Chapter 351: The Responsibility of the Big Villain

"Ana, I heard that the recent evaluation is very good. How is it? Can you adapt to this job?"

Seeing Bronya get up and walk out of the meeting room with a dazed look in her eyes, Kella turned to Ana and flashed a picturesque smile.

As an ultimate big villain with ideals and abilities, it is also Angel's responsibility to care about the feelings of capable subordinates in a timely manner.

Ana's excitement which she had been holding back since they met was about to burst out of her face. Hearing Kella's question, she immediately smiled brilliantly and nodded vigorously.

"Yeah! Whether it's training, tasks, or adjusting the relationship between teammates, I have done it very well! In this position, I have come into contact with many things that I had never thought of before, and I can feel that I become more powerful every day!"

"Oh, it seems that you are very satisfied?"

"Yeah! And the salary and benefits have also increased a lot, but it's a pity that there are too many things to do, and I don't have much time to spend. I don't know if there are any new and beautiful clothes or jewelry recently..." Ana scratched her head, and her smile faded.

Kella's smile gradually deepened.

The Schariac in front of her has potential. If she had not been chosen by the Honkai, she would have become one of the pillars of Schicksal with a little training and inherited the glory of Schariac.

Don't take the genius A-rank Valkyrie lightly. Rita was only A-rank at the age of 16. What's more, Rita's potential as an ordinary person had already reached its limit, and Ana had not really tapped the power of Schariac.

The girl who was captured to intercept the candidate of the Herrscher of Ice had for some reason become Cocolia's right-hand man, which could be regarded as picking up Mr. Otto's leek. Angel can use it with peace of mind.

"Why don't you ask for leave? To be honest, the Iron Pilot Column is always at the forefront and often entrusts you with the most dangerous tasks, so you may not be able to come back at any time. If you want to go back to the past occasionally as an ordinary girl and enjoy a simple life, I think Cocolia has no reason to refuse you."

"Uh... this, ahem, I dare not say."

Seemingly being poked at some sore spot, Ana awkwardly pointed with her finger, her eyes wandering.

Useful is useful, comedian is comedian. This girl is really interesting.

Kella smiled and shook her head.

"Are you afraid of her?"

"Not really. Lady Cocolia is very powerful, firm, fearless, and strategic. She can always see things that ordinary people like us can't see at all, just like the deeds of Archbishop Otto that we learned when we were young. Just knowing that she is still watching us makes us believe that we can definitely defeat the Honkai."

"Praising won't let her give you a raise."

"No! I'm sincere!"

Ana waved her hands quickly. There was a bit of anxiety in her clear and innocent big eyes, which could be seen through at a glance. With Angel's mind and scheming, she naturally understood Ana's sincerity as if she had completely seen through it.

Then Kella held her chin with one hand.

"Since you admire her so much and are not afraid of her, why don't you dare to ask her for leave?"

"Ahaha! This is mainly because when I first became the captain, I couldn't figure out many things, so I went to knock on the office door and the door of Lady Cocolia's house... Well, although she always patiently guided me, her expression when she saw me became more and more ugly. I always feel that if I knock on her door again without a legitimate reason, I will be hung up and spanked, right?" Ana laughed dryly and rubbed her hands embarrassedly.

Chen Tianwu drank a sip of tea silently, trying his best to play the role of an air without a sense of existence. It concerned the big leader and even involved private affairs. He dared not listen or speak.

He had been doing well in the East Shenzou Sea. Even the people of Saint Freya can praise him. It depends on three words: High emotional intelligence.

Kella glanced at him imperceptibly, then looked at Ana who was rubbing her hands and laughing dryly with a bit of kindness in her eyes.

"Next time, if you want to ask for leave, she will agree."

"Really?"

"The reason why we run so fast is that we won't need to run so much in the future. That's what Cocolia said. Her temper has been forced to develop over the years of licking blood from knife wounds, struggling all the way, but her heart has not changed. Just tell her that you want to go shopping for a skirt; maybe you can get some pocket money or something. Don't worry, I promise."

Kella encouraged, blinking, with a bit of cunning.

Ana touched her head blankly. After a long time, she laughed and nodded vigorously.

"Yeah!"

Then, Kella's eyes turned to Chen Tianwu again. Cocolia who is obsessed with new her daughter, can be abit unruly. Anyway, Chen Tianwu is not stupid, and he won't think too much. But as a supplement to Cocolia, Kella had to give a sincere look of appreciation.

"Chen Tianwu."

"Yes!"

"No need to be too reserved. Tianwen is Cocolia's daughter, and the relationship between me and Cocolia... With Rosalia's overly lively and cheerful personality, I must have told you a long time ago, right?"

Kella held her forehead and sighed, seeming to have a headache.

High EQ: lively and cheerful.

Medium EQ: can't control his mouth.

Low EQ: never thinks before speaking or doing things.

Chen Tianwu nodded empathetically, then reacted and quickly put on a polite poker face.

"Rosalia is still... very cute."

"Well, the EQ is good. No wonder she can not only manage the East Shenzou Sea Base but also get along well with Saint Freya."

"You are flattering."

"I told you not to be too reserved. You are also... well, at least half an adopted son?"

Kella tilted her head, with a suddenly confused expression.

Well, an adopted son who is older than Angel in this world. Still, this makes sense.

"Huh? If so, is the East Shenzou Sea base Leader is too close to relatives? Will there be any problems?"

"No, Lord Kella. I agree with what Lord Cocolia said. The Honkai is approaching step by step. We no longer have the room to prepare calmly. At this moment, we must let the right people do the right things. The most important thing is to accumulate enough power before the crisis comes. Other trivial matters are irrelevant."

Chen Tianwu said seriously, and the persistent young man's eyes were a bit pious.

He had personally experienced the threat of Honkai.

Even though he was saved by the Iron Pilot Column, he was still plagued by Honkai disease and tortured for a long time. If Cocolia had not obtained the serum as planned, it would be hard to say whether he would still exist now.

In addition, there was his sister, Chen Tianwen, who almost died. Chen Tianwu would never allow her to be threatened like that again.

After this experience, Chen Tianwu has become one of the most conscious warriors. He is naturally loyal to Cocolia and Kella who are the saviors of the brother and sister and advocate the fight against the Honkai.

-------

Chapter 352: I Can't Feel Sad at All

Kelra looked straight into Chen Tianwu’s resolute eyes and was very satisfied.

Unlike Ana who 'changed jobs' without knowing why and took a long time to confirm that she could be trusted, Chen Tianwu was destined to be a die-hard fan of Cocolia from the beginning. An absolute one of her own at that.

After a long pause, Kella smiled and nodded, speaking with both melancholy and hope.

"Try hard. Cocolia’s words also apply to you, but we have failed. Even if we try harder and run faster, we still can’t let children like you live a safe and ordinary life... I hope you don’t fail. At least, don’t let Rosalia, Lilia, Tianwen, and others repeat our experience again."

"Yes! For a future without Honkai, I will do my best!"

"You don’t have to fight so hard. Don’t we still have us in front? When we can’t stand it anymore, you can still fight again. Like Ana, if you want to take a break occasionally or want to go to North America to see Tianwen and others, you can ask Cocolia for an application. She won’t refuse."

"How could I be so embarrassed?"

Chen Tianwu scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

When he mentioned his sister, he appeared a bit like a 17-year-old boy, not a serious person in a high position.

At the same time, the estrangement caused by less time together were to dissolve instantly. The rest of the time was nothing more than listening to Ana chattering about her feelings and thoughts.

Mostly, she expressed her admiration for Kella.

This wasn’t emotional intelligence, nor was it flattery.

Ana truly regarded Kella’s seriousness, responsibility, efficiency, and professionalism while in the Iron Pilot Column as a role model and worked hard to do things well. Even her girlish side had been neglected for a long time. She was the most endearing kind of doer.

Chen Tianwu occasionally interjected a few words, mainly mentioning some recent developments of the East Shenzou Sea Base and asking about some decisions he was undecided about.

After ensuring that the emotions of the two Herrscher-like generals were sorted out—in fact, there was nothing to sort out. One was an optimistic and hardworking silly girl, and the other was a sister-con who would go all the way for her sister—there wouldn’t be any big problems.

In short, when Kella ended the conversation, it was already late at night.

'Bronya should be asleep, right?'

With maternal love, friendship, and a little bit of desire for her body, Kella passed by Bronya’s door.

“Bronya?”

As she had sensed, there was no response from the room, and it was completely empty.

Kella touched her chin, thought for a while, then walked to a scenic hall overlooking the sea, based on the information shared by the BT bodies.

Bronya sat by the French window, facing the rolling sea.

“Can’t sleep?”

“Kella…sama?”

Bronya moved her duckbill and finally chose the correct honorific.

After all, she hadn’t received Cocolia’s face-to-face recognition yet, so it seemed a bit inappropriate to call her dad or mom at this time. Bronya wasn’t as brainless as the sisters Rosalia and Lilia, so she still had some concerns.

"Are you thinking about giving up this position?"

"Yeah. Bronya, is she... ungrateful?"

Bronya hugged her knees. From Kella's perspective, she could see that the already round duck-shaped buttocks had a more rounded and full beautiful curve.

Kella folded her arms across her chest, leaning lazily against the wall.

"You really don't know what’s good for you. Do you know what this position means? You have risen to the top of Anti-Entropy and become Cocolia’s trusted general. With her current power, you can almost walk sideways in Anti-Entropy."

"... Bronya never thought of becoming such a person."

"I know, we all know."

"But fighting against Honkai is everyone’s business, and everyone around Bronya has paid a lot for it. It would be too cunning to run away alone." Bronya said with entanglement and self-blame.

It seems that Bronya has realized the problem of responsibility.

"If Bronya gives up halfway, will Mother Cocolia be disappointed?"

"Not really."

Kella spread her hands and smiled, washing away the heavy atmosphere from earlier.

Bronya blinked.

"Huh?"

"She asked you to come to this position because she believes you have the ability and also believes in your character as a daughter. I can take care of it even if you don’t do it. We didn’t expect you to take on such a heavy burden, so how can we say we are disappointed?"

"Isn’t the East Shenzou Sea Base... a heavy burden?"

"No. Ninti’s power, the leader’s power, and the entire Anti-Entropy military are worthy of the burden. The East Shenzou Sea Base now exists as the base of the Iron Pilot Column to facilitate the Iron Pilot Column to radiate the Eastern Hemisphere at any time. In terms of real importance, Ana is much higher than you, the commander. Do you understand?"

Kella looked at Bronya with a kind look.

As if to say: Silly child, why do you think so? You’re overestimating your own abilities!

"At least for now, the world is still ours. We will shoulder everything and drive out or subdue the Honkai. What we expect from you is to help us, but don’t suffer too much. When everything is over, you can hold your head high and say that you’ve also paid, rather than being a waste who has done nothing. That will be enough." Kella smiled.

Or, this is what Angel expects from everyone in Saint Freya.

'We have grown up and can withstand this disaster.'

'Then, let’s forget about the things that once made me red-eyed.'

'Everyone do what they can, and be safe and sound. It will be okay when I solve the biggest difficulty.'

In the real final battlefield, if anyone can really work hard and stand by Angel’s side, Angel will naturally be moved to hold her hand and, with her help, cross over together. But if no one can catch up, it’s not a bad thing. As the saying goes, waiting for you safely is what Angel expects from everyone.

……

‘Will I be too confident? What if I mess up?’

‘Then take the people you want to take and go to the Sea of Quanta.’

‘Speaking of the Sea of Quanta, the lucky few people Ninti dragged over at that time, it seems that there has been no news recently? Have they found a useful opportunity? Have they found a world to immigrate to?’

‘I don’t know. I haven’t heard anything. The last time I connected was the last time.’

‘Could it be that they’ve died?’

The Angels all touched their chins and discussed it indifferently.

Because considering the infinite breadth of the Sea of Quanta, if you want to encounter good things in this place, luck is far more important than all other factors.

So, the death squad that went to the Sea of Quanta at that time was chosen by RNG.

Hundreds of mobile phones, the same Gacha game with decent modeling, each person draws several ten-draws.

The ones who were finally selected were all European emperors who got gold or even double shots on the first shot.

Well, they are gone... The Angels don’t feel sad at all!

The African Angels, who were bad at doing things, thought calmly.

...

"If... if Bronya does this well, will it help everyone and the world?"

"Yes." Kella, who came back to her senses, nodded decisively.

So Bronya changed her emo posture of hugging her legs and stood up.

"Okay, Bronya understands. I’m sorry to have made Lord Kella run for nothing and made you worry. Bronya is going to rest and has to work tomorrow!"

"Have you decided? Only Cocolia and I know about your hesitation this time, and you haven’t worked for a long time, so you can still pretend that nothing happened. But once you decide, you really can’t change it casually. Anti-Entropy is not Cocolia’s toy, and it is impossible to tolerate your immaturity again and again."

In fact, it is possible, and she has the ability to tolerate it.

But even if Angel is biased, she knows there must be a limit.

There is no way to allow Bronya to treat an important position like this indefinitely.

"Yes! Bronya knows! Really, I have caused you a lot of trouble!" The petite and slender girl stood there, her bare white feet stepping on the cold floor, showing how upset she was when she came out.

Bronya bowed deeply to apologize, expressing her regret for this farce. Guilt and a sense of admitting mistakes.

Kella came forward, raised her hand, and patted Bronya’s head.

"Don’t do it again. If you want to be a deserter again, it’s the rules and disciplines that matter, and no one can help you. Go and have a rest, and have a good dream."

Chapter 353: Times Have Changed, Schicksal Has Changed

"Next, the weather forecast for Max City will be broadcast. Today, the city will be sunny, with a maximum temperature of 32°C and a minimum temperature of 27°C, with a southwest wind of 2-3. Please pay attention to heatstroke prevention during outdoor activities, drink plenty of water, and take breaks. If you experience symptoms of heatstroke, please seek shelter immediately..."

"It's so hot, it's so hot! Why is it so hot this year?"

At the local Anti-Entropy factory, department managers were inspecting the factory operations. Some were pulling at their collars while walking, trying to relieve the stuffiness of walking through the non-air-conditioned area.

"It gets hot every year, but this year, it came too early. They say the atmospheric circulation was disturbed by the previous war in the Mariana Islands. In short, this summer will be particularly long, and winter will be especially cold. Be prepared for disaster relief. You know our principles."

"Isn't [Red Queen] watching?"

"You need to be careful. Well, I’m thinking of drafting a disaster relief plan and submitting it once I’m back. Maybe I’ll get a reward."

"I really envy your youthful mentality. I just hope I won't get reported for any issues one day, and then have the law enforcement team knock on my door."

"If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry too much. At least so far, [Red Queen] has been fair and reliable, and there’s also Lord Cocolia watching."

The group chatted about the recent situation. After walking through the factory area, they saw the return tram at the door.

"I have to say, compared to the previous high-rank bases that responded but didn’t really act, they’re much stronger now. I remember that the suggestion to provide return tools to improve efficiency was submitted yesterday, right?"

"Stop talking so much. If you have something to say, tell me when we get back. It's too hot outside. Come on... Hey, wait a minute, why is it suddenly so cold? This place shouldn't have air conditioning..."

Click!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of machinery running vibrated slightly through the ground beneath their feet.

"It’s the Titan Corps!"

"Why would the Titan Corps stationed at the base be dispatched? And even fighter jets?"

"Snow, it's snowing! How is this possible?"

"Red Queen? Red Queen, what happened?!"

The answer came not from the car’s response system or the factory’s speakers, but from the blaring siren that echoed throughout the base.

Beep—

The highest-rank alarm, a sound etched in the hearts of all Anti-Entropy personnel working here. It meant that the Honkai had occurred, and it was nearby—of the most dangerous kind, capable of destroying a city.

"Warning! Warning!"

"All combat personnel, report to your posts. The combat order will be issued in one minute. Please stay on the mission."

"Non-combat personnel, move to the nearest shelter or vehicle for protection and deployment."

"Warning! Warning..."

The Red Queen, or rather, the AI management system Angel repeated the order in a cold, loli-like voice.

There was a brief moment of silence, then the personnel who had trained for this situation moved quickly and in an orderly fashion.

Boom!

The mighty Titan army emerged from the underground, from the ground, the jungle, and the high-rise buildings, forming rows and rows. They gathered into a gray-black steel torrent, silently and heavily marching toward the urban circle.

In the sky, countless fighters, drones, floating weapons, and other technological creations filled the air, blocking out the sun as they rushed toward the city like a flood.

At the same time, the Anti-Entropy Base—or the entire city—was enveloped in an extremely cold air. Ice crystals formed everywhere, and thick snow blanketed everything.

…

"Sip~~"

At the distant edge of the sky, Otto took a sip of the black tea brewed by Amber, showing a leisurely, tranquil smile.

[Beacon] had been completely placed in the Cosmic Juggernaut, and the start of 0th power was imminent.

It wouldn’t be long, Otto knew. It wouldn’t be long before the last layer of fog was lifted and the end of the five-hundred-year journey became clear.

"Bang!"

"Mr. Otto, something bad has happened!"

It was rare to see Yae Sakura forcefully push open the door with impatience on her face.

Otto gave a gentle smile. "Take your time, don't rush. What happened, Sakura?"

"Eastern Europe... Eastern Europe has experienced a major Honkai reaction. In a very short period of time, the energy ranks have reached those comparable to the Herrscher of Thunder in Nagazora City."

"Ah, Herrscher."

Otto turned his head to look at the blue sky outside the window, his expression dull and uninterested.

