With the help of signal interference, Kiana only needed to focus on dodging to successfully pass through the bombardment zone.
"Detecting Third Herrscher Raiden Mei's signal. Executing capture plan."
However… it seemed Kiana's use of Herrscher power caused the clumsy AI to malfunction. It even stopped the bombardment and switched to non-lethal weapons.
Anyway, it wasn't a big deal. For Kiana, this was even better.
Next, she would show off a solo kill of Bronya!
With her physical abilities enhanced by an unknown multiple, Kiana dodged a considerable number of attacks. There were too many to list, so let's just leave it at that.
Successfully dodging the last attack, just as she was about to get close, Bronya retreated and vanished, reappearing several meters away.
"…"
The equipment gap was too large; she couldn't hit her.
Just as Kiana resigned herself, she saw Mei, who had been quiet, suddenly appear there, right behind Bronya, clearly having waited for a long time.
Mei held a wooden sword, picked up from who knows where, with a trailing afterimage, and fiercely attacked the back of Bronya's head.
That location, if heavily struck, even Bronya might not be able to withstand it.
Although being ruthless to enemies was normal, they would be companions later…
She hoped Bronya would be alright.
Kiana silently prayed, and then…
She saw the Heavy Armor Bunny behind Bronya extend its hand to block the attack.
"Good opportunity! Knight Kick!"
Seeing Bronya's Heavy Armor Bunny preoccupied by Mei, and to prevent the Heavy Armor Bunny from further attacking Mei, Kiana accelerated, jumped, and kicked towards Bronya, carrying an electric current.
As expected, the Heavy Armor Bunny's other hand, which was a cannon, also blocked in front. This was already considered a threatening attack.
"Men!"
Mei shouted loudly. The sword in her hand, as it was retracted, struck out again, bypassing the Heavy Armor Bunny, directly hitting the back of Bronya's head.
Thwack!
She shouted 'Men' mainly due to Mei's kendo habit.
"Warning: Imminent loss of control."
With the back of her head heavily struck, even a wooden sword was extremely dangerous. It was only because Bronya was tough that she could withstand it.
Kiana's momentum from the front was insufficient, so she was bounced away by the Heavy Armor Bunny, and Bronya finally broke free.
Cocoilia received the warning.
"Damn it! What's wrong with those two? How can there be two Third Herrschers?"
She was already a bit confused when she detected the Herrscher signal on Kiana, so much so that she didn't have time to control her.
Anti-Entropy's artificial intelligence was ultimately not very good, especially Cocoilia's.
In short, for now… retreat. Bronya was about to lose control and needed repairs.
At least it could be confirmed that the Third Herrscher was indeed weakened by Schicksal.
After receiving the order, although Bronya was a bit dizzy and couldn't move, with the Heavy Armor Bunny, she ran very fast.
At least Kiana and the others couldn't catch up at all.
"She ran away… Ah, can't catch up. By the way… Mei, we cooperated really well! And just now, I seemed to feel you were also using electric current to strengthen your body!"
Kiana could also feel the electromagnetic force nearby, but unfortunately, she couldn't control it, otherwise she wouldn't even need Mei's help.
"Ah, it was just subconscious… but quite weak. That… Kiana, your seal is still useful…"
Towards the end, Mei's voice became a little softer.
After all, although it was nothing at the time, thinking about it now… it was simply mortifying!
Especially waking up and hearing Kiana talk about spending the night, Mei, with a slightly richer experience, was so scared that she immediately pretended not to know her.
Sigh…
She always felt a little regretful. Although Kiana was very good to her now, she felt something was missing.
"Indeed, I can even control lightning and moonlight as Yang Yongxin… Eh?"
Just as Kiana was about to moonlight, she suddenly found that she couldn't use it again.
This feeling of it working sometimes and not others…
"What's wrong, Kiana?"
"Nothing, it just suddenly stopped working… It's nothing! Let's find a place to rest now!"
Incidentally, Kiana also signaled Theresa to stop the operation.
Since things were temporarily fine here, Theresa naturally had Himeko and the others search for the escaping Bronya.
She really didn't expect that Kiana and Mei, just the two of them, would defeat this seemingly formidable young girl.
"Theresa… Ah, perhaps I should call you Aunt?"
After temporarily fooling Mei, Kiana contacted Theresa.
"What's wrong? Are you coming back tonight? I'll have Himeko pick you up now."
Poor Himeko was constantly working overtime.
"I want to… try to 'conquer' that girl."
Before, she had no ability, and Kiana knew her limits. Now that she had some, she felt she could try to rescue Bronya.
Although it was intermittent, she still had it, and there was so much time for her to try.
"…She's not a Herrscher."
Theresa clearly said helplessly.
"But she was controlled to attack us, Aunt, you can see that too! I believe her true intention isn't this!"
Kiana secretly added in her heart, 'Bronya will be a Herrscher later.'
However… she probably wouldn't need to be 'conquered', right?
"…"
Theresa could also determine that this person was being controlled, but she wasn't sure about her true intentions.
"Please, Aunt!"
Missing Welt here would be equivalent to missing one of the 'Three Main Characters'!
"Alright, I can't do anything with you."
Theresa still believed Kiana's words. After all, she had successfully 'conquered' a Herrscher, and she trusted Kiana's judgment.
"Because it's not part of the mission objective, Schicksal won't provide intelligence support."
Schicksal wouldn't provide intelligence support for this, and it seemed they would have to secretly take in this girl later.
So Theresa was even less likely to seek help.
"First, we need to find the signal base. We only need to destroy the signal base to successfully prevent the person behind it from sending control signals."
For her convenient grandniece, Theresa felt she had put in a lot of effort.
"Then we'll take her back and try to remove the control device. As for in the Academy, there's even less need to worry about being controlled; that's the safest place!"
Although the signal device clearly used quantum technology, so it wasn't interfered with by electromagnetic signals, their Academy also had interference present.
"…"
Kiana always felt that Theresa was setting a flag.
Speaking of which… she just broke up and then immediately moved on to the next 'conquest'…
Ugh!
Was she a scumbag now?!
Ahaha, just kidding, she was devoted to Mei!
Since the current Mei had lost her previous experiences, then they would just start over with the 'conquest'!
