"..." Kallen said nothing, just frowning and thinking about things.
Recalling the scene her his mind, the other party... Did Otto come to the prison to find her with this mentality?
He did know herself well enough to know that she would not succumb to the pressure of the three major families at that time.
But it's also unfortunate that he knows herself well enough, so he can only watch the direction of things powerlessly from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty, is this a malicious fabrication? Do you need me to warn him? "
Rita looked at the frowning Kallen and said that she thought Bishop Kallen was not happy with this kind of plot that included herself, and thought she might need to warn Luo Mo.
Of course, she actually had some small thoughts. The Lost Rosemary dubbing in the past two days was stopped several times.
This was the first time Rita had ever been told her voice acting was bad in so many ways. Honestly, even she thought the criticism was a little harsh.
"Don't worry about it," Kallen said with a dismissive shake of her head. "It's all just stuff in the game. It doesn't bother me."
Even though she tried to brush it off, seeing the situation play out in the game helped Kallen piece together the bigger picture of what happened back then.
As for her reputation...well, Kallen doubted anyone even remembered a person who vanished 500 years ago. That much was clear from everything she'd seen.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Rita replied, a hint of disappointment flickering across her face before vanishing just as quickly.
Professionalism was Rita's middle name. When she was on the job, her personal feelings never interfered. It was a strength that had always served her well.
However, this whole situation with the game had raised her curiosity, especially regarding Otto. Here they were, practically forcing a marriage on the bishop! It was disrespectful, to say the least.
" I know that you may be very curious about Otto..." Kallen admitted, a hesitant look clouding her face. "The thing is, Rita, he... well, he was real. But that's all I can tell you for now. The rest, I honestly don't know much about myself."
Kallen said with a hesitant look on her face. She had thought many times about whether to confide in Rita, whom she trusted most.
Kallen had wrestled with the idea of confiding in Rita, her most trusted confidante.
But then there was the whole game plot to consider. Otto appeared a lot in the future stuff, and Kallen really hoped it wouldn't cause any problems between Rita and... well, him.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Still the same answer,
Despite the seemingly simple answer, the doubts swirling in Rita's eyes only intensified. She understood, however, that there were limits to Kallen's revelations. The bishop only shared what she deemed appropriate, and Rita wouldn't interfere further.
...
The epic clash between the Herrscher of Sentience and Kevin had just ended, leaving both warriors panting for breath.
She stumbled away from the fight, seeking refuge in the cool shade of a giant rock. Closing her eyes, she began to hum a soft tune, the melody acting as a balm to her tired body.
As her strength slowly returned, she turned her head towards Kevin with a playful smile.
"How's it going? Kevin ~, now you believe I'm the real person, right?"
Kevin stayed silent, but his next move was strange and unexpected. He raised his right hand and placed it over his heart, a serious look on his face.
Then, he slowly lifted his gaze towards the vast, empty sky in the distance.
It was completely clear, not a single bird or cloud in sight.
For a moment, there was only silence. Then, in a soft murmur, Kevin spoke, "...yes, you're right here." It was unclear who he was addressing.
His voice wasn't raised or directed at anyone in particular, almost as if he was talking to himself or someone unseen.
He stretched out his hand, and there was a feather lying quietly in his palm. It was one of Fenghuang Down's Feather.
...
"It seems that after the battle, Kevin confirmed that you are not Fu Hua."
Elysia smiled and observed the expression on the face of the Herrscher of Sentience.
As expected, she showed obvious displeasure and couldn't control her emotions like a child. She pointed her finger in the air and said with a brighter smile, "But you didn't take the initiative to expose it? Kevin has made some progress. "
"Do you call this progress? If you have any problems, why don't you point them out in person? It would make me so embarrassed..."
The Herrscher of Sentience said with resentment, glanced at Kevin, but had no intention of rushing forward to fight.
After all, the opponent has a large number of people. With thirteen people lined up there, who has the ability to fight? She wouldn't go anyway; she wouldn't fight such an uncertain battle!
