I've been a believer in the Elysian Church since I was born!

On Taixu Mountain, there are only a few feathers left.

The Herrscher of Sentience and Fu Hua are gathering these feathers, each containing fragments of past powers and memories, while also opening up the question of who is Fu Hua.

When the Herrscher of Sentience touched one of Dr. Mei's memories, she quickly pulled her hand back, frowning.

With determination, she declared, "I won't listen to Mei anymore. I won't obey Otto, and I won't follow Kevin. From now on, I'll make my own choices."

"I'm going to turn things around and make everything different. Just watch."

Fu Hua didn't say much because she knew the other party wouldn't listen to her.

Instead, she gazed into the distance, a hint of horror reflecting in her eyes.

The Herrscher of Sentience noticed her expression and asked, "What are you looking at? Why are there Zombie here too?"

As soon as the Herrscher of Sentience understood the situation, she sprang into action.

Without hesitation, she dashed forward. Driven by her commitment to fight against the Honkai as the Red Kite Immortal, she knew she had to intervene.

She drew her sword, ready to bring justice to the scene, determined to confront any threat that stood before her.

With swift and powerful movements, her punches landed like bolts of lightning, each one as forceful as a thousand spears. In no time, she easily wiped out the troublesome Zombie.

The Herrscher of Sentience and Fu Hua were well aware of what it took to create such dead warriors. They scanned the area carefully, making sure there were no more threats lurking around.

When they saw that the coast was clear, they both sighed in relief.

"No one else around? Good," the Herrscher of Sentience said, feeling a bit more relaxed. "Now, let's focus on cleaning up these dead soldiers."

But just after they finished clearing the battlefield and were about to continue their exploration, a rustling sound caught their attention.

They turned towards the corner where the noise came from and saw a girl slowly emerging from the shadows.

Her body was covered in purple veins, and her face, though youthful and innocent, was twisted in pain. She looked fragile and frightened, clearly suffering from the effects of the Honkai eruption.

It seemed that she was the only survivor of this disaster.

---

"It's a pity that she still died. She died in my hands. All I could do was give her a good dream. In that dream, maybe there would be no Honkai and no pain."

Herrscher of Sentience had always been careless, let out a rare sigh after seeing this, and looked a little unbearable, but there was nothing she could do.

At that time, it was only in hindsight that she realized that she might have caused the Honkai.

As an apostle of Honkai, her resistance to Honkai is strong enough and her combat power is remarkable. However, all she can do is accelerate the erosion of Honkai without being able to eliminate it.

Because… she is Honkai.

"There is still no effective and universal cure for Honkai erosion. Even if it can be mitigated, the cost is enormous..." Mobius added on the side that she knew quite a bit about this aspect.

Therefore, after learning about the God-killing Spear, she wanted to obtain the Holy Blood for further research, hoping to find a way to understand the Honkai Energy.

Unfortunately, Cecilia revealed that her blood no longer had the desired effect. Instead, she had discovered a better method to alleviate Honkai energy: Stigmata.

Typically, stigmata result from the inheritance of specific innate genes, making them rare and difficult to develop naturally after birth. However, the appearance of certain cards introduced unexpected variables, creating anomalies in how stigmata could manifest.

According to the information she gathered from various sources, Himeko's survival was likely due to the card stigmata in her body. This idea was also supported by other evidence.

"Effective? Universal? If it were that easy, Honkai wouldn't be something everyone fears and avoids," the Herrscher of Sentience remarked. She never had high expectations for a simple solution; she always knew the harsh reality.

While she didn't fully agree with Fu Hua's extreme determination 'save' people who 'possessed by demons,' she acknowledged that some people were beyond saving.

This acceptance of reality was something she had come to terms with over time.

"Tsk, it seems you don't know yet. Didn't Hua tell you? Stigmata ~," Mobius said, her eyes suddenly lighting up with interest. She shifted restlessly on the sofa and, with a seductive tone, added, "Ah, do you want to know? Come to my room, and I'll tell you ~"

"Stigmata? From what you're saying, it must be different from what I know," the Herrscher of Sentience replied curiously. She genuinely didn't understand.

Although she had only been in this world for a few days, her understanding of it was mainly gathered through online sources.

By piecing together various bits of information she had 'accidentally' overheard, she could roughly guess the current time period.

The biggest difference now is the presence of Kallen. Kallen leads Schicksal, but there's no information about Otto. And then there's Luo Mo, who holds significant power in St. Freya.

It's all so complicated ~ but also quite fascinating.

"Aren't you always curious about Luo Mo? He used the stigmata to trick Elysia into coming here. Well ~, he left very quickly," Mobius remarked with a cunning smile.

"It sounds like you're saying I'm a human trafficker using lollipops," Luo Mo replied, clearly dissatisfied. "Back then, Elysia and I were like good friends who had never met."

how could he call it a lie? Then they hit it off immediately, and the two hit it off.

