Chapter 19: Must the Herrscher be killed?
Amidst the shrill screams, Fu Hua's sword pierced Sirin's chest!
"No!"
Under the desperate gaze of the Herrscher girl, Fu Hua defeated her!
All of a sudden, everyone from Schicksal and Anti-Entropy showed excited and joyful expressions.
"Ohhh! We won!"
"Great! We destroyed the Herrscher!"
"Good, good, good! Evil Herrscher, go to hell now!!!"
"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!"
"…"
All of a sudden, everyone in the video began to celebrate instinctively, celebrating that humanity had successfully eliminated a Herrscher and this evil Apostle of Honkai!
…
In the Schicksal branch of Nagazora City.
"Wow, why did you kill Sirin? What did she do wrong?"
As Carol spoke, she wiped her snot and tears on Adam's clothes beside her.
This behavior made the latter's eyelids twitch, but he didn't want to leave the screen at this critical moment.
At the same time, Adam himself spoke with a confused look on his face:
"Does the Herrscher have to be killed? But Sirin has clearly not done anything wrong so far, and has not killed anyone indiscriminately..."
"That's right, why can't we choose to save her?"
Carol spoke up.
Mei Raiden heard the words of the two team members and her expression became very complicated for a moment.
Although the situation was different, she had once faced such a painful situation as a Herrscher, being rejected by the world and hated by her...
If someone hadn't saved her in the end and made her realize that there was still beauty in the world...
"Um?"
Suddenly, Raiden Mei frowned.
The thought that just flashed through her mind made her feel extremely confused.
Because, although she vaguely remembered that she was saved by someone when she turned into the Herrscher of Thunder, she couldn't remember who that person was at all.
That memory seems very vague.
"What on earth is going on?"
Mei Raiden was confused for a moment, and her expression suddenly became complicated.
…
At the same time, Anti-Entropy Corporation.
"Mr. Welt, why do you have to kill the Ruler of the Void?" Seele's face was full of doubt, and she obviously couldn't accept the facts in the picture. "Can't you choose to accept her, or save her?"
"This..." Tesla seemed speechless at Seele's words and obviously could not answer this question.
Welt Yang said with a serious look:
"Generally speaking, Herrschers have a deep connection with the Honkai Will and will be influenced and distorted by the Honkai Will at all times. Therefore, no matter how normal a Herrscher looks, over time, he or she will gradually become a minion of the Honkai Will and will not be able to become a companion of humans, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless we can cut off the connection between the Herrscher and the Honkai Will, as long as we can do this, there is a chance that the Herrscher can break free from control and become a companion of humanity."
As the former Herrscher of Reason, Welt Yang silently recounted his experience of understanding Honkai and Herrscher.
And Seele and Tesla looked at each other, obviously not expecting the answer to be so simple, and at the same time, it seemed completely impossible.
After all, that is the will of Honkai...
It is like a god. Is there anyone who can really separate its will from the Herrscher?
The two expressed deep doubts about this.
…
At the same time, under everyone's attention, the content of the video continued to play.
In the picture, everyone in Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were excited about defeating the Herrscher.
People shouted, wanting to kill the Herrscher of the Void as quickly as possible.
Sirin was extremely desperate and frightened by this.
"No...I don't want to die...I don't want to die..."
Tears flowed from the corners of the girl's eyes and dripped onto the ground.
At this moment, she looked as if she was not an apostle of the Honkai, not a Herrscher who brought the Honkai Eruption to the world and destroyed humanity, but just an ordinary girl who was pitiful and lacked care...
Everything on this vast earth was filled with malice towards her.
No one was willing to stand by her side and protect her from the wind and rain.
[Wow, poor Sirin, I can't bear to watch this any longer!!]
[No, Sirin is not a bad kid, why do you have to kill her? ]
[No matter what Sirin's will is, as a Herrscher she is destined to cause destruction and destroy the world. I think there is nothing wrong with killing her.]
[Alas, but in the end, Sirin has not done anything wrong so far.]
[Yeah, I don't think Sirin has to die like this]
[Where is Mo Chen? Why hasn't Mo Chen appeared yet? ]
[Could it be that Mo Chen was controlled by Otto and was not allowed to participate in the battle?]
[No, please, Master Mo Chen, please come out and save Sirin as soon as possible]
Various comments flashed across the screen. Most people felt helpless about the fact that Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were about to execute Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, and they were unwilling to see this poor innocent child being judged.
Just when everyone was worried about Sirin's fate and longed for someone to save this poor Herrscher girl.
As if hearing people's calls, a figure suddenly appeared.
Purple lightning tore through space, and the black cloak fluttered in the cold wind.
The black-haired man suddenly broke through all the defenses of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy like a god descending from the sky. He stood in front of Sirin with a cold expression and faced the people of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
"Mo Chen?!"
Seeing the man who suddenly appeared, both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were surprised.
As the person closest to the battlefield, Fu Hua instantly sensed the unusualness of the man in front of her. With a serious expression, she asked, "Why do you want to protect this Herrscher?"
"No reason."
Mo Chen calmly looked into the eyes of the most powerful Immortal in the world, without any fear or retreat, and said loudly: "If you insist, I am just a righteous hero of Justice passing by, that's all."
"Hero of Justice?"
Hearing Mo Chen's words, everyone was surprised.
After all, in the current situation, killing this Herrscher is a must. Only by killing the Herrscher can the world reduce the risk of being destroyed.
So, everyone at the scene looked at Mo Chen as if he were a clown, thinking that he was just a madman who was talking nonsense.
Although Siegfried, Cecilia, and Theresa somewhat understood what Mo Chen said, they did not dare to stand up clearly at this time.
Because that would go against their duty as Valkyries...
The situation of the Anti-Entropy Organization is similar, and none of them support Mo Chen's choice.
Mo Chen himself ignored everyone's gazes and turned to look at the little girl lying on the ground.
Faced with Sirin's dazed look and her eyes that seemed to be looking at an illusion, Mo Chen smiled, reached out his hand, and touched the other's head.
"Why..." With tears streaming down her eyes, Sirin murmured vaguely, "Why are you willing to protect me? Why don't you want to kill me like them..."
In response to Sirin's confusion, Mo Chen simply said calmly:
"It's very simple, because I told you, little girl, as long as you give up the hatred and pain in your heart and are willing to fight for beauty, then I will definitely protect you and will not let anyone hurt you again."
"No matter what time, no matter what danger you encounter, no matter what kind of enemy you face... I will appear by your side and be your personal partner!"
"As long as you keep this promise, this sentence will always count!"
After saying that, Mo Chen turned around silently, leaving Sirin with a large back view.
Although the figure was not tall, it made Sirin feel a sense of security she had never felt before, and hot tears could not stop flowing down her face!
