Chapter 330: Subduing the Ice Herrscher
Back to the present, after several rounds of comprehensive searches, the captain did not find any suspicious persons, but the less he found, the more he felt something was wrong.
The captain believed Ai's warning to him without a doubt. After all, he thought there was no need for Ai to play pranks in such a place.
We haven't found the other party yet after such a thorough search, so I'm afraid their strength should not be underestimated.
After a brief fight on the other side, the Herrscher of Ice summoned an ice wall to block the way of Mei and the others, allowing them to escape temporarily.
In order to prevent the opponent from escaping next time, Night Owl proposed to use the restriction device [Yellow Spring Staff] provided by the Jackal for the Herrscher's core, which would not kill the Herrscher but could greatly restrict her actions.
And after the fight just now, Mei understood that although the body of the Valkyrie named Anna had been completely corroded, her heart was still resisting collapse.
Neither her self-awareness nor hers-ruler consciousness can take control of her body, so she becomes irrational.
After listening to Mei's description, Ye Xiao was very surprised that Anna was still fighting against the Honkai in such a situation.
As a member of the World Serpent, he also knew the core content of this battle plan, but he was skeptical about the matter of [inciting rebellion] of the Herrscher, not to mention that Anna was a particularly important person to him.
Therefore, Night Owl had to prepare for the worst. Without Mei and Raven noticing, he silently felt the core in his body.
The core is called the Herrscher of the Stars. Although it is in a closed state now, he can open it at any time and use the power of the Herrscher of the Stars.
Ye Xiao recalled a strange dream he had not long ago. In the dream, a mysterious man whose face could not be seen injected the core directly into his body and said to him.
"This power can save the most important girl in your heart at a critical moment. Don't worry, as long as you don't use it deliberately, this core will not be discovered by anyone."
Then, when Night Owl was confused, the mysterious man disappeared without even introducing himself.
When Night Owl woke up, he was surprised to find that he could really feel the power in his body, but he would not use it or test it immediately.
He understood the horror of the World Serpent Lord, and he did not trust his colleagues very much. If he used him rashly, it would be more trouble than gain.
So Ye Xiao didn't tell anyone about this...
Of course, he couldn't possibly believe that the mysterious man would use this power of unknown origin casually.
Unless it is absolutely necessary...
Mei and the others then encounter the Herrscher of Ice again in the garden of the Coral Island Orbital Elevator Facility.
A magnificent orbital elevator rises into the sky. It is the banner of this city and the crystallization of human technology. It is where the Earth's civilization will set sail to explore the universe.
However, this staircase leading to Hongyu fell into disaster before it was completed and turned into a cradle for the Herrschers.
Night Owl will set the trap, Mei will be responsible for luring the Herrscher of Ice to the correct location, and Raven will cover Mei from a distance and notify Kiana and Fu Hua, the Herrscher of Consciousness, to come over.
After a fierce battle, Mei Raiden led the Herrscher to the correct position, and Night Owl took this opportunity to successfully use the Staff of Hades to temporarily paralyze the Herrscher of Ice.
Although in the original plan, Night Owl intended to use the Staff of the Underworld to paralyze Mei Raiden, and then sneak attack Raven and run away with Anna.
But later, through the intelligence organization in the World Serpent, it was learned that there were many Herrschers fighting for humanity in St. Freya's Academy, and none of them were controlled by the Honkai.
Ye Xiao also believed that it was not a fantasy to make Anna regain her sanity.
He really couldn't bear to see Anna in pain, he wanted to save Anna, so Ye Xiao chose to believe Mei and the others.
Of course, he doesn't completely believe it because there is a risk of failure. Night Owl will always be ready to activate the power of the Herrscher of the Stars.
"Mei, we're here!"
After temporarily controlling the Herrscher of Ice, an imaginary space appeared behind Mei Raiden, and Kiana, Xiao Shi and Fu Hua walked out of it.
Raiden Mei: "Kiana, I'll leave it to you guys from now on."
After Kiana assured Mei that she could leave the task to her, she walked up to the Ice Herrscher and released the power of the Saint to comfort the Herrscher and purify her.
Fu Hua and Xiao Shi are also using their abilities to [persuade] Anna.
Raiden Mei took this opportunity to ask Raven, "Raven, do you know Chen Tianwu?"
……
Before heading to the location of the Ice Ruler, the captain spoke to her.
Captain: "Mei, Ai told me that you will be ambushed by a man named Chen Tianwu during the battle with the fifth Herrscher, and that Chen Tianwu is another Herrscher that will be born during this Honkai outbreak."
"But I'm sorry to tell you that I spent an entire night searching but couldn't find out who this Chen Tianwu was or what he looked like. It was as if all the information about him had been deliberately erased, and I couldn't find anything from Ai Yi either."
"Although the Herrscher core seems to have been stolen by someone else in some way, it is unlikely that Chen Tianwu's man can become a Herrscher. However, I still hope that Mei will pay attention to your surroundings during the next battle. After all, safety comes first."
After the call ended, Mei Raiden's first suspect was the Night Owl she had just met. After all, the name [Chen Tianwu] sounded like a male.
In the confrontation with the Herrscher of Ice, Mei Raiden was always on guard against Night Owl. In the end, she was not attacked and began to gradually dispel her doubts.
When Raven heard Mei asking her about the name [Chen Tianwu], she frowned slightly and asked back, "Chen Tianwu? Why are you asking this?"
Mei thought about it and decided to tell Raven the news that the captain had told her. Suddenly, Night Owl came over and asked, "Excuse me, what does the eldest lady of the Raiden family want to talk to me about?"
Mei Raiden was surprised and asked, "Are you really Chen Tianwu?!"
Night Owl, whose real name is Chen Tianwu, looked at Mei's reaction with some confusion, "Why? Are you surprised that I'm Chen Tianwu?"
Raven "So what's the problem with that? My lady?"
Mei Raiden: "To be honest, the captain just told me that a man named Chen Tianwu will be the second Herrscher born in this Honkai explosion, and he will also launch a sneak attack on us in the battle just now..."
Mei Raiden told them what she knew.
Chen Tianwu: "It's really surprising. Putting aside the question of whether I will become a Herrscher, to be honest, I do have the idea of betraying you."
Raven: "Oh, why?"
Chen Tianwu: "...Anna is a very important person to me..."
During the conversation, Kiana also completed the [rebellion] of the Ice Herrscher.
