Chapter 627

Even in Shenzhou, there couldn't possibly be such a powerful foundation, could there?

Otherwise, if they could cultivate a few powerhouses like Himeko, why would they have spent so many years struggling against the Honkai!

"Are you not listening?"

Himeko narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Durandal.

"Within three seconds, put Kiana down and leave this place. I won't hold you accountable."

"Otherwise..."

Durandal tightened her grip on the Abyss Flower and steadied her mind.

Although she didn't know why Himeko was so strong, but...

Without Otto's order, she would not abandon her mission.

"Is that so?"

Himeko curled her lip and said with interest:

"That Divine Key is your reliance? Then what if... it breaks?"

Durandal's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously raised the Abyss Flower to block.

Himeko pressed her fingers down gently, and a massive flying sword formed of cloud energy descended from the sky.

As it pressed down on the Abyss Flower, Durandal's expression changed drastically. She mobilized all the strength in her body to resist, but even so, she was inevitably forced to one knee.

Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and Rita and Durandal's pupils shrank.

That invincible Abyss Flower, the legendary Divine Key, shattered inch by inch under the cloud-condensed flying sword, and finally...

Only the hilt remained.

And that cloud flying sword, its momentum undiminished, finally stopped at Durandal's neck.

But Durandal didn't care; she just stared blankly at the shattered Abyss Flower in her hand.

The fragments scattered on the ground and the completely torn-apart Herrscher core all told her one thing.

This spear...

Was completely finished.

A Divine Key, blasted apart in such a barbaric way—Durandal's worldview exploded.

"Last time, put Kiana down now!"

Himeko's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"I don't want to kill you, but that doesn't mean I won't. I'm not holding Schicksal accountable for what they did to me and Kiana right now, but that doesn't mean I won't later!"

The blade moved forward an inch, and a crack instantly appeared on Durandal's delicate neck.

"Wait! Please wait! Major Himeko! We'll release her!"

Rita hurriedly returned Kiana to Mei. Himeko snorted and waved her hand to disperse the flying sword.

Sensing a subtle feeling of surveillance, Himeko looked up at the sky with interest.

The next moment, Himeko pressed her palms together, and endless spiritual energy erupted from her body.

A massive phantom rose from the ground, and in an instant, it was already floating in the sea of stars.

Compared to that phantom, the Earth seemed particularly tiny.

Himeko sat cross-legged in the void, her consciousness linking to the idol manifested by her Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Art.

From any angle on the globe, one could clearly see the figure that was larger than the planet itself.

Kevin and Otto couldn't sit still either; they both appeared and stared nervously at the sky.

The power of that projection made Kevin think of the Herrscher of the End from back then.

After an unknown amount of time, the phantom slowly opened its eyes, and surging flames burned within its pupils.

It seemed to be peering down at the Earth, and after a long while, the phantom spoke slowly.

"Murata Himeko, disciple of the Dragon Head Peak of Shushan, hereby gives notice to all major forces in the world."

"Himeko?! Himeko! It's Himeko!"

As soon as the first sentence was spoken, Theresa jumped up in excitement.

"Theresa, calm down. We all know Himeko... even if she returned, how could she be this strong?"

Einstein gently pressed down on Theresa's shoulder to comfort her.

"No! It's definitely Himeko! I wouldn't mistake her voice!"

"It's definitely her! I'm going to find her!"

Theresa broke free from Einstein's hand and rushed headlong toward the Hyperion.

But Himeko's phantom continued to speak.

"By the order of the Sect Master, I have returned to the Honkai world today to select outstanding disciples for Shushan..."

"In the Honkai world, no conflicts are allowed for one year!"

"By the Sect Master's decree, no Herrschers or Honkai disasters are allowed to be born in the Honkai world for one year. If violated, the Shushan Heavenly Dao will erase the will of the Imaginary Tree."

"Otto Apocalypse, Bishop of Schicksal, Kevin Kaslana, Lord of World Serpent, and Welt Yang, Leader of Anti-Entropy."

"No more conflicts. Those who violate this order shall be executed!"

Hearing this, Otto curled his lip in disdain, and Kevin couldn't even be bothered to look.

In their eyes, Himeko had just returned from somewhere with some strange methods.

Not worth mentioning.

However, Otto was somewhat curious about how she had returned and how she had managed to stay alive.

He was just planning to have Durandal and the others find a way to bring Himeko back as well.

Suddenly, a large opening tore in the sky, and a tree that could not be described in words appeared in everyone's line of sight.

Even surging Imaginary energy began to pour into the Honkai world.

Otto widened his eyes in shock.

Now...

He realized that it seemed all of this was not fake.

Himeko's phantom looked at the Imaginary Tree, and the aura of the Shushan Heavenly Dao emerged from her disciple token.

The Imaginary Tree immediately and obediently withdrew its Imaginary energy and honestly left this place.

Along with it, many Honkai disasters that were brewing also disappeared without a trace.

Himeko snorted; although it was a bit of "borrowing the tiger's might," but...

It still felt great.

Slowly withdrawing her power, Himeko left one final sentence.

"The above is the official statement from Shushan."

"As for the following words, I hope certain Schicksal Bishops and World Serpent Lords will remember them well."

"Stay put and behave yourselves. Don't try to cause trouble for me, and stay away from my cute students."

"Otherwise..."

"I don't mind showing you what the methods of an immortal cultivator are."

"Believe me, I will extract your souls and burn them with soul fire for ten thousand years!"

Monstrous flames surrounded the entire Earth, presenting a scene of world destruction.

A moment later, all visions disappeared without a trace. Himeko's true body slowly opened her eyes and looked at Durandal and Rita, who were completely stunned in place.

She waved her hand with a lack of interest.

"You may go. Let's call today's events even."

Durandal pursed her lips and looked at Himeko, wanting to ask how she destroyed the Abyss Flower, and also wanting to ask how she had become so strong.

But...

Rita quietly pulled her back and spoke first:

"Major Himeko, we are very sorry for today's events. We will come to apologize in person another day."

Having said that, Rita hurriedly pulled Durandal away.

427. Mei, let's go cultivate immortality together!

Watching Durandal and Rita disappear, Himeko slowly landed and walked to Mei's side.

"Teacher Himeko..."

Mei looked at Himeko with teary eyes. She didn't care why Himeko had become so strong.
