"Mei." Kiana waved to the suddenly appearing figure. "Momo's taking pictures of me." "Taking pictures?" Mei took a few steps closer and saw the camera in Momo's hand. "Momo, you can take pictures too?" "I can do a lot of things." Momo boasted seriously. "Mei, do you want one too?" "I want one with Mei!" Kiana suddenly raised her hand and shouted. Then, the next moment, she was pressed against Mei. "Taking pictures together? That sounds like a good suggestion." Mei readily agreed to the sudden suggestion. "Or I should go and call Bronya too."
"No need to trouble Mei-neechan." As soon as Mei finished speaking, Bronya popped out from behind Mei and Kiana. "Bronya is right here."
"Wow!" Kiana was startled by the sudden appearance of the petite figure. "Little one, what's wrong with you? Why are you appearing and disappearing like that?" Bronya glanced at Kiana but didn't reply. "Taking a group photo," Bronya muttered to herself, but quickly returned to normal. "Bronya has no objections, as long as Mei-neechan likes it."
"Since that's the case, then it's decided. Quickly stand in line and hurry up." As soon as Mo Mo finished speaking, Mei, who had been moving quickly, had already pressed Bronya down and called out to Kiana, "Kiana, hurry up too, don't keep Mo waiting."
"I know, I know," Kiana replied nonchalantly, then moved to the other side, squeezing Bronya into the middle... Bronya remained silent.
"I'll count down from three, 3, 2... Cheese!" Mo Mo pressed the shutter, then nodded in satisfaction. "My intuition tells me this will be a pretty good photo." [You said the same thing yesterday when you were taking pictures of Silly Girl Number Two, and you know perfectly well what happened. I don't need to remind you, do I?] The system relentlessly undermined Mo Mo.
"[That was just an accident!]" Mo Mo retorted confidently. "After all, I haven't touched this thing in so long, it's understandable that I slipped up. I definitely won't do that this time. I hope it won't be a complete mess again." "I hope it's as you say, Mo-kun," Mei said with a smile. "But before we finish those photos, we still have other..."
"We have things to do." "???" "Himeko-sensei told us to gather on the bridge; she must have a mission to assign us. Of course, Mo-kun has to gather with us too," Mei said. "We're about to arrive in New Zealand; we need to prepare for landing quickly." "We're almost there..." Mo Mo gripped the camera tightly. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly.

96. Upon arrival at our destination, we found New Zealand devastated.
"Major Hime... I've brought everyone." Through the sound of the elevator, Mei appeared before Himeko with several people, though the already small space seemed even smaller due to the crowd.
"You've finally arrived! We're still on a mission, and you've been wandering around all day. Do you even know how to spell 'emergency assembly'?" Himeko glanced at everyone and launched into a tirade. "Fine, I don't want to say anything more. We estimate we'll reach our landing site in about ten minutes. So, I'm going to reiterate the mission details. Listen up!" Kiana muttered under her breath, her eyes darting around. "Ugh, isn't it just landing, going to that research institute, finding that person, and bringing back that Desire Gem? What's there to emphasize?"
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Kiana, the situation has changed, and it might not be as easy as you imagine." Himeko squinted at Kiana, her eyes revealing...
"..." Himeko's earnest description sent a chill down Kiana's spine. "Major Himeko, what do you mean by 'the situation has changed'? Has some unexpected event happened over there?" Mei, who was most concerned about the mission details, asked. "That's right. Unfortunately, just yesterday, a very strong calamity occurred in New Zealand. The cause is currently unknown, but it has already caused damage to the ocean..."
"The branch is completely paralyzed. The place you're about to go to is a high-difficulty dungeon full of assassins and horned monsters. So everyone, stay alert and don't let your own sleepwalking drag everyone else down with you." Teacher Himeko calmly explained. Most importantly, the Gem of Desire has also disappeared. Now we can only roughly confirm the location of the gem through the Hyperion's positioning system, further increasing the difficulty of the retrieval operation. "It's alright, just a few horned monsters. I can handle them all by myself." Kiana waved her hand dismissively, completely disregarding what Himeko said. "Besides, Mei is with us. This mission is not difficult at all." "Lieutenant Kiana," Himeko said through gritted teeth, taking a few steps forward, her kind face almost touching Kiana's. "Can you save the energy you used for boasting for when you're dealing with the enemy later? Until then, please be quiet and listen carefully."
