Chapter 156: "Feel uncomfortable"

Northern Plains...

This is different from the valkyrie camp which has safe zone as Bronya imagined. Valkyrie here has reached a very fragile balance point with the Honkai beasts.

The Honkai beasts kept coming one after another through the portals created by the Herrscher of Void, and this made the many valkyries that had survived here very overwhelmed.

The sounds of gunshots, slashes, help for reinforcements, and even the roars of the Honkai beasts, mixed into one which made the ears of those who heard it very dizzy.

"SERAPH'S WINGS OF LIGHT!"

Eject dozens of auto-homing gamma ray bullets from her Moonlight godsbane suit, and exterminate a group of Honkai beasts. Kiana who landed on the ground, wiped the sweat that dripped down her chin.

"Are you all okay!?"

"Yeah, we're fine! We're valkyries from Alfa squad, please let us help you!"

Kiana was silent: "...Do you still have the strength now? Please take the injured to retreat immediately. I will cover your escape route!"

".... Thank You..."

....

Couldn't hear the small voice that the shy valkyrie made. Kiana, who couldn't even rest a bit because she was constantly surrounded by Honkai beasts, raised her Divine Key weapon towards the Honkai beasts once again.

Successfully covered the Alfa squad's escape route from attacks by all kinds of Honkai beasts, and began to approach the temporary defense camp. As they got closer to the camp, Kiana could finally heave a sigh of relief.

"[Kiana, good job. Just leave everything to them this time.]"

Hearing Aunt Theresa's voice from her communicator. The Mecha Titan, who was the Anti-Entropy reinforcement, began to move to form a protective wall, and this succeeded in holding back the movement of the Honkai beasts horde for a while.

Kiana took a breath for a moment.

"Aunt Theresa, please tell me where else the trapped Valkyrie squad is located. We have to quickly save them all!"

"[....Kiana, you don't have to try so hard. Take a break.]"

"No, if I rest then the casualties will increase! Please tell me the location of all of them Aunt Theresa, please!"

Returned to the camp, and could see many valkyries groaning in pain everywhere. Kiana, who feels she is still healthy, doesn't want to waste her time here anymore.

There are still many people who need her help.

Compared to sitting still, and doing nothing here. Kiana felt she was better off wasting her time saving a few more valkyrie lives.

"Kiana, plans have changed. We will withdraw from this place immediately." Siegfried approached Kiana with cold eyes.

"What!? What did you say old man? Did your brain get kicked by a donkey?"

Kiana was surprised.

"What about the valkyries that are still trapped in the Honkai beasts siege out there? You want to leave them all behind!?"

"Yes, there is no other choice."

".... What!?"

Didn't expect that Siegfried, her father, would say cold words like these so easily. Kiana looked at Siegfried with a confused look.

Siegfried sighed.

"After Herrscher of Void's siege failed, she went into hiding and she started creating portals everywhere that could spawn Honkai beasts without limit."

"Cecilia was also seriously injured because she had used Schariac's sacred blood in her body to save the lives of many valkyries from honkai energy radiation. Now, she needs medical treatment as quickly as possible."

Saying all this in one go, Siegfried's eyes turned colder and colder.

"Our valkyries have had enough casualties, Kiana. It's time to retreat."

"Overserer Otto also agrees with this plan. So Kiana, we need your help to keep the convoy team safe during the retreat."

Heard everything Siegfried said, and took a few steps back. Kiana was confused, didn't know what else to do.

Should she retreat?

Just like this?

Why?

"That's right! There's still Mr. Welt who can help us! Didn't he say earlier that he would go face to face with the Herrscher of Void? We have to help him too!"

Siegfried shook his head.

"No, Kiana. That guy just took advantage of the gap created by us in the beheading operation to rush to the Herrscher of Void's position. He doesn't need our help at all."

"Besides, if everything he said is true, do you believe that Herrscher will kill Herrscher?"

"We can't risk this bet any further. Overseer Otto is already prepared to clear this place with a honkai fusion bomb within 3 hours."

"We must quickly withdraw from this place before it's too late."

Seeing her father's burly right hand stretched out before her, as if seeking her consent to cooperate. Kiana took a few more steps back in response to his answer, and she looked at Siegfried with complicated eyes.

"You... You are not my father..."

Kiana gritted her teeth tightly.

"My father would never say something like this, especially if he had to abandon his friends!"

"My father was a hero, and you are not!"

