Kiana Ate the Title
Let's take stock of the powers that Sachi has already mastered!
Summoning methods learned so far: Synchronization, Polymerization, Xyz, Ritual, Advanced, and Link. (The Yu-Gi-Oh!! terminology in this book is primarily based on the simplified Chinese rules; it is listed here in order of appearance.)
Who's missing?
Let's get to the main content~
After working overtime for a day and a night, Xing and her companions finished their overtime tasks ahead of schedule. Except for Jilin, who was petting a cat, the rest of them returned to the Stigmata Space to rest, exhausted. Even Xing's three Stigmata had dimmed considerably.
The one who was most exhausted was Hiyokomaru, who had been projecting these people into reality for so long, and the burden on her was immense. After all, swapping the Stigmata Space with reality was no easy task.
Xing was relieved to receive Jilin, and then her vision went black as she collapsed onto the table and fell asleep. The thoughtful Pardo carried her to Theresa's bedroom bed so that Xing could get some rest.
The Hospital of Schicksal —
Durandal took off her hospital gown and, together with Rita, completed the discharge procedures.
She and Fu Hua didn't actually go all out at first, but as the fight went on, they started to abandon all martial ethics. Anyway, no one knows who activated the God-Slaying Armor first, but they ended up ending up in the hospital after fighting each other.
Durandal gazed at the setting sun in the distance and said to her adjutant, "Rita, I've made up my mind. I'm going to fight all the S-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal."
The maid instinctively covered her bottom. "Rita will do her best to help you with whatever you want to do. Please be gentle."
Noticing Rita's reaction, Durandal's expression stiffened. "Hasn't the accidental injury from last time healed yet?"
"I've fully recovered, but my body has already memorized your spear..."
The battle between the Clumsy Goose and the tablet naturally reached Otto's ears. To this, the Lord Bishop remarked, "Fight if you want, but don't fight in the Schicksal Headquarters! He's lost the funds he got from selling the island again!"
He originally thought that with Fu Hua offline, he could capture Xing to study her, but Theresa's actions were unexpected. No wonder she's his granddaughter.
Fu Hua is in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital and go back to help the Fire Moth with the inspection match, otherwise there won't be enough people. Fortunately, Theresa sent them out, but there still aren't enough people, and finding temporary team members would also be a problem in terms of strength.
Wait a minute, why didn't he find any missions Xing went to perform in the mission log? He has the highest level of authority.
That means my dear great-grandson didn't go on any mission at all. So where could he be?
If I remember correctly, Durandal volunteered to take charge of this inspection mission, right?
With that thought in mind, Otto dialed Fu Hua's number.
"My old friend, the people of World Serpent have recently made some small moves in Schicksal. I suspect they have some kind of conspiracy. Please help me investigate this mercenary codenamed Raven."
Raven's identity was a pleasant surprise that Schicksal discovered unintentionally while investigating the truth behind the island's sinking. In return for providing him with funds, Otto specially dispatched the heavyweight Crimson Kite Immortal to hunt down Raven. You're welcome.
Upon hearing the name World Serpent, Fu Hua hesitated for a moment, then chose World over her son.
At this time, St. Freya Academy—
Bronya gripped the terminal tightly in her hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed Xing's number.
"Beep beep beep—" The terminal notification sounded, but the white-haired loli who was fast asleep didn't hear it at all. Pardo, who was woken up, hung up the call with a paw.
Bronya trembled as she watched the call being disconnected. A complex mix of emotions, including resentment, anger, and disappointment, overwhelmed her, and she almost burst into tears.
"Scumbag!"
Bronya's favorability rating: 90 →?
Wendy, who was standing nearby, comforted her, saying, "Well, isn't Brother Xing on a mission? He probably couldn't make a call because of his situation, and it's so late. Maybe he turned it off unconsciously while Brother Xing was sleeping?"
Bronya yelled angrily at her, "Shut up, you idiot! What do you know?!"
Wendy was taken aback. Bronya's eyes were a little scary, but she mustered up the courage to look Bronya in the eye.
"Back in the Oceania branch, Brother Xing once told me that he wasn't a monogamous person and might fall in love with multiple girls at the same time, but no matter what, he would be responsible for them. Because Sachi would never let down the people he loves. Whatever the truth is, let's wait for Brother Xing to come back and hear his explanation."
Seeing Wendy's sincere and trusting gaze, Bronya's anger was completely extinguished.
Ya Ya sighed helplessly. This kid would probably be sold off and still be counting the money for him, but she didn't dislike this idiot. Bronya took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and put on Bronie's signature mischievous smile.
"Wendy, didn't you realize that this was the perfect opportunity to eliminate one competitor?"
"Huh?!"
Bronya pushed the innocent Qingtuan aside and turned to walk outside. "I'm going to find my two silly sisters for help. Anyway, as long as we win the first two matches, they won't have to fight."
If you don't give me a reasonable explanation and tell me what your relationship is with the owner of that hair, I'll send you to see Seele!
Meanwhile, Theresa, who was on vacation—
Under the warm sunshine, Theresa looked at the long line in front of her and waited patiently. Damn it, I didn't expect so many people to buy the out-of-print HOMU comics!
