The puppets in the theater lost control, scattering into commonplace parts like any ordinary dolls.
And on the girl with the twin drills, the arrogant aura of madly increasing power filled Bronya Zaychik with unimaginable confidence.
She now possessed the powers of both the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Domination, reaching her strongest form ever.
A thousand times the Thousand-strong Herrscher plus an incomplete Herrscher of Reason!
Powerful! Confident! Arrogant!
The power of the Herrscher of Reason reconstructed everything. With a single thought, the Herrscher girl, who had changed into a new blue and white dress, was thrilled.
"Is this the complete power of a Herrscher?"
From undercover agent to the boss of the Thousand Herrschers, and then to the sole Thousand-strong Herrscher.
The transformations were not easy, but the final result was very gratifying.
She had finally succeeded! She had successfully obtained the power to challenge the Inner World Protagonist and protect her sister Seele Vollerei from under this guy's jeans!
"Are you prepared? Brian!"
Her fighting spirit soared!
Only Li Sushang hadn't reacted at all.
"What... what on earth happened?"
Those annoying puppets vanished in an instant, and the gloomy, oppressive atmosphere in the theater seemed to dissipate a lot.
The master of this place seemed to have left, leaving only uninvited guests like them to run rampant.
And then there was this Bronya, who had suddenly become stronger, strong enough to even have a fight with her pre-ambush self...
"Hey! What the hell are you little shorty up to?"
Li Sushang questioned.
"Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Even when facing a stronger opponent, young Brian remained as calm as ever.
Perhaps it wasn't calmness, but a fighting spirit completely different from Bronya's that was soaring!
Li Sushang blushed a little.
"Bronya became the Herrscher of Domination, but she promptly abandoned the darkness for the light, becoming my undercover agent planted among this rabble."
"And... and the result?"
Li Sushang was becoming more and more uncomfortable.
She was caught between these two Herrschers who were about to have a great battle, suffering the impact of their powerful fighting spirit.
And to top it off, she had been ambushed by those despicable puppets earlier, leaving her so weak she didn't have a shred of strength.
The Inner World Protagonist had a serious expression, ignoring Bronya's increasingly contemptuous gaze: "Then we reached a consensus. I lent her the power of the Herrscher of Reason, and she was responsible for sending all the Herrschers of Domination to their deaths."
The power of the Thousand Herrschers had been taken away. These now-threatless individuals were just one step away from losing their lives.
Of course, in theory, the Thousand Herrschers still had a chance to regain their power, as long as Bronya was willing to share the power within her body.
But neither Brian nor Bronya had any such intention.
The great Bronya Zaychik had helped the Thousand Herrschers so much, her kindness could never be repaid!
Since it couldn't be repaid, then let it be repaid with this Herrscher's power!
"So this was all a conspiracy you two planned!"
The powerless Swordswoman of Shenzhou's face was flushed, feeling as though she had fallen into a flower-plucking thief's trap.
Bronya shook her head: "This was a plan, but it was my plan alone."
"To deceive our enemies, we must first deceive our own comrades."
"The Thousand-strong Herrscher are numerous, and I didn't know how many were around us. For the plan to be an absolute success, even this guy only knew parts of it, receiving my notifications occasionally."
A meticulous plan, cautious thinking...
Even an ally like Li Sushang was deceived, with only Brian knowing parts of the plan. It was no wonder Bronya was able to achieve the success she had hoped for.
However...
"Your plan isn't just this, is it?"
The killing intent and fighting spirit emanating from the Inner World Protagonist had already told Li Sushang everything.
If there wasn't some other hidden story, there was absolutely no way it would have excited this guy to such an extent.
He couldn't wait to fight, fight, fight, and rape, rape, rape!
The first to bear the brunt would be either Bronya, the main culprit, or herself, the pitiful victim of circumstance.
Li Sushang could already imagine herself, framed by treacherous villains, being violated by the despicable lecher in this private Theater of Domination.
She had intended to just consider herself bitten by a dog, but her waistline had unknowingly grown fuller, her growing belly impossible to hide, a fact that the Herrscher of Sentience would loudly proclaim.
Her reputation would be ruined, and she would have to submit to this lecher's jeans for the sake of the child in her belly.
At the thought of such a possibility, Li Sushang gritted her teeth.
She looked up at Brian's face, which was just inches away, and said hatefully, "Don't think I'll submit just like this!"
"The women of the jianghu are destined to wander the world with the three-foot azure blade in their hands. Even if you get my body, you will never get my heart!"
Bronya: "..."
