You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

Qiu Bi's thoughts were pulled back to reality by Alicia's words, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Alicia, where did you get this longbow from?"

"Oh dear, isn't it normal for beautiful girls to have secrets?"

"Could this be one of the powers of the 'Lawgier of Humanity'?"

"Hmm? Did Kevin tell you my real identity?"

Although Alicia was asking Qiu Bi a question, her gaze was fixed on Kevin.

Kevin shook his head and replied, "I have not said anything about Yingjie, or rather—Qiu Bi already knew a lot about Yingjie."

"Like This."

Alicia didn't seem to mind, and replied with a smile, "You can guess, but... it's not a good thing to pry into a beautiful girl's secrets."

Qiu Bi chuckled, then murmured in agreement, "Indeed."

Immediately, Qiu Bi extended his right hand.

Alicia looked at Qiu Bi's outstretched right hand, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She stared into Qiu Bi's eyes, as if trying to guess his intentions.

Then, she tentatively reached out and placed her hand on Qiu Bi's palm.

The moment the two came into contact, the night sky suddenly burst into a dazzling display of "colorful fireworks".

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the so-called "colorful fireworks" are actually arrows of various colors.

Alicia blinked, her attention immediately drawn to the dazzling, dreamlike scene.

On the other hand, Qiu Bi took this opportunity to grant Alicia abilities.

The contract grants you—a personal space!

A warm current surged through her heart, instantly causing a bright and alluring blush to appear on Alicia's cheeks.

Noticing the changes in her body, Alicia looked away in surprise and turned to Qiu Bi: "Qiu Bi, is this your 'Contract' ability?"

"Yes."

Qiu Bi smiled faintly and withdrew his right hand without any hesitation.

Inside his right ear, a purple hole no bigger than a soybean slowly closed.

The "colorful fireworks" that bloomed earlier were actually arrows shot by Sirin.

Sirin used her many Herrscher cores to give the split arrows various colors, ultimately creating a dazzling display of fireworks.

Furthermore, Qiu Bi's actions just now were all guided by Sirin, allowing Qiu Bi to launch a surprise attack using the "contract" ability while Alicia's attention was drawn.

"Can you grant me abilities without signing any so-called 'contract'?"

Alicia raised her right hand and examined it carefully. She did not find any trace of what appeared to be a "contract". Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth, like a finely crafted work of art.

"When Sirin resurrected you, you had already signed a contract with me—after all, the 'Monster Resurrection' card used by Sirin was granted by the power of 'contract'."

Qiu Bi has always been open about his "contract" abilities, providing detailed explanations.

After all, there is no need to hide anything from one's "contractor".

Furthermore, Sirin and Angelin are both his daughters. The former is the strongest multi-core Herrscher in the current civilization generation, while the latter was the former "Herrscher of the End".

In addition, Qiu Bi has countless opportunities to "come back to life," so apart from his own troubles, there's really nothing for him to be afraid of.

Given Cecilia's personality, it's unlikely that something like a domestic crisis will happen, right?

Qiu Bi pondered this.

Little did he know, Cecilia was watching Qiu Bi's every move.

I need to take a day off to organize my thoughts.

I'm so confused by all the gossip I've been following lately ╯︿╰.

I managed to resist the urge to gossip today, but I found myself a bit stuck in my train of thought. I need to reorganize the outline and plot to make it easier to resume the regular double updates (actually, four updates a day).

It's already over 600,000 words, and we've only written up to the sixth Herrscher. There are still six more Herrschers to write about. The final word count is guaranteed to be over one million words, but we can't be sure how many words it will be in the end.

After it's finished, I'll probably write some side stories.

Chapter 339 Tracy and Vivian

Boom!

The cleaver fell heavily, striking the chicken's neck precisely, separating the rooster's head from its plucked feathers.

Cecilia held the kitchen knife, smiling as she gazed out the window, her eyes reflecting the scene of Qiu Bi and Alicia holding hands.

Amber was startled by Cecilia's actions, and then followed Cecilia's gaze, only to see Qiu Bi and Alicia holding hands, and suddenly realized what was going on.

However, Amber didn't say much and silently chopped vegetables and cooked.

With so many people having a meal together, a lot of food must be prepared, otherwise there will be an embarrassing situation where there isn't enough food.

"Hmph! That Qiu Bi guy... I'll definitely teach him a lesson tonight."

Cecilia gave a soft hum, no longer paying attention to the view outside the window, and focused on cooking dinner.

Although the Quantum Shadow caused quite a commotion, it has now been dealt with by Delta, Anna, Li Sushang, and Sirin, so there's nothing to worry about.

