The strange energy in his hand seemed to command the power of the surrounding earth itself, pinning Kiana firmly in place.
"Get over here!"
With a sharp wave of his hand, Kiana was suddenly like Wolverine under Magneto's control, flying straight toward him at high speed.
"Talk. Tell me everything you know about the Third Herrscher. Otherwise, I'll snap your neck in the next second."
Like some big villain from a movie, the young man said this while gripping Kiana by the throat.
"Never!"
Even with her neck clutched in his hand, Kiana's eyes were filled with defiance.
At that moment, Kiana seized the instant his power loosened and viciously kicked toward his stomach.
But the young man merely gave a cold smile at her movement.
Boom!
With a deafening crash, Kiana was flung more than ten meters away before slamming heavily into the ground.
"Ridiculous. A mere Valkyrie thinks she can hurt me? If I didn't need information on the Third Herrscher, you would already be dead."
An unbelievable madness radiated from the young man. Compared to before, his demeanor now seemed especially unhinged.
If one ignored the glue and feces all over him, along with the foul stench, he might actually have looked like a boss.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Kiana, sprawled on the ground, coughed violently.
Before she could get back up, that suspicious power appeared in the young man's hand again and lifted her into the air.
"I'll give you one last chance. Are you going to talk or not?"
The young man spoke to Kiana coldly, his eyes brimming with crazed killing intent.
"Damn it... I'm not... telling you anything!"
Just as Kiana felt she was about to be strangled to death, several missiles suddenly shot toward the young man.
Sensing the missiles, he hurriedly raised a barrier with his other hand and intercepted them.
At the same time, a figure flashed past him amid crackling electricity, rescuing Kiana from his grasp.
"Oh?"
The young man looked toward the distance in surprise. Mei and Bronya had somehow appeared in front of Kiana, shielding her firmly behind them.
"Kiana, are you okay?"
Mei asked anxiously, looking Kiana over from head to toe as if afraid she might be missing an arm or a leg.
"Mei~"
The moment Kiana saw Mei, she immediately put on a pitiful expression.
She looked just like a child who had been bullied at kindergarten.
She was one step away from running to complain to a parent.
"Don't cry, don't cry. What happened?"
Mei hurriedly asked Kiana.
The two of them had been passing nearby when they suddenly heard strange noises.
After rushing over, they found Kiana being attacked by this bizarre man.
Even now, neither of them understood what had happened.
"It's that bad guy! He's an intruder! He said he wanted to take Mei away!"
With backup at her side, Kiana pointed at the young man and started accusing him.
"An intruder?! And he came for me?"
Mei was completely dumbfounded.
Was this seriously never going to end?
She had just been surrounded by Anti-Entropy, then beaten up by a darkened Bronya, and now there was another one?
Mei suddenly had the urge to complain.
No matter how good-tempered she was, wasn't it too much for them to keep coming after her again and again?
And besides, why did this guy look like a lunatic?
He smelled exactly like a beggar who had lived in a garbage dump for months.
Even if they wanted to capture someone, couldn't they send someone mentally stable?
Or had Anti-Entropy completely run out of people?
"The Third Herrscher... So it was you, traitor!"
Meanwhile, the young man recognized Mei.
But what interested him even more was Bronya standing before him.
"Huh? Bronya, do you know this man covered in crap?"
Hearing him call Bronya a traitor, Kiana immediately leaned closer.
Who would have thought that this beggar-like guy was actually Bronya's acquaintance?
"No, no, no. Bronya does not know someone like this. He must have mistaken her for someone else."
Bronya frantically shook her head, insisting that she did not know this person.
Even if she did know him, she had to pretend she didn't.
If she admitted that this beggar-looking guy was an acquaintance, some grass-shoe bug would probably laugh at her for an entire month.
"Hehehe. A mere traitor doesn't even recognize her own Leader anymore."
The young man smeared his hair upward with a hand covered in all kinds of strange fluids, turning it into a windblown pompadour.
Well, Bronya recognized him now. Was he really the Leader?
"Bronya, he seems to be saying that he's Anti-Entropy's Leader. Are all your Leaders like this?"
Kiana asked Bronya with a disgusted expression.
