Volume 1: Chapter 84: Psychic Enhancement: Speed Demon

　　The red-haired Valkyrie hung under the flying cross and greeted the two children in the balloon.

　　For Himeko Murata, whether it is Zerg or the girl named Bronya, in her eyes they are all children who need care.

　　Well, that white-haired pervert whose temperament changed drastically doesn’t count.

　　Two white and tender thighs were exposed.

　　It looks very slender, but you can feel the power in it.

　　in addition--

　　Is this balloon flying a little slow?

　　The Valkyrie thought so as she looked at the balloon that was trying to speed up.

　　"Guha!"

　　Several creatures with white circles for eyes flapped their wings and flew up.

　　Then there was a pink-haired miko hanging under one of them.

　　“…”

　　This was Yae Sakura's first time experiencing the feeling of flying.

　　After expressing her desire to go up, the balloon creature that gave her hot tea seemed to communicate with a flying creature, and she was able to grab it and escape from the underground nest.

　　What she saw were tall buildings that would never have existed in her time.

　　The tallest building in Yae Village is probably not even half as tall as the tall buildings.

　　This village area seemed to have been hit by a war, with ruins everywhere.

　　"Yo? First time flying?"

　　Murata Himeko looked at the pink-haired woman who was also hanging and flying. She could see her tense arms.

　　It was obvious that he was not used to the feeling of being off the ground.

　　"……Yes."

　　The miko's toes tensed slightly.

　　Being off the ground made her feel a little uneasy.

　　As a shrine maiden living in the past, Yae Sakura has never flown.

　　Although she might not get hurt if she fell, she still felt uneasy.

　　Especially when flying higher and higher.

　　"It doesn't matter. You'll get used to it after trying it a few times."

　　Murata Himeko remained calm.

　　However, she could feel that the amount of Honkai energy contained in the other party's body was quite a lot, almost catching up with the Herrscher of the Void who suddenly disappeared.

　　"It's okay to fall down."

　　Anyway, the Valkyries of St. Freya Academy sometimes need to parachute from high altitudes to fight, or even dive directly in the flesh.

　　The latter is an operation that only high-level Valkyries can perform.

　　More Valkyries sent themselves directly to the medical room when they did this.

　　"?"

　　The miko thought with some confusion.

　　What do you mean it’s okay to fall?

　　If she fell from such a height before being possessed by the demon fox, she would have to keep her sister company.

　　Are people in the new era used to flying? Even falling from such a high place is no big deal?

　　"Gah."

　　Then Broken Tooth's cry interrupted the conversation between the two.

　　Following the sound, I looked.

　　I saw a little child hanging upside down.

　　Zerg held the white-haired girl's hand with one hand and looked at the two of them in a daze.

　　The little creature squatted on top of his head—

　　If we ignore the fact that the little child is upside down at this moment.

　　"Is there anything to eat when you go back with Himeko?"

　　The Overlord of the Swarm is very concerned about this matter.

　　The insect nest placed in this city can now develop and expand independently, so he can now take some time to look for wild food.

　　It is best to have high-energy foods like those you ate before.

　　"Of course."

　　The magnificent St. Freya Academy can’t even afford to support a small child?

　　Theresa would certainly say that.

　　Murata Himeko thought so.

　　But why didn’t the little guy named Broken Tooth fall down?

　　She looked at the little fellow who was squatting backwards in an extremely unscientific way.

　　It doesn't look like it's holding onto anything fixed.

　　At this moment, Bronya was holding the lower body of the little child to prevent him from falling.

　　However, during this movement, some of the loose clothes inevitably fell down, revealing her fair skin that was as smooth as a baby's.

　　There is also a belly that makes people want to rub it just by looking at it.

　　"…Heavy Bunny, take note. Mother Cocolia may need some information on Zerg."

　　Even at this moment, the dedicated Anti-Entropy agent has not forgotten his adoptive mother.

　　She, Bronya, has been working diligently.

　　"Then Zerg must go back with Himeko!"

　　The Swarm Overlord immediately cheered.

　　Because more high-energy has been absorbed, more swarms of insects can be carried with you.

　　At this moment, he has brought more worker bees and newly hatched fighting insect swarms.

　　The first batch of hatched Zerg will stay in the city to defend the hive.

　　and--

　　As the body is replenished, spiritual energy can play a greater role.

　　"Where is Himeko going back to?"

　　Zerg blinked and asked cutely.

