chapter 16

Perhaps due to the massive avalanche, the Siberian snowfield that is covered with snow all year round is experiencing much heavier snow than before. The dense and dangerous snowflakes are a bit blinding.

But this does not affect Jiang Qiao, who is the Herrscher of the Origin at this time.

While he was observing the other party, it was obvious that the Second Herrscher also noticed his gaze.

"According to the naming convention of pre-civilizations, should I call you sirin?"

The pink girl in gorgeous clothes approached the Second Herrscher lightly. Jiang Qiao looked at the pre-civilized Second Herrscher at close range and unsuspectingly reached out to touch the other's chin.

This behavior seemed to arouse the vigilance of the Second Herrscher, causing him to take a few steps back and distance himself.

However, he didn't take action.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Qiao's body also belonged to the Herrscher, and just like the Honkai beasts he had encountered before, the Second Herrscher would not take the initiative to regard him as an enemy.

But through this brief contact, Jiang Qiao still noticed that the girl in front of her had some emotional fluctuations when she said the name sirin.

"It seems that I guessed it right."

"What a pity. I thought I could use this body as a member of the same species to try to touch you, but I still have a certain amount of wariness?"

Jiang Qiao put down her hand and looked down at the Second Herrscher in front of her with a hint of divine pink eyes, with a hint of helplessness.

Sirin didn't react at all to what he said, like a puppet on strings.

"Although the human part is still there, at this level, even Siyuan's power has no room to operate."

"It's really ugly. Are the Herrschers from the previous era the same as you, with no other emotions in their hearts except the desire for destruction?"

As the Herrscher of the Origin, Jiang Qiao could clearly feel the inner being of the Second Herrscher in front of her.

In emotion, he spoke softly:

"Unpleasant."

As the words fell, a huge amount of Honkai reaction erupted from the Second Herrscher's body.

Sirin, who sensed Jiang Qiao's malice and hostility, instantly classified the former as an enemy, who was originally regarded as a kindred spirit.

"Whoosh!"

A sonic boom broke through the air, and Jiang Qiao didn't even look at it. She turned her head slightly to dodge the attack from the Second Herrscher.

He looked up at the numerous spearheads around him and couldn't help but click his tongue:

"Is this kind of thing originally passed down from ancestors?"

Shape the imaginary space into a sharp spear and launch a projectile attack - the Archon Spear, the Herrscher of the Sky's consistent attack method.

The puffer fish from 50,000 years ago seems to be the same as the one from 50,000 years ago.

wrong--

There are still some.

"Isn't the intensity on the same level?"

Jiang Qiao was a little unsure.

He had not fought against the pufferfish fifty thousand years later. Strictly speaking, the one in front of her was the first Herrscher she had seen besides herself.

But he could still vaguely feel that the strength of the pufferfish in front of him exceeded the standard.

Could a puffer fish 50,000 years later be able to create a sonic boom with something like the Archon Spear when it was first born?

The one with six cores is probably fine, but the one that just left the factory is questionable.

The Herrscher of the Sky's power does not include acceleration.

"If you were hit by something like this, you would probably die on the spot."

Jiang Qiao frowned, raised her hand to caress her cheek, and put her silk gloves on it, so that she could touch the tiny wound that was tingling with pain.

But soon, under the Herrscher's inhuman physique, this delicate wound healed.

"The Herrscher's body is really convenient. It can be easily repaired as long as it is broken."

only--

"It's a bit difficult to fight. The power of the Herrscher of the Origin is not the type that is good at fighting."

Jiang Qiao sighed.

Originally, he thought that after mastering the power of the Herrscher of the Origin, it would be quite easy to deal with the Second Herrscher.

After all, Alicia didn't even discover Siyuan's power, didn't she still win?

But it turned out that it was too simple.

What was recorded in the file was Alicia's decisive victory.

Although the description of a great victory seems easy and freehand, the reality of that battle may not be as simple as recorded.

"However, it's just a little difficult to fight."

While murmuring lightly, Jiang Qiao raised her hand to grasp the bow string.

Between his fingers, an arrow that condensed a huge amount of Honkai energy gradually took shape.

"If it was Alicia, she would say this, right?"

——How about a little romantic atmosphere?

Chapter 24 The Essence of the Origin

Although the power of the Herrscher is not detailed in the plot, it is only clearly shown that it can link other Herrschers together.

But for Jiang Qiao, who is now the Herrscher of the Origin, he is very close to the secret and knows exactly what the power of the Herrscher of the Origin is.

"Links are just superficial forms of expression. The true essence of origin should be [connection]."

Jiang Qiao held the bowstring with her index finger, her pink divine eyes reflected the essence that belonged to Siyuan, and the arrow with authority flowing in his hand was none other than the Dysprosium Feng that belonged to Siyuan!

Unlike all other Herrschers, even though they are all projections of the End, Siyuan is the one closest to the End.

It is not about the level of status. Except for the Herrscher of Finality, the thirteen Herrschers who are also projections have no distinction in status.

