The Most Miserable Herrscher Makes Her Entrance / The Sister-Bullying Specialist (Extra Chapter)
Kevin was speechless for a moment, his lips twitching slightly. However, based on his past memories, he didn't feel any disgust or urgency towards the girl who was currently Herrscherization.
Herrscher who can be chased like a rabbit by three B-rank Valkyrie and easily defeated even Titan is truly no match for her.
Among the people who gradually arrived, there were four S-class Valkyrie, an A-rank monster like Himeko who could withstand the Final Herrscher, and the five-core Judgment Angel bringing up the rear.
This lineup would probably be a disaster, even if Wind Herrscher Wendy, Finality to take the field herself, let alone Wendy who is currently in her transformation state.
More importantly, a mere teenager with an immature mind, judging from her panicked expression, Wendy was most likely lured into accepting the baptism of the Honkai Will.
This is the kind of situation that can be resolved through negotiation; there's no need to take any action yourself.
At this moment, with the arrival of a Valkyrie, Wendy's emotions became even more unstable. Her turquoise wings unfurled behind her as she retreated in panic, looking around as if searching for a way out.
Just as Kevin was about to go down to the city to comfort the Half-Herrscher girl, Wendy looked to her left with surprise and eagerly went to greet her and explain.
"Durandal, I..."
However, the figure that soared into the air had a deep, icy look in its eyes. The moment it took a step, its slender, beautiful, dark blue ancient sword swept out, shooting out several arcs of light.
With a "rip," Wendy stiffly looked up as the two wings on her back were severed cleanly at the root. The sensation, originating from her very soul, sent a piercing pain through her bones, leaving the girl with disbelief on her face.
"Captain... why?"
Durandal gripped her sword with both hands, blades pointing downwards as if gathering power, her voice cold and resolute.
"The Honkai should all die!"
The Wind Herrscher trembled, covering her face with her hands. A sinister laugh echoed around her, and her words, spoken slowly and deliberately, were filled with grievance and anger.
"But I want to live!"
In an instant, dozens of tornadoes mixed with wind blades swept around, and the girl, driven to the brink of despair, leaped forward!
P. S.: Himeko: Where's the duck in my pot? It was just cooked, who stole it?
Chapter 627, Section 656: The Most Miserable Herrscher Appears
The following day, the atmosphere in the principal's office was tense.
"Headmaster, I request that the Wind Herrscher be killed on the spot, or simply locked on the Helios and transported back to headquarters for trial!"
Durandal was furious. She slammed her hands on the table and coldly stated her demands.
"Let's keep them here for a few days, investigate the matter thoroughly, and then make a judgment, right?"
In the past, in order not to send a signal to her supporters that she was vying for power, Theresa was happy to be idle, spending her days slacking off during work hours, either reading comics or playing games, showing no power whatsoever.
Therefore, this headmistress had no experience in managing subordinates at all, and even spoke in a consultative tone. She obviously couldn't control Durandal.
"What's there to investigate! Valkyrie Wendy has betrayed St. Freya's trust and sided with the Honkai! This cannot be tolerated!"
The headmaster was speechless, her face full of indignation, yet she was powerless to do anything about this subordinate.
She now realizes that her avoidance of trouble seems to have fueled Durandal's stubbornness, and Theresa can't help but regret it.
"I think Principal Theresa was only acting in the name of fairness..."
At this moment, Kevin stood up and stepped forward, speaking quietly to Durandal.
"Valkyrie Wendy's Herrscher Transformation, that's an indisputable fact, and she belongs to the [Immortal Blade] team. Durandal should avoid suspicion at this time..."
Seeing the guy who was best at talking come to her rescue, Theresa quickly nodded in support of the argument.
The blond goose gasped, his face darkening, and Kevin's image before him appeared ugly and distorted.
"Are you doubting me?"
Kevin immediately waved his hand, looking completely innocent.
"No, no, no, everyone believes in your and the Immortal Blade's innocence, but the higher-ups probably won't think so, after all, it's too much of a coincidence."
"Therefore, finding out the truth about Wendy's Herrscher Transformation within seven days and clearing the stain on the [Immortal Blade]'s reputation is more important than anything else!"
"To avoid giving anyone grounds for suspicion, it's still necessary for the relevant personnel to recuse themselves."
"Thanks to the headmistress's foresight in temporarily detaining Wendy at the Far East Branch, she was truly protecting the reputation of Lady Durandal and the Immortal Blade."
