Hearing this simple request, Sirin nodded without hesitation.
Soon, Anti-Entropy members arrived, including Welt Yang, while Schicksal's forces were still on their way.
Commanding countless Honkai beasts, Sirin directed them to destroy Anti-Entropy's robots.
"As a Herrscher, must you always be an enemy of humanity? I hope we can talk this out!"
Looking up at Sirin in the sky, Welt Yang tried to use his persuasion skills.
"Sure, let's talk. Help me destroy Schicksal first."
"Although I dislike Schicksal, there are innocent people among them. We can't generalize."
At first, when Welt Yang heard Sirin was willing to talk, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.
He thought she might be another Herrscher who could fight for humanity.
But the next moment, Sirin demanded he destroy Schicksal before they could talk.
"Hmph, so it's okay for us to be used as lab rats? The Stigmata on their bodies were built from our corpses. Are we not innocent?"
"This..."
"Speechless, huh? You know, you're really disgusting, standing on your moral high ground and pointing fingers.
If you had suffered what I have, you might not be so virtuous. Don't preach about kindness without experiencing others' pain."
"???"
Watching the satellite feed, Chang Yuan was completely baffled.
What the hell? Since when did that inflated pufferfish become so eloquent? When did she get so cultured?
Unlike Kiana, Sirin had always been eager to learn as a child, but due to her family circumstances, she never had the chance.
Schicksal gave her that opportunity, and she naturally cherished it.
Though she was terrible at science, she was decent at literature.
Seeing Sirin's stubbornness, Welt Yang knew he couldn't reason with her.
So he took out the 9th Divine Key, Eden's Star.
"In that case, I will declare war on you on behalf of all humanity!"
"Fine! Then I'll destroy the entire world!"
Sirin shouted this from the bottom of her heart.
Welt Yang's words had really made her blood boil.
But the outcome was clear. Although Welt Yang was the Herrscher of Reason and wielded the 9th Divine Key, the gap between them was still significant.
In the original timeline, the Herrscher of Reason had narrowly won, but that was because Sirin had been overconfident.
This time, Sirin wasn't just confident—she was also cultured.
Thus, Welt Yang was defeated without any surprises.
"Ant, you've lost~☆."
Looking at the badly beaten Welt Yang, Sirin's eyes flickered with a hint of pity, but she didn't show any mercy.
After all, she had been told beforehand that everyone else might die, but this man definitely wouldn't.
So she could go all out without worry.
"Cough! Even if I've lost, Schicksal will still come. Their power is beyond your imagination."
"Oh? What if I use my spatial powers to redirect a meteor from outside the planet to strike the Earth's core? Do you think that could destroy the world?"
"You!"
Hearing Sirin's extreme proposal, Welt Yang's pupils shrank.
He thought about it and realized the plan was terrifyingly feasible.
"So you're scared too, huh? Well then, it's time for you to die."
Without hesitation, Sirin delivered a heartfelt blow to Welt Yang.
Thanks to the false memories of hatred, she felt no guilt or disgust about doing this.
She took the Herrscher core and tried to see if she could use it.
To her delight, she found that she could, which meant she, Sirin, had the potential to be the savior.
After finishing her task, Sirin teleported back to the Babylon Tower.
"Big brother, what's next in the script? I totally crushed that guy. Haha, he's so weak!"
Finding Hua, Sirin eagerly asked about the next part of the plan.
Hearing the term "big brother" again, Hua felt her fist tighten, but she resisted the urge to punch someone and explained the next steps.
However, the next part of the script made Sirin's golden eyes dim.
"I'm going to die? But I'm the protagonist! Shouldn't the savior be me? I don't care, I don't care! I want to be the savior!"
Sirin lay on the ground, rolling around like a little girl, shouting, "I don't care, I don't care!"
Hua sighed and rubbed her forehead.
This was what dealing with a little girl was like. She really wasn't cut out for this.
"Sirin, you need to understand that the savior isn't just one person, and you don't necessarily have to be the savior to make a difference. The savior is just the one who plays the most critical role.
If you insist on being the protagonist, it might lead to unforeseen consequences. If that happens, humanity's hope of defeating the Honkai will grow even slimmer. Do you really want that?"
Of course, these words didn't come from Hua. She was wearing an earpiece, and Otto, with his high emotional intelligence, had her repeat his words.
Hearing this, Sirin fell into deep thought.
Finally, her eyes shone with determination as she looked up at Hua.
"You're right, big brother. The savior shouldn't be just one person. I'll do it—for the future."
"...Good. Then I'll leave it to you. To avoid any plot holes, we haven't told the others, so you might get a little hurt."
"It's just a few injuries. I can heal myself. It's all for a future without the Honkai."
Taking a deep breath, Sirin psyched herself up.
Then she found a spot to sit and waited for the next part of the story to begin.
Meanwhile, Otto ordered Siegfried and Cecilia to lead her Snow Wolf Squad to the scene, along with a certain clueless Theresa.
When they arrived at the snowfield, Hua notified Sirin that it was time to begin.
"Then wait here, big brother. The Savior of Light, Sirin, is off to save the day~☆."
Using her spatial powers, Sirin appeared on the snowfield. The moment she arrived, everyone noticed her.
Everyone knew this Herrscher was different—she had defeated the Herrscher of Reason, the leader of Anti-Entropy, and taken his core.
With the power she had displayed earlier, this Herrscher was unprecedented, wielding six authorities.
"Challengers, step forward. Let's see if you can protect this world."
