Volume 1: Chapter 160: Three Herrschers on a Stage

　　It was as if someone yawned, as if just waking up from a deep sleep.

　　The little child blinked his eyes.

　　He just beat Amon in his dream again.

　　This time they were chasing Amon instead of staying in a stalemate for a while like last time.

　　"Zerg, are you awake?"

　　She looked down at the tiny child in her arms.

　　The pink-haired miko put down the book in her hands.

　　Before, she had been reading various books of the current era in order to keep up with the times.

　　Sleep is not necessary for her now.

　　Five hundred years of sealing had turned her body into something inhuman.

　　According to Theresa, she is now what is called a pseudo-Herrscher.

　　However, Yae Sakura doesn't care about her identity.

　　"Zerg is awake!"

　　The little master quickly regained his activity.

　　"Then do you want to go out and take a look?"

　　Yae Sakura spoke.

　　Something seemed to have happened outside before.

　　She heard rumbles of thunder and what sounded like a building collapsing.

　　It was as if there was a fight going on outside.

　　The miko originally wanted to go out and take a look, but she was worried about leaving the little child alone in the room.

　　Zerg needs to be taken care of.

　　His mind is too immature.

　　The age revealed under the sakura earlier shocked Yae Sakura.

　　It also aroused her maternal instinct.

　　"Zerg needs to go out and take a look!"

　　The Zerg responded that they had received a report that someone had entered their territory without making any diplomatic arrangements in advance.

　　There is no doubt that this is an illegal invasion of the Zerg territory!

　　However, the invaders seem to have some special abilities that can suppress the actions of the Zerg, and the Overmind needs to appear in person.

　　"Zerg will take Yae Sakura over to have a look!"

　　Grabbing the miko's sleeve, Zerg jumped directly into a space crack.

　　The location of the invaders has been surrounded by the swarm of insects, and the coordinates can be easily obtained.

　　Then you can directly tear the space to teleport.

　　"Why?"

　　Before the miko could react, she was dragged away.

　　When she came to her senses again, she was no longer in her room.

　　“…”

　　Yae Sakura observed the situation around her.

　　Floating in the sky is... Kiana?

　　Not far away sat Raiden Mei.

　　Bronya was leaning against the wall.

　　However, Kiana and Raiden Mei seem to have changed a bit——

　　Kiana's demeanor changed from silly and cute to dangerous and arrogant, just like a queen.

　　Mei Raiden went from being gentle to being strong.

　　What on earth is happening outside?

　　She grasped the spirit knife unconsciously.

　　"Zerg?"

　　The falling sharp ribbon came to an abrupt stop.

　　Because if she doesn't stop it, Zerg will also be affected by the attack.

　　This was the companion she had reserved, and the one she intended to use to take revenge on Kiana.

　　It's not good to get hurt.

　　"Enemy of the Swarm!"

　　Zerg ignored the Sky Queen's greeting.

　　He stared at the hooded human.

　　The aura of the other person seemed familiar, like Amon.

　　Then there is no doubt that -

　　He is the enemy of the Swarm and the enemy of the Overmind.

　　The creatures that emerged from the shadows flapped their wings, and sticky saliva dripped from their sharp teeth.

　　The ground was shaking.

　　Then--

　　A huge monster broke through the ground.

　　The swarm of insects has dug a variety of tunnels underground in St. Freya Academy.

　　Although some underground buildings were discovered along the way, it was not a problem.

　　The Swarm are masters of tunneling.

　　A vast network of tunnels could be excavated without destabilizing the ground.

　　However, the Ursula genome brought from Terra has been put into the hatchery here for the evolution of the tunnel worms.

　　Subsequent tunnel worms will directly shuttle through the alien space to deploy troops, instead of shuttling underground.

　　This means that the efficiency and concealment of the delivery are greatly improved.

　　“…”

　　The hooded man slowly stood up.

　　This is the power of the Zerg.

　　And they are not those alien insects in the subspace with incomplete genomes.

　　He could command the swarms in the warp, but those swarms were incomplete -

　　The only Zerg that can be driven are Springtails and Worker Bees.

　　The rest of the Zerg genome was deleted.

　　And now——

　　The new Overmind was right in front of him, showing him how terrifying a complete swarm of insects could be.

　　“…”

　　Rita, who was planning to contact Archbishop of Destiny after a temporary emergency retreat, put down the communicator in her hand.

　　Her eyes were fixed on the small figure.

　　These creatures... obey him?

　　The Valkyrie's eyes were somewhat puzzling.

