Transforming into Kanna on Terra

"Okay! It's almost time for my aromatherapy treatment anyway," Kanna said excitedly upon hearing Rosemary's words. Aromatherapy sounded so comfortable, and she had never experienced it before.

The group, holding hands, quickly arrived at the greenhouse used for recuperation.

Upon entering, Kanna waved at the Perfumer not far away. Then, they walked into a small room next to it. In the center of the room was a beautiful glass sphere containing what looked like a swimming fish.

This glass sphere was a gift Kanna had brought back earlier. After she gave it to the Perfumer, the Perfumer placed it inside the small room.

Seeing her gift prominently displayed upon entering, Kanna became even happier.

Soon, the Perfumer entered carrying a box that was emitting steam.

"The environment in this small room is also very suitable for aromatherapy. Since Rosemary mentioned it, let's start here!" With that, the Perfumer placed the box not far away and used magic to heat it from below. In no time, a gentle fragrance filled the entire room.

The three little ones rested their heads on the table, basking in the calming aroma. The restlessness from days of continuous study and exams was completely dispelled in that moment.

"This is truly… blissful…"

In the peaceful atmosphere, the Perfumer smiled and quietly left the room, leaving behind three little ones who had fallen asleep on the table with their eyes closed.

When they woke up, it was already afternoon. Patting their slightly deflated bellies, the three bid farewell to the Perfumer and hopped towards the cafeteria.

From afar in the cafeteria, many of the veteran chefs felt a jolt upon seeing the three enter, leaving the new chefs beside them confused.

But when they saw the head chef looking as serious as if facing a formidable enemy, everyone also became tense.

Kanna poked her head into the kitchen from outside.

"Uncle, we're hungry! Is there any more food?"

Upon hearing Kanna's words, the head chef flinched all over before quickly nodding.

"Kanna, you want something to eat? No problem, we'll make it for you right away…"

After Kanna left, the head chef grabbed two new cooks. "You two go next door and bring over all the food they didn't sell at lunch."

"But, we still have quite a bit left, don't we?" the newcomer asked, pointing at a pile of ingredients nearby, confused.

The head chef touched his chest with a melancholic expression. Finding no cigarettes, he sighed. "A few months ago, I was just the third chef in this kitchen. Until that day, a dragon and a dog came to this restaurant. Coincidentally, I was off that day and didn't know what happened. But when I came to work the next day, I found all the kitchen staff sick. And the head chef and second chef quit their jobs to join the military after that day…"

Under the head chef's melancholic gaze, a few novices ran out in a panic.

Hearing their footsteps, Kanna and the others turned their heads in curiosity. Seeing them turn, the novices ran even faster.

"What's wrong with them?" Kanna asked, puzzled.

"No idea!" Popukar, lying on the table, fiddled with the little conch Kanna had given her.

Soon, the newcomers returned carrying several large boxes of food. Kanna nodded, thinking the chefs in this kitchen were very reliable. Knowing she had a big appetite, they specifically went to get more ingredients. She decided she would definitely come back to support them more in the future.

Of course, if the head chef knew Kanna's thoughts, he would only fall to his knees and beg her to support other kitchens more. After all, the others were veterans, and he was still a newcomer…

"Boss, there isn't much food left next door either. They only had this nutritional meal that Miss Hibiscus made, and they kept a lot of it. When they heard we needed it, they gave it all to us."

The newcomers, returning with several large boxes, happily reported to the head chef.

The head chef was stunned. "Rumor has it that young dragons don't care about taste. Perhaps this food is a solution."

Under the head chef's instructions, the food was served to the table one by one.

Considering that the other two at the table clearly couldn't eat much, the head chef conscientiously placed the nutritional meal last. After the other two were full, he began serving the nutritional meal one by one as he watched Kanna eat.

Looking at the increasingly strange food before her, Kanna glanced at the sweating head chef not far away and then swiftly shoveled a plate into her mouth.

