"very good."
"Then let the game begin!"
"Let's play a game: Guess if I'll kill you? How about that? Isn't it exciting and fun?"
"If I guess wrong, I'll kill you right now!"
At this moment, General Gesar's mentality began to crumble.
What the hell is this game?!
Although the game "Wendy" had somewhat broken him, Gesar still harbored a sliver of hope, clinging to the fear within him and the last remaining glimmer of hope that perhaps if he answered correctly, the other party wouldn't kill him.
So, he braced himself and said:
"meeting."
"Oh dear, Wendy lost."
"now that..."
He wanted to say, "Now that you've lost, shouldn't you let me go?"
But before he could even finish speaking, Gesar was instantly annihilated and reduced to ashes by the terrifying air currents.
"Even though I lost, you didn't win either~"
With an incredibly flamboyant and unrestrained smile, 'Wendy' looked extremely sinister at this moment.
The next moment, the girl reached out and caught that tiny speck of dust that was moving with the airflow.
"Seriously, don't make fun of others."
[Wendy] seemed to be talking to herself, lecturing in a somewhat impatient manner.
The latter—a voice in his heart retorted with dissatisfaction:
"What does it matter? He's not a good person anyway!"
This is Wendy!
—At the moment of the nuclear explosion, Wendy used a similar method to deal with Parfana, sacrificing herself as well. Of course... calling her a sacrifice is more like calling her a fusion material.
By fusing [Wendy], Wendy, and the Herrscher of Wind core from the fourth Divine Key, and supplementing it with a portion of the Primal Power, the cocoon is connected.
The result is Jiang Qiao's current state.
—Wendy with shed feathers!
That fantasy that originally existed next door was supported by the Honkai energy of the Herrscher of the End, which was partly linked to the Primal Power. At the same time, three identical powers were superimposed and sublimated, resulting in this absolute power that can be called the number one person below the End.
Like Black Seele, Wendy's consciousness, having lost her physical body, became part of this ultimate form Wendy as the Herrscher core merged with her.
Having just completed her metamorphosis and still adjusting and adapting, Jiang Qiao, who was in a corner, hadn't had time to control this completely different mecha, which gave Green Hope the opportunity to experience the power of this new mecha.
—Although the power still applies to the manipulation of the ideal fluid in the same way as before.
But at this moment, as a complete Herrscher of Wind, [Wendy of the Fallen], who possesses some of the Honkai energy of the Herrscher of the End, has the same level of ideal fluid manipulation as the Herrscher of the End.
The effect that previously required some time to achieve can now be accomplished instantly with just a thought, and its intensity is hundreds of times greater than before.
What would have taken the Herrscher of Flame of the previous civilization a week to burn down the Australian continent, Jiang himself could do in just a few minutes!
However, because it uses the same trickery as when Bronya was used to deal with Chi You, this disruptive power also has a time limit.
Peak output can only be maintained for one minute. After one minute, the route for calling Honkai energy established by part of the Primordial Authority in the Cocoon will be cut off by the Cocoon in time.
If you want to use it again, you'll have to rebuild it—which takes at least a day.
However, even without the cocoon providing energy, that power was still close to the ultimate level.
Even with the superposition of three identical Herrscher powers, Wendy can still reach an energy level of 3whw.
In other words, 'she' has surpassed the peak of the six-core pufferfish.
"Is this also the core of the Herrscher?"
Although she didn't have control over her body, Jiang Qiao didn't restrict Wendy's perception of the outside world. She looked at the shimmering crystal in Jiang Qiao's hand, which was as fine as sand, with great curiosity.
"Yes."
"What kind of Herrscher is it? Can we use it?"
Wendy, who was focused on the core, had many questions. After experiencing the pleasure of the three-in-one combination, she was quite envious of the Herrscher powers possessed by other Herrschers.
"This is—the core of the Law of Domination."
"It's useless now."
As the girl spoke, she crushed the tiny crystal with her tightly clenched index finger.
He could no longer sense any Herrscher power from this crystal, and even Honkai energy was extremely scarce.
The core is now just a grain of sand.
—It's meaningless.
Wendy lowered her hand and chuckled:
"It really was those rats who did this."