　　Those creatures that have strong individual combat power and are numerous have their own masters.

　　This is not good news.

　　Tides of unintelligent beasts aren't much of a problem.

　　But an intelligent, organized army of beasts is a big problem.

　　If such a force is against humanity... no one will be able to laugh.

　　It is unaffected by Honkai energy, and its physical strength is enough to shatter the hard shell of Honkai beast, and its speed is faster than that of a dead soldier.

　　They are natural killing weapons.

　　Destiny's massive army of Valkyries was no match for these creatures.

　　Only the top Valkyries can resist these creatures—

　　But the top Valkyries are few and far between, while these creatures are huge in number.

　　“…”

　　The girl hiding in the dark put down her hand.

　　These creatures are terrifying, but fortunately, their masters are friendly to humans.

　　Probably because all the humans he came into contact with were friendly.

　　If the humans I first came into contact with were malicious...

　　Fu Hua buried that terrible future deep in her heart.

　　"Otto, was this something you expected?"

　　The girl whispered.

　　The second and third Herrscher appeared one after another.

　　The Third Herrscher is fine—

　　She was restrained in her attack and did not directly attack the entire St. Freya Academy.

　　The second Herrscher...

　　She looked up at the queen's figure in the sky.

　　The Second Herrscher did not continue to attack, but her Honkai energy level continued to increase.

　　This is not a good thing.

　　Where is Theresa?

　　…………

　　"call……"

　　In the office with excellent sound insulation, the little nun was sleeping soundly on the bed with her mouth open.

　　Then she seemed to be used as a pillow and forced to be buried in the majestic mountains.

　　Theresa's face gradually changed, and she instinctively began to struggle, trying to get more air.

　　"Mmmmm!"

　　The little nun suddenly opened her eyes.

　　She seemed to be caught by some super scary monster.

　　Then something big and round came into view.

　　“…”

　　Damn bomb girl!

　　Theresa's face darkened.

　　Then she noticed something was wrong.

　　"How can there be such a strong Honkai reaction?"

　　There is no doubt that it was a Honkai energy reaction that had reached the level of a Herrscher.

　　What big thing happened at St. Freya Academy?

　　She was just reading a Homu comic and fell asleep, so how come someone made such a big deal out of it?

　　"Judas!"

　　The little nun called out to her good friend in a hurry.

　　…………

　　“…”

　　The God of Darkness looked at those hideous creatures.

　　These bugs... have absorbed the characteristics of those creatures called demons.

　　They come with a strange ability to influence cognition.

　　The well-informed Dark Will quickly recognized it.

　　Today's operation failed.

　　The Overmind woke up before he could do anything.

　　He shifted his gaze to the pink-haired miko next to the Lord.

　　It is no longer possible to relocate into the body of the new overlord.

　　But there seem to be other suitable candidates.

　　A hundred times the gravity was suddenly released, trying to suppress the attacking swarm of insects.

　　Then--

　　The unrivaled psychic power simply crushed any external force, and in turn pressed the hooded man to the ground.

　　Kiana, Mei Raiden, and Bronya were all injured.

　　This is a declaration of war on the Zerg!

　　The battles between Skadi and Kiana in the past were part of the competitive evolution within the Zerg and did not require intervention.

　　But not now.

　　The enemy seemed to understand that his own death was inevitable.

　　He blew himself up.

　　A hundred times the gravity collapsed inside his body, destroying his body in an instant and forming a miniature black hole.

　　The huge noise obscured all the small movements.

　　However, before the black hole could exert its power——

　　Zerg flattened the black hole.

　　“…”

　　The Herrscher of the Void looked at what was happening below.

　　She couldn't help licking her lips.

　　As expected, he is the companion I chose!

　　Perfect!

　　"Zerg wins!"

　　The Overmind cheered for the victory of the Zerg.

　　The Zerg once again won a well-deserved victory!

　　"The little fairy is great."

　　The Herrscher of Thunder smiled slightly.

　　It's worthy of him.

　　She sat like a duck on the ground with her hand over her heart.

　　I was saved by the little fairy.

　　Perhaps this was the second time Raiden Mei was saved, but for the Herrscher of Thunder—

　　This is her first time.

　　"Zerg is awesome!"

　　The little master ran in front of the girl.

　　"Mei is injured!"

　　He said so.

　　"Zerg can help Mei disarm that high-energy explosive!"

　　It was just some minor injuries, but a high-energy explosive had been implanted in his heart.

　　"No thanks, little fairy."

