Without Alona, ​​I can only use the airdrop system.

"Tch!!" Nihilista clutched his still-painful forehead, his teeth clenched, his anger still burning.

Being defeated in a one-on-one fight by a human was a disgrace to Lecher, a tyrant-level subordinate of Queen Lecher!

"Do you still need my help, Miss Nihilista?"

At this moment, a robot wearing tattered monk's robes and a round hat walked over, with a green gem hanging from his waist.

“Gabriel?” Nihilista noticed the robot in front of him. “Give me a little more of that crimson power you gave me before!”

“Of course, no problem, Miss Nihilista. I can inject more Punishing Virus into your body,” Gabriel said. “But there’s one piece of advice…”

"Forget all advice! I don't want to hear it!" Nihilista's eyes were bloodshot. "Inject more Punishing Virus into me now!"

“Alright.” Gabriel’s voice sounded regretful. “Well then, Miss Nihilista, good luck.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of scarlet liquid suddenly appeared in Gabriel's hand. When he placed it on Nihilista's back, the liquid suddenly seeped into Nihilista's body and then disappeared.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

With a roar from Nihilista, she suddenly unleashed a violent surge of power, causing the ground nearby to tremble horribly!

“It seems that the Tyrant-level Rachel is even more powerful than I imagined.” Gabriel laughed as he looked at Nihilista, who had only gone berserk and even gained some strength after being injected with a large amount of Punishing Virus. “Perfect, I can do some experiments on those low-level Rachel who are infected with Punishing Virus. Maybe it will give me some unexpected surprises and also help my new master.”

Not long after, Nissilista collapsed unconscious, and the surroundings returned to calm.

"Interesting. After enduring so many Punishing Viruses, there haven't been any obvious changes. Well then, let's say goodbye for now."

After observing that she showed no abnormalities, Gabriel also left.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ziling and her group returned to their base in Eden.

Because Zhang Ziling had an appointment with Cecil, he got straight to the point.

As for the rest of the group, after a brief conversation, Kahn took the initiative to invite the teacher to have tea together, while Anis, Labi, and Nien went for a stroll in the Garden of Eden with the other three members of the Gray Raven Squad, and only Hina chose to go back to sleep.

However, Dorothy had been waiting at the door for quite some time before Hina arrived at her temporary room.

“Miss Sorasaki,” Dorothy said with her signature smile, “there are some things I’d like to discuss with you.”

"..." Hina's gaze became wary. "Dorothy, if you're trying to pull me into Eden, then forget it."

“Hehe, of course not.” Dorothy maintained her smile. “I’m just curious, how did you and that human called ‘teacher’ meet?”

"No comment."

“Alright then.” Dorothy still seemed unwilling to give up and continued to press, “But, as Niki, what are your views on humans?”

"?" Hina found the question puzzling.

After all, in Kivotos, they are considered human beings as students and local animal residents.

Hina wasn't very familiar with this world either, and in order not to cause trouble for her teacher and Zhang Ziling, she coldly said, "I'm sorry, Miss Dorothy, I don't want to answer."

"Sigh, alright then." Dorothy shook her head.

It's likely that this child was deeply hurt by humans and encountered this "white moonlight" whom she calls her teacher. Judging from their relationship, it's probably that Hina was accidentally found by her teacher while he was exploring extraterrestrial areas.

But how could a human possibly accompany Niki for a lifetime?

Moreover, humans would fear the power that Niki possesses, especially since Hina, as Niki, has abilities comparable to those of a member of the Goddess Squad during her lifetime.

The teacher, an ordinary human being, would eventually be scared away or even betrayed by Hina's monstrous power.

Sigh, she'll understand the difference between humans and Niki sooner or later.

In a flash, Dorothy said to Hina, "If one day you are betrayed or abandoned by that human named Teacher, you can come to Eden to find me at any time."

After saying this sentence, which had no meaning for Hina, Dorothy left.

"???" Hina looked at Dorothy in confusion, then went back to her room to sleep.

After all, Hina didn't believe that her teacher would betray her or abandon her as Dorothy had suggested.

Instead, she felt a little angry.

