With a glimmer of hope, Sirin spread her arms, bathing herself in the Honkai Energy. Her body, like a raging flood, absorbed all the Honkai Energy into itself.
"It really works! I feel myself slowly detaching from her body. If this continues, I'll soon have a temporary body."
"This is truly an unexpected gain."
She squinted at the two still fighting, unable to resist mocking them again.
"Bai Mo, once I have a new body, you'll be at the end of your rope, and my other half will be with me. No matter the outcome of your battle, the final victory will only belong to me."
Enveloped by Honkai Energy, Sirin felt better than ever. Feeling her body already forming, she couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"I'm finally back. Now, it's time..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was sent flying by a figure that suddenly crashed into her.
Bai Mo, who had been knocked away by the Herrscher of Thunder, crashed onto the ground. In the smoke, she coughed up a mouthful of blood, looked up at the sky, and wiped her mouth.
"Sure enough, it's still too difficult to control her without heavily injuring her. But speaking of heavy injury, my current situation seems more fitting than hers, doesn't it?"
Bai Mo sighed helplessly, but then suddenly felt something was off, as she realized there seemed to be something beneath her.
"Huh? What's this?"
She looked down and picked up the object. It was a small person, somewhat familiar: white hair, glowing wings on its back, and three small short spears.
It was probably only fifty centimeters tall, like a chibi character, or, of course, like a doll.
"Is this Sirin's doll? But why would there be a Herrscher of the Void doll? And it's so realistic."
Bai Mo couldn't help but pinch its chubby little face; it felt very nice.
Seeing the doll's eyes still darting around, Bai Mo poked it out of curiosity.
"Ouch!"
The doll suddenly raised a hand to cover its face, screamed, then gritted its teeth and glared furiously at Bai Mo.
"Hmph! Human! How dare you treat me like this!"
It raised its hand, and several spatial portals appeared before it. Several short spears shot out, hitting Bai Mo's hand.
That's right, just her hand. The short spears were smaller than toothpicks, making Bai Mo feel a tickling sensation.
This time, Bai Mo was stunned, and Sirin was also stunned.
Shaking its body to break free from Bai Mo's grip, it flew to a broken mirror and stared at its tiny reflection, Sirin was dumbfounded.
"How could this happen! Σ(っ °Д° ; )っ"
Sirin pulled at her chubby, adorable face, completely petrified.
"It must be because there isn't enough Honkai Energy. Continue, I can definitely recover."
She spread her hands, and Honkai Energy gathered towards her again, but quickly bounced back.
"What? Is it already full? Can I only absorb this much now? So, I can only reach this state?!"
Looking at her hands, Sirin let out a roar of anger and unwillingness.
But soon, she felt something was off. She looked back and found Bai Mo staring intently at her.
Bai Mo had also sensed it; the black herrscher core was still sealed within her body, but Sirin's will had disappeared.
She hadn't broken free from her control; she had truly appeared outside.
This made Bai Mo breathe a sigh of relief. At least it proved that Sirin hadn't broken free from her control. As for the one in front of her, although she had a rough idea, Bai Mo still wanted to ask.
"Are you... Sirin?"
Sirin crossed her arms, displaying her signature mocking smile.
"What, scared? When I recover my full body, I..."
"You, why is your face red? Hey! You..."
Sirin suddenly panicked because she saw Bai Mo's face seemed a bit red, and she took a step closer, then reached out and grabbed her.
"Hey! What are you doing! Let go of me!"
"Short legs, tiny hands, round face. Such a small Little Sirin, you're so cute now. (◍ ´꒳` ◍)"
Bai Mo ignored Sirin's threats and roars, looking at her and praising her without reservation.
"Cute?! What a joke! Human! Let go of me! Don't touch me! Don't pinch my face! Damn it!!"
This scene looked quite heartwarming, though, perhaps only Bai Mo felt it was heartwarming.
However, this scene quickly disappeared. The Herrscher of Thunder, who had been blown away by the force earlier, returned. Seeing this, she didn't hesitate and unleashed a bolt of lightning!
