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

Mebius did not experience the feeling that Kiana, Aurora, Agatha, and Anne had described, and even the external environment did not change.

"Hehe...it seems the 'little mouse' has already escaped."

Mebius chuckled and whispered.

Rather than saying they "escaped," it would be more accurate to say that the dolls have achieved their goal and severed ties with the real world.

"Mebius, what are your plans now?"

“Aponia, you seem to overestimate me. I don’t have the ability to forcibly enter the so-called ‘Theater of Domination’—perhaps the Herrscher of the Void’s powers could forcibly tear through space to enter the so-called ‘Theater of Domination’.”

Chapter 356 Walter's Attack

Mebius turned to look at Aponia, his sinister smile unchanged.

Aponia sighed softly, abandoning the idea of ​​continuing to speak.

"Should I contact Celine?"

"Then I'll leave it to you. With the Herrscher powers of the Herrscher of the Void, you can definitely force your way into the Theater of Domination, but Sirin cannot serve as the main fighting force."

The "Herrscher of Domination" exerts an overwhelming pressure on Herrschers, almost comparable to the yet-to-arrive "Herrscher of Binding".

The latter nullifies all Honkai energy and weakens other forms of energy, while the former brutally dominates the Herrscher powers of other Herrschers, causing the corresponding Herrschers to lose their Herrscher powers.

In short, the Honkai War against the "Herrscher of Domination" is destined to be a battle for "humanity," and ordinary Herrschers cannot intervene in it.

"According to Aurora and Agatha, after a Herrscher's power is controlled, the Herrscher will be imprisoned in a 'birdcage' that appears out of thin air."

"The birdcage is extremely sturdy, difficult to destroy with Anzu's power, and even the 'Saintess Power,' which can suppress Honkai energy, cannot destroy it quickly, yet Maria can destroy it easily..."

"Hehehe... I'm actually quite interested in Maria."

Mebius analyzed the current situation methodically.

With Maria's strength, she won't die in a short time, and even if she can't win, she should be able to escape unscathed.

Moreover, even if the "Herrscher of Domination" uses the Herrscher powers of the "Herrscher of Knowledge," it is merely to control Maria, turning her into his "weapon," and thus facilitating the manipulation of other Herrscher powers.

“Mebius, you might be mistaken about something—Sirin shouldn't be affected by the Herrscher of Dominion.”

Cecilia suddenly spoke up, correcting the oversight in Möbius's words.

Upon hearing this, Mebius frowned and asked in confusion, "Isn't Sirin a Herrscher?"

“That’s right, but Celine is a special case.”

Sirin appears to be a multi-core Herrscher, but in reality, she is a "god" among magical girls.

By using the "Principle of Circles" to connect the existing Herrscher cores and make them a whole, and at the same time using the "Bow of Light" as a carrier, the power of the Herrscher authority is released.

In layman's terms, Sirin's attacks are no longer considered Herrscher powers, but rather magical girl powers.

If a "ruler of domination" wishes to control the power of other rulers, they must guide those other rulers to use their power to attack themselves or their creations.

When the power that attacks oneself is not a Herrscher's power, no matter how much the "Herrscher of Domination" restrains the Herrscher, it cannot forcibly dominate the Herrscher's power of other Herrschers.

"Magical girl..."

Mebius squinted, seemingly lost in thought.

The "Valkyrie" power system was still within her comprehension, but the "magical girl" power was somewhat beyond her understanding.

Possessing immense power solely through a contract...

This kind of thing is absurd even in a dream, but reality is just that absurd.

After dealing with the "Herrscher of Domination" who has descended this time, Mebius must thoroughly study the "magical girl" power system.

Has Qiu Bi made any decisions?

"I haven't told Qiu Bi about what's going on here yet."

Cecilia scrolled through her contacts, intending to contact Sirin first, and then tell Qiu Bi about what had happened.

Mebius said no more, wandered around the baby store, and finally stopped in a corner.

—A broken doll sits in the corner.

During this time, with Anne's help, Aurora and Agatha arranged for the magical girls to isolate the street where the baby supply store was located and put Academy City on a state of war preparedness.

……

After the golden light tore through the dark night sky, Qiu Bi, Walter, Otto, and Kevin tacitly ended their casual conversation.

Qiu Bi and Kevin rushed back to the apartment building, while Walter and Otto returned to their respective hotels.

Although a future development plan has been tentatively determined, there are considerable obstacles to its implementation.

At the very least, it is difficult for governments in various countries to completely trust the joint governance of people, and power struggles may even occur.

