The surrounding environment began to change; the originally destroyed dormitory area transformed into a magnificent grand theater. This sudden change startled everyone present.
Nero noticed their astonished gazes, puffed out her chest a little proudly, and introduced, "This is my Golden Theater! My Absolute Imperial Zone!"
Nero slowly walked to the center of the Golden Theater, pointing the primordial fire in her hand directly at the Wart, exuding a chilling aura.
No matter how arrogant he was, the Wart realized that this was definitely not a place he could contend with, and he had to escape quickly.
However, no matter how he tried to use his abilities to escape, he couldn't unleash them. This space seemed to be devoid of any Honkai Energy.
"Hmph! In my Golden Theater, you still dare to try and escape!?"
Nero snorted in displeasure, spreading her arms as if to embrace the Golden Theater, and with a proud expression, she shouted,
"After this theater opened, many first-time guests left midway! To prevent this from happening again, I sealed all entrances and exits during the second performance! Until the curtain falls! No one can leave!"
"Now! Kneel before me! You rude fellow!"
Aestus Domus Aurea, this was a grand magic similar to a Reality Marble that only Nero could achieve, an Absolute Imperial Zone that fulfilled her wishes.
Nero's wish within this theater was for the opponent to kneel, and this wish was naturally very easy to fulfill!
"You!!!"
Even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't control himself. Only his arrogance continued to fight against this uncontrollable force, and in the end, he only knelt on one knee.
"Umu! You still have the ability to defy my command! I already said, kneel before me!"
Following Nero's declaration, the opponent still couldn't control himself and knelt on both knees. Feeling humiliated, he glared at Nero with a face full of anger.
He was the First Herrscher, yet he was kneeling before someone else like this! He was a messenger of God! She would definitely make this person pay!
"Umu! You still dare to look at me with such eyes! This is my Golden Theater, my Absolute Imperial Zone. As the Roman Emperor, my wishes can naturally be fulfilled. Now, lower your head!"
It was a very simple command, but this command made the opponent's head forcefully smash into the ground, breaking his head and shedding a lot of blood.
Even though he bled a lot, he didn't lose consciousness, trembling as he knelt on the ground, accepting all of this in humiliation.
"Alright, the side show is over. Although I am very displeased to have such a person enter my theater. You should know that this is the palace where the master and I have our dates, or even get married."
Suppressing the urge to use primordial fire to chop off the opponent's head, Nero turned her gaze back to the Third Herrscher.
At this moment, the Third Herrscher didn't know what to say. With this ability to create a world out of nothing, was she a god?
"See? This is my proud theater, and it's also a power that can only be wielded with the master's help. How about it, isn't it amazing?"
"master... Excuse me, is the master you speak of the Divine One?"
By now, the Third Herrscher understood that Nero was stronger than herself. Even without the heart bomb, she was no match for Nero.
So, she decided to act docile. That way, Nero probably wouldn't bother her, right? She probably wouldn't make her kneel, right?
"The Divine One? I don't know! I only know she is the master! My most beloved master! Although I am surprised by the master's existence, no matter what the master becomes, my love will not change!"
I know you love the master most, but that's not what I'm asking, okay?
The Third Herrscher suppressed the urge to flip a table, took a few deep breaths, and after Nero returned from her own thoughts, asked again,
"Um... after we met last time in Changkong City, you haven't appeared since. Is the master you speak of the form you had before you transformed then?"
The Third Herrscher still clearly remembered that the one she fought in Changkong City at that time was Inaba Tsukiyo.
Later, when she increased her Honkai Energy, Inaba Tsukiyo called out Nero.
In other words, Inaba Tsukiyo is the master Nero speaks of, and this power was bestowed upon her by Inaba Tsukiyo. Does this mean Inaba Tsukiyo is the Divine One?
Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in the Third Herrscher's eyes.
She hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now that she thought about it carefully, Inaba Tsukiyo did have something strange about her.
Normal Honkai Beasts wouldn't show hostility towards Inaba Tsukiyo; when she first arrived in this world, the Honkai Beasts' attacks were only because their power hadn't fully manifested.
When she was hiding inside Raiden Mei, she observed Inaba Tsukiyo and realized that Inaba Tsukiyo was just an ordinary human, yet she was also different from ordinary humans.
Moreover, she also had a feeling that she and Inaba Tsukiyo had some kind of connection, a connection as if she had met some important being, her god.
