I, Herrscher Slayer: I'm Stronger

"What are you yelling about? I just tripped and fell. Come closer so I can help you up. It's really dark here, and tripping is a common occurrence."

Straining to open her eyes wide to watch Kiana's mouth movements, Shen Gonglin waved her hand to indicate she was alright after managing to understand what she was saying. Although her vision was still blurry, she figured she could just try to overcome it; she could just pretend she was nearsighted. Her hearing was practically nonexistent; her eyesight was her Shen Gonglin. Honestly, couldn't she just hold on a little longer? Even just a little while longer...wait, time?

Suddenly, I remembered something important: I have the power of time. If I could turn back time, wouldn't I be able to return to my previous state?

[No, in your current state, you can only recover to where you were an hour ago at most, and it's putting too much strain on your brain. Normally, it wouldn't have any effect, but like this... never mind, I can't stop you anyway. Just remember, even if you become brain-dead, I'll still take care of you for the rest of your life. Even if having sex with a spirit... that's illegal, it won't stop the spirit.]

Me too... me too, Universal Angel, no need to obey the law...

The moment the thought crossed Shen Gonglin's mind, the voices of the Time Elf and the Universal Angel rang out in her heart. As expected of her, she didn't do anything useless to obstruct Shen Gonglin's choice but directly agreed to it. This kind of trust was almost the same as Bronya's. They would support any choice she made. No doubt about it, Shen Gonglin had to give them a thumbs up for this attitude.

"Trip? How could you possibly trip? Shen Gonglin, I know you're cute and adorable, but you've never tripped on flat ground before. What's wrong with you? Tell me quickly if something's wrong with your body... Hey, what are you doing... Tsk, even at a time like this, you still remember to change into girls' clothes. Just how much do you love wearing girls' clothes?!"

Kiana was very worried about Shen Gonglin. He couldn't be alright. Why was he staring so intently at her mouth when she spoke, and why was his reaction so different from usual? A bad feeling began to rise in Kiana's heart. Looking at his slightly dull eyes, Kiana's heart clenched. This was definitely not a symptom caused by a cold or fever. But just as Kiana was about to check again, a black and red light flashed around Shen Gonglin, and a red and black gothic dress appeared on Shen Gonglin. Kiana's face instantly fell. Just how much did this guy like cross-dressing? He had to wear girls' clothes at a time like this.

Is he planning to die looking beautiful?

The power of time flowed through his body, Shen Gonglin quietly fired his Fourth Shot, reversing time and returning him to his Shen Gonglin an hour earlier. However, this was merely a temporary fix; the accumulated pain after the time was up would still backfire. Moreover, using any power would burden his already damaged brain, similar to when Shen Gonglin used the power of time to save Wendy. But now, this was the only way to restore his fighting ability.

Otherwise, given her condition just now, Shen Gonglin really didn't know what use she would be besides causing trouble if she went up there.

"Shut up, or I'll strangle you. If you see Cecilia later, tell her it was an accident, that my pajamas got ruined and I had no choice but to do this. If you dare tell her the truth, I'll kill you first and then kill myself!"

With the effects of the Fourth Shot taking hold, Shen Gonglin's hearing returned. He immediately glared at Kiana. Now recovered, Shen Gonglin finally had some energy. He reached out and vigorously rubbed Kiana's head. What nonsense was this guy spouting? What did he mean by saying he liked wearing girls' clothes? Well, he had no choice. Without becoming like this, he couldn't regain his strength and move freely. Under these circumstances, Shen Gonglin could only choose to be a pervert.

So, it really is true that there's only one or countless times when it comes to Shen Gonglin felt a deep pain in his heart. Seeing Kiana's shocked expression made him even more embarrassed. It wasn't a big deal that she saw it; it wasn't the first time she'd seen it. But what about Cecilia? Shen Gonglin was hoping to leave a good impression on her. She could still stubbornly claim that the Universal Angel armor was combat armor, but now... Shen Gonglin looked down at his beautiful dress.

