I'm in Honkai Impact's Infinite Abyss!

Wasn't it said that only those who became Herrschers or specifically want to become Herrschers could see the Will of Honkai?

Luo Lin was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Honkai God; her mouth moved several times but couldn't utter a word.

The marble figure tilted its head and, with a voice resembling that of a girl but calm as if it were mechanical, said, "You are afraid, and you have doubts."

Luo Lin finally regained her composure and looked at the highly palpable figure in front of her, her thoughts spinning rapidly.

It seems like it doesn't intend to kill me?

Oh, it seems like the Will of Honkai really hasn't personally killed anyone, at most, it just murmurs softly in the ears of the Herrschers...

"...What do you want?"

The figure turned its head, looking towards the rift opened by the out-of-control Herrscher of the Void not far away, and said,

"That rift leads directly to the Quantum Sea, the defense line of the Imaginary Trees has a loophole because of it, I am here to close it."

Luo Lin sensed something was wrong.

"Close it? How?"

"Naturally, by using the Herrscher, Herrscher of the Void."

The marble figure pointed to Kiana, kneeling in the snow, and the vast power of Honkai, like its sudden appearance, engulfed the small figure.

In this paused world, the power of Honkai gathered towards Kiana like it was being sucked into a black hole, forming a deep purple vortex.

Then, a golden, soul-like shadow emerged from Kiana's body, gradually solidifying!

Luo Lin watched the tangible Herrscher of the Void hovering above Kiana, her eyes widened.

What trick is this? Separating the Herrscher of the Void and Kiana?

"No! This is..."

Under Luo Lin's tense gaze, the Herrscher of the Void were dyed gray by the marble, and its size rapidly increased, transforming from a little girl into a teenage girl.

Three Subspace Lance of the Herrscher and wings appeared behind her, and the distinctive flowing ribbon Law outfit was perfectly replicated.

Now, she looked exactly like the Herrscher of the Void that Luo Lin clashed with every day in the Memorial Arena, except there was no color on her, making her look like a gray model without textures!

Luo Lin looked back to where the Will of Honkai had stood before, only to find that it had disappeared.

The gray Herrscher of the Void, however, made a move. She looked at her own body with interest, saying, "So this is how you perceive the Herrscher of the Void, outsider."

What's this? Has the Herrscher of the Void account been logged in from another location?!

"Mind reading...?"

"No, outsider, I can't read your mind. There's something interesting protecting you... That's also why you caught the attention of the Trees and the Sea."

[Herrscher of the Void] snapped their fingers, and a black-purple light enveloped Kiana, who was beside Luo Lin.

The Valkyrie quickly raised the serum in her hand and stabbed forward, only to hit nothing.

The white furball took on the same translucent state as the Herrscher of the Void when evading attacks, although her silhouette was still visible, it couldn't be interfered with or touched.

There were several threads of Honkai energy connecting Kiana and the Herrscher of the Void, and the white furball continuously absorbed energy from them, transmitting it to the Herrscher of the Void!

Isn't this like the type where there's a core inside the outer shell of those imaginary constructs?!

Oh, it seems like Herrschers really are something from the Imaginary side!!

Luo Lin cursed inwardly, her plan to directly end the battle by giving Kiana another dose of the serum failed right at the start.

Next, with the second snap of [Herrscher of the Void], the entire world returned to its unperturbed state.

The immensely concentrated power of Honkai abruptly appeared in the center of the battlefield like a bomb, exploding and causing almost all the Valkyries to lose consciousness in an instant!

Among the few figures still standing, Siegfried Kaslana, Ragnar Lothbrok, and Himeko stared at the center of the explosion—

They saw a large gray Herrscher of the Void floating in the air, with the unconscious Kiana suspended by an almost invisible thread, the other end of which was connected to the body of [Herrscher of the Void].

The black and gold box that had already suppressed the Herrscher of the Void exploded into pieces, Luo Lin was engulfed in a red light generated by the shattered Scepter of Duat, and then carried far away by the shockwave of Honkai, falling into the snowdrift.

The Herrscher of the Void looked at the out-of-control rift in the distance, and with an expressionless face, snapped their third finger—

Countless deep purple cubes emerged from the edge of the rift, quickly blocking the entire gap, while on the other side, the Quantum Shadows futilely attacked the barrier, emitting terrifying roars.

[Herrscher of the Void] raised their head slightly, their gray eyes seemingly penetrating through space's barriers, locking onto another presence.

...

The Quantum Sea receded slightly, watching as this hard-won rift was filled by its nemesis and disappeared.

Their thoughts trembled slightly, leaving behind a trace of energy in place.

Just... to play it safe.

Then, their gaze shifted away, returning to the vast endless sea.

---

"What's going on?!" Himeko planted her greatsword into the ground, supporting her body, and asked with difficulty.

"I don't know, the data has never shown the Herrscher of the Void having this form! Siegfried!"

Ragnar's body swayed slightly, she endured the pain of Honkai erosion and moved her body, quickly adapting to this environment.

The white-haired man had never seen Sirin use such a form either, it should be a new technique she developed during these years of hiding.

Siegfried gripped the handle of the Cleaver of Shamash tightly and shouted loudly, "Ragnar, get out of the way, I'm going to unleash the shackles of the Judgement of Shamash!"

"Okay!"

Ragnar couldn't pretend she didn't understand the consequences of unlocking the Judgement of Shamash's restraints, but she understood that the situation now was extremely dire...

Moreover, looking into the eyes of the captain of the Assault Squad, she understood that Siegfried Kaslana had already made a decision.

The white-haired man, taking a deep breath, twisted the handle of the Cleaver of Shamash.

With Siegfried's action, the blade of the Cleaver of Shamash already red, became even purer in color, and flames danced around the hilt, wrapping around the blade.

Ragnar, who was next to him, saw clearly that those flames were actually Honkai energy, condensed into the appearance of flames under the control of the Key of Destruction!

Siegfried felt the familiar and intense pain of Honkai erosion. He raised the Cleaver of Shamash high and fiercely swung it towards he gathering Honkai beasts!

"Shamash, Roar—!"

The next moment, a fierce wind roared, and the flames illuminated the earth, with a momentum no less than the previous explosion crossing the battlefield, incinerating all the Honkai beasts that tried to approach the unconscious Valkyries into ashes.

The Might of An-utu not only eliminated the Honkai beasts, but also created wide rifts in the ground, where the soil melted due to the high temperature, forming a flowing lava area, delaying the Honkai beasts' subsequent attacks.

"I'll go help my team members... Siegfried, it's up to you!"

Looking at the exaggerated scene in front of her, Ragnar slumped her shoulders weakly.

This level of confrontation had already exceeded her ability to cope with, so she made a decision to leave the task of attacking the Herrscher to Siegfried, while she went to rescue the vanguard members who couldn't move.

Siegfried turned his head, pointing the tip of the sword at the floating gray [Herrscher of the Void].

"Give my daughter back to me!!"
