What kind of Herrscher am I?
What Herrscher could a normal human like me be? The Herrscher of Humanity?
Luo Li felt that he was really being overestimated. He had seen the power of these Herrschers in Schicksal's archives.
The Herrscher named Sirin in front of him, although she seemed dazed and gave off a sense of innocent simplicity...
Luo Li was well aware that in her prime, she had almost crippled the two major factions of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
This showed just how terrifying a true Herrscher was.
If he really were the so-called Herrscher of Domination, would he still need to be so polite here?
He would have already marched on World Serpent and sent that Eve packing!
He could roughly understand why Sirin thought he was a Herrscher. It was probably due to the spatial connection between them.
Even Kiana could locate him in Shicksal Pharmaceuticals based on this connection. It was impossible for Sirin, who had a deeper control over the authority, not to be able to do so.
This was a beautiful misunderstanding.
But Luo Li saw an opportunity in it.
So, in response to Sirin's question, Luo Li neither denied it nor agreed.
He just showed a gentle smile and looked at her quietly.
But Sirin had already confirmed her guess.
At the same time, another doubt arose in her heart.
This Herrscher with the authority of domination claimed to be the proxy of the Apocalypse Cult, and above him, there was an existence he called the Holy See.
To be able to make a Herrscher with the authority of domination willingly be dominated by him, what kind of existence was this so-called Holy See?
At this thought, Sirin couldn't help but feel shocked, and at the same time, she lamented the changes in the world.
Since losing contact with 'God', she, the Herrscher of the Void, seemed to have been forgotten by the world, and she had no idea what had happened to the world after her fall.
She didn't even know that such a powerful existence had appeared in this world, and it seemed that that Holy See was probably even closer to God than she was...
Luo Li watched as shock, anger, vigilance, lament, and relief flashed across Sirin's face. The richness of her emotional changes made him want to sigh.
Are you Herrschers so full of humanity?
But since Sirin believed he was also a Herrscher, this was a good thing.
In that case, he had ample reason to convince her to join him, to tie her to his war chariot and push things forward.
Luo Li looked at Raven and Ghost beside him and saw that they didn't believe Sirin's words.
By now, the two of them had basically guessed that Luo Li was probably planning to use this Herrscher as a pawn.
So Luo Li clapped his hands gently, pulling Sirin out of her thoughts, and then solemnly requested.
"Please, Miss Herrscher, join us in reforging the glory of Honkai!"
"That organization that has been chasing you, calling itself World Serpent, is brewing an even bigger conspiracy."
"Once they succeed, humanity will completely lose the opportunity to embrace Honkai. Their actions have touched our bottom line!"
World Serpent?
To be honest, Sirin had basically no impression of this organization before today, but now, she had no good feelings about it at all.
First, they sent hunters to capture her while she was weak.
What made Sirin even more angry and unforgivable was their act of treating life as a consumable and conducting inhumane experiments.
Compared to the former, the latter made her even more angry.
So, if she had the chance, she would definitely not mind destroying this so-called organization.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Very good, I've finally caught your interest.
Looking at her innocent appearance, Luo Li even felt a trace of guilt in his heart, but this guilt was quickly discarded.
There was no need for mercy towards the enemy, and there was no need to care about what means were used. With such a huge disparity in power, he needed to put every bit of strength in the right place.
So Luo Li told Sirin about the verification of the Stigmata Project that World Serpent was carrying out in ARK City.
And as expected, after listening to Luo Li's narration, Sirin instantly became furious.
She exuded a strong aggressiveness, like a pufferfish that had been provoked and was covered in thorns.
"Damn World Serpent!"
"How dare these so-called things?"
The reason for Sirin's anger was naturally the Stigmata Project that World Serpent was verifying. This thing had completely touched her bottom line as a Herrscher.
It was even more unforgivable than Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were just futilely fighting against Honkai. For Sirin, who knew the true power of Honkai, their struggle seemed futile and ridiculous.
Even if they could defeat her, defeat one after another of her kind, at the end of the road, they would discover what the terror of the End was.
But this organization called World Serpent was different. They didn't participate in this futile struggle, but wanted to directly break away.
If Honkai was compared to an exam, then what Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were doing was trying to pass the exam by various means.
But this organization, World Serpent, they wanted to directly give up the exam, and even wanted to smash the examination hall!
