Yaqing: Is There Something Wrong with Those Two? / Mei: Does World Serpent Want to Coexist with Honkai?

After the call ended, the camera zoomed in from a distance, pausing on Rita's stunning profile.

"Humans have two hands..."

"One to be taken away—"

"One... is used to give."

"Rita, I just can't figure out her role. If you say she's a good person, she doesn't seem like one; if you say she's a bad person, she does good things. She seems to be somewhere between black and white, and her actions are unpredictable." May leaned on Kevin's shoulder.

"But she's following Otto's orders to track Kiana, isn't she?"

In response to Kevin's question, May offered an explanation.

"That's what Valkyrie do, unlike our God-like perspective. One is the leader of humanity, and the other is the Herrscher who caused the Great Honkai. In the eyes of the Valkyrie of Schicksal, Kiana, who became the Herrscher, is the villain."

"But..." Kevin knew that what May said was true, and he wanted to refute it but had no way to refute it.

"Kevin, Honkai isn't all black and white. Even the villains, like Otto, from his perspective..." Su paused for a moment, "I don't agree with his actions, but he was indeed trying to revive his lover."

On the bridge of the Hyperion, far from Sky Dome City.

Theresa and her team brought back the formatted humanoid machine and told Einstein and Tesla what had happened. Upon hearing that it was Rita, Tesla, who had been persecuted by Rita, immediately flew into a rage.

Einstein examined the humanoid machine, attempting to recover data to find clues about Kiana, while Theresa remembered seeing information about the World Serpent in Schicksal's archives.

"This is just a secret organization that specializes in manufacturing all sorts of bizarre Honkai energy weapons. They have rarely been active in the open over the years."

Tesla also shared Anti-Entropy's news about the World Serpent.

"There are rumors that the 'World Serpent' has been conducting various human experiments. They claim that humanity has stopped evolving for too long and want to bring about a completely new change so that humans and the Honkai can coexist."

Tesla glanced at the still-sleeping humanoid machine and sighed, "Sigh... Seeing this child, I'm starting to believe that all of this isn't just a rumor."

Upon hearing this, Pardo cowered behind Kalpas.

They talk about evolution all the time and can even conduct scientific experiments. There really is someone like that around them. Their gaze then turned to Mobius, who looked speechless.

"That's enough."

"After Otto and Cocolia, is Mobius going to become a villain too? It seems that to become a villain, one must be someone in a high position in reality," Mebius joked.

"Grandma Mobius, is she a villain?" Little Griseo thought for a moment, then pointed to her lower lip. "Kosma said that villains must perish and justice must prevail!"

Kosma covered his face.

Einstein made a brief joke about Tesla's Tunguska event, then presented Theresa with the Hyperion processor. Theresa blushed and revealed the code: TERITERI.

Just as the processor was being connected to the humanoid machine's brain, a notification suddenly appeared that there was an encrypted signal attempting to communicate.

After Einstein granted permission to communicate, the villain from the second film, Cocolia, appeared.

"It's been a long time, Doctor."

After greeting Einstein, Cocolia was relieved to know that Bronya was alright.

However, Bronya did not give Cocolia a friendly look, lowering her head with a gloomy look in her eyes and remaining silent.

Cocolia didn't seem surprised by Bronya's reaction, and instead looked directly at everyone to explain her purpose.

Anti-Entropy's resources are inferior to Schicksal's, and it is even slower than Schicksal in searching for the Herrscher of the Void. Therefore, she hopes to temporarily suspend the search for Kiana and shift her focus to Kiana.

During this period, Schicksal frequently attacked his troops. Cocolia guessed that the enemy's target was the Wind Core, which they wanted to seize to restore the Herrscher of the Void to her prime.

Cocolia hopes that everyone can help her transfer the gems, so that Otto's ambition puzzle will always be incomplete.

The coordinates are: Sea of Quanta.

Cocolia's voice suddenly sounded like a faulty connection, intermittently crackling with static, as if an unknown signal had been connected to the Hyperion's channel.

Gray Serpent suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Excuse me, everyone, let's continue the unfinished transactions in Sky Dome City?"

Chapter 165 Yaqing: Are these two people not normal?

"I knew it, how could the character voiced by Teacher Yaqing be written out of the show so quickly?"

On the other side of the ocean, Wendy lay sprawled on the sofa, her high heels dangling precariously from her feet, while her elegantly dressed Ai-chan sat beside her.

