Chapter 24 - Time to Wake Up, Dreamers

"Traitor to humanity! Running dog of the Honkai! I will never allow you to destroy Eden!"

In front of Luo Li and his companions...

A girl in a pristine white robe, with white hair and blue eyes, and a face of pure holiness, righteously condemned them.

Coupled with the sacred aura she exuded, for a moment, Luo Li had an illusion.

It was as if she were the hero saving the world, and he and his companions were the villains preparing to destroy it.

"This is completely backward!" Luo Li felt like he was bursting with complaints.

However, she didn't attack them right away...

A certain guess appeared in his mind.

And behind him, both Raven and Ghost felt the same tension. After all, no matter how you looked at it, they were the ones saving the city.

Only Sirin showed a different reaction. Unlike Luo Li and the others, as the Herrscher of the Void, she felt as if the other party was praising her.

But there was one thing that made her unhappy.

"Damn ant! I am an apostle of God! Not a running dog!"

Sirin was furious.

Sirin started hissing at Eve.

On top of that, Eve had the same face as her, which also made Sirin extremely unhappy.

After all, sharing a face with Kiana was already frustrating enough. Now, any stray cat or dog could come and claim her likeness!

It was unbearable!

And Sirin's words successfully caught Eve's attention. She turned her gaze to Sirin.

And so, the strange aura on Sirin was also captured by Eve.

She immediately realized that this person, so weak that she couldn't even be bothered to look at her, was actually a Herrscher!

Instantly, a terrifying killing intent seemed to materialize and fall on Sirin, as if to crush her to dust.

"Damn Herrscher!"

"Damn Honkai!"

The terrifying killing intent made Sirin instinctively hide behind Luo Li, using him as a shield.

She was proud, not stupid. She knew the gap between her and the other party at this moment.

Before her power was restored, this Eve could crush her with one hand.

When I get my power back, I'll let this ant know the wrath of a Herrscher.

But for now, she had to continue to bide her time.

But for Sirin, even if she lost, she couldn't lose face.

So, from a distance, she glared fiercely at Eve.

And watching Sirin's actions, Luo Li was a little speechless.

Even though he had some understanding of Sirin's personality before...

But at this moment, his impression of Herrschers was shattered.

According to Schicksal's textbooks, as the vanguard of the Honkai, shouldn't Herrschers be cold and ruthless, devoid of humanity, existing only as cold killing machines?

Why was this one so full of humanity?

Luo Li was confused.

But now was not the time to dwell on this issue, because he found that even though Eve was full of killing intent towards them, she still hadn't made any further moves.

She was just blocking their way to the Honkai energy reactor, not directly attacking.

In that case...

The authority of the Herrscher of the Void was driven by Luo Li, and a spatial rift opened in front of him.

Luo Li took out his gun and fired several shots at the spatial rift in front of him.

And at the same time, in front of Eve, bullets appeared out of thin air and hit her.

A gun driven by Honkai energy, its power could deal with Deadwalkers and some lower-level Honkai Beasts.

But with the power Eve had shown, it was almost impossible for it to have any effect on her.

That's what they all thought.

But to everyone's surprise, when these bullets hit Eve, they actually caused a few splashes of blood.

Luo Li verified his guess and shouted to Raven and Ghost, "Attack! This one is not in a good state!"

In fact, there was no need for Luo Li's order. After he fired, Raven had already rushed out first.

She instantly crossed the distance between them and arrived in front of Eve.

Then, her fingers glowed with a scarlet light, and she tore fiercely at Eve in front of her.

"How dare you... ah!!!"

Under Raven's attack, Eve let out a scream like a groundhog.

A pair of white, glowing wing-like phantoms appeared in front of her, enveloping her in a tight protection.

But when Raven's fingers, stained with scarlet light, slashed across Eve's body like a claw...

The two pairs of wings that embraced Eve were easily split in half, like a utility knife cutting through paper.

Without paying any attention to her scream, Raven launched a second attack. This time, it landed on Eve's body.

Bang!

Like glass falling to the ground...

Eve's body, after being torn apart by Raven, also turned into pieces of crystal, and then quickly disintegrated.

Raven was stunned. Even Ghost and Luo Li, who were about to move forward, were stunned.

Luo Li had guessed that Eve's state should be problematic, but he didn't expect her to be such a paper tiger, so vulnerable.

