Thanks for the invitation! I am in Honkai, still connected

This girl was so puffed up.

The young man, who had just been demanded to become her servant, couldn't help but think this as he looked at the girl whose eyes now shimmered with a divine golden light.

Although he had long heard of Sirin, the Pufferfish Herrscher's great name, he had never seen her in person. Looking at Honkai Impact merchandise and the like only offered a glimpse of one or two facets of her.

He hadn't expected this girl to be even more inflated than she was portrayed in the manga.

Why would this girl think that he had to physically take out the Oath of Judah to use its power?

Li Zihan's expression was a little dazed.

If he wanted to, he could use Judah's Zeroth Power right now and show this Pufferfish what it truly meant to "cry to Heaven and Earth to no avail."

After an experiment that had nearly sent him иннова苏croaking, Li Zihan had confirmed one thing.

The Eleventh Herrscher was indeed "Judah." Her abilities were as broken as Higokumaru's. Her defeat at the hands of Kevin 'Aotian' was most likely because she had held back an entire Pacific Ocean's worth of power.

The Herrscher of Binding was created to counter MANTIS and Divine Keys.

Within the barrier she created, all Honkai energy would be nullified; only the Herrscher herself could move freely.

MANTIS warriors wouldn't last a minute in that thing, and Divine Keys would become as useless as fire pokers.

Even other forms of energy would be weakened to varying degrees.

Within the fully deployed Divine Grace Field, the activity of mana was only half of what it was in the outside world. Small magecraft spells were manageable, but large-scale magecraft would require material assistance, or it would collapse on the spot.

Furthermore, the complete Divine Grace Field would weaken electrical currents, and weaken them severely.

Forbidden from using electrical energy and Honkai energy, the only means of transportation left would be their own two feet (the 'Route 11 bus') and bicycles.

And the Zeroth Power of the Oath of Judah, the Divine Grace Field, had a radius of 100 kilometers.

The MANTIS warriors, who could effortlessly demolish other Herrschers, would probably kick the bucket before they even got close to her.

How to control the range of this thing?

Li Zihan, who barely knew how to use Divine Keys and simply issued instructions for them to operate on their own, felt a slight headache coming on.

Anything that ran on electricity could forget about functioning normally within Judah's Zeroth Power.

Honestly, someone with a weaker constitution standing within the Divine Grace Field might very well die directly due to the suppression of their bio-currents.

A magus could essentially be considered a "humanoid Phantasmal Beast," closer to a Phantasmal Species than a human. If there weren't many people around, suppressing bio-currents wouldn't be a big deal.

Although Li Zihan would suffer miserably, he wouldn't die, at least.

However, this was a bustling urban area.

S = πr². If π was taken as 3.14, the Eleventh Herrscher's barrier range would be 3.14 multiplied by 100 squared, which was 31,400 square kilometers.

If Judah were to activate its Zeroth Power for just one minute, all humans and animals within an area nearly fifteen times the size of Tokyo would be wiped out.

Just as Sirin was clueless about mysticism, Li Zihan was clueless about Honkai-ology. His control over the Divine Keys was very poor; he couldn't control them properly at all.

Li Zihan's expression became conflicted.

He finally understood the pain of being uncultured.

"What are you still hesitating for? My servant."

Seemingly noticing the highly conflicted look on Li Zihan's face, a hint of a smile appeared on Sirin's.

Is he hesitating, not refusing?

That's good. With a little guidance, I'll get the answer I want.

Sirin thought, brimming with a bizarre self-assurance.

As if her charm value was on par with a certain blonde-haired, red-eyed vampire fond of driving road rollers.

"To become the servant of God's Apostle, isn't that the supreme glory for a human? I shall share with you the glory bestowed by God."

What kind of ridiculous persuasion tactic was this?

Li Zihan's eyes glazed over slightly.

Come on, the basic routine for persuasion is threats and inducements!

Setting aside threats for a moment, you should at least understand inducements, right?!

After all this, you're just trying to recruit me into your cult to worship the Honkai God?

Even if you're trying to recruit me, you could at least find a more reliable deity!

The Honkai God is just an examiner, probably only for the first stage of the civilizational trial. If one were to worship a god, it should be the Imaginary Tree or the Sea of Quanta!

You'd have better luck promising to allocate beautiful girls and Divine Keys after destroying civilization; at least I'd be tempted for a few seconds!

An old retort caught in his throat, and for a moment, Li Zihan didn't know what to say.

However, in Miss Pufferfish's eyes, such an expression clearly meant he was stunned by her promise.

She chuckled, "Hmph, hmph," looking exactly like Kiana in that moment.

"It seems you've made up your mind."

"Yes, I've made up my mind."

The young man, feeling he could only use Judah's First Rated Power, nodded.

The First Rated Power of the Oath of Judah was clearly not enough to directly deal with a Herrscher, but it wouldn't go as far as suppressing bio-currents.

An almost imperceptible black mist rose from the tachi at the young man's waist, spread out in an instant, and then vanished.

Jizo Mitama, Third Rated Power.

Due to the Honkai God's favor and her own extraordinary power, Sirin was an incredibly arrogant person. And arrogant people always overlook certain things.

What he needed to do was to first amplify this arrogance.

Sirin had no sensation whatsoever of the Twelfth Divine Key's power manifesting.

Even Saint Kallen had her personality twisted by a not-yet-fully-awakened Higokumaru, causing her to fall in love with Yae Sakura, who should have been her confidante.

For Sirin, a little girl who hadn't even gone through basic military training, to detect the power of Jizo Mitama would be truly鬼unnatural.

She smiled happily.

She felt that the fellow opposite her had completely submitted, becoming her loyal servant.

Since he had completely submitted, there was no need to prepare defensive measures, right?

Sirin, who had hidden her Subspace Lances in Imaginary Space, snapped her fingers, converting them back into Honkai energy.

She was utterly unaware that the fellow opposite her was licking his canines, like a predator before a hunt.

But she remained oblivious to it.

Or rather, she ignored it.

Dracula was a vampire. The body of a person holding the Stigmata Dracula would undergo a certain degree of mutation, allowing them to extract the Honkai energy of a victim through blood as a medium.

This wasn't Sirin's first awakening. In the past, Siegfried had also defeated her, forcing her into dormancy.

The principle behind it was still unknown. Li Zihan guessed that Sirin could only suppress Kiana when Honkai energy was abundant in her body. If the Honkai energy within her was insufficient, then she, as the Herrscher personality, would likely fall dormant once more.

If Sirin didn't fall dormant, then he would have to resort to some less-than-humane methods.

The young man, who wasn't particularly fond of using soul-related magecraft, thought as he walked towards Sirin.

Amidst Sirin's beaming smile, the golden cross floated out from the young man's chest, drifting towards her.

And then—

Her smile froze. Her power began to drain away frantically, and her expression twisted in pain.

"Oath of Judah, First Rated Power."
