Man is the original god, the lawer of reason

Queen Cocolia didn't understand what Chen Luo was talking about, she just published her new discoveries on her own.

"I just discovered one thing, Xiamin... I don't know where you found the substitute, but this woman, she..."

Queen Cocolia couldn't finish her sentence, because the battle on Hexier's side was over.

"It's time for execution."

Taking advantage of Delta's weak defense, Hei Xier shot two chain claws at Delta, and then, attracted by her strange power, attracted Delta and the chain claws to her side.

"—When Nightmare Breaks Out of the Cocoon."

After a burst of blood-red light, Delta's body fell down, and Hei Xier also removed the chain claws, and came to Chen Luo's side again holding the blood scythe.

"How is it, my lord, are you still satisfied with Xier's performance?"

Chapter 18 Empty Dream · Fantasy Sea · Storyteller

However, after defeating Delta, her body did not collapse on the ground, but turned into blue light particles, decomposed and disappeared.

...no, not just Delta.

Chen Luo got up and looked around, Queen Cocolia and Bai Xier had also disappeared, as for the seven little Bronyas, they had long since disappeared.

In this so-called wedding venue, only Chen Luo and Hei Xi'er were left.

"... Seele."

"What's the matter, brother?"

Thanks to the calm thinking ability retained when he held the power of the Herrscher of Reason before, Chen Luo's brain was activated, and combined with the current situation, he quickly figured out the problem.

Although I don't know the reason, it is obvious that the "characters" belonging to this story have disappeared abruptly.

Since the "character" belonging to this story no longer exists, the Hei Xier standing in front of Chen Luo is undoubtedly...

"The one who ate the poisonous apple that makes people fall asleep is not Princess Xier in the story, but you... the real Xier."

Hei Xier nodded with a smile.

"That's right, my brother is very smart."

This is just a very simple trick of changing the civet cat for the prince.

Hei Xier briefly explained the reason for the incident.

"After I came here, I met that Princess Xier, and seeing her pitiful, I promised to eat the poisoned apple for her—after all, even the Queen Cocolia in this story couldn't help it." Easily tell the difference between me and her."

"...Then, the power of the poisonous apple made you regain your memory and strength, and became what you are now."

"That's right, this is the complete Xier, the complete me."

Hei Xi'er smiled slyly, approached Chen Luo lightly, and stuck to his side.

"Then, which Xier do you like better, brother? The current Xier, or the previous Xier?"

... This is undoubtedly a proposition. Chen Luo feels that there are problems with any answer, and Hei Xier will easily refute it with rhetoric. Therefore, his answer to Hei Xier is——

"Children make choices."

"Huh? What?"

"I mean—I want it all."

Chen Luo replied solemnly.

For Hei Xier's arrogant personality, she had to catch her off guard with a straight serve.

Sure enough, Hei Xier didn't expect this answer for a moment, and a touch of panic and blush appeared on her face for a short while, but she quickly calmed down afterwards.

"Hmph, you can speak."

"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble. Anyway, I've confirmed that you are the Xi'er who was with me before. Then, shall we go to the world of the next story, or...?"

The elf of the forest once said that this journey is a journey of "recovering" herself for Xier.

At that time, Chen Luo didn't quite understand the meaning, but judging from the current situation, she had indeed recovered a lot of herself.

Strength, appearance, character...

"If my lord brother wants to, he and Xi'er can be immersed in this fantasy sea forever... Unfortunately, some people don't want us to continue."

Hei Xier gave a ghostly smile, she stretched out her hand, and the surrounding scene changed instantly, and the two of them went from the uninhabited forest stage to the queen's castle in an instant, and came to the queen's residence, in front of the magic mirror .

"Instead of letting me explain... why don't you ask the 'storyteller' who made us experience these three stories?"

As Hei Xier's voice fell, faint blue ripples appeared on the surface of the magic mirror, which was a power Chen Luo was very familiar with—the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

A portal was formed on the surface of the magic mirror, and Hei Xier pointed to the portal, signaling Chen Luo to go in.

"My lord, see you later~"

"...Okay, see you later."

After finishing speaking, Chen Luo walked into the portal in the magic mirror.

The world behind the portal has undergone earth-shaking changes. Here is an ocean, an ocean of illusion.

All kinds of strange things float in the sky, and various portals can be seen everywhere. Chen Luo even keenly discovered the world of Little Red Riding Hood and the world of the two elves that he had experienced before.

And before Chen Luo's eyes, a staircase leading to a high platform appeared.

Thus, Chen Luo followed the stairs all the way to the high platform, where there was nothing else but two empty chairs in the center.

Chen Luo came to the center, sat on one of the chairs casually, and then said to the empty chair opposite.

"...Come out, the guests are here, but the master hasn't shown up yet?"

"From my point of view, you are the host and I am the guest. For this place, we are both just guests."

The blue light belonging to the Herrscher of Reason condensed on the empty chair, forming a blue projection in the shape of a girl.

She also sat on the chair and looked at Chen Luo expressionlessly.

Her figure is very petite, and she has twin ponytails with spiral curls that are too visually appealing in Chen Luo's opinion.

...Well, after all, he had only seen seven identical hairstyles not long ago.

"The master of the fantasy sea brought you here."

"Well, since Xi'er has already found herself, I don't think there is any need to continue... After all, she is the master here."

This grotesque and illusory sea undoubtedly belonged to Xier's kingdom.

