The girl cried helplessly, but her tear ducts were so dry that she could not shed any tears. Only her mournful sobs echoed in the cold prison cell.
Why do I have to go through all this?
Why are those people so cold-hearted?
This world is truly painful.
The girl curled up on the cold floor, making her last wish.
'My lord, if there truly are gods in this world, please save me.'
The voice of her inner prayer fell like the sound of sweet dew dripping into the world. In her hazy consciousness, the purple-haired girl only felt a warm breeze. She opened her eyes blankly and saw not a cold prison, but a sunny garden with soft green grass.
She saw a bright and handsome figure with a warm and gentle smile. The sunlight fell on him, casting a dazzling shadow.
"Are you... a deity?"
Before the deity could answer, a cheerful and familiar voice reached their ears.
"It's Xiaolin!"
At this moment, the purple-haired girl realized that there were many familiar figures around the god, some playing around and others sticking to the god's side.
Those were all her companions, even the friends who had participated in the experiment and never returned, all waving to her with delight.
She ran forward excitedly, but when she saw her 'disappeared' companions waiting for her, she remembered something, stopped halfway, and couldn't help but take two steps back, a look of fear on her little face.
She couldn't help but recall the scene her mother had once told her about being led across the River Styx.
However, looking at the warm and joyful scene before her, and seeing her friends again, her gaze turned to the gentle deity.
The girl still resolutely took a step forward.
Even if what awaits her is the River Styx, and she is taken away by a gentle, god-like ghost, it would still be much warmer than where she lived before.
"Don't worry, little one, I'm not a vengeful ghost." Qi Shi noticed her nervousness and chuckled to reassure her.
"At least that's how some people see it," he added to himself.
"I don't want to leave. There's nothing left for me in that world. I want to stay with the gods."
Like a dream, I played with my friends, stayed close to the gods and listened to them read and tell fairy tales, experiencing a blissful time that I had never experienced before.
The purple-haired girl curled up in Qi Shi's arms, holding on tightly and unwilling to let go.
“But in reality, Xiaolin has companions waiting for her. Are you going to abandon them?” Qi Shi said softly.
"Now is not the time to 'leave'. Let's go back to the real world."
"There's no need to be anxious. This place is always open to you." Qi Shi said gently, stroking the girl's soft, long hair.
"Lin, I won't persuade you to let go of your hatred. You can hate, but remember why you are angry and why you are fighting."
As he spoke, Qi Shi pointed to the sky.
“Look, your ‘god’ has come.”
Outside, the sky suddenly darkened, with ominous clouds rolling in, like the mournful cry before the world's barrier shattered. Unlike Qi Shi's gentleness, this 'god's' methods were far from mild.
Chapter 127 Herrscher of the Void
"Oh, just let her in~ A cute girl like me would never do anything bad~"
In the sealed-off area, Alicia pitifully begged the blocking team to let her pass, but no matter how much she pleaded, it was to no avail. When it came to their livelihood and military responsibilities, even a beautiful girl would not receive any special treatment.
In the end, Alicia, who had no choice but to leave, spoke with a helpless expression.
"Sigh, it seems we have to think of another way."
Thinking about it, the fairy lady rolled her eyes and soon revealed a sly smile.
"So, you want to borrow my identity badge with just a few words."
Inside the research institute, the green-haired, mature beauty looked at the suspicious pink-haired girl in front of her, who was wearing a mask and sunglasses, and spoke expressionlessly.
"Of course, after all, we are all super beautiful girls with beautiful hearts."
However, despite the cold face, Alicia spoke very enthusiastically, offering very Alicia-like reasons. Her radiant smile and unashamed expression of her inner thoughts made her a true goddess of the company.
"Besides, you don't need that emblem for the time being, so you might as well give it to me. Maybe I can bring about a miracle."
"Hey, don't you think their eyes are really sincere?"
Ultimately, after some persuasion from Alicia, she successfully obtained the identity badge. Of course, the main reason was that she aroused Mebius's interest, and at the same time, he was in a good mood.
"Heh~ Here you go, you clever little thing. I'd like to see what 'surprise' you can give me."
Möbius gave a smile that was both intriguing and dangerous, enough to make an intern cry on the spot. People in the scientific research industry know that if Dr. Möbius takes an interest in you, you'd better really do something to reciprocate her interest.
However, Alicia showed no sign of backing down and assured them with a confident smile.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down~"
She placed two fingers on her forehead in a gesture, then the pink-haired girl left quickly and nimbly. Throughout the entire ordeal, this intruder who had suddenly appeared in the laboratory did not trigger any alarms.
Watching the other person's departing figure, Möbius turned his gaze back to his experiments, paying little attention to Alicia's matter. He had only agreed because he was in a good mood and interested.
As for the reason for being in a good mood...
Her recent scientific application was approved.
Surprisingly, those greedy old men from various countries didn't deliberately make things difficult for her; they just watched their own interests suffer and agreed to let her take the precious Lawyer Core.
Möbius was not an ignorant little girl; she knew all too well how selfish and self-serving those high-ranking officials of various countries who claimed to be acting in the name of all humanity were.
