Chapter 459

Klee didn't hide anything from Takumi's questioning.

Instead, she explained everything that happened when she met Himeko.

"This Aunt suddenly fell out of a space—just like the space channels that Takumi big brother opens. Then she fell not far from our camp. Fortunately, Klee found this Aunt."

"Then Sister Ganyu quickly used her adeptal power to save her; otherwise, she would have died. That's what Sister Ganyu said. She used up all her strength to save this Aunt and is now resting at the camp. She asked Klee and Qiqi to return first."

Listening to Klee's explanation, Takumi nodded.

"I see."

After saying this, Takumi continued treating Himeko. Ordinary treatments would not work; otherwise, Qiqi would have already handled it, and there would have been no need to bring her back.

At this moment, Yaoyao asked curiously, "Takumi big brother, do you know this Aunt?"

She was puzzled. Seeing this Aunt, Takumi had immediately called out her name. They must know each other, right?

Takumi shook his head, then nodded again.

"How do I put this? It's complicated. Himeko isn't from this world either."

After saying this, Takumi continued to treat Himeko.

Hearing his reply, Klee and Yaoyao were stunned.

Not from this world? Like Takumi big brother?

The girls didn't ask further. They simply watched as Takumi worked on her injuries.

Under the power of the Herrscher of Death, Himeko's wounds quickly healed. At least, on the surface, the external injuries were gone. However, her internal organs were still in critical condition.

Takumi spent some time stabilizing her condition. But the real issue remained—Honkai corruption.

This was a serious problem.

At the same time, it was also Takumi's first direct encounter with Honkai energy.

Just as Takumi was about to analyze it further, Keqing and Shenhe rushed in.

Both had received news about Klee and the others bringing back an injured woman.

And it wasn't just them—Zhongli also knew.

After all, Himeko's Honkai energy was too conspicuous.

In fact, Zhongli had sensed her presence the moment she arrived. This was his territory, after all. However, he hadn't acted immediately. He didn't know who she was, but with Takumi there, he decided to observe first.

"Takumi, who is this person?" Keqing asked as soon as she entered, her eyes landing on the bloodstained bed sheet.

Looking at Himeko lying on the stretcher, she was surprised. Her equipment didn't look like anything from this world.

Although the surface wounds seemed healed, both Keqing and Shenhe could sense that Himeko was on the verge of death.

Takumi glanced at Himeko and explained, "A guest from another world. Let me treat her first. We can talk later."

After saying this, Takumi picked up Himeko. This was not the right place to treat her.

He needed to return to his manor.

Thinking of this, Takumi immediately opened a space channel and stepped through.

Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed, their curiosity piqued.

Back home, Takumi placed Himeko on a bed in an empty room. Then, he focused on analyzing the Honkai energy inside her.

This was a rare opportunity to study Honkai energy firsthand. Takumi couldn't waste it.

Perhaps, this was also a good chance to integrate Honkai energy into his own power.

Takumi was eager to see the potential of Honkai energy.

With this thought in mind, he activated the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

At that moment, Takumi's eyes changed. A special symbol appeared in his pupils.

Then, he began analyzing Himeko with full focus.

As Takumi unleashed the power of the Herrscher of Reason, Ei, who was in the next room, sensed it.

She was puzzled.

What was Takumi doing?

Putting down the novel in her hand, she hurried downstairs to investigate.

Lately, Ei had completely turned into a recluse. She rarely left the manor, only coming out for meals.

When she arrived, she saw everyone gathered around a bed, watching Takumi work on a woman.

Feeling the energy emanating from Himeko, Ei frowned.

This power…

It didn't seem like a good thing.

The woman before her was deeply corrupted by this energy.

And Takumi—was he analyzing it?

With curiosity, Ei walked forward.

"Sister Ei!"

"Master Ei!"

Klee and Sayu immediately greeted her.

Especially Sayu—she was no longer afraid of Ei.

After all, this version of Ei was different. She just stayed at home, drank her happy drinks, and read novels.

So Sayu was no longer scared!

Not to mention, this Ei was actually quite gentle.

The real scary one was the Raiden Shogun.

Ei glanced at them, nodded, and then turned her attention to Himeko.

At this moment, Takumi was fully focused on analyzing Honkai energy.

Honkai energy was more complex than Takumi had anticipated.

However, the moment the Herrscher of Reason's power touched it, it reacted as if it had found something valuable.

The Herrscher of Reason's power began analyzing Honkai energy at an accelerated rate.

But there was too much involved.

Honkai energy seemed far more advanced than elemental power.

It took nearly ten minutes for Takumi to complete his analysis.

By the end of it, Takumi finally understood the nature of Honkai energy.

He looked at Himeko.

He now knew what had to be done.

If he wanted to save her, he had to extract all the Honkai energy from her body.

Then, and only then, could he properly treat her.

Himeko's body had been too deeply eroded.

If the Honkai energy wasn't removed, any treatment would be futile.

Thinking of this, Takumi's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Wasn't this the perfect opportunity?

He could absorb the Honkai energy from Himeko's body.

Then, he could transfer it into himself.

Finally, he could completely convert the elemental power within his body into Honkai energy.

Himeko might suffer from Honkai corruption, but he wouldn't.

For Takumi, Honkai energy was nothing but nourishment.

With this decision made, Takumi wasted no time.

He got to work immediately.
