Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"My teacher's body has been severely damaged by Honkai energy. Could your medicine, which can neutralize Honkai energy, help her?"

The white-haired girl looked at the old man with expectant eyes.

"I understand. After we escape, take me to see your teacher. I'll try my best to heal her." The old man nodded, agreeing to the girl's invitation.

Just as the two were talking, a light blonde girl carrying a dagger walked into their room.

"You—!" Maki was the first to spot the girl in the white robe; the daggers in her hands still bore traces of blood. The old man's heart tightened once more.

"Hey, Nindi, what are you doing here?" Unlike Maki's tense expression, Kiana's face was full of curiosity.

"The First Herrscher's clone has been eliminated. The Tranquility Gem located beneath the Queen Hotel will be activated in a few minutes, and the city will soon be engulfed in a massive Honkai attack."

"Please evacuate immediately, Kiana."

Ningdi, watching the curious girl, relayed Snow's instructions to the white furball in front of her.

"What! The Great Collapse?! No, I have to stop it! Grandpa, do you know the password to the underground warehouse?!"

The girl panicked when she heard that a disaster would break out in a few minutes.

"The password to the underground warehouse?! It's 8088. Child, if you want to do something, go now..." Maki nodded to the girl.

"Okay, I'm coming right now! Ningdi, you're in charge of taking care of Grandpa!" Kiana rushed downstairs.

The blonde girl glanced indifferently at the old man beside her.

"..."

"You're different from that child... You can kill... and it only takes one order... right? Little girl, after you get that child away, how do you plan to deal with me, this traitor to destiny...?"

Maki looked calmly at the Valkyrie before her, her expression composed.

"...If you're going to kill me, please give the last of my Honkai energy serum to that child's teacher; it's what I promised her."

“...Uncle Walter Young wants to see you.” Ninti tilted her head, showing no intention of making a move.

"Who?" The old man looked puzzled.

“The current leader of Anti-Entropy, Walter Yang,” Ningdi thought the old man in front of her might have hearing problems, so she raised her voice and repeated herself.

"You're not the chosen one...?"

“Let me explain, Miss Ningdi,” a brown-haired man emerged from the doorway.

“Then I’ll go assist the master—” Ningdi tilted her head and disappeared from their sight.

"Okay, take care, little girl," Yang waved at the empty doorway and turned to look at the white-haired old man.

"Hello, Dr. Magi, I am Walter Yang, the true and current leader of Anti-Entropy—" The middle-aged man revealed his identity to the old man's incredulous expression.

“Let’s go, I think we still have a lot to talk about,” Yang said, extending his hand to the old man.

"Wait a moment, please allow me to leave a gift for that child; it's something I promised her." The old man took out a vial of medicine and placed it on the table in the room.

……

--

The blonde girl impatiently tore apart all the self-destructing mechs in the road; these troublesome little things did indeed make her feel a bit irritated.

After all, she couldn't just demolish the building.

"Get out of my way, you soulless machine!" Snowdrift kicked the last Poison Spider mech to pieces and strode into the underground warehouse.

—There, a white-haired, golden-eyed girl was looking at him arrogantly.

"Hello, Valkyrie of Destiny... I think I'm going to have a wonderful memory?"

"What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too..."

"Now—kneel down, human/insect under the tree!"

The two spoke simultaneously, proclaiming their arrogance and sublimity.

Chapter 47 I'm More of a Dragon Than You! .jpg

Silence fell over the basement. Kiana's expression twisted, revealing a comical mix of anger, disdain, and mockery.

"What are you saying... Valkyrie? You... want me to kneel?! Hahaha—!" Kiana sneered, turning her head to glance contemptuously at Snow at the warehouse door, her hand tightly clutching the Tranquility Gem to her chest.

"Is there a problem, Kiana... oh no—the consciousness of the Second Herrscher, Ms. Sirin?" The temperature in the basement began to drop rapidly. The underground cabin, which had been stuffy due to the operation of nearby server racks and other equipment, suddenly became cool.

"How do you know that name?!" Cold sweat trickled down Celine's cheeks. She sensed the change in her surroundings and felt a growing sense of unease.

The Herrscher clenched her fists tightly, once again feeling the tangible power and strength emanating from the gems in her hands, and a sense of confidence returned to her.

"Now is not the time for you to wake up... In my grand vision of the future... laughable consciousness—there is no place for you there."

"And now... you have no right to issue orders here—"

My little actor, this is not the time for you to appear. Now...get off the stage—"

The blonde Valkyrie raised her hand again, clenching her fist.

"Hahaha! How dare you ignore my suggestion—"

boom!

The arrogant voice vanished. The white-haired girl, slammed into the wall of the underground warehouse by the Valkyrie's casual strike, slid down the broken wall, and knelt on the ground. The Serenity Gem she had been clutching tightly fell to the ground.

"I told you from the beginning, I'd make you kneel down... you bug."

"—When did you... start to have the illusion that I was joking with you, a remnant of the Second Herrscher's consciousness?"

Step by step, he reached out to the kneeling Kiana, whose golden pupils were fading, her eyes filled with anger and fear, and a trace of resentment.

