently at 3.14%.]Huh? Herrscher of Sentience?!How did my wife turn into a Herrscher?...As the battle between Lin Ling and Fu Hua (?) seemed to be gradually going off track...In the outside world, there were new movements around Lin Ling's body which had remained still due to the environment where her spirit was trapped.First, a small space portal the size of a cat's eye opened.Then, at the other end of the portal, a red eye appeared, seemingly observing the motionless Lin Ling."Sure enough, everything is part of her plan. She's in some kind of illusion. Her body cannot move for a short time, but we need to move quickly—she may wake up at any moment!"After secretly observing Lin Ling, Mei turned around and carefully said to the other Herrscher girls."Understood." x3The girls nodded seriously. Then, four space portals opened slowly, from the front, back, left, and right of Lin Ling.Four girls with different hair colors—white, purple, gray, and chestnut—walked out and carefully approached from all directions.But just when they were about to insert the syringe into the white-haired girl's body..."Hey, wives, what do you want to do?" Lin Ling suddenly opened her eyes again.Although Lin Ling had been pulled into the illusion by Fu Hua's (?) ability, this ability to manipulate others' consciousness was not invincible.Just like Kevin being unaffected by Fenghuang Down. He wasn't afraid of Fu Hua, as long as the power was strong enough, mental resistance would also increase.As Lin Ling continued to tease and provoke the other party into copying Fu Hua (?), her own abilities improved significantly. She even gained some of the power of the Herrscher of Sentience to manipulate consciousness.This surprised Lin Ling. How could history change because of her disruption? Why did Fu Hua have the ability of the Herrscher of Sentience?But just as Lin Ling was about to ask, she suddenly felt abnormal energy fluctuations around her body in reality.Using her newly acquired power of the Herrscher of Sentience, she forcibly awakened herself from the illusion.Then she saw that she was surrounded by people. Upon closer inspection, they wer familiar faces."Not good!"The fastest one was Kiana. Upon seeing Lin Ling wake up, she stopped wasting time and instantly activated the ability of the Herrscher of Void. She flashed behind Lin Ling and tried to insert the needle in her hand into her waist.But Lin Ling's quick saber forced Kiana to summon a Subspace Lance to block, and then she was blown away by Lin Ling's powerful force.Just as Kiana was defeated, Bronya immediately stepped forward and created solid metal restraints and chains to tightly bind Lin Ling's body.At the same time, Mei released a strong electric current, covering Lin Ling's whole body, trying to paralyze her muscles.Ana was also trying her best to create extremely low-temperature ice to freeze Lin Ling again..."Why! Why are you doing this?! Everything I did was for you, but you treat me like this?"Lin Ling looked around and saw her beloved women collectively attacking her. She was furious.Finally, her eyes landed on Ana. "Ana! Even you betrayed me?!""..."Ana did not respond to Lin Ling's anger, but her expression was full of apology and...incomparable determination.Gradually, as the powerful Houkai energy instantly condensed and transformed in Lin Ling's body, a powerful repulsive force spread in all directions from Lin Ling's center.She was using her original and complete power of the Herrscher of the Stars to bounce all the women who betrayed her away!Because her power was too strong, Bronya, Mei, Ana, and the others were momentarily breathless. The repulsive force emitted by Lin Ling was so intense that the attacks they launched were nearly bounced back at themselves..."Class Monitor!" At this moment, Kiana looked at Fu Hua (?) who was standing not far away, observing the scene with interest.Although she didn't know why the class leader who had been taken away by Kevin was here, she hurriedly called, "Come and help?""Humph, I can defeat her alone. It's embarrassing to bully the minority with the majority!""But it's useless to just defeat her. What we want is to heal her! Let her recover normally, you know? She's planning to destroy the three major organizations—Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Snake—by herself! She's trying to rule the world, and if we leave her alone, she’ll do something stupid!" Kiana angrily explained to the girl who resembled Fu Hua, but always felt something was off. "Class Monitor, wake up!""Oh?! Do you have a way to cure her?" 