So what exactly did she have to do to meet the standard Ruan Mei wanted to see?
Before long, they encountered another Honkai Beast—a new humanoid scythe-wielding girl.
Looking at the Honkai Beast, Kiana glanced uncertainly at Ruan Mei. Ruan Mei nodded encouragingly.
Submit, huh?
Kiana took a deep breath and slowly walked over. After drawing the scythe-wielding girl's attention, she forced down her embarrassment and shouted, "I order you to submit to me!"
Ruan Mei: "..."
The scythe-wielding girl, blind to the great person before her, remained unmoved. She raised her weapon and swung it at her own leader.
"Hey! Can't you understand me? I order you to stop! Hurry up and stop!"
Kiana's goal this time was to experiment with her ability to control Honkai, so she did not attack the scythe-wielding girl. She merely dodged in place, making sure not to draw its aggro toward Ruan Mei.
"...I don't think it has any intelligence."
Even after seeing this scene, Ruan Mei did not laugh out loud.
"What?! It can't understand human speech?"
Kiana was surprised as she dodged. It seemed she really had never seen any signs of intelligence from these Honkai Beasts.
They acted entirely on instinct.
"Try another method. Try drawing out the power hidden within you."
Kiana held it in for a while before saying with a flushed face, "Honkai energy is suppressing the power of the Void. I can't draw it out."
Ruan Mei fell silent. Along the way, she had indeed almost forgotten that Kiana was still deeply affected by the Void.
"Then..."
Ruan Mei was about to advise Kiana to give up, realizing that she had been careless, when Kiana directly used what she considered her trump card: she cut open her right hand.
Blood immediately seeped from her palm.
