Chapter 74: I Am the Storm!
"To actually use a person as a vessel! What does the Schicksal in the movie think life is? A tool?" Kevin, who had long been dissatisfied with the Schicksal in the movie, said indignantly.
"The darkness of human nature is terrifying, and the people of the Oceania branch are the most foolish," MEI said rationally. "After having gone through three Great Eruptions and knowing that Herrschers are born from humans, they still dare to keep a Herrscher core inside a person's body. They're truly not afraid of creating a new Herrscher."
"Perhaps the Fourth Herrscher has already been born," Mobius said, looking at Wendy on the screen and remembering that Himeko had said the Oceania branch had already experienced a large-scale eruption a day before their arrival.
"They really don't learn their lesson," Su shook his head. Even with Sirin as a precedent, Schicksal's researchers were still so crazy, never caring about the mental state of their test subjects.
"Could it be that this is also part of that Overseer Otto's plan?" Elysia guessed.
"I'm afraid so," Eden concurred.
Yaqing looked around. Sometimes, watching a movie alone was quite helpless.
No, did you all guess it?
Why don't you guys be the scriptwriters then?
Yaqing made up his mind. Next time, he would absolutely not sit with these people. He would rather go sit with Shigure Kira and the others.
[Bronya's unusually concerned attitude towards Wendy arouses Mei's and Kiana's curiosity.
Amidst Kiana's teasing, Bronya explains that in a past experiment, her own legs were also injured. She was in a wheelchair for a long time and could only rely on this exoskeleton to regain the ability to walk.
"So cool! Big Sis Bronya, does that mean Wendy can also recover one day?" Wendy looks at Bronya with admiration.
Bronya comforts Wendy, saying that she definitely will.
"Big Sis Bronya is so gentle."]
Seele, having just comforted the child, hears this line in the movie. Instantly, her other self starts to stir trouble again, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Big Sis Bronya is so gentle~~"
Snap. The candy in Seele's hand breaks.
The child cries out again. "This isn't the usual Big Sis Seele!"
Seele has to start comforting him again.
[Bronya calls Himeko and asks if there's a way to remove the Honkai energy crystal from Wendy after they return to St. Freya Academy.
Himeko says there is no such possibility because the Gem of Desire can only remain stable inside Wendy's body. If it's removed, the crystal cannot be preserved.
"Then just throw that crystal away!" Kiana naively believes that in the minds of Schicksal's researchers, a young girl's happiness is more important than the need for the Gem of Desire.
Himeko retorts by asking Kiana if it's okay for the powerful Honkai energy contained within the Gem of Desire to be released, which could instantly destroy several cities.
"But..."
Kiana still wants to argue for Wendy, but Wendy interrupts her.
"Miss Kiana, please don't say any more. I've long accepted it."
Wendy's tone trembles.
"As a Valkyrie, my duty is to save more people with my own life... this is my... duty..."
As they are about to board the Hyperion.
"Wendy, the Bronya is very sorry..." Bronya's tone is a little down.
"No, Big Sis Bronya is not at fault," Wendy slowly opens her eyes. Her tone is strangely relaxed, and even more playful.
"The detector is picking up a Honkai energy reaction. Is it the reaction from the Gem of Desire inside Wendy?" Himeko asks.
The next second, Himeko's tone becomes urgent. "Wait, the reaction's intensity is continuously increasing! 1500HW... 2000HW! What's happening!"
Wendy, in her wheelchair, begins to glow with a green light. Her tone is vicious. "2000HW, you say... that should be enough to destroy the Hyperion in one shot, right!"
"Miss Wendy, you... what are you saying?!" Mei can't believe the gentle Wendy from just now would say such things.
"A bunch of hypocrites. I hate you. I hate all of you," Wendy's previously gentle demeanor vanishes completely. Her face is twisted in a crazed, wild smile. "I wish I could kill you all! Hmph heh heh hahahaha!!!"
Wendy is lifted into the air by a gust of wind. Her glowing green eyes look down at the trio of Kiana below. A pair of transparent green wings sprouts from her back, and an incomplete Herrscher battlesuit forms on her body.
"This energy reaction, could it be... Wendy, you've unleashed the power of the Gem of Desire. Or perhaps... you've been controlled by the Honkai will within the crystal."
On the Hyperion, Himeko watches the transmitted image. She bites her right thumb nervously, trying to keep her tone calm.]
"No surprise there," Mobius had guessed it long ago. In fact, anyone who saw the movie poster could probably guess that Wendy would become the Herrscher of Wind.
"Your reactions are so calm," Yaqing said, eating a few bites of popcorn.
Mobius glanced at him. "What kind of reaction do you want me to have? 'Wow, Wendy is actually a Herrscher, so unbelievable!' or 'Hey, how did Wendy become a Herrscher?'"
Mobius acted out two different emotions.
Not noticing Elysia next to her, who had already started to secretly record her.
"Never mind. Calm is better."
In the front row, Patrick exclaimed, "As expected of Wendy. To be able to produce two different voice lines by herself."
"What's so great about that? I can do it too!" Shabu said, unconvinced.
"You? Forget it."
"Patrick, don't you look down on me!"
In the row behind them, Kiana looked at Bronya's long, slender legs. Unsurprisingly, she was met with an annoyed glare from Bronya.
In the last row, MEI suddenly seemed to think of something and spoke up. "Dr. Mobius, at present, Anti-Entropy has injected the Herrscher of Thunder core into Raiden Mei's body, and Schicksal has injected the Herrscher of Wind core into Wendy's body. The possibility of the Herrscher of the Void core being inside Kiana has a very high probability of being confirmed."
"Same thing I said before," Mobius waved her hand stubbornly. "As long as the plot doesn't explicitly show the Herrscher of the Void core is inside Kiana, I haven't lost!"
"Alright."
MEI looked at... gently.
"Ah, MEI, this popcorn is pretty good. Here, have one," Kevin quickly picked up a piece of popcorn and put it in MEI's mouth, also conveniently blocking her view of Mobius.
MEI obediently ate it, but still looked at Kevin with confusion. Kevin had already finished two buckets, and only now was he saying this was good and feeding it to her.
