Chapter Nineteen: Wendy's True Thoughts
After the Queen entered that entrance, she traveled downwards for a long time.
But the further she walked, the more frightened she became.
What secrets does this small island hold? She's been walking for most of the day and still hasn't reached the end.
Looking down at the bottomless staircase below, Sirin swallowed hard.
The sound of high heels hitting the ground echoed slowly in the empty space.
As she descended, the surrounding temperature rose higher and higher, and even she, as a Herrscher, felt a burning sensation on her face.
The surrounding walls also gradually changed, their rhythmic pulses making them seem alive.
The Queen finally couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere any longer. She jumped onto the railing and leaped directly to the bottom.
After an unknown amount of time, with the impact of inertia, Xilin finally touched the bottom.
"Hello? Who is it?"
"Um?"
The first person to catch the Queen's eye was Wendy, and the two immediately locked eyes.
Wendy couldn't help but take a slight step back, but because she had the task Xingyue had entrusted to her, she didn't leave.
With Lady Xingyue absent, how should I deal with this Herrscher of the Void who has barged in?
Good news: The Herrscher of the Void's target is not Bronya. Bad news: The Herrscher of the Void's target is probably her core.
At this moment, Bronya, who was bound, also looked in this direction.
Her first thought was that Kiana had come to save her, but the situation seemed different now.
Although they look alike, the Queen and Kiana have completely different temperaments, and they can be easily distinguished when they are together.
Now, I don't know if this is a good thing or not.
"Great! I didn't expect my other half to be here. The Honkai Beast isn't here, so now's the time."
Xilin was overjoyed.
She even managed to bump into her own half here. Once she absorbs the Gem of Desire, she might not be able to escape.
"Drink~"
Wendy made the first move, and a tornado shot from the center of the green-haired girl's palms toward Sirin, seemingly trying to use the wind pressure to tear her apart.
"Hmph! You're nothing but an ant, yet you dare to rebel against me."
Numerous black holes appeared behind the Queen, and a barrage of aerial spears, denser than raindrops, hurtled towards Wendy.
The barrage of bullets formed by the tornado and the spear of the sub-space collided. At first glance, they seemed evenly matched, but Wendy's performance was indeed quite strained. She was sweating profusely and her breathing became faster and faster.
Soon, the Queen gained the upper hand.
The moment the barrage broke through the tornado, Wendy could only desperately dodge the incoming spears.
Just then, Xilin's lips curled into a smile, and seizing the opportunity, she snapped her fingers.
Several pitch-black imaginary cubes pressed towards Wendy, whose movements froze for a moment as she dodged the spears of the subspace.
"Ah~"
Hearing the melodious scream, Sirin condensed a high-concentration energy ball in her hand, stepped forward, and mercilessly pressed it onto Wendy's lower abdomen before shoving her to the ground.
Wendy slid a distance on the ground and then stopped, unable to move any further.
Her delicate body twitched occasionally.
"Even among Herrschers, is the difference really this great?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Xingyue, I am unable to complete the task you assigned me..."
Wendy's vision gradually blurred, and she could only hear the clattering of high heels slowly approaching.
Suddenly, her blue pupils flickered, and a memory surfaced in her mind.
"Really? Is that so?"
Wendy forced a bitter and helpless smile onto her face, which was stiff with pain.
Yes, she remembered everything, including what Xingyue had done to her.
However, she couldn't bring herself to dislike Xingyue; no one had ever been so kind to her before.
Wendy recalled how, when the Herrscher of the Void tried to do something to her, Xingyue grabbed the arm that was about to hurt her and angrily endured the culprit's actions.
Perhaps, in Xingyue's heart, she truly considered her family?
Unfortunately, I realized it too late.
Two crystal tears slowly dripped down Wendy's cheeks, as if lamenting the tragic life of a young girl.
Driven by an unattainable ideal, she willingly became a vessel for the jewel she craved. But instead of being revered, she was gradually isolated, even by her former close friends.
The so-called friendship that existed before has completely vanished at this moment.
Everyone was afraid, afraid that she was carrying a time bomb and would explode at any moment.
Clearly, she did it all for them...
Only that person.
The image of that person resurfaced in Wendy's mind.
If only I had met you sooner, and if possible, I hope for the next life...
With that hope in mind, Wendy closed her eyes in despair.
Celine, unaware of Wendy's thoughts, approached the frail girl lying on the ground step by step, her cold face devoid of any emotion.
He lifted himself up and stomped hard on Wendy, while simultaneously gathering energy in his hands once more.
"My other half, let it become one with me again!"
Sirin reached for Wendy's groin, determined to seize the coveted gem.
But when her hand was only a dozen centimeters away from Wendy, it was grabbed by another hand once again.
