The unfolding of events in the forthcoming episode was a leap beyond the realm of everyone's most extravagant conjectures.
Theresa, had been clandestinely aligning herself with the anti-Entropy faction from long time, represented by the intellectual powerhouses, Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla. Their objective? To orchestrate a rebellion against her own grandfather, a plot that sent shockwaves through the ranks.
Could this be true? Was there really a rebellion brewing in St. Freya academy against the Schicksal headquarters?
Kallen, cast a fleeting glance at Theresa. The latter was caught in a whirlwind of explanations, her petite face mirroring the alarm she felt. She blurted out in a voice tinged with panic:
"Grandma, I'm not involved with Anti-Entropy!"
Kallen retorted, her gaze blank yet piercing, "You might as well be involved!" She let Theresa grapple with the gravity of her words, allowing her to experience the full weight of the situation.
If there was indeed a connection, at least the covert base that Anti-Entropy had established in St. Freya would have a plausible justification. Kallen thought to herself, her heart heavy with disappointment, "Do you have any idea how let down Grandma feels at this moment?"
She felt a sense of helplessness wash over her. The flag of the opposition had been firmly planted in Theresa's territory, and she was oblivious to it. Kallen wondered, "How can you assure me when you're unaware of what's happening right under your nose?"
If Theresa, in the game, had been meticulously planning a rebellion against her grandfather for an Long time being, wouldn't it be logical to assume that the real-life Theresa would exhibit similar behavior towards her grandmother? There was already a plethora of evidence pointing towards this conclusion. If Theresa was unaware of the happenings within her own territory, it would imply that Kallen had failed in her duty to educate her granddaughter. Therefore, the most plausible explanation was that Theresa had allowed Anti-Entropy to infiltrate her academy and establish a base.
While others ascend to the position of bishop, driven by their unquenchable ambition, wreaking havoc among the populace, in your case, Theresa, it's purely and simply a question of competence!
Kallen could only stare at Theresa for a while, "if Theresa is actually unaware then Theresa's will be Re-education, I failed to teach her, unlike Otto." Kallen whispered to herself.
(not really Kallen, Theresa Otto world is like that because she doesn't trust her grandfather from long time, It's weird that you think her education is working when she's trying to plot against you.)
Theresa who felt Kallen's gaze felt like her free time to read comics and eat snacks was threatened, quickly retreated and ran out of the room.
Kallen could only watch as his beloved granddaughter ran out of sight, she sighed before focusing back on the game and the chapter at hand.
As the chapter draws to its climactic conclusion, the narrative perspective shifts dramatically. The focus is now on Fu Hua, a character who, up until this point, has been perceived by the masses as the antagonist. She finds herself on the precipice of a face-off with the formidable Benares.
Her mission is clear and unwavering: to protect humanity and combat the Honkai. She is prepared to go to any lengths necessary to vanquish this monstrous Honkai Beast!
Positioned amidst the clouds, she stands resolute, her armor lending her an air of invincibility. Her gaze, icy and unyielding, is fixed on the Honkai beast that looms ominously across the room. The tension in the air is palpable as the dragon, a symbol of the beast's power, emits a deep, guttural roar, signaling its readiness to strike at any given moment.
"Fourth Generation Valkyrie Armor, Shadow Knight, restrictions lifted!"
[Is Fu Hua this strong? Fighting the dragon alone? But that armor is so cool!
[Have you forgotten that she took Kiana and knocked out Theresa, the cutest girl in the world?]
[Something's wrong with the plot. Kiana's turning into a Herrscher. It's not going to be as sadistic as the midsummer Sanguine Nights, is it?]
[Am I the only one who thinks this dragon is beautiful? If it could take human form, it would be absolutely beautiful!]
In contrast to the disbelief expressed by the other players, Kallen, although awestruck by the 4th generation Valkyrie armor showcased in the video, shook her head at the unfolding battle and sighed softly, remarking,
"I hadn't anticipated that the Immortal's body would deteriorate to this extent, necessitating the use of the Valkyrie Armor even to combat a severely wounded dragon."
Her gaze turned distant, inevitably drawn back to a moment 500 years prior when she led the Schicksal to the east. As the most formidable Valkyrie of that era, the power of the Schicksal had also reached its zenith. They had resolved to embark on an expedition, but en route, they encountered an unexpected figure.
This was a woman, the legendary Immortal of China.
In that era, she stood alone, an unyielding mountain before an army of thousands.
Whether it was a fist or a sword, she had no adversary. In the blink of an eye, she had advanced to the forefront of the army.
This was the epitome of an Immortal at her peak. Without any weapons, there was no adversary in the world that could stand against her.
What of an S class Valkyrie, or a God's Key from a bygone civilization that had been unearthed? None of these held any significance before her.
A severely injured Benares? Wasn't the Herrscher utterly defeated by the Red Kite Immortal during the second Honkai?
However, according to her, this victory came at a steep price.
With the unwavering support of the Valkyrie's fiery artillery, Fu Hua embarked on her mission to obliterate the dragon's three crystals. Each crystal, distinguished by its unique color, represented a distinct attribute: the blazing fury of fire, the chilling stillness of ice, and the electrifying force of thunder.
In the video, Fu Hua's voice resonated with a hint of mature arrogance as she declared:
"How audacious of a mere fluorescent candles to vie with the all-consuming fire?"
"The a slight cold frost-laden cliffs merely nip at the skin."
"Let us extinguish this weak electric light."
One by one, the crystals, each radiating a different hue, were shattered into oblivion. The dragon, now bereft of its power sources, collapsed to the ground, unable to muster the strength to rise again.