Forget it, let's just destroy it.

Chapter 54 I'm Stronger

"Alright, alright, it's not shameful at all. Besides, you've embarrassed yourself more than once or twice. Let me tell you, if your behavior is a little ugly, then it's called perverted. But if it's you, 99% of people will say it's cute. So relax. I was planning to show Mom this side of you anyway."

Kiana patted Shen Gonglin's shoulder, forcing a smile as she comforted him. Shen Gonglin, slapped Kiana's hand away. His recovery wouldn't last long, so time was of the essence. He didn't have time for idle chatter with Kiana. Lifting his skirt, Shen Gonglin dashed ahead, while Kiana followed behind with a Shen Gonglin grin. She loved seeing him so shy; Shen Gonglin was just so adorable!

"If you look at me like that again, like you want to strip me naked, I'll really beat you to death. I'm not kidding, I really will beat you to death, it'll be cruel... Hey, crossroads, Kiana, which way should we go... Hey! I'm talking to you, if you touch my back again, we're going to fight right now!"

Kiana's gaze was unbearable; her eyes were like lasers scanning her all over. Wearing her elf gothic outfit, Shen Gonglin felt goosebumps rising on her skin. She forced herself to focus on the road ahead, but soon Shen Gonglin came across a fork in the road. What a joke! Didn't she know that people are terrible with directions? Giving her such a difficult question at a time like this was just too much.

Unable to trust herself, Shen Gonglin could only place her hopes on Kiana. Little did she know that the girl would secretly reach out and touch her back while she stopped. Kiana gasped at the sight of her fair shoulder blades. Shen Gonglin was so alluring; she wanted to lick her.

"What, what are you doing? I was just a little distracted, let me look at the map... Don't come any closer, you'll only disturb my thoughts. From now on, you're not allowed to offer any suggestions. As long as you keep quiet about things like routes, Shen Gonglin."

Finally remembering what she was supposed to do, Kiana looked at the map on the wall and began searching for the way to the upper level. Now was not the time to admire Shen Gonglin; she could do that at home later. The most urgent thing now was to reunite with her mother. She had been acting alone for a while and was probably already engaged in battle with the Herrscher, while they were still wasting time here. Kiana didn't have much hope for Shen Gonglin's navigation skills, and this time he was quite self-aware; it seemed he knew he wouldn't be very reliable in these kinds of situations.

"Hurry up, I feel like something's off here... Tsk, is the Honkai energy concentration here high enough to produce Honkai Beast and Suicide Squad? Kiana, figure out the route quickly, I'll handle this first."

A heavy feeling filled the air. Shen Gonglin sensed something was wrong. Some footsteps were faintly heard. Looking at the pale hair and red eyes, he knew what it was. However, these Honkai Beasts and Suicide Squad could not have appeared out of thin air. In other words, these Suicide Squad were actually people from the original Babylon Laboratory.

Could the child who left the diary be one of these Suicide Squad...?

While his thoughts raced, Rin's hands never stopped moving. He couldn't switch enhancements right now; if he used the Omnipotent Angel enhancement, he couldn't use the Time Spirit's power. His current brain capacity couldn't handle two enhancements simultaneously, so he could only use the Time Spirit's power to fight. He needed to buy Kiana enough time. Two ancient-looking spears appeared in his hands. The Kaslana family's gun-fu technique was enough to deal with these assassins. Gun-fu used dual pistols, and he also used dual pistols when using the Elf Girl's power, so it wouldn't be a problem.

If possible, Shen Gonglin really didn't want to use any other powers. Every bit she used now would mean less when fighting the Herrscher later. Shen Gonglin didn't know how much longer she could hold out. She couldn't very well unleash another Fourth Shot later, could she? It was really giving her a headache. Shen Gonglin was genuinely afraid of any aftereffects. If someone as smart as her lost all five senses and became an idiot... who would want her?