A staff member who was maintaining order at the scene saw her and handed her a small HOMU device, saying, "Here you go, little sister, this is a souvenir from the event. Every child who comes to queue up can get one."
Theresa looked at the HOMU pendant in her hand, hesitating to speak.
Einstein and Varta sat in the control room, observing the changes in various data on the computer.
"Excellent! The opening of this new HOMU -themed park has brought in substantial profits. Sure enough, as soon as the limited-time rerun is mentioned, people are eager to spend money to buy it."
Einstein typed away, his heart filled with joy.
Anti-Entropy was notoriously poor; by the time it was founded, Schicksal had already mined up almost all the readily available Soul Steel in the world. Look at Otto, with his body made entirely of Soul Steel.
Even when they wanted to create the giant robot Arahanto, they first turned the idea into an animated film to raise funds before starting construction. During this process, Sigfried and Cecilia unexpectedly fell in love.
The animation of Arahanto inspired young Sigfried to run away from home. Sigfried, who ran away from home, met Cecilia, who was attacked by Anti-Entropy. With the help of Welt and Einstein, they got together. I'm not wrong to say that.
Recalling the painful history of its early days, Einstein couldn't help but sigh. She turned to Welt beside her and asked, "Is your appearance mimicry ready? You'll be attending a fan meeting later, you know, Mu Yue Ren Dong?"
Welt turned his head awkwardly. "Ein, please don't call me by that name. And you didn't call me here just because of some meeting, did you?"
"That's right," Einstein nodded, taking out a briefcase.
"This is?"
"Dr. Tesla sent me this yesterday; it's a prototype of his latest invention."
"Star of Eden, begin manufacturing." Welt prepared to activate the gravity field and prepare for the explosion.
Seeing Welt's alarmed reaction, Einstein was not surprised. She opened the box and found a rectangular object with a joystick and two slots, along with two small bottles, one red and one blue.
"?" Welt looked completely bewildered. Einstein didn't explain, but instead played a video.
Lobster Doctor appears in the video, which appears to be filmed from her first-person perspective.
"Ahem, Bird's Nest Head, if you're seeing this video, it means my latest invention has been successfully developed and you've received it. How about it? Isn't it amazing? Regret kicking me out now, huh? Hahahaha!"
Tesla in the video looked very proud. She turned around, took out a design drawing from behind her back, straightened her expression, and began to introduce it, "This is the ' Honkai Energy Storage, Conversion, Amplification, Harmless Super Transformation Armor Driver' researched and manufactured by the genius Dr. Tesla. The full name is too long, so I will just call it Driver for short."
"Its original design was to allow ordinary people to use Honkai Energy like Valkyrie. Although it sounds incredible, with the technology of the Moonlight Throne, I have vaguely found my way down that path. Just wait and see!"
The video automatically switched to Tesla's perspective in the next segment. Dr. Tesla looked a bit haggard, but still full of confidence, suggesting that some time had passed.
"So far, everything is going smoothly. Temporary antibodies are generated in the human body through the power of the driver, which allows us to control Honkai Energy for a short period of time to achieve our goal. However, it is easy for Honkai Energy to leak out during this process, which could lead to Honkai infection of the user. We need to find a way to improve the protection function."
In the next video, Tesla's spirits seemed to have dropped considerably, but she hadn't given up yet. Welt noticed that she was holding a rectangular object in her hand, but there were many exposed wires on it, indicating that it wasn't officially finished yet.
"How could this be? I created it to give ordinary people the power to fight against Honkai. However, based on the current research progress, it can indeed give ordinary people power comparable to Valkyrie for a short period of time, but at the cost of their bodies being rapidly eroded by Honkai Energy, while maintaining their sanity for a period of time. This is simply a monster-making device. We must overcome this flaw. I am the genius Dr. Tesla. I can do it. I definitely can do it!"
The video ended there. Welt picked up the device called the "Driver," his complex expression containing a hint of pride. "So, this is the last piece she completed?"
"Yes, although no Honkai Energy was detected above, she wouldn't send it to me for no reason. We'll discuss the specific usage when she gets here. Judging from the message that came with the video, she'll be here soon."
Welt used his Herrscher of Reason abilities to check the driver and couldn't help but frown. Why was this device still incomplete?
Could there be some other components with Tesla? Knowing her personality, sending half of the device first to whet their appetites, then appearing with the rest, and finally showcasing her masterpiece's performance to satisfy her ego, seems like something she'd do.
Welt didn't think much of it; he checked the time and it was time to go on stage.
Blue light swirled around him, and the middle-aged man instantly transformed into a young, artistic youth.
How does it look?
Einstein, chin in hand, examined it closely. "This looks pretty good, but I suggest you mimic a cute young girl. Trust me, doing so will significantly increase your Anti-Entropy income."
"I refuse," Welt said decisively.
Just kidding. Tesla previously misled him by saying that women's bodies adapt better to Honkai Energy, yet he didn't undergo sex reassignment surgery. Changing his name is fine; changing his body is fine; changing his core is fine too. Just not changing his male body!
