Chat Group: Starting by Body Swapping with Elysia? - Chapter 137 Part 3

If it were just the two of them alone, Rita would probably be unable to restrain her unclean little hands.

However—

“This Honkai Energy reaction…”

Although she was drooling, Rita ultimately kept business and pleasure separate. As an S-rank Valkyrie, she easily detected the energy hidden within 【Bronya】’s small body.

“A Herrscher?!”

She tentatively voiced the answer in her heart.

Rita wasn’t completely unfamiliar with Herrschers. Well… at least before coming to Nagazora City, her understanding of this creature was limited to Schicksal’s database, but after being captured in Nagazora City, Rita had seen 【Kiana】 controlled by Jiang Qiao — a genuine Herrscher of the Void.

And now, with Jiang Qiao’s 【Bronya】, she sensed the same scale, possibly even stronger, different energy reaction.

“That’s right, I am now a true Herrscher of Reason.”

For various considerations, although she should actually be the 【Herrscher of Truth】 now, 【Bronya】 still continued to use the most common designation of 【Herrscher of Reason】.

However, she would specifically emphasize the word “true.”

But at this stage, basically no one would know the meaning of the word “true.”

Herrscher of Reason is just Herrscher of Reason, right? What’s this about “true”? Could there be a fake Herrscher of Reason?

Of course, discussing authenticity was meaningless.

Just the news that 【Bronya】 had become the Herrscher of Reason was enough to instantly shock the three people present.

Kiana might just think the Herrscher of Reason sounded amazing but not really understand it, but as Cocolia’s adopted daughter and also a member of Anti-Entropy, how could Bronya not know what the Herrscher of Reason was?

“Bronya became the Herrscher of Reason?”

Ducky was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

What the heck.

How is it that my body, after being in your hands for less than a day, has already transformed into the Herrscher of Reason?

Are you playing travel frog here?!

“So that Judgment-class Honkai Beast was dealt with by you?”

Although very concerned about the Herrscher of Reason situation, Rita still asked the question in her heart.

To this, Jiang Qiao naturally had nothing to deny and nodded frankly:

“Mm.”

“…”

Rita was somewhat speechless.

No way, are all Herrschers this monstrous?

A Judgment-class Honkai Beast was taken care of so easily and quickly? Even Lady Durandal probably couldn’t reach this level, right?

Thinking back to when she first became an S-rank Valkyrie and still thought she could win against a Herrscher — after all, although she wasn’t good at fighting large Honkai Beasts, as an S-rank Valkyrie specialized in anti-personnel combat, dealing with human-shaped Herrschers, even if she couldn’t win, she should be able to hold her own, right?

But now, with 【Bronya】’s performance as the Herrscher of Reason, Rita’s confidence was completely shattered.

Fight my ass! Someone who can speedrun Chiyou in a dozen minutes, speedrun an S-rank Valkyrie like her? That would probably be three or four runs easily.

“You killed that big monster?”

Kiana stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous.

Although she knew Herrschers were powerful, she didn’t know exactly how powerful they were.

But with this reference point, it became much more intuitive.

“Mm, I spent a bit more time to get this thing, otherwise it should have been even faster.”

Project Bunny appeared, revealing a golden Shenzhou sword.

Rita immediately recognized the sword’s nature:

“A Divine Key?!”

“The 10th Divine Key, Key of Domination: Xuanyuan Sword. It’s nothing rare, after all it’s mass-produced stuff, though there probably aren’t many left now.”

The girl’s tone carried some wistfulness.

Originally there should have been about a thousand of these, but after Kalpas’s destruction and normal wear and tear, by this era, there were probably fewer than fifty left.

That Chicken Mom probably had about a dozen in her hands.

“Forget it, we’ll talk about the details later. Let’s switch to a faster mode of transportation.”

【Bronya】 casually snapped her fingers, and a portal to the Imaginary leading to an Anti-Entropy warship appeared.

Rather than continuing to slowly ride this broken cruise ship, it was obviously faster to take Anti-Entropy’s warship.

— At the same time

Schicksal Headquarters

As the foremost anti-Honkai organization of this era, Schicksal naturally wouldn’t be unaware of the appearance of Chiyou, a Honkai Beast of such high Judgment-class level.

In fact, the moment Chiyou appeared, Otto had already dispatched Durandal, who was on standby at headquarters, to rush to the area where Chiyou appeared. At the same time, the anomaly in the area under the Far East branch’s jurisdiction also caused the patrolling Hyperion to head toward Chiyou’s direction.

But—

From Chiyou’s awakening to the disappearance of Chiyou’s energy reaction, the entire process took less than half an hour…

“Herrscher of Reason…”

Looking at the blurred figure in the screen playing strange music and the giant figure pierced and worn away by light beams, this Overseer’s face was terrifyingly grim.

Although he looked down on Anti-Entropy greatly and had never taken that organization seriously.

But Anti-Entropy’s sovereign, that man, had always been Otto’s greatest concern.

After all, the power of one Herrscher was enough to overturn his plans, and because of some past reasons, there was almost no room for reconciliation between the two of them.

For many years, Otto had been wary of Welt’s existence.

And on this day, he had appeared.

No… it shouldn’t be said “he,” but rather “she.”

Although extreme weather and Honkai interference made the satellite-captured video extremely blurry, Otto could still tell at a glance the gender of that Herrscher of Reason in the image.

— The Herrscher of Reason had a new successor, and she seemed to be much stronger than the previous Herrscher of Reason. Such bad news made this composed Overseer somewhat unable to sit still.

“Since the Honkai Beast has been eliminated, should we recall Lady Durandal?”

Although Durandal was aboard Schicksal’s most advanced and fastest transport ship, it was still early, and recalling her now was still in time.

Regarding Amber’s suggestion, Otto was silent for a moment, then waved his hand, “No need.”

He stared straight at the somewhat blurry girl in the frozen frame, a shadow passing through his emerald eyes.

Unknown Herrscher, Herrscher of Reason, and the possibly briefly awakened Herrscher of the Void… The situation in the Far East was so chaotic, how could he be at ease without properly investigating?

Let Durandal test these waters!

Suddenly, Amber’s face changed.

Noticing the anomaly, Otto frowned and asked: “What happened?”

Amber swallowed and said quietly:

“The Oceania branch in New Zealand has been attacked by Anti-Entropy.”
