Chapter 262: Sirin Instantly Defeated by Immortal Fu Hua? The #1 Fraud of Honkai Impact 3rd?
The righteous side Cocolia displayed in her youth left the audience in absolute awe. On second thought, it wasn't impossible to understand. After all, Kevin Kaslana wasn't always the way he is now, and the same went for Otto Apocalypse. It is only natural for people to change after experiencing major upheavals.
Cocolia led "Mother Duck" in an attempt to evade a siege of Honkai Beasts, but they eventually found themselves in a desperate situation. Fortunately, Cecilia Schariac appeared just in time to save them. However, in this terrifying Honkai eruption, very few people in Siberia survived; Cocolia and "Mother Duck" were two of the lucky ones. Even with Cecilia personally leading search teams to rescue survivors, they only managed to save a few dozen people. This illustrated the sheer scale of the disaster that had befallen Siberia.
To counter this unprecedented army of Honkai Beasts, under Otto's orders, Schicksal launched heavy weapon strikes against the Siberian plains. Schicksal poured all its firepower onto the plains, turning the entire region into a living purgatory. Yet, even after exhausting Schicksal's entire stockpile of heavy missiles, they failed to annihilate the Honkai army. Consequently, the remaining beasts had to be cleared by Valkyrie units. Under Otto's command, the Valkyrie units charged into the Siberian plains, which had been transformed into a sea of fire. With at least 50,000 Honkai Beasts remaining on the tundra, it was a severe test for the entire Schicksal Valkyrie force.
Siegfried Kaslana was the first to encounter the surviving beasts and became locked in combat. During the battle, Benares suddenly appeared to join the fray, making a fierce clash unavoidable. Sirin, leisurely observing everything, felt nothing but contempt for human strength. However, at that moment, Otto, Cheng Lixue, and Fu Hua appeared behind her. Seeing the three manifest before Sirin, the viewers in the livestream were stunned.
[What's going on? Lord Otto is going to fight the 2nd Herrscher?]
[Lord Otto and Immortal Fu Hua are teaming up against the 2nd Herrscher? For real?]
[Stop joking. Otto has some tricks up his sleeve, but it's unrealistic for him to defeat Sirin in a frontal confrontation, right?]
[But that's Otto. Do you think he'd do something he wasn't sure of? I bet he already has a way to deal with the 2nd Herrscher...]
[The problem is, the current Sirin is a six-core Herrscher! What means does Otto have to face her?]
Clearly, the conversation centered on Otto and Fu Hua. As for Cheng Lixue... she was the weakest among the three present, and it was impossible to expect her to fight Sirin, so there was no need for discussion. In fact, from the very beginning, Fu Hua requested a one-on-one duel with Sirin. Looking at Fu Hua, Sirin felt insulted. How could a mere "paramecium" dare to challenge her alone?
Cheng Lixue asked Otto with concern, "Overseer, do we really not need to help my Master's... mother?" Otto looked confident: "She is enough on her own."
[Old friend, within the domain of Fenghuang Down, you can use your strongest power. When that strength, lost for 500 years, returns to your body—you are the strongest person in this world.]
Otto's inner thoughts made "Senti" (Herrscher of Sentience) widen her eyes. "Whoa, Old Timer, it turns out Otto is a die-hard fan of yours? That guy actually thinks that highly of you?"
Fu Hua couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. "A die-hard fan...?" Do you even hear yourself, kid? Have you forgotten the shot from "Celestial Fenghuang, I did not lie"?
"I get it. Otto's love turned into hate. After you saw through his true face, his ugly side was completely exposed before his idol—you, Old Timer. That's why he pulled the trigger with such resentment!" Watching Senti's wild analysis, Fu Hua looked at the sky speechlessly. She wanted to speak but ultimately said nothing. When one reaches a certain level of exasperation, words truly fail.
The highly anticipated battle between Herrscher of the Void Sirin and Fu Hua officially began. Under the excited gaze of the audience, Fu Hua made the first move. However, before the Herrscher of the Void, no matter how strong the power or fast the speed, Sirin would not take it seriously. Human attacks cannot penetrate a Herrscher's Imaginary Barrier.
But half a second later, Sirin realized she was wrong. What she saw wasn't a single fist, but... a wall of fists composed of hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of strikes! No, it was a storm of fists! Most of the fists hit the Imaginary Barrier and vanished, but one in ten thousand passed through the gaps in the barrier! Only then did Sirin realize the Imaginary Barrier wasn't perfect. Then, unable to dodge, she was hit. Sirin was shocked, and the moment she faltered, the Imaginary Barrier collapsed. Afterward, countless more fists rained down on her!
Though these attacks were minor to a Herrscher's body, they completely infuriated Sirin. She tried to corrode Fu Hua's body with the black mist of the Herrscher of Death, but she could not extinguish the five thousand years of flame on Fu Hua's fists. In the next moment, an "Edge Taixuan" strike hit Sirin squarely. Her body shot out like a cannonball, crashing through the high tower of Babylon Labs.
Fu Hua asked Cheng Lixue to lend her the weapon "Water's Edge." The blown-away Sirin finally realized what had happened. She, a dignified Herrscher and an apostle of God, had been... by a mere human...
In her unwillingness and rage, Sirin used the power of the Herrscher of Wind, releasing wind blades that left massive scars on the surface of Babylon Tower. However, her attacks could not hit Fu Hua! In an instant, Fu Hua was right in front of her. Looking at her figure, a familiar, hateful feeling began to occupy Sirin's heart. It was something she felt every day before becoming a Herrscher... the feeling of fear.
["You... stay away from me!!"]
