Chapter 158

As the light circle unfolded, Shen Gonglin fell beside the Herrscher, held captive by a strange spatial force. Shen Gonglin looked at Mei, who was struggling to fight not far away, with great worry. Never before had she hated herself for not being able to regain her power. If only she still had her power... No, this was not a reason for her not to fight. Himeko had taught her that no matter what, she must never give up hope of fighting.

"Don't worry, I won't kill her now. At least I have to get my jewel back... Hehe, you're so naughty. Now is not the time to do this. If you bite me, even I would lose control right now. Shen Gonglin, after everything is over, I don't mind playing this kind of game with you."

The Herrscher, standing on Belenaus' back, looked at Mei struggling to stay afloat. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Rin Shen Gonglin lunge at her and immediately understood his intentions. She had been on guard against this move all along, having been observing everything from inside Kiana's body. Shen Gonglin Kamiya's gleaming white teeth biting her wouldn't be a good thing. She tilted her head to avoid his two Shen Gonglin fangs, simultaneously reaching out to press down on the back of Shen Gonglin head, pinning him to her shoulder. She couldn't afford to be bitten now; her body wasn't fully occupied yet, and if he bit her, who knew what would happen?

Damn it, even this trick doesn't work?

Her physical abilities were inferior even to those of a typical Valkyrie, let alone Herrscher. With those slender arms pressing down on the back of her head, Shen Gonglin felt as if she were bound by steel bars. Her vampire genes were Shen Gonglin last resort, but if they couldn't bite her, she was helpless. She had never felt so powerless in this situation. Damn it, she couldn't think of any good solutions. What could she possibly do to deal with this situation? She had to think of something, there must be a way.

"Let go of my lovely student!"

Golden chains appeared in the void, binding the Herrscher with the girl's adorable voice. Simultaneously, Shen Gonglin was pulled aside by the chains. Shen Gonglin had imagined a scenario where someone suddenly appears to save a princess in a moment of crisis, but he never expected to be the princess himself. Looking at the small figure carrying him away from the Herrscher's control, Shen Gonglin covered his face. He was utterly ashamed. Why was it a peerless loli who saved him? He should have been the one saving her! He was utterly disgraced; he was a disgrace to the Kamiya family.

"Shen Gonglin, it's alright... Hey, don't jump into my arms. We're fighting. I can't control Judah like this."

Theresa finally arrived at the crucial moment, looking every bit the superhero. At that moment Theresa felt incredibly cool, even more so than the great hero HOMU. But as soon as she landed, why did Shen Gonglin jump into her arms? Was it because she was too scared after being captured by the Herrscher? But why was he rubbing against her chest like that? Was he really that timid?

"Why did you take so long to get here! Look at what Mei looks like after being beaten up. Do you know how scared I was? When she grabbed me just now, I thought she was going to tear me apart and eat me alive. Don't do that again. You have to come right away if I'm in danger."

Completely abandoning her image and letting loose, Shen Gonglin grabbed Theresa's waist and shouted loudly. Mei, who was leaning Mei, looked conflicted. Shen Gonglin really knew how to spout nonsense. The Herrscher was going to tear him apart and eat him? After fighting for so long, she was the only one who got beaten up. And what did she mean by "beating herself up like this"? She didn't have a black eye or anything, did she?

Thinking of this, Mei quickly touched her cheek. This was a very important thing for a girl. You shouldn't hit someone in the face. I hope my face wasn't injured just now.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll definitely come right away next time... Can you let me go now? I'll apologize to you later."

Why does it feel like I'm the one who's wrong? Never mind, Theresa's Shen Gonglin behavior. This guy is usually as mischievous as a shrimp, but now he's as soft and limp as a cat after losing his power. I wish Shen Gonglin was like this all the time... Why do I kind of hope he never recovers?

Shen Gonglin is so cute like this, I hope she stays this way for a while longer.

"Shen Gonglin, let's talk about being cute later. If you don't get out of the headmistress's arms soon, the Herrscher over there is going to bite you. I don't know what happened before, but now, she might really be angry."

