You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

At this point, the dolls all pointed at Anna, giving her the illusion that she was being "pointed at by everyone."

Anna chuckled softly and said, "Did you really think that just because my Herrscher core is sealed, I have no fighting power?"

sound off.

Anna pushed off with her toes, and like an arrow released from a bow, she flew backward in an instant.

Seeing this, the dolls rushed to intercept her, seemingly to prevent Anna from escaping.

Anna lowered her eyelids, and a thin mist rose from her fingertips, which transformed into hard ice spikes as she waved her hand, shooting towards the dolls.

However, instead of dodging the ice spikes that could destroy them instantly, the puppets mocked and actively faced the ice spikes.

In an instant, a large number of ice spikes destroyed all the dolls along Anna's escape route.

Seeing these dolls die so easily, Anna was stunned for a moment and began to hesitate.

perhaps……

Can she kill all the puppets?

After killing all the puppets, we might be able to kill the "Herrscher of Domination".

After hesitating for a few seconds, Anna finally gave up the idea and chose to escape from the "Dominion Theater".

"whee……"

"You cannot escape the Dominion Theater!"

The dolls spoke in unison and quickly gathered around Anna.

Compared to before, the puppets were now moving much faster, as if their previous clumsiness was intentional.

—That is indeed the case.

After seizing Anna's Herrscher powers, the dolls no longer intended to hold back and instead prepared to quickly subdue Anna.

Now is not the time to kill Anna. The puppets need to use Anna as a "hostage" to force the other Herrschers to submit.

"You can't stop me!"

Anna gave a low, deep shout, her palms radiating frost. As she clenched her fist, a large amount of extreme ice suddenly erupted from the ground around her, instantly freezing all the dolls.

After finishing this task, Anna breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.

This attack utilized the Herrscher Core within her body, causing Kiana's "seal" to loosen considerably. With the help of the Herrscher Core's power twice more, Kiana's "seal" will completely shatter.

Anna did not believe that these fragile dolls could withstand the onslaught of the frost; as the polar ice shattered, these dolls would inevitably crumble along with it.

However, after Anna left, the ice shattered as she had expected, but the dolls remained unharmed.

"No, no..."

"This power is too weak, not even comparable to a pseudo-law enforcer!"

"what on earth is it?!"

"I understand! This is a seal! In order to escape the corruption of the Herrscher core, Anna Schariac has chosen to temporarily seal the Herrscher core within her body!"

"That won't do! Such weak Herrscher powers are simply not enough. We must guide her to break the seal on her Herrscher core, and then... control her Herrscher powers!"

"Then... let's get started."

"To break free of the Domination Theater and return to the real world, she must unlock the seal on the Herrscher Core, and when she uses Herrscher powers, we will control those powers..."

The dolls murmured amongst themselves, then suddenly turned their heads to look in the direction Anna had fled.

The dolls' heads are turned at different angles, some ninety degrees, some one hundred and eighty degrees...

As long as the core remains intact, a doll will not die completely.

In addition, as a "dual-core Herrscher", the number of "Herrschers of Domination" is not limited to one thousand, but has a maximum limit of ten thousand!

The combination of the two powers produced a terrifying effect of "1+1=10".

Anna knew that the dolls were the Seventh Herrscher, the "Herrscher of Domination," but she was completely unaware that the "Herrscher of Domination" was not only the Seventh Herrscher, but also included the Eighth Herrscher.

At this moment, Anna believed she had gotten rid of the dolls, so she returned to the place she had been before and walked to the door of the baby supplies store.

Anna reached out and held the door of the baby store, took a few deep breaths, and then pushed the door open with anticipation.

The expected outcome did not occur.

The baby supplies store was deserted, the shelves were empty, and there were no products for sale.

Anna thought the baby store was the "door" to the Dominion Theater, but the truth proved her guess wrong.

"Hehe... I found you!"

"You wouldn't be thinking of leaving the Dominion Theater through this shop, would you?"

"You're clearly an S-rank Valkyrie, why are you so naive?"

“Didn’t we tell you? You can’t escape the Dominion Theater unless…”

"Are you willing to break the seal on the Herrscher core and then break through the Domination Theater with all your might?"

A doll appeared at the entrance of the baby supplies store, its joints creaking as it twisted, instantly pulling Anna back to reality from her despondency.

Chapter 343 The Power of Domination!

