Chapter 629 This Is the only Thing Xier Can Do for that Stupid Brother!

Rustle-Rustle-Rustle-

As far as the eye can see, besides darkness, there are only silver lines swaying in the dim candlelight.

Rustle-Rustle-Rustle-

Strange sounds poured into the ears from all directions, almost drowning the girl in the middle of the theater.

The silver lines kept jumping, and under the illumination of the candlelight, they looked like a fine rain curtain, and in the darkness connected to them, there was gradually a surging outline of waves.

Xier pursed her lips, and sweat unconsciously oozed from the palms of her hands.

The girl had seen the Honkai beast; the girl had killed the dead soldiers.

She had experienced countless life-and-death battles, but when everything was dark, the only light source was the flickering candlelight, and the enemy was hidden in the darkness from beginning to end, and was not in a hurry to attack, but only emitted tiny noises bit by bit. Apart from that, there was no other sound in the entire space...

Faced with such a situation, the girl couldn't help but panic in her heart.

She knew what was in the darkness.

It was nothing more than those puppets whose individual combat power was not high, and could only be compensated by almost endless numbers.

But the psychological pressure brought by the dim light, which could only be barely seen, and the moving outlines all the time, was completely incomparable to seeing a ten-meter-level Honkai beast from a distance in broad daylight.

I don't know how many enemies there are. Although I will never be afraid of a one-on-one fight, even Teacher Jizi, who wore the Blank Key, died under the human wave tactics of these puppets. If there are thousands of puppets, how long can she last?

I don't know where the attack will come from, maybe from behind the head, but attacks from this direction are naturally the focus of attention. Xier pays special attention to every move behind her, so will the puppet predict this and turn to the two sides where the defense is more empty, or even do the opposite and deliberately catch her off guard from the front?

With this thought, Xier's attention was unconsciously scattered to the sides and the front, but she quickly woke up - what if the enemy predicts her prediction and launches an attack from the rear where the surprise attack is most likely to be launched?

Xier's footsteps moved to the side and rotated a little.

Her attention was always highly concentrated. The sound of the puppet's joints hitting the wooden blocks, the sound of the silver wires entangled with each other, and the sound of the puppet's clothes rubbing against the fabrics were constantly pressing the aorta connected to the heart, so she had to be alert to four directions at the same time every minute and every second.

How long did this last? How long will this last?

Energy does not come out of thin air. Such long-term and aimless defense will only consume physical strength at an exponential rate, and attention will become increasingly difficult to concentrate as time goes by.

The longer the stalemate lasts, the more dangerous Xi'er will be. This is beyond doubt.

Her hands and feet will become increasingly weak, and her spirit will become increasingly scattered, until she can't even exert one-tenth of her original combat power, and she is easily killed by a puppet.

The combat power of a single puppet is naturally very weak, but if you think that "victory is inevitable" because of this weakness, it is just treating the battle between life and death every second as a card game.

Every Valkyrie needs to take an extra course before going to the battlefield - even if she is facing a mosquito-sized Honkai beast, she must treat it as a 20-meter-class chariot Honkai beast.

Because people will die if they are killed, no matter how weak the enemy is, there is a possibility of killing you.

Sweat quickly wet Xi'er's hair, but it was not enough.

The puppets were still surging and clamoring in the dark.

Sometimes they move forward, exposing the outlines of the front row in the candlelight, but they retreat into the darkness before Seele's eyes can clearly capture their number and appearance.

They deliberately make a loud noise, stomping hard on the floor, patting the buttocks of the puppets around them... These overly noisy sounds seem to cover up the sounds of some secret actions.

Swallowing saliva in small sips, his feet drive his body to rotate little by little.

Seele knows that this is definitely not a solution.

"Tsk! Why are you afraid of them? If you ask me, you should just attack them and tear these guys who dare only hide in the shadows to pieces!"

"No... It's better to calm down. We were clearly with Sister Bronya, Sister Anna and Brother Chen before. But suddenly there are only us around... How did the Herrscher do all this? Has it mastered the power of space? Even more, is everything happening in front of us real? Or is it an illusion constructed by the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge? These are all questions that need to be clarified..."

