"Leanna? What's wrong? Um... wait a minute, this thing is malfunctioning a little."

Tesla withdrew after saying that.

Leanna looked at the Tesla, which had gotten itself all dirty, with a wry smile, but there was nothing she could do but wait.

It took Tesla about ten minutes to completely climb out from under the machine.

"Phew—now we can get down to business."

Tesla patted himself down—then let the oil and dust on his hands and clothes "exchange."

"Tell me what's going on."

"We need you to take a look at the Sky Dome area."

"The Sky Dome...? Oh, the place where Himeko was on fieldwork? What happened? Did Himeko have an accident?"

“…No, that’s not the case.”

Judging from Tesla's demeanor, Leanna knew that he didn't care much about what was happening outside.

Well, researchers like Tesla don't need to worry about external matters. In military affairs, there's her and Joyce; in administration, there's Edison and Planck.

Tesla and Einstein can just focus on their scientific research.

"There's a possibility of multiple Herrschers emerging over there, so we need to take appropriate precautions."

"Multiple Herrschers? Leona, are you kidding me..."

Leanna smiled without saying a word.

Well, Tesla knew that Leanna wouldn't joke about something like this.

"Then... what kind of preventative measures are you talking about? Airdropping the Father?"

"No, the Herrschers are in charge of the Sky Dome District. You can just take the equipment there and cover for them."

"...Couldn't we leave this kind of thing to Cocolia?"

Although Cocolia is a soldier, he is capable of being a third-rate scientist.

“Cocolia is being closely watched by Destiny, so it's not easy for her to make a move.”

"Shall we let Joyce go out for a stroll?"

“Please treat Joyce like a human being,” Leanna sighed.

"What about Ryoma?"

"He is responsible for working with the Inazuma side to maintain stability in the Far East—after all, the Tenmei Far East Branch cannot be relied upon in this regard."

The Far East branch does not actually have much influence in the Far East.

"Huh—? Never mind." Tesla waved his hand dismissively. "So this falls to me, huh? Got it? Now tell me in detail what I'm supposed to do?"

Tesla isn't one to sit in an office; going out on fieldwork is no big deal for her.

“Take the latest Herrscher capture device we’ve developed and go on a paid vacation over there,” Leanna chuckled.

She still really likes Tesla's "get things done" attitude.

After listening to Leanna's words, Tesla pondered for a moment, chin in hand: "You're counting on that thing? It hasn't been tested in actual combat yet. The parameters are sufficient, but who knows what the opponent's Herrscher powers are?"

Although they have a Lawyer, this thing can't be used to verify scientific products—or rather, even if it were verified, it wouldn't be of any reference value.

The hypothetical enemy of their own capture device is Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void from back then.

"If you're pinning your hopes on that, I suggest airdropping the Father directly. Although the Father is a bit stupid, it can still beat up a stupid Herrscher on the first meeting. As long as I equip it with a capture device, beating it up before capturing it is still a pretty reliable strategy."

In Tesla's own opinion, Celine was actually quite stupid back then, but she was just incredibly lucky.

"While I understand Dr. Tesla's desire to drive... Gundam? Is that what it's called? I can understand your impulse to drive a Gundam, but you shouldn't be so impulsive about things like this."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Tesla looked utterly defeated; it was a really strange feeling to be scolded by his mother...

"Am I going alone this time? Over there... I remember Himeko went with Seele, right? Am I not going to bring anyone?"

"No need, most of the people over there are friends now."

Although everyone has their own reasons, the "encirclement of Herrschers of Dominion" in the Sky Dome District is already taking shape.

With multiple forces fighting side by side, is there a better way to build closer relationships?

“Ha… friend.” Tesla shrugged as if he had heard a joke.

It's quite ridiculous to be friends with Destiny, after all, Anti-Entropy's predecessor was the North American branch—although it was bought by Nancy—that is, Edison.

No, saying it was a purchase isn't accurate. In reality, Edison used money to seduce Otto, and then proposed to provide manpower and funding to "help" Destiny establish a branch in North America.

The so-called "help" is just that everyone who knows, in short, Destiny's management ability over the North American branch is 0. It can only annoy people through the council - and then the council was killed by Otto because everyone wanted to annoy people. From beginning to end, apart from the name, the North American branch has nothing to do with Destiny. Occasionally, it sucks blood from Destiny, but it is "return flow". It was built entirely by Edison throwing money at it.

Well, Edison wanted to "invest" in Destiny for two reasons. On one hand, he needed Destiny's information and intelligence on Collapse. On the other hand... Edison had a bit of a desire to take over back then.

With his generous funding, Edison poached many talents from the Felixs – Planck and Schrödinger came from there.

