Li Sushang's location.
Enveloped in an icy blue Divine Breath, Li Sushang quietly looked at the black hole that had condensed above her, and the ancient golden giant sword that pierced through the entire black hole.
"This is way too boring. I really want to go see my Little Martial Uncle; maybe it's more interesting over there?"
Li Sushang casually snapped her fingers, and the black hole contracted violently, finally vanishing into nothingness.
She looked at the silver galaxy surrounding her; this aura of Kiana's was so scorching that it was hard for her to ignore.
Now she could clearly feel Kiana's power, feeling that the majestic strike from earlier in the day was actually quite light.
Just as Li Sushang dispersed the black hole, her vision blurred, and a woman who looked remarkably like Raiden Mei appeared before her eyes.
"Who might you be?"
Li Sushang's brow furrowed slightly as her right hand formed a sword gesture, ready to strike at any moment.
Because the person before her gave her a feeling like a profound black hole, just like the one she had just conjured by hand.
She was definitely not the Raiden Mei who had become the Herrscher of Thunder whom she had seen before.
"I... am named Acheron. I am lost in this place, drawn here by the black hole in your hand."
Acheron's expression was indifferent as she looked at Li Sushang's chest, specifically at the location of her heart, where the herrscher core had been fused.
She could feel a black hole aura completely different from Ixes's.
Ixes's black hole was filled with the laws of Nihility, while Li Sushang's black hole was pure destruction.
Li Sushang looked into Acheron's calm eyes, and seeing no sign of a lie, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"I am Li Sushang. If you are lost, Miss Acheron, you can come with me for now."
"Very well..."
Acheron nodded faintly.
Li Sushang also nodded and then led Acheron back to the Wangshu Battleship.
Acheron only gave her a feeling of a profound and terrifying aura, but her essence was not so, which was why Li Sushang could trust her and take her back.
Otherwise, leaving a girl who seemed a bit dazed all alone here would be a violation of the Way of the Chivalrous... Meanwhile, at the place where Theresa was.
In the pitch-black outer space, golden gears were slowly turning everywhere.
Golden chains, like a giant net, swept up all the Locust-like Insectoids in front of Theresa.
Under the restriction of Binding and without the support of Imaginary Energy, the Locust-like Insectoids were like lambs to the slaughter, constantly writhing within the chains.
And Theresa, with her hands pressed together and paired with her white stockings, looked like a saintly maiden in the golden divine radiance (smirk).
Once all the enemies were bound, Theresa slowly opened her eyes and looked at the trapped Insectoids.
And... the writhing stingers behind them, which made her feel a wave of revulsion.
They felt just like tentacles... Theresa tugged at the front of her skirt, and her white-stockinged legs subconsciously pressed together a bit tighter.
"It's better to just destroy them all; such things really shouldn't exist in this world!"
Theresa's small face was a bit pale, but she then spoke with an air of justice while patting her small chest.
As the golden gear phantoms in her pupils turned slightly, countless golden spears carrying the clearance of Binding entered auto-homing mode.
In just a brief moment, all the Insectoids in front of her became motionless corpses.
The power of Abundance, suppressed by Binding, had no chance of regeneration.
After dealing with the Locust-like Insectoids that had broken through here, Theresa returned to the guarding battleship... and finally, the last part of the Herrscher battlefield, the battlefield of Rin and Little Corruption.
The two Herrschers here were both of Corruption; one represented the Previous Era, and the other represented the Current Era.
"Senior, you're acting way too fast~♬"
Little Corruption pouted and looked at the majestic white fox with some complaint.
"I need to get back quickly to find my sister; I don't have time to waste with them here."
The Great Fox rolled her eyes at Little Corruption.
All around her were the remains of the Locust-like Insectoids after they had been burned.
Little Corruption tapped her cheek and then slowly floated in front of Rin's head, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Senior, can you let me pet you? I'm really curious about how it feels...♬"
"No petting. Only my sister and Big Boss Kiana can pet me!"
The fox's head turned away slightly, ignoring Little Corruption's curious and pitiful gaze.
"Please, I really want to pet you. Do you really have the heart to refuse me~? And I was personally created by Mother (Kiana)~♬"
"..."
Facing Little Corruption, who was acting cute with Elysia's appearance and tone, Rin felt a bit swayed, so she said softly,
"Just once. Go ahead and pet..."
"Yay~ Petting~ Petting~♬"
Little Corruption happily hugged the fox's head and buried her face in it, looking like someone with an addiction.
After petting for a while, Rin changed back into her human form, her face slightly flushed, and pushed away Little Corruption, who was still immersed in the soft and comfortable feeling of the fur.
"It's time to go back..."
After Rin finished speaking, she flew toward the guarding battleship.
Little Corruption looked with regret at the several large, fluffy Tails behind Rin.
She clearly wanted to pet them more; she'd have to beg her cute Mother to let her pet them more later! ♬
(Little Corruption considered Kiana, who created her, as her Mother, and Elysia, who gave her existence and memories, as her Mama.)
Little Corruption decided happily in her heart.
Then she turned to look at the surrounding embers of the Insectoids and waved her hand, using the clearance of corrosion to reshape these embers into Honkai Beasts.
Faded Honkai Beast — Locust-class.
They had decent speed and self-recovery abilities.
"But... the appearance really doesn't meet my inner expectations...♬"
She looked at these Honkai Beasts with some distress, then shook her head and decomposed all these Locust-classes into Honkai Energy.
These really didn't fit her aesthetic.
Since she herself was the Herrscher of Corruption core, the incarnation of the corrosion virus, Little Corruption instinctively absorbed Kiana's aura.
Now, her cultivation of Divine Power had already reached the entry level since birth.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Little Corruption also followed Rin's Path back... Compared to the other Herrscher frontlines, Otto had split into multiple clones to simultaneously control multiple areas.
Although the individual strength of the Herrscher of Dominance was inferior to other Herrschers, combined with the brave and skilled Warahip Cloud Knights, it was quite manageable.
Otto, combined with the unique abilities of each clone and the Cloud Knights, took down these Insectoids with nearly zero casualties.
Furthermore, she had even captured an Insectoid that appeared to be a squad leader.
The reason she thought so was that the opponent's intelligence level was very high, unlike those bio-intelligent warriors who only knew how to follow orders and instincts.
After capturing the opponent, Otto used the Void Archives to analyze them and combined it with her own cognition to reach a conclusion.
The so-called Path energy was formed by combining unowned Imaginary Energy with a certain concept.
And every concept corresponded to a Path... "Send these to that Previous Era Pioneer, Dr. Mobius."
Otto casually bound the barely breathing Insectoid after it had been researched and threw it to a nearby Cloud Knight.
The Cloud Knight nodded slightly and then took the body back to Warahip, handing it over to Mobius, who was at the Alchemy Commission.
The performance of this group of Herrschers caused Nous, located in the Interstice of the Paths, to fall into a bit of silence.
The upper limits of these existences were extremely high; some might even grow to the point where even Aeons would be helpless.
The most typical among them were Theresa of Binding and Little Corruption of corrosion.
