Chapter 188

"Okay, there you have it. Theresa and I are number one, Dr. Tesla, Bronya and Mei are number two, and Shen Gonglin abstained from voting. It's three to two, so option two wins."

The voting results are in. Since this is the solution decided by everyone's vote, Einstein won't say much. After all, no one can directly judge which solution is right or wrong. Since it has been decided, let's just implement it to the fullest extent. The next step is to decide who will be in charge of the group. Tesla looked at everyone in front of him, rested his chin on his hand, and quietly thought. If the group is to be divided, the selection of personnel is indeed a problem.

"I've already discussed this with Ms. Theresa. If we implement Plan Two, we've considered the group assignments. Ms. Theresa, myself, Bronya, and Shen Gonglin will travel together on the Hyperion Cocolia transfer the Gem of Desire. Since we might have to fight the Schicksal forces, we need to maintain sufficient combat power here. Dr. Tesla and Mei will travel on the Helios to the Anti-Entropy Headquarters to use the equipment there to repair the humanoid machines. This side is relatively safer. This is the group assignment that we've considered based on everyone's situation. Do you have any objections?"

Taking into account all possible scenarios, Einstein made the following arrangements: He was more familiar with Sea Abyss City, Theresa was the representative of the Hyperion, Bronya should care a lot about Cocolia's situation, and Shen Gonglin was a strong guarantee for the success of the plan. It was the best arrangement for them to go to Sea Abyss City to contact Cocolia, Mei and Tesla went to headquarters to repair the humanoid machine.

"Tsk, no."

Tesla glanced at Shen Gonglin, secretly spitting out her own saliva before reluctantly agreeing to the pairing. Although she was a tsundere, Tesla wouldn't act impulsively at a time like this. She knew this pairing was the most correct, though it was a bit of a pity, but there was nothing she could do about it... No! Not at all a pity, she never intended to team up with Shen Gonglin!

"I trust Dr. Einstein and the headmaster's judgment, and we will carry out the mission well."

Mei nodded in agreement with the group assignment, which was indeed the most suitable arrangement at the moment. With Mei Shen Gonglin, she would feel much more at ease. Although he was notoriously unreliable, almost everyone had a strange confidence in him. With him around, it should be quite safe.

"Bronya has no objection either, and I think Shen Gonglin feels the same way."

Bronya's eyes gleamed. If she implemented Plan Two, she should be able to see Cocolia soon. There were some things she needed to explain to her in person.

Chapter 100 Shen Gonglin's Worries

Now that the group assignments have been decided, there's no time to waste. On the deck of the Hyperion, everyone stood before the Helios to see Tesla and Mei off. The two of them were going to take the android girl to the Anti-Entropy Headquarters and use the equipment there to recover the data in the humanoid girl's brain and figure out Kiana's current location. The rest of the group would go with Einstein to Sea Abyss City to meet up with Cocolia. It was time to part ways.

"Mei, be very careful. Rita already knows the data inside the humanoid brain. She will definitely continue to track Kiana, and you will likely have to deal with her again. This time, without Shen Gonglin present, she will definitely not show any mercy. I believe you know how troublesome that guy is, so you must be careful in everything you do."

Before Mei and Tesla boarded the Helios, Theresa gave Mei some worried instructions. She didn't know when they would be able to reunite in Sea Abyss City. Although Mei's side was relatively safe, there was still a possibility of interference from Schicksal. She couldn't afford to lose anything more, so she had to make Mei act carefully. Without Shen Gonglin present, Rita would probably not show any mercy. Knowing the maid's true strength, Theresa was really afraid that Mei would face her.

"Don't worry, Headmistress. Even if we run into Rita, it's not the worst-case scenario. If it's her, she'll probably relax a little because of Shen Gonglin. So, Headmistress, you don't need to worry. Your situation is much more serious. This time, we're really going to fight against Schicksal directly... Headmistress, please keep an eye on Shen Gonglin's condition and make sure nothing happens to him."

Not worried about herself at all, Mei Shen Gonglin there. She had just picked him up from Sky City, and now they had to part again. However, this short separation was for the sake of being together for a long time in the future, so Mei could tolerate the current situation. The only thing that worried her was Shen Gonglin. How could Mei feel at ease without her by his side this time? Although she didn't seem to be of much use to him, just being by his side was a good thing.