Furthermore, not only did they agree to her request to research the Herrscher core, but they also announced the establishment of an organization dedicated to dealing with Honkai disasters. Divided into combat and research departments, it would focus solely on Honkai-related events, and she was invited to become the chief scientist of the research department.
This result is so good that it's hard to believe at first glance.
"Could it be that a ghost has actually exerted its power?"
Möbius chuckled and shook his head, finding his idea somewhat ridiculous, and continued to bury himself in his experiments.
"Okay! Let me in now."
"This is... Dr. Möbius's insignia?"
“That’s right, I am the famous Dr. Möbius… a special agent he invited.”
When questioned, Alicia spoke with her hands on her hips, exuding an air of unreliability. The defenders were skeptical, but after checking her verified identity documents, they ultimately decided to let her through. Perhaps this is just a quirk that special individuals might have.
"Hehe~ The hardest part is done~?"
"We've successfully crossed the blockade and entered the experimental area," Ellie said confidently and cheerfully.
Now it's time for Miss Fairy to show her skills and save the world!
The pink light in her hand gathered and transformed into a longbow that looked like it was made of crystal. She ran quickly in the direction her senses guided her.
However, at that moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky, not a thunderclap, but a deafening roar as if the sky had collapsed and fallen.
The surrounding staff and soldiers pointed to the sky in panic and shock.
Alicia's pupils contracted as she looked over. The Honkai had descended without warning. The sky above the research base was now filled with dark energy, as if a barrier had shattered, and Honkai energy was invading this world through the holes in the imaginary numbers.
The dense Honkai energy was incredibly oppressive, making it difficult to breathe. It had accumulated to a terrifying level, and once it crashed down, it was foreseeable that the surrounding cities would be turned into a living hell.
All of this happened too fast. From the accumulation to the arrival of the Great Collapse, it was only a moment. The Honkai energy, so dense that it turned black, suddenly fell down.
Alicia quickly tried to draw her bow and arrow, using the crystal barrier to protect everything around her.
However, the great collapse did not occur. Instead, the dark purple energy fell like a giant spiral spear, crashing vertically into the research institute's testing area and creating violent energy ripples.
As if completely absorbed, the massive amount of Honkai energy, enough to cause a major collapse, was entirely absorbed into it.
The destructive energy vanished, and the world seemed to fall silent for a moment.
But before anyone present could react...
The next moment, the earth trembled violently and split open, from which a light, as soft as a pure veil, emerged. The light was incredibly sharp, cutting through armored vehicles, the base's alloys, and anything that stood in its way as easily as tofu. Explosions continued to rise, plunging the entire experimental base into chaotic screams and panic.
Pure white wings unfolded from the earth, stretching for more than ten kilometers, making everything else seem insignificant in comparison.
The master of the Light Feather emerged from it, with a flawless face, long purple hair flowing like a waterfall, and a tall and beautiful figure. With an oppressive aura of life level, the Herrscher of the Void stood in the sky, revealing herself to the world for the first time.
As she appeared, beams of light appeared in the sky, illuminating the night as if it were daytime. However, these were not lights, but rather imaginary gates filled with terrifying energy, illuminating the entire sky.
Looking at the research institute engulfed in fire and chaos from the explosion, the Herrscher of the Void's calm golden eyes turned to Alicia.
Alicia met his gaze and couldn't help but swallow.
Looking at his opponent, who exuded godlike power and surrounded by dangerous light, he then glanced at the lone longbow in his hand.
She suddenly had the illusion that she was going to be beaten to death.
Chapter 128 Europe: The Advantage Lies With Me
"Oh dear, they didn't mean any harm."
"Look, we're both pretty girls, we're bound to have a lot in common, right?"
The pink-haired girl quickly hid the bow behind her back and hurriedly tried to change the subject with an awkward smile, but her slender waist could not hide the length of the bow.
The Herrscher of the Void remained expressionless, simply raising her hand slowly towards her.
"Ahhhh!"
Just moments ago, Alicia was confident that she would destroy the Herrscher and save the world. Now, she was running for her life. The fairy lady's carefully prepared clothes were covered with many wounds, her hair was disheveled, and her fleeing figure looked extremely disheveled.
"I know I was wrong! Can you give me a chance to have afternoon tea together? I'll definitely apologize properly!"
The Herrscher of the Void attacked again with an expressionless face. Wing-like light membranes slashed across from all directions at the same time. Alicia hurriedly dodged, and the next moment the building beneath her feet was cut into several flat pieces.
However, she also suffered several more wounds. The pink-haired girl was run around by the runner, constantly jumping and dodging between the buildings in the base. She had no chance to fight back, and the buildings along the way were probably all demolished into ruins by the Herrscher of the Void.
"You should calm down now. You've completely destroyed her most important quality—her girlish demeanor. You'll lose fans!"
Alicia looked delicate and aggrieved, and even though she was covered in dust, she still shone with the radiance of a young girl.
The Herrscher of the Void, guided by Xiaolin's spirit, felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
Looking at this guy, she felt inexplicably annoyed, as if she had encountered a traitor, or as if they were destined to be incompatible. In short, she was extremely angry.
Her attacks suddenly became even more ferocious, and although Alicia was being chased around in a very messy manner, she was leading the Herrscher of the Void away from the experimental base and towards the suburbs, so that there would be less destruction and casualties in the battle.
