Chapter 80
[In the first timeline Kiana experiences within the Project Ring, what are the tasks she needs to accomplish to Deliverance?]
[A: Playing table tennis.]
[B: Playing badminton.]
[C: Playing mahjong.]
[D: Defeat the Honkai Beast.]
Durandal: "Project Ring, what is Project Ring? And when did Kiana Deliverance?"
Kiana: "Hehe, Lady Durandal, it's about the Delilah thing we explained to you before, about Theresa destroying the world, and I'm the one who's going to Deliverance."
Theresa: "Ugh!!! Why does Theresa have to have a sequel? That awful world should just end already!!!"
That's it, I'm tired, let's destroy it.
The Dean of the Academy is currently preoccupied with this thought, wishing he could ride Judah to outer space.
Earth is no longer a place to stay!
Chapter 130 Olfactory Optimization
Kiana: "Auntie, stop complaining. Don't you still have me? That little Theresa is nothing but a fool. I'll definitely turn this bleak world into the one I want it to be!"
Himeko Murata: "Quite the momentum, Kiana."
Kiana: "Of course, I'm going to become the strongest S-rank Valkyrie."
Although the Theresa had a huge impact on her worldview at the time, Kiana thought about it carefully and realized that those Theresa were probably just like zombies.
She's the Deliverance with the Spacetime Leg Ring.
If the average IQ of Theresa is at the same level as that of a woman with a bad temper, then she's guaranteed to win!
Durandal: "Your resolve to transform an imperfect world into the one you desire is commendable, Kiana. But why are two of the four options about playing ball, and the other about playing mahjong?"
Are you going to Deliverance or go on vacation?
Herrscher of Reason: "Playing mahjong? I know how! Kiana, I'll teach you a couple of moves next time, and you'll be invincible."
Fu Hua: "Uh, Little Senti, why do you know how to play mahjong?"
Although in the previous Desert Island Adventure, Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Reason fought fiercely on the beach using mahjong tiles, the powerful battlefield emanating from it gave birth to Mahjong-class Honkai Beast.
But that's a comedy world!
She's the Immortal Crimson Bird Shenzhou for five thousand years and spent at least four thousand five hundred years making pickles on Mount Tai Xu. How could Fu Hua possibly know how to play mahjong!
You'd be more suited to having her DJ!
The Herrscher of Reason: "Old Timer, didn't we still have a result after our last Desert Island Adventure, playing mahjong? Since then, I've practiced diligently, cheating with every move... My mahjong skills are now superb, I'm sure I'll beat you this time!"
Fu Hua: "..."
Theresa: "Little Senti, where did you get this mahjong table?"
The academy headmistress felt a pang of heartache. Could it be that her consciousness had been altered by the Herrscher of Reason, and she had used the money she had painstakingly diverted from buying comics to buy mahjong tables for the academy?
St. Freya Valkyrie Academy is opening a casino... This is bound to be reported and complained about!
The Herrscher of Reason: "Heh heh! You've forgotten, I am the Herrscher of Consciousness. Creating a mahjong table with illusions is a piece of cake for me."
Himeko Murata: "But doesn't mahjong require four people?"
The Herrscher of Reason: "That's easy. There are so many students skipping classes in the academy. I can just grab three of them and bring them to the illusion to play mahjong with me."
Fu Hua: "..."
Yes, that's very much in Herrscher of Reason.
Using Herrscher Authority to play mahjong, and even pulling truant students into an illusion to modify their consciousness for the game—this is something a child would do.
The only one who was heartbroken was Theresa.
Who would have thought that the St. Freya Academy, which I manage so diligently, would have enough students skipping classes every day to form a mahjong table?
Elysia: "So, which should I choose: playing mahjong, table tennis, or badminton?"
Pardofelis: "Sister Elysia, isn't there another option—fighting the Honkai Beast? No matter how you look at it, that seems to be the most likely outcome, right?"
Fu Hua: "Pardo, Theresa, she's never been serious to begin with!"
Kiana: "Impossible! I'm going to Deliverance, not play around. Deliverance means fighting Honkai Beast, of course! I choose D."
[Incorrect answer.]
The correct answer is A, playing table tennis.
Kiana receives the penalty: Olfactory Buds.
[Description: Within a day, your sense of smell will change, making the aroma of delicious food ten times stronger.]
Kiana: "Smell enhancement, what kind of punishment is this? Isn't it a reward?!"
Kiana, who had been thinking this way just a moment ago, suddenly smelled a delicious aroma coming from the kitchen.
That was fried chicken made by Raiden Mei. It could have been used as bait to lure Kiana, but now its effect was amplified tenfold, and she picked it up almost involuntarily.
"It smells so good..."
The thought of deliciousness had just formed in my mind, before it could even register in my head, when the pungent, deathly taste in my mouth pulled me back to reality.
Kiana stared intently at the fried chicken nuggets in front of her, as if they were some kind of monstrous beast.
She finally understood why the system had punished her this way!
With her enhanced sense of smell, food smelled incredibly delicious, almost like it was floating in the air. However, once the food entered her mouth, she would be forced to vomit by that damned, devilish taste.
Kiana: "Damn it! Optimizing smell, worsening taste, system, where did you come from, you devil?!"
Kiana was already frustrated enough after answering twice incorrectly.
Now, looking at the fried chicken right in front of her, the aroma made her mouth water, but the taste was devilishly delicious.
Tell me, is this the kind of punishment a human being would do?!
Himeko Murata: "Let's see if Kiana dares to be so reckless now. This is a good opportunity to temper your habit of always sneaking food in the kitchen."
Raiden Mei: "Uh, maybe I shouldn't make my soup?"
