Heart trembling, legs shaking…
The Herrscher of the Void scattered angry tears from mid-air, her gaze fixed on a direction where things had already calmed down, her fury soaring to the heavens.
"Brian!"
She had finally found an opportunity to take revenge on this world. The second Herrscher Core had granted her abundant Honkai energy, allowing her to connect to the Imaginary Space and restore her power at the fastest possible speed.
Moreover, she could sense the power of another Herrscher Core scattered within this space known as the Far East Branch. There was just some unknown interference preventing her from pinpointing the Herrscher Core's exact location.
Helpless, and in order to recover her strength as quickly as possible, as well as to get revenge on that hateful man.
The Herrscher of the Void chose to start with Raiden Mei, to kill this woman! And to seize the Herrscher Core from her body!
But she never expected…
"You foolish ants, why must you be so ungrateful!?"
Every time!
Every single time she wanted to make a move, some ungrateful pest would jump out to stop her!
All she wanted was to let this world know the pain Sirin had once felt, and to let everyone feel the warmth of world peace together.
Why did ungrateful people always have to come out and stop her!?
The Herrscher of the Void was filled with resentment.
Raiden Mei, with her greater endurance, stood firm against the surging waves. Although she also had some complaints about her damn man's indiscriminate attack, she knew it must have been a last resort.
And this guy's indiscriminate attack wasn't without effect; at the very least, it prevented the Herrscher of the Void, who was stronger than her, from focusing all her attention on her.
Even she had to admit that in the face of brute force, so-called skill was truly not worth a damn.
But thankfully, she was not alone.
Behind every successful woman, there is at least one man.
And her man was a man among men, the legendary Inner World Protagonist!
Though unsteady on her feet, Raiden Mei tensed her muscles and straightened her legs.
The Herrscher of the Void showed no desire to attack again for the moment, so Raiden Mei was able to exchange some information with Fu Hua, who had been on the sidelines the whole time.
"Class President, what on earth is going on?"
She remembered that the last person with Kiana was Fu Hua. But just from her going on a date with her boyfriend, someone had taken advantage of the situation.
Fortunately, no terrifying problems had arisen.
The Valkyrie sitting in the pool of water raised her head somewhat stiffly. The will to die a resolute death she previously had was gone from her.
The sudden surprise had been a bit too much, and she had suffered greatly from it, yet she couldn't complain to anyone.
Because… this wasn't just to subdue the Herrscher, it was also her own doing!
"This is all my fault. I mistakenly trusted that man."
Knowing they didn't have much time to talk, Fu Hua was concise, explaining the general situation as quickly as possible.
The Herrscher's revival, Schicksal Headquarters' plan, her own speculations…
Some things were not very clear.
But one thing was certain…
"As long as we stop this one, we can end all of this, right?"
"Yes."
No matter how many secrets lay behind it all, the Herrscher of the Void was definitely the core of the plan. As long as they beat this innately evil little Herrscher to her knees and let Kiana regain control of her body, most of the problems would be solved.
As for the other matters… they could be dealt with later!
Just as Raiden Mei was about to draw her blade, she looked to her side. Two petite Slavic girls were approaching from that direction.
"Big Sister Mei, are you two alright?"
The kind-hearted Seele Vollerei first showed concern for Raiden Mei's safety, warming one's heart.
"I'm fine. Have you finished things on your end as well?"
"Mhm."
Seele nodded, placing her soaking-wet sister on the ground. "Big Sister Rita didn't go hard on us. Big Sister Bronya and I got away from her easily."
The fight between Bronya and Rita had looked perilous, but in reality, it was anything but safe.
Seele didn't know what grudge the two had, but watching them fight had made her heart tremble with fear.
Fortunately, her favorite big brother had given her an opportunity to run away with Bronya.
Rita didn't pursue them afterward; she had no idea where she went.
Raiden Mei: "Don't worry about that woman Rita. She's not on our side right now."
Just as she was about to say more, Raiden Mei suddenly felt a powerful heat rapidly approaching from another direction.
That direction… was the Far East Branch's airport!
The Herrscher of the Void also sensed the approach of this power, but there was no sense of crisis in the arrogant Herrscher's eyes about being surrounded. There was only the excitement of obtaining yet another Herrscher Core.
The Gem of Haste had not been conquered by these foolish humans; at best, it was used as a power source for a Valkyrie battlesuit.
And such childish technology couldn't even compare to the knowledge the God of Honkai had bestowed upon Sirin.
