[Welcome back, Urien]

A series of texts passed through Urien's eyes. They were too fast to read, but he noticed that his injuries were healing, including the effect of Honkai Neutralizing Serum.

Holding his head, Urien remembered two of his previous lives. One where he was hit by a car after saving his best friend and another where he, the top brass of Fire Moth, died fighting… no, getting slaughtered by the Herrscher of Thunder and Herrscher of the End.

But there is also another set of memories. There, he is not included in the story. His friends go on with their journeys without him in their lives.

Instead of being sad, he was happy for them. He was just an extra in their stories. He wanted to dwell on the subject, but he had another thing to do.

"Hua!" he shouted. "Turn off the camera!" Pointing at her glasses, he asked her.

"I'm sorry, Otto. I'll be turning off the camera," She did exactly what she was told without asking twice.

Otto, on the other side, just sighed. He doesn't have another camera placed in the area. Well, he'll just need to do something about the change in Urien. And maybe do something to keep that whitehead's mouth shut about Sirin. Perhaps a deal or two… He is sure he'll manage that somehow.

Looking at Sirin in front of him, Urien smiled. He doesn't know what she meant by calling him her brother. But he is sure he'll protect her. He knew that the Sirin from his memory was not the one in front of him.

And he promised himself not to mix someone from reality with the one from his memory. But, exceptions can be made, especially for Sirin. No matter which world it is, she has already suffered enough.

"Come, Sirin," spreading his arms, Urien told the Herrscher in front of him to come near him. His tone is very gentle, and it was very gentle that even Fu Hua, who had been the longest with him, hadn't heard that tone from him before.

"Wha…?" The 50,000 years old super virgin was confused. She hasn't heard Urien using this tone before, not even to HIMEKO. Even more so after HIMEKO's death. "Does this connect to the changes of aura around him?" she muttered. As someone who had lived for a long time, she could immediately tell that something inside her friend had changed.

But for Sirin, this tone is something she was familiar with, something she longed for. It was the tone of her gentle brother. "Brother?" Sirin muttered as she dropped Urien's weapon from her hands.

"Brother!" She dived into Urien's arms like a child.

"Urien!" Fu Hua shouted, noticing something strange.

*Stabbed*

A kitchen knife stabbed Urien's abdomen. "Brother! Brother! I won't let you go! I'll make sure to cut off your limbs so that you can only rely on me, forever and ever," pulling the knife from Urien's abdomen, Sirin said with a crazed look on her face.

But seeing Urien's still smiling face, she thought something was weird. It was like this brother of hers did not have an injury on his abdomen. Touching the place where she stabbed him, Sirin noticed that there was no wetness of blood.

"Wha?!" The 2nd Herrscher was dumbfounded. "Why!" *Stab!* "Aren't!" *Stab!* "You!" *Stab!* "Bleeding?!" She asked while stabbing his stomach repeatedly.

"I wonder why…," Urien's smile did not falter even in the face of Sirin's stabbing.

"If I can't stab you then, I'll just use the Vapor of Serenity to rot your limbs!" The black mist appeared on Sirin's hands, and she grabbed the whitehead's hands.

"Hmm… this should be the Herrscher of Death's power. My, my, Sirin had grown up a lot. Even KEVIN and I had troubles handling this Herrscher before," Urien nodded in satisfaction. Even if they had not become the MANTIS, they trained very hard to handle the Herrscher situations.

"Why?! Your limbs should be unusable now!" Sirin went mad after seeing what she did had no effect on Urien.

"Yes, Urien. I also want to ask myself," Fu Hua also nodded from the side. As someone who fought in the Second Honkai War, she knew how scary this ability was.

"Who am I going to ask if you guys ask me?!" Urien sighed. He didn't know he had this ability. "It should be related to that voice…," he thought.

Not minding the hostility(?) coming from Sirin, he patted her head. "Sirin…," he started. "That's enough. You did a good job, Sirin. Let's go home," he reassured her with a warm smile on his face.

A trail of tears dropped from Sirin's eyes. She wanted to go back with her beloved brother. She wanted to leave all of her sufferings and be happy with him. She hugged him silently while sobbing quietly.

*Monster* A thought flashed through her mind. Yes, she is a monster. She cannot accept her brother's warm hands unless she wants to kill him too. She had already killed that lovely lady who treated her like her own daughter.

