Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Lingyi, didn't you say that this Kiana wouldn't remember you guys? How come she suddenly knows you...?"

"If I don't recognize this damned swindler, I'll eat this Thor's Hammer right here and now!"

Before Lingyi could offer any explanation to Miss Snow, Kiana, who had been pulled away by the Overlord, preemptively struck—however, judging from the current situation, Lingyi, who was being choked and foaming at the mouth, couldn't offer any explanation...

"So, what exactly did Lingyi Niang do to you...? And what is this 'shady merchant' called?"

Although a bold idea had formed in her mind, Miss Snow, whose idea was somewhat outrageous, still looked at the people involved and prepared to hear their firsthand accounts.

"That face, that hair clip, those heterochromatic eyes—and that familiar voice she had when I grabbed her just now!"

"Even if he were reduced to ashes, I would still recognize him—this guy swindled 64800 yuan from me in Changkong City!! That was all the pocket money I had painstakingly saved up over the years!"

"...64800 yuan? One order is 648 yuan, ten orders are 6480 yuan... Did you take a cut from a hundred orders??"

Miss Snow gave a strange look, looking at Kiana, who seemed to be getting excited again and was about to pinch Ling Yiniang, who had been dragged to her side, with some doubt.

"A hundred orders is one thing—it's all weird stuff! Nine out of ten are indecent! Lace panties, ribbon panties, cotton panties..."

"And bear-patterned panties and lace panties—why doesn't she just sell band-aids?!"

Kiana was recounting Ling Yi Niang's glorious deeds, while Snow and the Overlord were staring strangely at the now-awakened Ling Yi Niang herself, who looked utterly socially dead...

"So... Lingyi ran to a ruined, devastated city to try and sell you panties...?"

Nudging Ling Yi Niang, who had given up thinking, Miss Snow looked at Kiana in disbelief and checked again...

"No, there are also some strange cat statues—silver, gold, diamond, and more..."

"Well, it doesn't seem like a bad deal after all..."

Miss Snow nodded thoughtfully after hearing the explanation.

"What a joke—it's so big and heavy, you can't even take it out!"

"Besides, there was nowhere to sell them after I took them out! I left them all in Changkong City—and I never had a chance to get one back. It's all your fault, you damned profiteer!"

Miss Kiana once again fully displayed her aggression—not verbal, but physical; she broke free from the restraining body that was holding her and straddled Ling Yi Niang's face...

"Your boss is really that unscrupulous... tricking kids out of their allowance. Doesn't she think they'll go home upset if she doesn't get her allowance?"

Realizing that she could no longer control the situation, Miss Snow pulled the entire organization aside and stopped trying to save Miss Lingyi, who was trapped in the "Ora Hell"...

"Um, is the Creator really alright???"

The leader, however, still had some conscience and seemed to want to pull Kiana away again...

"Just ignore her—she's not going to die... So your boss really has such wild methods... setting up a street stall to scam kids or something?"

"I don't know—I don't even know when the Creator ever came to this area..."

The overall body also stated that it was completely unaware of this matter.

"Understood. Illegal operation, operating a gambling den, involving a huge sum of money..."

While Miss Snow was still listing the charges, Kiana and Miss Lingyi, who were locked in a fierce battle, dropped new bombshells—

"I put weapons in the gashapon boxes too—!"

As the victim of the Ora incident, Ms. Lingyi offered her own defense...

"Weapons? You mean those rifled flintlock muskets and the like, artifacts that people in the 16th century would use? Where did you get all this junk?!"

...

"Yes, and there's also arms smuggling and the theft of cultural relics—"

Snow nodded, and under the gaze of the Will-Governing Body, he made another note on the paper...

"I advise you, guest, to quickly pull those two apart... Not all supreme beings in the material universe have the same fighting power as you... Your Excellency is about to be choked unconscious again."

"Oh, this..."

-------------------------------------

"Ahem, anyway, let's not talk about any past grievances between you two—"

"After all, it is perfectly reasonable for the supreme ruler of the world to have the final say in all matters."

To prevent the girl who had finally managed to get down there from being forced back to her old self by Kiana, Snow finally pulled them apart. However, the person hiding behind the blonde girl was now Lingyi...

"Let's start by outlining the demands of both sides—"

Seeing that the two had stopped fighting, Miss Snow nodded.

"Then, first and foremost, the initiator of this matter, Miss Lingyi, the creator of this world—"

"I hope the person in question, now known as Kiana Kaslana, will come back to our side! Stop this indecisive behavior with those individual humans—"

"I refuse—I genuinely want to be friends with Mei and everyone else!!!"

Before Ms. Lingyi could finish speaking, Kiana retorted from the other side.

"Ahem—Quiet! Now let's interview someone offstage, what are Raiden Mei's thoughts..."

"You guys don't have any objections, right?"

"No."

"No—I want to see if that guy has improved at all after so many reincarnations!"

