A gentle yet firm voice rang in the ears of the mother and daughter. They looked at the girl with dark blue hair, holding a scythe that was disproportionately large to her body, with some surprise and joy, and then hurriedly fled in another direction.
(Alright, the person has been saved, shouldn't we go now?)
A helpless and annoyed voice echoed in her heart, feeling utterly speechless at Seele's kindness and her dark side.
She only came to find the missing 'high-quality replica Bronya,' so why did she end up fighting with this big guy... Oh well, she can't do anything about Seele.
However—fighting is definitely not the solution.
As the will of the Stigmata, Black Seele could keenly sense that as she approached this behemoth, the power within Seele's body was being rapidly depleted, and... a sense of foreboding lingered in her heart.
"good...!"
She was about to agree, but a sudden jolt of fear made her hastily dodge the scorching Honkai energy ray. Seele stared warily at the massive creature before her.
(Oh no, this guy seems to have his eye on us.)
Black Seele was somewhat annoyed.
...
"My other self, did you hear anything?"
(There's no sound at all, don't be alarmed.)
"It really exists..."
"...Lin."
"This Honkai Beast seems to be talking."
Seele stared with considerable certainty at the 'artificial Vishnu' before her.
(So what? You're not planning to sit down and talk to it, are you?)
"boom--!"
(Look, it doesn't seem like it can communicate at all.)
(If I were in charge, you wouldn't be able to handle it!)
Seeing Seele frantically dodging, Black Seele felt anxious. Although she had a bad feeling, she still chose to grit her teeth and do it for Seele's sake.
The latter, feeling powerless, nodded quietly.
"Alright... then be careful, my other self." Having relinquished control of her body, the girl's eyes shifted from blue to red as if stained with ink, and that softness instantly transformed into a mad, beautiful excitement and cruelty.
After entering the Black Seele Armor state, Seele's movements and strength were greatly enhanced, and the power representing the Stigmata within her body was fully unleashed.
At this point, she was equivalent to a weaker S-rank Valkyrie—Rita.
"Hehe, come play with Seele!"
Dismemberment, tearing apart, the replacement of people brought about the most primitive violence—all the pent-up frustration was swept away, and Black Seele even ignored the ominous premonition that came from nowhere.
Although it far surpasses Black Seele in both energy level and destructive power, the 'artificial Vishnu' ultimately has a series of drawbacks, such as... extremely poor flexibility.
Instead, it possesses extremely high defensive capabilities.
Black Seele's scythe is difficult to penetrate defenses—at least it's difficult to inflict any fatal wounds.
"Go to hell!"
The girl's voice gradually grew anxious—she could feel the power of the Stigmata being rapidly depleted, and the sense of crisis that seemed to come from nowhere was getting closer and closer, which made her attacks even faster, and finally—she set her sights on the glowing artificial Vishnu.
"Shh-"
Even after the cut, the deep purple light still shone on her face.
...This must be the weakness of this big guy, right?
As Black Seele thought this, she felt a great sense of danger as soon as she considered swinging her sword.
He suddenly twisted his body and slashed – “Kang!”
...power is gradually being lost.
Feeling the overwhelming fatigue, Black Seele suddenly felt a little panicked.
The power of the Stigmata seems to be interfered with by something.
"I didn't expect there would actually be a Saint Mark Awakener." The hoarse voice contained a hint of surprise as Miss Red and Blue Wendy, who had fallen down in the same way as Duck, looked at the 'skull face with an umbrella' that appeared in her field of vision.
—Grey Snake.
He certainly couldn't just leave like that. After all, World Serpent's main objective this time was to obtain the Tranquility Gem as a landmark, and after triggering the Great Collapse and activating the gem, World Serpent had already achieved its predetermined goal—hmm... the experiments regarding the Stigmata Project didn't seem to be going very smoothly. The Great Collapse energy triggered by the Tranquility Gem seemed to be interfered with by something, and the effect was very poor.