Bronya's calm voice reached Shen Gonglin's ears. So she was here too. Nobody had even noticed her... But what did she mean by that? Do Herrscher bite?

After rubbing against Theresa greedily, Shen Gonglin finally pulled his head out of her arms. As soon as he turned around, he met a pair of golden eyes. Hiss, Bronya was right, those eyes could practically devour someone alive.

Chapter 125 The Talkative Herrscher

"Do you think I'm... dead?!"

The high and mighty Queen gritted her teeth. Was this guy really that unwilling to stay by her side? He was actually acting cute towards a little girl. It seemed that she had indeed been too lenient with him. She shouldn't have given this kind of Shen Gonglin any kindness. She should have crippled him and then kept him by her side.

Did he think that they would be saved when these two people came? No matter how many people came, it wouldn't make a difference to her. The Herrscher stepped forward, and the golden chains binding her made a series of teeth-grinding sounds. Did they think that such things could restrain them? How naive! Today, Miss Herrscher is going to eat a person raw, without any sauce!

"Weak, insignificant, overestimating yourselves, struggling in your death throes—this only hastens your demise. Did you think you could defeat me by pooling your resources together? After all this time, you still don't understand this principle... Oh? Little girl, you look familiar. Why are you blocking my way again?"

The golden chains collapsed, and the Herrscher stood unaffected before Theresa. Theresa still remembered the Herrscher, especially her eyes. Herrscher saw many things in those eyes, but they were all meaningless and boring. All she had to do was crush their hopes.

"Stop talking nonsense! That body doesn't belong to you. Give it back now!"

With Shen Gonglin and the others behind her, Theresa held a golden spear in each hand, ready for battle. Her face was still that of the idiot she remembered, but her aura was completely different from what she remembered. This stupid Herrscher has taken over her cute niece's body, hurry up and give Kiana's body back!

"Not mine? How laughable! This body is a vessel prepared for me by greedy humans, a sacrifice prepared for my birth. In my eyes, all your efforts are as meaningless as ants... Oh, no, even ants have value. Watching your clumsy, puppet-like dance is not without its amusement. Let Bella give you some pointers on your dance moves. I think she'll find it very interesting."

Because Shen Gonglin's actions just now angered the Herrscher, the Herrscher didn't intend to hold back against him. As long as he wasn't killed, it was fine. It was just the opening ceremony, and Bella's appearance was enough. She would just enjoy what a wonderful opening ceremony was like.

With a sharp roar, the dragon, having received the Queen's command, flapped its wings, creating a whirlwind of explosive energy. A fiery breath, crackling with electricity, was unleashed at the group on the ground. Mei drew her katana, ready for battle, while Bronya stepped forward to meet the breath, raising her little hand. The Heavy-duty Rabbit's weapons had been replaced, Bronya had rested long enough; it was time for her to rejoin the team.

"Honkai energy field shield, functioning normally. Drive unit Yamabuki, full functionality unlocked, commencing operation at maximum power. Star of Eden charging ready, launch!"

A pale light screen unfolded, protecting the people around her. Bronya's Heavy-duty Rabbit appeared beside her, and several black energy bullets shot out from the newly equipped weapons on the Heavy-duty Rabbit. The Dragon-Type Honkai Beast's breath collided with the black energy bullets and scattered like rain of light onto the protective shield. Now was not the time to be sleepy. Bronya was also their reliable teammate!

Bronya, you changed your equipment?

"When did the Heavy-duty Rabbit develop such firepower?" Shen Gonglin looked at the girls blocking her way with considerable surprise. First it was Mei, then Theresa, and then Bronya. They were all standing beside her, protecting Kiana in their own ways. These two lolis were really reliable one after another. They might be a little more reliable than Mei, after all, Mei was really too severe just now. Maybe they could buy her enough time. Shen Gonglin's recovery was still in progress. Honkai energy was overflowing everywhere on the battlefield, and Shen Gonglin was Honkai energy the Great Void Sword Qi to refine this Honkai energy and nourish herself. However, the speed was still a bit slow. Before she recovered, she had to rely on them to hold her up.

"It was a gift from the Doctor. Bronya doesn't know the exact source, but this thing can harm Herrscher."