"Quick, dodge!"
Sirin didn't care what Bai Mo was doing; she now had a body, and she wasn't sure what would happen if she died.
Bai Mo had already sensed the Herrscher of Thunder's arrival, but in her current state, dodging was already difficult.
"Sure enough, is it finally reaching its limit? This is bad."
After today's series of actions, especially separating the herrscher core and sealing Sirin, Bai Mo had exhausted all her energy. She could now be said to be at the end of her rope.
Seeing the massive lightning about to engulf her, it was impossible for Bai Mo to escape. But at this moment, Sirin in her hand raised her hand, gritted her teeth, and a huge spatial portal appeared before them.
The lightning struck down, entering the portal, and finally, exploding in the distance.
Little Sirin gasped for breath, looking up at the sky with a disdainful gaze.
"Don't get too smug! You mere other half!"
"Oh? You are..."
The Herrscher of Thunder looked at Sirin with interest, finally reaching a conclusion.
"Is it a weapon made to imitate the Herrscher of the Void?"
"What did you say?! ٩(๑`^´๑)۶"
Sirin stared directly at the Herrscher of Thunder in the sky. Before she could get angry, she felt herself being grabbed.
"What are you doing!"
She looked back and saw Bai Mo holding her, a smile on her lips.
"Do me a favor."
"What? Are you going to..."
Sirin realized something.
"You wouldn't dare!"
But Bai Mo's actions told her, why wouldn't she dare?
With one hand grabbing Little Sirin and the other holding a sword, Bai Mo charged directly at the Herrscher of Thunder in the air without dodging.
"Then let's see how much you can block."
With a gentle push of her palm, countless bolts of lightning met Bai Mo, but just as they were about to collide, Bai Mo decisively put Little Sirin in front of her.
"Human! You actually dare to use me..."
She wasn't even given time to finish her sentence. Little Sirin could only raise her hand, and spatial teleportation appeared, redirecting the Herrscher of Thunder's attack to the distance.
"Well done."
Bai Mo gave Sirin a thumbs up and rapidly approached the Herrscher of Thunder, stepping on her flying sword. Along the way, any attack was blocked by Little Sirin.
Until they got close, the Herrscher of Thunder drew her long blade.
"Then how will you block this?"
The long sword in her hand glowed golden. Bai Mo moved Little Sirin away and looked at the Herrscher of Thunder.
"Whether I can block it, we'll just have to try."
However, just as they were about to collide, Sirin revealed a smile, a somewhat dangerous smile.
"Since you want to use me, then shouldn't you be prepared to play with fire and get burned?"
She raised her hand, and a spatial portal appeared again. This time it was larger than all the previous ones, directly engulfing the Herrscher of Thunder's entire body.
With a push forward, to Bai Mo's astonished expression, the Herrscher of Thunder was enveloped by the portal, disappearing in front and reappearing behind her.
As the spatial portal behind Bai Mo opened, what followed was an attack from the Herrscher of Thunder.
"I wonder what will happen to me if you die? I suppose I'll return to that girl's body. Although this body is a pity, it doesn't matter."
"Should I thank you, Sirin?"
"Hmm?"
Bai Mo's sudden remark made Sirin pause. It was then that she noticed six swords already prepared behind Bai Mo, blocking the attack.
Bringing the astonished Sirin in front of her, Bai Mo smiled slightly at her: "Of course, I couldn't completely trust you."
After saying that, she turned around and threw Little Sirin out.
"Wait!"
But it was too late. Little Sirin landed directly on the Herrscher of Thunder's face, catching the still-astonished Herrscher of Thunder off guard. As she shrieked and retreated, she released lightning, shocking Little Sirin into continuous spasms.
Seizing this opportunity, Bai Mo took a step forward. Of course, she wouldn't miss this chance.
"Tai Xu Sword God!"
Bai Mo, of course, wasn't trying to kill the Herrscher of Thunder. The truth was that this Sword God appeared on the Herrscher of Thunder's spiritual level. Although Bai Mo didn't have the Feather of Salvation, she could do such a thing, and it wasn't difficult.