He had already collected all the puzzle pieces, and now it was just a matter of following the predetermined steps.

At this moment, he truly wasn't interested in the Herrscher, Herrscher cores, or any related matters.

"Also, almost simultaneously, North America has experienced a similar Honkai reaction... Two Herrschers are about to be born!"

"What?"

Otto put down his teacup and sat up straighter.

This news was quite interesting.

It was an unprecedented situation. Even the six-core Sirin was still essentially just one Herrscher. Two Herrschers appearing at the same time was unprecedented, a first in several eras.

He leaned back again, picked up his teacup, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Two at once... quite novel."

However, he had dealt with Herrschers long enough to know they held no value in his plans. With only Delta under his command, he had no real interest in them.

"Mr. Otto, cheer up! Don't act like you've just played 'Kallen Fantasy' for three days straight and burned out, entering sage mode! The world is still waiting for you to save it!"

"Pfft!!! How do you know...?"

"'Kallen Fantasy'? Please, it's the Internet age. Even if you force the game company to change the settings, there are still things like 'Final Boss Yae Sakura Strategy Videos' you can search for."

"..."

Otto's eyes twitched, and he turned his head stiffly to look at Amber. On the lower half of her flawless little face, he noticed the corners of her mouth curl up slightly.

"Hey! Let's not talk about irrelevant things right now. The Herrscher issue cannot be taken lightly. Yae Sakura, listen to my orders!"

"Yes!"

"I order you to take three elite Valkyrie teams and rush to Eastern Europe immediately. I'll send Delta to support you. You must assess the situation there as soon as possible. After meeting with Delta, eliminate the Honkai threat in one fell swoop!"

"Yes! Shouldn't we inform Senior Durandal and Fu Hua? And what about North America...?" Yae Sakura asked hesitantly.

Otto shook his head. "North America is an Anti-Entropy issue. If they can't handle it, they’ll naturally ask for help. But forcing our intervention before that would cause problems. For now, don’t worry about it. Just like the Titan Corps won’t land in Eastern Europe unless we ask for help, there's an unspoken agreement. There’s no time. Other matters can be discussed later. Go to the rocket launch tower first. Amber will arrange for the Valkyrie team to set off immediately!"

"Yes!"

Under Otto's stern command, Yae Sakura saluted like a Valkyrie and quickly ran out.

"Huh~~"

Otto let out a sigh of relief, wiping cold sweat from his forehead.

He then turned and looked at his trusted secretary with a forced smile.

"Amber!"

"You didn’t say anything about eliminating the network traces."

"Huh?"

"You didn’t mention that Lady Sakura must be prohibited from accessing relevant information."

Amber spoke with an air of righteousness, her expression cold, without any hint of guilt.

Otto stared at her for a long time, but he had no way to deal with Amber. Not to mention, she now had the means to involve Yae Sakura to pressure the Archbishop, so he had no other option.

The corners of Amber's mouth twitched again.

"By the way, is everything alright, Lord Otto?"

"Hmm? What did you say?"

"The arrangements to suppress the Herrscher."

Amber's voice was cold but pleasant.

Otto caught the hint of concern for Yae Sakura in her tone.

He smiled contentedly, then took a sip of tea before speaking:

"Times are changing quickly, but my Schicksal remains unchanged. When I dealt with Joyce, I had to go in personally, and even finish things off with a fission bomb. When dealing with Silin, my only options were Cecilia, codenamed 'Herrscher Killer,' and my old friend, struggling to survive. It’s different now. It’s just a Herrscher. I have plenty of cards, and there’s nothing to worry about."

"It would be safer if Lord Durandal or Lady Fu Hua could be called back."

"But there’s no need. Durandal or Fu Hua must take care of K423, which is far more important than a mere Herrscher. As for my old friend... She never liked the pitiful and detestable Otto Apocalypse, so the little favor I have from her should be saved for when it’s truly needed. This is also a good opportunity to test what Delta has hidden, and to let Sakura get familiar with her new power."

"Yes."

Seeing that Otto had thought it through, Amber bowed respectfully before preparing to summon the Valkyrie team that would serve as support.

"Dinglingling~~"

At that moment, the Archbishop’s private phone suddenly vibrated on the table, emitting a pleasant ringtone.

"Hello, old friend, what’s so urgent that you’re contacting me suddenly... Ah? But I have... Okay, okay, but you’ll have to hurry, otherwise I can’t guarantee anything. Schicksal must also prioritize Europe's safety, don't you think?"

After hanging up, Otto still had a bright smile on his face. "Amber, the insurance you requested has arrived. Can you rest assured now?"

"Lord Otto? But didn’t you say we should save favors?"

"This isn’t about consuming favors, but lending them. The situation is different. Well, the Herrscher born from an old friend, hehe... this is something to watch!"

One of the two Herrschers born simultaneously, Delta's hidden agenda, and the Herrscher tied to Fu Hua... so many interesting things are coming together.

Now, even Otto who initially didn’t care had to sit up straight and closely follow the unfolding events.

------

Chapter 354: You Don't Understand It Either

"Finally, the last step..."

The Elysian Realm, Mobius Laboratory.

Dense mechanical tentacles extended various pieces of equipment and medicines, gathering around the white body in the center of the laboratory.

There was dead silence.

After a while, all the mechanical tentacles retracted into the floating seat and retreated with Mobius.

Then the metal cabin slowly closed, and liquid poured in, completely sealing the white body. This time, it was a highly sealed container that completely isolated even light and sound, eliminating any possible external interference—just like eliminating any possible horrible changes.

"Huh~~"

Mobius's forehead was covered with sweat from nervous concentration, but her pink tongue gently licked her lips, leaving them with a sweet, tempting sheen. Her eyes were filled with excitement.

Mobius relaxed; her snake-like waist softened, and her soft, boneless body leaned back.

Angel caught the petite, dangerous beauty the moment she shifted and handed her a cup of warm water.

"Little one, you really have ideas. Are you interested in joining the Mobius Institute?"

For the first time, Mobius extended an olive branch to Angel.

This was an honor few had received in either the past or present era. It also indirectly reflected her satisfaction and pride in this work.

Angel glanced at the new body she had not yet used, blinked, and replied,

"My pleasure, Dr. Mobius."

"Hahaha!"

Mobius laughed happily.

At the same time, Klein, who was waiting nearby, frowned with a strange expression.

"Doctor."

"What's wrong, my little Klein?"

"This new experimental subject makes me feel uneasy."

"Don't worry, your self-protection mechanism is working. This experimental subject is just a hair away from going out of control, so, of course, it will feel uncomfortable. How do you feel, Angel?" Mobius spoke without concern.

Angel hugged Mobius's soft body and wiped the sweat from her brow. "Unprecedented strength. This body surpasses anything I’ve created before."

To be honest, whether it was Ninti, the clone created by Chiyou, or the one created by Su, compared to the white jade body in front of her, they were all insignificant. It was like a black hole, pulling in every sense of Angel. And these senses gave her the same information—danger, extreme danger.

For Mobius, this description was a compliment.

"Hahaha! The foundation of Project Chimera is already in place. It just needs a fuse, and then... I can’t even predict what will happen next. Even if you are a Herrscher of Dominance, you might explode the moment you enter. What do you think? Do you dare to try?"

"Dare."

"Oh, so brave?"

Mobius glanced at Angel with ill intent, her Serpent-like eyes filled with strange charm, malice, and darkness.

"I trust Dr. Mobius."

Angel looked at Mobius with no change in her expression, speaking in an ordinary tone.

Mobius's dangerous smile gradually faded, replaced by deliberate indifference and arrogance.

"Hmph! I’ve done everything I can for you. You’d better not disappoint me with the power you rely on. If you hold me back..."

"Then I can only ask the doctor to help me again. In this world, only Dr. Mobius can help me reach that rank."

Angel smiled, her eyes soft.

Mobius was easy to understand.

She was a pure seeker.

As long as you set your goals in a direction that didn’t conflict with hers, and understood and supported her, she would become a more trustworthy partner than anyone else.

Moreover, the purer she was, the more unchangeable she would become once the strategy was completed.

It was very, very... worth looking forward to.

Angel looked at Mobius, and Mobius looked back.

Half a minute later, Mobius silently looked away and said lightly:

"Take a break, and then we’ll start the real Chimera experiment. I hope your power is as strong as your attitude."

"Yes, Doctor."

Mobius closed her eyes, silently resting and preparing to reset her state before Angel entered the experimental body.

Angel moved to the side and methodically began to stretch and move her limbs.

"One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four..."

The nth set of national middle school radio exercises.

It had no practical effect on her body but helped calm her mood.

After all, it was her own body and her own evolution. Angel’s excitement was just as high as Mobius’s.

So, the Flamechasers who arrived one by one saw the serious back of the little girl as she worked through her exercises.

"..." × N

Even a martial artist like Klein could sense the threat. With the strength of the Flamechasers, they could all feel the enormous danger Mobius had created.

They came for this.

Mobius had always been dangerous. It was normal for her laboratory to get messy, but this time, it was a bit exaggerated. The sleeping monster approaching Kevin had surpassed all the Flamechasers except Kevin, making it impossible to take lightly.

Most people thought Mobius had gone too far, and they were ready to step in and protect Angel and Klein during the battle.

What? Mobius?

She didn’t need protection. She wasn’t going to die anyway.

"An 234, gel 234... Elysia, Mobius~~"

The girl’s gymnastics routine gradually changed in rhythm, but it was still up and down, tender and soft, and very cute.

"We're done~~"

"Huh——"

Angel finished her exercises, turned her head, and looked at the crowd with an expressionless face.

"It's not dinner time yet."

"It’s not for dinner! Although I’m really looking forward to it... Little Angel, can you tell Sister Elysia what that is?" Elysia came over with a smile and pointed to the airtight iron can in the center.

Angel blinked blankly.

"Experimental subject."

"Uh... I know it's an experimental subject. Can you give me more details?"

"Chimera experimental subject. There’s too much I can’t explain in words, because Elysia can’t understand it with her IQ and knowledge." Angel looked at Elysia, a little embarrassed in her big eyes.

Super innocent, and super honest.

Elysia: "..."

In the back, some illiterate MANTISes pretended not to notice, while feeling fortunate they didn’t have the social phobia of Elysia.

Meanwhile, Mobius rested lazily with her eyes closed, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

---

Chapter 355: Who cares about you!?

Anyway, she gave a brief explanation.

At the same time, Klein, as the defender of the Elysian Realm, also stood on the side of Mobius and Angel.

The Flamechasers had nothing to say.

It’s just that since they arrived, they didn’t mean anything else. It’s just that Mobius is a person who can be trusted, but it’s really hard to feel completely at ease. It’s better to keep an eye on her.

So they all stood in the corner, indicating that they would not delay Angel’s business.

Except for Elysia, who was squatting in place and drawing circles. She wanted to wait for Angel to comfort her, hug her, and then get up naturally. But after waiting for a long time, she could only continue squatting there without moving.

"Hey, get out of my way, fat Elysia."

"... Mobius likes pink skirts."

"Hmm?"

"I have photos!"

Adhering to the touching sisterhood of "I can't be the only one who is embarrassed," Elysia reached into the deep gap in her chest, as if she were about to take out evidence.

Angel cast a curious look at the right time.

Mobius decisively reached out to stop Elysia's action.

"Ahem, isn’t this my dear Elysia? Why are you squatting here?"

"What Elysia? What am I to you?"

Elysia put her hand beside her ear, looking as if she couldn’t hear clearly, blinking her cunning eyes like a little fox about to succeed.

Veins popped out of Mobius’ forehead, and she put on a stiff smile.

"Of course, my good friend, Elysia!"

"Yeah! That’s right, it’s your best and cutest friend, Elysia~~"

Miss Pink Elf succeeded in relieving her embarrassment, so she smiled brightly, pulled Mobius' hand, and stood up. Then, while humming a happy tune, she skipped over to a crowded corner.

Angel looked directly at Elysia’s beautiful back, then shifted her gaze to Mobius.

"Doctor, pink skirt..."

"Pop!"

Mobius’ face darkened, and the mechanical tentacles knocked Angel’s head lightly.

"Dare to be distracted at a critical moment? Focus on me. If the experiment fails because of distraction, I will deal with you!"

"Yes, Doctor!"

Angel responded seriously. However, she couldn’t help but glance sideways at Elysia.

Elysia gave her a cute wink.

'Come to my room tonight, there’s something interesting~~'

'Okay!'

A tacit understanding was reached.

Angel shook her head and forgot her expectations and distractions for the time being. She took a deep breath and walked toward the iron can that exuded a dangerous atmosphere.

She stretched out her hand and sank her consciousness into it.

'Hiss——'

'So heavy!'

'An unprecedented feeling.'

'So strong, but also so weird!'

In the dark steel cabin, the body that had just acquired consciousness couldn’t help but show an uncomfortable expression.

Mobius had extracted almost all the powerful genes of the Honkai Beasts recorded by the previous era.

Angel added the materials that the current civilization could provide and even proposed the concept of stigma symbiosis, which the previous era had failed to achieve.

The essence of the two eras was combined, continuously optimized and reorganized, forming this body that, in theory, could not be more powerful in the current era.

Even with the characteristics of dominance, at this moment, it was actually stretched to its limits.

But this was just the beginning. Being strong was only the foundation of Project Chimera. The real Chimera Project was to realize the automatic recombination, renewal, and adaptation of the genes of the Honkai Beasts, and to continue rising and evolving according to the needs and the things they devour in the future.

In other words, it was the Honkai version of Lord Kars!

When Angel entered the flesh, the delicate balance carefully designed by Mobius was broken, and a chain reaction like a domino effect occurred at the genetic rank. Various strange changes appeared in this body like a biological explosion.

"Hmm~~"

Angel let out an unbearable groan.

Pain, numbness, soreness, heat, cold... all kinds of extreme sensations intertwined, impacting her reason.

Until, finally, she couldn’t endure it anymore.

"Boom!!!"

...

Angel lost consciousness from the extreme impact.

Fortunately, the flesh she originally used was given to Mobius as an anchor point, so she could still stay in the Elysian Realm life after the experimental body went out of control.

"Ugh——"

Angel moaned in pain, still not fully recovering from the experience of death just now.

As her consciousness gradually cleared, she found herself lying on something very soft.

It turned out that her head was resting on Mobius’s thigh.

And her legs were placed on Elysia’s thigh.

No wonder it was so soft.

Angel raised the corner of her mouth slightly and let out a long breath.

"Don’t be silent, tell me how you felt before. Which part was the first to get out of control?"

"Mobius, be gentle. Didn’t you see that little Angie just woke up? You should give her a warm hug or a loving kiss now!"

"Shut up, you fat woman. You have nothing to do here!"

"Oh, my dear Mobius, I just hope you can be more frank. I don’t know who hugged little Angie tightly when the power broke out. We didn’t react and took her to the hall~~"

Elysia pinched Angel’s calf and gave her a look.

Angel understood and said: "Thank you, Doctor."

"Humph! I just care about my experimental results, but I don’t mean anything else."

"I’m sorry, I failed."

"... It’s okay. It’s natural to fail when adding so many extra things and starting the Chimera reaction for the first time."

"But Kevin succeeded on the first try."

"Kevin is Kevin, and you are you. Besides, the original design was much more conservative. If Kevin were doing this now, he wouldn’t succeed."

Mobius addressed the matter at hand.

The design was based on the concept of maximizing the success rate back then, but this time, it was designed with the extreme concept of whether life or death is not important. It is indeed very different.

So, she was just telling the truth, and she doesn't mean to comfort her. Don’t get her wrong!

"Are you still... feeling uncomfortable?"

"I’m fine, Doctor. I’m just a little... I’m just very tired right now."

"That’s good... I mean, anyway, don’t delay my next experiment!"

"No, thank you, Doctor, for your concern."

"Who cares about you!?"

Mobius blushed.

Angel smiled lightly, and because of fatigue, her usually cold and indifferent eyebrows and eyes seemed particularly weak, which made people soft-hearted.

Then, in the expression that Mobius forced herself to hold, she whispered:

"Doctor, it’s better to be frank occasionally. This is what important people taught me."

"Who is not frank!?"

"Anyway, although it failed, I know that the doctor has done something very, very remarkable. Thank you, Doctor Mobius."

"Woo... you... you just need to know."

Mobius made a super cute cry, then turned her face away and saved her dignity in a very low voice.

Angel chuckled and rubbed her head against Mobius’s soft thigh.

"Doctor, I just received news that a Herrscher appeared in the outside world."

Mobius, who was embarrassed and angry, and Elysia who was watching the show both looked serious.

Angel continued:

"The Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Rock appeared at the two ends of the Hemisphere at the same time."

This made the pupils of both of them shrink.

In the previous era, one Herrscher could bring about a crisis that overturned the world and caused countless tragedies and pains. If there were two Herrschers...

"Isn’t that extremely dangerous!?"

"Not really. Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are capable of dealing with it. Otherwise, there are Master and the others, as well as Kevin, Shamash, and World Serpent. In short, it won’t cause too much damage."

"Huh?" Elysia blinked in confusion.

Two Herrschers, and it won’t cause huge damage?

Elysia hoped that the Herrschers of the new era would have human hearts, but she didn’t dare to expect that every one of them would be as cute as Angel. If we look at it from the perspective of the previous era, we can’t imagine what kind of combat power reserves are needed to come to the conclusion that Angel made.

Angel closed her eyes, feeling the softness of Mobius and Elysia, and did not intend to explain, but slowly said:

"Doctor, our progress must be accelerated. I still have a lot to do, and I can't stay at this progress."

"... If you can bear it."

