Chapter 389 - Chapter 383: Riddler, get out of the stream!

Yae Sakura, 〈I think I now understand why Mr. Fu Lin wanted to move his stigma to the back of his hand...〉

Kiana, 〈Fu Lin's this cringy too?〉

[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Interesting.〉

"Uhh....."

In the live studio, Fu Lin's face instantly turned red upon hearing the comments. Embarrassed, he scratched his cheek, looking like he had something to say but stopped himself.

Seeing Fu Lin's awkward expression on the stream, Kiana☆'s lips curled up slightly as she covered her mouth and chuckled softly, finding his expression incredibly adorable.

Fu Lin, "....."

-----------------------------------------

[Of course, Ninti Apokalypse wasn't the only one eager to fight. A girl with short light purple hair, Seele, stood in front of Ninti and said,

"No way I'm giving you that chance! That light and floaty guy—this master will take care of them!"

At that moment, Bronya suddenly said, "God of War Railgun, recharge."

...

"If the instruments can't detect it—"

Just as everyone was preparing for battle, Melin's gaze fell on a girl beside her wearing a white robe with long sea-blue hair, and she asked,

"Jyahnar, can you see where that guy is?"

Facing the girl called Jyahnar, even the dignified Melin spoke with a bit more respect. However, Jyahnar gave no response.]

With Jyahnar's appearance, both Kiana's couldn't help but be drawn to her.

Kiana☆ withdrew her gaze and shook her head, 〈This girl called Jyahnar... is strong!〉

Kiana, 〈....〉

Bronya, 〈That's... Seele?〉

Seele (White), 〈Yes, Sister Bronya.〉

[Looking at the silent Jyahnar, Melin gave a self-deprecating chuckle and continued,

"Heh, not concerned about the survival of humanity? But if you just let the battleships sink like this, history will only repeat what happened tens of thousands of years ago."

"Don't you want to see a future where humanity defeats the Honkai?"

After speaking, Melin quietly watched Jyahnar. A moment later, seeing that Jyahnar was still unmoved, Melin looked away and sighed,

"What a pity—"

Suddenly, Jyahnar spoke,

"To the right."

Hearing this, a trace of astonishment flashed through Melin's eyes. The next second, a rumble sounded, and the entire fleet began to shake.

From the comms, the operator brought grim news,

"Second fleet, half destroyed—what on earth just happened?!"

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I encountered a Herrscher with such high Honkai energy on Earth..."

Jyahnar's lips curled slightly in a smirk. She let out a few chuckles and softly murmured,

"Above."

Hearing Jyahnar's words, Melin immediately grasped the meaning and shouted without hesitation,

"Fire!"

The main cannon quickly adjusted its aim upward. With a thunderous roar, dense artillery fire poured down like rain, targeting Wendy in the sky.

Wendy coughed lightly a few times, a teasing smile on her face as she looked down at the people below and said with a chuckle,

"Ah~ I've been found. You're impressive."

At that moment, Wendy's figure gradually became clear and appeared before everyone.

However, compared to the image everyone was familiar with, she now looked entirely different.

Her original outfit had been replaced by an elegant, pure-white formal gown radiating a noble and mysterious aura. Her hands had turned pitch-black like ink, etched with mysterious, arcane runes glowing faintly.

But the most eye-catching feature was those fair, tender thighs... ahem, correction—her green wings had vanished, replaced by a giant glowing pale-green sigil on her back.

The sigil resembled a full moon suspended behind her.]

Raven, 〈So this is the true form of the Herrscher.〉

Kiana widened her eyes, pointing at the screen where Fallen Feather Wendy appeared, exclaiming in disbelief, 〈Such a terrifying presence—is this still Wendy?〉

Bronya, 〈Wendy is so beautiful...〉

[Embarrassed Herrscher] Wendy, 〈If Sister Bronya likes it, I can wear it too.〉

Seele (White), 〈???〉

[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈Just looking at that form and the Honkai energy emanating from it... how despairing must the humans in the video feel?〉

Fu Lin, however, stroked his chin, seemingly focused on something else. He stared curiously at Wendy in the video and said,

"Does her true form also enhance the bust?"

[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua was silent for a moment before replying, 〈.....〉

[Embarrassed Herrscher] Wendy, upon hearing Fu Lin's words, said angrily, 〈Host! What are you looking at! I'm not small to begin with...〉

"I don't believe it unless you show me..."

Fu Lin crossed his arms in disbelief.

At that moment, Kiana☆ couldn't help but cough twice, 〈Ahem, ahem!〉

Fu Lin changed the subject, redirecting everyone's attention back to the video, "...Let's watch the video."

[Faced with Wendy's new form, Seele clenched her hands, speaking with a trace of fear, "That Herrscher's form..."

Even Ninti, who was raring to fight earlier, now hesitated and nervously gulped before frowning, "Guh, this pressure is completely different from before!"

Humans always believe there's hope in every situation, but with the arrival of "true" Wendy and the fear on everyone's faces, Jyahnar found it laughable and mocked,

"A future where humans defeat the Honkai... I've heard that one many times."

"As long as they're human, they'll eventually bring that idea up—only to helplessly face death."

"She's different from any Herrscher you've seen before. Can you pass this trial?"

Jyahnar looked at everyone and asked curiously—but in her heart, she already knew the answer.]

Kiana, 〈To think I just started liking this Jyahnar—humans will defeat the Honkai!〉

Kevin, 〈That's my line...〉

Elysia, 〈Kevin, the first of the Flame-Chasers, heartbroken after having his iconic line stolen by a junior. Crying, wailing—so pitiful~〉

Fu Lin's lips twitched as she glanced at Elysia's mischievous comment and reflexively asked, "Elysia, how many trash foxes per meal?"

Elysia, 〈Sakura's so cute, how could I eat her~〉

Kevin, 〈...〉

Einstein, 〈Just who is this Jyahnar? She's unfazed even before the Herrscher of Wind. Her words sound as if she's witnessed humanity's destruction countless times...〉

"Though this might be a bit of a spoiler, it doesn't really matter,"

Fu Lin looked at the data in her hand and slowly read out information about Jyahnar.

"She's the ultimate weapon created by Dr. Mei—designed to counter a 'planet-level Honkai beast' that even God of War can't defeat. She calls herself the Herrscher of the Sea and once personally destroyed an entire civilization."

Everyone, Gasp~

[Miss Lily]Otto, 〈Heh, living in that world must be pure despair.〉

Hearing this, Kiana grew curious and immediately asked, 〈If Jyahnar is a villain, then why is she on the human side?〉

Fu Lin glanced at the data, showed a face of sudden realization, and then tossed it behind him, saying,

"Those who get it, get it. If you don't, figure it out yourself. Once you get it, you get it. Anyway—you get it, right?"

Everyone, 〈Riddler, get out of the stream!〉
