Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"Okay!" shouted the puppet in the referee's seat.

She first glanced at the grumpy puppet, then shouted to all the puppets:

"Undoubtedly, if we want to survive, we must take the initiative. With this in mind, we must target the Herrscher's power, and Kayno Kaslana will undoubtedly be our imaginary enemy."

The puppet looked around at the puppets around him and said, "But before we can actually attack him, we must first accumulate a certain amount of strength, or at least make him feel a little afraid... Does anyone have any ideas?"

For a moment, the puppets looked at each other, and even the most violent puppet fell silent.

If they had a way to deal with Keno, they wouldn't have been harmed to this extent by the power of just one Herrscher of Knowledge.

"I have a suggestion." Asami Fukami suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of all the dolls.

"The actions of the Fate Bishop not only threaten us, but also put many students at Saint Freya into a coma. That Keno Kaslana doesn't seem to have any intention of bringing them out of their coma, but instead intends to keep them asleep."

"At the same time, the Valkyrie of Destiny, Yulandel, seemed worried that we would suddenly attack the culprit, Otto. So she chose to separate from her brother and return to headquarters with Rita to protect Otto."

Unconcerned with the information, the Cranky Doll loudly demanded, "What the hell are you trying to say?!"

Glancing at the other party, Fukami Asami continued, "Our chance has come."

"The unconscious Valkyries need to be cared for, and the Herrschers in Saint Freya will inevitably be separated. If we seize this opportunity, we can gradually defeat them and seize their authority."

"That's impossible, right?" a puppet said weakly. "The Herrscher of Fire's core is with Kayno, and she can't use her power. The Herrscher of Void has fully awakened to a certain extent, and she could easily escape without fighting us. As for Kayno..."

Fukami Asami burst out laughing.

"Is it because that Herrscher's presence is so weak that you've all forgotten her? Isn't there a Herrscher in Saint Freya who possesses power, is unfamiliar to Kayno Kaslana, and is weak?"

Everyone was stunned, then nodded.

The Herrscher of Thunder, Mei Raiden, they almost forgot about each other... After all, the other party's performance was really not like that of a Herrscher.

only……

"We can indeed defeat her, and we can indeed forcibly seize her power, but what happens after that?" asked a cautious puppet.

"Even if we can wield the Herrscher of Lightning's power better than Mei Raiden, what good will it do? The stalemate will still exist. We still can't defeat Kaino, and we can't take Kiana. This move will only expose us, and Kaino might just come and kill us!"

"Of course he will, this is the second level of the trap!" Asami Fukami said confidently.

"As long as we kidnap Mei Raiden and leave provocative words, given his personality, he will most likely go to the Domination Theater alone. It's true that we can't defeat him, but we can leave Mei Raiden somewhere else and use it to threaten him!"

"Maybe he doesn't care about Mei Raiden's life, but he'll always care about his sister's feelings, right? This alone can temporarily hold him back, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to seize Kiana's power. Her best friend is in our hands, so wouldn't it be easy to seize her power?"

"I see!" a puppet said suddenly realizing, "Then her sister will be in our hands, and we can threaten him even more easily. And now that we've seized two powers, it's not impossible for us to defeat him head-on!"

"No, I think it's still unlikely..." said the sad puppet.

"Whose side are you on?" the grumpy puppet yelled, turning to look at Fukami Asami. "I don't care how many plans you have, but since you want to fight Keno, then include me!"

"Okay," Fukami Asami nodded. "Just beating him is fine, but killing him is fine... I suggest we control Mei Raiden to kill Kiana directly. Kiana, killed by her own friend, will surely be in immense pain. And seeing her sister killed will undoubtedly leave a rift in Kaino's heart, greatly increasing the possibility of him being assimilated by us into a Ruler!"

"Is it really necessary to kill Kiana? Beating her half to death would definitely put a dent in her heart, right?" the weak puppet questioned. "Or maybe we should just let Kiana crash. The chances of controlling Kaynor would definitely be higher, and we could also control another Herrscher of the Void."

"If they can already assimilate Kaynor, what's the point of us still needing the Herrscher of the Sky?" Fukami said coldly. "Besides, I hate her. Is that reason enough?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

The reason they were united in their desire to destroy the world was naturally due to hatred directed at a certain person or phenomenon. Given this, they naturally had no intention of stopping each other from venting their anger.

"Okay, then let's kill the Herrscher of the Sky. It's just like you said, after controlling Keno Kaslana, we don't need to consider other combat forces." A puppet agreed.

"Are we thinking too far ahead?" the sad puppet said dejectedly, "We haven't even obtained the power of the Herrscher of Thunder yet... And what if we don't defeat the Herrscher of Thunder... Hmm."

Being glared at by all the other puppets, the depressed puppet shut his mouth.

Da da.

"All right."

The puppet on the judge's bench banged the gavel twice more. She looked around at the puppets around her, her voice rising in pitch.

"If we can't even defeat the Herrscher of Thunder, then there's no need for us to continue considering revenge against this world. This is a good proposal. When do we begin?"

