"Even if the sky over all of Luofo collapses, Lady Diviner will hold it up."
Qingque picked up the Tea on the table, took a sip, and let out a satisfied sound.
She continued, "Even though Lady Diviner is lacking in height, her capabilities truly reach the heavens."
Any crime will be brought to justice by Lady Fu Xuan.
"So for something this small, there's really no need to worry too much. Eat when it's time to eat, drink when it's time to drink, maybe before you even notice it, the crisis will already be resolved."
She finished the Adeptus' Joy Tea in two gulps, raised both hands, and declared, "Tomorrow will be another wonderful day!"
Seeing Qingque like this, Levi really wanted to ask, "Who gave you this confidence? Someone about the same height as Fu Xuan?"
———
Leaving Aurum Alley, Levi waved goodbye to Bailu and Qingque.
After returning home, he went into the bathroom and began washing up.
———
On the other side, Kiana of St. Freya Academy had also finished dinner and was now lying face-down on the bed, completely motionless, following the doctor's advice.
"Sirin, did you really lose all six Herrscher cores like Levi said?"
'…'
"I feel like he made it up just to insult you. Losing six Herrscher cores feels like something no one could do."
Just the power of a single Herrscher was enough for Levi to nearly wipe out the Far East Branch's combat force in Nagazora City.
Kiana didn't dare imagine how terrifying the combined power of six Herrscher cores would be.
'…'
'Sirin doesn't want to talk to you and throws a tomato at you.:
Every word was an insult.
And the worst part was, she was saying nothing but the truth.
Sirin shut down emotionally.
'Could it be I'm really not even as good as an eighty-year-old granny?'
After being insulted again and again, Sirin began to doubt herself.
———
[Lumine: Boring! I want to see blood flow like a river!]
[Stelle: ZZZZZ~ (asleep, do not disturb)]
"What nonsense is that traitor Lumine spouting now?"
Looking at Lumine's sudden message in the chat group, Kiana was completely confused.
"Kiana, it's your turn!"
"Coming!"
Losing interest in Lumine's follow-up messages, Kiana sprang up from the bed and hurriedly grabbed her clothes, rushing toward the bathroom.
She saw Raiden Mei wrapped in a bath towel, carefully tidying her damp hair.
Kiana wanted to step forward to help.
But Bronya got there first.
Looking at the little shorty standing behind Raiden Mei, Kiana nearly ground her molars to dust.
As if sensing Kiana's gaze, Bronya, wearing pajamas, turned around and looked at her.
"Isn't Kiana going to shower?"
"…I'm going."
After quickly finishing washing up and walking out of the bathroom, Kiana dried her hair and let it fall loosely over both shoulders.
Changing into her pajamas, she lay on the bed and reflected on everything that had happened that day.
It didn't really seem like there was anything worth remembering.
Most of the time, she was just a spectator watching Levi show off all by himself.
'But his archery was actually pretty cool!'
It just felt kind of familiar.
Like she'd seen it somewhere before.
'Where was it…'
While thinking, Kiana logged into the chat group and found that it had entered the Great Echo Era.
[Lumine: Boring! I want to see blood flow like a river!]
[March: Boring! I want to see blood flow like a river!]
[Levi: Boring! I want to see blood flow like a river!]
[Kiana: What are you three even doing?!]
[Elysia, Boring! I want to see blood flow like a river!]
"You four!"
"This is rebellion! This is outright rebellion!"
Kiana was furious.
Under heaven, all land belongs to the king.
Even though she, Kiana, wasn't a king, she was the chat group owner.
Group owner, by definition, means the owner of the group.
This chat group should be Kiana's territory.
[Kiana: Audacious traitors! Know your place!]
———
"What's wrong with Kiana?"
Levi scratched his head, utterly confused.
Ignoring Kiana's hysterics, he turned to look toward the corner of the room at the item that had fallen from her.
A massive sword, entirely crimson, leaned against the wall, faint light glowing along its blade.
Just looking at it felt like seeing flames burning across its surface.
It was the greatsword Levi had held to Kiana's neck to threaten her.
Like the Herrscher of Sentience's weapon, Concealed Blade Sheath, the sword Words Lead to Certain Slaughter, the spear Words Go Straight to the Point, and the chained blade, all of them could be considered Herrscher companion weapons.
It had to be said, when it came to naming things, the Herrscher of Sentience stood alone in the Honkai world.
No one could surpass her.
Especially after the "brick" came out, when it came to comedy, she was miles ahead of every other Herrscher.
It could truly be said, "No Herrscher before, none to come after!"
Back to the point.
"How strong can a Herrscher's companion weapon really be?"
Ever since getting it, Levi hadn't properly tested it.
Grabbing the hilt, he tried lifting the greatsword that already looked heavy.
"Pretty heavy."
Successfully lifting the Shining-Ember Greatsword, Levi weighed it in his hands.
For someone untrained, even lifting it would take effort.
For someone trained, the weight might make it awkward to use.
The only person who could really use it smoothly was probably someone like him, a martial arts prodigy born with divine strength.
"I really am naturally strong!"
Levi effortlessly wielded the greatsword one-handed, swinging it freely around the room.
After a long while of movement, there was still no sign of fatigue on his face.
Instead, he grew more and more excited.
Because he could feel power flowing from the Shining-Ember Greatsword into his body.
'System!'
'I want to see what's really going on!'
Was it just an illusion, or did this sword truly have such an ability? Or was it residual Honkai energy inside the blade trying to corrode him again?
His gaze fell on the system panel in front of him.
[Ding!]
[Shining-Ember Greatsword]
[Description: The companion weapon of the Herrscher of Flamescion. Possesses part of the Herrscher of Flamescion's abilities. When Honkai energy is depleted, it will enter cooldown and must wait for Honkai energy to recover.]
That confirmed it, it wasn't that he had fallen into Honkai corruption again.
The power truly came from the weapon itself.
Levi licked his lips.
From the description, the Shining-Ember Greatsword functioned similarly to a Divine Key.
Both would become unusable after exhausting the Honkai energy stored in the weapon, requiring a period of cooldown while it slowly recovered on its own.
But Divine Keys restored their Honkai energy through their Herrscher cores' connection to the Imaginary Space, directly absorbing Honkai energy from there.
As long as they were still on the Tree, Divine Keys never had to worry about becoming useless due to energy depletion.
The Shining-Ember Greatsword, however, had no Herrscher core linking it to Imaginary Space.
Levi had no idea how it recovered its Honkai energy.
So there was a real possibility that once its Honkai energy was spent, it would just turn into a useless hunk of metal.
But Levi had a solution.
Items could be transferred within the chat group.
Worst case, after the Honkai energy ran out, he'd just send it back to Kiana.
In the Honkai world, restoring Honkai energy wasn't a problem.
"Have to admit, Kiana really deserves her title as the Honkai world's protagonist."
Even her companion weapon could grant Herrscher-level power to others.
Even if it was only part of that power.
But that was still Herrscher power.
The higher the knowledge level, the higher the ceiling of power.
Even with just a fraction, if used properly, shattering an Emanator wasn't impossible.
Of course, that wasn't happening with him, don't get carried away.
Levi knew very well what his own level was.
Being able to maintain the lowest baseline of power already satisfied him.
"In my hands, it shouldn't… fall below the floor, at least…"
After all, he'd gone to school.
Unlike that idiot Sirin.
