Man is the original god, the lawer of reason

Looking around, there are countless puppets of different shapes all over the place, walking towards the most central theater with stiff steps.

There are countless transparent silk threads wrapped around their bodies, and the source of the silk threads hangs down from the endless void, as if there is an invisible big hand manipulating them.

Zhen stretched out her hand and tried to activate the teleportation ability she had used in the stratum abyss, but obviously, in this theater, that ability failed.

"Hey, what are you looking around for?"

At some point, a puppet appeared near the truth.

"Don't even think about running away, dear Miss Leidenzhen, you can't escape here.

"--Please allow me to introduce you again, welcome to--Domination Theater. This place will also become your home in the future."

The puppet contorted its face, its head suddenly turned 360 degrees in place, and then continued.

"Lei Dianzhen, exiled by the high heavens, the demon god Baal, the former god of thunder, the creator of the dream, the former general of thunder and lightning, and the master of the imperial building Naruto revered by the people of Daozuma, Lord Ogosho--ah, you There are so many names."

"...you really know me well."

"Of course, we've been following you since you came here, oh no, no, to be more precise, it's your body—an exquisite puppet body, that's exactly what we need."

I really remember Chen Luo once said that the Herrscher of Dominion has the characteristic of taking the abilities of others by force and sharing them among his thousand individuals.

Presumably, they fell in love with this puppet body made with Lei Movie's secret technique, as well as the past knowledge that Zhen possessed.

"What are you going to do after you get my body?"

"What? Don't you even know that?"

The puppet replied sarcastically.

"Of course it is to practice the will of Houkai, let this false garden, let this meaningless world disappear—!"

...It seems that he is a lawyer of the fundamental religion.

"Unfortunately, I won't let you do what you want."

Let's really understand the other party's power as the ability to control the spirit. It seems that as long as the heart is shaken and infected with negative factors, the other party will take advantage of it and become a puppet—that is, a member of the Law of Thousands of People.

But for her, wanting to invade her heart is not a simple matter.

"Ah, yes, yes, your heart is indeed as solid as a rock—on this point, we must admit your character, hehe, what a noble existence, it will take a lot of effort to corrode your heart."

The puppet's head turned around again.

"But——we have done our homework a long time ago. Even when you were a demon god, you were just a waste with weak force. After being resurrected by that guy, you are just a phantom attached to his existence. You like this What can you do if you are dragged into the theater of domination alone? You——can't do anything!"

The puppet laughed wildly and snapped its fingers.

The Houkai can take shape in front of it, and several huge Houkai beasts appeared in response. Of course, their bodies were also entangled with silk threads.

"Let's do both. Whether it's mind or body, you can only be corroded in this theater of domination. If you don't believe me, look at your body—the golden thread has already entangled you."

The created Honkai Beast is gradually approaching Raiden Zhen, and in this closed domination theater, she seems to have nowhere to escape.

However, at the next moment, a blue light suddenly shone behind Zhenzhen, something was constructed, and several light-emitting cannons were shot out, piercing through the bodies of the Houkai Beasts, knowing their lives.

"What... what?!"

The puppet said unexpectedly, this is obviously not from Leiden's real attack - from the information they understand, Leiden really does not have such an attack method, this attack method is obviously-

With a sigh, behind Zhen, the projection of a white-haired girl gradually took shape.

"...So, why do you have to hand over the job of bodyguard to me?"

Chapter 21 Prometheus, Thunder and Domination Theater

The night before heading to Longji Snow Mountain with Teresa.

"?_?...You want me to protect her?"

In the residence of Mond City, a blue projection floated beside Chen Luo, Chen Luo asked Prometheus so.

"Well, after all, this time is no better than that time in the layered rock abyss. There are many doubts in the city of Mond. I am still a little worried about leaving Zhen alone here."

Chen Luo was talking to Prometheus.

"But when you are using the Herrscher of Thunder mode, I can't do anything... Wait, are you worried that the Herrscher of Domination exists here?"

