Chapter 134: Chiyou: What the Hell Is That Noise?

***

“It’s a Honkai Beast! This energy level… it’s already approaching, no, it has already far surpassed that Judgment-class Honkai Beast Benares that appeared during the Second Eruption!”

Although Anti-Entropy was struggling under Schicksal’s suppression, they still had their own satellites. Einstein, who had urgently commandeered the satellite, displayed the images of that sea area on the large screen in the battleship’s central cabin. Looking at the data feedback from the massive shadow hidden beneath the sea surface in the image, her expression was extremely tense.

Although the Judgment-class Honkai Beasts that appeared in the storyline had rather dismal battle records, there was no doubt that in the standard system established by Schicksal, Judgment-class Honkai Beasts were dangerous existences that could rival Herrschers.

“What’s going on? How could a Honkai Beast of this level be hidden beneath this sea area?!”

Judgment-class Honkai Beasts would only emerge from super-large-scale Honkai eruptions, generally appearing as companion products to Herrschers. Although this setting had been mostly forgotten in this era, the appearance of this big guy undoubtedly left Anti-Entropy’s two scientists somewhat puzzled.

The Third Eruption in Nagazora City clearly hadn’t erupted yet, and there was no news of the Fourth Eruption breaking out in New Zealand either. Moreover, this was the Shenzhou sea area.

According to the records in the database, there had been almost no major Honkai eruptions in Shenzhou. The nearest one was far away in Siberia, in some unknown remote location.

“It’s 【Chiyou】.”

【Bronya】 looked at the area on the screen and the massive shadow, immediately identifying its true nature.

The two Anti-Entropy scientists were somewhat puzzled by this answer:

“Chiyou? Isn’t that an existence from ancient Shenzhou legends?”

Since there had never been any major Honkai eruptions in the Shenzhou region, their attention to the Shenzhou area was extremely limited, and their understanding could be described as quite minimal.

The silver-haired girl explained:

“That’s a Judgment-class Honkai Beast born from the dawn of civilization. Due to the adverse consequences brought about by the Previous Era’s Project Ember to accelerate technological development, 【Chiyou】 destroyed the early Shenzhou region and was sealed in the sea abyss called Jiuyou by the survivors of the Previous Era at the cost of their lives. Because too much time has passed and the witnesses of that time also met with misfortune, the details were not recorded, only remembered by later generations in the form of myths and legends.”

Chiyou was an extremely special Honkai Beast.

Logically, the survivors of the Previous Era shouldn’t have been directly struck by a single Judgment-class Honkai Beast. If that were the case, the first Herrscher should have been born at the dawn of civilization.

But given 【Chiyou】 special ability to grow in size and strength by devouring land, Jiang Qiao judged that this thing was probably initially just an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, but because containment came too late, it had developed for too long and became the Judgment-class Honkai Beast they saw now.

He didn’t hide Chiyou’s abilities. Although how he came to know this information made the three from Anti-Entropy curious, smart people always understood unspoken agreements. Since Jiang Qiao was unwilling to say, they wouldn’t ask.

“Chiyou is heading toward the Guangdong-Guangxi direction of Shenzhou. I’m afraid it wants to devour that area to further restore its power.”

【Bronya】, who knew that Chiyou needed to feed to recover after awakening from its seal, looked at Chiyou’s trajectory map with a hint of understanding in her eyes.

“That won’t do!”

Tesla immediately cried out in alarm.

No matter how little attention they paid to Shenzhou, she knew that the Guangdong-Guangxi region was a densely populated area of Shenzhou. If Chiyou ran over there, it would definitely cause major casualties, and information about the Honkai would definitely not be kept secret.

“Mm, we can’t let it run to that kind of place.”

“Moreover—”

Looking at the route on the map, a hint of coldness flashed in 【Bronya】 silver eyes:

“Kiana and the others’ ship is right in that vicinity.”

“Mr. Welt, make your choice.”

The silver-haired girl, who didn’t want to waste any more time, fixed her gaze on Yang present.

“Bronya doesn’t hope that we must achieve the result Bronya wants through an unnecessary dispute. You know, that wouldn’t be good for humanity, for you all, or even for Bronya.”

“…I understand.”

Yang sighed and finally made a compromise. “I will hand over the Herrscher of Reason’s core to you, but I also hope you can promise me one thing—”

“If you feel that you can no longer control the power of the Herrscher of Reason, I hope you will strip away that power along with the Herrscher of the Void’s power… Don’t misunderstand, I’m not coveting that power, nor is it power I can control.”

“This is simply out of concern between fellow Herrschers on humanity’s side.”

To prevent 【Bronya】 from misunderstanding, Yang had to specifically explain.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Other Herrscher authorities were meaningless to him.

Actually, as a Herrscher who inherited his power later, Yang himself needed to bear a certain burden even when using the Herrscher of Reason authority that Joyce had passed down to him, let alone attempting to simultaneously carry multiple Herrscher authorities like Sirin.

“There’s no such possibility—”

The girl said this, and Yang thought she was going to refuse, but the next moment, 【Bronya】 squeezed out a smile, “But if you think there’s such necessity, I agree.”

“Don’t look at Bronya with those eyes. I’m not an unreasonable person either.”

Regarding the surprise in the three people’s eyes, while finding it somewhat amusing, the silver-haired girl was also a bit exasperated.

If that were the case, direct robbery would actually be the most efficient approach.

“Then, next, watch Bronya’s performance. I will use facts to prove that your worries are all unnecessary.”

“…I hope so.”

Yang sighed, and a gem emitting a faint blue light appeared in his hand.

That was the token of inheritance for two generations of Herrschers of Reason — the Herrscher of Reason core.

Looking at the treasure that Joyce had entrusted to him, although he felt somewhat reluctant, it wasn’t for this power.

In fact, Yang had long hoped that someday a qualified successor would appear to inherit the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

That way, he could retire early.

But to conduct the handover in this manner was completely unexpected.

Watching the silver-haired girl walk out through the cabin door, although carrying worry in his heart, he couldn’t help but feel some anticipation.

Anticipating that this little girl who had mastered the authority of the Void with a human body could once again create a miracle.

— 【Bronya】 didn’t choose to use the quick transmission method of Imaginary authority, but chose to leave properly.

The reason was also simple: the burden of using authority with a human identity was too great, and during the conversation period, the Anti-Entropy battleship at full speed had already reached the designated sea area.
