CHAPTER 201: FIRST HERRSCHER, HERRSCHER OF REASON? WELT?

Chapter 201: First Herrscher, Herrscher of Reason? Welt?

As they spoke, their expressions remained unchanged. And behind Ren, Cocolia pulled the trigger of the gun in her hand.

"Zzzzzip!" A bullet, like an electric flash, shot towards Ren’s abdomen, a non-fatal spot.

Einstein and Tesla seemed to have anticipated it, showing no surprise. They simply exchanged glances and knew about Cocolia’s action, but pretended to be unaware to attract Ren’s attention.

"As expected of those who can become Anti-Entropy Executors, none of them are ordinary people." Ren sighed, acting without hesitation. Such people were more real. Especially these people from Anti-Entropy, they couldn’t be defined simply by good or evil. Facing Ren, the invader, Tesla and Einstein would not show mercy.

"This is good too. I can act without restraint, though it might be a bit unfair to Old Yang."

Bang! The bullet Cocolia fired stopped a few meters from Ren, and faint ripples seemed to spread in the air.

"!" Cocolia immediately prepared to continue firing, but found her finger unable to press the trigger.

Cocolia and Tesla, one pointed her gun at her own forehead, and the other aimed her mechanical left arm at Einstein.

"Einstein! This isn’t my doing, I can’t control my arm!" Tesla yelled in panic. She tried to correct her arm, but couldn’t budge it an inch.

"What did you do? Why can’t I control my body?" Cocolia panicked once again. The man in front of her was too bizarre!

Ren said indifferently, "I hate it when people point guns at me."

As his words fell, red lights flashed in the eyes of all the mechs, and then their muzzles pointed at the three of them!

This series of sudden reversals left the three of them in a state of confusion. Einstein also realized that she couldn’t move her body except for her head. She looked up, her gaze serious. "You control our bodies, and you also control our mechs, Herrscher of Dominance?"

"Oh? You even know about the Herrscher of Dominance?" Ren was surprised by Einstein’s information. "But unfortunately, I am not."

"Speaking of herrschers, Cocolia, did you make a replica of the First Herrscher? Is that the thing?" Ren pointed his finger at the door, where a person in a black robe slowly walked in, his voice arrogant. "Haha, Cocolia, why are you so slow?"

"Facing a small invader, it takes you so long, how embarrassing." He clearly didn’t understand the current situation. "It seems I, the First Herrscher, will have to kill him." The black-robed man raised his hand, and an invisible heavy blow was generated, pressing towards Ren.

Feeling its power, Ren was speechless—too weak, barely lv4 level trash. "A replica of the First Herrscher of Reason, Walter Joyce, but it’s trash."

Why call him trash? Because he simply didn’t have the power of the Herrscher of Reason. The ability he used was merely that of the Star of Eden. The Herrscher of Reason’s ability should be understanding and reproduction. After fully understanding the "explanation" of a thing, one can reproduce that thing again with one’s own power. Walter Yang, as the Second Herrscher of Reason, also possessed this ability. However, using the herrscher’s authority is harmful to the body. So Walter Yang rarely used his authority. The ability to manipulate gravity with the Star of Eden in his hand was what he commonly used. As for this replica of the First Herrscher of Reason, Walter Joyce, he truly had none of the Herrscher of Reason’s authority.

Ren uninterestingly swung his right arm.

"Ugh!" A force far exceeding the gravity he generated splattered him into a meat paste. He didn’t even get a decent last word, and was gone before he could react.

Cocolia’s eyelids twitched. Although this thing was a failed product, was it really okay for it to be so easily wiped out with a simple wave of a hand?

"Joyce’s replica?" On Einstein’s usually placid face, anger appeared for the first time in a long while, her fury aimed squarely at Cocolia. "Did you also conduct this kind of human cloning experiment? And using Joyce’s genes?" She angrily questioned Cocolia.

Cocolia scorned her anger. "So what?"

"You..." Einstein prepared to continue condemning and criticizing Cocolia’s actions. Ren had no desire to listen to them argue. A cold glint flashed in his golden star-like eyes. "Shut up."

"Yes... Master..." Cocolia and Einstein lowered their heads simultaneously. The way they addressed him made Tesla dumbfounded. "Ma... Master?"

Let alone her. Even Cocolia and Einstein themselves trembled in their hearts. They realized that they were now completely unable to resist Ren’s commands in the slightest! Even with their own thoughts, they couldn’t muster any rebellious feelings towards Ren. At this moment, the few of them finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Now, they had become loyal subordinates with consciousness!

Ren thought for a moment, then said coldly, "From now on, Anti-Entropy is mine."

"Whether you are the reformist faction or the conservative faction, you must serve me unconditionally." Due to the conflicting opinions and fragile cooperation among the Anti-Entropy executives, Anti-Entropy gradually formed two factions: the conservative faction represented by Einstein and Tesla, and the reformist faction led by Cocolia. The conservative faction mostly consisted of veterans who had joined the organization since Anti-Entropy’s early days. They agreed with Welt’s philosophy, showed him full trust, and willingly contributed their strength. Einstein and Tesla, who had spent the longest time with Welt, were the representatives of the conservative faction. They advocated "eliminating Honkai without harming humanity itself." The reformist faction, led by Cocolia, believed that Welt’s philosophy was too outdated and detrimental to Anti-Entropy’s development.

But now, both the reformist and conservative factions would obey Ren’s instructions.

"Yes!" The three responded simultaneously, without even a hint of hesitation.

In reality, a stormy sea had already churned in the hearts of the three. They were truly completely controlled!

"For now, that’s all. You continue to work hard for the cause of fighting Honkai. If anything comes up, you can contact me through Kiana."

"As for who Kiana is, I’ve already transmitted the information into your brains." After he finished speaking, information about Kiana’s appearance appeared in the minds of the three.

"!!!" This shocked them even more. Casually inserting perfectly natural, non-discomfort information into someone else’s brain. As scientists, they immediately realized that this meant he could arbitrarily tamper with people’s perceptions and memories.
