Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Kiana couldn't see the disputes within Academy City.

She was still wandering the Sea of Quanta with her sister.

"Is this right? I feel like I might have come to the wrong place." Kiana suspected she had been tricked. Why had Herrschers from other parallel worlds really started appearing after Noldrei left?

Occasionally, one or two Herrschers would use powers similar to the Herrscher of the Void to probe them.

Naturally, there was nothing to say. The two sisters gave them a mixed doubles beatdown on the spot, snatched their Herrscher Cores, and threw them back.

"I don't know why, but I feel like these Herrschers aren't very smart. Haven't they considered that we might be fishing?"

Most of the Herrschers Kiana suppressed were not good Herrschers. She had originally thought all Herrschers were gentle and kind people like the big sister Herrscher of Finality.

But it turned out most Herrschers were brain-dead and only thought about destruction and fighting.

This wouldn't do. They were immediately killed by the Kaslana sisters on the spot.

"We... should be considered to have contributed to the parallel worlds, right?"

Durandal looked down at the large pile of stones on the ground. The compensatory mechanism of her Stigma battlesuit had caused Durandal's combat power to skyrocket exponentially.

She killed these small-fry Herrschers one by one, and two by two.

If it weren't for Kiana occasionally stealing her kills, Durandal could have even killed these probing Herrschers straight through.

"Are these Herrschers a bit too weak? I feel like they're not as good as Dr. Tesla."

Durandal's words were a bit of a flex.

Kiana looked at her sister in shock. She couldn't imagine how many people like Dr. Tesla there were to become Herrschers. If there really were several people like Dr. Tesla who became Herrschers, then that world would have long been destroyed.

"Sis, instead of thinking about that, why don't you think about why three Herrschers of the Void who look a lot like us have appeared?" Kiana suspected she had been cloned in other worlds.

"Yeah, why is that?"

This was a difficult question for Durandal to answer.

"Sis, I want to go back."

Kiana was really hurt. Did her sister not even care about what the Herrschers looked like when she was killing them?

Didn't that mean that if she became a Herrscher one day, this Durandal-neechan might attack her directly?

'That bastard emperor is still better to me. As expected of someone I personally named.'

After seeing the fate of these Herrschers, Kiana no longer had much reverence for beings like them. That unlucky big sister Herrscher of Finality must have been beaten up by a lot of people, right?

Kiana sighed, feeling another two bits of pity for that Herrscher of Finality Kiana.

And that pity only lasted for two seconds before Kiana started to regret not snatching her Authority of Finality. If she could have snatched her authority, it would have been a contribution to protecting the big sister Herrscher of Finality.

Kiana's thought was that as long as she got the Herrscher's core in advance, Noldrei wouldn't be able to capture her and turn her into a little pony.

As long as the big sister Herrscher of Finality Kiana had the Authority of Finality on her, there was a possibility that she would be targeted by Noldrei one day.

Therefore, Kiana believed that she naturally had the responsibility to protect the big sister Herrscher of Finality from Noldrei's clutches.

Durandal actually wanted to go back too. There wasn't much to eat or play with here in the Sea of Quanta. She was also a young girl. How could she accept not being able to bathe for so long?

"But, we can't open The Deep from the outside. And the time we set isn't very long. We just need to wait quietly for Dr. Tesla's action."

Durandal was really acting like she was taking care of a younger sister.

"Aaaaaah, so annoying... Why do these Herrschers pop up like they're on drugs after Noldrei leaves?"

Kiana rolled around on the ground angrily. Soon, she accidentally captured a special fluctuation in the Sea of Quanta.

It was as if... some special life form was watching her.

"Huh? Sis, did you feel that?"

"What?" Just as Durandal was about to sense her surroundings, a familiar voice suddenly made her remember this friend.

"Durandal, is that you? Durandal... it's me, Schrödinger!"

Kiana was startled by the person who suddenly appeared. The unique aesthetic of having only half a face would probably leave a deep enough impression even on Noldrei.

"Schrödinger! I never thought I'd see you here!" Durandal hadn't expected to meet an old friend either. She looked at Schrödinger with pleasant surprise and asked, "Didn't you go back to the real world?"

Schrödinger had of course thought about returning to the real world, but that wasn't the problem...

She had actually been observing for a long time, not daring to leave this place rashly.

Besides Noldrei's super-strong cognitive contamination that almost made her break down, there was also the fact that Kiana and Durandal's actions of killing Herrschers were just too brutal.

The owners of those Honkai Energy cores were almost immediately ganged up on by the two sisters the moment they showed their heads. One was responsible for taking the gems, the other for taking their lives.

A truly perfect combination.

How could Schrödinger dare to come out at a time like this? What if she was mistaken for some special Herrscher and killed?

If it weren't for Kiana sensing her and calling out her hiding place.

Schrödinger would probably still be carefully observing the two of them.

"The real world can wait. I've already captured the beacon of The Deep and can go back through it at any time. The problem is, what are you two doing? Durandal, have you grown to this extent in the time I haven't known you? This powerful use of Honkai Energy, aren't you worried about the burden on your body?"

Schrödinger was still very worried about her friend.

The corrosive power of Honkai Energy on life was certainly not so easy to get rid of.

But, times had changed!

"You mean this? It's not a big problem. I just need to go back and change into a new Stigma battlesuit. Isn't my sister here with me? As long as I'm not directly vaporized and completely dead, I can be saved."

Durandal's confidence gave Schrödinger a slight sense of astonishment.

They hadn't seen each other in a while. Had the Honkai in the real world become so weak?

"You two are...? Out hunting Herrscher Cores?"

Schrödinger looked at the small pile of cores, her feelings somewhat complicated.

Then, something that made her feel even more complicated happened.

When Kiana heard that her sister's friend could go home, she immediately swallowed all the Herrscher Cores in one go.

Kiana said with equal pleasant surprise, "Sis, we can go back with your friend now. What are we still doing here? Let's leave together quickly!"

Durandal slapped her forehead and immediately snapped out of it.

She looked at Schrödinger and asked, "Come back with us. With you, our future path of hunting Herrschers will be smooth sailing!"

Schrödinger pursed her lips, a little worried that if she didn't go with them, she would be killed by the two sisters teaming up. She had been a little confident in her own life-saving skills, but now it seemed her confidence was a bit lacking.