Puny humans, wanting to use a Herrscher Core with their own shallow wisdom—how laughable!
Amidst her derisive and expectant emotions, the Valkyrie, as blazing as a flame, approached from the distance.
At this moment, Murata Himeko, wielding the power of the Gem of Haste, was like a fully-operating furnace in the eyes of everyone present—intense and terrifying. It even caused Raiden Mei and the others to smell the faint scent of burnt protein from their own hair.
"Yo, looks like I'm not too late!"
The Valkyrie, who was resolved to die, wore a relaxed expression, showing only the calm acceptance of one facing death with an open heart.
Her old life, which should have ended on a sickbed, wasn't important. What was important were these children with their bright futures!
A cold arc formed on the Herrscher of the Void's lips, her pair of bright golden eyes filled with endless indifference: "Foolish humans. You think you can stop me with just this?"
The Gem of Haste, the Gem of Conquest…
Coupled with the two Herrscher Cores in her body, she was about to reach seventy percent of Sirin's power at her peak.
A full four Herrscher Cores would make her stronger than ever before!
Even that Inner World Protagonist who had tattooed the Honeysuckle Crest on her body would have only one fate in the face of her exponentially increasing power: to be beaten to his knees and obediently hand over the two Herrscher Cores in his body!
In doing so, she would restore the glory of Sirin's era, letting the power of six Herrscher Cores bring terror to this world once again.
And with the experience of Sirin's failure, the Herrscher of the Void believed she could do better, letting this world re-experience the terror of a half-step Herrscher of the End!
There was no other possibility!
Fu Hua shakily stood up. Even though she was exceptionally ashamed, she couldn't be bothered with other matters.
"Herrscher of the Void, your ambition ends here!"
The most urgent task was to stop the plans of the Herrscher of the Void and Otto.
Everything else could wait!
She had to correct her mistake; she couldn't let more people be harmed because of it!
The indiscriminate attack struck again. Fu Hua, who had just made her grand declaration, nearly buckled at the knees and fell.
The sensation was simply too shameful. Even for an old-timer of fifty-five thousand years like her, it was hard to bear. She wished she could just kill herself on the spot to preserve her innocence.
The others present reacted similarly, filling the scene with an awkward atmosphere.
Seele and her Big Sister Bronya hugged each other, the hot breath exhaled from their small nostrils making one's face blush and heart pound, creating an urge to bite the little cutie's tender cheek.
Murata Himeko, who had been prepared, used her greatsword to support her body, avoiding embarrassing herself in front of her students.
The Herrscher of the Void had just lost focus for a moment when she saw a flash of lightning rapidly enlarging in her vision.
The vigilant Herrscher girl hurriedly pulled back to dodge, but a lock of her snow-white hair was still cut off by the thunderous slash.
The Herrscher of the Void stared at the woman with hatred in her eyes: "Why… weren't you affected?"
At this moment, Raiden Mei was like the Queen of Thunder descending upon the world, her amethyst-like eyes tinged with a purplish-red hue.
Her cheeks were as delicate as a budding flower, her eyes seemingly holding a pool of autumn water.
But the blade in the Valkyrie's hand was incomparably sharp, without a trace of hesitation.
"Because my sensitivity is higher than yours!"
Because she was more experienced, she could recover faster than the Herrscher of the Void.
Although that little bitch Kiana Kaslana was often assaulted, she was still a little bit away from the final step.
In short, this body hadn't experienced enough, so when faced with the same debuff, it didn't have the same recovery speed as Raiden Mei.
This was a disadvantage the Herrscher of the Void could not avoid, no matter what!
Realizing this, the hatred in the Herrscher of the Void's eyes intensified. She couldn't understand how the gap between them had been closed for such a ridiculous reason.
She only needed to attack a few more times to reclaim the Gem of Conquest and the Gem of Haste, allowing the great Queen of the Void to descend upon the world once more.
But the result…
"Damn it all!"
The Herrscher of the Void was about to curse when she suddenly looked towards the northern sky and revealed a gratified smile.
"Foolish humans, your doom has arrived!"
To the north… something was coming.
On Murata Himeko's battlesuit, a warning from Theresa sounded: "Himeko, a large swarm of Honkai Beasts is coming!"
Dense little dots formed a dark, oppressive cloud, looking as if it could destroy the world as it rushed towards the Far East Branch.
The smaller, nimbler Assault-class Honkai Beasts were already within sight, and the larger Honkai Beasts were not to be outdone.