" If it is exposed, I will be the one who makes a fool of myself. " Kevin said calmly, keeping his eyes on the game scene, which could be regarded as an explanation to the other party.
He was 100% sure that if he told her directly that she is not Fu Hua, the other party would definitely fight him again, she didn't care whether it was right or wrong, so why bother with the other party?
The Herrscher of Sentience clicked her tongue. "Well, well," she said, puffing out her chest a little. "Looks like even Kevin recognizes my strength ~"
A booming laugh erupted from behind Kalpas' mask. "Hahaha! About time, Kevin!"
Herrscher of Sentience narrowed her eyes at Kalpas.
They were practically nose-to-nose, and she knew he wasn't exactly known for his patience. Still, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "Hey, Kalpas," she said, her voice dripping with fake sweetness, "you got any problems with that?"
"Opinions ? I have objections to the Herrscher, but not to Hua. As long as you admit that you are Hua for one day, I will have no objections to you." Kalpas to say a lot of words, which were also advice.
He had no intention of starting a war with his comrades, except of course Mobius and Aponia. "As for just now, you can understand that I just thought of some interesting things."
"It's true. It's as rude as I remember. Why don't we make a date(read that as fight)? I can't stand it when you keep talking like this. "
The Herrscher of Sentience moved her body and said with bright eyes that she had long planned to test the strength of these old friends.
No way were they all at their peak strength, right? That would just be silly! If they really were, then why mess around with Honkai at all? They could just smash it all to bits, easy peasy! (Okay, maybe that last part was a bit of an exaggeration.)
"It depends on whether the pink-haired woman agrees or not." Kalpas was not afraid and said with a cold smile.
If his strength hadn't required the supply of that woman stigmata, he would have started fighting with this Herrscher in his true form, just to see how much Hua had grown in the next civilization.
And this Herrscher, who is evenly matched with Kevin... Haha, he didn't even have the confidence to say this.
Who knows what Kevin will look like fifty thousand years from now?
" Ah ~, huh? Fighting is not what a good Girld should do, Little Senti, you are only 1 year old, don't imitate others to fight ~"
Elysia shook her head slowly, indicating that she did not agree with this fight.
" You guy..." The Herrscher of Sentience was filled with hatred. Did Elysia really treat her as a child?
How many times have I told her that she is fifty thousand years old, fifty thousand years old! He is the same age as the old antique!
...
The harsh desert wind whipped sand across the sky, turning it a dusty yellow. The wreckage of a fierce battle lay scattered around a man and a woman, the only signs of life in this desolate landscape.
After easily getting the feather she wanted from Kevin, Herrscher of Sentience very satisfied.
"Where are you going?" perhaps out of curiosity or concern with that feather, Kevin asked the Herrscher in front of him who claimed to be his comrade-in-arms.
"Honestly, I haven't figured it out yet," Herrscher of Sentience admitted, a playful lilt in her voice. "No need to rush me. I've got a few loose ends to tie up first."
"There are favors I owe, vengeance I need to exact, and friends who need my help. Plus, that whole Honkai mess isn't going to clean itself up, right? No point in taking a vacation when there's work to be done."
A grin stretched across her face, sharp and confident. "Maybe someday we'll get to fight together again, old friend."
She said it like if in a hurry, but also as if she didn't care, the other party immediately revealed her plan, and she was indeed preparing to fight against Honkai.
Kevin raised an eyebrow, interested by her last statement. "So, are you thinking of joining the World Serpent?" he asked.
" Thank you for your respect. Alas, I don't even know when you will come back. That guy Otto..."
The Herrscher of Sentience shook her head, remembering the shot in the forehead.
As for Kevin's invitation, she had no intention of becoming someone else's subordinate.
Not now and never again.
The two said goodbye and drove off. As they were moving forward, her fingers brushed against the feather Kevin had given her.
Unlike the other feathers in her body, this one bore a strange mark, like a seal. Curious, she focused Honkai energy, trying to break it.