Once their Stigmata Project succeeded, humanity would completely bid farewell to Honkai. Their actions were not allowed by God.
And it was also something that Sirin absolutely could not accept.
If all of humanity escaped the judgment of Honkai, how could she take revenge on all of humanity?!
So in Sirin's eyes, World Serpent was more deserving of death than Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
"This World Serpent is simply the public enemy of Honkai!" Sirin gritted her teeth. "We cannot ignore the future of Honkai. We must stop them!"
"That thing called Eve, right? We must kill that so-called thing!"
For a proud Herrscher like Sirin, to obey someone else's command, and even have her authority taken away by someone else, was something she would never agree to in normal times.
But as the saying goes, that was then, this is now.
If they didn't work together to thwart World Serpent's Stigmata Project, when World Serpent succeeded, they would all be optimized!
Luo Li gave Raven and Ghost a look, and then the two of them also showed great indignation.
"Yeah, yeah!"
"How could World Serpent be so bad!"
While Raven and Ghost were expressing their indignation, they couldn't help but admire Luo Li.
With just a few words, he had pulled a Herrscher onto his war chariot, making two enemies who might have been against him fight each other.
But after the impassioned speech, Sirin suddenly discovered a rather embarrassing thing.
That is, she didn't seem to have enough power to defeat Eve...
Damn it, it's all Siegfried's fault, and that guy who took over his body!
Sirin clutched her heart, feeling the coldness coming from the Herrscher core, and couldn't help but curse in her heart.
But since Luo Li had considered pulling Sirin into the front line, he had naturally thought about her power problem.
He didn't know why Sirin had become so weak, but he knew how to make a Herrscher strong.
That was Honkai energy, enough Honkai energy!
Schicksal's textbooks had a detailed explanation of the cause of the birth of a Herrscher.
As long as the Honkai energy concentration exceeded 2000 HW, it was possible for a Herrscher to be born, which was also the starting line for a Herrscher.
And coincidentally, during the operation to enter Shicksal Pharmaceuticals, Luo Li discovered that World Serpent had also built a Honkai energy reactor in ARK City.
Perhaps it was to provide enough power for the huge theme park, or perhaps it was a reserve for their so-called Stigmata Project verification.
The result was that, reflected in the dream, there was also a Honkai energy reactor in Eden that corresponded to reality.
Its energy level was quite large. If it exploded, it would definitely cause a major Honkai eruption with an energy value of more than 3000 HW.
If it were in the real world, of course, they couldn't do this. After all, Luo Li was here to save people, not to kill people.
But the place they were in now was Eden, which was constructed from the dreams of all living beings.
According to Fu Hua, an absolute rule in the dream was—there is no death in the dream. Those who die are just forgotten by the dream.
For Eve, this rule made her immortal.
And for Luo Li, this meant that he could completely let go and do some unconventional operations that could not be carried out in the physical world.
To awaken everyone who was sleeping in Eden!
If Eve was to use the dreams of all living beings to build an eternally sinking Eden, then he would light a heavenly fire that would burn Sodom and give Eden a complete destruction.
Luo Li explained to the others, "Eve, as the incarnation of the dream, is equivalent to everyone in the dream providing her with power."
"Everyone in the dream is a pillar that supports Eve's existence."
"To defeat Eve, we must make these people go offline as much as possible."
And when Luo Li told them about his intention to detonate the Honkai energy reactor in Eden, the way they looked at him instantly changed.
Although Raven and Ghost already knew that there was no concept of death in the dream from the previous conversation...
They were still shocked by Luo Li's world-shaking wisdom.
And Sirin's gaze at Luo Li now carried a certain respect, and also a certain loss.
After her power was sealed, she had also thought about detonating a Honkai energy reactor to trigger a major Honkai eruption, in order to obtain a large amount of Honkai energy to break the seal.
But because she was being monitored by Schicksal's spies, she couldn't carry it out. In the end, she could only accumulate Honkai energy by hunting Deadwalkers and Honkai Beasts by pretending to be Kiana.
But she didn't expect that Luo Li would actually plan to carry out this idea.
Of course, there were some things that Luo Li didn't say because of Sirin's presence, but Raven and Ghost could both realize.
Death in the dream was not real death, but if you died, you would probably have some psychological shadows after waking up in reality. Choosing to detonate the Honkai energy reactor was essentially to prevent a large number of psychological patients in ARK City.
