"Elder Konpeito, Elder Konpeito... run... run..."
Shigure Kira had transformed into a small, fluffy, ball-shaped creature.
Before her was a space as sweet as a candy house, a place that seemed to be filled with pastries.
But at this moment, Shigure Kira looked extremely disheveled. She had just had two large holes poked in her by Durandal over the Pacific Ocean in the Eigen-universe.
After the fierce battle, Shigure Kira knew she had no chance of defeating the Herrschers of the Eigen-world.
To be precise, she knew she couldn't defeat the humans of the current civilization who had usurped the authority of Finality.
Although Shigure Kira's mind had been filled with a lot of combat knowledge the moment she obtained the Herrscher authority, and for a period of time after that, she had shown the same attitude as other Herrschers.
That is, she was quite arrogant.
Now, after Durandal's careful education, her inflated ego had quickly deflated, and she herself remembered that there was still a very important thing she hadn't done.
And that was to quickly report back to her alien friends.
After observing the current Eigen-world, Shigure Kira had come to a rather disheartening conclusion. If her alien friends entered the human world, they would likely be eaten without a single scrap left.
"You... Shigure... oh dear..."
Elder Konpeito saw the miserably returned Shigure Kira and immediately sighed.
"You..."
The old man was indeed more experienced. The moment he saw Shigure Kira return, he sensed that something was wrong. At this time, his instinct was to quickly initiate a warp jump and leave the current coordinates.
Because Shigure Kira had even lost the "Sugar Molass" that was with her, which meant that "Sugar Molass" had either been captured or had already sacrificed itself in battle.
At this time, Elder Konpeito could only guess at the worst-case scenario, which was that "Sugar Molass" had really been captured and controlled, and that the current coordinates of the Candy House had been obtained.
And there was a high probability that Shigure Kira had been deliberately released to act as bait.
"Silly child, run quickly, everyone run quickly!"
Elder Konpeito no longer cared about Shigure Kira who had just returned, and he didn't even have the heart to scold her. He was so terrified that he immediately shouted for everyone to run.
The Candy House civilization itself wasn't very powerful, otherwise they wouldn't have been forced to flee to the Sea of Quanta because of the Honkai.
Elder Konpeito had started fleeing when their civilization was invaded by the Sky People. Back then, the Sky People had used a similar trick, which was just "throwing a stone to find the way."
However, for Shigure Kira to be able to return in such a miserable state, there must be someone behind her who had turned her into the stone for finding the way.
This silly girl probably didn't think too much.
After losing "Sugar Molass," she didn't report back immediately. Missing that window of opportunity and then having the chance to return clearly meant something was wrong.
With more experience in running away, Elder Konpeito had also developed his own set of identification methods.
Shigure Kira hadn't expected to face such a chaotic situation upon her return. Her mind was still in a daze.
Before she obtained the power of the Honkai, she didn't even have the ability to return.
"Sigh, Shigure, run quickly. If you don't run now, it'll be too late."
After saying that, Elder Konpeito prepared to pack his luggage and flee.
But at this time, it was too late to say anything. After obtaining "Sugar Molass," Noldrei already knew where Shigure Kira would go after she fled.
This girl couldn't be said to be simple, only that she didn't understand the darkness of the human heart well enough.
If it were Overseer Otto, the Lord Overseer would definitely have used his professional "you fight your way, I fight mine" method to deal with Noldrei's fishing skills.
Except for the matter of resurrecting Kallen with the Imaginary Tree, which could make the Overseer admit defeat, Noldrei's other plans had mostly been intercepted by Overseer Otto for the greatest benefits.
Noldrei had once hoped that there was a legendary fusion ability in the world, so that Old Yang and Otto could fuse and combine their strengths.
That way, it wouldn't be necessary for Kiana to take on the role of the Mother of Stigmata.
"I didn't expect it to be like this here..."
Noldrei bent down slightly and then transformed into an existence the same size as these "Konpeito" candies. Beside him was the already exhausted and dying Shigure Kira.
She had also transformed into a Konpeito-like appearance. There were even image-like accessories on her body, such as anime-style cross-shaped bandages, indicating that she was severely injured.
"The Candy House is really a candy house. I didn't expect this place to be filled with pastries and candy. Why did you design it like this?"
Shigure Kira looked at the suddenly appeared Noldrei in terror.
She couldn't even fight Durandal, let alone Noldrei, who had already touched the Imaginary Tree. This guy had used Otto as a vanguard while he reaped the greatest benefits created by the Overseer.
The current Noldrei had already skillfully mastered both Imaginary Energy and Honkai Energy.
"Elder Konpeito, you guys run, I'll find a way to hold him off!"
Shigure Kira was still emotionally agitated and had not yet calmed down.
Noldrei looked at her with a strange expression. If this girl hadn't used her newly acquired Herrscher ability to warp, how could he have so easily followed her trail?
Elder Konpeito also hadn't expected the "enemy" to arrive so quickly.
They didn't even have a chance to escape. If this continued, let alone running away, they would probably be taken down along with their home.
"This friend, if Shigure has done anything wrong, please give us a chance to talk."
Noldrei immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, she didn't do anything wrong. You don't have to be so agitated. This is just the result of internal conflicts within the Earth's human civilization. There's nothing right or wrong to discuss. And I didn't come here to fight you. At least, if I had that attitude, I don't think this 'Sugar Molass' would have left Shigure Kira and accepted me, right?"
As Noldrei spoke, he brought out a character that Elder Konpeito was familiar with.
"Sugar Molass," or as Shigure Kira called it, "Niggurath," had not yet fully recovered her consciousness.
She could only maintain the lowest level of biological awareness, barely able to distinguish between good and bad intentions.
At least Noldrei's attitude made Elder Konpeito heave a sigh of relief. He almost thought that Shigure Kira was going to bring a very terrifying enemy.
He didn't expect to see a "trustworthy"? human after so many years.
Elder Konpeito repeatedly sighed with emotion in his heart at his civilization's good luck.
