29 Chapter 29: "Ragna choice"

Use the power of gravity to fly above the snowy trees. Welt Yang, who had a high-field perspective, could see how fierce the attacks were below.

The snow melted, and all the trees in the forest had turned into a sea of ​​blazing fire.

"Siegfried... Don't tell me you're breaking your dormant genes again..."

Welt Yang became anxious.

A single swing of the Key of Destruction couldn't possibly cause such a huge scene like this. Siegfried really seemed to be playing with his life on the line.

The Key of Destruction, or as it is usually called the Judgment of Shamash, or the Cleaver of Shamash, is a weapon from an earlier civilization era made from the core of the 7th herrscher.

In the form of a double pistol it is called the Judgment of Shamash, while in the form of a sword it is called the Cleaver of Shamash.

This weapon is a hereditary weapon from the Kaslana family which has enormous power if its full power is unleashed.

Because of its great strength, every user must die after releasing the full power of the Key of Destruction.

"Does Siegfried intend to die here? No, he has a honkai activator in his body. He shouldn't die like that so easily. I need to find him quickly."

Welt Yang looked around him intently. Within his gaze, he discovered two targets.

Following the overwhelming honkai energy, Welt Yang managed to see Siegfried's extremely dim presence in the smoke from the trees, held the Cleaver of Shamash, and ran to catch up with the Herrscher of Void who was fleeing away.

Another target, he saw a team of valkyries consisting of 12 valkyries, protecting several researchers, and fighting against the Honkai beasts.

Welt Yang decided to help the person closest to him first.

"Star of Eden!"

Created the 9th Divine Key in his hand. All the Honkai beasts around the valkyrie were crushed instantly, and Welt Yang floated down above them.

"I have cleared all the Honkai beasts in the surrounding area. You valkyries retreat immediately before the Honkai beast form an encirclement again."

Ragna who noticed Welt Yang's presence, waved her sword which was imbued with the blood of the Honkai beast, and she pointed her greatsword towards the sky.

"Sovereign of Anti-Entropy, Herrscher of Reason. I am very grateful for your help in exterminating the Honkai beast. But I suspect you for what happened here. Tell me, what are you doing in a place like this?"

Ragna's suspicions had a basis.

If you ask what is the most iconic representative of Honkai besides the Honkai beast, then the answer is herrscher, the apostle of honkai.

Even though Welt Yang claims himself to be a herrscher who stands by humanity's side. All the valkyries who fought against the Honkai beasts always had a slanted eye.

However, their homes and families were all destroyed by the honkai itself. Coupled with Schicksal's propaganda that didn't even mention Welt Yang and Anti-Entropy's contribution in the second honkai war, their reputation among the new valkyries grew cold.

Especially now, right now this place has almost turned into a restricted area because of the enormous honkai energy. Welt Yang's appearance here should be suspected of being a hidden conspirator from behind the scenes.

"Ahead is a herrscher who was just born. Coming there is just giving your lives for nothing."

"Oh, you mean that we are all weak?" Ragna raised her eyebrows displeased.

Lowering her greatsword, and saw that her comrades did not have any fatal injuries. Ragna breathed a sigh of relief, and she looked up at Welt Yang who was in the sky once again.

"We can't surrender, we just received an order from the Overseer to kill the herrscher that was just born. Right now is when she is at her weakest, and an opportunity like this we can't pass up."

Welt Yang raised his eyebrows.

"So what would you do?"

Ragna smiled: "How about we work together to kill the Herrscher? Besides that I have to pay attention to you because you are very suspicious here."

"Our job is only to kill Herrscher. We will seize the core, and you can get the body."

"Don't reject it too quickly. This cooperation of ours is mutually beneficial. If we don't get this matter over with as soon as possible, it is very likely that a great collapse will occur once again."

"How, are you interested in this deal?"

Hearing Ragna's words, Welt Yang frowned to consider the consequences, and the valkyries behind her also opened their mouths in astonishment.

Captain Ragna, are your morals too flexible?!

One side said it was suspicious, the other side said it wanted to work together to complete the mission. Aren't you afraid of tearing down bridges?!

Himeko couldn't ask: "Is captain Ragna always like this?"

The Valkyrie had an extremely indistinct sour expression on her face: "Captain Ragna is always like this. Even when in danger, she always looks after the safety of her comrades first. I feel that even Captain Ragna herself doubts that we can all return from this expedition safely. So that's why she made a deal like this."

Captain Ragna is a gentle person like the big sister next door.

As a Valkyrie whose goal is to eradicate Honkai, and usually die because of Honkai. Captain Ragna who is gentle and cares deeply for them is also a spiritual object for all Stormtrooper valkyries.

Captain Ragna's gentleness and charm conquer them all.

Maybe that was also the reason why she could become their captain.

"Okay, then we'll make a temporary alliance. Himeko!!"

"Yes captain!"

Himeko who was suddenly summoned, hurriedly stepped forward.

"Don't be so tense, just relax. I need you to lead the research team to retreat immediately. The battlefield isn't suitable for them. Himeko, I leave their safety to you."

Felt a pat on the shoulder by Captain Ragna. Himeko's posture straightened, and she answered with certainty.

"You can entrust them to me captain!"

"Hahaha, I told you not to be so tense~" Ragna burst out laughing.

The reason why she told Himeko to retreat with the research team was actually quite simple. She, still can't die here.

At the very least, this young seed wouldn't die under her own tutelage.

Done instructed Himeko and the research team to retreat immediately. Ragna picked up her greatsword stuck in the snow, and she looked at the valkyrie waiting for her orders.

Ragna took a deep breath.

"We're all probably going to die."

"Are you sure you'll continue to follow me all the way forward?"

Without speaking nonsense, Ragna said in a straight tone, and she looked at the valkyries, her companions, with a serious look.

"Captain, are you kidding me? If we all went would you be able to fight the herrscher alone?"

"Stop being cool captain. Here, come into my hug."

"DESTROY THE HONKAI!!!"

"...Well, looks like someone's gone crazy again."

....

Hearing her members of the valkyries didn't take her words seriously at all. Ragna, who had a sour expression, also smiled.

"Alright stop playing around. Everyone get ready, we'll be leaving in a bit!!"

"Straight to death, and defeat the herrscher!!!"

All the Stormtrooper valkyries raise their weapons high:

"OOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!"