A Woman who was so weak that her body was pale and unable to maintain her original shape appeared in front of her.
"That guy Kevin actually used you like this?... No wonder he had to seal it. " The Herrscher of Sentience frowned and muttered.
Wasting no time, Herrscher of Sentience channeled her Honkai energy once more, this time not to break the seal, but to stabilize the weakened woman before her.
With the help of her 'Fenghuang Down', the faint figure became conscious and looked at the person with the same appearance as her in front of her and fell into deep thought.
Fenghuang Down : "... who are you ? "
Hua(?): "I am your master. "
Hua(?): "After all, you are also my clone. It's really uncomfortable to see you like this. "
" I... am your clone? "
After waking up, Fu Hua was a little confused. She didn't understand why someone said that she was her clone as soon as she woke up.
There has never been such a situation in fifty thousand years.
Moreover, the other party looked confident and convinced that she was Fu Hua...
...
Elysia burst into laughter, doubling over and slapping Fu Hua on the shoulder. "A clone? Ha! That's hilarious, Fu Hua! You, a copy?" Tears streamed down her face as she wheezed with laughter.
This was the funniest thing she'd ever heard.
Is the birth of the Herrscher of Sentience too miraculous? I'm afraid she been brainwashed by Fu Hua's memory.
Herrscher of Sentience use the real body and let others act as clones?
"It can also be seen from here that at that time, the great Herrscher of Sentience, Ms. Senti, really regarded herself as Fu Hua herself from the bottom of her heart."
Luo Mo did not forget to add on the side, admiring with some emotion.
"Don't add honorifics at this time."
The Herrscher of Sentience, overwhelmed by a sudden wave of shyness, buried her face in her hands. A blush crept up her cheeks, and she instinctively leaned into Fu Hua's side. The comment felt like a spotlight on a past she'd rather keep hidden.
Ugh! This is a disaster! Originally, only two people knew about that super embarrassing moment, but now the whole world seems to be in on it. What a nightmare!
that was originally intended to promote her own great achievements suddenly became a little disgusting.
Stop showing this embarrassing clip!
" Eh? What's next? Why is it gone? In a place like this? Luo Mo—— "
Elysia tried to play the next part. Just when she was excitedly preparing to watch the follow-up development.
Elysia's jaw dropped. They told her the next chapter of the main story started in three days? Her head tilted in confusion as she stared at Luo Mo.
Luo Mo raised his head and looked at the ceiling. He felt that it was indeed designed by Eden. The ordinary decoration was also full of charm. He could stare at it for a whole hour!
"That's it?" Elysia finally snapped, her voice dripping with mock horror. "It's over already? We just saw the Herrscher of Sentience and Fu Hua interact, and it cuts off? Seriously?!"
A mischievous glint flickered in her eyes. "Don't you know I like a good romance scene, especially between pretty girls?"
Luo Mo gave Elysia a wide-eyed, innocent look. "Hey, it's getting pretty late, wouldn't it be awesome to come back after a good three-day rest? We can recharge and dive back in then!"
The truth was, they'd reached a stopping point in the story.
All the hints and clues had been dropped, setting things up for what's to come.
We learned more about the connection between the Herrscher of Sentience and Fu Hua, and even got a glimpse into Fu Hua's past.
But the rest of the story? Think of it like a cliffhanger! It's like the game is telling us to come back for more, and that more will be available in a few days, two or three to be exact.
Actually, this might be a blessing in disguise," Luo Mo piped up quickly. "Think of it this way: the break gives the Herrscher of Sentience a chance to re-record some of her key lines later. That way, the game will be even better!"
The Herrscher of Sentience's eyes widened in realization. "Oh, that explains it! I always felt something was off with the voice acting. It just didn't sound quite right, you know, like it lacked a certain...spark."
"Is it the voice dubbed by an old antique? "
Alas, not everyone can dub her perfectly. Who makes her so special ~ Hehe
"No, as far as I know, it's Hua. Fu Hua is matched with herself." Elysia said with a bright smile, but when she looked at Luo Mo, Luo Mo always felt a chill down his spine.
