Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

"Durandal, take the Herrscher of Domination with you, and the two Doctors as well. We'll return to Schicksal headquarters soon!"

Theresa grew increasingly excited about her grand plans for the future, even prioritizing them over the development and research of bitter melon juice. She even imagined that future generations might carve a large statue of her and place it in Destiny Square to commemorate her.

"Hey? Auntie, are you going back so soon? Why don't you stay at the lunar base a little longer? I'm going to miss you..."

However, Kiana was already overjoyed and extremely happy.

"Let's go, let's go! After Aunt Flo leaves... no one can stop me from playing games anymore." Qi Bao secretly rejoiced.

Theresa tiptoed and affectionately patted her niece's head.

"Kiana, I'll come visit you after I've settled the Herrscher of Dominion and finished my work, okay? As for now... I'll have Bronya, Mei, and that guy stay here with you."

She looked around and pointed out Xia Yuan, who was hiding behind the crowd.

Of course, the bishop couldn't let the other party go back and cause trouble for her little moonlit girl and little Gretchen. Rather than bringing them back to Schicksal and causing them even more trouble and headaches, it would be better to just leave them at the lunar base, which would be both worry-free and safe.

With Kiana guarding the lunar base, there's no safer place than here.

Upon hearing Xia Yuan, Mei, Bronya, and Liu Shi, Qi Bao's expression became excited. Even the Herrscher of Domination, who was being carried on Durandal's shoulder, was affected by her will, and Kiana's various excited thoughts kept appearing in her consciousness.

Yay!

[Play games! Play games!]

Let Bronya see for herself all the game skills I've painstakingly mastered these past few days!

[Hehe, I'll drag Mei into it too, that way she'll be an accomplice, and even if Aunt Flo comes back, she can't say anything to her.]

The Herrscher of Domination is not only about to burst from the body, but her little brain is also about to shut down...

"Auntie, sister, both doctors, class monitor, have a safe journey, and remember to say hello to Dad for me~" Kiana waved her little hand, watching Theresa and Durandal leave.

Yulandel froze on the spot, quietly observing Theresa's emotional changes beside her.

Durandal was relieved when she noticed that the other person's expression was not angry. It seemed that the bishop was in a good mood now, and even when her adoptive father was mentioned, he was not as impulsive as he was on the ship before, and did not want to jump off the spaceship.

"Hmph, when we see Siegfried, we'll just bury him right under the gate of Schicksal headquarters. Since he's so unwilling to work, guarding the gate isn't a bad option."

His Excellency boarded the ship in high spirits.

Durandal's mind gradually became hazy. She had actually heard the bishop's mutterings... Her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. With a sigh, she took out her communication device, hoping that her adoptive father could be mentally prepared.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I really can't hide it anymore. You'd better take care of yourself."

Meanwhile, Dr. Ein dragged the unconscious Dr. Tesla onto the spaceship. For her colleague, it was best not to wake up during this long yet fleeting journey, otherwise, Dr. Lobster might get angry again...

Chapter 578 Yay, Mei's the best!

After the ship takes off.

Kiana spread her arms wide and cheered loudly, "Yay! Now let's see who can stop me from playing games!"

"Heh, so Kiana's finally showing her true colors? Theresa's only been gone a short while, and... Kiana, don't be too happy yet. Why don't you take a look at who that purple-haired auntie next to you is?"

Bronya gave Mei a disdainful look and took the opportunity to say something bad about Mei, since Mei had made a move on her stupid subordinate.

However, the thought of Mei getting her hands on the other woman soon made her want to enjoy the show from the sidelines. She still missed seeing the idiot Kiana being scolded by Mei until she couldn't lift her head and didn't dare to utter a sound.

Mei glanced at Bronya with a complicated expression.

Now that she's grown up, Kiana no longer calls her "Mei-neechan" (older sister Mei), but even calls her "Auntie." The baby Kiana in her arms is much more comforting. However, she really should discipline Kiana properly; considering their previous communications, it seems the other woman was just using her to deceive her...

"Kiana, have you forgotten that I'm still at the lunar base?"

Mei's voice carried a hint of resentment, and before it could even reach Qi Bao's ears, the other person's body instinctively stiffened.

"Oh my, how could I possibly forget you, Mei? How about we play some games together, Mei? I've been practicing for ages, just trying to find the time to play with you and Xia Yuan. You can't let me down, Mei!"

Mei originally wanted to correct Kiana, to help her study properly, do something meaningful, and correct her attitude as the Herrscher of the End.

But then she remembered that Mr. Xia Yuan was also in the game... Mei, who had been in a stern state, reverted to her gentle side, causing Bronya, who was watching the scene unfold, to gossip. "Hiss—Mei's change of attitude is a bit too fast, isn't it?"

"Um, Kiana, will Mr. Xia Yuan be coming to visit too?"