Her last question was clearly directed at Asami Fukami.

"Of course, now." Fukami raised the corner of her mouth and said confidently, "To be honest, I've been pretending to have sleeping sickness. The people who are still awake in Saint Freya are carrying us away. As soon as I find Raiden Mei alone, I will take action immediately!"

"Well done!" the puppet in the referee's seat exclaimed.

"So who's in favor of this proposal and who's against it?"

No one spoke. All the puppets raised their right hands to show their support for the decision, even the few who had been protesting.

After all, no matter what, Saint Freya's men would be a mountain weighing down their path. If they could get through them, the path to revenge would be smooth and unobstructed. Trying to circumvent them would make it difficult to reach their destination.

"Very good! This time we passed it unanimously!"

The puppet on the referee's bench banged the gavel, raised its right hand high in a cross-shaped gesture, and spoke loudly.

"They clearly possess the power to do so, yet they disregard the disaster that has brought us to this point... Hypocritical and treacherous, those so-called anti-Houkai organizations, those so-called defenders of beauty, are all like this! Since this is the case, we must unleash our revenge on the world!"

The grumpy puppet slammed the table and stood up: "Fight Keno and take away his destiny!"

"Attack Keno and take away the destiny!" All the puppets shouted together.

"Very good!" The puppet in the referee's booth nodded with satisfaction. "Then, let's adjourn!"

One by one, the puppets gradually disappeared from the seats, and the theater gradually became quiet, becoming more and more empty and silent. In the end, only a puppet was left, sitting in the corner, saying nothing except for the last slogan.

"……interesting."

He touched his chin, and his eyes under the black belt looked at the empty theater with interest.

I originally just wanted to come here to find out the situation and find out the true identities of a few dolls, but I didn't expect to see such an interesting scene.

But it was also a good opportunity, as I could see with my own eyes how my partner would deal with all this, and decide whether to be honest or conceal something before the final cooperation.

Of course, if anything unexpected happens, he will still cover it.

Chapter 267: True hunters often...

"Hey, hey, stop looking. If you keep looking at Qi Lingsqi, his eyes will pop out of his head!"

Xier crossed her arms and stared at Kaino with contempt, and spoke with a bad look.

Kainuo, who was squatting and looking at the female student in front of him, was startled. He quickly put away the erosion core in his hand, coughed twice, and stood up as usual.

"Ahem, I was just checking if she had any complications from sleeping sickness... Although the chance is almost zero, it's not completely zero, right?"

Because they speculated that the mastermind behind the sleeping sickness was Otto, the former Bishop of Destiny, everyone discussed it for a while and gave up the idea of ​​asking Kayno to wake everyone up - since Otto's plan would help Theresa secure her position as Bishop of Destiny, then naturally their relatives and friends would cooperate to complete the trick.

Of course, this is also because narcolepsy has no other side effects other than causing people to fall into a deep sleep.

After that, Himeko, as the acting branch chief of the Far East branch, gave orders to several people, asking Bianca and Rita to return to the headquarters first to protect Otto from the attack of the Ruler, while Kaino and others were responsible for gathering all the unconscious students in the library.

The student that Kainuo was staring at just now was the student he moved from the training hall to the gym.

Xier snorted disdainfully, and her voice gradually became sarcastic.

"Don't explain to me. Why do you need to explain to me? I don't need any explanation."

That's not what you just said...

Kainuo curled his lips, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He asked Xier tentatively: "Are you jealous..."

"Are you kidding me? What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense!"

Before Kainuo could finish his sentence, Xier interrupted him with lightning speed. She turned her head to the side, making it impossible to see her facial expression.

But such an obvious performance was enough to prove everything. Kainuo blinked, stared at Xier's profile and grinned slightly.

In just this moment, the other party tensed his neck muscles three times and turned his head to face him.

"Yes, yes, I'm joking. Lady Xier, please spare me for a moment?" Kainuo pretended to beg for mercy and asked for his own defense. "Besides, I was really examining her body just now... Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in the reputation of our Kaslana family!"

"Kaslana's reputation?"

Xier turned her head and looked at Kainuo's expression with suspicion. After finding that he said this seriously, she pointed to a place behind him.

"Is this what you call Kaslana's reputation?"

In another corner of the gymnasium, Kiana, who was also responsible for carrying the unconscious people, relied on her strength to move three or four people in one breath. After putting them down, she rubbed their faces openly and took a photo with them, which made Mei, who was nearby, so murderous that she almost materialized.

Kaino stared at the scene in amazement.

The Kaslana family's reputation is gone.

"Wait, I think I can still be saved. Kiana and I are different!" Kayno said hurriedly, "Bianca and I are true siblings. Logically, our personalities are closer. Kiana can't be used as a reference!"

Bianca's image as an ascetic beauty is so deeply rooted in people's minds that Kainuo feels that there is still hope for her by using her as an example.

"Hmm? You're not going to mention Kaslana's honor at this time? Fine, then, tell me what you found out after staring at her for five minutes?"

