——Perhaps, it was precisely because of seeing the beautiful things that this "Sirin" possessed that the will of the Herrscher of the Void in Kiana's body suddenly burst out with such strong power that she was able to break free from the shackles that were originally completely inescapable.
The power of emotions is strong.
Kiana's awareness of protecting all that is beautiful, the belief inherited from the Kaslana clan, and her stubbornness in not wanting Jizi's sacrifice to go to waste, indeed allowed her, with the help of Fu Hua, to successfully suppress the once-awakened Herrscher of the Void back into the depths of her consciousness.
But at the same time, the saying "the power of emotions is strong" does not only apply to Kiana Kaslana.
Cracks spread across Fu Hua's translucent body at an extremely fast speed, and the red and black sleeves and wrist armor also broke into pieces and dissipated into the air, revealing her snow-white arms. She injected her only remaining strength into her hands holding the Sub-Sky Spear, and the strong wind of the wrestling spread further.
The confrontation that lasted only a moment seemed to last a thousand years. Suddenly, the silver-haired girl's eyelids twitched, and the pure blue color began to reappear in her pupils.
A hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in her eyes. It was clear that the struggle between the two sides was still evenly matched. However, the black and white Sub-Sky Spear suddenly disappeared without any warning.
Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, then, without hesitation, she turned her palm into a fist and struck directly at the silver-haired girl's wide-open chest.
Inch strength opens the sky.
Without dodging, defending, or even using the power of space to move, the silver-haired girl took the blow with her body.
"—got you."
——The corner of his mouth tilted into a smug arc.
Fu Hua's pupils shrank slightly.
The white breastplate that appeared out of nowhere absorbed most of the force from her fist.
The prototype fourth generation God Killer Armor, White Knight Moonlight, is deployed.
"You don't think that I would be unprepared for this kind of attack that I have endured more than once."
The silver-haired girl's mouth tilted.
"Compared to the last time three years ago, the pressure this time is much weaker—"
"It's so weak that even the basic defensive properties of this armor can't be broken!!"
The golden translucent wings spread out in all directions, with huge light and heat condensed at the tips of the wings.
"Since you want to protect that bastard who betrayed God, then go to hell with her!!!"
Automatic positioning gamma ray attack system for military use is activated!
“Light. Wings. Spread.!!!”
Bright light surged out from the tips of dozens of slender wings behind the silver-haired girl. The traces of light almost filled the not-so-spacious coffee tube. Countless rays of light poured down on everyone below the silver-haired girl like a rainstorm.
Fu Hua's face darkened slightly.
Although with her ability, she would not die even if she took a direct hit from the unfolded light wings, but now she could not rely on her fists to intercept all of these gamma rays that automatically searched for the enemy.
unless……
Just as she took a deep breath and prepared to burn her remaining consciousness to forcibly unleash the Great Void Sword Qi—
"Stop."
There are no energy fluctuations.
There were no big signs.
Accompanied by a command that sounded ordinary and without any emotion, the light that almost filled every inch of the cafe suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared in the beginning.
"Varied--?!"
The silver-haired girl's gaze froze.
At the same time, the armor of the White Knight Moonlight also dissipated. After losing the support of the floating force, the silver-haired girl fell to the ground without any resistance.
"What did you do?! Why! Why did the power God gave me suddenly——!"
Unspeakable fear and anger exploded in her chest. She tried desperately to call upon the power of the Herrscher's Core, but found that none of the powers that she had once been able to wield could respond to her.
It felt like a person with healthy limbs and flexible fingers had his arms chopped off without any psychological preparation.
Although her power was merely taken away, the silver-haired girl inexplicably felt a huge sense of emptiness, as if her entire body had suddenly disappeared.
"You acted recklessly in someone else's coffee shop and even asked the manager what he did to you." The manager sighed and shook his head. "I was surprised enough to encounter the same thing twice in one day. And the culprit was the same person. Should I say that we are destined to be together, or should I say that you are such a naughty kid with a short memory..."
"you--!!"
"Shut up." The store manager looked at the silver-haired girl coldly. "The power that guy gave you can be easily taken away by me. Can't you see it at this point?"
"In terms of status and status, I am on an equal footing with the so-called 'God' you mentioned. Your half-baked power of the void is nothing in my eyes."
"Hmph, it's better to say that you have already met my kind once and know what kind of existence we 'gods' are. How dare you, a lowly envoy of God, act recklessly under the jurisdiction of other 'gods'?"
"And they even attempted to attack my messenger..."
"Why, are you tired of living?"