Although Raven's strength was indeed very strong, being able to achieve such a result so easily was still incredible to everyone.

"So she was just a paper tiger!" Sirin felt that she had been too cautious just now, to be fooled by such a thing.

Raven and Ghost also felt it was incredible.

"Is... is it over just like that?" Ghost felt it was a little unbelievable. She had thought a hard battle was waiting for her, but who knew it would end so abruptly.

Only Luo Li wasn't surprised... well, maybe a little surprised.

After Eve appeared, when she didn't attack them at the first moment, Luo Li had already been suspicious.

After all, when he had first faced this one outside, she hadn't been so wishy-washy!

She had attacked as soon as they met. If it weren't for Fu Hua's help, he would have become her dog by now.

At that time, Luo Li knew that Eve was definitely not as holy as she appeared. If she had the chance, she would definitely kill them without mercy.

And since she was so wishy-washy, it meant that she either had some scruples, or there was something wrong with her state.

No matter what she was planning, one thing was certain.

The more the enemy wants to achieve something, the more you have to destroy it.

So, Luo Li acted.

And the result was surprisingly good.

But after Eve was defeated so easily, Luo Li didn't let his guard down.

He had personally experienced her power and didn't believe this monster would be defeated so easily.

But no matter whether she was dead or not, it didn't affect him carrying out the plan he had just made.

The real world wasn't turn-based either. Neither the enemy nor they would just wait for the enemy's next move.

So the moment Eve was torn apart by Raven, Luo Li opened a spatial rift in front of him.

Then he pulled the still dazed Sirin, preparing to take this opportunity to go to the Honkai energy reactor and settle the battle.

No matter what the other party was planning, he would first blow up the Honkai energy reactor and completely weaken the other party's power.

But just as Luo Li opened the spatial door, he suddenly felt the existence of a third spatial power besides him and Sirin.

The spatial door he had opened to the Honkai energy reactor was interfered with by this power and instantly collapsed.

At the same time, a series of golden ribbons suddenly appeared beside him and Sirin. Taking advantage of Luo Li's momentary lapse in concentration, a murderous intent was revealed!

"Be careful!"

As the true master of the spatial authority, Sirin's sensitivity to spatial power surpassed Luo Li's.

So when these blades formed by spatial power were about to cut them, she had already noticed and immediately reminded him.

To be honest, this attack was quite dangerous for Luo Li.

He had thought that Eve should not be dead and would definitely continue to make trouble.

But he didn't expect that she could also manipulate spatial abilities.

When did the authority of the Herrscher of the Void become so common?

This was indeed beyond Luo Li's expectations and caught him off guard.

But as the saying goes...

That was then, this is now.

After establishing a connection with that shy, bespectacled girl, Fu Hua, a large amount of martial arts experience was poured into his mind, as if he had been taught by a peerless master in a wuxia novel.

Because of the existence of Honkai energy, there were indeed some magical martial arts in this world, which were essentially a way to drive Honkai energy.

It was as if he had practiced diligently on plum blossom stakes for countless winters and summers, and had acquired a set of skilled footwork.

Luo Li pulled Sirin back and, like a nimble swallow skimming the water, dodged left and right within a very dangerous range.

Finally, he rushed out before those spatial blades completely blocked all routes.

And after rushing out of the encirclement, Sirin's face was also extremely shocked.

"Why can someone else use the spatial authority?" Sirin couldn't accept it, and there was even a hint of grievance. "God clearly said this was my unique authority..."

But Eve wouldn't care about Sirin's small disappointment.

Although on Luo Li's side, because of his keen perception of space and Luo Li's quick reaction, the two of them managed to escape the murderous intent...

But on the other side, Raven and Ghost, or rather, Ghost was not so lucky.

Raven could still escape from the attack with her powerful reaction, but Ghost, as an intelligence-type Valkyrie who was not good at combat...

Facing the current situation, it was really a bit of a bully.

Before she could feel her body about to fall apart, she fiercely raised her middle finger to her front.

"Schicksal curse!!!"

Then, she was forced to go offline.

There was no time to grieve for Ghost's passing. At this time, Eve, who had been hiding in the dark, finally revealed herself.

But this time, the Eve who appeared in front of everyone had obviously shrunk by more than a circle compared to the previous one.

And her face, no longer had the holy look from before, but was filled with a look of deep hatred, as if she wanted to devour someone!

