You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

"..."

Qiu Bi remained silent, and did not resist Shigure Kira's behavior.

The two had long been completely open with each other, discussing not only the skin on the lower abdomen but also more private and intimate areas on numerous occasions.

Seemingly realizing that her actions were very bold, Shigure Kira's pretty face flushed slightly, and she selectively ignored Eden and Sirin's gazes.

Not long after, Maria snapped the neck of the last doll and let out a long breath.

The spear that Sirin had constructed had broken, with only a small section remaining in Maria's hand.

Maria stepped over the corpses of the dolls and slowly walked up to Qiu Bi.

"Brother-in-law, I've taken care of those annoying dolls..."

Before she could finish speaking, Maria lost consciousness and collapsed toward Qiu Bi.

Shigure Kira quickly grabbed Maria's shoulder to prevent her from falling to the ground.

Then, Qiu Bi carried the unconscious Maria on his back again, while Shigure Kira walked in front as before.

In contrast, Celine strolled hand in hand with Eden behind Qiu Bi.

……

In the subsequent Broken Corridor, Qiu Bi and the others encountered many more dolls, but they were all dealt with by Shi Yu Qi Luo, Xi Lin, and Eden working together.

With Maria's example, Shigure Kira became much faster at dealing with the puppets, and often used them to help her defend against unavoidable attacks, just like Maria did.

However, Shigure Kira cannot be as relaxed and carefree as Maria, and occasionally she will fail to dodge or make mistakes.

Although she wasn't seriously injured, Shigure Kira's clothes were tattered.

The group continued through about eight sections of broken corridors before finally approaching the enormous theater.

Chubi entrusted Maria to Eden, asking Eden to take care of her.

"Qiu Bi, are you really going to do this?"

Shi Yu Qiluo lifted Qiu Bi's clothes and held them tightly, her expression full of worry.

Qiu Bi took Shigure Kira's hand in return and gently comforted her, "Don't worry. I'll be fine. If necessary, I can choose a new Herrscher power. Even if it's just to be used as a disposable item, it will be enough for me to escape."

Hearing Qiu Bi say this, Shi Yu Qi Luo could only suppress her inner worries.

Immediately, she tiptoed and offered a kiss.

Qiu Bi took the opportunity to hug Shi Yu Qi Luo tightly until her breathing became somewhat rapid, then he released her.

Seeing Shi Yu Qiluo's flushed face and panting heavily, Qiu Bi chuckled and pinched the tip of her nose before stepping into the portal in front of him.

Chapter 365 Intentionally Allowed to Be Captured

Qiu Bi thought he would have to go through several more broken corridors before he could reach the theater, but this turned out to be the last broken corridor, which led directly to the theater's main entrance.

"Is this the final corridor...?"

Qiu Bi murmured to himself, then looked around at the scene.

The shadows covered most of the area, and there were many shadowy figures inside, clearly indicating the presence of numerous puppets.

The puppets observed for a long time but did not see Shigure Kira and the others walk out of the portal. Although they were puzzled, they still stepped out of the shadows and surrounded Qiu Bi.

"Are you walking right into a trap?"

"Or……"

"Were you used as a pawn to scout ahead?"

The dolls had seen it clearly in the previous melee. Qiu Bi seemed to have come with Shigure Kira and the others, but he had been doing hard labor along the way, carrying Maria on his back.

Therefore, the dolls naturally assumed that Qiu Bi was being treated as a "discarded pawn," since the Herrscher couldn't exert any power in the theater of domination.

Qiu Bi did not respond, but instead unleashed a scorching wave of flames in an attempt to kill the puppets at the front.

Unfortunately, the puppets had already taken away Agatha's Herrscher powers, so Qiu Bi's attack not only failed to harm the puppets, but also caused his own Herrscher powers to be taken away by the puppets.

"Hee hee hee……"

"Useless efforts, a stubborn resistance..."

The dolls' bodies were twisted into bizarre angles, mercilessly mocking the puppets.

Qiu Bi remained calm, completely unaffected by the puppets' words.

This move, however, put us in an awkward position, leaving us in a dilemma.

Continuing to mock Qiu Bi is pointless, while questioning him seems like getting impatient...

After much deliberation, the puppets decided to attack Qiu Bi directly, hoping to lure him into launching an attack.

In any case, Herrschers don't die easily. Even if they are on the verge of death, there is a high chance that they will eventually heal themselves.

However, just as the puppets made their decision, Qiu Bi launched an attack first, his sharp and swift wind blades instantly tearing apart the bodies of several puppets.

In contrast, Qiu Bi's "Herrscher of Wind" power was instantly controlled and could no longer be used.

The sudden turn of events left the puppets somewhat stunned, until the exquisitely crafted birdcage finally took shape, bringing them back to their senses.

