This was undoubtedly a sign of loss of control for Su Jue, which reminded him of an anime he had seen in his previous life about a fight for the Holy Grail of Wishing, in which the Holy Grail would fulfill people's wishes in a completely twisted way.
As the agent of Honkai, Su Jue is naturally a member of the Honkai camp. In order to crack the threat of the three major salvation organizations, he deliberately chose gentle means to win over ordinary people and prepare to use public opinion to cause chaos.
However, Honkai was like the Holy Grail. After Su Jue's plan began to be implemented, it directly skipped him as the executor and began to control it in a more extreme way.
……
"If I stay out of it, I will lose my humanity one day. If I get too involved in the drama, I will become addicted to it and lose the courage to be a herrscher."
This was the answer Su Jue knew from the beginning. After Tianqiong City, he had been influenced by his emotions without realizing it. And the current situation was the price of being addicted to it.
Chapter 182: Leakage of Domination Power
The Domination Theater sways in the imaginary space, and the endlessly winding corridors block all the spatial paths in the theater.
His perception of the outside world had been completely cut off, and even his connection with the puppet had been forcibly terminated. Su Jue looked as if he was trapped here to death.
"Emotions are the most powerful poison to Herrscher. Once you are deeply involved in them, you will be abandoned by the Honkai and become a prisoner."
As the stage lights came on, another figure of [Su Jue] appeared from nothingness, chanting these lines and turning his gaze to Su Jue who was frowning in thought.
[Su Jue] raised his hand, and the silk threads in the theater dropped from above and wrapped around Su Jue's wrist. However, Su Jue was unable to move at all and could only watch the threads spread.
"Like a moth to a flame, you have been burned by her."
More and more threads gradually wrapped around Su Jue's arms, thighs, and body, squeezing his skin and digging into his flesh.
The thin silk thread finally wrapped around Su Jue's neck and slowly lifted him up.
"Now, witness your own end." The silk thread slowly tightened, making it completely impossible for Su Jue to breathe.
[Su Jue] watched his struggle, as if he was a host welcoming the end of a play, with a cruel smile on his face. This was a perfect ending, witnessing the death of the Ruler of Law.
Su Jue gradually lost the strength to struggle, his breathing slowly stopped, and finally there was no movement.
However, just as [Su Jue] finished the killing and was about to leave, applause came from the audience.
Darkness completely enveloped the auditorium. No figure could be seen at all. Only a pair of never-extinguished golden eyes emitted a faint light.
"That was a great show. Is there a next act? If not, you can do it."
As soon as the words fell, the puppet on the stage that had just led Su Jue to his death was entangled in the same way by the limbs and neck, and began to struggle in pain. This time, it was not hanged, but was directly torn into pieces by the fine silk threads.
In just a few dozen seconds, two Su Jues died on the stage.
"I can be Su Jue, but Su Jue may not be me."
Only in the darkness could such comments be heard.
The [Su Jue] who just appeared is the puppet formed after the Honkai invasion, used to shake Su Jue's will.
But it was obvious that even Honkai Will did not expect that after he had finally stolen an account and was about to join a group of thousands of people to cause trouble, it turned out that all the thousand people in the group were Su Jue's smurfs.
……
Dominate, dominate.
No one knows the extent of Su Jue's current abilities. Just the leakage of some of his powers has caused the entire Tianqiong City to be brainwashed and controlled invisibly.
All it takes is enough Honkai energy to take control of an entire city and create a low-profile version of a mob.
In fact, Su Jue had expected that he would be checked and slack off by Honkai Will this time. After all, when he had been shaken many times because of Kiana's affairs before, he had already thought that such a day would come.
More importantly, after the [Kiana] incident, he realized that he had made many mistakes that he shouldn't have made. Whether it was actively exposing Kindred's identity or forcibly invading, although both achieved their goals, he had already lost the caution that he should have had.
Perhaps it was the expansion of his strength that made Su Jue gradually lose his sense of awe, and he was no longer obsessed with acting, which eventually attracted the attention of the Honkai Will.
It is not difficult to resolve this matter, but Su Jue cannot do it himself, otherwise it would be equivalent to a clear rebellion against Honkai.
It just so happens that the chess pieces you prepared are in place. It's time to show the power of your weapon, Kiana.
I hope the message I left through Jizi can be noticed.
……
"You mean it deliberately borrowed Himeko's image?"
"Yes, it was obviously discovered when I just arrived in this city. It is very familiar with me and knows that the person I care most about is Teacher Jizi. It deliberately used the same red hair as the teacher to contact me, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce my vigilance."
After realizing that something was fishy, Kiana immediately became wary of Ji Zi's actions and shared the information she had obtained with Fu Hua.
Fu Hua, who had been in a deep sleep, finally woke up after Kiana escaped from Anti-Entropy and came to Sky City. With the ability of a conscious body, she heard Ji Zi's voice before Kiana woke up.
