"Hime... Himeko..."
A weak voice came from the communicator, and Murata Himeko breathed a sigh of relief.
"Theresa, I'm so glad you're okay."
More than half an hour had passed since the Honkai outbreak. The entire St. Freya High School and the Far East Branch were in chaos under the attack of an external force.
Even though Murata Himeko and the others did their best to evacuate the students here and organize forces to fight against the Honkai Beasts summoned by the Herrscher, under a situation pushed by a hidden hand, they were powerless to resist and could only hold some important positions.
And the trial of Theresa, the Branch Head, made her subordinate Murata Himeko even more worried.
Fortunately, she finally got news from Theresa now.
But even Murata Himeko knew that it was impossible for the current Theresa to bring any good news.
Bang—!
Murata Himeko swung the greatsword in her hand, cutting down a Honkai Beast.
Theresa on the other side of the communicator couldn't hide the weakness in her voice, but she could only make a request to Himeko: "Himeko, we have to stop my grandpa now!"
"I don't know what he wants to do, but he revived a Herrscher in this place."
"If we don't stop his conspiracy, we..."
Murata Himeko: "I know."
"The children are fighting against a powerful opponent right now and have no time to spare for these matters."
"The only ones who can help these children now are us."
Although admitting she was weaker than her students was a bit embarrassing, Murata Himeko's heart was filled more with the joy of seeing the new generation surpass the old.
They could no longer help Brian and the others much on the main battlefield, but at least they could fulfill their own responsibilities.
On the airship that had landed in the Far East Branch from Schicksal HQ, Theresa leaned against the cold cabin wall and got a clear view of the ship's modified interior.
The interior of this transport ship should have been empty, but at this moment, it was occupied by several huge containers.
The contents of several containers had already disappeared, with only the faint words '4th-generation Valkyrie battlesuit' visible.
And in the only container that was still functioning, a battlesuit filled with crimson and explosive colors stood like a king, looking down on everything around it.
The gem embedded on it was like a bomb that could explode at any moment, filled with the premonition of an impending apocalypse.
As one of the higher-ups in Schicksal, Theresa certainly knew about this armor.
"Key of Blankness..."
The legacy of the Previous Era, the source of Schicksal's Valkyrie battlesuit technology, the only battlesuit that could borrow the power of a Herrscher Core…
And also…
"The hope for us adults to fulfill our responsibilities."
Although she didn't know much about the Key of Blankness, Murata Himeko knew that this trip was a one-way ticket to death.
That Schicksal Overseer had calculated everything, even preparing a weapon for them, leaving them no choice but to use it.
The strongest in the Far East Branch was being besieged by Schicksal's Valkyries, and Theresa, the user of the Key of Binding, had been ambushed and lost her ability to fight.
Although Raiden Mei and the others were not weak, they were still a bit lacking against a fully awakened Herrscher.
To stop the Herrscher of the Void…
"Don't worry, Theresa, I will definitely bring that child Kiana back."
Murata Himeko showed no fear as she moved rapidly in Theresa's current direction.
The weak nun leaned against the cold inner wall, her baby-fat face flushed red by the fiery light.
"I'm sorry, Himeko..."
"I really... can't do anything."
…
Light and shadow intertwined, blades clashed…
A life-reaping long-handled weapon in the Valkyrie's hand sliced through the air, cutting off a few strands of silver-gray hair.
On the surface, in this duel between assassins, Bronya was temporarily at a disadvantage.
But…
"Silly little thing, don't worry."
'Seele' saw the truth at a glance. "Your Sister Bronya has the power given to her by that guy. Even in a battle of stamina, she can wear that woman down."
A pink light flickered on Bronya's stomach. The modified Honeysuckle Crest the girl had longed for ultimately did not come to an agreement with the Inner World Protagonist due to various factors.
This thing not only appeared when she got excited, but also when she was in battle.
Her opponent also had this thing on her, but there was no doubt that the Honeysuckle Crest on Bronya was stronger. The existence of the 4th-generation Valkyrie battlesuit only barely leveled the playing field.
Every version has its own god.
The spectating Seele was relieved to hear this, but then she became concerned about another issue.
"The other me, why do you have one, but I don't?"
'Seele': "..."
This idiot, she really knows how to hit a sore spot!
In the Stigma space, 'Seele's' face flushed red. Her long, black-stockinged legs couldn't help but press together, and her crimson eyes couldn't help but fill with moisture.
She felt as if her black stockings had changed at this moment, as if some scoundrel was violating her.
The key point was, it was one thing for that guy to violate her; she could just consider it suffering in Seele's place.
But not only did that guy eat her up and wipe his mouth clean, he even had to tattoo the Honeysuckle Crest on her to represent his ownership.
Fortunately, although she and Seele shared the same body, it didn't affect this brainless little fool!
'Seele' immediately scolded: "Do you really think this thing is something to be proud of!? I wish I could kill that guy right now!!!"
Knowing that her other self was a complete tsundere brat, Seele of course didn't take these words seriously.
When 'Seele' was feeling strong, she dared to step on Brian's head and call him 'Zako'; when she was rolling her eyes, 'Seele' could only lift her skirt and choose to settle things later.
In short…
In Seele's eyes, her other self had completely fallen in love with that feeling, and was just unwilling to share it with her.
"I understand, the other me."
'Seele': "..."
Forget it, there's no explaining to this kind of idiot. It's better to watch how Bronya beats her opponent to her knees.
With two little sisters watching from the side, Bronya's desire to show off reached its peak.
