After Kiana contacted Noldrei, she witnessed a shocking scene.
Behind Noldrei, "Vita" was trembling, hugging herself with a strange look of fear, like a virtuous woman who had just been wronged.
Although Kiana knew it was a bit strange to use the term "virtuous woman" to describe Sa, in her eyes, Sa really did look like someone who had just had something strange done to them.
"What are you doing?!"
Kiana was taken aback, completely unable to understand what Noldrei had done to Sa.
"It's nothing. I just asked her to let me study how to create agents and how to control their permissions, so I can see how to utilize the energy in the Sea of Quanta."
Noldrei was very calm about it. He had also taken the opportunity to test Sa. Since she was now in his hands, she naturally wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
"A Herrscher has appeared at home! You need to come back and take a look! That woman you brought back suddenly became a Herrscher, and she's mastered a power we can't understand."
Kiana's words still managed to surprise Noldrei.
He wasn't surprised that the Cocoon of Finality had acted, nor was he surprised by the appearance of a Herrscher that the Previous Era hadn't anticipated.
Rather, he was surprised that a woman who had been floating in the Sea of Quanta for so long still had some kind of pain that the Cocoon of Finality could exploit.
"Tell me slowly. Shigure Kira has been corrupted by the Honkai and become a Herrscher? What kind of abilities is she showing?"
Noldrei wasn't in a hurry. After all, he had already modified Shigure Kira's body in the Sea of Quanta. It would be very difficult to create a new Herrscher consciousness in her through simple Honkai corruption.
"I don't know, but it looks a bit like Seele's ability from the Sea of Quanta, but it also seems to be from a similar source as Sa's power. Anyway, Benares is having a hard time fighting her right now. I've already notified Dr. Tesla to go support her."
Kiana had also been through many battles. From her position in the rear, she knew how to handle such special situations.
Shigure Kira had already manifested an Imaginary Singularity, which meant that a Herrscher Core had formed in her body. It was just that no one knew what authority that core held.
Because the authority of a Herrscher Core was highly tied to the level of civilization's development, it meant that if the Cocoon created a new core, the new Herrscher born from the current level of civilization would definitely be completely different from the past ones.
It might even far surpass the power of the Previous Era's Herrschers.
'It's a pity that every Herrscher is limited by Honkai Energy, even Finality is no exception... It would be very interesting if the Cocoon of Finality could create a Herrscher it couldn't control.'
Noldrei really wanted to know if the Will of the Honkai truly had its own thoughts, even after knowing about the Prometheus backdoor that the Previous Era had infiltrated into it.
He had a mystery in his heart that he couldn't solve.
And that was the origin of the Cocoon.
In Noldrei's era, humanity had no rivals; humanity's only rival was itself. Even after seeing so-called parallel worlds, even after leaving the solar system and entering the galactic universe, there was still no life that could compare to humanity.
But the humans of this world were different; they were clearly very weak in the universe.
The existence of the Cocoon made Noldrei wonder if other humanoid lifeforms had known about the future development of Earth's humans in advance and created something like this to keep humanity in a cycle of civilizational restarts.
"Don't worry for now. Since the Cocoon of Finality has already taken the initiative to act, we might as well have a good chat with its apostle. I don't know what happened to Shigure Kira, but it seems the blow she received during the Second Honkai Eruption was bigger than we imagined. If necessary, you can try to contact her in the form of Cecilia."
Noldrei's arrangement made Kiana a little dizzy. Could she, in her current state, really play the part of her mother?
"Can I do it? I can pretend to be my mom for a short time, but if I'm exposed, won't it cause even more trouble?"
Kiana was still wondering if she could play Cecilia well, but Noldrei's next words cut off her fantasy.
"I never expected you to be able to play Cecilia well. You can borrow the White Tower Network from Sirin and temporarily use the memories of the Android Cecilia. That way, you can play Cecilia well in front of Shigure Kira."
"Besides, Shigure Kira's current situation can't be saved by a single Cecilia. I've already arranged for Durandal to go back. She will be in charge of handling things on your side. When the time comes, you can use Abyss Flower to test the new Herrscher's abilities."
Hearing that Noldrei had already arranged for the follow-up, Kiana complained, "Then why not just let Durandal handle it? Didn't she also get Herrscher powers? Isn't the power of the Herrscher of Origin very strong? Don't tell me you already predicted this would happen?"
Noldrei thought Kiana was being silly. Did he really need to predict something like this in advance?
Hasn't the Cocoon of Finality always been using human skins to create Herrschers? As long as there was the slightest possibility, it would definitely turn humans into anti-humanity Herrschers.
"How could I predict it so accurately? Even now, I don't have the ability to pinpoint who will become a Herrscher. The reason Shigure Kira became a Herrscher is because she chose this path herself. I still have some things to do here. You should arrange for someone to make sure Shigure Kira doesn't run away."
After saying that, Noldrei cut off the communication. He still had to deal with Sa's problem.
There weren't many people who could watch over Sa right now. Besides Durandal, Kevin, and the others from the Previous Era, only Noldrei himself could make Sa obey.
Kiana was very annoyed at being cut off like that. She really didn't know what authority Shigure Kira had obtained. If she ran away, it would probably be very difficult to find this Herrscher again.
'Shigure Kira, Snow Wolf Squad... Hmm, what a hassle.'
Kiana was very clear about her own situation. Not only was there the problem of the Snow Wolf Squad, but there were also many problems with K423 and the Valkyrie Assault Squad.
'Should I be glad that Sirin was so ruthless back then and killed them all so cleanly?'
She gave a bitter laugh. Thinking of her own unlucky identity, she could at least wield her blade against the old members of Schicksal without any scruples.
K423's identity naturally gave her the supreme moral high ground when facing Schicksal.
Even Rita didn't dare to pursue the death of Ragnar Lodbrok when facing her and Sirin. Not to mention that the Snow Wolf Squad was led by Cecilia in the first place.
'Why should I have to deal with the trouble you bastards left behind?'
Kiana had no choice but to connect to Sirin's communication. She still had to ask Sirin for temporary permission to use the White Tower Network.