You two shameless dogs, it's bad enough you're being intimate in front of her, but you're even pledging your lives to each other in front of her.
Don't think the Silver Wolf of the Urals won't bite!
In an instant, the girl's gaze sharpened: "Li Sushang, this has nothing to do with you, an outsider. Get out of the way!"
She was very annoyed, but she still had no intention of harming Li Sushang.
In Seele's eyes, she was a good older sister, and she wanted to maintain that image forever.
However, Li Sushang didn't move, or rather, the power of the serum had robbed her of her ability to move.
Belatedly, the Inner World Protagonist had a moment of realization upon seeing the swordswoman's embarrassed expression, and only then did he place the completely limp Li Sushang in a place that wouldn't be affected by the battle.
"Wait here, I'll be right back to give you an explanation."
"..."
An explanation? What kind of explanation?
Does he intend to send a grand bridal sedan chair?
She was completely limp and powerless, but Li Sushang felt that the guy's scent lingered on her body, doing as it pleased like a tentacle monster, making her face flush and her heart race.
Damn it! Despicable! Lecher!
Li Sushang's legs felt weak. She thought she should have bought a few more clothes to spend all this guy's money!
...
Returning to face Bronya, the black-haired youth was as composed as before.
"Before the duel begins, I want to ask you a question."
"Aren't you afraid Seele will blame you? You're challenging her sweetheart right now."
Bronya: "She has just been bewitched by a despicable fellow like you. As long as I defeat you and take her far away, everything will go back to the way it was!"
"Or are you just using this opportunity to snatch the milk that should have belonged to your two younger sisters?"
"..."
One sentence brought back bad memories for Bronya.
Back then, she had believed the nonsense of this Inner World Protagonist. In order to find a real way to save Seele, she had joined the four-person team to escape Nagazora City.
This guy indeed hadn't lied and had, as promised, given her some viable options.
But she couldn't do any of them.
In order to save the sister she longed for day and night, she had to make a sacrifice, even signing a note to marry her sister off.
She had thought that after Seele was rescued, all she had to do was go back on her word and she'd be worry-free. But this guy, with his damn powerful kidney strength, made Seele also submit to his jeans.
From that time until now... a full three years have passed!
"Three years! Do you have any idea how I've spent these past three years?"
Bronya's expression was savage, like a hungry wolf whose ferocity had been provoked.
Even when she was being toyed with by this guy, even when she was being defiled by this guy, even when she had to eat cheese-filled bread for breakfast...
She had not submitted.
Only at the moment her sister found out the truth...
"Do you know how desperate I was?"
Only when she knew that her sister, for her sake, had decided to also let herself be bent over...
"Do you know how heartbroken I was?"
"Do you know how despicable you are!?"
The furious drills could now pierce the heavens. Bronya had nearly lost her mind.
She would fight, fight, fight, kill, kill, kill, rape, rape, rape!
She would make this damn Inner World Protagonist pay for the crimes he had committed!
The authority of the Herrscher of Reason was activated, and a giant black construct shaped like a palm appeared out of thin air.
Threads were its meridians, domination its blood.
This was the ultimate weapon the Thousand Herrschers had prepared for the traitors of the Honkai, an ultimate power that required all of them to activate together!
And now, the powers of the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Domination were both in Bronya's hands. She was the master of the Theater of Domination!
The wind howled!
The black 'palm' pressed down with the force of Mount Tai.
The authority of the Herrscher of Death was activated, and a solid object that appeared out of thin air let out a cry, barely managing to block the blow.
"Not bad, Bronya, you've grown very quickly."
"Hmph! None of your business!"
The silver-gray-haired girl pulled with her slender fingers, and the command transmitted through the threads made the black construct converge into a sharp drill, boring down viciously towards Brian.
Rotate! Pierce! Break through!
Today, she would definitely let this Inner World Protagonist know what 'consequences' meant!
The barrier constructed by the Herrscher of Death was broken by the agile construct. This power was, after all, slightly lacking in defense.
The complete authority of the Herrscher of Reason might be able to find a way, but the power of the Herrscher of Death could only reproduce the molecular structures from his memory.
In short, what he saw was what he got.
And currently, the sturdiest object on Earth could not block the combined force of the Herrscher of Domination and the Herrscher of Reason.
The best defense is a good offense—this was Brian's best plan.
Outside the battlefield, Li Sushang made a judgment based on her rich combat experience, her slender hands subconsciously gripping the clothes on her body.
It seemed she was worried, or perhaps she was worried about who she would go to to collect her debts after this guy died.
As the battle intertwined, the black mist was once again broken through by the construct Bronya controlled.
