People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

The opponent successfully held off the Herrscher of the Void, giving the people of St. Freya Academy and Anti-Entropy a chance to escape.

However, Fu Hua herself was no match for the Herrscher of the Void. Just as Sakura was pondering whether she should go up and help save her old comrade's life, Otto suddenly appeared and rescued Fu Hua from the Herrscher's clutches.

Sakura has always been relatively calm about this Bishop of Destiny. She doesn't care what kind of person the leader of this era is, nor does she care what his purpose is.

After all, she has always been just a soldier; she never cares about the leader's thoughts or thinks from the leader's perspective.

However, even Sakura did not expect that Otto, the current civilization's Bishop of Destiny, was a person who was far more insane than she had imagined.

The other party manipulated everything, and their ultimate goal was to create a Herrscher with emotions by using human lives.

This is clearly a bit too outrageous.

Of course, in a previous civilization, there would have been many people far more insane than Bishop Otto of Destiny, and the mortality rate from all sorts of human and biological experiments would have exceeded people's imagination.

Even the earliest Fusion Warrior program that the heroes participated in was a terrifying experiment with a mortality rate as high as 90%, and the number of deaths during the process was beyond imagination.

The only thing that terrified Sakura was that Otto's experiment had no regard for the consequences.

Using emotions to suppress the Herrscher is an experiment with uncontrollable risks that are beyond imagination. No one knows whether this will further stimulate the Herrscher's emotions and lead to even more terrifying events.

At least Sakura didn't think Otto's plan was perfect enough, nor did she think that the consequences of such an approach would be acceptable to people...

"puff!"

Now, having forced Otto back with a single sword strike and saved Fu Hua, Sakura looked coldly at the Archbishop of Destiny in front of her, and the thought of completely eliminating him took root in her mind.

Not only can it conceal its own existence, but it can also eliminate a dangerous menace; this is undoubtedly a very good idea...

However, Otto seemed to sense Sakura's killing intent first.

He had recovered from the shock of seeing the pink-haired fox for the first time and realized that the Sakura in front of him was not the same person as the Yae Sakura in his memory.

Whether it's personality, appearance, or even some kind of essential aura, they can be said to be completely different.

Otto then realized that his plan had been flawed from the very beginning, and that some hidden force had begun to move and influence everything.

"Can I ask you a question...?"

Otto spoke slowly, his intention undoubtedly being to buy time.

But as the strongest assassin of the previous civilization and one of the most elite members of the Poison Chrysalis, how could Sakura give the other party any time to react after making her decision?

"Pfft——!"

Almost before Otto could react, Sakura's blade had already torn open his neck, and a red line of blood appeared in the air, blooming in a bright crimson!

"Snapped!"

Sakura frowned slightly as she looked at Otto's body lying on the ground.

Her killer instincts told her that things weren't as simple as they seemed, and that she might not have actually killed the chosen bishop.

But she had no time to waste.

After setting down Fu Hua, Sakura slowly spoke:

"You rest here. As for those children, I will protect them."

"you……"

Upon hearing Sakura's words, Fu Hua's eyes were instantly filled with an incredibly strong impression. At this moment, certain long-buried memories burst forth like a flood with its valves unleashed!

Before she could recall anything, Sakura's figure had already vanished from the spot, rushing towards the distant battlefield at an extremely fast speed.

……

Above Destiny, aboard the Hyperion.

"We are 4 kilometers away from the coordinates sent by Dr. Tesla. There are no abnormalities nearby."

Bronya began to speak slowly, giving her description.

"Received. Begin deceleration and prepare to pick up Tesla and the others." Einstein, a high-ranking member of Anti-Entropy, spoke slowly. "All squads, remain vigilant. The Herrschers may launch an attack through the Imaginary Space at any time."

"Doctor, what's the condition of the wounded..." Bronya couldn't help but ask.

