Chapter 90: The Fluffy Tuna Bug Cat's Fur Standing on End

Chaos erupted!

Alarms echoed throughout the Schicksal Headquarters, and countless Valkyries were fully prepared for the upcoming battle.

The aerial warships had already begun to depart, and Theresa also heard the news, asked Otto about the situation, afraid that another major Honkai was happening.

Otto's reply was that it was just a minor Honkai outbreak, a common occurrence in Siberia.

Well, a minor Honkai outbreak was like rain; whether it happened depended entirely on the mood of the heavens.

So after hearing Otto's perfunctory response, Theresa retreated back into the St. Freya Academy to focus on developing her school.

After so many years, the first batch of Valkyries was about to graduate, and Miss Theresa just hoped that the Valkyries coming out of her school could slightly change the atmosphere within Schicksal.

At least to be a bit more normal than the ones in HQ.

However, although according to the intensity classification of the Honkai, it was indeed a minor one, the sudden increase in Honkai energy density afterward, like a nuclear bomb detonating, immediately caught Otto's attention.

"Overseer, fluctuations of the Herrscher have been observed, and they are extremely similar to the Second Herrscher!"

"Hehehe, good. Order the Assault Team to hold their positions for now, send reinforcements, and continue to observe the actions of the Second Herrscher."

"Just observation?"

Amber knew that the Second Eruption had caused immense damage to human civilization, to Schicksal, and even to Anti Entropy.

And now, with the Second Herrscher resurrected again, all of this was within Otto's plan.

However, Amber wanted to know Otto's attitude toward the Second Herrscher.

"Even if she's revived, without sufficient Honkai energy, the combat power of the Second Herrscher remains limited, so there's no need to worry. If she still holds resentment towards humanity... hehehe, then my experiment has truly succeeded."

Indeed, souls could exist, and within the imaginary energy of the Imaginary Tree, there was indeed such a possibility.

Although Haxxor Bunny provided a lot of information, these things needed to be verified slowly.

And now, the plan for the revival of the Second Herrscher would definitely undergo some minor changes, and maybe in the future, another Herrscher fighting for humanity would emerge.

Amber didn't ask any further. If she kept asking, Otto might suddenly become unhappy and use Fenghuang Down to erase her memory.

There was no way around it; she was just a pitiful, weak clone. What Bishop Otto needed was loyalty. Revealing too much of her own opinions and views could upset Otto.

Actually, being alive was already quite good.

...

Bandages always wrapped around Kiana's head.

Not because Kiana's brain couldn't heal, or because she had some untreatable injury.

It was to cover her other eye.

White hair, blue eyes, these were the characteristics of the Kaslana family.

But the other golden eye, identical to the former Sirin's, Siegfried's reminder of the terrible past like a nightmare every time he saw Kiana.

And today was no exception.

Siegfried, as usual, went out to deal with Honkai Beasts.

Who knew why a Emperor-level Honkai Beast suddenly appeared, along with a Templar-level Honkai Beast?

The Emperor-level Honkai Beast was difficult to deal with even using Judgement of Shamash, and the remaining Honkai Beast was originally planned to be dealt with after a rest.

Otherwise, Kiana would worry if she saw Siegfried coming back all injured.

But what happened?

They came back a bit late, and Kiana, worried, came looking for him, only to encounter a Templar-level Honkai Beast!

That was a Honkai Beast that even an entire team of Valkyries would struggle with, and how could a child possibly deal with it?

In a critical moment, Siegfried used the forbidden power hidden within him for Kiana's sake.

Everything was worth it for his child.

But his terrifying appearance, his injuries, stimulated Kiana's unstable factor within her, which finally erupted!

"Oh no!"

As Honkai energy erupted, his ICHOR within him began to devour the Honkai energy around him and he began to transform into the appearance of a Honkai Beast.

Siegfried crawled away from Kiana, and by now, Kiana's once azure eyes had turned golden.

"I just got back, why do I see you in such a sorry state, Siegfried?"

"Bronie? Be careful, it's very dangerous here! Get away!"

Instinctively, Siegfried told Bronie to leave, but the empty head of the Kaslana family hadn't figured out why she happened to come here at this time.

But a blue drone suddenly appeared in front of Siegfried.

The drone extended its mechanical claw and firmly grasped Siegfried's shoulder, then promptly carried Siegfried away from Kiana's side.