"I...I know..." Kiana stammered, shrinking back timidly. After glaring at Kiana again, Himeko turned and walked back to her seat. "Although the mission difficulty has increased, at least the objective remains the same: to retrieve the Gem of Desire from Han. There's no need to get too entangled with the Yongkai Beasts and the Dead Soil on the island. Do you all understand?" "Understood!" *3 "Very good. Now it's your turn, Momo." Himeko slightly turned her head, looking directly at Momo. "A strong calamity just occurred in New Zealand yesterday. How about it, can you handle it?"
"The situation has changed, and we don't have to stick to the original plan. Momo, you can choose to stay on the Hyperion and wait for the opportune moment to strike, instead of acting with Kiana and the others. What do you think?" "That level of horn energy concentration isn't a big problem for me." Momo shook his head. "I'll go down with them. Every extra person adds to the danger." "Is that so? Don't be reckless!" "Relax, it's just a small problem. A little bit of horn energy won't kill me." Hefting the camera hanging around his neck, Momo muttered to himself, "The only thing I can photograph in a while is a pile of ruins." "You're even more unreasonable than Kiana! Do you really think this is a vacation?" Himeko sighed helplessly. "Fine, you guys hurry up and prepare for the airdrop. Remember, while retrieving the Gem of Desire is important, safety is paramount. Don't be too stingy when necessary."
Himeko spoke the last sentence while looking at Momo. The meaning was quite straightforward. "Understood, then we'll depart now." After saluting Himeko, Mei pulled Kiana back to the elevator, with Momo and Bronya following closely behind. "I hope everything goes smoothly for them." Himeko sincerely wished them well, and could only stay on the bridge, quietly waiting for the final result. "Reporting, Colonel! We're above the target location, ready to airdrop at any time. Please give instructions." "Nothing much to say. Valkyrie Squad 5, sortie! Go retrieve the item, and then we'll go home safely!" "Yes, sir!"
Pointing the camera at the scene before him, Mo Mo muttered to himself as he pressed the shutter. "What a 'gray' world. Although the sunlight is still scorching and bright, there's no longer any sign of human life. Only horned beasts and zombies wander aimlessly across this land, proving that this place no longer belongs to humans. In just one day, such a drastic change has occurred." "Hey, Fifth Squad, respond if you hear me, respond if you hear me." Himeko's voice rang in the ears of the safely landed group. "Fifth Squad received, please give instructions. I've already had the staff send you the location of the Desire Gem. Move there cautiously." "Received. Communication ended here, temporarily suspended. Hmph, finally it's my turn to show off my skills." Kiana twirled her twin pistols, saying smugly, "The Gem of Desire, I'm going to get it! Any horned monsters or assassins blocking the way, I'll just take them all down." Without Himeko's pressure, Kiana's shrewd nature was on full display. "Don't get too cocky, Kiana. Don't forget our mission is to retrieve something, not to exterminate horned monsters," Mo Mo reminded her. "Don't worry, if you're scared, just stay behind me, I'll protect you!" Kiana patted her chest confidently, "You just stay behind and record my heroic battle! Oh, and remember to take good pictures." "Assuming you can handle it, don't turn around and ask me for help later." Mo Mo shrugged. "I'm 'unarmed,' you know." "Hmph, a mere few former Honkai Beasts reporting this." Bronya's cold voice interrupted Kiana, "Honkai Beasts have been spotted on the only path leading to the Gem of Desire, about 200 meters ahead."
"Alright, Kiana, it's you! Go! Use Rampage! Wait, what do you take me for?!"

97. The Girl in the Ruins
"Hey, I'm talking to you." Kiana bounced up behind Mo Mo and punched him in the back. "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?" After staggering a few steps, Mo Mo turned around and said irritably, "Can't you see I'm thinking about something?" "Thinking about something? But you've been clearly distracted since just now." Kiana put her hands on her hips and slowed down as well. "Weren't you fine before? Could it be that you're scared because it's your first time in a place like this?" "Do you think that's possible?" Mo Mo rolled his eyes. "What kind of big scenes haven't I seen? You think I'd be scared by something as trivial as this? You're underestimating me."
"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night," Mo Mo casually made up an excuse.
