Chapter 185 184: The Herrscher of Sentience: So, I Made My Move
[Galactic Baseballer]: "Family, who wants to come daydreaming?"
[The Destroyer]: "What, am I not comfortable dreaming at home? Why would I go all the way to your world to dream?"
[Dian Mei Ruan]: "Stelle, are you talking about that Planet of Festivities, Penacony?"
Ruan Mei had heard of that world filled with Memoria. Although she had never been, her name was on the permanent VIP list. This was a privilege for members of the Genius Club, and also a kind of investment. However, most members of the Genius Club were busy with their research and wouldn't go to a world of dreams for enjoyment.
[Galactic Baseballer]: "That's right, it's Penacony. Ruan Mei, that patient with Entropy Loss Syndrome wants to meet you. Should she go find you, or will you be coming to Penacony?"
[Star Forger]: "If I remember correctly, the depths of Penacony are related to the Swarm of Propagation."
[Star Forger]: "@Dian Mei Ruan Ruan Mei, has the Swarm Empress contacted you recently?"
[Dian Mei Ruan]: "No. She is likely hiding somewhere, digesting that portion of power."
[Shadowkhan Queen]: "A world of dreams? That sounds so cool! Count me in!"
[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Kenji, the order of the Herrschers' appearance is different from what you said."
The Herrscher of Domination had already come out, but the Herrscher of Sentience had not yet appeared. Had the Honkai adjusted the difficulty on its own?
[Star Forger]: "I'll find you a helper. If the next one is the Herrscher of Sentience, this person will be a heavenly counter to her."
[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Heehee, alright ♪."
She had swallowed all the Herrscher Cores, so there were no powerful new Divine Keys being born. Thus, she was the main force against every Herrscher. Kevin could help her, but the others didn't get a chance to fight the Herrschers; their numbers were limited, so they weren't needed. After dealing with this upcoming Herrscher, she would go and have fun with Kenji.
Penacony.
"This lack of a sense of direction is on another level."
Kenji stood on a rooftop, watching Acheron walk in circles, utterly speechless. She had already passed that same signpost five times. How was that even possible?
"Acheron, where are you trying to go?" Kenji couldn't help but interrupt her circling.
"You're Kenji?!" Acheron thought for a moment. The resonance of the starfire allowed her to recall her past experiences. "I'm not doing anything. Just looking for any trace of the Galaxy Rangers."
Acheron shook her head. If not for a request she had accepted, a Self-Annihilator like her would never have come to the Planet of Festivities, Penacony.
"If you're not in a hurry, I'll take you to a place. I need your help," Kenji said.
Acheron nodded. She was indeed not in a hurry.
Taking Acheron with him, Kenji arrived in the Previous Era of the Honkai world.
"Ellie, this is the expert who can deal with the Herrscher of Sentience," Kenji said, pushing Acheron in front of Elysia.
"'Origin'?" Acheron tilted her head, a confused and cute expression on her face. The katana she used now was "Naught." Its predecessor was the sword that carried the world's sorrows, "Origin." After it broke in a clash with "End," her tears of blood had dripped onto the broken blade, forging "Naught."
From Elysia, she sensed an aura similar to her old sword, "Origin."
"Elysia, this is the helper you found?"
Kevin crossed his arms and leaned against a wall. To be honest, he was a bit baffled. Why did this woman look so much like MEI? He had never heard that MEI had any sisters.
"White-haired Oni?" Acheron looked at Kevin, paused for a moment, and blurted out the name.
"Hey, hey, hey! My name is Kevin! What kind of strange name is 'White-haired Oni'?" Kevin said, speechless.
"Sorry." Acheron knew this was not that White-haired Oni, but a similar counterpart.
"Ellie, publicize Acheron's existence. The stronger she seems, the better," Kenji said.
The one in charge of the Fire Moths now was MEI. Those insects (the higher-ups) had all been taken care of.
"Alright, leave it to Ellie ♪" Elysia blinked and gave a wink.
Elysia directly logged into the Fire Moths' official account and began to operate. Soon, Acheron's fame had spread throughout the world. This was the power of a Fire Moth that wasn't bogged down by internal strife. Acheron also demonstrated her power, for example, by instantly killing a giant Emperor-class Honkai beast, which caused a sensation online.
Half a month later.
A terrifying psychic power erupted in various bases of the Fire Moths. It was detected by the psionic-type MANTIS soldiers and the monitoring devices. Even so, many staff members with insufficient mental strength fell into a coma.
"Elysia, can this Acheron really defend against psychic attacks?" Kevin asked. He had challenged Acheron during this time and had been defeated in a single slash. He sincerely admired this level of combat power. It was a good thing MEI didn't have this kind of strength; otherwise... just the thought of it made him shiver.
"Relax. Believe in Acheron. She'll definitely be fine," Elysia said with a smile.
At this moment, Acheron was walking through the corridors of the Fire Moths with a somewhat wooden expression. The previous psychic shock had had no effect on her.
Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in front of Acheron. Although its face couldn't be seen, one could feel an extremely confident aura. It felt as if she were smiling. Acheron just looked at her calmly. What Kenji had told her to do was to do nothing at all, just wait for the Herrscher of Sentience to come to her.
"Is this the powerhouse the Fire Moths have been hyping up?"
"She doesn't look like anything special."
"Hahaha! My fellow Herrschers are so useless, to be defeated one by one by the Fire Moths." The Herrscher of Sentience let out a healthy laugh.
In another space, Kenji was watching, his expression strange. That laugh was indeed very healthy. It had a hint of Little Senti to it.
"They're all no good. So useless. Can't even take care of a single traitor. Bunch of scrubs."
The defeated Herrschers: We were fighting a multi-core Herrscher of Origin!
"So, I made my move."
The Herrscher of Sentience was very confident in its power over consciousness. The traitor wasn't here, but even if she were, her methods couldn't attack consciousness.
The blurry figure directly entered Acheron's consciousness. Acheron had no intention of stopping it; there was absolutely no need. As the Herrscher of Consciousness, to kill an enemy, one naturally had to kill them in the domain of consciousness.
A battle of consciousness... the advantage is mine.
Kenji's inner thought: The Herrscher of Sentience has great insight.
Kenji admired this Herrscher. Without even probing, it had chosen to deliver itself to her door. So confident. Did the Herrschers of the Previous Era also have the inflation attribute of a pufferfish? He had brought Acheron to the Previous Era because her Nihility attribute was a hard counter to consciousness. But he hadn't expected the Herrscher of Sentience to fall for it so easily, entering Acheron's consciousness with its own conscious body.
The last person who had dared to do that had had their goose feathers plucked. Right, you goose in jail?
