Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"These two guys..." Kiana shook her head slightly. "But I didn't expect... Mei, who just became a Herrscher, is so strong."

Originally, Kiana thought that without the [Conqueror Gem] in her body, Mei Raiden would not be very strong in the short time since she became a Herrscher.

Just like before Sirin entered the huge 'cocoon', although she was a Herrscher, the Honkai energy in her body was not strong, and even her Herrscher core was not condensed. Compared to a Herrscher, this state was more like a Herrscher's body.

Even though Mei Raiden, who does not have the [Conqueror Gem], became a Herrscher during the [Third Sequence Great Collapse], she should have gone through such a stage.

But the truth was completely beyond Kiana's expectations. Not only did Mei Raiden not experience the period of 'bare body', she even possessed the strength comparable to that of an S-class Valkyrie.

"The last sword skill Mei used was...'Heart Slash', right?" He recalled the sword skill she saw just before he transferred everyone.

That is one of the sword skills that Raiden Mei is good at, a sword skill that allows one to slash out six swords in an instant.

Because it requires extreme speed and strength, it is not a "human" sword technique at all.

Unexpectedly, after becoming the Herrscher, Mei Raiden was able to master and exert her surging power in such a short time, which was beyond Kiana's expectations.

"And that posture." Although she didn't want to admit it, the power that Raiden Mei now possessed was completely different from what Kiana remembered.

Kiana had indeed seen the posture of the five lightning wings, and she had also seen [Realm of Heavenly Strike: Judgment].

But those are two completely different postures belonging to the two periods when Mei Raiden was a Herrscher. The former is the posture Mei Raiden showed when she was in Changkong City.

The latter is the weapon that Raiden Mei possesses after she completes her metamorphosis and becomes a true Herrscher of Thunder.

"Forget it, let's worry about this later..." Kiana looked back at the people lined up neatly in front of her. "Let's start the cleanup work first."

Emerald light bloomed in Kiana's palm, and the [Power of Creation] gradually gathered and transformed into a huge emerald "sun" hanging in the "sky" of [Eternal Tribulation: Infinite Corridor].

It emits emerald light that falls on people.

"Really..." Kiana pressed her forehead. The loss of mental power brought by the overclocking power made Kiana feel dizzy. "Fortunately, I had a good sleep yesterday... It's really more tiring than working overtime for five months in a row."

----

"Bang!" Kiana's hand knife fell mercilessly on Yulandel's head, and it actually made a hollow sound.

"Ah, it hurts!" Under the attack of Kiana's "Hell Hand Knife", Yulandel fell directly to the ground.

If this were a comic, then there should be a huge bump on Yulandel's head with smoke floating out of it.

Next to Yulandel, Raiden Mei, who had changed into clean clothes, was kneeling in a very well-behaved posture.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" Kiana crossed her arms and looked down at Yulandel.

"I know..." Yulandel raised her head slightly, then shrank her neck guiltily. 'Why safety pants?'

"Look at what you have protected?" Kiana pointed at the house destroyed by Raiden Mei and Yulandel. "You haven't protected anything yet?!"

"You're going to fight the Herrscher right in the city...see what you can do."

The reason why Kiana scolded Yulandel was actually very simple.

As a Valkyrie, Yulandel started a war with Raiden Mei in the city without being able to ensure the safety of the people.

If an attack were to land directly on the city, given the output of the Herrscher, even an ordinary attack would have the power comparable to that of a tactical nuclear weapon.

Well...actually this is also the result of Kiana's miscalculation of Raiden Mei's strength.

Because of empiricism, Kiana instinctively believed that Mei Raiden's strength during the 'Changkong City' period was not very strong. With Yulandel's strength, it would be a very easy thing to defeat Mei Raiden.

So she did not choose to control Raiden Mei at the first moment, but instead launched a rescue operation for the people of Changkong City.

After all, in a [Sequence Collapse], the threat of the Herrscher is only one of them.

Compared to the Herrscher itself, the spreading Honkai energy and the resulting Honkai beasts are the real killer moves.