"Wait, Kiana is still there!"

"You're suicidal! It's so dangerous there. If you get close, you'll be dead!"

By now, the Herrscher of the Void had slowly risen, the bandages on her head falling off, revealing her golden pupils, like a queen descending.

But this queen looked a bit too young.

The Subspace Lance gradually took shape, floating beside Void, who also flew up, looking at Siegfried with eyes full of hatred, as if he were her mortal enemy.

"Who are you? What's your intention in approaching us!?"

Siegfried finally realized.

This Bronie, she definitely wasn't just an ordinary citizen. Meeting him was premeditated.

"Is it the time to say these things now, Herrscher of the Void! Isn't it tiring to fly so high? It's windy up there!"

Bronie called out to Herrscher of the Void, who also turned her gaze to Bronie.

With her hands outstretched, indicating that she had no weapons.

"Do you still remember me?"

"Deceiver..."

"What?"

"Hypocritical humans! Using lies to get close to me!"

"Come on, what benefit would I gain from deceiving you? You..."

Unexpectedly, The Herrscher didn't say another word and directly stabbed with the Subspace Lance. Bronie quickly dodged, and when she looked at Herrscher of the Void again, there seemed to be only killing intent in her eyes.

"All humans should die!"

"Is this your plan, Bronie, to witness the birth of the Herrscher?"

Cioara couldn't help but comment. No matter how she looked at the Herrscher before her, she didn't seem like someone who could communicate properly. Her hostility towards humans was too high.

This was the Second Herrscher, the same one who had almost turned the entire Siberia into a wasteland, wasn't it?

"Let's not rush. Why do you think all humans should die? You'd better tell me."

Bronie's response was silence and an attack. The drones formed a shield, blocking the Subspace Lance. This surprised Herrscher of the Void for a moment.

"Hey, essentially, you're still a willful child, aren't you? Do you still have morning grumpiness after waking up? But it's okay, I'll play with you properly. But if you vent your anger recklessly, you won't look pretty~!"

The Subspace Lance, which was originally unstoppable, was unexpectedly blocked by this drone.

Now the Herrscher of the Void had to take it seriously.

Anyone who obstructed her from eliminating humanity was an enemy!

Herrscher of the Void raised her hand and snapped her fingers lightly.

At the same time, Bronie, as if in sync, snapped her fingers.

Immediately next to Bronie, a motorcycle appeared from parts to its shell.

"Is this... Welt's?"

Seeing this operation, Siegfried was extremely familiar with it. Wasn't this Welt's masterpiece?

Welt was also involved?

So Bronie was affiliated with Anti Entropy?

Watching Bronie gracefully ride the motorcycle, surrounded by countless drones, starting to attack Herrscher of the Void, Siegfried's first reaction was actually not wanting Kiana to get hurt.

But his keen dynamic vision allowed Siegfried to see that what the drones were shooting out were actually syringes.

Well, that's alright then.

Is this tranquilizer really capable of controlling Herrscher of the Void?

Herrscher of the Void could skillfully use spatial powers to create an imaginary barrier that isolated external space. Even anesthesia bullets might not be able to penetrate this imaginary barrier, let alone current powerful weapons of Schicksal.

Of course, elite Valkyries might have a way.

But Bronie's counterattack was all about creating an atmosphere.

After all, a battle needed to have both offense and defense to be more interesting.

And after the counterattack, Herrscher of the Void's attention was indeed focused on Bronie, not on Siegfried.

But Siegfried was anxious.

Do you know who the opponent is?

That's a Herrscher, a special individual created by the Honkai, each of whom may have the power to destroy entire civilizations.

If she isn't dealt with as soon as possible...

Just as Siegfried was about to use the Judgement of Shamash in his hand to launch a combination attack and then unleash a powerful assault, he was stopped by Cioara.

"Although I know you're anxious, do you want to kill your daughter and Bronie?"

Cioara knew about the Judgement of Shamash.

In the Elysian Realm, Kevin wielded this greatsword, and every attack was a ranged attack, which really wore her out.

Fortunately, Kevin wasn't fighting seriously, otherwise, who knows how long she could hold on.

"So... let's just watch for now. I feel that Bronie probably has her own ideas, and she doesn't seem hostile toward that Herrscher?"

Siegfried also fell silent for a long time.

