Although she also wanted to fight alongside the villain Jiang Qiao, the most important thing was obviously to avoid letting the Ninth Squad see Wendy as the Herrscher of Wind.
After a while.
Only after sensing Alicia and Hen's departure did Wendy lower her hand, her bright green eyes fixed on Parfana.
—To be honest, Pavlina is a bit confused right now.
As the companion beast of the Fourth Herrscher, it could recognize the girl in front of it as its master at a glance. As for the specific differences, it was beyond the ability of a simple-minded Honkai beast like itself to distinguish them.
Logically speaking, they should be in cahoots.
But it's a pity——
"I'm not on your side!"
A terrifying wind blade was unleashed by Wendy as she raised her hand, leaving a huge wound on Parvati's body with incredible speed.
The ape-like Pavana let out a painful howl, followed by anger, and then its eyes turned bloodshot.
The next moment, it let out a roar.
Admittedly, there is a superior-subordinate relationship between the Herrscher and the Honkai Beast, and the Honkai Beast will obey orders. However, not all Honkai Beasts are like Benares, who will be at the mercy of the Herrscher.
If the Herrscher wants to eliminate them, they will also resist.
"Tch, is that all the strength you've got?"
Looking at the wounds she had sustained, the girl clicked her tongue, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.
"At an energy level of only two thousand, it's quite impressive to have achieved this level."
Through the rough absorption along the way, he had raised this body's energy level from a pitiful thousand-plus to two thousand.
But given the rush, the speed was far from ideal.
Fortunately, Jiang Qiao can now feel the power gradually filling her body.
"It looks like it will take some time."
With a sigh, Wendy flapped her wings and became more serious.
At its current energy level, it might be a bit difficult to take down a Judgment-class Honkai Beast.
Of course, there are indeed faster ways to deal with this guy—such as subduing him as the Herrscher of Wind.
But that kind of thing is meaningless.
It was alive; the energy reaction of a Judgment-class Honkai Beast was far too conspicuous for the Firemoth.
Moreover, unlike the Primal Spirit, Palanna and Shesa are both the type of Honkai Beasts that are very disobedient.
If we relax even slightly, these two will cause massive damage.
Once the transformation is complete, I won't need these disobedient henchmen anymore. In that case, I might as well use the big guy in front of me as a sacrifice for the transformation.
Just as Kevin can regain his strength by eating Chi You, Jiang Qiao can do the same thing through this Herrscher of Wind body!
By "swallowing" it, Wendy can at least save most of the Honkai energy she would have needed!
The Honkai energy surging into her body was projected outwards at high speed, transforming the surrounding airflow from simple air into an ideal fluid unique to the Herrscher of Wind.
Herrschers always choose the combat environment that is most advantageous to them, and among them, the Herrscher of Wind is the best of all Herrschers.
Once his deployment is complete, he will be far more powerful than the Second Herrscher or even the Primordial Herrscher—at least in terms of pure combat, that is indeed the case.
"Alright, let's begin!"
The girl with black hair and green highlights revealed a crazy, beautiful smile as her hands gradually closed.
The storm that had been calmed down paused for a moment, then began to spread out with terrifying force.
Wind is the simplest and most direct way to use this power, while the ultimate goal of ideal fluid is to elevate this simplest and most direct way of using it to a higher level, such as eliminating airflow friction to make it faster and more efficient.
Ordinary winds cannot harm Pavlina.
The Honkai Beasts that accompany a Herrscher will possess some abilities similar to or the same as the Herrscher, such as Shesa's lightning and Moyuri's mental dissolution. This trait makes them, who are already tough, more resistant to attacks from the same Herrscher.
"But so-called resistance has its limits."
Having completed the domain belonging to the Herrscher of Wind, Wendy's lips curled into a smile.
Today, this area is a veritable forbidden zone.
That was even more terrifying than the hurricane that had previously struck Pavlova.
There's no longer a need for the impact of floating debris being swept up, or rather, there's nothing like that in this area at all.
Just a gentle breeze can break things down into dust, and an invisible blade of wind can slice off a huge layer of soil when it brushes against the ground.
If any other creature were placed in this area, it would instantly experience what it truly means to be torn to pieces and reduced to ashes.
Only the three-foot radius around Wendy is the only safe place.
"Roar!"
The powerful resistance and tankiness of Palanna prevented her from dying just by staying in the domain, but the feeling of being dismembered and torn apart at the cellular level every second was unbearable even for Honkai Beasts that had no concept of pain. Moreover, unlike those low-level Honkai Beasts, Honkai Beasts of the Judgment level could feel pain!
