Amidst Wendy's trembling body, Mei got straight to the point, explaining her and her companions' purpose:
"Wendy, we've been sent by Principal Theresa to pick you up."
"Principal Theresa..."
Hearing this long-lost name, Wendy froze.
She had been communicating with her a while ago.
"Pick me up..."
Wendy was a little confused by this statement. She should be doing pretty well, right?
... Even Wendy herself didn't believe it.
Although they had already defeated all the guards, and logically there was nothing to fear, Mei somehow felt that if she continued to stay here, something terrible might happen.
Driven by this ominous premonition, Mei urged.
"I'll explain the details later. We shouldn't stay here for long."
Wendy naturally had no objection.
Based on the actions of Kiana and the other two, she didn't dare deny it.
Mei also mentioned Principal Theresa, and Wendy, who always had a good relationship with Theresa, was skeptical as she was pushed away by the three.
But wheelchairs were clearly too slow.
To expedite the evacuation, Bronya had Wendy sit in the lap of Project Bunny, abandoning the wheelchair.
The four of them rushed outside.
The sight of unconscious people strewn across the ground made Wendy who sat on Project Bunny pale with fear.
After rushing out of the Oceania branch, at the research facility, Mei used her power of lightning to launch an electromagnetic storm.
Mei had previously launched one to prevent any information leaks when Kiana's carelessness led to their discovery.
This time, Mei was simply playing it safe and giving it another shot.
This electromagnetic storm would essentially destroy all the electronic components in the testing facility, reducing them to scrap metal.
After completely escaping the electromagnetic barrier Mei had previously set up, the communicator began to buzz.
"You..."
Rheresa appeared. She saw Wendy, stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a hint of seriousness, she spoke, "You need to get out of there quickly. Grandpa might have already taken Durandal and sent her over."
Otto had been chatting happily with Theresa, so he didn't take the sudden Anti-Entropy attack seriously, so he simply sent Rita with the Immortal Blades to handle it.
However, Rita was intercepted by Welt, and Rita reported the situation to Otto in real time.
Otto felt a bit embarrassed at hearing the name of his old rival, so naturally he became serious.
Even when Theresa tried to stall for a while, she was dismissed with a few words.
Seeing her grandfather's seriousness, Theresa easily guessed that he was ready to throw Durandal out.
"Tsk, I'm not afraid of that Durandal!"
After her previous showdown at the base, Kiana, who had no qualms about picking off kills, was now quite inflated. She waved her hand nonchalantly as they marched.
This naturally left Theresa, on the other end of the line, speechless.
However, she didn't expect Kiana to be particularly reliable.
For this operation, her hopes were still with Bronya and Mei. They were steady and each possessed partial Herrscher powers, making them a truly reliable force. However, Theresa still didn't believe these two could contend with Durandal.
After all, they only possessed partial Herrscher powers, not actual Herrschers. Along the way, female warriors from the Oceania branch, who had noticed their homes had been robbed during the battle and were returning to defend, began to appear.
Amazing!
Not wanting to continue the unnecessary battle, Mei cast a perception-influencing electromagnetic field.
Bronya also cooperated, activating the Power of Reason, simulating the Black Nucleus erosion technique she'd developed since emerging from the Q\&A space—her optical camouflage device.
The two of them working together had effectively given the Oceania Valkyries ten more years of work.
It's a shame Wendy hasn't become the Herrscher of Wind yet. Otherwise, combined with the Herrscher of Wind's fluid control abilities, they'd be a true thieving team.
Kiana enjoyed this convenience, but watching the two of them so happily toying with the Herrscher's power, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
She wanted to play with the Herrscher's power herself, too.
But forget about the Herrscher of the Void...
Kiana suddenly remembered her alternate form as a Herrscher.
She couldn't help but wonder if the Herrscher power she possessed in that form would be quite awesome.
After a moment of reflection, the three of them quickly arrived at the location Einstein had prepared and boarded the Anti-Entropy warship.
Einstein had been waiting there for a long time.
At the same time, another figure appeared on the warship.
Seeing that familiar figure sitting there, Mei cried out in surprise, even in her perfectly rational state.
"Father... Father?!"
Yes, it was none other than Raiden Ryoma.
Mei was surprised to see Raiden Ryoma appear.
"Why are you here?"
"This move... But if half of Anti-Entropy has been mobilized. As one of its executors and the commander of the Titans, Ryoma naturally can't stay out of it."
Einstein folded her arms across ber chest and added, "Of course, there might also be reason to worry about your safety."
Next to Ryoma was a rugged man with white hair in a ponytail.
Mei didn't know him well.
But Kiana was no stranger.
"Did you miss me, Kiana?"
Facing a face that Kiana knew all too well, Siegfried smiled a somewhat hearty smile.
Of course, Kiana only managed a forced smile and ran away, clenching her fists.
Seeing her irresponsible father again, she could only say...
Hard! Her fist is hard!