"Don't worry, Shen Gonglin is also my student. I won't let anything happen to him. Besides, Mei, don't you trust Shen Gonglin? If it's him, there will definitely be no problem. And isn't Bronya there too? You should have a little more faith in him, just like you always have. Mei, you've always believed in him, haven't you?"

Theresa and Mei who was talking to Tesla. Shen Gonglin was slightly taken aback by Theresa's words, but then Mei smiled and said, "That's right. Isn't that what I've always done? When has Rin Shen Gonglin ever let me down in a crucial moment? Even though he's the epitome of unreliability, Mei is always willing to believe in him. That's how I am, that's how Bronya is, and even Kiana is the same way."

"Did you hear me? While I'm gone, you better behave and don't cause any trouble. I took some mechs and left some for you. Anyway, you know the operating codes, so if you really need to use them, save them! These are Anti-Entropy's strategic reserves... It's best if they don't need to be used..."

On the other side, Tesla, hands on her hips, grumbled to Shen Gonglin. Although she knew this grouping was the most suitable, it didn't diminish Tesla displeasure. She and Einstein had to split up; Ein was more familiar with Sea Abyss City, so the task of repairing the humanoid mechs at headquarters would have to be left to her. Even as she spoke, the proud Tesla maintained an arrogant demeanor. She hoped that Shen Gonglin and the others wouldn't encounter a situation requiring them to use mechs in combat.

"Oh, then you and Mei should be careful too... You absolutely have to fix my 2B, it's mine, Tesla, I'm counting on you for everything."

Shen Gonglin wasn't used to using those mechs in combat, but she wouldn't refuse Tesla's kindness. To take care of the situation here, she had deliberately left the mechs with the most firepower here, as her and Mei's combat strength was already quite weak. Then Einstein secretly assigned her own mech unit to the Helios, so it seemed that the two of them had a really good relationship. Not used to this kind of parting scene, Shen Gonglin patted Tesla on the shoulder. Since she needed something from her, she wouldn't call her Godzilla this time.

"Hmph, you only speak properly when you need something from me. Don't worry, with my skills, even if she only has a head left, I can fix it completely!"

Tesla snorted and made such a guarantee. This guy doesn't know how to care about himself, he only cares about little girls whose brains have been modified. Anyone can play this kind of game. It's not like he can't modify himself. Tesla also conducted human experiments on himself. If he had failed, he would have become Suicide Squad or Honkai Beast. He wondered if Shen Gonglin liked this kind of modification.

"I think it's still pretty creepy to have just a head. It's best to keep the human body, otherwise I feel really uncomfortable. Anyway, you two have to be careful."

Silence had fooled her. Shen Gonglin felt she still needed to give this mad scientist a heads-up. It wouldn't be good if she really did some random, haphazard modifications to her 2B-type girl. This lobster-headed girl had the potential to be a perverted scientist. Shen Gonglin looked at Mei. It was time for them to get moving.

"Okay, I understand... Shen Gonglin, take care of yourself, and Bronya, don't push yourself too hard either."

The Helios has already landed on the launch track and is ready to take off at any time. After saying this, Mei and Tesla boarded the warship without much reluctance or hesitation. After all, this is not a real farewell. The Helios soared into the sky. Shen Gonglin looked up at the sky and saw that it was soon reduced to a black dot. They should both be fine, right?

"Alright, Shen Gonglin, don't worry too much. Now we'll begin our mission. Trust Mei and the others; they'll be fine."

Seeing Shen Gonglin gazing at the sky, Theresa came over to comfort him, unlike her usual carefree self. It turns out that Shen Gonglin can also show this kind of expression.

"I understand the logic, but now that Mei's gone... who's going to cook?"

"Is this what you're worried about? "Shen Gonglin said worriedly, while Theresa was speechless. "So all this time you've been worried about this kind of thing?"

You really are something else.

Chapter 101 Kiana Alone

In Sky City, Shen Gonglin are making their own efforts, while the girl who lives alone in the city is also fighting her own battle. Honkai will not disappear because of personal will. In this seemingly prosperous and stable city, Honkai is still happening. As long as Honkai exists, there is no safe place in this world.

Is it because of me? Is it because of my existence that the Honkai happens around me? No, that's not it. The frequency and scope of these Honkai events have no necessary connection to me.