'Fu Hua' nodded. "Indeed, if you have a solution, it's much better than handing her over to Otto! Let's go, I'll see what you're going to do, and by the way, I'll teach her a lesson once she recovers!"As she spoke, Kiana flew in the air, and Fu Hua flew on a sword, quickly approaching Lin Ling to join the action of suppressing her.Finally, with the participation of Kiana and Fu Hua (?), Lin Ling gradually fell into a disadvantage.Even when she used all her strength to release repulsion, she could no longer bounce everyone away, and the distance was slowly shrinking!Seeing that the syringes in the hands of several girls were getting closer and closer to her, Lin Ling knew that although she didn't know what they were, they must be very dangerous!"A good man never suffers a loss in front of him! Run away when the wind is strong!"Lin Ling didn't have time to think. After instantly canceling the repulsive force from Fu Hua (?), she took a strong palm to her chest from the other party, but at the same time, she used this force to fly out of the encirclement formed by Mei, Ana, and the others."Humph, you didn’t expect this. This is my escape route!"After hiding in her own world, Lin Ling breathed a sigh of relief."Ling! Come with us! We won’t hurt you; we just want you to return to normal!"But then, another portal appeared in front of her, and Mei and the others blocked her once again.They also had a space-based ability user on their side."Really? Still haunting me? I’ve said it already! I’m normal! In this case..."Lin Ling raised her hands high, and infinite suction formed a small black dot above her head, which then expanded rapidly!Instantly, a strong suction force was generated. Except for Fu Hua (?), who could stabilize her body, the others were all shaky to varying degrees.But in fact, Lin Ling’s move wasn’t meant to attack them. She leaped toward the black hole. Her goal was to hide herself in the black hole, where even light could not escape.But just as she was about to pass through the black hole’s event horizon, another invisible barrier blocked her, preventing her from getting any closer."What is this?! Even a black hole can’t swallow it? ...This is... huh? Ideal fluid?!"Ideal fluid, an imaginary substance that cannot exist in the real world, doesn't consider viscosity (its viscosity is zero), and the flow rate at any fixed point does not change with time. In other words, it cannot be compressed, and even a black hole, which swallows everything, cannot do anything to it!On the contrary, due to its incompressible nature and the super strong suction of the black hole, it only forms a dense barrier around the black hole, preventing Lin Ling from breaking through."Ling, stop being willful and come home with us." A green-haired girl appeared behind Lin Ling.Sure enough, it was Wendy who had done it. She had been waiting for Lin Ling to show up in this space."Damn..."Afterwards, under the siege of Wendy, Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Fu Hua (?), and Ana, five Herrscher girls, Lin Ling lost the ability to resist and was firmly pressed to the ground by everyone, with some pressing her legs and others pressing her arms...Then, Kiana injected the potion in her hand into Lin Ling’s waist. "Ling, this time, it’s my turn to save you."Bronya injected the potion into her left shoulder. "Ling, when you recover, come with me to see Seele and the others..."Next, Mei injected the serum into Lin Ling’s neck. "Forgive me, Ling, but after the last time, this is necessary.""Well... what should I say?" Fu Hua (?), who seemed the most relaxed, scratched the back of her head. "When you wake up, be good and don’t cause trouble again, okay? Leave the matter of beating Kevin to me, don’t make trouble.""Ling, I have never betrayed you. All my actions have been in accordance with your wishes..."Finally, Ana injected the syringe into Lin Ling’s body, and at the same time, a red feather fell from the sky...With the injection of a large amount of God-Slaying Spear, and the connection between Fenghuang Down and Lin Ling, the strange symbol of the Herrscher in her eyes began to slowly dissipate. The arrogant eyes that had previously looked down on everyone gradually regained their clarity..."Thank you, everyone. Thank you for not giving up on me, the one who had become a madman..."Finally, she nodded gratefully to everyone and slowly closed her eyes with satisfaction............Time went back to the moment when Lin Ling was about to be frozen by Ana.In the extremely cold ice, she awakened the memory of her previous life—or perhaps this life—and saw the bad fate between herself and Ana.But while knowing everything, she sensitively felt a strange singularity connected to the imaginary tree within her body, and countless Honkai energy began to gather.What was even more terrifying was that her spirit had formed an invisible link with some location, which caused her mind to involuntarily generate many crazy thoughts...She knew she would have to pay back the debt she owed when trading with the Honkai God.The thing she had used to exchange for the freedom of