The Boy Who Believes in Justice Insists on Reasoning Things Out

Although Honkai Energy can be sensed and manipulated by us, it is actually closer to a form of radiation.

In other words, in a sense, it is a slightly special kind of light.

Einstein said calmly.

"I see."

Shi Hen suddenly realized.

Yes, for ordinary people, it is indeed impossible to catch the light.

But... he's a cheater.

At the cost of half of the World Serpent 'Staff of the Yellow Springs of the Underworld, he created a brief moment when Anna's Herrscher Core was disconnected from the Imaginary Space, and then froze this state indefinitely.

In other words, he simply grasped the light directly.

Of course, even for players using cheats, this state cannot be maintained indefinitely.

Even now, the Great Honkai energy from the Imaginary Space is continuously pouring into the real world, attempting to break through the barrier set up by the boy and bring about the Fifth Honkai Outbreak.

If we compare this Honkai Energy to water in a reservoir, then the Herrscher Core within Anna's body is the only breach in that reservoir.

Moreover, it is also the most suitable breach point.

Once this coordinate is lost, this immense Honkai Energy will trigger Honkai at a random location in the world.

This is why Shi Hen chose to freeze Anna completely.

He needs to rely on this newly born Ice Herrscher to stabilize this Honkai Energy.

As long as Anna, the Ice Herrscher, exists, the other party will be the first target of this Honkai Energy.

As for Coral Island... given the current level of Honkai Energy concentration, most of the people in this city should only be in the early stages of Honkai infection, and with proper treatment, they can continue to live a lively life.

This is the limit that Shi Hen can achieve.

Even though he knew that the Will of Honkai would choose the appropriate Herrscher based on the situation, he still had to create a high-quality... or at least seemingly high-quality, environment for the Herrscher to hatch, otherwise the Will of Honkai would most likely not cooperate.

He wasn't so naive as to think that Anna was the only Herrscher candidate and that no matter how he manipulated her, it wouldn't change.

Undoubtedly, this is a gamble.

Fortunately, Shi Hen made the right bet.

With a Soul Steel Doll, he completely broke through Anna's defenses, and the Will of Honkai bestowed upon her the authority of the Ice Herrscher.

The rest depends on the other lucky winner...

"Compared to [Welt White], I am more inclined to believe that this Ice Herrscher chose to freeze herself in order to delay the occurrence of Honkai."

Unaware of the thoughts of the new leader beside him, Einstein continued to speculate about the truth, "Just like what Raiden Mei did during the Third Honkai Outbreak."

Even though there were differences in the effects, Mei did indeed temporarily delay the arrival of the Honkai, preventing the Third Honkai Outbreak from erupting directly in the Changkong City.

"But what did Welt White do in all of this?"

Theresa blinked and asked.

"Have no idea."

Faced with the Nun's probing gaze, Einstein shook his head directly, "But one thing is certain: the birth of the Ice Herrscher is definitely related to that guy."

Even... the other side may have already mastered the method of creating Herrscher!

Otherwise, the arrival of the Ice Herrscher would be too coincidental. It couldn't be that Welt White knew in advance that the other party would become Herrscher, could it?

"That big bad guy!"

Upon hearing Einstein's words, Theresa was instantly filled with rage.

After becoming the new bishop, she utterly criticized Otto, and now she's doing the exact same thing herself. She can't believe there's such a shameless person in the world!

"That imposter!"

His expression also turned resentful, Shi Hen quickly shook his head to compose himself and said in a deep voice, "Let's put aside the matter of that imposter for now. The most important thing now is how to evacuate all the people of Coral Island!"

There are nearly two million people in this city!

Upon hearing this, the Hyperion fell silent instantly.

The Honkai, which could erupt at any moment, and the sheer size of the population... this is undoubtedly a mountain weighing on everyone's heads.

Moreover, it was a desperate situation that they could not escape no matter what!

Chapter 104 A Young Man with a Firm Belief in Justice Insists on Reasoning

"Report! Camp One is running low on food, requesting reinforcements!"

"Report! A small-scale Honkai infection has occurred at Camp 4. Anti-Honkai drugs are urgently needed!"

"Report! Camp 12 has been attacked by Honkai Beasts. The mech squad has suffered heavy losses. Requesting reinforcements from headquarters!"

When Wendy finally returned from the front lines and stepped into the temporary base that Anti-Entropy had set up on the outskirts of Coral Island, she was greeted by a scene of bustling activity, both inside and out.

Looking at the scene before her, which was far busier than any previous Honkai event, Wendy couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes, but then she nodded slightly in understanding.

Normally, large-scale Honkai disasters are accompanied by countless horrific sacrifices.

Faced with the rapidly increasing concentration of Honkai Energy, most people cannot even struggle and will turn into Honkai zombie in just a few breaths.

But this time... while Herrscher was indeed born on Coral Island, the change in Honkai Energy concentration was unusually slow, which caused the number of people Anti-Entropy needed to rescue to jump from a few thousand to a million in an instant.

This undoubtedly exceeds the current organizational capabilities of Anti-Entropy.

In this situation, the original plan for relocating the population Anti-Entropy is no longer feasible.

The existing ships on Coral Island, along with the few Hover Battleship brought by Anti-Entropy, are simply not enough to transport nearly two million people.

As for reinforcements from other countries and regions... not everyone can be as extravagant as Anti-Entropy, directly summoning an entire floating fleet.

Due to various constraints, Anti-Entropy could only choose to build temporary camps using the open spaces and large buildings on Coral Island to temporarily settle the refugees.