"Didn't I say I want it? I want it!"

Me too.

Ignoring the cheerful yet adorable voice in her mind, Shen Gonglin charged into the battlefield alone, while Kiana struggled to find the right path on the complex map. Kiana's navigation skills were even better than Shen Gonglin's; she wasn't exactly a strategist to begin with, and in this critical moment, she was even more flustered. The path, the path... they should be here... the right path... should be right here!

"Shen Gonglin, I've found it! Let's go!"

Finally finding the right route, Kiana called out to Shen Gonglin, who immediately understood and withdrew. Continuing to fight these Suicide Squad would be pointless. Since Kiana had found the right path, Shen Gonglin stopped pursuing them. She glanced at the Suicide Squad behind her, thinking that if she could use the power of the Universal Angel, she could take them all down with a single Permanent Air-to-Air Missile. Instead, she was being chased by these Suicide Squad. It was truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.

[Hmm? I get the feeling you're underestimating my power. You think I'm inferior to this stupid angel? Well, you Shen Gonglin, you're so fickle... Speaking of which, who came first between us? Anyway, you're not allowed to think like that. You're only like this because you're not in good shape. Even if you used this stupid angel, the result would be the same. Don't overthink it. I'm super strong, whether it's power or something else, I'm stronger than that stupid angel!]

As if sensing Shen Gonglin's ulterior motives, the elven girl immediately began to complain in Shen Gonglin's mind. How dare she doubt her? Shen Gonglin's brain must be broken. How could she have such thoughts? She, a time elf, could not possibly be inferior to this stupid angel.

Is it because my brain is overloaded? How does she know what I'm thinking? It seems I really need to recover properly, otherwise, no matter what I'm thinking, they can both know what I'm thinking. This is no small matter.

Pretending not to hear the Time Spirit's voice, Shen Gonglin hurried on her way. She could already sense the battle ahead. There was no mistake, Cecilia and the Second Herrscher were already fighting!

Chapter 55 You Dislike Me?

In the control room, the white-haired Valkyrie's consciousness finally dissipated. Although she still wanted to fight, the enemy's strength was beyond her imagination. She thought she could defeat the Herrscher, but when the fight actually started, Cecilia realized the gap between them. As her body fell to the ground, her consciousness also entered darkness. She had promised them that she would defeat the Herrscher and return. It seemed that this time, she would have to break her promise.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to break down so quickly. You really disappoint me. But you have reason to be proud. It's quite impressive that you managed to last so long before dying."

Looking at the Valkyrie lying lifeless on the ground ahead, the Second Herrscher, enveloped in dazzling light, let out a bored sigh. Then she turned to look at the doorway as if waiting for something. A series of footsteps sounded, and Kiana and Shen Gonglin finally arrived. The Herrscher was about to speak when she saw Shen Gonglin, and her emotions clearly froze. It took him so long to come. So he was preparing this outfit? It really is the Herrscher's happy outfit. Seeing him dressed like this, the Second Herrscher did feel quite excited.

"Mother!"

Upon arriving, Kiana saw the figure lying on the ground. Instantly, she felt as if a gaping hole had been torn in her heart, and a biting cold wind poured into her body through that void. The girl stared blankly at the motionless figure. No matter how loudly she made a sound, the figure did not react at all. The only change was the slowly spreading red color. Was she too late? Her mother was already... right before her eyes, already... dead?

"Mom? You mean this corpse? I've seen so many people with white hair today."

The Herrscher floated in the air, seemingly unaffected by her battle with Cecilia. She looked at Kiana with a relaxed tone, as if to say, "This is the kind of impact I'm going to have. Faced with this reality, it's obvious what choice she will make. Come on, recite that magic incantation, and the whole world will change for you."

"No, this can't be, how could this happen... No, this absolutely shouldn't be happening!"

Completely unable to accept the reality before her, Kiana's heart was in turmoil. If only she could have been faster, if only she had tried a little harder and not been delayed on the way...