He couldn't very well say he'd had this inexplicable feeling since the beginning. From the moment he set foot on this land, an indescribable sense of foreboding had been growing, and now it occupied a corner of Mo Mo's heart. It was as if something unbearable awaited him ahead. "[Don't think about it, relax, believing in yourself is more important than anything else.]" The system also spoke up to comfort him. "So, did you actually take a picture of me defeating the Yonghuai Beast?" Kiana kept waving the camera in front of Mo Mo's eyes, relentlessly asking, "I did my best to deal with the enemies up front." "What do you take me for?" The camera around Mo Mo's neck moved more and more violently. "Do you really think I'm some kind of battlefield screenshot guy? Taking pictures of you without doing anything? You're kidding me." Kiana stopped walking. "This isn't what you agreed on before. I don't remember ever agreeing to that kind of request." Kiana's face flushed with anger. "Hmph, so stingy... What are you doing?" "Nothing." Mo Mo casually moved the camera away from Kiana's face, trying to hide the fact that he had already pressed the shutter button. "I heard everything! Why don't you take more pictures of me when I'm looking handsome!" Kiana reached out to snatch the camera from Mo Mo's hand. "Give it to me! You're not allowed to keep this photo." "No way!" Mo Mo raised his right hand, gripping the magenta camera tightly in his palm. "I'm definitely going to publish a photography collection someday. I've even thought of a name: Kiana's Silly Moments. What do you think?"
"What?! You bastard!" No matter how angry Kiana was, or how much she jumped around, she couldn't snatch the camera that Mo Mo was holding high. "Give it to me now!"
"Give up, you can never take it from me!"
Although it sounds a bit unethical, seeing Kiana's consistently embarrassing state made Mo Mo feel that the darkness in his heart dissipate slightly.
Hopefully, none of those unusual premonitions will come true. "Alright, alright, you two, shut up. We're on a mission right now." Mei stepped in, and Kiana, who had been constantly chattering, immediately quieted down. "After we retrieve the Gem of Desire and return to the Hyperion, you can do whatever you want... Bronya, we're now close to the Gem of Desire..."
How far is the stone? Bronya, who had unknowingly walked to the front of the group, paused slightly and said expressionlessly, "Reporting, Mei-neechan, according to the detector, we are now very close to the location of the Gem of Desire. We should be able to detect its traces through our inner eyes." "Is this it?" Mei stopped and turned around. "But there doesn't seem to be anything strange around here, not even any horned monsters or zombies. Kiana, Mo-kun, have you found anything?" "Absolutely nothing." The two who had been shouting stopped and answered in unison. "What's going on? Could it be that our detection equipment is malfunctioning?" Mei looked somewhat worried. "Should I contact Himeko-sensei first?" "Mei-neechan, wait a minute," Bronya interrupted Mei. "According to the life detector, a life form has been detected 50 meters to the east." "A life form?" Mei looked in the direction Bronya indicated and seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure behind a small patch of ruins. "I see it! It looks like a little girl in a wheelchair. It's dangerous here, we have to hurry and save her. Kiana, Mo, and Bronya, let's go!" "Okay, Mei!" As soon as Mei finished speaking, Kiana and Bronya immediately followed her, and Mo Mo also paused slightly before catching up. [I wonder how these three little brats can be so carefree.] The system suddenly spoke up, [In this situation where there are horned monsters and dead earth everywhere, finding a little girl in a wheelchair seems unrealistic, doesn't it? Why does that little girl in the wheelchair seem so abnormal to me?] 1. "Because she is indeed abnormal," Mo Mo replied. "Those who survive in this situation are either important PCs or the masterminds behind it all. Obviously, the little girl in the wheelchair is the latter. But at least she looks quite harmless."
In this area where no horned monsters or zombies were found, everyone quickly and without hindrance arrived before the girl in the wheelchair. "Are you...the Valkyries of Schicksal?" Seeing the strangely dressed newcomers, the girl in the wheelchair was somewhat surprised, but didn't seem afraid. Instead, she readily identified them. After exchanging glances, they finally decided to assign the most approachable Mei to approach the girl. "Hello, we are Valkyries from the Far East Branch of Schicksal. We're here on a mission. My name is Raiden Mei." Mei paused slightly before continuing, "May I ask who you are, little sister?"
"Hello." Faced with Mei's friendly greeting, the girl hesitated for a moment, but still answered, "I'm Wendy."
"Hello, Wendy, please wait a moment." Mei was about to ask more questions when the communicator from the Hyperion rang. "Jiao, is there anything I can help you with?"