If Otto hadn't kept a tight rein on Valkyrie, she could have easily poached her.

Therefore, the relationship between the North American branch and the Destiny headquarters was always one of fierce competition.

There's nothing else to it; Edison was simply good at making money. Otto couldn't, but Edison could, and that was the source of Edison's confidence.

Then, well, while Edison was digging around in the corner, Otto flipped the table, almost killing them all.

Then came independence—although the difference between independence and independence was not significant, it was just that independence led to a complete breakdown in relations.

“Otto is different from the Valkyries,” Leiana said, looking at Tesla with a helpless expression. “For example, me.”

Tesla shrugs. The problem is, you're the only one, Leona.

“Maybe a second anti-entropy will emerge,” Leanna continued, trying to persuade Tesla, seeing his reaction.

"Reversing entropy isn't that simple..." Tesla said, indicating that he wasn't stupid.

If the North American branch had any connection to Destiny back then, they would have been dead...

"That's not necessarily the case."

"Ha... Okay, okay, stop talking about this nonsense. I didn't say I wasn't going."

Tesla scratched her head—her hair was already as dirty as it could possibly be.

Give me a few days to prepare.

"Yes, we will also prepare a safe travel plan for you."

"...Can you fight again, Lord Liu Bai?" Miyuki Chiyo held a wooden stick in one hand and a wooden sword in the other, smiling as she looked at Liu Bai.

"Ah...no, I give up."

Liu Bai collapsed to the ground, leaning on his wooden sword.

"As expected, a strong person like you going all out exceeds my limits."

"Your ability to defeat Sara and Ayaka has already exceeded my expectations," Mikoto Chiyo comforted her.

【Chiyo Mikoto's Affection Level: 2833】

Miyuki Chiyo had actually heard about Ryuhaku before she arrived—which is why Miyuki Chiyo's favorability rating towards Ryuhaku was a relatively high value of 24.

But seeing it now... this talent is even more exaggerated than what I heard from Sara.

So outstanding—so outstanding that Mikoto Chiyo now wants to drag Ryuhaku up and beat him up again.

Neither of them used the Eye of God.

Liu Bai knew perfectly well how he won.

Ayaka Kamisato did not use the Eye of God.

Kujo Sara did not use the Eye of God, nor did she fly, nor did she use a bow.

Liu Bai was already very skilled at dealing with katana-type weapons thanks to Huang Quan's training, not to mention that the two of them hadn't even exceeded their reaction limits.

Mikoto Chiyo truly showed no mercy—and this person didn't care about the Eye of God.

Liu Bai was lucky to avoid getting a head full of bumps.

However... Mikoto Chiyo is not just a versatile character; she seems to be able to handle most conventional melee weapons.

In addition, the upper limit of output is just that, so there won't be a situation like Huang Quan's, where "it can be used, but I can't control the force well," which would make people give up.

"Chiyo, how about letting me win one round?"

Even with these additions, Liu Bai still wanted to get a small guaranteed amount of coins, but he still wanted to be greedy.

"No, a real man should win with his own hands."

Mikoto Chiyo smiled and refused Liu Bai's request.

Continuing this topic will either be seen as a joke or lower my reputation.

Liu Bai did not continue the conversation.

For them, winning or losing is still very important; a fair and square victory can even win them favor.

"You don't need to belittle yourself. In normal sparring, no one would use the Divine Eye or other means. In my opinion, you have already done a great job."

Mikoto Chiyo looked at Liu Bai with a smile.

Full power? Who would use their full power in a sparring match?

Even she, when attacking, doesn't hold back, and immediately stops when she hits.

"That's right, it's amazing."

Kujo Sara came to Liu Bai's side.

Should I help you up?

"No, no need, I'll just lie here for a while." Shiro declined Kujo Sara's offer.

"Then please have some water." Ayaka Kamisato also came over with a glass of water.

"What to drink?"

"Eh?"

…………

"Ying, what do you think of Liu Bai's performance?" Hu Zhaigong, after instigating her older sister, came over to instigate her younger sister.

"Very excellent, but also a bit of a pity."

Ying watched the whole thing from the side, and nodded as she looked at Liu Bai, who was now being cared for by the two girls.

"Age isn't a problem, is it?" Fox Palace asked with a smile.

"Lord Liu Bai has no intention of studying and practicing diligently."

Ying thought for a moment and gave her own feeling.

He did not pursue martial arts.

"Isn't that normal?" Fox Palace smiled. "For someone like Liu Bai, force is just a means to achieve a goal, not the goal itself."

Lei nodded knowingly.

She understands this principle.

Some people don't need force—like her sister.
