Chapter 102: Maid's Cleaning Mission

The situation on Rita's side was not optimistic. World Serpent seemed well-prepared and genuinely intended to put her in a deadly situation.

A continuous stream of Death Messengers surged towards her. After dealing with one batch, another would follow, like a group of sharks catching the scent of blood, rushing forward to tear off a piece of flesh for a feast.

Deprived of the assistance of Honkai energy, even the S-rank Valkyrie Rita, after fighting for so long, was beginning to feel exhausted.

She gritted her teeth, glaring at the encroaching Death Messengers. In her heart, she secretly made a determination.

As long as she could break through a gap, perhaps there would be a turning point.

Just as Rita was preparing for a desperate fight, crisp and loud gunshots echoed in the space. Several Death Messengers nearby fell in response.

Rita looked in the direction of the sound and, to her surprise, saw the white-haired girl she had been chasing for a long time boldly appearing before her.

"It seems Miss Rita is in trouble," Kiana said, observing Rita, who was already somewhat exhausted, with a complicated mood.

Both Anti-Entropy and World Serpent were now her enemies. She probably should have stayed out of it, watching the situation from the sidelines rather than abruptly entering the battlefield, becoming the center of attention for both factions.

But she was Kiana Kaslana. Knowing about the World Serpent's conspiracy, Kiana thought there might still be a chance to influence Anti-Entropy. No, perhaps it wasn't about influencing; it was more about dragging them into the mess.

Seeing the target she had been pursuing appearing so openly in front of her, Rita's emotions displayed a complexity that couldn't be calculated even with a pie chart.

She had successfully investigated the details of Schicksal Pharmaceuticals and found the Herrscher of Void. This should have been a happy event. However, at this moment, Rita couldn't find any joy.

There was no way because she was currently deeply trapped and finding it hard to break free. Although she was an S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, she didn't possess the extraordinary physical qualities and special abilities typical of other S-ranks. Her combat style usually relied on weapons infused with high-intensity Honkai energy. Now, this method had been banned by World Serpent.

Moreover, among the S-rank Valkyries, she was at the bottom... If Durandal was like a ceiling in the current S-rank Valkyries of Anti-Entropy, then she, Rita, was the floor tile...

"You should already know what Schicksal Pharmaceuticals is planning. I won't say much," Kiana said, knocking back the approaching Death Messengers, followed by more of them. "So, Miss Maid, do you plan to continue following Otto's orders to capture me here, or join me in preventing this disaster?"

Rita, after hearing this, was silent for a moment, not speaking. She quietly walked to Kiana's side, taking on a stance of fighting side by side.

"It seems, Miss Maid, you have made a choice," Kiana said with a slight smile.

"Just a temporary choice," Rita said with her head lowered, whether due to fatigue or the complex emotions of fighting alongside her enemy.

........

Thousands of meters away, in the underground main building of Schicksal Pharmaceuticals, World Serpent's operatives were having a conversation.

"White Pigeon, now it's done. Looks like Rita can't be detained." Jackal, watching the live broadcast, expressed dissatisfaction to Chase beside her.

"I've said it's White Dove," Chase felt helpless. "Moreover, Ms. Jackal, it's really not my fault. My stigmata seems to be exposed when facing the real Herrscher of Void."

Chase continued with his usual rhetoric. After all, Sirin's stigmata was unique in the world. Others didn't have it, and it wasn't possible to verify the truth. There was no possibility of being exposed.

The effectiveness and drawbacks of this stigmata, wasn't it all just his own words?

Raven, who was on the side, sneered but didn't say much. However, Chase noticed this reaction. He turned his head, somewhat displeased, and said, "Steamed buns, Island Boomer Crow, don't you support me?"

[Raven with buns heavily highlighted pics here: ]

"Say that again?!" Raven was suddenly furious. Her villa island was a forbidden place that no one could touch. Just thinking about her hard-earned villa island, almost half a year's worth of savings all gone, and not being able to find anyone to reason with, made her feel quite upset. Chase just loved bringing up this matter, which was equivalent to seeking death!

Didn't he see that the last person who spoke like this, Night Raven, had already been transferred to another location for a mission?

Chase smiled and didn't continue this topic. After all, intrusive thoughts was fulfilled, but it had to be moderate.

"Now I don't think it's the time to investigate whose responsibility it is," Chase said. "Our plan has been exposed. Perhaps what we should think about now is how to safely escape under the vigilant eyes of Anti-Entropy."

After saying that, Chase shook his head. "At least, from now on, Shencheng Pharmaceuticals and World Serpent are on Otto's blacklist for real."

"I know." Jackal bit her finger, staring intensely at the real-time broadcast of the combat mechs, looking a bit anxious. Especially after hearing Otto's name, it seemed to stir up some unpleasant memories.

She prided herself as a sage, an inventor, but in the previous operation against the Second God Key, Thousand Realms in One, she was completely defeated by Otto, almost ending up in a bad situation.

If it weren't for Raven's last-minute support, the World Serpent might have lost one less operative now.

After the commotion caused by Rita and Kiana, the entire underground research facility was almost destroyed. Once Rita escaped, World Serpent would face the righteous Iron Fist of the Herrscher of Void.

The Stigmata Project was not yet complete, and the World Serpent's base established with great difficulty in Shenzhou was about to be exposed by Schicksal. Jackal was indeed a bit anxious. She had already started considering how to face the accountability of the future Lord.

"No, there is still a chance. Since the plan has been exposed, it's better to do it more thoroughly... Just start the experiment directly, turning the entire city into a testing ground..."

"Wait, something is approaching!" Raven's shout woke up Jackal, who was still thinking. She turned to look, capturing the image of a transport ship that was close...

Then, all the footage of that area was cut off, turning into scattered white dots.

Jackal was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacting.

That crazy Rita actually used a transport ship to wipe the floors!

Jackal got up from her seat and ran out. It was only a few kilometers away from the battle site. It was bound to be affected by this shockwave. If she didn't run now, when would she?

It seemed to confirm Jackal's thoughts. The powerful shockwave shook the ground. Just as Jackal was about to go upstairs, she was hit by this sudden impact. Without a firm grip, she stumbled, and with a thud, she rolled down the stairs.