"It’s okay, Doctor, I can bear it. I always have."

"Tsk!"

Mobius sneered, but her hand was stroking Angel’s hair.

The force was very light, as if she were treating her most important experiment with care.

Chapter 356: Brainless and Unhappy

"Ah--"

The fierce wind at the top of the building should have been a life-threatening force, but at this moment, it could not stop the two intersecting golden and black lights, nor could it diminish the joyful calls from the two people.

That was Ji Lin stepping on the golden [Xuanyuan Sword], and [Fu Hua] stepping on the black sword [Sword Hidden in the Sheath].

"Hahaha! The sky is indeed the most suitable place for this immortal—free and unfettered! This feeling is great!"

"Jingwei, we seem to have flown past."

"Ah?"

[Fu Hua] turned her head and looked at Ji Lin, who was running alongside her.

But she saw Ji Lin suddenly leap to a higher spot on her sword, retract the Xuanyuan Sword, and then fall like a flying bird.

[Fu Hua] quickly adjusted her speed and found a good angle.

Then Ji Lin landed on [Fu Hua]'s back, stretched out her hand, and hung on to [Fu Hua] like a koala.

"Hey, be careful! Although I can catch you, what if I bump into something?"

[Fu Hua] turned her hand back and lifted Ji Lin's plump and round buttocks, rolling her eyes.

This was her fiancée. Ji Lin didn’t care, but [Fu Hua] did!

As a lesson, [Fu Hua] lightly patted Ji Lin's butt.

Ji Lin smiled. She hugged [Fu Hua]'s neck, rubbed her face against hers, and said:

"I knew Jingwei would catch me, so it’s fine!"

"That may be true, but what if you get hurt?"

How distressing!

[Fu Hua] puffed up her cheeks, thinking that the girl on her back was too impulsive and noisy and still needed a lesson, so she patted Ji Lin’s little butt again.

Ji Lin pouted and twisted her back in protest.

The small but still tender part was clearly felt by [Fu Hua].

"Mua!"

Then Ji Lin kissed her on the face.

After a series of moves, Fu Hua’s face turned red.

"Okay... okay, stop it. What did you say? Overflew?"

"Yeah, look at Little Book, Ah Lin, and another Jingwei. They were left far behind."

Ji Lin turned her head to look behind her, raised her hand, and looked into the distance.

[Fu Hua] looked behind her and nodded.

"Indeed. They’re too slow, aren’t they? It must be that the old timer is using her outdated cautiousness, restraint, and other long-winded words again, so it slowed down the process!"

"Why do you dislike the other Jingwei?"

"If it were you, would you be happy if you woke up and found another version of yourself?"

"Uh... It’s okay, I like Ah Lin very much, just like I like Jingwei!"

Ji Lin blinked her pure and flawless big eyes and openly made her Harem King declaration.

The pure [Fu Hua] didn’t catch the wolfish ambition of the girl on her back and only understood the most superficial meaning, so she was left momentarily speechless.

After a while, she murmured in a very soft voice:

"To be honest, I don’t hate it either..."

"Ah? The wind is a bit strong, Jingwei, what did you say? Speak louder!"

"Nothing, let’s go back, lest they fall behind!"

[Fu Hua] held Ji Lin’s body with both hands, and the black sword swirled and flew backward.

It wasn’t a very long distance to begin with, and it didn’t take long for them to meet again at the speed of flying on the sword.

Book of Fuxi held her forehead and sighed.

"Have you two had enough fun?"

"Ahaha, it’s rare to come out with Jingwei, and I’m so excited all of a sudden!"

"What are you afraid of? Who dares to provoke us? Even if there is, this immortal will kill them with one sword!"

Although Ji Lin didn’t apologize, she was a bit embarrassed.

[Fu Hua] was just stubborn. Book of Fuxi had a stern face: "For the next week, you two are not allowed to eat snacks."

"I’m sorry, I was wrong!" ×2

[Fu Hua] and Ji Lin on her back bowed their heads at the same time and sincerely admitted their mistakes.

Fu Hua had a headache, especially when she saw Ji Lin hugging [Fu Hua]'s neck and [Fu Hua] holding Ji Lin's buttocks, the two of them so close, she couldn’t help but feel veins bulging on her forehead.

Fortunately, she was now a spiritual body; otherwise, the veins would have been quite obvious, right?

'This little conscienceless girl, can’t you really tell who’s real and who’s fake?'

Fu Hua bit her lip, thinking of Ji Lin’s sincere words in the past, and a sense of unspeakable resentment emerged in her heart.

"Jingwei, Ah Lin, we’re back, hahaha!"

Then Ji Lin waved to them with a bright smile, and [Fu Hua] also smiled widely.

Ah Lin chuckled, looking at Ji Lin and [Fu Hua] with a gentle and helpless doting expression.

Fu Hua nodded helplessly, sighed, and reached out to touch Ji Lin's head.

"Pah!"

Fu Hua pretended to be careless but slapped it away very hard.

[Fu Hua] narrowed her eyes and reached out again.

"Bang!!!"

The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded.

The two equally graceful jade hands touched each other like lightning—one virtual, one real, but both surging with the same terrifying energy.

'Ji Lin is mine!'

'What do you mean by "yours and mine"? Even you are mine!'

—The above is the meaning of the eyes of Fu Hua and [Fu Hua] that Ji Lin imagined.

"Ahem!"

Book of Fuxi had to speak.

So the two people facing each other withdrew their hands at the same time, and the impact force just now dissipated.

"First, don’t do this in Mount Taixu. All building materials have to be transported by air from a long distance, and the renovation cost is very high. Second, don’t do this in front of outsiders—it makes our Mount Taixu look like there is internal disunity which is embarrassing. Do you understand?"

Book of Fuxi said tiredly, but unlike common sense, her urging eyes were mainly on Fu Hua.

Book of Fuxi had taken care of Fu Hua for thousands of years, managing mundane things for her, and dealing with most aspects of interacting with people. She was a shrewd person that few could match.

In her eyes, [Fu Hua] was a child with no bad intentions—just a little straightforward and impolite, nothing else.

But Fu Hua was different. From the beginning, she had retained a considerable degree of distrust. Of course, this wasn’t her fault.

Which of the Flamechasers who survived the previous era didn’t have some Herrscher PTSD? It wasn’t something that could be eliminated in a short time together.

However, [Fu Hua] have a different sensitivity to emotions than it appeared. Perhaps she vaguely sensed Fu Hua’s attitude, so she took a tit-for-tat stance.

Like a little hedgehog—if you want to poke me, I’ll poke you first.

In general, a classic combination of brainless and unhappy.

"Haha! Jingwei, you guys are playing again! Speaking of which, between me and Ah Lin, Ah Lin's swordsmanship is better, but my true ki is stronger, and I am better at naming than her. I wonder who is better between the two of you?" Ji Lin laughed happily and asked innocently.

[Fu Hua] immediately raised her head and chest and said proudly:

"Needless to say? Of course I am the best. Whether it’s swordsmanship, true ki, or knowledge, I am definitely ten or even nine times better than this old timer who does not want to make progress!"

"How shameless!"

"Lulululu~ I don’t understand the nonsense of four words~ Lulululu~~"

"You!!!"

The two Fu Huas stared at each other, exchanging sharp swords with their eyes.

And Ji Lin lay on [Fu Hua]'s back, shaking her two little feet happily, with an innocent expression that didn’t feel the smell of gunpowder at all.

"Alas..."

Book of Fuxi held her forehead again and sighed.

This is the situation.

There were conflicts between the two Fu Huas, and there was also a thick-skinned and silly Ji Lin who would stir up trouble from time to time without knowing it, which made them even more incompatible.

'I don’t know if she did it on purpose?'

'It shouldn’t be, right?'

After all, after spending these days together, she feel that the brain with relatively smooth wrinkles should not have such an IQ.

In short, Mount Taixu could still remain intact, all thanks to Book of Fuxi's majesty. Otherwise, the entire mountain range would have been flattened.

Why don’t you say thank you to the little ancestor?

"Stupid elmhead, how far are we from the destination?"

To prevent the dispute from continuing endlessly, Book of Fuxi had to change the subject.

[Fu Hua]: "I don’t know!"

Fu Hua: "At the current speed, about half an hour is enough. Let’s speed up a bit. Although there is a delay in Schicksal, the harm of the Herrscher cannot be underestimated. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can solve the crisis."

[Fu Hua]: "Speed up, right? I understand! Get bigger, there is a blade in my sheath!"

The originally wide black sword, stimulated by the Honkai energy, expanded into a narrow and long flying ship, pressing against the feet of everyone, lifting their bodies, and then suddenly accelerating without a word.

"Woohoo!!!"

------

Chapter 357: Brainless and Salted Fish

"By the way, Otto is not a good guy. I'll help you, but don't believe what he says!"

During the flight, [Fu Hua] suddenly turned back and warned, her expression filled with concern.

After looking at everyone's faces one by one, [Fu Hua] finally focused on Ji Lin, who was lying on her back.

"Jingwei, why are you looking at me?"

"Hey, Ji Lin, although I don't want to say this, it seems that you are the most innocent and easy to fool among us. Remember, don't believe any nonsense Otto says!"

"Hey! How can you say that? How can I be fooled? I'm very smart! I'm very good at naming. If you don't believe me, ask Ah Lin!"

"Yes, yes, yes, okay, Ji Lin is the best. Anyway, just remember what I say."

[Fu Hua] looked at the unconvinced Ji Lin with tolerance, and her pampering was almost written on her face.

Ji Lin became even angrier and moved her head back slightly before hitting [Fu Hua]'s forehead hard.

"Bang!"

Both of them had a small red spot on their foreheads.

However, the self-centered [Fu Hua] was not angry at all. Instead, she looked at Ji Lin with a distressed expression and rubbed the red spot for her.

"Don't hit it with your head next time. I have a strong physique, and it will hurt you."

"Oh, then I'll hit it with the Xuanyuan Sword next time?"

"Okay, don't worry, the immortal body is invincible!"

The two fools in everyone's eyes exchanged looks, and neither of them cared about the strange brain circuits they had, laughing suddenly as they looked at each other.

"Hahaha!" ×2

Book of Fuxi who was in the back squinted her eyes and looked at Ji Lin who was silently gesturing with her palms and was hesitating whether to act. She coldly remarked:

"To be honest, I think these two are a good match, much better than you."

"No! You know what kind of person she is, Little Book."

"It doesn't matter whether she is a human or a demon. What matters is her heart. I have better vision than you. I know her character better than you. If you keep being stubborn, something bad might happen someday. Let's see what you do then... Oh, and if you don't take the initiative to fight for her, Ji Lin might be abducted by her! She is much more self-aware than you, a blockhead."

"..."

Fu Hua was silent. She could only respond with a resentful look.

How could she not know that Ji Lin had gotten too close to this evil creature?

This is not a question of whether she can see it or not, but one of not knowing how to deal with it at all!

As the chief steward of Mount Taixu and a close friend who has been with me for a thousand years, do you think it's appropriate for you to not help me with some tricks at this time and just stand there making sarcastic remarks?

"Puff!"

Ah Lin couldn't hold back her laughter. It's hard to say what others think, but she had been enjoying eating melons lately. It was quite amusing to stand on the shore and watch the scenery.

So, Fu Hua's eyes became even more resentful.

How come Mount Taixu is full of people who are just stupid and looking for fun? Is there really no one who can help me? I, the Immortal Phoenix, can do everything, but winning a woman's heart is just like mathematics. If you can't do it, you can't do it!

At that awkward moment, it was [Fu Hua] who suddenly turned her head and broke the silence:

"By the way, how did Anti-Entropy respond? Although two Herrscher are rare, we can easily suppress them by dividing our forces. Did they directly refuse?"

"Cocolia said that it is not necessary, and Anti-Entropy will handle it."

Book of Fuxi replied.

[Fu Hua] scratched her head and said unhappily:

"Tsk! Why are they the same as the group of people in power 50,000 years ago? This is a Honkai Eruption, not a family affair. Why are they still entangled in prejudice and power struggles? But Cocolia is still better. At least she has good fighting forces. She is not a person who is incompetent and just drags the team down. This is better than those people who chased the fire moths back then. I hope they can really handle it. Don't come to me crying and begging for help in the end. That would be too funny."

The Herrscher Immortal Phoenix made a sharp comment about the real leader of Anti-Entropy, and it was very reasonable.

At least the other Immortal Phoenix nodded after listening, feeling that this statement was relatively fair.

During the conversation, the huge flying sword had already arrived in Eastern Europe.

From a distance, a huge deep pit created by terrifying power could be seen. Above the deep pit, a faint white barrier covered it.

From time to time, huge shelters, both inside and outside the barrier, fell onto the white circle, but they did not cause any noticeable changes.

"What is this?" [Fu Hua] landed beside a girl who was half-lying in the air peacefully, squinting her eyes and taking a nap.

Needless to say, it was the famous lazy girl in this book, Miss Delta, the Herrscher of Wind, who would rather lie down than stand.

Delta slowly opened her eyelids and yawned. "Ha~~ It's just a wind wall, with a silk net of ideal fluid as the skeleton and flowing wind to fill the gaps. The strength is not much worse than that of a pure ideal fluid wall, but the consumption is reduced a thousandfold. If necessary, I can cover all of Europe like this."

"Boom!"

As she spoke, the trapped Herrscher of Rock controlled another huge piece of rock and soil, and smashed it against the barrier, but it failed to stir up any waves.

[Fu Hua] caught a flying stone and threw it back. The moment the stone touched the wind wall, it bounced and shattered, demonstrating the power of the wind wall.

She blinked as if she had learned something new and said in surprise: "Huh? That's quite a powerful trick of yours!"

"It's just a small trick. It's okay for a city, but don't ask me to cover the whole continent. It will be very tiring. Come in when you come. Yae Sakura has been fighting that thing inside for a long time. You guys should solve it quickly so I can go home and sleep early."

"Hey! Can you be a little more motivated? You are an S-class Valkyrie!"

[Fu Hua] patted Delta's shoulder very familiarly and encouraged her with a smile.

Even if the Herrscher of Sentience was unaware of her power, [Fu Hua]'s insight into emotions was naturally strong.

She could feel no malice from Delta, who exuded a pure, good impression. This made [Fu Hua] immediately like this "salted fish" and find her very pleasing—at least much more pleasing than that old timer who never smiled all day!

"Alas, I am alone and weak, and I can't support the city. The city-sized cage is the limit, and all I can do is stand by and cheer him on. I am just a little Herrscher. What if the Herrscher of Rock suddenly attacks and hurts someone? Although my mortal body cannot live as long as the immortals, I still want to live a peaceful life for a thousand or eight hundred years. Please forgive me~~"

"Eh! Your words are so foxy!"

"Hahaha! Archbishop Otto promised me that this position would pay well and be close to Wendy. In the end, I got the money and Wendy, but there were too many things to do. I was asked to work overtime from time to time, and I had to work hard to develop skills to protect myself. Alas, if I am unfortunately shot down by a monster one day, what will happen to my Wendy? I dare not even think about it."

"I know, I know. Otto is not a good guy. Nine out of ten things he says are unbelievable, and the remaining one is just a polite remark with no information."

[Fu Hua] nodded and unconsciously linked shoulders with Delta, looking very familiar.

Delta smiled and said:

"The immortal is indeed wise and insightful. Let's drink wolfberry tea together when we're free."

"Okay, okay, you can also come to Mount Taixu to drink tea when you have nothing to do. I have everything in Mount Taixu!"

[Fu Hua] patted her chest with loyalty.

So, Sentience and Wind reached a consensus, shook hands sincerely, and shared a harmonious atmosphere, as if they had known each other forever.

Book of Fuxi's eyes lit up:

"Fuck! This is the means of interpersonal communication! This is the ultimate form you should have, blockhead!"

"... Enough!"

Fu Hua covered her face, not understanding what the problem was.

She was clearly just a Herrscher, but why did she seem to be more popular than the genuine Immortal Jingwei wherever she went?!

Over there, [Fu Hua] already had the tone of an old acquaintance, smiling and saying to Delta:

"Then open the door, I will try to get it done for you within three minutes, and then you can go home and rest."

"Wow! That's great! Long live the Immortal Jingwei YYDS!"

"(＃^_^＃) Hehe! You are very sensible! Let me know if you have any trouble next time, rest assured, there is nothing in this world that I can't solve!"

"↖(^ω^)↗Great! The door is open, take care, come on, come on, come on~~"

Senti rarely got excited, cheering and sending Mount Taixu and her group into the wind wall barrier.

-----

Chapter 358: It Was All Done by Kalpas

"Boom!"

"Bang!!!"

The ground exuded murderous intent, with dragons and Serpents rising from the land.

The Herrscher of Rock controlled the power of gravity, turning the entire earth into his own weapon, uprooting mountains and ridges to attack in a spectacular display.

But [Fu Hua] who had taken over the baton from Yae Sakura was obviously not a low-key person. She immediately slashed downward with a black sword ki, cutting through the heavy rocks and soil, and slamming into the wind wall maintained by Delta.

"Hahaha! That's it, let's fight, hahaha!"

The piercing laughter made Fu Hua frown, and she thought of an old friend in a trance.

Could it be that she learned this from Kalpas?

This arrogant fighting posture and momentum were hard to ignore, reminding people of one of Dr. Mobius’s famous sayings—it must have been done by Kalpas!

Fu Hua quickly shook her head, dismissing the strange association, and refocused on the battle.

