Chapter 318 – Double Crit with True Damage!
🕑 Added 2025-09-14 16:31:43 +0000 UTC“Seele… Seele will entrust everything to you, Nagami-oniisan!”
Clenching her tiny fists, Seele’s timid yet determined voice echoed through the void.
“Mhm. Seele, you have to do your best too!”
———————————————————————
[Seele, you know what to do, don’t you?]
———————————————————————
A crisp voice whispered into both Seele’s ears at once.
The Silent Gem in her hand began to float, the Herrscher core stirring awake, releasing both black and white light in balance.
In that instant, the Quantum Sea erupted.
Energy waves burst outward in violent surges, crashing like a storm tide.
Seele closed her eyes, attuning herself to the resonance of her Stigmata.
With her other self’s guidance, she channeled the power into her body.
The Stigmata at her chest suddenly flared, burning bright with crimson light.
The next moment, a flood of dazzling radiance swallowed her small frame, shaking the entire space to its core.
Her quantum body began collapsing back toward reality, reshaping into a physical vessel once more.
In a flash, C.C. appeared at Seele’s side.
A crimson bird-shaped sigil burned across her forehead as her Code activated.
The storm of Honkai Will was split apart piece by piece, sealed away one after another—each turned into a loyal little “dog” wagging its tail at the green-haired woman.
A faithful dog always obeys its master.
This time, Nagami didn’t need to repeat the painstaking process of splitting Honkai energy into hundreds, even thousands of pieces like the first time.
He could suppress it all at once now—though for efficiency, he still broke it into a few convenient chunks.
If all went well, the Sixth Herrscher of the Current Era—the Herrscher of Death would be born right here in the Quantum Sea.
But Seele’s quantum state had not only cost her a physical body—it had also gifted her the strange powers of the Quantum Sea, bending reality to her will.
Everyone knew: the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea were twin gods, locked in eternal opposition.
“This is… the will of Quantum?”
The clash between Quantum and Imaginary energy surged inside her, drawing a pained expression across Seele’s face.
“You really picked the perfect time to show up!”
The world flickered into black-and-white static, like an old television screen.
A completely sealed consciousness space.
Nagami propped his chin on one hand, a six-pointed star glowing with violet light behind him, locking onto the will of Quantum.
Then he turned to glance at the Honkai Will beside him, its eyes brimming with love—and yes, even sprouting little pink heart marks.
“Code.”
The great will was instantly locked away, shoved into its own private cell. Nagami snapped his fingers. “Bite it!”
The shadow still carrying fragments of divine power lunged forward like an arrow.
What followed wasn’t even a battle—it was a slaughter.
The faithful little dog threw herself into the fight, clawing and biting with reckless abandon, fighting in a way that hurt both sides.
Yet even as she burned away, she caught sight of Nagami’s smile.
Satisfied, she vanished with no regrets.
Nagami only shrugged.
‘A loyal dog really is OP.’
Under the suicidal assault of Honkai’s “dog,” the will of Quantum was left weakened beyond repair.
A single Geass command finished the job, forcing it to follow the same fate—becoming another wagging tail, before being ordered to end itself.
And no, don’t get the wrong idea.
When he said “played with,” it was very professional!
Nagami merely studied the properties of Quantum power through this fragment of will.
Quantum force and Imaginary-born Honkai power weren’t mutually exclusive—they could fuse.
Simple proof? Quantum-type Honkai Beasts.
Creatures born from both forces, far stronger than their ordinary counterparts.
“Seele, follow my guidance—fuse both powers inside you!”
A violet six-pointed star array unfurled in the void, fueled by the Alpha Stigma Eyes.
The Honkai energy and Quantum force within Seele’s body were now entirely under her control.
“O-okay, Nagami-oniisan…”
The pain from the clashing energies slowly faded.
Seele could feel Nagami’s energy flowing into her, leaving her cheeks flushed pink as she endured the strange warmth flooding her body.
When Quantum and Honkai finally merged—
Light burst forth.
A brilliance so vast it illuminated the abyss of eternal night.
The Herrscher of Death was born.
Her attire bloomed around her like a—pure white dress, flowing down like a stream, adorned with black-core blossoms that opened and closed like mandalas of light.
“I… really pulled it off…”
Her voice was lazy, alluring.
Seele opened her eyes, now shimmering with a bewitching crimson glow.
