While Chen Ran was at Saint Freya, Wendy was finishing a battle.
At this moment, she was no longer the girl who needed to rely on a wheelchair to move; instead, the winds from all directions could become her support.
The sudden explosion of Honkai Energy directly destroyed the aircraft where Raven was, but Wendy knew that Raven was not dead.
The sea and wind had become her weapons, and under the high concentration of Honkai Energy and the falling aircraft, the assassin codenamed Raven would clearly not fare well.
However, Raven was not dead.
She could sense the killing intent surrounding her from all directions.
But now, this place was far from the inland; whether in the sky or the ocean, it was her battlefield.
The authority to manipulate fluids allowed her to stand undefeated above the sea.
The reason Herrschers are called agents of the gods is that they possess god-like authority.
However, Wendy still did not dare to relax.
The Honkai she unleashed was in mid-air, not inland. And the Honkai Energy in mid-air was only a small amount that she absorbed.
Without sufficient Honkai Energy, she could not use her authority either.
Now she could only be thankful that Raven would likely die in this sea before her.
But now she could not see where Raven was.
That mercenary was indeed stronger than ordinary people; Wendy even suspected that she might possess the combat ability of an S-rank Valkyrie.
A simple water area would probably not be able to trap her.
However, as she waited for Raven to make a move, the killing intent that permeated the surroundings slowly dissipated.
It was clear that Raven had retreated.
Fighting in the sea was not Raven's strong suit; even though her body had also undergone MANTIS modification, the sea level could not trap her.
But once she left the land, Raven's various attack methods would be difficult to execute.
Weighing the pros and cons, retreating was the best choice.
Raven was not yet willing to die for World Serpent; she was just a mercenary, not loyal to Kevin.
Wendy lingered in the sky above the ocean for a moment, and after confirming that Raven had left, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
"Where can I go next?"
...
...
For Wendy, becoming a Herrscher was probably the hardest thing for her to accept.
She had been educated with a hatred for fighting against Honkai since she was young, and becoming a Valkyrie to fight against Honkai had always been her goal.
But now, she had become the very thing she hated the most.
Wendy had no delusions; she knew that with Schicksal's capabilities, they would soon discover the emergence of another new Herrscher and then launch an attack.
This was determined by the foundation of Schicksal; if a Herrscher was left unchecked, then that Herrscher would be a dangerous ticking time bomb.
Even she herself did not feel that she had the ability to fully master her authority.
[Do what you desire to do.]
The voice in her mind murmured, constantly interfering with her thoughts.
"Shut up!"
[You have things you desire to do, don't you? Why suppress yourself?]
"Shut up!"
[Herrscher is not untouchable; think about it, isn't there a kindred spirit at Saint Freya? Hehe, there might even be more than one.]
"I said shut up!"
Wendy felt a bit irritated.
Naturally, she wanted to return to Saint Freya, to go directly to Chen Ran's side and hold him to express the grievances of these days.
But she could not do that.
She knew that once she became a Herrscher, she would automatically become an enemy of Schicksal. If she contacted Chen Ran again, it would mean that Chen Ran's freedom would be restricted, and even his life would be in danger.
Not to mention, there was also the unknown force that had kidnapped her, which would target Chen Ran to force her to submit.
Civilization is the shackle that binds life.
Herrschers are the freest beings.
Thus, the conflict between Herrschers and civilization lies here.
Even if she returned to Saint Freya, she could not guarantee Chen Ran's safety 100%. She would rather not go back.
But if she didn't go back, where else could she go?
The girl's eyes revealed a sense of loss.
In the education she received at Saint Freya, there was no knowledge that taught her what to do in this situation.
After all, she was only 14 years old.
...
...
Three days later.
Chen Ran left the medical room.
He looked at the vast Saint Freya, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Theresa still had no news about Wendy, to the point that he didn't even know what he should do now.
Wasting time here was not a good choice, but for now, it was all he could do.
The system had said that after exiting this time, when he re-entered this scene, his influence on this scene would be zero.
Chen Ran knew what this meant.
According to the laws of physics, the only possibility for zero influence is: his existence has disappeared.
Unobservable, imperceptible, uncommunicable.
He would observe this scene as a bystander, but this scene would erase all traces of him.
This is what is known as a quantum state.
However, Chen Ran knew that even waiting here was actually a meaningless act.
As long as it was a simulated scene, it would eventually reach the limit of consciousness carrying.
At that time, he would have to exit the simulated scene to avoid damage to his consciousness.
"There isn't much time left."
A hint of dejection was in his eyes.
Chen Ran took a deep breath and walked heavily towards the laboratory.
"Since the simulated scene will affect the fate of the Herrscher, then... I hope I can still do one last thing for you."
...
...
Chen Ran locked himself in.
This was what Theresa heard from the people in the science department.
When she hurried to the science department, she saw that the large science department was filled with various parts, both known and unknown to her. There was also a pile of casually placed Honkai Energy, which was shocking.
The boy was controlling the robotic arm, polishing something.
Theresa asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Making a potion."
The boy's face was pale as he spoke to Theresa: "Or rather, this is the last thing I can do; after this, I will leave here."
Theresa saw that his arm already had Honkai Energy patterns, which was a sign of corruption.
It was clear that the high concentration of Honkai Energy had made Chen Ran's body unable to bear it.
But because the system had enhanced his Honkai Energy suitability, at this moment, he felt no sensation other than pain. In fact, due to the Honkai Energy, his brain was at a highly active level.
She was horrified: "You're crazy, you'll die!"
"Don't worry, I won't die."
Chen Ran grinned and said, "Principal, you came at the right time. If Wendy comes back, help me give her this potion. Although I may not be able to see it, this should help her."
"This is the instruction manual I wrote myself."
A hint of weariness was in his eyes.
No matter whether Wendy had any news or not, he no longer had enough time.
Since the simulated scenario could affect Wendy's fate, he was willing to use his abilities to help her, even if she might not need it.
Theresa took the blueprint, which contained a series of parameters she couldn't understand.
Only at the end was there a usage instruction.
[Stigmata Gene Activation Agent.]
At that moment, Chen Ran's brain received a system prompt.
[Warning: The current simulation has reached the host's mental consciousness capacity limit. Continuing the simulation will lead to consciousness confusion.]
[The system temporarily ends the simulation scene. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the corresponding reward.]