The Herrscher of Rock in front of her had a delicate face that was difficult to tell if it was male or female. He appeared very young, but the roaring anger and hatred in his eyes destroyed any trace of youth, making him look more like a beast than a human.

After all, not every Herrscher can...

Fu Hua sighed inwardly, then turned her gaze away from the battle.

The Herrscher of Rock was quite powerful, and in terms of Honkai energy, was much stronger than Mei.

But from Mount Taixu, the evil entity that was holding Fu Hua's body in its prime and had inherited over 90% of her martial arts skills. If she couldn't win—Fu Hua thought she didn't need to say anything further. That naughty girl should have committed suicide out of shame.

"I remember that this was supposed to be a city, right?"

Fu Hua took the lead, followed by Ah Lin, Ji Lin, and Book of Fuxi, and the group approached the pink miko, who was sheathing her knife.

The beautiful witch frowned and sighed.

"Yes, it was a peaceful city with millions of residents, but now..."

Now, there was only a huge pit like an abyss.

The land at the bottom of the pit was full of holes, and the Herrscher of Rock was lifting more soil and rocks, manipulating and ravaging them at will. It was completely different from the city where millions of people had lived just hours ago.

"When Delta and I arrived, the Herrscher had just completed the transformation, but the abnormal gravity he emitted had already flattened most of the city. In an emergency, I immediately stepped forward to fight him, and Delta took the opportunity to use the wind to evacuate all the citizens who could still be saved. Then, it was what you saw."

This is also one of the most terrifying things about the Honkai.

Just like an earthquake, there are signs that can only be captured as they occur. In other words, when the signs of Honkai are detected, someone has already been deeply trapped in it. No matter how fast the anti-Honkai organization reacts, they will always be too late, and no one can change that.

From 50,000 years ago to now, no one or organization has been able to predict the actions of the Honkai, which is always one step ahead of humans.

Even though Angel has long been the biggest behind-the-scenes mastermind of the current era, she cannot predict the Honkai. She will always be one step slower and cannot avoid the initial sacrifices.

Yae Sakura said with a gloomy look in her eyes:

"The specific casualties haven't been counted yet, but I can already see countless lives lost. If... if we had been faster..."

"No, you've done very well," Fu Hua shook her head.

The Herrscher of Rock, the disappearance of an entire city, and less than a million casualties.

This data would have been considered a miracle in the previous era.

Fu Hua was also saddened by the sacrifice, but from a rational standpoint, she highly recognized the actions of Yae Sakura and Schicksal.

"Uh-huh!"

"Bang!"

Just as the group fell silent, a shouting figure was pushed back by a boulder, then rebounded by the wind wall, and finally floated in front of them in a slightly embarrassed manner.

"Jingwei, are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine! I was just having too much fun playing, and I made a mistake. It was just a mistake. I'll take care of him right away!"

"How about I help you?"

"No, no! I said it's a one-person job, and it will be done by one person. I said it’ll take three minutes, and it will take three minutes. Once the Immortal Phoenix speaks, it can’t be changed!" [Fu Hua] slapped her chest proudly.

Ji Lin quickly reached out to stop her—don’t slap it, it’s not big to begin with, and if you keep slapping, will there be anything left for the child to play with in the future?

"Jingwei, but the time you asked me to count has already passed two and a half minutes."

"What? So fast? It's too late, time for a surprise move!"

[Fu Hua] looked anxious.

This was the first time she was showing off her power in front of her fiancée and the old timer, and she had also set a time limit in front of Delta. She couldn't afford to lose dignity.

Fu Hua threw the huge black sword upwards, and it transformed into a dark, ominous black flame that rushed up to the sky.

"Hahaha! I've had enough fun! Next, struggle, fear, and then taste despair!"

"God! The ultimate change!"

The clear mantra echoed through the sky.

At the same time, the rolling black flames spread across the massive wind wall, soon blocking out all light.

In the darkness, only the roar of the Herrscher of Rock could be heard, accompanied by an extremely terrifying pressure bursting from above, so sharp it seemed that just sensing it from a distance would pierce the soul.

Fu Hua's expression changed slightly.

"Jingwei, hasn’t your Blade Mantra already...?" Ah Lin leaned close to Fu Hua’s ear and asked doubtfully.

Fu Hua nodded and replied softly.

"I roughly know what kind of Herrscher she is."

"Hmm?"

"This state of mind and sword ki is impetuous and turbid, as if they were forcibly pieced together with excessive spiritual power. But there is no doubt that this is indeed my Taixuan Eminence. Just by inheriting my martial arts memory, she has piled up the realm that I had lost out of thin air. It's almost certain that she should be the Herrscher of Sentience."

This trip was just to see the power essence of this evil entity and confirm her identity.

However, after seeing the Herrscher of Rock, Fu Hua no longer had any hope. After all, it didn’t seem like the kind of strength that could force [Fu Hua] to use her instinctive power.

Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn. Through a move from the Eminence that was neither fish nor fowl, Fu Hua finally confirmed her true identity.

Then, Fu Hua had a headache.

"The Herrscher of Sentience in my body? This is really the worst situation!"

Originally, it was characterized by abstraction, flexibility, and manipulation of people's hearts. If you are not careful, there is a huge risk of disintegrating one's identity.

If Fu Hua's accumulation of thousands of years is added, if this thing explodes, the current optimistic situation may collapse instantly.

In the darkness, Ji Lin suddenly spoke.

"What are you whispering about?"

"...Nothing!" ×2

Fu Hua and Ah Lin answered in unison.

From the current situation, Ji Lin appeared to have the greatest influence on [Fu Hua].

Although the two could not look at each other, they tacitly decided to conceal it for the time being, planning to find time later to think carefully, discuss, and then decide how to deal with it.

Chapter 359: Does Your Face Hurt?

"Taixu Sword Ki·Shen Yun!"

With a delicate shout, the huge sword ki rushed down, accompanied by black flames.

"Kacha!"

The sound of something breaking echoed from the darkness.

The next moment, a wind and waves of terrifying power hit everyone.

Fu Hua, Ji Lin, and Ah Lin stretched out their hands at the same time, tightly protecting Book of Fuxi's front, quietly waiting for the storm to subside.

But after a while, the sky cleared.

There was a bottomless pit on the ground, and another narrow sword mark ran through it, extending to the end of the earth.

The wind wall that had covered the sky before also disappeared.

However, seeing Delta using a transparent wind rope to pull the unconscious Herrscher of Rock slowly toward her, it was unclear whether the wind wall had failed to withstand the impact or if Delta had simply grown too lazy to maintain it and deliberately removed it.

"Hahaha, how about it? I said three minutes, three minutes—awesome, right?"

"Awesome, awesome, Immortal Phoenix is the best in the world."

"Yeah, if you can talk, say a few more words. I love hearing it. Well, I know that the living are more valuable for research than the dead, so I specially saved his life and took him back to report to that guy, Otto."

"Eh? Do you still have to carry him to the headquarters? Why not just kill him directly?"

Delta complained in a slow tone, laced with a little disdain.

To be honest, Otto wasn’t interested, and Angie wasn’t either.

She herself didn’t know how many Herrschers she had studied.

For now, it’s not that the Herrscher of Rock has no research value, but it’s more cost-effective to extract the core for herself.

Even Fu Hua was stunned by this extreme passiveness.

"I don't think Otto deserves this..."

He really has subordinates like you...

"Hmm?"

"I mean you might be a little extreme."

Fu Hua said dryly.

"I knew you were a lazy guy, but I didn’t expect you to be so lazy. In order to avoid flying to the headquarters, you even want to kill the living Herrscher you got—In the previous era, Mobius would go crazy."

"Leave it to me."

Yae Sakura had to step up, extending her hand to lift the Herrscher of Rock before turning to look at Fu Hua with a meaningful glance.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing. As expected of Senior Fu Hua, she easily subdued a Herrscher."

"Isn’t that obvious? But you're not bad either. I noticed when I came in just now that the power of your Oriental sword is quite dangerous. In fact, you could handle it with more time. How did you do it? What's Otto's new thing?"

Fu Hua curiously extended her fingers and tapped the sword on Yae Sakura’s waist, producing a crisp metallic sound.

Yae Sakura stared at Fu Hua with a curious expression for a long time before smiling gently.

"It’s the power of the Gem of Serenity. I was lucky and barely managed to integrate it."

"Wow, this is not just a matter of luck! Isn’t this super powerful!"

"Thank you for the compliment. Senior Fu Hua is still stronger. Please take care of me in the future."

"You’re welcome. Feel free to find me if you have any trouble! If you’re fighting against Honkai, I’ll come to help you no matter what, alright?"

[Fu Hua] placed her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest as a matter of course.

Seeing this, Ji Lin also stepped forward and stood side by side with Fu Hua, putting her hands on her hips and puffing out her chest in sync.

"Yes, I have to help you!"

Then, the two proud fools exchanged an inexplicable laugh.

The atmosphere gradually relaxed.

[Fu Hua] looked at the broken ground below, her smile slowly fading as she spoke to Yae Sakura:

"I can feel that this Herrscher of Rock has nothing but endless malice and anger in his heart, and I’m afraid there’s no chance of him regaining his humanity. Delta and my apprentice can do it, but that doesn’t mean every Herrscher can be saved. You should be careful. It will be very troublesome if you let it escape. If it doesn’t work, do as Delta said and kill it as soon as possible. The core is still very useful."

"Thanks for the reminder, Senior Fu Hua."

"Also, over there—is that where the survivors are gathering? I feel a lot of... bad emotions."

The arrogance and silly optimism from earlier had vanished, and [Fu Hua] scratched her face, looking a little distressed.

After a moment, she sighed and said:

"Although I swore in my early years that I would never use Fenghuang Down to interfere with other people’s minds, the situation this time is special. If I don’t comfort them and let them rest well to adjust their mentality, something bad might happen."

It seemed that after careful consideration, she held a red feather, nodded firmly, and then flew toward that direction.

Fu Hua stared at her own back, unsure of what she was thinking.

Book of Fuxi squinted and nudged Fu Hua with her elbow.

"What do you mean, does it hurt?"

"... Enough."

Fu Hua covered her face, feeling helpless about Book of Fuxi who loved watching her antics.

But, this Herrscher with a slightly strange way chattering... perhaps, maybe, is really kind-hearted?

Far Away on the Other Side of the Ocean

The rescue process of Anti-Entropy is far from Schicksal.

"Go, go, go! Hurry up, the heating might fail at any time, and we must reach the evacuation point before the temperature drops completely!"

"Run!"

In the snow-covered city, temporary heat sources were being installed on the streets one after another, regardless of energy loss, and connected in series to form a safe passage against the extreme cold.

Anti-Entropy members, drones, and temporarily recruited non-staff members, etc., formed a tightly organized evacuation team, using the cold-resistant passage built by Red Queen Angel to rescue and evacuate as many city residents as possible.

The dense crowd ran quickly.

Meanwhile, the Titan Legion marched firmly, advancing neatly toward the deepest part of the snow-covered area, forming an impenetrable steel defense line.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Roar——"

Artillery fire rained down all the way, striking the ever-growing Honkai beasts and dead soldiers, blocking these bloodthirsty monsters in the encirclement, buying time for the evacuation work.

"Red Queen, is there anything else? I’m done here!"

"Trapped children found at point B17. Please head to the right first. There is a flamethrower at the door of the third store, which can assist with the rescue operation."

"The ice is getting thicker. We can’t waste time. Can’t we use drones to thaw it?"

"All energy has been allocated to heating the safe passage. I’m sorry."

Red Queen Angel replied in an emotionless mechanical voice.

Watching the rescuers act according to the instructions, Angel sighed tiredly in the depths of the electronic network.

The resources of a base are limited.

The army for destroying and blocking monsters, large-scale open-air heating, and drones that search and guide non-stop—Angel used everything she could.

"The estimated population is 1.8 million, the evacuated population is 1.15 million, and the survival rate is about 64%."

From the data, no one could complain more.

Angel did better than anyone else, more efficiently and correctly than any organization in both the past and future.

But Angel wasn’t very happy.

Where has the expeditionary force gone?

Ninti will arrive in fifteen minutes. How’s the Herrscher?

The transformation will be completed soon. If it takes fifteen minutes, it will be difficult to hold on with the military strength here.

It’s difficult to hold on, but we must hold on, or there will be bloodshed.

She knows.

Red Queen Angel kept a calm mind, set a countdown for herself, and sent the reinforcement news to ease the crowd’s panic.

Drones patrolled, soldiers and ordinary staff were running, and life moved hurriedly yet orderly through the passage maintained by heating facilities. At the open evacuation points, people who had escaped were hugging each other or gazing back at the road they had traveled, eagerly awaiting the appearance of their relatives and friends, ready to leave the city with the help of large transportation vehicles.

Red Queen Angel quietly watched these scenes, brushing away the haze in her heart for the time being, feeling a rare sense of steadiness.

------

Chapter 360: Living Currency

"Whoosh--"

The deadly cold wind blew, sweeping up the ice and snow that were still falling from the sky.

Then, deep in the city of winter, all conditions were exhausted.

The temporary heaters dimmed one after another.

The temperature had dropped to the limit, especially in the deep areas. Even the Titans couldn’t move forward, and the heaters couldn’t be maintained.

[Warning: The heating area is about to Collapse. People who have not evacuated yet, please return to the evacuation point as quickly as possible.]

[Warning...]

The Queen of Red Angel transmitted the alarm to every search and rescue personnel she had sent out.

The drone also followed up to ensure that everyone could evacuate safely.

Perhaps there were still a few people in the city barely holding on in a special environment, waiting for rescue.

But if they continued, the search and rescue team would be wiped out first.

Angel made a decision.

The rescue ends here. The next focus is the terrifying Honkai energy that keeps breaking the upper limit in the coldest place deep in the city—the Herrscher of Ice has awakened!

"Ah--"

A piercing scream, unlike that of a human, a few seconds after the Red Queen ordered the search and rescue to end, spread throughout the ice city, followed by a hurricane of ice and cold with a huge amount of Honkai energy.

"Boom!"

The wind and waves swept to the infinitely distant suburbs, scattering a lot of frost along the way.

At the same time the Ice Herrscher spoke for the first time, countless Titans and combat drones entered full combat status. The barrels were preheated, the engines roared, and then--

"Boom boom!!!"

The sky was full of artillery fire, covering half of the ice city.

The first firepower arranged by Red Queen Angel annihilated a large number of Honkai beasts born with the awakening of the Herrscher and also attracted the attention of the Ice Herrscher.

As she expected, the newly born Herrscher was not sober, and after sensing the threat of firepower, it immediately launched a counterattack against the Titan Legion.

"Bang!"

A continuous glacier, tens of meters high, was pulled up from the flat ground, rushing toward the Titans that formed the defense line.

[Fire. Put up a shield.]

Angel calmly issued the order.

The shield-bearing individuals in the Titan Legion moved forward to build a steel barrier, and the shoulder cannons of the entire army in the rear deformed and charged, spewing out thousands of flames.

"Boom!"

The explosion shattered a large number of frozen buildings.

Angel lost a front army.

Fortunately, there were still a large number of machines in the encirclement, and they turned their guns, aimed, and then fired.

The fire and smoke rushed into the sky.

While maintaining the military force to distract the attention of the Herrscher, Angel issued a speed-up warning to those who had not yet completed the evacuation.

How long can the military force of only one production base distract the Herrscher?

She doesn’t know.

But it will definitely not be long.

Angel could only calculate calmly, turning all the machines in her hands into currency, spending them as much as possible to maximize their value, in order to gain even one more second of distraction time.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

The countdown for the arrival of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters' forces was getting smaller and smaller, and the currency in Angel’s hand was evaporating rapidly.

[Notice to the whole army: The Herrscher of Ice has begun to move. The Titan Corps is holding the first front line and is expected to Honkai completely in seven minutes. All combat personnel are requested to be fully armed and go to the assigned bases according to the instructions to build the second front line and implement the Herrscher's diversionary combat plan.]

[Notice again: The survival rate of diversionary combat is unpredictable, but every second you fight for will turn into the vitality of all compatriots who have not yet completed the evacuation. Therefore, please hold the front line at all costs.]

[The Anti-Entropy Comprehensive Resource Statistics and Management Information Processing Automation System - Codename Red Queen, pays the highest respect to all heroic warriors who bravely defend the dignity of humanity. The world will remember your courage and honor.]

[Sincerely, salute.]

In the intelligent combat glasses, mobile phones, the interactive interface of vehicles and bodies, the screens and projection facilities that could still be operated on the streets, etc., all the display interfaces visible to the naked eye, there appeared a delicate and cute red-haired little loli, with a solemn face. She raised her hand and saluted the entire army.

Then, they were assigned their respective bases and combat orders.

A large number of people who had originally moved outward appeared in the opposite direction.

They were either wrapped in heavy cold-proof combat uniforms or simply driving battlefields and mechas. Their expressions and eyes couldn’t be seen, but their steps were firm and fearless.

The world is different, and many systems and ideas cannot be simply and roughly universal.

But there are some things that can be.

For example, sharing specific war intelligence with frontline soldiers and informing them in detail of the dangers and importance of each operation.

Such a concept, coupled with fair and just treatment, and clear and understandable discipline—a prototype of a strong army that seemed to have come across the world—appeared.

"Whoosh!"

The cold wind whistled across the first front.

Under the combined effects of extreme low temperatures, glacial arrow rain, and the growing Honkai beasts, all the Titans on the first front eventually became scrap iron and ice sculptures, and unmanned fighters also fell one after another.

In the ninth minute of the Ice Herrscher’s activity, the lifeless currency on the first front was exhausted.