　　The Herrscher of Thunder looked at the little elf that was so close.

　　Completely defenseless.

　　Completely unguarded.

　　Completely defenseless.

　　Her eyes narrowed slightly.

　　The bomb is her business, and she has to solve it herself, so just take it as supervision.

　　It's time to study with Raiden Mei on weekdays.

　　Otherwise, you will only use too much force and the bricks will fly, but you won't be able to do anything about the small bomb in the heart.

　　But now——

　　The Thunder Queen gave a gentle smile, like a lioness about to hunt.

　　"Zerg, can you give me a hug?"

　　She opened her hands.

　　Just catch the prey and then enjoy it.

　　Other people's eyes?

　　She doesn't care.

　　This is a rare opportunity.

　　Mei Raiden was usually so cowardly that she couldn't stand it anymore.

　　There were so many opportunities to take action, but the girl always adhered to the principles of a young lady in her heart and did not do so.

　　But she——

　　The Herrscher of Thunder is different!

　　The Herrscher can do whatever she wants, and it is not the turn of other humans to tell her what to do!

　　"Leave him alone, you thief!"

　　The Herrscher of the Void frowned.

　　She was very familiar with the look of the Herrscher of Thunder—

　　She had seen it on the face of the alien creature named W through Kiana's body before.

　　That was a look of longing.

　　Zerg is inexperienced in the ways of the world, and his intelligence is not even as good as that of Sirin.

　　He couldn't tell the difference between this "bad intent" and "malice".

　　"hehe."

　　The Thunder Queen glanced at the Sky Queen who was high above her.

　　Will she listen to her?

　　Although the Conquest Gem was once part of the Second Herrscher, it is now hers.

　　What is the Second Herrscher?

　　The Herrscher of Thunder launched a direct attack.

　　She explored every corner recklessly, grabbing anything she came into contact with.

　　“…”

　　Bronya Zaychik looked at the Herrscher in the sky, and then looked at the other Pseudo-Herrscher present.

　　Smart people never bother to fight for temporary victory.

　　She retreated first, and then found a way to win the final victory.

　　otherwise--

　　Bronya was worried that she would be affected by the battle between the three Herrschers.

　　“…”

　　Yae Sakura opened her eyes wide.

　　It must be fake, right?

　　How could anyone attack such a young being?

　　Her grip on the spiritual sword Sakura Fubuki became tighter and tighter.

　　How could such a thing be possible?

　　It even made a gurgling sound.

　　The miko's expression could no longer be maintained.

　　The energy of Honkai surged within her body.

　　It seemed as if there was a dark will instigating her to kill the guy who should go to hell.

　　I had promised to take good care of Zerg before, but in the blink of an eye -

　　There are some shameless guys who deserve to go to hell who just took action.

　　In front of her anyway.

　　“Unforgivable!”

　　The magic sword is unsheathed.

　　"You damned thief!"

　　Someone in the sky also uttered an angry shout.

　　The Queen of the Sky was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

　　Damn Herrscher of Thunder!

　　It would be fine if she just stole her Gem of Conquest, but now she wants to steal Zerg too?

　　Her companion was so naive, yet she actually did this!

　　I have never taken the initiative to do such a thing!

　　"Just a bunch of losers."

　　The Thunder Queen declared.

　　"The little fairy is my—the Third Herrscher!"

　　She hugged Zerg tightly.

　　The little fairy is still so sweet and delicious.

　　If there weren't any troublesome guys around, I would have taken the next step by now.

　　Although I don’t care about other people’s eyes——

　　But if she wanted to take things further, she still had to find a place where only she and Zerg were together.

　　"you!"

　　The space around the Queen of Sky began to fluctuate.

　　hateful!

　　She won't let this damn thief go!

　　She actually openly announced the fact of stealing in front of the master!

　　At this moment, the Valkyrie of Destiny hiding in the dark was speechless.

　　She had never seen such a scene before.

　　I’m afraid that the Archbishop of Destiny havent’t seen it either.

　　Two Herrschers and one Pseudo-Herrscher are about to have an internal conflict.

　　Rita first time seeing this.

　　The reason is that they all want to be coppersmiths, and no one wants to let others do it.

　　"Fortunately, I'm not a copper sorcerer."

　　The Destiny Valkyrie said to herself.

　　Although she likes cute children and easily exudes bright red maternal love, she is not a copper alchemist.

　　It's just pure love for cute children.

　　No weird desires involved.

　　I have to record it and let Lord Otto analyze it.