"According to the detection instruments on the Hyperion, Mei, have you found the 'Gem of Desire'?" "Gem of Desire?" Mei looked around. "But we only found a girl in a wheelchair. She should be a survivor from this disaster."
"That's right." After attracting everyone's attention, Himeko spoke again, "The survivor you found is the one who longs for the gem."

98. The wind yearning for freedom
"Miss Wendy is the Gem of Desire?" Mei paused slightly, seemingly unable to understand. "Major Himeko, what do you mean?" Not only Mei, but Kiana and Bronya were equally confused. "Could it be that this little girl is the Gem of Desire that has come to life..." Kiana stammered, "Bronya, what kind of look is that? Ah, Momo, you too! What do you two mean?!" Bronya and Momo both turned their faces away, ignoring Kiana's question. "Kiana, be quiet." After glaring at Kiana until she covered her mouth, Mei continued to say to Himeko, "Major Himeko, can you explain this?"
"According to intelligence from the Oceania branch, the Gem of Desire is on this Miss Wendy," Himeko continued. "Time is short, so I'll explain briefly. Three years ago, the Oceania branch conducted an experiment, transplanting the Gem of Desire into Miss Wendy's leg. The Destruction Crystal fused with her shinbone, hoping to gain power on par with a Herrscher." "Power on par with a Herrscher?" Mei couldn't help but scrutinize Wendy a few more times. "But..." As you can see, although Wendy was the most likely Valkyrie to become the fourth Level 5 Valkyrie of this generation, she also couldn't control the immense power of the Gem of Desire, and... "Himeko's voice trailed off. "And because of the crystal, I can no longer use my legs," Wendy continued somberly. "I can only move around like this, sitting in a wheelchair."
"Then why not remove the crystals?" Mei asked, her expression grave. "Won't Miss Wendy just have to continue like this?"
"The Desire Gem within Wendy's body has exhibited a stability unlike anything seen before. Schicksal, in order to preserve the crystal, used Wendy as a vessel to contain the Desire Gem." At this point, Himeko sighed deeply, helplessly. "How could they do this!" Kiana interjected angrily, "This is too much! It's so unfair to her! Why should she be treated like this!" Kiana's question went unanswered. No one present could provide an answer. "Rather than arguing about right and wrong here, let's hurry back to the Hyperion and discuss this further," Himeko continued. "Let's get going. The rest... we'll arrange it after we get back to the Hyperion..." After a brief silence, Mei responded, "Understood." "Going back?" Seeing Mei cut off the connection, Wendy looked up and asked calmly, "However, I'm in a wheelchair and have difficulty moving around, so it might take a little longer." "It's alright, let Bronya handle this." Bronya waved her hand, and a huge robot appeared behind her. "Heavy Bunny, lift Miss Wendy up."
To Wendy's disbelief, the Heavy Bunny floated behind her and lifted her and her wheelchair up. "Looks like everything's alright now," Mei said, relieved. "Thanks to Bronya and Heavy Bunny, they've been a huge help. Let's get out of here quickly; this isn't a place to linger." "No problem," Mei ordered, and Kiana strode confidently to the front. "Mei, you're in charge of protecting Wendy and Momo. Leave the task of taking down all the horned monsters blocking our way to me!"
On the way back, passersby kept asking Wendy if she was alright. Bronya, in particular, who was usually aloof and quiet, surprisingly took the initiative to chat with Wendy. "That seemingly clumsy girl is Kiana. Even though she's a bit of a fool, she's a genuinely good person," Bronya introduced them one by one. "Wendy, don't worry, everyone in the Far East branch is a good person and won't hurt you."
"Hey! Bronya, were you talking bad about me again?!" Kiana, who was walking at the front on guard, suddenly shouted. "I heard everything!" "Denied." Bronya also raised her voice slightly. "Bronya only tells the truth." After hesitatingly nodding, Wendy turned her curious gaze to the only oddball present. "This is Momo... a good person." After a moment's hesitation, Bronya still gave what she considered a fair assessment.
When Mo Mo turned his head to look at her, Wendy quickly lowered her head, avoiding his gaze. [Why can Bronya and Mei communicate so well with her, but it's like this with me? Is my charisma really that low, or do I look scary?]
