"It's Shencheng Pharmaceutical. The vice-captain also said they are the World Serpent." At this point, Alvette seemed to have just remembered her previous goal. "By the way, Lady Rita is still in the basement of Shencheng Pharmaceutical. Please save her..."
"I understand. Stop talking and have a good rest. Your teammates will be rescued." After saying that, Kiana put down Alvette's body and walked towards where the Undying Blade team was fighting.
As soon as she approached, she felt the unique gas in the air that had not yet dissipated. Although it has become much lighter now, it can still interfere with the Honkai energy.
"Fortunately, I didn't rush in." Kiana heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and created several Sub-Sky Spears, which directly pinned those dead soldiers to the ground. Then the Honkai energy burst out, blowing away all the remaining gas, and finally saving the Valkyrie team.
After confirming that this place was safe, Kiana did not stop and continued to rush towards Shencheng Medical.
With the departure of the Herrscher of the Void, the place fell into silence again. Alvette barely supported her body and tried to stand up, but just when she was halfway through, a shadow suddenly covered her.
Looking up, Alvette saw a familiar face, "Hersher of the Void, didn't you go to save Miss Rita?"
"Hmm? I suddenly remembered something. Saving people is fine, but it's not right to not ask for any reward." The Herrscher of the Void in front of him seemed different from before. She had a strange smile on her face. "Then Miss Alvette, you don't want your teammates and vice-captain to die here, do you? What can you give?"
"Reward..." At this moment, Alvette did not notice the difference between the Herrscher of the Sky and Kiana. Looking at the girl who was full of pressure, she thought of Rita who was currently in the underground and whose life or death was unknown. She was filled with nervousness. "As long as I can save them, I will do anything."
Seeing how cute Alvette fell into the trap so easily, Su Jue was quite satisfied. His voice was full of temptation, "Really? Then be obedient, let down your guard, and let me enter your body."
"You...what are you going to do?" Alvette always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but she didn't have much time to think about it. She could only obey Su Jue's request and temporarily let down her guard.
"Of course, I'll make you mine."
Darkness instantly enveloped the surroundings, and Alvette's relaxed consciousness became increasingly fragile in this hazy darkness. She did not notice the increasing number of transparent threads wrapped around her body, but only vaguely felt that the Herrscher of the Void in front of her seemed to have stuffed a huge sphere into her body.
The cold breeze suddenly blew past, awakening Alvette's consciousness. She suddenly woke up from her daze. Nothing changed on her body. She was still in the same place, and her teammates were still in a coma.
"Am I dreaming?" the girl murmured to herself, but with her cheerful personality she immediately forgot about it and continued to stand up and treat the Valkyries who were still injured.
No one knew what happened here. Kiana had already arrived at Shencheng Medical, but Shencheng Medical had already entered a state of combat readiness, with a large number of armed robots patrolling back and forth. All staff had already evacuated, leaving only a battlefield specially prepared for Rita.
"It's hard to imagine that Rita was trapped in such a place so easily." Before the awakening of the Herrscher of the Sky, Kiana's dream and goal for many years was to become the strongest Valkyrie of destiny, so she also had a lot of knowledge about S-level. A tall building like this can be completely demolished into ruins in ten minutes, but thinking of the tear gas that Alvette just mentioned, being trapped is not incomprehensible.
There are not only mechanical patrols here, but also a large number of death warriors. Kiana, who was hiding in the darkness, noticed the pattern emitting faint light behind the death warriors, and her anger suddenly rose.
"It was this dirty experiment that ruined everything for him!"
Thinking of this, Kiana simply stopped hiding, and the golden light in her right eye shone brightly. After gradually accepting the power of the Herrscher of the Void, she was able to use the power of the Herrscher more easily. Although the Herrscher consciousness would still be eroded, Kiana's mental barrier had become more resilient after being repaired many times.
hum~
A faint humming sound was heard, and a black sphere suddenly appeared in the center of the guard. The strong fluctuations directly disrupted the space, pulling all the enemies towards the black hole. Then a large number of sub-space spears fell from the sky, directly covering the gathered guards and death warriors.