The aroma of fried chicken alone, released slowly, was enough to whet Kiana's appetite. Raiden Mei couldn't even imagine what Kiana would do if the aroma of soup were released; would she actually float away?
Theresa: "Kiana-chan, you'd better watch your step!"
Kiana: "Snacks? Where can I find some snacks?"
Well, it turns out this Himeko is beyond saving.
[In the scene, Kiana travels through time and space, and as soon as she lands, dust and sand rise up. Her tall figure stands on the earth, looking up at the sky, exuding the demeanor of a great hero.]
The next second, Kiana blushed and threw her muscle jacket on the ground with a thud.
The leg ring suddenly beeped, and Kiana saw the objective of her mission.
Win three table tennis matches.
Kiana looked up at the ping-pong court opposite her, then slowly walked over.
Kiana's first opponent was Liliya, who used her sister as a ping-pong paddle and fought fiercely with Kiana for hours, creating whirlwinds on the table with the ping-pong ball.
Then Kiana had a brilliant idea; while catching the ball, she hit the referee Otto, directly in the face.
Otto flew over with the ball, and Liliya smacked him directly in the face with Otto racket, the sound of the ping-pong ball hitting the ground ringing out.
Otto's head collided with Rozaliya Olenyeva's head, and he was smashed into the wall by a racket, resulting in a large bump on his head.
The physical strength of the Soulium is evident.
Kiana: "Pfft, I know I shouldn't laugh, but I just can't help it, hahaha."
Theresa: "Kiana, how dare you laugh? Grandpa's been slapped into the wall! Pfft~ Okay, I admit I kind of wanted to laugh too."
Chapter 131 A Mighty Fu Warrior Uproot Mountains
That little girl is too fierce! She can actually compete with Bishop Otto's Soulium Head in terms of strength, and those two horns on her head clearly show that she has also fused with the Hypervariable Factor of Honkai Beast.
With that terrifying hardness, Theresa thought they might be even more like Honkai Beast.
Pardofelis: "I understand everything else, but why is the condition for Deliverance playing ping-pong? Although ping-pong doesn't seem very legitimate either."
Kiana: "Uh, maybe that's what makes the World Bubble so peculiar?"
Elysia: "Kiana, in the first of the three ping-pong matches, you'll be facing a King-class Honkai Beast. It doesn't look like it'll be easy for you to get through."
Raiden Mei: "Who's the second one? Wait, I think I just saw Bronya on the field."
Bronya: "Sister Mei, you don't suspect it was me, do you?"
Bronya is saying this is outrageous; with both legs injured, you can't expect her to compete in sports with a Tyrannosaurus Rex from the Kaslana Family, can you?
However, the scene in the picture left Bronya speechless.
She couldn't help but take to the court, even using her Herrscher Authority of Reason to play ping-pong.
Kiana: "Wow! Bronya, you went too far! You used the Herrscher Authority of Reason to play a game, and you even created so many ping-pong balls!"
Bronya: "Uh, don't you also have the powers of the Herrscher of the Void?"
We're both Herrscher, so neither of us should criticize the other.
In the scene, Bronya stands with her arms crossed, and countless ping-pong balls and paddles appear around her, hitting them all at her.
Kiana, not to be outdone, used her Herrscher Authority of the Void to create a subspace, reflecting all the ping-pong balls back.
The game was so intense that it was hard to say who would win. Otto, acting as the referee, was being hit back and forth by the ping-pong ball, and Soulium's face was swollen from all the hits.
At the crucial moment, Kiana took out a pencil, quickly drew Seele's image on the flying ping-pong ball, and then hit it at Bronya.
Bronya watched the ping-pong ball fly towards her, and seeing Seele's gentle smile, a look of longing appeared in her eyes.
At that moment, it felt as if Seele was right beside her.
Without hesitation, Bronya grabbed the ping-pong ball with her bare hand, and Kiana won again.
The next match will be a showdown between Kiana and Fu Hua.
With Fu Warrior strength, each of her balls made the table shake and the ground tremble.
Kiana could only use all her strength to catch the ball, leaving sliding marks on the ground with each catch.
Upon seeing this, Fu Hua immediately used her full strength, her muscular arms bursting through her clothes, revealing her powerfully explosive arms.
Kiana: "Class monitor, you..."
Holy crap, Kiana felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through her mind.
Is this playing ping-pong? This is absolutely murder, it's definitely going to kill someone!
The Herrscher of Reason: "Pfft~ Hahaha, Old Timer, are you trying to make me laugh to death so you can inherit my Herrscher Authority? Hahahaha."
Inside the dormitory, the Herrscher of Reason, clutching her stomach, simply rolled around on the floor, completely ignoring Fu Hua's darkening expression.
Fu Hua: "..."
Cang Xuan: "Hahaha, Immortal, what have you been doing since we left? Did you inherit the family business and open a martial arts school?"
Pardofelis: "Hua, you know me. I would never laugh at you, no matter what!"
After all, seeing Fu Hua's arms, which were even more exaggerated than two of hers, how could Pardo possibly laugh!
At that point Fu Hua could lift her up with just one finger.
Fu Hua: "Ahem, Principal Theresa, you surely understand me. This world of Theresa is just too strange."
Theresa: "Waaaaah, Fu Hua, you really understand me!"
At this moment, Fu Hua understood Theresa's hardships, and Theresa saw the difficulties Fu Hua had faced.
As two victims, they harbored deep resentment towards Theresa.
Danzhu: "Theresa's world is truly toxic. Our Chi Yuan is a rare beauty, with unparalleled grace and captivating charm."
Cang Xuan: "Exactly! Where in the world can you find a beauty like Chi Yuan?"
