152: Chapter 152 [Herrscher of Honkai] - Kraps

The boiling sound of the Magma Sea suddenly fell silent. Under the suppression of some invisible force, the dark red magma actually stopped surging like congealed ink, with only fine ripples on the surface. On the black square platform of the [Place of Honkai Beginning], a two-meter-sized black sphere lay quietly dormant, its surface as deep and black as a black hole swallowing light.

"Click—"

A crisp cracking sound rang out. A fine crack suddenly appeared at the top of the black sphere, as thin as a hair, yet carrying heart-palpitating energy fluctuations. This crack spread from top to bottom at a speed visible to the naked eye, intertwining and expanding like a spider web, covering the entire sphere's surface in just three seconds. Wisps of black light seeped from the cracks, staining the entire Magma Sea black.

"Huu—"

A long exhale seemed to come from the Void Realm. The black sphere completely disintegrated with the intense black light that suddenly erupted from the cracks, turning into a thick, ink-like black mist. As the mist rose, it was as if controlled by an invisible hand, quickly spreading across the sky above the Magma Sea, obscuring the dark red firmament. The world instantly fell into pure darkness, with only the black light flowing in the mist, like flickering demon fire, outlining hazy shadows.

Within this mist of ultimate darkness, a pair of fair and tender jade feet slowly emerged from the densest part of the black light. The toes were rounded, the nails had a faint pink hue, and the skin was as delicate as mutton-fat jade, seemingly untouched by the dust of the world. The tips of the toes lightly touched the black platform. The moment they made contact, the originally solid black platform was like ice and snow meeting fire, rapidly collapsing and shattering into countless flake-like black energy particles—this energy was like a swarm of sentient bees, crazily surging toward those jade feet, wrapping and condensing layer upon layer.

First the toes, then the ankles, the black energy rapidly took shape on the jade feet, its edges outlined with dark purple patterns, as if dark purple lightning were embedded within. In the blink of an eye, a pair of knee-high Black High-Heeled Boots formed. The boot shafts clung to the calves, outlining beautiful leg lines. The heels were sharp as blades, ten centimeters high, and the boot surfaces were covered with crisscrossing silver zippers, some partially open to reveal small patches of snowy-white skin, a blend of wildness and allure. The moment the boots formed, the magma below automatically diverted a centimeter from the soles, forming a circular vacuum area. The magma churned but never dared to touch the soles in the slightest.

Black light surged, and a tall female figure slowly emerged. Her figure was slender yet curvaceous, with beautiful shoulder lines, a slim waist, and full hips, every inch exuding fatal temptation. The black mist receded like a tide, quickly condensing and weaving around her, finally turning into a tight-fitting Black Leather Dress. The dress clung to her skin, perfectly outlining her devilish figure. The hem reached mid-thigh, revealing a pair of fair and long legs. Silver zippers crisscrossed the dress, extending from the neckline to the hem. Some were fully closed, while others were halfway open to the waistline, revealing pale purple Honkai Markings on her snowy skin, winding like vines, exuding both a dangerous aura and a wild beauty.

At the neckline, a pigeon-egg-sized black gemstone was set right in the center. The gemstone was diamond-shaped, its surface as smooth as a mirror, with black light flowing inside it like a miniature Honkai world. The black light around her, like liquid mercury, all poured into this gemstone. The gemstone instantly lit up, emitting a deep glow, like a heart condensed from [Honkai Power], slowly throbbing on her chest. With every throb, fine black light overflowed from the gemstone, flowing along her skin and quickly flowing back, forming a perfect cycle.

A black mask condensed from the mist, fitting perfectly onto her face, covering her forehead and eyes, revealing only her small nose and crimson lips. Her lips were full, with clear lip lines, and the corners of her mouth curled into a charming smile. Between the smile and the lack thereof, there was a hint of mockery and disdain, weaving mystery and allure to the extreme. Complex Honkai Markings were carved on the edges of the mask, with pale purple light flowing through them, echoing the dark purple patterns on her dress, adding a touch of eerie and evil temperament.

"Mmm~"

A flirtatious moan escaped her lips, like a feather lightly scratching one's heart, carrying a lazy allure. She stretched, her slender waist twisting slightly, the hem of her dress swaying to reveal a section of fair abdomen. Her abdomen was also covered with pale purple Honkai Markings, which wriggled slightly with her movements like living things. Her arms slowly rose, her fingers slender and long, her nails painted pure black and gleaming, with small wisps of black mist lingering at her fingertips.

Her beautiful eyes opened slightly. Although obscured by the mask, wisps of black light shot out from beneath it, cutting through the air like a physical substance before quickly dissipating into the mist, leaving behind faint energy ripples. She slowly raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching the mask on her face, her movements as gentle as stroking a lover's skin.