On one hand, there was Kiana, who had accompanied him for several years, and whom he sincerely regarded as his daughter.

On the other hand, there was the Second Herrscher, Sirin, who could potentially endanger human civilization at any time. He was familiar with those eyes, which looked down on everything like ants, filled with endless fury beneath the calm expression. That was the Herrscher Sirin, driven mad by destiny's experiments, forever harboring hatred towards humanity!

Bronie's motorcycle sped quickly, leaving a long trail on the snow-covered road.

Herrscher of the Void followed that trail, gradually disappearing into the snowy wilderness. Only a slight stinging sensation on her skin told Siegfried that the concentration of Honkai energy around them had become too high for human habitation.

Was the battle intense? No, Herrscher of the Void had just awakened, and the Honkai energy she had gained wasn't too much. Furthermore, the more she fought, the more physical strength and Honkai energy she consumed, making her more vulnerable afterward.

Bronie's attacks appeared harmless, but could Herrscher of the Void really bet that they wouldn't hurt her?

She dared not.

So every time she constructed an imaginary barrier, she did so with great seriousness. The drones floating around constantly launched surprise attacks from blind spots in her field of vision. Bronie's fighting style was despicable to the point that the Herrscher was getting impatient.

"You, do you only know how to run away?"

"Oh? Finally not shy anymore? After all, if I get hit, my life will be over. There are so many interesting things and beautiful things in the world. It's worth seeing them all, isn't it?"

It turns out that feeling wasn't a misconception. Bronie controlled her speed to create an illusion that each of her attacks could hit, aiming to communicate with Herrscher of the Void.

"Human, sweet words have no effect on me. For you, the only beauty is dying less painfully. Give up struggling!"

"You're not cute at all. Although your dignity is somewhat adorable, I still prefer your carefree appearance."

"Haha! That's just the ignorance of being deceived and blinded. I will destroy everything, leaving nothing behind!"

Then Herrscher of the Void's gaze was drawn to something else. It wasn't the hidden drones, nor the rubber bullets fired by the drones, nor even syringes. It was the Valkyrie's fighter jet.

"Hehe, you self-proclaimed righteous ants. How about this? I can't catch you, but can they? Take off your hypocritical mask. Every time I see your smiling face, I feel like vomiting!"

"If you say that to me, I'll get a little temper too! It's okay to vent a little. I can understand the desire for revenge, but if you vent your anger on innocent people, how are you any different from the perpetrators of those Babylon Labs?"

With a turn of the motorcycle's head, this time Bronie aimed for Herrscher of the Void in the sky.

"Stop sweet-talking me, humans like you are not good people!"

Seeing Bronie turn the motorcycle's head, it was certain that her threat was effective! Herrscher of the Void wanted to see how long Bronie could keep up the act. With a smiling face, completely disregarding her, she even thought it was a joke!

Was this a joke? Of course not!

The Subspace Lance, like a certain Kings's attack, condensed beside Herrscher of the Void, aiming at the Valkyrie's fighter jet with the insignia of Schicksal, about to launch an attack.

But just as Herrscher of the Void's attack was about to arrive, the fighter jet made an emergency evasive maneuver, and another attack accurately intercepted the Subspace Lance, perfectly blocking Herrscher of the Void's attack!

There was no way around it; Herrscher of the Void currently only had one Herscher Core, and she had just awakened.

It was so unlike in the Final Lesson where she got the necessary Honkai Energy and Double Gems of Conquest and Serenity.

The limit of her strength was there.

But was the Subspace Lance so easily intercepted?

If it were so easy to intercept, Schicksal wouldn't have suffered a loss in Sirin's hands.

So Herrscher of the Void was very surprised. No, there was also a bit of fear.

"What an unlovable child you are. You've just been reborn, just made a wish to have a warm home. Why ruin it all with your own hands? Disobedient children need to be spanked, so I'm going to spank you now."

Something was wrong, very wrong. At this moment, Herrscher of the Void was like a fluffy little cat, looking alertly at Bronie.

Watching the motorcycle gradually approaching, Herrscher of the Void hurriedly activated all the power within her body.

"Don't come near me, you ant!"

The last word, ant, was her last stubbornness to maintain her queenly demeanor. But in reality, she was already panicking.

Unfortunately, in the brief contact just now, Herrscher of the Void realized something very bad.

That is, her strength might really be no match for Bronie's!
