Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Chapter 277: Humanity, You Have No Other Choice!



"Shatter, Herrscher!"

A barrage of attacks, as if costing no Honkai Energy at all, rained down on Sirin.

What disgusted Sirin the most wasn't just this, but the fact that her defenses were as flimsy as paper. They were useless against anyone stronger than her and unnecessary against anyone weaker. It was the most pathetic defense system in history.

Even Einstein would shake her head in disappointment if she saw this.

She glanced down at the watch on her wrist. The Honkai Energy concentration displayed was rising rapidly. Even with her current body, she was starting to feel uncomfortable.

Let alone the ordinary people in Academy City.

But this had no effect on Tesla. It only made her shine brighter.

As someone who could use Honkai Energy to construct circuits and recreate the SELENE, Tesla was now the throne in the sky.

The more powerful Tesla became, the more it highlighted the power of the one who had created her current body.

"This level of Honkai Energy will probably affect the entire city," Einstein said, looking up at Tesla. The light was so blinding she had to put on sunglasses.

Even so, the SELENE light tube hanging in the sky was continuously absorbing the overflowing Honkai Energy, which in turn transformed into new energy, creating new light tubes.

This resulted in a strange equilibrium.

Whenever the Honkai Energy concentration in Academy City rose, it was absorbed and turned into light that shone down.

The result was that the temperature and brightness of the entire city were constantly increasing. Even the surrounding cities of Nagazora were affected.

This was no longer a small sun; it was an attempt to create a second, larger sun on Earth.

Herrschers had a kind of telepathic connection.

Sirin thought this woman was insane, constantly sniping at her from a distance as if trying to pin her down here.

She had the Herrscher Core of Death; she couldn't be killed. Why was she engaging in a war of attrition here?

"What do you want? Even if you're seeking revenge on me, there's no need to wait for the next Herrscher to be born, is there?"

Raven said nothing, simply raising her hand and firing her gun with even more vigor.

Sirin tried to reason with her, but the other side didn't seem to be listening. Her only option was to leave Academy City as soon as possible, but there were "mosquitoes" flying everywhere outside the city.

One of those mosquitoes could bite you, and with your Honkai Energy, you'd be sent straight to heaven.

The rigid separation between inside and outside was not only a threat to Raven but also to Sirin. Especially since Sirin had the Core of Death, she would just teleport back instead of dying on the spot.

The best place to hide was actually the moon.

Sirin knew she couldn't get entangled with this madwoman any longer. She decided to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to leave.

Ana was experimenting. At this moment, she no longer knew what she was experimenting on.

She wanted to save her friend, but she didn't know if her friend would still be her friend after being saved.

As she focused single-mindedly on using Honkai Energy, the power of the Herrscher began to corrode her body and mind.

Humans are beings held hostage by matter.

Unlike the instincts of other animals, when humans are held hostage by matter, they exhibit behaviors that imbue matter with "human meaning."

This unique behavior makes people believe they have mastered matter.

Just like now, Ana witnessed with her own eyes a new, living Shiina Mahiru constructed from Honkai factors.

It's all my fault. If I hadn't led the Valkyries out, if I hadn't believed those people... I didn't realize they just wanted to dismantle Academy City...

You said I could escape the troubles at home here. You said I could meet many friends who wouldn't care about my past...

You said you believed the Valkyries would protect everyone from the Honkai...

But none of that matters anymore.

Schicksal doesn't need so many Valkyries...

And people don't need these Valkyries who are indifferent to the experiments...

Schariac, Kaslana...

Nothing in this world matters anymore.

Crystal-clear ice sealed Shiina Mahiru's body, stopping the spread of her Honkai sickness. The relentless assault of Honkai factors began her transformation into a Deadwalker.

Only those who could withstand the threat of this transformation could become new life forms capable of resisting Honkai corrosion.

The roar of a dragon echoed through the sky.

Benares soared through the heavens and descended by Sirin's side. The return to a two-on-one situation completely nullified Raven's kiting tactics.

Sirin regained the upper hand.

But by now, Raven's job was done. Her main task was to stall the mobile Sirin.

"I hope you get a chance to meet the other Herrscher..."

As an excellent mercenary, Raven had successfully delayed Sirin and prevented her from meeting the newly born Herrscher.

But in her heart, Raven didn't think Gray Serpent's plan had succeeded.

To dismantle Academy City, simply stalling Tesla and the Second Herrscher was not enough.

The initial attack on the power grid was to prevent Tesla from pursuing them. But Tesla's mind was far more agile than what people imagined of the Herrscher of Thunder.

Who would have thought that the Herrscher of Thunder, instead of obediently summoning lightning and causing destruction, would act as a light source to maintain the overall environment of Academy City?

Tesla's actions were too fast, and her mobility was too strong.

The ball lightning surrounding the plasma rings alone was enough to dissuade Gray Serpent from making any further moves against the Herrscher of Thunder.

This one was different from the Herrscher of the Void. Her actions were more akin to direct intervention in human affairs, rather than the traditional, direct opposition to humanity.

Gray Serpent abandoned his plan against Tesla and left.

With the spread of Tesla's power and the battle between the Second Herrscher and Raven, the concentration of Honkai Energy was escalating in an indescribable way.

Many people in Academy City began to gradually contract the Honkai sickness.

For Jackal's Heliopolis Life Sciences, it was like heaven on earth, with test subjects everywhere.

But for ordinary people, this era was like a maddening hell.

Outside, the Honkai sickness meant instant death. Inside, it meant mandatory modification.

There was no choice.

Noldrei, like a cold emperor, sat on high, dictating the rigid path of humanity's future.

Perhaps in the future, someone would discover what he had done, but for now...

Everyone, saved by their beloved Chairman of the Board of Directors, would cheer for his accomplishments.
