Book 5: Chapter 21:2: Sirin Disappeared? Part 2
Chen Heng now knew the situation was grave. According to Customer Service, under normal circumstances, Sirin would return after one month in his world. However, when she returned, it would be the same time as when she left in her world because the system mainframe had negotiated with the world consciousness to temporarily pause that world’s time.
While reversing a world’s time would cause a huge impact, it was possible if they simply made the world’s time move extremely, extremely slowly, to the point where Sirin vanished, then returned one second later without anyone realizing it.
However, if someone from that world joined the Dimension Administrators Association, the situation would be different.
“Customer Service! Customer Service! Are you there? What’s going on? I’m getting the invitation letters the day after tomorrow. Why did something like this happen?”
Wait for a while. Let me check it out…. Alright, I know what happened now. You can’t blame me for this; I refuse to bear the blame. The Dimension Administrators Association recruits at random. You should know that besides using an invitation letter or getting a world consciousness’s recommendation, there is no other way in but this. I can only say Sirin was extremely unlucky.
“Then Sirin just vanished? Has some time passed in Sirin’s world?”
For you, Sirin has only just vanished. However, it has been more than just a while for Sirin in her world.
“Huh?”
Simply put, before Flat-Chested Chinese entered the association, the world consciousness summoned Sirin back and applied for Flat-Chested Chinese’s entry to be delayed for one second. Of course, that was one second relative to the association members. The association agreed, but this one second was three days in her world.
“Why did the world consciousness do that?”
Protecting the trajectory of the world is the world consciousness’s responsibility. That world consciousness probably wanted the 2nd Honkai eruption to happen, at least.
“So, you are telling me that Sirin is already the Herrscher of the Void?”
Actually, Sirin was already on the brink of becoming the Herrscher of the Void before coming to your world. System 10086’s absorption of her energy delayed that transformation. However, the world consciousness summoned her back, and some time passed. If you go to her world now, she should have already become the Herrscher of the Void.
“Alright, alright. That’s all, then.”
Now, Chen Heng felt very frustrated. He initially could have brought Sirin into the association, as he would get the association invitation letter soon. Now, this happened. He should have known nothing would go as planned.
He Who Knows Fate: @Flat-Chested Chinese, can I go to your world? I can help you deal with the Herrscher of the Void.
Right now, Chen Heng had three ways to go to Honkai Impact 3rd’s world: First, by official channels, using the Dimension Administrators Association as a platform and getting Flat-Chested Chinese’s agreement to let him travel to that world. Second, by luck, seeing if there were any related missions in the mission hall; however, he felt this method was unlikely. Third was the Re:Life Chat Group. Of course, he placed little hope on that, as he believed there would be restrictions. It was unlikely he could go to whichever world he wanted at will.
Flat-Chested Chinese: Sorry, no. I’m not familiar with you and cannot evaluate what you would do to the world. I can’t be certain if it would be a good thing or a bad thing.
Chen Heng knew it would not be easy to convince Flat-Chested Chinese. After all, he was a stranger to her.
He Who Knows Fate: Then has the Herrscher of the Void appeared in your world?
Flat-Chested Chinese: We just received the news. All the researchers in Babylon Labs died. That should be the sign of the Herrscher of the Void appearing, which that Umaru-chan mentioned. Otto has already sent his granddaughter to investigate.
Umaru-chan: What is the point of sending that shorty? You are talking about Valkyrie Judah, right?
Flat-Chested Chinese: Otto’s granddaughter is called Theresa Apocalypse, not Judah. Oath of Judah is the name of a Divine Key.
[TL Note: Theresa is the principal of the St. Freya Academy, an institute for Valkyrie training and a branch of Schicksal. She plays a guardian role to the main character of the game, Kiana. She wields the Oath of Judah, one of the Divine Keys created to kill Herrschers. Here is more information on her: /wiki/Theresa_Apocalypse.]
Umaru-chan: There’s no difference. Anyway, isn’t Theresa just a launcher for the Oath of Judah?
Efreet: Fu Hua, did you see the thing I mentioned earlier, the one related to the storyline?
Flat-Chested Chinese: Are you referring to Second Eruption? I’m reading it now and am a third through. This Herrscher of the Void is very dangerous.
Efreet: That fast? Let me tell you this, the He Who Knows Fate who just spoke is very powerful. He can kill two Herrschers with just one slap. If you let him into your world, he will definitely deal with the Herrscher of the Void for you.
Flat-Chested Chinese: I still say the same thing: what is his purpose here?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: The Herrscher of the Void you are talking about is actually his younger sister. Due to special circumstances, your Herrscher of the Void transmigrated to another world. The person who just spoke is the guardian who took care of her for a long time.
Flat-Chested Chinese: All the more I cannot agree. What if he helps her cause trouble instead?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: You…
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, alright. Everyone, calm down. Immortal Phoenix, right? Let me make this clear. I indeed fostered this Herrscher of the Void for some time, but I absolutely would not aid her in causing trouble. Due to certain reasons, I will receive a few association invitation letters in another two days. When that happens, I can invite the Herrscher of the Void into the association, and she will no longer appear in your world. I will bring her to my world and raise her here.
Flat-Chested Chinese: I have a question. Can you defeat her? She is a Herrscher, a harbinger of Honkai, a destroyer of civilization.
He Who Knows Fate: Before the Herrscher of the Void became a Herrscher, she was just an ordinary little girl. No, a little girl who suffered human experimentation. I don’t know how strong she will be after becoming the Herrscher of the Void, but as long as she has not gained the strength to destroy the planet, I’m confident of handling her.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: You are being too humble.
Kal’tsit: Chen Heng, can’t you ask your ancestor for help?
He Who Knows Fate: My ancestor, he…it is better not to trouble my ancestor with such minor matters.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Immortal Phoenix and Chen Heng, you can purchase a contract in the association’s store and agree on what Chen Heng can or cannot do. For example, Immortal Phoenix can ask Chen Heng to come to her world to help subdue the Herrscher of the Void but restrict him from causing too much damage to the planet.
He Who Knows Fate: That works. I can fork the money for the contract. On top of that, I can pay you an additional 2,000 points.
Flat-Chested Chinese: Let me think about it. Wait for me to finish reading the Second Eruption comics first to reply, alright? In any case, your younger sister has already become the Herrscher of the Void, so there’s no rush, right?
He Who Knows Fate: Sure, but please hurry.
Flat-Chested Chinese: Don’t worry. I finished reading another segment during this time. There’s just about half left.
-----
Flat-Chested Chinese: Alright, I’m done reading. The format of a comic is easy to understand. You will have to sign a contract as the condition, but there’s no need for additional points.
He Who Knows Fate: You agree?