"Oh? You can't accept this? Don't worry, what a pitiful girl. I'll reunite you with your mother right now, and then you won't be addicted anymore."

The Herrscher gathered her power to prepare for the attack, while Kiana remembered that all-powerful spell. That's right, she still had that spell. As long as she recited it, she wouldn't have to worry about this at all. If she could do it again, she wouldn't have to waste time choosing a route. That way, she would definitely be able to save her mother in time. Yes, that's it!

"One more time, I want to do it again, that way I can save Mommy... Ichliebedich... Ichliebedich!"

As the magic incantation rang out, Kiana felt a dazzling light suddenly illuminating her surroundings, as if everything around her had changed. Just like that, she knew this incantation would definitely work. It would grant her wishes, whether it was to lie in her mother's arms or to play games with her. And now, this wish was no exception.

"What? Aren't you going to stop her? I think if it were you, you would have guessed by now. Every time she utters that code, the illusion will change, which will make your burden even heavier. I don't remember you spoiling her like that. If that's the case, I'll be jealous."

The surrounding environment gradually collapsed, and at this moment, the Herrscher said these inexplicable words to Shen Gonglin. As the illusion under her control, the Herrscher could see everything that happened inside. The burden this placed on Shen Gonglin was self-evident. In her previous brief awakenings, she did not remember that Shen Gonglin was so kind. Did she just spoil that false personality like that? How interesting.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand a word of it. And... putting everything else aside, is that diary yours? Your handwriting is really ugly."

As his consciousness was gradually pulled away, Shen Gonglin didn't have much time to say anything more to the Herrscher. Just as he expected, this Herrscher seemed to have some kind of conspiracy. However, she didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, as if she had seen him before. A strange thought surfaced in his mind, so he casually said it out loud: Is Kiana's wish to turn back time and do it all over again? How willful! Doesn't she know that she already has a heavy burden?

Sigh, I'm such a sweet guy, I spoil her way too much.

"... Without a formal education, I'm already doing pretty well at writing like that! Besides, I was young back then, so... tsk, can't you hear me? You think my handwriting is ugly? I think you're short too!"

Such angry words echoed in the collapsing space. The Herrscher, enveloped in dazzling light, gritted his teeth. It seems the burden isn't too heavy yet. This guy can still say such things. He should be burdened with more!

"Eh... Where is this... We seem to have been here before. This is that fork in the road. Mom should be on that side... Was everything that just happened a dream? Thank goodness, it really worked! This time we must save Mom. Shen Gonglin, come with me. We don't need to look at this map anymore!"

As her consciousness returned, Kiana instantly realized that her wish had taken effect when she saw the fork in the road in front of her. If she could hurry, she could definitely save her mother before she died. There was no time to waste. Kiana reached out and grabbed Shen Gonglin's wrist. This girl probably didn't understand what had happened yet. There was no time to explain now. She had to get to her mother's battlefield as soon as possible.

This state can last a little longer. It seems we must act quickly. Saving Cecilia must be Kiana's wish, and once that wish is fulfilled, the dream should end... While this dream is still alive, I should help Kiana fulfill her wish. Even though it's a dream, Shen Gonglin hopes this child can be happy. Consider it repayment for her usual care. I'll comfort her properly later, and maybe I can take advantage of the situation... Tsk, I promised myself I'd be a warm-hearted guy, how did I end up thinking the wrong way again? So annoying, I clearly intended to be a good person.

Quietly gathering her strength, Shen Gonglin was ready to do her best to ensure she had no regrets, even if it was all fake, it was the only thing she could do now.

Chapter Fifty-Six: She's the Older Sister, Not the Mother

"Heh, you've got some skills, haven't you? You're completely different from the guys I've met before. You've brought me a lot of fun, but that's about it. Come on, let me have some fun..."

