"That's the main cannon of the Moon Throne!!"
The moment they saw those giant cannons, Ai Yin and Tesla instantly recognized what those sci-fi cannons were and exclaimed in surprise.
"One door, two doors, three doors... such a number!"
—Converting Honkai energy into thermal energy, the ultimate technology left behind by the previous civilization—the Moon Throne system. After obtaining this technology, they have been building that warship, while having a great headache about the warship's power source—the complete Moon Throne requires a full four Herrscher cores to provide power.
At this moment, although these were only the main cannons, the Moon Throne actually had over a hundred main cannons...
"Does she have that much Honkai energy?"
Tesla's eyes were full of skepticism.
It's important to know that while this thing is extremely powerful, it also consumes an enormous amount of Honkai energy.
—According to the original plot, just the manifestation of the Moon Throne and the simultaneous firing of the four gates completely drained Bronya, almost causing her to lose.
Now, there are over a hundred!
"It will take some time."
Bronya responded to Tesla's question with words that sounded like milk powder and were completely unfazed.
Indeed, even if she were already the Herrscher of Truth, it would be impossible for her to supply hundreds of Moon Throne main cannons to fire simultaneously. After all, the Honkai energy of a Herrscher core is limited, and even if she were to ascend to immortality, it wouldn't increase by much.
But—he doesn't only have one Herrscher core.
The power of the Herrscher of the Void, who wields the authority of the Imaginary Number—this core possesses the most Honkai energy of all Herrschers, except for the Herrscher of the End, even surpassing the Herrscher of Origin.
"Even with the support of the Herrscher of the Void's core, it probably wouldn't be enough, would it?"
Tesla remains skeptical of Jiang's explanation.
She didn't know exactly how much Honkai energy the Herrscher of the Void's core possessed, but even if it was more, there would be a limit.
"Even if all the Honkai energy of all the Herrschers except for the End were combined, it would still be impossible to reach the Moon Throne main cannons."
"Wait, you..."
Suddenly, a certain possibility occurred to Tesla, leaving him speechless.
—That's right. The Honkai energy that can power a hundred Moon Thrones to fire simultaneously is something that even gathering all thirteen Herrscher cores except for the Herrscher of the End would not be possible.
but--
If it is the Herrscher of the End, even disregarding the other thirteen Herrschers, this one alone is enough to supply a hundred gates firing simultaneously.
"It's just a shortcut."
The silver-haired girl's answer confirmed Tesla's idea.
—The Herrscher of Origin is the one closest to the cocoon and has the highest authority, except for the Herrscher of End. Next is the Herrscher of Void, who controls the imaginary number.
By leveraging his partial Primal Authority to elevate the Imaginary Authority, he was able to directly access a portion of the Honkai Energy stored within the Cocoon that originally belonged to the Herrscher of the End, in a manner akin to cheating.
However, it's just Honkai energy, and the duration will be very short.
It only lasted about five seconds.
but--
Five seconds is enough.
Bronya chuckled, gazing down at the roaring Chi You, and casually uttered the word that would bring death:
"fire!"
"--boom!"
The deafening roar even drowned out the strange 'nursery rhyme'.
After a long while, the smoke and dust dissipated, and Chi You's enormous figure vanished without a trace.
Honkai Beasts are creatures composed of Honkai energy, and this is especially true for higher-level Honkai energy; Chi You is no exception.
The salvo from the Hundred Gates of the Moon Throne, with its ability to convert Honkai energy into heat, instantly obliterated the entire Chi You. The massive amount of heat left behind created a hole in the sea where Chi You was located, with surrounding seawater constantly pouring into it, and boiling water could be vaguely seen.
The white-haired woman, who had witnessed all of this, sighed as she looked at the scene.
"The mission failed."
—Let's go back a few days.
“Misteline, no... Feathered Rabbit, the organization has a mission for you.”
A hoarse, mechanical voice sounded in her ear, but it didn't change Mistelin's movements in the slightest. She only responded with a low, guttural rebuttal:
“This wasn’t part of our original agreement.”
Several years ago, as a crystallization of the Shaniat Stigmata left behind by Cecilia, in order to implement the Stigmata Project, Gray Serpent invited her to join the World Serpent, codenamed: Feather Rabbit, in exchange for providing her with a place to live and bringing her the death she craved.
Although Yuto is nominally a member of World Serpent, she has never carried out any missions within the organization. She simply waits quietly for her own death in a deserted place arranged by Gray Serpent—the start of Project Stigmata.
“Situations always change very quickly. In order to better implement the Stigmata Project and welcome back the Lord, our agreement needs some minor adjustments.”
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do anything bad. It's just a trip to the Nine Netherworld in the Divine Continent Sea to awaken a giant that has been sleeping for thousands of years."