After all, with an excessive amount of Honkai energy sweeping through, most people with insufficient resistance would be turned into ashes. As for those with sufficient resistance, they were few in number and could not affect the overall situation.
In summary, Eden was still too urbanized.
At this thought, Luo Li turned his head and looked at his companions.
"Before we act, let's discuss a few backup plans to prevent any irresistible accidents."
Soon, the few of them finalized the next action plan.
Finally, Luo Li glanced at everyone and said, "Let's begin."
Then, he left the bar first, pushing open the door and walking out.
The others had no objections. Even the usually proud Sirin didn't object, but just quietly followed behind Luo Li.
But after pushing open the door, they were all stunned.
Because at this moment, the sky was undergoing a drastic change.
The original dream was at noon.
But at this moment, the sun had disappeared at some point, and the sky was covered with a dark night curtain.
And on that night curtain, a sky full of stars twinkled, like diamonds dotted on a luxurious curtain.
If you only looked at this scene, it would be a very beautiful picture.
But on that night curtain, a rift emitting a faint purple light, like a cut torn by a dagger on the curtain, left a regret in the beautiful night sky.
The moment he saw that rift, Luo Li understood that behind the rift was the special dimension called the Stigmata Space.
He could even see that as time passed, the deep rift on the night curtain was constantly expanding.
It was only a matter of time before it swallowed the entire city.
Luo Li understood that once the entire Eden fell into the Stigmata Space, everything would be irreversible.
He turned his head and looked at his companions, whose expressions were different due to the scene before them.
Ghost was surprised.
And Raven was much calmer. As a high-ranking officer of World Serpent, she had already seen the scene before her.
As for Sirin, she was like a child who was still curious about the world, looking at the scenery in the sky with great curiosity.
After noticing Luo Li's gaze, she quickly withdrew her gaze and raised her head to show her disdain.
After observing for a while, Luo Li said slowly:
"The process of the dream falling into the Stigmata Space has already begun. Before it's too late, we must defeat Eve and then let Eden disintegrate."
"Once the entire Eden falls into the Stigmata Space, World Serpent's plan will succeed, which is a nightmare that none of us want to see."
At Luo Li's words, Sirin deeply agreed.
"We cannot ignore the future of Honkai. When I recover my strength, I will kill that so-called thing called Eve."
Although her power had not yet recovered, her spirit seemed to have returned to her peak.
Her golden eyes contained a full sense of majesty, and one hand was clenched tightly in front of her.
"When we get out, we will find World Serpent's nest and destroy them all, without leaving a single one!"
Hearing Sirin's domineering declaration, Luo Li felt that she was a bit too confident.
But being confident is always a good thing... right?
Finally, Luo Li no longer dwelled on this issue and began to prepare to implement the plan.
When he entered Shicksal Pharmaceuticals to assassinate Jackal, he had already obtained the layout of Shicksal Pharmaceuticals.
He naturally knew where the huge Honkai energy reactor hidden in Eden was.
Whether they could let Sirin recover her strength, whether they could completely weaken Eve, all the decisive factors were there.
The coordinates he had memorized appeared in Luo Li's mind, and then the spatial authority from Sirin was activated.
A gate leading to the Honkai energy reactor had been opened.
The few of them exchanged a look, speechless.
Finally, they passed through this spatial door one after another.
But after passing through this door, a figure blocked their way, as if waiting for a long time.
It was a girl in a white robe, with snow-white long hair and sapphire-like eyes.
She always had a holy smile on her face, and her eyes brewed a motherly tenderness.
But what attracted Luo Li more was still her appearance, which was almost a nine-out-of-ten resemblance to Kiana.
And Luo Li couldn't imagine how Kiana's face could show a motherly tenderness.
The hearts of the group once again became vigilant.
Blocking their way was the nominal master of this dream, the collective consciousness of tens of millions of people.
—The psychic Eve.
After seeing the few of them, a gentle but firm voice came from her mouth.
"You running dogs of Honkai who are trying to destroy Eden, stop here!"
"As the guardian of the dream, I will never let you harm anyone here!"
"No matter what the cost, humanity will definitely defeat you!"
While feeling the pressure coming from her, Luo Li also had a strong desire to complain about her words.
"Who's the real villain here?!"