A terrified Sirin released the power of the Herrscher of Flame, but those flames awakened Fu Hua's memories from fifty thousand years ago. It was a wish she had held for fifty thousand years; during those eons, whenever she closed her eyes, she would think about how to fight those Herrschers. The Herrscher of Death, Wind, Flame, or Void... she had already found the way to break them all.
The next moment, Fu Hua struck. "Taixuan Sword Shape—Swallow's Flight." This move completely extinguished the Herrscher of Flame's fire and pierced Sirin's chest with a sword, defeating her. Seeing Sirin pierced by "Water's Edge" on the screen, the audience was stunned.
"Holy crap! Old Timer, you're too cool!" Senti couldn't help but jump up. "That was a six-core Herrscher! Six cores! You soloed her that easily? That's way too strong!" Seeing the "Old Timer" show such power, Senti, as her number one fan, naturally cheered. "So you call yourself a Herrscher? Huh? Do you understand the value of our Shenzhou Flatlands Old Timer! Don't you know this land? I, Celestial Fenghuang, am the boss!"
[Wow? I'm awake, one-shot kill, what else is there to say?]
[Wait? What? Brother? Let me catch my breath. You mean... Sirin, the six-core Herrscher who got power from the Will of Honkai herself, was one-shotted by Immortal Fu Hua?]
[This is freaking ridiculous. Is this a 'fierce battle'? It looks like a total stomp! Isn't Fu Hua's gameplay just 'smurfing'??]
[Immortal Fu Hua has played so many 'Pro' matches; she's been playing in the 'Peak Tournament' since the Previous Era season fifty thousand years ago. A mere Herrscher trash from the Current Era thinks they can touch a 'Grandmaster' from the Previous Era?]
The audience was incredibly baffled by Sirin's defeat. Everyone expected a clash of titans. Instead, the six-core Herrscher was hunted down and crushed in no time.
[Freaking Sirin, are those six cores just for decoration?]
[No, how can you fight like this with six cores? You used three small skills and then got caught and bullied by Fu Hua? What kind of play is this?]
[Guys, here's something funny. The Herrscher of Wind's ability is to control fluids; strictly speaking, there is nothing in this world the Herrscher of Wind's power cannot cut. But Sirin's actual performance was... scratching Babylon Tower.]
[Fine, fine, say no more. I declare that 'Teacher Sirin' will take over from 'Teacher Raiden' as the #1 Fraud of Honkai Impact 3rd!]
The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The audience, who had been tense because of Sirin's arrival, expected a grand battle. Instead, Sirin was "elegantly" one-shotted by Immortal Fu Hua.
"Now I understand. Although the power of a six-core Herrscher is strong, Sirin... doesn't seem to know how to use it at all..." Kiana Kaslana had a look of realization. "It's just like what the Class Monitor taught me in the main story. At that time, I had a massive amount of Honkai energy in my body, but that power could even hurt me if not handled well. So, controlling the power is the priority... Having a body full of Honkai energy but being unable to use it freely, that's probably why Sirin lost."
"So in summary... Sirin is a little dummy?" Kiana's words made Sirin look very aggrieved. "Big sister, you..."
Siegfried Kaslana sprayed his drink on the spot. "Kiana! I've endured you for a long time! How can you be such a sister! Sirin isn't a dummy! You're the biggest dummy!"
Kiana's eyes widened. "Dad, can you be any more obvious with your favoritism? Am I not your daughter too? You double-standard guy!"
"Is it the same treating a well-behaved child and a mischievous one? Don't forget, you used to steal Sirin's snacks every day when you were little! And you played so many pranks, like secretly putting a toy snake in Sirin's pocket!"
"That—that's all in the past! Are you bringing this up now to interrogate me?!"
"Kiana, my foolish daughter—my point is to tell you that when dealing with a brat like you, one cannot be soft-hearted!"
"Huh? Stinky Dad, you're in no position to lecture me! Do you want me to spill all your embarrassing stories?!"
Watching the two "treasures" of the Kaslana family start their routine bickering, Theresa Apocalypse shrugged helplessly. These two idiots were cut from the same cloth; they were definitely father and daughter.
The audience was still lamenting Sirin's coronation as the #1 Fraud, but the next plot twist made them realize how terrifying the situation actually was. It turned out Fu Hua had not killed Sirin. Instead, she used the power of Fenghuang Down to control Sirin, and the previous battle happened entirely within an illusion. Fu Hua used Fenghuang Down to control Sirin's consciousness, which was why she could defeat Sirin so overwhelmingly in the dream.
But... "In a way, it's even more ridiculous... That's a six-core Herrscher, and she was directly controlled by the Old Timer's Fenghuang Down." Senti was also speechless. "At this point, I want to complain too. Is Fenghuang Down omnipotent? It feels like it can do anything... Truly one of the top Divine Keys in Honkai Impact 3rd..."
The image of Sirin's consciousness being controlled by Fu Hua added a big "WEAK" tag to her evaluation. After all, who would have thought a single Divine Key could solo a six-core Herrscher? One can only say the creator of Fenghuang Down (Vill-V) really has bragging rights, given its ridiculous track record.
After Sirin's consciousness was controlled by Fu Hua, Otto also entered Sirin's consciousness using a Mimicry Fenghuang Down. To find the secret of the Herrscher of Death and a way to bring Kallen Kaslana back to life, he manipulated Sirin's memories. He made Sirin relive her parting with her mother. Under Otto's manipulation, Sirin's mother in the illusion cried out for help, fueling Sirin's desire to resurrect her. In this memory, Otto transformed himself into the form of Benares...
"Pffft—" Seeing Otto transform into Benares in the illusion and calling Sirin "My Queen," the audience couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
"After 'Lady Green Lily,' is this Otto's latest masterpiece? Dragon Girl Apocalypse? Pffft—"