—Although Gray Serpent’s main objective was indeed the Gem of Desire located in New Zealand, one must always have a backup plan. To avoid a repeat of the situation in Changkong City where he tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice, even though he didn’t think there would be any problems with this attempt to obtain the Gem of Desire, after careful consideration, he set his sights on the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chi You, which was sealed in the Nine Netherworld.
After dealing with this behemoth, we can also restore a significant amount of Honkai energy for the Lord.
"I have no choice either. After all, the organization is short-handed, so we can only rely on you, as a cadre, to do our part."
His hoarse voice carried a hint of helplessness.
Although the World Serpent is actually much stronger than Anti-Entropy, the amount of power it can actually use is not much.
While the Gray Serpent series possesses some combat capabilities, it's nothing special.
The main henchman, Raven, is currently stationed in Changkong City to accompany and watch over that Venerable Lord. Moreover, after the Seven Thunders of Purification were gone, the strength of his adopted daughter has plummeted.
As for Night Owl... wake up, it's still 2014, and World Serpent doesn't even have such a person now.
"Slaying Honkai Beasts that could endanger humanity—for you, as a Saria Crystal, that's a fairly easy task to accept, isn't it?"
The name "Shaniat" means "salvation." For the Stigmata Crystal of Shaniat, resolving and recovering a potential calamity without harming others is indeed within Misterin's acceptable range.
The Grey Serpent, who had a good grasp of Shaniat's psychology, successfully manipulated Mistelin.
Unfortunately, although she did break Chi You's seal, she had no way to kill this colossal Honkai Beast.
Mistelin's innate ability to kill and destroy the uncontrollable is nothing more than a tickle to the terrifyingly large Chi You.
Although she herself possesses strength no less than that of an S-class Valkyrie, Mistelin was completely helpless against Chi You before obtaining highly offensive Divine Keys such as the Judgment of Heavenly Fire and the White Flower of the Black Abyss.
Furthermore, upon noticing the approaching Anti-Entropy warship, she had no choice but to hastily retreat and observe from a distance.
Mistelin originally planned to wait for the arrival of either Anti-Entropy or Destiny to deal with this behemoth, so she could simply pick up the spoils afterward. After all, neither Destiny nor Anti-Entropy possessed the technology to transport such a behemoth, and even if they defeated it, it would only remain in the Nine Netherworld.
result...
Under the bombardment of hundreds of Moon Throne main cannons, the enormous Chi You was blasted into nothingness.
"Forget it, anyway, this was... as they say in China, it was like being forced into something. Since things have come to this, it has nothing to do with me anymore."
Mistelin didn't care about the failure of the retrieval mission. Her main task was simply to awaken and kill Chi You, and doing so in the name of Shaniat was enough. As for the rest... she had absolutely no sense of belonging to her executive codename "Feathered Rabbit" in the World Serpent.
"but--"
“Alexandra’s daughter has grown so much.”
Recalling the silver-haired girl who defeated Chi You, Mistelin couldn't help but sigh.
The superhuman vision granted by the Stigmata Crystal allowed her to see Bronya from an extremely long distance.
In fact, this wasn't the first time she had met Bronya.
Previously, we had only seen these photos through the pictures brought by Gray Snake.
Although she longed to see Alexandra's daughter up close, unfortunately, the characteristics of this body prevented this simple wish from being fulfilled.
But it doesn't matter. Before long, once the Stigmata Project is implemented, Misterine will be able to get rid of this curse on her life—although by then, Misterine will no longer be Misterine.
"She has really grown up a lot."
Thinking of the power that Bronya displayed, I feel more amazed than anything else.
Given that Mistralin is the essence of the Stigmata Crystal, it is not difficult to see that Bronya not only became the Herrscher of Reason, but also overcame obstacles and directly completed the transformation called 'Ascension' before Bronya herself.
"I wonder what kind of expression Alexandra would have if she saw Bronya like this now?"
Mistelin smiled, but her feelings were more or less complicated.
While she was delighted by Alexandra's daughter's astonishing growth, the power of the Herrscher of Reason also made her somewhat...sigh. Although she was more jealous of Joyce, the first Herrscher of Reason who was very similar to herself, the hatred inevitably extended to the successor of the Herrscher of Reason.
The combination of being the daughter of an old friend and the identity of someone she was jealous of overwhelmed the young and naive Mistelin with a mix of emotions.
"I think she'll be smiling."
The abrupt voice responded to Mistelin's question, prompting her to nod in deep agreement, but she immediately sensed something was amiss.
This ship should only have one person on board, right?
—Because of the characteristics of Mistelin's Stigmata Crystal, she cannot use machinery or have anyone by her side, so she can only pilot this specially made ship of the World Serpent alone.
Moreover, the voice, which smelled like baby formula, was somewhat familiar.
