Chapter 156
"Idiot! Is this the time to say such things? Why did I merge with you... I guess I'm too late after all. She's already been controlled by the Honkai."
Purple lightning crackled across her body as another personality within Mei awakened. "It's Herrscher, isn't it? Then let the Herrscher defeat the Herrscher!"
Chapter 115 Is that all?
As we all know, magic must be used to fight magic, so correspondingly, the Herrscher must be brought in to deal with the Herrscher. The bomb in her heart has been defused, Mei begins to awaken the power buried deep within her. Originally, she was afraid that this power would harm the people around her, but now she understands that power is neither good nor evil, it is determined by the person who uses it. As long as you have a heart to protect others, then this power will become the strongest barrier, just like now!
A purple light enveloped Mei's entire body. She reached out and shielded Shen Gonglin behind her. Kiana was now controlled by the Honkai, and all she had to do was defeat her and awaken her. Challenging an awakened Herrscher with incomplete Herrscher power was quite a challenge.
"Hehe, you're finished, you're finished. Did you see that? My Mei is getting serious. If you know what's good for you, kneel down and apologize with your belly showing, or my Mei will cut you to pieces right now. Can you feel this surging electric light? If you don't want to be shocked to death, you'd better admit defeat!"
It felt like he'd been transported to Honkai energy gathering place. Just now it was Kiana's Honkai energy, and now Mei's Honkai energy was just as strong. He activated the Great Void Sword Qi at full power, Honkai energy the deep purple Honkai energy into red and white healing energy that acted on his entire body. Shen Gonglin felt as if a glimmer of light had appeared in the void, and his vision had finally returned somewhat. If things continued like this, he would soon be able to return to his complete form. He squinted and stared at the hazy purple figure in front of him. It seemed Mei was going to get serious. Well then, he would create some momentum for her.
"Oh? Is that so? Shen Gonglin, you don't actually think this incomplete Herrscher power is a match for me, do you? Or is my half here giving you something to rely on? If you come over here obediently now, I won't hold it against you for running away from me before."
The voice had completely changed. The voice, which seemed to echo, sounded majestic and was nothing like Kiana's usual voice. It was as if she didn't take Mei, who was on high alert, seriously at all. The Herrscher of the Void's eyes were on Shen Gonglin from beginning to end. It was fine to let him go out for a stroll occasionally, but he needed to understand that no matter what, he would eventually have to come back to her side.
But Shen Gonglin is so disobedient... If he continues like this, although it's a real headache, I'll just have to beat him half to death and keep him by my side. I guess he'll become obedient that way.
"Hehe, didn't you see that there's a Mei standing right next to me? Mei, go and beat her up! She bullied me so badly just now. Look, she sucked all the skin off my lips. I'm so pitiful. Go and avenge me!"
Like a mischievous child who has found his parents, Shen Gonglin pointed to his mouth and complained to Mei. His vision had recovered a little, but he could only see roughly now. Since he couldn't see clearly, he assumed Mei couldn't see clearly either. The ready-to-fight Raiden Mei turned around and saw Shen Gonglin's face so close to hers. Her pent-up aura suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon. What was this guy doing? Didn't he see she was about to fight? Why was he getting so close to her? Now her cool and aloof aura was completely gone, and she was back to being that housewife!
But he really got bullied terribly. Look at his mouth, it's been sucked so hard it's practically... No, wait! What kind of bullying could possibly be this bad? Is this Herrscher a dog? Does she really think there are no adults in her family? How dare she bully Shen Gonglin like this? She's practically asking for death.
Realizing how Jingu Shen Gonglin had been bullied, Raiden Mei was furious. Lightning flashed again, and Mei transformed from the master of pots and pans into a valiant Valkyrie. The girl gripped her katana tightly and stared coldly at the Herrscher of the Void. Now, she was no ordinary Valkyrie, but a Valkyrie seeking justice for her people.
"Oh? Not bad eye, Shen Gonglin. Given how disobedient you are right now, I'm going to bully you even more when I bring you back later. I hope you're mentally prepared for what will happen after I show you the farce I've prepared for my return."
