Since Ryn could confirm Sirin's location, the group prepared to go and pick up Sin, who had entered the Stigmata Space with Yiselian.
But when the three of them arrived at the meeting point, all they heard were explosions and a madwoman's crazed laughter...
"Die, trash!" "Too weak, too weak! Aren't there any stronger ones?" "Just die for me! Ahahahaha—"
Sin was tearing Honkai Creatures to pieces with distorted fields one moment, then suddenly tossing grenades to blow them sky-high the next. The wild, confident, and crazed smile on her face... oh no, she was even more unhinged than the Sin from his own world.
"Guh... that girl is making such a scene." Yiselian complained, completely exasperated.
Seeing Yiselian arrive, Sin stopped her slaughter.
When Sin turned around to look at them, Yiselian immediately shouted at her angrily.
"Hey! Didn't I tell you to wait quietly? What do you think you're doing! And where did you get those clothes!! Didn't I tell you not to interact with them!"
Sin interrupted Yiselian impatiently, glaring fiercely at her.
"What are you yelling about! I'm just warming up here. Got a problem with that, Yiselian!"
"No... Ah, forget it... This is the helper I was talking about, Sin Mal. You've seen her strength. She's pretty good as a fighter..."
After being glared at fiercely by Sin, Yiselian didn't want to argue with her anymore. If she kept it up, Sin would probably just charge over and beat her up.
"Hmph, hmm? I just noticed, why are there two Ryns?"
Sin circled Ryn and Penglaiji Ryn curiously, then put an arm around Penglaiji Ryn, flashing her healthy smile and giving a thumbs-up.
"Bronya had some good things to say about you. I didn't expect your subconscious to be this wild! But this puts my mind at ease. At least your preferences are normal, so you won't be fighting me for Bronya and Seele!"
"Huh? I think you've misunderstood something..."
Penglaiji Ryn blinked in confusion. Why did everyone keep saying that? What had she been up to in her subconscious...
But Sin ignored Penglaiji Ryn and turned to look at Ryn.
"Your aura feels very wrong!"
"Heh~ Take a guess! And as it turns out, no matter what, I still really don't like you."
Ryn said with a smile, grabbing Sin's head with one hand. The Authority of Creation activated instantly.
Sin, who was supposed to have short hair, suddenly found her hair growing long. Two cute little buns were tied on either side, and the rest of her fluffy, long hair cascaded down to her waist...
Feeling her hair touch her cheeks, Sin froze completely. Three seconds later, she let out a heaven-shattering scream of rage.
"Aaaah! You bastard! What did you do to me!!"
"Just a little gift. No need to thank me."
"Aaaah, I'll kill you, you bastard!"
"Quiet, quiet~ Didn't you just say not to make a fuss!"
Off to the side, Yiselian watched Sin, who looked both furious and happy but didn't want anyone to see her inner delight, forcing herself to cry and make a scene. Yiselian couldn't help but snicker to herself.
Yiselian took a few more glances at Sin, memorizing her appearance to get a photo printed later. The next time Sin tried to bully her, she'd use the photo as blackmail.
(Huh, why is the grass on Yiselian's grave already three meters tall?)
"Alright, alright... stop messing around. Let's get going."
"Grrr— Grrr—"
Sin was so angry she was about to grind her shark-like teeth to dust. Cut her hair? It was so long now, she'd hate to cut it... Don't cut it? She couldn't stand that Ryn had just made her hair grow without her permission.
Forget it... It's probably just like this in this world. It should go back to normal when she returns.
Penglaiji Ryn: "Okay, okay, stop fighting. Since everyone's here, let's head to our destination."
Sin flicked her hair and cheered, "Finally, we can go! This crazy world, get ready for my arrival! Algae-head, why didn't you let me near the Hyperion? Were you afraid Bronya and I would fight?"
"It was mainly for safety. This is a Stigmata world. The Bronya, Seele, Himeko, and Theresa who live here all have complete consciousnesses. The more you interact with them, the more you understand their significance. In the five years after the Great Honkai Eruption, they experienced all sorts of setbacks and hardships, all of which are real and complete memories. Therefore... like us, they are irreplaceable beings in this world.
So, if we want to introduce a new consciousness into this world, we need to avoid conflict with their existing counterparts... otherwise, it will be like what's happening with me now, where I've replaced the original Yiselian's existence."
"Huh? Don't get it. What do you mean?"
"It's simple... This world already has a Bronya and a Seele, so we can't let the Bronya and Seele from our world in, as it would make this world even more unstable. It might be like when I came in, causing the Honkai to become active again..."
"Wait, causing the Honkai to become active again! That was you, Yiselian!! I thought it was because I was absorbing things randomly..."
Penglaiji Ryn grabbed Yiselian by the collar and shook her vigorously.
"*Cough, cough*, I didn't know it would happen back then... Who would have thought your Stigmata Space would evolve into a whole world..."
Ryn pulled the two apart. "Forget it, what's done is done. Besides, we have a solution now... Let's find the Second Herrscher's core first!"
"So now we have another problem... According to the map, the place you sensed, Ryn, is at St. Freya High School, hundreds of kilometers away from Nagazora City..."
"Yiselian, did you forget something? The one we're looking for is the Second Herrscher—the Herrscher of the Void... What does distance matter to her~"
Ryn put an arm around Penglaiji Ryn and connected with the sliver of Sirin's power within her.
Penglaiji Ryn currently had five types of power inside her: Ryn's, her own, Kiana's, Mei's, and the last one, Sirin's.
Since he had Sirin's power as a beacon, Ryn could contact Sirin.
In another dimension, a lovely girl with long pink hair, dressed in a pure white gown, was sitting on a crashed battleship, softly singing to herself~
"Sirin, you there? We're coming to beat you up, mind opening the door?"
Hearing Ryn's voice, the corners of Sirin's lips curled up slightly, and she let out a bell-like, enchanting laugh.
"Such an annoying fellow... Sirin left so many obvious spatial doors for you, couldn't you be bothered to look for them!"
Sirin pouted, then, sensing the coordinates Ryn had just sent, she lightly swiped her finger in that direction.
A spatial portal immediately opened in front of Ryn and the others.
