Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Kiana was speechless as she looked at the sky.

She had just given the order not to build new hospital wards, and now it was snowing on her?

Fortunately, Kiana could see that the snow was just the outer layer of the Herrscher of Ice. It wouldn't last long. She'd just consider it a fireworks display for the patients.

"Being the heir is too hard. Why do I have to manage all these messy people? I even have to come out for disaster relief, and this disaster was caused by that damned, incompetent tyrant. So wicked! Truly wicked! No! I must catch some bad guys and kill a few to vent my anger and appease my people!"

Kiana was indignant. She fumed at the thought of Noldrei dumping all these miscellaneous tasks on her.

The girl had completely forgotten that she had also dumped a rabbit-eared girl at home.

At this moment, Cocolia and Raiden Ryoma were also looking up at the sky.

Their heads were filled with confusion. Although they had long held the basic concept that Herrschers couldn't beat a man from the future, this Herrscher-on-a-snow-cone-machine spectacle was a bit too much.

"This... new Herrscher is a bit... too useless, isn't she? We did manage to draw out a new Herrscher by increasing the Honkai Energy concentration according to plan, but this new Herrscher seems completely incompetent."

Raiden Ryoma was a seasoned old Teletubby who had seen a lot, but the way the Fifth Herrscher was being executed still shocked him.

"Is it possible that His Majesty the Emperor and Dr. Tesla are just too strong?"

Cocolia retorted. She was actually addressing Tesla as "Doctor"?!

It was clear that the scene of the Herrscher of Ice being tortured had truly frightened her.

Raiden Ryoma complained, "The gap is just too big! We're all Herrschers, you should at least last three to five rounds, right? To be hung up on a light tube and beaten from the start, she looks like a small-time street thug."

"Your complaining is almost on par with your daughter's," Cocolia praised him rarely, because she thought so too.

"If I had known, I would have found a way to make my daughter the Herrscher of Thunder," Raiden Ryoma regretted. If Raiden Mei had controlled such powerful strength, wouldn't he be able to walk all over the Earth?

Tesla can create a SELENE engine out of thin air with her Herrscher abilities. Your daughter just wraps lightning around her sword and hacks at people. How can their levels be the same?

Cocolia said with a hint of mockery, "Raiden Ryoma, from now on, don't interfere with your daughter's education. I'm afraid you'll get Raiden Mei killed."

Raiden Ryoma was stunned by the mockery.

He changed the subject. "Now that we've drawn out the new Herrscher, are we considered successful? Or not?"

"Of course, we're successful. It's just that some people are afraid we haven't succeeded."

Cocolia was in a cheerful mood. She knew that some people, like her, must have wanted to use the new Herrscher. This meant that these people still didn't fully understand the upper limits of Noldrei's abilities.

Well, now they did. Dr. Tesla had shown those hiding in the dark what a true Herrscher should be doing.

Heliopolis Life Sciences was currently making a fortune. Jackal wished Gray Serpent would create even more crises.

She loved to profit from the empire's misfortunes.

"Thanks to the correct leadership of the Board of Directors, we have been able to vigorously develop biotechnology during this crisis. We must pay our taxes on time and bring better economic benefits to His Majesty the Emperor. By the way, we can also collect more genetic information from Academy City, so that we can have our own moat in the future genetic city defense construction!"

Jackal was rallying her company's employees, promising to give everyone the latest Stigma battlesuit as a year-end bonus.

Everyone was fired up with enthusiasm for their work, deeply feeling the greatness of His Majesty the Emperor.

Where could they find so many Honkai patients to experiment on before? Not to mention, once you got the Honkai sickness, you were done for in no time.

Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor's Stigma battlesuits and the promotion of preservation organs, these new humans had a chance to survive and develop.

It also allowed the staff of Heliopolis Life Sciences to witness more Honkai factors combined with human genes.

What was this? This was an achievement only possible thanks to His Majesty's grace.

If it weren't for the fear of that master behind World Serpent suddenly appearing, Jackal would have wanted to jump ship and join Noldrei.

Whether the Previous Era was strong or not was another matter, but Dr. Tesla was truly strong.

Not to be outdone, Jackal immediately raised the banner of human civilization development, holding high the great banner of reviving human civilization.

A perfectly good company rally had completely turned into a praise session for the Board of Directors. There were no reporters or secret police present, so it was unclear why Miss Jackal was trying so hard to curry favor.

But Miss Jackal wasn't just making empty promises.

Her philosophy was "as long as the salary is paid on time, human civilization is invincible." Otto's talk of ideals and dedication could only deceive naive Valkyries.

Anyone older, like Professor Magi, would just leave when they wanted to.

A villainous organization was all about combining interests and ideals.

Jackal's rally was very successful, and Raven had been watching her performance for a long time.

Raven was furious. She had faced a Herrscher in battle for so long. It was a matter of life and death, yet the bonus she received wasn't even enough to buy a small deserted island.

The content in those novels was all lies. Urban XX, Urban Playboy XX, all saying that if you want to make money fast, you should be an assassin.

You could earn so much just by killing a human, and she, Raven, had gone to face a Herrscher directly!

Then Raven watched as these scientific researchers raked in money hand over fist. Just by selling the special cure for the Honkai sickness, they could live a life of luxury for the rest of their days.

This made Raven begin to wonder if being taken in and raised by Gray Serpent was a mistake.

Maybe... I should also take bribes and sell some of World Serpent's intelligence to the Board of Directors for some cash?

If nothing else, a 700,000-square-meter island in the Far East starts at around 600,000. I could earn that much just by selling a little bit of information.

Raven calculated in her heart how much she had been skimmed off of over the years. The more she thought about it, the more bitter she felt.

After years of being a mercenary, she had received so little pay.

How could this make Raven serve World Serpent? How could this make Raven offer her loyalty to World Serpent?

Raven even began to wonder if there was something wrong with the world.

Even the Board of Directors was paying a high price of $140,000 for someone's genetic information with Honkai resistance, and this price was constantly increasing with the scarcity of individuals with special Honkai resistance.

You can sell blood for such a high price... then... I...

Raven did a quick calculation in her head of the size of the children she had adopted who had special antibodies. She found that if they all sold a batch of blood together, they could get a private island.

But then she felt guilty for her dark thoughts.

Natasha, oh Natasha, how could you have fallen so low?! You're a monster!
