Kiana reached out and grasped the Xuanyuan Sword, whereupon a black mist attempted to invade her body.
But it was quickly dissolved by the scorching Divine Breath.
Subsequently, Ji Lin's consciousness emerged, and with Danzhu and Cangxuan's persuasion, Kiana naturally signed her.
Ji Lin's situation was rather unique; like Ling, she became a Spirit Weapon-type Heroic Spirit, with her true form being a weapon.
In her Valhalla, the strength of such Heroic Spirits depends on the person wielding them.
After signing the three, Kiana, under their astonished gazes, shrunk Chiyou's continent-sized body to the size of a palm.
After casually tossing the now alligator-turtle-sized Chiyou into Cangxuan's arms, she directly took them to the Imaginary Space.
"This is the Second Herrscher's clearance domain, isn't it?"
The knowledgeable Cangxuan recognized the place at a glance, then her eyes flickered, and she said thoughtfully.
As sisters who had served as assistants under Doctor Mobius in the Previous Era, they naturally knew the power of the Second Divine Key.
They had also come into contact with knowledge related to Imaginary Space, but being in biology, they didn't delve deeply into it.
"Sister, is our superior finally going to make a move on her adorable subordinate...?"
Danzhu's eyes flickered as she covered her cherry lips, looking at Kiana with a coy, 'both wanting and refusing' expression.
Then... thwack—
Kiana lightly tapped her on the forehead.
Hearing the crisp sound, Kiana nodded slightly in satisfaction. Good sound, good head.
"Ouch, what was that for?"
Danzhu raised her two wide sleeves to cover her forehead, then pouted, complaining mournfully.
Pfft...!
Kiana found Danzhu adorable.
This... Senior Danzhu must have grown up eating cuteness!
No, I reflect on Mei three times a day; other beauties shall not approach me!
Thinking of Mei coming to her house every morning to cook for her, wearing an apron in the gentle demeanor of a good wife and loving mother, Kiana instantly steadied her mind.
Mere snake spirit, how dare you tempt me!
Do you really think This Young Miss is Xu Xian!
But... "Wow~ Senior Danzhu is so cute~"
Kiana couldn't help but hug Danzhu, rubbing her head with squinted eyes, her mouth agape in an expression of pure enjoyment.
Even her Adam's apple turned into a heart shape (fog).
"It's really interesting when those two get together."
Ji Lin stood beside Cangxuan, covering her mouth and laughing, her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowing into a graceful arc.
"Mm..."
Cangxuan's lips also curved slightly.
After cuddling with Danzhu, Kiana felt their relationship had become much closer.
She took the other's soft, boneless slender hand and looked at Cangxuan.
"Senior Cangxuan, we..."
"I agree."
Cangxuan looked at Kiana holding Danzhu's hand, her eyes full of approval, as if she was looking at her excellent brother-in-law.
"Then we..."
"No need to say more, no day is better than today, let's get married right away!"
Cangxuan waved her small hand, then pulled out a scroll from who knows where, and looked at Kiana with sparkling eyes.
"Danzhu isn't young anymore, so I'll collect a little less in bride price. Oh, by the way, what's your currency? Pay her age multiplied by 10, no, 100 times!"
"Here we go again..."
Ji Lin lightly stroked her forehead, looking exasperated.
This little ancestor's money-grubbing nature had flared up again... Kiana was also frozen in place.
Wasn't she supposed to help them awaken as Herrschers?
How did it suddenly turn into a wedding ceremony!
Although Danzhu was delicate, soft, and easy, ahem, also 'water' spiritual.
But she couldn't betray Mei right now!
Suddenly, Mei's gentle face appeared in Kiana's mind.
"Mei is so gentle... she shouldn't mind... right?"
Murmuring, the scene in Kiana's mind changed.
On the rooftop, the sky was overcast, thunder and lightning flashed, and Mei, with icy eyes, choked her neck, then cut off her head with a knife.
Afterward, Mei sat on Beibei Long's back, gently stroking her head, flying into the cosmos.
"Eek...!"
