Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

"Don't get distracted. If you're not feeling well, go and rest."

Her pristine white gown was stained crimson. As an S-rank Valkyrie, she could easily deal with ordinary Honkai Beasts, but even she couldn't withstand the sheer number of them.

After the fight, her clothes were torn in many places, revealing her fair skin.

At this moment, the rampaging Honkai Beasts suddenly quieted down.

Compared to its previous swift movements, it now seems to have reverted to its normal sluggishness, as if the network is malfunctioning.

what happened?

The Valkyries were all puzzled, but pressed their advantage and attacked.

"Mea Yi..."

Theresa looked toward the church and murmured.

Inside the church, Bronya approached Ziyao, who was chatting and drinking tea with Otto.

The Ruler of Domination broke his promise, leaving them in a passive position and completely disrupting their plans.

"Sister Ziyao, what's the next step?"

The situation has reached a stalemate, and Mei is at a complete disadvantage.

Bronya sat on the heavy bunny, ready to go and provide support.

"No rush. Our real enemies are neither Schicksal nor the Herrscher."

"Dr. Ein, how much ammunition do we have left?"

"22%, which is expected to kill 20% of the Honkai Beasts."

In the communicator, Einstein reported the situation truthfully, while there was some strange background noise.

"Very good, turn the guns around and aim at the northern part of Klossten Town."

"Excuse me for interrupting, but there are still residents who haven't been evacuated... No, I understand."

Einstein hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, then seemed to understand something and immediately gave orders to the Titan advance team.

Then artillery fire erupted, and hundreds of missiles rained down on the town.

Those who were still in town watching the spectacle were instantly blown into the air, their buildings shattered by the artillery fire.

"Hmph! Ahh ...

A sharp and mournful cry echoed throughout the town, and the Thousand Laws Herald could no longer hold back.

The burning pain felt like it was burning it all away.

While it was peacefully observing from the sidelines, Ziyao unexpectedly pulled a fast one, forcing it to reveal itself.

In an instant, a huge crater appeared beneath the church, dragging the entire building into the theater.

"Interesting, you have an accomplice."

Otto picked up the teapot and poured Ziyao a cup.

(P.S.: Everyone was gone when I came back from work, *crying*.)

Book 1: Chapter 125 Dominating the Theater, Benares

"Please step back, Herrscher. You shouldn't be here."

A massive lance was planted prominently in the middle of the ground, separating the Herrscher of Dominion from the Herrscher of Void.

The ground slowly sank, gradually being enveloped by another dimension.

Durandal sat atop the church roof and said coldly.

The sixth Divine Key: Black Abyss White Flower.

Annihilation and creation are intertwined, and energy flows endlessly.

The Ruler instinctively felt a sense of dread; its sixth sense told it that the blonde woman before it was dangerous.

Its individual numbers are far less than a thousand; if they all die here, it will be a huge loss.

It looked towards the other end of the church.

Not far away, the Queen awoke from her slumber and continued her battle with Mei, who was forced to retreat.

In the nick of time, Theresa arrived just in time, and the coffin-like cross smashed the entire floorboard, forcing the Queen to retreat.

Once we get to that place...

"You can't leave."

Although Durandal was unaware of the Herrscher of Domination's plans, she could tell that he wanted to join forces with the Herrscher of the Void.

Waving the Black Abyss White Flower, the shockwave overturned a bunch of tables and chairs, creating a trench that blocked the Herrscher of Domination's advance.

"Hehe, do you know how many of us there are? Do you think you can stop us?"

The strange Herrscher doll tilted its head and said in an affected voice.

Dozens of individuals appeared densely around the church, rapidly approaching the queen, intending to seize power.

Ordinary Herrschers can seize power by using their abilities in the theater, but the Herrscher of the Void possesses two abilities, which are far more powerful than the others, so she must make personal contact with them.

"..."

Faced with so many individual Herrschers, Durandal was momentarily at a loss.

Slaughtering fifty pigs would take time no matter how you do it, let alone a Herrscher.

With her extensive combat experience, she calmly analyzed the current situation.

First, the Herrschers of Domination are not strong; when dispersed among individuals, they are even weaker than Honkai Beasts. This can be taken advantage of.

Have it.

She came up with a great idea.

This time, Durandal no longer used the Black Abyss White Flower, but instead drew the Holy Sword from her chest.

Using its properties related to the quantum sea, he swung his sword towards the sky above the church.

"One cut—two cuts!"

Suddenly, a spatial rift was cut open above.

The twisting forces intertwined, forming a vortex that greedily absorbed everything around them.

In the blink of an eye, several Herrschers were sucked into the simulated black hole.

Glass, tables, the priest's treasured photo of a little boy... countless miscellaneous items were continuously sucked away, and dozens of individual Herrschers panicked.

"You bastard, you're cheating!"

"I don't want to die, if you have to die, can you die instead, hehe..."

"Hehe... The Herrscher of the Void, my Herrscher of the Void..."

"..."

Within seconds, half of the Herrschers of Dominion were sucked in.

To combat this force, the Herrschers were forced to unite into a single entity.

"You're so strong, it's disgustingly strong..."

The Herrscher of Domination tilted his head and spoke in a sharp, eerie voice with a slightly affected, strained tone.

The power of the Lawyer is right before her eyes, yet she can't obtain it no matter what she does.

The irritating feeling of being scratched in the dark made it extremely annoyed, and it wished it could kill Durandal who was blocking its way.

Thus, the two sides engaged in another fierce battle.

On the other side...

"Mei, can you still hold on?"

Judas transformed into the shape of a cross and stood in front, counteracting the suction force of the simulated black hole.

Taking advantage of the Queen's distraction, Theresa quickly helped Mei up.

"Cough cough... It's alright, I can still fight."

Kiana... Herrschers, they seemed to be in a lot of pain just now.

Mei noticed the changes in the Queen after being provoked, and there was still hope.

Perhaps with a little more effort, they can awaken their friend.

"Look how badly you're injured. You should rest first. Fu Hua will take care of the Honkai Beasts outside."

Thanks to Fu Hua's help, Theresa was able to find time to enter the Dominion Theater.

The entire church was in ruins, resembling a small boat in a storm.

"Oh? You're her friend?"

After recovering from her headache, the Queen regained her domineering aura.

"Please wake up, Kiana, and... Sirin."

"You are all controlled by the Honkai, yet you believe that destroying everything is your true nature."

Theresa picked up Judas, her gaze resolute.

"I will protect you, protect everyone, please wait a little longer..."

There's still some distance to go.

As long as she can get close enough to unleash the zeroth rated power of Judah's Oath, she can grab the Herrscher of the Void, just like during the Second Honkai Impact.

"A self-righteous little girl. That's how humans are—blind and confident."

"They claim to be righteous, but are actually blind and confused. How pathetic."

After the headache, the Queen became even stronger than before, and her Honkai energy increased exponentially.

The Honkai Beasts outside the church went berserk once again, launching a frenzied attack on the Valkyrie-formed battle line.