Amber clearly heard Cecilia's soft moan and blushed, seemingly both shy and perhaps thinking of the wonderful things that would happen that night.

Fu Hua glanced at Cecilia, then at the blushing Amber, puzzled and confused, but didn't ask any further questions.

With all the Quantum Shadows dead, Sirin quietly appeared beside Qiu Bi, smiling as she watched Qiu Bi and Alicia holding hands.

Noticing Xilin's gaze, Qiu Bi subtly withdrew his right hand and snapped his fingers instead.

Snapped!

In an instant, a strong wind arose, gathering all the remains of the Quantum Shadows together, making it easier for Delta to store them in her "personal space".

Mebius stared intently at the clustered corpses, eager to study the quantum shadows, but did not ask for them.

As long as we know that the "Quantum Shadow" exists, we will definitely have the opportunity to encounter it again in the future.

and so……

Mebius is not in a hurry.

There is still a long time ahead, enough for her to study at her own pace.

Alicia clearly knows Möbius very well; even though Möbius didn't explicitly say so, she guessed what he was thinking.

"Qiu Bi, how should we capture those quantum shadows?"

"Capture the Quantum Shadow?"

Qiu Bi looked at Alicia with a puzzled expression, and then explained, "The Quantum Shadow lives in the Quantum Sea and can freely enter and exit reality and the Quantum Sea. Even if captured, its movements cannot be restricted."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Bi realized Alicia's implication and then continued, "I will talk to Delta later and ask her to bring out some of the Quantum Shadow's corpses for research."

"Then I'll have to trouble you~"

Alicia smiled sweetly.

Qiu Bi waved his hand and then said, "Let's go back. Leave the rest to the magical girls. I'll leave you to stay in Academy City for the time being."

Because Sophia, Alexandra, Gana, and Wendy need to wait for childbirth, Qiu Bi and the others will stay in Academy City for several months before returning to Fogsea Manor.

Only when that time comes can Qiu Bi arrange accommodations for the heroes.

In addition to basic accommodation, it is also necessary to provide Möbius with qualified research facilities and create suitable intelligent AI.

Upon closer examination, the Stigmata Terminal "Alaya Consciousness" might be a good choice.

The vast amount of data recorded in the Stigmata Terminal "Alaya Consciousness" alone is enough for Mebius to study for a long time, and he might even be able to use it to determine the exact location of the "Honkai".

……

As the Human Alliance revealed the "Honkai" to the world, widespread chaos erupted around the globe.

The frequent outbreaks of collapse are secondary; the most significant issue is the collapse of social order in some countries, which has gradually evolved into "hell on earth."

Kevin had seen many such scenes before, so he remained unmoved and didn't even intend to tell the newly resurrected heroes.

Otto has always been resolute, knowing that these are necessary sacrifices to defeat the "Honkai," and besides, the Valkyries simply cannot restore order to those countries.

Walter had tried to help those countries restore order, but with the inaction of local authorities, social order would soon collapse again.

After repeating this process several times, Walter had to abandon his naive idea.

Public panic often spreads like a plague, rapidly reaching the hearts of others.

When panic evolves to a certain degree, coupled with the collapse of social order, it will turn into despair.

Within this seemingly bottomless abyss of despair, an extremely special being was influenced by Honkai energy and was eventually born.

Or...

This will be the only "non-human Herrscher" in the world born with two Herrscher cores.

—A human-shaped puppet.

This Herrscher was born in a land of chaos, panic, and despair, a place where order had collapsed, and expanded its power at a speed that even the United Humans could not imagine.

The fact that he was born with two Herrscher cores seems to have caused a mutation in his powers, allowing him to bring all the people in the land of collapsed order under his control within just half a month.

Because it was so well hidden, the Human Alliance found nothing other than a Honkai energy reaction.

The Herrscher handled the situation perfectly, controlling a large number of Honkai Beasts to gather in the same area, creating a scenario where "quantitative change leads to qualitative change".

The joint investigation team conducted several investigations but failed to uncover any useful information. Therefore, they could only conclude that the Honkai energy reaction was caused by a large number of Honkai Beasts gathering.

"Hee hee hee……"

"All the disordered lands will soon be under 'our' control, and then..."

“The despicable traitors will be executed by ‘us’ personally, and their powers will be used by ‘us’, while the ugly humans will fully expose the malice in their hearts, and ultimately…”

"Human civilization will be destroyed!"

"Hehehehe..."

A piercing and manic laugh echoed endlessly through the quiet town.