##

Section 139: Chapter 132 - The Beautiful Dark-Skinned Woman

Seeing Kanna devour all the "Hibiscus Special Nutritional Meals" at a very efficient pace, the head chef wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Kanna didn't feel much about it. Although the taste was a bit weird, it was much better than eating Originium slugs raw. And after eating it, she felt that it provided slightly more energy than ordinary food.

Seeing Kanna eat so happily, Popukar curiously reached out and grabbed a strange-looking piece of food. As soon as she put it in her mouth, she frowned. "Wow! Ugh, it's so bitter, and the taste is so strange. I feel like everything has become terrible…"

With just one bite, Popukar's eyes rolled into her head, and she collapsed, becoming the latest casualty of the remaining nutritional meals.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a secret weapon developed by Rhodes Island's Medical Department for internal purges. It's made from seventy-seven or eighty-one ingredients mixed together. Unless you have great willpower, eating it is fatal," Kanna said, pointing at Popukar, who had fallen to the side, while licking the sauce off her fingers.

Rosemary just widened her eyes and nodded in agreement.

"Hey, hey, hey! What happened to Feline's strong curiosity? You're not even as good as the rabbit next to you!"

Rosemary just blinked her eyes, looking adorably dazed.

"Never mind, Popukar, have some water. You won't feel weird after drinking water." Kanna got a cup of juice from the counter not far away and brought it to Popukar's lips.

After drinking the juice, Popukar finally came to her senses. She looked at the stacked plates nearby and then at Kanna with eyes like she was looking at a god. Being able to eat something so unpalatable without changing her expression was the definition of a god in a child's mind.

After finishing their meal, Kanna led them to the deck. The weather was nice, and many people were sunbathing on the deck. They greeted Kanna and the others upon seeing them.

At this moment, Kanna also saw Melantha, with the pink muscular rabbit, the one from the An Lushan Rebellion, and a Perro with eyes full of athleticism standing beside her.

Upon seeing Kanna, Melantha greeted her first. "Kanna, long time no see!"

"Melantha, long time no see. Judging by your complexion now, you must be doing well at Rhodes Island!" Compared to her delicate appearance when she first arrived at Rhodes Island, Melantha now looked full of vigor.

Seeing Kanna looking at her teammates, Melantha said, "These are Kati, Steward, Andchel, and Ansel. We've currently been assigned to the Action Reserve Team, Squad A4."

"Hello, I'm Kanna."

As Kanna spoke, Kati curiously walked up to her, sniffed her, and then looked at her with a shocked expression.

"You actually smell like Hibiscus's nutrient paste! You haven't eaten that stuff, have you?"

Too shocked to control her volume, Kati's voice attracted the attention of the nearby Action Preparation Team A1.

"What's this? Someone likes my nutrient paste? I knew it, the balance of my nutrient paste is so reasonable, how could no one like it... it must be your taste buds that are the problem."

Leading the group was Hibiscus, the originator of the nutrient paste, followed by Ifrit, Closure, Meteor, and Fen.

After meeting with the members of Action Preparation Team A4, both sides exchanged pleasant greetings.

"It was me! The taste of that nutrient paste is a little strange, but it's much better than Flower Maniac's head, only a little worse than Curious Egg."

Kanna put her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

"Flower Maniac? Curious Egg?"

The people around them looked confused after Kanna spoke.

"It's something I ate when I went to Iberia with Kal'tsit!" Hearing Kanna speak, several Operators from Iberia nearby frowned. No matter how hard they thought, they couldn't recall any snacks in Iberia called "Flower Maniac" or "Curious Egg," names that sounded strange enough on their own.

As some of the Sargon people pondered these two names, they felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

"Let me tell you, the seafood on the coast of Iberia is very enthusiastic. They invite you home as soon as they meet you, and then all sorts of seafood are sent your way. Although most of it tastes ordinary, the sheer quantity is overwhelming, and their jellyfish sashimi is especially delicious..."

The more Kanna spoke, the more absurd the others found it. How could food invite people into its home and even bring itself to someone's mouth? It sounded like a fairy tale from a child's perspective. So, most people shifted their attention elsewhere.