"Huh? I just couldn't bear to Wendy killed by Durandal. Turns out I'm not only considerate of my subordinates, but also so shrewd. "Theresa scratched her head, beaming and nodding in agreement as she was showered with compliments.
Durandal bit her cherry lips tightly, her face turning pale and then pale, finally settling into a layer of icy frost, sealing away all negative emotions, and letting out a low groan.
"It's not seven days; there are still six days left until the Helios returns..."
Then, the knight girl released her right hand from the sword hilt, performed a respectful farewell bow, and turned to leave.
However, as Pathway Kevin, Durandal paused slightly and whispered with unusual seriousness.
"What you said is true, but you're not a good person!"
Kevin's heart tightened slightly, worried that this silly goose would reveal in public the embarrassing fact that he and Mei had been fooling around in the women's restroom.
Fortunately, until Durandal left the room, the knight girl never mentioned any private secrets. Only her figure, gradually receding into the distance along the corridor, exuded a sense of desolation and loneliness.
Murata Himeko stepped forward, glanced at Durandal's retreating figure, then placed her hand on Kevin's shoulder and whispered softly.
"Don't blame her. I served with her in the Valkyrie Assault Team before, following Captain Ragnar to deal with sporadic Honkai incidents..."
"Due to an intelligence failure, the Assault Team was almost completely wiped out. While they were out promoting awareness at an orphanage, they met this child; she was a survivor of the Second Honkai."
"This child lost a lot because of this. He hates the Honkai to Honkai core for revenge and will show no mercy. He is also the most hardworking and dedicated."
Kevin turned around and grasped Himeko's arm, chuckling and shaking his head. At this moment, he wanted to comfort the Red-haired Mature Woman who had wronged him.
Compared to Durandal, Murata Himeko has endured far more hardships, yet she still maintains an optimistic and cheerful attitude. This kind of woman is truly admirable.
Theresa glanced strangely at Fu Hua, who was quietly drinking tea, and at Kevin and Himeko, who were passionately flaunting their love and openly displaying their affection. She coughed slightly, indicating that the two should stop.
Slightly annoyed, Murata Himeko defiantly puffed out her chest at her friend, her lips moving as she mouthed a sarcastic remark.
What are you coughing for? You're just jealous of my big boobs and that I have a boyfriend!
The headmaster's lips twitched; he realized he was a complete failure in his role as executive officer, utterly devoid of any authority.
No, from now on Theresa must also be full of authority!
"What are your thoughts on Wendy's situation?"
After a brief attempt to lighten the mood, Theresa frowned and asked a question.
Last night, Wendy's sudden transformation into the Wind Herrscher was completely unexpected, and Durandal's hostility pushed the girl to the opposite side, causing her to fully merge with the Honkai Will.
Of course, given the overwhelming strength of the lineup at the time, even the weakest Wind Herrscher of Wind had nowhere to run.
Wendy struggled for a few moments before being bound like a dumpling by Theresa's Oath of Judas of Judah, thus saving her from being chopped into a human stick by Durandal, who hated the Honkai.
"The infection is happening too fast. There might be a source of the Honkai Will within the academy..."
Fu Hua put down the blue and white porcelain cup, frowned slightly, and opened her lips to ponder.
"According to the records of the Second Honkai Calamity, even if a [god] descends, she still needs a host as a medium to check if there are any anomalies at the party..."
Murata Himeko pondered for a moment, then added earnestly, "Although it's very uncomfortable to suspect our comrades in the Far East Branch, for the safety of more people, we must find [God] as soon as possible."
Kevin remained silent, nodding slightly, but his thoughts were far from calm.
According to Hatsune Miku's information, during the Moonlight War, he only stripped away the six weakest parts of [God's] will. The remaining eight parts have not yet been freed up due to the need to maintain the planet's operation and the frequent invasions by external enemies.
Now it seems the real test is about to begin. The Final Herrscher has begun to awaken more Suitable Candidate to unite the scattered will of [God].
As more and more Suitable Candidate awaken, their resonance with each other will make it easier for a complete [god] to descend, and those hosts connected by fate will likely not be able to escape.
It seems I need to make a trip to both places.
Kevin took a deep breath, pulled Murata Himeko along, and looked up at the two officers to make a proposal.
"I'd like to talk to Wendy, but they're all just kids. It would be better to pick a few more approachable members from the Fifth Squad to build a better relationship with this Wind Herrscher."
"How about Kiana, Bronya, and Seele?"
Fu Hua and Theresa exchanged a glance and nodded in unison. With Kevin there, Wendy wouldn't cause any trouble. The key was to find out the host body of [God] as soon as possible.