With a chain reaction of explosions, the entire site was cleared out, and a large area of Shencheng Pharmaceutical's building was also destroyed.
"Enemy attack detected!"
After Kiana started to destroy, all the guards quickly gathered and attacked Kiana who had revealed her trace. A large number of machine guns and grenades bombarded her, and Kiana jumped high to avoid the first wave of attacks. But the mecha guards, with the assistance of Ai, immediately locked the position where she was about to fall.
However, Kiana did not fall. A lavender disc appeared under her feet, allowing her to double-jump in the air to avoid the attack. Even after that, a brand new black sphere appeared again in the group of mechas, pulling them together.
"It's Kiana time!"
As the girl shouted, the Spear of the Sky fell from the sky in her hand like a sharp sword, directly cutting through the gathered mechas.
Chapter 92 Eos Cleanup Mission
The explosion shook the entire building, and Rita, who was underground, also felt the obvious tremor. At the same time, with Kiana's wanton destruction, a large number of instruments were damaged, and the line connecting Shencheng Medicine to the industrial zone was also cut off, cutting off the Jackal's signal link.
Although the situation was not optimistic, Rita finally saw hope of survival. She directly abandoned some spare props on her body to reduce the burden of physical strength, and desperately fled to the underground passage. During this period, she continued to fight with the assassins, and her wounds on her body became more and more.
Just before she ran out of energy, she finally returned to the second underground floor, only a few dozen meters away from the exit. However, the group of assassins in front of her obviously didn't want her to escape, and quickly surrounded her.
Just as Rita gritted her teeth and prepared to fight to the death, several Sub-Earth Spears directly pierced through the dead man, and the white-haired girl who had been pursuing her for a long time finally appeared in front of her.
"Hersher of the Sky!" Rita raised her arms and wanted to continue swinging the sickle, but all the strength in her body had been drained away, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.
After the fierce battle and continuous outbursts, Kiana was not in a good condition, but seeing that Rita Rossweisse, who had been chasing Saint Freya, could only lie on the ground exhausted, she inexplicably felt a sense of pleasure of revenge.
She didn't know where this feeling came from. In the past, she would only blame herself for her weakness. Now that she has gradually accepted spiritual salvation, she finds that she seems to value herself more than the eyes of others.
After clearing out all the enemies around her, Kiana slowly walked up to Rita and pointed her spear at her.
“Heh, I didn’t expect that the Herrscher of the Void who escaped back then has grown to this point now. I thought you would be like a puppy hiding from place to place…”
Snapped--
The Spear of the Archon hit Rita's beautiful face directly, leaving a red mark. After doing this, Kiana seemed to realize what she had just done.
However, Rita was more surprised than her. She seemed to have never thought that she would be slapped in the face one day. Her eyes were full of disbelief. She tried to stand up, but could only look up at Kiana.
Kiana came to her senses and simply maintained her current attitude, pointing the tip of her spear at Rita, and said in a cold voice, "Ms. Rita doesn't seem to recognize the current situation. Even if you are a S-rank Valkyrie of destiny, shouldn't you learn to be humble to the Herrscher?"
The girl in front of him was no longer the ignorant girl of Saint Freya, nor was she the tool used by Otto to resurrect the Herrscher of the Void.
Rita suddenly realized this, and then suddenly felt a sense of fear. She was not afraid of her own death, but of the girl's rapid growth. She was no longer a tool that Otto could calculate at will, but had the potential to become a powerful Herrscher. Once such a Herrscher stood against humanity, the disaster that humanity would face in the future would be unimaginable.
"Heh." There was no more contempt in her eyes. Rita gradually lowered her posture. She was no longer a powerful S-class Valkyrie, but a real maid. "I am sorry, Herrscher of the Void. I wonder how you are going to deal with me?"
