Anger?
Humiliation?
Unknown emotions, like a tide, were absorbed and amplified by the Honkai energy within her body, and finally all surged into Senti's mind. The peacefulness belonging to Fu Hua on her body gradually faded, and the dark aura from the Herrscher gradually enveloped her.
"How could I, lose to a guy like you!" Accompanied by a rending roar, the authority from the Eighth Herrscher was completely unleashed, and invisible energy spread mightily towards the entire city.
Senti was the Herrscher of Sentience. She couldn't modify physical matter, but she could directly invade people's minds and modify their perceptions.
This was an extremely terrifying ability. Just by issuing a suggestion, tens of millions of people would, because of this invisible suggestion, actively choose to end their own lives.
For human civilization, this was extremely fatal, especially now that Honkai was rampant and most humans lived in urban clusters. This also meant that Senti was fully capable of mass city-wide slaughter, and might even go undetected for a long time.
Fu Hua's memories were the shackles that restricted Senti. Once she was completely liberated, it would definitely be an unspeakable disaster.
Although Senti had not completely lost her sanity at this moment, the completely released authority meant that she no longer cared about the lives and deaths of ordinary people.
"I will not lose!"
Looking at the enraged Senti, who had completely lost control, he frowned slightly.
The opponent's transformation was not beyond his expectations—he had even deliberately guided it. The power of consciousness authority was indeed formidable, but Ren had long been prepared. He had studied the art of the Taixu Sword God from Li Sushang precisely for this day.
Even if Senti fully erupted, it would not pose too serious a threat to him, who was empowered by all the puppets. However, the ARC City behind him could not endure such a crisis.
Even if Senti's target was solely him, the spilled consciousness authority was enough to infiltrate and corrupt the minds of millions within the city.
Ordinary people's bodies were too fragile. Even a negligible influence could very likely cause countless people to fall into a deep sleep, forever trapped in tonight's dream.
The only way was to completely isolate this consciousness erosion outside the city.
"Consciousness? Even the Honkai Will could not escape the weaving of the web, how could I let you attack the humans I protect." Muttering softly, bright golden eyes emitted a sublime glow in the darkness.
He twitched his fingers, and dense, invisible threads spread out from his side. The other end of the threads was the domain constructed by the vast sword array in the city.
This sword array had once sealed the time of Berlin into a grain of sand, and had also turned Li Sushang's complete Tai Xu Sword God into easily mastered power. And now, Ren used himself as the core, supplying the energy of an entire city.
Vast consciousness authority washed over the city, but was completely captured by the sword array. These impacts were interwoven with Senti's own will. Ren did not erase it, but used the power of the sword array to once again construct a vast illusion that enveloped hundreds of kilometers.
High-rise buildings with flashing neon lights, and endless streams of traffic with honking horns, a brand new city gradually emerged in this deserted suburb.
"This is?" Suddenly appearing in a strange city, Bronya's eyes were full of horror.
As the only audience at the scene, she was naturally also affected by Senti. She was pulled into the consciousness domain constructed by the other person almost without resistance.
However, thanks to the protection of the Herrscher of Reason's core and her own transformed will, she successfully resisted the consciousness erosion and successfully broke free from the influence of the consciousness domain.
However, what she didn't expect was that after escaping the consciousness domain, an even larger illusion emerged out of thin air. She raised her hand, which had just recovered a little strength, and touched the wall in the illusion. What was transmitted to her was an incredibly real touch.
"Virtual reality, building a city out of thin air, this is something that even Mr. Welt could never do."
She didn't even have time to think about who the 'Kiana' and 'Fu Hua' in the sky were, because she couldn't even be sure whether she was still in the consciousness domain.
The new city enveloped the three of them. The illusion constructed by Ren was not just an illusion, but a special space mixed between the Imaginary and Real domains. Any damage caused by battles here would not affect reality.
Only the three people who actually participated in it would feel the destruction caused by the collision of power.
