Chapter 253: "I, Welt, Challenge You on Behalf of Humanity!"
Anger! Shaking! Cold!
Siegfried Kaslana felt that in the thirty-degree weather, the live broadcast room was as cold as ice, and he complained about this unjust treatment with a face full of grief and indignation.
"You're such a big person, yet you're as competitive as a little kid. It's not embarrassing at all."
Kiana whispered to Elysia on the side.
"Kiana, did you say something just now?"
"No, I didn't say anything! I hate you, Dad, you must have misheard~ How could a good child like me say bad things about you?"
"...When can you change that tone of voice? It gives me goosebumps just listening to it."
"What, what are you saying, Dad? I'm no longer the person I used to be! Now I've turned over a new leaf and am determined to be a good president! The first step is to start changing the way I speak!"
Looking at the dialogue between the father and daughter, Su Mu rolled his eyes on the side. Come on.
No matter how much you pretend, it's useless. Anyway, it's only a matter of time before you're exposed...
Su Mu's peripheral vision looked at the "Three of Us" standing outside the live broadcast room and couldn't help but sigh. With Kiana's clumsy acting skills, even if Kallen Kaslana couldn't tell, could Yae Sakura not tell?
He also underestimated the old fox's calculating ability.
Alas, if she's worried about her position as president being insecure, there's no need to tell such a lie. One lie requires more lies to cover up... Forget it, I'll talk to Kallen Kaslana in person after the live broadcast ends.
After all, no matter the reason, if that idiot Kiana doesn't continue to be the CEO of miHoYo, I'll have a real headache.
Regarding whether Welt Yang actually had a shady deal with Su Mu, the audience in the live broadcast room put forward their own views.
[Shady deal? What shady deal? You should say Old Welt offended the old thief, right?]
[True, don't forget that Old Welt was almost killed by Kevin Kaslana in the Sea of Quanta!]
[Would a real shady deal let Old Welt fight Kevin Kaslana?]
[That's enough! It's finally Old Welt's turn to show his power, stop talking about shady deals all day! Even the Rice Cooker had her highlight moment of "I will enter the kitchen to give you a full meal," didn't she?]
[Wasn't it "I will fall into darkness to exchange for your return to the light"?]
[Wasn't it "Pots and pans, surrender to me"?]
[Are you persecuting our Raiden Mei again for no reason? I think you want to be cleansed of all sins by lightning!]
[The live broadcast room is so quiet, and I don't see Raiden Mei's figure at all... Oh, Raiden Mei is in World Serpent, then it's fine.]
They were clearly discussing whether Welt Yang had a shady deal a second ago, and the next second they started mocking Raiden Mei. The sand-sculpture netizens' jumping thoughts were so unexpected.
Raiden Mei, who was working, suddenly sneezed and wondered who was talking about her behind her back.
Is it strange? Could it be that Kiana got into trouble again?
In the game, at the same time Welt Yang was confronting Sirin, inside Schicksal Headquarters.
Cecilia Schariac was cooking in the kitchen, reflecting on her actions just now, feeling that she might have been a bit too excited.
When she saw that blond-haired, blue-eyed child who looked a bit like Otto Apocalypse, Cecilia Schariac brought him back directly.
After all, for such a small child, it would be troublesome if he encountered any danger.
["Kiana also likes him very much. Before we find his parents, let him stay here first?"]
However, seeing the happy look of Kiana playing with Otto Apocalypse in the living room, Cecilia Schariac felt it didn't matter.
["Such a small child has such great strength; he truly deserves the Kaslana bloodline."]
Poor Otto Apocalypse sat cross-legged on the ground, and Kiana behind him grabbed his hair and suddenly pulled it hard!
["Braids grow long!"]
["It really hurts!!!"]
Watching Otto Apocalypse being tortured crazily by Kiana, Siegfried Kaslana also took the lead and laughed at Otto Apocalypse on the spot.
"Otto, aren't you completely becoming the comic relief? I have to say, you in this child's form are quite cute!"
Otto Apocalypse outside the live broadcast room stumbled. Good fellow, how was it his turn to be the comic relief this time? Was he going to go all the way on the road to becoming a comedian? Although he did play the "clown" in the previous Anti-Entropy visual novel...
"However, the Kiana here should be the real Kiana, right? I wonder where she went..."
Theresa Apocalypse also remembered what happened later. Siegfried Kaslana and her escaped with experimental subject K423, while the real Kiana was recovered by Schicksal... I don't know where the real Kiana went in the main story...
[I suddenly suspect that Otto Apocalypse is retaliating.]
[He's going to get back all the suffering he endured from Real Kiana on the paramecium, right? What kind of substitute literature is this?]
[The domineering Schicksal Overseer hates me?]
[Don't, don't, don't think of Otto Apocalypse as so narrow-minded. If he really wanted to retaliate, he would have done it to Real Kiana long ago. After all, wasn't Real Kiana recovered by Schicksal?]
While Lord Otto Apocalypse was being tortured by the bratty little Kiana over here, Welt Yang and Siegfried Kaslana over there were facing a formidable enemy.