Bronya, with a serious expression, explained to Shen Gonglin that whatever it was, it was a good thing as long as it could be useful right now. Shen Gonglin didn't have any combat abilities, so she had to protect him. And there was also the matter of that idiot Kiana. This Herrscher had to return what belonged to Kiana.

The three stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Gonglin. Theresa, Mei, and Bronya formed a protective formation to guard against the Herrscher in front of them. Melee combat, control, and ranged firepower output—this lineup was the best choice to deal with the Herrscher!

"Oh? Why isn't the program going as I planned? What a disappointing start. Alright, alright, since you've already broken the script, it's time to get to the main event. I'm tired of this plot anyway!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Herrscher used her power to control space. Theresa and the others instantly realized that their surroundings had changed. The remaining mech units had already assembled and were ready to participate in the battle, but the Herrscher had made them lose their target. The Second Herrscher's power to control space was indeed very troublesome.

"We can no longer contact the Hyperion. It seems we've been teleported away. Mei, Bronya, fight seriously until the Hyperion can confirm our location. We still have a trump card up our sleeve. Shen Gonglin, protect yourself."

Having made a quick decision, Theresa whispered instructions to Mei and Bronya. She understood that there was a huge gap in strength between them and the enemy, but they had to try their best even if the chance was small. She didn't know how powerful the Hyperion would be after Hyperion fused with that thing. In short, now was the time to fight the Herrscher.

"Alright, I feel much more comfortable in this new environment. Now it's time for the losers to exit. Hmm, let me think. First, there's that little girl with the weird hairstyle, then there's that little girl holding the cross... I misspoke, it's the little girl holding the cross, and then there's my half... This time I'm talking about Mei. You have to stay last. Are you ready to exit in order?"

This Herrscher seems to have a talkative streak. It seems that even after becoming Herrscher, she is still mentally challenged. Theresa and the others turn a deaf ear to what the Herrscher says. No matter what she says, they have their own things to do!

Chapter 126 Mei's Poisonous Milk

Holding a little girl's crucifix? I've never been insulted like this before. It seems that even in her current state, she can still make me angry. It's time to show her what Auntie's wrath is like. I need to make her understand that Auntie is still Auntie!

Without uttering a word, they completed their battle plan through eye contact. The situation before them was incredibly dire, yet they had no intention of backing down. They refused to believe that Kiana had been defeated by the Herrscher; they believed the real Kiana was still inside the Herrscher's body. If they could defeat the Herrscher, they could definitely bring her back. To fight against a god with human power—the thought alone was exhilarating. After being the headmistress for so long, it was time for them to fight seriously.

"Oh? These eyes are not bad. I see concern, care, and deep guilt in them. I remember seeing these eyes before I fell asleep. The owner of those eyes naively reached out to me, thinking she could protect me, but she didn't understand me at all, and she couldn't save me at all. She was just indulging in self-pity about redemption and relief... Compared to that time, you haven't improved at all."

The battle was over before it even began. Before Theresa could react, the Herrscher's voice rang in her ears. For Herrscher who controls space, distance was no problem at all. Golden light flashed, and the Herrscher of the Void instantly appeared beside Theresa. Then Theresa felt a wave of dizziness. When she regained consciousness, her petite body had been thrown into the air, her neck was being tightly gripped, and her limbs were being locked by an unseen force, rendering her unable to move. Theresa painfully opened her eyes. The cold, golden eyes before her stung her heart. Was this the power of Herrscher? It really was, ridiculously strong.

"I know it's no use saying anything now... but don't underestimate humans, you damn Herrscher, I've got you now!"

A painful sound escaped her lips as Theresa forcibly gripped the Herrscher's wrists tightly with both hands. Before the battle began, Theresa had anticipated this situation. For an enemy who controlled space, controlling her was the top priority. At this distance, everything was within Theresa's plan; she couldn't escape. Judah, activate!

Golden chains reappeared from the void, binding the Herrscher in the air and rendering her immobile. Now was Bronya's time to shine. She also held Divine Key in her hand. With two Divine Key in hand, even Herrscher would have to suffer a lot.