Did he think Mei would protect him? It seems he still doesn't understand the difference in their combat power. He never thought of bullying Shen Gonglin in this regard. It seems he still doesn't understand what kind of power he has now. Just because he doesn't want to beat her up doesn't mean he doesn't want to beat others up. Judging from Mei, she won't willingly hand over the Conquest Gem. It's a good opportunity for him to see what kind of power he possesses as the incarnation of Honkai.
"Anyone can talk tough, Mei, go ahead, I'll back you up."
Shen Gonglin shuddered. Although her vision was blurry, she could still sense the Herrscher of the Void's intrigued gaze. Had she been too hasty? Should she have waited until Mei and the Herrscher fought before deciding which side she was on? What if Mei lost...? Shen Gonglin regretted it a little, but she didn't say anything. All her hopes were now on Mei. Good luck, Mei.
"Lightning, Submit to me!"
With Shen Gonglin's expectations in mind, Mei's eyes surged with electricity like a waterfall. Just like Shen Gonglin used electricity to stimulate her muscles to accelerate, Mei, who was using the Herrscher power for the first time, burst out with power that was different from usual. Shen Gonglin was watching, and he had to give him confidence and let him know that he could protect him!
But this is... Kiana.
The person's face was getting closer and closer. Although her demeanor and appearance were completely different from usual, it was Kiana's face. Looking at her like this, how could she bring herself to do it? It was a real dilemma. What should she do?
Then Mei knelt down. The Herrscher of the Void didn't even use her spatial control powers; the few Spear of the Void that shot towards her from behind alone put immense pressure on Mei. The possibility of defeating a complete Herrscher by simply using a small amount of Herrscher power was as unreliable as a three-tomoe Sharingan defeating a Kaleidoscope Sharingan. The Herrscher of the Void had no intention of holding back and easily neutralized Mei's attack. The Herrscher of the Void reached out and grabbed Mei's neck, and the battle ended in an instant. This was not what Shen Gonglin had expected.
Holding Mei's slender neck in her hand, the Herrscher of the Void turned to look at Rin Shingu, whose face had become Shen Gonglin. The Herrscher's lips curled up slightly.
That's it?
Chapter 116 Lightning's Failure
Damn it, Mei's collapse is faster than a hip split! I hadn't even shouted my cheers yet, and she's already on her knees. Could this be a fixed match? Shen Gonglin knows the relationship between Kiana and Mei all too well. If no one else interfered, they'd be sleeping in the same bed sooner or later. But this is the Herrscher of the Void, not Kiana's bug. So Mei shouldn't be throwing the fight. Is this the real difference in combat power...? Shen Gonglin is expressionless, with a blank face. Before they started fighting, he did think Mei might not be a match for the Herrscher of the Void, after all, this girl is quite impressive now. But he never expected Mei to collapse so quickly... no, to lose so quickly.
Shen Gonglin was planning to find someone to help her while she was holding off the Herrscher of the Void, but as soon as she made a move, someone grabbed her by the neck. How could she fight like that? Where did this cheating power come from? Is she really ten times stronger after turning evil? Shen Gonglin is going to turn evil too. He is going to become stronger too.
Hello everyone, I am Shen Gonglin. I like to drink blood and have turned evil.
"If you apologize now, I'll forgive you."
Grabbing Mei by the neck, the Herrscher of the Void looked at Rin Shen Gonglin with amusement. So this was his reliance? How weak. He couldn't even unleash the true power of Herrscher. He should return the gem to himself. It's time to merge with my other half.
"I was wrong! I was too arrogant just now. I have realized my mistake. So please release Mei. She's just a cook. In war, don't kill the cooks."
Rin Shen Gonglin readily admitted her mistake. Looking back, she realized she had acted too hastily. She should have waited for everyone to arrive before engaging in team fights. Sending Mei in alone was a questionable move. She didn't even have the ability to support, just a fountain-based commander. She should have waited for Theresa and Bronya to arrive before starting the battle. Instead, she went in and fed a Mei's fault; it was her commanding error. Shen Gonglin straightened up and obediently apologized, "I was wrong. I won't do it again."
"... At first glance, what you said makes a lot of sense, so you'd better come over here obediently. This time, I won't let you escape so easily."
The Herrscher of the Void threatened Shen Gonglin with a Herrscher of the Void, not minding playing around with him. As Herrscher, she could do whatever she wanted. She wanted to do it now, just like Herrscher of the Void did when she was in Kiana's body. All humans should die, but Shen Gonglin was so much fun... From beginning to end, the Herrscher of the Void never had any intention of killing him.