Rather, it is determined by their position in the end.

Just like the tiger talisman among the twelve talismans in Jackie Chan's Adventures, the origin representing [connection] has a general role as a central mediator.

If [Endgame] is compared to a system, then Siyuan's role in it is similar to that of a manager.

The reason why the Herrschers of later generations will change is precisely because Alicia, who has the status of administrator, used her [authority] to rewrite certain data in the [Endgame] system.

However, this also resulted in Siyuan not being as distinctive as other Herrschers in combat.

Without the extraordinary destructive power of the Herrscher of Fire, the absolute offensive power of the Herrscher of Thunder, nor the troublesome abilities of those Herrschers that appeared later, Siyuan's method was extremely single and pure.

——It's just that the bricks are flying because of the strength.

The Herrscher of Origin, who plays the role of a manager, is far superior to all Herrschers except the Final One in terms of simply manipulating Honkai Energy.

This is where Alicia's Honkai accuracy, which even Kevin praised, comes from.

And now Jiang Qiao has undoubtedly surpassed Alicia in the use of this body!

As the arrows shot into the sky spread and crystallized, covering the entire space in the pink color belonging to Alicia, Jiang Qiao looked at Sirin who was staying there with interest, and asked softly:

"Now, what are you going to do?"

Field skills are not exclusive to Herrscher of the Sky.

Isolated by the sky that contained the power of the Herrscher, Sirin's original attempt to pull the battlefield in a direction favorable to him undoubtedly failed.

Jiang Qiao likes provocation, not because of the so-called complacency, but simply because provocation can make the enemy angry, and often once angry, very fatal flaws will be revealed.

It's such an easy and effortless thing, why not do it?

——Look, isn't the effect very significant?

...

~Bang!

A half-man-high self-defense machine was whipped into the corner by a baseball bat, followed by a burst of black smoke and a pungent smell, and electric sparks flashed.

"Really, I didn't see the shadow of the passage at all. Is that bastard named Cocolia really here?"

Kiana, who was carrying a baseball bat, looked at the unfamiliar environment around her and complained irritably:

"This place is too big!"

The corridor behind her was filled with self-defense robots. Along the way, Kiana killed at least dozens of these machines, and even Bai Mao Danzi felt a little bored.

Next to the earphones, Alicia's voice came:

"After all, it is the leading company in the electronics field in Changkong City. It is not surprising that it also has to shoulder the surface cover of the anti-entropy base."

"Mei Yi, did you find anything over there?"

"Sorry, not yet."

Mei Yi was also quite helpless. At this time, even she couldn't help but feel a certain amount of resentment towards Thunder and Lightning Ryoma.

As long as my father revealed a few words to me, it wouldn't be so difficult now.

But with Raiden Ryoma's old-fashioned character, it would be strange for him to talk to his precious daughter about such things.

Suddenly, a somewhat arrogant and unfamiliar voice sounded next to my ears:

"Hey, what are you looking for?"

Soon, Mei Yi saw the owner of the voice.

A shark-toothed female imp with several Titans who looks a little bit killer.

It's obvious that the person who came here is evil!

"The enemy has appeared! The leader is an unknown child, who looks very similar to the child from before! It's in the east garage on the second floor below!"

Alicia and Kiana were startled by the nervous and awkward voice belonging to Mei coming from the other end of the communicator.

The two people, who were still looking for passages in different directions, arrived at the coordinates mentioned by Mei Yi as quickly as possible.

I saw Mei Yi struggling to hold on under the teasing of a Titan and could only keep dodging.

Is the other party...playing?

The two of them were confused for a while.

After Xing noticed their arrival, she grinned and revealed her scary shark teeth, and said with a malicious smile:

"You are finally here! I am almost tired of waiting!"

"You're waiting for us? Why?"

"Of course it is more convenient for me to catch you all in one go!"

"I have agreed with Mother to deal with all of you. If you run away, wouldn't it be even more troublesome for me?"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Alicia raised her eyebrows and asked:

"Do you know what Cocolia is going to do?"

Out of concern for girls, she still hoped that beings like Bronya around Cocolia would be able to recover from their lost ways.

For this reason, Alicia will try to tell the other person how terrible what Cocolia is going to do, in order to awaken the other person's conscience as a person.

but--

"What does that kind of thing have to do with me? The mission given to me by Cocolia's mother is just to deal with you!"

Of course Xing knew what Cocolia was going to do, and she was actually somewhat dissatisfied with it - don't get me wrong, this was not out of good or evil, but just dissatisfaction with Cocolia's mother's purpose.

After all, this is to save that coward.

And because of her childhood experiences, she hated the monster.

But I hate it, and what I have to do now is just help Cocolia's mother get rid of these obstructive garbage!

It was obvious that there was no communication at all.

Alicia, who understood this, stroked her chest and said sadly:

"I'm a little sad. Seeing the cute young girl embarking on the road of no return, even I can't help but feel angry towards the person named Cocolia at this moment."
