A small question mark appeared over Einstein's big head.
She froze for a few seconds, her brain quickly trying to judge what these two girls were talking about.
It was normal for them to know about the Moonlight Throne, given Raiden Ryoma's daughter was there.
But.
What did they mean by 'it can't even beat you'? The Moonlight Throne was the ceiling of output power, capable of making the Herrscher of the End lose 30% of her energy!
Don't be so ridiculous with your bragging!
Also, the 'Einstein' they mentioned was definitely her, but she hadn't used the Moonlight Throne to shoot the Herrscher of the Void; this thing was just finished!
Herrscher of Reason? You're not Welt, so how could you be the Herrscher of Reason?
Don't imagine Herrschers as a children's game; those things are terrifying!
They must be bragging, it's definitely all bragging. She didn't expect the Valkyries of the Far East Branch to be such big talkers; they almost bluffed her.
Einstein comforted herself in her heart and shook her head: "It's a good thing for children to have dreams, but the habit of talking nonsense isn't good."
In the surveillance footage, an unconvinced Kiana was whispering with Bronya.
"What Herrscher of Reason? Weren't you captured by the Herrscher of Domination last time?"
"If this Miss hadn't gone to save you, you would have turned into Bronya-sauce!"
Kiana snorted, her expression a bit haughty.
"The Herrscher of Domination... that doesn't count. That was because Bronya was careless and got tied up," Bronya said softly, her delicate brows furrowing.
"In the Dominion Theater, the Herrscher of Domination was the first to steal your Herrscher of Reason core and got powered up. Otherwise, if this Miss had gone, she would have easily dealt with that weakling Herrscher!"
"Heh, idiot Kiana almost had her will destroyed by the Herrscher of the Void. If that happened, maybe the Herrscher of the Void would have allied with the Herrscher of Domination, and the world would have been destroyed."
"No way! I already knew, this Miss is Sirin, and in the end, even the Gem of Haste chose me. My will won't be destroyed."
"Besides, it was indeed hard to accept the reality at first—that K-423 experimental subject stuff, not being the real Kiana—but later I felt it was nothing. This Miss won't be petty. It's just my origin, it's not my everything."
Watching the two of them, the coffee cup in Einstein's hand trembled slightly.
She seemed to have heard something extraordinary; every sentence of their conversation revealed massive amounts of information.
The Herrscher of Domination was the Tenth Herrscher of the Previous Era; how did they know that?
Listening to this, if they weren't talking about game content, it should have immense intelligence value.
First of all, Einstein really didn't know that the girl in front of her was an experimental subject; she had always thought the girl with the pigtails was Siegfried's real daughter.
Sirin, which is the Herrscher of the Void... she didn't expect this unremarkable girl to be the Herrscher of the Void?
Isn't the Gem of Haste in Schicksal's hands? Would that fellow Otto be willing to let the gem leak out?
If she heard correctly, was Cocolia's daughter, Bronya, plotting some shocking scheme to obtain the Herrscher of Reason core? But that thing is currently in... Hearing this, Einstein couldn't sit still and wanted to obtain more clues.
Although she looked cold, she was actually quite meticulous.
Bronya was Cocolia's person and certainly wouldn't tell her the details, so she needed to use her wits!
Einstein controlled a Homu plushie inside the Moonlight Throne. As Kiana and Bronya continued forward, the Homu plushie "accidentally" fell to the ground.
"Eh? Why is there a Homu here? It looks brand new." "This style is the latest Homu model released not long ago, but Bronya already has one."
Kiana curiously picked up the Homu plushie and inspected it thoroughly, finding it was just an ordinary little toy.
"Could it be that Einstein fellow likes Homu?" She looked towards Bronya.
"Probably. No one dislikes Homu."
Watching the two pick up the Homu, Einstein let out a long sigh. Inside the Homu was a newly developed ultra-small eavesdropping device, almost impossible to find with the naked eye. This way, she could monitor the two of them.
However, that was the latest model of Homu, which she had only bought recently; she hadn't expected to leave it on the Moonlight Throne.
Although she didn't know how they knew she was the one who sent the Moonlight Throne, it wasn't a big deal.
As the two moved forward, their words occasionally transmitted through the eavesdropping device to Einstein's ears.
"Bronya, I always feel something is weird. If we ally with Anti-Entropy and Mei joins World Serpent, if that Rita finds out, will she have Otto kill us right now?"
"Mmh~ Kiana, don't overthink it. Principal Theresa is keeping it strictly confidential... As for the Class Monitor, she's already been killed by Otto once, so she probably won't say anything. By the way, do you trust the Class Monitor?"
"Of course. If it weren't for Class Monitor's Herrscher of Sentience core in the end, I probably wouldn't have been able to defeat that Herrscher of Domination."
"But, hey~ That Gem of Haste is still in Schicksal's hands. I wonder if I can still transform into that super cool appearance."
"...Herrscher of Flamescion? Don't overthink it. Your current strength is already strong enough."
The two slowly walked, exploring the interior of the Moonlight Throne.
Listening to all this, Einstein gradually started doubting life, her eyes flickering with confusion.
The Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of the Void—she knew of both; one was Welt, and the other was the culprit of the Second Honkai.
Einstein also knew the Herrscher of Thunder, because as part of Anti-Entropy, Raiden Ryoma's implantation of the dominion gem into his daughter could not be hidden.
Setting aside the Herrscher of Domination, who was the Herrscher of Sentience? And who was the Herrscher of Flamescion?
How come when she woke up, the world was full of Herrschers, as cheap as common cabbage? Was she the only one who wasn't a Herrscher?
When did the Far East Branch and Anti-Entropy form an alliance? And what kind of organization is World Serpent?
Tesla had confidently asserted before leaving that these were all just a bunch of weak Valkyries who knew nothing.
What a joke!
With a thousand thoughts racing through her mind, Einstein listened as the two continued:
"Then don't we have two now? Mei has one, and Sister Yunduo has one... Huh? Does she count?"
"She probably counts, since she can also transform into the Herrscher of Flamescion."
"So now we're just missing one gem of desire and one Gem of Serenity, right? This mission is quite simple; this young lady can complete it with ease."
Damn it!
Einstein coughed.
For others, this was an almost impossible mission, but to these two, it sounded like a beginner quest.
It seemed the Far East Branch was hiding a huge secret. Why hadn't Tesla returned yet?
Before she could figure it out, Bronya, who was hacking into the Moonlight Throne's internal system, suddenly changed expression.
"Valkyrie SYSTEM..."
"Abnormal bio-chip detected. Forcibly taking control of emergency systems. Rebooting."
"Switching to exclusion mode. Excluding all surrounding enemies."
