Chapter 140 I'll Remember This Grudge
"Wind Dance!"
While the power to create rational fluids has many avenues for expansion, for a Valkyrie like Wendy, whose academic performance is average, high speed and storms are the simplest and most effective combat methods to wield this Herrscher power.
Although it's rough, it's really easy to use.
When fighting Rita, she did not choose this move—a melee combat technique that involves attaching wind blades to the hands for a quick attack, and a derivative move of Wendy's Herrscher form as a Valkyrie. Against the melee-specialized Azure Knight: Moon Soul, it was not a good choice.
But this time, that time.
After the enemy switched from Rita, who was at maximum melee attack, to Bronya, Wendy felt that melee was the best option based on the brief contact they had just had.
"Quite smart."
As the heavily armored bunny materialized from his mind, it used its large, shield-covered arms to block Wendy's attack. Under its protection, the silver-haired girl, still dressed in casual clothes, couldn't help but praise it.
Most Herrschers are mages who are not good at close combat, and the Herrscher of Reason, who focuses on technology, is even more extreme in this regard.
but--
"The current Bronya is the true Herrscher of Reason."
Accompanied by somewhat exciting and mesmerizing sound effects, Bronya chuckled as a layer of azure light enveloped her.
The white princess outfit belonging to the Herrscher of Reason is shed, replaced by a warrior who appears with her long, flowing hair tied up into a single ponytail.
"In the name of truth, it is revealed here."
A technologically advanced long spear appeared in 'her' hand, pointing directly at Wendy, who had been repelled by the heavily armed bunny.
Although the outfits of [Herrscher of Reason] and [Herrscher of Truth] are merely changes in clothing, Jiang Qiao imposed restrictions on them after her ascension in order to better control this power. [Bronya] in the Herrscher of Reason outfit could only exert 80% of her power, but after changing into the Herrscher of Truth outfit, the restrictions on [Bronya] would be completely removed, allowing her to perfectly exert 100% of the power belonging to the Herrscher of Truth.
"Hmph, it's just changing clothes!"
Although Wendy noticed that Bronya's aura had become even stronger than before, she didn't take it to heart at all.
As time went on, her originally humble 800 hw energy level was slowly increasing, and now it was approaching 1 hw.
The increase in energy level means that she is still getting stronger.
This victory belongs to me, Wendy!
Unaware of what Green Seele was seemingly thinking, the silver-haired girl with a ponytail, holding a long spear, calmly gazed at her. The patterns belonging to the Herrscher of Reason in her eyes, after being transformed into truth, returned to their original simplicity.
In his mind, however, came the mechanical voice of the Reloaded Bunny:
[Vector parsing in progress - parsed]
[Extreme Mode Loading - Loaded]
[Analyzing target behavior patterns - Completed]
[Airborne floating cannons are being deployed—1....4....8....36.]
The next moment—the girl, who had transformed into a blue shadow, left a dazzling blue trail as she pointed her spear straight at Wendy's face, the sharp spear tip only a foot away.
"The battle is over. You lost."
The cool, milky-scented voice rang in Wendy's ears, snapping her out of her daze. Her face darkened, and she wanted to shout, "I haven't lost yet!"
But it wasn't just the long spear that was aimed at her vitals; there were also thirty-six small, high-energy laser floating cannons that had somehow surrounded her.
“I don’t want this battle to end with your sacrifice, Wendy. You deserve a better future.”
These seemingly indifferent words may not contain much emotion, but they are incredibly sincere.
This caused Wendy to fall into a long silence, after which she nodded somewhat dejectedly:
"Okay, I'll be good."
She didn't harbor much hatred towards humanity; it was merely the dissatisfaction and resentment she felt after being deprived of the future she was rightfully entitled to.
The reason things ended up that way was simply because I was betrayed by the person I trusted most, and I was completely desperate.
"...Um, can I stay by your side?"
Wendy pressed her index finger against her finger and said in a low voice, somewhat uneasy.
Although her personality appears very flamboyant after becoming a Herrscher, this child is actually the type who is emotionally sensitive and very insecure.
It was precisely because of this personality so similar to Seele's that Duck was able to take advantage of Wendy's downfall and break into her heart, turning her into Green Seele.