Could it be... could she want to put a sack on himself again?
Luo Mo's heart skipped a beat and he became alert as he prepared to go to and from work, although it probably didn't help.
Isn't it just a small break? After all, the subsequent plot still needs to be polished and looked at other people's opinions.
"Actually, there are some advantages to this break," Luo Mo explained. "It gives players a chance to rest and recharge, just like we do. They'll come back feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the next part of the story."
Elysia narrowed her eyes, a suspicion creeping in. "Something feels off here. Are you hiding another tearjerker plot? Is there a knife involved again?"
Luo Mo kept his face neutral, which unfortunately did little to quell her suspicions. He could try to act innocent, but with Elysia, it was a gamble whether she'd see through it.
How about... put a sack on him first?
Anyway, even if there is no knife this time, there will definitely be one in the future.
"How is it possible, Ellie, we are good friends. I will definitely not lie to you this time. No, no knife!" Luo Mo vowed.
Mobius scoffed from the sidelines. "Friends, huh? That's a convenient term all of a sudden." Her gaze flickered with doubt.
Maybe she should stick with her original plan and use that trap...after all, Luo Mo wasn't exactly known for his honesty.
" Oh——, I'm a little tired after watching it for so long ~"
The Herrscher of Sentience stretched his waist after a long time, and her beautiful figure was just right in the sunlight. The exposed waist was dazzling white in the sunlight.
She hadn't expected such a treat! Watching these highlights brought back so many good memories, both the moments themselves and the people she shared them with. It filled her with a warm, fuzzy feeling.
It made her a little sleepy. Now she just wants to go back and take a nap.
As for her original world... well, let's just say she wasn't too worried. She'd figure something out later, that old antique could handle things for a while. Besides, a nap sounded way too good to pass up!
Alright, bedtime!" The Herrscher of Sentience declared, tuning out the bickering completely. Whether there was a knife hidden in the story or not, she honestly didn't care.
All she craved right now was a return to the land of slumber.
Fu Hua, on the other hand, wore a puzzled expression. Clearly, the truth had dawned on her. It was perfectly normal to feel tired, but who exactly was the Herrscher talking to?
Doesn't she have a bad relationship with herself ? It doesn't look like...
"Hold on, it can't be that late yet, can it?" She peeked out the window, her brow furrowed in confusion.
Taking a closer look, she realized it was actually just noon. According to Luo Mo's usual routine, he probably wouldn't even be out of bed yet!
" Huh? I thought you had a bad relationship with Fu Hua ~, and I thought you would stay here with Fu Hua. " Elysia was also a little surprised and stopped thinking about how to manipulate Luo Mo.
"Just tell me whether you want to save those two guys Fuxi and Nuwa! Just pay for the rent... isn't it too much? " The Herrscher of Sentience picked her ears and didn't care what they were talking about. she even yawned.
It's okay if I don't say it, but the more I say it, the more sleepy I feel.
In the end, despite the possibility of demolishing her home and the resurrection of Fuxi Nuwa, Fu Hua quickly made a choice and returned to her residence with the Herrscher of Sentience.
...
Wait, won't this world reject me somehow?" The Herrscher of Sentience worried, tilting her head up at the sky as they walked.
"Don't worry about that," Luo Mo assured her. "I paid the bail to bring you in, so everything's legit. If anything goes wrong, I'll just have to contact customer service and get some help." He sighed inwardly. A cool 15,000 crystals down the drain...
But hey, at least you don't have to deal with the whole cloning Fu Hua thing, right? So that's a plus!
" What kind of bail money? It makes me feel like I have been in jail..."
