"..."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Kiana blinked, a clear naiveté showing in her blue eyes.

She felt like her brain wasn't quite up to par.

"Hen, you're right."

If it weren't for Otto and guys like Welt White, so many tragedies wouldn't have happened in this world.

Wendy couldn't help but clench her fist, looking as if she deeply sympathized.

Even disregarding the other things these bastards did, Otto caused her to be confined to a wheelchair for three whole years, while [Welt White] forcibly took the Desire Gem, nearly killing her and even bringing the boy to the brink of death at one point.

These two demons are people she can never forgive.

"But it is precisely because such people exist in the world that we should unite as one to fight against the darkness and tragedy."

Speaking in a serious tone, Shi Hen's face did not show much indignation, but rather revealed a calmness like that of a rock after weathering a storm.

Where there is light, there will be shadow. When the shadow cast by [Welt White] covers the world, humanity will naturally stop thinking about fighting amongst themselves.

For example, even without Durandal's order, Rita would readily request cooperation from Anti-Entropy to jointly deal with this Honkai.

This is the advantage of having a common enemy.

If Otto were to lead, regardless of what Schicksal might bring, Anti-Entropy would first have to be wary of the other side stabbing it in the back.

As for [Welt White]... it's common knowledge that he's been a villain from the very beginning, so there's no need to consider whether he'll betray us.

"Hen is right!"

Finally finding an opportunity to interject, Kiana handed a piece of pork chop from her food box to the boy's mouth.

"Hmm~"

Kiana naturally opened her mouth and took a bite. After swallowing it, Shi Hen instructed, "Kiana, you have to go to the front lines to fight later. You should eat more."

"It's okay, I'm Herrscher now, I can go for days without eating and it won't bother me."

Besides, Hen, you've been working really hard behind the scenes!

Kiana smiled and said, her joy almost overflowing.

"Um?"

It was only then that Wendy noticed the boy's food was different from hers, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Are supplies also scarce in the base?"

The dinner in her hand was not only plentiful but also contained a lot of meat, enough even for an adult male engaged in manual labor.

On the contrary, the young man, who was the Anti-Entropy Leader, ate very simply, with not a trace of meat in his food box.

"This is a rule set by Hen; only frontline combat personnel can meet this standard."

Kiana showed Wendy the lavish dinner in her hand and explained on her behalf.

"..."

Looking at the simple food in front of the boy, Wendy's expression became somewhat dazed.

Because of her previous experience in the Oceania Branch, she wasn't particularly fond of the Anti-Entropy organization.

Even though the boy became the Anti-Entropy Leader, and Theresa gradually integrated the Far East Branch into Anti-Entropy, her impression of the organization only improved slightly.

But now, looking at the simple meal in front of the boy, and seeing many other people in the base eating the same food, Wendy couldn't help but realize the difference between Anti-Entropy and Schicksal.

"Hen, you will definitely become an outstanding Anti-Entropy Leader."

Gazing intently into the boy's dark eyes, Wendy spoke with utmost seriousness.

Whether it was the boy who set out this rule or the Anti-Entropy group who were willing to abide by it, they all made the girl feel a kind of belief that was completely different from Schicksal.

"See? I told you it would be like this!"

Hearing Wendy's praise, Kiana immediately looked proud. "But speaking of which, I thought you would change your name to something like Mr. Welt after you become the leader of the alliance."

Well, as the dignified Third Generation Leader the alliance, the young man still used his real name, unlike the previous ones.

"Because I want everyone to remember Mr. Welt, rather than just seeing him as a shadow of the past."

Shi Hen said solemnly.

The core purpose of Welt Young inheriting the name of the first Herrscher of Reason was actually to deceive Otto into believing that Welt Joyce was still alive, thus preventing him from taking any rash actions against Anti-Entropy.

As long as the spirit of fighting for the world among the Anti-Entropy Leader continues to be passed on, a name is irrelevant.

"Yes, Mr. Welt ... he is indeed a great man."

Upon hearing this, Kiana nodded slightly, her expression dimming somewhat.

Kiana always believed that Welt Yang had sacrificed his life again to protect the boy and guide Bronya and the others, naturally felt sorry for him.

"By the way, I heard that this whole thing is also related to [Welt White]?"

As she asked the question, Wendy forked a pork chop and held it in mid-air, glancing at the boy with a hesitant look.

"Well, based on the evidence we have so far, it's highly likely that guy caused the Honkai."

Shihen glanced at the green-haired girl with a puzzled look, Shi Hen quickly explained in a low voice, "Moreover, this time the Herrscher's identity should be the captain of the local garrison force - the Snow Lotus Squad, the A-rank Valkyrie Anna Schariac."

Unfortunately, we didn't get any useful information from the other Valkyrie in the Snow Lotus Squad, nor do we know why Anna became Herrscher.

