One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"I'll pay a little attention..."

However, before Kevin could finish his words, Himiko erupted in flames and stood up again. Kevin was silent for a moment, "As expected of a Herrscher, her strength is quite good."

As the words fell, the temperature between heaven and earth began to drop sharply, and even a little frost was spreading on the ground!

At this moment, a dark blue figure appeared not far away. After all, they were traveling via quantum technology, so their speed was a bit slow. "Oh, it seems I don't need to show up anymore."

That's Kevin! Wouldn't it be easy for him to deal with a Herrscher? Not to mention Himiko's self-imposed limitations.

Kevin's wings trembled slightly, and he rushed towards Himiko like an arrow!

A somewhat strange claw stretched out, grabbed Himiko's face and pressed it down hard, then smashed it to the ground, causing the ground to crack.

This is not the end yet. With Kevin's palm as the center, the ice quickly spread out, locking Himiko tightly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Himiko suddenly exerted her strength, trying to regain control of her body. For a moment, the Herrscher of Flame became unresponsive.

"Alicia, it's up to you now." Kevin slowly withdrew his hand and turned his gaze to Alicia.

"Come on, leave it to me~"

After a moment of stunned silence, Alicia finally reacted. Although she knew Kevin was very strong, she had never imagined that he could be this strong!

Quickly coming in front of Himiko, Alicia activated the imaginary hand in her hand, and her hand began to become imaginary little by little.

As the Herrscher of Origin, her suitability for the Divine Key was clearly at its peak. She reached into Himiko's body and locked onto her Herrscher Core in a matter of moments.

"Found it~"

A crimson gem-like core was pulled out, and Honkai's control over Himiko weakened. A faint glimmer of humanity emerged in Himiko's eyes.

"Sorry, Alicia, for causing you trouble..."

Perhaps because fighting against the collapse took too much energy, Himiko's voice sounded a little weak.

"No~"

Alicia reached out her hand and gently held Himiko's small hand. "It's not a bother at all. Haven't you also seen Xi'er? She's doing well now~"

"Xi'er..."

When Xi'er was mentioned, Himiko thought of something. "I see, that's how it is... I don't know how it was done, but you already knew it, right?"

"That's why Mobius kept dragging me along, saying he couldn't find a compatible Honkai Beast Factor. So that's the reason..."

"Hemihu..."

"It's okay, Alicia, I'm not that fragile. You didn't tell me because you were probably afraid that I would think too much~" After all, she was a warrior, so Himiko quickly adjusted herself.

Then, Himiko squeezed Alicia's breasts slightly, and gave her a gentle smile, "Okay, Alicia, let's go back."

"Well, let's go home."

Alicia was very sensitive to people's hearts. Knowing that Himiko had indeed let it go, she breathed a sigh of relief and gave her her signature, contagious smile.

The Thousand Worlds One Vehicle unfolded in Alicia's hands, and she skillfully adjusted the coordinates to the Fire Moth, and the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle was activated.

"That's the end of it."

In the ruins, Bai Ye finally let go of his worries as he saw everything had settled. He silently released his present world, ready to wait for Bronya to summon him from the other side.

Bai Ye's figure gradually disappeared. He took one last look at Changkong City and sighed, "What a pity. There are no other options for the remaining Herrschers. We can't follow the plan for this remake."

At this point, the Herrscher of Flame has basically come to an end, and it is almost time for the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire to be born.

146. Persuasion

Compared to Seele, Himiko is more aware of the importance of the Herrscher. Even though Bai Ye, Alicia and others persuaded her that it was unnecessary, she still imprisoned herself in the deepest place.

"Why are you doing this? Xier has been outside the whole time, and nothing happened to her~"

Outside the cold cage, Bai Ye knocked on the iron bars and greeted Himiko, "Someone's here to see you, Himiko, why don't you turn around and say a few words."

"..."

There was silence.

Although the Herrscher of Fire was stopped by Alicia, the damage caused was very small and there were almost no casualties, but Himiko still had a knot in her heart.

"Forget it, let her tell you. I'll be out for a while, don't worry, no one will eavesdrop." After giving a simple instruction, Bai Ye turned around and left the deepest place, making room for himself.

Soon, footsteps were heard, followed by Himiko's familiar voice, which sounded very honest. "Captain! Are you... okay?"

"It's you, Hua."

After getting rid of the influence of Houkai, Himiko's tone became gentle, as usual. She still had a deep impression of Hua, a very honest child.

They first met in Canghai City. Hua was very young at that time. She had just experienced the Great Collapse and was very confused and lost.

She extended her hand to him and accepted him into the team. However, Fu appeared later, which made Hua more cheerful.

Her father was still alive, which was undoubtedly good news for Hua. But even so, she did not quit the team, but stayed in the team and gradually grew into a qualified soldier.

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

From Hua's perspective, through the cold iron bars, he could see a gentle smile on Himiko's face in the cell.

Before Hua could say anything, Himiko spoke first, "I'm sorry, Hua, as your captain, I may not be able to accompany you in the next battle."

"But now you can handle things on your own and don't need me to watch over you anymore. This is undoubtedly a good thing..."

Like an elder, Himiko sat in the cell, carefully instructing Hua. Hua could sense the care in her tone and nodded obediently.

From the general direction to the daily trivialities, Himiko mentioned almost everything, as if she wanted to finish it in one breath.

"Captain! You can join us. Hasn't there been a precedent before?"

After Himiko said it was almost time, Hua finally spoke. There was no routine, and his tone was full of sincerity. After all, he was the honest Hua. "Captain, come back, everyone misses you."

But in response to what Hua said, Himiko just smiled and said nothing. She was, after all, the Herrscher of Fire, and needed to restrain herself.

