A slightly helpless tone came from the girl's mouth, revealing the reality she had come to realize.
Unlike the Honkai consciousness, the Cocoon is not a being with a clear individual consciousness, but it carries the mission of testing civilization and will adjust the test questions appropriately according to the situation in the test room.
However, even the cocoon was helpless because when it was proctoring the exam, the examiner it sent, the 'Herrscher,' actually went to help the examinee.
And unlike in later generations, the examiner who went there was 'Origin', a high-level administrator.
Although this is within the permitted scope.
The fact that humans can persuade examiners to become their help is simply a way of answering questions, and it doesn't violate any rules.
But Keko couldn't just stand by and watch her senior administrator block the monster-spawning gate; that wouldn't be a trial at all—like the Second and Third Herrschers before her, [Alicia] alone could easily kill all the other examiners who appeared.
In order to better conduct the trial, the Cocoon, who had been tricked by someone, had no choice but to use a method that had been used in the current civilization—adjusting the specific properties of the Herrscher while keeping the framework unchanged.
Unlike the original Herrschers of the previous civilization, the puppets of later generations were given the power-grabbing skills precisely because of the Herrschers' betrayal. Even the characteristics of that puppet and the selection of the mob were all designed to prevent the Herrschers from cheating by recognizing their own kind at a glance, or even from being persuaded.
But these things are meaningless against the Primordial Laws.
Aside from the puppet strings and the difficulty in persuading others, as long as [Alicia] catches a wooden doll or enters the Domination Theater, Jiang Qiao can directly follow the clues and take them all down.
Left with no other choice, Cocoon could only create this new version of the Herrscher of Domination to deal with the 'Herrscher of Origin'.
There are no imaginary singularities, and even the Honkai energy is only a few scattered bits—there aren't even any vines, so how can you touch it?
"...We'll take the time to study these things later."
MEI frowned. Although she couldn't fully understand the nature of the Ruler of Domination for the time being, she nodded after receiving an affirmative answer.
Even if to her senses it was just worthless sand—but 'Alicia' wouldn't deceive them.
"I'll have to trouble you with Wendy's matter as well."
Jiang Qiao extracted Wendy's core and the core of the 'Fourth Divine Key', and with the help of a portion of the authority of truth, he also reshaped a new body for the former.
This is a very necessary measure. After all, the Fourth Divine Key cannot function properly without the Herrscher Core. In terms of tools, Dr. MEI and the others also need the assistance of this powerful satellite.
Wendy's body will definitely be switched back later, and it would be troublesome to keep Wendy in it again. Besides, Wendy doesn't want to leave the little bird.
Moreover, the power of molting is not so wonderful; although powerful, it is also a significant threat to humans.
Jiang Qiaoyong is good at knowing how to use things properly, but if it falls into the hands of a fool who doesn't know how to use things properly, the whole world will suffer.
"You really gave me a difficult problem."
MEI sighed.
As the Fourth Herrscher, Wendy's proper handling is no easy task. Although Jiang Qiao can make Wendy like her by extracting the core, and no survivors were left in that sea area, it is clear that the Herrschers of Domination hiding in the shadows cannot fail to recognize her existence.
If she were to join the Fire Moth, her identity would be exposed, and the consequences would be quite severe... Of course, there are also advantages; she would have another reliable person by her side, just like Sakura.
"Don't worry, the body I prepared for her has been specially modified. With a slight change in hairstyle and clothes, no one will recognize her. Besides... that body is a genuine human."
Jiang Qiao certainly couldn't have been unaware of this problem. Instead of leaving it to someone else to solve, he handled it himself.
Wendy is now a completely ordinary person. Even if a Herrscher of Domination recognizes her, the results from existing human instruments would be no different from those from Alicia.
The drawback is that the power of the Herrscher cannot be fully utilized unless the Wind Core is retrieved.
This is also the limitation of the authority of truth. Theoretically, the body replicated by this power can only be the original body, that is, the body after the law is applied. In order to be safe, Jiang Qiao can only use the original power to make it closer to human to a certain extent by extracting the power of the herald. If he had the ability of the herald of life and death to reconstruct the genetic blueprint, he might be able to do better.
"Alright, let's add her to the fourth squad of the Firemoth. I'll also transfer Totori to headquarters later."
MEI nodded happily.
If it were a normal personnel change, Totori should have left the Fourth Research Department in New Zealand and merged into the Ninth Research Department in Mu Continent, or returned to the Eighth Research Department in her homeland, Shenzhou. However, considering the presence of the Herrscher of Domination, it would be better to bring her back to headquarters and keep her by one's side for safety reasons.
