Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Emmmm...it's because of that unconscious Valkyrie on me...I remember her name is Bronya, right!"

"You're going to get her onto that airship outside, right? Right? I'll help you get on the ship, and you'll play with me, okay?"

Before Ningdi could refuse, Wendy flashed and pressed herself against Ningdi's face. A blue wind lifted the two girls up and roared towards the distant warship, leaving only Ningdi's screams in the air—

"Mother Gan Lin!"

The remaining ME staff members exchanged bewildered glances until Cocolia's voice brought them back to their senses—

"What are you doing! The warships of Destiny have come to our doorstep, why aren't you activating the Heavenly Father's power yet!"

"Uh, but Lady Cocolia, that mecha isn't finished yet, is it?"

"Only the legs are incomplete; the upper body equipped with weapons is finished! Activate it now! Do you want Destiny to dismantle the ME?!"

"Ah, yes, Lady Cocolia."

The group hurriedly headed towards the direction of the Heavenly Father.

...

--

Before the Nibelungen's radar could even register what was happening, the bluish figure pounced onto the warship's deck, carrying an unconscious Bronya and a pale-faced Ninti, ready to find a place to vomit...

"Theresa! I'm here to negotiate!"

Overjoyed, Wendy, caught up in her playful spirit, shouted towards the bridge, using a line from a movie she had just watched.

...Silence, an awkward silence so profound it was as if one could hear the cawing of crows.

"Ahem—what terms do you want to discuss?"

Theresa, who had just been drinking water on the bridge, choked on Wendy's shout and had only just recovered when she turned on the ship's public address system and called out to Wendy.

"I've brought your Bronya back, and you can pick it up now! In exchange, I want unlimited ice cream and movies—!"

"And another thing! I want her to play with me!"

Wendy pointed gleefully at Ninty, who was struggling with motion sickness and dragging Bronya away—Ninty's expression, once again being called upon, was more of a kaleidoscope of emotions than a kaleidoscope of colors.

The blonde girl decisively followed her heart's desire, gave Wendy the middle finger, and then vomited on one side of the deck.

"...Okay, we agree!"

After a moment's thought, Theresa decisively sold Ninti. After apologizing to Ninti in her heart, the headmaster made the request of the Far East Branch to Wendy.

"But you must report to St. Freya Academy and return to the academy dormitory at St. Freya every night. You are not allowed to stay out all night and cause trouble for others!"

"Emmmm...Okay!"

Wendy lowered her head, thought quickly for a moment, and then readily agreed.

"There's one more thing—you should have two personalities, right? What happened to your other, original personality?"

Theresa asked the question that the members of the Far East branch were most concerned about.

"Going 'home' tonight... well, that's not a problem, I agree."

Happy Wendy nodded in agreement to the condition.

"As for the other me...Emmmm..."

"What's wrong with her?!"

The people on the bridge became somewhat tense...

"Uh... in your words, is she infatuated? No, that's not quite right... anyway, she's currently chanting the name of the white-haired Valkyrie Kiana and has handed over control of her body to me—why don't you guys ask her if that Miss Kiana is interested in being a scumbag or a player?"

Wendy scratched her head, then flew directly to the observation window outside the bridge, waving at the people inside, seemingly trying to find a certain white-haired knight who had flirted with a girl and run away—quickly, Wendy found her target. She waved excitedly at Kiana, who, having been specifically named as the one who flirted and ran away, awkwardly waved back at Wendy outside the window...

"Ah... this is someone who's trying to steal Kiana's woman from me! I have to take them down! I was the first one here—!"

Bella, who had been offline for a long time, suddenly reappeared, popping out from behind Kiana, glaring at Wendy outside the window, and regarding her as her rival.

"Bella, calm down..."

Kiana, who knew the origin of the little doll, wiped away imaginary cold sweat and glanced furtively at Mei beside her—hmm, good, Mei didn't react, at least not for now....

“Let’s bring Nindy and Bronya back first... One of them has passed out, and the other seems to be experiencing motion sickness after Wendy sped here.”

Kiana subtly changed the subject, pointing out the predicament of the two girls on deck, and Simon Riley, reminded of this, suddenly realized what was happening—

"Quickly bring Bronya back and send her to the intensive care unit of the medical department. She was just controlled by Cocolia and fought with Ninti. If nothing unexpected happens, Ninti should have used the directional EMP pulse on the Valkyrie armor to burn out the control chip."

"I've heard Boss Snow mention that chip—it's placed near the brain!"

Reminded by Simone Riley, Theresa and her group realized what was happening and hurriedly ran down from the bridge to bring Bronya and Ninti back.

Not long after Theresa and the others went down, the radar officer reported to Simon that someone had suffered cardiac arrest.

"Commander Simon! ME Corporation has been detected with a high-intensity Honkai energy reaction. Based on the wave characteristics, it seems that members of Anti-Entropy have activated the Gem of Desire!"