Wendy, Herrscher Persona Mei, and Ana was herself.Looking at Ana who was constantly screaming in pain due to the erosion of Honkai, Lin Ling knew she would soon follow in her footsteps.So, Lin Ling entered the depths of her consciousness, engraved a memory into Fenghuang Down, and at the same time awakened the sleeping other Herrscher of Thunder, telling her everything that was about to happen:"I'm sorry, everyone. I, Lin Ling, the person who loves you the most and the person you love the most, will become a Herrscher.I don’t know what I’ll become after becoming a Herrscher, or what crazy actions I’ll take... However, I also know that I’m just an ordinary person. I don’t have a strong will like Kiana. I probably won’t be able to stop the erosion of Honkai, and I’ll become crazy, bad, and foolish...But just as people cannot control themselves after drinking too much alcohol, they should choose not to drink when sober.Before I become a Herrscher, while I still have my last bits of consciousness, I’m leaving some gifts for you—gifts to defeat me. First, if you have the chance, please tell Mei and the others that I hope you can pretend to submit to me, and don’t act recklessly toward me after I become a Herrscher. That’s very dangerous behavior... Then, I’ll use Fenghuang Down to modify my memory so that I can forget that the God-Slaying Spear can threaten me, and I’ll provoke the class monitor who’s about to be resurrected... Finally, when I am most proud of myself, please, backstab me!"------Chapter 170: The Tragic Shura Field Between Me and the Six Herrscher Girls~After an unknown amount of time, the unconscious girl gradually regained consciousness in the haze.She slowly opened her eyes—What came into view was a green, unfamiliar shade of trees, with the dazzling sunlight occasionally shining through them...It seemed that I was now in a desolate wilderness? ... No! I remember fainting after Kiana and the others injected too much of that liquid. Where are they? Why is no one here?Lin Ling hurriedly struggled to sit up and take a closer look at the surrounding environment.But as soon as the back of her head was less than ten centimeters away from the pillow, a wave of weakness overtook her body, forcing her to lie down again."Bang~"At the same time, her head seemed to hit something softer, making a muffled sound."You're awake, Ling. How do you feel?"The girl's movement woke up another girl."Hmm, that sound? ... Chong Chong?"Lin Ling looked up.Only then did she realize she was lying on Kiana's thighs, with Kiana resting against a tree trunk."Ling, how do you feel? Are you okay? Do you still have those... crazy thoughts?" Seeing that Lin Ling had woken up, Kiana asked nervously."Yes." Lin Ling replied without thinking."What!" Kiana was startled and quickly pulled out a huge syringe from somewhere. "Ling! Don't be afraid, I'll give you another shot!""I said stop!" Looking at the ridiculous, huge syringe that looked like it was meant for animals, Lin Ling didn't know where she found the strength, but she quickly stood up, grabbed Kiana's wrist to stop her, and quickly explained, "I'm kidding, Chong Chong. I'm sober now!""Is... that so?" Kiana looked unconvinced. "But you said that before. You said you were sober, but then you went on about defeating Schicksal, then Anti-Entropy, and then defeating World Snake to rule the world. You also said you’d take all the beauties in the world into your harem, and something about becoming the God of the new world!""Really?" Lin Ling blushed as her dark history was revealed but quickly pretended to be innocent. "Did I really say that? How embarrassing, I don't remember anything.""Oh~?" Kiana came closer to Lin Ling and carefully observed her eyes. Indeed, there was no strange symbol in her iris that signified the Herrscher.But that wasn't enough—maybe Lin Ling was pretending to be normal?Kiana looked around to ensure the others weren't nearby. She quickly closed the distance between herself and Lin Ling, then pecked her on the lips."Huh!" Lin Ling, startled by the sudden attack, widened her eyes, quickly pushed Kiana away, and turned her head. "What are you doing? How, how could you do that so suddenly?"Seeing the familiar shy look on the girl in front of her, Kiana finally breathed a sigh of relief. "You blushed? Are you shy? Huh~ Seems like you weren't lying to me. You really are back to normal.""Shy? Humph! Nonsense." Lin Ling turned her head away stubbornly. "How could I be shy? Believe it or not, I'll push you to the ground and rub you now!""Tsk~" Kiana looked disdainful. "With the way you are now? Okay, I won’t resist. Come on, push me down. I'll count to three—otherwise, hum, I’m going to push you down~""Ahem, I’m not feeling well today, so let’s drop it for now. By the way, where is this? Why are we here? And why are you the only one