Such a rapid change in attitude made Kiana a little confused about Rita's thoughts for a moment. She could only maintain her tough attitude and asked: "You should know about the plan that Shencheng Pharmaceutical is carrying out. What are your plans next? Will you continue to follow Otto's orders to hunt me down, or choose to prevent this disaster from happening?"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you no matter which one you choose."
Looking at the two-colored eyes of the white-haired girl, Rita suddenly felt that perhaps Otto had made the wrong choice. She closed her eyes, and the woman named Raven and the dog-head mask kept appearing in her mind. When she opened her eyes again, she was already filled with anger.
"Of course, we should first send these despicable guys to the Destiny Laboratory and let them experience the hospitality from Destiny."
Not far away, the support troops dispatched by Shencheng Technology were approaching. Although Kiana did not hear the answer she wanted to hear, she still helped Rita up from the ground.
"Then you'd better remember what you said." Kiana had very little Honkai energy left. If she continued to use it at full capacity, it would probably corrode again. She gathered the last Honkai energy in her hands and gradually formed a circular space channel. "Let's go. The support from Shencheng Medical will be here soon."
However, just when Kiana was about to send Rita into the passage first, Rita temporarily broke free.
"Sorry, please allow me to finish the last thing for today." After returning to the second floor, the communication signal had been restored. Rita gently pressed her communicator and said tiredly, "After all, the job of a maid is to clean."
"Eos's automatic navigation function activated, executing command 'sweep', target current location."
Kiana was still a little confused when she heard Rita's words, but she immediately noticed the huge shadow approaching in the sky in the distance.
"Fuck!" Even the cute girl couldn't help but swear at this time. Looking at the airship getting closer and closer, she quickly grabbed Rita's arm and got into the space channel.
Within seconds after they left, a large number of mechas rushed in. The Jackal who was controlling the mechas looked at the empty industrial area, his teeth grinding.
"Search for me. I must find the person alive or dead. Even if he is cut into pieces, you must find him for me!"
After Rita and Kiana's disturbance, the entire underground laboratory was basically destroyed, and if she escaped, she would face a heavy blow from destiny. The Stigmata Project had not been completed yet, and the base that the World Serpent had built with great difficulty was about to be destroyed, which forced the Jackal to consider how to face the Lord's accountability.
"No, there is still a chance. Since we have been exposed now, we might as well just force the experiment and turn the whole city into a testing ground."
"Wait, something is approaching!"
The Jackal suddenly adjusted the camera angle of the mecha and captured the transport ship that was almost within reach in the sky. The next second, there was only a blank space in his field of vision.
In the basement of the main building of Shencheng Technology, which was several thousand meters away, the Jackal, who was far superior to the control mecha, rushed into the stairs, not even having time to bring his crutches. His feet were empty, and he rolled down the stairs.
Then the strong flames lit up the entire Sky City, and the residents living in Sky City felt an earthquake for the first time, and then a strong shock wave swept through, and a large number of high-rise glass windows exploded directly. If it weren't for the previous collapse, the residents around Shencheng Technology had already been evacuated, otherwise the "cleaning" of Eos this time would have required the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents.
The Shencheng Technology, which was at the target location, was naturally the most direct target of this cleanup. The countless awakening potions stored here by the World Serpent, the large number of trained Stigmata warriors, and the mecha troops worth billions were all buried in this area.
Although Rita's Eos also cost more than 1 billion to build, compared with the loss of Shencheng Technology, this cleanup is a sure win. More importantly, the self-explosion directly destroyed the medicine that Shencheng Technology was preparing to use for the city-wide experiment. It must be said that Rita's temporary decision was really decisive.
Chapter 93: Taixu Sword Qi
The mist was lingering, the sky was full of rosy clouds, and lush forests and shrubs were clinging to the endless hills, which was truly a paradise on earth. However, apart from the vibrant plants, there was no trace of flying birds, and no roars of animals were heard, making this mountain area seem particularly strange.
Dust-free, flawless, mess-free, and mind-free.
