Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Bronya received another complaint from her underling.

This time it wasn't just Kiana's underlings causing trouble, she had actually disregarded all pretense and personally taken action.

That woman was truly wicked.

"What did you say? You didn't see the perpetrator of the attack?"

"You only saw a little white-haired dumpling? Fast punches? No discernible attack pattern? And she used telekinesis to scoop people up and run away?"

"And before leaving, she even mocked you as a useless piece of iron?"

Bronya pondered for a moment, then asked the person on the phone, "Why didn't you turn on your tactical flashlight?"

"What?! I was too scared by the scene at the time, so I didn't dare to turn it on beforehand? What do you mean you can't stand such bloody scenes? What exactly did you see?"

Bronya was truly worried about the level of her subordinates. It seemed her subordinates were the weakest of the lot.

Was this a Japanese characteristic?

Were the security personnel who did the legwork the lowest tier of the organization?

'Impossible, I've even taken out death insurance for my subordinates. Even if they really get beaten to death, they should die without regrets, right?'

Bronya was feeling dejected when news of her subordinate's trouble was reported on her phone.

While Hikigaya Hachiman was cleaning up the mess in the dark alley, preparing to contact Yukinoshita Yukino's school, a white-haired dumpling loli suddenly jumped down from the sky.

This person's fists were formidable. She rushed up and knocked Yukinoshita Yukino unconscious with two quick blows.

Saying incomprehensible things like "good material to be a Valkyrie," "I have high hopes for you," and "come with me to St. Freya Academy," she took the knocked-out Yukinoshita Yukino and took off like a rocket.

Given that he couldn't catch up and couldn't beat her at all, Hikigaya Hachiman decisively admitted defeat, pretended he hadn't seen anything, and hid, then truthfully reported everything to his leader.

What if the other party was someone who didn't care about human life? At worst, the leader would just fire him, but the other party might really take his life! Hikigaya Hachiman clearly weighed the difference.

This demonstrated the survival wisdom of never being a clueless cannon fodder soldier like in TV dramas.

The cannon fodder soldiers in film and television saw that the enemy was strong but still thought their status would protect them.

This was the stupidest behavior in the world, and Hikigaya Hachiman would definitely not make such a mistake.

Recently, his favorite film to watch was a Shenzhou film called "Infernal Affairs." He hoped he could survive to the end. So he watched it repeatedly several times, just to study people's acting skills and techniques.

When Bronya pulled up the surveillance footage, oh? Wasn't that Theresa? That nun's habit, that small figure and appearance, it was obviously Theresa, that noble daughter of Schicksal.

Bronya was speechless. Academy City was full of people she couldn't afford to offend.

Theresa could make Rita refuse to let her use "Gungnir" with just a word. This kind of frustration was hard to explain.

Bronya simply instructed Hikigaya Hachiman to continue waiting there for the ambulance to take the unlucky guys away, and didn't give him any further burden. The 'enemy's' background was too big, it was really caught her off guard.

Little Bronya sighed repeatedly, lamenting that the demolition crew of Academy City was right in the front rows.

"Aaaaaaaah! It's too strange, why won't it work?"

"Why can't I change back! Is there something wrong with the gene structure I set? But I've followed the closest one, and even solved the rejection reaction."

Bronya heard surprising noises of commotion from Tesla's room.

In the past, Tesla rarely made such loud noises. This voice didn't quite sound like Dr. Tesla.

Bronya tidied up her computer, casually reported a cheater in a game, and then went out to check the situation.

Seriously, the gaming environment in Japan was getting worse and worse. This forcibly restrained her from installing external tentacles on herself to play games, as Noldrei had suggested.

As a result, Bronya was dumbfounded as soon as she opened her door. She stared blankly at the monster in front of her, revealing a very shocked and astonished expression.

The monster had a black goat head, propping up its chin with its hooves as it paced back and forth. Even the sound of its footsteps was the da-da sound of goat hooves stepping on the wooden floor.

"It's strange, why can't I change back?"

It was Dr. Tesla's voice. It seemed she had done something incredible to herself.

'Are you scientists this hardcore? Using your own body for experiments?'

Bronya was deeply shocked, wondering if she should still classify Dr. Tesla as a normal human being.

"Oh? Bronya, ah, really, you ended up seeing this ugly appearance… Forget it, I'll just use the ability Noldrei gave me to change back."

She pressed the small fleshy bump behind her neck and immediately transformed back into that familiar Teletubby Po. Then she pressed it again, and this time she finally transformed back into Dr. Tesla normally.

"You, how did you turn into a black goat?? Other animals wouldn't work?"

Bronya's words pulled Tesla back from her research desire. She looked up at Bronya blankly and said, "Our lab only has mice and goats. I can't turn myself into a mouse, can I? Besides that, there are only some Honkai beasts. I don't want to turn into a Honkai beast."

"No, you… how did you do this?"

Bronya's mind was blank. She never thought Tesla could actually change her form.

Tesla didn't seem surprised by Bronya's shock. She explained, "I've researched the Herrscher of the Void, and also Benares. The Second Herrscher, Sirin, directly created Benares, but her ability at that time didn't include creating life. And she only got the Herrscher gem after entering the moon."

"In other words, Honkai energy itself has the ability to influence genetic information. At least, it can directly intervene in Honkai factors. The question is, I am now a Herrscher. Do you think Honkai can intervene in the Honkai factors in my body?"

Dr. Tesla's question left Bronya speechless.

Bronya thought, weren't Herrschers all Honkai's lackeys? Why would Honkai consider the lackey's thoughts?

Seeing that Little Bronya was so clueless, Tesla said anxiously, "Bronya! If Honkai really has a conscious mind behind it that can think, an existence that opposes humans like humans oppose it."

"Then is it actually a human with super powerful abilities, resembling God?! Since Herrschers want to destroy humans, does this human include this God-like existence?!"

"Before I became a Herrscher, I was bullied by humans like a dog, like livestock. Then after I became a Herrscher, am I not being bullied by the Will of Honkai like a dog, like livestock?"

"Then wouldn't I have become a Herrscher for nothing!"

Dr. Tesla's question was loud and clear, said with a matter-of-fact and forceful tone.

Bronya was suddenly stunned by this question.

What was going on? Even the Will of Honkai was being counted as human?