"The Gray Serpent is definitely dead, but who said there was only one Gray Serpent?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy sat up and asked curiously, "You mean Gray Serpent is a robot, and a mass-produced one at that?"

"That's just someone's premonition!" Ai-chan blinked.

"That makes sense. After all, your name is the name of the warship, so it's normal for you to be so attached to the robot." Wendy, as expected of Theresa's direct disciple, had a wise look in her eyes, a trait passed down through generations.

"You're so annoying!"

"Don't do this stupid thing, why does an old woman have to act like a virgin?" Wendy said, speechless.

He's efficient and decisive at work, but he's a complete goofball in private. I really don't know how the headmaster and Teacher Yaqing came to know such an eccentric person.

Theresa in the Far East and Yaqing in Central Europe sneezed at the same time.

"It must be that wretched Kevin cursing me!" said Yaqing Schariac.

Durandal watched the Gray Serpent reappear on the screen and exclaimed, "Amazing! It was slashed so many times by Rita, yet it's still alive and acting like nothing happened."

As someone who practices martial arts, Li Sushang chimed in, "That's right. If a normal person were slashed that many times, they would have died long ago. Gray Serpent truly lives up to the reputation of being voiced by Yaqing."

Yaqing looked at the two of them strangely.

After saying all that, haven't you ever considered that he might not be a normal person at all?

Yaqing really wanted to complain, but she didn't know how.

The reappearance of the Gray Serpent left Theresa and her companions in disbelief. They had clearly seen the corpse with their own eyes, yet the Gray Serpent uttered the words, "Snakes are creatures that do not submit to death."

Gray Serpent came here to show that the transaction was already completed when Theresa took the humanoid machine without permission; however, Theresa and her team failed to protect the intelligence, and this had nothing to do with him.

"As payment, I will now take what I want from you."

Just as Gray Serpent cut off communication, Einstein discovered that the other side was trying to control Hyperion with a humanoid machine. All functional areas were locked down, and an emergency landing was initiated.

Meanwhile, a group of mysteriously identified mechanized troops were already attempting to board the Hyperion's deck.

Theresa immediately ordered Einstein and Bronya to stay behind and take back control of the Hyperion from the Gray Serpent, while the rest of them went to intercept the mysteriously appearing mechanized forces.

"Let's see what tricks Gray Serpent is up to."

"Is this the consequence of a deal that doesn't include after-sales service?" Kiana, watching Gray Serpent forcefully take control of the warship.

"How infuriating! Her unreasonable behavior is exactly like Yaqing's." Theresa clenched her fists in anger. She didn't know how to refute Gray Serpent's words, which were so sophistry that she couldn't speak.

"I think Gray Serpent's explanation makes sense," Little Money-Grubber Pardo explained. "You've already received the goods, so you can't refuse to pay the balance just because someone else messed it up, right?"

"That's what they say, but when it comes to Gray Serpent, it just feels like... a forced sale." Her cherry-red lips parted slightly.

"Is the headmistress going to get her comeuppance again?" Bronya had no idea that the boomerang she was throwing at Theresa would one day hit her instead.

"Bronya, shut up!"

Einstein and Bronya attempt to bypass the Gray Serpent and regain control of the Hyperion.

A small robot named Eins, who was with Einstein, began to connect to the Hyperion, allowing Bronya to enter a virtual data space. In the ocean of information formed by the database, she encountered the Gray Serpent.

Gray Serpent called out Bronya's full name directly, leaving Bronya puzzled.

"You have always been in the Serpent's Eyes, and I know everything about you."

Bronya didn't believe it at all.

To demonstrate the ancient and powerful nature of the World Serpent, the Gray Serpent manipulated Bronya's memories, making her witness the destruction of the St. Freya Academy, Wendy's loss of control, and her death...

"It seems... you're tired. Lie down obediently, good child, return to your childhood, return to your true homeland..."

"I must say... Bronya truly lives up to her status as one of the main characters. Not only is Anti-Entropy connected to her, but even the World Serpent is related to her." Himeko leaned back in the luxurious armchair of the VIP screening room.

"Himeko, have you forgotten? Bronya is in the center of the movie poster for this one, she's getting lead treatment." Theresa waved her hand.

"The last movie was me, this movie is Bronya, could the next movie be Mei?!" Kiana guessed, excitedly hugging Mei.