Besides, didn't you also come here in a hurry?

If Kevin hadn't stopped you, you would have been the most active one, although Luo Mo also knew that if only Mobius was released, he himself would be the one being studied.

"Haha, I'm glad you think so, but Luo Mo... how did we become good friends if we've never met?" Elysia asked, looking a bit embarrassed. She felt that the explanation didn't quite make sense.

"Well... I've been a believer in the Elysian Church since I was born!" Luo Mo replied proudly.

"..., Elysia, when did you develop religion? Why didn't I know?" Mobius tilted his head, becoming even more confused.

There was an awkward silence on the scene,

There was an awkward silence in the room. Kiana, the three kids, and Seele had been quietly discussing whether their boss was trying to impress Elysia, but their conversation abruptly stopped as they all turned their attention to the unexpected revelation.

Oh, I see...?

Isn't it right? Is there a religion called Elysian Church? First time hearing about it!

"Oh, don't pay any attention to him. There's nothing strange about the Elysian Church, it's all just baseless rumors ♪ " Elysia was so angry that her teeth itched.

How could he still bring up that 'thing'? There's no such religion!

"Anyway, weren't we just discussing how to combat Honkai erosion? Shouldn't we get back to that?" Elysia suggested, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

"...Well, actually, I'm more interested in this now. Trying to explain the principle to you would be too complicated," Mobius replied, narrowing her eyes. She wasn't going to let this pink-haired fat woman get away with making a fool of herself.

Regardless, she was determined to keep the conversation going.

As for eliminating Honkai, she had an unspoken reason.

For some reason, she was very concerned about the core of the Herrscher, and even if the other cores couldn't be dissolved, that one would do it.

---

As the Herrscher of Sentience had mentioned, Fu Hua couldn't save the girl.

Feeling helpless, the Herrscher of Sentience suggested that the girl take a nap. In her dream, the girl seemed to find some peace. Her eyes brightened, her tense expression softened, and her face relaxed.

Feeling a sense of determination, the Herrscher of Sentience decided to take matters into her own hands.

She knew she couldn't bring the girl back, but she could seek justice on her behalf. With that resolution, she set out to eliminate all the nearby dead warriors and Honkai beasts.

It was something she could do, at least.

But she couldn't find any other survivors nearby; it seemed they were all gone. Despite this, she felt compelled to visit the lone survivor one last time.

With a heavy heart, she approached the girl and offered her one final gift: a peaceful dream. It was the only thing she could give, a respite from the harsh reality, where the girl could escape the pain, if only for a moment.

"Did you kill her?"

"No, I gave her a dream," she replied solemnly. "You asked me to save her, but there's only so much I can do."

Fu Hua just stared at the statue of the immortal in the distance. The immortal always protected this land, and the people on the land always respected the immortal.

"Oh, why don't you speak? My mood is already very bad, no matter what you say, it won't get worse." The Herrscher of Sentience said to the other party's back.

"I've placed many Xuanyuan Swords and Fenghuang Down here. Logically, a Honkai Eruption shouldn't have much effect," Fu Hua said softly, fully aware that her words might not be well-received.

"But since we arrived, the Honkai Impact happened. There's only one explanation..." She paused, knowing her next words might stir up some discomfort.

"…alright!" As the voice fell, Fu Hua's figure instantly became transparent.

Herrscher of Sentience said coldly, "I can shut you up with just a thought, and I can easily make you disappear."

"You are a piece of Fenghuang Down... a Herrscher from the previous era. I should have destroyed you immediately. I can't listen to a word you say."

"But I respect you and allow you to exist independently."

"... Stop trying to mess with my thoughts, Honkai Impact!"

Herrscher of Sentience seethed with anger at the overt and covert implications of being labeled a Herrscher.

It is clear that the other party is so weak, even if it is eroded by Honkai.

Wasn't it more plausible for her? Why couldn't she reconcile with herself?

Fenghuang Down... is just a herrscher with consciousness from the previous era.

---

[This Herrscher seems so adorable. Is she really the Herrscher of Honkai Impact? Why does her artistic style look so different from other Herrschers?]

[Fu Hua: Damn it, I became a Herrscher, and it's me?]

[What kind of statue is that? It doesn't look alike at all! Obviously that place is different from Fu Hua!]

[There is nothing wrong with this Herrscher of Sentience. Regardless of deeds or heart, they are all very gentle people]

[At this point, the Herrscher of Sentience must have noticed it, but she's unwilling to admit she's the Herrscher. After all, Fu Hua is just a shadow. How could she possibly have the power to trigger a Honkai eruption?]

" It's really surprising. To tell a joke, the Herrscher said she was going to defeat Honkai. " Kalpas said this, but apparently no one could laugh.

"Although Kalpas, you told a good joke and it's not a bad joke like Kevin's, but from your mouth, I don't feel like laughing at all ~"

Elysia calmed down the atmosphere and said, after all, after Kalpas finished speaking, everyone else was cold and a little embarrassed.