The white gown instantly darkened, her mandala flowers turning pure white at their core.
White mandalas: purity, rebirth, salvation.
Black mandalas: darkness, terror, death.
In a way… nothing could suit Seele better.
This was the Herrscher of Death who wielded quantum power—the quantum-state twin flower beyond the shore.
Nagami thought, perhaps she could also be called the Herrscher of Life and Death.
Her fair, almost translucent skin was exposed, the lines of her shoulder blades accentuating the delicate curves of her figure.
Of course, the signature thigh ring was still there, framing her long, pale legs with that unmistakable “absolute territory,” and together with the pure, immaculate Herrscher armament, she looked impossibly alluring.
“Seele, are you alright? How do you feel?”
“Of course I’m fine. Seele feels wonderful! Nagami-nii gave Seele a brand-new life~”
The enchanting wraith floated gracefully like a fairy, one bare leg slipping out from under her skirt, gleaming like moonlight against the night sky.
Her delicate foot seemed to press directly on his heart.
Those fine, lace-clad hands—so elegant that one wanted to tear the gloves off just to hold them bare—curled around Nagami’s neck.
Gazing down at his stunned face, Seele leaned closer, lips brushing his ear, her voice dripping with a bewitching sweetness that could steal a man’s soul.
“So, to repay Nagami-nii’s kindness… Seele is willing to do anything for you~”
‘Hiss—!’
A shiver shot up Nagami’s spine, and he sucked in a sharp breath.
Honestly, his mind was spinning.
From the very beginning, he had to admit he’d harbored some less-than-pure intentions toward Seele.
But wasn’t this a bit too fast? This was their first meeting!
Perhaps sensing his hesitation, the playful smile on Veliona’s face softened into something genuine.
“Nagami-nii, do you know what it feels like to be sealed away in endless nothingness—where no sound reaches you, where even the passage of time cannot be felt?”
In that dead world, Seele could only listen to the lonely echo of her heartbeat, as though abandoned by everything, devoured piece by piece by the darkness.
The only sound left was the hollow thump of her heart—like the ticking of a countdown toward oblivion.
It was like plunging into the deepest abyss, stripped of all sense and meaning, imprisoned in despair, with loneliness clinging like a shadow.
Nagami met those ruby eyes and fell silent.
Rationally, he could imagine it. But unless one had truly experienced it, no one could ever understand that crushing despair.
He had pulled Seele out of that abyss, restored her to a body, and brought her back into the world.
And he had done so using a Herrscher Core that, in the eyes of mankind, was priceless beyond measure.
This wasn’t just some cliché “hero saves the beauty” story.
This was more like Jhin’s fourth shot with full build—an absolute crit, and worse, pure true damage!
And then there was the fact that the two Seele were twin souls sharing one body, each able to feel the other’s emotions.
That shared emotion intertwined, amplified, and doubled back into both hearts.
True damage ×2!
In this setup, Little Seele was like a fragile mid-lane mage—while Veliona was a pure, temptress-like succubus whose magic damage against the male psyche went straight through the roof… but without any defense items.
That kind of terrifying burst could easily one-shot Little Seele.
Of course, with Bronya around, White Seele might never openly display those complicated feelings for Nagami.
But for Veliona, it was different.
She didn’t have the same deep bond with Bronya.
All she inherited was the warmth White Seele passed on to her.
Nagami was the first man to truly step into her life—and he’d done it with a double-crit, true damage hit.
He wasn’t some useless harem protagonist; Nagami could more or less deduce Veliona’s current emotional state.
But… skipping all the way to the stomach in one go was way too risky.
Better to take it slow.
“For your part, there is something I’d like you to do for me.”
“What is it? No matter how embarrassing, Seele will give her all for Nagami-nii~”
———————————————————————
[A-another me! What are you saying?!]
———————————————————————
In the shared consciousness, White Seele let out a pitiful cry like a cornered animal, tears glimmering in her eyes.
But this time, her other self gave no answer.
Nagami gently stroked Veliona’s silky hair, a warm smile tugging at his lips.
“Even though you’re Seele’s other self, I still hope you’ll see yourself as a completely different Seele—someone who can live her own life, not just a fragment of another’s. You should work to create a future that truly belongs to you.”
The words left his mouth, and as he saw the rippling emotion reflected in those scarlet eyes, he suddenly froze.
Wait a sec.
‘Did I really just say that?!’
