You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

The Hyperion, deck.

Eden stood on the empty deck, staring blankly at the silent night sky.

Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to hum a lullaby.

Just as he was about to hum the song, Eden seemed to hesitate, pursed his lips, and ultimately did not hum.

Then, as if she had discovered something, she suddenly turned around and looked behind her.

"Qiu Bi, you've arrived."

"Hmm, why are you here alone? If I hadn't asked Wuse Huihuo to help check the surveillance footage, I wouldn't have been able to find you."

Eden smiled gently, then looked up at the dazzling night sky.

Qiu Bi casually conjured a fabric sofa, pulled Eden to sit on it, and looked up at the night sky.

"Qiu Bi, has the Fifth Herrscher found a solution?"

"If Iserline can't persuade Nina to surrender, then we'll have to send Sirin or Angelin to deal with Nina."

At this point, Qiu Bi hesitated for a few seconds, then tentatively called out, "Xilin, are you there?"

"Yes, Dad! What do you need from Celine?"

Perhaps considering that Eden was right next to Qiu Bi, Sirin lowered her voice and whispered, "Sirin is currently 'wooing' Alicia's mother!"

"Something has happened outside; the Fifth Herrscher has arrived today."

Qiu Bi told Xilin what had happened that day.

Upon hearing that Agatha and Galina had nearly died, Sirin's attitude immediately became very serious.

"Dad, wait a moment, let me and my sister Angelin discuss this first."

Qiu Bi could vaguely hear Sirin and Angelin talking, probably discussing how to deal with the "Fifth Herrscher".

Angeline's idea was to kill the Fifth Herrscher directly, while Sirin planned to suppress the Fifth Herrscher first, then ask her if she would like to become her mother or sister; if not...

Then use the power of the "precepts" and the knowledge of the law to forcibly "fall into evil".

Chapter 271 Angeline's Arrival

After discussing it for a while, Celine and Angelin decided to choose a compromise.

Angeline was tasked with suppressing Nina, and finally Sirin was tasked with controlling Nina.

Ever since she "corrupted" Wendy, Sirin seems to have flipped a strange switch, becoming obsessed with things like "corruption."

If Qiu Bi hadn't warned Sirin beforehand, letting her know that Alicia was a Herrscher and that the "Commandments" originated from Aponia, one of the heroes of the previous civilization, Sirin might have already taken action against the heroes of the Paradise of the Past.

Then, a purple void quietly opened up, and Angeline slowly walked up to Qiu Bi and Eden.

Seeing that Angeline's expression remained unchanged, Eden hesitated for a moment before finally voicing his inner doubts.

"Qiu Bi, the Herrscher of Metal is only the Fifth Herrscher. Isn't it a bit of a waste to directly send out the Herrscher of the End?"

"The main problem is that Celine is unwilling to take action; otherwise, Angeline wouldn't have needed to."

As he spoke, Qiu Bi waved to Angeline, signaling her to sit on his other side.

Angeline nodded slightly, then sat down beside Qiu Bi. Although her expression was calm, her behavior was very intimate, and she rested her head on Qiu Bi's shoulder.

"Dad, when are we going to deal with the Herrscher of Metal?"

"We'll see how things go tomorrow. Maybe Iselin can persuade Nina to side with the humans."

"it is good."

Angeline didn't ask any further questions, showing no concern whatsoever about whether Iserline would succeed.

If Iselin succeeds, then she won't have to intervene; but if Iselin fails...

That's okay.

For Angeline, dealing with a Herrscher of Metal is not a difficult task.

Eden's beautiful eyes were slightly unfocused as she gazed up at the dazzling night sky.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly asked, "Qiu Bi, I remember Delta once said that the most popular 'idol' in the current civilization is called 'Shigure Kira'?"

"Yes, would you like to get to know Qiluo?"

"Before that, I'd like to hear some of Shigure Kira's songs."

"no problem."

Qiu Bi took out his phone and played Shi Yu Qi Luo's album for Eden.

Among Shigure Kira's many songs, his favorite is "After Rain", followed by "The Diva of the Collapsed World".

However, Eden prefers classical music and doesn't particularly like this type of music.