However, a dark-skinned young man nearby was unusually focused on Kanna, his eyes shining with a very serious light.

He silently walked closer to Kanna and said, "My countryman, may the deep sea bless your path." (Sargon language)

Seeing that Kanna showed no reaction, he moved closer. "My countryman, the deep sea will guide your journey." (Sargon language)

As he got closer and muttered strange words, he inevitably attracted the attention of several people.

Kanna noticed his gaze and turned her head. "Wow! A dark-skinned beauty!"

Upon hearing Kanna's words, the few people who had refocused on the situation because of the young man's approach immediately burst out laughing.

Even from behind or from the side, it was clear he was a young man, yet Kanna immediately used the term "beauty." How could the onlookers possibly contain themselves?

Even the young man who had approached with caution was stunned. He had imagined many possible scenarios for their meeting, but this was completely beyond his expectations.

"It's Mr. Thorns," Melantha, also an excellent swordswoman, introduced him.

Thorns glanced at Melantha, nodded, and then continued to stare at Kanna. "Answer me, my countryman, does the sea bring a new mission?" (Sargon language)

"Give it up! Kanna doesn't understand Sargon language, and she hasn't been corrupted by the 'Sea Creatures'," Kal'tsit's voice came from not far away.

She was standing under the bridge of the ship, and above her, Warfarin, who had been hung up again, was spitting at her with dissatisfaction.

"But Kanna said she ate those things, Doctor Kal'tsit!" Thorns's expression towards Kanna remained very serious.

"I know, but we were with the Inquisitor the entire time before we left Iberia, and we even communicated with 'Saint Carmen.' If Kanna had been corrupted by sea creatures, do you think it would have escaped my eyes and theirs?" Kal'tsit was not flustered and directly invoked the living faith of the people of Iberia, "Saint Carmen," to explain.

Hearing Kal'tsit's words, Thorns's gaze towards Kanna softened.

Chapter 140: Chapter 133: Eye of Thunder Punishment and Evil

"I trust that person's judgment. I apologize, my countryman." (The latter part is Sargon language)

After finding that Kanna still showed no reaction, Thorns clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

Kanna turned to Kal'tsit. "What was he babbling about?"

"Nothing, just confirming some things. It's clear you've passed his test." Kal'tsit waved her hand. A person on top of the bridge twisted the rope below, and the bound Warfarin, like a caterpillar, began to swing.

"Scout! Don't let me catch you! I'll show you what real blood... Ahhhhh, I'm going to crash!" Amidst Warfarin's screams, everyone noticed that the person at the top was none other than Scout. (Moon.Fei Group 694.936135)

Kanna glanced at the giant swing, feeling a bit eager, but remembering the reason she came out, she suppressed the feeling.

She then recounted what happened in Rock Bay Town, her story eliciting gasps from the crowd. When she mentioned the Sea Creatures leading a great beast attack on Rock Bay Town, Thorns, who was eavesdropping nearby, unconsciously clenched his fists.

He then felt relieved upon hearing that they had successfully thwarted the enemy's plan, sent the intelligence from Rock Bay Town, and received confirmation that reinforcements were on their way.

Although he completely disbelieved Kanna's later story about her displaying immense power, evolving her Sharingan into Mangekyo Sharingan, then using Lightning Style: One-Finger Nukite to charge into the monster's center, and then pointing a finger to the sky, summoning divine lightning to scare away the Great Beast with Lightning Style: Kirin, he was still relieved to hear that Rock Bay Town had successfully repelled the attack with almost zero casualties among the townsfolk.

Finally, Kanna said, "After this battle, I realized there were still many gaps in my combat power that needed to be filled. So, I've been meditating and thinking hard during this time, and finally, I've developed a new technique. How should I put it? It doesn't greatly increase my individual combat power, but if I fight with everyone, the more people there are, the stronger this technique becomes."

Kal'tsit, who was about to leave the deck to return to the control room to continue her work, heard Kanna say she had a new technique that could provide powerful assistance to her teammates, and she curiously stayed.

