Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

Chapter 218 Don't even think about reincarnation!

Just as Imotek was preparing to torment—no, torment—the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple once more, Rita finally mustered the courage to intervene—

"Hmm... Lord Imotek, let's leave Lord Jiuxiao for now. We still have important matters to discuss, don't we?"

"Isn't this the important thing? Tell me quickly, you big purple-haired pig, which 'me' do you like the most!"

"..."

With each of Miss Imotek's probing questions, Jiuxiao seemed to have finally filled up an energy bar called courage.

The purple-haired Valkyrie whirled around and scooped the white-haired girl up from the ground—the blackened savior extended his hand towards the girl in his arms, then clenched his fist...

"I want them all! I want you too!"

Then, Lady Horaiji, now blessed with courage, saw Imotek's little wing trembling slightly from its owner's stunned reaction to the sudden attack, and with commendable courage, she directly touched it...

Hmm, it feels pretty good to the touch, a bit fuzzy, but not sticky at all, very smooth, and has a cool feel... but why does it feel like it's getting warmer as I rub it...?

I rubbed the Penglai Temple Nine Heavens a few more times, feeling that it was really nice to hold... and then I realized something was wrong—

"...The magnetic field rotates 99,000 times."

"Holy crap, my wife, let me explain—!"

"Sea Tiger Explosive Fist—!!!"

"Hey! Where did this female pervert come from...?"

Imotek, who had landed back on the ground, looked up at the large human-shaped hole in the ceiling and spat.

"Hmm... Lord Jiuxiao should be alright, right?"

Rita stared at the large hole for a moment, then put it out of her mind—

There's a saying in China: "Evil deeds last a thousand years." I suppose Lord Jiuxiao should still be alive and kicking... Having achieved logical consistency, Rita looked at the white-haired girl in front of her again.

"So... how should Rita address you now?"

“Imotek, if you really want to call me that, then call me that… And this shameful little island, Boom Crow, is one of us in a way—don’t look at her like you’re asking whether you should silence her today… Also, put down the scythe, Rita.”

"As you wish."

Rita retrieved the scythe she had been holding to Ciora's neck in the doorway, intending to shatter it, while Miss Raven, who had been planning to sneak away, once again became the center of attention...

"Um, can I go now...? I suddenly remembered I have something to take care of at home..."

"No—you're one of the most important actors in this performance. At least finish reading the script before you leave, okay?"

"First, will I get beaten up for this script?"

Seemingly terrified of being beaten by Jiu Xiao, Xiora cautiously confirmed the question.

"Yes, but it's just acting—everyone knows their limits~"

"...I feel like your sense of proportion and mine are not on the same standard or something..."

Siola looked at the large hole in the building's ceiling and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

"I'm not going to beat you up... what are you panicking about?"

Imotek glanced at Ciora and curled his lip.

"Instead of thinking so much, let's eat! Come on, let's talk about the future of civilization, the direction of the world, and the fate of mankind while we eat."

--

"So...you were at Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, under Jackal's name, in the VIP room she uses to receive distinguished guests...discussing how to scam that scientist with a screw loose???"

Is this disrespectful?

Jiu Xiao, who had crawled back from outside, looked at the people in front of him and twitched his lips.

"And it only took the time it takes to eat breakfast?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly it… Lord Jiuxiao.”

Rita nodded, then seemed to remember something and added—

"In fact, we only discussed that arrogant jackal lady for less than five minutes."

"The rest of the time is spent discussing topics about you by Lord Imotek."

"My topic...?"

Not long ago, Penglaiji Jiuxiao, who had just delivered a heavy blow, now had his ahoge (cowlick) radar start beeping warnings again.

"That's right... Lord Imotek asked us whether you'd rather kneel on a washboard or use a keyboard..."

"And what was the result?"

Upon hearing that the choice was between a keyboard and a washboard, the purple-haired Valkyrie breathed a sigh of relief—a mere keyboard and washboard? Did they think they could stump me, the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple?

This advantage is on my side!

...However, history has repeatedly proven: never pop the champagne halfway through the game...like right now—

"Well, the conclusion we've reached is..."

