Inside and Outside Coral Island; Wendy Wants to Hold On to the Future

It could even be said that the Herrscher Persona is more like a supplement to the human personality.

This is the gift that Elysia gave to the Herrscher of this era.

In this environment, Anna Ice Herrscher, seems quite out of place.

"Let me see what your deepest obsession is."

Shi Hen walked slowly toward Anna, and the ice pillar that had been blocking his way immediately turned into powder and vanished with the wind.

Before long, only a thin layer of ice remained covering Anna.

As if sensing the threat from the white-haired man, the Ice Herrscher immediately awoke from her slumber, unleashing Great Honkai of Honkai energy that shattered the ice crystals on her body.

"Ah!!"

With a sharp, mournful cry, a surging wave of cold air erupted from the Ice Herrscher and spread outwards, carrying countless blue ice crystals as it rushed toward the white-haired man.

Faced with this extremely cold wave that could freeze even the air, the eyebrows under the Shi Hen mask twitched slightly, and an arm formed of ice suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed the Ice Herrscher tightly.

In an instant, the previously frantic Ice Herrscher calmed down like a chick.

"I'm sorry, you're just too powerful..."

"Forget it, let's just go for it."

Without wasting any more words on the Ice Herrscher was now barely rational, Shi Hen formed a sword finger with his right hand and pointed it at the Herrscher's brow.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the black mask covering the girl's face shattered into pieces, revealing a cold, expressionless face beneath.

But the next second, as the white-haired man injected his spiritual power, the girl's blue eyes widened to their maximum size, and a speck of white light appeared in her pupils, like a cluster of flickering sparks.

Chapter 111 The Inside and Outside of Coral Island: Wendy Wants to Grasp the Future

After a long while, Shi Hen withdrew his senses from the Ice Herrscher, he couldn't help but nod slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

As expected, Anna's situation was no different from what he had anticipated; the girl's most hated object was indeed herself, who had deserted in the face of battle.

Under the influence of Honkai, the newly formed Herrscher Persona will greatly amplify the hatred of the original personality and induce the Herrscher to destroy human civilization while venting hatred.

However, when the Herrscher's most hated object is themselves, this mechanism falls into a self-circulating bug.

Because allowing Anna to vent her hatred will only lead to her self-destruction, which clearly runs counter to the overall goal of destroying human civilization.

All I can say is that the mechanism by which the Will of Honkai chooses its Herrscher is far too idiotic.

The other person only sensed Anna's intense hatred but did not realize that it was actually the girl's self-loathing.

If Anna's condition is allowed to evolve on its own, the result will only be the erosion of the girl's self-awareness, ultimately leaving only the primal driving force of Honkai and destroying civilization within this body.

"The piece has been placed. Now let me see how far you can go, Anna Schariac."

Looking at the faint white light flickering like flames in the Ice Herrscher's deep blue eyes, Shi Hen chuckled and then leaped backward and disappeared.

Elysia's blessing gave the Herrscher of this era the possibility of regaining their humanity, but it was ultimately just a possibility.

Whether or not this possibility can be firmly grasped ultimately depends on the qualities of each Herrscher.

As for Anna... she used the power of Mayura, the Honkai Companion Honkai Beast Herrscher of Knowledge from the Previous Civilization. Shi Hen has done his best to slow down the wear and tear on the girl's consciousness. As for whether she can become another Herrscher of Humanity in the future, that depends on whether Anna can overcome her psychological trauma.

This is a test for Anna herself; no one can make the decision for her.

Even Welt White is the same.

As a villain, [Welt White] only provides the irreversible transformation service from Ice Herrscher to Ice Herrscher Core when necessary.

On the other side, as the white-haired man left and went far away, the icy arms that had bound the Ice Herrscher quickly disintegrated and disappeared, and the girl's expression quickly changed from bewilderment to fear.

After a long while, as if she had finally come to her senses, the Ice Herrscher looked around and then chose to float and fly in the opposite direction from the white-haired man, like a rabbit that had been frightened and was fleeing in panic.

Coral Island, a temporary base.

"According to the latest intelligence, due to the residual Honkai Energy from the Ice Herrscher's transfer, the Honkai Energy erosion symptoms of more than 200 people in six camps have worsened to varying degrees."

However, this situation is still within the variables allowed by the plan, and the new medication has already been distributed. It is expected that the situation will be brought under control soon...

As Peggy delivered her methodical report, Theresa's furrowed brows finally relaxed slightly.

Although the World Serpent's disruption was unexpected, their plans to Anti-Honkai always had some leeway.

Therefore, all things considered, the conditions at the various campsites on Coral Island are perfectly acceptable.

Only...

"Peggy, is there still no news about Shi Hen and the others?"

Looking at the blonde girl on the projection screen, whose face looked noticeably more haggard, Theresa couldn't help but ask.

Kiana and Mei are both Herrscher, so she doesn't need to worry about anything, but the boy is just an ordinary person!

Moreover, the injuries the other party sustained in the Quantum Sea have not fully healed, and they have only been barely holding on due to the Honkai.

"Kiana did not move the Ice Herrscher to the designated location, so Anti-Entropy's military satellites were unable to lock onto them immediately."

I've already had the satellite re-search, and the results should be available within half an hour at the latest.

