Bab 259: Miss Herrscher of Sentience is the cutest in the world!
"But boss, you can't just ignore that she's a Herrscher!" Kiana couldn't help but say, secretly clenching her hands, her expression always alert.
However, she had no intention of acting rashly.
Okay the thing she said was not convincing at all.
After all, she was surrounded by a circle of Herrschers, Mei, Seele, Bronya... ah herself.
"Whoa, what's your problem, Herrscher? Forget to eat breakfast this morning?" The Herrscher of Sentience stared at Kiana like she'd just grown a second head.
Seriously, what was with these Herrschers lately? Yeah, she's a Herrscher, big deal. Doesn't mean she had to act all high and mighty about it.
The Herrscher of Sentience crossed her arms, a hint of annoyance in her voice.
Over there, you just say in front of yourself that you are a Herrscher every day.
Yes, yes, you are right. But now, looking at it, are all of them Herrschers? ah you also Herrschers, Are you embarrassed to talk to me?
"So, are you the Herrscher who harms mankind?"
Fu Hua couldn't help asking, and she was also curious about the Herrscher of Sentience with the same appearance in front of her.
The Herrscher of Sentience narrowed her eyes, giving Kiana a sidelong glance. Something felt…off. "Speaking of which," she said, her tone turning thoughtful, "aren't you a Herrscher too, Kiana? So, what's the big idea? Or wait…you're not the Herrscher of the Void, are you?" A spark of surprise lit up her eyes as she studied Kiana more closely.
She wanted to take a step closer, get a better look. But then she saw those retreating footsteps, and something – maybe caution, maybe a flicker of hesitation – held her back.
For now, it was better to keep her distance, not rush into things.
That old antique, This Fu Hua… ugh, she didn't even want to think about her.
Even if they're from different worlds, the Herrscher of Sentience had no desire to deal with someone who had that same face.
Was that a problem? Absolutely not!
"Wait a minute, what do you mean I'm not the Herrscher of the Void?" Kiana scratched her head, a confused frown wrinkling her face as she stared at the Herrscher of Sentience.
Okay, if every character suddenly showing up is part of the game's story… that's weird enough. But this? This felt like the main plotline kicking in, and that threw her off completely. There was a nagging sense of unreality to it all.
Logically, after ruling out every other crazy possibility, there was just one way this situation made sense. This had to be connected to that world.
"Ahem, how about we start with an introduction, Herrscher of Sentience?" Luo Mo cleared his throat, breaking into the tense silence.
His voice was gentle, but there was a hint of firmness there, a subtle reminder to stay on track.
"Alright, alright, since I'm in this weird alternate world, I guess I'll play along. For the sake of…what's her name…Cheng Lixue, I'll give you the grand introduction." The Herrscher of Sentience gave Cheng Lixue a surprised once-over.
Her memory insisted this girl should be dead, but hey, different world, different Story, right?
"Ahem!" She cleared her throat dramatically.
"As you can see, I'm the Herrscher of Sentience. The real deal, no imitations here. I know, I know, it's a lot to handle. But just so we're clear, I'm not with the Honkai, not some mindless puppet –-- "
"I am the complete Red Kite, the complete Fu Hua, and the complete me! "
She gasping out her chest, chin held high, a mischievous smile spreading across her face.
"Yeah, you're Squad Leader." Kiana nodded, trying to wrap her head around this. She never expected the Herrscher part of Fu Hua to split off like this.
This whole situation was beyond weird.
"Okay, but wouldn't that mean there's like…two of her running around?" Kiana couldn't help but voice the nagging question.
"See, it's not that hard to figure out! I'm Fu Hua from a different world. Who knows if it's the one from that video or not. And she," the Herrscher of Sentience gestured towards the other Fu Hua with a smirk, "she's the old antique version from this world." There was a touch of smugness in her voice, like she enjoyed explaining things to these confused folks.
"So, Kiana, I figure we can skip the whole fight thing. How about we play games instead? Turns out, I'm a pretty big fan of Honkai Impact 3rd myself." The Herrscher of Sentience flashed a mischievous smile.
True, in her world Kiana was the enemy, but here? Here they could start fresh, have some fun.
Kiana, however, didn't seem impressed. If anything, her eyes narrowed, her guard going up even higher. Hang on, what was this? The Herrscher read her mind or something? Why was she spilling all her plans out loud?