"[Who knows? Maybe she instinctively sensed you were a dangerous person.]" The system replied ambiguously. "Don't be afraid, Miss Wendy," Mo Mo said, "I'm just an ordinary person accompanying the team, cheering them on and recording some exciting moments. By the way, would you like me to take a picture of you?" "Take a picture?" Wendy looked up with a puzzled expression and saw a magenta camera already pointed at her. "But this expression isn't quite appropriate right now," Mo Mo continued. "Don't worry, the Far East Branch is completely different from here. No one will force you to do things you don't want to do anymore, P... Try to be happy. You're free." Having gained the power of a Herrscher, she dedicated her body and soul to Yong Huai. Was this the freedom she wanted?
[F So this incident ended just like that? 1 The system felt a little strange. [It shouldn't be like this, it went too smoothly. 1 [Ended? You're overthinking it.] Mo Mo lowered his head, turning the camera over and over, but his peripheral vision kept falling on Wendy, who was bowing her head and remaining silent. [Things have only just begun.] "Can someone who has lost the ability to walk really become free?"
"Likewise, I lost the ability to walk because of an experiment and spent a long time on Rinzaki, but later regained the ability to walk through this exoskeleton armor. Once we return to St. Freya Academy and remove the crystal from your leg, you will soon be able to walk again like me, Bronya... I believe Wendy can do it." "Is that so?" A glint flashed in Wendy's eyes, and her tone softened a bit, "Bronya-neechan, you're so kind. Yes, it's too late now."

99. The Lost, Raging Winds
"Mmm---" Kiana stretched contentedly, standing in an open space. "Now we just need to wait here for Aunt Himeko to pick us up, right? Finally, we can go back to St. Freya! I'm exhausted. Although it's a wide open space, we haven't seen a single horned monster or assassin, so it's perfect for waiting to board the ship." "Don't talk like you've done a lot, Kiana," Mo Mo retorted mercilessly. "You only dealt with a few horned monsters at most. That's just a warm-up, isn't it? If this makes you feel tired, you should be prepared for a much heavier training load when you get back! How could you do this!"
"Click." Kiana, enraged, whirled around, only to hear the shutter click. "Hmm, not bad, this photo will be called 'Kiana in a Furious Moment.'" Ignoring Kiana's angry glare, Mo Mo muttered to himself, head down. "You!" Kiana's blood boiled, and she turned to Mei. "Mei, look at him! How could he be like this!"
"You two... Mo, you should probably stop now. Don't keep bullying Kiana like this." Mei sighed, but still sided with Kiana. "Alright, alright." Mo Mo nodded helplessly. The 'Kiana's Silly Moments' project's material collection was thus aborted. This was fine, wasn't it? "Hmph, that's more like it." Kiana snorted and awkwardly turned her face away. "Their relationship is so good..." Wendy, who had been put back on the ground by the Heavy Armor Rabbit, sighed softly. "Once we get back to St. Freya and remove the crystal from your leg, Wendy, you can live a life like that too." Bronya said, standing beside her. "We'll be able to go back soon."
Wendy didn't answer, instead lowering her head further, hiding her expression in the shadows. Imagination is always so beautiful. But it's just imagination. "Mei, can you hear me? Please answer if you can." Himeko's urgent voice broke the momentary tranquility. "Major Himeko, can we board the ship now?" Mei sensed something strange. "Or has something happened?" "We'll be at your current location soon, but that's not the point." Himeko's urgent voice carried a hint of seriousness. "What exactly happened on your end? Why is the energy concentration rising so rapidly?" "Energy concentration rising rapidly?" The relaxed expressions on everyone's faces vanished without a trace. "1500HW... 2000HW... This level... it's already reached the level of a Herrscher!" Himeko asked again, "Mei, what exactly happened on your end?"
"We...wait." Mei suddenly paused, as if remembering something. "Herrscher? Right now, when you mention Herrscher, the only thing that comes to mind is..." Realizing what she'd just said, Mei quickly turned around and looked at Wendy, her gaze, like everyone else's, falling on the person in the wheelchair who kept their head down.
"Heh, 0..."
Gradually, faint laughter could be heard. "My current horn energy intensity is 2000 HW!" Wendy raised her head, her previously timid and cowering expression completely replaced by madness. Even the Hyperion could be destroyed in a single blow. "Wendy..." Bronya stared at her in disbelief, involuntarily taking a few steps back. "Ah, you've really disappointed me. I don't want to go back to that damned place with you!" Wendy uttered arrogant words without restraint.
