"You're really ruthless to yourself."

"How can I defeat you if I'm not ruthless?"

Luo Chen infused his Jizo Mitama with Honkai energy and swung his sword, which collided with the Void Spear thrown by Sirin.

The Void Spear couldn't handle Luo Chen, so Sirin decided to try another method. She was determined to take Luo Chen's life; even the Honkai God couldn't save him, as the little pufferfish inflated her ego said!

Sirin flew backward, spreading her arms to unleash a lightning strike. A portal appeared behind her, and Benares' head emerged, unleashing an attack by pouring energy towards the command center.

Luo Chen looked at Benares's head, then at the command center, and summoned Susanoo to prepare to withstand the attack, lest the command center be destroyed, in which case the entire Hyperion would have no chance of escaping.

"Luo Chen, step back!"

Himeko's voice rang out, and a ball of flame struck Benares's head directly, interrupting her attack.

As the flames subsided, Himeko jumped back and stood next to Luo Chen, clad in her Crimson Armor and wielding the two greatswords, Surtr and Xuanyuan Sword, with a radiant smile on her face.

"Sister Himeko, you've finally arrived. I could hardly hold on any longer."

Luo Chen smiled wryly, released Susanoo and took Jizo's Soul. With Himeko by his side, Luo Chen's pressure was greatly reduced, and his confidence instantly soared.

"Thank you for your hard work. Now it's my turn."

"No, I'm with Himeko-sensei."

"Alright then, just don't be too careful."

Himeko put away her smile and prepared for battle. As soon as Sirin made any move, Himeko would rush over to interrupt her and provide an opportunity for Luo Chen.

"Honestly, why won't they just obediently let me kill them?"

The concentration of Honkai energy in the surrounding area rose sharply, causing Luo Chen to feel a slight discomfort. His exposed skin felt stinging, as if he were being pricked by needles.

In the Hyperion's control room, Theresa was initially delighted to see Himeko arrive, but the sudden change reminded her of the Herrscher of the Void's true strength. This was the Herrscher who had caused an unprecedented Great Collapse; how could she possibly have such little power!

"We've seen enough of the show, it's time to end it now."

The speed of the Void Spear far exceeded that of before. Luo Chen could easily dodge the Void Spear just now, but now it was extremely difficult for him.

Are all real Herrschers this twisted?

Luo Chen knocked away the Void Spear, shook his numb hand, and was amazed at why Xilin's strength had suddenly risen to a higher level.

"Could it be that the Will of Honkai is using a substitute player?"

Luo Chen rushed forward again, drawing Xi Lin's attention to himself so that Ji Zi could launch an attack.

Himeko, carrying two swords, moved around near Sirin. Even with Luo Chen drawing fire, she was still injured.

Since the incident, Xilin has remained silent, launching a fierce attack on the two men. At the same time, she noticed that they were both preventing her from attacking the command room, so she took advantage of this to continuously inflict damage on them.

"Little guy, I'll hold her off. You find an opportunity to deal her a serious blow, otherwise we'll both be worn down by her."

Himeko spat out a mouthful of blood, enduring her physical discomfort, and whispered instructions to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen nodded. He was now almost certain that Sirin had been replaced by the Will of Honkai, otherwise she couldn't have become so terrifying.

"Alright, follow me!"

Flames erupted from the Godfall Sword and the Xuanyuan Sword, and the Crimson Armor shone with orange light. Himeko pushed its performance to the maximum, sounding the horn of counterattack against Sirin.

Crimson flames erupted with Himeko's attack as she leaped up, wielding her greatsword, and slashed straight down at Sirin's head.

Sirin first used the Void Spear to block, but when she found that she couldn't block it, she let the Void Spear explode, causing Himeko's attack to deflect and swing down near Sirin's arm.

Seeing that Xilin's attention was not on him, Luo Chen teleported over and raised his hand to strike, leaving a large wound on Xilin's body. Corrosive Honkai energy surged into her body through the wound.

Luo Chen suddenly felt difficulty breathing and saw signs of Honkai energy erosion on his body. He quickly pulled Himeko back and knelt weakly on the ground.

Sirin retracted her Void Spear and taunted Luo Chen, "What, you really think you've succeeded? Being corrupted by Honkai energy must feel terrible, right?"

Luo Chen now felt as if the Honkai energy in his body had been detonated by something, and he couldn't control it at all, making his body weak.

Sirin's condition isn't good either. She's been fighting almost non-stop since she woke up, especially that last wave, which used up almost half of her Honkai energy. Now she needs to spend time disintegrating the corrosive Honkai energy in her body, so she decided to let them go for now. As soon as she recovers, she'll destroy them immediately.

The portal reappeared, and Sirin's final attack nearly destroyed the Hyperion, preventing them from escaping.

After doing all this, Xilin left a harsh statement and flew away to a distant place to heal her wounds, waiting for the next time to completely destroy Luo Chen.

Chapter 128 Goodbye, Sister Himeko.

After Sirin left, Einstein and the returned Tesla arranged for people to repair the Hyperion urgently, while Theresa herself had to go and clear out the Honkai Beasts that appeared in the surrounding area.