"Shen Gonglin, no... Kiana, quick, quick... wake up..."
The power of the Herrscher of Thunder had dissipated. Mei painfully reached out, trying to wake Kiana. Now that she was so close, she could almost touch Kiana. Both of them had perfect figures with long legs and height. Herrscher of the Void could grab Mei's neck, then Mei could touch her cheek. This was not the Kiana she knew. Give her back the Kiana she knew.
Mei stretched out her hand and placed it on the Herrscher's face. The slightly painful sound seemed to instantly reach the heart of the woman in front of her. Her dormant consciousness seemed to be touched. The Herrscher of the Void's golden pupils turned back to blue in an instant. This is, Mei, that is... Shen Gonglin?
"Ugh... Ahhhhhh!"
Just as Kiana regained consciousness, a strong sense of malice surged into her head again. The girl clutched her head in pain. Mei, who had been released, tried to check on Kiana's condition, but before she could even touch Kiana, she was blown away by a powerful force. Shen Gonglin quickly stepped forward and hugged Mei's waist, knowing that it wouldn't be so easy to awaken Kiana's consciousness. It seemed that she had angered the Herrscher lady just now.
With one hand covering her forehead, the Herrscher of the Void swayed as she stood up. The golden light that shone through her fingers made Shen Gonglin and Mei's hearts sink. Their actions had indeed angered the Herrscher of the Void. It seemed that her consciousness was not completely asleep; she was still thinking about fighting for this body. In other words, she could also see everything in front of them. Very well, then let her see with her own eyes how she destroyed everything!
Imaginary Energy surged in the space, Herrscher of the Void began to unleash her power. Dark purple energy spread through the air, and suddenly the azure sky seemed to be torn open, forming a circle. From the shattered space, a white figure emerged— the Honkai, coming to greet their queen.
"This is..."
Mei stared wide-eyed at the spatial rift that had been torn open. The girl seemed still to be recovering from the frustration of failing to awaken Kiana. Meanwhile, Shen Gonglin tried to open her eyes wide to see what was in front of her. Oh well, if she couldn't see it, she couldn't see it. As long as she knew it was definitely not a good thing, that was enough.
"Stop it! Judging from my feeling, it's probably a high-level Mei Honkai Beast. Someone as weak as Mei definitely can't beat it. Run! Don't just stand there!"
Holding onto Mei's waist, she tried to run away. As the embodiment of Honkai, the Herrscher has the ability to control Honkai Beast. Even Kurumi, the fake Herrscher, can use spatial quakes to summon Honkai Beast. Of course, the real Herrscher can do it too. Moreover, Kurumi can only summon Honkai Beast but cannot control them. However, the Honkai Beast summoned by this Herrscher are clearly under her command.
"Mei, I can't run fast, why don't you carry me while you run... Ouch!"
Shen Gonglin carried Mei in a princess carry and quickly retreated, but his eyesight was only barely enough to see the person in front of him. In addition, he was physically weak, and he couldn't run for more than a few steps while carrying Mei. The Herrscher was clearly angry when she saw Shen Gonglin carrying Mei like that. She was done playing and had to teach him a lesson.
With a slight twitch of Herrscher fingers, the spear in the Thunder God-level Honkai Beast's hand slammed down, shattering the bridge beneath their feet. The resulting shockwave instantly blasted Shen Gonglin and Mei apart, who rolled forward in a tangled mass. Mei desperately clung to Shen Gonglin, protecting him with her own body—his head, arms, legs... Mei gritted her teeth, enduring the pain of the impact. Shen Gonglin was no Valkyrie; with his physical abilities, if he continued to be hit like that, he would definitely suffer a concussion. She had to protect him.
Chapter 117 Vision Recovery
"It hurts so much... Shen Gonglin! Are you alright? Are you okay?"
Pain shot through her body Mei, who had just been through Neymar's tumbling, felt as if her body was falling apart. But as soon as she stopped, she didn't bother to check her own injuries; instead, she asked about the condition of Shen Gonglin in her arms. Life was fragile. Even Valkyrie with such physical strength could die in battle, let alone someone like Shen Gonglin, whose constitution was weaker. Any impact could have taken his life. Although she had desperately protected him, she couldn't guarantee that Shen Gonglin was alright. As for Kiana now... there was nothing she could do.