When Bai Mo's two fingers touched the Herrscher of Thunder's glabella, on her spiritual plane, that Sword God, which tore through the night, violently severed the Herrscher of Thunder's connection with her core, forcibly taking her offline.
This chaotic scene finally found balance. The Herrscher of Thunder's body went limp, her eyes gradually returned, and finally, Raiden Mei came back.
But because of Bai Mo's strike, she only had time to glimpse Bai Mo's obscured profile before her head tilted and she fell unconscious.
Holding her in her arms, Bai Mo slowly landed, but the moment she touched down, she felt the world spin. Perhaps it was the instant relaxation after intense tension that made her feel incredibly weary.
However, looking at the sleeping Raiden Mei in her arms, a huge weight in Bai Mo's heart finally lifted.
Beside them, Little Sirin lay on the ground with her butt sticking up, still smoking, as if her soul had left her body.
Bai Mo poked her butt with her toe, but there was no reaction. Soon, she noticed her body disappearing, and in a short while, it completely vanished.
But Sirin's will within the black herrscher core returned, which proved that she was fine, just probably didn't want to see Bai Mo again for a while.
Bai Mo didn't have time to deal with this now. At worst, she could apologize to Sirin in the future.
Lowering her head, she looked at the girl in her arms and couldn't help but smile as she spoke.
"Miss Mei, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me in the future."
But the next second, she felt a dangerous aura approaching. Although she had already sensed it, Bai Mo's current physical state was not enough for her to dodge quickly.
With a bang! Bai Mo's head snapped back, and she stumbled back three steps before steadying herself and not falling.
In the distance, a mech emerged from its hiding place, the muzzle of its arm still smoking.
Looking at Bai Mo again, her head was lowered, a drop of blood trickling from her temple, and not far away, a bullet half the size of a fist was now shattered and embedded in the wall bricks.
In a certain mysterious base, those who saw this scene couldn't help but exclaim.
"What kind of monster is that! That was an anti-Honkai bullet that even an Emperor-class Honkai Beast couldn't block! It only left a small wound on her head?"
"No need to be surprised."
The tall woman beside her had a smile on her face.
"Mo Guang? She really is a monster."
"Send out all hidden mechs. Mo Guang is at the end of her rope. Bring her and the Herrscher back."
Following her command, between the surrounding tall buildings, all the hidden Titan Mechs appeared, completely surrounding Bai Mo.
"Anti-Entropy's unmanned Titan Mechs? Then, I don't need to hold back, do I?"
Gently wiping the blood from her temple, Bai Mo slowly ascended with Raiden Mei.
Looking at all the mechs below, her eyes were colder than ever at this moment.
"Letting off some steam occasionally isn't bad either."
"Tai Xu Sword God!"
Three giant swords burning with golden flames appeared above Changkong City...
.....................
"Damn it! That bastard Cocolia! Not only did she not help at the scene! She even attacked Mo Guang!"
Inside the Anti-Entropy Base, a certain red-haired girl almost shattered the table in front of her.
"Doesn't she know that Mo Guang is my person! Attacking a comrade like this, it's just! It makes me so angry!"
Einstein beside her spread one hand.
"Mo Guang hasn't joined our Anti-Entropy. Besides, weren't you unconcerned?"
Tesla snorted coldly.
"I'm just angry. Also, what's the outcome? Mo Guang didn't die there, did she?"
Shaking her head, Einstein's voice was a little strange.
"The result was unexpected, yet it seemed to be within expectations. Cocolia made a wrong judgment, and so did we."
"Thirty Titan Mechs lost contact in an instant. Mo Guang had hidden her true strength from us, and we also misjudged her power, and by a lot."
Returning their gaze to the battlefield, on the flame-scorched ground, shattered mechs were scattered everywhere. Amidst the flames, Bai Mo, holding Raiden Mei, slowly walked away.
Only at the very end, she slightly tilted her head, looking in one direction.
In the distance, a girl with twin pigtails, hidden in the shadows, locked eyes with Bai Mo on the battlefield...