The silver-gray-haired girl was at a slight disadvantage in the previous fight because she wasn't wearing a Valkyrie battlesuit.
But at this moment, the girl would not be defeated so easily.
"Rita, it seems that although you've won that guy's heart, you haven't won his body!"
Bronya looked at Rita's lower abdomen with a playful expression.
If we're sisters, then come and cut me!
She knew this woman also had a Honeysuckle Crest and could be considered a semi-comrade, but she didn't expect the Honeysuckle Crest on this woman to be an old version.
You should know, the new version of the Honeysuckle Crest is not just a little toy, but also a device similar to a Stigma that can greatly enhance combat ability.
And after that guy Brian returned from the Elysian Realm, he updated the Stigma on her again, giving her even greater potential.
This potential has not been fully realized yet, but it already allows Bronya to compete with Rita, who is wearing a 4th-generation Valkyrie battlesuit.
At the mention of that man, Rita's expression grew a little grim: "This matter has nothing to do with you!"
After all, her current actions could already be described as a betrayal.
She was a Valkyrie of Schicksal, but her heart had been invaded by that man, and her body was already stained with his traces.
But for a higher pursuit, she had to choose to act from Schicksal's standpoint, which filled her heart with conflict, to the point where she didn't even dare to step onto the battlefield against Raiden Mei.
Bronya: "Rita, you really are a complete coward!"
"Say whatever you want!"
As her words fell, a sharp scythe, with its cold, deadly edge, came slashing without hesitation.
The best way to stop an opponent's trash talk is to sew their mouth shut!
"Then I won't be polite!"
The silver-gray-haired girl pulled out a short knife from somewhere and clashed with the scythe in Rita's hand.
An inch longer is an inch stronger.
Bronya was already shorter than Rita, and the difference in weapon length further amplified Bronya's disadvantage.
Yet in this duel between assassins, Bronya, who had once again become the Silver Wolf of the Urals, was only at a slight disadvantage, with only a few close calls.
It was hard to tell if Bronya's fighting skills were just that superb, or if this woman Rita was intentionally holding back.
The two girls went back and forth, clashing on this ravaged land, and it was unclear who was holding whom back.
The two, locked in a stalemate, thought their contest would continue until this conspiracy reached a conclusion.
But…
"Mmm~~"
An invisible ripple swept across the world. The two stalemated girls' legs gave out, and a familiar sensation robbed them of all their strength.
Bronya and Rita looked at the soft, moist glow in each other's eyes. Both were all too familiar with this sensation and knew what it was.
This time, the feeling came faster, stronger, and wetter, almost making one ascend on the spot.
This must be the work of that Inner World Protagonist. That guy launched an indiscriminate attack on everyone in this area, making everyone fall under his demonic claws!
An excited pink light flashed on the lower abdomens of the two girls, like a hundred little toys vibrating on their bodies.
But there was not a moment to mourn for Rita's and Bronya's loss of composure; Seele's realization arrived immediately.
The delicate girl's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground in a W-sitting position. Seele's upper body went limp as if her bones had been removed, and she toppled backward bonelessly.
The girl, who had never experienced this sensation before, trembled all over. Her fair, delicate skin was covered in a crimson hue she had never seen before.
Her eyes went completely blank, and even her muscles trembled with a fixed rhythm.
"So... this is... the feeling the other me experienced..."
Even Sage Time couldn't take away the admiration in Seele's heart.
She finally understood why her other self had so resolutely tried to stop her from taking the most crucial step in life with Brother Brian.
Because this feeling was just too comfortable, like ascending to heaven.
Her Sister Bronya was also a complete villain for preventing her from experiencing such a blissful sensation.
If not for this twist of fate, she would probably have been kept in the dark all along.
'Seele' was also speechless. Even though she wasn't directly controlling the body, she was still affected.
This attack even had an effect on the realm of consciousness, causing 'Seele', a girl who had experienced a whole night of this sensation, to freeze stiff in her chair, taking a long time to catch her breath.
"That guy..."
Her eyes were filled with resentment, but it couldn't hide the charming and moving allure within them.
But what angered 'Seele' the most was not that the lewd Inner World Protagonist had made her lose her composure in front of Seele, but that he had corrupted the pure Seele.
There's no middle ground when it comes to crossing a line; it's either zero times or countless times.
Now that Seele knew what this felt like, this idiot would surely turn into a gluttonous little brat, climbing into the Inner World Protagonist's bed when she wasn't looking.
This one thing, she had to prevent!
Without giving Seele time to react, 'Seele', who already had resistance due to her prior experience, snatched control of the body from Seele: "Seele, this is no place to linger. We should leave."
Although she had to admit it, even the naturally competitive 'Seele' knew that once that Inner World Protagonist used this ability, the outcome of the battle was no longer in question.
No woman could stand firm before the Inner World Protagonist's jeans.
No one!
Quick-witted Bronya reached out her hand and clasped it with her sister's. They sped off in one direction, leaving two long trails on the ground.
The conflicted Rita had no intention of pursuing, just feeling the sensation on her body, even feeling a little nostalgic.
"You... you really are a bad man that one can never forget..."
…
On the other side…
Fu Hua, who had successfully intercepted the Herrscher of the Void with Raiden Mei, was tensing her hands, almost about to use the legendary Inch Force: Skull Cracker in the next moment, risking her own life to stop the Herrscher of the Void's rampage.
Suddenly…
An invisible ripple swept by. The gray-haired, blue-eyed girl fell to one knee, looking down at her body in disbelief.
"What... is this feeling?"
The iron tree blossoms!
…