The next thing to spend would be living currency.

[A13, A14, B27 strongholds, destroy the group of Honkai beasts that attempt to attack the defense line.]

[C31, D24 strongholds, fire in the designated direction, use long-range firepower, and attract the attention of the Herrscher.]

At the eleventh minute, the first stronghold was declared completely destroyed.

At the thirteenth minute, the extremely low temperature environment was about to cover the second front line, and the Red Queen issued a retreat order.

At the fourteenth minute, the second front line lost its function, and the power of the Honkai beasts and Ice Herrscher broke through the front line and headed towards the vehicles that were fleeing at a rapid speed.

"Red Queen, have we completed the mission?"

[...Zizi...]

Sitting in the body of the completely frozen outer armor, watching the light in the cockpit gradually dim, listening to the last echo of the communicator that was unsure whether it was the noise of the current, the young warrior sighed.

"I hope they have evacuated safely... eh?"

He suddenly exclaimed. Because he could clearly feel the vibration and tilt of the machine, and could also hear the huge noise coming from the outside world.

The Herrscher of Ice is coming?

The soldier thought numbly, is this the end of his life?

"Bang!"

Then there was a sound of steel armor being forcibly pierced, and light shone in.

He squinted his eyes and was about to take a look at the changes in the outside world, but he saw a white jade-like hand, which touched the cockpit position with ease and grabbed his shoulder.

"Eh!!"

"Crack!"

"Bang!"

The hand tore through the frozen steel and pulled him out of the closed tomb.

Looking up, a huge and boundless steel wall appeared before his eyes.

Looking up slightly, he saw a steel mechanical arm, as big as a city, condensed in the sky. With a loud punch, it shattered the air and struck the direction of the Herrscher of Ice on the other side of the wall.

------

Chapter 361: So Brave, Actually Facing Head-On?

"Soldier, can you still move?"

The arm that had dragged him out of death placed him on the ground and asked in a soft, calm voice.

The soldier looked in the direction of the voice, and then his body trembled, for he saw a face he had long heard of, now moving before him.

"Lord Cocolia!?"

"Call me Commander!"

"Yes, Commander Cocolia!"

"BT, I don't need you here. Go activate more available heating facilities. The soldiers need warmer air."

Cocolia gave an order to the white mecha behind her, watching it fly into the air and head off. Then she lowered her head and re-examined the soldier who had been pulled out of the ice.

"So, can you still move, soldier?"

"Yes... Yes, Commander Cocolia!"

"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes to rest, then follow the Red Queen's instructions to rescue your comrades."

"Yes, Commander Cocolia! But why would Commander Cocolia..."

How could she appear on such a dangerous front?

It didn’t quite fit the soldier's understanding.

"I was at the frontline during the Chiyou War, the Gem of Serenity War, and the Mariana Trench War! Not only was I at the frontline, but I was also one of the combatants. How come, as the highest commander, not go to the frontline in the most important battlefield? Is it strange?"

The soldier scratched his head.

To be honest, it was quite strange.

But this kind of strangeness made people feel a little relieved.

"Nothing, just be careful."

The soldier scratched his head again, calming down from the excitement of suddenly seeing the highest commander and escaping death.

"Anyway, you did a good job. Thank you for your efforts."

Cocolia reached out, straightened the soldier’s collar, smiled, and then turned and left.

"Yes, sir. Take care!"

The soldier saluted with his feet together, standing with his back straight.

Cocolia continued rescuing the trapped soldiers along the way until she came to an open area. She folded her arms across her chest, standing proudly in the cold wind. The green coat on her shoulders fluttered with the wind, giving her a heroic posture.

Ninti and Welt fell from the sky.

"What's the situation?"

"Ninti has pushed the Ice Herrscher out of the city, but he is still there. We need to destroy him."

"Is that so..."

"Mom is waiting for us here. Ninti will be back soon." Ninti blinked her big watery eyes and was about to take off again, but Cocolia held her down.

"Mom?"

Ninti turned around and looked at Cocolia in confusion.

Cocolia frowned and bit her lip, then squatted down and hugged Ninti tightly in her arms after a moment.

"Ninti..."

"Mom, I'm here."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Ninti knows everything. Just wait for me here, Mother Cocolia."

The little girl gently hugged her mother, and her golden hair peeked out from her arms, fluttering in the wind as if every strand was filled with tenderness.

--The above is from Welt's subjective feelings as he watched.

Of course, he also understood the meaning of the short conversation.

Cocolia Angel’s personal philosophy had always been that her generation should fight all the wars that needed to be fought, at any cost, to leave a new era of peace and security for the children.

As a result, now she had to send her young daughter to the most dangerous battlefield.

"Ah..."

Welt sighed with empathy.

"Cocolia, don't worry too much. Ninti is very strong now... eh?"

Cocolia raised her foot and kicked Welt on the waist, interrupting his words.

The supportive voice of Tesla came from the headset:

"Yes, kick him! Use some force!"

"Yang, do you want to hear what you just said?"

Einstein supported synchronously.

What did he mean by "Ninti is very strong, don't worry"?

As elders, the two of them were completely on Cocolia’s side at that moment.

Welt looked at the footprints on his waist, smiled bitterly, and shook his head.

"I mean I will follow and protect her. I’ll make sure she doesn’t get into trouble, so don’t worry."

The Alliance Leader humbly apologized to the ladies of the executors.

Cocolia didn’t care about Welt's reaction. She stood up, touched Ninti’s little head, and gently pushed her out.

"Go, mom is waiting for you here."

"Yeah."

Ninti smiled softly, stood up, and flew into the sky.

Cocolia looked up at the little figure as it disappeared, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

Welt looked at the scene with a gentle smile and then followed Ninti.

……

"Joachim, stay away. Don’t get affected."

The Ice Herrscher, who had been knocked away by the giant Mecha God's punch, appeared before her sight.

Ninti turned around, her little face looking silly and cute, but her voice was particularly serious.

Welt was silent for a moment.

"Although I am no longer a Herrscher of Reason, the power of the Star of Eden has long been integrated into my body, and it has not weakened much."

That's what he said, but seeing the seriousness and persistence in Ninti’s eyes, Welt still felt warm in his heart. He nodded and stopped flying.

It had been agreed in advance that this time was Ninti’s battlefield, and Welt would not take over.

Ninti looked at Welt, nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and rushed toward the Ice Herrscher.

"Ah——"

The Herrscher of Ice seemed to know that the huge attack that had just collapsed was caused by Ninti, so she let out a shrill scream.

The ice spikes in the sky poured down on Ninti.

Ninti’s speed didn’t slow down, but an astonishing number of floating guns appeared in the sky, and the energy torrent formed by the interweaving beams annihilated all the ice and snow attacks without any hindrance.

The Herrscher of Ice had no time to react, and Ninti had already rushed in front of her and raised her small fist.

'Looking at it this way, she is a very beautiful girl.'

Ninti calmly looked at the tearful and angry face of the Ice Herrscher, then punched out.

The air was compressed at a very fast speed.

"Boom!!!"

Half of the Herrscher of Ice’s waist disappeared, leaving only half of the body. Countless ice crystals scattered into the air at the wound.

Behind the Herrscher of Ice, the earth and clouds in the sky were also split by this punch.

In the past, Siegfried ran away with a sword, combing the earth in the middle.

With the mass and energy of Chiyou, Angel can easily comb a smaller middle part of the continent with just a punch.

"Ah...ah..."

The Ice Herrscher uttered a slight murmur, as if she had not yet reacted to what had happened.

"Ah!!!"

Then there was a piercing, crazy scream.

The countless ice and snow that suddenly appeared forced Ninti to retreat a little.

Then came the thousand-meter-high peak that rose from the ground. The remains of the Ice Herrscher were wrapped in the glacier, screaming and roaring, quickly draining the temperature of a hundred miles.

"If this goes on, it will affect everyone."

Ninti said to herself, her eyes determined, and she flew into the sky.

The Ice Herrscher roared, and the vast ice and snow covered all places visible to the naked eye, still spreading to more distant places.

But at the same time, a huge shadow beyond imagination covered the sky and the sun.

Welt looked up with a hint of surprise on his face. "That’s... not the same as last time."

It was like a huge mecha god standing up from the planet. Its lines and outlines had become more refined and slender, adding a bit of majesty and holiness.

"Has it been improved again? It’s worthy of being Ninti." Welt smiled with satisfaction.

And Ninti, in the latest version of the mecha god improved by Dr. Vill-V, raised her fist and swung it down.

"Ah!!!"

The Ice Herrscher felt threatened, screamed, and urged her power. She quickly raised and expanded the iceberg beneath her, forming an exaggerated upward force to meet the fist that was pressing down on the planet.

"Boom!!!"

There was no stalemate or suspense.

The golden mecha god’s hand, like a jade pillar, smashed deeply into the ground. The fist was deeply imprinted into the earth, and the arm extended to the sky, causing violent earthquakes over a hundred miles.

As for the glacier, the blizzard, and most importantly, the Ice Herrscher herself, they all disappeared under the iron arm that fell from the top of the sky.

The warm sunlight shone clearly and unhindered on the earth.

Ninti withdrew the Mecha God expressionlessly, stood above the boundless fist print, holding the Ice Herrscher Core that still radiated huge Honkai energy, and suddenly couldn’t understand:

'How can she be so brave that she actually stood and confronted me head-on?'

------

Chapter 362: Kiana Doesn't Want to Leave

"Jiang Jiang! I'm back!"

From the suddenly opened space crack, a super invincible, ridiculously cute white head poked out, saying playful words that made one itch with excitement.

Who could this super beautiful girl with a cute face, graceful figure, and fair skin be?

"Wait a moment, there are two more documents, Kiana."

Bronya spoke, retracting her gaze from the direction of the space crack and returning to the task at hand.

Soon, all the documents were approved and uploaded to the Red Queen system, awaiting feedback on her execution.

Then, Bronya turned to Kiana.

At this moment, the cute white-haired girl was sitting on the sofa, munching on snacks from the table.

Bronya smiled knowingly, stood up, frowned suddenly, and walked to an open space in front of her. She bent down and gently massaged the muscles in her thighs.

"Well, your legs haven't healed yet?"

Kiana had squatted beside her at some point, stretched out her fingers, and gently poked Bronya's soft, round thighs, which were as white and tender as milk.

The excellent touch and elasticity made Kiana grin, and then she continued to poke.

Bronya rolled her eyes and knocked Kiana's head.

"It's been a few months since the Honkai energy removal and nerve repair surgery, but long-term tissue necrosis and muscle laxity cannot be fully recovered in such a short time. If you sit for too long or are under too much pressure, you’ll start to feel sore."

"It's a good thing you're a civilian now. If you were still a Valkyrie, you'd probably fall flat on the battlefield or something."

"First of all, Bronya has a heavy-duty bunny, so she doesn't need to run. Second, even if Bronya uses an exoskeleton, she could still easily knock Kiana down."

"Oh? Really? I don’t believe it~~"

Kiana, the Herrscher of the Void, smiled sideways.

Bronya was speechless for a moment.

Before Angel joined the academy, Kiana was a piece of cake in front of the Stand Valkyrie Bronya; she could do whatever she wanted.

But after Angel's arrival, this paramecium kept ranking up.

First, her combat abilities skyrocketed, then her liberal arts scores at least became passable. Now, she had mastered the power of space. In contrast, Bronya hadn’t made much noticeable progress. After the surgery, she no longer needed an exoskeleton, but was still in recovery, with much weaker leg strength than before.

She couldn’t beat Kiana.

So, Bronya had to change the subject.

"Let’s talk about business. How’s the situation?"

"It was resolved smoothly. I could see everything from a distance. Your little Ninti is really strong!"

Kiana gave a thumbs up.

Especially the huge robot—it was so cool that Kiana couldn't help but admire it.

Bronya raised the corner of her mouth and nodded in relief.

Yes, her family was going to the battlefield. How could she not worry? After thinking about it, Kiana's abilities were best suited for remote observation. If necessary, Mei could also be called for help. So, Bronya had to swallow her pride and ask Kiana for assistance.

As expected, Kiana had agreed right away, then watched Ninti, Cocolia, and the others resolve the incident safely on Bronya's behalf.

"Thank you, Kiana."

"What kind of relationship do we have? Why are you saying this to me?"

"I just contacted class monitor. She solved the situation smoothly. Herrschers appeared in both Europe and America at the same time, but they were quickly dealt with. It’s unbelievable. You know, a few months ago, Herrschers were still considered the biggest threat to the world."

"What do you mean? You’re looking down on Herrschers? Bronya, you should be more motivated. Don't forget that you're the only one among us who hasn’t become a Herrscher yet!"

Kiana always managed to find the most peculiar angles.

Bronya fell silent for a while, then replied dryly: "But why would Bronya become a Herrscher?"

"Just... don’t you feel out of place?"

Kiana asked sincerely.

Bronya's tired brain, exhausted from all the paperwork, subconsciously thought along those lines.

"To be honest, it does feel a bit out of place... No, why should I feel out of place becoming a Herrscher? Is this supposed to be an honor?"

Bronya kicked Kiana's butt in frustration.

Kiana patted her rear dismissively and replied indifferently.

"If you don’t want to change, then don’t. I never said I looked down on you."

"You—forget it. Anyway, if you don’t have anything else to do, just go. I'll treat you to something delicious next time. Bronya needs to rest."

Bronya sighed in resignation.

First, she really couldn't beat the Herrscher of the Void. Second, she had just helped, so she didn't want to challenge her in terms of IQ.

"Wait a minute, I have another question."

"Go ahead."

"Did the monitor say when she would be back?" Kiana blinked expectantly.

Bronya shook her head in disappointment.

"I just asked, but the monitor said there's something really important happening at Mount Taixu, so she can't leave. We might have to wait a while."

"Why is that? If it's urgent, find some time to go there next time. I've been to Mount Taixu, too. It should be in this direction..."

Kiana moved her eyes as if trying to locate the direction of Mount Taixu.

The dissatisfaction and expectation on her face made Bronya feel down.

"Alas..." After a moment, Bronya sighed and said, "I have something to tell you, Kiana."

"Okay, what is it?"

"Bronya probably won't be going back to school."

"..."

In fact, as early as when Anti-Entropy had announced that Bronya was the person in charge of the East Shenzou Sea Base, Saint Freya had realized that she couldn’t return, and so had Kiana. But when Bronya said it herself, Kiana, who had always been optimistic and cheerful, suddenly had tears in her eyes.

"Ahahaha, um, I’ll go back to eat first. If there's anything else, I’ll tell you next time..."

"Kiana!" Bronya reached out and grabbed the little white-haired girl who was trying to escape. Kiana froze in place, not daring to look back.

"Bronya has her own responsibilities, just as everyone has their own duties. But this is just an early graduation. Everyone at Saint Freya is still Bronya's best friend. If any of you encounter danger, Bronya will fly over to face it with you, just like before. It’ll be the same as always; nothing will change... Please help me pass this on."

"I don't want to!"

"Kiana..."

"I won't pass it on! If you want to tell everyone, just say it yourself!"

Kiana, unwilling to face the separation, shook off Bronya’s hand and plunged into the space crack, returning to Saint Freya.

Red Queen, hidden in the online world, smiled helplessly at Kiana’s willfulness.

See? She still has this impulsive streak. I guess Angel didn’t do such a bad job after all.

Bronya stared at the empty office for a long while, then shook her head helplessly.

"Really, I need to find a time to gather with everyone as soon as possible."

[Captain Bronya, I’ve sorted out the recommended measures for today’s 89 topics. Do you want to start implementing and confirming them now?]

"Okay, show them all to me."

Bronya sat back in her office.

As the highest officer at the base, Bronya’s job now was to receive and approve important documents sent from both inside and outside the base, then hand them over to Red Queen for a second review. Red Queen would make targeted suggestions for each document based on the current situation of the base, and return them to Bronya. After Bronya confirmed the details, Red Queen would be responsible for the actual implementation.

It sounds like a lot of back-and-forth, a bit cumbersome, right?

However, compared to a process that goes from the grassroots rank up to the top, then down from the top for execution, this system is ten or even a hundred times simpler.

And except for a small amount of confidential information, most of the work is completely transparent, with every piece of data being clear and traceable. Any internal staff can see the basis for the decision and the implementation process.

"Well, your suggestions are very pertinent. I think there’s no problem. Just implement them according to these methods."

[Okay, please authorize, Bronya.]

Bronya followed the usual process: she entered her palm print, recorded the video and audio, and completed the authorization for the base commander.

Then she relaxed, leaning back in her chair, letting out a long breath.

"It's finally over."

[Thank you for your hard work, Bronya.]

"It's okay. I was supposed to be busier, but it was much easier than expected. Red Queen, when did Cocolia develop you? I didn’t know anything about it. If I think about it, the function is too powerful. It can execute government orders and even make suggestions based on actual conditions... Even I can hardly imagine how complicated this mental model must be."

【Warning: The development information of this system is highly confidential and can only be shared in an absolutely safe place, after authorization by the Cocolia executor. Any unauthorized access to development information will be regarded as a threat to the Anti-Entropy Organization. Please use this system cautiously and within regulatory requirements.】

"..."

Bronya decided to ask Cocolia about it in person next time.

【In addition, considering your high IQ and network technology rank, Bronya, Red Queen recommends that you take on some scientific research and system maintenance work.】

"Uh... I can try, but I can’t guarantee the results."

【Understood. Starting tomorrow, Red Queen will arrange relevant tasks for you. Also, the Cocolia executor set up an emergency recording three hours ago and asked to play it after 9 o’clock tonight. Do you want to play it now?】

"Mother Cocolia? Okay, go ahead."

