Chapter 288: Conceptual God! Kiana Losing Her External Brain!
Everyone in the livestream thought about it and realized it was exactly as Senti said: Fu Hua was essentially asking Kiana to coax a bratty child.
You have to make the brat understand they were wrong, but also make sure they don't lose trust in you... Fu Hua, don't you understand this perfectly? Then why have you been picking on Senti from the very beginning? I didn't see you giving a stick and then a carrot; it was all sticks!
Fu Hua couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. She also felt that her in-game self was being a bit demanding.
To be honest, there were countless ways to enlighten Senti, but our Celestial Fu Hua chose the playstyle that generated the most bullet chat comments.
If people didn't know she was a complete "straight girl" with zero parenting skills, they would have thought Fu Hua was doing it just for the show.
But you have to admit, whether intentional or not, the entertainment value was maxed out.
"Class Monitor really isn't afraid of classmate Senti exploding on the spot," Kiana grumbled.
"What if I didn't control my strength well and made Senti admit she's a Herrscher? She might just give up, break the pot, and start destroying everything. What then?"
Senti nodded repeatedly.
"Exactly! Old Timer, you jerk, why can't you say a single nice word? You really need to go back and study the art of language!"
The viewers in the livestream were also getting anxious.
How is it that Fu Hua isn't working out, and Kiana and Bronya are also dropping the ball? Kiana might have just "lost her wife," so that's understandable, but didn't you, Bronya, just return from an urban harem protagonist plotline? Is this a "scripted loss"?
[Don't be a hater; it's just the Bronya's daily crash-and-burn.]
[LOL, why has Bronya been failing miserably ever since she got the Herrscher of Reason core?]
[The evaluation is that she simply inherited Welt's legacy. Old Yang was also the king of failing, right? Though his "invincibility" stat is definitely maxed out.]
[Say no more. Why can't we switch to someone else to do the coaxing? Where's Seele? Seele, save us!]
[True, I feel like if Seele were here, she would have Senti eating out of her hand by now.]
[If all else fails, the Erguotou girls (Vodka Girls) would do. They might not coax her well, but the atmosphere would be a hundred times better than this!]
[Vodka Girls? Do you want to see three idiots fighting on Mount Taixuan?]
[Fu Hua: I woke up and Mount Taixuan is gone. The sky has fallen!!]
Everyone happily began the daily "bully Bronya" routine. There was no helping it—who told Bronya to be the ultimate failing queen? In Honkai Impact 3rd, her failure rate is easily top three. As for who the number one failure king is... that's obviously our invincible Master Otto. Do you understand the weight of "parents still alive"?
"Sigh, I'm starting to miss Seele now. If Seele were here, things wouldn't be this bad."
Elysia sighed helplessly, clearly disappointed in the communication skills of these three.
"Or if it really doesn't work, let 'Miss Ellie' talk to Senti, heehee~♪"
Su Mu thought about it and realized it was true. After all, even the most stubborn mouth in the entire Elysian Realm couldn't make Elysia give up her persistence. Senti, a newborn baby, would definitely have no way to refuse her.
She'd go up for a close-range cuddle, unleash the classic Elysia combo, and the leader of the Elysian Realm's "girls' love" club would immediately start playing with the pure newborn baby in the palm of her hand.
Truly a bad woman! Too bad! She must be severely criticized!
"True, I also think this situation is perfect for Seele's talents..."
Kiana scratched her head. "To be honest, I'm not the type of person who's good at coaxing kids..."
[That's true. After all, when this idiot Kiana first met the awakened Herrscher of Thunder, her solution was to just grab a baseball bat and go at it...]
[But somehow she beat the Herrscher of Thunder into submission. Isn't that hilarious?]
[LOL, HoT was beaten into submission by Kiana's 'big stick,' huh?]
[What kind of wild words are these? This isn't the bus to the kindergarten; I want to get off!!]
[Different personalities, I'd say. The Herrscher of Thunder clearly needed her strength recognized first, but Senti is different. She's just a baby who desperately lacks a sense of identity. As long as you give her recognition, she'll totally take your side!]