This thing was too big, and it had already closed the distance before it could be completely disintegrated.
The power of the Herrscher of Death alone was still not enough to defeat Bronya.
"Bronya, you're amazing."
"Hmph!"
The Silver Wolf of the Urals is a woman of few words and much action!
But young Brian, this Inner World Protagonist, was no pushover either.
"Try this."
Fire, shining bright!
Extreme light and heat erupted from the man's fingertips, colliding with the Herrscher of Domination's black construct.
A torrent of scorching flames pierced through everything in the blink of an eye, delving deep into the mysterious and dangerous Imaginary Space.
This was...
"The power of the Gem of Haste."
"That's right. This power is a bit difficult to control. I usually just use it as a power source. This is the first time I've actually used it."
The ultimate offense is the most powerful defense.
At this moment... the tide of battle had turned!
Bronya, with her massive size and the reconstructive ability of the Herrscher of Reason, allowed her construct to break through the Herrscher of Death's defenses and attacks. Young Brian, with the power of the Gem of Haste in his hand, gave her a taste of her own medicine.
Where she had succeeded, she was defeated by her opponent in the same way.
If she didn't want to truly fall out, now was the best time to admit defeat.
She was powerless to turn the tide!
The life faded from her silver-gray eyes. Bronya had schemed and plotted, but in the end, she still met her ultimate defeat at the hands of the Inner World Protagonist.
The girl, who hadn't been in her new clothes for long, slumped to the ground without any grace, her legs, perfectly shaped by her white stockings, in a W-sitting position on the floor.
She had knelt, but the punishment from the Inner World Protagonist was just beginning.
"Bronya, you know what's going to happen next, right?"
"..."
The girl was silent.
She had failed, failed completely and utterly.
And according to the agreement she had made with this guy, her delicate body was about to be freely toyed with by him.
Even in the bathroom, on the windowsill, under the starry sky, on the stage...
She couldn't resist. Even if she was being watched by the unrelated Li Sushang, she couldn't show the slightest resistance.
At the thought of such a scene, Bronya couldn't help but bite her pink lip with her pearly teeth, filled with grievance.
She begged: "Can you... just give me one last chance?"
"A chance?"
The Inner World Protagonist's fighting spirit was blazing. "At this moment, are you kidding me?"
Give her an inch and she'll take a yard. Give her some paint and she'll open a dyehouse.
Now Bronya had completed her mission. All the Herrschers of Domination had lost their power and become ordinary people who just happened to have the status of Pseudo-Herrschers.
Although she had merit for her undercover work, her merits and demerits did not cancel each other out. This misguided Herrscher must be severely punished!
"You... you stay away!"
The silver-gray-haired girl was pitiful and helpless, which only made the inherently evil Inner World Protagonist even more excited.
Outside the battlefield, Li Sushang watched this scene of a good girl seducing a lecher with a face full of black lines, feeling that Bronya was just short of stripping naked in front of that guy.
What resistance? It was practically written all over her face: 'Sir, come and have some fun.'
The fact that the man hadn't pounced on her and torn off her clothes was a testament to his extensive experience and self-control.
These two were playing too wild, making the pure Swordswoman Li Sushang unable to look directly. She wished she could find a place to hide, lest she too be swept up in their whim and ruined.
The blushing girl watched as the interaction between Bronya and Brian became more and more outrageous, Bronya's throat even letting out rhythmic sobs.
Sensing danger, the swordswoman got up from the ground, wanting to find a place to hide.
But...
"Threads?"
Li Sushang's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly felt like a high-society lady who had stepped into a brothel madam's trap.
The sharp threads tightened, and a subtle force pulled Li Sushang's body in that direction. The thin clothes on the girl's body were sliced apart one by one by the moving threads, instantly forcing Li Sushang to cover her alluring figure.
"You two bastards, don't drag me into your shameless activities!"
But the Herrscher of Domination, doing as she pleased, ignored her and pulled Li Sushang with her threads, placing her graceful curves under the dazed-eyed Bronya.
"You know, Li Sushang."
"I've never understood why you, being the same height as me, are a full 4kg heavier!"
4KG! That's a figure she could envy for a lifetime!
The bitterness in Bronya's heart was as endless as a torrential river. No woman could be indifferent about her figure, especially when, aside from the legal loli Theresa, there wasn't a single flat-chested figure around!
She was so bitter!
Li Sushang was on the verge of tears: "If your figure is not good, why are you dragging me down with you!"
"I'm helping you!"
"Who needs your help!?"
"Mmm~~, you do!"