Today, Sky City remains peaceful, with explosions and the sounds of Honkai Beast raging everywhere. On this battlefield, a white figure is rapidly moving between the city's buildings. The girl grits her teeth as she looks at the Honkai scene around her. Over this period of time, she has come to clearly understand the extent of the harm that Honkai can cause to the entire world.

[A Honkai disaster is currently occurring in the northern part of Sky City. Residents of this area are urged to evacuate immediately and proceed to the nearest shelter. Sky Patrols are en route to the affected area. Repeating...]

"The northern urban area, huh...?"

The girl murmured softly. After hearing the news on the city radio, Kiana stood between buildings and turned to look north. There, flames and explosions rose and fell, and every single life was being lost. Should she go there...? Kiana gently bit her lip. Would going there really make a difference now?

Kiana, give up. You can't fight anymore. Without Shen Gonglin by your side, I can't effectively suppress the Honkai energy within you. You're powerless now. Get away from that area.

Such a voice suddenly rang in Kiana's heart, but as always, Kiana chose to ignore it. Her brows furrowed tightly. What should she do now? If it were Shen Gonglin, what would he do? If he were still by her side... Kiana didn't even need to think to know what decision the two of them would make. It was as if he were still by her side. The two of them were the cat guardians of this city.

Remembering the jokes they had made back then, Kiana's gaze towards that area was filled with determination once more. Even if Shen Gonglin wasn't there now, Catman was still Catman. If he came back and found out that she couldn't even handle this situation, that brat would definitely laugh at her rudely.

Taking a deep breath, Kiana rushed to the site of the Honkai. Even without Shen Gonglin, she, Kiana, was still Kiana Kaslana. Extending a helping hand to those in need was the Kaslana family motto. If she couldn't even do this, then she truly couldn't bear the Kaslana family name. This was something she could be proud of for a lifetime, and nothing could make her give up this pride. Even if she might change her name to Jingu Naka in the future, Kiana would always keep the Kaslana family motto firmly in mind.

[Well...]

A soft sigh escaped her lips, ignored as always. Fu Hua, whose mind was bound to Kiana, felt helpless. After Shen Gonglin left, she was completely powerless to deal with Kiana. The child simply wouldn't listen to her. If she came into contact with Honkai energy in her current state... Oh well, since Shen Gonglin entrusted Kiana to her, she had to take responsibility. If only her body were still intact, it would be much easier to stop Kiana or do anything else. But in her current state, to condense a physical body... she should start preparing now.

It's all Shen Gonglin's fault. Because he spoils Kiana too much, she's become so willful and unruly. She's just like Shen Gonglin. Luckily, I have plenty of experience with Shen Gonglin. I should be able to use these methods on Kiana too. Fu Hua is quite skilled at disciplining disobedient children...

What kind of experience is this? Trying to discipline Shen Gonglin only turned him into this rebellious student who's always thinking about his master's health. Can someone like this really properly educate Kiana? Suddenly, Fu Hua began to deeply doubt her own educational abilities. She seemed truly unreliable when it came to educating people. She'd managed to turn Shen Gonglin into this mess, and now Kiana had completely ignored her attempts to help. Was she really the most unsuccessful educator ever?

"Phew... So, is this area cleaned up now?"

After a gunshot, Kiana put down her gun with a headache, and the last Honkai Beast fell to the ground. After confirming that the danger was temporarily over, Kiana finally breathed a sigh of relief. After this battle, Kiana could feel that the other personality hidden in her body was showing signs of awakening again.

It's so annoying. As long as you use or get close to Honkai energy, that thing will wake up. And every way the Valkyrie fights uses Honkai energy. Even when she gets to the scene of Honkai, she has to use Honkai energy to strengthen her body so she can get there quickly. The bullets used in her guns are also condensed with Honkai energy to effectively damage the Honkai Beast. Kiana felt her body couldn't take it anymore after just clearing out this small area of Honkai Beast.

"It's... it's safe now, let's go to the safe zone..."

Kiana pressed her temples hard and forced a smile at the people hiding under the ruins. Her purpose in coming here was to save these people who might perish under the Honkai. It was indeed not enough for her to do it alone. If Shen Gonglin was also there, those Honkai Beasts would definitely not be a problem.

"Thank you, thank you..."

The people hidden beneath the ruins looked around at the devastated battlefield with trepidation. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of this girl, they would probably have perished at the hands of these monsters. Hearing Kiana's words, the people who had been hiding quickly crawled out and left. Several of them whispered their thanks to Kiana. This girl actually had the ability to fight those monsters. They really had to thank her this time.

