Just like Bronya who stole the Honkai energy from the Herrscher of the End, the Herrscher of Truth she displayed at the moment when all her gates fired simultaneously had an energy level that far exceeded the sum of the thirteen Herrschers combined.
And this is only a very small part of the Honkai energy stored in the cocoon that belongs to the end.
"It's time to cool down this riot."
Feeling the storm spreading throughout New Zealand, Wendy clenched her raised hand.
The power of the Wind Herald turned at this moment.
Although the Herald of Wind's authority cannot end this ongoing cataclysm, within his authority, Jiang Qiao, at her current level, can at least calm the extreme weather throughout New Zealand.
This way, the Fire Moths will face fewer obstacles when fighting against the Honkai Beasts and relocating the people.
However, creation is always more difficult than destruction. Forcibly using the power of the Herrscher to smooth out the harsh and extreme weather in New Zealand is also a great drain on him as the Herrscher of Wind.
Jiang Qiao could feel that the 5kw of Honkai energy he had obtained was completely consumed. At the same time, the Honkai energy extracted from the Imaginary Singularity from the Gem of Desire to the Herrscher of Wind Core, as well as the Honkai energy provided by the surrounding Great Honkai, were also being continuously invested into the work he was doing.
A few minutes later, the communicator rang—
"The extreme weather in various places is starting to weaken. Are you using your authority? Alicia."
"Alicia would be furious if she heard that title. Fine, it's me."
Hearing MEI address him as Wendy, he found it somewhat amusing, but he didn't dwell on it. A name was just a way of addressing someone, and it wasn't that important to him. As long as it made communication easier, it didn't matter.
"If you keep consuming Honkai energy like this, will you have enough later?"
Because she is also a Herrscher, MEI, even though she is not the Herrscher of Wind, knows exactly how much Honkai energy is needed to perform this kind of power exercise.
While this would indeed provide many conveniences for the Moth Chaser and the subsequent evacuation efforts, Jiang Qiao still had to deal with Wendy's problem.
If a large amount of Honkai energy is consumed in a short period of time, it will take a considerable amount of time to recover, even in the context of a major Honkai event.
It would be very dangerous to face another Herrscher with abundant Honkai energy when you don't have enough Honkai energy.
"It's alright, I have other methods prepared."
For Jiang Qiao, the most important function of the Great Collapse was to transform this half-baked body into a complete Herrscher.
As for the Honkai energy that is crucial to most Herrschers, he doesn't care that much about it.
"It's good that you're prepared."
"By the way, regarding the attack on that child named Totori, I had Sakura investigate the scene and found what appears to be a trace of Honkai energy."
Dr. MEI, on the other end of the video call, reported the discovery with great interest.
Have there been any other Honkai events occurring elsewhere recently?
"It seems there are some in Eastern Europe, but it's not surprising. Since the Second Great Collapse, Collapses have occurred more frequently all over the world, only on a smaller scale."
Although the Fire Moth's influence is widespread across the globe, it is not actually omnipotent at this moment.
Because it is a secret organization formed by multiple countries, if a collapse occurs in some countries that are not involved, the leaders of those countries will more or less choose to conceal it. Fortunately, the successful prediction of the third Great Collapse has raised the status of this secret organization in the eyes of many countries - of course, the control has also become stricter.
Even if Vervier tried to be as discreet as possible in Changkong City, some people in those countries could still vaguely sense that Moths of Fire were involved behind the scenes.
Providing a crucial early warning is a good thing.
But it's not good to get involved in their management.
In most people's eyes, the Fire Moths just need to obediently act as alarm bells and firefighters. After all, they created this organization to raise rescue dogs, not to make them their masters.
"Because of the rush, Dr. Vervie and Dr. Mebius used a lot of shady methods in the relocation of New Zealanders, and the control of the Moth of Fire will only become stricter in various countries afterward."
"So I hope you can take this opportunity to do more."
The third cataclysm wasn't enough to deter others, as it only affected one city and couldn't attract the attention of other countries. The current fourth cataclysm, however, is powerful enough, as it has devastated the entire country of New Zealand.
But this will only lead them to invest more in the Fire Moth and further tighten their control, since Velvey and Mebius's actions have already crossed the line.
The achievement of saving the people of New Zealand will not garner praise; more likely, it will only lead to even harsher repression.
The only way to unite everyone is to create an even bigger threat.
The collapse was significant, but it wasn't significant enough in the eyes of the other nations.
Given this, Dr. MEI believes it is necessary to make this threat large enough that all countries must honestly acknowledge the existence of the Moth of Fire and compromise on it.
Only in this way can the fire-chasing moth have greater authority and resources.
