Book 5: Chapter 31:2: Sirin: Elder Brother, You Are Looking Down on Herrschers (Sob), Part 2


    Welt exerted hisst bit of strength to activate the Star of Eden in his hand. Suddenly, a tiny ck dot appeared in the sky and gradually grew into a small, expanding ck hole. Then a powerful suction came from the ck hole.


    Because Welt held the Star of Eden, the suction did not significantly affect him. He turned his head to look at Chen Heng and Sirin and discovered they were coping even better than he was.


    Sirin looked at the ck hole above with curiosity. Although it looked terrifying, its suction did not work on her at all.


    Sirin looked at the contemtive Chen Heng and immediately understood what had happened. It would be strange if a ck hole’s attraction would work on Chen Heng, who had an attraction ability.


    Chen Heng contemted the faux ck hole and soon understood how to create it.


    <em>To create this faux ck hole, one has to choose a point and copse it with immense gravitational force or attraction force.</em>


    <em>First, let’s try breaking down this faux ck hole.</em>


    Chen Heng extended his right hand towards the ck hole overhead, clenched it, and used his gravity control ability to create an inverse gravity field at the center of the ck hole.


    Actually, Chen Heng’s gesture did nothing. He was just used to gesturing as a mental trigger.


    The faux ck hole was initially stable and growing stronger, but it destabilized when Chen Heng messed with it. As he continued putting in some effort, the ck hole scattered.


    However, the strange thing was that such a tremendousmotion did not affect anything outside the ck hole. Only the suction from the ck hole disappeared; no repulsive forces ensued.


    The main reason was that Chen Heng was on apletely different level from the imitation Star of Eden. That was why he could urately match the ck hole’s gravitational force.


    The imitation Star of Eden in Welt’s hand crackled and shattered.


    “Many thanks, Welt. I now understand how to make a faux ck hole. Furthermore, don’t even think of asking me forpensation. I know you made this imitation Star of Eden using the Herrscher of Reason’s ability.” Chen Heng looked at Welt warily, worried Welt would try extorting from him.


    “Don’t worry; I won’t. Also, how did you cause…how did you break down the faux ck hole?” Welt waved, disavowing any ns to demandpensation. He did not wish to die young from failing at extortion. Dying like that would be too embarrassing, right?


    “Let me show you. First, we need to create a ck hole…” Chen Heng raised his hand, using gravity to copse a point far from himself to create a powerful ck hole singrity. Then he released his control over it.


    The ck hole singrity immediately erged, instantly forming a ck hole over ten timesrger in diameter than the one Welt made. Welt could not resist the force, getting pulled over.


    Fortunately, the hand of Chen Heng’s attraction force holding Welt pulled him back. Like before, Chen Heng and Sirin were unaffected because of the attraction barrier.


    “Erm…sorry about that. I ced the ck hole farther away to prevent idents and even held back on power. Unexpectedly, it is still this powerful. However, it does not matter. We just have to create an inverse gravitational field at the center of this ck hole like this…and it scatters.”


    Right after Chen Heng spoke, the extremely horrifying, erging ck hole scattered without any wind. All the snow and trees pulled into the air by the ck hole fell back to the ground.


    “You… Are you the 9th Herrscher?” Welt asked incredulously.


    “Damn! Don’t nder me! I’m not some Herrscher.”


    “…Elder Brother, do you look down on Herrschers?” Chen Heng felt a tug on his sleeves. When he lowered his head, Sirin’s eyes were tearing up like she would cry at the slightest provocation.


    “Sirin, what’s wrong? Don’t cry. How am I looking down on Herrschers?” Chen Heng became flustered.


    “But your words just now were clearly contemptuous of Herrschers. I can even tell you are looking down on me. Do you disdain me?”


    Actually, Sirin was a childcking a sense of security. She had depended on her mother for survival, and when her mother died, she got sent to Babylon Labs. She had experienced hell here, and her friends’ passing away had a significant impact on her psyche.


    Otherwise, why would Sirin long for Cecilia after interacting with Cecilia for just a few short days in an illusion in the original storyline?


    [TL Note: Cecilia Schariac is Siegfried Kana’s wife and the mother of Kiana, who is the main character. She was an S-Ranked Valkyrie and Schicksal’s most powerful Valkyrie. In the <em>Second Eruption</em>, Sirin trapped Cecilia and Siegfried in an illusion where they became Sirin’s parents. Cecilia had seen through the illusion but yed along, trying to be a mother to Sirin because she saw Sirin’s pain. You can read more about Cecilia and her backstory here: /wiki/Cecilia_Schariac.]


    One reason was Sirin’s experiencing maternal love, which she hadcked for a long time, in those few days. Another reason was Cecilia’s hugging her in their final moments before they died in a nuclear bombardment by Schicksal.


    Now, Chen Heng had taken over Cecilia’s role. His treatment of Sirin was no less caring than Cecilia’s. Setting aside things like cultivation techniques or the Mental Defense Ring, he had satisfied her desires for clothes, food, games, and other basic needs.


    As Sirin embraced her newfound role as a Herrscher, she couldn’t help feeling conflicted over Chen Heng’s remarks. After all, it was he who had guided her to the colossal egg, the very catalyst of her Herrscher awakening. If he toyed with her like that, he would truly regret it.


    “Sirin, Sirin, calm down first. What I meant earlier was that I cannot be a Herrscher because I am the Chen n’sst descendant. If my bloodline changed because of turning into a Herrscher, my ancestor would y me alive. It is definitely not what you are thinking. Why would I disdain you?”


    Chen Heng’s words were the truth. Before he knew his ancestor was still alive, he had considered bing the Herrscher of Stars. After all, he felt it could strengthen his gravity ability. Of course, that thought urred to him when he had just awakened the gravity ability and was not strong yet.


    However, in the current situation, it was impossible for Chen Heng to be a Herrscher, never in his life. Bing a Herrscher would not only alter his body but also seemed like it would not contribute much to his strength. Hence, Chen Heng no longer cared for it.


    “Really? Elder Brother, you aren’t lying to me?”


    “My precious, demanding younger sister, just think. When have I ever lied to you?”


    “You already lied to me the first time we met, iming me to be your adopted younger sister.” It looked like Sirin still dwelled on this matter.


    “…That aside, there isn’t any other instance, right?” Chen Heng had indeed lied to Sirin in that matter. However, they had not known each other then. Who could have imagined their rtionship would improve as they lived with each other? That could not be helped.


    “That seems so.”
