Chương 214: Chapter 21: Enjoying a Show, Aren't We?

"...You're referring to Hua as Fu Hua, right?"

"Yeah."

Eden set down her wine glass, observing the slightly disoriented Luo Lin before turning to the gradually darkening-faced Senti beside her.

In comparison to this Herrscher of Sentience, she felt it would be more prudent to directly inquire about the situation concerning Hua from this child: "You mentioned her brain being damaged. Could you elaborate on what happened?"

"It's... like Fenghuang Down... seems to be the 1st Rate Power, essentially burning memories in exchange for strength. After losing her power, Hua spends her days using her refined techniques to battle Honkai..."

Eden couldn't resist interjecting: "Hold on, how did Hua lose her power?"

Luo Lin's somewhat sluggish mind turned, and she explained, "Hua was critically injured by her own disciple, nearly dying. She lost her super-regeneration ability and her SWARA shattered. Essentially, her powers were nearly depleted..."

"Hua takes disciples?!" Eden expressed surprise.

The Herrscher of Sentience beside her crossed her arms, sneering, "I believe it's because of the Book of Fuxi... If she hadn't suggested the old fossil take on disciples, this wouldn't have happened..."

"The Book of Fuxi... a fire-type auxiliary ELF, providing imprisonment and fire-type damage amplification... Wait, I'm not descending into the Abyss, the Book of Fuxi..."

Luo Lin rubbed her temples, murmuring, "But if the little ELF hadn't reminded Hua to be more sociable, she probably would have remained in the 'Kill Honkai' state forever. It's likely things would have escalated further, and she would destroy anything related to Honkai on sight."

"In that case, she would likely become a significant problem for humanity's current era research into Honkai energy. Whenever she discovers something related to Honkai, like Schicksal or Anti Entropy, researchers and organizations will be hit by MANTIS-level attacks, leaving nothing behind— I doubt humans who have just begun studying Honkai could withstand a MANTIS Soldier..."

At that time, Kallen Kaslana, wielding the Key of Binding: Oath of Judah, should have been among the world's top warriors. Yet, she was easily dealt with by the Immortal... Five hundred years ago, only a few were as strong as Kallen.

"And then humanity would discover a powerful and threatening life form right beside them..." Luo Lin spread her hands,

"You also know how human minds work. They'll either constantly think about killing Hua—completely antagonizing her, leaving humanity unable to research Honkai power—or Hua will be killed by humans at a great cost, resulting in a situation where both sides lose."

"By the time the Herrschers descend, humanity of the current era can only just type GG."

"This..."

The Herrscher of Sentience opened her mouth, finally realizing that Luo Lin's speculation might be correct.

Eden glanced around and asked, "Wait a moment, what is the Book of Fuxi? Is it an ELF?"

"The Book of Fuxi ELF! Later, due to insufficient maintenance, It ran out of power. I don't know where Hua threw it..."

Luo Lin took another sip of wine, her face even redder. She turned to the Herrscher of Sentience and asked, "Do you remember where Hua threw the Book of Fuxi? There are many talents in the Elysian Realm. It shouldn't be a problem to bring her back and repair her..."

Senti was taken aback: "Hmm... I'll think about where she threw it..."

"Oh, and the Domination's Key, can you get me one too?"

Luo Lin suddenly remembered this and asked Senti.

"Why don't you ask the old fossil for one? After all, you've been practicing Edge of Taixuan. If you ask, she'll definitely give it to you."

"Burp!" Luo Lin chuckled foolishly, "I forgot, We're quite familiar, aren't we..."

Just then, the huge teleportation gate in the middle of the reception room emitted light, and a figure appeared in the conference room—

"Elysia, what's going on?"

The pink-haired fox-eared girl seemed a bit hurried, as if she had rushed over immediately after receiving the signal.

She glanced at the familiar three people in the reception room and felt that things didn't seem as urgent as she had imagined.

Maybe it was another sudden idea from Elysia?

