Now They're All Dead

The Deep End, a prison meticulously crafted by Fire Moth's chief engineer, Vill-V. Those imprisoned here were no ordinary individuals—and Lee had now been honored with joining their ranks.

But Lee wasn't the least bit dissatisfied. In fact, she felt as comfortable as if she'd returned home.

Every alt account has to spend some time in jail. Lihua was imprisoned in Otto's dungeon, Shoko was locked up in the Public Security Bureau's prison, and now, finally, it was Lee's turn to be confined in the Deep End.

However, to be fair, Lee's treatment was far better than Lihua's or Shoko's. While other prisoners were locked in their cells, unable to even see the sun, she had complete freedom, even able to move freely on the island.

The main reason for this was that Lee, unlike other outlaws, had no ability to escape from the island.

Humans need air to survive, and the purpose of breathing and heartbeat is to supply air to the whole body.

The current Lee didn't need to breathe or have a heartbeat. What sustained her was not air, but Honkai energy, and the source of Honkai energy was the Herrscher of Sentience core within her.

Humans suffocate without air. Lee, with the output power of her Herrscher core restricted, resulting in insufficient Honkai energy, was in a similar situation.

Her Honkai energy was maintained at the minimum level required for activity, no different from a human teetering on the edge of suffocation and death. Not to mention using the full power of the Herrscher of Sentience, even walking was an ordeal for Lee, let alone escaping from the Deep End.

So she chose to sit.

On the highest cliff of the entire island, Lee sat on a plastic chair, calmly gazing at the sea, until a sarcastic and mocking voice came from behind her.

"Look what we have here, a hero of Fire Moth—uh, is it more appropriate to say Fire Moth's murderer now?"

"Don't say that. She can't even be a murderer now. She's useless~"

"Neither human nor Herrscher, what is she?"

"A walking corpse."

"A thinking tool~"

"Unwanted trash!"

Theatrical voices rose and fell, but this did not affect Lee's state in the slightest. She simply stood up calmly from the chair and turned to look at the Herrscher of Dominance behind her.

"There are more of you than I thought."

The cliff was densely packed with people. Even the nearby jungle was filled with shadowy figures. Although their expressions were different, they had an eerie similarity, as if they were wearing masks from the same series.

And with just a glance, Lee was certain that there were definitely more than a thousand people here. In fact, it should be—five thousand? Eight thousand?

In short, the Herrscher of Dominance seemed no longer suitable for them. The Herrscher of Ten Thousand might be more appropriate.

"You really went to a lot of trouble to kill me," Lee narrowed her eyes. "Using a hundred Herrschers to make everyone suspect me, is it worth it?"

"Why wouldn't it be? You're the Herrscher killing machine~"

"So many of our predecessors were killed by you. It's so scary, so scary!"

"But now, the hero's story can also end."

"Once you die, the strong among humans will definitely fall into internal strife."

"When the rotten pillar in a dilapidated house is removed, the whole house collapses!"

"We are the ones who destroy humanity—ah, no, should it be you? Hooray!"

"Hooray!!" *N

The Herrschers cheered, seemingly celebrating the inevitable destruction of humanity.

And Lee simply slowly drew the purple long blade inserted nearby.

"Wow, it's the Seven Thunders of Retribution. How scary!"

"Using our Herrscher corpses as weapons... You humans are truly terrifying. Whimper, whimper~"

"They even use human blood to make medicine. It's simply outrageous."

"Sigh, even if she gives her blood to humans, what's the point? Everyone still won't accept her. She's an outsider."

Lee gripped the Seven Thunders of Retribution in her hand. This familiar old comrade, after being separated for many years, had returned to her hands.

Knowing that the Herrscher of Ten Thousand wanted to kill her, Lee simply created a perfect environment for them—herself, with even her Herrscher core restricted, alone and unprotected, imprisoned in the Deep End. How could the Herrschers miss such a perfect opportunity?

And since they valued her so much, they would most likely choose to mobilize all their forces to ensure her death. This was undoubtedly the best opportunity to annihilate them.

With the Herrscher of Sentience core within her body banned, she could only rely on external forces, namely Divine Keys, to kill them. So Lee had already asked Pardofelis to help her steal the Divine Keys, as well as the Blank Key that Mei had recently developed, and place them on this island. This was definitely an impossible task for others, but for Pardo, the master thief, it was just a piece of cake.

The moment she gripped the Seven Thunders of Retribution, the core of the Herrscher of Thunder also connected with the Blank Key on Lee's body. As the armor turned purple, the power of Conquest surged almost violently into Lee's body.

"She's going all out, huh? The burden of this outfit looks like it's going to kill someone~"

"Humans are always ungrateful. You sacrificed so much to help them, but they turned you into the culprit just because of a few words from others~"

"Why protect them? What's the point? Wouldn't it be better to be free?"

"Are these humans really worth your efforts?"

"Heh..."

Facing the mockery and persuasion of the Herrscher of Ten Thousand, Lee just chuckled softly.

"I'm too lazy to reason with you. You're not worthy of listening."

The next moment, a dazzling electric light tore through the gloomy sky, leaving only the rumbling thunder echoing across the island!

Pardofelis ultimately couldn't withstand the repeated questioning of Mei and the others and confessed everything Lee had asked her to do. After all, Big Sis Lee didn't tell her to keep it a secret, did she?

The others didn't know what Lee was planning to do. But gathering so many dangerous Divine Keys together was definitely not a simple matter. Therefore, they could only rush to the Deep End.

And the sudden outbreak of thousands of Herrscher reactions along the way made their scalps tingle. After that, the Honkai energy reaction at the Deep End became the peak of Honkai energy ever recorded in the history of civilization!

When Kevin led the team onto the Deep End, or rather, what should have been called the Deep End, there was nothing left.

In the midst of desolation, only the traces of the Herrschers' rampage remained—molten rock from flames, frozen seas from ice, corroded life from death... Almost all the abilities of the Herrschers could be found on this island.

And at the center of the island, a figure covered in wounds staggered, tossing the last Herrscher core onto the pile of cores that had already accumulated into a small mountain, and then finally collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on any longer.

Seemingly sensing the arrival of Kevin and the others, Lee calmly turned her head to look at them and smiled indifferently.

"Don't worry, it's over."
