The Innocent Goose Maid Confesses Her True Feelings; the Youngster and Duck Duck Discuss the Truth

"But compared to last time, these Herrscher of Domination have clearly become stronger."

Wendy sheathed her short sword and said with a worried expression.

It wasn't just the growth she gained through her Soul Steel body; the appearance of the last few Domination Puppet even made her feel a sense of threat.

"It's okay, we're not standing still."

Giving Wendy a smile, Shi Hen softly comforted her, "The real battle will begin when Dr. Einstein and the others can figure out another way to enter the Domination Theater."

Under certain circumstances, even without using the power of the Herrscher, humanity in this era possesses the strength to defeat the Herrscher.

Of course, Shi Hen can also guarantee that the Herrscher of Domination has completely transformed into his shape is not among them.

The Herrscher's business should be resolved in the Herrscher's way, shouldn't it?

Looking at the white-haired girl beside him with a sweet smile, Shi Hen couldn't help but smile slightly and returned a gentle expression.

Chapter 179 The Penguin Maid Tells Her True Feelings, and the Young Bronya Discusses Truth

The Bishop's Office on the Schicksal Floating Island.

Sitting behind the side desk in this spacious office, Durandal looked up at the still empty main seat, sighed softly, and then turned her gaze back to the report in front of her.

"Is something troubling Durandal?"

Rita, carrying tea and snacks into the office, smiled and asked upon seeing this scene, her wine-red eyes full of tender concern.

"Rita ..."

Looking at her friend, who was dressed in a maid-style uniform and still maintained an elegant and dignified demeanor, Durandal pursed her lips, sighed softly, and then slowly asked, "Am I really not suitable to be the bishop's assistant?"

As she spoke, Durandal spread out the report, which detailed all the destruction caused by the Herrscher of Domination over the past two months.

Well, it has been more than two months since Anti-Entropy had its first direct contact with the Herrscher of Domination.

During this period, Schicksal suffered greatly at the hands of the Herrscher of Domination.

Thanks to the high mobility of the Domination Theater, coupled with the average strength improved through constant battles (specifically referring to the battles of wits and courage against a former Bishop), the current Herrscher of Domination can easily defeat elite squads led by A-rank Valkyrie, except for those who cannot compete with S-rank Valkyrie level enemies.

Even Rita, a top- A-rank Valkyrie, could only manage a draw against several of the Domination Puppet.

In this sudden change, although Schicksal eliminated several hundred Herrscher of Domination, it also paid a heavy price.

In the most brutal battle, the seven branches of Schicksal... no, now that the Far East Branch has separated, there should be six branches. One of them, the African Branch, was completely destroyed by the Herrscher of Domination, and the branch leader also died heroically in that battle.

Although most of the Valkyrie only suffered injuries of varying degrees and were not truly in mortal danger, the battle still dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Schicksal Valkyrie forces.

Even though Durandal arrived later and decisively defeated all the attacking Herrscher of Domination, she was unable to truly reverse the tide of the war.

After this battle, the Herrscher of Domination have proven with their strength that they possess power no less than any other Herrscher and are capable of inflicting devastating damage on human civilization within a certain range.

Even though such victories came at the cost of huge casualties.

However, compared to the fearless Herrscher of Domination, humans are clearly more prone to fear.

Thinking of the discouraging comments that had been circulating among the Valkyrie troops during this time, Durandal's mood also became gloomy.

She realized once again that being the leader of a large organization is completely different from being the strongest Valkyrie.

At the very least, she is not yet able to handle all the various affairs within the organization in a comprehensive manner.

Even though her strength is only below that of Welt White and Kevin, and even the World Serpent Squad planted by Schicksal treats her with great respect, she still cannot solve all the problems facing the Schicksal Church.

"No, in my opinion, Durandal has already done a very good job."

Seeing the golden-haired Valkyrie's inner turmoil, Rita smiled and gently placed her slender hand on the girl's slim yet healthy and rounded shoulder. "Without Durandal's various measures, the Valkyrie troops might have suffered even higher casualties."

Faced with the Herrscher of Herrscher of Domination's offensive, Durandal did not remain idle; various defensive policies significantly reduced the casualties of the Valkyrie forces.