Having a clear mind, and realizing that right now she is still in the bubble universe, not the real world. Kiana now has no doubts.

"If you want to retreat then retreat! I, Kiana Kaslana will stay here and help the trapped valkyries get out of the war zone! I will save them all!"

Siegfried frowned: "Kiana, don't act rashly!"

"I wasn't rashly! You yourself taught me, father. That Kaslana will not waste the opportunity to save others!"

"I won't run away! I won't let many people sacrifice here anymore! I will stop this war!"

"Kiana where are you go!? COME BACK!!"

....

Managed to steal the terminal held by Theresa, and left the valkyrie camp in a rush. Kiana gritted her teeth tightly, and she started repairing the position tracking signal that was on the terminal.

Thankfully, nearby at this time there was a signal requesting reinforcements.

Kiana immediately rushed towards there at full speed.

"Bronya! Seele! I've finally found you!"

"Kiana!?"

Bronya, who was currently on guard against the Honkai beasts attack, stopped Project Bunny's movement, and she looked at Kiana who was currently in front of her with a confused look.

"Kiana... Why are you crying?"

"Eh? W-What do you mean?"

Touched her cheek, and felt it was very wet. Kiana immediately realized that her eyes were now blurred by her own tears.

Has red eyes, and keeps rubbing her cheek with her arm to remove all evidence. When it was all over, Kiana could only look at Bronya languidly.

"Is it ugly?"

"Yes, it is very ugly."

"Hehe, then sorry Bronya. I'm fine now."

...

Silent, and felt very uncomfortable with Kiana who covered up her sadness with a smile on her face. Even though Bronya wanted to ask why she was crying, Bronya swallowed all the questions into her throat.

Now, there was a more important problem they needed to discuss at the moment.

"Bronya, do you know how to finish this world as quickly as possible?"

Bronya nodded her head: "Yes, according to experience from the first world and the second world, Joachim is the key point to complete this test. But... Bronya discovered something strange."

"Bronya just met Mr. Welt before. But for some reason his attitude became very cold."

Hearing Bronya's experience, Kiana also nodded her head blankly.

"It feels like they are different people. Even father's attitude has changed... What is actually happening in this bubble world?"

Veliona answered her: "Of course because the space structure in this bubble world is very fragile and unstable. The consumption of war here only accelerates the collapse."

"...Seele?"

"Let me down, Sister Bronya."

Dropped Seele from her back, and noticed that Seele's movements were quite strange, different from the Seele she knew. Bronya frowned.

She felt strange.

"Sister Bronya, don't you have a device that can detect the construction of this world right? After seeing it, you will immediately understand what I'm talking about right now."

Pulled out the Genius, and saw the wavy data, going up and down quickly. After observing for a while, Bronya confirmed Seele's guess.

This bubble world, is currently very unstable.

Kiana guessed: "Since it is unstable, then there must be a problem with Joachim in this world. You two have previously met him. Where did he go?"

Bronya answered: "He said that he was going to the tower of Babylon to kill the Herrscher of Void. That was an hour ago."

Kiana was shocked: "Wait a minute, he has already gone to the tower of Babylon?! Bronya, quickly show us the way! We have to save Sister Sirin!"

Bronya frowned: "Sister Sirin? You mean Herrscher of Void? What do you mean Kiana, please explain, Bronya doesn't understand."

Bronya still doesn't know that Sirin is a herrscher of Void, a war criminal during the second honkai eruption, and also the reason why her parents died.

Hearing that Kiana called the Herrscher of Void as Sirin, made Bronya feel very odd.

What does the vile Herrscher of Void have to do with the cute and funny senior Sirin?

The logic in Bronya's brain experienced a short circuit for a moment.

"Bronya quickly lead the way! We have to go to the tower of Babylon before it's too late!"

"K-Kiana calm yourself, it hurts."

Slap off Kiana's hand that was gripping her wrist tightly. Bronya stroked her numb hand, and she looking at Kiana with a disgruntled look.

Why are you so panicked?

Can we talk quietly and peacefully?

Don't use violence!

"ROAARRR!!!!"

Bronya: "What?"

Kiana: "Eh? There's something flying in the sky!"

Veliona: "...This place is really chaotic."

....

Looking up at the sky in unison. Behind the clouds filled with black smoke dust, A white figure like snow descended from the sky, and the Honkai beasts immediately dived towards the valkyrie camp at full speed.

"Benares!"

"Why is it going towards the camp!?"

Kiana was surprised.