Kiana instantly sobered up, sweat beading on her forehead, and even the shy, cute loli beside her no longer seemed appealing.
Kiana quickly put away her extraneous thoughts, cleared her throat to regain her composure, then put on a serious expression.
"Senior Cangxuan, Senior Danzhu, become Herrschers, and fight for a beautiful future."
"???" x2
The two simultaneously tilted their heads, looking at Kiana with expressions like she was an idiot.
Herrschers? Fighting for a beautiful future?
How are these two related!
But their doubts were quickly dispelled.
Kiana's power condensed within their bodies, ultimately forming two cores infused with the Breath of God.
Wrapped in powerful Imaginary internal energy, faint glows emanated from their bodies.
Within the glow, the garments they wore also underwent some changes.
Twin Herrschers — Herrschers of Harmony, Cangxuan & Danzhu
(Mashiro-kun's brain cells are being squeezed dry)
Danzhu's long brown hair with vermilion highlights was coiled at the back of her head with a flame-shaped hairpin, her eyes burned with crimson-gold light, her robes were primarily crimson and bright yellow, embroidered with patterns of blazing fire, and her skirt was adorned with orange-red jade pendants that made crisp sounds. She held a short dagger carved with flame patterns, named Fenzhang, and her body was wreathed in leaping, materialized Honkai Energy flames.
Meanwhile, Cangxuan's brown hair with blue highlights was braided into a star-ring braid, her eyes were a deep, serene blue like a fathomless pool, and her attire was based on moon-white and cyan-gray, decorated with hidden patterns of the Kan Water trigram. The back was an open, hollow design adorned with translucent gauze, and she held a long spear in cyan-gray and ice-blue tones, named Shujian. Her body was surrounded by ethereal, light-blue Honkai Energy water patterns that could penetrate objects without dissipating.
The respective clearances of the Twin Herrschers are:
Aspect of Reality (Reality Manipulation) · Danzhu.
She converts Honkai Energy into the power of reality, solidifying Imaginary Space energy and fragments into physical entities for combat. She can also materialize and mark hidden enemies, making them unable to hide, and the DMG they take from Danzhu's attacks is multiplied.
Aspect of Illusion (Illusion Manipulation) · Cangxuan.
Cangxuan can transform herself or enemies into illusory forms, making them immune to physical attacks and mental control. She can also penetrate all things, marking enemies after penetration, dealing several times DMG to them. Simultaneously, marked enemies' speed will be greatly reduced, and their future actions will be read.
Their clearances, when combined, can achieve the effect of virtual-real harmony.
The two can jointly create a vortex of Qiankun where reality and illusion merge, drawing enemies into it to endure countless virtual and real attacks.
The final blow combines the powers of illusion and reality, unleashing an explosive force comparable to a Finality strike.
Of course, this is provided that their energy upper limit (upper limit) reaches that level.
Besides the above points, as long as one of them is alive, even if the other has died, they can be revived on the other side.
Moreover, their clearance can only exert 100% of its power when they are together; if they exceed a certain distance, their clearance will be greatly weakened.
"Cang Xiaoxuan, I think I can punch Red Kite's chest in!"
Danzhu, whose strength (in the past) even rivaled Fu Hua's, clenched her small fists and boasted airily.
The aura of a Nine Heavens Goddess, after her Herrscher transformation, instantly broke, making Kiana sweat. This still couldn't hide her otaku nature.
Cangxuan, on the other hand, smiled, then glanced at Kiana, and then meaningfully at Danzhu.
"When you meet her, I hope you can still say that."
Cangxuan believed that her Red Kite might be ridiculously strong now.
Subsequently, the group returned to the Wangshu Astral Express under Kiana's lead and arrived at the Department of Geomancy, where Fu Hua was located.
Fu Hua, who was negotiating with company representatives, suddenly sensed something and looked up.
"Danzhu... Cangxuan... Ji Lin..."
"Blockhead, what's... wrong...?"
The Book of Fuxi, floating beside Fu Hua, followed her gaze, then gaped, unable to utter a word for a long time.