"Correction, at present, a more accurate description should be: the environment jointly created by the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Death."

The girl corrected the detailed mistakes in Chen Luo's words with a blank face.

"The Herrscher of Death... Sure enough, this Xi'er is..."

She nodded and raised her hand lightly, and Hei Xier's projection appeared beside the two of them.

"She is the Herrscher of Death."

"I'm not surprised by this conclusion. Rather, I guessed it a long time ago. I'm more interested in your...existence than Xier."

The girl in front of her undoubtedly controls the ability of the Herrscher of Reason, which originally belonged to Chen Luo, who is she?

Chen Luo had an answer in mind, but he wanted the other party's confirmation even more.

"Before you came here, you once fought hand-to-hand with Daozuma and Houkaiwill."

The girl said so.

"Yes."

"At that time, the Honkai Will tried to directly erase your consciousness to create a new Herrscher of Reason...Although the attempt to overwrite the consciousness failed, the act of creating a new consciousness has succeeded."

The girl's eyes stared at Chen Luo without any emotion.

"——I am the consciousness of the Herrscher of Reason that was born in your body due to the interference of Houkai's will."

Chapter 19 Its name is Prometheus

"Honkai Will failed to control you successfully."

The will of the girl in front of her, the Herrscher of Reason, was obviously not affected by him.

"Yes, I am a free body... It is not necessarily true to say that, my existence is bound to the core of the Herrscher of Reason, and it is closely related to you."

The girl raised her hand, and the core of the Herrscher of Reason appeared in her hand.

She waved her hand and returned the core to Chen Luo.

"During the time when the master of the Illusory Sea is asleep, in order to maintain its operation, the power of the Herrscher of Reason is necessary. Therefore, I temporarily stripped it from your body to reduce the load on your body."

The girl explained it like this.

"When did you wake up?"

Chen Luo was more concerned about this.

"I have awakened from the moment Leiden really launched the technique to expel the will of Houkai. From the moment you tear the space apart until now, I have been watching, watching all this, even after you are unconscious."

"...In that case, tell me, what happened after I left Tivat and came here?"

Since her sanity has been fortunate and has dominated the operation of this fantasy sea, then she should know everything that happened during this period.

"After you cast that teleportation spell, but you didn't have enough power left at that time, so that spell didn't teleport you to a location outside the world, you just got lost in the space turbulence outside the Tivat continent area."

...That's right, when Chen Luo performed the reverse calculation, it was already the stage when the ritual effect of the Shenying ceremony had almost faded away.

In other words, Chen Luo's current location is still within the world where Tivat Continent is.

"So, the area I'm in now is the abyss? Or the dark sea?"

Chen Luo didn't know much about these two areas. He only knew that the abyss was the place where the abyssal sect and monsters were active, and the dark sea was where the exiled demon gods gathered.

Either way, neither place is a good place.

Moreover, there is a very crucial question - why is Hei Xier here?

If this is still the world that Tivat Continent belongs to, then everything that Xier showed is too abnormal.

"I have no way of knowing the exact location, but during the time you were sleeping, I observed the space coordinates. At least this place is not very far away from the Tivat continent."

"Well, I roughly understand this point, so go ahead."

I'm afraid the girl in front of him can't give him the answer to Xi'er's question, so it's better to ask him in person later.

After all, the core of the Herrscher of Death exists in Xi'er. For Chen Luo, the movement of other cores other than the core of the Herrscher of Reason is something he is very concerned about now.

"...What happened next, from my point of view, is too incomprehensible a coincidence with zero probability. Your drifting in the turbulent flow of space finally brought you to this fantasy sea. It is too coincidental to meet When it comes to the Herrscher of Death, she is even willing to lend a helping hand to you."

Although the girl in front of him was hard to understand, Chen Luo understood that all of this might be inseparable from the guidance of that Istaru.

"...As expected, Xier saved me."

Only the creative power of the Herrscher of Death could pull Chen Luo back from the brink of death and give him life again.

...Moreover, to create Chen Luo's current human body, apart from the power of the Herrscher of Reason, only the Herrscher of Death can do it.

"It is not an easy task to heal the body and mind of a Herrscher, not to mention that you are not the only one who helped her. Therefore, she also expended a considerable amount of strength, causing her to fall into a short-term slumber."

The girl described everything that happened at that time with a blank face.

"Before that Herrscher of Death fell into a deep sleep, she noticed my existence—of course, perhaps earlier, when she started to rescue you, she had already discovered me.

"This fantasy sea is the domain she created, and she transferred part of its authority to me. According to her wish and your situation, I created a fantasy world suitable for you.

"This illusion can help her find herself, and it can also make you familiar with the power of the Herrscher of Thunder."

Chen Luo nodded.

"I probably already understood, so Lei Dian really got Xi'er's help."

"...Yes, but unlike your situation, your soul is complete, while the real soul of Leiden on your body is just a fragment, and after you are cured, her remaining power is not much. Therefore, we can barely maintain the existence of Thunder and Lightning so that she will not perish."

The girl pointed to Chen Luo's chest.

"She is sleeping peacefully in the core of the Herrscher of Thunder on your body at this moment. In the process of exercising the power of the Herrscher of Thunder in the illusion, you are also injecting new vitality into her in this core."

After a pause, the girl continued.

"However, judging from the current situation, this level of stimulation may not be able to revive her. To completely wake her up, some...bigger stimulation is needed."
