Come and connect with me!

"Honkai energy?"

Kiana, who was still in the spiritual world, spoke to herself with some embarrassment.

"I don't know what this is either. Aren't you a Herrscher? Why are you asking me?"

"I no longer have a core. My condition is even worse than that traitor's. I can't sense the existence of God at all. But that's not the point!"

Xilin said angrily.

"I want to ask you, do you want the power given by God?"

"I don't want it. I have the armor Minato gave me now. Why would I want to become like that?"

Kiana puffed her cheeks and spoke with disdain for the power of the Herrscher, especially the last image of Sirin being alone, which always lingered in her mind, giving her another more resolute reason besides her not-so-deep-rooted Valkyrie mentality.

"What that bastard Wuming gave you is not good at all. It is completely different from what others gave you. If you want to avoid being hurt, accepting the power of God is the final shortcut!"

Xilin snorted and said angrily.

"Commander... um... he said that because I reject it in my heart, he can't give me the exclusive ship equipment."

Kiana said this, then her eyes lit up and she realized what was going on.

"Is it your fault?"

"That's right, that strange energy is probing my mind. I don't want that bastard to see my mind!"

Xilin said through gritted teeth.

"But if I increase the power, my mind might be read by force, so I need strength. You, find a way to become stronger quickly. It would be best if you could get my heart, so that my mind won't be read by anyone!"

"You'll become stronger if you put on the ship uniform."

Kiana thought about Yixian's ship suit and felt that it should be better than the one she was wearing.

"You'll be read!"

"But you've become stronger, too?"

The two of them stood there staring at each other, feeling like if they continued talking it would become a loop.

"Huh... Anyway, you have to find a way to get my heart. Only by regaining power can we... not be manipulated at will."

Xilin whispered.

"But...if I become a Herrscher, this world might become like ours! Is that okay?"

Kiana raised her voice, her tone full of determination that even if she continued to be weak, she would never let this world fall into ruins.

Xilin looked at Kiana and realized that she could not convince her. She raised her hand and waved it gently. Kiana felt her body lighten and slowly rise up. When she was about to shout, she heard Xilin's slightly lonely voice.

"You don't understand, God never abandoned me until the end."

.........

"...Xilin, I..."

Kiana suddenly stretched out her hand and wanted to say something to Xilin, but she felt something pressing on her body. When she looked closely, she found that she had woken up and was raising her right hand high, pointing at the ceiling.

"Eh?"

She maintained this posture for a while before slowly lowering her hands and staring blankly at the ceiling, only to realize that it was already daybreak.

"Good morning... no, it should be good afternoon, Kiana... and Sirin."

The voice of the Kitchen Goddess came from her ear, and a cold hand gently placed on Kiana's neck, making the latter shiver and wake up immediately.

"Hiss... so cold."

Kiana reached out and slapped away the mischievous hand of the Kitchen Goddess, and turned around habitually to look at the side. Two beds were joined together to form a double bed. The other side should have been Yixian's position, but at this moment there was only a faint fragrance and a neatly folded quilt.

"Yixian got up more than an hour earlier than you. Really? I told you to have a good sleep, but you woke me up instead."

The Kitchen Goddess was still wearing the dark-colored nun's outfit and nurse's cap, and was muttering with a little dissatisfaction.

"oh....."

Kiana hummed and looked at the empty bed beside her with some disappointment.

"How did you sleep last night?"

"not bad."

Kiana said absentmindedly.

"Oh, by the way, the commander asked me to apologize to you. He said he would do his best to compensate you. In addition to giving you the Herrscher core and demolishing a planet, uh, and any other requests that are too difficult, you can put forward any request. I'm not bragging, the commander can get you most of the things in this world."

The goddess of the kitchen poked Kiana's face with her finger.

"Even so, I don't think there's anything I want in particular. Um... Actually, I wanted to ask last night, what happened to those...those people."

Kiana asked hesitantly.

She was the one who was most shocked last night. She understood her own life experience, and whenever she saw those clones of different ages, she would inevitably think of herself, and her heart would always feel blocked. Her number was also mentioned in the picture, the number K-423, which meant that there were at least 422 abandoned clones before her, which made it difficult for her to be as heartless as usual.

"The commander had Akashi sealed up and kept nutritious, saying that everything would be handled by you in the end, and he had no right to deal with such matters."

The Kitchen Goddess said softly, her expression was rarely serious, and she looked at Kiana with questioning eyes.

"You, or Xilin, can discuss this. This is our port district's fault. The commander will not evade it, but the final outcome still needs to be decided by you."

Having said this, the Kitchen Goddess couldn't help but speak well of Wuming.

