Chapter 117
Mei stared at Kiana's stomach, watching as she devoured five servings of beef, twenty bowls of rice, and over thirty pieces of fried chicken. Mei was terrified that Kiana's stomach would explode in a moment.
Even a starving ghost reincarnated wouldn't eat like this.
Kiana: "It's okay, I can feel myself full of power right now. One punch and I can take down a Honkai Beast without any problem. I can even eat half a refrigerator!"
This is so comfortable! As a Himeko, it feels amazing to get stronger without having to worry about anything and just keep eating.
Kiana felt like she could eat all day because she could digest food faster than she could eat.
Durandal: "A side effect of rapidly increasing physical strength? I've had a similar experience before; after intense training, I'd Gluttony to replenish my energy. But thirty-odd fried chickens at once..."
The Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal is genuinely worried that, given Kiana's lifestyle, Theresa might not be able to afford to support her.
Cosmo: "Gluttony... it's just normal."
It's just fried chicken; for Flame-Chasers, who once ate Honkai Beast raw and grew stronger by absorbing Honkai Beast energy, it's a piece of cake.
Rather, it was the fact that Kiana hadn't finished half a cow that Cosmo found hard to believe.
Theresa: "Damn it! All I have to do is keep eating to get stronger, and it doesn't even affect my figure! I'm so envious!"
Theresa, who clearly shares Vishnu Gene but is forever stuck at the age of twelve due to special circumstances and whose height has been reduced by the system, is quite angry.
Himeko Murata: "But no matter what, Kiana eats way too much. Is her stomach really a bottomless pit?"
Fu Hua: "How about we give Kiana a full-body checkup?"
Su: "In my opinion, the root cause is that Miss Kiana herself possesses the Kaslana bloodline, giving her a physique superior to ordinary people, and naturally, she needs to consume more energy to become stronger."
Even the most reliable of the Flame-Chasers, Su, said so, so everyone naturally felt relieved.
As for why Su is considered the most reliable...
If it were Mobius, knowing that Kiana possesses characteristics similar to Vishnu's yet wouldn't lose control, he would definitely develop a very strong interest in Kiana's [Gluttony].
I'm even more interested in Cosmo.
Kiana: "I can still eat! That awful Kevin... he actually bullied the class monitor and made me run away so embarrassingly. When I get stronger, cough cough! I'll definitely teach him a lesson."
The Himeko channeled its grief and anger into its appetite, relentlessly emptying the food supplies from the college dormitory.
Himeko Murata: "Theresa, I think you should readjust this month's budget, otherwise the dormitory budget won't even be enough for Kiana to eat alone."
Welt: "If cells are absorbing energy, I think we could change our approach to Kiana's diet, for example, by providing foods that are extremely high in energy."
Normal food definitely wouldn't satisfy Kiana's stomach.
If Su's guess is correct, given the Kaslana Family's constitution, even if Kiana ate from morning till night, the energy she consumed wouldn't be enough to support her cellular optimization.
Cang Xuan: "How about we try switching to Honkai Beast?"
Danzhu: "Cang Xuan, what kind of terrible idea is this? Kiana is already Herrscher of Spacetime. If she keeps absorbing Honkai Energy, it will definitely cause her Herrscher to awaken prematurely."
Danzhu scoffed at her sisters' foolish suggestion.
By having Kiana absorb the energy of the Honkai Beast, are you trying to make her transform into a Herrscher of Reason faster than expected?
Cang Xuan: "Then what are your brilliant ideas?"
Danzhu: "Of course, we should charge it directly. Electrical energy is the most efficient way; it can provide a continuous and constant output to maintain the energy supply."
Raiden Mei: "..."
You two are truly a pair of hidden dragons and phoenix chicks. Kiana is Herrscher of the Void, not the Herrscher of Thunder, so why is she charging up?
Furthermore, even the Herrscher of Thunder uses Honkai Energy, not pure electricity, right?
Theresa: "Are you kidding me? Do you think my management skills are too good to support Kiana?"
Himeko Murata: "... My salary hasn't been paid yet."
