At this moment, what appeared in front of Mo Wang was undoubtedly the designated workhorse in Honkai Impact 3rd, the Emperor-class Honkai Beast that was read as such, but was actually already being served on the dinner table by the Valkyries like an ingredient—Ganesha.
Although its status in the game was not as high as some of the mutated Honkai Emperors, it was still a high-level Honkai Beast.
According to the lore, it shouldn't appear unless a large-scale Honkai Eruption occurred.
"What's going on? How did this thing fall from the sky? It looks like it's already fainted?"
Mo Wang had heard of aliens falling from the sky, girls falling from the sky, and even monsters falling from the sky.
But he had never heard of a workhorse pig falling from the sky.
Feeling the gradually increasing Honkai energy concentration around him, and the dark clouds gradually gathering in the sky, a bad feeling rose in his mind.
"No way, bro! I've already changed the plot so much. Which idiot changed it back?"
Mo Wang had a headache.
He didn't even need to think to know that Wendy must have been stimulated by something and started to be invaded by the Honkai.
So he had worked himself to the bone, and the plot had just gone back to the way it was before.
This was just frustrating.
"Sigh, what a pain."
Mo Wang rubbed his head, feeling extremely annoyed.
Looking at the current Honkai energy concentration and the situation in the sky, the Fourth Honkai Eruption would probably start in no more than an hour.
No matter how much he wanted to slack off, he had to act now.
"When I get back, I'm going to find out which bastard is messing with me. Damn it, how dare you slap me in the face!"
...
Meanwhile, at the Oceania Branch—
"What's going on?! The Honkai energy concentration is constantly rising! This is a Herrscher-level reaction!"
Faced with the sudden situation, the Oceania Branch was in complete chaos.
"Deploy the base's defense measures immediately!"
Ana, one of the few people in the branch who remained calm, shouted to the people around her.
"We can't! The base's defense measures have been completely paralyzed by the strong winds! This situation is like... someone sabotaged it from the inside!"
"From the inside? Could it be..."
Ana immediately thought of Wendy, who was in the branch.
For some reason, Ana was suddenly reminded of the scene she had encountered in that major Honkai Eruption.
"No matter what! Evacuate the local civilians first! All Valkyries, leave this place immediately!"
Ana endured her discomfort and dispelled the bad memories in her mind.
Then she immediately rushed out of the branch with the other members of the Snow Lotus Squad.
And when Ana stepped out of the base, the strong winds made it almost impossible for the Valkyries to open their eyes.
"Captain! The wind is too strong! We can't get through. What should we do?"
A member of the Snow Lotus Squad said to Ana, who was walking in front of them, with difficulty.
In the strong wind, a large number of Honkai Beasts were slowly walking.
Looking at the scene that was like a natural disaster, the sealed memories began to surface in her mind again.
The cruel disaster, the Honkai Beasts and Death Troopers spreading through the city, and the crying victims in the ruins.
Everything was so similar to that day.
"Captain? Captain!"
The voice of a member of the Snow Lotus Squad brought Ana's consciousness back to the present.
She realized that she was not on the battlefield in Asia, but at the Oceania Branch.
"I'm fine! Everyone, prepare for battle! Do your best to save everyone!"
Ana held her spear, her long flaxen hair blowing in the wind.
As an elite combat squad, although the Snow Lotus Squad could not compare to the most elite Immortal Blades, each of its members was very powerful.
At the very least, they had the combat power of a B-rank Valkyrie.
With the help of their Valkyrie armor, almost everyone could have the combat power of an A-rank Valkyrie.
Ana pierced a huge Chariot-class Honkai Beast with her spear in an instant.
And after finishing off this enemy, she immediately faced more Honkai Beasts.
Ana was constantly thrusting in the strong wind, squeezing every last bit of strength from her body.
"It's not enough! I have to save more people..."
Every time Ana swung her weapon, she couldn't help but remember herself from two years ago.
How helpless and afraid she had been back then.
She couldn't even reach out to help those in need.
She was constantly regretting why she hadn't saved those people back then.
And now, when she encountered a similar situation again, the current Ana had become a Valkyrie who would rather give up her own life than abandon anyone.
"Hah~ Hah! Why... am I so tired? I should still be able to..."
Ana was panting heavily. She was surprised to find that her teammates were nowhere to be seen.
Besides her, there were only the roaring Honkai Beasts in the strong wind.
"How could this be?"
Ana had not expected that the high-intensity Honkai energy and the strong winds would cause her to run out of stamina ahead of schedule.
And because of the Honkai, her body had already started to show signs of being corroded by Honkai energy.
If she continued to fight like this, the Herrscher of Ice would probably come out to play with the Herrscher of Wind.
Unlike Wendy, Ana's corruption was basically the most thorough among all the Herrschers.
From the first Herrscher, Joyce, the Herrschers either had a complete change in personality, or nothing happened at all. At worst, a dual personality would emerge.
But Ana was different.
Once she became a Herrscher, she would completely disown her family and friends. She was completely consumed by the Honkai.
In that state, if you knew, you would say she was a Herrscher. If you didn't, you would think she was some kind of high-level Death Trooper.
If Ana was corroded by the Honkai, it would be a complete disaster, with no chance of salvation.
"It's happening again... is this the end for me this time too?"
Looking at the Honkai Beasts constantly approaching her, Ana's face began to turn pale.
She had not expected that this situation would be so similar to the one before.
Even being alone was exactly the same as before.
"Is this... the end?"
A wave of despair surged in Ana's heart.
And just then, a dazzling flame streaked across the sky, like a meteor shooting down.
The scorching flames instantly tore through the surrounding air, creating a huge airwave. The Honkai Beasts were powerless in the face of this force and were burned to ashes.
Ana squinted her eyes. The strong light made it impossible for her to look directly at it for a moment.
"I say, Miss Ana."
A familiar voice sounded in her ear, with a hint of playful teasing.
"If you start to despair now, I'll really have a headache."
Ana was stunned for a moment. She saw the figure wrapped in flames, and her heart couldn't help but warm up. Although this figure had been so unreliable before, when Ana saw him, she felt an indescribable sense of security.
"To be honest, I'm already very tired. If I can't hold on and fall asleep, that would be bad."
Mo Wang's tone was full of helplessness, but it was also reassuring.
"Lord Captain?! How could you..."
Ana covered her mouth in surprise and said to Mo Wang.
"Oh my, this is a bit difficult to explain. But, you can just think of it as me, a knight, being unable to watch a saintess fall into danger."
Mo Wang took Ana's hand and said to her slowly.
"Miss Saintess, your knight has arrived. Please sign for delivery!"
At that moment, an indescribable feeling of warmth surged in Ana's heart, like being illuminated by a warm sun, dispelling the haze in her heart...