"Also, I can guarantee that the commander was unaware of this incident. Even Akashi didn't notice it. It's hard to decide on Adam's punishment, but the commander also said that if you want to punish Adam, you can bring it up. I was going to tell you last night, but Xilin ran away... well... you know."

Kiana nodded in confusion, her mind was also in a mess.

"Well, let Xilin and I think about it."

"Don't worry, you can take your time, don't be stressed."

The female Kitchen God did not put the blame on Wuming, but told him the truth according to her own thoughts.

"By the way, the food is next to the bed. I need to go out for a while and will be back soon."

Kiana nodded habitually, looked at the dishes in the thermos, and muttered.

"Where did Sister Yixian go?"

The Kitchen Goddess tore up the note originally left for Kiana on the table before answering.

"Come with me to welcome the new companions. Our port area has never been fully staffed. In its heyday, we had hundreds of companions, but now there are less than fifty."

Kiana blinked and said in confusion.

"Are you also on the other side of the dimensional gate like me?"

"No, it's at the dock at the port."

The Kitchen Goddess looked at the empty infirmary except for Kiana and tried to extend an invitation.

"Want to come together?"

Chapter 526: All White Hair

Port area port.

Two days had passed, which was not a long time in terms of time, but for the port area, the usual practice of having two ship girls a day was interrupted due to the energy supply needs of the dimensional gate. After many ships learned that they could see new ships returning again today, they all came, whether they were free or not.

“Who will it be today?”

I-19 looked at the dock door that was glowing again from afar and muttered to himself.

"Why hasn't Sister York City come back yet?"

Harman said with an unhappy look on his face.

"It all depends on the probability. But if we calculate it this way, the highest probability is still the White Eagle ship. The probability of your Yorktown sister appearing is very high."

Noshiro said softly in a soothing voice.

"Really? I have a lot to say to Sister York City."

Harman immediately became happy and began to think seriously about what to say when they met later.

Noshiro turned her head away, unable to bear the sight, and began to seriously consider what she would say if Yorktown didn't come.

"Hi."

Cleveland was listening beside Harman with a strange expression on her face. Someone tapped her shoulder lightly, causing her to turn her head away subconsciously.

"Enterprise? You scared me."

Cleveland spoke with a hint of complaint only after he saw who was coming.

"I'm sorry, I just saw you guys were so focused that I couldn't help but play a trick on you."

Enterprise said in a relaxed tone, and she followed Cleveland's gaze and found that the dock door had just lit up not long ago.

"Where's the commander?"

Cleveland asked in confusion, looking at the empty space around Enterprise.

"Him? It seems like he is watching Adam in jail. He seems to know how to torture Ai."

Enterprise held his forehead helplessly and couldn't help complaining.

"So many things happened last night, and I actually found out about it from Akashi."

"Last night? Wasn't he with you that night?"

"He came back at daybreak, took a shower and went to the command room. He took half a day off yesterday and planned to make up for it today."

Enterprise said depressedly.

"That sounds terrible, so what happened last night?"

Cleveland thought carefully and found that Wuming did not come for morning exercise this morning.

"Is such that......."

Enterprise muttered to himself as Cleveland's expression changed several times before finally turning into helplessness.

"Um, so can we see the commander later?"

"He will come, but I'm not sure if he can make it on time."

Enterprise shrugged and looked at the gathered shipgirls.

"If he's late, I'll have to show up. I can't let my companion just stand there stupidly."

"Then keep going, our invincible corporate leader."

Cleveland gently bumped Enterprise's shoulder with his fist, and the latter returned the gesture.

"Let's cheer together for our invincible Cleveland leader."

The two men smiled at each other, then stood side by side, staring at the dock door which was glowing brighter and brighter.

At this moment, Wuming was also jogging over. When he was about to reach the port, he suddenly ran into the Vesta and Kiana.

"Um.....hello, Kiana."

Wuming greeted with a hint of embarrassment.

"Hello, Commander."

Kiana also said weakly.

The two looked at each other, then looked away uncomfortably.

"Okay, you two, if our destinations are all ports, why don't we run together faster? Otherwise, we will miss the arrival of our new companions."

The Kitchen Goddess stood lightly between the two, holding one wrist with one hand.

"Oh... yes, let's go together then."

Wuming did not hesitate. Although meeting Kiana at this time was unexpected for him, he did not intend to never see her again. After the embarrassment, he found that Kiana's expression was not too repulsive, so he spoke in his usual tone again.

"Ah."

Kiana responded, allowing the goddess of the hearth to grab her wrist and run towards the port with the two of them.

"Who do you think will come next, Commander?"

The Kitchen Goddess asked as she walked.
