Volume 1: Chapter 159: The Great War of Herrschers

　　“Boom boom boom.”

　　There was a knock on the door.

　　Mei Raiden stopped arguing with the Herrscher of Thunder.

　　"Who is it?"

　　She placed her hand on the sword, ready to strike.

　　It’s so late, who would come to see her in person?

　　After thinking about it, there is only one answer -

　　The sword is unsheathed.

　　The blade, shining with cold light, was pointed at the door.

　　Bronya claims that an intruder has sneaked into St. Freya's Academy and is likely targeting her.

　　“…”

　　The knocking on the door stopped.

　　Then--

　　“Crack.”

　　The door broke into pieces.

　　Gravity simply crushed it.

　　“…”

　　A hooded figure walked in.

　　The God of Darkness has already noticed the vigilance of the humans inside.

　　Then any verbal deception is meaningless, just start robbing directly.

　　The Overlord is waging a dream war against the false image he created.

　　If nothing unexpected happens, the false image constructed is the one who gets beaten up.

　　But it’s not a big problem, as long as we can hold back the Overlord.

　　The human named Raiden Mei has a mark left by the master on her body, and he only has one chance.

　　Compared to this degraded clone body, there is no doubt that the so-called Herrscher's body is more powerful and more worthy of the God of Darkness.

　　Even this was condescending to him.

　　"Who are you?"

　　Mei Raiden gripped the sword tightly.

　　“…”

　　The hooded man didn't respond.

　　The God of Darkness had no interest in answering the questions of the ant in front of him.

　　"call……"

　　Mei Raiden held the sword with both hands and took a deep breath.

　　If the person who comes has bad intentions, then there is nothing to say.

　　She assumed the offensive stance of Hokushin Ittoryu.

　　The ancestral swordsmanship does not have much effect on Honkai beasts, but it has a very good killing effect on humans.

　　This is a sword technique that kills people.

　　It's just that she hasn't killed anyone yet.

　　Even when facing an invader with malicious intentions, Mei Raiden had no intention of killing the other party.

　　The sword in her hand was unsharpened.

　　But if you get hit—

　　It's definitely not comfortable and it's easy to lose your fighting ability.

　　The girl tiptoed the ground and rushed out.

　　With just one strike, I can make the opponent lose the battle...

　　"Ugh!"

　　The strong force of gravity acted on her, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.

　　The sword in his hand also flew out of his hand and fell far away.

　　"I can't stand up..."

　　Mei Raiden tried to stand up, but she couldn't.

　　My whole body seemed to be weighed down by a heavy object and I couldn't stand up at all.

　　She is no match for this intruder!

　　After just one encounter, she fell down.

　　“Too weak.”

　　The God of Darkness slowly lowered his hand.

　　The ant in front of him was too weak.

　　He just used the power of this cloned body a little bit -

　　The so-called Herrscher fell down directly.

　　The God of Darkness had to consider whether he should seize the body of the ant in front of him.

　　This Herrscher seemed even weaker than his humble shell.

　　Just raise your hand lightly——

　　"Ugh!"

　　Mei Raiden couldn't even lift her head.

　　"Hahaha, Raiden Mei, you're still the same."

　　The voice in my heart said so.

　　"You can't do anything, Raiden Mei." The Herrscher of Lightning commented, "You may have become a little braver, but you are still too weak."

　　“…”

　　Mei Raiden did not answer.

　　She clenched her teeth.

　　Once again!

　　I am powerless in front of the enemy!

　　"never mind."

　　The God of Darkness decided to give it a try.

　　From the memory of the human who broke into his dream, he read that Herrschers were all powerful creatures.

　　But now it seems that the so-called third herrscher is nothing more than that.

　　It's just that I'm here anyway.

　　"There is darkness in your heart..."

　　Whispers of corruption are heard.

　　The God of Darkness tried to provoke the darkness in the heart to appear.

　　Then——

　　"Crackle."

　　The sound of thunder was heard.

　　"Darkness? Are you talking about me?"

　　The girl's voice suddenly changed.

　　The proud Queen of Thunder has returned to the world.

　　Lightning wrapped around his body, easily breaking the constraints of gravity on his body.

