Ultrawoman Elea / The Light In The Collapsing World

Episode 13-9: The Second Eruption

"So, how do you like it, First Herrscher? You just witnessed the true might of Honkai-Killer. Humanity is doomed."

Sirin's mocking and deriding words only made Welt's anger boil, a reaction she wanted to see.

She continued to provoke him, gloating over the demonstration of the Honkai-Killer's power and the bioweapon threat to humanity.

Welt's silence and the devastating destruction showed the Honkai-Killer as the ultimate means to force him to accept defeat and surrender to her.

"No words mean you gave up. Bow before me, traitor."

"Lick the ground. Grind your head on the ground and beg for my mercy, and I shall forgive you for all the grief you have caused me..."

She then offered him a final chance to yield from his Will of Honkai defector and join her side with her unreasonable terms and conditions.

Sirin's threatening and intimidating presence towered over Welt, her mockingly seductive smile indicating her disdain for him.

She knew the power she held over his head, yet she chose to make his life even more difficult.

"Promise that you'll never, ever betray me. And I'll consider letting you live as my slaves..."

She continued to taunt him, dangling the prospect of life in front of him, conditional to his full submission to her and her will.

A pause of silence occurred before Welt decided to enact a subtle smile.

"I am disappointed."

Welt's calm voice struck like a blade amid the silence, delivering a direct and deadly response toward Sirin.

The sudden change in mood took aback Sirin, her expression changing from contempt and arrogance to shock and surprise.

Welt's smile carried a trace of amusement, but he was still aware of the situation and knew he was in no position to win.

He wanted to praise Sirin for her ability to stop his atomic missile, which he thought would have caused a tremendous amount of destruction on the land, but she had prevented such a catastrophe from ever happening.

"I thought you might have learned something after your previous defeat. I was stunned when you managed to destroy my atomic missile, which you inadvertently saved the landmass from leaving a massive crater. Hmmh hmmh..."

Sirin expressed genuine confusion at his words, not understanding what he was talking about and thinking he was attempting to play some kind of trick on her.

"What are you talking about? Are you trying to play your tricks on me?"

She asked, her tone becoming defensive and her suspicion of his words growing.

He smiled even more, attempting to drive Sirin to the edge.

"Don't pretend you don't know. I saw you with my own eyes. A Second Herrscher, known for her dreadful heart, somehow decided to show her heroic act by risking herself to destroy the missile. Dare to explain what made you like that?"

Welt gazed at Sirin with a smile, countering her arrogant nature.

Sirin's face contorted into a look that was a mix of anger and denial, being appalled by his knowledge of her unconscious heroic act. 

Sirin was taken aback by the fact that he had discovered her moment of compassion and heroism after it had occurred, which left her confused.

Her arrogance and hubris were being challenged, and he demanded a truthful explanation, which she could not provide.