"The past me has failed enough times, this time I must not lose!" In a desperate roar, the fiery Honkai energy transformed into crimson flames, and together with Senti, transformed into a retrograde meteor, attacking Ren.
Unfortunately, Ren's power was still something she couldn't shake. He stood in the sky, and with a light snap of his fingers, a piece of rock nearly a hundred meters in cubic volume emerged out of thin air, blocking her like an insurmountable barrier.
"Just with this…" Senti hadn't finished speaking when one, two, and then continuous pieces of rock, like mountains, slammed down on her.
Fu Hua's body was strong enough, but facing the squeezing of mountains, Senti was not so easy to break free. Two giant rocks wrapped her, and then collided with each other in a pincer attack.
Twisting, shearing, rotating like a millstone.
The sky fell into silence, and only the rumbling giant rocks made muffled sounds.
Crack.
A crack appeared on the rock, and then rapidly spread and extended. Ren tilted his head slightly, and a cold gleam suddenly shot out from the rock, instantly passing his ear, taking away a few strands of white hair.
The sharp spear failed to hit, and then flew back in an arc, pinned into the rock. And the giant rock, already covered with cracks, could no longer withstand it and burst into gravel all over the sky.
Amidst the splashing gravel, Senti's figure emerged, grabbing a spear.
"This kind of petty trick…"
"Did you forget that there are still many of these things?" Senti, who was just about to get angry, heard Ren's understated voice in her ear. She looked up, and the giant rocks she had just struggled to escape from slammed down on her again as if they were free.
Attacks of this level would naturally not kill Senti, and would not even cause much damage, but it was more than enough to trap her.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to trap the other person, Ren glanced at the ground and saw Bronya, who had just regained her mobility, riding a motorcycle and desperately fleeing towards the outskirts of the city.
"..."
Wait, where did your ferocity from just now go?
Very sorry, here is just illusion created by Ren and Senti, even Project Bunny's speed is faster than rocket, also is impossible to escape.
Of course, Bronya quickly discovered this. She wasn't really trying to escape, but was trying to measure the range covered by this illusion.
After two months of hard training in Anti-Entropy, she went out and just wanted to show her ambition, but was met with a head-on blow from Senti.
In desperation, she glimpsed the truth and successfully awakened the long-awaited Herrscher of Reason ability. As a result, she only shone for a few minutes before being defeated by Senti again.
She originally thought that the enemy was too powerful, but she didn't expect that such a powerful enemy would be unilaterally crushed by 'Kiana'. For Bronya, although it wouldn't make her discouraged, it was inevitable that she would feel somewhat frustrated.
Helplessly, she could only take advantage of the battle between the two and use her own way to find a way to break the illusion.
"Don't run, Bronya, you can't get out." Bronya, who was speeding wildly, froze, and looked up to find that a familiar figure was standing in front of her. She was shocked and quickly squeezed the handlebars to brake urgently.
However, there was no collision, and no inertia. What she thought was speeding was just standing still.
"Kiana? You…"
"Hmm? We haven't seen each other for only a few months, and you don't recognize me anymore?"
"After all, your changes are too great." Bronya was not Senti. Her observation skills were much sharper. The Kiana in front of her was very familiar, but the sense of separation she gave her was too great. She had doubts in her heart, but cleverly did not point them out.
"Don't worry, since I've saved you, I naturally won't hurt you. Let's get rid of the trouble later and then catch up properly." Ren wasn't stupid, and of course noticed Bronya's unnaturalness, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. "I'm here to borrow something from you."
"Something?"
"Yeah, the Herrscher of Reason's authority."
"!" As soon as these words came out, alarm bells rang in Bronya's heart, and she immediately became vigilant.
"What are you talking about? I…"
"Alright, I'm not going to snatch it from you. I'm very familiar with this thing." Ren beckoned, and the core in Bronya's body actually obediently emerged and then fell into his hand.
Bronya was still seriously injured. He did not take the core away, but used the Authority of Domination to take a little power.
"You have just mastered the power of Reason, and your use of authority is still very crude. I'll teach you to use its true power."