['Bronya, it’s late, finish your work and go to bed. Don’t you want to grow taller?' —— Playback ends. Repeat?]

"...No, I’m going to bed."

Bronya had a hunch that, with Cocolia’s current behavior, she’d likely hear similar urging voices every day in the future.

"At this age, Mother Cocolia still treats me like a child..."

Bronya smiled helplessly and couldn’t help but wonder what Seele was doing now.

--------

Chapter 363: Cold-blooded Dictator

Seele didn’t do anything. She had simply entered the school that the headquarters had just started to operate and was considering her direction for further study.

After the Red Queen system was built, Angel could fully transform Anti-Entropy according to her own wishes.

One of the measures that the three elders of Anti-Entropy strongly supported was the establishment of schools at the headquarters and all branches with sufficient resources. The goal was to provide education for the children of Anti-Entropy members, as well as to take in orphans who had suffered from the Honkai and children with special talents.

Not to mention other things—just being able to provide high-quality care and education for the descendants of the martyrs has alleviated the worries of a large part of the soldiers.

As the daughter of Cocolia, now that such a school had started operating, Sin, Rosalia, Lilia, Chen Tianwen, and Seele would naturally not be able to escape the regular routine of 9 AM to 4 PM.

"Alas, I wonder how Ninti is doing?"

During the lunch break, the five sisters gathered for dinner, and Seele absent-mindedly muttered about her good sister far away.

Sin chewed her food and squinted.

"She is a thousand times more reliable than you and Bronya. Instead of worrying about her, you should think about your elective direction, genius girl!"

Her tone was slow and leisurely, like that of an old man, with a bit of sarcasm.

Since Seele had completed all the high school courses in the Sea of Quanta, she was considered one of the exceptional students who could now choose a major direction and find experts and professors in Anti-Entropy to advance to a higher rank.

As for the other three sisters, except for Chen Tianwen, who skipped to the high school department because of her intelligence, Sin, Rosalia, and Lilia were all still in the junior high school department.

And all three were considered poor students in the junior high school department—people of the same kind.

Sin claimed to be the most reliable eldest daughter in the family. However, when she took the rank test, she got the same score as Rosalia and Lilia. How could she not be angry?

Seele blinked innocently and cutely. She was a soft-hearted person who didn’t mind such attitudes. Moreover, she had just returned home after a long absence. At that moment, even Sin's impolite words seemed particularly kind to her.

"I think being a doctor might be a more suitable direction for me. I want to be someone who can help everyone. What do you think?"

[Huh? Doctor? No, no, choose an exciting combat-type direction for me! I don’t want to hold soft bandages and pills and serve patients like a servant every day!]

Black Seele stamped her feet angrily.

Seele ignored her opinion for the time being. At this moment, she wanted to hear her family’s thoughts more.

"Eh? But Rosalia thinks that Seele’s cooking is delicious. It might be better to be a chef, right? In that case, when Rosalia and Lilia debut in the future and become great idol stars, we can hire Seele as our exclusive chef!"

"Lilia thinks so too."

The Vodka sisters looked at Seele with hopeful eyes. Seele touched her face embarrassedly.

"As for cooking, I will continue to work hard. There's no need to hire anyone. As long as everyone wants to eat, I can cook anytime."

"Tianwen thinks doctors are great, come on, Seele sister!"

Chen Tianwen raised her little hand holding the spoon and nodded seriously.

Seele smiled.

"Thank you for Tianwen’s encouragement. What do you think, Sin?"

"Huh? Why are you asking me?"

"Because Sin is also family, I want to hear your thoughts."

"Tsk! Do whatever you want, our family can afford it."

Sin said nonchalantly.

She was different from these silly kids. She had a deep understanding of the status of Mother Cocolia and Ninti.

With their family configuration, let alone idols and doctors—even if someone wanted to be a Herrscher, they could still support it.

Seele blinked, her soft and cute face thoughtful, then said:

"Rosalia and Lilia want to become idols. What plans do Tianwen and Sin have? Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"Tianwen wants to be a pilot! Or a Titan designer, that's fine!"

The black-haired little girl with a ponytail said with shining eyes.

It wasn’t clear whether she was too impressed by BT when she was rescued in Manila or influenced by her brother Chen Tianwu’s fanatical love for mecha.

"Tianwen should work hard. You’re so smart; I believe you can do it. Sin, what about you?"

"Me? I don’t care, I can do anything."

Sin rolled her eyes.

I’ve said it already—our family can afford everything. Why think so much?

Anyway, she could do whatever Mother Cocolia needed in the future, and murder and arson were no problem at all. If not, she was fine being a free rich second generation, living off her old capital, urging Mother Cocolia to follow her schedule every day at home, and taking care of Rosalia and Lilia, who would definitely get into trouble all the time. There was nothing wrong with that.

Sin thought with a relaxed mood.

Ninti was becoming more and more capable, Bronya had stopped running away from home, Seele, who could take care of the family, had also returned, and even Tianwen had shown an intelligence that didn’t need to be worried about.

As the only pillar of the family, Sin had nothing to worry about now—just let it go.

Seele looked at Sin eating, smiled softly, and then couldn’t help but glance at the window.

"I wonder what Ninti is doing now..."

She didn’t mean to ignore Bronya.

It’s just that Bronya was in the safe East Shenzou Sea Base, while Ninti was heading to the battlefield against the Herrscher. Although there were the help of the leader uncle and Mother Cocolia, it was hard not to worry, right?

---

Outside the Ice City:

"Ninti, dig a hole in the mountain range to the east to facilitate the construction of railways to transport supplies. Welt, the supplies for tens of millions of people are not a small amount. I have temporarily collected a lot of things in several surrounding cities, but the transportation is not up to par for now. You can run a trip to transport them back. The situation is urgent, and sufficient supplies can alleviate the panic and sadness of these survivors. You don’t want any man-made problems after the Herrschers have been dealt with, do you?"

Outside the Ice City, in the still cold air, Welt and Ninti had just returned with the Herrscher core and saw Cocolia sitting in a temporary open-air office, discussing something with several people, while throwing two mobile phones to them.

Ninti and Welt looked at each other.

For Welt, this was a very novel experience. Who had ever ordered him, the leader of the alliance, to do hard labor on the front line before?

But Cocolia did just that. In front of a group of embarrassed production base staff, she openly and as a matter of course asked him to be a porter.

Welt didn’t feel his dignity was challenged at all. He simply nodded seriously and asked:

"No problem, I’ll go there right away. But how long can it last now? Do you need me to speed up?"

"What nonsense are you asking? Of course, the faster, the better. Don’t drag it out. Set off now!"

"Okay."

With nothing else to say, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance took his mobile phone and left quickly, following the navigation of the Red Queen.

Ninti, who had just shown her power, had nothing to say. She left a sentence, "Mom, I’m going," and flew away in the direction of the mountain that Cocolia pointed to.

The rest of the group looked at the leader moving things and Cocolia’s daughter digging a tunnel. For a while, they looked at each other, speechless.

Cocolia slapped the table unhappily.

"What are you all standing there for? They have their work, we have ours. It’s not all right after the fight with the Herrscher! There are still so many people waiting for us to arrange things properly. Next question, continue! And those who have received the task, speed up—what, is it all right after the fight? Be prepared to work overtime all night!"

"Yes!"

Cocolia’s expression was very cold, and her tone was sharp, like an emotionless dictator.

However, the members of Anti-Entropy who were busy around them suddenly became less flustered and more energetic in their work.

The setting sun was like blood, and the cold wind was biting.

The heaters scattered throughout the camp, the huge mecha tanks, long guns and cannons that could be seen everywhere, and the drones and staff who were constantly busy, gradually quieted the panicked camp.

Cocolia pulled thousands of people up and down and stayed up all night. With the assistance of the Red Queen, she did her best to handle all the details.

But for the survivors in the camp, tonight was a warm and peaceful night.

------

Chapter 364: Rita Sees the Future

The pre-war and post-war efforts in Cocolia emphasized unity, equality, and efficient collaboration, which quickly put things on the right track. With the help of the superpowers of the two generations of leaders, Ninti and Welt, an orderly living camp was soon established outside the Ice City, and everything was moving in a positive direction.

But in Europe, Yae Sakura stared at the chaotic disaster relief efforts. She wanted to pull her hair out.

Here, we need to correct the name of Schicksal.

Otto has been in business for five hundred years. Even if he is not personally interested in this, Schicksal is still reliable and will not make any human mistakes when dealing with the Honkai Eruption.

This is not an issue of personnel quality. Instead, Anti-Entropy has already implemented an intelligent management system that seamlessly connects all ranks. All work is clear, and there is no need to waste time on the process. But Schicksal is still a model of people managing people.

This is a generation gap in organizational methods, not a problem of people. But with hundreds of thousands of people waiting to be fed, if we are slow, countless problems will arise.

Just when Yae Sakura was frowning, the Herrscher of Maid, who was very useful in every sense, appeared:

"S-class Valkyrie Yae Sakura, Rita passes on the order of the Archbishop."

"Rita... cough, Yae Sakura is here. Please give your orders, Archbishop."

"Under the heroic efforts of the Valkyries at all ranks, the Herrscher of the Rock has been defeated. This is the first time that Schicksal has suppressed the Herrscher with such a small cost and in such a short time, which is of epoch-making significance. Schicksal will remember the contributions of all the heroes who fought for this and grant them corresponding honors and rewards.

However, although the Herrscher has been defeated, the disaster relief work is still a heavy responsibility.

Yae Sakura, now the plenipotentiary representative of the Archbishop, will preside over all matters at the disaster relief site, and orders S-class Valkyries Rita and Delta to assist with all their efforts. I hope you will do your best, and I hope that all of the people in the Sky will unite to bring a successful end to this Honkai Eruption.

Fight for all the beauty of the world!

I, Otto Apocalypse, pay my highest respects to all the colleagues in the Sky!

That's all."

The beautiful and sonorous voice was transmitted far away at the scene.

"Yae Sakura, on behalf of all the colleagues in the Sky, accepts the order! I will not disappoint the Archbishop!"

Yae Sakura saluted with her hand on her chest and said solemnly.

The solemn atmosphere lasted for three seconds.

Then Yae Sakura raised her head and rubbed her temples.

"That is to say, Mr. Otto is going to slack off at the headquarters..."

"Ahem! It should be said that the Archbishop trusts Lady Sakura wholeheartedly, and for Lady Sakura, this is also a rare rehearsal, isn't it?" Rita said with a smile, her tone natural and charming.

In terms of political sensitivity, Rita is the most skilled S-rank Valkyrie.

Obviously, Otto's various arrangements for Yae Sakura in recent days had made this strongest maid aware of something.

Rita didn't have any objections. In her opinion, the only ones who were originally qualified to succeed the Archbishop were Theresa, who had a good family background, and Durandal, who was gifted. However, these two people had their own shortcomings, making it difficult for anyone not to worry about the future of Schicksal.

Now, it was also a good thing that a seemingly more perfect Yae Sakura had appeared. After all, everyone had always gotten along well, and it was believed that the new official would not affect the good workplace relationship after taking office.

'Even with the current close relationship, if Lady Sakura takes office, Rita is very likely to be the successor of Lady Amber, or at least she will be on the same rank as Lady Amber and become the right-hand of the new archbishop. At that time... it will be very easy to arrange Lady Theresa and Lady Durandal to work in a closer place, won't it?'

Rita smiled particularly charmingly.

Yae Sakura haven't reacted yet and said subconsciously. "What rehearsal... Wait? You mean that? No way? Mr. Otto is not really serious!?"

"Haha! Then you can only ask Lady Sakura to confirm with Lord Otto in person, Rita dares not speculate~~"

Seeing Yae Sakura's panic, Rita showed a flawless smile.

After a moment, Yae Sakura sighed and shook her head.

"Ah! Forget it, let's talk about that later. Disaster relief work is urgent now. It's great that you can come. I'll be bold and issue you an order."

"Yes!" x2

S-rank Valkyrie Rita Rossweisse, although her combat power has not kept up with the version, is a master in internal affairs management.

Additionally, she has a strong motivating effect after all, the Valkyrie Corps is also called the Maid Corps. There are more than one or two Valkyries who gush over Rita's beautiful photos late at night.

To be honest, if Angel didn't have too many choices, she would probably not escape the hunting of the maid skirt and black silk long legs.

Ahem, in short, she is a very useful player.

After thinking for a while, Yae Sakura quickly assigned tasks to Rita and also pushed the reluctant Delta out to work.

"I~won't~go~~"

"You work hard, I will transfer Wendy to help today!"

"Please give instructions, Lady Sakura!"

In front of Rita and the Valkyries, Miss Wind Herrscher highlighted a weakness that was clear and easy to grasp.

In this way, although the disaster relief work on the Herrscher of Rock was slow, Yae Sakura finally handled it smoothly with reference to the mature experience of Anti-Entropy.

...

"The Herrscher of Ice and Rock have been successfully suppressed, and the casualties... add up to only one city, less than one million people."

While feeding Mobius in her laboratory, Angel suddenly looked up, paused, and then said nonchalantly.

Mobius: "Pufffft!"

Elysia: "Puffffft!"

Angel served drinks to the two of them at the right time. They wiped their mouths and drank water in sync. Then Elysia leaned forward and put her arm around Angel's shoulder.

"So fast? And just this little, I'm not saying that less sacrifice is bad, but it's really..."

"I said, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are not weak; they have the ability to suppress two Herrschers."

"Is that so... Is that so... That's great, you will definitely succeed, I have full confidence in you!" Elysia smiled brightly, genuinely happy.

It's not that she ignored the dead.

But she saw greater hope.

The joy and trust in Elysia's eyes were so pure that Angel's face turned red, and she said in a mosquito-like voice:

"(////X////) Hmm..."

"Elysia, leave quickly after you finish eating; this is not your hall, don't delay our experiment."

The bright and flawless girl and the shy girl formed a picture with a famous painting composition. But in short, Mobius was angry when she saw it.

She doesn't know which side to eat.

She was jealous.

Elysia blinked, then took the unresponsive Angel into her arms. She turned around, smiled even more brightly, and said to Mobius: "But Angel obviously likes me very much, and Mobius likes me too, why should I leave?"

"I don't like you, and Angel hates you too. Get out of here." Mobius crossed her arms, raised her head, and looked at Elysia with contempt.

Well, it was the kind of contemptuous look that everyone would say, "Please continue to reward me," when seeing it.

---

Chapter 365: It's Just... Ridiculous...

"No... I don't hate it..."

Angel suddenly gently grabbed the corner of Elysia's clothes and whispered.

Mobius's arrogant expression froze.

Elysia looked down at Angel in surprise.

"Although I have too much flesh, and it would be dangerous if I were a little more obese, although I'm not very smart, although I always give people a headache, although..."

"Angel, you don't have to say it if you don't want to, because Miss Elf is about to cry."

"But... but I don't hate it, I like, I like Elysia."

Angel suddenly looked up and gazed at Elysia seriously with clear and flawless purple gemstone eyes—sincerely, I liked her since my last life, and now, I like her even more.

"Doki!"

Elysia covered her heart and showed a happy smile, with no regrets in this life.

Mobius was so angry that her face turned red.

"Get out of here!"

The mechanical tentacles flew away like arrows. Of course, it was impossible to beat Elysia, who ranked second in both the number and strength rankings of the Flamechasers.

The beautiful pink, Elf-like figure turned flexibly in the air, landed gracefully like a dance, and then left the space with a sweet smile.

"Dear Mobius, see you tonight~~"

"Go away!"

"Bang!"

The mechanical tentacles poked a hole in the ground.

And it just passed by, not far above Angel's head.

Mobius looked darkly at Angel, whose face was red.

"You..."

"I also... I like Mobius..."

Angel added delicately with an attitude of equal treatment.

Mobius still had a dark face. The mechanical tentacles slowly retracted under the suspension seat device, and then he said in a hard tone.

"Don't give me that. Do you think I care about such meaningless things? Since you have decided to pursue infinity, you'd better learn from that pink fat woman. It's not good for you to stick to some messy things!"

"But I can't just pursue infinity for the sake of infinity."

"Huh?"

"Doctor, there must be a reason that makes me feel very happy and full of expectations when I think about it, right?"

Angel blinked seriously.

Mobius paused and said with a wooden face:

"Then what is your reason? Don't tell me it's a beautiful girl, the same as that pink idiot."

"It's not such a superficial thing!"

Angel stood up, put her hands on her hips, and refuted righteously.

There are so many beautiful girls. What's so strange about pursuit of beauty?

Of course, the best beautiful girls can make Angel fight for it!

Ahem, she was just kidding. Actually, half of it was for the people she had already put in her heart. The other half was that the higher dimensions was indeed very attractive to Angel.

"I'm serious, Doctor, you have to believe me!"

"Tsk! What does it have to do with me? Anyway, once the Chimera gene is successfully activated, even if you don't pursue infinity, that body will drag you to infinity... I'll say, at least, it will go farther than Kevin."

Mobius was very confident in the masterpiece that combined the essence of the two eras, but she still changed her words. After all, infinity is too far away, and such a conclusion cannot be made easily.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense! A thousand empty words, it's better to move forward in practice. Go, continue to use your power to fuse the materials, let me see how far the new plan can reach!"

"Yes, Doctor!"

The two of them gathered in the dazzling pile of materials again, one to fuse, the other to observe and think, and pieced together the perfect creature they both expected, bit by bit.

"Speaking of which, can your Domination Theater connect the Elysian Realm and the real world?"