Chapter 39: Even if you are schizophrenic, you must take responsibility
Quiet, terrifyingly quiet.
After those extremely oppressive words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire coffee shop suddenly fell into deathly silence.
The store manager sat sideways on the chair, his legs crossed, with a cold expression. His figure was like a lonely and steep mountain, and his whole body exuded an aura of contempt for everything, as if he were a god.
An overwhelming force lingered around the store manager, as if announcing the arrival of the end.
Feeling the extraordinary power of the end, Fu Hua's pupils suddenly contracted.
——She was frightened.
The fact that his power was being toyed with and seized at will by the other party made the Herrscher of the Void speechless, and he looked at the manager in astonishment.
——She was also frightened.
Even Kiana, who was struggling to gain control of her body with the Herrscher of the Sky, was frightened.
Only the store clerks who knew the manager well couldn't help but look at him with strange eyes.
They all looked at the manager's neck at the same time - although the manager had immediately used his power to change the refraction of light in the air on his face, making the area above his neck look normal, they knew the manager very well and were able to accurately detect the extremely abrupt red color on the skin below his collar.
Ahh ...
At this moment, the store manager who looked as majestic as a god roared like a groundhog in his heart. He stared at the stunned Herrscher of the Void, stiffened his neck, and pulled a very stiff sneer at the corner of his mouth. Then he said in a pretentiously profound tone: "You are not qualified to talk to me. Let your 'God' come out."
“……” The Herrscher of the Void gritted her teeth, lowered her head and said nothing.
Xilin suddenly stood up and leaned back on the table. She shook her hair lightly and narrowed her golden eyes slightly. Her eyes were filled with teasing mixed with anger: "What? Where is your 'God'? Why don't you come out and confront my ship... and my 'God'?"
In fact, she had been holding back a lot of anger for a long time, but her kind nature made it difficult for her to attack someone who had already lost the ability to resist.
I have to admit that in terms of fighting ability alone, Xilin doesn't think she can easily defeat this guy.
However, she had already borrowed strength from the store manager more than once and received support from the captain several times, and she was already accustomed to having someone by her side.
Therefore, even though she was not as strong as the other party, Xilin did not feel that uncomfortable.
If your own strength is not enough, borrow from the captain.
Anyway, whenever he encountered a problem that was difficult to solve by his own strength, no matter how many times, the captain would appear by his side at the first moment.
Correspondingly, after the captain became the store manager and it became difficult for him to establish normal interpersonal relationships with people from other worlds, she was willing to be his "store clerk" and accompany him forever for the rest of his life.
But no matter what, this guy had just tried to kill her a few seconds ago. If she couldn't get back at all, Xilin really couldn't swallow this humiliation.
So, Xilin stood in front of the Herrscher of the Sky, and based on the reasonable situation she inferred from the previous conversation between this guy and the store manager, she continued their conversation: "Your ability has been taken away by my 'God'. You don't even show up when your own messenger encounters such a difficult situation? You are really a 'God' who is so incompetent that I am speechless."
“…Shut up! You bastard who kowtows to bastards!” The Herrscher of the Void glared fiercely at Xilin, who had a teasing face, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Watch your mouth." Xilin narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "It's fine if you scold me, but what qualifications do you have to scold my 'God'? Just because your messenger doesn't dare to come out when he encounters danger, you're a coward?"
"Also, who are you? Have I ever offended you? You just come up and kill others, and curse them so harshly. Is there something wrong with your brain? Huh?!"
“Heh.” The Herrscher of the Void sneered. Knowing that it was meaningless to continue communicating, she closed her eyes and said grimly, “You have escaped this time. Don’t think that you are safe just because someone is protecting you. I don’t believe that he can protect you for a while, but can he protect you for a lifetime?”
"Of course, do you think my 'God' is as incompetent and cowardly as your 'God'?" Xilin sneered, "He is the 'God' who rushes to my side whenever I'm in danger. After knowing him, I've never encountered even one danger in my life, nor have I felt even the slightest pain."
"Why, your 'God' can't do it?"
"Then you still regard that so-called 'God' as your guiding principle? And you even said that I am a lowly person who kowtows to bastards. I think you are the fool who flatters others without knowing it..."
Halfway through her speech, Xilin suddenly got stuck.
She turned her gaze towards the store manager: "How did you say those two words? Stupid... stupid what?"
"...You'd better stop talking. Some people can't stand that word." The store manager glanced at the Herrscher of the Void and said darkly, "In short, it's just stupid."