"That's not necessary That's so troublesome. How about you give me the control of your body, and I'll help you tear these guys apart one by one. As for your question - that's easy, leave a few puppets and tie them up with chains, step on their faces, and then the answer will come, right? Although I don't think they will answer. "

"No... fighting is indeed unavoidable. Don't worry, Xier, I won't be stubborn, if I need your help, I will definitely call you! But now is not the time..."

"Huh? What do you mean by 'not the time'?"

"Just...just..."

"Forget it, don't explain to me. Just keep your eyes on the front and the left, and let me sense the back and the right. These idiots want to waste time with us, so let's have a good competition to see who can last longer!"

The chances of winning if the stalemate continues are not [0]. This is what Seele judged at this moment.

On the surface, they are the ones who came to rescue Kiana, and it seems that they should be anxious about being delayed, but the fact is just the opposite.

Thinking of this, with a barely perceptible chuckle, Seele paused the absorption of Honkai energy.

"Huh? What the hell are you doing again?"

"Shh! Don't talk to the other me first, let's see if this Herrscher will be fooled."

"Fooled? What fool?"

[Seele] just felt that she couldn't keep up with Seele's thinking.

But she didn't need to understand, and she didn't have time to understand. The next moment, just as Xier expected, after she stopped absorbing the Honkai energy, the puppets in the darkness around her became restless. They made "tapping" footsteps, and their outlines became much clearer in the swaying candlelight.

Then, in the noisy sound of the puppets, a relatively clear voice, but the direction of which could not be accurately captured, reached Xier's ears--

"The gathering of Honkai energy has stopped... Heh, it seems that you are destined not to be qualified to become a Herrscher again."

"Again..."

Xier's lips moved, chewing on the word secretly, and then straightened her chest, quickly scanned the puppets around her, and focused her sight in a suspicious direction.

"Although from a factual point of view, Seele did not become a Herrscher, but... 'again'... Herrscher, you really know part of the history of the previous civilization. Did you steal it from Senior Wendy's memory, or did Brother Mikael tell you?"

"This is none of your business. Also, don't call the Lord God in that greasy tone of yours. What qualifications do you have to call Him that? As a sister, you even betrayed Him, and you still have the nerve to call Him 'brother'? Ha, people who betrayed God will never be favored by God. I really worried too much. Next, hold on to your childish and ridiculous fantasy and drown here."

The wave of puppets surged.

From time to time in the darkness, the faces of the puppets illuminated by candlelight can be seen, but it is only for a moment.

Xier's lips curled up slightly, and her steps were steady, driving her body to slowly turn, until a certain moment, she felt the sound of breaking through the air from behind, and the sickle taller than a person crossed a perfect semicircle - Xier didn't even turn around, and the huge beak of the sickle smashed the head of the sneak attacking puppet to pieces.

"Overhead! Another me!"

"I know, when do I need you to remind me?"

The right hand holding the sickle in reverse has been stretched back, and it is impossible to deal with the attack from the top of the head at almost the same time.

But Xier was not panicked, because - she has never been alone.

The body turned clockwise, and the left foot even left the ground and raised slightly. Only in this way can the palm of the left hand raised high face the puppet attacking from the top of the head.

However, it was just a pair of empty hands...

"Puff--"

A red line suddenly appeared on the white left wrist, and a large amount of scarlet liquid gushed out from the red mark, directly turning into a short spear more than two meters long, piercing into the mouth of the sneak attacking puppet and piercing out from between the two thighs.

"F*ck! It's so disgusting!"

As far as I can remember, this was the first time that [Xi'er] screamed in such horror.

The next moment, Xi'er's body increased the speed of rotation, and her left arm quickly lowered from vertically raised, relying on the centrifugal force brought by the rotation to throw the puppet that was completely pierced and smacked its lips and wanted to bite off its hand heavily into the surrounding darkness.

"Here they come!"