On the one hand, they had to maintain the operation of many camps, and on the other hand, they had to guard against Honkai Beasts that could suddenly jump out from any corner. Naturally, the manpower and resources brought by Anti-Entropy were in short supply.

Even though Schicksal invested a lot of manpower and resources in this operation, it was still a drop in the ocean compared to the two million suffering people.

Not daring to disturb the boy in charge of overall coordination at the base's center, Wendy took small steps toward a retired red-haired Valkyrie who seemed to have a bit more free time.

"Teacher Himeko, how is the situation now?"

Wendy asked in a slightly hoarse voice, a hint of worry showing on her tired face.

"To be honest, it's absolutely terrible."

Himeko handed Wendy a bottle of mineral water and sighed deeply, "Food, medicine, manpower... we're lacking almost everything right now."

Before this, she had never imagined that the rescue work would be this complicated.

Thanks to the efforts of Kiana, Wendy, and others, the citizens of Coral Island were able to survive to the greatest extent possible, and then... Anti-Entropy's command system crashed.

That's nearly two million people!

It's important to understand that if a large-scale Honkai occurs in the center of a city, it would be considered extremely lucky if a few thousand people survive.

In a sense, this can be considered a happy kind of trouble.

So after a simple complaint, Himeko's expression softened a bit, and she said, "Of course, these are all problems that can be solved in comparison."

With a careful search, Coral Island still yielded a considerable amount of supplies, and our joint team with Schicksal has already achieved good results.

So, the most important thing right now is still that...

As she spoke, Himeko gestured towards an iceberg that was faintly visible in the distance.

On this artificial island located on the equator, there should not be anything related to ice and snow.

But at this moment, the iceberg appeared out of nowhere, and even seemed to be expanding, showing no respect for the laws of physics.

"A new Herrscher..."

Looking at the shimmering, sparkling surface in the sunlight, Wendy's expression grew more serious.

Even though all the Herrscher created so far have switched sides to the human camp, this newly arrived Herrscher is still a threat that cannot be ignored.

After all, no matter how strong Kiana and the others are, the ordinary people living on Coral Island are incredibly vulnerable.

There wouldn't even be any aftershocks of an attack; if the current concentration of Honkai Energy were to rise even slightly, the two million innocent citizens who were barely surviving in the temporary camp would instantly perish.

"Theresa and Einstein have already set off to investigate the situation of the Herrscher, and our joint teams with Schicksal are also in charge of the various camps."

So you should go and get some rest. Look how exhausted you've become!"

Seeing the deep weariness on the girl's face, which even makeup couldn't hide, Himeko felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Even though continuous combat is common for Valkyrie, according to the intelligence she gathered at the camp, Wendy has been fighting for at least fifteen hours.

Does this silly girl think she's some kind of robot? Or does she still think she's Herrscher?

Thinking of the Herrscher squad, which is still quite active on the front lines, Himeko couldn't help but shake her head and sigh inwardly.

The physical constitutions of humans and Herrscher are ultimately not comparable.

"By the way, who are the people from Schicksal's side?"

Instead of leaving immediately, Wendy thought for a moment and then asked, a hint of expectation flashing in her eyes.

"It's Rita Losweisse and Mei, but Rita is the one who's mainly in charge."

Unaware of the girl's subtle thoughts, Himeko spoke quite frankly.

Even though Valkyrie, who has become S-rank Valkyrie Mei, is one rank higher than Rita at this moment, the prestige that the latter has built up over a long period of time is far beyond what Mei, who suddenly appeared, can match.

Of course, if Durandal were also present, the command would undoubtedly belong to this strongest Valkyrie.

Unfortunately, it seems the other party did not come this time.

As she thought about it, Himeko couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

She hadn't forgotten that, according to Einstein's theory, Welt White was the mastermind behind this Honkai.

Moreover, the opponent did not create Herrscher by using Herrscher Gem like Otto or Cocolia, but created a new Herrscher from scratch!

From this point of view alone, Welt White's understanding of Honkai is undoubtedly superior to all of them.

But after the Ice Herrscher is born, will the other party really just leave her alone?

The thought of Durandal's mysterious absence and Mei's apparent actions driven by her own will weighed heavily on Himeko's heart.

As always, even before Welt White has truly shown himself, the shadow he casts is enough to inspire awe.

"Mei came too?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yes, but she seems to be Anti-Honkai Beasts on the front lines, and we are unable to contact her for the time being."

Himeko looked at the girl with a puzzled expression and explained.

Even though the temporary base has devices to enhance communication signals, it is limited by the chaotic Honkai Energy on Coral Island and the increasingly active Honkai Beasts, so it can only maintain contact with each camp.

Of course, the Herrscher of Reason can manually build communication base stations is not among them.

"I see..."

Wendy's expression immediately darkened.

Her doubts deepened, and after thinking for a moment, Himeko said, "Do you need to see her for something? If necessary, I'll have Shi Hen talk to Rita and ask her to check on Mei..."

"No, no, no! It's nothing! Don't bother Hen!"

Upon hearing this, Wendy quickly blushed and denied it.

At a time like this, she couldn't possibly waste public resources asking Mei how to win over a boy, could she?

Even though she did have some questions about the Desire Gem, the girl understood that ultimately she had to rely on herself, just as Mei had done before.

"Um???"

A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, but then she noticed that Wendy's gaze kept glancing at the boy. Himeko suddenly realized what was going on and looked at the girl in front of her with pity.

This kid really picked the worst possible time.

As she thought about it, Himeko couldn't help but secretly complain about the boy.

The boy seemed quite normal when he was dealing with Kiana and Mei, but when it came to Wendy...