Xier continued to ask without hesitation.

Although it was true that Kayno did not touch her directly like Kiana, but after watching the person she liked stare at other girls for five minutes, she would not just kill with her eyes with a smile on her face, letting the murderous aura float around without taking any action.

She had looked up relevant information online and had already bought the cactus and washboard.

Kaino scratched his face, glanced at the girl lying on the ground with some hesitation, and whispered to Xier, "Does Herrscher's Companion Syndrome count?"

Xier, who had originally planned to wait for Kainuo to admit his mistake and then forgive him out of pity, suddenly lost her momentum, tilted her head and stood there in a daze.

"Hersher...compatibility?" She blinked. "You made that up yourself, didn't you? No, you said she's a Herrscher?!"

Yue/-*Yi~shou//reacted belatedly, and Xier's eyes fixed as she immediately believed what Kainuo said. The red and black Eyes of Blood Abyss instantly appeared in her hand, and she waved it towards the Valkyrie lying on the ground without any hesitation.

It's not necessary to kill the opponent, but it is necessary to place the sickle across her neck to prevent her from causing any damage!

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Kainuo was startled and quickly pressed down Xier's sickle to stop her action. He looked back and was relieved when he found that other awake people in the gymnasium did not notice their unusual behavior.

"What are you doing?" Xier pulled the sickle hard, but when she found that she couldn't pull it, she put her hands on her hips and looked up at Kainuo, her face filled with deep displeasure and a hint of grievance.

"I'm helping you eliminate hidden dangers! And you're trying to stop me? Tsk, you really don't know how to appreciate kindness."

"How could that be? I certainly understand your good intentions." Kainuo shrugged and handed the sickle back to Xier.

"Just to avoid alerting the enemy, let's forget about using force."

"...alerting the enemy?" Xier raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Valkyrie on the ground in confusion. "Weren't they all dragged into Xiaoshi's dream? Why are they still frightened?"

"No, her coma was fake," Kaino explained.

"Otto's actions have nearly cornered the Herrscher of the Thousand. She took the risk of pretending to be suffering from sleeping sickness and looking for an opportunity to attack us. Quite courageous, but you can imagine what happened next. I could tell immediately that she wasn't a Valkyrie."

Xier gently kicked the girl on the ground twice. Seeing that she didn't react, she nodded thoughtfully. "So you were trying to control her just now? But in that case, why were you worried about alerting the enemy?"

"Because she's in a meeting." Kaino sighed.

"The Thousand Herrschers are a rather unique entity. They gather through a theater hidden in the cracks of space, exchanging opinions and arriving at a course of action. If I do anything to her here, the other Herrschers over there will immediately realize she's been exposed, and in their rage, there's no telling what they might do."

"Similarly, I can't just run over to the theater and destroy it. Those Herrschers know my identity, and if they simply run away and stop communicating through the theater, it will be difficult to find all the Herrschers."

Xier nodded and asked curiously, "So?"

"So I just had to play along and give them a goal that was possible but not likely to threaten other people's lives."

Having said that, Kayno glanced at the Valkyrie lying on the ground, raised his left hand, and showed Xier the Corrosion Core in his hand.

"With the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion, I used her, an asymptomatic infected person, as a springboard to enter the Domination Theater. Afterwards, I worked with Feiyumaru to do my best to corrode and influence several puppets, influencing public opinion to change their plan to target Mei as the primary target."

"Next, we just need to keep an eye on Mei and prevent her from being dragged into the theater to buy time. We can slowly wait for Feiyumaru to consume most of the theater. At that time, the initiative will fall into our hands."

Just like in Werewolf, when more than half of the wolves are in the game, they can completely control the votes. As long as Scarlet Prison Maru has eroded more than half of the surviving Rulers, the Rulers who need to make decisions through voting will not be able to cause any trouble.

"But is Feiyuwan okay?" Xier asked worriedly.

Kaino had told her wonderful stories about Higashimaru, Yaezakura, and the previous civilization, so she had some understanding of it.

"After all, she's a Herrscher from a previous civilization. What if she sabotages things?"

"I've already discussed it with her. After this mission is completed, I'll ask the World Serpent to send her consciousness to the paradise of the afterlife to accompany her sister." Kainuo said nonchalantly, "Also, the power of erosion is divided into two parts: control and proliferation. I only gave her the control part. As long as I don't proliferate the virus, nothing will happen."

"Alright, I don't know much about the Herrscher of Corrosion anyway, so just figure it out yourself." Seele pursed her lips and sighed, "But according to you, we'll have to stay with Raiden Mei for the next while?"

Kaino shook his head and shook his index finger at Xier.

"No, no, no, Seele. Not staying with Mei, but staying with Kiana."

The two of them were inseparable anyway, so it made no difference who they were around. And compared to Mei, with whom he had a less close relationship, Kaino naturally wanted to be closer to his sister.

After all, Kiana is so cute!

"Brother, you're so annoying!"