　　The Herrscher of Thunder looked down upon the invader in front of him.

　　Raiden Mei is too weak——

　　At a time when nothing can be done, she has to take action.

　　“…”

　　The Dark Lord looked at her.

　　The darkness in the other person's heart was almost overflowing -

　　That is malice towards living beings.

　　So that's how it is. Is this the true Herrscher?

　　"Are you ready to turn into atoms, bastard?!"

　　Lightning appeared in his hand.

　　Is this kind of offal worthy of being served?

　　"Activity of the third Herrscher detected. Self-destruction program activated. Countdown: five minutes."

　　Then the Herrscher of Thunder frowned slightly.

　　"whispering sound."

　　Human toys.

　　This thing is really troublesome.

　　Right now, she is still unable to destroy the bomb delicately—

　　It could easily affect Mei Raiden's heart.

　　By then, there will be two lives lost.

　　That's not a funny thing.

　　But it’s not a big problem now.

　　Five minutes—that was enough.

　　"boom!"

　　Lightning struck the ground.

　　“…”

　　The Dark Lord dodged the blow.

　　Perhaps he should raise his evaluation of the Herrscher—

　　Even among the Star Spirits, it ranks among the best.

　　"You bastards, hide as much as you can, and then turn into atoms in despair!"

　　The Queen of Thunder and Lightning wields her power wantonly.

　　The thunder and lightning continued to strike, forcing the Dark God to dodge her attacks.

　　This body is so inferior——

　　If you get hit once, you will lose your combat capability.

　　And he is just a tiny fragment of the Dark God's will, with very little psychic energy at his disposal. The most he can do is use the whispers of darkness to corrupt living things.

　　However, it's not a big problem.

　　The body of the Third Herrscher is still in his pocket!

　　…………

　　"Oh my, is this the Third Herrscher?"

　　On the roof in the distance.

　　The elegant maid holds a huge scythe and looks out at the battle in the distance.

　　This is indeed a force that cannot be driven by human power.

　　But little Theresa actually took in a Herrscher—

　　This surprised her.

　　Rita was still surprised when she got the information from the Archbishop.

　　Although Theresa has the key of restraint, she can only save herself when the Herrscher arrives.

　　Sooner or later, the entire St. Freya Academy will turn into hell.

　　"So should we take action?"

　　Rita looked at the lightning strike that was limited to a small area and touched her red lips with her finger.

　　It seemed that the Herrscher had no time to deal with others for the time being, and was instead focused on attacking her enemies.

　　This is honestly very unreasonable.

　　The power possessed by the Herrscher allows her to easily expand the range of her attack to the entire St. Freya Academy.

　　But she didn't do it.

　　“…”

　　There was an inexplicable look in Rita's eyes.

　　She just stood quietly on the roof and did not join the battle.

　　…………

　　“Boom!”

　　Mei Raiden's room has been reduced to ruins.

　　The Herrscher of Thunder had no intention of restraining herself.

　　The lightning that fell from the sky drove the hooded man to flee in all directions.

　　Is this kind of bastard worthy of looking for her?

　　But he was too slippery, and it was difficult to hit the opponent with her attacks.

　　Even if lightning blocked his escape route, the force of gravity would distort everything in an instant and create a path for him to escape.

　　The Thunder Queen's eyes darkened.

　　Humanity's little toys are still counting down.

　　She would have to find a way to get rid of this little human toy in the future.

　　Otherwise, it would be really uncomfortable to be so restricted.

　　"Raiden Mei, let me help..."

　　In the distance, the voice of the white-haired ball was heard.

　　Then Kiana Kaslana saw the Queen of Thunder floating in the air.

　　She blinked, somewhat speechless.

　　How come the Herrscher of Thunder has appeared?

　　"Kiana? Don't come and compete for my prey."

　　The Thunder Queen glanced at the white-furred ball.

　　This is her prey.

　　The death of this prey heralds the return of the Ruler of Thunder!

　　“…”

　　It seems that she doesn't need help.

　　Kiana Kaslana thought awkwardly.

　　If the Herrscher of Thunder can't deal with the enemy, wouldn't she just be asking for trouble if she went up there?

