Chapter 150
Unwilling to give up Siegfried could only finish the rest of the lamb skewers himself, but... Siegfried never expected that the lamb skewers he grilled... would be just plain awful.
Yes, it was overcooked; the texture and taste weren't very good.
There were more than a dozen skewers that were completely burnt, but Siegfried had no choice but to force himself to eat them, even the charred lamb skewers.
That's why his eyes were filled with tears.
Because it's spicy and tastes terrible, and that's the only reason.
"It seems the family dinner is about to end. True Kiana, wait here for a moment. I'll bring Xiao San over to find you later."
"Okay, go ahead."
Seeing that the family dinner was drawing to a close, K422 naturally stepped forward to give a summary.
After the banquet, only K423, Mei, and Iserin confirmed that they would stay overnight.
Meanwhile, everyone else, including Welt, either went to a hotel or stayed in a house arranged by K422. Yes, even the original owner of the house, Siegfried, could only be kicked out by K422.
He was still in a daze when Ryoma offered him a cigarette after he was kicked out.
"Is this Xiao Er's favorability rating locked in the negative?"
"Don't overthink it. At most, your situation just means it hasn't risen yet; it shouldn't be considered a negative number."
Ryoma couldn't help but comfort Siegfried was in a bit of a daze.
Siegfried was unaware that Otto had already acquired all the land in the area, meaning that Otto had suddenly become Siegfried's landlord.
Of course, the double room that Siegfried and Cecilia stayed in at the Schicksal Headquarters was originally a gift from Otto, so Otto had been Siegfried's landlord for a long time.
Siegfried was unaware that after K422 became the Acting Grand Bishop, the land in this area had somehow come under her name, making her the new landlord.
Therefore, it was not difficult to select a few houses from this piece of land to lend to Welt and his companions for lodging.
The reason for driving Siegfried away was even simpler.
A group of girls are sleeping together, what are you doing getting involved, you big man?
Theresa also wanted to stay, but at Tesla's urging, Theresa reluctantly agreed to choose the same house as Tesla.
After all... Tesla realized from K422's sly grin that if he chose a house alone, Welt would likely be sleeping next to him when he woke up.
The surrounding houses are filled with secret troops who obey K422's orders.
Of course, K422 also told them not to let their guard down, since the secret forces would obey Otto's orders as well as hers.
K422's decision to have them stay overnight in the house was partly a test of Otto's control over the secret forces, and partly Otto about whether Otto knew about her situation, and if so, to what extent.
She naturally explained this to Welt, Ryoma, and Siegfried beforehand.
After learning about the situation, the group did indeed have the idea of testing Otto.
However, when they thought this was the reason K422 drove them away, K422 had also created the environment that True Kiana wanted.
An hour later, the three sisters went into the bathroom together.
K422 also activated its own anti-Honkai wave.
Thanks to friendly fire assessments, neither True Kiana nor K423 felt any discomfort. However, after the anti-Honkai wave spread, the bathroom lights were also affected and began to flicker.
Anti-Honkai wave are merely a state emitted by the holy blood within the body that can erase Honkai Energy. Although anti-Honkai wave cannot directly erase Honkai Energy, they can continuously reduce Honkai Energy within a certain range, while also weakening other energies.
"See, the atmosphere is instantly created..."
The lights then flickered on and off, creating an atmosphere just as K422 had said.
True Kiana, who was washing K423's hair, was speechless.
Sometimes she admired her younger sister's twisted logic and fallacies.
"By the way, I wonder if this double standard fluctuation can include the bathroom's power supply in the friendly forces' category?"
As soon as K422 finished speaking, the power supply for the bathroom lighting equipment was identified as an ally and immediately stopped suffering from the energy weakening caused by the anti-Honkai wave.
"Well..."
This result, however, stunned K422.
True Kiana was even more speechless; she had never seen such an unreasonable ability before.
Oh, I think so. For example, my own black flames are a special ability to purely destroy Honkai Energy, and they have nothing to do with Honkai Energy.
"The atmosphere's all gone now, but at least it's the three of us alone."
True Kiana smiled slightly.
Mei and Iserin had already showered, so no matter how long the three sisters showered, no one would disturb them.
Although the consciousness space chat room built by K422 is safer, True Kiana feels that some things are better said in reality.

166. I'm angry—
"Freya..."
Faced with the environment prepared by her younger sister, Kiana, who was washing her youngest sister's hair, decided to speak her mind.
"... I want to leave here."
"There's no room for negotiation."
K422, whose body was almost entirely immersed in hot water and whose eyes were closed in enjoyment, opened one eye halfway.
Kiana's innermost thoughts were not unexpected by K422. It was precisely because she foresaw that such a thing would happen that she insisted on killing the World Serpent.
"I shouldn't have agreed to that in the first place."
If Kiana hadn't used her emotional appeal on him, K422 would never have let such a good opportunity slip by.
Kiana reveals that she is the successor to the leader of the World Serpent Organization, and at the same time says that the leader of the World Serpent Organization, Kevin Kaslana, is currently trapped somewhere and unable to escape. At that moment, K422's determination to kill the World Serpent Organization reaches its peak.
She wanted to use the momentum of defeating Shencheng Medicine to destroy World Serpent, an organization adept at hiding, in one fell swoop.
The greatest value of Jackal, this traitor, lies in the list of names and hiding places she provided.
Once the World Serpent disappears back into the shadows, the Jackal will be completely worthless.
