The Herrscher of the Void held up a single finger, a wise smile gracing her face.
"Ye Feng."
"Call me Master."
"?"
The Herrscher of the Void's wings of light trembled. "Don't take it too far."
"Otherwise, I won't listen. I'll just go make babies with Ely."
"..."
The Herrscher of the Void ground her teeth, but she knew Ye Feng was a man of his word.
On this matter, she had long since reached enlightenment: there were only two categories of things—things she absolutely would not do, and everything else.
After all, it was better to agree from the start than to compromise after a time-consuming and exhausting struggle.
One had to admit, the Herrscher of the Void possessed a certain wisdom.
"Master."
"See? That was quite smooth! How about adding a 'woof' at the end?"
The Herrscher of the Void shot him a murderous glare.
"So scary, so scary. If you don't want to say 'woof,' 'meow meow meow' is also fine... Alright, alright, stop looking at me like that. Go on, what did you think of?"
The Herrscher of the Void crossed her arms. "Don't you already know?"
"But I'd still like to hear you say it. Tell me your brilliant idea."
"Tsk. As I thought. You can read my mind."
The Herrscher of the Void was displeased, but she spoke anyway. "Strengthen my authority, and I can help you open a spatial channel, connecting you to the Herrscher of Thunder's sensitive places."
"Your Majesty, while that method is quite common in certain doujins, like connecting... well, you know.
"But to have come up with such a masterful application of your authority purely through imagination, without having been exposed to it firsthand... tsk tsk tsk... you truly are talented.
"So many people say you're an illiterate brute, possessing power but not knowing how to use it. I think they need to re-evaluate."
The Herrscher of the Void looked at Ye Feng coldly.
"Are you finished?"
"Although I'd like to praise you some more..."
"That won't be necessary. If you're done talking, then let's get to it. In this world, you should be able to strengthen my authority, right?"
Ye Feng caressed Elysia's smooth, snow-white foot and smiled. "Speaking of which, can't you just 'open a door' directly using your ability to manipulate space?"
The Herrscher of the Void answered, "Against ants like ordinary humans, of course, there's no problem. But it won't work on a fellow Herrscher, an apostle of God."
"Ehh~~ You really are high and mighty, Your Majesty."
"Enough nonsense. Can you do it or not?"
"Of course I can. But what exactly do you plan to do? Simply send my dick over to the Herrscher of Thunder?"
The Herrscher of the Void froze for a moment, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Crude."
But... that was indeed what she had been thinking.
Just like in certain anime, where one could stick a large rod into a magic circle to reach a deep, secret garden.
"You're right, it is too crude and vulgar. As a Herrscher, you should be capable of more precise operations."
"??"
Ye Feng said, "Let me teach you the advanced version."
"Ha?"
Ye Feng pointed at the Elysia in front of him. "Don't be fooled by her appearance. She's no different from a real person. Her physical attributes, her abilities, she has everything. All she lacks is a soul, a consciousness.
"In other words, her structure is similar to you Herrschers, or to any human girl."
"What are you trying to say?" the Herrscher of the Void interrupted with a frown.
"What I mean is, that kind of intense sensation is primarily caused by brain neurons, neurotransmitters, neural receptors, neural pathways, and the massive secretion of dopamine.
"Try this: while her pheromones are being transmitted, open a 'door' and input them into Miss Raiden's receptors.
"Can you do it?"
The Herrscher of the Void understood.
Simply put, he wanted her to intercept Elysia's "sensory feedback" during the transmission process and input it into the Herrscher of Thunder's body.
This way, all the sensations from playing with Elysia would be fed back to the Herrscher of Thunder.
"Excellent!"
A ferocious smile curved the corners of the Herrscher of the Void's mouth.
She looked very excited.
They immediately got to work. Ye Feng boosted her authority to a certain level, and the Herrscher of the Void at once attempted to execute his idea.
And it had to be said, she was talented. She completed the particle-level micro-operation in a single attempt.
On the other side, the Herrscher of Thunder, who had been lying on the ground resting, suddenly snapped her eyes open—she felt her secret garden being invaded.
In truth, for something of this level, Ye Feng only needed to activate "Sensory Sharing."
But since the Herrscher of the Void was in such high spirits, he of course had to play along with her.
Ye Feng held Elysia's white-stockinged legs and began to accelerate wildly.
"I wonder if Miss Raiden will be able to react."
The transmission of neurotransmitters was a type of electrical signal. She could easily cut it off.
This was perfect.
It trained the Herrscher of the Void's abilities and also trained the Herrscher of Thunder's reaction time.
And watching the two Herrschers compete brought Ye Feng great pleasure.
Three birds with one stone.
---o---
St. Freya High School.
During the morning classes, Kiana, for a rare change, did not fall asleep.
But because of that, she noticed that Mei, who was usually always taking diligent notes, was repeatedly spacing out in class.
The way she occasionally propped her chin on her hand and gazed out the window at the blue sky... she looked completely lovestruck.
But it was autumn now. The season where all things wither was fast approaching.
That damn dog Ye Feng, did he do something to Mei!?
But speaking of "doing something"...
Kiana subconsciously looked down at her own little hands. She had done something quite outrageous herself.
And... she was starting to feel it again.
Seriously, is this ever going to end!?
Kiana was annoyed.
She was sure Ye Feng was behind this.
Kiana slumped onto her desk, trying to calm her mind and spirit...
---o---
At lunchtime, the trio was in the Valkyrie cafeteria. A calmed-down Mei finally remembered something important.
"Bronya."
"Hm? Mei-oneechan, is something wrong?"
"Yes. I met a girl named Seele there."
"Eh?"
Bronya froze on the spot, her pupils wide. The spoon in her hand clattered to the floor.
"...Seele?"
"Mhm. Seele Vollerei."
That name... only the people from the orphanage knew it.
There was no need to doubt its authenticity.
Besides, Bronya had absolute faith in Mei-oneechan.
"It seems she was rescued by Feng-kun and escaped the depths of the Sea of Quanta. She's currently in a certain [World Bubble]. Seele asked me to tell you that she's safe."
"It really... is Seele."
Bronya murmured.
On the other side, Kiana was also completely stunned. The chicken leg in her hand instantly lost its appeal.
Wait, what did Mei just call him?
Feng-kun?
Kun?
In the Far East, only people who are extremely close... to put it bluntly, only boyfriends and girlfriends address each other that way, right?
Did I hear that wrong?
Mhm, I didn't sleep well last night. I must have misheard.
Kiana silently pricked up her ears. And sure enough, Mei immediately mentioned Ye Feng again. This time, she heard it clearly. She had called him "Mr. Ye Feng."
"Phew~"
Kiana let out a sigh of relief.
I knew it.
This isn't Ye Feng's world. He can't interfere with Mei's will here.
How could she possibly call him that? Ahaha.