"I... I... Um, excuse me, I can't hold it in anymore!"
Just as she was thrown around and felt completely disoriented, it was thanks to Mei's body acting as a human shield that Mei Shen Gonglin having her neck twisted. Having never received any of the professional training of Valkyrie, Shen Gonglin felt like she had ridden a roller coaster without a seatbelt. The churning sensation in her stomach made her hold onto Mei and vomit a mouthful of bile. The feeling was so unpleasant that Shen Gonglin was even carsick.
So you just shook him so much he threw up? Thank goodness he wasn't hurt.
Wiping the blood from her forehead, Mei finally felt relieved as she looked at Shen Gonglin, who was lying on the ground vomiting. Meanwhile, the Herrscher of the Void clearly had no intention of letting them relax. The familiar she had summoned understood the Queen's intentions. As the first Honkai Beast summoned by the Queen in this battle, it had to perform well.
Before Mei and Shen Gonglin could relax, the Honkai Beast charged forward and raised its spear again. Mei's pupils contracted, and without thinking, she grabbed Shen Gonglin and shielded him with her body. The expected impact did not come. Although the appearance of the Herrscher of the Void was very sudden, the others had enough time to react. How could they let Shen Gonglin and Mei fight alone? They still had the most reliable reinforcements!
"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."
Einstein's calm voice rang out, followed by a distortion in the space around Mei and Shen Gonglin. The spear that the Honkai Beast swung down was firmly blocked in mid-air. The Titan Mech, having deactivated their optical camouflage, appeared around Shen Gonglin and Mei. The mech combat force was now deployed and ready to carry out its mission: eliminate the Honkai!
Einstein gave commands to the mecha, and the unmanned mecha reached out and grabbed the Honkai Beast's spear. Powered by Honkai energy, the mecha unleashed unparalleled power. Schicksal relied on Valkyrie to fight, while Anti-Entropy focused on researching mecha. With the help of cutting-edge technology, this was their way of fighting the Honkai!
The mech's power core output suddenly increased, and the Honkai Beast's white spear was instantly broken. Pink particles emerged from the broken surface. The Thor-class Honkai Beast let out a deafening roar, but before it could make its next move, another Titan Mech suddenly appeared and grabbed its neck. A missile struck its head accurately, and with a deafening explosion, the Honkai Beast's body shattered and fell to the ground, turning into primal Honkai energy. As an organization on par with Schicksal, they were already masters of mech warfare.
"This is... reinforcements from Anti-Entropy?"
Mei loosened her Shen Gonglin slightly and looked at the countless mechs passing by her with some surprise. When did Dr. Einstein arrange these mechs here? With so many combat mechs, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
"Oh? Annoying bugs."
Seeing the sudden appearance of the mechs, the Herrscher of the Void showed a bored expression. As if she were climbing a stairway to godhood, a halo appeared under her feet with each step Herrscher took, serving as a step. She slowly ascended into the sky with her hands behind her back. The mechs attacking from the ground could not affect her mood. However, if these things exploded, the resulting fireworks would be quite a sight.
With a wave of her hands, the Herrscher Void caused her ribbon-like skirt to flutter without wind, and countless purple halos appeared behind her, just like when she summoned the Honkai Beast. As the Herrscher of the Void of Honkai, doing such a thing was as simple as eating and drinking for the Herrscher of the Void. Since she had so many mechs, she would just use these minions to play with them.
The roars of Honkai Beast echoed from every spatial rift, and one after another, Thunder God-level Honkai Beast emerged from the gaps created by the Herrscher of the Void the Herrscher of the Void. With a wave of her hand, the Honkai Beast sent the Honkai Beasts charging toward the mechs on the ground as if they had received a command. It was practically a massive brawl.
"Even his underlings are high-level Honkai Beast. I have to say, this guy is really impressive. I never thought that silly Kiana would become so strong. Compared to her... never mind, Mei, we need to work a little harder, otherwise I think you might not be able to beat her in the future."
