Book 5: Chapter 26:1: Club and Brick, Part 1
“Although there’s something called God nagging me to destroy the world or something like that in my ears, I have no interest in that at all. I can be with Elder Brother and return to Elder Brother’s world in two days. Why would I be in the mood to destroy the world? At best, I will take revenge on Schicksal. Elder Brother, you will make it up to me after we return, right?”
[TL Note: The Will of Honkai is also known as the Honkai God.]
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. What can I not give you as long as we return to my world?”
“You said it. You are not to go back on your word!” Sirin flew around Chen Heng happily, then hugged him from behind.
“So, how do you plan on taking revenge?”
Sirin embraced Chen Heng’s neck from behind, not letting go. Then she sought his opinion. “Uh…I don’t know. Elder Brother, give me a suggestion?”
“As for revenge…I’m stumped. Although I previously felt very vengeful, my ancestor has already dealt with the root of my vengeance—and did not even leave a corpse. How about this? The leader of Schicksal is called Otto, and a clone of him will appear before us soon. How about destroying that clone, then going to Schicksal’s headquarters to cause some destruction? Of course, we cannot kill innocent people.”
“Sure, but are there really innocents in Schicksal?”
“That’s a one-sided view. Although Schicksal’s Overseer is not a good person, it doesn’t negate the fact that Schicksal has many brave warriors who fight for humanity. For example, there’s the shorty you just tossed into Lake Baikal.”
“Emmm
“Erm…should I rescue her? But I’ll lose face if I do that.” Sirin hesitated a little now.
“Fine, there’s no need to second-guess. She will return on her own.”
“Huh?”
“Sirin, let me tell you something else. It is best not to keep your enemy’s weapon by your side. There might be problems with it.” Chen Heng pinched Sirin’s face before tossing the Oath of Judah he held aside, preventing it from hurting him later.
Right after Chen Heng spoke, the Oath of Judah shot out golden chains that seemed to stab into space and vanish.
Then, the golden chains pulled out a human figure as they reappeared beside the Oath of Judah.
This scene suddenly brought to mind a very visually striking meme.
The Oath of Judah! Anti-missing-child mode! Activate!
How excellent! It truly lives up to the name of Valkyrie Judah. Indeed, Judah has to be the true form, and Theresa is just an emotionless Judah launcher.
“Sirin, right? I—Theresa—am back. Let’s continue round two, then.”
“…”
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“…”
Bang!
A ghostly hand behind Theresa held up a large metal club and ruthlessly struck the back of her head.
After receiving this critical blow, she collapsed, rendered hors de combat.
Although Theresa was an A-Ranked Valkyrie—a human-shaped Honkai Beast—this metal club was no ordinary object but an enchanted treasure called Club that Chen Heng friendlily contributed.
This was a divine tool for backstabbers, and there was another enchanted treasure with similar effects: Brick.
They were part of a series of enchanted treasures for backstabbing, made using modern smithing in the cultivation world. They could cause the target to faint without it being fatal. They were necessary enchanted treasures for robbing without killing.
“Elder Brother, did you know about it beforehand? I mean, the matter of Theresa returning?”
“Of course I did.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”
“Of course, so you would remember this lesson.”
Chen Heng turned to the Oath of Judah, which had returned to being a human’s height tall, and touched the Divine Key made of Soulium.
Although Chen Heng wanted to take this weapon, he could not exploit this opportunity because of his contract with Fu Hua.
Chen Heng kicked Theresa, who was on the ground, then took out Brick from his spatial storage after some thought, wanting to deal a follow-up blow.
Boom!
“Brat, stop! What are you planning to do to Theresa?” Just as Chen Heng was about to attack, Welt broke the boundary between the world and the imaginary space, exposing the imaginary space to the snowfield. Siegfried saw Chen Heng holding Brick up to strike the unconscious Theresa when he entered.
“I…uh…I was not planning on anything. I was just going to wake the shorty, seeing she had fainted.” Chen Heng hid Brick behind his back before returning it to his spatial storage.
However, Siegfried did not listen to Chen Heng. He simply raised his gun and aimed at Chen Heng. However, he did not immediately fire, as Theresa was in the hands of the Herrscher of the Void. Siegfried worried that attacking Chen Heng would agitate the Herrscher of the Void.
Upon seeing the situation, Sirin quickly used the ghostly hands to pull Chen Heng to her side.
“You must be the 2nd Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, right? Are you interested in allying with me to resist the Honkai together?”
Welt drew Chen Heng and Sirin’s attention to himself, letting Siegfried fly over to pick up Theresa.
“You must be the traitor that betrayed the Honkai, the one that ‘God’ spoke about, right?” Sirin did not interfere with Siegfried’s rescue of Theresa. Instead, she focused on Welt.
After Chen Heng’s persuasion, Sirin no longer took a stance against humanity nor sought to destroy it, but she did not plan on fighting the Honkai, either.
Strictly speaking, Sirin was still the envoy of Honkai, so she could talk with the Will of Honkai.
“A fully awakened Herrscher can communicate with the Honkai God?” This discovery stunned Welt. This Welt was not the first Herrscher of Reason but the second. He had received the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Reason from the first-generation Welt to become the second Herrscher of Reason. Thus, he could not count as a fully awakened Herrscher.
“Of course we can. However, that is not a treatment a traitor like you can enjoy. Although this ‘God’ is a little irritating, going on and on about destroying humanity and cities, there’s no denying its vast knowledge.”