"Oh, as you can see, it is inevitable for a Herrscher of Sentence to have some privileges (Read this as I read your mind). Moreover, because I am surrounded by so many of you Herrschers, it is inevitable for me to be on guard first. Don't worry about it. "
She held her chin high, gesturing casually towards the four Herrschers facing her. There was something almost cocky about her stance, not a hint of fear despite being outnumbered.
"Also, let me tell you again, I'm not afraid. Even with that forerunner, Kevin, I can still give him a 50-50 fight!"
"Hey, wait a second – what do you think you're doing? Why are you filming this?" The Herrscher of Sentience felt a jolt of annoyance. She turned to see that guy behind her had recorded her whole boastful speech, complete with her tough-girl poses.
She lunged for the camera, but Luo Mo was too quick, flipping it around and making it vanish into…what was that, system space?
That camera is also a piece of junk extracted from the system, and the system shipments have been getting weirder and weirder recently, that what she read from this guy mind.
"Listen, the person who said that? A total genius, that's what they are! I mean, I couldn't just let those words fade away, right? Had to read it again, share it with everyone I know..." Luo Mo threw out the praise with a nervous laugh.
His main goal was to keep this recording safe, and a little flattery never hurt.
For the Herrscher of Sentience, Otto's beating just now was a famous scene, but if she was 50-50 with Kevin, wouldn't it be another famous scene?
"Well, duh, of course, it's true! Not like I'd make stuff up." The Herrscher of Sentience puffed out her chest, nodding confidently. No sense in being humble about it.
But there was something off.
The Herrscher of Sentience scanned the faces in front of her. This guy, Luo Mo, was the easiest to read on the surface, but deeper down...nothing.
It was like a blank wall, which was completely bizarre.
But hey, no point in dwelling on what you can't understand, right? That's what the old antique would do, worrying herself to death.
"By the way, is there any conflict between the two of us? Why are you ignoring me?" Fu Hua sighed helplessly.
Honestly, this Herrscher of Sentience didn't seem so bad. Sure, she was a little hot-headed sometimes, but at least she talked to people, like Luo Mo.
Well, talked to everyone except her.
"conflict? No, no, you just stole my Herrscher power and used it to pay off the debt. I have decided to ignore you for several months. Unexpectedly, I saw you again as soon as I showed up. What an unlucky thing!" when Herrscher of Sentience hear this, she glanced at Fu Hua with a look of anger.
Fu Hua's eyes became more and more helpless. Why did she always end up taking the blame for things she didn't even do? She opened her mouth to protest, then shut it again. What was the point?
"Hmph." With a dismissive snort, the Herrscher of Sentience turned away, clearly done with this conversation.
"Oh, Kiana, you're so sweet, but sometimes you can't see what's right in front of you." The Herrscher of Sentience flashed a knowing smirk.
"I was surprised too! I think She won't lie because she is honest person in my memory. Alas, but in reality he talks like a snake... she doesn't treat people well when she meets them."
The Herrscher of Sentience sighed twice in one sentence, looking like she regretted what she had done before.
Suddenly, every eye in the room landed on Fu Hua.
Fu Hua wanted to scream, "I didn't do it!" but she knew it would be absolutely useless.
"Alright, Senti, let's just take a deep breath here. Settle down, maybe try to wrap your head around this new world. Things might be a tad different than you're used to." Luo Mo scratched his cheek, trying to sound calm, but there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Hey, uh, sorry, is it Senti? As in your name?" He quickly followed up, suddenly realizing he might've been a bit too casual.
The Herrscher of Sentience narrowed her eyes at Luo Mo, a look of pure indignation crossing her face. Since when did mere guy dare address her so informally?
Okay, this was weird. Even digging as deep as she could, trying to get a clear read on this guy's mind was like staring at a muddled mess. Some huge jumble of thoughts in there, impossible to untangle.
However, she is the Herrscher of Sentience; how could she lose to the other party?
Little Miss Sentience thought she'd found something fun, huh? Well, she was about to get a surprise.
Time for a secret competition...
"Honestly, just feels like the right thing to do," she muttered, loud enough for him to hear.
