Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

After getting Walter's permission, Xue directly opened the door to the imaginary space and left the Salt Lake Base.

According to the coordinates in her memory, Xue came to a ruin, and the base of the World Serpent was under the ruins.

"...Looks like we still need to sort out some troubles first."

Dozens of high-energy reactions appeared in Xue's perception almost instantly, and a large number of World Serpent patrol mechas appeared around Xue.

In response, Snow simply snapped her fingers.

Suddenly, all patrol mechas stopped operating, and Xue's left pupil flashed with a strange purple light, which was the power of the Ruler of Corrosion.

"This power is really useful, but it's a pity that the castrated version can only control machines."

Looking at the calm snow on the ground, the Jackal in the World Snake Base was puzzled. She didn't understand why all the patrol mechas stopped by themselves.

"What's going on? Why did all the mechas stop on their own? Hey, zoom in, let me see!"

The operator did as he was told, the camera zoomed in, and the image of snow appeared on the screen.

"Who is this? So arrogant."

Just as the jackal looked at Xue, Xue also noticed that the jackal was looking at her. In response, Xue gave him a meaningful smile and opened her mouth slightly.

"What is she saying?"

"Master Jackal, she seems to be saying...whether you are surprised or not, she will come to you immediately."

In fact, this is exactly what Xue said.

"? How arrogant."

"You said I was arrogant?"

Just as the jackal closed her mouth, Xue had appeared behind the jackal through the dimensional wall without anyone noticing, giving her a big fright.

"!"

"surprise!"

The jackal quickly stepped back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. How did this guy get in?

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Listen carefully, my name is Tennoji Xue, you can also call me Xue, one of the 'Fire Chasing Heroes'."

"...are you kidding me?"

Jackal naturally didn't believe Xue's one-sided statement, but the fact that he called out the name 'Chasing Fire Hero' made her doubt that the person before her could really be...

"Believe it or not, Kevin, I know you're watching me. Why don't you come meet your old friend?"

As soon as Xue finished speaking, the Jackal's communicator rang.

"Lord, what are your orders?"

【What she said is true. Listen to her and bring her here.】

"..."

After hearing what Kevin said, Jackal didn't know what to say for a moment. The intruder was actually one of his immediate superiors. This was too outrageous.

"Huh~ I'm sorry for offending you, Lord Snow, please follow me." Although he was unhappy, the jackal couldn't say anything.

"Thank you for your help. By the way, there's nothing wrong with your patrol mechas. I just temporarily invaded them, and they've returned to normal now."

“…” After hearing what Xue said, the Jackal seemed to be lost in thought.

……

Led by the jackal, Xue came to a closed door.

"The Lord is behind this gate, Master Xue. I will take my leave first."

Looking at the door in front of her, Xue gently pushed it open.

The hall in front of him was silent and empty, and on the throne at the end, a white-haired girl who looked somewhat similar to Kiana stared at Xue, saying nothing, thinking about something.

"...Sister Kaiwen, long time no see."

"...Are you really Snow?"

"Of course I'm the real Xue, and Sister Kaiwen, please smile. It's so ugly to have a stern face."

Looking at the girl on the throne, Xue felt helpless. She was such a lovely girl, but now she had a cat-like face.

"Do you have any evidence? If you are really Xue, you should know..."

"...In order to allow the survivors who hadn't entered the hibernation chamber due to the accident to enter it smoothly, [Inheritance], one of the heroes, gave up the chance to live and chose to fulfill his final mission as a fusion warrior. At the cost of burning his life and completely collapsing in order to fully unleash his power, he once again delayed the end for a very short period of time... Is that correct?

"..."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the silent girl on the throne. It was obvious that after hearing Xue's answer, she began to believe that the person in front of her was really Xue, the girl next door whom she was familiar with and her childhood sweetheart.

After all, apart from himself and the people in the paradise of the past, almost no one knew about Xue's sacrifice.

"...Xue, is it really you?"

Kaiwen stood up from the throne and wanted to hug Xue, but after taking a few steps, she remembered that her physical condition no longer allowed her to hug anyone, so she stood there in a daze.

"...It's me, Sister Kaiwen, the real Xue."

Xue naturally understood why Kaiwen was stunned. After fusing with the Ice Pig's genes and becoming a fusion warrior, Kaiwen's body's low temperature no longer allowed anyone to come into contact with her...

"However, I may be a little different now than I was before. I am no longer a pure fusion warrior..."

Hearing Xue's words, Kaiwen was confused for a moment, and then...

"Now I am a Herrscher."

Feeling the increasingly strong aura of the Herrscher coming from Xue, Kaiwen couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"...Xue, you became a Herrscher?"

"Well, but don't worry, Sister Kaiwen. Although I am a Herrscher, I am just like the Herrschers of this generation. I am a traitor to Honkai and a Herrscher who stands on the side of humanity."

After hearing Xue's words, Kevin still felt a little suspicious and wary.

After all, Himeko turned into the Herrscher of Flame without any warning, betrayed the Fire Moth, betrayed humanity, caused the tragedy in Australia, and was finally stopped and killed by himself.

"Sister Kaiwen, I know you're worried that I might suddenly become like Sister Himeko. I understand."

"Xue, I..."

After hearing Xue's words, Kevin didn't know what to say. With her remaining sensibility, she wanted to believe Xue wholeheartedly, but her rationality told her that she couldn't trust a Herrscher so easily.

"It's okay, Sister Kaiwen. Don't worry about whether to trust me. Just trust your own judgment."

Xue also understood Kaiwen's dilemma at the moment. If she were her, she would definitely feel the same way.

"Well, it's almost time, Sister Kaiwen. I'm leaving now. Please give my regards to everyone in the Land of the Past."

After that, Xue prepared to leave the World Serpent and head to Coral Island, and Kaiwen opened her mouth after a moment of silence.

"Xue... do you want to join the World Serpent?"

"...Sorry, Sister Kaiwen, I'm a member of Anti-Entropy."

"Yeah……"

Upon hearing that Xue was a member of Anti-Entropy, Kaiwen's last remaining doubts about Xue vanished. At least, she was still her comrade in the fight against Honkai...

"Then Sister Kaiwen, see you next time."

With a wave of his hand, Xue walked into the imaginary space and disappeared into the hall.

Kevin turned and walked to a corner of the hall, disappearing into the dim and imperceptible corridor.