"Hmph, coward, leave it to me!"

Bang——

When the puppet collided with the ground and the sound of it smashing to pieces rang out, countless puppets suddenly emerged. Not only the four sides, but also the top of the head were covered by the puppets. The flickering candlelight was completely blocked by the barrier made up of the puppets.

At this moment, the blue color in the girl's eyes disappeared like the tide, and when she opened her eyes again, only the color of blood remained.

The corners of her lips, which were already raised, rose a little more, and then Xier's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a red light that shuttled freely among the crowd of puppets.

The blood wrapped the blue and white sickle, so in this darkness, from time to time, a bloody light like a crescent moon could be seen.

Arms, thighs, torsos, necks... countless limbs were thrown into the air, and were affected by the next attack of the sickle. When they landed, they couldn't even tell the parts.

Occasionally, the girl's body would be captured by the puppets while moving at high speed. Countless puppets would pounce on the paused body, causing an ugly and funny collision. Only then did they realize that the blood-red outline was just the afterimage left by Seele when she moved through the quantum state.

Hehehe——Hehe——

The girl's suppressed and crazy laughter kept echoing in the darkness. Until——

"Bang!"

The last puppet corpse in sight was smashed to the ground by Seele. The puppet's torso was almost completely shattered, but the upper and lower jaws were still opening and closing. So Seele generously picked up a piece of the puppet's arm from the ground with her toes and stuffed it into its mouth.

"That's all. I thought you were so powerful, but you're only this good."

Xi'er dragged the sickle forward, and all the puppets at her feet were kicked together, gradually forming a hill.

Xi'er, whose eyes were glowing red, stood step by step on top of the doll's corpse, stomping everything under her feet with her left foot, and her eyes swept over the surrounding darkness with half teasing and half contempt.

"What's wrong? You've just lost dozens of bodies and you can't stand it anymore? Come on, keep going, don't stop. Where did the arrogance go?"

Rustling, rustling—Russling, rustling—

Naturally, such a simple provocation will not receive any response. More dolls are still hiding in the darkness. They are like undercurrents surging in invisible places, but they may appear at any time at any moment. Turned into a huge tsunami.

But [Xie'er] wasn't worried about this. She just raised her chin high and provocatively said again and again:

"Why is no one talking? Oh, I understand. You will feel bad for losing so many dolls all at once. After all, if we come here a few more times, I will kill them all by myself. It's really Weak and pitiful.”

"snort--"

Xi'er originally thought that what her other self said would be a bit excessive, but she didn't expect that such a simple provoking method would actually get the Herrscher's response.

"It seems that I need to correct you a little - don't you think that I am still the same as I was not long ago? These dolls today are just my puppets, and I have to thank your sister Bronya for this friendship. The power of sponsorship is something that you can have as much as you want.”

[Xie'er]'s smile stiffened for a moment, and she couldn't tell whether the Herrscher was bragging or stating the facts, so she gritted her teeth and continued to mock:

"Hey, who doesn't know how to talk nonsense? If you have the ability, don't be stunned. It just so happens that I've just finished warming up. Even if you serve me another one or two hundred, it's just an appetizer. If you don't come, I'll acquiesce You're scared."

The voice in the darkness was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke in a strange tone:

"You may have misunderstood, Xi'er. My stopping is not to show weakness to you. Of course, if you like spiritual victory so much, I don't mind being your target. On the contrary, I am just showing my sincerity. Because I suddenly discovered - Xier, you are also very qualified."

"...Huh? What are you farting?"

The sound of heavy breathing suddenly came from the darkness, but the next moment, the sound was re-injected with the soul called [Jiao Jian], clumsily bewitching [Xie'er]:

"Look at your masterpiece, Xi'er. Look around, you can't find a complete corpse of a doll at all. Look at your appearance now, Xi'er, you are like a person standing on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Devil. Why are you doing this? Isn't it hatred? Isn't it such a deep hatred and such a powerful force? Why not join us..."

"Are you sick?"

