The Herrscher couldn't believe what she was seeing, as the man who she killed earlier is standing with a smile on his face.

"Yo, it's been a while!"

"Are you for real?"

"Yeah..." Shiro pointed his thumb to his left part of the chest only to see a scar formed at his skin. "It's fucking real." "I'm alive and kicking."

"How?" Hua then think of ways of how he was able to revive himself. "Did he fake his death afterwards? No! I definitely hit his vitals. And checked that his soul have already left his body."

That's when she realizes the different source of his power. It's already too obvious for that answer, yet she dumbly was figuring out for a few minutes.
"Honkai energy conversion?"

"Bingo!" Shiro said with a thumbs up then started explaining.

"When you pierced my important vitals earlier, i already noticed that i have no chances at winning against you. So i FINALLY gave up and let myself experience death."

"It was a gamble, as far as i know. But i am letting myself to bet on those odds... When i was at the brink of death, for one second i absorbed your Herrscher energy,  did a bit amplification and bam! There you have life energy."

"To be honest, I couldn't understand first at what's happening, and to come back from the dead, It is I the descendant of Gaia have achieved-"

Shiro continued to blabber as the Sentience narrowed her eyes. "This guy never shuts up."

But upon observing his manner of speech and actions, the herrscher finally understands what state he is in. "He's high."

"But i finally achieved what true power is all about, the pure essence of Honkai Energy."

"And that you're going to lose, because you left your guard down, the moment the confidence of your weapons managed to hit me!"

Me... lose?" Hua roared, losing her cool as hundreds of weapons manifested behind her. "This fight is just getting started!"

"Ah, is that so? Maybe... BUT SO WHAT?!!"

Shiro screamed losing all his marbles. And that was the moment Hua launched the first attack in of the second round.

The herrscher dashed forward as she launched those chains directed to Shiro.

Nevertheless the man leapt on top while his arm is limping due to his abnormal state.

While airborne as he dodged the binding chains. Subconsciously he clenched his right fist.

"Release!"

A majestic tachi made of pure, searing red flames materialized in his hand. With a single, vertical strike, he sliced through the 'unbreakable' chains as if they were gossamer threads.

​Clang!

​The shockwave sent Hua hurtling backward, slamming her into a stone pillar with enough force to shatter her spine. ​"Y-You!" she snarled, spitting black ichor.

"Don't you see... Hua?" Shiro let out a short chuckle as he had already lost his shit.

And now that she has awakened his other self... There is no chance for her to win, after all, the other has already full control over Shiro's conscious.

No, allow me to correct that. But right now, he is in full control of his alterego.

"All your acts... These... Murders."

Then gave a thumbs down. "And you still aren't based."

Then he walks back and stomped the ground which the Handcannon flew up and caught it with his left hand.