Through the mask, one could see narrow Phoenix eyes with upturned corners, carrying a natural allure. Her pupils were pure ink-black, with black light swirling into vortices in the depths of her eyes, as if they could swallow light, and as if they contained the secrets of the entire [Honkai Power]. Her small nose was slightly upturned, with a hint of playfulness, yet neutralized by the coldness in her eyes. Her crimson lips were full and inviting, that charming smile still hanging at the corners of her mouth, though the smile didn't reach her eyes, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

"Hehe~"

Her laughter was as crisp as silver bells, but carried a coldness like the abyss, echoing in the empty valley and stirring up layers of energy ripples. Amidst the laughter, the black mist around her surged violently. As if summoned, it quickly condensed into dozens of small Black Chains, circling and dancing around her, flickering with crimson spots of light like hungry beasts.

"You simple world will! Nothing more than a clown claiming to be a Dominator!" Her voice was charming yet carried unquestionable majesty. With a wave of her hand, the Black Chains around her suddenly wove into a single slender whip. With a light swing, bursts of sonic booms rang out over the Magma Sea. "As the world will of a mere Dream Mission World, you think that by controlling this tiny world and a few Souls, you can call yourself a Dominator? How laughable!"

She slowly took a step forward, her black boots lightly tapping the Void Realm. Her body floated up like a feather, slowly rising above the Magma Sea. The black mist around her completely merged into her black leather tight-fitting dress. She looked down at the churning magma, the black light in her eyes growing denser: "Let me, the [Herrscher of the Honkai]—Klaps, show you what true Dominator power is!"

Klaps excitedly pressed her hands together. The light from the black gemstone on her chest exploded, and a pillar of black light shot straight into the sky, tearing a huge crack in the ink-colored firmament. Dense [Honkai Power] overflowed from the crack, and the sky was like shattered black glass, with cracks spreading rapidly. The entire world trembled slightly.

"Great [Lord of Collapse], your [Herrscher]—Klaps, will practice the will of Honkai in this world!" Her voice suddenly rose, filled with fanatical piety. Black light condensed into a pair of huge Black Wings around her. The wings spanned ten meters, their feathers smooth as obsidian and their edges sharp as knives. "Let every inch of this world's land, every Soul, witness the greatness of Honkai! Let all order become chaos, and let all hope collapse into despair!"

As her voice fell, the black gemstone on her chest throbbed again, and a black energy wave spread outward with her as the center. Wherever the energy wave passed, the magma instantly solidified into black Rock, its surface covered with Honkai Cracks and emitting dense [Honkai Power]. The remains of the black platform in the distance quickly reorganized under the influence of the energy wave, turning into a Black Throne. The throne was carved with hideous Honkai Markings, and its top was embedded with countless small black crystals, emitting an eerie dark purple glow.

Klaps slowly descended onto the throne, her body leaning lazily against the backrest, her legs crossed to reveal a section of her fair thigh. She raised her hand to stroke the black gemstone on her chest, a hint of playfulness flashing in her Phoenix eyes. With a flick of her finger, a small bolt of black energy shot toward the magma below. The magma instantly exploded, and the highway that had collapsed into the magma due to the world collapse actually floated above the Magma Sea. A highway leading directly to the throne extended infinitely into the distance over the Magma Sea, densely covered with cracks leaking [Honkai Power]. "As expected of the world will of this Small World! After being swallowed by me, it actually gave me so much world permission. It seems I can complete more plans before the [Dream System] can react~ Hehe."

"The game has only just begun." Her voice was soft yet carried a fatal threat. Her crimson lips parted slightly, and the breath she exhaled turned into black mist. "Hosts of the Dream System, and those Souls who were lucky enough to escape... soon, you will understand that under the will of Honkai, any resistance is futile."

With a wave of her hand, her Black Wings flapped gently, and countless black feathers drifted down. Upon touching the magma, the feathers turned into small black birds. The birds flapped their wings and flew toward the Doomsday Highway, like messengers delivering news of death. The black gemstone on her chest flickered, making her figure appear even more eerie. The Honkai Power of the world crazily converged toward her as if summoned, and her aura rapidly rose, becoming increasingly powerful and terrifying. "Mmm~ so comfortable~ Is this the [Honkai Power] after collapsing more than half the world? As expected, world collapse is the best!"

The Magma Sea boiled again, but this time it was no longer red magma, but black Honkai Power. Black flames burned in the magma, and black mist filled the sky. The entire Place of Honkai Beginning completely fell under Klaps's Domain, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression. And this newborn [Herrscher of the Honkai] sat on her Black Throne, quietly waiting for her prey to arrive, her eyes filled with expectation and madness.