here? Where are the others?" Lin Ling coughed twice and used the topic change as a diversion."I don’t know exactly where this is. It’s a deserted island. I’m sorry, I’ve used up too much power and can’t use space teleportation for now. Mei also said she wouldn’t let me use the power of the Herrscher of the Void. But we couldn’t leave you at Schicksal's headquarters, so we took you all the way west to Anti-Entropy's headquarters in North America. We’re resting on a temporary deserted island in the Atlantic Ocean. As for the others..." Kiana gently stroked Lin Ling's cheek and slowly explained what had happened after Lin Ling fell unconscious. "They said when you wake up, you’ll definitely be hungry, so...""Great, Lin Ling is awake!""Stupid Lin Ling, you’ve been in a coma for 5 hours, 45 minutes, 43 seconds, and 12 milliseconds.""Ling, do you like vegetarian food? I just flew to the mountainside of this island and found some mushrooms.""Ling, are you hungry? I’ll go cook for you now."Just as Kiana was about to explain where the others were, a group of girls appeared, carrying mountain delicacies, seafood, birds, beasts, and even a motorcycle made of wood."Hmm... what are you doing?" Lin Ling was a little surprised when she saw these girls who looked like they have returned from hunting. "You want to eat game? By the way, eating game isn’t good. It's unhealthy and illegal. We should be good citizens who abide by the law and can’t eat game.""Don’t worry, these are all allowed to be hunted according to local laws," Mei explained with a smile. "By the way, you should be hungry. Wait a little longer, and you’ll have something to eat soon.""Oh, okay. But why did you suddenly think of going out to eat barbecue? Also, are we staying here all the time? Isn’t this a bad idea?" Lin Ling asked with concern. "Auntie and the others will be worried if they know.""The principal and the others are still busy dealing with the aftermath of the Honkai incident around Coral Island, so they can’t pick us up for now. We also spent a lot of energy to subdue you earlier, so we decided to take a break here for a while." Bronya explained while controlling Project Bunny to build something with the wood she had just cut.Fu Hua (?) threw a tuna in her hand, which was much larger than a person, then pounced on Lin Ling, rubbing her face like a kitten. She raised her head with the expression of a child who had successfully played a prank: "Hehe, everyone’s reunited again. I think this opportunity is rare, so I suggest everyone go camping and have a barbecue! It’ll be so much fun!"Lin Ling smiled without caring much. "I don’t mind, as long as everyone is happy.""Ling, are you hot? Do you need me to make some cool air for you?"At this time, after putting the ingredients into the homemade freezer, Ana came to Lin Ling's side, stretched out her hand, and continued to emit a gentle stream of heart-warming cold air, acting as a human air conditioner."Oh~ Not bad, so comfortable." Feeling the coolness brought by Ana, Lin Ling gave her an approving look. "I’ll hold you to sleep every summer! That way, I can save on the air conditioning bill.""Hmm..." Ana, slightly flustered by the comment, replied, "Ling, if you... if you like, I can...""Well... Ling~, I can also help you cool down."Wendy frowned slightly when she saw this, and then moved to Lin Ling's side, creating some airflow to help cool her down. She also blew away the insects that tried to get close to Lin Ling. "See? It can also keep mosquitoes away.""Achoo!" Already chilly from the cold wind, Lin Ling was soaked by Senti who had just gone fishing. She sneezed and quickly stopped Wendy and Ana from secretly competing. "I said stop! It's getting a bit too cold with all the wind and chill!""If you're cold, do you want to come over to my side?"On the other side, Mei had already lit a bonfire. It was almost dusk, and as the best cook there, she was making the final preparations for the barbecue."No need," Lin Ling shook her head. "Ice and fire would make things even worse... Do you want me to catch a cold? By the way, that..."At this moment, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the busy but smiling girls, reflecting a warm brilliance.Looking at these girls who were working for her, Lin Ling couldn’t help but feel a little touched."What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Ling's hesitating expression, Kiana asked, irritated, "Come on, what's wrong with you? Why are you being so slow?""Speaking of which," Lin Ling forced herself to sit up, scratched the back of her head, and said to the group of girls who were working hard for her, "Thank you, everyone. Do you need my help?""No." The girls quickly stopped Lin Ling from getting up. "Just rest.""Okay, hehe, then I’ll be lazy~" Lin Ling no longer resisted. She leaned back on Kiana's soft thighs to enjoy Ana’s cold air, hugged Fu Hua (?), who was a little wet, and enjoyed Wendy's leg massage, all while admiring Mei's skilled cooking.Unknowingly, everyone had prepared the ingredients, and Bronya had directed Project Bunny to build a beautiful semi-open cabin. By then, the sun had almost completely set, making it the perfect time for a summer night barbecue."Ah~ If Rita and Dudu were here, it would be perfect," Lin Ling thought of the other two girls who had a close relationship with her.However, as soon as she said this, Lin Ling felt soft flesh poking her waist in multiple places."Hmph." Kiana, Wendy, and Fu Hua (?) were pinching her at the same time. "So greedy!"