Luo Chen deliberately raised the volume of the word "simulation" to see if Hai Yuno would break down because of it.

To his disappointment, Haiyuno looked at Luo Chen with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, burst into laughter, and only slowly stopped laughing after a while.

"I feel like you're so naive. You don't actually think a pseudo-Herrscher would have a core, do you?"

"Tch, looks like you're pretty smart after all."

Seeing that he couldn't fool Yuno, Luo Chen's disappointment was palpable. He had already guessed that Yuno wasn't a pseudo-Herrscher.

To be honest, I was thinking about it when I first learned that Yuno had a core. When Otto told me that Yuno's core was artificial, it was basically confirmed that Yuno had already broken away from the category of pseudo-Herrscher.

I never expected that Yuno would be the Herrscher of the Quantum Sea. I just don't know what her powers are.

"I'm truly ashamed that I couldn't let Lord Luo Chen see me when I was vulnerable."

Yuno Hai's smiling face makes her seem friendly and easy to talk to, but who knows what's lurking behind that smile? Maybe this woman is a wolf in sheep's clothing?

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. If you want to help Yuno regain the power that's rightfully hers, then just go back to your original classroom. As for what happens next, there's no point in telling you; she'll have to rely on herself."

Yuno rose from the vines, strolled over to Luo Chen, tiptoed and gently kissed his lips, returning control of her body to Yuno.

Luo Chen was surprised that Hai Yuno would kiss him, while Yuno was surprised to find a tear on her face. Could it be that Hai Yuno left it?

Wiping away her tears, Yuno looked up at the entire school building, vaguely sensing that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

A warm sensation emanating from the core of her chest spread throughout her limbs, and an indescribable emotion surged within Yuno, causing her to momentarily lose her senses.

"Yuno, what's wrong?"

Luo Chen could see Yuno's condition clearly. If he wasn't mistaken, there must be something in the teaching building that resonated with Yuno. All he needed to do was find that thing.

The hallway reeked of blood, and the blood and severed limbs on the ground testified to the horror of the disaster.

A normal person would be terrified and even fall to the ground upon seeing such a hellish scene. But Luo Chen and his companion are not normal; they've simply become accustomed to this kind of sight.

The mournful cries of the assassins echoed from the stairwell. Luo Chen took pity on them and sent them away, leading Yuna upstairs over the wreckage scattered on the ground.

Upon arriving at the floor where the classrooms were located, vines entwined the walls of the corridor, blocking the way.

"There are still vines here. It seems you don't want others to get close to you."

Luo Chen teased, but Yuno pouted and glared at him coldly. The past is the past, the present is the present, and besides, these vines were planted by her in this world; what business is it of hers?

However, what puzzled Yuno was that she didn't see so many vines when she carried Luo Chen and Mei out of the classroom, and the vines on the wall only covered the ceiling, not the sides.

Luo Chen severed the vines blocking his path with a single slash, and several vines clinging to the wall seemed to be triggered, lashing towards his face.

With a vertical slash, Jizo's Soul cleaved the vines in front of Luo Chen in two. He ignored the ones to his side, giving Yuno a look that indicated what to do.

Yuno understood immediately, and flung out a vine. The two vines intertwined, with Yuno's being a noticeably darker color. In one swift motion, they uprooted the plant from the wall.

With a downward press of her palm, Yuno destroyed all the vines on the wall, and absorbed all the poisonous mist released by the vines.

"I didn't realize you were such an air purifier, Yuno."

"Can you stop being so cheeky?"

Yuna pinched Luo Chen's lips. What time is it now? Luo Chen can still joke around. He's never serious all day long. I really don't know if his serious appearance when he's fighting is just an act.

"I just wanted to lighten the mood. You've had a cold face ever since you came up here. Give me a smile."

"hey-hey."

Yuno gave a perfunctory smile, then quickly withdrew it and reverted to her indifferent demeanor, placing her right hand on her chest. From the moment she entered this level until now, Yuno's heart had been pounding, and the Honkai energy within her body was in an active state, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

"Hurry over there."

Yuna went ahead and walked to the classroom door covered with vines, pointing at the vines and telling Luo Chen to take action.

Luo Chen slashed the door in two strokes, then kicked it open and poked his head inside to check the situation.

The classroom was in a mess, and all the windows were blocked by vines, making the classroom somewhat dark.

In the center grew a strange tree, providing the only light in this dim place. The tree was exactly the same as the one Yuno had seen before, and the moment she saw it, Yuno felt a strong urge to go over and touch it.

"Yuno, don't go there yet."

Luo Chen tried to stop Yuno, but she gently pushed him away. This action made Luo Chen feel that something was not right.

"Yuno."

Luo Chen grabbed Yuno's arm and forcibly pulled her back to protect her behind him. This tree looked very eerie, and for safety's sake, Luo Chen didn't want to let Yuno pass by like that.

"Something seems off about this thing."

Yuno realized that her emotions were not right. She suppressed her impulse and felt that there was something wrong with the tree. If she approached it rashly, there might be problems.