The mecha forces, which initially had a numerical advantage, were suddenly evened out. On one side was the fearless Honkai Beast army, and on the other side were the cold, programmed mechas. This was no longer a battle but a war. Kiana was surprisingly powerful after her corruption. Even in this situation, Shen Gonglin couldn't become tense or serious. He secretly glanced at Mei beside him. Both of them had a second personality after their corruption, but why was his cook so incompetent? My dear cook, you need to try a little harder.
"Kiana is now completely controlled by the Honkai, she's Herrscher now... Don't look at me like that, I know I did terribly just now, okay? I'll get stronger, Shen Gonglin, you really don't know how to treat girls... Hey, your eyes, can you see now?"
Shen Gonglin's gaze. She'd just assumed a fighting stance when she was suddenly grabbed by the neck and scolded, making Mei blush even more. Especially since Shen Gonglin had witnessed this humiliating moment. Shouldn't a proper gentleman comfort her...? She almost forgot, Shen Gonglin was anything but a gentleman. If he were to comfort her, he wouldn't be Shen Gonglin. This guy dared to criticize her weakness! If she could defeat Herrscher alone, what would she need him for? She muttered to herself, but when Mei noticed the renewed sparkle in Shen Gonglin's eyes, she quickly forgot about it. Shen Gonglin could see that?
Chapter 118 Not even the Herrscher are spared
I can see it now... Yes, I can see it now?
Mei's words made Shen Gonglin realize that he could see clearly now. It was no longer a void or a blurry, pixelated image. In his bright vision, he could clearly see Mei in front of him. The Mei Sword Qi was constantly in motion. Honkai energy Great Void Sword Qi was abundant on this battlefield. After such a long period of repair, Shen Gonglin's five senses had finally been fully restored. After being blind for so long, Shen Gonglin almost wanted to cry when he saw the light again. Now he finally understood the feeling of Wendy and Bronya standing up again. Shen Gonglin felt that he could have a feast to celebrate this achievement.
"No, I haven't recovered yet. I still can't see anything. If you don't believe me, just wait until we take a bath together and see if I get a nosebleed. By the way, Mei, how about we take a bath together from now on? That way we can save water. Anyway, I can't see anything. What do you think?"
It's certainly a good thing that she's recovered, but Shen Gonglin doesn't want anyone to know she's recovered. She hasn't even taken advantage of such a good opportunity yet. Just imagine, Bronya and Mei thinking her eyes haven't recovered and then changing clothes right in front of her as if nothing happened... Why would she even think of Bronya? What's so interesting about that little girl? It's Mei or Himeko who matters. Just thinking about it... it's exciting!
"...You're overthinking it. If you keep thinking about it, I'm afraid you'll get a nosebleed right now. This isn't the time to think about these things, Shen Gonglin. You've recovered, haven't you?"
Staring blankly at Shen Gonglin, who was trying to pretend to be blind, Mei was now 100% certain that Shen Gonglin had recovered. Before, Rin's eyes were blank when he looked at her, but now Shen Gonglin's gaze kept wandering over her chest and legs. Because of the previous battle, many parts of the lining of Mei's combat armor were damaged. If this guy's eyesight hadn't recovered, how could he only stare at those exposed areas? She had never seen anyone like Shen Gonglin. Even though they were on the battlefield, why couldn't she get nervous whenever she was around Shen Gonglin?
"No, I haven't recovered. I'm so pathetic right now... Okay, my five senses have recovered, but my strength hasn't recovered much. My body feels like it's broken. The trauma in my brain seems to have affected something. I probably need a lot of Honkai energy to recover. Relying solely on the Great Void Sword Qi to refine the surrounding Honkai energy is just too slow."
Seeing the meaningful look in Mei, Shen Gonglin couldn't hold back any longer. He had no choice but to dejectedly explain his current situation. His five senses had almost recovered, but he couldn't use the power of Universal Angel or the spirit. It was probably because his nervous system had been severely damaged. Even the Electromagnetic Force that Shen Gonglin naturally possessed was beyond his perfect control. For example, just trying to stimulate his muscles to speed up might cause a lightning explosion inside his body. He simply couldn't control it properly, let alone the Angel Mode and spirit mode that required a high degree of concentration. Right now, it seemed that the only thing Shen Gonglin could summon was the ability to suck blood?
Hmm, if I could give the Herrscher a bite, would that be a way to revive Kiana?