"Star of Eden, maximum power, launch."

Normally she's like an innocent and harmless little girl, but on the battlefield, Bronya showed a composure that surprised Shen Gonglin. The moment the Herrscher attacked her, she understood Theresa's plan. The weapon on the mechanical arm of the Heavy-duty Rabbit began to charge up at that moment. The talkative Herrscher said enough, and if that's enough, then please take another shot from me.

"Mei, give me your hand, and I'll use electricity... Anyway, you know how I usually hit her, right? Here, take this coin. Figure out a way to get her fired."

How could she be left out when focusing fire on Herrscher? Although she was currently unable to fight, Mei was. Mei had far more electricity than she did. Taking out a coin from her pocket, Shen Gonglin stood behind her, supporting Mei's hand, and aimed at the Herrscher had been talking incessantly from the beginning. This girl talked too much; Shen Gonglin would feel guilty if she didn't give her a good beating.

And so, Bronya's Star of Eden and the combined Railgun of Shen Gonglin and Mei fired straight at the Herrscher of the Void, who was bound by Judah's chains. Shen Gonglin squinted, waiting for the moment of contact, but Mei gave another jinx.

"Did it succeed?"

Although it's not right to have these emotions during battle, Mei can't control them. Held in Shen Gonglin's arms like this, Mei had only instinctively cooperated with Shen Gonglin to fire that Railgun shot. After it was over, Mei quickly took a step to the side to move slightly away from Shen Gonglin, and then she quietly took another step closer. This should have worked, right? This was their joint attack.

"... I don't know if it would have succeeded before, but since Mei said that, I think it's probably doomed. Mei, didn't I tell you not to jinx things during battle? You never listen to me."

Enraged, she reached out and slapped Mei's butt. The loud slap drew everyone's attention. Mei, shocked, covered her bottom. Why was Shen Gonglin suddenly hitting her? She knew her performance today might have been a bit lackluster, but what did this have to do with her? What did she mean by "poisonous milk"? Her milk wasn't poisonous... No, she didn't have any milk at all... No, did she have any or not...? It was clearly a slap on the butt, not the head. Why did Mei feel like her thoughts were all a bit muddled?

"Oh? You caught me? You don't actually think this outdated toy works, do you?"

Just as Shen Gonglin had predicted, the Herrscher easily broke free of her chains thanks to Mei's "poisonous milk" (a Chinese idiom for being overly optimistic). As Bronya's attack and the Railgun approached, the Herrscher evaded their attacks by entering a spatial dimension. Shen Gonglin Mei at Mei, who blushed deeply at Shen Gonglin's meaningful gaze.

"This, this has nothing to do with me! If it were that easy to defeat Herrscher, what kind of Herrscher would she be? Even without my jinxing... even without me saying those words, she would definitely be fine. Shen Gonglin, don't look at me like that. This has nothing to do with me... Waaah, I was wrong, okay? This is a battlefield, don't be so willful and reckless, okay? Wait until we get back, you can teach me a lesson when we get back, okay?"

Unable to bear Shen Gonglin's gaze, Mei blushed and shouted, "I'm not taking the blame for this! Why should I be blamed for their attacks being ineffective? There's no scientific basis for this at all! Shen Gonglin is just too willful! You can't just touch those places like that, especially in this kind of environment..." Seeing Shen Gonglin raise her hand again, Mei was startled. "Please, can't you give me some face? There are other people watching!"

Chapter 127 The Class Representative for Chinese Language

"Did you think your clever trick worked? Did you see victory? Did you feel hope? A great drama always has a thrilling twist. You really gave me a wonderful performance. The will to live, the hope for the future, everything to be protected with all your might, and... you two, did you really think I was dead? Shen Gonglin, you have successfully angered me. Your existence is utterly worthless. Die!"

The talkative Herrscher continued her rambling, but as she spoke, she realized that everyone's attention seemed to be elsewhere. The Herrscher turned her head and saw Shen Gonglin and Mei interacting. She should have been the main character here, but now not only Shen Gonglin and Mei, but even Theresa, whom she was choking, and Bronya were all focused on that. Very good, very good indeed. Everyone, look over here.