The Herrscher of Sentience was speechless and said, giving Luo Mo a roll of her eyes, " Now that I have met my old friend, is there anything else to do? I'm quite sleepy ~"
" If you want to stay here, Little Senti, I think you need to report it to the principal and tell her the 'good news' by the way. She will definitely jump with joy. "
The Herrscher of Sentience furrowed her brow. "Wait, wasn't that little white-haired principal the one who wasn't exactly Fu Hua's biggest fan? Maybe that's why I wasn't too keen on taking Kiana in the first place..."
" Obviously, the boss is joking..." Fu Hua sighed, " The principal of the academy has always been worried about the number of Herrschers in the academy. If we add one more..."
Thinking of this, Fu Hua couldn't help but have a headache. The Herrscher seemed to be too much, and she felt that she couldn't bear it.
"Is there still someone who discriminates against Herrschers? I want to have a good talk with her! "
"If it doesn't work, let her become the next Herrscher and let her experience the feelings of the Herrscher. " The Herrscher of Sentience became a little interested.
What's wrong with you, Herrscher? There are so many Herrschers in the academy!
It's definitely okay to have one more of her!
...
As anticipated, Theresa's reaction time was somewhat sluggish. Upon hearing from Luo Mo that another Herrscher of Sentience, Fu Hua, had appeared, she took a moment to process the information.
"Uh, what does that have to do with me?" she asked, sounding genuinely puzzled.
Theresa's legs, which were slender and youthful, swung gently as she sat on the sofa. Despite being in her forties, her soft and smooth skin hinted at a much younger age.
Her protective nature was evident as she looked at Luo Mo with wide, innocent eyes. Her expression was one of genuine confusion, almost childlike, as if she couldn't quite grasp the significance of what he was saying.
"That's the Herrscher of Sentience, just like the one in the game," Luo Mo said, blinking as he looked at Theresa. "And clearly, you haven't noticed yet that there aren't nearly as many Herrschers in Honkai Impact as there are in your academy."
"So, it's pretty obvious that we have the highest number of Herrschers in the world, and we're definitely the top Herrscher training center!"
"Huh? Oh, Sentience... wait, why has the Herrscher of Sentience appeared?" Theresa asked, her expression one of bewilderment. She looked at him with wide eyes, her gaze drifting upward like someone lost in thought, her blue eyes giving off a sense of confusion.
She felt completely thrown off balance, her thoughts in a whirl.
Then, all of a sudden, she recoiled, moving back more than three feet, her eyes fixed warily on the Herrscher of Sentience standing nearby.
The Herrscher of Sentience reached out and greeted her.
Why? Shouldn't the next step be for Anna to awaken, and then for World Snake to inform Schicksal about whether Chen Tianwu has awakened or something like that?
Why had a Herrscher of Sentience suddenly shown up?
And to make it even stranger, why was it someone from her academy? This Herrscher had not only appeared but had joined her academy and decided to stay there.
"The facts are always so strange. As the saying goes, when heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to the people of this country, they must first..." Luo Mo shook his head and began to explain at length.
"Stop, stop, I already understand the basic facts. In other words, there is another Herrscher in my academy, right?" Theresa said, pressing her temples as if she had a headache. Her face contorted with a mix of pain and frustration.
"That's right," Luo Mo replied, his voice filled with emotion. "Gathering all the Herrschers is just around the corner."
He seemed inexplicably relieved, as if a great goal was about to be achieved. "Think about it," he continued. "Now we have to start counting which Herrschers haven't yet joined Saint Freya's side. Isn't this a huge victory?"
"Ugh—ahhh, what kind of 'big victory' is this?! I don't want this kind of victory!" Theresa exclaimed as she rolled around on the sofa, completely disregarding the way her skirt got wrinkled.
She felt a deep sense of despair, her outlook on the future growing increasingly bleak. Was it really too much to ask for a chance to improve the reputation of the Far East Demon Cave? She wasn't ready to give up, she truly didn't want to give up.
She had worked so hard to earn respect among the major branches, and it wasn't because she was the bishop's granddaughter.
Her accomplishments were her own, and she had fought for them every step of the way.
" But, this is not a victory. "
Luo Mo was very satisfied and very happy about it.