"Cirin, I've already given you a chance. I told you not to hurt her, right?"
Same target, same method, same sense of oppression, same force, same sound.
The Queen experienced it twice in such a short period of time.
"Damn it! Why? Why is it always just a little bit short at the crucial moment?"
Xilin pulled her hand back, stomped her feet on the floor in a fit of rage, and went into a state of frenzy.
She was so close to getting the gem she longed for.
"So, Sirin, are you prepared?"
The girl with frizzy hair had murderous intent in her eyes as she stretched out her palm and aimed it at the queen. A highly concentrated white light slowly condensed in her palm.
Upon seeing this, the Queen's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, but she did not sit idly by and wait for her death; instead, she leaped into the air.
"Stop joking, I can't die here yet."
The Queen glanced at the green-haired girl behind Xingyue, and after confirming that she wouldn't dodge, she frantically hurled Void Spears, Imaginary Cubes, and highly concentrated energy beams at Xingyue.
Her reckless output mode is as if her Honkai energy is free.
The explosion stirred up a thick fog in that area.
Sirin finally couldn't withstand such high-intensity output, and her attacks gradually weakened and eventually stopped.
After the smoke cleared, the unharmed woman in the snow-white dress came into view.
The ball of light in her palm had completely condensed.
"After you finish this episode, you'd better go and repent properly, Sirin!"
A beam of light, several meters in diameter, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, hurtled toward Sirin at an extremely fast speed.
An explosion followed, and the blast ruffled the girl's blue hair.
After being hit, Sirin was enveloped in white steam, her eyes rolled back, and she lost consciousness.
"Um?"
Suddenly feeling a cool breeze from behind, Xingyue casually raised the palm of her other hand.
The next moment, the fist struck the palm.
"Kiana, Bronya, I'm here to save you."
"Inch-force ~ Heaven-opening".
The white-haired woman shouted sternly.
"what!"
The person who understood the law changed his expression.
It seemed as if his move had been neutralized by the opponent in some way, without causing the slightest ripple.
Xingyue frowned slightly, and looked up at the white-haired, red-eyed figure exuding black energy through her palms and arms.
"So, it was you who was draining my energy just now?"
"The Ruler of Knowledge."
I'll be adding more chapters, hoping for your support (hint). But I always feel like the quality has dropped with two chapters a day, I don't know if it's just my perception.
Also, at the request of readers, a small section at the end of this chapter has been revised. The author was a bit tired from writing two chapters a day, so I didn't notice it (sadly).
Chapter Twenty: Knowing the Law, You'll Get a Penalty for Refusing a Toast!
In the previous consciousness space, Xingyue was initially unaccustomed to consciousness battles, so Fu Hua managed to fight against her for a while.
But once she adapted, she quickly defeated Fu Hua, sealing her in a mental prison within her own consciousness.
However, to be honest, she was really disappointed! She thought that a 50,000-year-old fusion warrior would allow her to enjoy herself, but even though she narrowed the gap a bit through the battle of consciousness, the difference between the two was still insurmountable.
For example, in a normal battle, Fu Hua is at level 10 (peak level 50), and Xingyue is at level 2000. But in a battle of awareness, Fu Hua is at level 100, and Xingyue is at level 1500...
The gap remains unsurprisingly large.
In truth, she overestimated Fu Hua. After all, she possessed the consciousness of a planetary-level Honkai Beast, controlling such a massive and powerful body; how could her soul power be lacking?
"But this is really troublesome!"
Xingyue looked at the Herald of Knowledge with a somewhat languid gaze.
One after another, it was as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up.
The good news is that now only Shi Bao remains in the main group, so Mei is definitely out of trouble for the time being.
The main reason was that Mei and Kiana would encourage each other if they were together, so she didn't choose to bring Mei along.
Theresa, who was on the island's ground, was also bound up with her tentacles, just like Benares.
"A short burst of power can cause a mountain to collapse."
"Inch force..."
As Xingyue pondered, she effortlessly raised one hand to block Shi Bao's attack.
In fact, she didn't use any method to counter the move; she simply blocked it in a very straightforward and crude way.
However, in the eyes of the Herrscher of Knowledge, the sea-haired girl's skills and techniques appeared to be extremely profound, causing each of his attacks to leave no trace.
"It seems we have no choice but to use that method."
Xingyue's gaze was somewhat surprised, but it quickly turned into contempt.
The surrounding space is being covered by thick black mist.
Clearly, the Herrscher of Knowledge is also trying to pull her into the illusionary battle, following Fu Hua's old path.
Upon noticing the disdainful look in the other person's eyes, the Lawbringer was furious, clenching his fists and speaking with a stern expression.
