Book 5: Chapter 24:1: Sirin Starting to Puff Up, Part 1

After Sirin finished the sandwiches, Chen Heng explained the functions of the ring he had given her.

“Alright. I don’t mind keeping it on, but, Elder Brother, can’t you switch it to another finger?” Sirin really liked the exquisite ring on her index finger.

“Don’t even think about it. I’ll have you know it is impossible for you to remove the ring. You can try it if you don’t believe me.” Chen Heng patted Sirin’s head and gestured in invitation to try if she wanted.

“I’ll give it a try, then. I don’t believe I can’t remove it.” Sirin’s temper flared up. I am the Herrscher of the Void. How can I be unable to handle a small ring?

Sirin tried shifting her index finger into the void to remove the ring. However, she found that the ring remained on her even when her index finger entered the void.

Using brute force didn’t work, either. Chen Heng even provided scissors and pliers, but she found that these items did not do any damage to the ring.

“Elder Brother, Elder Brother, I really like this ring. However, can’t you shift it to another finger?” Since force did not work, Sirin resorted to a psychological attack.

“Acting spoiled is useless. Actually, you can shift it to another finger. How about the thumb?”

“Never mind, never mind. Won’t wearing a ring on the thumb make it a thumb ring instead? It would look strange. Let’s leave it like this first.” Sirin shook her head, rejecting the idea of wearing it on her thumb.

Sirin had already given up.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

“Alright, alright. Now that you have eaten and completed your preparations, how about continuing to absorb Honkai Energy? We have a Honkai reactor above us.”

Chen Heng did not mind Sirin becoming the Herrscher of the Void. In reality, he hoped she could gain the strength to protect herself. Although Honkai Energy had adverse effects on the mind if one absorbed too much of it, he trusted the item his ancestor gave him.

Furthermore, once one joined the Dimension Administrators Association, even the world consciousness could not silently alter the mind and personality of an association member. It could be said that the Dimension Administrators Association provided immunity to mind control, practically a cheat.

After all, if a member got controlled, wouldn’t it be like their accounts being hacked? The association did not want such a thing to happen.

“Let’s wait for a while, then. We will wait until tonight before absorbing Honkai Energy. The newly arrived Valkyries are quite strong. Speaking of which, the Honkai reactor was already practically drained yesterday; it is empty now. By the way, Elder Brother, you don’t mind that I killed all the people in the laboratory, right?” Sirin’s voice faded to a whisper as she spoke, as she could clearly tell from her interactions with her elder brother that he was a good person.

“The thing that people used to describe a pufferfish inflating?” Sirin recalled this. Of course, it was not because of the words but because the pufferfish was delicious.

Sirin absorbed Honkai Energy as she spoke to Chen Heng.

Upon seeing Sirin’s forgetfulness, Chen Heng decided to let her experience a few setbacks. Otherwise, who knew when he could correct her habit of letting her ego inflate?

Chen Heng could protect Sirin from any mistakes she made in this world. However, when they returned to his world, he could not...actually, after some thought, he could do that there too.

“That’s enough, Miss Criminal and Mister Researcher.” A well-endowed woman suddenly appeared behind Chen Heng and Sirin.

Chen Heng had noticed this person long ago. However, he did not point her out so that Sirin could learn a lesson.

“You...”

“Sirin, you have to remember what Elder Brother is saying now. As a villain, you need to learn to cut down on bragging and evil monologues. Just go ahead and attack.”

Sirin was about to launch into an evil monologue, but Chen Heng stopped her. At the same time, he imparted some basic knowledge on how to be a successful villain.

“Oh! Got it, Elder Brother.” Sirin obeyed Chen Heng, directly attacking. She used her spatial ability to twist the space next to Patricia.

“Sirin, that Valkyrie is going to jump back. After that, she will toss a hand grenade. Be careful; the blast is quite strong.”

Chen Heng hid in the distance and used his Absolute Precognition to provide directions to Sirin for facing the Valkyrie. However, he did not take any personal action. He did this to construct an image of himself as having a special ability but being powerless to intervene.

Although this world had two association members—Chen Heng and Fu Hua—making the distant future of this world blurry, he could still clearly see the near future.