However, with the medicines developed by Kiana and Tianming, the spreading Honkai energy is no longer so scary, so what Kiana has to do is divided into three steps.

The first step is to collect all the people and provide them with treatment.

The second step is to assist Mei Raiden in absorbing a large amount of Honkai energy from the [Third Sequence Great Honkai], allowing Mei Raiden to become an enlightened Herrscher, while also being able to clean up excess Honkai energy.

The third part is to annihilate all the Honkai beasts and individual assassins in "Changkong City".

However, the problem lies in the first step.

If Kiana wants to accurately contain such a large number of life forms, she must accumulate energy for a period of time. After all, she can't just dig away Changkong City, right?

Well... although it is not impossible, the problem is that after she digs up "Changkong City" and then moves out, what should she do with the foundation?

The final attack from Yulandel and Raiden Mei forced Kiana to overclock her driving power in exchange for a faster speed, which put a great burden on her mentally.

Although these mental exhaustion is not a big deal, it is a very dangerous thing for the people of 'Changkong City'!

If Alicia didn't make it in time, the confrontation between Raiden Mei and Yulandel would at least destroy half of Changkong City.

"After you go back, submit a 10,000-word self-reflection." Kiana punished Yulandel.

For Yulandel, the 10,000-word self-review was far more effective than any other punishment.

"Eh?!" Yulandel widened her eyes.

"What? I haven't finished yet." Kiana stared at Yulandel mercilessly. "Remember to write a mission report and give it to Sister Cecilia so that she can know what you did."

Kiana launched a second-stage killing attack.

Yulandel burned out and turned into snow-white ash.

B.32 Kiana, you are very mean now

After successfully "killing" Yulandel, Kiana turned her attention to Raiden Mei.

Mei Raiden's situation was completely beyond Kiana's expectations.

Not only is her strength strong, but she is also not controlled by the 'will of the holy scar'.

Yes... Before coming to this world, Kiana didn't know all this very well. After all, the [Stigmata Plan] was a plan from 50,000 years ago, in the pre-civilization era, and Kiana and the others only saw this plan for a very short time, and there was not enough time for them to fully understand it.

But after being in this world for so long, Kiana finally figured out some things.

For example, the Herrscher of Thunder in Changkong City at that time was not the Herrscher personality as they thought at first, but the Sacred Mark Will of Raiden Mei.

"I'm sorry, Sister Kiana..." Facing Kiana's gaze sweeping towards her, Raiden Mei lowered her head obediently and admitted her mistake.

"It's okay." Kiana waved her hand. "Mei, you are different from that idiot Qibao."

"Didn't we agree to call me Yulandel in front of outsiders..." Yulandel pouted and muttered softly.

"Hmm?" Kiana turned her head and asked faintly.

"Gu..." Yulandel shrank her neck guiltily, and lay on the ground obediently without saying a word.

"Why are you still lying there?" Although Kiana was very confused, she was giving a lecture now and couldn't let Youlan Dai'er, a funny guy, ruin her performance.

"Okay, now let's get back to your question, Mei." Kiana leaned back casually, and a white plastic chair from a food stall appeared under Kiana at the same time.

"It just so happens that you are here too, Alicia, so just listen to it."

Kiana waved her hand and the same chair appeared behind Alicia.

"Great~" Alicia cheered and sat on the chair. "Mei... [Herrscher], that's great."

At the end of the pre-civilization era, Alicia liberated her power and allowed [Origin] to return to [End].

At that time, Alicia had no way of being sure that her power would be effective.

Not long ago, she woke up inexplicably and saw Kiana again yesterday.

Although Alicia was very happy that Kiana had her own will, it could not be compared with the situation of Raiden Mei.

Because Kiana was the Herrscher who appeared earlier, although it was a fact that she had her own will, Alicia did not see the process.

But this time it was different. Mei Raiden who became a Herrscher was the one she saw with her own eyes, a Herrscher with her own will.

The sense of accomplishment and joy in Alicia's heart is difficult to describe in words.

"Actually, based on my understanding, Mei, you do possess the [Stigmata]." Kiana began her 'speech'.