"Damn running dogs of Honkai!"

"Damn traitors to humanity!"

"It's all your fault for forcing me to be born early!"

Eve's voice was filled with endless anger.

"To repay you for what you've done, I will expel you all, without leaving a single one!"

"You are not worthy of being a member of Eden!"

Golden threads extended from her fingers. These threads cut through space, creating a series of deep rifts.

Then, they rushed towards them!

After seeing the power Eve used, Sirin was even more angry than her.

Because what Eve was using was her spatial authority.

"Damn thief, that's my authority!"

But Eve sneered at this.

"I am the dream itself. Everything in this dream is me, including you, and everything you have."

"Let alone your authority, even you are mine!"

But when these threads reached Luo Li and Sirin, before Luo Li could dodge, Sirin grabbed the golden thread that had fallen in front of her.

Then, she crushed it directly.

Sirin's lips curled into a disdainful smile.

Because she found that although Eve could use spatial power, her authority seemed to be inferior to her own.

The reason why the other party was so arrogant was just because her Herrscher core was sealed and her output was severely limited!

"So it's just a clown who can only imitate poorly!"

And on Raven's side, as an old hand in combat, she certainly wouldn't give up any opportunity.

The threads that Eve spread in front of her, which were enough to cut through space, were useless to Raven.

She turned into a streak of blood-red light, easily passed through the blockade, and then attacked Eve.

And what answered Raven was a sky full of arrows that Eve casually waved out.

Raven was thus forced back.

"Is this my power?" Raven grabbed one of the arrows and crushed it with her hand. "The power is much weaker than mine."

But Raven was not happy at all.

Because she found that although the power Eve showed when using her ability was weaker than hers...

But Eve's stats were ridiculously high. Before there was an absolute qualitative gap in power, even with just her stats, their chances of winning were not high.

Sure enough, after discovering that her attack was ineffective...

Eve rushed to Raven like a bolt of lightning, and then delivered a simple punch.

Although she wished she could crush them to dust at this moment, although her consciousness was on the verge of going berserk with anger...

But Eve also knew that in battle, she had to prioritize clearing high-threat targets.

And among these people, the one who posed the greatest threat to her was this Dodo Bird.

Boom!!!

The roar of the explosion was accompanied by a huge wave that was掀起, and Raven was directly sent flying.

Taking this opportunity, Eve prepared to deal with Luo Li and Sirin.

But before she could act, with a cloud of blood mist dispersing beside her, the Raven who had been sent flying appeared beside Eve, entangling her.

Luo Li, who was watching from the side, saw that Raven had made a gesture to him.

He understood.

Before the operation, they had decided on some plans for unexpected situations, which naturally included the possibility of Eve being too powerful.

In their plan, if this situation really happened, Raven would hold off the other party, while the rest would go to detonate the Honkai energy reactor.

Luo Li didn't hesitate. He opened another spatial door and pulled Sirin through it.

Eve naturally noticed Luo Li and Sirin's movements and instantly understood what the two of them wanted to do.

So she wanted to stop them.

But at this time, she was held back by Raven at all costs.

"Damn it! You annoying crow!"

Eve erupted with all her power and sent Raven flying, but in the next moment, she was entangled by Raven again.

But Raven's condition was not good. Visible wounds had already appeared on her body.

But she didn't care.

There was no death in the dream. As long as she could wake up, no one would be hurt.

---||---

After Raven held off Eve, Luo Li and Sirin successfully arrived in front of the Honkai energy reactor of Shicksal Pharmaceuticals.

Luo Li was no stranger to this. Schicksal had set up Honkai energy reactors in various places around the world that required a large amount of energy.

After the Second Honkai Eruption, Schicksal's curriculum had included how to operate a Honkai energy reactor.

Of course, it was all about how to shut down a Honkai energy reactor in an emergency.

But, thinking about it from another perspective...

If you operated it in reverse, wouldn't you be able to overload it?

And so Sirin saw that with Luo Li's dazzling operation, various red lights in the control room began to scream wildly.

Finally, Luo Li turned to Sirin.

"It's up to you, Miss Herrscher."

As his voice fell, Sirin felt a tsunami-like burst of Honkai energy.

Boom!!!

A purple light instantly swept across the entire Eden.

And accompanying it was Luo Li's voice, which seemed to be floating with the wind.

"Time to wake up, dreamers."
