Chapter 444: The Queen Descends; Fu Lin Cons Fu Hua~

Now once again turned into a ghost by Otto, Fu Lin sat dejectedly in a dark corner, head drooped low, drawing circles on the ground with a delicate finger, muttering under his breath,

"Otto, I'm drawing a curse circle to hex you… may your plan fail, may your tree-charging flop, and may Kallen elope with that pink-haired fox..."

That low voice echoed through the silent corner, brimming with deep grievance and sorrow.

-------------------------

After that, Sirin sensed something and appeared on a platform in the blink of an eye.

Sirin looked up at the Hyperion, which had just arrived above the laboratory. Moments later, accompanied by a flash of light, a figure fell from the sky.

At this moment, Mei☆'s face was full of astonishment, clearly shocked by her sudden appearance here. However, before she could react, she had already fallen into Sirin's warm embrace.

Looking at the stunned Mei☆ in her arms, Sirin's lips curled into a devilish smile. Her voice, like an echo in a deep valley, carried an irresistible, bewitching power,

"My other half, the time has come. Let us become one again! It's time to destroy this world filled with endless lies, deceit, and chaos☆."

While Mei☆ was momentarily stunned by these words, several dazzling bolts of lightning suddenly tore through the sky.

Immediately after, the purple phantom of the Herrscher of Thunder appeared in front of Mei☆, gazing at Sirin with a wary look.

The Herrscher of Thunder spoke in a grave tone,

"We're too late. She's already been taken over by the Honkai Will. It's very dangerous now."

Upon hearing this, Mei☆ quickly came to her senses, stood up, and tightly gripped the sword on her back. Staring at 'Kiana☆' hovering in mid-air, she said,

"Then what do I have to do to wake her up?!"

The Herrscher of Thunder snorted coldly at Mei☆'s words and said,

"Hmph, since the enemy is a Herrscher, use a Herrscher's power to deal with her. Beat her until she wakes up. Don't disappoint me."

In an instant, Mei☆'s entire body was enveloped in a dense purple glow. Her skin, clothes, and even her hair shimmered with violet light.

Amidst the radiance, Mei☆'s expression was resolute and determined. She bit her lip and shouted loudly,

"Kiana☆, I promised the Headmaster and Himeko—I will definitely bring you back safely!"

The scene abruptly shifted. Sirin, with a cold smile, clamped her iron-like hand around Mei☆'s slender neck, lifting her easily into the air.

With just a bit more pressure, Sirin could have snapped Mei☆'s neck and taken the precious Gem of Conquest from within her.

However, at that critical moment, a heavy mechanical noise suddenly rang out.

Next, a massive Titan robot descended like a war god from the heavens, charging at Sirin with tremendous force, swinging its powerful mechanical arms in an attack.

Seeing this, Sirin was forced to temporarily release her grip on Mei☆ and dodged the Titan robot's assault with a sidestep.

Mei☆ fell heavily to the ground, gasping for breath. She looked around in shock as countless Titan robots emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, forming ranks and advancing toward Sirin with heavy steps.

Almost at the same time, a familiar Anti-Entropy bankruptcy theme began to play.

Amid the stirring music, Sirin remained calm and composed in the face of the overwhelming number of Titan robots, her lips curling into a scornful smile.

Sirin slowly floated upward, pressed her hands down, and her skirt flared outward. Then, a series of space portals appeared behind her.

These portals were arranged in an orderly pattern, forming a spectacular scene. Through them, shadowy forms of numerous Honkai Beasts could be seen.

As Sirin walked step by step higher into the air, she raised her hands slowly, then suddenly swung them down, as if issuing a command to attack.

In an instant, the Honkai Beasts surged out from the portals like a flood bursting through a dam, unstoppable.

They roared and shrieked as they charged toward the Titan robots, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides clashed fiercely.

Sparks flew, smoke billowed, and the battlefield plunged into utter chaos.

Despite their powerful weapon systems and sturdy energy shields, the Titan robots were gradually overwhelmed by the endless waves of Honkai Beasts.

At this moment, the Titan robots quickly adjusted their strategy, aiming their cannons at Sirin in the sky and unleashing a barrage of powerful shells in a full-scale assault on their commanding enemy.

Sirin's lips curled into a contemptuous smile. She gently raised her jade-like hand and snapped her fingers crisply.

In an instant, the incoming shells were sucked into the space portals.

Moments later, more portals appeared above the battlefield, and the absorbed shells were fired back through them, raining down on the Titan robots.

With a series of earth-shattering explosions, dazzling fireworks lit up the sky.

As the smoke cleared, the once-flat deck was now riddled with craters and ablaze with fire.

Then, Bella appeared in the sky and descended heavily onto the battleship's deck, letting out a roar.

The Titan robots' delay had bought precious time for Theresa and Bronya, who finally arrived to reunite with Mei☆.

Facing the dual-core Sirin, Theresa with Judah could barely hold her own. But after Sirin extracted the Gem of Conquest from Mei☆, the situation turned decisively one-sided.

Fortunately, the long-delayed Fu Hua suddenly descended and immediately instructed Bronya to take Theresa and Mei☆ away while she stayed to face Sirin alone.

Unfortunately, without the restored power of Fenghuang Down and against a triple-core Sirin, Fu Hua was eventually defeated. Sirin held her by the neck with one hand, lifting her high into the air.

Just as Sirin was about to strike the killing blow, her body suddenly trembled uncontrollably, as if she had lost control.

At the same time, Sirin's once golden, murderous eyes briefly turned blue, and she gave Fu Hua a deep look.

Next, Sirin tightly clutched her head with both hands, her face twisted in pain. After one last fierce glare at Fu Hua, her body sank into a space portal and vanished without a trace.

At that moment, applause rang out. Otto stepped from the shadows, looked at Fu Hua on the ground, and after a brief conversation, raised the mimic Heavenly Fire in his hand,

"Celestial Immortal, I did not lie!"

...

The scene shifted. Himeko looked at the potion in her hand and the Fu Hua projected by Fenghuang Down. After learning the situation, she resolutely stepped onto the battlefield.

Fu Hua then guided Himeko to the lab storing the Key of Blank and disappeared.

The next second, "Fu Hua's" voice sounded again, slowly recounting Sirin's past to Himeko.

But just as the tale grew intense, the voice was abruptly cut off as if silenced by an invisible hand.

The surroundings fell into dead silence again.

Meanwhile, inside Fenghuang Down, Fu Lin was nervously watching Fu Hua, who stared at him with a puzzled expression.

Fu Lin gave an awkward laugh and cautiously asked, "Um... is something wrong?"

Fu Hua crossed her arms over her chest and gazed intently at the person in front of her, who looked exactly like her. An indescribable sense of familiarity welled up in her heart.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember anything about this person.

Finally, Fu Hua frowned and asked in confusion,

"Who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Lin's eyes darted around, and suddenly, a brilliant idea came to mind.

He slung his arm over Fu Hua's shoulder and, with a friendly smile, replied,

"Uh... Little Hua! Actually, I'm your big brother!"

At these words, Fu Hua's eyes first showed confusion, then surprise. She instinctively repeated,

"Big brother?"

Clearly, she found this sudden answer unbelievable.

Seeing her reaction, Fu Lin quickly seized the moment and continued,

"Yep, that's right! Ah, you've even forgotten your dearest big brother. Remember all those wonderful times we shared together back in the day..."

Fu Hua fell into deep thought. She had no memory of what Fu Lin said, but for some reason, her heart was willing to believe it—as if it were all true.
