I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [188]

No words were needed.

No further explanations.

Just by looking, it was clear.

Something strange was happening to the Second Herrscher, Sirin.

Through Zhongli’s eyes, he could see it clearly—the energy known in this world as Honkai energy was rapidly draining from her body.

That energy was constructing something.

A path.

A gate, leading not just into the sky but beyond—to the stars.

Following its trajectory, Zhongli’s gaze landed upon this planet’s lone satellite—the crater-ridden moon.

And there, on the moon’s surface, something stirred.

Something of equal standing to himself.

No—perhaps even greater.

An entity was reaching across the void, using both the moon and the body before him as conduits for some form of communication.

Zhongli frowned. He could sever this connection immediately—by simply killing Sirin where she lay.

That would eliminate the conduit and prevent any further interference.

But…

He could already tell that this girl’s life was something Fu Hua held in high regard. Killing her now would be a waste.

More importantly—this was the first time he had encountered an existence on par with himself.

And he could not guarantee that, if he did kill this girl, he would be able to bring her back.

The interference between two higher-dimensional beings on the same timeline was far too complex. Even for him, resurrection was not assured.

As he pondered—

The Honkai-constructed gate continued to take shape.

Its presence became visible to the naked eye—forming into a spiraling vortex.

At last, Theresa, Himeko, and the others saw it too.

Their expressions shifted drastically.

As Valkyries, warriors who fought using Honkai energy, their sensitivity to its fluctuations was leagues beyond Zhongli’s.

And now, faced with the sheer quality and quantity of the energy gathering before them—

They were afraid.

“What’s going on?” Theresa’s voice was sharp, her gaze locking onto Zhongli.

Zhongli took a moment to deliberate before answering.

“…Be careful.”

His voice was calm but firm.

“This change in the girl is due to a higher-dimensional entity directing its gaze upon her.”

“If my senses are correct, that entity is attempting to descend into this world—using her body as a vessel.”

His words left Theresa and the others staring at each other in alarm.

Theresa, the most experienced among them, understood immediately.

A higher-dimensional entity…

There was only one thing it could be.

The Will of Honkai—the so-called God of Honkai itself.

“That’s… impossible…”

She was frozen in place, murmuring to herself.

No. No, this isn’t right. It’s not supposed to happen yet—why…?

She quickly turned back to Zhongli.

“Mr. Zhongli—can you stop this?”

Zhongli nodded.

“It’s quite simple.”

“All I have to do is kill the girl.”

“If she dies, the connection is severed. The higher-dimensional entity will lose its conduit and withdraw.”

“…However.”

He glanced at the four women, all visibly struggling with the decision.

Then, he shook his head.

“It seems none of you wish for that outcome.”

“Very well. Then there is only one other solution.”

“What is it?” Raiden Mei took two steps forward, unable to contain her urgency.

Zhongli regarded her with a calm expression.

“We wait.”

“…Wait?”

“Yes. We wait until the gate fully forms—until the higher-dimensional entity fully descends into this world.”

“And then—we destroy it.”

His voice was steady. Matter-of-fact.

“It’s simple, isn’t it?”

“We don’t need to do anything right now. We just have to wait.”

“…However.”

His golden eyes darkened slightly.

“I should warn you—by simple reasoning, this means that whatever appears will be far stronger than the Second Herrscher, Sirin.”

“…No. Not just stronger.”

“Far beyond anything you’ve faced before.”

“…What?” Himeko breathed out in shock.

“Because.” Zhongli’s voice remained devoid of emotion.

“This is the gaze of a higher-dimensional being.”

As they spoke—

Sirin’s body began to change.

The six Imaginary Bands that had once floated around her dissolved, their essence breaking down into pure Honkai energy.

The energy flooded into her.

It was unlike anything Theresa, Mei, or the others had ever felt.

Even during the Second and Third Honkai Outbreaks—even then—there had never been this much Honkai energy gathered in a single place.

If the Honkai energy they had encountered before was a mere one,

Then what was before them now—was at least one hundred times that.

Theresa and the others hesitated, struggling to make a decision.

But Sirin’s transformation continued.

The three radiant wings of light that had once hovered behind her—

Began to reawaken.

Her body lifted into the air, her eyes remaining shut.

The Honkai energy behind her surged, forming another set of three wings of light—directly replacing the now-vanished Void Spears.

Delicate golden patterns began etching themselves across her armored form.

Her forehead gained an intricate, feather-like mark.

Her pure white hair grew, lengthening wildly.

Her features shifted—becoming even more refined, more ethereal.

More… inhuman.

If the Second Herrscher, Sirin, had once exuded the aura of a queen—

Then the being before them now was a god.

Mystical.

Powerful.

Serene.

Cold.

The hem of her dress was no longer a simple white.

Instead, it shimmered—like the cosmos itself.

And then—

The last of the Honkai energy began gathering atop her head.

A radiant halo slowly formed.

It gleamed with a divine light.

"…Kiana…"

Theresa, Bronya, Mei, and Himeko could do nothing but stare, their minds unable to process what they were witnessing.

This was beyond them.

Beyond anything they had imagined.

Hummmm—!!

A deep resonance filled the air.

It was as if the entire planet—

The very Honkai itself—

Was celebrating.

Was singing.

Was welcoming.

Their god—

Had descended.