According to the last battle experience with the Void Tree Skeleton Nihilism at the bottom of the Abyss, if it is located in an area outside the interface of the Tivat continent, Prometheus can overcome Chenluo's single-core limit and exercise alone. the power of the Lawer of Reason.

She has already shared with Chen Luo the powers of the first twelve Herrschers. Except for the mysterious and unknown No.13 Herrscher and the Final Herrscher, Prometheus is already familiar with the information about the other Herrschers. in the heart.

"Well, if Daiinsreb hadn't lied underground, then there is probably only one of the first twelve Herrschers who can quietly evade my detection here in Mond."

Chen Luo said.

The power of the dominant Herrscher is not strong in the outside world, they don't even dare to use the body of a puppet to appear in the world, and this is even more so on the Tivat continent where the Houkai energy hardly exists.

This may be the reason why they have been keeping secret.

But within their own domain, the theater of domination, things are quite different.

That being the case, they will definitely find a way to pull the target into the domination theater, and the discovery that Zhen said is probably also related to this aspect.

And dominating the closed space of the theater just met the conditions for Prometheus to exercise its power alone.

"?_?...I understand. It just so happens that if it is really the Herrscher of Domination, I also have something I want to study."

"Is it the previous research on the imaginary number space?"

Prometheus nodded.

"If you want to allow you to use multiple cores freely, my research still lacks the necessary material-data related to space. The Herrschers related to space abilities are only the Herrscher of Rock, the Herrscher of Space and The Herrscher of Domination."

"...Although it's just speculation, if it's really the Herrscher of Domination, you have to be careful. I'll find a way from the outside world. With the connection between you and me, we can always find a breakthrough."

"?_?... You are really confident in my ability. If you are so worried about her, why don't you personally ambush her and sneak into the Domination Theater? Just like what you did with Xinhai when you were in Yuanxia Palace."

"It needs to be corrected. Not only is it true, I also care about your safety... But, they will definitely avoid me. I have been unable to find their traces at all these days, probably because they are avoiding me on purpose."

Chen Luo pointed out the right way.

"However, assuming that it is really the Herrscher of Domination, the first thing they want to do is definitely not to kill you, but to use the power of [Domination] to take away the power of the Herrscher from you and the real body, and we just happen to be able to Take advantage of that in turn.”

Since they want to rob power, the Dominator puppets will not come up and resort to killing moves, but according to their habits, put on a play in the Domination Theater, so that the visitors who are invited here will be assimilated by them step by step.

"Well, so, what I have to do is to delay time with her, gather information in the domination theater, and wait for you to rush back to rescue."

Prometheus nodded.

Although this plan is indeed a bit risky, going behind the enemy's rear is indeed the best way to directly understand the details of the enemy.

"...But, are you so confident that you can find the entrance to the Domination Theater?"

asked Prometheus.

Chen Luo smiled and replied.

"Don't forget, who did I practice with in Daozuma? I have entered and exited a different space like Yixin Pure Land countless times. If the Herrscher of Domination really opened up a space rift and pulled it in, I can definitely find it."

……

"To sum up, I am in ambush inside the Flower of Eden, and I appeared here when I thought it was the right time."

Dominating the interior of the theater, Prometheus exercised the power of law to destroy the Houkai beast in front of him, and at the same time quickly explained the reason to her.

Thanks to the fact that Prometheus is a stay at home, and she has been lodged in Chen Luo's core of law since she appeared, the Herrscher of Domination has no information about her at all.

"you you you……!"

The puppet seemed a little stunned, but it quickly identified the source of Prometheus' power, and said with a playful smile.

"I didn't expect that besides the [Herserscher of Thunder], [The Herrscher of Reason] also came to the theater. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. Two wishes are fulfilled at once!"

"It should be the first time I saw you, but I don't know why, but I always feel a little angry..."

Prometheus shook his head while stretching out his hand, projecting several weapons that penetrated the puppet in front of him.