In the mountains isolated from the world, there is only a dilapidated thatched cottage sitting on the top of the mountain.
In the simple courtyard, the two colors of yin and yang blend with each other, and the four directions and eight trigrams are located in the middle, imprinted on the ground.
The gray-haired girl was sitting cross-legged in the Tai Chi formation. At this moment, her mind was focused, as if she was meditating on herself to get a glimpse of the truth of the world, and recalling the past to seek the law of change of all things.
But in fact, she was frowning, with a look of confusion flashing across her brows from time to time.
After a while, Fu Hua, who was meditating quietly, finally opened her eyes and looked into the distance.
This is the mind-phase space constructed by the eighth divine key, Yu Duchen. Yu Duchen is the key of consciousness that can preserve the soul and divide the consciousness. It is with this divine key in hand that Fu Hua was able to divide his consciousness into several parts at the time of death to protect his friends.
The one that retained its original consciousness was the one that possessed Kiana.
Ever since the defeat of the Herrscher of the Void, Kiana has been on the run. Although Fu Hua has difficulty seeing the outside world through her spiritual space due to being excluded, she does understand Kiana's physical condition very well.
The Herrscher of the Void's constant erosion and the forced use of Honkai energy to squeeze her body have put Kiana on the edge of extreme danger. If she is not careful, the Herrscher will take away her consciousness and completely become the Herrscher of the Void. This is a disaster for this city and the whole world, so she keeps persuading Kiana to do what she can.
However, although their relationship had improved during the previous period, Kiana's caution once again caused her to question and even reject Fu Hua's decision. It was at that time that Fu Hua began to think about whether her choice was right or wrong.
But before she could come up with an answer, Kiana's heart suddenly changed. Not only did the Herrscher of the Void awaken, but Kiana herself was completely swallowed by the darkness in the depths. It was at that time that Fu Hua completely unleashed the power of Yu Duchen and tried to awaken Kiana's consciousness again.
however……
Fu Hua sighed, her body sitting cross-legged in the Bagua formation without moving, but her eyes fell on a strange figure.
"Who are you?" Her tone was not strong, but it carried a hint of helplessness.
That's right, during the explosion of the Key of Consciousness, this mental space was invaded. Not only did most of Yu Duchen's power disappear, but even Fu Hua herself was trapped in this space.
"Hmm?" The girl's voice was full of playful energy as her long white hair fell. "What are you talking about, class monitor? I'm Kiana."
Although they were light blue eyes, Fu Hua saw an indelible gray in them. Although they looked exactly like Kiana, there was no doubt that the person who trapped her in the mind space was definitely not the girl she was familiar with.
"Your appearance is exactly the same as hers. Even the mind space of the Key of Consciousness cannot reflect your true appearance, but your temperament is completely different from hers." Fu Hua calmly exposed the girl's disguise and slowly stood up from the ground. She stood in the center of the courtyard and met the eyes of the girl leaning against the door.
"Temperament? Is that what you mean?" A soft sneer came, and in Fu Hua's eyes, the fake Kiana gradually became depressed, and a strong sense of fatigue filled her body. Gradually, with a slight change in her eyes and posture, the lively girl turned into a weathered fugitive.
“Captain, why did you betray me in the first place… You knew Otto’s plan very well, but you still pushed me off the cliff. Those thousands of victims were not killed by the Herrscher of the Void, but by you!” The girl’s eyes were filled with madness, venting her emotions. She lowered her voice and said in a weird tone: “Red Kite Immortal, do you still remember how it felt to be betrayed by your disciples?”
[Kiana]'s words were like a leaf that fell into Fu Hua's calm heart, finally causing ripples. Just when she was about to refute, the girl who was in agony a second ago turned back into her unruly self the next second.
"How about it, are you satisfied with my performance?" A wanton smile outlined the girl's face. This strong contrast made Fu Hua frown, because she had already felt that the mental space was decaying.