In the control room, the battle between the Herrscher and Cecilia continued, but Cecilia already knew the outcome. The Herrscher's strength far exceeded her expectations. Even if she hadn't used the Black Abyss White Flower to heal Siegfried, she probably wouldn't have been a match for her. It seemed she really had to rely on Bishop Otto's missiles. Fortunately, Kiana and Shen Gonglin were safe, and even if the missiles exploded, they wouldn't be affected.

"Stop talking so much! Don't you know that villains die from talking too much? Kiana, and Cecilia, hurry up!"

Just as Cecilia was preparing to deliver the final blow to the white-haired girl, a voice she never expected rang out. Without wasting any time, Shen Gonglin and Kiana finally arrived. Seeing the Herrscher girl before them and preparing to kill her, Shen Gonglin activated her Elf Girl ability. The shadow beneath the Herrscher's feet began to boil, and several pale arms reached out from it, firmly binding the Herrscher. Kiana also prepared to attack. With a command from Shen Gonglin, flames shot from Kiana's gun, and the bullet struck the bound Herrscher. Now!

"Get out of my way, you damned Second Herrscher, Mom, now's the time!"

Kiana? And that's... Shen Gonglin? Why are they here? Didn't I already arrange for them to be in the safe house? And how did Shen Gonglin become like this? I don't even recognize her anymore. Although her mind was full of questions, Cecilia's warrior instincts made her act without the slightest hesitation. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Cecilia grabbed the white knight's lance and charged straight towards the Herrscher. This time, Shen Gonglin and Kiana really helped a lot.

"Damn it! You just wait!"

Having suffered considerable damage, the Herrscher's figure vanished instantly. However, injured as she was, she probably couldn't run far. Shen Gonglin leaned against the wall, panting softly. She didn't have much time left; the power of the Time Spirit couldn't sustain her any longer. It seemed that the next time she fainted would be the end.

"Mom, are you alright?"

With the Herrscher retreating, Kiana immediately felt relieved. She had succeeded; she had saved her mother. Like a swallow returning to its nest, the young girl rushed towards Cecilia. All of this was thanks to that magic spell. Without it, Kiana couldn't even imagine the consequences. This was truly the best outcome; her mother was alright, and she was now by her mother's side.

"I'm fine... But Kiana, why did you and Shen Gonglin come here? And why is he dressed so beautifully? Didn't I tell you two to stay in the safe house? It's dangerous here. You two should go back to the safe house quickly."

Cecilia reached out and accepted Kiana's embrace, her brows furrowing slightly. This wasn't a battlefield for the two of them. She could handle the Second Herrscher alone; she had only left them in the safe house to prevent any accidents from happening to them. Who knew they would catch up so quickly, and seem quite relaxed? Shen Gonglin even had time to change her clothes. Although she had indeed been fortunate to have them earlier, Cecilia still didn't intend to let them continue fighting with her.

"No, I can't just stay in a safe place and ignore your safety. My dad said that we should do everything we can to protect the people we love most, so I will do my best to protect Lady Cecilia. You saw what I did just now, right? I have the ability to fight, and I can be of use. And Shen Gonglin, don't let his current appearance fool you, he's actually very strong!"

Kiana knew she couldn't let Cecilia fight alone any longer. What she had experienced and seen before still terrified Kiana. She had to stay by Cecilia's side. The girl said urgently to Cecilia, "The Second Herrscher is very powerful. Without my help and Shen Gonglin's help, Mom will definitely be in danger."

Dressed like a pervert? This guy just praised himself for being cute. As expected of a woman, Kiana is quite the fickle one. Impressive, impressive, she's really amazing.

Shen Gonglin was leaning against the wall and resting with her eyes closed, raised an eyebrow. Fine, for the sake of her mother, I'll give Kiana some face. Does she think I wanted to wear this? If it weren't for helping her, why would Shen Gonglin abandon her own principles? This little ingrate, she should remember to be grateful.