However, this request is somewhat excessive.
Making Jiang Qiao a bad guy, while not the same as forcing him to die, is almost the same as making him cut himself off from humanity.
"I see."
"If you don't want to, I'll... eh?"
MEI thought he would refuse, after all, given Alicia's personality, it was absolutely impossible for her to accept such a thing.
But the girl with the black-on-the-outside-green-on-the-inside dyed hair calmly agreed.
The intellectually gifted young woman was quite surprised; even this most rational person among humans had not anticipated such decisiveness.
She wanted to say that it was fine if she didn't want to, and MEI herself wouldn't mind completing the task as the Herrscher of Thunder.
"It's alright, I'm more suited to do this than you."
"Feel sorry."
Dr. MEI lowered his head apologetically.
In order to better integrate human power, even though she knew that this matter was extremely cruel and unacceptable to the girl in front of her, she still had to hand it over to her.
The girl's face showed little expression, only her ethereal words echoed in my ears:
“This is my mission.”
Chapter 143 Kill the Fat Woman, Steal the Little Bird!
“This is my mission.”
Even after the call ended, the girl's monotonous, ethereal words still echoed in MEI's ears, making her stand there for a long time.
Unlike the cooks of later generations, Dr. MEI was more rational. The moment she accepted Jiang Qiao's invitation, she knew that she was destined to make many sacrifices in the future. But when she heard those words, for some reason, this rational mindset gave rise to a sense of resentment and unwillingness.
Of course, she had experienced this feeling before, after all, even a genius like MEI's life was not always smooth sailing.
But compared to the past, there has never been a moment as intense as this.
But soon, Dr. MEI raised his head again, and the emotion in his intellectual eyes returned to calm.
Maintaining this complicated feeling will not be helpful for the work ahead.
Therefore, prioritizing the overall situation, MEI chose to bury this bittersweet feeling deep in her heart.
"Vilvie, how's the situation on your end?"
After connecting to a communication line, Dr. MEI looked quite serious as he gazed at the two-tone, afro-haired girl on the other end.
In the think tank of MEI, Mebius, and Velvet, MEI is currently in charge of overseeing operations in New Zealand and serving as the central commander, while Mebius is in charge of the evacuation of the people. As for Velvet, after the civil defense project was reinforced, the magician was sent to communicate with representatives of various countries in the Moth of Fire.
Unfortunately, although Mebius's political acumen was not bad, she had absolutely no interest in this path.
Dr. Mei is too young now; even if he has the talent, he is still too inexperienced.
So the political aspect became a matter of consultation among the three, and then Wilvi used her special personality-division ability to create a completely new personality called—the politician.
Given Vivi's ability to make significant contributions in any field in a very short time if she wanted to, she was the perfect candidate to be in charge of liaising with those high-level personnel.
"It's going very smoothly. The nearby Mu Continent has already dispatched a large number of ships to transport and evacuate the people of New Zealand. I have already coordinated with Dr. Mebius on this matter."
The political personality of Vivi is very close to her id, and is more like a combination of lecturer and engineer. She is exceptionally calm and composed, and shows no signs of the unconventional personality of the magician or most other personalities.
"And what about your end?"
"Alice is back."
"That's really good news."
Although it's rude to say this, at least for the politician Velvi, she prefers Alicia to Alicia.
After all, the former can only serve as a warrior... Although his combat strength is indeed quite strong, according to Vilvi's evaluation—if she wanted combat strength, why didn't she let Sakura go first?
Now, Sakura, wielding the Seven Thunders of Purification and the Jizo Soul, is no weaker than Alicia in terms of combat power. In fact, if she is caught off guard, the latter could be instantly killed by the former.
But Alicia is different. As a warrior, she possesses a strength and beauty that far surpasses Alicia's. At the same time, she also has a brain that, while not as good as those top sages, is still quite outstanding. In short, there is absolutely no way that the fat lady can completely outshine the former.
Her only advantage might be that the fat lady is simple-minded enough and has a kind of Xu Chu-like beauty.
Mebius opposed this.
"She agreed."
Without much conversation, Dr. MEI succinctly uttered words that surprised Virvi, who nodded after a moment.
"Ah... I see."
They knew about MEI's idea, and in fact, the idea was unanimously agreed upon by all three of them.
Originally, after the disappearance of 'Alicia', they planned to use the Fourth Herrscher to complete this task—to give the Fourth Herrscher some freedom, and then give each country enough deterrence to force them to face the Honkai, thereby increasing the voice of the Firemoth and making it easier to allocate and concentrate resources.
The only problem with this approach is that, because the Fourth Herrscher is uncontrollable, it is difficult for them to strike a balance.