The Herrscher of the Void roared, and Benares behind her seemed to sense the Queen's anger as well. The Dragon-Type Honkai Beast opened its mouth and let out a hiss. The group, who had been distracted, finally refocused their attention. With Shen Gonglin present, the battle was anything but serious. He always had a way of making things go awry. So even in this predicament, Theresa and Mei didn't really feel like they were at their wits' end. This was probably because... he was there?

"Bella, what are you yelling about... Never mind, you want to take back this body and save this girl... Alright, alright, stop yelling. You're not allowed to make noise while I'm talking. Where was I?"

The Queen turned and glared at her retinue with an unfriendly look, while Benares looked aggrieved like a little dog borrowing the Queen's power. He had only thought of giving her some encouragement since they didn't seem to care about her, but who knew when she wanted him to bark? He felt so wronged.

"You want to take back this body and save this girl? Is that it? Is that it? She is your important partner, your beloved family member? Have you created precious and sweet memories together? Have you made an unbreakable promise? If so, then let me use her hands, her body, to kill you all one by one! Let the people she cherishes most suffer the most vicious pain and the cruelest death for trying to save her, let the beautiful past shatter bit by bit, and let them perish in despair and grief. I want your distorted faces and broken limbs to be the last sights she sees. Family, friends, lovers, happiness, dreams, future, hope... She shouldn't have them, she won't have them, she doesn't deserve them... It's time to begin."

Her emotions were poured into these words, and the Herrscher of the Void had previously appeared calm and composed, now seemed somewhat hysterical. Under such emotional circumstances, it was impossible to know what the Herrscher would do. Theresa had finally been freed, rubbed her neck and stood ready. The difference in combat power was simply too great; the few of them were completely useless.

"Given the current situation... please share any solutions you may have, hopefully they will be helpful."

Theresa had no battle plan at this point. The Herrscher's abilities were beyond their imagination, and their attacks were completely ineffective. She really didn't know what her grandfather's plan to awaken the Herrscher was for.

"She's definitely not Kiana. How could that silly deer be so good at Chinese? How could she say such pretentious things... And why do I feel like she's jealous? Is she thinking of destruction because she can't have it? How despicable... Why are you all looking at me like that... Ugh, Mei, why are you covering my mouth? Didn't Theresa say to say whatever you want?"

Shen Gonglin earnestly shared her insights. This shouldn't be some kind of second personality; it's completely a different person. Even Shen Gonglin was amazed by her current literary skills. Look how literary she was just saying! Shen Gonglin felt like she could write it all down in a notebook. Hearing her say this, Shen Gonglin felt as if something inside her was about to awaken—her own chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) side. But why were they looking at her like she was some village idiot? Was what she said wrong?

"Who told you to say that? I need strategy, strategy, not to mock her and make her angrier. Look at her now, she's practically ready to devour you alive. Do you really think she won't hurt you, which is why you're so reckless?"

Shen Gonglin's Theresa to shreds. Was this the time to discuss his language skills? Shen Gonglin might not be good at anything else, but he was really good at arguing with people. But shouldn't he consider the situation? He was usually incredibly strong and could spout nonsense at will, but now that he was so bad, he shouldn't be mocking her. No one can understand Herrscher's mind. Although the Herrscher didn't seem to have made any attacks on Shen Gonglin yet, the three of them were already covered in wounds. Putting herself in his shoes, if she were Herrscher, she would definitely beat Shen Gonglin to a pulp.

"... You too, she too, they're all like this... Okay, Shen Gonglin, you've successfully made me angry, but I'm magnanimous enough not to kill you. I'll just let you experience what it feels like to be powerless."

Shen Gonglin's reaction reminded the Herrscher of what Kiana had said to her before losing control of her body. No wonder they got along so well; their personalities were so similar. It had to be said that even the Herrscher of the Void was a little jealous. And what to do when you're jealous? Of course, you have to vent it. So far, she hasn't made any move against Shen Gonglin. But the Herrscher knows how to get revenge on him. She has to let him know that he can't do anything right now.