This was undoubtedly a very important achievement. However, in the eyes of the strongest Valkyrie, who was used to victory, these policies were nothing more than a means of escapism.

"But, if it's white..."

Her gaze fell upon the empty head seat of the office, and a hint of emotion appeared on Durandal's face.

Faced with immense pressure from the Herrscher of Domination, she couldn't help but place her hopes on someone she should never have trusted.

After all, when it comes to matters related to the Herrscher, the other party is indeed quite reliable.

Even much of the important information about the Herrscher of Domination was obtained by her from [Welt White].

As soon as the words of weakness left her lips, Durandal couldn't help but shake her head slightly, a helpless smile on her face, "Never mind, I shouldn't have relied on this guy in the first place."

As she spoke, Durandal turned her gaze to Rita: "Any news from Anti-Entropy? How's the research on the Domination Theater going?"

While employing defensive strategies to counter the Herrscher of Domination, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy have never given up on finding a way to truly defeat the Herrscher of Domination.

The most feasible option is to use technological means to open a path to the Domination Theater and directly destroy the Herrscher of Domination's headquarters.

In this way, even if the Herrscher of Domination are not completely destroyed, their mobility will at least be greatly reduced.

To this end, she not only transferred most of the Herrscher of Domination Core captured by Schicksal to Anti-Entropy, but also provided strong support and assistance in terms of talent.

It can be said that although the threat posed by the Herrscher of Domination is far greater than that of the other Herrscher, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy have also achieved an unprecedented cooperation, bringing humanity, which was originally in a state of division, back together.

"..."

Noticing the expectation in the golden-haired Valkyrie as she looked toward the head of the office, Rita felt a pang of pain in her heart, but still smiled and replied, "It seems like things are going well on the Anti-Entropy side."

According to the information previously sent by the leader of the Shi Hen Alliance, they will attempt to connect to the Domination Theater today.

If all goes well, the final battle against the Herrscher of Domination can begin within three days. Hopefully, we can prepare in time.

"Really? That's quite news!"

Upon hearing this, Durandal's face immediately broke into a smile.

"Yes. From the perspective of allies, Anti-Entropy is indeed an excellent candidate, and Alliance Leader Shi Hen is also a remarkable person."

Sighing softly, Rita couldn't help but feel a little emotional in her heart.

When she first met Shi Hen and the others, even she didn't expect that they would have come this far.

If it weren't for villains like Welt White, the young man who became the Third Generation Leader of Anti-Entropy would have been a much better fit for Durandal...

Thinking of this, Rita instantly became alert and quickly shook her head to dismiss the thought.

If it weren't for Welt White, Durandal would have belonged to her alone; how could anyone else have the chance to benefit from her?

So, she was still provoked by [Welt White], that she actually had such thoughts in her mind?

I should probably revisit Durandal's photo collection a few more times.

Rita thought to herself.

"Yes, Shi Hen, he..."

Just as Durandal suddenly thought of Mei, who had been using the World Serpent's information channels to hunt down the Mei of Herrscher of Domination, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy. "I hope he and Kiana can have a good ending."

Although she didn't quite understand this incredibly complex multi-person relationship, since Mei and Kiana had no objections, she was naturally willing to offer her blessings.

This is the composure of the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal.

"It will definitely happen, Durandal."

With a light laugh, Rita's fingers naturally began to massage the golden-haired Valkyrie's shoulders, relieving the fatigue that had accumulated on the other's body.

For the boy and Kiana to have a happy ending, a very important prerequisite is to defeat [Welt White].

If she could achieve that, she would naturally be able to be with Durandal.

As she pondered this, feeling the soft touch on her fingertips and smelling the warm, sweet fragrance emanating from the golden-haired Valkyrie, Rita's resolve grew stronger.

On the other hand, while the Liyou Group was outwardly united but inwardly divided, Shi Hen was also fulfilling his duties as the Third Generation Leader of the alliance, striving to maintain the stability and peace of the Anti-Entropy Herrscher group.

Bronya?

Looking at the Bronya that suddenly grabbed him, Shi Hen's face showed just the right amount of confusion.