Alright, it's time to head to the next place. We can't use the gun anymore; using Honkai energy again would be too dangerous. Kiana took a deep breath and put the gun away. She picked up a baseball bat from the roadside and weighed it in her hand. This thing is just right.

Chapter 102 Control of the Body

Kiana, stop fighting. You can no longer come into contact with Honkai energy. I can feel her waking up. Without Shen Gonglin's suppression this time, I can't do anything effective against her. Go. There's nothing you can do now.

Kiana, panting heavily, traversed the devastated battlefield. Her deliberate avoidance of using Honkai energy in battle had left the girl utterly exhausted. While her stamina was considerable, it remained within the realm of humanity. Honkai Kiana in this state was far too strenuous. Sweat dripped from her forehead into her eyes, causing a burning pain. Fu Hua's voice echoed in her mind. Kiana remained silent. She knew her current condition, but if she couldn't do anything...

"I can't do anything... No, I must do what I'm supposed to do!"

Watching Shen Gonglin pressure her mind in the virtual space to fulfill her dream, she was powerless. When Fu Hua and Durandal took her away from St. Freya, she was powerless again. Even as the Herrscher of the Void, she was powerless. And when Himeko disappeared, her fate unknown, to save her, she felt the same way... Enough. Kiana truly felt it was enough. The girl hated this excuse of being powerless. Why wasn't Shen Gonglin here? If he were...

Kiana shook her head, her azure eyes filled with determination. Even if he wasn't there, she had to be able to do anything.

Fu Hua, hidden in Kiana's mind, shook her head. Such frequent contact with Honkai energy only accelerate Kiana's awakening time, but she obviously couldn't persuade Kiana. This was already a good improvement. Before, Kiana completely ignored her, but now at least she was willing to listen to what she had to say, even if she still didn't intend to communicate with her. But... Just as Fu Hua was about to say something more, a scream came from not far away again. Both Kiana and Fu Hua were already used to this kind of scream.

"Run! Don't look back, I'll hold it off!"

Seeing the mother and child trembling under the Honkai Beast's spear, Kiana rushed forward without hesitation. She gripped the metal baseball bat with both hands, blocking the white spear in the Honkai Beast's hand. The unreasonable force made Kiana grit her teeth. Human strength was no match for the Honkai Beast's power. No, Kiana finally used the power of the Valkyrie within her. The Honkai energy the potential in every part of her body. Only in this way could she withstand the Honkai Beast's attack.

But such an outcome is also quite obvious.

Blood-red lines crept across Kiana's face, and one of her once clear, lake-blue eyes was now stained gold. A violent headache made Kiana feel like she was about to grind her teeth to dust, yet even in this state, Kiana forced herself to retreat. Seeing the lines on Kiana's face and her heterochromatic eyes, the mother and child, who had been paralyzed with fear, were too terrified to utter a word. They hurriedly stood up and ran away into the distance. Now they were safe...

Kiana breathed a slight sigh of relief after rescuing the two. With a strong push, she created distance between herself and the Honkai Beast in front of her. However, the Honkai Beast phantoms that kept appearing in front of her blocked all her paths. Kiana body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, and her mind felt as if she would fall asleep and be replaced if she relaxed. Had she reached her limit...? She had wanted to wait for Shen Gonglin to come back for dinner, but now, was there no way out for her?

"I can't die here..."

She wasn't so easily defeated. Her life no longer belonged to her own; Shen Gonglin certainly wouldn't want to see her like this. At least she had to hold on and see him one more time. Shen Gonglin was in all the futures Kiana envisioned, and she believed she definitely had a place in Shen Gonglin's future. If she died at the hands of Honkai Beast of this level now, even if she fell into hell, Shen Gonglin would probably laugh at her. So she had to try harder.

Taking a deep breath, Kiana forced herself to calm down and thought about how Shen Gonglin had taught her back then. Not only could Rin take over her body, but she could also use her power, the power of the Herrscher of the Void... If Shen Gonglin could do it, then she could do it too!

"Oh? You really can do it? He's special; he completely controls the power of the Herrscher of the Void, which is no less than mine. And you, can you steal that power from me?"

Just as Kiana was calming herself down, that familiar voice suddenly rang in her mind. Oh no, this is bad! Fu Hua, who was also residing in Kiana's mind, immediately sensed something was wrong. The time was different from what she had estimated. It must be because of the use of Honkai energy. The Herrscher of the Void's consciousness had awakened much earlier than she had expected. This was troublesome.