—Attack the little bird, force Wendy to become Herrscher of Reason, and then have the Herrscher of Reason kill the little bird on the spot, and then things get out of control.
Look at this approach. Just from the sequence of events he learned from MEI and Alicia, he could already tell what was going on—isn't this kind of despicable tactic exactly what the Herrscher of Domination loves?
Only a Herrscher of Domination who can see into people's hearts to a certain extent can know the situation between Totori and Wendy and then make arrangements accordingly.
If he wasn't mistaken, those bastards must have initially planned to kill three birds with one stone.
Drive Wendy insane with Totori, then use Wendy to kill Alicia.
However, the Herrscher of Domination did not anticipate that, with the help of the backup plan left by [Alicia], Wendy actually managed to resist the control of the Herrscher's consciousness and fly directly away from New Zealand.
So they could only continue with their plan—to lure Wendy to Tonga and prepare a decisive battleground for Alicia, who might come to attack Wendy.
It's a pity that Jiang Qiao didn't use [Alicia], but [Wendy].
Of course, this does not hinder the actions of the Heralds of Domination.
Although they were unaware of the connection between Alicia and Wendy, the Herrschers didn't care who it was that was the one who got killed, as long as it was a hindrance or a threat.
Under the layers of scheming and manipulation, even the three giants of the Fire Chaser were thoroughly outmaneuvered by these rats.
"Those bad guys, Wendy will kill them all!"
Wendy also learned the reason behind this and gritted her teeth in anger.
It's one thing to lay a hand on her, but to actually lay a hand on Totori!
If she weren't currently out of control of her body, Miss Green Seele would probably have already turned on her hunting mode.
"Then you'll probably have to find them first."
The girl sighed.
Compared to other Herrschers, the most troublesome aspect of the Herrscher of Domination is not its strength; on the contrary, this Herrscher's power is the weakest among all Herrschers, and it would not be a match for any true Herrscher in a head-on confrontation.
That troublesome characteristic of the Ruler of Domination—its ability to break down into smaller units and lurk among the crowd, making it difficult to find—is what makes it so troublesome.
The previous era of development was ruined by these rats in the shadows, causing people's hearts to break and their morality to decline. Even within the Fire Moth, everyone was in danger. The final situation of the Thirteen Fire Moths and the tragedy of Bell were all thanks to this Herrscher.
To make people unable to trust each other, to remove laughter from humanity, to treat people like puppets on strings, to be manipulated at will—this is domination.
Jiang Qiao had considered the possibility of two Herrschers appearing at the same time, or the Herrscher skipping a level.
After all, the questions for the Cocoon Exit exam were constantly changing. Mu Continent wanted to retreat into the Sea of Quanta, so the Ninth Herrscher sent the entire continent into it. The Tenth Herrscher exacerbated the divisions within the community, and the Eleventh Herrscher wiped out the fusion warriors of the Flame Chaser in one fell swoop...
If the cocoon believes that it needs to be that way now, then the so-called order no longer matters.
He wasn't Prometheus who threw himself into the game, although he did use a similar trick to nail down the cocoon's exam paper, preventing the cocoon from changing all the original questions to other questions.
But the cocoon is the one who sets the exam questions. It wants to adjust the order of the questions and, within a certain range, the content of the questions. This is something that even the power of origin cannot interfere with.
"Another fleet is approaching."
As she pondered, Wendy, sensing something through her wind senses, looked up and gazed in a certain direction.
This fleet is...very large.
—The destroyer fleet led by Gesar was actually just a vanguard force to scout out the environment of the naval exercise area in advance.
Composed of five carrier strike groups belonging to North America and one fleet belonging to Europe, this massive joint naval force represents the majority of the maritime forces led by North America.
This is the real strength that North American powers are showing off to flex their muscles and reap the rewards.
They have now received Gesar's report:
—The target sea area is not threatened.
Chapter 145 Don't Abandon Me Again!
The commanders of the alliance were unusually cheerful—the sea was rough, but much calmer than before. This sign of calm meant that the culprit behind this terrible weather had been eliminated.
"I really hope this damn military exercise ends soon." The fleet commanders gathered together, and the commander of the alliance led by the North American forces smoked his rather old-fashioned brass pipe, puffing out clouds of smoke while complaining.