Jackal may be very capable as a researcher, but Schicksal has never lacked senior researchers.
With the World Serpent's leader unable to escape, an organization lacking a cohesive core simply cannot withstand the relentless pursuit of another powerful organization.
In terms of publicly known combat strength alone, there is the Valkyrie Squad of Schicksal, a large number of floating fleets, and three thousand Honkai Energy fission bomb, not to mention that Otto has many more trump cards up his sleeve.
Whether their ideologies differ or they disapprove of Otto's actions, even if those researchers commit various misdeeds, Schicksal remains the guardian of this world.
Without inhumane human experiments, it would be impossible to create a drug to combat Honkai Energy infection in the shortest possible time.
Without repeated suppression and misdeeds, the Schicksal could not have maintained its current superior position. Such coveted technology would only have become a new trigger for war, instead of maintaining the current balance.
Honkai is a supernatural disaster with a certain degree of intelligence and multiple manifestations.
This includes, but is not limited to, any form that could potentially harm human civilization, such as the mutation or death of Honkai Beast beasts and humans caused by infection, viruses, natural disasters, world wars, or even Honkai pure energy and the creation of Honkai Beasts and Herrscher.
Anti-Entropy might be able to take over the Schicksal, but not now.
The World Serpent is no match for Schicksal in protecting the billions of people on this planet from the clutches of Honkai.
Rather than waiting for the World Serpent Organization to cause trouble for Schicksal, K422 prefers to completely destroy the World Serpent at its most vulnerable moment when it has no leader.
However, this most precious opportunity could only be given up and ignored amidst the pleas of his most important family members.
Even knowing that keeping the World Serpent organization alive would inevitably lead to a war between Schicksal and the World Serpent, causing countless innocent civilians to suffer and Schicksal's Valkyrie to be sacrificed in the process, K422 still hesitated to confront her most important family members.
However, K422 chose his most important family member over the stability of the world without the slightest hesitation.
K422 suddenly understood why Otto had chosen him.
Because at that moment, she realized that she looked exactly like Otto Apocalypse.
"... Kiana, it's been more than ten days since the war with Shencheng Medicine ended. I don't intend to give the World Serpent Organization any chance."
Although it was too late to start the pursuit at this point, as long as the organization was not completely wiped out, Schicksal would be threatened, and his most important family members would also have such suicidal thoughts.
"You want to gather the remaining forces of the World Serpent? Ha, don't even think about it!!"
With both eyes fully open, K422's eyes turned crimson red at that moment.
Honkai Energy within a radius of several kilometers gathers around her.
Welt and the others rushed out of the house. Tesla, who lived with Theresa, had just come out when he saw Einstein standing in front of Siegfried's house, hesitant to move forward.
"Einstein, what's going on?"
"A force field similar to Divine Grace Barrier surrounded the house."
Einstein reached out his hand, but immediately withdrew it.
When Siegfried arrived, he looked at his house and was naturally worried about his three daughters inside. However, before he could rush inside, Theresa stopped him.
"This is Kiana's... cough cough, it's Freya's ability."
"Is that really the case?"
Welt swallowed hard. Unlike Theresa and Siegfried, who were Divine Key, he, as the First Herrscher, felt something completely different.
The energy that constitutes this anti-Honkai wave is Honkai Energy.
However, he felt something completely different from the pressure he had felt in the past.
A massive amount of Honkai Energy gathered around this house, attracting a large number of Honkai Beast. However, the Honkai Beast waited quietly in place, as if welcoming the arrival of the Herrscher.
"This is bad, this is... Great Honkai."
Tesla took out a machine to test the concentration of Honkai Energy, and at this moment, her face looked extremely pale.
The Great Honkai only occurs when Herrscher is born.
Or perhaps, it was precisely because of the Great Honkai that the Herrscher, Enemy of Humanity, was born.
And the one who will become Herrscher in this house is undoubtedly K423, Herrscher Core is buried inside.
"Calm down, Tesla. The Xiao San will be alright. Besides, this barrier was probably set up by the Acting Grand Bishop; she must be the one saving the Xiao San..."
Welt and the others, who were kept outside by the Honkai Energy fluctuations, had no idea what was happening inside the house.
However, this situation also made them unable to remain calm.
Especially Ryoma and Siegfried, whose daughters were inside; if Theresa hadn't stopped them, the two of them probably would have already rushed into the range of the anti-Honkai wave.
Einstein couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
"Calm down, Siegfried, Ryoma. This anti-Honkai wave has the effect of reducing energy. If you rush in, you'll die in less than a minute."
"One minute is enough!"
"So calm down. If they really would harm Ryoma's daughters, they would have been kicked out long ago."
Einstein reached out to test it again, but his hand was injured by the invisible barrier once more.
"Damn it, what on earth happened?"
Siegfried, who was stopped by Theresa, could only scratch his head and fum.
Ryoma, who wanted to move forward, could only stay where he was, shouting in frustration.
"Mei——!!"
"Dad?"
Hearing the noise, Mei opened the window and looked at the people outside the house with a strange expression.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then they all tried to reach out and test it, but they all felt a mysterious force hurting them.
"Oh, it's nothing."
My daughter didn't seem to have anything going on; in fact, she looked quite relaxed.
Ryoma didn't tell anyone that his daughter had the Conqueror Gem implanted in her body, so it's possible that his daughter could be the Herrscher born during the Great Honkai.
However, everyone is standing outside, and they cannot get close, but the current situation makes it impossible for them to know what is happening inside.
