Chat Group: Starting by Swapping Bodies with Elysia?

The all-encompassing pink crystal barrier blocked the fierce wind and snow from the outside. The Herrscher of the Void's domain advantage had already been broken and occupied by the power of Origin.

And the Second Herrscher, Sirin, was also covered in wounds. One of her arms was even broken, and there was a huge hole in her abdomen.

Normally, these extremely serious injuries for ordinary humans would be nothing but something that could easily be healed for a Herrscher with enough Honkai energy.

But now, she clearly did not have that luxury.

"Finally reached her limit, huh? My wait was not in vain."

Jiang Qiao revealed a knowing smile. He looked undeniably adorable with Elysia's appearance.

For a Herrscher, as long as they had enough Honkai energy, they could easily recover from even the most serious non-fatal injuries.

The Herrscher of the Void, who had control over Imaginary Space, undoubtedly made this kind of bug-like survivability even stronger.

After all, even among all the Herrschers, the girl in front of him was definitely among the top when it came to surviving.

He couldn't do what Himeko Murata had done later, which was to defeat the Herrscher of the Void head-on.

Firstly, Jiang Qiao didn't have the same rich combat experience as her.

Secondly, the Herrscher of Origin didn't have the same destructive power as the Herrscher of Flame, which was enough to forcefully break through the limits of space.

But—

Why did he have to be like Himeko Murata?

Different people had different ways of fighting. Knowing this well, Jiang Qiao naturally chose a fighting style that was characteristic of the Herrscher of Origin.

"This all-encompassing crystal barrier has separated all Honkai energy in the Siberian snowfield."

"Without the external support of Honkai energy, and with the Honkai energy you had stored during your awakening being rapidly lost due to the power of Origin, how could you possibly outlast me, who has the support of all the Honkai energy in Siberia?"

Standing on top of the Origin Spirit, looking down at his opponent, Jiang Qiao held a pink crystal flower that was characteristic of Elysia. With his youthful looks, his divine pink eyes were filled with playfulness and mockery.

"You're still going to struggle?"

Looking at the Void Lances flying towards him from the Herrscher of the Void's hands, the girl sighed and waved her scepter.

The quietly appearing crystal barrier deflected all of the Void Lances.

Because of the large consumption of Honkai energy, not only was the force much weaker, but even the characteristics of the Void Lance couldn't be maintained.

These were just powerless thrown spears.

"I'm getting a little tired of this drawn-out battle."

"No matter how beautiful the exterior is, it's still just a doll when it lacks an inner self."

Jiang Qiao leaned against the Origin Spirit and looked at Sirin, who was imprisoned by chains of crystal that stretched out from all directions and was still struggling, and said softly:

"Although you are indeed very entertaining, unfortunately, I don't have a personal hobby of playing with dolls."

"People in the distant future are still waiting for me, so, let's end this game here, okay?"

"Begin with me… end with me!"

As Jiang Qiao slowly raised her scepter, the girl's soft mutter brought an end to the battle.

The sky-covering crystal barrier gradually dissipated, leaving only the traces of the battle in the surroundings.

Slowly descending from the Origin Spirit, the scepter in his hand gradually disintegrated and vanished.

Stepping on the melting snow, the pink girl came to the side of the Second Herrscher, who was nearing the end of her life.

He reached out and touched the girl's face, which still held a warmth of life.

"Although I don't know if you can hear me."

"But perhaps, at the end of your life, you would want to hear these words."

"Ich liebe dich, Sirin."

The voice was very soft and very gentle.

It may have been an illusion, but it seemed like a single tear fell from the corner of the girl's eye.

Jiang Qiao didn't know anything about the girl in front of her, not even her name, relying only on his speculation about the Previous Era's naming style.

But in these final moments, he still subconsciously did what Cecilia did in the later era, saying those words to her.

How contradictory, he had personally killed her, and yet, he was saying these words.

"Am I being a bit shameless?"

Jiang Qiao lightly touched his somewhat cold cheek with a hint of self-mockery.

What a pity.

If he had been able to come sooner, perhaps he could have saved this child.

Unfortunately, the power of the Herrscher of Origin was not all-powerful. For people like this, who had been a Herrscher for too long, and had even lost what they cared for, it was ultimately difficult to save them.

But perhaps, the power of the Finality could do it?

Looking at the crystal flower in his hand, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but have such thoughts.

He placed the crystal flower in his hand, which had turned a deep purple, on Sirin's gradually cooling body.

With the Honkai energy that he was actively driving, her wounded body had been restored to its original state.

Although this was actually meaningless.

But if it had been Elysia, she would have said:

The closer the story is to its end, the more beautiful you should dress up.

Like the Ephemeral Flower, the moment of life's end was also the most beautiful moment of one's life.

Beautiful girls were the same, right?

So.

"I was just doing what the owner of this body would do."

The battle was over, but this Second Honkai Eruption would not end so simply.

After all, the other members of Fire Moth probably wouldn't have even dreamt that while they were still gradually establishing defenses and thinking about how to defeat the troublesome spatial-type Herrscher.

Their biggest problem had already been defeated head-on by a girl from a reconnaissance squad without them knowing.

"Ah, someone's coming."

As a Herrscher who had control over all the Honkai energy in Siberia, the very sensitive Jiang Qiao looked in a certain direction.

According to the original information, it was because of this great victory that Elysia's status in Fire Moth had increased rapidly, and she was even seen as very important by the higher-ups.

So, even if he had defeated the Herrscher of the Void, he had to digest this achievement that he had obtained.

Otherwise, without this status, not to mention the more distant future, even the Veliona that Mobius might catch and try to kill soon, Elysia wouldn't be able to interfere with.

Not to mention that the higher-ups of Fire Moth seemed to be somewhat influential. Without status, beautiful girls like him could easily be swallowed whole, bones and all.

"Well, I can't expose the fact that I'm a Herrscher~"

The Herrscher parts of him gradually disappeared with a snap of Jiang Qiao's fingers, and his body returned to the anti-Honkai energy suit he had been wearing before.

He looked at the Origin Spirit that had been accompanying him by his side and said with a smile:

"There's no place for you to be of use for now. So, please go back for now, okay?"

The Origin Spirit naturally had a place where it should be, which was Elysia's old home, the Origin Space.

After doing all of this, the pink girl waited in place for the people from Fire Moth to arrive, her azure eyes seemed to be looking at the distant future.

…I wonder how things are going with Elysia.