At times like this, one could actually talk about the past and use the bond between people to persuade them. Unfortunately, Hua was too honest and didn't understand any of this.

After being rejected by Himiko, Hua didn't know what to say and fell into silence for a long time.

"...Hua, you can't do this. You should get used to interpersonal relationships and try to communicate more with others instead of being such a taciturn person."

"Okay, I'll try, Captain." As expected, Hua's answer was still so simple.

Himiko felt a little helpless, but there was nothing she could do about Hua. After that, the two chatted about daily life, and time passed slowly.

……

After a while, Hua said goodbye to Bai Ye and left the abyss. Bai Ye checked the time, prepared a nutritious meal for Himiko, and returned to his post.

He didn't even take the key, but pushed open the cell door directly - the door was not locked at all. After all, Himiko was not a real "prisoner", so there was no need to do so.

Not only that, the infrastructure inside is also very complete, almost no worse than a so-called apartment.

Placing the nutritious meal on the dining table in the room, Bai Ye casually sat down nearby. "It seems Hua still hasn't been able to convince you, Himiko. Are you still having trouble getting over it?"

"I am a Herrscher after all."

Himiko didn't say much about this. The fact that she was a Herrscher was enough.

"But you've lost your core, haven't you? Himiko, with your willpower, you can definitely control yourself."

Bai Ye continued. Himiko had already sacrificed so much as a warrior, but to deny her everything just because she was a Herrscher? That was utterly unreasonable.

"Alright, Bai Ye, no need to say more. I've already decided to stay in Zhishen..."

"But you've escaped the collapse."

Before Himiko could finish, Bai Ye raised his voice slightly and interrupted her, "Besides, if it weren't for you, the damage caused by the Herrscher of Flame would not be so small. So you have made some contributions~"

???

Can it still be calculated this way? But Himiko was a team leader after all, so she was not so easily fooled. She quickly realized, "Bai Ye, this is not how things are calculated."

"But I think it's okay. If you hadn't been fighting and hadn't actively triggered the Great Collapse, the damage would have been much greater." Bai Ye said leisurely.

After all, in the original story, Himiko was controlled by Honkai and burned down the entire Australia! Now it's all good.

"Really, Himiko, I'm not lying to you. You know the Herrscher's destructive power, but do you know the exact number of casualties in this Great Destruction?"

Bai Ye reported a number that was even lower than the casualties of some small-scale Honkai, and comparable to the early stages of Honkai. "So, achieving this level is already very good."

"If some fearless people hadn't flocked to Changkong City, this number would be even smaller. Who do you think is responsible for this?"

That must be Alicia... That's what she wanted to say. But she also knew in her heart that she was indeed partly involved. She seemed to be confused?

"No, this kind of thing..."

Himiko wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start. She just felt that something was wrong.

Just then, a warm voice sounded, "Did you miss me, Himiko? I came to see you?~"

"Hey, have you guys prepared lunch yet? What a shame, I brought some myself~"

In Alicia's hand, she can be seen holding a pink lunch box that suits her taste. However, she quickly adjusted her mood and said, "Then let's eat together, how about it?"

"of course."

Himiko didn't mind and nodded in agreement. But Bai Ye...

"I can't. I'd rather not get involved in your girls' private conversations. Xier is still waiting for me at home~"

Bai Ye smiled at the two of them, then waved his hand, walked past Alicia, and lowered his voice, "Himiko is left to you."

Leave it to me~ Alicia didn't reply, but she did receive it and took action.

"Alright Himiko, it's his loss that Byakuya is gone. I prepared a feast, ok?"

Alicia was as enthusiastic as ever. She placed the pink lunch box on the table, displaying the feast. "Try it quickly! It will get cold soon and lose its flavor."

"Okay, okay, I get it, Alicia." Himiko was also infected by this enthusiasm and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

147. Collapse Enters the Late Stage

At the deepest level, as a former squad leader, people often come to visit Himiko, but as for her status as a Herrscher, no one cares. To these people, she is Himiko first, and then the Herrscher.

95

Of course, Alicia and Bai Ye also came over from time to time and tried to persuade Himiko, but they still failed.

As a warrior, Himiko had her own judgment and insisted on staying in the deepest place. Except for some research cooperation, she rarely came out, even though she didn't lock the door at all.

However, there are occasional exceptions:

"Happy birthday, Xiaohua."

Another year passed, and Fu, as a fusion warrior, looked a lot younger and had time to celebrate his daughter's birthday.

Not only that, in addition to Fu, many other people came to the birthday party. After all, Fu was the instructor of the Fire Moth and had great prestige in the entire Fusion Warrior Corps.

"Hua, happy birthday?~"

Alicia also brought Eden over, and her immense enthusiasm added some vitality to the birthday party.

Soon after, Kevin, Hen, Kosmo... and so on all came one after another. Even those who didn't come brought a gift, which almost filled up every corner of the room.

Mebius was as stubborn as ever, but in the end, she still came; Velvet was also represented by the conductor, and no big news was made.

"Happy birthday, Hua, look who we brought?" The last one came was Bai Ye. He spent a lot of time and effort to finally persuade Himiko to come out from her deepest state!

Hua turned his head and saw the familiar, bright red long hair, and his emotions couldn't help but get out of control.

After being stunned for a moment, Hua suddenly rushed towards Himiko, "Captain Himiko!"

"Haha~ Okay, okay, Hua, today is your birthday, you should smile more." Himiko patted Hua's back gently, her tone still as gentle as she remembered.

"Okay Xiaohua, it's time to light the candles."

Fu was dressed in a suit and looked not old at all, but a handsome uncle. He pushed out a huge birthday cake from the kitchen and looked at his daughter with a smile.

"Okay, Dad."

Amidst everyone's blessings, Hua gradually adjusted his mood and began the next step of his birthday.