Under everyone's gaze, Kanna stood there, waved her hand, and shouted, "Unfeeling Severance!"

As she waved her hand, a bolt of lightning flashed from her fingertips, forming an eye shape in front of Kanna under everyone's watch, and then it exploded. Although the power was considerable, roughly equivalent to the attack of an Elite Operator, it was quite ordinary compared to her other abilities.

However, the moment the eye disappeared, everyone noticed that a dim purple halo appeared behind everyone around them, and at the top of the halo was the "eye" that had just disappeared in front of Kanna.

Seeing that a purple "eye" had appeared above everyone's heads, they were all bewildered. The intelligent ones tilted their heads back to look, to see if they had one, and the result was that everyone had this "eye" symbol on their heads.

Seeing the confused looks of those around her, Kanna nodded proudly and then said, "This is my new technique—Eye of Thunder Punishment and Evil. All Rhodes Island members who are not far from me will receive this effect. The mark of receiving the effect is a symbol of the Eye of Thunder Punishment and Evil behind them."

Under Kanna's instruction, Melantha walked up to a target. She swung her sword and struck the target. The moment she hit it, the eye behind her emitted a purple light, and a lightning bolt, similar in power to Kanna's previous attack, appeared out of nowhere and instantly blew up the target.

Kanna then explained, "Partners who possess the Eye of Thunder Punishment and Evil will have the Eye of Thunder Punishment and Evil behind them assist in attacking the target when they attack. The power is about the same as my previous attack. It should help everyone deal with most situations where firepower is insufficient during combat."

After hearing Kanna's explanation, everyone's eyes lit up. During combat, it would be troublesome for two evenly matched individuals to defeat each other. It would require multiple encounters and probes before one could seize various opportunities to defeat the other. However, with this Eye of Thunder Punishment and Evil on their heads, as long as they attacked, a phantom thunderclap would appear to supplement their damage. What's more, this supplementary damage was much higher than their actual attack power.

This meant that everyone following Kanna on missions would need to exert less effort in combat, allowing them to focus more attention on defense and evasion.

Even Kal'tsit couldn't help but nod upon seeing this effect. With such a spell, Kanna could be even more effective when executing assault operations.

"Ahem! Don't rush! I haven't finished speaking yet!" Kanna shouted loudly as everyone began to find targets to test the strength and frequency of the Eye of Thunder Punishment and Evil, drawing their attention back.

Everyone was somewhat surprised. In their eyes, this was already a perfect spell, and they didn't expect Kanna to say there were other uses.

"Popukar, come here!" Kanna beckoned to Popukar, who was excitedly swinging her giant saw nearby, scaring everyone away.

"Oh!" Popukar put her giant saw down on the ground and ran over to Kanna.

Seeing Popukar approach, she continued speaking to those around her.

"The effect of my spell isn't that simple. Thunder, come!"

Kanna clenched her small fist, and the Eye of Thunder Punishment and Evil behind Popukar suddenly disappeared. In Kanna's hand, something resembling a seed appeared. Sharp-eyed Operators noticed that the appearance of the seed and the symbols carved on it were exactly like the Eye of Thunder Punishment and Evil Kanna had mentioned.

Popukar was initially a little disappointed when the strange "eye" on her head disappeared, but Kanna handed her the small "eye" in her hand.

Holding the Thunder Seed Kanna gave her, Popukar tilted her head, looking somewhat confused.

Kanna turned around and pointed at the scout squatting nearby, watching the spectacle.

"Popukar, imagine the scout is your enemy and just throw this thing casually, or use your magic to activate it."

The scout had initially come over out of curiosity about the spell, but he never expected Kanna to make Popukar target him.

He instinctively felt a sense of foreboding and immediately got up and jumped backward.

Popukar, however, didn't think much of it. Kanna told her to throw it, so she decisively tossed the Thunder Seed she was holding.

The Thunder Seed exploded the moment it hit the ground at its landing point.
