Watching Fu Hua disappear so quickly, Himeko stood still for a long time.
She hadn't expected this respected senior to start cutting corners.
She had always heard that this senior was the most honest.
"Well, whatever. It doesn't matter."
Himeko slung her greatsword over her shoulder and slowly walked to the Hyperion's hatch.
"Now, it's time for our battle."
Leaping from the Hyperion, Himeko cut through Honkai beasts as if they were vegetables.
Finally, she reached the center of Schicksal's airspace.
There, Sirin was preparing to destroy Schicksal.
Seeing a new ant arrive, Sirin stopped summoning meteors and turned to Himeko.
"I know you. You're this body's teacher. If I kill you, will she finally give up resisting?"
"You can try. But I will save my student."
"Hahaha—! Before you, another Herrscher tried and failed. What can a mere ant like you do?"
Snap!
"Imaginary Descent!"
In an instant, the space shifted, and Sirin dragged Himeko into the Imaginary Space.
"Come, let me see your final struggle. Do your best to entertain me."
Looking down at Himeko with disdain, Sirin sat high in the sky like a god.
She regarded everything with contempt.
"Hmph, let me show you if this ant can bite you to death."
Using the power of the Godslayer Armor, Himeko charged at Sirin with incredible speed.
Seeing this, Sirin showed a hint of interest.
But just as Himeko was about to reach her, Sirin raised her hand and opened her palm.
Himeko was instantly repelled by an invisible force.
"Damn it, I can't escape being sliced apart."
Himeko, now flying backward, sighed in resignation.
She had wanted to avoid the pain, but it seemed inevitable.
As expected, Sirin summoned two cubes that enveloped Himeko.
Then, she transformed two Void Lances into Void Ribbons, slicing the cube into pieces.
Like a Rubik's Cube, Sirin twisted the sliced cube with her fingers.
One could imagine that if a normal person were inside, they would have been diced into eight pieces.
Seeing this, Sirin turned away.
"Ants are just ants. Not even worth my momentary interest. Hmph~☆."
With a flick of her hair, Sirin prepared to leave.
But then, she felt a searing heat from behind.
Instinctively, she created a spatial barrier with Void Lances to block it.
However, the flying sword didn't stop as Sirin expected. It pierced through the barrier.
Realizing this, Sirin quickly lowered her head. The sword missed her head and struck an Imaginary Cube behind her.
This infuriated Sirin.
"You dare make me bow my head, ant? You deserve death!"
With that, Sirin stopped holding back.
Hundreds of spatial portals opened around Himeko, each filled with Void Lances.
"Is it your turn again? No, it's mine now. Your attack is over. Now, it's my turn!"
"Die!"
With Sirin's roar, countless Void Lances shot out from the portals.
Himeko didn't retreat. Instead, she recalled the sword embedded in the Imaginary Cube.
As the sword returned to her, Himeko channeled all her power into the Godslayer Greatsword.
A torrent of flames gathered on the blade, and Himeko charged forward.
Seeing this, Sirin concentrated all her power into a single point and shot it directly at Himeko.
When you wake up, Kiana, you'll see that everything has changed. You'll find that this world is no longer beautiful. The ordinary days will be gone forever. But don't give up. Never give up, Kiana. Lift your head and keep moving forward. Turn this imperfect story into what you desire.
With this thought, Himeko no longer treated this as a script.
She genuinely wished this for Kiana.
Seeing her strongest attack being broken by Himeko, Sirin's pupils shrank in shock.
As the flames approached her, Sirin prepared for death once more.
But then, she felt no pain.
Opening her eyes slightly, she saw Himeko had plunged the greatsword into the ground behind her, looking at her without attacking.
"Live, Kiana. This is... the final lesson."
Seeing this, Sirin felt a mix of shame and anger.
She pushed Himeko away with force.
Himeko, unable to resist, fell to the ground.
Due to the angle, Himeko began sliding backward.
I really... want to have one last drink.
As she fell into the Imaginary Space, this was Himeko's final thought.
At that moment, a golden light flashed. A train suddenly appeared, and without anyone noticing, a pink-haired figure emerged and caught the falling Himeko. Then, the train vanished.
Meanwhile, Sirin felt her Honkai energy rapidly draining.
She touched the back of her neck and pulled out an empty syringe.
Instantly, she realized she had been tricked.
"Aaaaaah—!"
Feeling another personality trying to take over her body, Sirin screamed in agony.
As her control over the body slipped, Kiana quickly used the Herrscher of the Void's authority to teleport herself away.
...
"Hey, hey, beautiful lady, time to wake up~?."
"Ugh, it hurts... Sigh, that Kiana really went all out."
Hearing this voice, Himeko clutched her head and slowly sat up.
She couldn't help but complain about Sirin.
Then, she realized she was sitting on a large white bed, her injuries completely healed.
Most importantly, her clothes had been changed.
"Hey, Senior Chang Yuan, did you change my clothes? You'll have to take responsibility for this~."
"Hey, hey, Yuan is mine! And I was the one who changed your clothes. Don't steal him from me~?."
Hearing Himeko demand responsibility from her Yuan, Elysia immediately spread her arms protectively in front of Chang Yuan, fiercely guarding what was hers.
