Chapter 224 Who do you like more?
Sea Abyss City, Medical Clinic.
"Alliance Leader, there's something I need to tell you..."
After straightening his clothes, Walter waved to the staff who had come with him.
"We'll talk about everything later. If it's that man, you don't need to worry about him."
But that matter is extremely urgent!
The staff wanted to inform Walter that Anti-Entropy headquarters had been briefly captured and Dr. Tesla had been captured by Schicksal, but Walter was like this...
"No matter how urgent it is, wait a moment, let me sort out my thoughts. This is really... cough cough!"
Showing an embarrassed expression in front of his troubled subordinates is not how a good leader should act. Realizing this, Lao Yang immediately put on a stern face.
"Leader, actually..."
"Brother Qiong, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine! At least much better than Uncle Yang is now."
Hearing the familiar voice from the next bed, Walter couldn't help but shudder.
In other words, after Sora put away the Flame Spear, her faded hair returned to its original gray color (thankfully, her eyes were still the same, not turning into the purple of the End or the blue of Kaslana). Otherwise, Welt wouldn't know how to face Sora in front of him—he might subconsciously throw a pseudo-black hole.
Seele looked at Qiong with concern, and Qiong looked at Welt, who was frowning and pretending to be fine. Welt was now keeping his head down and not saying a word... The staff present also felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Sky".
Perhaps sensing Qiong's concerned gaze, Walter finally spoke first—Qiong felt that Old Yang had a few more white hairs on his head than before, though she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.
"Do you have anything to say about the changes you just experienced?"
Walter's tone was full of doubt. If Kevin's early appearance brought him surprise, then the purple flames and white hair of the Dora of the End Saint Mark brought him chaos.
Because it is absolutely impossible for Qiong to have any connection with Kiana, the Herrscher of the End!
Yes, yes!
Qiong sat up in bed and pointed to her head at Lao Yang.
"Just before that, I dreamt of a white-haired woman asking me if I craved power..."
As she spoke, Qiong gestured in a very abstract manner for a while.
Welt frowned. Although he didn't understand what Qiong was gesturing, this kind of gifting of power didn't seem like the operation of the Herrscher of the End, nor like the gaze of the Star God. It seemed more like the Honkai consciousness was tempting him...
"You agreed?"
"No way! She forced it on me! Then I woke up and saw you being... by Kevin—"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
To interrupt Kyō's subsequent, pointless, and irrelevant remarks with a cough, Walter continued with his question.
"Could that white-haired woman you mentioned...could she be Kiana?"
Kiana?
He had his doubts, but after a moment of reflection, Qiong shook his head.
"I can't see her face, and her hairstyle is wrong."
"That can't be said to be wrong."
"The voice doesn't sound right."
"It can be hidden."
"Her waist and legs are thicker than Kiana's."
"Forehead……"
The more I describe it, the more it seems to be true.
……
Walter sighed. He had thought that as a reborn being, he should be invincible, just like in his previous missions: defeat Cocolia, seize the Tranquility Gem, and save Manila...
Moreover, this wasn't just an ordinary rebirth; I also gained Qiong as a little helper. Logically speaking, having foreseen everything, I should have had an easy time fighting against the early stages of the collapse!
But they messed up in that godforsaken place called the Sea of Quanta!
And then there's the mysteriously appearing End Stigmata around Qiong's neck. Judging from Qiong's description, it's Kiana, specifically the Earth Goddess Kiana! But how exactly did that Kiana get involved with Qiong? Is it some kind of power effect that even the Herrscher of the End herself didn't understand? Or is it a star god from the star core or even the galaxy?
he does not know.
Walter glanced at the empty hospital bed beside him. Qiong had said she wanted to bury her clothes in the coral reef of Abyss City, and take Seele with her...
Let's play it safe for now and monitor all the known World Serpent strongholds first! The Moon Throne also needs to be accelerated...
When Walter thought of the Moon Throne, he thought of Ryoma and the others.
With all this recklessness, Qiong even burned out so many precious instruments... To be honest, the destruction Qiong caused in Haiyuan City this time couldn't be matched by ten Kevins. Tesla's going to be furious, right?