　　"Kiana, as long as you let me out and allow me to use more Honkai energy--"

　　"That woman isn't a problem either."

　　The voice of the Herrscher of the Void echoed in my heart.

　　"...Sister, can you do this?"

　　However, the white-haired dumpling expressed great doubt.

　　It seems that in her memory——

　　My sister has been in a frustrated state.

　　"I am the Second Herrscher, the enemy of humanity who caused the Siberian Cataclysm!"

　　The Queen of the Sky sensed Kiana's thoughts and she was furious.

　　She just doesn't have Honkai energy now. If she had Honkai energy, she would be the Second Herrscher who once brought fear to mankind!

　　“How amazing~”

　　The white-haired ball said without any emotion.

　　If there is Honkai energy, it will expand; if there is no Honkai energy, it will leak.

　　If her puffer sister is the Herrscher of the Sky—

　　Then make your wedding green!

　　Which Herrscher would be beaten to tears by waist drums?

　　Which Herrscher would always be defeated?

　　Kiana thought it would be better for her to be the Herrscher herself.

　　She won't keep getting humiliated!

　　“…”

　　The Sky Queen took a deep breath.

　　You have to hold back and don't bother with Kiana.

　　Then she stamped her foot heavily.

　　Damn, this is totally unbearable!

　　"Kiana, do you still want to pass the history exam?"

　　The Herrscher girl issued her own threat.

　　“I won’t record anything for you!”

　　The Herrscher of the Void was furious.

　　“…No, I was wrong, sister!”

　　Kiana's face changed.

　　"You must increase the amount of Honkai energy supplements you give me to four!"

　　The Herrscher girl took the opportunity to put forward her own request.

　　"…Four, no more! If there are more, I would rather fail the exam!"

　　Kiana Kaslana had a painful expression on her face.

　　"Humph, you're smart."

　　The Queen of the Sky was very satisfied.

　　Pull out a small notebook——

　　The Herrscher girl added another stroke.

　　There are already a lot of things written down above.

　　When she gets back on her feet, she will make Kiana cry bitterly!

　　When the time comes, I must severely humiliate Zerg's lip!

　　At this moment, the Queen of Thunder and Lightning was not paying attention to the white-haired ball that was running away.

　　She looked gloomily at her opponent who was as slippery as a loach.

　　It seemed as if her attacks had been predicted.

　　It's impossible to hit the opponent at all.

　　In order to end the battle quickly, she decided to use more Honkai energy.

　　Let her see if the opponent can dodge the wide-range attack...

　　"Increased Herrscher energy levels detected, second level safety measures activated."

　　The lightning stopped in an instant.

　　The Herrscher of Thunder's expression changed.

　　Damn human toys!

　　She clutched her chest.

　　Then--

　　A hundred times the force of gravity was applied to her in the blink of an eye.

　　The girl's figure fell from the sky.

　　"boom!"

　　Huge clouds of dust rose.

　　at the same time--

　　"Reload Bunny, fire!"

　　A beam of light pierced through the smoke and shot towards the figure that had been locked onto previously.

　　"Annoying ants."

　　The God of Darkness had to withdraw his hand that was about to grab the target.

　　The beam of light created some ripples on the barrier formed by gravity, and then disappeared.

　　"Leave her alone, intruder."

　　On the high platform, Bronya calmly looked at the people who invaded St. Freya's Academy.

　　"Oh, it's you."

　　The Dark Will saw the girl.

　　The God of Darkness has no thought of mercy.

　　The platform shattered and collapsed in an instant.

　　“…”

　　With the help of the heavy-duty bunny, Bronya Zaychik avoided the collapse and broke out in a cold sweat.

　　This kind of power...what kind of people did Mother Cocolia send to invade St. Freya Academy?

　　"You bastard, don't ignore... me!"

　　Lightning flashed across the night sky and the roar resounded through the heavens and earth.

　　The Thunder Queen held out a hand.

　　If Bronya died, the little fairy would definitely be sad.

　　She didn't want to see the little fairy's sad expression.

　　The bomb at the heart only has one second left to count down.

　　The Herrscher girl weakly lowered her hand.

　　This bomb will only detect the level of Honkai energy activity.

