"Big brother, this looks a lot like a magical girl, and they all have unique nicknames!"
Xilin thought about it carefully for a while, and then said it like this.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi chuckled and then explained, "Although magical girls and Valkyries look very similar, they are fundamentally different. At the very least, magical girls don't have to worry about being corrupted by Honkai energy."
Sirin possesses the "Law of Cycles," making her both the first magical girl and the origin of all magical girls.
Therefore, magical girls also use Honkai energy to fight, except...
Qiu Bi will endow magical girls with Herrscher Cores, making them pseudo-Herrschers, thus exempting them from the corruption of Honkai energy.
In addition, Qiu Bi has confirmed the members of the Magical Girl Squad: Sirin, Aurora, Agatha, Galina, and Bella, making a perfect five-person team.
"Cirin, we should go now."
"Big brother, where are we going?"
"Hmm... When you became a Herrscher, you should have had a companion Honkai Beast. Were you able to sense its location?"
"Herrscher? Sirin isn't a Herrscher, she's a magical girl!"
"Alright, alright... Well then, magical girl Sirin-chan, we should go find your friends now."
"Okay! Let's go find Sirin's companions!"
Xilin nodded emphatically, and then a purple hole appeared beneath their feet, instantly swallowing them both.
As a strong feeling of weightlessness washed over him, a wave of nausea surged up, almost causing Qiu Bi to gag.
"Cirin, promise me—never again to tear open the space beneath your feet so easily."
"Huh? But Sirin thinks it's very convenient this way."
"It's convenient, but I can't quite handle it."
Qiu Bi suppressed the feeling of nausea and looked ahead at the "incubation egg" that resembled both a cocoon and an egg.
This is not the "hatching egg" that gave birth to the Emperor-class Honkai Beast "Ashura" in the original work, but the "hatching egg" that gave birth to the Judgment-class Honkai Beast "Benares".
As if sensing Sirin's presence, the "hatching egg" trembled incessantly, seemingly ready to hatch at any moment.
"Big brother, should we wake it up now? Maybe it will attract other people's attention..."
"Just wake him up."
Qiu Bi carried Xilin and slowly walked towards Benares's "incubation egg," saying, "This should be the first member of the Magical Girl Team."
"Hey! Really?"
Sirin was overjoyed, and then asked expectantly, "Will it really be a member of the Magical Girl Squad?"
"Of course, barring any unforeseen circumstances..."
Qiu Bi murmured softly, his eyes fixed on the enormous "hatching egg".
Snapped!
Sirin snapped her fingers, as if triggering some kind of mechanism, causing the "hatching egg" containing Benares to suddenly crack open.
Subsequently, the cracks spread rapidly, densely covering the entire "hatching egg" like a spider web.
Click!
A crisp cracking sound rang out, as if triggering a chain reaction, causing the entire "hatching egg" to shatter instantly.
Its wings spread out like a blanket, blocking out the sunlight that was falling on the earth.
"Roar!"
Benares roared to the heavens, announcing his arrival to the world.
Chapter 18 Bella Benares
Benares roared incessantly, his voice like thunder, seemingly materializing, and scattering the nearby snow.
"Get down!"
Qiu Bi shouted, immediately attracting Benares's attention.
Benares initially didn't want to pay attention to Qiu Bi, but when he sensed that his queen was watching him and that her gaze was gradually becoming gloomy and indifferent, he immediately knelt down and obediently lay down in front of Qiu Bi and Xilin.
Qiu Bi seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked at Xilin in his arms, only to meet Xilin's innocent gaze.
"It doesn't feel like an illusion..."
"Big brother, why are you making it lie down?"
Xilin looked curious and voiced her question.
Qiu Bi carried Xilin toward Benares and then explained, "Of course, it's to make it your true partner!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Bi put down Xilin and then reached out to touch Benares.
Xilin tugged at Qiu Bi's sleeve, watching Benares with curiosity, and began to anticipate what would happen next.
"The contract was actually signed smoothly... Could it be because it lay down earlier? Or is it because Benares is Sirin's companion Honkai Beast?"
Qiu Bi muttered to himself, a hint of doubt creeping into his brow, but he didn't stop what he was doing.
The contract grants—the core of the Herrscher of Thunder!