"Then connect the call to Ms. Raiden Mei's side—"

...

“I understand the specifics—Ms. Lingyi, and the Will Controlling Body, right? There’s only one thing we want to express: we are genuinely connected with Kiana... and that’s the only thing we won’t give up on.”

"...Looks like you still haven't figured it out after all these reincarnations—"

Lingyi looked at Raiden Mei, who was supporting Kiana, with a sinister gaze...

"Ms. Lingyi, what are you trying to say?"

"I mean—is it possible, I mean possible, that you fucking broke the law—and that your own human laws have similar provisions?"

"What law?"

Raiden Mei and Kiana tilted their heads, puzzled.

"Law for the Protection of Minors among the Divine Race—shouldn't the human equivalent in this world be called a law for the protection of minors?"

Before Ling Yiniang could answer, Miss Snow, who was standing to the side, gave her answer.

"......???"

"You bunch of human brats, according to our Honkai rules, Kiana isn't even an adult yet!!!"

Chapter 576

You—are the one who came!.jpg

"Although from any perspective... we should declare Miss Lingyi in unconditional victory at this point..."

"However, out of respect for the person involved, let's listen to Ms. Kiana's own requests..."

Miss Snow, her lips twitching, glanced at Miss Kiana Kaslana, who also seemed somewhat caught off guard.

Even if Kiana and Raiden Mei's heads were shoved into the toilet right now, they still couldn't imagine how this creator could come up with such a reason, and judging from his expression and tone—he genuinely thought so.

First, I was told by that being who seemed to be a counterpart of the Nine Heavens that I had been stripped of my human status and was never human in the first place—

Then, upon arriving here, he was told even more unheard-of news by the cunning merchant deity who was probably also his parent—"My child, you're not an adult yet."

"No way—! I'm definitely not an adult yet, and neither are Mei and Jiuxiao, so your reason doesn't hold up!"

Having seemingly found a loophole in Miss Lingyi's words, Miss Kiana immediately began to stubbornly defend herself—

"Thank you, Miss Kiana Kaslana, for the gift. Still being stubborn—"

Miss Snow tapped on the table and gavel that had appeared out of nowhere, signaling for the latter to be quiet for the time being.

"Ahem, the accusations against Raiden Mei and the human civilization of this world are not limited to this era, but also include what you humans call the Zero Era—therefore, in addition to the possible pedophile behavior, you may also face accusations of abducting underage individuals from other races and civilizations."

With a light cough and a stern face, Miss Snow listed out the main accusations that the other side would face.

"What the hell is this about pedophilia and child abduction—and what else...??"

Kiana's eyes twitched as she listened to the blonde girl sitting in the middle, earnestly recounting her accusations. She wanted to see what other nonsense Miss Snow could come up with...

Are you asking about the related allegations?

Snow glanced at Kiana and Raiden Mei, who were still somewhat unwilling to give up, cleared his throat, and continued—

"Arrest, violent resistance to law enforcement, attacks on law enforcement personnel—threats and coercion of world administrators, illegal modification experiments that do not conform to the standards of other civilizations and races... and potential war crimes—"

Despite Kiana Kaslana's "you can do this" expression, the blonde girl calmly stated that human civilization must face accusations.

"Given your potential objections, this court will provide a detailed explanation of the aforementioned charges... starting with the explanation of the ancillary charges."

"I don't think I need to explain much about arrest, violent resistance to law enforcement, and assaulting law enforcement officers—these three charges apply to any act of human civilization attacking the Honkai side."

"Then there's the threatening and coercing of world administrators—planetary-level Honkai Beasts, Herrscher of the Sea. Ms. Janna, do you have any objection to this charge against human civilization?"

Miss Snow's gaze left Kiana, who had never seen such a scene before, and Raiden Mei, who was connected from afar, and looked at the humanoid ray spirit who had just arrived, whether summoned by Kiana or Rei.

"Uh...no...nothing?"

Having guarded the Stigmata Terminal for tens of thousands of years, and even using her own core as a battery, Miss Janna immediately shrank back upon seeing the two world-system wills staring at her.

Based on her own past actions... if she were to say "no" or "no" here, even though it was Kiana's request at the time, compared to the overseer beside her, she might not even get a chance to make things difficult for herself and would be immediately labeled a traitor.

—After all, without the Stigmata Terminal, humanity would have been completely annihilated long ago, and justly executed by their Honkai-side colleagues.

"Jana, you—"

Kiana looked at Janna, who had immediately betrayed her, with a choked expression, while the latter simply responded with an apologetic look...

[I'm sorry, dear Kiana—if it were just that overworked screenwriter on the other side, it would be fine, but the one sitting on the judge's bench is also a screenwriter, so how could I dare to be presumptuous? Of course, Kiana, I still love you!]

"So, as one of the parties involved in this charge and as a victim, Gana has no objection."

"I protest!"

"Protest denied!"