Mei has been cleared of suspicion, so could it be you, Your Queen Master?
Kevin cracked his knuckles, frowning in thought, feeling a mixture of anticipation and apprehension about the upcoming meeting.
P. S.: Please vote for me, thank you!
Chapter 628, Section 657: The Professional Sister-Trap (Bonus Chapter)
Far East Branch, Underground Monitoring Room
With her wings shattered and bound by the Oath of Judas, Wendy remained motionless, allowing the food brought by Himeko and others to feed her and clean her wounds.
Bronya brushed the girl's short hair aside, and seeing those lifeless gray eyes, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Her movements became even gentler, and she couldn't help but offer words of comfort.
Even Kiana, who is usually fond of causing trouble, couldn't help but chime in with words of comfort when she saw the girl's miserable state, while making funny faces in hopes of lightening the mood.
The imprisoned Wind Herrscher, initially resistant, gradually raised her head, her colorless eyes revealing feelings of grievance and sorrow.
"Wendy, we believe you are innocent. I saw it clearly; you never intended to harm anyone from the beginning..."
"So, can you tell me what exactly happened last night?"
Murata Himeko head pat and tender questioning finally broke down the girl's defenses, and Wendy couldn't help but sob as she recounted her experience from the previous night.
Last night, aboard the Helios.
The girl was ordered to guard the transport ship. Since the Floating Battleship were basically equipped with AI systems, the so-called fleet personnel were mostly intelligent robots.
So Wendy spent two days on the empty and desolate Helios, only hearing the sounds of machinery. She would occasionally whisper to her little bird doll to pass the time, like a bird trapped in a cage.
For a teenager, this loneliness is undoubtedly an unbearable torment, and the joyful atmosphere in the auditorium is something the girl longs for and envies.
However, just last night, the mechanical bird doll that she often whispered to actually responded to her in the darkness and began to bewitch her soul, which was experiencing negative emotions.
"Every time we go on a mission, you're the one who stays behind on the Helios, while they're free to move around..."
"Victory belongs to them, cheers belong to them, while you can only obediently stay in the shadows, doing the most tedious defensive work. This is not fair!"
"They only see you as a burden. They're jealous of your talent and afraid you'll take their place!"
Wendy hurriedly shook her head, naturally refusing to believe such remarks, and tried her best to defend her captain.
"No! Durandal would never have such a thought, and Miss Rita also said that the defense of the Helios is very important."
But clearly, in the realm of debate, Wendy was no match for "Little Bird," with her cool voice and disdainful smile.
"Really? Then why not let S-class Valkyrie guard it herself? Face reality, you'll always be just a supporting character, they won't care about your feelings..."
"You and I are like birds trapped in a cage, yearning to see more of the outside world, yet unable to fly away."
Wendy pursed her lips and turned her head away, a hint of anger appearing on her small face.
"You're lying! The captain and Miss Rita care about me a lot, they must have their reasons for doing this!"
The voice in the darkness carried a hint of amusement.
"Concerned? Okay, let's play a game about friendship and trust..."
Immediately, the light green mechanical bird doll shattered, and a light green gem flew out and embedded itself in the girl's chest.
"Open the cage and see if your owner will believe you're innocent..."
"The things you consider beautiful are all fragile bubbles..."
"Among human nature, only suspicion is truly unbreakable..."
At this point in the narrative, everyone's thoughts returned to the present, and as those who had experienced it firsthand, they were clearly aware of what happened next the previous night.
Sitting in the electronic monitoring room, Kevin couldn't help but put a few Mentos in his mouth and chew them. He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his throbbing temples with his hands.
Although it can be confirmed that the existence that conjured the Herrscher Core out of thin air is definitely the Final Herrscher, it is a pity that she still did not show herself.
Based on previous data, the Herrscher Core is merely a key to unlock the door of rules, and multiple Herrschers can be equipped. Therefore, Herrscher of the same attribute can appear repeatedly, such as the "Thousand-man Herrscher" of the previous generation.
Therefore, Kevin's six cores do not affect Mei and others 'Herrscherization. Only the degree of development of the Herrscher Core can determine who is the boss.
However, compared to the fourteen Herrscher of the previous generation who were incredibly powerful, the Herrscher of this world are far too weak due to the incompleteness of the Honkai Will.
We can't delay any longer! Kevin pondered for a moment, then abruptly stopped tapping his right hand on the table, a serious expression appearing on his face.