The next moment, Benares' body shone with a dazzling white light, which was still very noticeable even on the snow-covered ground.
Before long, the white light gradually weakened, eventually revealing Benares, who had transformed into a human form.
At this moment, Benares knelt on one knee in front of Qiu Bi and Xilin, while Qiu Bi's right hand pressed on her head, just like the legendary "Immortal touches my head, and I receive eternal life."
“From this day forward, your name will be ‘Bella’—‘Bella Benares’.”
"Thank you for the name!"
After acquiring the Herrscher Core, Bella not only gained a human body but also the ability to think like a human, shedding her former ignorance and delusion to develop a true "self".
It can be said that Bella is neither a Judgment-class Honkai Beast nor a Herrscher of Thunder, but a special existence somewhere in between.
"Bella, unleash your Honkai energy reaction and let the world know that the Second Herrscher has arrived."
Qiu Bi withdrew his right hand, and did not grant Bella any new abilities for the time being.
Bella nodded respectfully, then released her Honkai energy reaction without reservation, before retracting it three seconds later.
In an instant, both Destiny and Anti-Entropy detected the unknown Herrscher reaction.
……
Tower of Babel.
Siegfried and his allies, who have formed an alliance with Anti-Entropy, are examining the experimental girls one by one, searching for a certain special being.
"How's it going? Did you find it?"
"No, no one here has Honkai energy exceeding the limit."
Einstein shook his head and then put away the items used to detect Honkai energy.
Theresa looked around at the experimental girl, then, as if she had noticed something, she quickly said, "Wait a minute... there's one girl missing—she was a purple-haired girl who seemed very lively."
Theresa was impressed by the purple-haired girl who had previously claimed to be a "magical girl".
"Did we alert her and let her escape ahead of time...?" Einstein sighed silently. "Lord Alliance Leader, can you find her whereabouts?"
"No, she's no longer in the Tower of Babel."
"That would be difficult. Neither Schicksal nor Anti-Entropy's detectors could be fully utilized in Siberia. Slowly searching for the Herrscher's trail would be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Einstein frowned, then took out a vial of pink solution and said, "Miss Theresa, please lend me the Oath of Judah."
"Good, good."
Theresa was about to retrieve the oath of Judah when she was suddenly stopped.
“Miss Theresa, there’s no need to take the oath of Judah. I already know her location.”
"Alliance Leader, you've found her?"
"Hmm, perhaps it's because of her confidence in her strength that she just released a Honkai energy reaction to announce her position to the world."
"In that case, let's go and meet the 'Second Herrscher'."
sound off.
The group immediately rushed to the location of the Honkai energy reaction.
……
Although Qiu Bi was not clear about Siegfried and the others' specific movements, he could vaguely guess what they were up to.
Unfortunately, Siegfried and his men were destined to come up empty-handed.
"My lord, what are your plans?"
Bella stood beside Qiu Bi and Xilin, her brows furrowed with respect and admiration for Qiu Bi.
Qiu Bi gave her a new life, and from now on, Qiu Bi and Xilin will be the two most important people in her life.
"Let's ignore the Valkyries and the Herrscher of Reason for now."
Qiu Bi ignored Siegfried and the others, and then said, "Sirin, next we will fly to the moon and take away the power left behind by 'God'."
"Big brother, where is the moon?"
"The moon is... first fly outside the Earth, then I'll tell you how to find the moon."
Qiu Bi originally wanted to explain it to Xilin in detail, but considering that Xilin had never been exposed to similar knowledge, he decisively gave up the idea of explaining it in detail.
These are things that Xilin can learn gradually after she starts school.
Qiu Bi pondered in his heart, and then entered Xilin's imaginary space.
Patrick had not yet awakened from his slumber, so Qiu Bi ignored him and patiently waited for Celine and Bella to go to the moon.
After receiving instructions from Qiu Bi, Sirin and Bella flew to the moon together, blatantly ignoring Siegfried and the others.
With their strength, Sirin and Bella certainly have the right to disregard Siegfried and the others.
Leaving aside Bella, who is equivalent to the Herrscher of Thunder, Sirin, who is both the Herrscher of Void and the owner of the Law of the Rings, is enough to defeat Siegfried and the others.
