Honkai: Strijder (Honkai Impact 3 Male MC)

Wendy found it quite inexplicable.

Early in the morning, seemingly indifferent but actually very concerned Bronya pushed her to the washroom.

Miss Seele, exuding gentleness from inside out, helped her with morning hygiene, welcoming the day in a refreshing manner.

After that, she wheeled herself to the courtyard, intending to take a breath of fresh air and relax before breakfast.

However, three people jumped out in front of her.

"I am Kiana, one of the three kings of the orphanage!"

"The second of the three kings, Rozaliya!"

"And the third, Liliya!"

"Celebrate! This is the moment of the kings' arrival!" (x3)

The three girls each struck strange poses and burst into laughter in front of Wendy.

This was the inexplicable part.

Logically, the ones arranged by Anti-Entropy to entertain her shouldn't be these three fools, right?

The cold and cool handsome boy from yesterday would have been more suitable.

"You guys..."

Wendy hesitated. Could it be that Anti-Entropy had a recent drama performance, and she accidentally stumbled into the rehearsal scene of these people?

Then, Kiana put her hands on her hips and proudly said, "Wendy, listen up! We are the leaders of the orphanage, the invincible organization that commands all the children! I really appreciate you, so I invite you to become the fourth member of the Three Kings. Don't thank me too much, just think about what pose you want to use!"

"...Isn't it the Three Kings? Where does the fourth member come from?"

"Don't pay attention to such details!"

"I refuse."

Wendy turned her wheelchair, intending to breathe some fresh air in a different place.

Kiana and Rozaliya quickly blocked the wheelchair, saying, "No, why refuse!?"

"Yeah! We are very sincere!"

Under their anxious gazes, Wendy slowly turned her head, glanced at them, and said with a straight face, "Because it looks too foolish."

"Gah!" (x2)

The two fools petrified, shaking like they were about to fall apart in the wind.

Liliya covered her face, shook her head, and sighed expressionlessly.

Finally, someone came forward and told the truth.

If it weren't for Kiana and Rozaliya pestering her, she wouldn't have been willing to go along!

Wendy spread apart the two hands on her wheelchair, pushed it decisively, and went far away. It seemed like she was afraid of being infected.

But after turning away from the three, a faint smile actually appeared on Wendy's face.

It's different from the time with the Oceania branch.

When she slept, there were other girls around, whispering until late. Rozaliya's snoring was a bit noisy, but it felt particularly reassuring after falling asleep.

Not everyone was very friendly, or rather, there were quite a few strange people here.

However, there was no one staring at her 24/7, and no one would mock her legs. She could even push her wheelchair around on her own.

Was this really Anti-Entropy?

Or maybe, true Anti-Entropy was like this?

Wendy arrived at another quiet place, closed her eyes, took a deep breath a few times, and suddenly felt—maybe it was acceptable to be brought here because of the desire for gems.

Today's breakfast was particularly lively, perhaps the most lively in the orphanage.

So Welt casually extended the large round table in the living room by a considerable length, giving it a feeling of a noble long table, just enough for everyone to sit.

Welt sat in the middle, holding a book, reading attentively.

Look at that seriousness; it made people suspect if he had been reading all night.

After all, being a lawyer, his spirited look couldn't prove that he had slept well.

Welt was flanked by a yawning Tesla and Einstein, who never forgot his black tea.

The three of them didn't communicate, but there was a strange atmosphere of peaceful coexistence, very harmonious.

The Raiden father and daughter duo sat in a nearby place, indicating their factional stance.

The orphanage children occupied most of the seats at the long table, with Sigurd sitting in the middle.

A few overly energetic children chattered non-stop around Sigurd—mainly Kiana and Sin Mal, making him support his head and close his eyes, looking visibly exhausted.

Wendy wheeled herself into the living room, thinking she might be assigned to some well-monitored spot. However, nobody paid her any attention.

After silently observing for a while, she found a relatively wide spot among the girls and quietly wheeled herself into a seat.

Then she noticed a gray-haired woman, wearing a white dress, sitting stiffly next to her—the only person she hadn't seen before.

Wendy thought for a moment but didn't greet her.

Since she didn't know the person, she was probably some high-ranking member of Anti-Entropy, right?

A proud and aloof Valkyrie, she would never initiate a conversation with someone from Anti-Entropy!

'Everyone here is an enemy!'

Wendy squinted, scrutinizing the people who actually didn't pay any attention to her, reminding herself to stay firm and never let her guard down.

Before long, the busy Seele, Bronya, and Cocolia finally came out with breakfast.

After several rounds of serving, everyone received their breakfast and began to eat.

"By the way, this person is a member of the 'World Serpent' we captured. I interrogated her, and she doesn't know much, but at least we have a preliminary understanding of this organization. What do you think, Sigurd?"

Cocolia, holding a sausage, pointed at the Raven, who had been forced to wear an innocent and pure white dress.

Sigurd took a sip of milk, then turned to Raven.

"Stay here as a laborer. You can also serve as bait, and maybe we can catch something. What about the Third Key of the God Keys?"

Cocolia waved her hand, and a black sniper-like weapon appeared on the table, pushed towards Sigurd.

"The Third God Key, 'Key of Thunder,' has an incredible high-dimensional perspective and powerful pinpoint destruction capabilities. Especially the atomic disintegration bullet that temporarily damages the target, theoretically an absolute one-shot kill, quite formidable."

Welt Yang praised, showing admiration for the revolutionary technology of the ancient civilization.

Sigurd glanced at him.

"So, have you learned how to reproduce it?"

Cough! Cough!

"I mean, you, someone with a genuine Herrscher Core, can only reproduce an aircraft carrier when fighting. Don't you feel embarrassed? At least you need to be able to mimic three or five God Key."

"Well, it's not as simple as you think."

Welt replied slightly embarrassed.

The prerequisite for reproduction is to first understand the construction and principles of the weapon. Just the level of an aircraft carrier would take Welt a long time to learn.

Currently, the only God Key structure he grasped was the "Star of Eden," and that was only achieved with the help of Joyce's imprint, along with assistance from Tesla and Einstein.

Asking him to analyze another God Key would be challenging, perhaps impossible, for at least five or ten years.

Sigurd shook his head.

"So, as I said, the power of a Herrscher is practically wasted on you. Why not give it to me?"

"Enough already. How long are you going to keep this joke going?"

"I'll take the God Key then. Otto is supposed to send me a batch of Soulium soon, so we can research it together."

"I'm not very knowledgeable about research, but I hope you can achieve something. Tesla and Einstein are also very capable, so with all of you together, it should be fine."

Welt smiled.

Raven numbly ate her food. When the topic turned to her, she displayed an indifferent attitude—anyway, there were probably countless invisible robots watching, and there was also the First Herrscher sitting under the same roof as her.

There was no way for her to fight back against them.

Wendy, holding her milk, glanced at her.

"So, you were also brought here?"

"...You too?"

"Yeah, Wendy, Valkyrie of Destiny, Gem of Desire.' Nice to meet you."

"Oh, in that case, the Third God Key was crafted using the core of the Thunder Herrscher by the Previous Era civilization. Originally, it was my weapon, so the reason we were captured should be similar. Call me Raven. I'm from the World Serpent."

The two girls, one big and one small, shook hands.

It seemed light-hearted, but behind the scenes, there were thoughts like Gem of Desire!?' and 'God Key!?'

Raven knew that the "Judgment of Shamash" was also here.

Wendy knew that, last night in the lab, besides her, there was another person implanted with a core, harboring "Gem of Conquest," Radein Mei.

The two finished their handshake, and at the same time, they practically severed their thoughts of leaving.