All of its hundreds of eyes were tightly closed at that moment, making it impossible to open them.
This also means that Palfan's most powerful attack methods have been restricted.
—Those thousand eyes are not just for show; when used at full power, they can unleash terrifying beams of destruction, just like when attacking the Kosmo, and they can even overlap.
If it weren't for the domain of the Wind Herrscher locking down this devastating weapon, even the ideal fluid that could be called absolute defense might not be able to withstand the combined power of hundreds of eyes with Jiang Qiao's current physical strength.
"Peng!"
The giant ape, braving the strong wind, used its large hands to block the wind, barely managing to open a few of its eyes. The beams of light shot from several of these eyes vanished instantly within two meters—in this terrifying ideal fluid airflow zone, even beams of light formed from a large amount of Honkai energy would be dismembered in an extremely short time.
In reality, Palanna is currently in a state of being dismembered and tortured, but its regenerative ability is too strong, and it can barely maintain the zero boundary between regeneration and destruction with the help of the Great Honkai energy environment.
With a sudden burst of power from its powerful hind legs, Parfana, its face covered, charged towards Wendy with terrifying force against the incredibly strong airflow that made it difficult to move – its most conventional and powerful fighting method.
Although in the eyes of those who follow the Flame Moth, as the companion beast of the Herrscher of Wind, it is a ranged AoE mage super turret capable of unleashing storms, Palanna's greatest strength should actually be close-quarters combat.
Its speed is unparalleled, and its power is unmatched.
Even the thousand-eyed beam of light is a close-combat weapon for Palfana.
After all, very few people in this world can dodge or block a thousand beams of light that are right in front of their face, right?
Getting close to Wendy was the best decision. After all, even as the creator of this field, he had to leave himself a safe zone to avoid being affected by the high-speed, uncontrollable airflow.
But this is also a wrong decision—this blank space is just a habitual practice. Jiang Qiao could have shrunk this stable area even further, making it limited to just herself.
If that's the case, then this seemingly safe blank space looks more like a trap to lure people in, doesn't it?
"Wind Domain Suppression!"
The girl, flapping her wings and retreating, revealed a sly smile, and her hands, which suddenly pressed down, caused the surrounding airflow to freeze.
The wind, which had been suppressed with all its might and could only reach within a kilometer, suddenly shrank.
"Zizi~"
The extremely compressed wind domain was eventually shrunk to a tiny area that could only accommodate one beast like Palanta, and the effect it produced was quite intense.
The boundary between regeneration and destruction was shattered at this moment. The entire Pavana was being dismembered at an extremely high speed, and its flesh and blood turned into specks of purple light that were swept into the tiny wind field and could not escape.
A moment later, the beast-sized wind field shrank again, transforming into a wind ball smaller than the palm of a hand, which fell into the girl's hand. It was filled with purple light and contained a terrifying Honkai energy index.
"About 3khw."
Sensing the amount of Honkai energy in it, Wendy examined it for a moment, then put it in her mouth and swallowed it with the movement of her fair throat.
Unfortunately, it had absolutely no flavor.
If I had to describe it, it does have a dusty smell.
Perhaps the power wasn't properly dealt with.
Given the capabilities of this body, to be able to achieve this in such a short time is already an extraordinary feat, pushing all its performance to the limit.
But that's alright, after all, with a Herrscher's body, a little dust is nothing.
The devoured Honkai energy flowed within the body, spreading at an alarming rate, and finally returned to the Herrscher core.
"Around 5khw?"
Feeling the absorption rate gradually slowing down, Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow.
He could vaguely sense that he could grow by about two thousand more.
"By the standards of those who follow the rules regularly, this is considered quite strong."
He sighed as he compared the Herrscher bodies he had used before.
The number of Herrschers of Reason is approximately 4,500. After becoming Herrschers of Truth, the reserve increases by about 1,000. However, that lineage of Herrschers is the smallest type among all Herrschers.
The Herrscher of the Void... I don't know if it's because of the pufferfish or the work of that old bastard Otto, but there's only 1,500 Void Cores left.
As for the Fat Lady's Primal Herrscher, considering her special nature, there's no need to calculate her number—it's only a single digit.
"Seven thousand units of Honkai energy reserves should be enough."
Feeling her own limits, although she didn't know what Wendy's current energy level was in the previous civilization, Wendy felt that it should be enough to handle it.
After all, energy level is not the decisive factor in battles between Herrschers—unless the difference is too great.