　　"Go back to the Hyperion, the aerial battleship you saw earlier." The Valkyrie replied, "Kiana and Raiden Mei are also on it."

　　Fortunately, it looks like nothing happened.

　　Looking at the piece of cloth that was still stubbornly protecting the body, I didn't see any solidified white spots.

　　Skadi, whose temperament had changed drastically, didn't have time to do anything.

　　Where did this miko next to him come from?

　　After the great collapse that gave birth to a Herrscher and a pseudo-Herrscher, there are still survivors?

　　St. Freya Academy has become prosperous now.

　　Anyone who can survive the great collapse is a good candidate to become a Valkyrie.

　　"Zerg understands."

　　The upside-down little child nodded.

　　It turns out that he returned to Kiana and Mei.

　　A psychic light shone in his eyes.

　　Some of the power of the Zerg Master began to emerge at this moment——

　　[Psychic Enhancement: Speed Devil]

　　A gust of wind blew across the sky, blowing down some shaky buildings, killing several pale human figures, and burying several unlucky cockroaches that were passing by.

　　…………

　　On board the Hyperion.

　　Theresa looked at the two dead girls in silence.

　　Isn't it a bit strange to bring back a Herrscher and a Pseudo-Herrscher all at once?

　　Principal St. Freya always feels that she will pick up more Herrschers in the future.

　　Don’t let the Saint Freya Academy that trains the Valkyries of Destiny turn into a Far Eastern Demon Cave that specializes in training Herrschers.

　　"Principal, their Honkai energy readings are gradually decreasing."

　　A crew member of the battleship came to report.

　　"I see."

　　It seems that the situation is not as bad as expected.

　　After they wake up, they will not be able to continue to act as Herrschers.

　　After all, the birth of a Herrscher requires sufficient Honkai energy.

　　According to a theory developed by an unknown scientist, if enough Honkai energy can be eliminated, then in theory the Herrscher may be able to return to his original state.

　　Teresa has not read much, so I don’t know if this is right.

　　But now it seems that it might be right.

　　She thought so as she looked at the white fur ball that suddenly sat up and its hair began to spin.

　　Kiana Kaslana felt as if she were having a nightmare.

　　She had just gained great power, and then suddenly lost control of her body, watching herself defeat Mei Raiden, and then snatching ownership of the little child.

　　after--

　　It seemed like I had a preliminary and simple exchange with Zerg in front of other people?

　　The white-haired ball shook her head.

　　The reason it was a nightmare was because that person was not her.

　　It was like someone was pointing a finger at her and declaring - Zerg's second time was her!

　　"Could it be another me?"

　　Kiana Holmes attempts to interpret a dream.

　　No, no, no, with that weak look of her, could the other her do such a thing?

　　The other one is like a pufferfish, which swells up very easily.

　　Then she let the air out of herself.

　　"Shorty, where is this place? Where is Zerg?"

　　Kiana Holmes felt that dream interpretation was beyond her ability, and it would be better to figure out the current situation first.

　　"Shorty?"

　　Theresa opened her mouth slightly and pointed at herself.

　　"Who else could it be if not you?"

　　The white-haired dumpling said as a matter of course.

　　"well."

　　The white-haired nun took a deep breath.

　　She subconsciously reached for the person beside her, wanting to use Judas to teach the naughty kid whom she hadn't seen for a long time a lesson.

　　Then--

　　Having caught nothing, Theresa remembered that she had lent Judas to Himeko.

　　Never mind, it doesn’t matter if Judas is gone.

　　Theresa rolled up her sleeves slightly.

　　It doesn’t matter if the naughty kid doesn’t know how to respect her teachers. The former S-class Valkyrie of Destiny still knows a little bit about fighting.

　　"Hmm? What do you want to do, shorty?"

　　Kiana Kaslana noticed that the dwarf in front of her looked like she was ready to fight.

　　"I'm telling you, I'm very strong."

　　She put her hands on her hips.

　　She killed the Honkai monster with her own hands, subdued the perverted inner demon, and severely injured Raiden Mei. She is the strongest one among her peers!

　　She was just a dwarf who was even smaller than her. How could she...

　　“Boom!”

　　Kiana felt the pain of close contact with the ground, and she blinked in confusion.

　　"Kiana, didn't Siegfried teach you the good habit of respecting elders?"

　　Theresa stared at the white-haired ball that fell to the ground after being punched by her.