Before the Domination Theater was blocked, Su Jue had already realized that Honkai was going to use his abilities to cause trouble.
So he deliberately sent a message to Ji Zi at that time, just to provide some information to Kiana. He originally thought that Kiana would need to think for a while, but he didn't expect that there was Fu Hua beside her.
Looking at Kiana, who has now learned to think independently and speak eloquently, Fu Hua smiled and continued to listen to her analysis.
"The people in this city are very abnormal. They seem to be full of vitality, but I have carefully observed their eyes, and basically they all have a kind of confusion that cannot be concealed. In this situation, it is hard not to doubt the purpose of the magical girl sect." Recalling the two consecutive encounters with those propaganda children, Kiana went from being confused at the beginning to lamenting later.
"Yesterday, the girl accidentally touched me, but I didn't feel any discomfort. If she is not a natural stigma holder, it can only mean that she is related to Honkai. If I am not mistaken, they are probably controlled by Honkai."
"Do you remember what the red-haired woman said during the day? Kiana is adapted from the story of the Herrscher of the Void, not from the story of Kiana. What they care about from beginning to end is the Herrscher of the Void."
"Before this, she mentioned more than once that it was under Su Jue's leadership that the people who suffered gathered together to become Qian Jue. If I'm not mistaken, it was because of Su Jue's identity as a Herrscher." After saying out all the information she guessed, Kiana was obviously much more relaxed.
"The prices in this city are unimaginably low. They seem fair, but in fact they are just controlled."
After listening to Kiana's analysis, Fu Hua basically guessed what she meant, "Using the Herrscher as a believer, spreading the word through brainwashing, trying to control the entire city."
There is no doubt that this organization called Qian Jue is in any way inseparable from the Honkai.
"So what are you going to do?" Fu Hua asked.
"They have been luring me to Changkong City, which means there must be some trap waiting for me there. But I have no choice, he must be there, I have to go no matter what. And since I have saved this city once, I can't just leave it alone this time."
Kiana looked up into the distance, only to find that the sky was filled with fog at some point.
And in the fog, it seemed as if human figures were moving.
Chapter 183: City of Dolls
The place was filled with mist and human figures, as if hundreds of ghosts were parading at night. If Kiana didn't know that this was a scientific world, she would almost think that she had come to a den of ghosts that only appeared in novels.
Especially since Sky City itself was destroyed in that fire, seeing this scene now would inevitably make people subconsciously think that the dead souls have returned to the world.
"It's just a trick of Honkai. I don't feel any particularly strong Honkai energy response, but the spread this time is very wide." As a Chiyuan immortal from Shenzhou, Fu Hua is no stranger to the ghost stories circulated in folk legends. Just like the essence of true Qi is Honkai energy, most of these special scenes are just caused by Honkai.
"Could it be the Herrscher?" Kiana was a little worried. The Honkai energy in her body was already showing signs of being out of control. If it weren't for the special bracelet, even her daily movements would have been difficult.
If you meet a Herrscher, you have no chance of winning.
"Don't worry, the Herrscher won't appear so easily. A Honkai Impact has already occurred in this city, and the remaining Honkai Impact energy is not enough to give birth to the Herrscher. Moreover, this Honkai Impact is not a natural outbreak like in the past. Instead, it seems to follow a certain law, as if it was artificially induced."
"Honkai Impact 1rd" Kiana suddenly thought of Otto. Her awakening happened under his deliberate guidance. If there was artificial Honkai Impact rd somewhere, then he would be the first person to be suspected.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Seeing that the fog in the sky has enveloped the entire city, Kiana gently covered the cat skeleton again.
This is Taxue's corpse. Kiana had witnessed its death in her dream, and later it became Su Jue's companion Honkai beast after he awakened the Herrscher.
If it is an organization established by Su Jue, Taxue is definitely an indispensable connection, just like Benares, the companion Honkai beast will naturally have a connection with its master.
And now this ordinary cat skeleton is filled with a faint sense of Honkai energy, which is most likely a message for help left by Su Jue.
It is not clear what it means exactly yet, but at least it can be judged that the emergence of the so-called Qianjue organization is likely to be related to Honkai. Then, combined with the information obtained by Fu Hua, there is definitely a big problem with the red-haired woman.
After a night's rest, the strength in her body gradually recovered, thanks to the bracelet [Kiana] put on her. It not only suppressed the Herrscher signal in her body, but also prevented the spread of Honkai energy to a certain extent, allowing her to compress herself to her limit a little more.
"Qiana, I must remind you that your body is like walking a tightrope on a cliff. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss."
"I understand, but this is my responsibility." Looking at the dark city, Kiana took a deep breath and took out a Sub-Sky Spear from the imaginary space.
"I'm not trying to dissuade you, I'm just saying - bring it."
A scarlet feather appeared in front of Kiana, but now Yu Duchen's light was much dimmer.