"Try to summon the Herrscher personality, or you can talk to her."

The only one who knows the truth is Yuno Hai, but whether she's willing to tell Yuno is another matter. But it's always better to ask, just in case she finds out.

"You really believe I would harm her?"

Yuno closed her eyes, then opened them again, her pupils changing from light green to dark green, her unhappiness almost completely covering her face.

"It's one thing for Yuno to be stupid, but why are you so dumb too? Yuno and I share the same body. If something happens to her, I won't be able to escape either. Why can't you guys understand that?"

"You don't need to say anything. Aren't you just afraid that I'll take Yuno's body and then destroy her?"

Seeing that Luo Chen was about to speak, Haiyuno opened her mouth first and looked at Luo Chen with an expression as if he were an idiot.

"Why would I do that for no reason? Just because I'm bored? I'm not controlled by any so-called Honkai will. What do I care about whether humanity is destroyed or not? Isn't it good to be alive? Besides, if I really wanted to harm Yuno, I would have done it long ago. Why would I wait until now?"

"So what exactly do you want to do? Or what is your purpose?"

After listening to Yuno's long explanation, Luo Chen summarized what she was trying to say. In short, she wanted to prove that she was harmless to Yuno and would not stand against humanity. If that made things easier, then everything would be fine.

"It's all so that Yuno can become stronger."

Yuno Hai said matter-of-factly that Yuno was too weak now, and if things continued like this, she wouldn't be able to participate in many battles in the future. Yuno Hai wouldn't have it, though; she wanted to occasionally take over the account and try it out herself, watching was too boring.

"That's it?"

"It's right here."

Yuno shrugged, completely baffled as to why Luo Chen still doubted her. Yes, she had previously claimed to be Yuno's Herrscher personality, but she hadn't committed any acts of arson, murder, or robbery; she was just an innocent and well-behaved student. Why then did Luo Chen harbor such malice towards her?

"I'll trust you for now, so what's the next step?"

"Place your hand on this tree, and then use Honkai energy to guide the Honkai energy on the tree, thereby activating the true power of the core."

Chapter 166 Newborn Wings

(There was a slight mishap; I accidentally put Chapter 165 at the end of Volume 3, and I can't get it back. I'm so sorry!!!)

"It seems your plan is going to fall through."

Yuno tilted her head slightly, causing the earring on her ear to sway. She was still a little unaccustomed to this change, but she could only let it sway.

"cut."

Yuno clicked her tongue slightly, showing no sign of her plan failing. She took off the bracelet from her wrist, gripped it tightly, and a katana appeared in her hand.

"You don't think that's all I have up my sleeve, do you?"

Yuno disappeared from her spot and reappeared behind Yuno, her katana unleashing a crescent moon, as if sealing off the surrounding space.

Yuno blocked the katana with her naginata. Unexpectedly, Hai Yuno could teleport. She subconsciously checked Hai Yuno for any black smoke coming out of her body, and was relieved after confirming that there was none.

"What are you looking at?"

Yuno struck again, and this time Yuno couldn't dodge in time, taking a solid blow to her arm.

Seeing the bright red blood on the knife, Hai Yuno twirled the knife and beckoned to Yuno with her finger, taunting, "What's wrong? You got hurt by me already?"

I still prefer you when you're not talking.

Yuno swung her sword horizontally, unleashing a blade of light from her naginata, but Hai Yuno dodged it by sidestepping and returned the blow.

The two clashed swords at a distance, countless blades of light dancing between them, and the starry sea beneath their feet churning.

Yuno Hai fought with increasing vigor, gradually moving forward towards the blade's edge. Her katana was shrouded in poisonous mist, and with a single strike, she shattered Yuno's blade's edge, then teleported forward to unleash the Kesa Slash.

Yuno swung her naginata upwards to block the katana's attack, then used all her strength to deflect the katana. Seizing the opportunity, she grabbed Yuno's hand holding the katana, disarmed her, and tossed it aside.

"You caught me. What kind of reward do you want?"

Yuno playfully stuck out her tongue, brushed the back of her hand through Yuno's bangs, and finally reached her chin, extending a finger to hook Yuno's chin, her voice soft and seductive.

"Do you know how annoying you are? And your acting is terrible."

Yuno pushed Hai Yuno away, revealing a disgusted expression. Anyone with eyes could see that Hai Yuno had been holding back during the fight, and that it was Hai Yuno who deliberately caught Yuno in the end.

Is it really that bad?

Yuno sat on the ground without any regard for her image. Since it was just the two of them, where did Luo Chen go? He was obviously thrown somewhere else.

"Hey Yuno, have you really seen yourself clearly?"

Yuno's words sounded a bit strange. Yuno squatted down to look at her, trying to find something in Yuno's eyes.

"Look at this, isn't it beautiful?"

Yuno pointed to her eyes and struck a pose for Yuno to admire. When Yuno didn't look at her, she made a mournful face and waved her little hands haphazardly in front of her.

"Waaaaah, Yuno, why aren't you looking at me?"

Can't you be serious for once?