"Well, I can observe the information of the real world here through the power of the Herrscher."

"It seems that the Legion Herrschers of the current civilization are indeed very different. Power plunder, space, clones, spirit...hiss, it's a bit like a low-profile version of Finality."

"Doctor, do you have any ideas?"

Angel turned her head and looked at Mobius for advice.

Mobius narrowed her eyes.

"After the experiment is successful, go out and get all the Herrscher cores you can get, and integrate them into the Chimera test body. The Herrscher core itself is a highly concentrated Honkai energy crystal, not to mention that you can plunder the power in it. Such stimulation will definitely make the Chimera gene undergo unprecedented, strange changes!"

"Doctor, I think so too."

"Hehe! That means you have slowly caught up with the genius's thinking and have made progress."

"I see, you are worthy of being the doctor, the doctor is so amazing!"

Angel—Flattering Fart— came online again, praising sincerely, with starry eyes that cooperated very well with the performance.

Mobius unconsciously straightened her chest and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Wait! I told you not to talk about these messed up words!"

"But there is a problem."

"Say it!"

"After I absorb the core, how should I show my body to the doctor for examination?"

Angel asked as usual while seriously integrating the materials.

In the laboratory, there was only the strange sound of various materials blending together, and no movement at all.

"Doctor?"

"Didn't you decide long ago? Even if we don't agree, at least Vill-V and I will definitely be dragged out by force and continue to work hard for you, right?"

"That's what I said..."

"You really admit it!?"

Mobius sat on the floating seat and couldn't help but kick Angel's shoulder.

No shoes.

The bare white and tender feet did not have the peculiar smell of mortals, but a fragrance that was consistent with Mobius herself, charming and seductive but seemed to carry danger.

Angel grinned, it was a reward.

"Doctor, I have never concealed my thoughts. I originally wanted to take you away. I told Elysia."

"Don't come on! Telling that fat woman with a confused mind is no different from not telling her at all?"

"Oh. Anyway, Doctor, come with me, okay?"

Angel stretched out her little hand and tugged at the corner of Mobius's clothes, begging in a soft and coquettish tone.

"Doki!"

Mobius covered her chest and floated out silently.

Mobius now states in advance that Mobius is not interested in human cubs and doesn't have that kind of preference. She just likes small animals more.

But in Mobius' eyes, the cute and begging Angel clearly grew trembling cat ears and a fluffy cat tail—a fusion of two ultimate cute things, human cubs and small animals, which even the immortal snake can't stand.

"Don't use your power to do these boring things!" Mobius kicked over, but Angel caught it with her hand and pinched it subconsciously.

Yes, that was not Mobius's illusion, but Angel really gave herself real cat ears and a cat tail at this time.

Highlighting a strategy that was done very well!

Angel pinched Mobius's little feet and lowered her head in disappointment.

"It seems that the doctor doesn't agree very much."

"Humph! I'm not a frivolous and ignorant idiot like Elysia!"

"Then we can only implement plan B and move the entire Elysian Realm into my domination theater. This is also good, so that I can come to play with Sister Aponia and Sister Griseo every day."

Angel nodded with a look of no concern, looking serious as if she had made up her mind.

Mobius twitched her mouth—mainly because she couldn't pull her feet out, and she didn't know why the kid was holding so tightly.

"Aren't you afraid that Kevin will kill you? I mean Kevin in the real world?"

"Anyway, we have a grudge, so it doesn't matter."

"... Enough! Don't delay my experiment because of such an insignificant topic!"

For Mobius, leaving the Elysian Realm is to pursue her infinity.

But isn't the experiment in front of her also a path to infinity?

Besides, the experiment is just around the corner, and the results are about to be seen. Compared with this, whether or not to leave the Elysian Realm is really insignificant.

"Also, let go!"

"Oh."

Angel disappointedly let go of the beautiful jade in her hand, which was very attractive in shape, color, and breath.

The following process was somewhat silent, and both parties were doing their own work. Except for Mobius fine-tuning some fusion details based on actual data, there was no extra communication.

Until the end of the day's work, Angel went to the hall to make dinner.

Only then did Mobius sigh with mixed feelings.

Devil scientist, Witch in the Serpent nest, Alien that everyone avoids...

Even in a place like the Elysian Realm, where only companions exist, only Elysia will take the initiative to approach her, let alone other places.

Now, there is a child who shares the same ideals as herself, looking at her with longing eyes...

"It's just... ridiculous..."

Mobius looked at the semi-finished experimental subject soaking in the can, and his vertical pupils, which were always cold-blooded like a venomous Serpent, rippled with confused waves.

-----

Chapter 366: Vill-V Doesn't Know

"Look at this majestic appearance, this intelligent design, this incomparable power and firepower, and this countless perfect structures! Although the Kevin Killer MK 667 can only be shown through blueprints, I believe you can clearly recognize its greatness, right?"

"So, who could create such a masterpiece? That's right, it's me! The youngest owner of Helixcraft, the developer of Kevin Killer, the Magic king of the Twilight Era, the one who overlooks the stars, and—Vill-V, who loves making 'genius little garbage'!"

"Hmm, today's food smells really good~~"

The engineer girl stood amid a pile of blueprints, holding a spoon in her mouth and nodded happily, causing the overly large object under her neck to ripple like water waves.

Angel: "(º﹃º) Slurp!"

The phrase "genius little garbage" is not known for being small, but Vill-V certainly is.

Angel couldn't help herself; she hugged Vill-V, buried her face in the extremely delicate and soft paradise, and moaned happily.

"Ah~~"

"Eh? Eh!!"

Vill-V froze in place with her rice bowl, not knowing how to react.

Whether she was a social butterfly or socially anxious, each of them was essentially a pure and flawless girl.

Of course, she would be shy with such intimacy.

But she didn’t hate Angel, so after blushing for a moment, she quickly got used to the contact and turned to gently touch Angel's little head on her chest, smiling with care.

"What's wrong? You seem troubled."

"Well... I want to take Dr. Mobius away from the Elysian Realm, but she doesn't seem very happy about it. What should I do? I don't want to force her."

Angel hugged Vill-V’s soft waist, lifted her little face toward the giant soft figure, and asked with a wooden expression.

Vill-V blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Even if Dr. Mobius and Sister Vill-V don’t want to, I can still move the Elysian Realm into the Domination Theater and keep you by my side... But forcing it wouldn’t be good."

Angel looked unhappy.

It wasn’t the same as when she first arrived.

Back then, she couldn’t control anything. When she met Kiana who came to arrest her, Angel started fighting without hesitation, beating the white-haired girl black and blue—though it wasn’t shameful to survive.

Things were a bit better now. If possible, Angel didn’t want to force anyone.

"Wait a minute. You want to take me with you?"

"In fact, you don’t have to leave. The Elysian Realm will be moved to the Domination Theater. Even if you don't go out, we’ll still see each other every day!"

Angel gave a thumbs-up, showing her wise eyes.

Vill-V’s mouth twitched. "Ah... then what are you worried about?"

"Well, I just want to know if Sister Vill-V agrees with me doing this. I want to pack you up, take you away, and then come to you for help every day."

"But, even if you ask, I can’t answer."

"Hmm?" Angel tilted her head.

Her cat ears also twitched.

Right, when you act like a spoiled child, you need all the accessories in place to achieve the best effect.

Vill-V appears to have better tolerance for Angel's cat ears than Mobius. She calmly touched them.

"Conductor, Expert, Magician—any of these is fine. We're just a part of Vill-V’s thoughts. So even if you ask me, I can't give you the answer that Vill-V would give."

"...That's too sly! How can I ask like that?"

Angel was momentarily speechless.

Then she hugged Vill-V tightly, rubbing her chest randomly.

"Hehehe~~"

Vill-V felt the itch, her face turned red again, and she couldn’t stop laughing.

After a while, the two of them sat on the gear platform at the highest point of the spiral factory, looking down at the magnificent view of clouds flowing like the sea below.

Below them were the countless materials and facilities provided by Angel, and Vill-V was building a massive mechanical structure to test her design for the super mecha.

"Although I don’t know Vill-V’s answer yet, it seems that the Sister Vill-V in front of me doesn’t actually disagree, right?"

"Little Angel, I’m sorry, but I still can't answer you. However, it's not impossible to ask. If I can face the real Vill-V, she should be able to represent everyone and give you Vill-V’s answer."

"... It's not good to promise things that are far-off, and I'm still young, which makes it even worse."

"Hahaha! You're really funny, little Angel!"

Vill-V reached out, pinched Angel’s face, and happily swung her long legs in suspenders and black stockings.

Angel puffed up her cheeks. "Forget it, if you don’t want to talk, then don’t. I can ask next time."

"Sigh, but Mobius actually disagrees? Logically, shouldn’t she be the one who wants to leave the Elysian Realm the most? It doesn’t make sense!"

"She didn’t say she disagrees."

"Ah, then I understand."

Vill-V pinched her chin and nodded confidently.

They were old acquaintances—how could Vill-V not know Mobius's character?

Mobius might pretend to look down on everyone, and maybe she really did look down on most people, but as long as someone approached with good intentions, she would find it difficult to resist. And if it was someone who could understand her, it would be a guaranteed success.

Back then, for Klein, Mobius almost overturned half of Fire Moth.

How could she resist Angel’s invitation now?

It must be out of her sudden self-esteem or something like that.

Vill-V showed a sly smile.

"In that case, I have a good idea. You can ask Elysia to help you act out a play, something like 'Mobius, as the Elf lady from the Elysian Realm, I will not let you go out to harm the world.' Believe me, Elysia will definitely agree happily. Then, Mobius will come to you, accept your invitation, and leave the Elysian Realm confidently, showing off in front of Elysia. It will absolutely work!"

After all, Mobius’s nemesis was Elysia. For Mobius, seeing Elysia suffer a setback was an irresistible temptation.

Angel blinked, thought for a moment, then suddenly realized and raised her hands to applaud.

"Papapapa!"

"As expected of Sister Vill-V, she’s really cunning... woo!!!" Then Vill-V held her cheek and rubbed it vigorously.

In Helixcraft, the joyful laughter of the engineer girl and the unexpected sobbing of the little girl intertwined into a warm symphony that made people smile.

Chapter 367: Angel - I'm Too Stupid

"Bang!!!"

The second explosion in Mobius' laboratory.

Klein fell while repairing the data turbulence. Fortunately, Angel took over in time and performed a full set of nursing procedures, which prevented the double collapse of the Elysian Realm and the Maintainer of the Elysian Realm.

In short,

"Failed again, I'm sorry, Doctor."

"I told you it's not your fault. Don't put all the pressure on yourself. How much do you weigh?"

Mobius poked Angel's head, then rubbed her hands and eagerly began the data comparison work for the two experiments.

The success or failure of one or two attempts is not important at all. In Mobius' eyes, since progress is being made, there's nothing to worry about. She will succeed in the end. It's just a matter of time.

Angel touched the forehead that had been poked and sighed.

Project Chimera is indeed a miracle among miracles. Kevin succeeded at once, so he is qualified to be called "the savior." In a sense, this also describes his luck, like the chosen son of God, right?

However, even such a miracle couldn't help him lead the previous era to continue.

Therefore, surpassing Kevin in all aspects has become an achievement that Angel must accomplish. Otherwise, it will be absolutely impossible to open up the future for this era.

"But it can't be achieved in a short time..."

Angel sat on the ground, holding her chin with both hands, and sighed again.

Looking at Dr. Mobius's enthusiastic expression, like a puzzle lover who bought a limited-edition luxury super puzzle gift box, it was clear that the result would not come so quickly.

And if Mobius doesn't start, relying only on Angel's idea. Honestly, Angel understands. But ordinary doctors know Newton's equations, and Newton knows Newton's equations. Can that be the same thing?

To continue advancing, they still have to rely on Mobius' guidance.

Angel can't do it, just like in mathematics: if you can't do it, you can't do it.

"A dull mortal like me is indeed different from a true genius."

An-Thousands of Thread-Scroll King-Mecha Lolita-Multiple Herrscher Power User-The Strongest Manipulator in the Real World-gel lamented and lamented her mediocre "dull" mind.

"Plop!"

Elysia who was passing by, dropped the biscuits in her hand to the ground unconsciously.

...

Project Chimera was stuck again.

Of course, this was also expected by the Angels.

There has only been one Kevin in 50,000 years, and the current goal is not even to copy him but to surpass him. It would be a miracle if it could be so easy.

Fortunately, the Angels in the real world still have a direction to work toward.

"What the hell? Sky's Final Sound? What?"

Faced with Cocolia's sudden question, Tesla on the other side of the screen widened her eyes in confusion.

Einstein also had a wooden expression and a puzzled look.

Cocolia sat in the conference tent at the disaster relief site, with her arms folded across her chest. "The Fourth Divine Key, the large satellite made by the former civilization with the core of the Wind Herrscher, is said to have the effect of repairing the ecological damage caused by the Honkai Eruption. Schicksal once used it to repair the devastating environmental disaster after the Siberian War, and the former civilization even used it to repair the planet riddled with holes after the End War... The Sky's Final Sound is the name I gave it, since the former civilization doesn't seem to have officially named it."

"Oh, you're looking for that... Is it to repair the damage caused by the Ice Herrscher?"

"Yes. Although the Herrscher is dead, the ice she left behind is a creation with a huge amount of Honkai energy. Not only will it not melt in a short time, but it will continue to release Honkai energy, turning this area into an icy Honkai beast paradise. Whether or not we build a city near the original site, we can't let this threat continue to exist."

Cocolia said earnestly.

This is indeed an irresistible starting point.

The two smart people marked as key protected objects by Angel looked at each other, then Tesla scratched her head and said embarrassedly.

"Well, even if you say so, we can't take it out?"

"Huh? In the alien incident of Murata back then, didn't the leader take away the satellite-shaped Divine Key? According to my investigation, after that, Schicksal lost control of this thing." Cocolia frowned.

Tesla took a strategic step back and took a breath. "Fk! You didn't plant a spy among the three of us, how can you find out these things!"

But no one cared about her stupidity.

Einstein explained to Cocolia with the intellect and reason of a reliable adult.

"The fourth Divine Key...that is, the Sky's Final Sound you mentioned was indeed separated from the hands of Schicksal, and there was a short period when it was almost in our hands. But the matter was very complicated at the time. As far as the result is concerned, it is still floating in the sky, and no one can lock it, let alone confirm how many functions it still retains."

Cocolia paused and nodded as if she understood something.

No wonder there was no more information about this thing later.

No one could get it, and they couldn't even confirm its status, which can explain its disappearance in the story.

Cocolia thought for a while, and her eyes suddenly flashed: "Wait, I thought of something. The Coral Island 'Galaxy Ladder' Project, the space elevator Project... This is a rare plan that was secretly supported by both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy before the World Serpent emerged!"

"As expected of you, you actually noticed it. You are right. The reason why both of us secretly support that plan is that we hope to expand our vision and tentacles in outer space and recapture this magical space divine key. There must be a way first, and then we can show our magical powers. Therefore, both parties have reached an unwritten tacit understanding."

Einstein smiled. Then she said with great emotion: "But I didn't expect so many strange things to happen in the past one or two years. Everyone's focus has shifted again and again, and now no one cares much about a mere Divine Key satellite. If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot about it."

Cocolia was speechless.

Is this still my fault? It turns out that you didn't care about it in the original line!

...Oh, originally there would be a series of complicated events that would divert everyone's attention, right?

That's fine, then it can't be said that it's Angel's fault, right?

Cocolia thought for a while and  made some kind of decision.

Then, the two doctors saw her reach into the abyss in front of her chest, take out a mobile phone, operate it for a while, and then "slap" it on the table. Then, she pointed at the table with an expressionless face.

"Hey, can you get the satellite back for me?"

------

368: It's possible

Einstein looked closely and saw a photo of Welt's hand simulating a black hole on the phone. After thinking for a while, she said:

"Previously, Yang was too weak, and we must not let Otto notice this weakness, so we never considered asking him to drag the satellite back directly. Now, we don't have that concern, and he can indeed try. But after all, he is only one person, and space is too vast."

In short, there is little hope.

"Pah!"

Cocolia casually slapped another mobile phone on the table.

"Then, we can really retrieve it?"

Einstein looked again and saw the photo of Ninti summoning a giant machine god.

"You mean to use Ninti's power as the Herrscher of Reason to materialize a large number of detection satellites at once and directly search for the floating Divine Key? Hiss, this idea is feasible if we spend a little more time. But Ninti is still a child. How can we let her break into outer space alone? No, I don't agree!"

Tesla, beside her, also nodded in agreement.

That's right, what a joke?

Forget about Welt, but how can Ninti go to such a distant and dangerous place in outer space?

Cocolia frowned, and this time she didn't take out a new phone. Instead, she took the phone with Ninti's photo and slapped it on the phone with Welt's photo.

"Pah!" Then she crossed her arms, leaned back, and said calmly with an arrogant and confident posture: "This, plus this, can you get it back for me?"

"Hiss... Your Excellency's opinion is great, I admire it!" Einstein looked at Cocolia on the screen with a solemn expression.

Next to her, Tesla blinked blankly for a moment and gestured, "6."

...

Welt had just finished moving some things.

As soon as he entered the tent, he heard Cocolia, who was in a commander's posture, say seriously: "You have a new job."

"Ah? Okay, just say it."

Mr. Alliance Leader did not notice anything wrong. In front of the executor Cocolia, he looked like a lackey who was ready to listen to instructions at any time.