Shen Gonglin looked up at the Herrscher of the Void in the air, her purple eyes narrowing slightly as she pondered the feasibility of what had happened. From this angle... this Herrscher was actually wearing black... Ugh, ugh, this isn't the time to worry about that. Who cares what color she's wearing? Even if she wasn't wearing anything, Shen Gonglin would still... well, you know.
Well, now that her eyesight has recovered, Shen Gonglin wants to use them as much as possible. It's definitely better that they've recovered. Shen Gonglin's eyesight is excellent; even from this distance, he can clearly see under the Queen's skirt.
"Humans, your very existence is a mistake! War, deception, envy, greed... and lust! If you keep looking like that, believe me, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
The Herrscher walked through the air with great presence, her echoing voice reverberating across the battlefield like a judgment. Everyone who heard her voice wore a solemn expression, whether it was the Valkyrie troops observing the battle through monitors or the people on the Hyperion. Their hearts were heavy. However, the Herrscher's tone suddenly changed in the second half of her sentence. The Herrscher of the Void, embarrassed and angry, adjusted the position of a spatial rift to block Shen Gonglin's view before she felt relieved. Where was she?
It's all that little Shen Gonglin's fault; she ruined all my presence.
"Hey, I can't see it... Mei, don't look at me like that. It makes me feel like a reptile. I was really thinking about how to solve this problem, believe me."
Finding nothing of interest, Shen Gonglin had no choice but to look away. Then he noticed Mei's gaze, which seemed to regard him as if he were looking at a single-celled insect. This look made Shen Gonglin feel a little embarrassed.
"I didn't expect you to even target the Herrscher... Don't worry, with Anti-Entropy's combat forces here, we're relatively safe right now. But I think you'd better tone it down. Everyone saw what the Herrscher did just now. You... You're not allowed to go out alone anymore. Don't even think about acting alone without me by your side."
Mei looked up at the Herrscher of the Void in the sky. The Herrscher, who had just been looking like a judge, was now carefully adjusting her angle, afraid of exposing her skirt. Only Shen Gonglin could do something like this to force Herrscher to such a state. This girl is really shameless, even towards Herrscher... If that's the case, does the fact that she has Third Herrscher inside her not matter? Shen Gonglin doesn't seem to care about such things.
"Why won't you let me go out alone... And Mei, I feel like you've set a flag. You said we're safe now, but it doesn't seem like what you said."
Shen Gonglin swallowed hard. It wasn't that he was saying it, but Shen Gonglin really felt that Mei had a knack for jinxing things. Despite having so many mechs, Shen Gonglin didn't feel safe at all. The Herrscher in the air was clearly getting serious. If these mechs could be effective, then the Honkai would be far too easy to defeat.
Chapter 119 Fire at Her
Although there were many Anti-Entropy mechs around, the attacks from these cold machines had achieved a subtle balance with the Honkai Beast summoned by the Herrscher. Firepower is justice, and Shen Gonglin had deeply realized this when she used the Universal Angel mode. However, for some reason, Shen Gonglin still felt uneasy. These mechs were currently being controlled by AI in battle. Shen Gonglin also wanted to play this kind of battle mode.
"How about handing over command of the mech unit to me? I see, there are not only Titan Mech but also ballista units. We need to give the Herrscher a tough stunt."
Shen Gonglin leaned close to Mei and spoke into the communicator on her armor. That voice must be the "Chicken Coop Head Dr. Einstein" that Tesla often talked about. She wondered where Mei was now, but seeing the mecha force attacking in such a chaotic manner made Shen Gonglin's hands itch. Is this the legendary mecha warfare? Anti-Entropy is indeed rich and powerful.
[Unfortunately, command of the mech unit cannot be transferred to... Hmm? What happened? The mech unit's authority has been delegated? This authority belongs to... Dr. Tesla?]
Einstein calmly refused Shen Gonglin. Although they were there as reinforcements, it didn't mean they would give Theresa and her group their all. The mecha unit was Anti-Entropy's means of fighting the Honkai, and if they handed over command to Shen Gonglin ... Although she hadn't had much contact with him yet, Einstein knew Shen Gonglin well enough—he was a reckless little rascal, and they couldn't let him run wild. However, before Einstein could finish speaking, she discovered that half of the command of the mecha unit under her control had been taken away. Looking at the unobstructed contact notification on the screen, Einstein was somewhat dumbfounded. Had Tesla taken away her command? Hadn't she lost contact?
