Chapter 84 Look at what you've done!
Qiong himself knew that his longest-term plan was to lie down until the Great Collapse ended, which meant that there was nothing he particularly wanted to protect.
Without something to protect, lacking the will to preserve, neither the Flame Spear nor the Amber King will approve.
If it's not recognized, then the Flame Spear is just an ordinary lance, not even as good as a baseball bat!
Wait, does protecting one's peaceful life count as fulfilling one's destiny?
I glanced at the still-silent Flame Spear; it was no use.
"Sigh, this won't work."
You can't exactly try to inject the power that destroys destiny into it, can you?
With a flick of his wrist, the flaming spear transformed into a baseball bat—the greatest benefit of this little discovery was that he would never have to worry about where to put his weapons again.
"A very special ability; the speed of switching weapons is actually faster than 0.1 seconds."
By transmitting signals through a specially designed camera, Einstein and others were able to see the two men's every move.
"But why did Qiong change his baseball bat again?"
Walter was completely baffled by this.
---------------
"Miss Yae Sakura, do you have any objections?"
Yae Sakura shook her head.
"If it's about fighting against the Herrscher, I don't know what to do."
"Why did we agree to them! Let's get out of here! If we keep getting closer, this new Herrscher will definitely target us too! With our remaining strength, fighting a Herrscher is a death sentence!"
"roll!"
Shaking Hiyomaru's voice from her mind, Yae Sakura looked ahead. Kyō was gripping the baseball bat tightly with both hands, then poked at the vines.
Hmm, they're soft. It seems they're not very flexible when they're away from the Herrscher.
"What are you doing? Be careful."
The people from Anti-Entropy had said before that this thing was poisonous and should not be touched, but Qiong still didn't believe them and touched it anyway.
"It's alright, it's alright. It's just a few vines, not a Herrscher. I know what I'm doing."
"I hope you really know what's good for you..."
Taking out the Honkai Energy Detector given to her by Dr. Lobster, Qiong began searching for the location of the pseudo-Herrscher.
According to Tesla, the Herrscher is essentially a walking, high-concentration Honkai energy storage device, so the area with the highest Honkai energy concentration is more likely to have a Herrscher.
The highest concentration was found on the rooftop of a teaching building at Chiba Academy...
--------------
Sato Yuno, or rather, the pseudo-Poison Law, found herself unable to fully absorb the energy here, as if there was another entity competing with her for the limited energy.
But she believed that being in the place with the most concentrated energy, she must have received the most essential part, and she felt that she had become much stronger than before.
"That feels so good~ But let's wait a bit before continuing."
Besides absorbing the energy here, she had other things to do, such as dismantling this heavy cross.
Sato Yuno couldn't understand how it took dozens of her newly formed, thickest vines to barely lift such a small cross.
But she still carried the cross all the way to the rooftop. Even though she had become incredibly powerful, the weapon still gave her a vague sense of threat. It was time to dismantle it.
With a thought, several vines as hard as iron slammed down on Judah's oath. According to Sato's plan, Judah should be torn to pieces, right?
However, nothing happened. What cracked was the vine that she had frantically stretched to become harder for aggressive purposes, making it incredibly brittle. Judas wasn't even scratched...
"How is this possible! Let's do it again!"
Five minutes later, she gave up.
Because in those five minutes, she used up countless vines, far more than Theresa had broken yesterday! And the result was that we failed to scratch the enemy's armor.
After all, the Oath of Judah is made of Soul Steel, which is difficult for even a Herrscher to damage, let alone a mere pseudo-Herrscher.
"Damn it, I must not be strong enough... I can't even destroy a single cross, how am I supposed to cleanse the world?!"
"It's very simple, how about laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot?"
"Who's there!"
------------
"The rift has disappeared..."
For Qiong, there are two possibilities in the current situation.
One possibility is, as Lao Yang optimistically speculates, that without the support of a star core, the rift itself could no longer exist and has vanished without a trace.
Another scenario is that the rift collapses without the support of the star's core, but the energy does not disappear; the imaginary energy rapidly degrades and assimilates with the Honkai energy...
Despite the slim chances, Qiong still intends to negotiate with the other party.
"Yuno Sato, right? Stop making this mistake and stop!"
"You bunch of hypocrites who don't even dare to show your faces, die!"
It's not his fault that he doesn't dare to show his face; it's just that the air is toxic.
Kiyoshi used a baseball bat to knock away a vine, realizing that the negotiations had broken down.
"Miss Yae Sakura, let's make our move!"
Sato Yuno's offensive methods are actually very simple: she poisons the air and carries poison through vines. Sora, who is wearing a gas mask, only needs to worry about not being hit by the poisonous vines.
With Yae Sakura wielding a katana nearby, poisoning was virtually impossible.
"Accept!"
Qiong dodged the vines' attack and took the initiative to attack.
"A decisive blow!"
Thanks to the specially designed hard and brittle type created by Sato Yuno herself, Sora easily shattered most of the Poison Law protective vines.
"Why would we need a Flame Spear? She's much easier to deal with than Mei! Rules are meant to be..."
No skill or the right weapon is needed; the enemy is no match for her. If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, Sora wouldn't mind opening a bottle of champagne for Himeko.
As for himself? He doesn't drink.
It can only be said that Theresa underestimated her opponent. She could have easily defeated a mere pseudo-Herrscher without Yae Sakura by herself.
"Broken!"
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I surrender!"
Just when she was about to deliver the final blow, Sato Yuno showed a look of fear and took the initiative to make peace.
"Qiong, stop. She's like me, I understand her pain, there's still hope for her..."
Yae Sakura's words slowed down the speed at which Sora unleashed her staff, and Sato Yuno seized the opportunity to roll away from the attack range.
"There is no way I will surrender! This world is full of filth; only through destruction can it be reborn!"
The roaring venomous law swept all the vines toward the two of them.
This was a crazy decision, because if it failed, the two of them, once they recovered, would tear her to pieces without the vines.
"you!"
Because she herself was a Herrscher, Yae Sakura even planned to persuade Sora not to kill Herrschers.
It seems I was just being delusional.
Sato Yuno's madness caused hundreds of vines to appear in front of Sora. In an instant, a hundred vines appeared, startling Sora, who had originally been confident of victory.
"Wow! I have trypophobia!"
For safety, Kyō had to run back a few steps to Yae Sakura's side. The two of them back to back were much safer than him venturing alone.
"What are you yelling about? Wouldn't it have been better to let that kid do it? Herrschers can't be friends! We all need Honkai energy. Every bite she takes is a bite less for us. Don't you understand that? Or are you just that lonely? So lonely that you want to pick a Herrscher-form girl to keep you company? Look at what you've done! Now look what happened! Originally, killing that Herrscher would have helped us recover with her released power, but now? I don't know if that kid is dead or not, but with our limited power, we're definitely going to die!"