After becoming a Herrscher, her somewhat flamboyant personality is actually just like that of a housewife – the more something a person lacks, the more that missing part will be made up for after becoming a Herrscher.
Some may think this is an isolated case, but in reality, this is indeed the result of becoming a Herrscher—after all, Herrschers are perfect beings. The transition from human to Herrscher is not merely a superficial change in the essence of life, but also a refinement of personality and will.
The disappointment brought about by the gem experiment and the bleak future made it impossible for Wendy to return to Schicksal's camp. Otto, that old bastard, would certainly not leave such a living Herrscher with a personal will unattended. Although he did not know the latter, the former alone was enough to make Wendy feel lost and without her rightful place.
The wind is invisible and free.
If Jiang Qiao hadn't appeared, Wendy, who had lost her home, would probably have followed her inner desires and ultimately perished as a Herrscher during the conquest.
However, Wendy felt a sense of familiarity with Bronya, who was also a Herrscher, especially with her sincere advice and handsome face. All of this led Wendy to make this seemingly masochistic request, even though they had only met for the first time and were enemies just a moment ago, and she had even been beaten up.
"it is good."
Jiang Qiao had no reason to refuse the offer of a lawyer's services.
She's not only a powerful fighter, but also a very cute girl.
Moreover, in a sense, Wendy is actually a continuation of the pink fat woman's beautiful wish.
It is one of the flowers that bloomed from the seeds she sowed.
Therefore, he needs to take good care of this flower that blossomed because of Alicia.
Looking at Wendy's smiling face, the silver-haired girl's eyes revealed a hint of emotion.
The original Wendy died because of Bronya's betrayal.
Wendy lives on thanks to Bronya's efforts.
As Bronya, he must have done something, right?
As Jiang was lost in thought, a desperate SOS message from Fatty Miss suddenly broke through the otherwise inconspicuous chat group—
Alicia: Help me! Mr. Jiang Qiao!
Because she was always busy, Jiang Qiao hadn't paid much attention to her other "cheat code." She would glance at it occasionally, but it was mostly the chat content between Hu Tao and Youyou.
Of course, he had also talked to the fat woman. After all, it would be a bit difficult for the fairy to do things if he asked the three of them to take care of Alicia, even though he had instructed them to look after her.
Logically speaking, the previous civilization should not have any problems for the time being. After all, under the influence of the power of the Origin, Wendy's emotions in the previous civilization are stable, and there is also the fat lady from Paradise Lesbians by her side. No matter what, there should be no problems.
Thinking this, he looked at the fat woman's SOS message in the group chat with some surprise, and quickly replied—
Jiang Qiao: What happened?
Alicia: Wendy has become a Herrscher!
"?"
Bronya's expression was tense upon seeing the message; she couldn't understand why this was happening.
He was very puzzled—
Jiang Qiao: ...You guys didn't upset her, did you?
With the power of Origin suppressing her, and with Little Bird and Fat Lady by her side, Wendy shouldn't be able to break free from emotional outbursts.
Alicia: No way! Do I look like the kind of person who would do something bad? But the little bird is so cute~
The overweight woman, hiding in a corner untouched by the storm, was sending messages with a slight smile, but then, remembering her current situation, a look of annoyance crossed her face.
Alicia: ...It's not our problem! Now is not the time to talk about this. Dr. Mei and the others said you should have a solution. Please come and save the children!
Jiang Qiao: I understand.
After sending the message, the silver-haired girl sighed.
Unexpectedly, after returning to the present civilization, the previous civilization was in such great chaos.
Fortunately...
Jiang Qiao's gaze fell on Wendy.
The key to solving the Wendy problem from the pre-civilization lies with this child.
"Wendy, I need to borrow your Herrscher Core."
"...Huh? No problem!"
Wendy was taken aback when she heard the request, then nodded.
Although the Herrscher Core is quite important to her—unlike a proper Herrscher, she is a half-baked Herrscher who is not fully awakened by gems and has no way to reassemble the core. Losing the Herrscher Core itself would reduce her combat power by more than half. However, after being tamed by Jiang Qiao, as long as she is not betrayed and it is just a matter of borrowing a core, Wendy does not care much.
"Thanks."
"..."
Seeing the subtle change in the girl's expression, Wendy sensed something was amiss and felt a little strange:
