There's a saying that goes, "Fu Hua may not become the Herrscher, but the Herrscher can become Fu Hua."
"Who became Fu Hua? I am a Herrscher, the Herrscher of Sentience! How could I possibly fail in this aspect..."
The voice of the Herrscher gradually weakened as she felt uncomfortable under Luo Lin's gaze, finally lowering her head in resignation.
"...Well, it's true that Fu Hua's memories have made my head a bit unclear."
Senti's tone was filled with disappointment. She wasn't actually herself from the memories, which was quite difficult to accept.
The gray-haired Herrscher pressed her temples, took a deep breath, then looked at Luo Lin with disbelief:
"Wait a minute? You find me cute? Want to pat my head? Want to make emojis? What are emojis... I see, come here! Let me give you a brain blast!"
Luo Lin pursed her lips, obediently walking over to Senti's side, and the gray-haired Herrscher didn't really use much force, just lightly tapping her head.
"I'm probably the most embarrassing one among the Herrschers..."
"The most embarrassing? Then I have to mention that Herrscher of Wind who got bodied."
Luo Lin couldn't sleep once this topic came up! Who's embarrassing? Look at Wendy getting solo killed by the Titan of Anti Entropy!
How embarrassing is that!
The Herrscher of Sentience saw in the link, dumbfounded at Wendy's "touching" deeds, she could only finally admit defeat to that: "I was abrupt. I didn't expect there was an even more embarrasing Herrscher. It's truly enlightening... And what's this about Honkai Impact 2?"
"Hiss~"
Luo Lin couldn't help but cringe a bit. She said, "I don't know much about it, but I can assure you that Honkai Impact 2 is much more intense than here. Herrschers are like wholesale goods over there..."
Sentience could feel Luo Lin's wariness towards that "Honkai Impact 2," and couldn't help but feel a bit curious.
The subtle expressions of the Herrscher of Sentience were easy to understand, but Luo Lin warned her very seriously: "Really, don't even think about it. I heard that Honkai Impact 2 is related to 'Cthulhu,' possessing an unpredictable and desperate worldview. Stay away from that."
Senti felt a bit uneasy, and Luo Lin let her know what Cthulhu was, which made the Herrscher quickly withdrew her thoughts about Luo Lin's memories about it and focused inwardly.
"Never mind that, let me continue telling you the story of the Herrscher of Sentience..."
As Senti woke up, Otto rushed over to visit her, ready to use the previous conditions to manipulate her, but the Herrscher of Sentience didn't buy it at all. Under the induction of Honkai, she directly beat Otto up.
—"The sound of Otto's soulium face cracking under my fists is so satisfying!"
"Indeed satisfying."
Sentience imagined it a bit and felt very relieved.
Letting you use soulium to build a body, letting you manipulate me with conditions, letting you shoot me...uh, shoot Fu Hua!
Next, the Herrscher of Sentience punched the floating island of Schicksal, kicked the World Serpent's front door, and even threw a few punches at Kevin who had just emerged from the Sea of Quanta.
Fortunately, Kevin, being observant, stopped the fight after a few exchanges, and didn't bring up anything like "You're not Fu Hua." He straightforwardly handed Senti the Fenghuang Down, which housed Fu Hua's consciousness.
Then Senti energetically powered up the Fenghuang Down, Fu Hua woke up from her coma, looking confused at the other consciousness occupying her body.
What followed was an intense verbal battle, but Fu Hua had the upper hand. Considering their encounters on the way, including the Honkai outbreak she triggered under the Taixuan Mountains, she managed to break through Senti's defenses.
Well, how could the Herrscher of Sentience, who had acquired Fu Hua's memories of fifty thousand years, be a fool? She naturally sensed something was off about herself, but she kept arguing stubbornly. At that time, she was as stubborn as a snake!
"...I'm just curious, why do you think Mobius as one of the Thirteen Flamechasers who was also a doctor with amazing combat power—yet she left you with the impression of being 'stubborn'?"
"That's another story altogether, from the Elysian Realm... Let's finish telling the story of the Herrscher of Sentience first..."
Sentu took the initiative to use force, capturing Kiana and Bronya who rushed over upon hearing the news of Fu Hua appearing at the Mount Taixu, and had them judge who the real Fu Hua was...
Insert a sleeping duck image.jpg here.
In the end, everyone knew that Kiana was also very straightforward. Together with Fu Hua, they completely broke through Senti's heart, entered into battle mode, and after a brilliant and outstanding battle, Fu Hua cooperated with Kiana to execute the move "Edge of Taixuan - Taixuan Eminence," clashing with Sentience's purple phoenix...
Senti lost, and Fu Hua was ready to seal Senti with her life, but Kiana pulled her out, accompanied by a tear-jerking song, along with Fu Hua's amazing emotional intelligence displayed at the end, she managed to salvage the family relationship with Senti, and the matter was resolved quite perfectly.
"This purple phoenix looks familiar, and these moves... Wow, so the 'Herrscher of Sentience' I fought before was constructed from your memories?"
Senti grabbed Luo Lin's ear, twisting it angrily a couple of times.
Luo Lin yelped in pain, begging for mercy, hoping Senti would calm down.
Unfortunately, all these calculations were seen through by Senti through their mental link.
She chuckled and said, "I get it now, Luo Lin, you're quite the loose-lipped prophet, huh?"
"Indeed."
Luo Lin didn't argue back; she indeed was a loose-lipped prophet, mostly acting based on the information she gathered from the game's storyline here. But... now with the Void, Thunder, and Sentience suddenly appearing in Nagazora, who knows how the storyline will escalate.
It's giving her a headache...
Luo Lin felt a bit helpless. After all, she was just one person facing the chaos of the world's timeline; she could only do her best.
"Luo Lin, I think you should find some help..."
Sentience said softly.
"Help... Well, but I can't find anyone to help me, can I? Am I supposed to go around telling people I know what the future holds? I'd end up being locked up as a lunatic, and if Otto finds out, I might even end up as sliced meat... Besides, the future won't be what I foresee anymore..."
"Is there a possibility that the helper you need is far away yet right in front of you?"
Luo Lin blinked, looking at the gray-haired girl in front of her.
...Huh???
"That would be great, please help me!"
"A wise child can teach the gods."
Sentience gently stroked Luo Lin's head. "Aww, so cute~"
Don't touch it, it's embarrassing..."
"Hmph, this is punishment for your previous thought of touching me!"
The Herrscher of Sentience smiled, and another piece of quantum erosion on [Fenghuang Down] disappeared.
There's only one left.
"Luo Lin, what regrets do you have?"