"Hmph, compete with me?" The Herrscher of Sentience scoffed, then slyly activated her core. First, build up her inner consciousness, just a little...then unleash a flood of random thoughts. Sure, she maybe didn't hold grudges in the traditional sense, but a little payback never hurt...
"The Herrscher of Sentience has altered your consciousness, and now you want to shout, 'Long live the Herrscher of Sentience!' "
"Miss Herrscher of Sentience... the cutest in the world!"
The words practically burst out of Luo Mo's mouth before he could stop them.
He clapped a hand over his face, groaning. Of all things to say! Some weird force just barged into his head, twisting his sentence into something completely embarrassing.
Worst of all, what if principal actually heard him?
The silence that followed felt heavy, like the world was holding its breath.
The Herrscher of Sentience's eyebrows shot up so high they nearly disappeared into her hair. Her grand gesture froze mid-air, leaving her looking a bit…well, ridiculous. Even the smugness on her face seemed to crack for a second.
It's a pity that Theresa(principal: I'm the cutest in the world!) is not there; otherwise, it will be a fatal blow!
The Herrscher of Sentience narrowed her eyes, trying to make sense of the scene in front of her.
"Ugh…huh?"
"That's not what I meant at all!" She rubbed her temples, a flicker of annoyance crossing her face. What on earth was going on?
The whole idea of "cuteness" wasn't her thing, not in the slightest.
"No, no, no! What you should be saying is 'Thank you, Miss Herrscher of Sentience, the wise, the mighty, the all-knowing, and all-powerful!' " The Herrscher of Sentience repeated her words, trying to add weight to them.
"Alright, alright. All hail the great Herrscher of Sentience." Luo Mo sounded solemn, but there was a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Forget it. Seems like my Power powers are useless against you." The Herrscher of Sentience sighed dramatically.
She waved her hand, and a chair appeared on the scene out of thin air.
She sat directly on it, crossed her legs, and her white and tender thighs.
"Alright then, let's get this over with. Time to spill the beans on our whole history."
"Honestly, though," Fu Hua continued, her voice calm despite the jab, "I really want to understand what went on between us."
"Oh, and don't even get me started on Cheng Lixue. How is she still alive? And couldn't you have decked Otto a few times, just for good measure?" The Herrscher of Sentience glared, the frustration clear on her face.
"Aren't the three characters hidden in the story just now, Cheng Lixue? If you ask me, why do you care about those seven fools? Lixue is not like them."
"And you, don't make random guesses about our relationship; it's getting more and more outrageous." The Herrscher of Sentience gave Luo Mo a roll of the eyes.
What a clone, what a sister, what a mother and daughter!
Look at this! Is this ridiculous?
when he heard this Luo Mo smiled awkwardly. It was just a thought that flashed through his mind, and he couldn't control it.
Aside from that, don't always peek into other people's thoughts!
"Look, maybe instead of fighting, we could actually talk this out? Seems like there are some serious misunderstandings between us." Fu Hua took a deep breath, trying to sound reasonable despite the absurdity of the situation.
"Fight you? Ha! You're almost as funny as…" The Herrscher of Sentience cut her off, a burst of harsh laughter escaping her.
"No, Old Antique. Your body is too healthy now, isn't it?" she observed Fu Hua's condition with some suspicion.
Why did she feel that this Old Antique was better than at her peak? If her Old Antique also recovered, she might not be able to defeat her. (Gray snake: Flame-Chaser is our priority)
"Okay, so, there are a few changes around here. Big one – no Otto." Luo Mo was practically sweating bullets trying to act as the peacemaker.
Who knew coaxing a powerful Herrscher would be on his job description today?
"Honestly, though, the world stuff sounds way more interesting. We can always settle scores with the Old Antique later, right? I'm not scared of you or anything!" The Herrscher of Sentience puffed out her chest, but there was a spark of curiosity in her eyes.
Despite how much she hated the guy, even she had to admit Otto left a huge mark on everything. Now, she was itching to know how this world turned out without his meddling.
---
Alright, let's cut away from Little Senti tearing through Schicksal HQ for now. That can wait.
Meanwhile, desperate to find a way to control the Herrscher power raging inside her, Kiana and Bronya had embarked on a quest of their own…a quest that led them to Taixu Mountain, searching for a Secret treasure left by Fu Hua.