Theresa: "Ahem! Teacher Himeko, I'm telling you this seriously, no matter how much Kiana eats, I can definitely afford to feed her! At worst, I'll just buy a little less manga this month..."
The Dean's heart is bleeding!
Kiana wasn't chewing on food, but rather her treasured manga, her treasured Humo!
Welt: "Prepare some energy potions. Normal food contains too little energy. At Kiana's rate, she won't even be able to attend classes."
Kiana: "Uh? I don't have to go to class?"
Right, as long as I keep eating and stay hungry, can't I skip class without feeling guilty?
This is fantastic news!
Himeko Murata: "Do you think that's possible, Kiana? Get your studying done and pay for last month's test scores!"
Teacher Himeko was seething with rage whenever she thought about Kiana's score.
Kiana: "But, Auntie Himeko, I... I'm hungry."
Theresa: "It's alright, I can request energy potions from Schicksal. Kiana can maintain her three normal meals a day, and the energy potions will do for the rest."
Kiana: "Auntie, please don't spend the money, that stuff must be very expensive!"
Even a guess would be enough to tell that the high-quality items researched by the Schicksal Headquarters would be ridiculously expensive.
Theresa: "It's alright. As long as Kiana can fill her stomach, what's a little hardship for me, the headmaster? But Kiana, if you dare to score more than ten points again next time, you know what will happen to you, right?"
Kiana: "Gurgle... Auntie, I'm sorry!"
Seeing Theresa's gloomy expression due to the loss of funds, with a skull and ghastly image appearing behind her, Kiana immediately apologized.
Her plan to skip class was now completely ruined.
Chapter 194 Fu Hua is the safest person by Kevin's side.
Sakura: "I think we should worry about Hua and Kevin in the scene first; it looks like they're going to fight."
As Flame-Chasers had escaped from Kevin's clutches, Ying knew very well the pressure Hua was about to face.
Pardofelis: "It's alright, I don't think Boss Kevin would really lay a hand on Hua."
Kiana: "Hmm... I don't even believe it myself, but Kevin is actually very kind to his own people, whether it's Sakura or the class president."
Seeing the memories of the Previous Era Elysian Realm and Kevin's past experiences, Kiana felt completely at ease about Fu Hua's safety.
It was with this in mind that Kiana was able to eat to her heart's content without worrying that Kevin would make things difficult for Fu Hua if she ran away.
On the contrary, Fu Hua might be truly safer if she leaves her own side and goes to Kevin's.
Anti-Entropy couldn't kill Kevin's former comrade, and Otto, the Bishop of Schicksal, wouldn't make such a losing proposition.
[In the scene, after Kiana escapes, only Fu Hua and Kevin remain in the vast wasteland.]
"Hua, you've changed."
Kevin looked directly into Fu Hua's eyes and said.
Perhaps because he had been silent in the Sea of Quanta for too long, even Fu Hua, his old friend who had lived with him until now and completed the legacy of the Previous Era together, had become somewhat unfamiliar to him.
"Perhaps."
Fu Hua lowered her head and did not deny it, but instead used her final Fenghuang Down to attack Kevin.
"Fenghuang Down... you know, it can't interfere with my senses." Kevin stood there in front of Fu Hua.
Fu Hua stepped forward, slowly extending her hand, palm facing upward.
In that instant, a hint of nostalgia appeared on Kevin's face. Fifty Thousand Years, Fu Hua had always been by his side.
But now, the two are enemies.
"I'm not trying to confuse your senses, but rather to show you everything I've experienced, and... my state of mind."
One after another, Fu Hua appeared behind her, representing her past, her recollections, and... the Fu Hua of this moment!
Kiana: "Wow! So cool! Class monitor, you actually have so many different looks?"
One Fu Hua, two Fu Hua, three Fu Hua... so many Fu Hua appeared before everyone's eyes that they were momentarily overwhelmed.
Although they are all essentially Fu Hua, it is obvious that Fu Hua from each period is very different, with huge differences in both mindset and power.