"Kiana... what your father said sounds just like someone I know. I can almost see his shadow in you... I understand. Please forgive my rudeness before. I will not force you to leave again. You are right. If it weren't for your and Shen Gonglin's help just now, I would probably be dead at the hands of the Second Herrscher now. You are both excellent and reliable warriors. Please come with me and fight side by side."

Looking into Kiana's eyes, Cecilia saw a fierce fighting spirit in those clear blue pupils. She breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that nothing she said would make a difference; Kiana was indeed a warrior. Then she looked at Shen Gonglin, who, despite looking like a young lady taking a stroll in the countryside, Cecilia some understanding of her power. Whether it was her technologically advanced combat suit or the strange methods she had used in the shadows, with the two of them together, they might actually be able to defeat the Second Herrscher. She couldn't let them be excluded.

"Yes, I understand!"

Finally getting her mother's permission, Kiana straightened her chest, ready to unleash her power. She had finally convinced her mother of her strength! The girl looked at Cecilia in front of her, determined to protect her from any harm. At that moment, Cecilia reached out her hand to Kiana. Was her mother going to pat her head? Kiana quickly moved her head closer, but Cecilia grabbed her ear instead. "Eh? What's going on?"

"And there's one more important thing. You just called me 'Mom,' right? I'm only twenty-four. I'm the older sister. Don't call me 'Mom.' I was just trying it out before. If you keep calling me that, I'll get angry. Shen Gonglin, you be the judge. We definitely look more like sisters, don't we?"

Grabbing Kiana's ear, Cecilia pulled her in front of Shen Gonglin. Looking at the woman who was emphasizing her age, Shen Gonglin's lips twitched slightly. These two, this indecent behavior seems to be hereditary.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Cecilia's Wish

"It hurts so much... Shen Gonglin, don't you think Mom is being really unreasonable? I just called her 'Mom,' why is she so concerned about my age? Just like Teacher Himeko, I don't think it's a big deal. I really don't understand their thinking. What's wrong with being older?"

Rubbing her ears, Kiana whispered to Shen Gonglin Jingu. The three of them were now heading to the top of the tower. The Herrscher was injured, and now was the time to press their advantage. It could be said that the scales of victory had tipped in their favor, so Kiana's mood lightened a bit. She looked at Cecilia, who was clearing a path ahead, and quietly complained to Shen Gonglin, "A young girl like me just doesn't understand their feelings at all."

"It's because you're too stupid. You don't care now, but you'll understand when you reach that age. I can't explain it to you now, after all, I'm just a harmless, eternally sixteen-year-old pretty boy."

Shen Gonglin rolled her eyes at Kiana. In this respect, she was smarter than Kiana. At least she knew that she couldn't bring up age with women. This issue seemed to be engraved in Shen Gonglin's DNA. Whenever she thought about it, a golden figure would always appear in her mind. Age was a taboo subject. A certain eternally Shen Gonglin -year-old girl had long since etched this into Shen Gonglin's bones. So, despite her low emotional intelligence, she rarely mentioned women's age.

"Hey, Shen Gonglin, I've noticed your skin is getting thicker and thicker. Even if it's true, you can't just say it like that. I think you should be a little more reserved. Can't you stop being so arrogant?"

He righteously declared himself to be a forever sixteen-year-old handsome boy. Where did Shen Gonglin learn such a thick skin? The Class President shouldn't have taught Shen Gonglin to be like this. Putting this question aside for now, Kiana patted Shen Gonglin's shoulder, signaling him to tone it down. He and she were both in their teens, young and beautiful, but the woman in front of them was already a "senior" twenty-four-year-old woman. They couldn't provoke her.

"How can this be considered arrogant? It's just stating the truth at most..."

Shen Gonglin corrected Kiana's question, while the "elderly" woman, who had been clearing the way and deliberately ignoring what was happening behind her, finally couldn't hold back any longer. She turned around and glared angrily at the two heartless competitors behind her. Were they trying to let her practice before her final battle with the Herrscher? "Just say so! Cecilia doesn't mind!"