“You—you—you two…!” The Herrscher of the Void suddenly raised his head.
Her eyes were almost on fire, but she couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal. In the end, she could only curse dryly: "You two dogs! Just wait! I will never let you go in this life!!!"
After she finished speaking, amidst a burst of sobs, the gold in her eyes suddenly faded away at an incredible speed, and the azure blue color full of confusion and bewilderment reappeared.
Xilin was silent for a moment: "...Did she cry just now?"
"Cry if you want to. It's not us who provoked her." The manager shrugged.
So Xilin was relieved: "That's true. Who told her to attack me for no reason?"
"But why do this guy's eyes keep changing? Manager, look, they've turned blue again." Xilin glanced at Kiana, who had a dull face, suspiciously. "Although he looks a little stupid, he's much more pleasing to the eye than before."
"After all, he is schizophrenic. Actually, what you just scolded him was correct. This guy has some problems with his brain now." said the store manager.
Kiana, who was labeled as having "brain problems", scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed.
It’s great that the Herrscher of the Void can be controlled… but why is it that I feel so frustrated that I’m being scolded but can’t refute it on some level?
"Ah?" Xilin's eyes suddenly became awkward. She scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly, "Then I was quarreling with a patient, wasn't it?"
So can you please stop repeating that I am a patient? Although I know this is the truth, Kiana thought.
"Why do you feel guilty? You must have forgotten that this guy just wanted to kill you." The store manager said darkly, "According to the laws of some places, if I hadn't been by your side, you might have died in vain, and that so-called mentally ill person doesn't even have to bear criminal responsibility."
"...Where is the law so unreasonable?" Xilin was dumbfounded.
Good question, I feel weird too, Kiana thought.
"It's not from my store anyway." The store manager narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze towards Kiana's face, who was still a little dazed. "Destroying the property in the store, insulting and trying to kill our customers and employees... Madam, you should be prepared to pay for the damages."
So Kiana remained silent.
She felt her pockets. Although she didn't find a single coin, if she had to pay for the above losses -
After pondering for a moment, Kiana asked in self-abandonment:
"Can you pay it with your body?"
Chapter 40 Don’t make promises too quickly, or it will be too late to regret it
Different from her self-destructive attitude, Kiana's mood is actually much more lively than it appears.
Since the day when Otto fully awakened the will of the Herrscher of the Sky, Kiana has spent more than one hundred and twenty days and nights on the run.
During the time when she just woke up, she didn't even dare to fall asleep normally, because no one could guarantee that the Herrscher of the Void would not quietly take away her body after her consciousness fell asleep.
Even though she managed to suppress the will of the Herrscher of the Void with the help of Fu Hua, allowing her to control the powers that originally belonged to him to a certain extent, using the power of the Herrscher also meant that her body could not escape the erosion and transformation from the Honkai.
Whenever she used the power of Honkai to fight, the burning pain and numbness from her chest would little by little replace the blood and nerve signals flowing in her blood vessels, spreading uncontrollably throughout her body.
Fortunately, except for the initial period, even if her body was eroded by the Honkai energy, Kiana didn't feel any pain at all except for a slight sense of disharmony.
It’s not because the body is not hurt, but because after the body is hurt, the paralyzed mind is unable to transmit the pain to the brain center.
Of course, precisely because of these difficulties that ordinary people could hardly imagine, Kiana's spirit has been tempered to be tough and calm enough.
Therefore, she can regain her rationality as quickly as possible after encountering something strange enough.
The first thing she did when she regained her rationality was to check her physical condition as quickly as possible.
There was a slight tingling sensation all over her body - this was the injury Kiana suffered when she annihilated the Honkai beasts during her four months of escape. But being able to feel pain meant that all five senses in her body were gradually recovering.
So she immediately understood that although after the power was completely taken away, both the Herrscher of the Void and she had lost the means to use the power, but what the store manager took away was not just the power, but at the same time, he also forcibly stopped the erosion and influence of the Herrscher core on her body.
As far as Kiana knew, even the power of restraint could not do this.
Through the analysis of her physical condition and what she saw after entering the store, Kiana's rapid thinking allowed her to immediately guess the general information about this cafe.
The handsome young store manager, and "Aunt" who is actually the store manager's lover. Although the other beautiful store employees did not do anything intimate with the store manager after Kiana walked into this cafe, judging from the words of "Sirin" who threatened to give the rest of her life to the other party, as long as they become the employees of this cafe... or in other words, after being accepted by the store manager in some way, these employees will become "his people."