Although they successfully found Theresa Apocalypse, Sirin's current appearance had already become the true Second Herrscher. Just the terrifying Honkai energy emanating from her made Siegfried Kaslana feel her strength.
["Theresa Apocalypse is still alive, take her back to Babylon for treatment immediately, I will stop the Second Herrscher"]
["Wait, I can't leave you alone!"]
["There's no time! If you don't want her to die, leave here immediately!"]
Although Siegfried Kaslana also wanted to stay and fight with Welt Yang, Theresa Apocalypse's situation was not optimistic, so he had to pick her up and rush out of the Imaginary Space.
However, Sirin didn't plan to let Siegfried Kaslana leave like that; she controlled the Void Lance to stab towards Siegfried Kaslana's back.
Welt Yang appeared behind Siegfried Kaslana a step ahead, blocked the Void Lance, and protected the two.
["To actually be able to catch my spear... Who are you?"]
Due to the power of the Herrscher of the Void, opponents unfamiliar with the Void Lance would suffer a great loss the first time. Theresa Apocalypse was a good example. The Void Lance passed directly through Judah's defense and hit her body, which directly led to her defeat.
But Welt Yang was clearly meeting Sirin for the first time, yet he could block the Void Lance directly, which made Sirin realize that the man in front of her was not simple.
["A spear located in Imaginary Space cannot be defended against using physical means. But to me, it's just an ordinary spear."]
Welt Yang directly revealed the secret of Sirin's spear, which also made the audience in the live broadcast room understand why Theresa Apocalypse's Oath of Judah could not defend against the Void Lance's attack.
["My name is Welt Yang, and like you, I am a Herrscher. I came here hoping to have a good talk with you"]
Facing Welt Yang, a look of suspicion appeared on Sirin's face.
["Herrscher? Like me?"]
But soon, the voice that guided her to get the Herrscher's power rang in her mind again. She called that voice [God].
["God? Could it be... that a complete Herrscher can talk to [Honkai]?"]
A shocked expression appeared on Welt Yang's face. After all, he was not a natural Herrscher but had inherited the Herrscher core from Welt Joyce. Therefore, he could not do such a thing as talking to [Honkai].
["Haha, I see. It seems that before me, there was a traitor who betrayed [God]..."]
["And you are just a replica of that traitor."]
["A mere fake dares to call himself a Herrscher?"]
["Use your life to pay for the sin of betrayal."]
After talking with [God], Sirin learned Welt Yang's true identity.
Undoubtedly, Welt Yang's talk failed completely this time, and ultimately the problem could only be solved through force.
After releasing the power of the Star of Eden, Welt Yang began to fight Sirin.
The battle between Herrschers had also appeared in Raiden Mei's large-scale domestic violence scene before, but Kiana's state at that time was hard to say whether she was the "Herrscher of the Void" or a human "possessing the Herrscher of the Void."
And this time, it was Welt Yang, the successor of the First Herrscher Welt Joyce, fighting Sirin... In a sense, neither of these two battles were strictly battles between two "true Herrschers."
But even so, the audience in the live broadcast room was still very excited about this battle.
After all, they also wanted to know how strong Old Welt was during the Second Honkai, and Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void... as the creator of the largest disaster area of Honkai in the current civilization, what kind of terrifying power did she have?
However, seeing that Welt Yang still used the power of the Star of Eden to attack, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but have strange expressions.
[Isn't Old Welt the Herrscher of Reason? Why has he been using the Star of Eden to attack from the beginning?]
[Yeah, in previous battles, Old Welt didn't show the ability of the Herrscher of Reason.]
[It is indeed strange.]
It was normal for the audience to feel surprised. After all, since coming to Siberia, Old Welt had been relying on the Star of Eden to fight.
The abilities related to the Herrscher of Reason had not been shown much.
While Bronya Zaychik directly started the motorcycle as soon as she got it, transforming into a ghost-fire girl and starting Speed and Passion.
But Old Welt had been using the Star of Eden... although the Star of Eden is indeed useful, otherwise why would Old Welt still be holding onto his Star of Eden in A Post-Honkai Odyssey?
[Maybe Old Welt is saving his strength? Or is there a limit to using the power of the Herrscher of Reason?]
[Didn't Kevin Kaslana say when he revoked Bronya Zaychik's driver's license that the Herrscher of Reason's core is a heavy burden on the body? Maybe it's because of this?]
[In any case, Old Welt will definitely show his true skills. After all, I don't think a Divine Key alone can defeat Sirin...]
Amidst the audience's discussions, the battle between the Herrschers began.
Just as they thought, the power of the Star of Eden could not break the Imaginary Barrier around Sirin. This meant that Welt Yang could not cause any effective damage to Sirin at all.
But soon, Welt Yang came up with a countermeasure.
He designed to come to Sirin's side, using the power of the Herrscher core to neutralize the Imaginary Barrier, and took this opportunity to attack Sirin at close range.