Kevin was lying on the sofa, very innocent, and looked at Elysia, but his cold expression was helpless.

"Oh, seriously? What if I decide to join the Elysian Church?" Kalpas joked, which made Elysia couldn't help but want punch Luo Mo again.

It was all his fault.

Elysia's beautiful eyes were sad, she hadn't seen the Elysian Church or anything like that before, wasn't it just a illusory organization?

"Joining the Elysian Church requires review! " Seeing Elysia's intense stare, Luo Mo cleared his throat and stepped forward.

"Huh? Are there any conditions? Tell me!"

Kalpas leaned back, crossing his arms, curious to see what conditions the other party would lay out.

He just wanted to make Elysia angry. Religion? Religion? Ha, as if he cared.

"Priority goes to beautiful girls, those with a sense of self-awareness, and those with horns on their heads..." Luo Mo counted off on his fingers. As the chief member, he felt responsible for managing the recruitment process.

"Don't, please, stop talking ♪ ~..." Elysia's voice came out like a whisper, barely audible. Her hands frantically searched the table, hoping to find the tape she remembered leaving there the day before. She needed it now more than ever.

This time, she decided to tie it extra tightly, making sure it held firm. Maybe if she silenced the other person, they wouldn't be able to embarrass her any further. It was worth a try, right?

Ugh——, I'm going to die, doesn't the other party know how embarrassing it is?

Even the social butterfly lowered her head.

If there really was someone who felt this way about her, she wished they'd tell her in private. She'd be over the moon. But saying it out loud in front of everyone? That was a different story.

In any case, she'd appreciate it if someone would tell her secretly. But as for being considered a standard employee? It felt a bit like being part of a cult...

"Priority goes to those in pink skirts, and maybe we'll hold back the Tsundere types a bit..."

Phew, finally! Elysia found what she was looking for—the roll of tape. It may have been a plain old roll, and it might have been taken away rather forcefully, but it would do the job just fine.

With practiced precision, she reached behind her and swiftly applied the tape over Luo Mo's protesting mouth. "Uh-huh (I wasn't finished yet)!" he mumbled, but Elysia paid him no mind.

Amidst a hissing sound, Elysia completed her masterpiece and tore off the last piece of tape with her hands, revealing a Luo Mo whose mouth was bound.

He could only hesitate. Although the tape would definitely not be able to wrap him up with his strength, he could not stop Elysia who was already furious, so he decided to give in a little.

He knew he was wrong, but he would dare to do it next time!

"Yeah, sure, let's keep the conversation going. Where were we? Oh yeah, talking about Little Senti, the Herrscher, right? ♪"

Elysia smiled again, but there was a hint of strain behind it. If it weren't for the tape in her hand and someone who could only whimper, she might still be the cheerful girl she remembered.

Let's change the topic quickly, anything to divert attention from this situation. Even Eden looked at Ellie with surprise, feeling a bit helpless. It wasn't easy for Ellie to maintain her smile either.

Looking at it from this angle, maybe these two could truly become close friends.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (Talking about the first missionary work, the first believer will be welcomed soon)!" Luo Mo attempted to speak up, but unfortunately, he was hindered by external circumstances.

At just the right moment, the Herrscher of Sentience intervened, pretending to nod in agreement before speaking with seriousness, "Oh, Luo Mo has something to add. We were just discussing the commendable actions of the great Herrscher of Sentience, worthy of praise."

"However, Fu Hua should take a moment to reflect. her approach lacks tact and is unreasonable. She should offer an apology and hand over the Herrscher of Sentience to her promptly."

"Uh huh (how did you become a translator)?" Luo Mo stared at the Herrscher of Sentience, horrified by their inability to accurately translate, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Yeah, no problem. I'm pretty sure I got the translation right," the Herrscher of Sentience affirmed with a satisfied nod. Then, turning serious, they addressed Fu Hua, "Listen, old antique, why don't you just apologize already?"

"Uh-huh (Is it just me, or are you two from completely different worlds?)" Luo Mo muttered under his breath, rolling his eyes.

Taking advantage of someone's vulnerability? That didn't sit right with him.

At least little Senti didn't beat around the bush or lie outright. It seemed she weren't too skilled in that department, at least.

"I forgot about this, thank you for reminding me. Old antique, who built the statue for you! Luo Mo said that he copied it stroke by stroke in the game without conscience. In some places, there is no trace at all. Don't consider authenticity! " The Herrscher of Sentience said loudly.

In a place where others could not see, she also secretly compared the position of her chest, giving crazy hints.

"Um??"

Fu Hua's eyes hardened now, and she frowned at Luo Mo and Little Senti, with a faint coldness and murderous intent.

Can this joke be passed?

"Don't look at me, it was Luo Mo who said it ~"

Little Senti whistled, completely forgetting that her own figure was the exact replica of the other person's.