Within the immersive world of the game, players were given the opportunity to experience the allure of Fu Hua's newly unveiled armor. Upon the arrival of the special points, or 'sp', the Euler mode was activated, marking the commencement of an exhilarating battle sequence.
The swift and agile movements of Fu Hua were such that only the fleeting shadow of her legs could be discerned amidst the chaos of the battlefield. As she danced through the fray, the enemy's health bar dwindled rapidly, testament to the devastating power of her attacks.
In the realm of the game, Fu Hua's hands wielded this power with an ease that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.
[Brother(sister) Fu Hua is so handsome! So strong!]
[Good middle-aged words, but they are unexpectedly emotional. A mere firefly, how dare it compete with the moon!]
[The sensation of landing a successful blow is exhilarating! It's the epitome of cool!]
"Is the Red Kite Immortal, or rather, Fu Hua, truly of middle age?" Kallen queried, her gaze fixed on the game screen, her expression a blend of curiosity and uncertainty.
Rita, too, cast a puzzled glance at the game. She had previously embarked on a mission alongside that lord, yet she had failed to perceive this aspect of her at the time!
"Ahem, it's merely a game effect, nothing more!" Luo Mo interjected, his cheeks flushing with a hint of embarrassment.
Internally, he mused, 'Kallen, with her audacious demeanor, is even more outrageous than her in-game persona!'
Hold on, those quotes are too precious to alter - they encapsulate the very essence of Kallen!
.....
In this moment, the seemingly frail trio of Mei, Bronya, and Fu Hua found themselves huddled together in their room, a shiver running down their spines...
Despite the initial shock of Theresa, the esteemed leader of the academy, being incapacitated at the onset, the voice of the blonde man that echoed in the aftermath provided some context.
Durandal, the legendary Valkyrie of Schicksal, renowned for her unparalleled strength, was also present. The element of surprise had been leveraged to launch a covert attack.
Given these circumstances, it was a scenario they could reluctantly accept!
However, the current situation painted a different picture. Fu Hua, single-handedly battling a gargantuan dragon-shaped Honkai beast, showcased a level of strength that seemed incongruous with her status as a student. It was a sight that left them questioning,
"Could she truly be of the same age as us?"
The realization dawned upon them as to why Fu Hua always exuded an air of nonchalance during the battle classes in the academy. She had been holding back a veritable ocean of power!
As Fu Hua's gaze fell upon the familiar dragon on the screen and her gloved hands, she clenched her fists, only to relax them moments later.
Her eyes, devoid of any trace of joy, were filled with a profound sense of desolation.
She was acutely aware that her current self was incapable of reaching the intensity depicted in the video.
...
As Queen-sama, rejuvenated and brimming with energy, began to stir up an atmosphere of excitement for the impending game, Bella couldn't help but share in the infectious joy.
However, a question nagged at her - why was she the target of the onslaught?
"Ora Ora Ora Ora -" Sirin's laughter filled the room, a merry sound that echoed with her delight. She playfully mimicked the words, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
She hadn't anticipated that this Valkyrie would possess such dexterity, a revelation that she found oddly captivating. It was an addiction she hadn't expected to develop.
Yet, for Bella, who was observing the scene unfold from the sidelines, the situation was far from amusing. She felt a pang of indignation, her sense of justice offended.
"Dragon Dragon is so cute, why must you assault your cute Dragon!" Bella protested, crouching protectively over the horn on her head.
She dramatically declared that she was experiencing a heart attack!
Upon seeing the image of the woman who had struck her in the future, she instinctively stepped aside, yielding the way.
With each relentless punch landing with unerring precision, who wouldn't reel under the onslaught of pain? The frequency of the blows only served to amplify the agony.
What was even more perplexing was her audacity to liken herself to a dish after each hit. She spouted phrases like 'fluorescent candles', 'a slight cold', and 'a weak electric light', assuming they wouldn't comprehend her cryptic language?
Bella found the game planning utterly detestable! She gnawed at the corner of her coat, lost in thought. Yet, paradoxically, she found herself responding to the advertisement to promote this very game.
"Ah, the trials of life," the dragon sighed, a note of resignation in her voice.
Regardless of the circumstances, since Queen-sama had chosen to embrace life in human society, Bella resolved to support herself and Queen-sama. She was determined to prove her worth as a useful dragon.
"Bella, it's alright. It's just a game, after all!" Cecilia reassured her, a comforting smile playing on her lips.
Bella looked up, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She was on the verge of expressing her gratitude when she noticed that Cecilia, too, was engaged in the game, her hand deftly maneuvering the device.
And the target of Cecilia's virtual onslaught was, unsurprisingly, Bella herself. The giant dragon was being pummeled relentlessly, without even managing to graze a corner of Cecilia's clothes. It was a one-sided assault.
"You…" Bella began, her voice choked with indignation. Unable to articulate her feelings, she turned her head away, refusing to witness the spectacle any longer.

Author note:
You know I'm also amazed by the AI's ability, it really helped me make this book update, all I did was write the core of the story and it made the narration from that core, making the writing faster.
Although it felt like 3 times the work, and too much use of uncommon vocabulary, and made me have to re-edit many chapters, re-explain it to AI many times and pay 20 bucks every month.
if you feel there are complicated sentences and teks blame BING and Chatgpt, I tried to make it simple by asking them to rewrite their text but all they did was delete details and add things that don't exist, wasting too much of my time.
I want to rewrite it myself but I'm lazy and have no time hoho