She gradually floated up from her wheelchair. "I am the Herrscher!" Her charisma, no longer concealed, suddenly surged, radiating an unprecedented aura of danger. "Herrscher... Wendy, could it be that you..." Bronya, with her youthful wisdom, pondered for a moment, and the most likely possibility emerged.
“That’s right, this gem that destroyed me has also given me power again, allowing me to be reborn!” Wendy floated into the air, her clothes changing.
Even her back now sprouted shimmering, emerald-green wings. "Now, I will use this power to make those scum who brought all this to me feel the taste of pain and despair! This is the place I destroyed, but this is just the beginning. I will fly all over the world, sowing seeds of destruction and despair!" [This girl looks familiar.] The system, which had been silent for a long time, spoke up. [It reminds me of her.] [But she's not here now, so don't bother thinking about it.] Mo Mo replied, [Get ready, System, I feel like it's almost our turn.] "Wendy, wake up!" Bronya shouted, raising her head. "Don't be fooled by the power of the gems!"
"I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen!" Wendy covered her ears and shook her head violently. "You bunch of hypocrites! I won't believe you!" Hypocritical? We never lied to you! Kiana, who had been falsely accused, raised an eyebrow and pointed at Wendy in the sky. "We all genuinely wanted to help you, how dare you slander us like that! It's all lies!" Wendy was clearly no longer listening to anyone. "Die!" Wendy raised her hand and waved it sharply, but nothing happened in the increasingly gloomy sky. No, there was something, but it was difficult to refute with her inner eye.
Mo Mo shouted, pulling Kiana and Mei back. As soon as they moved, two deep knife marks appeared on the ground, sending a chill down their spines. "Tch, consider yourself lucky," Wendy scoffed, her attempt thwarted. "But will you be so lucky next time?" Mei, still worried, watched the figure flying in the sky. "She's completely deaf to what we're saying." Mo Mo had already made up his mind. "To calm her down, we have to defeat her first." "Then it's my turn! Even if it's a Herrscher... even if it's a Herrscher!" Kiana's eyes hardened. "I won't lose!" "Don't be reckless, Kiana." Patting Kiana's shoulder from behind, Mo Mo stepped forward, a card already in his hand. "In situations like this, we should let experienced professionals handle it."

100. Gale and Swordsman
"Oh?" Flying high in the sky, Wendy raised her head and disdainfully looked down at the equally thin figure blocking Kiana and Mei's path. "Are you out of your mind, human? Or did you come here hoping to die sooner rather than later?" Wendy didn't understand why that seemingly frail guy mixed in with the Valkyrie squad would be standing at the front, looking like he wanted to fight her.
"Isn't that ridiculous?" But never mind, these kinds of questions don't matter. Whatever I want to do, what I need to do, won't change in the slightest. "No matter what your reasons are, since you're determined to die, then let me send you on your way!" Wendy shouted arrogantly, raising her hand. "Mo, quickly hide in the back, leave this to us!" Even Mei stepped forward, her expression solemn as she addressed Mo Mo. "Hey, are you guys joking, or do you really look down on me?" Mo Mo remained unmoved, standing still. "Since that's the case, it seems it's time for me to prove myself." [Ready, System, let's go! 1] [Of course, always ready. 1] [This time the opponent is a Herrscher, so give it your all! 1] [Stop babbling and get to work!] After reuniting with the system, a card appeared in Mo Mo's hand. "What's that?"
Although it was just a tiny, insignificant card, it instinctively stirred a sense of unease within Wendy. "What exactly is this? Let you experience it for yourself," Mo Mo said, then inserted the card into the driver at his waist, his hands...
"Kamen Ride"
A beam of light swept past, and a priestess with two long, thin animal ears replaced the slightly frail-looking figure.
Bronya, witnessing this scene for the first time, could only repeatedly type exclamation marks to express her shock. Equally astonished was Miss Wendy in the sky. "You... wait a minute." Staring blankly at the unfamiliar face below, looking up at her, Wendy seemed to have discovered something and lowered her height. "This feeling... I see. So you're also a Herrscher? That's quite surprising." Looking up and down at the beast-eared figure above her, Wendy suddenly uttered something startling.
"What? Mo Tong... is also a Herrscher?" Wendy's words once again drew everyone's attention to Mo Mo after his transformation.