Sakura relaxed and casually complimented Senti, "Haven't seen you in a while, Hua... Your outfit is quite cool, did you design it yourself?"

Senti lowered her head, looking at her clothes—it was the style she had modified after the "Herrscher of Sentience" costume in the game. Sakura was the first person to compliment her on how she wore it.

Luo Lin hadn't commented on this outfit before because she felt that Senti looked fine no matter what she wore.

"I'm not Hua. I'm not that old fossil."

Senti sighed. She propped up her face with one hand, she felt like she would have to say this sentence again later.

"Not... Hua?"

"Hmm~"

The sound of the teleportation gate operating rang out again, and a person appeared in the room, looking around, and then stood there dumbfoundedly like Sakura.

The twelfth member of the Thirteen Flamechasers, the bearer of the Signet of "Vivisscitude," Hua, made her grand entrance.

"Hua... There are two of them?"

Sakura looked at Senti, then at Hua, her eyes becoming mosquito coils.

The Herrscher of Sentience stood up straight, staring with interest at the confused Hua, "Oh, isn't this the old fossil's memory replica? Her memories should be more intact, right?"

Luo Lin took advantage of the opportunity to take another sip, "It's hard to say, she probably deleted a lot of memories with Fenghuang Down... Can you believe that Hua actually has hypermnesia? That is, she remembers everything and can't forget anything, which caused Hua a lot of trouble—later, the Fire Moth gave her Fenghuang Down, which also has something to do with this. Hopefully it will help her deal with her mental state..."

This stunned Senti. "What? Even with her brain that can't remember anything, she still had such a glorious moment?"

Sakura patted Hua's arm who was somewhat confused next to her, "It seems like she's talking bad about you?"

The gray-haired MANTIS waved her hand and subconsciously said, "It must be Kalpas... No, Kalpas doesn't have this level of skill, then it must be Mobius!"

"I don't have time to joke with you, Hua."

Along with the hum of the teleportation gate, Mobius appeared in the reception room. She furrowed her brows as she looked at the Herrscher of Sentience in the distance and at the drunk Miss Pink Elf next to her.

"Don't you two feel the Herrscher of Sentience's fluctuations on the person over there?"

"We felt it, but that Herrscher of Sentience hasn't shown any hostile actions yet, and Elysia is with her having a happy conversation..."

Sakura spread her hands, looking helpless. She wasn't intending to take action.

"Do you trust that traitor Elysiaia so much?" Mobius sneered, then turned her head and shouted, "Elysia, what's the situation with the Herrscher of Sentience next to you?"

"She's the Herrscher of Sentience, the cutest Senti, and I... Burp, I'm not... I'm not Elysia, um, I'm not lying, lying is troublesome."

Luo Lin briefly returned to her original form as a black-haired Valkyrie, then changed back.

"?!"

Sakura, Hua, and Mobius looked at Luo Lin with considerable shock.

Luo Lin rubbed her temples, her eyes scanning the reception room. She felt a familiar aura...

"Miss Pink Elf, why don't you come out? Are you hiding somewhere and enjoying the show... Oh, with her personality, she would definitely do that."

"Who are you?!" Mobius questioned.

"Uh, I'm Luo Lin, the Valkyrie of Schicksal... Burp!"

She looked around and pulled out a megaphone from the system warehouse, "If you don't come out, I'm going to loop the first cry you made when you were born throughout the entire Elysian Realm? Don't ask me where I got it from, just know that the power of Honkai can do anything!"

"Wait wait wait, I'll come out, okay!"

Elysia appeared from somewhere, frantically trying to grab the megaphone from Luo Lin's hand.

The teleportation gate sounded twice more, and Kevin, with Kosma and Griseo, made a dazzling appearance... Then they saw two Huas looking at each other and two Elysias fighting over a megaphone.

"Elysia... what's going on???"

Griseo covered her mouth, excitement sparkling in her eyes,

"There are actually two sister Elysia!"

Kevin and Kosma looked at the chaotic scene in front of them.

"..."