What angered her was that Dorothy didn't understand her or her teacher at all, yet she arbitrarily drew her own conclusions.

It seems there are self-righteous people among adults too.

Hinata thought of this and then left to meet up with Rabi and the others.

Meanwhile, in Kahn's temporary room.

The teacher and Kahn had been talking for a while.

After taking a sip of tea, the teacher looked at Kahn and said, "Brother Kahn, you still have Thunder Yatalis as your trump card, right?"

“That’s right.” Kahn didn’t hide anything. “This is my other trump card. But Brother Yang, your trump card is probably the Emperor Armor, isn’t it?”

"Yes."

Both sides immediately showed expressions of surprise.

This unexpected event stemmed from a tacit understanding within one's own subconscious.

Is this the bond between the Armor Heroes?

The teacher continued, "The Emperor's Belt was a gift from my eldest brother, as was the Light and Shadow Bloodline."

"Huh?" Kahn was incredulous. "You're saying the Emperor Armor was a gift from someone? And who's your older brother?"

Then, the teacher recounted some of her encounters with the Doctor, and at Kahn's urging, the teacher also shared her experience of encountering the Reincarnator enemies in Kivotos.

"I didn't expect that there would be reincarnators in your world, Kivotos." After listening to his teacher's explanation, Kahn nodded with satisfaction. "It seems that your world is a bit more troublesome than I thought."

The teacher looked at Kahn with equal curiosity: "By the way, how did you obtain your Gundam transformation power and Thunder Yatalis?"

"I was able to use the Gundam transformation subconsciously after I was reincarnated in the Hanging Gardens and became a student at a military academy," Kahn said. "However, I only started using this power after graduating from the academy and carrying out missions."

The teacher looked envious after hearing this.

Compared to Terra Armaments, which couldn't be used directly in combat at the beginning, Gundam's power is a bit monotonous, but it has the advantage of being able to go to the front line to fight from the start.

"As for Thunder Yatalis, during a mission, we faced several powerful Reincarnators. Lucia and the others all fell, and only I was left to hold on. A bolt of lightning struck me, and then I gained the power of Yatalis, and finally defeated them."

This is way too much like a deus ex machina!

The teacher was ashamed after hearing this.

However, based on what I learned from the doctor, it's possible that Kahn obtained the power of Thunder Yatalis with the help of the world's will, in order to deal with the invading reincarnators.

The same principle likely applies to Zhang Ziling's Asura Armor.

"By the way, Brother Yang," Kahn said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I'd like to ask you, how did you confess to Miss Hina back then?"

"Um, could it be that you...?"

“Yes, it’s about Lucia,” Kahn explained. “I want to take our relationship to the next level, but I don’t know how…”

"Oh, no problem, I can share my experience with you."

The teacher then began to tell Kahn about her own feelings regarding her relationship with Hina.

Kahn listened very attentively, even taking out a notebook to take detailed notes and drawing a mind map.

After a while, someone rang the doorbell.

"Brother Yang, Xiao Ka, are you guys inside?"

Zhang Ziling's voice followed immediately.

Kahn immediately stood up: "Brother Ling, I'll open the door right away!"

As soon as Zhang Ziling entered, the teacher eagerly asked, "By the way, Ziling, have you encountered any reincarnators yet?"

"A reincarnator?" Zhang Ziling looked bewildered. "Is it the reincarnator from the novel 'Endless Fear,' who can travel between different worlds? I haven't encountered one here."

"Huh? There isn't one?" Kahn was also surprised.

“No, there aren’t any.” Zhang Ziling shook his head. “We only encountered some rather strange Lechers on the ground. Although they don’t reach the Tyrant level in terms of specifications, some of their abilities are more troublesome than some Tyrant-level Lechers.”

The teacher and Kahn fell silent after hearing this.

"Why aren't you talking anymore?"

"Is it possible?" Kahn was exasperated. "The invading reincarnations of your world have all become Rachel?"

"what???"

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang Ziling rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment before realizing what was going on: "Hiss—, maybe that's really the case! I obtained my Shura Armor when facing a dual-wielding Rachel who could stop time. Before I defeated him with my Shura Armor, he even said 'I refuse to accept this' in a mechanical voice!"