Let's start with Mei. During the fight just now, she dared to let Shen Gonglin spank her, which clearly shows that she didn't take me... her fight with me seriously. Also, I should take back the gems on Mei's body; they all belong to my power.

With a thought, the Herrscher instantly appeared in front of Shen Gonglin and Mei. Without even glancing at Shen Gonglin was not worth even looking at, the Herrscher's gaze was fixed on Mei... or rather, on the Conquest Gem within her. Her power, this beautiful lightning, should return.

Chapter 128 Not Now

Guided by some force, Mei felt something being drawn out of her body, but she had no power to resist. Only after facing the current Herrscher of the Void did Mei realize how powerful a true Herrscher was. Even with her resilient mind, she couldn't help but waver. Could they really defeat such an enemy? This Herrscher truly deserves to be called the agent of Honkai.

"Mei, Mei... my beloved half of body, my burning soul, come back to my embrace and become my power once more."

The Herrscher murmured softly, which, in Shen Gonglin's eyes, was just a case of overly literary and artistic tendencies stemming from her excellent academic performance. As she murmured, a light suddenly shone from Mei's chest, and a Mei -shaped gem was drawn out of her body. Shen Gonglin sensed the rhythm of Honkai energy; was this what was hidden within Mei? She could almost hear the thunder emanating from it. No, she couldn't let her take this away!

Shen Gonglin didn't understand why, but subconsciously he felt that Kiana was already troublesome enough, and if she got any more reinforcements, it would be even more difficult. Shen Gonglin reached out to snatch the gem, but the Herrscher didn't give him any chance this time. Although she treated Shen Gonglin differently, if he tried to interfere with the plan, he would have to be taught a lesson.

"Can't you just behave? You can just watch quietly."

A white spear emerged from the void. Lacking the Valkyrie's robust physique, Shen Gonglin felt a sharp pain in his shoulder as the Spear of the Void Shen Gonglin through it, pinning him to the wall. Such penetrating wounds heal easily, but perhaps it was a bit too severe. However, consider it a lesson for him.

The Herrscher was slightly moved, but her expression quickly returned to its icy state. She was the embodiment of Honkai, a queen who reigned supreme. She could give Shen Gonglin the necessary preferential treatment, but if he wanted to stop her actions, she could eliminate him without hesitation.

It would be even more convincing if the spear had actually pierced through Shen Gonglin's shoulder instead of his clothes.

Ouch, that hurts! This Herrscher is really tough to deal with.

When the spear pierced through his clothes, it also grazed Shen Gonglin's shoulder, and blood flowed down his arm. Pinned to the wall, Shen Gonglin was unable to move. Theresa and Bronya were also attacked and lost their fighting ability. Damn it, am I now unable to do anything?

[Strong fluctuations in consciousness detected; bloodline awakening initiated.]

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice echoed in his mind. Shen Gonglin suddenly paused. He remembered this voice. He had heard it when he first came to the Schicksal Headquarters. At that time... that's right, it was when he came into contact with the Queen of the Void... that is, the Universal Angel Armor. He heard this voice in his mind as well. Bloodline awakening, what does that mean?

Unable to understand, Shen Gonglin felt that some things sealed in her head were being unlocked. Her damaged brain was recovering under the healing of the Honkai energy refined by the Great Void Sword Qi. Not only that, but some things that were not there before seemed to be returning. In short, Shen Gonglin felt that she might have been a very, very powerful person before.

"Shen Gonglin... uh..."

Seeing Shen Gonglin injured, Mei turned around anxiously. Taking advantage of her unstable state of mind, the Herrscher accelerated the absorption of her own gem. The Conquest Gem was easily extracted from Mei's body, and then the girl was thrown aside. The Herrscher looked at the gem shining with lightning in her hand and showed a satisfied smile. This is it. This thing was originally hers.

"Hahaha... What melodious thunder, what beautiful lightning! Come, become a sacrifice to the gods! Now is the time of judgment!"