"Of course! We're the best gaming partners! Xia Yuan, come here, come here~~~" Kiana shouted, then warmly and naturally put her arm around his shoulder, her eyes gesturing repeatedly...

Xia Yuan naturally understood Qi Bao's little secret.

"Mei, you've finally made it to the moon and gone through so much, why don't you take this time to relax? How about playing some games with Qibao? Mei, you don't want to see Qibao looking disappointed, do you?"

"Since Mr. Xia Yuan has spoken up for Kiana..." Mei hesitated for a moment.

"Yay! Mei's the best~"

However, Kiana, who is currently focused on playing games, doesn't have many ulterior motives.

She never expected that her gaming partner would have such abilities, managing to handle the most troublesome and difficult Mei. If Xia Yuan hadn't been there, Mei would definitely have been supervising her studies the whole time, giving her no time to play games.

Bronya, who was just watching the show, pouted in dissatisfaction.

Her plan to see Kiana scolded by Mei until she dared not look up was ruined. That idiot subordinate was truly everywhere; his presence was felt all around. Mei was incredibly gentle and considerate towards him...

"Hmph, you idiot Kiana, you'd better be prepared!"

Feeling somewhat irritated, Bronya challenged Kiana to a duel and stepped into the lunar base without looking back. Since Mei couldn't teach her a lesson, she was going to give Kiana a good beating in the game to vent her anger and not let her get too cocky.

Unable to defeat Mei, Bronya took her anger out on Chibo.

For a moment, watching Bronya step into the lunar base, Qi Bao was a little confused.

"Bronya, what's wrong with her?"

"Hmm, according to the general theory of the Pink Fairy, she's probably jealous." Fairy Airi, nestled in Mei's arms, fanned the flames, finding this situation quite amusing.

"Jealous...?"

"Don't listen to Ai Li's nonsense. Ya Ya is issuing a challenge to Qi Bao, to settle things in the game and defeat you fair and square." Xia Yuan quickly shut up the little fairy Ai Li's mouth. Having spent so much time together, he knew little Ai Li too well.

"A decisive battle? Sure, I couldn't be happier!"

Kiana rubbed her hands together, eager to try it out. "Prometheus, could you please go to the warehouse and get a few more pairs of virtual reality glasses? Oh, and... the snacks in the base are almost gone, remember to restock them."

"Kiana, there's something I need to clarify: I am an artificial intelligence, not a human babysitter."

Kiana, with one arm around Mei and the other around Xia Yuan, had already disappeared into the base, leaving Prometheus standing there in a daze, her chip seemingly analyzing some problem.

I had a feeling that during the time I was taking care of Kiana, she seemed to have developed some kind of emotional fluctuation that only humans would experience.

After some time...

During this week, Xia Yuan spent every day playing games with Qi Bao. Not only did he not have to work, but he also had a paid vacation, which was very enjoyable.

And Mei and Bronya are there to keep you company...

These days were very fulfilling, but Qi Bao had a really tough time in the game. Bronya bullied and beat her for a whole week with her superior game experience and equipment.

Even so, it did not dampen Qi Bao's enthusiasm at all; on the contrary, it fueled her fighting spirit.

Even he had to admire Qi Bao's never-give-up spirit. A few days later, our bishop took Seele away. It seemed that he and the two doctors had devised a plan to limit the control of the Herrscher, but Seele's assistance and cooperation were needed.

Before leaving, Seele entrusted Miss Black Seele to her care.

Just thinking about the lawless Miss Black Seele, without Seele's supervision, wouldn't she turn the lunar base upside down along with him?

He absolutely cannot let Miss Hei hope ruin his wonderful life on the moon. Right now, he's either by Qi Bao's side or hiding in a corner secretly writing in his diary, making sure she doesn't catch him.

About half a month passed after Seele left...

Theresa actually initiated a communication with him. He didn't know who had given him their communication device, but the bishop in the communication seemed like a child wanting praise and compliments. So he reluctantly gave him some praise.

Chapter 579 Well, it's not impossible~

"Well... as expected of His Excellency the Bishop, that's wonderful~ How about I give you a big hug when we get back?"

However, Xia Yuan's rather perfunctory praise almost made the bishop break down, and he even wanted to call out Judas through the internet. But the other party seemed to have thought of something and forcibly restrained himself with the comfort of Amber beside him.

certainly--

Good news also came from Theresa's side.

The problem that Xia Yuan was most worried about has been solved by the bishop and the two doctors. His life is no longer tied to the Herrscher of Dominion, and her last trump card has lost its original purpose.

In addition to Theresa, Ain, Dr. Tesla, Seele, and the rest of the Schicksal Research Institute, they worked overtime to discuss various issues concerning the Herrscher of Dominion, which actually led to a breakthrough for the Bishop. By combining Schicksal's original Soul Steel technology with the power of the Herrscher of Life and Death, they actually mass-produced a large number of clones of the Herrscher of Dominion.