"Huh? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Mo Mo, now the center of attention, was somewhat surprised. "Compared to my status, shouldn't dealing with Wendy's matter be the most important thing right now?" Mei nodded thoughtfully, "Then let's fight side by side, Mo Mo. And Kiana... don't just stand there daydreaming, get ready for battle!" "Huh? Deal with me?" Mo Mo's words also reached Wendy's ears, only to be met with a disdainful sneer. "Don't make me laugh. Who do you think you are? Although I don't understand why you, as a Herrscher, are still on the side of humanity, looking at you now, I never imagined that the world..."
"Are you kidding me? Trying to make me laugh to death so you can inherit my Gem of Desire?" This insignificant reaction is even more petty than that of a newly born Herrscher. "So, for you, strength is judged solely by the magnitude of horn energy? How superficial." Mo Mo shook his head slightly, a hint of disdain lurking in his calm words.
"What right do you have to talk to me like that? You're the most disgraceful Herrscher in history!" Since you won't listen to anything I say now, my first priority is to teach you a lesson. This time, Mo Mojing didn't hesitate, inserting another card into his driver and grasping the longsword that appeared from the void. He casually swung Sakura Fubuki, and the "most talkative Herrscher in history," whom Wendy considered utterly useless, now exuded a dangerous aura. "Come on then!" Although she felt a threat, Wendy still didn't want to back down verbally. "You think I'm afraid of you?"
Two simple words served as Mo Mo's final reply. He gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes, devoid of any emotion, fixed on Wendy. "A bluff." Wendy gritted her teeth, deciding to test the waters first. Let's try this! [Another wind blade? This guy's attack methods are so monotonous.] Even the system couldn't help but complain, [Is the Herrscher of Wind's ability just about flicking wind blades? That's a bit too much, isn't it?]
Rather than mocking Wendy's monotonous attack methods, Mo Mo's primary concern was how to deal with the dense barrage of wind blades coming his way. Before his brain could devise the optimal solution, Mo Mo's body had already made its choice. That was to roar, "Face the wind!" and raise his hand to create a wind wall in front of him to block all the flying blades... Sorry, I digress. Although he could also be called a swordsman, Mo Mo wouldn't use such a convenient skill. Instead, she brandished her Cherry Blossom Blizzard sword, charging headlong into the howling wind without any fancy moves. "You talked so big, I thought there would be something special, but in the end, you're just courting death. How could this be?" The mocking expression on Wendy's face froze completely before it could fully form. The expected scene of flying flesh and blood splattering did not appear. Instead, Mo Mo broke through her flawless attack almost unscathed. Wendy watched helplessly as Mo Mo wielded his Cherry Blossom Blizzard sword, slicing the wind blade in two again. [Wait, tell me first, what's the principle behind you being able to cut through something like a wind blade?] [There's nothing I can't cut!]
"That's a really cunning answer! You're a swordsman now, not a surgeon!" Amidst the system's untimely remark and Wendy's astonished expression, Mo Mo's figure had already approached a dangerously close area for Wendy. "A sharp blade, arriving in an instant." "It seems the true Herrscher of the Tongue is you." Holding up his Sakura Blizzard, Mo Mo said.

101. Defeat! A truly shameful Herrscher is born!
"It's over." Flicking the Cherry Blossom Blizzard in his hand, Mo Mo sheathed his sword. "The battle is over." A figure then sat down on the ground. "How... how is this possible?" Wendy muttered to herself, her expression blank, reciting this now-familiar line. "Nothing is impossible, after all..." "How could someone who's just the most eloquent Herrscher in history defeat me so easily?"
So you knew I defeated you so easily?
"Then what right do you, a defeated opponent, have to call me a disgrace? What, so great are you, Yong Huai? I'll chop off your feathers and wings and see if you're still so smug." Wendy clenched her fists tightly, head bowed, gritting her teeth, "Why do you still stand on the side of humans! Can't you, a fellow Herrscher, understand my pain and hatred?!"
[This is so true! She was all arrogant just a moment ago, but after getting beaten down, she starts spouting nonsense. Tsk tsk tsk.] However, Wendy's words made Mo Mo feel a slight unease, and he couldn't help but glance at the surrounding crowd. Kiana, Herrscher of the Void trainee Mei, Herrscher of Thunder Bronya, the future third Herrscher of Reason of this century.
