Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

Out of concern for his junior and a sense of responsibility as an elder, Kevin reached out his ruthless iron hand, grabbed his junior by the collar, and tried to drag her away from the pond.

"Huh? I'm an adult now! And it's not like I haven't seen kissing before! I've even kissed someone!"

The girl, whose fate had been sealed, continued to crane her neck to look at the scene in the pond, while Kevin Kaslana, who had heard the blonde girl's words and grasped a key piece of information, became alert.

"They've already kissed? With whose little brat???"

Snow chuckled at the somewhat exasperated ancestor Kaslana before him, and continued to tease her quirks—

"Not only have they kissed, but they even have a child! And the child is already so big!"

The blonde girl decided to make a shocking statement and pulled out a photo of Ningdi.

Kevin stared at the girl in the photo, who looked at least 13 years old, and fell silent.

At the World Serpent Headquarters, the Gray Serpent, deep within the palace, seemed to hear some kind of sound—

"Your Excellency? Is that you?"

"Grey Serpent... retrieve the Heavenly Fire Judgment. Remember, do not harm anyone else during the search—"

"Your will."

The gray snake spoke like a devout believer, but what struck him as odd was the air of exasperation in the Lord's voice.

Shaking his head to dismiss the thought, Gray Snake began to carry out Kevin's orders.

...

"Huh? Ancestor Kevin, why are you suddenly silent..."

Snow sensed something was wrong.

“I’ve changed my mind—I’m going to take Skyfire to discuss the issues of family education in Kaslana with your father—”

"And...who is that little brat? I'm going to break his legs."

Kevin seemed to be in a state of rage.

"Uh...it was just a kiss, really just a kiss."

The blonde girl trembled slightly. Facing Kevin, who exuded the authority of an elder, she decisively chose to back down.

"Really? What about the child?"

Kevin held the photo of Ningdi, his tone tinged with suspicion.

"That's an adopted daughter, the kind you get through adoption. She's already 15 years old, and I just turned 18 this year—"

"it is good...."

Kevin nodded, realizing the age difference between them and accepting the answer.

"So who is that little brat?"

But acceptance sometimes doesn't mean letting go.

"Uh..."

Snow seemed somewhat hesitant.

"Let me guess... It's not a man, it's a woman, right?"

Kevin rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

"That's right... Ancestor, how did you know?"

"Hmph... I know my little rascals perfectly well. Every single one of them, male or female, is a natural magnet for women."

"This is all thanks to your good genes, your good genes..."

Snow wiped away his cold sweat, while Kevin, upon hearing this, simply rolled his eyes.

Ah... elders are so hard to fool... we can't really fight each other, can we... that would be too Spartan.

The blonde girl grumbled inwardly as she turned her gaze back to the pond.

...

Einstein kissed Joyce, the "Sleeping Beauty," for a long time before their lips finally parted. The Doctor of Reversal of Entropy quietly looked at Joyce before him and began to speak to himself—

"I've waited for you for a very, very long time. In the beginning, I still held onto a sliver of hope that, as the Herrscher of Reason, you might one day rebuild your body, stand before everyone, and say to us, 'I'm back.'"

"Until time gradually passed, we realized that you could not come back... Everyone suddenly grew up one day, and everyone became more mature and rational—because everyone knew that the companions and days of the past could not be returned.... The Anti-Entropy was initially established, to commemorate you, and to rebel against that destiny."

"And you can only live forever in our hearts. Those new enforcers of anti-entropy don't even know about the existence of the original leader of anti-entropy—some of them have even deviated from the original intention of anti-entropy..."

The blue-haired doctor recounted to the peacefully sleeping Joyce everything that had happened during his absence—anti-entropy, Tesla, and Joachim...

The blue-haired girl, having finished her story, looked at the sleeping young man before her. As if having made up her mind, she gently parted her lips and brought them close to Joyce's ear—

"I love you, Joyce—"

The sound was soft, but that was enough.

"Me too, Aiyin..." A voice, both strange and familiar, rang out.

The indigo-haired man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Einstein, who was pressed against him.

"I'm back--"

Chapter 137 It was Wendy who did it, it was all Wendy's doing.jpg

The Fourth Honkai Impact ended, except for a small town in New Zealand with a population of less than ten thousand that was wiped off the face of the earth. When the final casualty statistics were delivered to the desks of the heads of the Schicksal headquarters and various branches, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the casualties of hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of people, the loss of these few thousand people is enough to make people accept it—people's hearts have long been numb, and in the end, all that remains of the casualty data are numbers.

Pessimists continue to proclaim that hope is dead, that all humanity has done is in vain, and that this latest act is merely an occasional act of mercy from a supreme deity. They are no longer fighting for the continuation of civilization and its future, but simply for the right to continue fighting, and sooner or later, they will lose even that right.