It must be said that Anna usually disguises herself very well, and doesn't let the other Valkyrie in the team see her inner vulnerability.

But perhaps it was precisely because she hid it so well that she had to bear all that pain alone.

Tormented by her own guilt, Anna's heart was like a constantly rising reservoir, ready to burst at the slightest crack, plunging the young girl into utter collapse.

"Hmph! It must be that big bad guy's doing again!"

Upon hearing the boy's words, Kiana immediately became furious.

"But what is that guy's purpose?"

Wendy frowned.

"According to Miss Rita from Schicksal, that guy seems to be collecting all the Herrscher Authority for some purpose."

Shi Hen explained softly.

Well, it wasn't until two and a half years later that he received this boomerang after he revealed that [Welt White] was going to collect the Herrscher Authority.

This is the consequence of not establishing a united front against Anti-Honkai.

"That Mei..."

Kiana couldn't help but feel worried.

"With Kevin Kaslana around, Mei should be safe for the time being."

Patting the white-haired girl on the shoulder, Shi Hen gently comforted it.

"Um..."

Nodding with some skepticism, Kiana quickly finished the last bit of food, then placed the chicken leg she had deliberately left in the boy's box before jumping up and saying, "Okay, I'm full!"

"..."

Looking at the chicken leg in front of him, Shi Hen couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and his eyes showed a hint of helplessness as he looked at the girl in front of him. "Remember to be careful and don't be reckless when something happens."

"Don't worry, I'm not the Kiana I used to be."

In response to the boy's concern, Kiana simply gave him a bright and confident smile.

"Remember to conserve your energy, the operation will officially begin in twelve hours."

Shi Hen reminded him again.

"What kind of operation?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy couldn't help but cast a questioning look at the boy.

"According to the findings of the headmaster and Dr. Einstein, the Honkai Energy concentration on Coral Island will reach a critical value in twelve to twenty hours."

By then, most of the people remaining on the island will have become Honkai zombie.

Shi Hen explained earnestly.

"Ah!?"

She couldn't help but gasp, and the pork chop in Wendy's hand trembled and flew away.

Snap!

With lightning-fast reflexes, Shi Hen caught the pork chop and returned it to Wendy's food box...

Seeing the green-haired girl instinctively bite into the pork chop, Shi Hen immediately felt an incredibly sharp gaze coming from the side.

"Cough cough!"

Forcing himself to calm down, Shi Hen continued to explain, "Based on the speed of the evacuation, at least 1.2 million people will still be on the island at that time."

"Therefore, Dr. Einstein proposed another solution."

Kiana glared at the boy with a huff, then continued, "On one hand, Anti-Entropy and Schicksal will establish protective shields in various camps to minimize the impact of the Honkai Energy concentration."

On the other hand... at that time, I will use the Void Herrscher's power to send the Ice Herrscher away along with the impending Honkai!

"Is this really possible?"

After finally managing to swallow the pork chop, Wendy was even more horrified.

She had never even heard of the Transfer Honkai.

"I will definitely do it."

Kiana spoke slowly and deliberately, her eyes revealing a steely resolve.

Behind her lay the lives of 1.2 million people on Coral Island. This was no longer a question of whether she could do it, but that she had to do it!

Bearing the name of Kaslana, she must not lose!

"Kiana, after this is over, I..."

Looking intently into the girl's eyes, Shi Hen spoke in an extremely serious tone.

"!!!"

In an instant, the white-haired girl's eyes became burning with passion.

"I'll cook you a huge feast, whatever you want to eat!"

Meeting the girl's expectant gaze, Shi Hen slowly uttered the second half of his sentence.

Kiana: "..."

She suddenly felt like she had lost all motivation.

Even now, does this guy still think he's as easy to bribe as before?

At least...

Kiana couldn't help but swallow as she looked at the boy's red lips, which appeared even more luscious due to the oil stains.

Boom--

But before the white-haired girl could act on its desires, a crimson thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the sky.

"... I'm leaving!"

Without caring about anything else, Kiana instantly transformed into a ball of fire and flew away, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Seeing this, Shi Hen nodded in satisfaction.

Sure enough, no matter what, Kiana can always be motivated by a delicious meal. It was worth all the hard work he put into cooking for this white-haired girl for three years.

On the other side, Wendy glanced around and immediately tensed up.

Kiana left, and now it seems only she and the boy are left...

The image of Kiana feeding the boy immediately made Wendy's face turn bright red, but she still forced herself to lift a pork chop. "Hen, you have to try it..."

"Wendy, I still have some things to take care of. Take your time eating, there's no rush."

Shihen gave the girl a reassuring smile, Shi Hen turned and left.

As an excellent Anti-Entropy Leader, even though Peggy has come to help him with many tasks, he can still find plenty of things to do.

Moreover, while doing something is important, knowing how to make others see it is also an art.