The Conquest Gem stolen from Mei was absorbed into the Herrscher's body, making the already formidable enemy even more powerful. A strong Honkai energy fluctuation arose around the Herrscher. Mei, despite her weakened state, managed to reach Shen Gonglin's side. With all her might, she pulled the Spear of the Void from the wall. She shielded Shen Gonglin behind her, and seeing his tattered clothes and bloodied appearance, Mei's eyes flashed with deep reluctance. Now they were truly at their wits' end; everyone had lost the ability to fight. Was this really how it had to end?

"That expression shouldn't be on your face, Mei. Now is not the time to give up. What, does that girl think she's Thanos? She's really on the path of collecting gems. I'm not going to swallow this insult. Cheer up, now is not the time to admit defeat."

Stepping out from behind Mei, Shen Gonglin tightened the fabric around her shoulders to temporarily stop the bleeding. She still didn't quite understand the voice that had just echoed in her head, but now that Mei and Theresa were both incapacitated, it was her turn to step in. She had been worried about affecting their condition before, but now that things had come to this point, there was no other way but to do so. She had to consider it a do-or-die situation.

"Shen Gonglin, do we really have to do this?"

Bronya brought Theresa to Shen Gonglin. As a loli who completely trusts Shen Gonglin knew exactly what position he wanted to use with just a flick of his finger. Bronya hadn't forgotten Shen Gonglin's physical characteristics, but even so, it would probably be useless against such Bronya enemy.

"Do you have any other ideas now? Bronya, help me undress the headmistress. I'll start with Mei. As for you, I'll let you off this time. We need to keep at least one person who can move freely."

He wrapped his arms around Mei's waist. As expected of Bronya, she was so in tune with him. She knew what he was thinking as soon as he had a thought. Shen Gonglin could recover her strength by drinking blood, but now they were all powerless to fight. The only one they could rely on was him.

"Wait a minute, Shen Gonglin, not now... Ugh... Ugh..."

I still don't understand what Shen Gonglin wants to do, why he made Bronya take off the headmistress's clothes, and why he's hugging my waist... and why he's pressing his face against mine... Oh, that's it. I was so stupid to pout just now. I hope no one saw me.

A strange sound came from Mei's mouth, and the girl's body collapsed limply to the ground. Seeing Mei's miserable state, Theresa trembled all over. Seeing Principal Bronya approaching, she fearfully covered her clothes. This, this is not what I want!

Chapter 129 Kiana is under my control

"Headmistress, hurry up and take it off. Mei alone can't convert enough stamina for me. Bronya needs to conserve her stamina to deal with unforeseen circumstances. Now, you're the only one left. I've wanted to do this for a long time. Headmistress, the Honkai energy in your body is much greater than that of an ordinary Valkyrie. Let me take a breath. This is the last resort."

He placed Mei on the ground, letting the flushed girl lean against the wall to rest. Shen Gonglin stood up and slowly walked towards Theresa. In Theresa's eyes, Shen Gonglin, with bloodstains on his lips, looked exceptionally alluring. What was he saying? Couldn't Mei satisfy him? This guy was definitely after her. The fact that he gave his fake self CPR in the illusion proved it. This guy had no intention of letting anyone go.

"Headmaster, please trust Shen Gonglin. I have always trusted him."

Bronya has now become an accomplice of the Demon King. She puts her arm around Theresa's shoulder from behind and says that she is willing to let Shen Gonglin absorb her, but if she is absorbed, she will end up in the same state as Mei. Bronya is in the best condition right now, so she needs to conserve her strength to take care of Mei and Theresa, who will be unable to move later. So the Mei has to step in.

"I, I... Okay! I'll do it, okay? Bronya, you'll only learn bad things from Shen Gonglin... At least, at least let me do it myself. Shen Gonglin, come on, I'm telling you, you have to do your best and bring Kiana back!"

Theresa was on the verge of tears. Faced with this moral imperative, she had no choice but to obey. Shen Gonglin was a villain, Bronya was an accomplice; she was being put on the spot. But now there was truly no other option. Shen Gonglin was the village's last hope. Although doing this might damage her authority as headmistress, it was insignificant compared to her niece. If she could transform into Shen Gonglin's power to save Kiana, Theresa would do it without hesitation. This was her last vestige of dignity as headmistress!