"You two, if you're going to slack off, then do it properly. Don't treat it like a leisurely stroll. Didn't we agree to fight side by side with you? You two have been talking non-stop since just now. If you keep babbling, get out of here to the safe house!"

The white-haired Valkyrie swept away the Suicide Squad blocking her path with her knight's lance. Those two had been talking a good game earlier, saying they would fight alongside her to reduce her stress, but now Cecilia felt that the biggest pressure came from them. Did they really think she couldn't hear their nonsense? It was infuriating.

She was getting anxious.

"Here we are. We just took a short break in the back because we saw that you, Lady Cecilia, were dealing with these Suicide Squad without any problems. You don't know, Lady Cecilia, Shen Gonglin wants to sleep as soon as it's time for bed, so I was just talking to him to keep him awake... Lady Cecilia, are these Suicide Squad the fate of the children who used to stay in this tower?"

As soon as Cecilia spoke, Kiana rushed to her side. She couldn't upset her mother; it seemed her mother really didn't like this topic. As soon as she got to the front, she saw the fallen Suicide Squad. Based on the contents of the diary, Kiana had deduced something. These Suicide Squad... no, these guards, they used to be living, breathing people.

"Those [doctors] stole their emotions and memories to enhance their Honkai energy resistance, turning them into puppets who only obeyed battle orders. What difference is there between this and killing them...?"

A deep sadness welled up in Cecilia's eyes. She wanted to save these children, but to no avail. All she could do now was let the poor children's bodies rest in peace. This was wrong, and she wanted to change everything.

"Kiana, and Shen Gonglin, would you be willing to listen to me a little longer? I would like to ask for your help with this matter."

She called Shen Gonglin to her side as well. Looking at the two innocent yet reliable little faces in front of her, Cecilia wanted to tell them her innermost thoughts. If it was the two of them, they could already help her do this. If this was accomplished, all the children who had suffered would be saved.

"I've always had a dream that there are many children in this world who are born with Honkai energy resistance like you. I want to build an academy for them, whether they are Valkyrie or children here... They should grow up like ordinary people, instead of becoming victims of war. We must never let the tragedy in this tower repeat itself. So, if possible, would you two be willing to help me realize this dream?"

A holy smile appeared on Cecilia's face. Looking at Cecilia like this, Shen Gonglin and Kiana even felt as if she was radiating holy light. Perhaps this was Cecilia's personal charm. How could anyone refuse Cecilia when she looked like this?

"Of course, Lady Cecilia, please allow me to travel with you. Shen Gonglin, you do too, right?"

How could Kiana possibly refuse Cecilia's invitation? She even wanted to tell Cecilia directly that her wish had come true. So this was the original intention behind the establishment of the St. Freya Academy? Did Auntie establish St. Freya Academy for her mother's sake?

"If you want me to be the dean of students, I'd agree. I'd like to be the kind of person who can punish disobedient female students and take them to my office to slowly discipline them... I mean, if you want me to give them guidance, then that's no problem."

Shen Gonglin nodded in agreement. To be honest, he had been wanting this identity for quite some time. He had seen similar plots in Mei's books before, and Shen Gonglin felt it would be quite exciting to actually try it out.

Well, if the academy is established, the first person who needs to be properly educated is this guy. He's supposed to be the head of student affairs, but he's the one who needs the most guidance!

Kiana and Cecilia exchanged a glance and both understood the meaning in each other's eyes. Yes, that was indeed the case.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The End of the Illusion

The time for casual conversation was over, and without giving them a chance to continue, the figure ahead made Cecilia put the topic aside for the time being. This was the final battle. The Herrscher had already been seriously injured, and now was the best time to eliminate her. The Second Herrscher was also a product of this laboratory, wasn't she? Although she felt sorry for her, Cecilia knew exactly what to do now.

"Be careful, Kiana, we're about to attack!"