Ahead lies a formidable enemy on the brink of collapse, behind lies political turmoil...

Walter seemed to foresee the trouble that was about to happen, and couldn't help but sigh.

Just as he was about to take out his hotel room key, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

This hotel is so quiet...

Even though the golden light that tore through the night sky attracted many eyes, the hotel interior was not so quiet.

The atmosphere could even be described as "dead still".

Walter adjusted his glasses and discreetly observed his surroundings.

After searching around without success, he temporarily suppressed his unease and calmly opened the door to his hotel room.

Crunch!

A slight creaking sound suddenly rang out, mixed with the sound of the door closing, making it difficult to detect.

Walter frowned slightly and carefully examined the interior of the hotel room, but found nothing.

"Is it my imagination?"

Walter muttered to himself in confusion.

The next second, a terrifying burst of Honkai energy suddenly erupted in the distance, instantly attracting Welt's attention.

Before Walter could even reach the window to check the situation, a violent sonic boom rang out, followed by the explosion of the hotel room walls. A terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, causing the entire hotel to tremble precariously.

Walter cautiously took a few steps back and erected a barrier around himself to defend against any subsequent attacks.

"Found you, Herrscher of Reason!"

A voice, seemingly a mixture of many voices, suddenly rang out, as if containing a strange power, causing Walter's thoughts to come to a standstill.

The puppets used language as a medium to temporarily influence Walter's thoughts.

As a Herrscher, Welt possesses a certain degree of resistance to the Herrscher powers of the "Herrscher of Knowledge".

Although he cannot ignore the power of the "Rule of Knowledge," it is enough for him to quickly get rid of the influence of the "Rule of Knowledge."

Unfortunately, the dolls didn't give Walter time to escape their influence.

Amidst the murky dust and smoke, a beautiful figure suddenly emerged.

Before the fist of this beautiful figure, Walter's barrier of position was as fragile as tofu, and was easily pierced through.

Perhaps sensing a terrifying threat, or perhaps having just escaped the influence of the "Herrscher of Knowledge," Welt leaned back at the last second, barely dodging the terrifying punch.

The force of the punch was so strong it felt almost tangible, cutting several tiny wounds on Walter's forehead.

At the same time, Walter saw the true face of the person who attacked him.

—Maria Shaniat.

Without bothering to ponder the reason for Maria's attack, Walter suddenly constructed a counterfeit of the "Ninth Divine Key - Star of Eden" with his right hand, and in the next instant released a dark red torrent that surged around him, attempting to force Maria back.

However, what happened next left Walter staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

Chapter 357 Xilin: This is a sign that my daughter loves her father

The dark red torrent, though intangible, seemed to materialize before Maria, not only being held down by her hands but also beginning to disintegrate as she exerted her strength.

"laugh……"

Maria uttered a low, strange syllable, and the next second she forcefully tore open the dark red torrent.

Walter gritted his teeth and increased the output power of the simulated Eden Star, causing the dark red torrent to erupt again, barely forcing Maria back a few steps.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Walter quickly retreated, creating enough distance to unleash his attack.

Simulated Eden Star - First Rated Power - Maximum Output Unleashed!

The gravitational wave, directed at a single individual, suddenly struck Maria, causing her to abruptly kneel on one knee and nearly collapse to the ground.

After a few seconds of brief adjustment, Maria struggled to stand up straight.

Just as Walter was about to launch a further suppression, the simulated Star of Eden in his hand suddenly shattered, along with the gravitational wave he had applied to Maria.

"How can it be?!"

Welt was not horrified by the sudden shattering of the Pseudo-Eden Star, but by the sudden disappearance of his Herrscher powers, as if he had never possessed them at all.

Before Walter could even think, Maria, freed from the gravitational wave's restraints, rushed in front of him, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up.

Walter grabbed Maria's arm tightly, trying to pry her hands off.

However, Maria's hands were like iron clamps, firmly gripping Walter's neck.

Just as he was about to suffocate and lose consciousness, Walter saw Maria's lifeless eyes, and the doubts in his heart were finally answered.

Maria did not attack him intentionally, but rather fell under the control of some being.

After Walter fell into a coma, an exquisite birdcage slowly emerged, enveloping the unconscious Walter.

"In this way, the indispensable power of the 'Rule of Reason' has been obtained."

"Among the remaining Herrschers, except for the 'Herrscher of the Void,' none of the others can escape our control!"

The dolls quietly appeared beside Maria and slowly pushed the birdcage away.

Maria maintained that peculiar posture throughout, seemingly unconcerned about the increasing degree of Honkai energy erosion.
