Yuno looked at the landing aircraft and felt that this mission was too easy. Luo Chen was the only one doing the work, and everyone else was just there to make up the numbers.
"You've completed your mission. I'll stay and help the branch clear out the Honkai Beasts."
Luo Chen said with a look of utter despair, not knowing why he was left behind, but that didn't stop him from cursing Otto from afar.
"Seriously, it must be Green Tor's idea again! I really want to punch that steel-faced guy in the face; the sound would be exceptionally crisp."
"what are you saying?"
Yuna didn't understand and hoped Luo Chen could explain, but was refused.
"Hurry up and get on the Hyperion, be careful another accident might happen. Wait for me up there."
"I know, you're acting like an old woman."
Luo Chen pinched Yuno's nose with one hand, shook it, and then let go. He couldn't help but laugh as he watched Yuno pretend to be angry.
"Okay, go back quickly."
"Luo Chen, are you going to stay here?"
Mei said worriedly that although Luo Chen was rarely injured now, she was still worried about his safety every time he went on a mission.
"Don't worry, they're just some small monsters, they can't hurt me."
"Alright then, let's head back to Hyperion first."
Chapter 114 This thing is actually made of Soul Steel!
After clearing out the Honkai Beasts at the designated location, Luo Chen returned to the Hyperion and went back to St. Freya with everyone else. The rest of the work was left to the Oceania branch to deal with.
Upon landing on the Hyperion, Himeko immediately led the third squad and Wendy to the laboratory prepared by Theresa.
Apart from Luo Chen, the rest of the third squad were dismissed by Himeko and sent back to their dormitories.
"Lady Theresa, hello."
Wendy looked at Theresa, who had been waiting for a long time, and nodded slightly, unsure of how to face her.
"Wendy, it's been a long time."
Theresa looked at Wendy's legs and couldn't help but feel guilty. If it weren't for her recommendation, Wendy wouldn't be stuck in a wheelchair.
"Lady Theresa, don't blame yourself, this was my own choice."
Theresa walked up to Wendy, took her hands, and looked into Wendy's eyes with a guilty expression.
Luo Chen and Ji Zi watched the two talking from the side, thinking that it was incredibly satisfying to have just recruited a Herrscher-level combatant, and began to think about what to do next.
'I'm not sure if the base coordinates Gray Serpent gave me are accurate; I'll check them out in a few days. Also, I need to bring that vial of reagent, just in case.'
"Luo Chen, go and prepare the exoskeleton armor. Himeko, come and help me prepare it."
"it is good."
Luo Chen walked to the innermost part of the laboratory, opened the box there, took out the exoskeleton armor, adjusted it, and after confirming that there were no problems, brought it to the main hall.
Wendy looked at the exoskeleton armor that Luo Chen had brought back, her eyes shining with a burning desire to put it on right now.
"This is your exoskeleton armor. After being modified by Bishop Otto, it can now be controlled directly using Honkai energy."
Seeing Wendy's excited expression, Luo Chen activated the exoskeleton armor and then had Himeko push Wendy over.
"By the way, didn't you originally say you wanted it to be controlled by a biochip?"
Theresa watched Luo Chen tapping on the electronic screen, and recalling what he had said to her before, she voiced her question.
"That was my original idea, but Bishop Otto modified the armor so that it could be controlled solely by Honkai energy, rendering the biochip useless. Alright!"
Luo Chen closed the screen. He had finished adjusting the exoskeleton armor, and now all that was left was for Wendy to put it on and test its performance.
Wendy was helped up from her wheelchair by Himeko and sat in the chair that Theresa had prepared for her, her whole body filled with excitement.
Luo Chen armor was installed on Wendy one after another, connecting the limbs to the main body, and finally activating the energy device on the back of the armor.
"Wendy, try to transfer Honkai energy into the armor and then control it."
"Okay, I'll try."
Wendy closed her eyes, activated Honkai energy to control the armor, and soon the pure white armor was tinged with emerald green, and the energy device on the back also emitted green light.
Wendy's leg suddenly twitched, then slowly lifted up and swayed back and forth a few times.
"It seems to have worked."
Luo Chen smiled with relief, finally Wendy could stand up again, and one of his wishes had been fulfilled.