Having dealt with the Honkai energy within his body, Luo Chen finally began to concern himself with his injuries. In truth, the previous two battles had already depleted nearly a third of his Honkai energy; he had only lied to Theresa to reassure her, and now it seemed…

Luo Chen was checking his wounds when he accidentally bumped into two boxes in his inner pocket, causing him to pause involuntarily.

Luo Chen took out the box containing the medicine and opened it. The two vials of medicine inside were already inserted into the grooves of the syringes, clearly done by Otto.

Recalling what the masked man had said, I considered whether or not to use this thing.

"Little one, what are you looking at?"

Seeing Luo Chen looking down, seemingly holding something in his hand, Ji Zi curiously leaned closer.

"nothing."

Luo Chen put away the box so that Himeko wouldn't see it, then looked at Himeko's injuries and used his Honkai energy to heal her.

"Little guy, your Honkai energy can even heal!"

"Has Princess Himeko forgotten that I absorbed the Honkai energy from the Tranquility Gem?"

"Yeah, your Honkai energy is really strange."

"The only problem is that its healing ability isn't very strong. It can treat minor injuries, but not major ones."

Himeko remained silent, leaning against the wall, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

The two sat down in the corridor to rest, watching the staff coming and going. Some were repairing the Hyperion, some were treating the wounded, and others were directing the work.

Himeko stretched, her wounds had all healed, but the blood still on her body made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't pay any attention to it.

"Little guy, after we rescue Kiana, you have to have a good drink with me."

"Himeko-neechan, I'm not an adult yet..."

Luo Chen's voice grew softer and softer as he suddenly remembered something: because Otto had moved the time forward, it was only the beginning of November.

"I think it's... my birthday today."

Ji Zi was taken aback by Luo Chen's words. She then remembered that it was indeed Luo Chen's birthday today. She pulled him over and patted his back tenderly.

"Your birthday party might not be possible, but you still have to celebrate your birthday. Happy birthday, little one."

"Thank you, Sister Himeko."

Luo Chen leaned quietly on Ji Zi's shoulder, his bangs obscuring his eyes and making it impossible for others to see his face.

“When we get back to St. Freya, I’ll have Theresa hold a coming-of-age ceremony for you. You’re 18 now, you’re an adult.”

Himeko released Luo Chen, stood up, hung the greatsword behind her back, stretched her body a little, and looked at Luo Chen tenderly.

"To be honest, I'm not sure about this battle either. I might die here."

Himeko's mind was filled with memories of St. Freya: Kiana confidently declaring her intention to become the strongest Valkyrie, Bronya lying on the sofa playing games, Yuno and Mei bickering, and Luo Chen saying he was going to slack off but actually taking the mission more seriously than anyone else. One by one, Himeko couldn't help but laugh.

"Luo Chen, leave the rest of the battle to me. You just need to get some rest."

"No! It's too dangerous for you to go alone, Himeko-neechan!"

"I'm your teacher, so in this situation, just listen to me. Your condition isn't much better than mine. The Herrscher of the Void's attack was aimed at you, and your injuries are much more severe than mine. Besides, you owe me a drink."

Luo Chen remained silent, which Ji Zi interpreted as his agreement. She then prepared to engage in a final battle with Xi Lin.

No sooner had Ji Zi turned around than Luo Chen raised his hand and wrapped her with vines, then pressed his palm against her back and electrocuted her.

"Sister Himeko, I'm sorry."

Luo Chen removed the vines, picked up Ji Zi and placed her aside, laying the greatsword on his back flat beside her.

Locating the spot on the Crimson Armor where the Plague Gem was embedded, Luo Chen removed it, absorbed some of its Honkai energy, and placed it together with the Tranquility Gem.

"If he really died, Kiana should be able to find him."

Luo Chen was still a little worried. He hesitated for a long time between giving the gems to Himeko or keeping them himself. In the end, he decided to keep them for himself. According to the original plot, if he really died in the Imaginary Space, the Herrscher of Domination should be found. It's just that the two gems are a bit troublesome. He didn't know if Kiana and the others could win.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't the God-Slaying Spear be with my sister?"

After searching for a while, Luo Chen actually found the God-Slaying Spear on Ji Zi. He took it and put it away, then prepared to set off.

"Goodbye, Sister Himeko."

Luo Chen looked at the sleeping Ji Zi, said his final goodbye, took the syringe in his hand, and slowly moved forward against the crowd.

Taking the elevator up to the deck of the Hyperion, Luo Chen looked up at the dark sky. Benares was circling above the Hyperion, occasionally launching fireballs to interfere with the repair crew.

Luo Chen stared at Benares, then without hesitation inserted the syringe into his arm and pressed the button to inject all the medicine from the two test tubes into his body.

Luo Chen carelessly discarded the syringe. He could only feel the Honkai energy surging within his body before finally settling down.

If someone were standing next to him now, they would notice that the white of Luo Chen's right eye had turned black, and his silver pupils had turned gold, with bloodshot veins in them.

Rhomboid black scales appeared on Luo Chen's face, his eyes were extremely aggressive, and Honkai energy erupted wildly, causing Benares to feel a powerful sense of oppression.

Drawing out the Jizo Soul, Luo Chen's figure instantly appeared above Benares's head, slashing at its wing with a single strike.

Benares couldn't dodge in time, and Luo Chen tore open a gash in one of his wings, from which black smoke billowed. Benares roared in pain.