But it doesn't matter. Even if the experiment fails, it doesn't matter. After all, the experiment of the Stigmata Project was just an extra bonus added to activate the gem. As long as the Herrscher Core is obtained and the Lord returns, it doesn't matter how many more experiments we want to conduct.
"It's a pity the awakening wasn't complete." Gray Serpent shook his head—if it were a fully awakened Saint Mark user, even if World Serpent had technology specifically designed to target and limit Saint Mark users, it wouldn't be possible to succeed so easily.
The 'Red Wendy' who was the consciousness of the Stigmata entered a dormant state, while the Blue Wendy who was the main consciousness naturally surfaced.
She looked at the gray snake with a sense of helplessness. Although she didn't know who this person who had suddenly appeared was or what he intended to do, she was certain that he was definitely not a good person...
...it hurts.
Without the protection of the power of the Stigmata, the decaying power surrounding Vishnu became an extremely dangerous element.
Although due to her unique circumstances, she wouldn't be easily taken away by the power of decay like ordinary people, Seele could still feel the tearing pain that started from the cellular level as she collapsed.
But it had no power left.
...If only Bronya were here.
In a moment of despair, Seele recalled the scene where 'Bronya' had appeared before her in the nick of time.
If "Bronya" were here, things wouldn't have turned out this way...
Back then, "Bronya" was so cool.
Just like...
such.
Through the strained vision, a delicate face and a head of white hair flowing in the wind were reflected...
That familiar look...
Could it be that...
Chapter 200 Bronya: Listen to me, thank you.
"It took a little time, but it seems I'm not too late."
Kiana glanced at Seele lying on the ground, her brows relaxing slightly. Then she looked at the gray snake not far away and said coldly:
"Now it's time for us to talk about what's between us, Grey Serpent."
The metallic skull mask made it difficult for others to see what the gray snake was thinking, but the fear and vigilance in his hoarse voice undoubtedly revealed his attitude.
"Kiana Kaslana... No one can stop the World Serpent from doing what it wants."
"Kevin should be saying that to me." Her delicate and beautiful face revealed little emotion. Kiana completely disregarded the threatening implication, looking down at her opponent with indifference as she calmly stated:
"you..."
"Not qualified."
This wasn't a provocation or contempt; he was simply stating a fact. It's just like the widely circulated saying—lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
Inheriting the legacy of the previous civilization and carrying out a 'great' cause under the leadership of the surviving forerunners of the previous civilization, most of the people of the World Serpent have a sense of superiority over the people of this era. Even the Destiny, in the eyes of the World Serpent's cadres, is just a group of 'playing house' children, not worth mentioning at all.
They have always been so arrogant—and now, after being refuted like this, all they feel is deep humiliation.
If any of the Venerable Ones were here now... well, it seems that only Kevin truly supports that plan, and as for the other three Venerable Ones who are currently confirmed to be alive, they even have to pray that the other party will not stand against the World Serpent. However, this feeling of being 'disrespected' still makes the Gray Serpent feel uncomfortable.
"Miss Kiana, it seems you are very confident in that Herrscher power."
“In that case, let me tell you just how insignificant the power of a mere Herrscher is in the face of World Serpent.” The hoarse voice was filled with coldness. “Just like your other companion.”
All of this has faded into the distance.
From Bronya's perspective, standing atop a high-rise building and watched over by ravens.
"How could Kiana, that idiot, be here... Wait, Bronya understands now, this guy... could it be that bastard Jiang Qiao?!" Herrscher's non-human vision allowed her to clearly see the situation there. Although she couldn't hear the sounds clearly because of the distance, it didn't stop Bronya from judging the situation by the two people's expressions.
Bronya was puzzled as to why Kiana, who should be in paradise, would appear here, but in an instant, she had a guess and immediately realized that it must be Jiang Qiao who had entered the body of the stupid Kiana... Of course, it was also possible that she was just overthinking it.
But whatever the situation may be, one thing is certain—
"Not good!"
