The Herrscher of the Void kept her eyes open while she was being kissed.
Her brilliant golden irises, as clear as glass, reflected Ye Feng's face.
The Queen could no longer maintain her imposing and proud demeanor; her expression was a mixture of shock and fury.
She was the messenger of God, the Herrscher sent to cleanse this sullied world.
And yet… she was being defiled by the man before her.
Most shamefully, her body was actually reacting?
Why?
She should have long since evolved into a higher life form, transcending the limits of lowly carbon-based organisms.
Why was she still having the conditioned reflexes of an ordinary young girl?
---o---
Ye Feng pulled his lips away from the Herrscher of the Void's. In the space between their faces, Kiana's bewildered expression appeared.
Ye Feng raised a finger and gently wiped the Herrscher of the Void's tender, cherry-pink lips.
"You can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to your body's instincts. There's no need to feel ashamed; you simply haven't explored this deeply before. Whether it's a Valkyrie, a Herrscher, or even a Honkai zombie, they all still fall within the category of human."
"Nonsense!"
The Herrscher of the Void wanted to resist. She never liked to argue.
After all, violence could convince anyone of anything.
But not today. Today, the Herrscher of the Void was utterly defeated.
Her four limbs were broken, her energy had dissipated, and her core had been inexplicably sealed.
She could only writhe her body like a human stump.
"Then you should know what an orgasm is, right?"
"?"
"If a Herrscher were truly a higher-dimensional life form, distinct from humans, then surely it wouldn't experience such a base form of pleasure, would it?"
"You…"
"Herrscher of the Void. If you can truly guard your heart under my assault, then I will acknowledge that you are indeed a higher life form."
"I don't need your acknowledgment."
"You're just scared, aren't you? You already know you'll lose."
The Herrscher of the Void's eyes locked onto Ye Feng with a sharp glint. "Ridiculous. What a foolish human.[God]has bestowed upon me supreme power—"
"Supreme? Then why are you lying on my bed with your limbs broken?"
"…"
The Herrscher of the Void was choked into silence.
Ye Feng lifted her fair, delicate leg and chuckled. "I'm a person who believes in settling scores. You've stabbed me so many times, so I definitely have to stab you back. Therefore, why don't you maximize your own benefit?"
"Maximize my benefit? What good would it do me for you to admit I'm not human?"
"Because I only fuck 'humans'. If I classify you as 'non-human,' I might just lose interest in you. You could do whatever you want, and I wouldn't stop you. When it comes down to it, are you worried about your chastity? That isn't a question a Herrscher should be thinking about, is it? That's a question for humans, who have formed a value system of morality and ethics."
"…"
The Herrscher of the Void's brain seemed to crash.
But thinking about it carefully… what he said seemed to make sense?
Was chastity something a Herrscher should be concerned with?
Why should she care about humanity's value system?
But still… it was truly difficult to accept.
The idea of letting that thing go in and out of her body was utterly repulsive.
Giving the Herrscher of the Void no time to think, Ye Feng pressed on, "Herrscher of the Void, you don't want to be looked down upon, do you?"
"Boring."
The Herrscher of the Void stared at Ye Feng imperiously. Even now, she refused to show the slightest weakness.
There was no escape anyway.
Since that was the case…
"Then let me see what you're truly capable of," the Herrscher of the Void said proudly, full of confidence in herself.
Kiana watched the two on the bed, her fingers constantly twirling the strands of hair by her ear.
"Wait."
Feeling the figure pressing down on her, the Herrscher of the Void turned her head to look at Kiana.
"Make her leave."
"Why the hell should I leave!?"
Hearing the Herrscher of the Void's demand, Kiana's temper flared up instantly.
Wormy planted her hands on her hips, looking down on her condescendingly.
"Have you not figured out the situation? I'm the one who asked Ye Feng to deal with you."
"Oh~~"
The Herrscher of the Void's eyes narrowed into dangerous slits as she stared at Kiana.
"So it was you."
"Hmph, now you know!"
Ye Feng turned his head, a faint, teasing smile on his face as he looked at Kiana. "Are you sure you want to observe from here?"
"Of- of course."
Kiana said, "…Familiarizing myself with the nature of a Herrscher is an important part of the process."
"Is that really it?"
"What else could it be?"
"Alright then."
Ye Feng added, "Kiana won't just get turned on from watching, will she?"
"Huh? How could I? I'm a knight of House Kaslana."
"Is that so? I'll take your word for it, Kiana."
Ye Feng smiled and picked up the Herrscher of the Void's beautiful foot.
Her legs were the perfect combination of plump fleshiness and the slender grace of a lotus root. They felt soft, smooth, and tender in his hand, as if filled with the finest creamy junket.
One leg wore only a garter ring, while the other was clad in white silk. The snowy-white limb, as warm as fine jade, looked even more delicate and firm wrapped in the semi-sheer white stocking.
Ye Feng lifted her slender, silk-clad leg slightly. Her petite, pink foot, as exquisite as an ice lotus, tensed up, its freshly-peeled-lychee-like toes curling adorably. Through the transparent white silk, the tender red of her sole was still visible.
"First, let me reattach your leg. I'll teach you how to use it—Tsk! You kick me right after I put it back? If you don't behave, I won't be so gentle anymore, you know?"
"…Despicable human."
"I'm about to get even more despicable."
The Herrscher of the Void turned her head away, allowing Ye Feng to handle her bare foot and silk-clad leg.
The Queen had her pride. She would never cooperate!
"Forget it, I'll just do it myself."
---o---
Melodious music drifted from the record player on the antique mahogany coffee table.
「Smile,~」
「Though your heart is aching~」
「Smile,~」
「Even though it's breaking~」
…
...
At the crack of dawn, a thin mist hung in the air.
A light was still on in one of the rooms in the Valkyrie dormitory.
The Herrscher of the Void stared blankly at the ceiling, her right leg hanging limply off the side of the bed. Her snow-white skin was slick with sweat, glistening with a crystalline sheen.
She could no longer tell if she was an ordinary human girl or God's messenger who wielded great authority.
Kiana, on the other hand, looked rather listless.
She stood by the bed. Although she hadn't participated in the great battle, her clothes were also soaked with sweat.
"Kiana, was it a good show?"
"It was so-so."
Kiana waved her hand dismissively. "See? She's still not convinced. Your method doesn't work at all."
"Hehe, the trope of conquering a girl with just your dick is something out of a manga. How could that happen in real life? But speaking of which, you left twice in the middle of it. What were you doing?"
"Huh? I- I went to the bathroom."
Kiana said, her eyes darting away.
"Sigh."
"What are you sighing for!" Kiana bluffed.
"Kiana, you need to quit being lewd."
"!!!"
Wormy's whole body shuddered. Her face turned blood-red, and the tips of her ears burned hot.
"You bastard! I told you I just went to the bathroom!"
Ye Feng pointed at Kiana's lower abdomen. "Lift up your shirt and take a look."
"What now?"
Kiana lifted her shirt and looked down at her stomach. In the center of the honeysuckle pattern, the number that was once a 0 had now glaringly become a 2.
"…"
"…"