"...Damn it!"

Chapter 130 You've Been Arrested.jpg

"The warship is beginning to turn, preparing to adjust its main guns and aim at the ME Corporation building—hey, hey, hey, can you hear me, you lazy bum sunbathing on the observation window... ugh, Miss Wendy."

Simon darted to the very front of the bridge in a few quick strides, knocked on the observation window, and called Wendy, who was resting against it, over.

"Oh? What's up now?"

Wendy turned her head to look at Simone Riley behind the glass.

"A high-intensity Honkai energy reaction has occurred at ME Corporation. Wendy, did you see anything unusual in the ME building you were in before?"

"The thing...? There's only one huge workshop in that building... and inside there's a giant robot without legs. The style is similar to the Titans I dismantled before, but it's much taller, probably four or five stories high?"

"That thing was clearly unfinished; it doesn't even have legs, so it's nothing to worry about—what a waste that they put my gem in that thing."

Wendy waved her hand dismissively, indicating that these were minor issues.

"Miss Wendy, have you ever heard this saying?"

"What are you saying?"

"Uh... the legs are just for decoration...???"

Simone Riley looked at the large robot, which had no legs but used its mechanical arms to move like a monster, scaling buildings like a monster, with a look of utter disbelief.

"No way, what kind of garbage code did the Anti-Entropy programmers write? Does anyone walk like that??? Main gun crew! Blow off that weirdo's hand! Leave the rest to Commander Skuld, the commander of the first squad... I have a long-term personal mission to undertake, and it's urgent—"

Simone Riley gave a strange smile, turned around, and left the bridge.

"That's weird... Did they connect the wires or something wrong?"

Wendy also curiously turned her head to take a look at the "swiftly moving" Skyfather mech on the ground, while Nindy, who had handed Bronya over to everyone on the deck and swallowed a few motion sickness pills, stood at the edge of the deck, looking at her own "masterpiece" and then suspiciously looking at her hands.

"...You can achieve this effect by changing just a few wires?"

Ningdi fell into deep thought, seemingly awakening some strange interest...

...

Achoo—!

"Hiss—I have a feeling one of the kids in the family is going astray..."

"Whatever, they'll go astray sooner or later anyway."

Snow shook his head irresponsibly, wanting to continue operating a certain prop in his hands.

On an anti-entropy stealth transport ship a few dozen kilometers away from New Changkong City, Cocolia is staring at a green-haired doctor.

"Dr. Iserly Leviathan...can you explain this?"

Cocolia looked at the "Doctor" beside her, whose lips were twitching, and waited for her answer.

Is this reasonable???

Cocolia pointed to the Abnormal Skyfather in the surveillance footage.

"You want me to explain? I can't explain it, Cocolia—do you think this is something a human being would do...?"

"...Logically speaking, even a carbon-based life form couldn't have come up with such a feat; so it really wasn't done by someone from your research department?"

"Can I take that as you calling me inhuman, Miss Cocolia?"

The short, green-haired doctor was furious when he heard someone questioning his skills, and glared back without any politeness.

"Okay—I apologize, Doctor... So what exactly happened to the Skyfather Mech... Doctor, can you guess the gist of it?"

"Didn't you say that ME Corporation was infiltrated by the Valkyries of Destiny and tampered with? This mech can't possibly be sentient, and it's probably been tampered with in a very crude way. There are even parts, screws, and armor plates missing along the way. It's obvious that someone deliberately loosened the screws. As for its behavior, she probably tampered with the signal lines in a very crude way, connecting the lines that were originally used to calculate leg movements and balance to the arms or something like that."

The green-haired doctor curled his lip, casually glanced at the Abnormal Father on the screen, and saw the problem.

"Also, why are you the one who came to meet me this time? Where's Xing?"

"Xing? Your dear daughter blew up my lab, and was caught red-handed by the Alliance Leader and Dr. Tesla. She's been ordered to restore the lab within a day..."

Dr. Seaweed Head's words revealed only numbness, as if he had long been accustomed to the behavior of a certain "old man".

"Uh...sorry, Doctor..."

"You don't need to apologize to me... Ms. Cocolia... Hmm, you seem to have missed the point—Anne was caught by the Alliance Leader..."

Iselin turned to look at Cocolia, who seemed to have thought of something and was sweating profusely, and said, word by word—

"The important thing is that the Alliance Leader is back—we're not heading back to your old base in Siberia... we're heading back to the North American headquarters."

"Iserline, for the sake of us all being enforcers..."

"I'll let you off the hook this time, find a place to park your plane and let you leave, right?"

"If I say no, you're going to point a gun at me, right?"

Iselin looked at Cocolia, who had already placed her hand on the holster at her waist, ready to take her, who looked frail and weak, hostage.

"Give up, Lord Cocolia—the Alliance Leader is on this plane..."

Sharp mechanical wings floated out from behind Iserline, and a semi-transparent shield enveloped the green-haired girl.