Of course, for the puppet, this kind of piercing attack couldn't take its life away. Even if the head fell from the wooden puppet's torso, the other party would still chatter endlessly.

"That's great, it's actually the Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of Reason! As long as we can get the power of the Herrscher of Reason, we don't have to talk to that damned alchemist anymore! Invade Tivat The plan can be put on the agenda earlier!"

"It seems that you are very concerned about getting a new doll body."

Thunder really pondered.

"Hehehe, of course, with our current body, we can't—"

Before the doll could finish speaking, the flames that fell from the sky completely burned its head, making it quiet.

"Finally quiet down."

Prometheus breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Lei Dianzhen beside him.

"……Hello."

"Hello, I didn't expect that we would meet here for the first time."

Really whispered.

Regarding the existence of Prometheus, she had vaguely felt it very early on. Similar to the real situation, they are all existences residing in the core of the Herrscher. In a sense, they are probably neighbors.

It's just that Chen Luo said that she was afraid of strangers, so she has been reluctant to come out. It's the first time I saw it with my own eyes today, but...

"Isn't this cute? Did you design this dress yourself?"

Really covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

"...cough cough, yes, that's right."

Prometheus blushed.

"...In short, let us work together to find clues and ways to leave in this theater of domination."

Chapter 22 The Plan of the Herrscher of Domination

The Ruler of Dominion is also known as "The Ruler of Thousands of People".

Being able to have up to a thousand individuals at the same time, rather than the only individual, is the most different characteristic of it from other herrschers.

Because of this, it is not an easy task to eliminate it.

Although the strength of each individual is not strong, if these thousand individuals cannot be destroyed at the same time, no matter how many times they are eliminated, even if only one is left, they will still come back again.

Fortunately, they covet the power of the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Thunder, so they will not really attack Prometheus and Raiden.

The power of [Domination] can be taken away after the opponent uses the power, and still let the original host bear the price of using the power.

Of course, this dominant behavior is not without conditions.

"Drawing you into the domination theater, apart from coveting your puppet body, I am afraid there is also a factor of the power of the Herrscher of Thunder."

Prometheus and Raiden really walk in the corridors that dominate the theater.

"Well, I heard from Chen Luo that they can plunder other people's power, but there should be certain conditions."

"That's right... According to the information Chen Luo knows, if you want to plunder the power, first, you need the puppet to have close physical contact with the other party, and second, the power of the Herrscher needs to act on the puppet itself, or it needs to be created by them. derivative."

The attack that Prometheus used power to carry out just now kept a considerable distance from the Houkai Beast, and when destroying the doll, it also maintained a sufficient distance.

"There is also the most important one. The so-called domination is essentially a power struggle with the other party. Because of this, they only dare to find opportunities to drag you... such an existence that is not strong enough into the theater of domination."

Although Chen Luo has not fully controlled the power of Herrscher's core, the puppets may still be afraid of losing in the wrestling with him.

"Collaborative, bullying the weak, it is very in line with their... style."

"But that's just old information after all. It's hard for us to guarantee that [The Herrscher of Domination] here hasn't developed any weird new powers, so I'll try to avoid using the power of the Herrscher of Reason to a large extent, you... ... as well."

While the two were walking and talking, not far away, two or three control dolls reappeared in front of them.

"Ahem, ahem, although there are unexpected visitors, we have prepared a brand new play for the two of you!"

The puppet fiddled with the mechanical limbs, and said to the two in a weird posture.

"Even if there is an additional Herrscher of Reason, there is nothing to be afraid of at all—after all, you are only [number one], and we are [number ten]."

"...If it were in other worlds, what you said might make sense, but in this Tivat...the order of the Herrschers is meaningless at all."

Originally, the order in which Herrschers appeared basically determined their upper limit of power—after all, Honkai is an existence that is closely related to human civilization. exaggerate.

But in this Tivat... this rule probably doesn't apply.

Prometheus stretched out his hand, constructed a considerable number of flying swords behind himself, and guided the flying swords to stab the puppet in front of him.