Fortunately, Shigure Kira has sung a lot of classical music, so Eden and Shigure Kira won't have nothing in common.

"After the Fifth Honkai War ends, I will introduce you to Shigure Kira."

"sorry to bother you."

Eden smiled gently, then said nothing more and listened silently to Shigure Kira's song.

……

USS Hyperion, bridge.

Maria and Colorless Blaze watched Nina's every move through the Hyperion's external camera, observing her tirelessly killing one Honkai Beast and Death Soldier after another.

Perhaps not understanding Nina's behavior, Maria frowned.

"Maria, do you think Dr. Iserlyn can succeed?"

Wu Se Hui Huo has always held these scientific research talents in high esteem.

Maria was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head.

"To be honest, I don't have a high opinion of Iselin—after all, she is the Fifth Herrscher, and judging from her previous behavior, it is unlikely that Iselin can persuade her to surrender."

“I think so too.” Colorless Flame took a bite of her dessert, then continued, “If Dr. Iserlyn fails, what are your plans?”

"I can only forcefully kill the Herrscher of Metal, but I need to contact Cecilia. With my strength, I am not capable of dealing with the Herrscher of Metal."

sound off.

Maria immediately called Cecilia.

Although she said she was asking Cecilia, she actually wanted to tell Cecilia about Qiu Bi and Eden.

After a few seconds of waiting, Cecilia answered Maria's communication request.

Judging from Cecilia's appearance at this moment, she had clearly just finished taking a bath.

"Maria, why are you suddenly calling me?"

Cecilia placed the communication device on the shelf, then gently and patiently dried Kiana's wet hair.

Maria pursed her lips and then began to recount the events of the day.

Cecilia's expression remained unchanged when she heard that the Fifth Herrscher had arrived today.

Upon hearing from Maria that Qiu Bi had left the Land of the Dead with a woman of languid elegance, her expression immediately changed.

"I knew nothing about this, and the woman had a languid and elegant demeanor..."

Cecilia probably knows why Qiu Bi left Paradise.

If nothing unexpected happens, this must be the work of Sirin.

With that in mind, Cecilia stopped paying attention to the matter and instead inquired about the Fifth Herrscher.

"Maria, have you fought against the Fifth Herrscher?"

"Yes, the Fifth Herrscher is the Herrscher of Metal, and she can control all metals."

"Even the Divine Key wasn't spared?"

"That's right. If it weren't for the World Serpent's raven providing remote support using the Third Divine Key, 'Seven Thunders of Purification,' I might not have made it back."

“I see…” Cecilia said thoughtfully. “Since Qiu Bi is with you, the Fifth Herrscher shouldn’t be a problem. After all, Sirin and Angelin can handle it.”

At this point, Cecilia seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Kiana, do you want to go find your father?"

"Huh? Won't we bother Dad?"

"We're only going to help Maria deal with the Fifth Herrscher; seeing Qiu Bi is the next step."

"Then... Mom, I miss Dad!"

Kiana's radiant smile seemed to infect Cecilia, causing her to smile involuntarily as well.

Kiana and Bianca are quite powerful now, and Cecilia has begun to consider letting the two girls get involved in the Honkai War. If necessary, she might even consider having the two girls try to deal with the Herrscher.

With Sirin and Angelin protecting them, Kiana and Bianca are unlikely to get into trouble.

"Sister Cecilia, you're bringing Kiana and Bianca with you? This is far too dangerous..."

"Maria, Qiu Bi should have said that he would send Sirin and Angelin to deal with the Herrscher of Metal, right?"

"Yes, I did say that, but..."

"Then there's no need to worry. Sirin and Angelin can easily handle the Fifth Herrscher. I'll have Sylpharia send me, Kiana, and Bianca to the Hyperion later."

"Well... okay then."

Maria didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only reluctantly agree to Cecilia's bold decision.

At that moment, she suddenly regretted telling Cecilia about it.

If anything were to happen to Kiana and Bianca, she would surely feel deeply guilty.

Chapter 272 Li Sushang

Before long, a purple void opened up beside Maria, and then Lady Sylpharia, Cecilia, Kiana, and Bianca emerged from it.

"Aunt Maria, it's been a long time!"