"Bronya ... has something very important to tell Captain Hen."

Bronya tilted her head slightly to meet the boy's questioning gaze and spoke earnestly.

"Does it have to be now?"

Looking at the white-haired girl beside him, which also looked bewildered, Shi Hen asked softly.

According to the itinerary, he and Kiana were on their way to observe Einstein's Domination Theater Connection Experiment, in case any unforeseen accidents occurred during the experiment.

"Yes, it has to be now."

If it's too late, it will be too late.

Nodding as if to confirm, Bronya then looked at the white-haired girl beside her, "Kiana, Bronya would like to borrow Captain Hen for a while, but will return him to you soon."

"OK!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Kiana immediately nodded in agreement, a bright smile spreading across her face. "Then I'll go wait for you in Dr. Einstein's lab, Hen."

With that, Kiana waved gently to the boy, then turned and walked toward the research area, as if she hadn't considered what might happen between Bronya and the boy at all.

Kiana has always been very magnanimous towards people she's certain aren't on her threat list.

Even if the Bronya and the boy were to actually end up in the same bed in the future, the girl would still believe that they were rehearsing music.

Watching the white-haired girl disappear into the distance, Shi Hen could only sigh helplessly. He then led the Bronya to a corner of the courtyard, his expression slightly serious, and asked, "Bronya, is there something you want to discuss with me?"

He spoke softly, Shi Hen gaze towards the little girl in front of him full of tolerance.

Despite being betrayed by Wendy and many others, he still trusted Bronya very much.

After all, the other party is now a genuine saint.

After glancing at the girl's flat chest, Shi Hen felt much more at ease.

"..."

Noticing the boy's gaze, Bronya immediately clenched her fists, wishing she could use her Herrscher Authority to reconstruct her body right now and show him what she was capable of.

But remembering her deepest worries, Bronya forced herself to suppress the impulse and said, "Captain Hen, this..."

As she spoke, Bronya raised her hand, and a deep blue, prismatic crystal slowly emerged from the girl's fair palm.

"The core of the Herrscher of Reason?"

Seeing this, Shi Hen couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

"Bronya believes that Captain Hen is more deserving of it Bronya."

Looking directly into the boy's eyes, Bronya spoke slowly and deliberately, with utmost seriousness.

While the Herrscher of Reason's power is indeed formidable, and she has gained Welt's approval in the Quantum Sea, the young girl has never forgotten that there is someone far more suitable to become the Herrscher of Reason than herself.

In the past, because the boy's body had never fully recovered, the transfer of the Herrscher of Reason's power had never taken place.

Now that the boy's body is gradually recovering and the final battle with the Herrscher of Domination is about to begin, it is undoubtedly the best time to carry out this matter.

"... Is this really Bronya's own idea?"

Looking at the core Shi Hen asked with a serious expression, his sword-like eyebrows furrowing, revealing a faint air of the Third Generation's authority.

Despite having performed well in Bronya role Herrscher of Reason.

However, in the eyes of Einstein and others, the other party was never the true successor of the Herrscher of Reason.

Putting aside the girl's Cocolia background, his very existence as the rightful successor of Welt already secures his position Herrscher of Reason.

As for Bronya, it was more of a stopgap measure.

That's what Bronya really thinks.

Understanding the unspoken meaning in the boy's words, Bronya gently shook her head, her seriousness undiminished.

In the early days of her becoming the Herrscher of Reason, Einstein did express such views, but the doctor was never an unreasonable person.

After she gradually demonstrated her talent as a Herrscher of Reason, Einstein rarely made such remarks anymore.

The reason she chose to return the Herrscher of Reason Core is that she herself lacks the confidence to become an excellent Herrscher of Reason.

When facing the Herrscher of Domination, as one of Anti-Entropy's main combat forces, she became the object of protection for the boy and others, and never appeared on the front line of the fight against the Herrscher of Domination.

Even in her daily training, she has not been able to demonstrate the same strength as Welt Yang, and so far she has not been able to truly construct the Star of Eden.

How could someone like her become an outstanding Herrscher of Reason and bear the honor that this power represents?