"Hmm, yeah." Raiden Mei nodded. "Although I don't know what the [Stigmata] is, but... I did feel two similar but slightly different powers in my body just now."

In Raiden Mei's own perception, a force was constantly stimulating and transforming her body...but at the same time it also made her emotions extremely excited, so excited that she could not control her bellicosity at all, so she attacked Yulandel.

It feels like the consciousness is very clear, but it cannot be communicated well to the body.

If I really have to make a metaphor, it's like when her consciousness wants to make a scissors hand gesture to express her happiness, her body is completely out of control and she jumps around like a monkey to express her joy.

Although they all expressed joy, the scale was magnified several times.

The other force formed a kind of guidance, allowing her to know how to use this powerful force, so her body could adapt to this extraordinary power very quickly.

"Well... Alicia may not know, but after becoming a Herrscher, you will indeed be in the situation you just experienced, Mei... In simple terms, your emotions will be amplified a lot."

"Happiness will turn into ecstasy, sighs will turn into depression, sadness will turn into heartbreak, and even the slightest emotion will be magnified into rage."

Kiana understands because she has experienced it.

But this is already very good. After all, the Herrschers in the pre-civilization era were complete puppets without any chance of self-selection.

"What should we do?" Raiden Mei's eyes widened. "Isn't this a mental illness?"

As soon as Mei Raiden finished her words, she covered her mouth in shock.

Normally, she would not say these words so directly.

"It's actually very simple to solve." Kiana reached out and rubbed Raiden Mei's head.

Although Kiana didn't know why Raiden Mei's 'Stigma Will' didn't appear like in the 'original world'.

But one thing is very obvious, that is, when Mei Raiden was fighting with Yulandel just now, she did show the power of the stigmata and the authority of the Herrscher.

So Kiana guessed that Mei Raiden should have completed the awakening of the stigmata in an unconscious state, so the "will of the stigmata" did not appear.

Regardless, this is a good thing.

After all, there is no pain in Mei Raiden's life that could make her bitter and resentful.

Mei Raiden has both parents and lives a happy life.

Although Raiden Ryoma was quite strict in educating Raiden Mei, especially in kendo, he never allowed Raiden Mei to slack off.

However, perhaps because of Raiden Miyuki's mediation, the relationship between Raiden Mei and Raiden Ryoma is still very good, and it has not become stiff because of Raiden Ryoma's poor speaking skills.

So Kiana felt that with Raiden Mei's current mentality, it would not be difficult for her to absorb the Honkai energy in 'Changkong City' and complete her 'metamorphosis'...

"Besides, if it doesn't work, I'm still here." Kiana has made up her mind. If Raiden Mei can't control herself, then Kiana will take action...

Of course, it's impossible to kill Raiden Mei, but with Kiana's current strength, it's not difficult to 'seal' Raiden Mei...

"Oops!" Kiana suddenly realized that she had just been depleted of mental strength.

Although this will have an impact on Kiana's combat effectiveness, she is much stronger than Mei Raiden, and even the complete [Hersher of Thunder] cannot be her opponent, so even if her mental power is deficient, she will definitely be able to defeat the [Hersher of Thunder].

But... her only worry was that she would not be able to control her power due to the lack of mental strength...

"Well... As the Chinese saying goes, 'sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood', we don't need to start in such a hurry. Mei should have a good night's rest first."

Although the plan had to be postponed due to Kiana's lack of mental strength, she would never say such a thing.

Strictly speaking, Kiana, who is almost thirty years old, is now very mean.

B.33 Sleep together!

"Why, I am the only one who is unlucky..." Yulandel, wearing gorgeous armor, was patrolling in the sky.

In order to conserve their energy, Kiana and Raiden Mei have gone to rest.

And Yulandel, who had made a mistake, was driven out by Kiana to perform her duties as a Valkyrie...

To put it simply, she now has to clear out the Honkai beasts and a few deadly warriors in 'Changkong City'.

With the existence of medicines and vaccines, although the level of the collapse in Changkong City was very high and many people were infected, not many people died.

Adding Kiana's timely transfer and treatment, the actual number of people who died in this collapse may be less than ten.