Everyone in the livestream was analyzing.
And in the game, Bronya once again met her downfall.
In Senti's constructed environment, the half-baked Herrscher of Reason failed without suspense, proving once again the weight of her "Ultimate Failure Queen" title.
But before Bronya fell asleep, her consciousness was captured by Senti, allowing Senti to guess most of the truth.
["Old Timer..."]
She called out to that "Fenghuang Down."
["Don't call me that."]
Fu Hua's figure appeared before her, her expression looking quite helpless.
["Sigh... You're here. I thought you took the chance to run away."]
Seeing Fu Hua appear, a smile broke out on Senti's face. It seemed she had worried for nothing.
How could the Old Timer lie to her?
[My God, Senti is really too naive... She actually trusts the Old Timer... no, Fu Hua, that much?]
[LOL, this is a case of 'beware of your elder sister's scam.']
[Not mother? Not mother? They're more like mother and daughter, right? Since Senti was born inside Fu Hua's body, isn't that like mother and daughter?]
[It sounds like that, but in reality, it's completely different! Don't confuse 'ten months of pregnancy' with 'remote account login'!]
[LOL, but true. I bet Senti never expected the Old Timer would pull a scam!]
[It probably also has to do with Senti's absolute confidence in her own strength. When you're powerful to a certain extent, you feel like schemes and plots don't matter much.]
As the in-game Senti dispelled the illusion, she reappeared before Kiana.
["Thank you, Kiana. I know you trust me."]
Kiana looked at the sleeping Bronya beside her, who had fallen into a deep slumber under Senti's power.
["She was too arrogant. Is the power of the First Herrscher that easy to control? Look at what happened to those men. Let her rest; tell her not to force it."]
["Anyway, you're enough."]
After saying this, Senti stood with Fu Hua and asked Kiana to choose the "real" Fu Hua.
Kiana kept thinking of a strategy. The real Class Monitor was currently controlled by the Herrscher, so the help she could provide was limited.
Facing Senti, who occupied the Class Monitor's body, Kiana remembered what Fu Hua had told her: to save the Class Monitor, she had to make Senti waver.
["Use your intuition to judge. What do you think? Is it this Fu Hua, who is stronger, more decisive, and more rational, or that Old Timer?"]
Out of curiosity, Kiana controlled her in-game self and chose Senti.
Seeing that Kiana actually chose her, Senti looked very happy.
But immediately, Kiana said it wasn't fair at all because she knew nothing about Senti.
["You showed me much of the Class Monitor's past, yet you say you've been completely renewed. I still don't understand you at all. All I know is that you set a trap on this Mount Taixuan and made fools of Bronya and me. Under these circumstances, how can I give a fair judgment?"]
Kiana's words left Senti dumbfounded, looking at Fu Hua one moment and Kiana the next.
["Wow... You're right. I thought you'd choose her, since people can't help being biased by first impressions, but... wow. It's my fault, Kiana. I should have introduced myself first. At least I should let you know the difference between me and that Old Timer."]
This plot point made everyone in the livestream burst out laughing.
[LOL, how is Senti being led by the nose by Kiana?]
[Heavens, brothers, am I actually seeing Kiana's IQ occupy the high ground?]
[Wait, Senti actually believed it? What kind of Herrscher of Sentience are you? You're the Herrscher of Dementia (Sentience/Dementia pun), aren't you?]
[My evaluation is—'The More Rational Fu Hua.']
[With Senti's arrival, even Kiana has shed the title of 'idiot.' It's truly moving...]
Looking at everyone in the livestream, both Kiana and Senti turned red in the face.
After all, they were the ones being bullied!
"Who said this lady is an idiot! I'm not an idiot! I just don't like using my brain; there's a fundamental difference!!"
"I... I was just being reasonable! Being considerate, do you understand? What do you mean 'idiot'? You guys are being too mean!"
Seeing the two of them with flushed faces frantically explaining to the bullet chat, Su Mu couldn't help but chuckle.
His laughter quickly drew hateful glares from Kiana and Senti.
"Su Mu, it's all your fault! X2"
If looks could kill, Su Mu would have died a hundred times by now. Unfortunately, there are no "ifs," so Su Mu just stood there happily watching the two of them.