[Hehe, it really is this password. Looks like Godzilla didn't lie to me. Miss Einstein, I now have control of the ballista units. Please have the Titan Mech form a defensive front, maintaining a barrier about five meters high to hold off attacks. Buy me some time.]
Picking up the control panel from the destroyed mech on the ground, Shen Gonglin, whose hacking skills were no less than Bronya's, easily gained partial command of the mech. In fact, even the most skilled hacker wouldn't be able to seize command so easily, but this time Shen Gonglin physically hacked in. He knew the control password. After separating from Tesla last time, the two had actually kept in touch privately. Shen Gonglin often texted Tesla to chat and relieve boredom. As a result, in some way, Shen Gonglin learned the password that Tesla usually liked to use. With just a little test, he actually entered the command center of the mech force, which was really unexpected.
That girl seemed honest and straightforward; I suddenly felt like such a jerk for giving her the fake password.
"Tesla told you... Ms. Theresa, is this the student you're so proud of? We came to help out of kindness, and now we've suddenly lost command of half of the mechs. This is what you call sabotaging your teammates."
In the Hyperion, Einstein calmly turned to look at Theresa. She hadn't expected Tesla to be so foolish as to tell Shen Gonglin the command code of the mech unit. The command of the mech unit they brought this time was divided into two parts. Now Einstein could only control his own part, and he had no control over the powerful ballista squadron. Was this his good ally?
"Ah... didn't your people tell him themselves? Don't worry, Shen Gonglin is very reliable. He's also good at battlefield command. It's fine to leave it to him."
Theresa, standing next to Einstein, felt a little embarrassed. She had been surprised and worried about Kiana's current situation, but she hadn't expected Shen Gonglin to suddenly pull this stunt. Only Shen Gonglin could do something like betraying his teammates. Knowing his willful and reckless personality, Theresa could only scratch her face to cover for Shen Gonglin. When did he get the command code for the Anti-Entropy Mecha unit? Maybe Shen Gonglin wasn't suited for combat, but rather for being an undercover agent?
"On-site command? The intelligence didn't mention that he had such skills. Ms. Theresa, if I may ask, where did Shen Gonglin go for further studies? Can he really be trusted?"
Hearing Theresa say this, Einstein finally felt a little relieved. She was afraid that Shen Gonglin would act recklessly after gaining command. It would be much better if she had received professional training. As far as Einstein knew, the Valkyrie training of Schicksal did indeed include a course on on-site command, but in her opinion, it was like children playing house.
"It's... it's a strategy game. He can defeat many enemies on the highest difficulty by himself. I've watched him play, he's really good."
Theresa said somewhat embarrassedly that she did want to promote Shen Gonglin, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only thing he had to do with strategy. Back then, Shen Gonglin skipped class to go to her office to play games, and he filled his office computer with games. When he played, Theresa could only move a chair next to him and work while watching him play. So Theresa knew that he was very good at playing games.
"Is it a game...? Suddenly I feel like Anti-Entropy might be in big trouble this time. Shen Gonglin, listen to my command. Just follow your previous plan. I will control the Titan Mech to form a defensive line on the front line, and you will control the ballista squadron to lock onto the target. Don't worry about causing any damage to the target. Judging from the intensity of Honkai energy, such firepower will only weaken her combat power."
Even if Theresa said something else, Einstein wouldn't believe her. A game is a game, but this is a real battlefield. She took a deep breath and swallowed back the complaints that were about to come out. All she could do now was trust Shen Gonglin. It was indeed difficult for her to control two mech units by herself before, and many mechs had to be controlled by AI. Now that Shen Gonglin had shared half of the workload, it made things much easier for her. Tactically speaking, he had no problems. Let's do it this way.
[Received, hehe, I've wanted to do this for a while now. All the fear stems from insufficient firepower. A mere Herrscher, Kiana, watch how I unleash my firepower on you!]
Shen Gonglin's voice was unusually excited. Under his control, the ballista squadron had completed its assembly, and under the cover of firepower, everything was just!
Chapter 120 Your family has to pay compensation!