"Are you leaving again?"
"Ah."
"What, could it be that you can't bear to part with me?"
The girl smiled and teased the intellectual woman in front of her with a slightly flirtatious tone.
MEI said somewhat irritably:
"No, it's just that we'll have a lot of trouble without you."
Although Alicia is a much more bossy and 'annoying' type than Alicia, she is really reliable as a teammate.
As for Alicia...
Why don't we use cherry blossoms?
"Seriously, if Alicia heard that, she'd really cry, wouldn't she?"
"I think she's quite reliable too."
Jiang Qiao chuckled, having caught the unspoken meaning in the words.
"Hmm, they might indeed be quite reliable as someone to chat with in your spare time."
Only magician Vilvie agreed with this.
As for the other two, do they really have any free time?
"Before you leave, go see Alicia first. She might get angry if you leave without saying a word."
"Ah."
Although it could be done through a chat group, the girl pondered the suggestion for a moment and felt it would be better to meet her in person. After all, for some reason, the pink-haired fat woman seemed to harbor a deep resentment towards her.
With Wendy's capture, the Fourth Honkai Impact 3rd is essentially coming to an end. All that's left is for the Firemoth forces to clear out the spawning Honkai Beasts and then use the Fourth Divine Key to adjust the environment in New Zealand.
However, the previous civilization could not afford to relax, since the threat of the Herrscher of Domination remained in the shadows.
Since there's no way for Mr. Jiang Qiao to help them cheat their way through this level, Dr. MEI and her team need to research the specifics of the new Herrscher of Domination. Only by accurately understanding the attributes of this new Herrscher of Domination can Jiang Qiao find a starting point to solve the problem.
certainly--
There is good news too.
The appearance of the Herrscher of Domination is certainly a disaster, but its existence, in addition to causing people's hearts to collapse, will also cause the ruling class's power to decline sharply - just like before, there are even Herrschers of Domination among the higher-ups of the Moth of Fire.
While this may put Dr. MEI and her colleagues, who are the future management team, in a difficult situation, the original ruling class will definitely be the first to suffer.
By then, the Fire-Chasing Moths can gradually expand their influence, replacing those nations with their own agendas and becoming the leader of humanity in the fight against the Honkai forces.
Thinking about these things, she used the remaining Herrscher powers of [Wendy] to fly to the camp where Dr. MEI had mentioned, where Alicia and Hen were located.
After the destruction of Parvati, all that remained for them was the task of clearing out the enemy and rescuing civilians who might not have been able to evacuate in time.
"Jiang... Jiang Qiao is wicked!"
Upon seeing Wendy's appearance, Alicia's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of joy, and she even had the urge to hug her—after all, Jiang was still wearing that feathered outfit, only the Honkai runes had all disappeared, but for the fat lady who liked pretty girls, it was already quite lethal.
Unfortunately, her 'lustful' heart couldn't overcome her resentment in the end, and the fat lady pouted and puffed out her cheeks before changing her words back to her usual title.
She was very angry!
They went to Wellington together, but after Pavlina was dealt with, when he went back to find the bad guy, he learned from Mei that 'she' had already left to do something else.
Damn it, what kind of person is it to abandon me all by myself!
"Don't leave me alone again next time. At least tell me before you leave!"
"Ah."
"Really."
Looking at the smiling girl who agreed, Alicia bit her pink lips, somewhat dissatisfied.
Acting so compliant makes it seem like I, Ellie, am throwing a tantrum!
As expected, Jiang Qiao is wicked!
The chubby lady, clinging to Wendy's shoulders, thought to herself, while inhaling the scent...it was quite pleasant. After shedding her feathers, Wendy's original scent seemed to have changed somewhat. However, as Miss Alicia internally chuckled, the thought that this was actually another girl's body...
...It doesn't seem like it's impossible?
She was dissatisfied that the wicked Jiang Qiao had used another girl's body, but she also felt that the other girl's body was great, and that the wicked Jiang Qiao was still inside... Damn it, this must be the wicked Jiang Qiao's problem!
"What about the child?"
"Who... Oh, the child you saved? He's with Hen... I even talked about him when I was chatting with Hen."
"By the way, speaking of this child..."
Just as Jiang was guiltily preparing to slip away, the girl's words, though tinged with resentment, still rang in his ears:
"—Do you have any leads on that child running away as soon as he sees me? You naughty Jiang Qiao~"
Chapter 146 This Herrscher's power is truly wonderful.
He used Ellie's body to cause trouble and made her take the blame by putting her in solitary confinement, while he was having fun with other girls. He even refused requests from beautiful and charming girls like Ellie who came to him.