However, all of this was a trap set by Sirin. Welt Yang, who fell into the trap, was transported into the Imaginary Space, and what was waiting below Welt Yang was Benares' bloody mouth.
Old Welt's black-rimmed glasses flew out during the fall. This scene made Siegfried Kaslana sigh on the spot!
"That guy Welt, his main body is gone. He's not really finished this time, is he?"
[The glasses are Old Welt's main body, right?]
[No, Father-in-Law, how can you be sure the eyes are the main body and not a seal?]
[Old Welt can't really be a shockwave, can he? How did he get insta-killed by Sirin as soon as they met?]
[Old Welt, where did your style go just now? Huh?]
Seeing the image of Old Welt falling into Sirin's trap and being instantly killed, the audience in the live broadcast room also showed shocked expressions.
They thought this would be a fierce struggle, but in the end, they took off their pants just to see this?
After "eliminating" Welt Yang, Sirin prepared to continue looking for Theresa Apocalypse. She planned to kill everyone except Theresa Apocalypse and let her watch carefully.
And all of this was seen by a blond man in a white mask wearing a clown mask in the distance.
However, Welt Yang, as the successor of Welt Joyce, was not so easily defeated. Or rather, this man's existence was originally meant to become a synonym for "Welt's sit-ups."
After being swallowed into Benares' stomach, memories of being with Welt Joyce flashed through Welt Yang's mind.
Facing the dying Welt Joyce, Joachim wanted to stop the bleeding from his abdomen, but all of this was in vain.
["No, you won't die! You are our hero, Welt!"]
["Welt... is it? That's a great name, isn't it?"]
["Mm..."]
["Then, from now on, you are Welt. The Herrscher core, and the mission to protect this world—I'll leave them to you, Welt"]
After entrusting the Herrscher core and his name to Joachim, Welt Joyce closed his eyes. This First Herrscher who fought for humanity was still thinking about the future of humanity and this world in his final lesson.
["In order to commemorate that hero, I became Welt"]
["For these decades, I have kept in mind the meaning of this name"]
In the darkness, Welt Yang placed his clenched fist on his chest. He opened his eyes, and what was burning in them was the will of being Welt.
["Today, Welt will fight once again to protect this world!"]
Sirin, who was about to leave, suddenly noticed something was wrong. She turned her head sharply to look at Benares behind her.
The next moment, Benares let out a heart-piercing scream.
Welt Yang tore a large hole in Benares' stomach with both hands, lifted his hair, and looked directly at Sirin.
["Sorry, you can't leave here yet..."]
["Round two is just about to begin!"]
Benares let out an angry roar, wanting to tear the human in front of it to pieces, but its body was knocked to the ground in an instant by a sudden iron fist.
["Stay out of the way"]
And for Welt Yang, this was as simple as doing a trivial thing!
The next moment, dozens of Anti-Entropy mechs suddenly appeared behind Welt Yang. He opened his arms and faced Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, in front of him.
["Second Herrscher, get ready..."]
["To face the First Herrscher..."]
["To face the power of Welt?!"]
Intense artillery fire instantly submerged Sirin's body. Regarding the attacks of these mechs that suddenly appeared, Sirin first thought it was an ambush set by Welt Yang in advance.
But how could mere human weapons...
However, Sirin soon noticed that these mechs could actually cause damage to her Imaginary Barrier, which made her fly into a rage in an instant!
["Stop joking! How can human weapons hurt God!"]
["Let me tell you how vulnerable human weapons are!"]
In a fit of rage, Sirin used her power to destroy those mechs.
However, Welt Yang once again created new mechs in front of Sirin!
Looking at those mechs, Sirin finally realized that these mechs were actually created by Welt Yang!
["Have you finally discovered it? This is the ability of the First Herrscher. As long as I understand the structural principles of a weapon, I can create it using Honkai energy"]
At the moment his power was revealed, Welt Yang drove the Herrscher core in his body crazily, his eyes glowing with red light.
Countless warships, mechs, turrets... and even huge aircraft carriers, an armed army built by human wisdom and civilization, appeared in front of Sirin at this moment!
["As long as I am still alive, this army will not fall! This is the weapon created by humans! This is the civilization created by humans!"]
Facing the Herrscher of the Void, Welt Yang opened his arms. Due to the erosion of the Herrscher core, blood was constantly oozing from his mouth and nose, and his body also felt a tearing pain.
But even so, Welt Yang did not waver in the slightest. Instead, relying on his own will, he raised humanity's sword of rebellion against "God"!
["I, Welt, represent humanity and challenge you!"]
["God! Come and test whether humans are qualified to survive!"]
["All units... fire!"]
In an instant, countless cannons and missiles locked onto Sirin at this moment!
Welt Yang transformed into the commander of this iron army made by human wisdom and civilization, and launched a challenge to Honkai!
This scene also made Herrscher of Sentience, who was watching the live broadcast, feel her blood flowing backwards, and she jumped up in excitement.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Herrscher of Sentience sent an SC highlight message directly in the live broadcast room!
"Old Welt is so cool——!!!"
In order to express her excitement, she even typed several exclamation marks in a row.