Isn't that obvious? What Lecher, who isn't at the high-end combat level, could use time-stop abilities?

The teacher was equally speechless: "I never expected that the world's will, like Giwatos's, could actually restrict the form of reincarnators in this world."

"I see." Zhang Ziling said admiringly after hearing this. "It seems that Brother Yang is very experienced."

"My older brother taught me all of these things."

"Is it that doctor? I'm very curious about what kind of person that doctor is." Kahn then looked at Zhang Ziling, "By the way, Brother Ling, did you get any information about the antidote from Cecil?"

“The antidote requires a very special metal material, and we don’t have the materials to make it right now,” Zhang Ziling said. “So I also discussed it with William. Tomorrow, he and I, along with our team, will go and capture a Tyrant-class Rachel to collect its metal as one of the materials for the antidote.”

"What is the other material?" the teacher asked curiously.

"I won't reveal that yet, hehe." Zhang Ziling immediately said, "By the way, you guys should come along tomorrow too, I'm afraid Nihilista might come back to fight."

"No problem." The teacher nodded.

"Will Dorothy come?" Kahn asked.

“She won’t,” Zhang Ziling said. “Besides, I saw her with Barbie Long on my way back to my room.”

"..." Kahn fell into deep thought.

"Kahn, do you think there's something wrong with Dorothy?" Zhang Ziling asked curiously, looking at Kahn.

“Hmm.” Kahn nodded. “She probably has something on her mind, and that mind has caused her to be hostile towards humans like us. Although she hides this hostility very well, it still can’t escape my senses.”

“I feel that way too.” Zhang Ziling waved her hand without hesitation and said, “Sigh, it’s just that we’ve been persecuted by those brain-dead high-ups in Ark.”

"Brother Ziling, are you so sure?" Kahn was very surprised.

“I have had contact with some of the higher-ups at Ark,” Zhang Ziling said. “Aside from a few people I approve of, many others are just pampered, short-sighted individuals who would rather cling to their own mountains of gold and silver than take a gamble and go all out.”

"If it weren't for me, they would still be hiding in their turtle shells, and every now and then they would gather some Niki and others to send themselves to their deaths on the ground."

"In addition, they would also weaken Niki's power for fear that she would use force to seize power. I learned from some files that the destruction of the Goddess Force decades ago was largely due to the high-ranking officials of the Ark."

"..." Kahn was embarrassed.

Although the council of the Hanging Gardens has various contradictions and infighting, it is generally united in eliminating the Punishing virus.

I just didn't expect that the higher-ups at Ark would be even more outrageous than those at Sky Garden.

Thinking about this through comparison, Kahn felt for the first time that even the annoying Kurono seemed to have become friendly.

“Speaking of which, based on what I know before, Dorothy was once a member of the Goddess Force,” Zhang Ziling said. “So Dorothy was probably betrayed by the Ark, which is why she can’t forgive them, and consequently, she can’t forgive humanity. It’s that simple.”

“That’s a classic plot point,” Kahn nodded. “I know an Ascended who hated humanity for reasons similar to Dorothy’s. But it was this hatred that fueled her to become an Ascended.”

"It's truly a classic," the teacher remarked with emotion. "Some people, having been betrayed by a segment of humanity, then set their sights on all of humanity for revenge, thus acquiring the aim of destroying the world."

“While I don’t think it’s entirely correct, it’s roughly like that,” Kahn nodded.

"Haha, I can't find a point to refute it," Zhang Ziling said with a helpless smile. "However, I can understand Dorothy's thoughts to some extent."

“Me too,” Kahn nodded.

After all, one of them died while on a mission, and the other died in a plane crash.

But the teacher also understood that the two men were far more capable than himself, and needless to say, their deaths were largely related to political matters.

“Dorothy’s little schemes are no big deal to me,” Zhang Ziling said with a smile. “I’m confident I can stop her when she tries to cause trouble.”

"However, thanks to Xiao Ka and Brother Yang for the reminder."

Afterwards, the three of them began to chat about other topics.