Fu Hua's experience spanning 5 years allowed her to quickly figure out the situation. Just when she was psychologically shaken by the performance of the man in front of her, Yu Duchen's power was stolen a little bit. Presumably, the other party's performance was premeditated.
"No need to say more, just explain your purpose. I think a being that can steal the power of the Key of God would not just want to trap me here." As she spoke, her hair gradually changed from gray to snow-white, and the red at the end made her look like she was bathed in flames. The burning breath gradually emanated from Fu Hua's body, and finally formed a red and white cheongsam, which was Fu Hua's Chiling form, and also the immortal posture in the past.
With a slight lift of his wrist, his fist was already aimed at the girl, and he leaned down with a bow step, unleashing boundless power in an instant.
Seeing Fu Hua who had already entered a fighting stance, Su Jue did not continue to provoke her. He was not the mob in the original plot who was just talking nonsense. Did he give the opponent an anger buff because he thought he was not cooling down fast enough?
"Don't be so nervous. I have great respect for the Red Kite Immortal who has protected Shenzhou for thousands of years. This time I am offending him only because I want to ask for a favor."
"Heh, I am just a shadow of consciousness now, and I don't think there is anything on me that is worthy of your attention. As for Yu Duchen, I'm afraid that this thing will be taken away by you sooner or later."
"It's just a feather, how can it be compared with an immortal. I wonder if the Immortal Chiyuan has ever thought about accepting a disciple again after 500 years?" Su Jue lowered his posture, looking like a student.
"Are you here for the Taixu Sword Qi?" Fu Hua understood the other party's thoughts in an instant. Since she knew everything that happened five hundred years ago, it was natural for her to be interested in her Taixu Sword Qi.
"Yes and no." Su Jue acted as a riddler this time, "I am indeed here for the Taixu Sword Qi, but I am not your student."
At this point, Fu Hua was also a little confused, "Who is that?"
"..."
"Kiana."
Chapter 94: Change of Mindset
The transaction within Yu Duchen was not noticed by anyone and was taking place in an unknown corner of Tianqiong City.
With a buzzing sound, the dark golden space channel suddenly opened. The two people stumbled and almost fell to the ground as soon as they stepped out of it.
Her pure white hair was covered in black dust, and even had some burnt ends. Kiana grabbed the railing beside her with one hand, and supported Rita, who almost fell to the ground, with the other hand.
"Hey, you're not going to die with me just because you were saved by a Herrscher, are you?"
"Huh~ I won't make a meaningless sacrifice just for this little humiliation." After letting out a deep breath, Rita tried to support herself and stand up, but the heavy fighting had drained all her strength, and she could only rely on Kiana's support helplessly.
"Judging from the number and layout of the enemy, if we can't effectively interfere, we may be hunted at any time in this city. That's why I chose to use this collision to create chaos. Not only can we destroy a large number of the enemy's armed forces, but we can also effectively destroy the drugs they are preparing to experiment in the city."
"That's too risky. What if something goes wrong?"
"Even if I make a mistake, I can still drag a powerful Herrscher along with me to be buried with me. This is a good thing for the whole world."
Hearing Rita's undisguised hostility, Kiana's face darkened. "You are going too far. I saved your team members on purpose, but you actually wanted me to die with you."
"Ms. Kiana, I hope you can clearly realize your identity, and this is only the worst-case scenario. I will not..." Before she finished the last word, Rita's body began to tremble. Her will could no longer resist the exhaustion of her body, and she slid down Kiana's shoulder to the ground and passed out peacefully.
Seeing Rita lying on the ground, Kiana had no choice but to sigh and drag her up. However, she was already at the end of her strength, and the chaotic Honkai energy consciousness continued to invade her brain. Even if the Herrscher consciousness temporarily fell asleep because of Su Jue, it was difficult to resist the erosion of Honkai itself.
Huh, huh.
She was breathing heavily as she carried Rita on her back towards a safe place. Her mind was gradually becoming blurry. Just as she was about to faint, a cool breath suddenly flowed into her mind, making her consciousness clear again.
