Scarlet Nexus Fusion

Inside the ME company headquarters, the office of the president. Cocolia saw everything through one of the Titan's video feedback and she was speechless.

"Where did this monster come from? Is he just relying on his pure strength to suppress the Titans? If I had known that there was a monster like this, I would have brought a stronger Mecha unit."

Even though she didn't really want to give up right now, Cocolia knew that with the destruction of the Titans, her plan to capture the Third Herrscher has failed. Even if Bronya is currently in Nagazora City, Cocolia didn't think she could face this human.

Yes, human.

Cocolia had thought that the Third Herrscher is the strongest variable, even to the point that some of the Titans transported to Nagazora City had been specially modified to have high resistance to lightning, but she didn't expect that her plan, which she thought was perfect, would fail.

It wasn't Mei, who had turned into a Herrscher, who thwarted her plans, but instead, it was a human that she didn't pay much attention to, moreover, this person is also a male.

As far as Cocolia knows, the number of Men's population is very low. Due to the threat of Honkai Energy, they have a relatively high social status, they are also able to live well and extravagantly and because of that, there shouldn't be a man who would intentionally risk his life fighting Honkai.

Cocolia cursed Kouro in her heart for a moment, then she took a deep breath to calm herself down and contacted Bronya.

The call connected quickly.

"Bronya, are you okay? Where are right now?" Cocolia asked a little anxiously as soon as the call connected.

"[Bronya is fine. Bronya is currently at the outskirts of Nagazora City.]" Bronya replied with her usual emotionless tone.

"Thank Goodness you're okay. But why are you there? No… forget that, fortunately, you are there, otherwise, you might get caught up in real danger when the Herrscher woke up."

"Can you get closer inside, preferably downtown? Right now? The Third Herrscher is present there along with two humans. "

Cocolia then continued, "Honkai Beasts, Zombies and even the aerial battleship Hyperion have arrived there. If there is no unforeseen situation, St. Freya Academy will seize the 3rd Herrscher."

"I hope you can befriend those humans who are with the Herrscher, in order to enter St. Freya Academy."

(E/D: I replaced the "Thank God." With "Thank Goodness." Because in Honkai Impact, God is the Will of Honkai.)

"[Understood, Matushka.]"

At first, Cocolia was still considering her own words because she knew that Bronya didn't like some of her cunning plans, but to her surprise this time, Bronya didn't hesitate and agreed right away.

Cocolia then quickly looked at Bronya on the communication screen. She didn't know if he was hallucinating or not, but she saw Bronya smiling a little just now.

"You… just smiled?" Cocolia asked, bewildered by her action.

"[Yes. Bronya smiled, hoping to follow the Hero who had saved her and wishing to see if he could do more.]"

"He? Could this be the person you are talking about?" Cocolia's tone became a little hard, she quickly sent a photo of Kouro to Bronya. After she saw Kouro's photo, she quickly confirmed it.

The Hero who saved her...

Cocolia close her eyes and though about it carefully. Judging from the last video feedback from the Titan, the Third Herrscher, Raiden Mei, oddly didn't do any destructive actions and just stood beside the human girl and watched the Humanoid Monster(Kouro).

Cocolia first though that Raiden Mei and the fainted human girl had a special relationship.

Now that she thought more about it, in addition to what Bronya just said earlier, maybe the Humanoid Monster (Kouro) made a promise to the Herrscher of Thunder, Mei.

Did that person changed the Herrscher who was originally destined to destroy the world?

But what kind of Hero would make such a risky decision?

With the plan she had in mind, to capture the 3rd Herrscher and continue to collect more Herrscher cores (Gems) to complete the ultimate goal of the plan, then it would really be able to save people… no, it would save all of humanity.

(E/D: For those who don't know/remember. Anti-Entropy though that the Gem Schicksal gave them is the Herrscher core, but in fact, it is only one of the fragments of the 2nd Herrscher's core. I think it's mention in Chapter 3 or 4 of the Game.)

"Bronya, your definition of a Hero seems a bit different."

Cocolia tried to look like a parent who wanted to educate her child, but Bronya shook her head before Cocolia can even speak.

"[The number of casualties in Nagazora City is much lower than the previous large-scale Honkai Eruption, not because the Honkai has been suppressed by the Honkai Energy stabilizing device, but because he blocked the Honkai Beast from passing the fort in the suburban area of Nagazora City, he is a Hero.]"

Since the appearance of the Humanoid Monster (Kouro), everything has deviated from her plans.

The plan to capture the 3rd Herrscher had failed and her well-behaved daughter became like a rebellious child who would always deny what she said.

Cocolia's face darkened.

"What's that man's name?"

"[Kouro... Hanagami Kouro.]"

"Fine, I'll remember that. I'll keep it deep inside my heart."

(E/D: I don't know if anyone noticed, but… the way she said that is kinda misleading.)

Meanwhile, inside the Hyperion, Major Himeko is frowning as she looked at the video the observer had displayed on the virtual screen.

"Why did Kiana pass out next to Herrscher?"

Her subordinates that are gathered on the side looked at each other in dismay, they didn't know the exact answer and could only provide all the information they had gathered.

"The data shows that the white-haired girl didn't experience anything life-threatening, she is only unconscious temporarily. "

"Then for the black-haired girl beside her, she has a very high concentration of Honkai energy. So it can be determined that the current large-scale Honkai eruption has given birth to the 3rd Herrscher."

Looking at the new Herrscher and the unconscious Kiana, as well a Kouro, who is displaying his overwhelming combat ability. He single-handedly annihilated all the Honkai Beast and Anti-Entropy's Titan's and is now currently cleaning up the rest of the Zombies.

Major Himeko felt that everything she witnessed had been beyond her imagination.

To be honest, if it weren't for the observational data, Himeko felt that Kouro was the Herrscher who was born in the current Honkai Eruption.

His invincible figure even gave her the chills, although A-rank and S-rank Valkyries could also do that too, but they rely more on weapons and flexible movements where they always aim for the weak points.

Also, as a Greatsword wielder as well, Himeko knew very well what amount of physical strength was required to wield a Greatsword like Kouro to demonstrate the level of dominance of that battle.

Kouro wasn't even wearing a battlesuit that increases one's physical abilities.

Could it be that this person is also related to Principal Theresa by blood? They were all humanoid monsters with outrageous strength.

Major Himeko heaved a sigh of relief, although the current situation is a bit strange, it was much better that what she expected.

She was ready to risk her life to at least be able to hold off the 3rd Herrscher.

Just in case, Himeko was still wearing her Battlesuit (Nexus Fusion) and jumped down from Hyperion, which was hundred of meters up in the sky, and landed on the ground.