Optimists rejoiced, believing that the dawn of victory had arrived, that history would mark a turning point here, and that the hope of fighting against, and even defeating, the Honkai was within reach. The Herrscher born this time didn't even show much hostility towards humanity—meaning that the gods had gradually acknowledged humanity's struggle and sacrifices.

The head of the Far East branch, Theresa Apocalypse, is clearly not among these two—

Pessimistic or optimistic, you.jpg

Dean Theresa is currently facing two major headaches—the first being the coma of Bronya. During the previous battle, while Ninti's directional electromagnetic pulse destroyed Bronya's bio-control chip, freeing her from control, it also severely damaged her nerves. She remains in a coma in St. Freya's intensive care unit.

And another problem...

Wuhu!

A cheerful sound came from outside the window, accompanied by the howling wind, which made Theresa's office windows creak.

“Wendy and Wuni…” Theresa rubbed her temples to relieve the headache from working late into the night.

"We need to prepare a big house for Wendy... Wait, does she really need this...?"

Theresa walked to the window and scratched her head as she watched Wendy, who was holding a kitten, fly away into the distance. Meanwhile, Nindy, who was chasing after her, pouted angrily and tried to snatch her kitten back. The two chased each other in the sky.

"Never mind, the new budget from headquarters has already been issued... Kiana has become much more sensible lately, saving me a lot of maintenance costs... Anyway, let's just ask Wendy directly now."

Theresa pulled out a communicator from her person and dialed a few channels labeled as "Happy Wind Girl".

"Hey, Wendy, what kind of house do you want, the kind you'd like to live in..."

【I want to live with Ningdi! That's all I'm saying!】

The wind was strong on the other end of the communication line, but Theresa could still hear the joy in the girl's voice.

"...Youth is wonderful. Ugh, what am I saying?"

"As for Wuni, she seems to be getting along quite well with Kiana after waking up. Let's put her on the same floor as Kiana... She's easy to deal with."

The dean shook his head and shifted his attention back to the first matter—

"Sigh... Bronya, none of these students are any peace of mind... Kiana has become much more sensible lately, but you've caused trouble again... Who should we replace next time? Raiden Mei, perhaps..."

"I can't possibly fight with Kiana and then run away from home... Hmm... That's just impossible."

Theresa thought for a moment and then shook her head decisively at Mei, the most obedient member of the trio.

"Never mind, let's go ask the doctors in the medical department about Bronya's condition first..."

The dean made up his mind, left his office, and flew towards the medical department on his Judah-brand hoverboard.

...

--

Ningdi felt that everything was going wrong for her lately.

What should have been a peaceful morning of petting the cat would suddenly be interrupted by Wendy bursting in, snatching the cat from his arms with a gleeful expression, shoving an ice cream into his hand, and then yelling and screaming as she rubbed the cat out the window. He would have no choice but to chase after her to prevent the kittens from falling victim to some green-haired monster.

And this green guy always seems to do it on purpose, hanging himself behind at a leisurely pace.

In the afternoon, Wendy's main personality would come huffing and puffing to find her, looking embarrassed as she hugged the trembling kitten that had been kidnapped that morning and kept apologizing. And it seemed that this wasn't an isolated incident...

Every Valkyrie in St. Freya seems to have encountered similar situations, being tricked by Wendy who suddenly appears while they are doing things, including but not limited to having their tools stolen, their pets "borrowed" and so much so that if a student forgets to bring their homework, the excuse they make is that Wendy took it away.

Moreover, the scapegoating tactics of "Wendy stole it" and "Wendy did it!" gradually became popular at St. Freya Academy. The girl who was whistling through the sky was suddenly and inexplicably blamed for a lot of things—of course, she had done most of them herself and didn't care.

Thinking back to a few days ago when she was so engrossed in petting cats that she forgot to do her homework and Himeko came to her door, the blonde girl suddenly found the Herrscher she was chasing in front of her much more agreeable.

"Anyway, it was all Wendy's doing."

The mischievous Ningdi nodded and activated the Valkyrie Armor's thrust system, creating a sonic boom that shattered the windows of many nearby school buildings and office buildings.

Meanwhile, the Valkyrie in the classroom and the Destiny staff in the office building glanced at the broken glass without changing their expressions, and continued to work with their heads down.

"Uh, seniors, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

A new employee who had just started working in the office building looked at the unfazed crowd with a head full of question marks.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

The female warrior in a clerical position looked completely bewildered when asked the question.

"Senior...the academy has been attacked, hasn't it? All the glass is shattered!!"

"Huh? Oh, never mind that. You know the Fourth Herrscher, right? The one who hands out ice cream at Schicksal branches all over the world..."

"Uh... I've heard about it, what's wrong?"

"That makes things easier—anyway, as a newcomer, you only need to know one thing."

"If something suddenly happens in this academy that you can't understand, something completely illogical—that's all Wendy's doing. Just ignore it. Go sweep up the broken glass and report the maintenance fee to the finance department."
