Honkai Impact 3rd: Catching the Herrscher of Sentience at the Start

He tossed the glowing red sword, Twilight, into the air and chanted, "Divinity lies in the extreme of transformation, the wondrous essence of all creation, beyond comprehension."

March 7th, watching Fu Lin's back, murmured, "Can he defeat the Doomsday Beast…?"

"Of course! Though it's a bit overkill for Fu Lin to use this move." Fu Shi quipped from the side.

"Edge of Taixuan!"

-------------------

As Fu Lin declared "Edge of Taixuan" a part of the space seemed to be sliced open by a sharp object. A massive blood-red sword, shrouded in mist, slowly appeared above the space station.

"Is this truly a miracle..." The staff in the main control cabin stared in awe through the skylight at the majestic sight, unable to suppress their exclamations.

"Was this the work of the Express Crew...?" Asta, busy fending off the antimatter legion, looked up upon hearing the others' gasps and was instantly stunned by the scene.

At that moment, the Doomsday Beast, sensing a fatal threat, began struggling violently. Within moments, it ascended into the air, gathering energy into its antimatter engine and firing an annihilation beam toward the Taixuan Blade suspended in the space above it.

"Will it really be stopped by the Doomsday Beast?" March 7th, hiding behind Himeko, worriedly asked as she watched the massive sword face off against the beast.

"This sword is not something it can block so easily," Fu Lin said with a slight smile, calmly observing the Doomsday Beast's desperate resistance.

Although Fu Lin's Taixuan Sword lacked the spiritual resonance of Fu Hua's God Key, its power, enhanced by Twilight, was far beyond what a single beam could counter.

As the Taixuan Sword approached, the Doomsday Beast's laser was instantly cleaved apart. The massive sword then descended directly onto the Doomsday Beast.

"Boom!!!" With a thunderous roar, a powerful shockwave pushed everyone back, while the Doomsday Beast crashed heavily onto the platform, lifeless.

"Finally, it's over!" Himeko steadied herself and exhaled in relief, gazing at the fallen Doomsday Beast.

Asta, watching the scene unfold via projection, excitedly exclaimed, "We did it! The space station is safe!"

The staff, overwhelmed with joy, hugged each other while shouting at the screen, where Fu Lin, identical to Kafka, appeared,

"Long live the Herrscher of Sentience!"

"Long live the Herrscher of Sentience!"

Fu Lin, ???

Meanwhile, March 7th eagerly ran to the fallen Doomsday Beast, pulling out a blue camera and posing with the beast. "This big guy wasn't that tough~"

"Hmph~ I didn't even get to enjoy the fight before it went down~"

"Come on, get up and fight me for another 300 rounds!"

As soon as March 7th spoke, fate seemed to grant her wish.

The seemingly lifeless Doomsday Beast suddenly opened its eyes, letting out an enraged roar as it ascended into the air, locking its gaze on Fu Lin.

Asta, "..."

Staff, "..."

Dan Heng, "March..."

Fu Lin rubbed his forehead and said helplessly to March, "Did you bless your mouth or something?"

Fu Shi, "What an amazing mouth you have. Impressive~"

Himeko, "March... maybe you should talk less in the future."

Stelle, "You might as well sew your mouth shut. That way, you won't have to worry about being a jinx."

"What?! Then how would I eat? Besides, it's definitely this guy pretending to be dead earlier—it has nothing to do with me!" March 7th quickly shifted the blame to the Doomsday Beast, looking pitifully at everyone.

Dan Heng, "At this point, I think I have no choice..."

"I have no choice but to use my trump card to finish it!" Fu Lin declared seriously. "Fu Shi, I'll need your power for this move."

Dan Heng, "...You still have energy left?"

"Oh? What move requires my power?" Fu Shi asked curiously.

Fu Lin solemnly replied, "Edge of Taixuan 2.0 Pro Max."

Himeko murmured as she observed Fu Lin, "To think he still has strength left... impressive. I wonder if we can recruit him to board the Express~"

Stelle's eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked at Fu Lin. "As expected of Dad—even the name of his technique sounds so badass!"

Fu Shi, after pondering for a long time and flipping through memories of ancient knowledge, couldn't find any mention of the so-called Edge of Taixuan 2.0 Pro Max. She turned a skeptical gaze toward Fu Lin and asked, "Why have I never heard of this version of the Edge of Taixuan?"

"Because I just made it up..." Fu Lin replied, looking at the Doomsday Beast outside the platform.

Closing her eyes, Fu Shi lent her power to Fu Lin and said, "You... better return my power after this!"

"Of course. I'm not an old fraud—who even does scams these days?" Fu Lin retorted, looking disdainfully at the Doomsday Beast as he felt the surge of Herrscher power in his body.