Startled by the sudden interference of the Herrscher's power, Kiana was jolted. When she came to her senses, all she saw was a spear thrusting straight at her. Was she going to die?

Kiana had once heard that when one is near death, all past experiences flash before their eyes like a revolving lantern. But now, all she could see was darkness. Shouldn't she have already been pierced by the Honkai Beast's spear? Kiana's mind was a mess. Should she be like those victims who could do nothing but run away and cry out, helplessly watching the Honkai Beast descend from the sky, pierced, trampled, and slaughtered...?

But why am I still alive?

The question arose in Kiana's mind, and just as the thought crossed her mind, an answer suddenly appeared in her heart.

—Is it because they made too many mistakes that they need to accept the punishment of fate?

—Is it because you thought you could resist the Herrscher's personality and that you still had a chance to save everything?

Or... is it that one still harbors illusions about everything, hoping that it's all just a nightmare and that everything will return to normal after the school bell rings?

Kiana had no idea about any of this; all she saw was darkness. No, she couldn't let herself sink like this. Kiana gritted her teeth and remembered that she still had many things worth remembering!

Chapter 103 The Battle of the Mind

Suddenly, a light appeared before her eyes, and Kiana ran towards it with all her might. However, after passing through the dark cage, she was met with something even more unbearable. In a shattered space, Kiana stared in astonishment at the people in front of her: Theresa, Mei, and Bronya... How could this be? Why were they here?

Those friends who kept saying they'd take you home... now that they've witnessed your true nature, will they still let you near them, embrace you? At this moment, in their eyes, the girl Kiana no longer exists. The only way to save you now is to destroy you.

The voice of the Herrscher of the Void echoed in her mind, while Theresa and the others launched an attack on her. Kiana's eyes trembled. Was this what they were thinking? Yes, she was not Kiana at all, but merely a vessel for the Herrscher of the Void. It was only natural that they would make such a choice after realizing their true situation.

"Kiana... I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry, Kiana, this is all I can do..."

"Kiana, I'm sorry, but Bronya wants to do is destroy you."

The voices of the three suddenly rang in Kiana's mind. Before she could think, their attacks came at her. What were they trying to do? Were they going to destroy her? Kiana instinctively retreated, while the Herrscher of the Void had been watching all this, revealed a satisfied smile. Just like that, when Kiana's personality was destroyed by these illusions, that would be the time for her to regain control of this body. For her, this scene must be the thing she feared most.

"Illusions, these are all illusions... Do you think something like this will be of any use to me!"

However, something surprising happened to the Herrscher. Kiana didn't bury her face in her hands and accept everything as she had imagined. Instead, the girl in this consciousness space raised her head, her azure eyes filled with determination. She believed that none of this was real, and even if it were, there was definitely someone in this world who wanted her to exist.

"If you're so capable, bring out Shen Gonglin for me too. I'm afraid you can't do that at all, because you know he loves me, loves me unconditionally. Even if you could create a phantom of him, you couldn't control what attack that phantom would make on me, because you know yourself that whether it's a phantom or the real Shen Gonglin, he loves me and needs me!"

With two guns appearing in her hands, Kiana raised both hands to block Phantom Mei's blade, while the gun in her other hand spun to block Theresa's Judah. Firmly convinced of this, Kiana's fighting spirit was rekindled. How could she possibly lose to these phantoms? Kiana was never alone. Shen Gonglin had never abandoned her from beginning to end. She knew how important she was to Shen Gonglin. No matter what, he needed her.

"Need you? Do you really think he loves you? Knowing that guy's personality, don't you think he's just after your body? Although he seems harmless, you know he's actually just a lecherous brat. Can you guarantee he won't...?"

This guy actually caught her out. Indeed, the Herrscher of the Void couldn't create a phantom of Shen Gonglin in this consciousness space. If she could, it might even help Kiana, because in the Herrscher's subconscious, she believed that Shen Gonglin would never give up on Kiana... Tsk, seeing her confident look annoyed the Herrscher. What right did she have to think that way? No, without destroying her psychological defenses, she couldn't completely take over this body.

"He only lusts after me because he loves me. Otherwise, why wouldn't he lust after you? To tell you the truth, I lust after him too. You don't know, but when we were wandering together, I slept with him. His smooth skin, and the dazed look he had when he woke up in the morning... um... just thinking about it is enough."