Wendy stood up, leaning against the wall, standing on one leg while swinging the other leg back and forth, then switched legs.
Before long, Wendy had basically adapted, walking around the lab. After Luo Chen confirmed that there were no other problems, she returned to her chair and sat down.
"The armor is basically fine now. From what I've observed, the power unit can last for about a month on a single charge, after which it will need to be recharged."
Luo Chen walked behind Wendy and tried to inject his Honkai energy, but failed, which surprised him.
"What's going on? Mine isn't working?"
"Really? Then why can mine?"
"I'll try."
Theresa and Himeko tested it one after another, but without exception, it didn't work, which made Luo Chen seem to have discovered the reason.
Luo Chen injected the erosion and destruction energy into it, and the original green and white armor took on a pinkish hue. The chest plate also slowly shrank and disappeared, leaving only the leg armor part of the entire suit of armor.
"Soul steel?"
Looking at the changes in the armor, Luo Chen immediately realized that it was made of Soul Steel, and wondered why he hadn't noticed it before.
"This thing is actually Soul Steel! Xiao Chen, what kind of strange deal did you make with Grandpa to get it?"
"Don't talk so far as to say such things. It's like I signed a contract to sell myself into servitude."
"Who knows if you are?"
Himeko covered her mouth and laughed next to Theresa. After laughing enough, she put her hand down, her expression returned to calm, and she whispered something to Theresa.
After a moment, Theresa nodded, and the two stopped talking. Then Theresa said, "Wendy, do you want to go back to St. Freya?"
"miss you!"
Wendy answered without hesitation, "Luo Chen, Theresa, and Himeko have helped me so much, and I have nothing to repay you with."
"Let's forget about any rewards or anything; it's not necessary for something like this."
"Luo Chen is right, we don't need anything in return from you. Just focus on your studies at the academy."
Hearing Theresa's words, Luo Chen interrupted, asking curiously, "By the way, isn't Wendy an A-rank Valkyrie? Why does she need to study?"
"Aren't you also an A-level student? You still attend classes."
Himeko patted Luo Chen on the back, finding it somewhat amusing.
Next, Theresa explained a series of things to Wendy. When she got to the part about installing safety measures for Wendy, Luo Chen interrupted the conversation again.
"Aunt Theresa, I have a question. Are you sure that bomb really worked?"
"Why do you say that?"
Theresa was puzzled. In her understanding, the bomb was placed near the heart; it couldn't have been useless.
"Just think about it first. That thing is controlled by electromagnetic waves, right? Putting Wendy aside, Mei is the Herrscher of Thunder. Would it really be useful to put this thing on her?"
Theresa thought about it carefully and realized that Luo Chen's words made some sense, so she wanted to hear his opinion.
"If you ask me, there's no point in pretending. It's useless anyway. If the Herrscher personality really awakens, I can just send her back."
"really."
Theresa was speechless, having guessed that Luo Chen would come up with such a simple and crude solution.
"Little one, you're thinking too simply. You can't be with Wendy every single moment."
Himeko reminded Luo Chen that while she somewhat agreed with what he said, it didn't mean she would agree with it.
"Actually, we don't need to focus too much on this. Mei's Herrscher personality hasn't shown up for so long, and Yuno's hasn't even appeared..."
Luo Chen's voice gradually faded, and finally he stood still in place, silent.
"Luo Chen, what's wrong?"
Theresa was startled by Luo Chen's actions and waved her small hand in front of his eyes a few times, but Luo Chen still did not make any other move.
'Yes, Yuno's personality wasn't corrupted by the Herrscher personality, but she didn't exhibit the behavior of the Herrscher of Thunder. However, the pseudo-Herrschers I encountered before were mostly those whose bodies were taken over by the Herrscher personality. What exactly is going on...?'
"Luo Chen!"
Theresa's shout brought Luo Chen back to reality. Luo Chen covered his ears, closed one eye, and made a strange expression at Theresa.
"Aunt Theresa, why are you shouting so loudly?"
"You were just spacing out. What were you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, just a small matter. Aunt Theresa, I'll be going now if there's nothing else."
"Alright, go and rest."