Legend spoke of the Taixu Sword God, a master technique of Honkai Energy manipulation. If they could just find whatever secret they left behind…
But as they approached the ancient mountain, the air crackled with a different kind of energy. The crumbling stone gates, once grand, now seemed…ominous. And with every step, the Honkai energy grew thicker, almost suffocating.
--- Then there was the surprise appearance of Lin Zhaoyu, the leader of those seven disciples from ages ago.
Stepping out of legend and into the present, it was she who really opened Kiana's eyes to Fu Hua's story.
The ups and downs, the unimaginable losses...
Only then will they realize that even the famous and omnipotent Red kite Immortal of Taixu was just a young, fledgling little girl in the beginning.
Time and fate work in strange ways, taking someone so ordinary and shaping them into something extraordinary.
---
"Hah! Secret treasure? Please. The only thing immortal around here is probably those nasty pickles," The Herrscher of Sentience scoffed, a sneer twisting her lips. "That old antique probably lived off them for centuries and they never go old."
The Herrscher of Sentience seems to be quite angry today. In that world, she was deceived and almost sealed, causing her young heart to be devastated, but she couldn't find anyone to vent her anger on.
Damn, hate, hate! If I had known I was leaving earlier, I would have given Old Antique a good beating before running away.
"I remember that last time Fu Hua went to Taixu Mountain and came back with a bottle of spring immortality, and Book of Fuxi." Luo Mo added softly,
"That's true; it's true. You too, Immortal, are you bringing back a few antiques? What can you bring to keep you young woman (aka rich)?"
When he mentioned the Book of Fuxi, she was filled with complaints, and her tone was full of incomprehension.
"Honestly, even a broken table leg from that place would probably be more valuable than those nasty pickles of hers! Does she put them on display just to remind everyone to work harder for money or something?"
"Oh, there aren't even pickles in that place, just some empty bottles; it's completely clean. " Fu Hua added (Maybe someone eat it, the last supply was 500 years ago) Fu Hua thought
"Why did Lin Zhaoyu appear on Taixu Mountain?" Fu Hua asked, eager to shift the conversation away from pickles and back to something resembling normal.
for her today. She was constantly confronted by new guys. She was helpless and couldn't figure out the current situation.
When you think back to what Luo Mo said about taking care of children (Herrscher of Sentience) at the beginning, it has similar meanings.
"Well..." Luo Mo glanced nervously at the Herrscher of Sentience. She didn't even bother to meet his eyes, pointedly looking away with a huff.
"It's a mirage. A special, one-of-a-kind Taixu Mountain super mirage!" Luo Mo declared, trying his best to sound convincing.
But his eyes held a flicker of doubt, like even he wasn't quite buying it.
"A what now?" Fu Hua tilted her head, confusion written all over her face. Had she been living under a rock all those years on Taixu Mountain?
The Herrscher of Sentience burst into laughter. "Oh, this is rich! We should totally become best friends, you and I…just ditch those old names and pick some new ones!" She doubled over, practically slapping the chair to make sure everyone knew she thought this was hilarious.
Even Bronya, Mei, and others had a smile on their lips. This argument for persuasion was simply too good.
---
Lin Zhaoyu's request was simple yet profound: help find the 'feathers' – fragments of Fu Hua's memories. They held not only her own story but potentially the key to the lost teachings of the Taixu Sword God.
The next thing they knew, they were stepping into one of those fragments, a sliver of time so vast it stretched across two eras, laying bare everything Fu Hua had lived through.
In that long-gone world, her younger self had dreams far simpler than saving humanity. All she wanted was to take over her father's martial arts school, to carry on his legacy...
Back then, the thought of becoming a hero or an immortal? Forget about it. Leaving home just to go to school felt like venturing into the unknown.
Her dad, though, he had big dreams for her. Be a businesswoman, a politician…anything but staying in their small town, running that martial arts school, leave this old tradition that was abandoned after firearms became popular.
All He wanted her to see the wider world.
But...was that what she wanted?
The rain fell heavy that night as she walked alone, the future a swirling storm cloud in her mind. Should she follow her safe path, or was there something braver waiting out there?
[If Fu Hua represents Red Kite, will Immortal Red Kite have the same troubles as us?]
[Oh, leave here, go there, do this job, or continue to stay where you are; every choice is very difficult; it is ordinary in the world, but for a person, it is a huge thing.]
