Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Everyone was shocked as they watched the big head running around on the ground.

What exactly had Noldrei done to Kiana during the night that they hadn't seen?

They couldn't understand why her head could grow spider-like limbs and run around on the ground?

Why? Why was this happening?

"This thing is so ugly, let's kill it."

Kiana couldn't stand it anymore. Looking at the 'brain' running around on the ground, she truly felt uncomfortable.

That was her brain, and now there was another consciousness in it, constantly shouting about destroying humanity.

It looked too bizarre. Kiana didn't think that was her brain anymore.

Although she had lost her head, she quickly accepted the reality that her brain had been eroded by the Honkai.

Kiana even wanted to kill her own 'brain'.

When a person doesn't look like a person at all, it's hard to consider them a person.

It was like how Kiana's first reaction when she saw Noldrei was to attack him like a monster. But in the end, the other party thought that they primitives hadn't evolved completely and didn't understand the aesthetics of future people.

'The aesthetics of you future people are really too "trendy"...'

Raiden Mei closed her eyes, unwilling to look at the noisy brain anymore.

The Herrscher consciousness that was jumping around and saying that she wanted to destroy humanity was now trapped in this small brain.

"To be fair, your brain is quite cute if it was a bit more stable."

Bronya said that this brain didn't look too bad. It was better than a brain that was constantly going in and out of the body.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Kiana suspected that there was something wrong with Bronya. Had Bronya's aesthetics changed in such a short time?

"Don't look at me. I personally prefer the cyberpunk aesthetic of the future."

Bronya expressed her desired future style. She didn't want to enter a strange Baldur's Gate-like art style in the future.

At most, she just liked to look at brains in jars that were soaked in nutrient solution.

"Let's just leave it like this for now. I've temporarily assembled some simple limbs for her. When necessary, we can let her go out for a run."

Noldrei's tentacles grabbed the brain monster that was running around on the ground. Amidst its endless chatter, those limbs were inserted into his back.

The brain transformed into a soft, living small intestine like a twisted braid, and then twisted back into the fleshy wings and retracted.

Only two large golden eyeballs and a talking mouth were left there.

Sirin's cursing was nothing more than a bunch of nonsense about 'humans', 'revenge', 'Herrschers', and 'gods'.

"I really don't understand. In the future, it's rare to plan to eliminate one's own kind because of personal emotions or the emotions of victims. Most of our actions in that era were based on reason and personal needs. It's like killing elephants for ivory. Unless there's a necessary social need to kill people, we wouldn't specifically carry out industrialized population elimination."

"You're really primitives. You're always driven by low-level emotions like good and evil, joy and anger. Even if you wanted to eliminate all of humanity to create a new natural world without humans, I could understand you."

Noldrei seemed to despise the Herrscher's reasons for destroying humanity. He thought that the Herrscher's reasons for destroying humanity were too low-level.

Sirin seemed to know that her verbal attacks were ineffective and would only make this guy look down on her. Especially since she needed Noldrei to provide the nutrients for her brain to function.

Although Sirin could temporarily leave Noldrei's body, she didn't have any organs to provide nutrients. This caused her Herrscher powers to be locked in this brain.

Not to mention that the core gem didn't listen to her at all now. She didn't know why this person's willpower was so strong that it made her feel like she was collapsing.

'Isn't there anything that can make him mentally collapse?' Sirin fell into chaotic contemplation.

He was a future person after all. What kind of situation hadn't he seen? Trying to make Noldrei's will waver and collapse with some social and emotional problems of primitives was too difficult for a future person.

"We've almost dealt with the Herrscher's matter. I've taken care of Kiana's head for her. Mei, does your head also need to be dealt with? I see that you also have a gem in your body. What if you also have a Herrscher consciousness?"

Noldrei's gaze fell on Raiden Mei, and everyone's gaze followed and fell on Raiden Mei's head.

The young lady was so scared that she immediately held her head with both hands.

When she thought about her head growing limbs and running around on the ground, she immediately developed a high degree of recognition for her human identity.

What Herrscher, what anger, what was the small pain of school bullying compared to this?

What was being used as a human experiment by her father compared to this?

Raiden Mei absolutely wouldn't allow her head to turn into a little monster like Kiana's that ran around on the ground. She would rather commit suicide on the spot than allow this to happen.

"I'm an optimistic, positive, and hopeful girl who is absolutely not going to attack humans! Please rest assured, I will definitely not give birth to any Herrscher consciousness!"

After saying that, Raiden Mei even showed a sunny and cheerful young lady's smile.

It seemed that there was nothing wrong with her mind, which made everyone feel a lot more at ease about Raiden Mei.

'Even if I know about some Herrscher consciousness, I must never say it... right?'

Raiden Mei's back was covered in cold sweat. She absolutely couldn't say the strange thoughts that occasionally popped out of her head that were out of her control.

When she thought about the fate of the Herrscher in Kiana's body, she felt a chill run down her spine.

She didn't even know whether that running head was Kiana or the Herrscher consciousness. They couldn't tell if that head was real.

'This is too terrifying. What kind of enemies did these future people face that they had to come to the modern era to solve the problem?'

Raiden Mei couldn't imagine such a scene. She only felt that the enemy that could make Noldrei feel helpless must be an incredible existence.

Noldrei didn't plan to continue to pursue Raiden Mei's meaning. He was preparing to carry out his next strategy.

He had already ascended the throne and become emperor, but at this time, he had no helpers other than the few people under him.

How could that be?

Noldrei thought that he should carry out his next expansion plan, but before that, he had to get the right to govern Nagazora City from the primitives.

He hadn't come here to do human experiments for the sake of killing people and having fun.

These things had existed in history. Noldrei thought that there must be many primitives doing this kind of thing, but they just weren't doing it openly.

"Next, we have a lot more things to do. I personally suggest that we expose some of the human experiments they're doing. Let these naive primitives know their situation first."

Siegfried and Cocolia were a bit confused when they heard Noldrei's words.

But then Noldrei smiled and said, "Soon the primitives will know the pain of knowing that the powerful people are not doing anything good, but they can't do anything about it."

"This will prove the cruelty of the primitive society of this era. They will soon collapse and become chaotic because of this, and the whole world will further accelerate its development."

"Then, we can divide up this small country in the Far East and officially become the group that rules this country! How is it? Does it make sense?"

Kiana had an indescribable expression on her face. She thought...

What Noldrei said did indeed make sense.
