Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

Noldrei went on the move with Kiana.

From the moment he got Bronya, he had already locked onto who was behind everything.

No one in this world could escape his sense of smell.

Noldrei's ability to perceive residual molecules in the air was even better than a dog's.

"Hey, can't we go somewhere else? I feel weird every time we go through the sewers."

Kiana, in her elastic, sludge-like ball form, followed behind Noldrei.

The two strange creatures absorbed various organic and inorganic materials from the sewers, further increasing their bodies' energy supply.

Her energy consumption was even slower than what she gained from digestion.

But still, going through the sewers all the time was a bit much, right?

'You said I was stinky earlier, but aren't the sewers stinky too?'

"What are you thinking? I'm also cleaning up the city's environment while we're at it. Since I have the ability to do it, I naturally want the place I'm in to be a little better."

Noldrei thought Kiana was strange. He was going through the sewers for his own sake.

"I've even thought about how to solve the current nuclear leak problem. Next, I plan to deal with more world corruptions."

'Is he really a good person?'

'But this habit of transforming people at will doesn't seem like it.'

Kiana's head was a bit confused.

Noldrei's words and actions didn't seem like a villain at all. It was just that his taste was a bit too ahead of its time.

The two of them moved through the sewers even faster than cars on the road above.

Noldrei quickly tracked the scent he wanted.

This scent was mixed with Bronya's scent. Both of them had a lot of each other's molecules on them.

"Their relationship must be good. They have a lot of each other's scent on them. It's just that they're hiding in a slightly deep place."

"Here, look at this thing I dug out of that little girl."

Noldrei spat out an electronic chip from his mouth.

Kiana's mood was complicated as she looked at the chip.

What was going on?

Their bodies were filled with either gems or chips. Were there really so many people doing human experiments in this world?

The girl roughly understood why people like Noldrei would be born in the future.

She hadn't expected that the foundation for 130,000 years in the future was already being laid in the present.

She had to admire the imagination and action of modern people.

Kiana was starting to believe in the future that Noldrei talked about.

These humans, they were clearly good at causing trouble.

"This is where they produce Honkai energy. I also absorbed a lot of energy from here, thinking that we could come and take a look together when you got back. Now it seems that this place was built by the people behind Raiden Mei."

As he spoke, he began to transform.

Kiana thought that Noldrei's sludge transformation was already the extreme of change, but she had underestimated this future person.

He actually just vaporized and disappeared on the spot.

'Crap! Take me with you!'

Kiana was so angry that she started bouncing on the spot, like a big rubber ball.

If he wasn't going to let her follow, then why did he even bring her here?

......

Cocolia didn't manage to escape.

She realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat, but she didn't expect the other side to act even faster.

The current Cocolia was no longer Cocolia.

By the time Noldrei pulled Kiana in, Cocolia had already turned into a little pony.

She nervously stamped her hooves, trying to break free from this genetic, physical transformation.

Unfortunately, she would never be able to do that.

Kiana had underestimated him. How many My Little Pony cartoons had this guy watched?

Before she could even think about Noldrei's preferences, she heard some shocking news from his words.

"Don't move around. The emperor of our time used this method to rule for thirteen thousand years. All of humanity's genetic backups are in his body. You're just a primitive woman, why bother with this pointless struggle?"

His words made Kiana feel cold inside.

'Future humans actually controlled human chromosomes and genes to solidify their rule?'

'What did you future people do? Why are you so against your own kind?'

Kiana was speechless. Looking at Noldrei, it seemed like he didn't care about what that era was like at all.

She wondered how humans in the future had even managed to rebel.

Cocolia, although she didn't understand, was deeply shocked.

Since she couldn't run away, why not just see what the other side wanted to do?

"Wait, what do you mean by thirteen thousand years?"

Kiana suddenly heard something she couldn't ignore.

"It's just that the emperor ruled for thirteen thousand years. It wasn't until the genetic locks he left behind were completely broken that humanity truly evolved to my stage."

Noldrei didn't think it was a big deal. He thought he should have a chance to live with this new fellow being until 130,000 years in the future.

Kiana thought for a long time, and finally gave up on thinking.

She then asked, "What do you plan to do with her now that you've caught her?"

Noldrei looked at Cocolia, who had turned into a pony, and said, "This pony is called Applejack, representing - Honesty. I want to keep her here and wait for the people behind her to come and investigate the situation in Nagazora City. That way, we can wait for their people to come to our door."

As he spoke, he leaned over to sniff 'Applejack's' scent and explained, "This person also has other people's scents on her, and some other mixed smells. Don't worry, there's definitely more than one or two people in her organization."

Kiana thought he was overthinking things. How could such a stupid organization come to this city one by one and jump into a trap?

But Noldrei wasn't worried. He had already decided to build his new empire here.

As a future person, his main responsibility was to guide humanity to a new path.

"Kiana, after we go back, we'll prepare for the coronation."

Noldrei said to his fellow being with satisfaction, "I'll make you the crown princess, the heir to the empire!"

Kiana couldn't help but complain, "You can live for tens of thousands of years, do you want me to be the crown princess for tens of thousands of years?! Even if it's ridiculous, there's no country that's that ridiculous, right?"

She still thought that Noldrei was joking about being an emperor.

But he waited for a long time and didn't see him teasing her.

This made the atmosphere a bit cold.

She forced a smile and asked, "You... you're not serious, are you?"

Noldrei looked at her happily and said, "Of course I'm serious. As my only fellow being in this world, I won't mind that you're still using a primitive human brain. I'll find a teacher to tutor you later. We can both live for so long, you'll definitely be able to learn all this old knowledge."

Kiana's whole body stiffened as she listened.

'He really plans to make me study for tens of thousands of years?!'

Noldrei patted 'Applejack's' pony butt and said to Kiana, "Let's go home first, we'll discuss the rest later."