Fu Hua: "It's just a change of clothes, you don't need to make such a fuss, Kiana."
Kiana: "It's different, completely different."
Pardofelis: "Yes, Hua, even I can see it. The changes in you aren't just noticeable in your clothes; they give me the feeling that you're not the same person at all."
Elysia: "In Hua's words, is this what they call bearing different missions?"
Fu Hua: "Hmm... I see?"
Immortal Crimson Bird herself didn't realize that five thousand years had changed her so much.
The Immortal Crimson Bird on Mount Tai Xu, the detective of the Fog City, the Valkyrie of Schicksal... they were all Fu Hua in the past, but at different times, their missions and the things they could do were completely different.
Even though her memories have returned, she is no longer the Immortal Crimson Bird of Mount Tai Xu.
Himeko Murata: "Fu Hua, don't think about that too much. Let's put these philosophical questions aside for now. I'm more interested in your fight with Kevin."
Kiana: "Yeah, class monitor, since you dared to go head-to-head with him, you must have some trump cards up your sleeve, right?"
Fu Hua: "Uh, Kiana, you should know that I should be in a very weak state at this point in the scene. If I'm not mistaken about the timeline, I should have lost my body after being backstabbed by Otto, so I'm transferring my consciousness to you."
Theresa: "Fu Hua, you have this skill too?"
Fu Hua: "It's just some of the clever uses of the Fenghuang Down; I never even imagined I'd have to use it myself."
The once nearly invincible Immortal Crimson Bird has fallen to such a state; one can only lament the impermanence of life.
If she hadn't used Fenghuang Down, Otto should have been able to wake her up with the medical equipment.
Since Otto dared to restore her strength, he naturally had the confidence to persuade Fu Hua. However, she did not expect that the unexpected birth of the Herrscher of Reason would disrupt her plans.
[In the scene, within the Fenghuang Down Illusion, the battle between Kevin and Fu Hua also comes to an end.]
"Hua, your final move was indeed powerful, but it no longer has enough strength to sustain it. We could have witnessed the day when humanity triumphed over the Honkai together."
Kevin reached out and touched Fu Hua's ethereal body. When he opened his hand again, there was a faint feather in his palm.
"You've given so much; you need to rest. You don't need to worry about anything from now on; I will complete our mission."
That feather was very fragile and could disappear at any moment.
In that instant, the illusion collapsed, the scenery before him changed dramatically, and Kevin once again appeared in the dusty ruins.
"I will wake you up after everything is over. Until then, sleep peacefully."
Kevin clenched his fist, preserving the fragile feather on his body, waiting for Fu Hua to awaken from it one day.
"My Lord, you've finally responded! What just happened?"
After leaving the illusion, the Jackal was finally able to connect to Kevin's communication system.
"I just caught up with a friend," Kevin replied, and then said no more.
"The Herrscher of the Void has escaped using her ability; her location cannot be confirmed. Durandal is also heading in your direction."
"Alright, let's start with her then..."
Before he could finish speaking, the blonde Valkyrie was already standing in front of Kevin.
"You're the leader of the World Serpent, aren't you?"
Durandal flicked her hair, while Kevin remained coldly silent, and the atmosphere between them gradually heated up.
"Bring it on."
As you wish!
The battle between the strong needs no further explanation; the clash between the Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal and the World Serpent Lord is about to erupt.
Pardofelis: "This, this is already a fight? Boss Kevin hasn't even said a word yet, uh, it seems like Boss Kevin isn't much of a talker."
From the moment Durandal met Kevin, the two of them never exchanged more than three sentences.
They started fighting without warning, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.
Durandal: "I am the Valkyrie of Schicksal, and he is the leader of the World Serpent. Our battle needs no reason."
Theresa: "That's really dedicated. Thank you for your hard work, Durandal."
As the strongest S-rank Valkyrie in Schicksal, does she have to fight Kevin? The headmaster thought to herself that it was fortunate that she was just an ordinary S-Rank, and didn't need to go head-to-head with Flame-Chasers, the number one hero.