Xi'er shook it with one hand and lifted the bloody sickle to her shoulder with the other hand.

"You keep saying that I have hatred and that I should join you... Heh, it seems like you know me very well. It's really inexplicable and self-righteous——"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me."

The voice in the dark pursued him slimily.

"I do know you very well, it's you Xi'er, not that Xi'er. After all, I am an apostle of God, so I will naturally pay attention to his sister. I understand, I understand everything about Xi'er. The sadness in your heart, you I understand all the reluctance in your heart, the despair in your heart, and the hatred in your heart——

"Fifty thousand years ago, in order to prevent you from becoming a Herrscher, the gods who had not yet become gods brought you to the Quantum Sea. Originally, you only had to wait until the Herrscher appeared, and you could return to the familiar world. But no one thought that , the wait is close to two years. In two years, you can only communicate with a limited number of people, have no friends, no entertainment activities, and only God will take time to visit you from time to time - oh, just listen. You know how desperate this is for a fourteen-year-old girl.

"So you collapsed, but it was not fatal just because of that. But unexpectedly, Mebius secretly experimented on you with the stigmata that allowed you to successfully return to your original world, and you were immediately killed by the old one the moment you returned. God watched, became a Herrscher, and finally died in front of God... Ah, it sounds like such a desperate story...

"But it happened that the Stigmata saved you. Relying on the Stigmata, you still exist in this world to some extent. Because you were thinking about the seaside travel agreement that you have never been able to fulfill, you prayed to the gods to travel into the quantum sea. But at a certain moment, you suddenly find that your connection with Him is broken, and you can't find your way back at all. You have been drifting in the quantum sea for 50,000 years, constantly experiencing various desperate reincarnations and endless suffering. Loneliness...oh, it scares me just to hear it!

"So you don't hate me? Why are you the one chosen by fate? Why did Mebius's stigmata experiment also choose you? Why can't your brother Mikael spend more time with you? Why do you Brother Mikael became a god without saying hello, leaving you alone in the quantum sea. Compared with traveling, it is undoubtedly an exile... Don't you hate these?

"And you, Xier, Xier Zaicek, not Xier Fuleai, from the moment you chose to become your brother's enemy, we knew that you never let go of this hatred. You are Xi'er, who can't deny her heart, come on, join us, we will all be your friends, and together we will use despair and hatred to create a beautiful new world, in which you will forget all the painful memories. Isn’t it good?”

"Well..."

[Xie'er]'s cheeks twitched, and for a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief, tilted her head, and picked her ears with her free hand.

"Is that all you have to say?"

"..."

"I have a question - are you mentally ill? You speak like a god, but you don't shy away from what you say?"

"You have misunderstood us. We have always said what we say. Our allegiance is to the god who can lead us to a wonderful new world. As for what He has done before, as for countless of us, it is actually because of He had to suffer misfortune, none of this is important, so there is no avoidance.”

Accompanying these words, there was also the sound of "crunching" wooden blocks hitting each other. [Xier] could tell at a glance that it was the doll's head spinning one by one.

"oh oh!"

[Xie'er] opened her mouth into an "O" shape and nodded, looking like she suddenly understood.

"I understand, you just regard Brother Mikael as a tool that can realize your dreams. The only respect you have is just out of fear of that power... Tsk, why is that idiot so pitiful?"

The puppet was silent again, but [Xie'er] put down the sickle and spread her hands generously:

"Then again, I don't want to be friends with you at all, you know why? - Because I hate you, because you are annoying, because the way you talk is so stupid, because the crunching sound makes me very angry. Disgusting. Yes, disgusting! The color scheme is disgusting, the joints are disgusting, the eye patch is disgusting, and those two things on the head are even more disgusting—— Maybe it would be cuter if he were replaced by cabbage! Of course, the most disgusting thing is your arrogant and respectful attitude. On the one hand, you regard him as a god and treat him respectfully, but on the other hand, you treat him as a tool and use him casually. It is really disgusting. To the extreme! Just looking at you makes me feel unhappy. You'd better disappear from me, otherwise this pile of things at your feet will be your only end!"