　　Therefore, she only needs to rapidly reduce the activity level of Honkai energy in her body, and in theory, the countdown can be stopped.

　　It's a gamble.

　　If she loses the bet, she will die.

　　Will the little fairy feel sad for the Herrscher of Thunder instead of Mei Raiden?

　　Such a thought flashed through the mind of the Queen of Thunder and Lightning.

　　"beep."

　　The countdown stopped.

　　“…”

　　The bet was won.

　　And her attack should have hit the right...

　　The black hole of nothingness swallowed up the incoming lightning.

　　As the God of Darkness, the power of gravity is at his disposal.

　　It is not difficult to create a black hole large enough to swallow an attack.

　　He glanced at the gray-haired girl who was about to attack.

　　"Ugh!"

　　Bronya immediately fell face first to the ground, unable to move.

　　A hundred times the gravity was applied to her body, and even with the protection of the heavily-armored bunny, the girl could hear the wailing of her own bones.

　　"Such a strong...power..."

　　The girl thought with difficulty.

　　"ah?"

　　Before Kiana Kaslana could react, the situation suddenly changed from the Herrscher of Thunder killing people indiscriminately to the hooded man gaining the upper hand.

　　But she reacted quickly.

　　"Stay away from them!"

　　Although she didn't like Mei Raiden and Bronya competing with her for Zerg, Kiana didn't want to see them get hurt or even die.

　　Kiana Kaslana, attack!

　　Holding two guns, she was about to pull the trigger.

　　"boom!"

　　Her body was embedded in the wall.

　　"cough!"

　　A trickle of blood flowed out of his mouth.

　　What is this tile?

　　The white-haired ball opened his eyes wide.

　　"Oh my god."

　　An elegant figure appeared on the battlefield at some point.

　　"Bullying a little girl like this is not what a gentleman should do."

　　The huge sickle narrowly missed the hooded man's neck.

　　“…”

　　The Dark God's expression was very ugly.

　　His strength began to be suppressed, so his neck was almost cut.

　　This means one thing -

　　The Overmind is waking up.

　　The Zerg are ready to move.

　　He is the dark god who created the Zerg Overlord. When the new Overlord is dormant, he can suppress the actions of the Zerg.

　　Even if it is just a fragment of consciousness, it cannot be threatened by these alien insects.

　　However, once the new overlord wakes up, his power will be suppressed to the lowest level, and then he will turn into a ridiculous fat insect.

　　And next time it won’t be easy to get the Overlord to sleep.

　　The huge psychic energy will spontaneously resist the same moves.

　　"Unknown intruder, please surrender."

　　The elegant girl bowed slightly.

　　"Otherwise I can't guarantee your personal safety."

　　She tilted her head slightly.

　　Glancing at the girls who were unable to move—

　　Theresa will be heartbroken.

　　But some shadows seemed to appear around.

　　Pair of eyes lit up in the darkness.

　　The little guys who had disappeared from the campus before reappeared.

　　and--

　　It also brought more strange creatures.

　　But their movements seemed to be restricted.

　　She withdrew her gaze from observing the surroundings.

　　Rita focused her attention on the intruder.

　　"Someone of Anti-Entropy?"

　　She inquired.

　　Not surprisingly, there was no answer.

　　Gravity acted upon her, yet was separated by an invisible force field.

　　As an S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, she arrived here under the order of Archbishop Destiny, and she has a lot of little things on her body.

　　"The power of gravity..."

　　Rita thought.

　　She seemed to know who her opponent was.

　　But if it was really that person—

　　Something doesn't seem right.

　　“…”

　　The situation is not good.

　　His strength was decreasing every moment.

　　The Overlord could wake up at any time.

　　"You don't seem willing to surrender."

　　The girl grasped the sickle.

　　"Then Rita is being rude, guest."

　　The sickle cut through the invisible energy barrier, leaving blood marks on the man's face.

　　Because I might encounter a Herrscher during this mission—

　　The Archbishop authorized her to use various experimental weapons and equipment of the Mandate of Heaven.

　　The Dark God suppressed his anger in his heart.

　　He was actually hurt by a mere ant!

　　Even the third Herrscher had not hurt him.