..."Well... how should I put it? I personally feel that it's similar to being drunk and going crazy, strength +50%, intelligence -50%. You think you're very sober, shouting that you're not drunk, but the things you usually just think about, at that moment, it’s not just thinking. The next moment, once the idea comes up, you’ll act on it immediately."After nearly half a year of separation, everyone gathered together again. After eating and drinking, everyone lay on the beach, admiring the beauty of the starry sky while listening to Lin Ling share her feelings about becoming a Herrscher."Ling, you’ve worked hard."Everyone present was also a Herrscher, especially Wendy and Ana, who were in the most similar situation to Lin Ling. They nodded with empathy."No!" However, the genius Bronya, with her IQ of 180, sensed something was wrong. "You said you ‘only dare to think’ about it on weekdays? In other words... have you really thought about it, Lin Ling?""Hmm!? In other words—!"Kiana also caught the blind spot in Lin Ling's words."Okay! You!" Kiana rolled over and straddled Lin Ling, grabbing her collar angrily. In front of the person closest to her, she finally regained her former liveliness. "So, you’ve lived with Mei and me for so long and did nothing? But you really want to do that with Miss Ana, someone you’ve just met?!""Ah, this..." Lin Ling turned her head quietly to look at Ana who was a little shy, then looked up at Kiana.This was a case of shooting herself in the foot. If she had known, she would never have mentioned it."Not only Miss Ana... This is the combat record I stole from the Schicksal Intelligence Library before. Please take a look."At that moment, Bronya fiddled with an electronic device for a while, then projected an image into the sky. It was a picture of a white-haired girl suddenly launching a sneak attack on the blonde girl who was hugging her!"Okay! Okay!" This made Kiana even more angry and sad. "Kissing two people in one day! Isn’t it enough with me and Mei? If I had known that night, Mei and I should have done it to you to the end!""Huh~?" Lin Ling, now panicked, looked at everyone around her. Given her weak state, she thought Kiana wouldn't dare to do anything to her, so she raised her head, presumptuously saying, "Huh! It’s not too late now.""Hmm...? That night, what happened with you guys that night?" Fu Hua (?) asked curiously."Nothing serious. I just slept with Mei and Lin Ling in the middle for one night. Hehe." Kiana proudly showed off as if boasting."Ahem, Kiana!" Mei who was processing the ingredients on the other side blushed when she heard this. She turned around, coughing slightly in anger, signaling Kiana to stop talking.Saying this in front of so many people was too much..."That..." Wendy interrupted weakly, "Actually, I also slept with Ling...""Huh?" Fu Hua (?) was not to be outdone, "What's wrong with sleeping? Lin Ling and I used to sleep in the same room before. Right, Lin Ling?""Ah, yes, yes," Lin Ling could only nod helplessly, but seeing the unfriendly looks from everyone, she quickly realized something was wrong and shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, we just slept! I didn’t do anything else!""Tsk~" Kiana let go of Lin Ling and smiled proudly at Fu Hua (?). "It's meaningless to just sleep. We, um... that, this, that..."As she spoke, Kiana couldn't help licking her lips.While everyone compared their experiences, Bronya looked down at her petite and slender body, a rare trace of regret and resentment appearing on her usually emotionless face.Why did that big wolf... do nothing to me? Is it because... my body can’t grow?Um... Bronya really wants to grow up... Oh?Got it, since Mr. Welt can completely rebuild his body from scratch with the power of the Herrscher of Reason, then by the same token, I must be able to use the core of the Herrscher of Reason to adjust my body slightly...I’ll try it when I have time...Fu Hua (?) felt a little uneasy for some reason. She grabbed Lin Ling's collar had just been released by Kiana, and lifted her up. "Damn it! What else did you do with them?! I’m not going to be outdone. Come here and do it with me!""Huh!?"