"Idiot Kiana, I was the main character in the last movie. Look at the movie title, 'Queen's Arrival.' Who else deserves the title of queen but me?!" Sirin patted her flat chest.

Of the three Kaslana sisters, the eldest is Durandal, the middle one is Kiana, and the youngest is Sirin. Of course, this doesn't refer to their ages.

"How could this be! That's clearly my body!"

"It's me!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Bella quickly pulled Sirin away, Mei also hugged Kiana.

Meanwhile, on the Hyperion deck, Mei discovered that the mechanical forces that World Serpent had sent to invade were highly similar to the mechs of Mirage.

Tesla then realized that it was not just highly similar, but practically identical, as if it had been stolen from her mind. She couldn't understand where the World Serpent had gotten its design blueprints from.

After dealing with the enemies on the deck and bridge, Tesla had Mei and Theresa follow her to the main engine room, suspecting that Gray Serpent's true objective was actually the engine of the Moonlight Throne.

At the same time, Tesla also suspected that in order to study the Moonlight Throne, Anti-Entropy was recruiting talents all over the world, which led to the invasion and infiltration of the World Serpent. However, she and Einstein had too many suspects and were struggling to find evidence, so they could only remain inactive.

The three headed to the main engine room, and the mechs they encountered along the way were easily dealt with, giving Theresa the illusion that the mechs were not difficult to deal with. On the contrary, Tesla's face grew increasingly dark.

"Tsk... maybe we're all wrong. What Gray Serpent wants isn't the engine, but..."

"Damn it, this is copyright infringement! Looks like I'll have to apply for a patent for my experimental results from now on!" Tesla yelled. Fortunately, because Welt was a partner, they didn't go to the cinema to watch it, but watched it in Welt's dormitory.

Because he was the only male teacher at the St. Freya Academy, his dormitory was a villa with three empty rooms, more than enough for Tesla and Einstein to stay in.

Chapter 166 Plum: Does the World Serpent Want to Coexist with the Honkai?

Gray Serpent is still trying to help Bronya recall painful memories, to reopen her past wounds, from her childhood experience as a mercenary to the various experiments of Project X, Seele's disappearance.

This was used to break Bronya, allowing him to absorb the World Serpent. Under the Gray Serpent's "Tired Teachings," just before Bronya was about to turn evil, golden feathers fell again.

"Are you still plagued by nightmares, just like before..." Fu Hua, with white hair and wearing a red and white short cheongsam, appeared beside Bronya, who was kneeling down.

Hearing that familiar voice, Bronya closed her eyes and couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Class monitor, randomly entering other people's memories is not something to be praised..."

"But... thanks."

"Hua is still in C!" Pardo exclaimed in surprise.

"Hua looks a bit like Welt. Could it be that the power of the Eighth Divine Key is memory? If someone remembers her, she won't die?" Mei joked first, then voiced her guess.

"Wouldn't that be too overpowered?"

Who knows?

"Old fogey, what exactly did you do to Yaqing?" Little Knowledge looked at Fu Hua suspiciously. "Why did he give you so many scenes! I haven't heard a single word about my role yet!"

"I don't know. Maybe my role is more important." Fu Hua shook her head.

"After all, he's the first character from the Previous Era to officially appear, and he'll probably be the one to lift the veil on the Previous Era world later on," Vill-V guessed.

"Bronya, you're too easily led astray. If it weren't for the class monitor, you would have really turned evil," Kiana retorted.

"Idiot Kiana," Bronya called out irritably, sighing, "That childhood experience was just too tragic. I even feel sorry for myself in the story."

"Sister Bronya..." Seele shyly grasped Bronya's hand, so embarrassed by her beloved butterfly...

Fu Hua's words restored Bronya's confidence.

Faced with the combined forces of Fu Hua and Bronya, Gray Serpent quickly found itself at a disadvantage and admitted its mistake.

However, having already obtained what he wanted, the Gray Serpent left behind a harmless but harsh remark before disappearing from the spot, holding up his black umbrella.

After the Gray Serpent left, Bronya became curious about Fu Hua's identity and her sudden abilities. The phantom of Fu Hua denied being Fu Hua, explaining that she was merely one piece of the Many Feather of the Wind, a fragment of Fu Hua that had once remained in her mind.

"She appears because she senses her desire to protect you."

"Now let's get through here and keep going, Bronya."

"Sooner or later, our paths will cross again."