Chariot-class, Templar-class, Emperor-class Honkai Beast…
But the most troublesome one was still…
"A Judgement-class Honkai Beast! Benares, the Judgement-class Honkai Beast born during the Second Honkai Eruption, is charging towards you!"
The massive dragon's body grew from small to large, casting a shadow on the ground below.
The wind howled as the bluish-white dragon prostrated itself behind the Queen of the Void.
"Kill them, Benares!"
…
"It's here too. It seems Lord Otto's plan has reached its final stage."
The chestnut-haired Valkyrie stood somewhere, watching the battlefield of Raiden Mei, the Herrscher of the Void, and the others from afar.
The plan was proceeding very smoothly. The Herrscher of the Void had successfully become enemies with the members of St. Freya High School, including Fu Hua.
A situation that was originally somewhat disadvantageous for the Herrscher of the Void was now reversed with the appearance of Benares.
All that was left was for Li Sushang and Durandal to complete their assigned mission and hold back that Inner World Protagonist, and this plan would be a success.
But…
"It seems that even our Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie is completely powerless against you."
The Inner World Protagonist appeared from behind, with two Valkyries hanging off of him.
Honestly, Rita didn't want to turn around and witness the unbearable sight.
Because she knew that once she saw the scene behind her, Durandal's perfect image in her mind would be shattered, and she would become a greedy, bad woman.
From a sunny and handsome Schicksal Valkyrie idol to a clingy, resentful woman pestering a man—it was truly too much to bear.
The youth, Brian, stopped, looking at the two Valkyries clinging to him, their muscles tensing up with nervousness. He too had a helpless expression.
"Who knew these two would be so persistent. They even got my pants all wet."
No matter how powerful a Valkyrie is, she is ultimately a Valkyrie made of water.
This is determined by the female anatomy and is not subject to human will.
And the key was that these two were so clingy, refusing to get off of him no matter what, willing to tarnish their own honor just to stop him from approaching the battlefield.
"Rita, aren't you going to come over and get your Durandal?"
Forced to turn around, Rita looked at Durandal, whose face was completely flushed, and her expression was a bit helpless: "Lord Brian, this is the first time for both Lady Durandal and Lady Sushang. Don't you think treating two beautiful young ladies so crudely is a bit too much?"
"Rita, if you're going to talk to me about this, then I have just one question for you."
The youth, Brian, had a severe expression, as if he could make Rita relive the feeling of being soaked with a single word.
"Please, speak."
"My body has been violated like this by these two. Shouldn't someone be held responsible for this?"
Rita: "…"
Neither Herrschers nor an Inner World Protagonist with an unbelievable amount of seminal fluid should belong on Earth.
Since they don't belong on Earth, then so-called human rights naturally don't exist. And if human rights don't exist, there's no question of responsibility.
They aren't human, so dealing with them in any way is within the realm of understanding.
Brian: "…"
He was 100% human, yet someone thought he wasn't.
Not wanting to be labeled as 'not human', the black-haired youth was about to argue, but was caught off guard when he saw a fist the size of a clay pot rapidly enlarging in his vision.
Judging from the armor covering this fist, it came from Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie, Durandal, who was hanging off of him.
On the way here, Brian had been constantly activating his ability, using the opportunity to confirm that Valkyries were indeed made of water.
Now, a single moment of carelessness had given Durandal a chance to retaliate.
Indeed, women were heartless creatures. Not only did they take billions in funds from him every night, but they were also utterly ruthless, casting him aside after sex!
The fist howled, but the attacker was still limp all over and couldn't muster her full strength.
Compared to Durandal's usual attacks, the Valkyrie at this moment was like she was playfully pounding his chest to act cute.
Freed from the Inner World Protagonist, Durandal's feet trembled, unable to stand steady on the ground. Beneath her Valkyrie battlesuit, a pink mark was flashing.
The Valkyrie's charming-filled eyes burned with anger.
She wished she could tear this Inner World Protagonist apart and wash away the shame on her with his life.
"You… I'm going to kill you!"
She, Bianka "Durandal" Ataegina, had never been so wronged in her entire life! Even Rita had never treated her like this!
Rita hurriedly went forward to support her superior. A gentle lift was all it took to know that Durandal had lost at least several kilograms of weight.
Who would have thought that her Durandal was so thirsty, refusing to let go even when her eyes were rolling back in her head.
It was time to put the plan to cultivate the second generation of Durandal on the agenda.
…