　　And the reason is simply that the new master is about to wake up.

　　At this moment, the God of Darkness took a look at the white-haired girl embedded in the wall——

　　There is also darkness in the other person's heart.

　　And it is even darker than the darkness of the so-called Third Herrscher.

　　It was deep hatred and anger.

　　So that human is also a Herrscher?

　　The whisper of darkness rang in my ears.

　　Kiana's eyes became confused.

　　She seemed to see some images——

　　Pale snow, a girl with golden blue eyes, flames rising into the sky, a man with a broken arm...

　　"What is that..."

　　The girl murmured to herself.

　　Does she have this picture in her memory?

　　It seems to be there, but it also seems not to be.

　　Her brain seemed to be clamoring for her to forget that moment.

　　The sky blue pupils were gradually replaced by gold.

　　final--

　　When the girl opened her eyes again, they had turned completely golden.

　　“…”

　　The wall seemed to be cut into countless pieces by space.

　　The girl stretched her body.

　　She tilted her head slightly and looked at the hooded figure.

　　"good."

　　The Queen of the Sky said so.

　　She didn't expect that she would appear in this way.

　　But it doesn't matter.

　　Kiana lost her consciousness——

　　As a result, the authority over the Herrscher's Core was also lost.

　　“…”

　　Rita stopped swinging her scythe.

　　Her smile faded.

　　The Second Herrscher...why did she wake up at this time?

　　Could it be this intruder who did it?

　　Could it be that the other party has the ability to awaken the Herrscher?

　　There was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

　　"patta."

　　"patta."

　　"patta."

　　The Herrscher of the Void felt a long-lost sense of relief.

　　With every step she took, her clothes became more gorgeous.

　　This power——

　　Haven't experienced this in a long time.

　　Previously, she had been restrained by Kiana, or perhaps due to insufficient Honkai energy.

　　The dignified Queen of the Sky is being humiliated and bullied everywhere.

　　And now, it's time to vent your anger.

　　Then the first target would be the hooded man who woke her up.

　　The Herrscher of the Void subconsciously hated that guy.

　　"Tell me, human, how do you want to die?"

　　Several Archon Spears appeared behind him.

　　The Herrscher girl asked, supporting her head with one hand.

　　"Since you woke me up, I can let you die without any pain."

　　Glancing at the Valkyrie of Destiny who was urgently evacuating the battlefield, the Queen of the Sky was too lazy to pay attention to her for the time being.

　　Honkai energy has not yet reached its former peak level, and can only be said to be on par with that shameful Third Herrscher.

　　But her Honkai energy is increasing every moment.

　　Without Kiana's suppression, the power of the Herrscher Core was fully released to her.

　　Just wait a little longer and you can trigger another great collapse.

　　Feeling the abundant Houkai energy, the Herrscher girl was in a very happy mood.

　　She doesn't have to worry about being bullied by Kiana anymore.

　　From now on, the white-haired ball will be suppressed in her body forever and will never be able to come out.

　　We can't give up on the revenge we promised.

　　Kill this annoying guy, destroy the school, and then go find Zerg to complete her revenge!

　　“…”

　　The situation seems to be somewhat out of control.

　　The waters that should have been muddied turned out to be targeted only at him.

　　The God of Darkness looked at the girl in the sky.

　　The other party is a more suitable body, more suitable than the Third Herrscher.

　　She is even more corruptible than the Third Herrscher.

　　Even though he didn't say anything, the hatred and anger in his heart were naturally aroused.

　　Obviously she had been suppressing it for a long time.

　　"Not talking? Boring."

　　The Sky Queen did not wait for a reply.

　　She frowned slightly.

　　Forget it, since you don’t want the queen’s mercy, then just impose the queen’s sanctions on you.

　　The Archon Spear behind her turned into a sharp ribbon.

　　When it was about to move forward and cut open the target's body——

　　Whether it was the weak Herrscher of Thunder, the Anti-Entropy Agent who had just regained his ability to move, the S-Class Valkyrie who evacuated urgently, or even the girl with red feathers appearing all over her body, they all heard a voice.

　　"yawn……"

　　It seemed like someone woke up and yawned.