"I like your eyes—anger, fear, weakness, and resentment—the eyes of the weak."

"—This means that when we meet again, you will still be my most beloved toy in the palm of my hand, whom I can mold and shape as I please... just like playdough in a child's hands."

Snow stared directly into those fading golden eyes... as if trying to make her remember the face of the person before her.

"...You damned insect...die—!"

A trembling roar echoed through the underground warehouse. Her fading golden pupils suddenly focused, and the power she had briefly gained upon contact with the Tranquility Gem coalesced into black mist in her hand, lunging towards the blonde Valkyrie before her.

But in "Cirin's" eyes, what was magnified was the exact same action as before—she raised her hand, clenched her fist, and then flicked out a finger.

The white-haired girl, who had been lunging forward, was sent flying again like a kite with a broken string, crashing into several server racks before finally slamming into the wall and falling to the ground.

"You seem to have misunderstood something...?" The girl's tone was tinged with confusion and bewilderment, which then shifted to anticipation.

"From the very beginning, you were the only 'bug' on the field—"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I really look forward to our next meeting... How will you fly out, Second Herrscher? Don't let me break you too easily..."

[Next time I see you, I'm going to crawl back to my old mother... Are you the Herrscher or am I the Herrscher? You've stolen all my lines!!!]

The Herrscher left behind a final roar of fury before falling back into slumber.

"Phew—no wonder it's the Kaslana family's genes... After taking two hits, you only suffered minor flesh wounds?"

Snow picked up the white fluffy ball that had fallen in the corner.

"...Why has it gotten heavier again? How much did this white-haired thing eat in Singapore???" Snow, feeling the different texture of Kiana in his hand compared to before, pouted, went to the other side of the warehouse, found a burlap sack, and stuffed the white-haired ball of fur inside...

"It's so heavy, let's haul it away..." Whistling, she placed the sack full of white fluffy balls onto the cart, then turned to look at the spot where the Tranquil Gem had been.

A cute little kitten is carrying a jewel in its mouth, ready to dart towards the door—

"Put down that blue gem on your mouth... World Serpent's little kitty!"

boom--!

A second time, but... this time it was a small white, black, and slightly purple kitten.

The kitten whose face had been plastered on the wall loosened its jaw, and the Tranquil Gem fell to the ground. Its entire face wore a "How dare you hit me when I'm so cute?" expression.

"Before I'm about to stew this cat to vent my anger... disappear, understand?!" The blonde girl glared angrily at the treasure-hunting cat that was trying to steal her loot.

"Meow—!" [Where did this monster come from, Destiny! Jackal, you tricked me! RMN, refund my money!] Stan let out a shrill meow, kicking the gem to Snow's side with its paw. The cat stared intently at her as it retreated step by step toward the gate, then vanished from the girl's sight at lightning speed.

...

"...The gentle flapping of a butterfly's wings stirs up a storm on the other side of the ocean—you shouldn't be here at this time...but it's harmless, after all, I am just like your lord—"

Sometimes, no promises are needed... just surrender or destruction.

Snow shook his head as he watched Stan leave through the gate. He picked up the gem again, put it back into the box he'd gotten from Siegfried, sealed it away, and then dialed a special communication channel.

“Mr. Siegfried…the crisis has been resolved. That Herrscher personality did indeed emerge…but I was left with a slight psychological scar from her, and she probably won’t reappear for a long time. If you’re still entangled with Schicksal’s support forces, you can retreat now.”

"Siegfried received—speaking of which, that little girl Durandal is really strong...but she has a great figure too...cough cough cough!!!" Realizing what she had said, the middle-aged Kaslana covered up the embarrassment in the communication channel with a violent cough.

"...Go ahead and flirt if you're not afraid of getting your legs broken," Snow rolled his eyes and casually recorded the conversation.

That's your daughter... When the time comes, resurrect your dear Cecilia, and then play that line you, you old codger, said to her again, let's see if she doesn't break your legs in half. Snow, with a certain pleasure in his heart, pushed the cart containing Kiana's sack away from the underground warehouse.

.....

"This is Snow Apocalypse. Mr. Walter Young, please give me a message to Dr. Magee."

"Please speak."

"Kiana is perfectly safe now. As for the promise that old man made to her, sir, you may have to default on it."

"However, she and her teacher will need it sooner or later to take the serum's development to the next level... Oh, right, the sacred blood of the Shaniat family might be the key."

"Thank you for taking care of that child... I will definitely repay the promise I made to that child, and thank you for reminding me..."

The voice on the other end of the line changed to that of an old man. He took the phone from Yang and expressed his gratitude to the blonde girl he had never met before.

"Well then, have a safe journey, Dr. Magee... Your promise will be fulfilled one day—"

The girl watched as a white trail disappeared into the distance; it was the transport ship carrying the leader of Anti-Entropy and the doctor.

"Kiana, wake up..." The golden-eyed "Kiana" was choking Raiden Mei by the neck, giggling incessantly.

……

"Waaaaaah!" The white fluffy ball of fur woke up with a start from the white hospital bed, panting heavily.