She did not regret killing humans. After all, Humanity had robbed everything from her. Her home, her mother, and most of all, her dear brother. But now that her brother is alive and well, she doesn't care anymore. Humanity and Honkai can go and rot in hell. She will be fine as long as she has her brother.

She wants her brother all for herself. But those vixens are getting in their way, including that so-called Queen of Thunder. Bleh, that was just a knock-off Herrscher anyway. That weakling who got her power from the gem won't be able to hold a candle to the real Herrscher like her. She'll just need to take away her brother by force.

But… she realized that her brother won't get injured whatever she did to him, which was a shame. She wanted to cut off his limbs so that he could stay with her forever and ever.

She can kill those around him so that she is the only one left, but… that would be a problem. What she wanted was her brother, not some mind-broken human.

Her brother will stop being her brother once he loses his radiance. He won't get angry if she hurts him, but when she starts hurting those around him, he'll do so. What a hypocrite her brother is. Well, that's why she loves him after all.

She has another option, but… she doesn't like to use it if possible. That goody two-shoe side of hers… she can use that idiot. Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she is also Sirin. That idiot could make her brother put down his guard sometimes. Yes, that could work.

She'll have to show her the happy memories with her brother instead of the time in Babylon labs. Who was she kidding? She's going to show her both.

Now that she has made plans for the future, it is time for her to depart. She'll watch over her brother through the other personality of hers.

"Un! Let's go home!" Sirin nodded and held Urien's hand on her head. And her body went limp right after saying that, making the male whitehead hold her.

"Urien!" Fu Hua rushed toward him as soon as she made sure she wouldn't get in Urien's way.

"I am fine, Hua. Take the gem away from her," Urien replied as his hand went through Kiana's hair.

Fu Hua was stunned again. It was not because of Urien's closeness with Sirin. No. It was because of the smile on his face. She couldn't forget that smile. How could she? He wore that same smile when he saw him for the last time, 50,000 years ago.

"Urien… that smile on your face," Fu Hua's voice trailed off.

"Hmm? Oh… I was smiling?" Touching his face, Urien muttered. "I guess I'm pleased and very proud of something at the same time," he answered, his eyes still on Kiana.

Fu Hua nodded, not wanting to look at him any longer, or else she'll have more PTSD by looking at him. "Gem of Serenity, secured," Fu Hua informed.

"Well, let's go back," turning into his Herrscher form, Urien made a portal to the battleship with the power of Herrscher of Void. He doesn't mind Fu Hua seeing his Herrscher side anymore.

From the new memories he got, Urien noticed that there was Jingwei in there. And it wasn't hard to put two and two together.

Since there is also a history of Jingwei in Shenzhou in this world, that person is without doubt Fu Hua. She had worked hard protecting the world in his absence. So, Urien thought that he should be able to trust her with this secret.

"Urien… that's!" Fu Hua was shocked… for another time today. Honkai Energy has skyrocketed in the surrounding area. But… It was maintained around Urien, and the massive amount of Honkai Energy didn't hurt her slightly at all.

"It's my Herrscher form. It looks nice, right?" Urien asked as he spread his arms and spun his body around.

"Somehow, your face made me want to punch you. But… how?!" Fu Hua is on the verge of having PTSD. Everything ended 50,000 years ago because URIEN became a Herrscher. And now, he is acting like it wasn't a big deal and casually using said power.

"Hm? Oh, this power? Neat, right? The other me said this power is second only to the Herrscher of the End," Urien replied as he picked up his weapon. "Let's talk about it later. You'll come back with us, right?" he asked.

Staring straight at his face, Fu Hua nodded. She needs time to digest all of this information. "Wait… Kyuushou knew about this too?!" She asked as she walked into the portal with Kiana in her hands.

"Of course I do!" Fu Hua almost dropped Kiana when she heard the voice of the Savior coming from behind.

"I'm sorry, Urien," Kyuushou apologized with a sheepish smile on her face. "About Sirin… I promise I'll—" She stopped as soon as she found herself in Urien's arms.

"It's okay, Kyuushou. I understand," she heard Urien's voice beside her ears.

"Eh?! What's up with you? Did you hurt your head? Don't worry, this Savior will—" Again, she stopped as she couldn't believe what Urien said next.

"Thank you, Kyuushou, for keeping your promise. You actually made more friends," going his hand through her hair, Urien thanked her.

"Eh?!" Kyuushou shouted.

"Are you perhaps forgetting me, Urien?" Before they could go any further, Fu Hua's deadpan stare appeared beside them.