Then, their laughter grew louder and more shrill, and they quickly pushed Qiu Bi into the theater, fearing that Shi Yu Qi Luo and the others would suddenly rush into the broken corridor, smash the birdcage, and rescue Qiu Bi.

Fortunately, Shigure Kira and the others did not appear until the dolls sent Qiu Bi into that dark space.

Just as the dolls were preparing to disperse and continue producing more dolls to deal with the arrival of Shigure Kira and the others, Shigure Kira, Sirin, Eden, and the unconscious Maria emerged from the portal and appeared before the dolls.

"Oh! So you're all here? Judging from your appearance, you must have already captured Qiu Bi, right?"

"Heh heh heh... He's just your 'discarded pawn,' only slightly stronger than an ordinary person in the Theater of Domination. So what if we capture him?"

The dolls mocked and retorted to Shigure Kira.

Shi Yu Qi Luo smiled sweetly, but her words were extremely cold.

"It doesn't really matter, but... you can't possibly survive any longer. I will—kill you all!"

Before she finished speaking, the musical notes fluttering around Shigure Kira quickly attached themselves to the short blade of the musical note, turning it into a strangely shaped pair of scissors.

Then, Shigure Kira poured Honkai energy into the scissors without reservation, making them as tall as a person.

"This is the first 'gift' Qiu Bi gave me, and I haven't used it in a long time."

Shigure Kira gripped the scissors and expertly placed them behind her back.

This is Gwen's full set of abilities as "Gwen the Spirit Doll".

After being granted this ability by Qiu Bi, Shi Yu Qi Luo even went so far as to style her hair into spiral twin tails and cosplay as a Ling Luo doll, giving Qiu Bi a unique sensory experience.

However, since the simultaneous outbreak of numerous collapse events around the world, Shigure Kira has reverted to her original hairstyle and rarely uses this ability.

Now that she is about to face the true form of the "Herrscher of Erosion" and needs to find the place where the "Herrscher of Domination" is imprisoning the Herrschers as soon as possible, it is no longer appropriate for Shigure Kira to continue to hide her talents.

"Now... let's cause a huge scene!"

Shiyu Qiluo bowed slightly, as if carrying a giant pair of scissors on her back, and then rushed out like an arrow released from a bow.

At the same time, Sirin's arrows were also fired.

The jet-black arrow shot into the sky, and at its highest point, it suddenly exploded, splitting into dozens of smaller arrows.

These arrows were not as accurate as those fired by Sirin alone, but they had a wide coverage area, making them suitable as a means of cover.

At the same time, Eden snapped his fingers, and a gravitational field enveloped the dolls, slowing their movement.

Zhi——!

The energy of the black lightning suddenly burst forth, then coalesced into a fist-sized black sphere, and in the next second, dozens of black beams of light shot out, piercing the doll's body with pinpoint accuracy.

……

Meanwhile, in a pitch-black, boundless space.

Two exquisite birdcages emitted a dim light, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Walter leaned against the birdcage, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

Anna sat inside the birdcage, her arms wrapped around her legs, her face buried between them, her shoulders trembling slightly as if she were crying silently, but in reality she was enduring the corrosive effects of Honkai energy.

A moment later, a birdcage suddenly appeared next to Anna's birdcage, immediately attracting their attention.

Anna and Walter both looked on in astonishment as they saw Qiu Bi's calm expression.

"Mr. Qiu Bi, what's wrong with you...?"

"I voluntarily allowed the 'Herrscher of Domination' to wield my Herrscher powers precisely so that I could come here."

Qiu Bi curiously surveyed the dark space, and continued, "More importantly—Walter, why are you here?"

"This matter is a bit complicated..."

Walter pushed up his glasses, unsure whether he should tell Qiu Bi about Maria.

Seeing Walter's hesitant appearance, Qiu Bi, combining the information he already had, guessed what was causing Walter's hesitation.

"...The Herrscher of Domination attacks you, instigates Maria to attack you, and then seizes control of your Herrscher powers?"

"Mr. Qiu Bi, how do you know about this?"

"Maria was forcibly controlled by the 'Herrscher of Domination' using the Herrscher of Knowledge's powers, but in the end, I helped Maria break free from the 'Herrscher of Domination's' control."

Subsequently, Qiu Bi explained the special nature of the "Herrscher of Domination" to Welt and Anna.

Upon hearing that the "Herrscher of Domination" was a dual-core Herrscher from the very beginning of her arrival, even Welt was once again taken aback.

Chapter 366 The Herrscher of Meteorite Ice

Walter paused for a moment in surprise, then asked curiously, "Mr. Qiu Bi, why did you risk being captured by the 'Herrscher of Domination'?"

"I came here for Anna, but I didn't expect to see you here too."

At this point, Qiu Bi sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Anna stared blankly at Qiu Bi, seemingly lost in thought.

You came for me?