This was just too much fun!
"Ahem, actually, student Kiana is very smart."
Fu Hua coughed a few times, defending Kiana.
"When student Kiana left her father and wandered alone, she lived very well. This point alone is enough to show that student Kiana is very smart."
"Furthermore, in Arc City, student Kiana was very calm and composed, showing both courage and wisdom..."
Fu Hua's words moved Kiana deeply. "Class Monitor..."
Senti looked at Fu Hua with a very thirsty gaze, also hoping to receive Fu Hua's recognition.
However, Fu Hua looked away and said nothing more.
"Old Timer, say something! You reviewed Kiana, why won't you review me!!"
Senti was immediately displeased, her cheeks puffed out in protest.
"Because I feel there's nothing worth reviewing..."
Fu Hua's words made Senti jump instantly.
"W-What do you mean! Old Timer, you just think I'm a total idiot, don't you!"
Looking at the piteous Senti, Fu Hua coughed. "Maybe you're not entirely useless. At least you have quite a bit of self-awareness, my dear sister."
"Old Timer—!!!"
Seeing Senti wailing in the livestream, the viewers were laughing so hard they couldn't close their mouths. These sisters are just too fun!
[LOL, how does the real-life Fu Hua seem to have a sense of humor?]
[Is it possible that it's not a sense of humor, but that she's just telling the truth?]
[Senti: I report, the Old Timer is slandering me! Police Officer: How did she slander you? Senti: She listed everything I did one by one!]
[Hahahaha, looking at Senti's puffed-out cheeks, why am I thinking of a certain pufferfish?]
At this moment, in the seat of Class 2-1 at St. Freya High School, a certain "pufferfish" (Kiana) was getting worked up.
"Why am I being dragged into this? I haven't even appeared in this chapter of the main story, have I? Huh??"
As the in-game story continued, to make it easier for Kiana to judge, Senti used her power to create an illusion.
She recreated the appearance of Schicksal HQ at the time, wanting to show Kiana the difference between herself and the Old Timer.
["Look, the past me was misled by Otto and committed many evil deeds for him. The reason was nothing more than a life-saving favor and support for 'Project Ember'."]
["But on second thought: Is Project Ember really that important? Not necessarily. Letting humanity grow freely might not result in something terrible."]
["When you encounter difficulties, you overcome them. Isn't that how humans grow? The essence of Project Ember, I see it as just Dr. MEI's arrogance."]
["As for the life-saving favor, hmph... even if he hadn't stepped in, does he think I couldn't have handled it?"]
Fu Hua was also in the illusion, silently watching everything. Senti told her to speak her mind and add anything that felt wrong, since Kiana was also here.
Fu Hua wanted Senti to stop talking about the past, but Senti countered that Fu Hua was someone who lived in the past, doing whatever others told her to do.
Giving up thinking also means escaping responsibility.
But Senti was different; she wouldn't run away anymore.
Then she complained about Rita: with technology so advanced, she was still personally doing laundry and cooking. Senti then defeated Rita in the illusion.
Immediately after, Kiana posed a question to Senti.
At that time, her body was occupied by the consciousness of the Second Herrscher and had become the world's greatest threat.
If it were Senti, what would she have done?
["If it were me... I probably would have killed you without mercy."]
["Don't blame me, Kiana. Your awakening was a miracle born of coincidence. If it happened again, you might not be able to defeat the Herrscher's consciousness."]
["We have paid the price for being soft-hearted toward Herrschers; we can't afford it again."]
Facing Senti's answer, Kiana questioned.
["Do you not believe humans can control the power of Herrschers? If someone becomes a Herrscher, must they be eliminated?"]
This single sentence silenced Senti. She didn't know how to answer the question.
Because no matter how she answered, she would contradict herself.
This segment of the plot made Siegfried, who was watching the livestream in North Europe, couldn't help but complain.
"Kiana actually has this much IQ? This, this, this shouldn't be possible, right? It's a bit detached from reality, hey!"
Kiana, having lost her external brain, is terrifying!!
