Anti-Entropy, an organization dedicated to combating Honkai, was formerly the North American branch of Schicksal.
The birth of this organization is largely due to Otto.
At one point in the past, he believed that Schicksal was too powerful and needed a suitable opponent to maintain a certain level of pressure. Therefore, he chose to dump all researchers who criticized Schicksal's actions into the North American branch.
Soon, as Otto had predicted, the North American branch declared its independence from Schicksal and became the current Anti-Entropy.
Initially, Otto hadn't taken this organization seriously; after all, he was a self-confident and conceited person.
In the eyes of this five-hundred-year-old Archbishop, the nascent Anti-Entropy seemed too immature, so naive that it could be easily destroyed.
But now...
Otto had to admit that this toy he had created in his spare time seemed to be completely out of his control, posing a threat to his plans.
He absolutely could not accept this situation.
Next, Anti-Entropy would bear the brunt of Schicksal's relentless attack, which would inevitably have a significant impact on Anti-Entropy, already far inferior to Schicksal.
However, St. Freya and their companions, far away in the Far East, would not know of these events.
After a few peaceful days, following the time indicated by the previous Q&A space,
St. Freya's group gathered in Theresa's office again one afternoon.
Waiting for the clock to stop, the Q&A space arrived again after nearly ten days.
The others also disappeared from Theresa's office.
They looked around.
Besides the St. Freya Academy group, there was Anti-Entropy's Tesla and Dr. Einstein.
However, this time, besides the two of them, there was another figure nearby.
"Mr. Welt, you're in too," Bronya said with a hint of surprise.
"Hmm."
Welt nodded, glancing around the space from the corner of his eye.
Although Ein had previously told him about this space, he still felt a bit surprised to be here.
And so, Yang, the champion of resurrection matches who had just arrived at the quiz space, cosplayed as Liu Laolao.
Welt's entrance was the least of Bronya's surprises; she was more disappointed not to see Wendy.
Mei noticed that Bronya was concerned about Wendy, and since she had something else to ask, she asked, "How's Wendy?"
A hint of concern flashed in Bronya's eyes. Although she hadn't seen Wendy, it was still helpful to get a glimpse of her current situation.
"Not bad, isn't it? The Gem of Desire is very stable."
Einstein said with a touch of emotion, "As expected of the future Herrscher of Wind. According to the instruments, Wendy's compatibility with the Gem of Desire is quite high."
Although the Gem of Desire wasn't a Herrscher Core, its danger level was no less than the Core of Reason that Bronya had touched in the previous video.
Something like this, simply reaching out to touch, would infect you with a flood of Honkai energy.
And Wendy's ability to contain the Gem of Desire within her body, while perhaps due to the Gem of Desire's relatively stable state, also demonstrates the high degree of compatibility between Wendy and the Gem of Desire.
If there were a standard for becoming a Herrscher... as for the other Herrschers, Einstein couldn't say anything about them, but as far as the Herrscher of Wind was concerned, Wendy was definitely the best candidate.
Mei wasn't particularly concerned about this and asked directly, "Can she become a Herrscher?"
"Not yet."
Einstein shook her head slightly and said sternly, "The Gem of Desire is too stable, which makes it difficult for Wendy to draw out its power."
"Experiencing a major Eruption or being infused with a large amount of Honkai energy should both help her draw out the power of the Gem of Desire."
The former was the method Cocolia devised to awaken Mei as the Third Herrscher, while the latter involved the Second Herrscher, Sirin.
Both methods were proven feasible.
Of course, to them, this was essentially nonsense.
Neither St. Freya Academy nor Anti-Entropy had any idea of doing it. There are two possible options for helping Wendy become the Herrscher of Wind.
The first option involves injecting a massive amount of Honkai energy into the human body, but who knows when it might happen.
The second option involves injecting a massive amount of Honkai energy into the human body. This has only two possible outcomes: Wendy's death, or her transformation into a Herrscher and then Sirin II.
After experiencing that kind of torture, Wendy might cry out in pain upon becoming a Herrscher.
Mei frowned.
Although they hadn't known each other long, she didn't remember Einstein as the type to bring up meaningless things.
"You should have other reasonable options, right?"
Einstein said helplessly, "You overestimate me. It's only been a few days..."
Although she was considered a genius,
But Wendy... it's been barely over a week since Anti-Entropy entered the question-Q&A Space.
Adding to the numerous experiments and other matters she still has to deal with, asking her to come up with a plan for Wendy's Herrscher transformation is like, "You might as well just kill me."
Even Edison who was known for her diligence didn't push her this hard.
"But it's not entirely impossible. Judging from the research data you gave me on the Herrscher's stigmata in the Wind Scroll."
Einstein folded her arms and said calmly, "If the stigmata are branded, it should be quite helpful in helping Wendy channel the power of the Gem of Desire... of course, this is just a guess. I'll have to spend some more time researching it later."
Tesla couldn't help but say, speechless, "How did you two turn a casual conversation into such a mess? Just like a work summary?"
"Huh? Really?" Mei and Einstein said in unison.
"Nonsense!"
Tesla rolled her eyes rudely. "You two, get over it!"
"It's fine for any other time, but in a place like this, you're still talking about work. It's driving me crazy!"
Mei and Einstein exchanged amusement.
This harmonious situation was met with a look of amusement from the audience as Kiana, embracing Bronya and biting her, was naturally chased and beaten by Bronya.
In the remaining time, the first question of this quiz quietly appeared on the unchanging answer screen:
[1. During the Arc City Incident, the wandering Kiana saved Arc City and thwarted the conspiracy of the mastermind. Which of the following options was the core of this incident?]
[A. Malice from Otto Apocalypse]
[B. The lingering ghost of Cocolia]
[C. The World Serpent's Plan]
[D. Dr. Tesla's obsession with technology]
