Luo Lin was being led by Elysia to track Senti and Kalpas. After all, this was the "Elysian Realm," and only locals like Elysia could navigate here effectively.
"They're running fast!"
"In this direction... they should be heading towards the edge of the normal data space—towards the depths of the Realm."
Miss Pink Elf, while tracking, also took the opportunity to educate Luo Lin. Amidst the rushing wind and the humming of the portal, she said, "It seems like Kalpas really wants to have a good fight with that Herrscher!"
Luo Lin started to feel a headache. She knew that Kalpas's combat power was astonishing. In the story, Raiden Mei and Kalpas had fought, and the Herrscher of Thunder didn't win, and Aponia had to come out to rescue...
"Sigh, once Kalpas starts fighting, he can't stop... Elysia, do you have any way to contact Aponia for help?"
Elysia sighed, "This isn't the first time I've marveled at how much you know... but since Aponia didn't show up before, she probably doesn't plan to show up now."
"What should we do then? It seems like Senti can't beat Kalpas..."
Elysia looked at Luo Lin with surprise, "Is that what you think?"
"Huh? Did I say something wrong? Wasn't Kalpas's combat power strong. He once had an impressive record of defeating a Herrscher alone..."
The Valkyrie gestured with her hand, her face full of worry.
Miss Pink Elf twitched her mouth, "You're not wrong to say that, but... if your intelligence is correct, that Herrscher is the famous Herrscher of Sentience, in terms of just using mental attacks... Kalpas might have a hard time..."
"You mean his mental resistance is low?"
That made sense.
Aponia's "Discipline" appears to be a very special mental skill. Kalpas himself had this flaw. If the Herrscher of Sentience could use her powers as a springboard...
Luo Lin initially thought she could relax, but soon realized another problem, "Senti and I agreed not to misuse her powers. She probably wouldn't use this move against Kalpas!"
"Huh?"
Elysia was also dumbfounded. She spoke with a complicated tone to the girl, "I really don't know how you managed to make a Herrscher promise like this..."
Luo Lin said without hesitation, "I trust her, and she trusts me. Plus, her personality is probably mostly thanks to Fu Hua. You should thank Mama Hua for her successful prenatal education for 50,000 years!"
"???"
Miss Pink Elf heard these words and almost fell flat on her face in midair, showing a more spectacular expression than when Luo Lin revealed her little secret earlier.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Lin looked at Elysia strangely. She then realized what she had just said, and quickly waved her hand, saying, "It must be that I still have a bit of a hangover... Elysia, my dear Elysia, just forget everything I said."
After several seconds of hesitation, Miss Pink Elf finally came to her senses and asked with difficulty, "Wasn't there anyone who suspected your mental state before? What exactly is in your little head?"
"I can't say for sure."
Luo Lin answered somewhat guiltily.
Things like "Mei's 28cm", "Twisted Kitchen", "Project Elysium", "Impact of Emperor-level Herrschers"... she had no idea what they were, cough cough!
A few minutes later, Luo Lin and Elysia finally caught up with Senti and Kalpas.
Passing through the portal, a rolling heat wave hit them. Luo Lin had to use her Edge of Taixuan to create a shield to try to resist the high temperature outside.
This temperature could already be considered environmental damage, making the girl reminiscent of the Abyss.
Elysia on the other hand didn't show much reaction, as if these temperatures didn't affect her at all.
She looked at the raging fire tornadoes and the two figures fighting in the flames—
"Clang!"
A dull sound came from not far away, as Senti and Kalpas collided in this distorted world of high temperatures. The near-substantial collapse of the flames, like surging waves, countless shiny Honkai fragments fell from the sky, sprinkling on the gradually cracking floor.
"Hahaha!!! You are so different from the memories here!!! It's so different!!!"
Kalpas laughed loudly, and even the mask that had been on his face all the time changed slightly due to his high emotions, looking even more frightening and fierce. More intense flames erupted from his body attacking Senti.
Senti instinctively adopted a defensive stance, punching out towards the flames—that was the martial arts honed through thousands of years of battles of Fu Hua!
So, with Taixuan Ki swirling and phoenix cries echoing, the purple-red shockwave instantly shattered the flames, and the remaining sharp aura, along with the residual energy, flew towards Kalpas.
"Weak! Too weak!"
Kalpas spread his arms, embracing these attacks then tore them apart with his hands.
Smoke and fire scattered from between his fingers, blown away by his soaring momentum and rage!
"Why are you using such petty techniques?! You clearly have unparalleled power, why only use so little? Herrscher!!!"
Faced with Kalpas's questioning, Senti naturally understood where the problem lay— the combat techniques she used were derived from Fu Hua and were also limited by her.
In this current era, Fu Hua's power was severely damaged, with one tenth of her former strength remaining. Therefore, Fu Hua had developed techniques that could perfectly utilize her remaining strength.
But these techniques were not quite suitable for Senti.
Supported by the "semi-perpetual motion machine" that directly connected to the imaginary number space of the Herrscher's core, she could use much more power than Fu Hua. However, Senti had not completely mastered the techniques of using this power...
"What are you hesitating for?!"
The flames attacked, and Senti dodged, but Kalpas followed with flames, reaching out and grabbing her arm, then there was a whirl, and Senti realized that she had been grabbed by Kalpas and thrown out!
"Boom!"
She crashed heavily into the ground, countless cracks spreading from there, and Luo Lin, who was watching, could even see the shimmering data symbols within.
"This place is about to collapse."
"Yes."
Seeing this, Elysia pulled Luo Lin to move to another location. Just a dozen seconds later, the place where they had stood before collapsed and fell, disappearing with the glow of the code.
Senti crawled out of the platform, looked up at the masked man floating in the sky with her back to her, and smiled.
—A very healthy smile.
"I didn't come to the wrong place after all. My old-fashioned comrade-in-arms is much more interesting than her..."
Senti muttered, clenching her fist, making a cracking sound.
"Very good, very good!! This kind of spirit is what I want!!"
Kalpas turned his head, and even larger and fiercer flames burned, even burning through the sky of this data space, causing the data to fall like rain on his mask, reflecting a strange light.
Just as the two were sharpening their knives and preparing to continue their fight, an unexpected figure appeared.
"Klein?"
"The patches I just repaired, the data I just organized... sob, sob, sob!!"
The green-haired ELF looked at this "earth-shattering" scene dumbfoundedly, whimpering.
This was the result of her days of sleepless work since she came from the abnormal data to Elysian Realm. She had established a relatively safe cache zone in the depths of Elysian Realm, but unexpectedly, two uninvited guests broke in and destroyed all her hard work...
The pitiful appearance of the ELF made Elysia feel embarrassed, scratching her nose.
"Um, could you two, for the sake of Klein and me, please stop..."
Kalpas and Senti were completely focused on each other, creating a brilliant spark in the air, and completely ignored Elysia's shout.
"It seems they didn't hear."
Elysia frowned and patted Luo Lin's shoulder.
"Then let's go together and reason with them—you find the Herrscher, I'll deal with Kalpas, knock them out, and then we'll talk."
Luo Lin couldn't help but look at Elysia carefully.
Is this how you usually reason things out?