Peggy shook her head slightly as she explained, her face showing obvious fatigue.

"Lord Theresa, Schicksal will also do its best to help in this matter."

Rita, standing to the side, bowed slightly and added in a respectful tone.

"That would be perfect."

Upon hearing this, Theresa smiled.

Although World Serpent's intentions were unclear, and the fact that the other side only sent Night Owl was quite strange, the unity between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy made things much easier.

The only worry is...

Theresa glanced at the blue-haired girl next to her who was banging on the captured mech, and her heart sank.

She thought that in this Honkai, Schicksal would become a problem as before, but she didn't expect that Anti-Entropy would be the first to cause trouble.

After finally getting rid of Welt White and putting Anti-Entropy back on track, why is this organization still plagued by so many disasters?

With such a serious technology leak, she couldn't even imagine the upheaval that would follow in the Anti-Entropy movement.

After patiently waiting for Peggy to finish summarizing the situation at the various camps on Coral Island, Einstein finally spoke up and asked, "Miss Peggy, do you have any leads on the unfamiliar mech unit mentioned earlier?"

The riots caused by Night Owl were not only about the leakage of mech technology.

The fact that the enemy was able to bring their mechs so close without anyone noticing is enough to prove that Anti-Entropy's command system has also been severely infiltrated.

Even through the screen, you could feel Einstein's questioning gaze. Peggy shook her head and said, "Although I have also discovered that some people have gone missing, we are currently short-staffed and cannot determine their true whereabouts."

That's the truth.

Even though she knew the missing persons might be related to the teenager, Peggy always only knew half the story.

Aside from passively cooperating with the boy, she did absolutely nothing that would harm the interests of Anti-Entropy.

After all, the person hadn't given her the slightest chance to take the initiative.

"Is that so..."

With a calm sigh, Einstein's eyes gleamed with contemplation.

The inability to ascertain the truth about the traitors due to the tense situation is indeed a reasonable explanation. Those traitors who betrayed the organization's interests may have taken advantage of this to escape.

However, this seems too coincidental, as if someone had foreseen it.

It has only been less than thirty-six hours since the Ice Herrscher was born!

The fact that the mole was able to plan and deploy everything in such a short time is enough to show that the infiltration within Anti-Entropy was more serious than she thought.

"Dr. Einstein, what's on your mind?"

Peggy asked softly.

"I have some guesses, but we need to wait for the leader of the alliance to return before we can verify them."

Einstein answered in a calm voice, his eyes flickering slightly as he looked at the golden-haired girl on the screen.

She suspected the mole was from the radical faction.

After all, Cocolia has always been closely associated with [Welt White], and it's hard to guarantee that the other party won't sell Anti-Entropy for personal gain.

However, without solid evidence, her remarks will only exacerbate factional conflicts within Anti-Entropy.

"Yes, I will inform you immediately if there is any news about the Alliance Leader and the others."

Without pressing for further questions, Peggy nodded gently and said...

"I will also have Bronya and the others prepare for the attack."

Einstein said calmly.

Although theoretically, Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder Mei, should not be inferior to the newly born Ice Herrscher.

But who can guarantee that things will definitely develop in the usual way?

Just like the Night Owl that has suddenly appeared, who knows if the World Serpent has any other tricks up its sleeve.

Moreover, since you can gang up on the enemy in a just way, why be foolish enough to fight one-on-one?

Shortly afterward, the battle plan was finalized, and communication between the two sides was quickly severed.

"Einstein, do you suspect the problem lies with the radical faction?"

Noticing the blue-haired girl's unusual behavior during the communication, Theresa couldn't help but ask.

"..."

Without answering immediately, Einstein glanced at the maid beside him.

Even though Anti-Entropy and Schicksal are now in a cooperative relationship, there are still some things that need to be avoided.

"Lord Theresa, I'll go visit the wounded first."

Knowing this, Rita smiled slightly and tactfully took her leave.

Watching the maid leave the room, Einstein slowly spoke, "The radical faction has seen frequent personnel changes in recent years, and there's a high possibility of an internal mole."

"That bastard, Welt White, I knew he wouldn't give up the leader's position so easily!"

Theresa's small face instantly turned red with anger.

"It's too early to say for sure; he may not have done it."

Einstein shook his head.

Even she had to admit that while Welt White wasn't a good person, he was genuinely uninterested in power and such.

If the other party is willing, there are several opportunities to completely integrate Anti-Entropy, so there is no need to resort to underhanded tactics.

Surely no one would actually give up being the legitimate leader of the alliance just to play dirty tricks behind the scenes?

Who would be that bored?

"..."

Upon hearing this, Theresa felt a sudden swelling in her head.

Even though she had forced herself to use her brain more, she felt that she still couldn't keep up with the thinking of people like Einstein.

If Himeko were here...

Thinking of her best friend who might be slacking off, Theresa blinked and said, "I'll go check on Bronya and the others."

Having said that, without daring to look Einstein in the eye, Theresa immediately chose to run away.

Outside the fortifications, the Nun's gaze immediately fell upon the solitary figure of a green-haired girl.

"Wendy? Bronya and the others?"

Theresa asked, puzzled.

"Seele is taking care of the wounded, Bronya is with her."

Wendy explained softly, then added, "Seele seems to think that this accident is all her fault, and she's a bit down."

"Seele ..."