The thought of Tesla yelling at Qiong and Qiong hiding behind him to take the blame for him gave Walter a headache... Oh well, he'd just put the blame on Kevin, the World Serpent Lord.
"By the way, where are Ai-in and Ryoma? I haven't seen them."
"Leader, Dr. Einstein and his team have returned to headquarters."
"Back to headquarters? Why?"
Walter didn't quite understand. It had only been a few days! They abandoned their research on the Eye of the Abyss to save them, and their retreat was far too fast!
"Destiny, destiny..."
"Destiny?"
Walter suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Destiny attacked the North American headquarters and kidnapped Dr. Tesla."
"what?!"
Walter jumped out of bed and placed his hands on the staff member's shoulders.
"When did this happen? What exactly happened?!"
"Alliance Leader..."
The staff were struggling to breathe under the pressure.
"Feel sorry."
"Just as you were exploring the Sea of Quanta... the Undying Blade of Destiny arrived, catching us completely off guard... Destiny wants us to exchange the Tranquility Gem for Dr. Tesla."
Walter released his grip, his brow furrowed, and paced back and forth.
Damn it, damn it, damn it! He was so focused on the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle that he forgot Anti-Entropy didn't have a single gem back then! After obtaining the Gem of Desire, Destiny attacked Anti-Entropy quite a bit!
"Dr. Einstein has been replaced."
"No, the disparity in strength between us and the enemy is too great. Who knows if Otto will keep his promise? I have to go!"
Walter gritted his teeth and made a move to leave.
"Leader, your health has not yet recovered..."
"There's no time to wait! You're coming back to headquarters with me. As for the two of them... arrange a plane to St. Freya!"
We must prepare for the worst; fate and anti-entropy may have to go to war sooner than expected.
------------------
"Seele, how do you plan to introduce yourself later?"
Qiong felt she needed to arrange a self-introduction for Seele, this adorable girl who wasn't very good at talking.
"Does Brother Qiong have any advice for Xier?"
"At least say a few words to everyone, right?"
As Qiong finished speaking, she gently patted Seele's head a few times with her right hand, while Seele felt uneasy—because Qiong had said that this time she would not only be meeting Bronya, but also many other sisters she didn't know, such as Mei and Kiana...
We absolutely cannot let Brother Qiong and Sister Bronya down!
What should Seele say?
"For example, your name and hobbies?"
"Um... my name is Seele Freya, and my hobby is sweets..."
"and then?"
"Seele can't figure it out..."
Qiong sighed and ruffled Xi'er's hair – patting someone's head is really addictive, especially when the other person is a well-behaved child who doesn't say she's afraid of not growing tall.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. Seele, if Kiana asks you a question you can't answer, just ask your brother Qiong! Talk to Bronya more about your past..."
As they chatted, they soon arrived at Himeko's house.
There's a reason why Qiongxuan Himeko is on the one hand: Theresa wants to be friendly, so she should at least ask for two comics, but when she and Seele were setting up the cenotaph in Weiming City, Old Yang actually ran away, and he didn't have a chance to ask for the comics...
On the other hand, because we left in such a hurry we didn’t eat much. Instead of looking for Theresa, we should look for the cafeteria. And instead of the cafeteria, we should look for Mei. Mei’s cooking is much better than the cafeteria’s!
Qiong, accompanied by Xier, knocked on Himeko's door.
"Himeko-neechan, open the door! It's me, Sora!"
The door opened, and Mei's gentle smile appeared before Sora.
"Sky~"
Mei completely ignored Seele beside her; she simply stretched out her hands, seemingly asking for a hug.
"Mei, I'm back."
Of course, Sora wouldn't refuse this opportunity to show off their love to others, and immediately hugged Mei—of course, without kissing, since there were other people around.
Hugging Mei, Sora immediately spotted Bronya and Himeko sitting on the sofa.
"Hmph, Bronya, look at your brother Qiong—"
"Sky~"
For some reason, Mei's strength seemed to have increased?
"Let me ask you something: Between Hookclam and White Dew, who do you like more?"
"That's definitely K—"
Qiong: !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
Qiong's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected Mei to ask such a question.
"Between Hookclara and Bailu, who do you like more?"