Even I can barely be considered a Herrscher... It seems that in a sense, everyone present is indeed a Herrscher. But that's not the point right now. "Answer me! Why are you stopping me from destroying those hypocritical humans!" Wendy turned around and roared at Momo.
The roars filled with resentment subsided, and everyone fell silent. Wendy, however, awaited an answer. "I know someone," Mo Mo said calmly, turning to face Wendy. At this moment, nothing was more convincing than stating the facts.
Under everyone's gaze, Mo Mo slowly approached. "In the dark, sunless laboratory, as an experimental subject, she suffered inhumane treatment. There was no warmth, no..."
Hope, even the question of whether tomorrow or death will come first is uncertain. In such a depressing environment, she stopped trusting anyone and began to hate the world. Yes, you should know what happened next: she became a Herrscher, just like you, destroying the place that had brought her endless nightmares, vowing to punish humanity with the power to destroy everything. If it were you, you should be able to understand, to some extent, what she felt.
Wendy's anger gradually subsided, and she asked with a hint of hesitation, "The person you're talking about, is it really yourself?" Caught off guard, Mo Mo was taken aback by this probing question. But Wendy's question seemed to echo the thoughts of the other three people present. "I stopped her," Mo Mo answered decisively, his slightly calm tone revealing his genuine pride. "I believe that even at that time, she still possessed a radiant humanity untouched by hatred and ugliness. Therefore, I wanted her to let go of her hatred for humanity and rediscover this..."
“But she’s already a Herrscher.” Wendy pointed out the fact bluntly. “Yes, just like you, almost everyone tells me that,” Momo continued. She was already a Herrscher, having abandoned humanity and become human.
The enemy. That's what they all said, but I stubbornly went anyway, failing many times. She wanted to kill me, but also saved me many times, so I believed her.
Only Mo Mo knew how much of the past was contained in that short sentence. The sound of the wind on the pure white snowfield seemed to still echo in her ears. "And then?" Wendy asked, curious yet timid. The answer to this question seemed crucial to her. "How is she now?"
"She's now..." Faced with Wendy's question, Mo Mo suddenly froze. "Mo Mo! I want potato chips!" "Mo Mo! I want an iced drink!" "Mo Mo! Come play games with me!" Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo - After a moment's thought, Mo Mo could almost see Xilin's petite figure rolling around in front of her. In her heart, Mo Mo silently covered her face. She couldn't say it, she really couldn't say it.
The fact that she had raised a Herrscher capable of destroying the world with a mere gesture was something she simply couldn't bring herself to say. [Isn't that amazing? Compared to defeating a Herrscher, raising one seems far more difficult, doesn't it?] The system, quite maliciously, chose the word "feeding Fang." "She's living a very happy life now and has no intention of destroying humanity anymore." After omitting some "dispensable" details, Mo Mo answered succinctly. Damn it, everything she said was true; not a single word was nonsense. "How could this be..." Mo Mo's words sounded utterly unbelievable to Wendy.
Similarly, the other three shared the same sentiment. "Wendy, let go of your hatred. From now on, it's not too late." Mo Mo extended his hand to Wendy, then gently coaxed, "No one will care. You can still live a peaceful and ordinary life." "I really...can I?" Wendy cautiously glanced at Mo Mo's outstretched hand, shrinking back as she asked, her previous hysterical madness...
Everything had completely vanished. "Of course," Mo Mo nodded, confirming.
Compared to the twists and turns of the previous experience on the Siberian snowfields, this experience seemed to be less complicated.
"Let go of your hatred. You've done enough revenge." Mo Mo continued earnestly, "As long as you repent, we will keep everything that happened here today a secret and won't tell anyone. You agree, right..." Mo Mo turned his head slightly, wanting to seek the others' confirmation, but just as he turned back, what appeared in his field of vision was a missile that was constantly growing larger.

102. Cold weapons vs. firearms, sir, times haven't changed.
"Mo Mo, Wendy, watch out!" The warning also arrived belatedly. The missile, trailing a fiery tail, was only a foot away from impact. "Tch!" Mo Mo clicked his tongue, his body moving first. Normally, he would have preferred to meet the missile with his sword and cut it in two, but now he had a "frail" guy behind him. Without saying a word, he picked up the stunned Wendy and, without any regard for his image, brushed past the missile.