Rita deliberately dragged out the sound, hoping that her nominal colleague in front of her would be mentally prepared to some extent.

"So what is it?"

However, the victim didn't seem to realize this... Instead, she looked at the maid impatiently, waiting for an answer.

"Here it is..."

The maid pulled out a pair of sunglasses from behind her back, calmly placed them on her face, and then took out an electronic canvas.

That's it?

The savior immediately showed a disdainful expression.

"No... according to Lord Imotek—"

"This digital canvas contains all of that adorable little Sirin's paintings... and of course, the works of that person herself."

".....Then what."

Jiuxiao quietly approached the VIP room door again. She had already guessed what would happen next, but she was still somewhat unwilling to give up and asked Rita for confirmation.

"You need to kneel down on this canvas... This canvas will detect the force applied to it and adjust accordingly..."

"According to Lord Imotek's settings... if the force applied changes, the canvas will switch from Lord Imotek's initial work and immediately extract a stored image..."

Rita raised her hand and pointed her index finger, earnestly explaining the fate that Miss Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple would face.

"Then let me ask one last question—"

What is the ratio of her works to those of Celine...?

"Hmm, it's probably one to a thousand?"

Rita said somewhat uncertainly.

"Is it still not too late for me to leave behind a farewell poem?"

The purple-haired Valkyrie gripped the doorknob, embarking on her final desperate attempt to escape!

"Don't even think about being reincarnated—!"

Imotek's voice came ominously from the other side of the door.

Chapter 210-9 Our world's snakes are good at producing comedians.jpg

The enjoyable activity of stopping a girlfriend from tormenting her quickly came to an end. Everything briefly concluded with Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao shouting, "I'll always be your fan!" Meanwhile, the plan to stop a crazy, jackal-like woman from tormenting her began to steadily progress—

"Achoo... I've been sneezing a lot lately, do I have a cold...?"

The jackal wearing the dog-headed mask shook his head, temporarily putting his confusion aside, and looked at Siola in front of him...

"The Herrscher of the Void has been increasingly active in this city lately, and the appearance of that giant monster this time forced that person to take action personally, and now it has even attracted the attention of Schicksal... Raven, we need to hurry up and advance the Lord's plan—"

"Hmph, I know without you saying it. I've already met those two S-rank Valkyries from Destiny."

"Oh, how are you feeling?"

The jackal sounded interested.

"None of them are easy to deal with; each one is more troublesome than the last. I almost let them notice something was wrong. Are these Chosen Valkyries monsters?"

Theola continued weaving lies without batting an eye. As a seasoned mercenary, she couldn't fool Rita and Jiuxiao, but deceiving a colleague was a piece of cake.

"What are you afraid of, Raven? Don't forget the little gifts I prepared for those Valkyries of Destiny."

"Besides, the Second Herrscher is also attracting their attention. If they really don't know their place and come to cause trouble for our World Serpent, that gift will be a big surprise for them."

The jackal's tone was full of confidence, as if he had absolute certainty about his gift—

.....

"It is indeed a very outstanding work, Dr. Tesla."

"This Honkai energy-eliminating mist is lethal to low-level Honkai creations, and can even significantly weaken high-level Honkai creations."

Einstein made this assessment while holding a sample sent by an unnamed, white-haired ally.

"Although the potency of the drug cannot be compared with that of the God-Slaying Serum due to its atomization, it is also because of this property that it can be absorbed through the skin and through respiration."

"Hmph, that does fit the symptoms of mild Honkai energy erosion. So, did that riddle lady send over the formula as well?"

Tesla shook the anti-fogging agent and looked at Einstein, who was preparing to conduct further research.

"No, she only sent this one bottle, but we can ask Joyce to make a few more copies for research."

"Alright, that mysterious girl, I don't expect her to just send over the ingredient list."

Tesla grunted a few times and then buried himself in the research.

"Isn't that what science is all about, Dr. Tesla—"

"Explore the unknown, understand the unknown."

......

Unaware that the grand gift package he prepared for the Valkyrie of Destiny had been secretly stuffed into the rival's laboratory for extensive research by his own boss, Jackal was currently sitting in the conference room discussing the location of the next experiment with Raven.