Sure, she was not particularly fond of Schicksal's Bishop either, but compared side by side, Otto was at least a handsome blond man.
How did the competition's side suddenly turn into a beggar?
No wonder Bronya had defected.
Even Mei gave Bronya a sympathetic look.
If she had to work under someone like that, she might be unable to stop herself from wanting to die.
"Uh..."
Bronya desperately wanted to deny it.
But Cocolia had told her so back then, so Bronya had naturally regarded this man as their Leader.
In truth, the current trio had never even seen the real Leader of Anti-Entropy.
And Old Yang, the real Leader of Anti-Entropy, had not shown his face in years. Naturally, aside from the people at the top, no one else knew what the Leader looked like.
Now that Cocolia had told Duck that this man was the Leader, then he could only be the Leader.
But Bronya truly did not want to admit that this person was Anti-Entropy's Leader.
"Who cares what Leader he is! He dared set his sights on Mei! Bronya, let's take him together!"
Kiana did not care about any of that. She drew her pistol from her waist and prepared to charge in alongside Bronya.
Mei picked up her weapon as well.
But facing the three girls, the young man claiming to be Anti-Entropy's Leader had already been enraged by their words and erupted with astonishing power.
Rumble!
Under the crushing force of immense gravity, the three girls were slammed flat onto the ground before they could even take a single step.
"Heh, hahahaha! Do you see it now?! This is the power of Anti-Entropy's Leader! You dare resist me, one who possesses the power of the Herrscher of Reason?!"
Watching the three girls get crushed to the ground, the young man burst into arrogant laughter.
But before he could laugh his fill, a size-42 shoe kicked him squarely in the face and sent him flying.
"What?!"
Before the young man could react, he felt a foot continuously grinding against his face.
"I say, you're just a clone, yet you dare bully my Valkyries? Are you tired of living?"
A path had been forcibly carved through the small grove in the distance by some unknown force.
Mo Wang stood there with killing intent written all over his face, staring down at the piece of "trash" beneath his foot.
At this moment, he looked nothing like his usual slacking self.
PY: "Thanks for the invite. I'm in Honkai, grinding stats to level up."
After transmigrating into the Honkai world with a stat-leveling system, all progress became quantifiable!
First stop: Schicksal Headquarters, the Demon King's castle with Otto?
No problem. Bring on more Feather Dust packages—perfect for grinding mental resistance.
Schicksal's famous training fanatic Durandal?
Come on, let's work out together. Training your waist improves strength, endurance, dexterity, agility, and magic.
Jarilo was about to be swallowed by the cold wave?
Cocolia, Guardian, you wouldn't want Belobog to be occupied by the Fragmentum, would you?
The Herrscher girl did not want me to get hurt?
Honkai energy resistance could only be improved through zero-distance contact with Honkai energy!
Otto wanted to fulfill his plan through tragedy?
Perfect. My stats were maxed out, and I was still missing one great achievement before leveling up—
Make you pay the price for your sins!
What? You're my father from a parallel world?
Then I'll launch a Rebellion against my inhuman father!
Mihoyo's Long-Forgotten Dark History
"Look at me, mongrel!"
Mo Wang showed no mercy to someone who had just brutally beaten three Valkyries.
He even stomped on the man's face several times with his shoe.
"Bastard! Get your foot off me!"
The young man beneath his foot unleashed all his strength. Strange blue energy continuously spilled into the surroundings, blasting a hole directly into the ground.
In the end, Mo Wang was completely unhurt, while the young man had gained a shoeprint on his face and his clothes had been blown to shreds by his own power.
"You dare call me a mongrel? You..."
"Calling you a mongrel is giving you too much credit. After all, a clone without even a name is worse than a mongrel."
Mo Wang looked at the young man with utter disdain—or rather, the First Hokage Welt, a clone of Welt Joyce.
When it came to this Joyce clone, many people did not even know he existed.
Even fanfiction writers could not remember who he was.
That was entirely because Mihoyo had retconned him out of existence.
Speaking of him, one had to mention that Honkai Impact 3rd manga, which could be called Mihoyo's dark history.
Looking back at it now, its plot was practically full of landmines everywhere.