　　How did Siegfried teach her daughter?

　　"Siegfried? You know the stinky dad, little guy?"

　　Kiana Kaslana jumped up immediately.

　　“…”

　　Theresa took a deep breath.

　　"Come on, call me a dwarf again?"

　　She looked at the white-haired ball with a forced smile.

　　How did Siegfried teach?

　　"I was wrong! Please tell me the whereabouts of my stinky dad!"

　　Kiana Kaslana immediately prostrated herself on the ground like a tiger.

　　She wanted to find her stinky dad, and besides giving him a punch—

　　I also want to tell him that I have found someone I can spend my life with.

　　The image of the little child comes to mind.

　　Age is not a problem!

　　She is still a young and beautiful girl, she is worth waiting for!

　　"Hmph, although I know where Siegfried is, I won't tell you now, Kiana."

　　The little nun folded her arms.

　　"Also, you can call me Theresa. I'm like your aunt."

　　Theresa raised her head.

　　"Where is he?"

　　Kiana Kaslana stared at the white-haired nun.

　　"You are not qualified to know his whereabouts right now, because you are now——"

　　“Nothing can be done.”

　　The Herrscher of the Void, who was supposed to be destroyed, lurks in the body of Kiana Kaslana.

　　There was no way Theresa would just let her leave her sight.

　　"You are too weak, Kiana. I will not tell you the whereabouts of Siegfried until you defeat the Herrscher personality in you."

　　The white-haired nun said so.

　　"Herrscher personality?"

　　The white-haired ball was stunned.

　　"That's right. The Herrscher personality in you is the Herrscher of the Void who caused the Second Collapse. I won't tell anyone else about this."

　　"But I won't let you go until you defeat her, Kiana."

　　Theresa said very seriously.

　　"?"

　　Are you talking about the other her?

　　Is it the pufferfish that is very abnormal and easily inflated?

　　Kiana Kaslana blinked in confusion as she listened to the seemingly impressive description.

　　"Aunt Theresa, are you kidding me?"

　　The white-haired dumpling expressed doubt.

　　It's just a perverted pufferfish. Hasn't she already pinned it down and spanked it?

　　"You were previously possessed by your Herrscher personality."

　　even……

　　Theresa's face looked a little strange.

　　After the resurrection of the Herrscher of the Void, did her habits become strange?

　　"ha?"

　　That pufferfish had already taken over her body once?

　　Kiana Kaslana opened her mouth slightly.

　　Wait, it seems like this...

　　She recalled the last scene of her memory -

　　"Damn it, that guy actually tricked me!"

　　The white-haired ball was very angry.

　　Next time she sees that inflated pufferfish, she will definitely teach her a lesson!

　　If you dare to attack again next time, the pufferfish will be defeated!

　　“…”

　　Is this the reaction you should have?

　　Theresa blinked in confusion.

　　That was the Herrscher of the Void who caused the Second Great Collapse!

　　Why do you make me sound like a weakling who is easy to bully?

　　"Aunt Theresa, next time I see her, I will definitely teach her a lesson!"

　　"Just let go..."

　　The white-haired ball patted her chest.

　　Then the Hyperion's hull shook violently.

　　A white shadow knocked down Kiana Kaslana.

　　“Boom!”

　　The white-haired ball, who had just woken up, fainted with his eyes rolled back.

　　“Boom!”

　　Theresa hit the wall because of the vibration. She covered her forehead and her eyes were filled with tears.

　　"Principal, the Hyperion was hit by a high-speed object! A hole was knocked out in the left armor!"

　　"According to calculations, the impact trajectory of the high-speed object ends exactly in the medical room!"

　　"Are you okay?"

　　During the communication, the crew of the Hyperion was panicked for a moment because of the sudden collision.

　　But soon, they calmed down and started to deal with it.

　　"Nothing."

　　Theresa looked back.

　　A white-haired girl, almost naked, was lying on top of... the white-haired ball with her eyes closed peacefully.

　　Kiana Kaslana was lying face down, having apparently fainted again.

　　Why is she here?

　　Didn’t Himeko go after her?

　　"Where's Himeko?"

　　So, Theresa asked subconsciously.

　　"...School Principal, Major Himeko..."

　　The communication was hesitant to speak.

　　"What happened to Himeko? Did something happen to her?"

　　The nun immediately became angry.

　　"…We saw Major Himeko crash."

　　The communication replied.

　　"ah?"