Its quantity—

It has already far exceeded the scale of a thousand people, and is still producing more and more from the research institute.

Every doll body produced from Soul Steel is marked by Seele. If there are any signs of harming citizens or resisting, they will be detected by that mark. In serious cases, they will be directly erased and remade. These dolls made of Soul Steel were sent to various parts of the world by the bishop one after another.

Directing traffic, building towns, patrolling the outskirts, mining crystals, eliminating the remaining Honkai Beasts...

All the dirty and tiring work was done by the Herrscher of the Void, which greatly reduced the Valkyrie's workload, allowing her to have a rare break during these busy days, except for Siegfried, of course.

To quote the bishop himself: Siegfried is best suited to stay at Schicksal and guard the gates.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

This is also the path of atonement for those who wield the Law of Domination...

According to Dr. Ein, the doll body constructed for the Herrscher of Dominion using Soul Steel does not need to eat or sleep. It only requires a periodic supply of Honkai energy and simple maintenance of the doll body to work 24 hours a day without interruption.

Instead of imprisoning them, let's work together to contribute to a better future.

However, in Xia Yuan's opinion, was this really not labor reform? If others wouldn't do it, there were plenty of Herrschers who could, but given her personality, would she really obediently follow the Bishop's arrangements and orders? But then... Theresa's words dispelled his doubts.

In order to get the Herrscher of Dominion to work properly, the Bishop granted her small request and wish.

She needs her older brother to visit her for one day each month.

No wonder Theresa contacted him so proactively, and her attitude was so sincere. Even when he teased her, the bishop tolerated it. So that's what she was waiting for. It seems he's become the sweet treat Dr. Ein was talking about, a juicy reward...

Thinking about it carefully, the Herrscher of the Void is quite pitiful, silently bearing the workload of the entire planet all by herself.

He figured that if he spent just one day each month with the Herrscher of Domination, the city's construction and development could be accelerated several times over. So... he readily agreed to the bishop's request.

This surprised Theresa on the other end of the communication line.

She was still holding several plans provided by Dr. Ai Yin. What if Xia Yuan disagreed? Or did he have a resistant attitude? After all, he had been chased by the Herrscher of Domination all the way and was said to have suffered serious injuries. It would be unreasonable for him not to have some psychological trauma.

One of the proposed solutions was to have her take a nap with the other person, once a week.

According to Dr. Ai Yin, the solution she provided was the best solution based on a comprehensive summary of Mr. Xia Yuan's data. Although His Excellency the Bishop felt embarrassed, he thought that sacrificing himself for the sake of future development was no big deal.

That bastard got off too easily...

Xia Yuan's quick agreement caused Theresa to feel a slight sense of disappointment, and she scrutinized the other person on the other end of the communication as if to confirm whether it was indeed him.

"Ahem... You, you agreed so quickly?"

"Otherwise what? Do you expect me to cuddle you for a nap, Your Excellency?" Xia Yuan teased, half-jokingly.

His hatred for the Herrscher of Domination seemed to have faded over time. Who could resist a little girl who called him "Big Brother" all day long? YaYa never called him that in private. Although his behavior was somewhat extreme, he had already been punished as he deserved.

The thought of the other party working year-round without a break, and not even receiving a salary, is unbearable.

He wondered if this would continue for centuries; even he, a working-class man, couldn't help but feel sorry for them. The exploitation was simply too cruel...

Xia Yuan originally thought that the bishop would be furious, but after a long time, there was no sound of Theresa slamming her desk on the other end of the communication channel. Instead, she unexpectedly fell silent.

"Well, it's not impossible... Listen to me, this is all for the sake of future development, not because I really want you to hold me while I sleep!" Theresa's face flushed red, and she hung up the call before Xia Yuan could react.

"???"

"Your Majesty Bishop?"

"Your Excellency, please don't hang up! I was just making a little joke, please don't take it seriously!"

Xia Yuan reopened the communication, wanting to explain to the bishop that it was just a joke, and that Bronya would kill him if he actually agreed. However, he received no reply; it seemed Theresa had unilaterally rejected his request…

The sound of tapping on a tablet echoed in the library of the lunar base, attracting someone's attention.

Then—

A series of light footsteps echoed softly from behind Xia Yuan.

"You rascal, I've finally caught you! So you were hiding in such a secluded corner of the library. You really know how to hide! No wonder I could never find you!"

Through the reflection of the tablet screen, Miss Kuroki's figure could be vaguely seen.

I've hidden myself in such a secluded corner, how could they still find me?! Could it be because the commotion from my video call with the bishop was too loud?

Miss Hei hope's face had become a little chubby due to eating too many snacks lately, and her plump little chin was resting on his shoulder at this moment.

Chapter 580 When it comes to making empty promises, Bronya is a professional!

Miss Hei hope's act of resting her head on his shoulder not only made Xia Yuan shudder, but in the end, he still couldn't avoid it.