Cocolia pointed to the chair opposite and motioned for him to sit down. Welt did so without hesitation. Then Cocolia took out the mineral water that was distributed equally to the whole camp, grabbed a paper cup, and poured a glass of water for Welt.

Now, Welt felt something was really wrong.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I feel a little..."

Welt was hesitant to speak.

It was hard to say. Seeing the always proud and self-centered Cocolia being so polite, he, as the leader of the alliance, felt like Emperor Xian of Han kneeling to see Prime Minister Cao—scary, right?

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to abdicate or anything. It's not the right time yet."

"Oh... wait, what do you mean, 'not the right time yet'?"

"Don't worry about the details, let's talk about business."

Cocolia frowned, with a condemning expression of "Why are you so ignorant?"

Welt held back for a moment, then gave up and said: "You say."

"Dealing with the Honkai Eruption requires two legs. The first leg is to kill the disobedient Herrscher with a 'click.' The second leg is to repair the environment polluted by the Herrscher with a 'whoosh,' and dispel the Honkai left by the Herrscher. Now, our second leg, 'Kucha,' is broken."

Cocolia put her round and slender white legs on the table with a "bang" and explained expressionlessly.

A very vivid explanation.

Especially the interesting descriptions like "click" and "whoosh," which condensed the complex problem into a simple difficulty for elementary school students to understand.

Welt pressed his eyebrows helplessly, and then, in line with Cocolia's rare performance, said: "So, how can I connect this leg?"

"Go to outer space and retrieve a satellite."

Cocolia put her legs down with satisfaction and said seriously at the same time.

Welt showed a puzzled expression.

Cocolia shook her head and sighed with a headache, saying.

"But outer space is still too vast. No matter how you think about it, it won't be found in a short time. Besides, if it is pulled back, it may need to be repaired and studied. It is unknown how long it will take before it can be used. It seems we have to ask Schicksal. Since the Wind Divine Key cannot be used, will the Wind Herrscher have similar abilities?"

"So, the satellite you are talking about is the Fourth Divine Key!"

Welt understood immediately.

He nodded repeatedly.

"Indeed, the Fourth Divine Key has the function of repairing the environment. If it can be found and used, the two cities that were destroyed this time can quickly recover, and Nagazora City, which has been shrouded in Honkai energy, can also recover. Even handling the Honkai Eruption in the future will be much easier. Well, I have to go."

Welt thought and spoke to himself, soon carrying this heavy burden on his shoulders.

Then, he showed a solemn expression again:

"It is true that the Fourth Divine Key cannot be found and used so quickly, but will Otto agree to let us seek Delta's help?"

"I don't think it will be a big problem."

"What do you mean?"

"First, we are both on guard against the invincible World Serpent, and we have common demands. Now the relationship is not so tense. Second, the layout of Schicksal in space is not as good as our Anti-Entropy. Their space technology is not as advanced as ours, and they don't have the right abilities like you and Ninti, so they can never compete with us for the Fourth Divine Key.

It's just asking Delta to dispel the Honkai energy, which is not a big request. As long as Otto still wants to cooperate with us or wants to get a share of the Fourth Divine Key, he will nod and agree." Cocolia said confidently.

Yae Sakura is one of us.

Even Delta is one of us.

Angie couldn't think of the possibility of not being able to convince Mr. Otto.

……

“Ah~~”

Delta sneezed, a slow, stick-reading sneeze.

Wendy was pushing the wheelchair as a supervisor heard this, lowered her head and said helplessly: “What’s wrong? What are you up to?”

“No, it’s just that someone is thinking about me.”

“…Did your Thousand Winds get new information again?”

“Don’t think you are so omnipotent. My brain is so small that I can’t monitor the world all the time. When someone is thinking about me, the patrolling Thousand Winds will convey some simple emotions to let me know.” Delta spread her hands and said lazily.

Wendy rolled her eyes.

“That’s also amazing. I still can’t imagine how you, a salted fish who would rather lie down than sit, can develop such a strange skill?” Wendy leaned over, poked Delta’s face, and commented incredulously.

Then Delta raised her head and kissed Wendy on the forehead.

"Eh!?"

Wendy was startled and pushed the wheelchair in her hand out subconsciously.

It happened to be at the edge of the deep pit created by the Herrscher of the Rock.

So, the busy Valkyries around saw Delta swooping down with the wheelchair and disappearing in an instant.

"Ah~~"

Accompanied by a calm and trembling scream.

Wendy: "Σ (っ °Д °;)っDelta!!!"

------

Chapter 369: Wendy Feels Badly Taught

Wendy swore that she really didn’t mean it this time.

Last time, it was out of frustration from disappointment, but now the relationship had heated up to a rank where it could be exposed at any time, and that kind of laziness had a different taste in her eyes.

She still complained out of habit, but in her heart, Wendy actually didn’t dislike it.

"But, anyway, we have to go down, so it doesn't matter, right?"

After reacting, Wendy twisted her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and looked down into the deep pit.

"Huh!"

Then, the strong wind from the bottom of the pit blew into her face.

"Huh!?"

Wendy quickly covered her eyes and stepped back.

And this was just the beginning.

The upward wind was strong at first, but soon it intensified to the point that it tore the surrounding atmosphere and made a violent whistle. The clouds in the sky were also blown away by the wind coming from the ground.

The Valkyries around the giant pit felt the thinning air and the tremors of the ground.

But aside from that, the wind, strong enough to tear steel, did not bring any more discomfort.

It showed how superb Delta's control was.

"It's coming! It's working! The amount of Honkai energy gathered in the pit is decreasing!"

Many temporary monitoring devices had been arranged around the deep pit, and the Valkyries operating them were all excited.

When they first heard that Yae Sakura had arranged for Delta to dispel the Honkai energy, these Valkyries, who were deeply involved in the field of technology, were skeptical.

If it were really that convenient, would Nagazora City still be a dead city where Honkai beasts roam?

Siberia had the self-sacrifice of Saint Cecilia, who used her life to purify the Honkai energy in the core area. Even then, Schicksal had to use secret devices to regulate it for many years, slowly eliminating the potential risks in the entire area.

Could a Herrscher of Wind really fix the problems left over from the Honkai Eruption?

Even though Yae Sakura now represented the Archbishop, they couldn't believe it.

However, the data did not lie.

The data fed back by the monitoring facilities showed that this strong wind was indeed removing the accumulated Honkai energy quickly, and the effect was amazing.

"Doesn't this mean that, in the future, the Honkai Eruption won’t leave environmental legacy issues!?"

They were excited not just about the dissipation of Honkai energy in a mere city, but also about the future threats.

At present, few knew that there would only be thirteen Herrschers before the end would come. In the eyes of most Valkyries, Herrschers would continue to appear, and victory was still a distant goal.

In this case, someone who could deal with the problems left over from the Honkai Eruption could ensure that mankind’s living space would not continue to shrink and fragment as the battle went on.

This was a strategic ability, even more important than the absolute strength needed to crush a Herrscher head-on.

After all, Herrschers could still be fought with the number of Valkyries, but how could they solve the remaining environmental problems?

Suddenly, everyone became more hopeful about Delta, the artificial Herrscher, Yae Sakura’s foresight, and the future of mankind!

"Boom!"

Let’s not talk about the excitement of others.

For the first time, Delta showed her unfathomable depth and improved her own value attributes, which naturally would not end in a whimper.

The raging wind blew upward for half a day without any sign of slowing, proving that Delta was full of power.

Then, as the values in the various Honkai monitoring facilities fell below the safety line, the wind began to cover the earth.

The ground rumbled, and the terrain that had been messed up by the Herrscher of Rock was reshaped, moved, and repaired under the power of the wind, like great magic visible to the eye.

After half a day, the bottomless abyss had disappeared, leaving only clean, flat land. The breeze blew slowly, carrying the faint scent of soil.

In addition, the original chaos and the terrifying Honkai energy were all gone.

"Ha~~"

Delta floated in the air, yawned, and then her body automatically fell.

Wendy had already leapt a long distance and arrived at the new ground not far from Delta.

‘Are you here to pick me up? You still have a conscience.’

Delta folded her hands over her lower abdomen, closed her eyes, and fell peacefully, waiting for Wendy to catch her in a princess hug.

"Pah!"

Then, she hit the ground.

"?"

Delta opened her eyes in confusion and looked to the side. Wendy was squatting not far away, sniffing the soil as if trying to determine the concentration of Honkai energy in it.

Soon, a group of technical Valkyries entered the scene, observing and sampling everywhere, excitedly discussing with Wendy.

Delta puffed out her cheeks: "(＃￣～￣＃)!"

However, Wendy still didn’t care about the lonely Miss Herrscher of the Wind. She was still busy confirming various details with the Valkyries in the technical field.

After a while, Wendy left the group with a relieved smile.

She approached Delta, squatted down, poked her cheek—now puffed up like a hamster’s—and asked: "Where’s your wheelchair?"

"I just dispelled the Honkai energy and filled a hole as big as a city. Now your first question is about the wheelchair!?"

"I didn’t say anything bad. Just try not to waste it. Okay, okay, the Honkai Eruption is a serious matter. You made such a big move, don’t I have to understand whether it’s good or bad? If you mess around for a long time and the effect isn’t good, how unfair would that be?" Wendy explained patiently.

Her intent was still to prevent Delta from making things worse, so that the praise would not turn into criticism.

Delta’s dissatisfaction faded away.

Then Wendy reached out again and picked Delta up with the princess hug she had been waiting for.

Delta’s anger subsided. She leaned against Wendy’s gradually expanding soft spot, rubbed it, and showed a satisfied expression of a salted fish.

Wendy was a little amused.

"You’re the S-rank ace of Schicksal, can’t you be a little more majestic?"

"Majesty? How much can that thing be worth? Is it useful with my power?"

"... Makes sense."

Without power, creating majesty out of thin air is meaningless.

With power, no matter how lazy and willful you are, people will still flatter you.

"I always feel like I’ve been corrupted by you after being with you for so long."

Wendy suddenly said with resentment.

Thinking about herself a year ago, she had been a model Valkyrie with a good family background—talented, hardworking, and had earned the qualification of an A-class Valkyrie at a young age. Then, when she heard that the artificial Herrscher experiment was short on experimenters, she straightened her back and took it on without waiting for others to explain it clearly.

That had been pure, selfless, and righteous.

Now, in order to make Delta’s workplace smoother, she occasionally doubted the Archbishop’s identity…

"It’s all your fault!"

"Isn’t this good? It means you’ve become smarter."

"The smarter I get, the more you can lie around, right?"

"Hey!"

Delta knocked her head and smiled cutely.

Wendy was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet:

"What does ‘hey’ mean!?"

---------

Chapter 370: Otto's Student

"Alas, the Honkai energy that can cover a city, after spreading to the sky, the earth, the ocean, and even penetrating into the interior of the planet and outer space, is just a little bit of insignificant dust. Nature itself is the best digester."

"...Why are you explaining this suddenly?"

"I'm afraid you'll get angry again, so I quickly changed the subject!"

Delta hugged Wendy's neck and said with a smile.

There was no flattery in the whole process.

But every word showed that she held Wendy in her heart.

Wendy may not have understood the meaning directly, but as a girl, the feeling of being valued instinctively made her happy.

"Hmph! You are smart. Don't worry, the thermos is still in our tent, and your wolfberry tea is fine."

"That's good. So when are we going home?"

"We have only arrived so far, and you want to leave so badly?"

"I don't want to be ordered around, I just want to be with Wendy."

Delta played a straight ball, swinging her white silk legs leisurely.

Wendy was red, but she didn't sink. She just blushed and whispered.

"Don't say such explicit words outside!"

From "don't say" to "don't say it outside," you see, things always spiral upward.

Wendy finally calmed down her fluttering heart and arrived at Yae Sakura's tent, ready to report Delta's work results and take credit for her.

Then, Yae Sakura sat there in a commander's posture and said in a calm and oppressive voice: "Delta, you have a new job."

It looked very real.

Delta blinked, leaned on Wendy's chest, and said lazily: "No."

"Double the year-end bonus?"

"I have enough money to spend; I'm not interested."

"Well... what if I give the research department an order as the Archbishop's agent, asking them to tailor a set of Valkyrie armor for Wendy that focuses on defense?"

"Time, place, target, and how many equal parts do you want to cut him into?"

Delta appeared in front of Yae Sakura at the speed of light, slapped the table, and said crisply.

Wendy twitched the corner of her mouth.

Yae Sakura also twitched.

Then Wendy quickly pulled the arrogant Delta back, hugged her, and smiled politely at Yae Sakura:

"She was joking. It is the duty of a Valkyrie to serve Shicksa. Just give her orders. There are no conditions."

"In short, go to Anti-Entropy to resolve the remaining effect of the Honkai Eruption. Just do it the same way as you did just now."

Yae Sakura handed over the order document.

After Wendy made a few polite remarks, she hugged Delta and ran away quickly.

Relying on the friendly relationship she had established with Rita before, Wendy also found out the subtle movements of the highest power rank of Skyrim.

Damn, Delta was unscrupulous with Otto first, and now she is unscrupulous with Yae Sakura. She has offended the two generations of leaders. Does she still want to continue to be a comfortable S-rank Valkyrie?

Education, education is necessary!

Wendy ran away angrily. Yae Sakura sat there in a daze, stiff for a long time, then took out the communicator that had never been disconnected from her arms.

"Mr. Otto... you are really good at judging people, and you are really good to Wendy, so you can let Delta do whatever she wants."

"Hey, it also depends on the premise that we are strong enough and she dares not move. Otherwise, do you think she will listen to you?"

"Then don't worry too much, we still have Durandal. She is very powerful."

Yae Sakura patted her chest with confidence, looking confident in her colleague and good friend.

Otto smiled and did not object to Yae Sakura's trust in Durandal. Because to be honest, Otto also believed in Durandal, believing in her strength, potential, and personality.

"Look, you've learned another trick, a special way to discipline special people. Oh my, if you keep going like this, you'll learn all my little tricks. If that happens, I won't be able to sit on the position of archbishop anymore, right?"

"...Mr. Otto, if you keep joking like this, be careful that I really rebel!"

The always docile and polite miko had a stern face, as if she couldn't stand Otto's teasing anymore.

Otto quickly raised his hand and surrendered.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

"Mr. Otto."

"Hmm?"

"Seriously, do you think my work so far is okay? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

Yae Sakura asked seriously.

Otto blinked, smiling, and said:

"Are you so unconfident?"

"Mr. Otto, this is directly related to the survival of tens of millions of survivors. I am afraid... I am afraid that if there is any omission, countless people will suffer. To be honest, when Rita suddenly conveyed your order to me, if you were not at the scene and there was really no time to delay, I really wanted to draw my sword and chase you."

Yae Sakura said faintly, with a deep and terrifying black aura in her eyes.

Otto's smile froze.

"Well, let me explain, I really don't want to be lazy..."

"So you are deliberately making things difficult for Sakura?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I mean!"

"Then why don't you help me think about it quickly? There are so many people and I have no experience!"

Yae Sakura slapped the table in despair and even sniffed aggrievedly, with a pitiful expression as if she was about to cry because of being bullied.

Otto's heart skipped a beat. In order to avoid Yae Sakura being forced into a corner and really running back to the headquarters and skewering himself with a sword, he quickly analyzed it carefully.

"In fact, all your practices are already very perfect, enough to show your intelligence and talent. What I can give you is some detailed suggestions. First of all, on the allocation of personnel...".

Yae Sakura took a pen and took notes carefully, asking one or two questions from time to time, asking Otto to explain his considerations in detail.

Occasionally there were rebuttals, and then Otto would speak more gently and discuss with Yae Sakura patiently. Even if he failed to convince her in the end, the smile in Otto's eyes never faded.

After several hours of in-depth communication, Yae Sakura completed the optimization and supplement of the disaster relief plan.

"In this way, it can help everyone... Okay, it's time to work. Mr. Otto, you can continue to be lazy. Goodbye!"

Even though she got the benefit, the witch seemed to have no conscience. At the last moment, she was still cold and deliberately cut off the communication.

...

In the distance, the headquarters of Schicksal.

Otto looked at the disappearing screen, touched his nose, shook his head, and laughed.

"It seems that she is really resentful."

"Indeed, maybe after returning to the headquarters to report, she will really chase you with the Jizo Mitama."

"Ahem! I am the Archbishop of Schicksal; you will help me, right, Amber?"

"..."

The exquisite beauty wearing a golden eye mask revealed the lower half of her beautiful white face, and she was so cold that she appears to have no human feelings.

Otto's smile froze.

"You will help me, right, Amber?"

"...Lord Otto, this is today's work."

"Hey!"

Although he had a bad premonition, Otto still calmly completed today's work.

Amber went down to execute and prepare today's dinner.

Otto walked to the window and looked at the magnificent sky city.

To be honest, he could point to the scenery outside the window and confidently say, "This is my kingdom."

But before this, he never thought that inheritance was something worth caring about.

Complete your own plan and leave the rest to Theresa.

As for whether Theresa can do it well? Otto would occasionally think about it, but that was it. He had no mood or spare energy to do more things.

Just teaching Yae Sakura like this today, watching the still immature girl listen carefully, ask questions, and accept her way of thinking and logic little by little. It's just like teaching an excellent student.

Unlike Durandal, Durandal inherited Kallen's light, not Otto's own darkness.

But Yae Sakura, she inherited Kallen's glory but also absorbed Otto's understanding of reality.

A perfect successor, an ideal person who is like Kallen and has the ability to make a true savior organization!

"Kallen, if you can see this scene..."

Otto's mouth curled up, revealing a gentle smile without any disguise, truly from the heart.