Even when caught in a fierce battle, Kiana didn't give up on confronting the Herrscher. She did whatever she could to annoy her. Such verbal attacks were the only thing Kiana could do at the moment, and Kiana knew that such attacks seemed to be very effective against the Herrscher. Didn't you see that she had already broken down?

[You! Kiana... You're a girl, why are you so perverted! I knew you weren't just sleeping, and besides, do you know he doesn't even want my body! This body is mine, it's mine!]

Kiana launched a devastating attack on the Herrscher, with remarkable effectiveness. From the Herrscher's voice, Kiana could tell that the Herrscher was enraged. She could also tell from the weakened attack in the environment. Kiana annihilated all the phantoms in front of her in one fell swoop. It was because she had always believed in this that she had been able to contend with the Herrscher until now. Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve.

"What's wrong with girls being a little weird? I personally think it's more interesting when they're a little weird. Otherwise, do you think it's better to be like the Class President... like her?"

Kiana subconsciously brought up Fu Hua's name, and fell silent after mentioning her. No matter what, Fu Hua's previous actions were a thorn in her side, and she couldn't let it go so easily.

[Oh, right, and her too. Remember that hateful face, Kiana? She betrayed your trust. At the academy, she was always strict with you. You thought she was just cold-hearted? But that's not the case... She always treated you like a monster, constantly watching you, always on guard. In the end, she destroyed your life herself, handing you over to Bishop Otto. To her, you were always just prey. Look, she's hunting you again now.]

Kiana's attack broke the Herrscher's defenses, but she quickly adjusted her mindset and regrouped to use other methods. Fu Hua's image was constructed in this consciousness space, and Fu Hua, who was lurking in Kiana's consciousness, seized the opportunity to help Kiana. This was a good opportunity.

"Don't trust her, Kiana, don't let her control your thoughts..."

Fu Hua's consciousness spoke within the constructed illusion, hoping to help Kiana in this way. However, before she could finish speaking, Kiana kicked the illusion of Fu Hua, shattering it.

"Hmph... I've wanted to do this for a long time. What were you trying to say just now?"

Chapter 104

Kiana was a little hesitant to attack the phantoms of Auntie and Mei earlier, but if it were Fu Hua, Kiana felt she could take on ten of them. She already harbored resentment towards Fu Hua, and now she finally had a chance to vent her anger. After successfully getting her revenge, Kiana let out a long sigh of relief. This was the feeling! It was so exhilarating! Are there any other Fu Hua there? She wanted to take on a few more.

[Experimental subject K-423, a direct descendant of the Kaslana family and Schariac Family, received the genetic material of the Second Herrscher. Similar to previous experimental subjects, although the embryo had completed development, it remained in a vegetative state without any mobility. However, this time, after the Herrscher Core was implanted, K-423's electroencephalogram began to show regular waveforms...]

However, it seems that Kiana's wish to fight ten more Fu Hua is destined to fail. The figures that reappeared were not the ones she was familiar with, but a tall, blond man. He did not launch any attacks on the previous phantoms. He just uttered these words. Kiana was suddenly stunned. He said these words... What does that mean?

Although she had never dealt with him, Kiana knew that he was the Bishop of Schicksal, the culprit who had brought things to this point.

[It was your birth, or more precisely, the day I was brought back into the world, that caused our tragedy. It was these foolish humans who brought about God's punishment. And you are a vessel, a cage created by humans to bind me. Your name and your past are fabricated lies; they never belonged to you. You and I are both victims. Since that's the case, why don't we join together to fiercely fight back against these humans who deceive and manipulate us?]

Continuing to bewitch Kiana, this time it was all Kiana herself who appeared. Kiana, who was focused on the battle, had no time to argue with the incessant Herrscher. The enemies seemed endless. Even though she clearly knew that she was in the consciousness space, Kiana still felt physically tired. And this was exactly what the Herrscher wanted.

Very good, just like this, keep killing, keep destroying, the more Kiana does, the closer she gets to a mental breakdown, and the more opportunities I have to control this body. Shen Gonglin is not by Kiana's side during this time, this is the best opportunity I can seize. If he were here, I definitely wouldn't have been able to pull Kiana into this space so easily. Looking at Kiana struggling below, the Herrscher was overjoyed. That's it, that's it!