"This is Yu Duchen, the Eighth God Key you have seen before. Before being killed by Otto, I stored my consciousness in it. But the amount of my memories is too huge, which is a heavy burden for Yu Duchen. When I wake up, I will continue to consume its energy."
"During the time I was with you, the energy in Yu Duchen was exhausted, so I was sleeping during this time. Although I am awake again now, the energy I accumulated before can't last long."
"Next, I will completely seal my consciousness and let Yu Duchen reduce the load so that you can use its power. The situation this time is different from the past. You may be attacked at the consciousness level. Right now your mind is very unstable. If you are attacked, at least it can protect you."
"Class leader!" Kiana wanted to stop Fu Hua from sealing herself, but it was obvious that Fu Hua had made up her mind. A light flashed on Yu Duchen, and Fu Hua fell into a deep sleep again.
After reducing the load, the Yu Du Chen became noticeably brighter. Kiana held it in her hand and stared at it in a trance.
But she quickly came to her senses, gritted her teeth, put it into her own consciousness space, and rushed towards Tianqiong City.
As soon as she arrived at the outskirts of the city, Kiana felt a strong discomfort, as if something was drilling into her brain.
Fortunately, the Yu Duchen that she had just obtained immediately sent out a cool breath to protect her consciousness.
"Sure enough, there is erosion of consciousness."
I have to say that Fu Hua is very experienced. If it weren't for Yu Duchen, Kiana might not even be able to get into the outer area.
Under Yu Duchen's protection, Kiana came to the roadside stall again.
The noisy stall is now empty, with steaming barbecue on the table and the charcoal fire in the stove still burning.
But all the people seemed to have completely evaporated, swallowed up by the unknown mist.
Holding the Yakon across her chest, Kiana explored forward cautiously. When she passed by one of the tables, she suddenly stepped on something soft.
Startled, Kiana quickly raised her foot, only to find a stray cat that looked exactly like Taxue lying on the ground with its neck bent 180 degrees.
The light grey eyes widened and the narrow vertical pupils stared at Kiana...behind her.
boom--
There was a dull sound, and Kiana was suddenly hit hard on the back, with broken wood chips flying everywhere.
Kiana staggered, then immediately adjusted her body and kicked the attacker away.
What just hit her back was a wooden stool on the stall. The whole stool was turned into pieces. You can imagine how powerful the force was.
But now Kiana felt no pain. She kicked the attacker away and then immediately controlled him.
He was just an ordinary citizen, but there was no spirit in his eyes. He was like a puppet without a soul, controlled by invisible strings.
"He's not a dead soldier, he hasn't been corrupted, he can still be saved." Kiana immediately judged the man's situation. She didn't care about being attacked, she was just a poor man controlled by Honkai. Only by resolving this Honkai can she be considered to have taken revenge.
Kiana pressed her hand on the back of the attacker's head and flicked her wrist to knock him out. In order to prevent herself from being controlled again, she took the risk of absorbing the Houkai energy from him into her own body.
The crack on her hand that had originally healed broke open again, but Kiana didn't care. However, when she dealt with this one, she found that the surrounding area was already full of controlled people.
Their limbs were stiff and their eyes were dull, like shadows in a shadow play, walking towards her with strange steps.
Chapter 184: The Mist God Skeleton is Slightly Terrified
The puppets picked up things around them and used them as weapons, rushing towards Kiana in a strange way.
In the gray fog, it was impossible to see how many people there were. Kiana felt a chill in her heart, as if she had accidentally entered a horror movie.
What's even more bizarre is that no one made any sound, but the sound of a girl humming an unknown song echoed in my ears.
The voice was ethereal, but it seemed to be mourning the death of the deceased, giving people an indescribable chill.
Fortunately, Yu Duchen is still playing a role. No matter how many figures there are, they are just ordinary people. As long as Kiana herself is not affected, it is not difficult to deal with them.
However, in order to completely free them from control, Kiana had to absorb the Houkai in them and cut off the threads that controlled them. For her now, this was the most fatal.
It took some effort to deal with these people, but the fog was getting thicker and thicker.
Kiana's eyes inadvertently swept across the white mist, and she suddenly found that there was a little girl standing in the white mist, staring at her.
"Is it the little girl who promoted magical girls?" Shrouded in white mist, Kiana couldn't see clearly.
Such a strange scene made her a little nervous, but now she had no clues, so she could only walk towards the direction of the little girl.
But when she arrived at the girl's position, she found that the girl was just a wooden doll.
The puppet was carved very roughly, except for its eyes, which were very exquisite.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but these beautiful eyes were always fixed on Kiana. Even if she moved to a different location, she was still being stared at.
Being looked at by such a pair of eyes, even the brave Kiana felt a little scared. She pointed the Archon Spear at the girl and pushed her gently, and the girl fell to the ground.
Wooden arms and ball-jointed creatures rolled on the ground, and a round head landed right at her feet, its eyes meeting hers.
Kiana suppressed the fear in her heart, took a deep breath, and pointed the spear directly at the puppet's head.