"Umu? How did it suddenly turn out like this? Did you come to my theater, wanting to hear my singing? Very well, I shall fulfill your wishes."
Nero thought the Third Herrscher wanted to hear her sing and happily responded to her 'request.' Just as she was about to showcase her voice, she was suddenly choked by something.
"What's wrong? master. Eh? You won't allow me to sing? What's going on? Do you think my singing isn't good, master?"
Like a pouting child, Nero puffed out her small mouth and complained a little.
No one was speaking to her, yet she seemed to be conversing with someone, leaving Raiden Mei and Kiana bewildered.
At this moment, Kiana, who had finally reacted, scurried over to Raiden Mei and checked her condition.
"Eh? master, you don't want others to hear my singing? You want to enjoy it all by yourself? Hehehe (#^.^#)~ What a willful request, master."
Nero shyly cupped her cheeks, like a bashful maiden, completely lacking her former imperial demeanor, which left the Third Herrscher bewildered.
However, Nero's shyness came and went quickly. Perhaps realizing there were others present and she couldn't lose face as an emperor, she coughed a few times and suppressed her joyful emotions.
"I thought you were much stronger, but it turns out you're just an enemy of this caliber. You... commit suicide."
"You... bastard!!!"
Under a roar filled with resentment, this pathetic fellow suddenly opened his eyes, then coughed up a large amount of blood.
He stared at Nero with unwilling eyes, his body collapsing to the ground, consciousness gradually blurring. Because blood blocked his mouth, he couldn't make any sound.
After a long time, this fellow finally died from excessive blood loss.
Facing this fellow's death, Nero let out a disgusted snort, waved her hand, and the opponent's corpse vanished directly from the theater.
At the same time, Nero, Raiden Mei, and Kiana also returned to their original world, looking at the familiar scene before them, and slowly came back to their senses.
Having finished all this, Nero was also ready to leave. Staying here any longer would only prevent Inaba Tsukiyo from having a chance to return.
"Wait a minute! You, why are you here?"
Just as Nero was about to leave, Himeko, who hadn't appeared for a long time, rushed over. This drunkard finally realized that something was wrong.
Carrying a greatsword almost as big as herself, Himeko vigilantly watched Nero. She still clearly remembered that it was this person, along with the Third Herrscher, who almost destroyed the Hyperion.
"How rude! I helped you defeat the enemy. For you to treat me with such an attitude is truly disrespectful!"
If she hadn't known the other party's relationship with Inaba Tsukiyo, Nero would have long since attacked with the primordial fire instead of listening to her nonsense here.
"I am Nero Claudius, and I shall forgive your rudeness this time! Hmph!"
With that, golden light emanated from Nero's body, starting from her legs, and gradually disappearing.
"Wait... please wait! Lord God, is it her after all?"
Seeing Nero about to leave, the Third Herrscher quickly called out to Nero and asked.
"Umu? That you will have to observe with your own eyes! Regarding this matter, I know nothing and will say nothing! Hahahahaha!!!"
Nero's figure completely vanished into thin air, leaving only Kiana, the Third Herrscher, and Himeko in the destroyed dormitory building.
Himeko couldn't quite understand what was going on with Nero, but after hearing Nero's name, she vaguely felt as if she had met some important person.
Meanwhile, across from the destroyed dormitory building, Inaba Tsukiyo was leaning against a wall.
After Nero disappeared, she reappeared here so as not to expose herself.
"Thank you for your hard work, Nero. For now, please get some good rest. I will fulfill what I promised you."
The ring flashed a few times, as if responding to Inaba Tsukiyo's words, then fell silent.
"Sister Tsukiyo, was Miss Nero just now really the legendary Roman Tyrant?"
Seele, who had been a spectator the whole time, couldn't help but ask after Nero left.
This was the Roman Tyrant! Seele hadn't expected to actually see such a famous person, and she seemed to have a very good relationship with Inaba Tsukiyo.
"Yes, she is the person you're thinking of. The Roman Tyrant, but from another world, that is."
She didn't know what kind of person the Nero of this world was, but this Nero was indeed the one Seele knew, just different from the one in this world.
Seele nodded. She had already learned most of the knowledge about parallel world theory from Victorica.
She had been reading in Victorica's library recently, and she had also read books on parallel world theory.
Of course, most of what she read were books about Magical Girls and other subjects. Seele found herself falling in love with reading lately.
"Let's go, come with me to do something. Otherwise, there'll be no reason to go back."
"Yes~"