The frost extended along Anna's fingertips, eventually gathering into the shape of a rapier.

The next moment, Anna suddenly rushed towards the doll, and the frost blade instantly pierced through the doll's head, freezing it completely.

"strangeness……"

Anna frowned and instinctively gripped the Frostblade tighter.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that her Herrscher powers had weakened considerably. Even though condensing ice into blades wasn't difficult, she felt a little strained.

The doll never spoke again until its death, and even if it had, Anna wouldn't have believed it.

The puppet clearly doesn't want her to leave the Dominion Theater, yet it openly states the method for leaving, which must be malicious.

Anna looked around and, finding no other dolls, squatted down next to one of them. She then changed the shape of the frost sword in her hand into a short frost blade, making it easier for her to cut the doll's body.

After dismembering the doll, Anna discovered some clues.

As a Herrscher, she is very sensitive to Honkai energy. She not only discovered that the doll was powered by Honkai energy, but also that the doll had considerable "resistance" to frost.

The doll appeared to be frozen, but there was no damage inside its body. If the frost sword hadn't pierced through the doll's head, the doll might not have died.

Anna frowned, sensing that the situation was becoming increasingly strange.

Putting aside the fact that her Herrscher powers have weakened considerably, the fact that these dolls suddenly possessed resistance to freezing was enough to make her deeply suspicious.

Is this the source of the dolls' confidence in claiming they can deal with her?

Anna was completely baffled.

Before she could continue thinking, the creaking sound of the puppet's joints twisting suddenly rang out around her.

Anna instantly became alert, her frost dagger transforming back into a frost sword, and she quickly hid inside a nearby building, silently observing the situation outside.

however……

Suddenly, a creaking sound of joints twisting came from behind Anna.

Hi! Were you looking for me?

The doll's mocking voice rang in Anna's ears.

Anna's pupils trembled for a moment, then she turned and slashed.

The frost-condensed blade splashed up icy mist, which then transformed into ice spikes that shot out.

In the blink of an eye, the doll standing behind Anna was cleaved in two by the frost blade, and then its body was pierced by ice spikes.

The puppet didn't scream; it simply made a mocking laugh as its "last words" before leaving the stage.

Anna's expression shifted between light and dark; she hadn't noticed the doll's presence until it made a commotion on its own.

If the doll takes the opportunity to attack her, she will have a hard time dodging its attack.

"Why are these dolls able to find me so easily? Is there something I've overlooked?"

Anna frowned in thought, then left the building without hesitation, quickly changing her position to avoid being surrounded by the dolls.

Not long after, Anna was horrified to discover something—

He was unaware that he had somehow found himself surrounded by dolls.

If Anna hadn't impulsively chosen a high vantage point to observe her surroundings, she wouldn't have known she was already surrounded.

At the same time, the doll also realized that it had been exposed, and immediately stopped suppressing its movements and quickly approached Anna.

Anna bit her lip, her brows furrowed with hesitation, unsure whether to break the seal Kiana had placed on her.

If Kiana breaks the seal she set, she will have the power to deal with all the puppets and forcibly break the Domination Theater, but she will fall into the puppets' trap and be affected by the Herrscher Core again.

Even now, although Anna has adapted to the Herrscher core within her to a great extent, she is still unable to completely ignore its influence.

Seeing the dolls getting closer and closer to her, Anna knew she couldn't hesitate any longer and had to leave the Domination Theater as soon as possible to tell the Alliance about the Seventh Herrscher.

Even if it's just a temporary disruption of the Dominion Theater, that's enough for Anna to deliver a message.

"Fight!"

Anna gritted her teeth and immediately released the seal on the Herrscher core.

Endless frost converged into a cold wave, sweeping in all directions and instantly transforming the entire Dominion Theater into a world of ice and snow.

Upon seeing this, the puppets all let out strange laughter.

"That's right...that's right!"

"This is the true power of a Herrscher—the true Herrscher of Ice!"

The dolls were speaking in a language that Anna could not understand.

The cold wave continued to sweep across the land, plunging the dolls into the ice.

Anna selectively ignored the dolls' words, gathered all her power and authority, and used herself as a weapon to unleash a devastating blow.

Before breaking the seal on the Herrscher core, Anna might have considered the threat posed by the dolls, but after breaking the seal on the Herrscher core, Anna's only goal is to forcibly break through the Domination Theater.