He cursed loudly in one breath, but didn't give the puppet a chance to reply.

[Xie'er] gasped and unbuttoned the first button of her shirt, her chest rose and fell rapidly, but her words did not stop for a moment:

"Also, as I said, you are self-righteous and can't understand people's words, right? You have to pretend to know others very well and point fingers. In fact, the more you talk, the more ignorant and stupid you look! Listen to me, I, Shir Zaicek, do hate that idiot, but it’s not hatred. I just think that guy is stupid, and he still likes to show off his strength. It’s really mentally ill for me to become his enemy! Because of hatred, but because-"

As if she had finished speaking in one breath, [Xie'er] took a sudden breath before continuing, but her tone became less sharp:

"Becoming his enemy and killing him is the last thing that my idiot sister can do for him."

"Excuses! They are all excuses! You are running away from the hatred in your heart!"

"I **** can't understand human language, can I?"

[Xie'er] raised the sickle high above his head and slammed it down on the hill of doll corpses.

Broken pieces of wood flew randomly into the darkness, and the screams of the puppets came and went, then subsided in the blink of an eye, as if pairs of invisible hands had blocked the mouths of all the puppets.

But [Xie'er] didn't care about it, she even laughed happily.

Half of that smile was due to the miserable condition of the doll, but the other half was due to another reason:

"Of course, there is another reason why I don't want to be friends with you - you are too stupid! You have been paying attention to me ever since you realized that the excess Honkai energy would form an imaginary singularity, right? Right? Because you have investigated me and you know that he is originally the [Sixth Herrscher] I can definitely take this opportunity to become a Herrscher again. Originally, you were able to deal with the three of us, plus Bronya who can no longer use her powers, but if another Herrscher is born, you will be able to do it with ease. It's hard to say whether you have a chance of winning, so you keep an eye on me.

"And you must think that Bronya said that Chen and Anna can also become Herrschers to try to divert your attention from me? Unfortunately, you guessed wrong! By the way, share Xi'er with me The guy with this name has a very bright mind. She had already guessed that this would be the case. The reason why she stopped absorbing Honkai Energy was just because she realized that you were here with [us], so she gave it to Chen and Chen in this way. Anna just creates opportunities.”

"What?! Impossible! God-sama wouldn't--"

"Are you confident that you know him better than I do?"

As if confirming [Xie'er]'s words, the ceiling shattered at this moment.

Transparent ice cubes wrapped every inch of the wall. Although the candlelight disappeared along with the ceiling, the light from upstairs penetrated along the large hole in the ceiling and illuminated this huge space through the reflection of the ice surface.

At first glance, there were endless puppets, but Xier no longer needed to be afraid or worried, because Anna, wearing an ice crown, was slowly falling from the hole in the ceiling like snowflakes.

"Tsk! Miscalculated!"

The Leader, who was mixed in the pile of puppets, immediately prepared to escape. As long as he was mixed in a pile of identical puppets, he was confident that he would not be discovered.

But suddenly, the gravity grabbed his body. In an instant, almost all the puppets were attracted by the black hole in the space. Their bodies piled together randomly, like the giant that the Herrscher himself had piled up with human corpses, and then exploded with the black hole.

Chen Tianwu walked to the edge of the ceiling and looked down with his lifeless dead fish eyes. He was surrounded by lingering purple air, which was the manifestation of not being able to fully control the power of the Herrscher.

Leader hid behind a broken pillar in time. At this point, he could only lean against the pillar, close his eyes and pretend to be a corpse, praying that these humans did not find him. After all, it looks no different from other puppets.

But even this hope was soon dashed -

"Stupid, those threads exposed you, go to hell, and return Bronya's power to Bronya."

"You are really stupid, how can I have a complete puppet body in my hands?"

Two voices sounded from left to right.

At this last moment, Leader sighed softly, raised his chin high, as if he was ready to be killed, but before the sickle cut off his head, the threads that bound and guided him broke. (End of this chapter)
