Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

【Ding dong! 】

Xing: Ying, given our relationship, although we can't say we're friends, we're more like master and servant.

Star: I can barely spare one credit to send you to Mebius for a brain checkup.

Ying: It’s funny!

Ying smiled coldly.

Ying: I've never had any desire to communicate with an idiot like you.

Xing: Ah, right, right, not as smart or interesting as you, Geigei.

Ying: Do you need to tell me this?

Funina: ...I don't know what to say.

Alicia: Silence is the right thing to do.

Del is not a silly goose: Are Ying and Lin Mao siblings?

As a newcomer, Durandal was unaware of the relationship between the two and asked this question in the group chat.

Images of Lin Mao and Ying appeared in my mind. Not to mention that their hair colors were completely different, they didn't even look alike.

Ying: Yeah, what's wrong?

Ying: My brother and I have relied on each other since we were little...

Lin Mao: The person she's talking about isn't me.

Ying: @Lin Mao, it's okay, even if you don't admit it, I've already made up my mind about you!

Xing: I laughed so hard.

Ying: @Xing, don't poop in your pants.

Funina: Ugh! This topic is disgusting!

Alicia: Absolutely!

Although she didn't know why Ying suddenly changed like this, the Herrscher of Knowledge was thoroughly enjoying it, especially Lin Mao's innocent expression, which made the Herrscher of Knowledge's shoulders ache.

"Stop laughing and lead the way."

Lin Mao snorted coldly, staring at the back of the Herrscher of Knowledge, his fingers twitching, feeling an urge to slap her from behind.

"I wasn't laughing. How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

"The one who understands the law said with a smile on his lips."

After speaking, she quickened her pace to lead the way. Compared to Fu Hua's methodical approach, the Herrscher of Knowledge found it much simpler when faced with decryption, directly and violently breaking through without considering the consequences.

It vividly demonstrates what it means to 'overcome all obstacles with sheer force'.

The kid is simple-minded, but he's incredibly strong!

Lin Mao waved his hand, using ice elements to reinforce the passage that was on the verge of collapse due to the actions of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

With the two working together, the group truly felt like they were on vacation, enjoying themselves immensely.

Himeko's expression was strange; this was the easiest mission she had ever undertaken since becoming a Valkyrie.

She doesn't need to do anything; she can just follow behind.

All the unexpected events were resolved by the Herrscher of Knowledge and the girl named 'Sydorali'.

When a suicide soldier or a Honkai Beast appears, it will be dealt with by one of the two within ten seconds.

They had no ability to resist.

Leaving aside the Herrscher of Knowledge, the girl named 'Sydora' should conservatively be estimated to have the strength of an S-rank Valkyrie.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to deal with Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors so easily.

After a while.

The group passed through the broken walls and arrived at a spacious area, in the center of which sat a purple crystal.

The Lawbringer glanced at it and said calmly, "Look, that is the core of Chi You."

Then he pointed to the sword inside the crystal.

"The Xuanyuan Sword was one of the things used to seal Chi You, but judging from the appearance of this core, it seems that Chi You is not dead yet..."

"But that's normal. Judgment-class Honkai Beasts are already considered the pinnacle of Honkai Beasts, so they're not easy to kill."

The Herrscher of Knowledge felt a pang of emotion. Although she was not Fu Hua, the two shared the same memories.

Naturally, people would also feel sentimental about Fu Hua's past experiences.

hum!

The Herald of Knowledge suddenly became serious, adopting a wary posture and staring intently at the purple crystal in the center.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and the invisible consciousness was repelled by the power of the Law of Consciousness.

Apart from Lin Mao, who seemed to sense something, the others did not react.

Seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge's wary posture, Himeko, who had been looking around, looked away and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Following her gaze, one could see the dense Honkai energy in the purple crystal in the center.

The Herald of Knowledge did not answer Himeko's question. Recalling what Lin Mao had said earlier, he tentatively asked, "Ji Lin?"

"Red Iris..."

The illusory voice, filled with doubt, was captured by the Herrscher of Knowledge.

He's really not dead?!

Thousands of years? How did they manage that?

With his gaze fixed on the Xuanyuan Sword, the Herrscher of Knowledge murmured to himself, "Could it be because of the Divine Key?"

The Xuanyuan Sword is a mass-produced Divine Key, using the core of the Herrscher of Domination, who also has another name—the Herrscher of a Thousand.

As its name suggests, it has several core components, thus enabling the mass production of Divine Keys.

However, compared to the Divine Keys created by other Herrscher cores...

The Divine Key of the Herald of a Thousand People does not possess such immense power.

The abilities of the Ruler of Domination are related to consciousness, which may explain why Ji Lin is still alive even after a thousand years.

"Red Kite? Is it really you, Red Kite?"

"it's me."

The Herald of Knowledge nodded, his self-talk making the others wonder if their communication was taking place at the level of consciousness rather than the physical level.

"Wait!" Himeko saw the Herrscher of Knowledge step forward and approach the Xuanyuan Sword, and immediately called out to stop her, "What sound are you hearing?"

"Do you remember Ji Lin that I mentioned before?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge turned around and said something that made Kiana's mouth slightly open. "So, she's really still alive?"

"It's not that it's alive, but rather that its consciousness was absorbed by the Xuanyuan Sword and preserved... Don't come any closer, let me go over and check it out."

Those with the necessary vigilance and awareness were still present, and they instructed these people to stand near the dense forest to prevent accidents from happening.

The powerful version of himself then stepped forward to check on the Xuanyuan Sword and Ji Lin's condition.

Breaking open the crystal and taking out the Xuanyuan Sword, the Herrscher of Knowledge heard the familiar voice once again.

"Thank you, Chi Yuan... thank you..."

The final "thank you" was no longer as gentle as it had been at the beginning; it was now filled with the cruelty of a conspiracy succeeding.

The Herrscher of Knowledge had a calm gaze, and a consciousness gradually spread from the hand holding the Xuanyuan Sword throughout her body, attempting to control her.

If it were an ordinary Valkyrie, she would most likely be affected.

Let's not talk about this anymore.

If it weren't for the Herald of Knowledge isolating the other party's influence before...

One of Himeko and Bronya has to get infected.

It's most likely Himeko.

Because she is stronger than Bronya and has a more complete mind, she will probably be the first choice.

As for Kiana and Raiden Mei... what's there to say about the two Herrschers?

Lin Mao doesn't even need to be mentioned.

Sensing the consciousness attempting to control itself, the Herald of Knowledge asked in a complex voice, "So, he's already dead?"

"Why aren't you affected?!"

The Xuanyuan Sword began to tremble, but in the hands of the Herrscher of Knowledge, it could not go anywhere.

"Perhaps it's because I am a law-abiding person."

The Herrscher of Knowledge casually uttered a sentence, then suddenly exerted force in his palm, tearing apart the consciousness that had invaded his body, and the power belonging to the Herrscher of Knowledge surged into the Xuanyuan Sword.

"..."