"...The situation is not optimistic." Einstein shook his head. "Ms. Theresa's injuries are barely under control, but she will need a long time to recover. As for Mei... when the Herrscher took the Conquest Gem, she injured her heart. Her vital signs are rapidly declining, and she needs immediate heart surgery. Himeko's condition is also very bad. She was already in a high-risk state of Honkai energy corruption, and this battle has drastically increased the burden on her body, putting her life in grave danger—"

"This……"

Bronya's expression froze as she realized that after her brain chip had been burned out and she had finally recovered, she had suddenly become the healthiest person present.

She immediately asked, "Does the Hyperion have facilities for treatment? Will Mei be alright...?"

"Hard to say."

Einstein sighed. "While the Hyperion has decent treatment rooms, the warship doesn't have enough skilled doctors. Theresa's simple injuries can be treated with medication and repair equipment, but Raiden Mei's body needs surgery as soon as possible!!"

"This……"

Einstein's words caused Bronya to look confused. She wished she were a doctor and had the ability to heal Raiden Mei.

doctor……

She suddenly recalled the man she had met during her most dangerous time.

The other person healed her when she was in dire straits and saved Changkong City from destruction.

"If that doctor were here..."

Bronya's mind instinctively conjured up such fantasies.

She couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

however--

"Beep beep beep beep beep—!"

Suddenly, alarming alarms blared rapidly aboard the Hyperion.

"Radar has detected a large number of Honkai Beasts invading the warship!"

Upon hearing this sound, Bronya and Einstein's expressions immediately became chaotic. They left the bridge of the warship and went to the deck.

At some point, this place was surrounded by a large number of Honkai Beasts.

Bronya immediately prepared to fight, but felt that she could not hold on at all and was quickly repelled by the endless Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors!

"Ruined……"

In despair, Bronya slowly closed her eyes.

Just as she awaited death, in the instant everything fell into silence—

"Kacha!"

Suddenly, a crisp, ringing sound, like a bullet being chambered, pierced her eardrums, and the world in Bronya's eyes began to spin.

Her body was propelled by inertia, rolling several times on the ground before slowly coming to a stop.

“What… happened…” Bronya murmured in confusion, “Was the Hyperion… forced to land?”

Gradually, her vision began to return, and a faint glimmer of light appeared in the darkness.

"No, I have to... go back right away..."

Muttering to herself, Bronya's world began to brighten.

Then she saw it.

Countless blades danced in the air!

"Kacha!"

A woman with long, cherry-red hair, wielding an incredibly sharp blade, moved like a phantom, constantly darting through the air—

With each strike of her blade, countless Honkai Beasts fell to the ground in her hands!

"You are……"

Bronya looked at Sakura in front of her and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Sakura, however, didn't even glance at her and calmly said, "Leave here, child. I'll handle the Honkai Beasts here."

"This……"

Sakura's words were so calm, and at the same time, the blade in her hand flashed through the air without any hesitation!

"Pfft!"

With each sword strike, all the decaying debris was gradually destroyed in the girl's hands, turning into fragments.

—Like drifting debris!

Bronya had never seen such an amazing battle before; it was like a dreamlike scene that only existed in dreams, happening in reality!

However, the number of Honkai did not decrease with Sakura's killing spree; on the contrary, it continued to increase.

Even Sakura can no longer kill all the Honkai Beasts instantly; she can only clear them out little by little.

Meanwhile, Bronya realized she could no longer stay there and become a burden, so she had to return to the bridge of the Hyperion.

“The spatial curvature fluctuations are abnormal; I have never seen such a high concentration of Honkai energy.”

Dr. Tesla, who had just returned to the Hyperion, spoke to himself, "The number of enemies is still increasing. What's going on? Even if they are Herrschers, this is too much of a cheat!"

"It's alright, that young lady has already stopped all the Honkai Beasts," Bronya said immediately. "Can the Hyperion still be started?"

"The port side armor has detached, the engine room suffered a frontal impact, and the shock absorption system is also damaged." Tesla shook his head. "Restoring navigation will take time, at the current conversion power—"

"How long exactly?" Bronya couldn't help but ask.

"Three minutes, it will be able to restart in three minutes."

Einstein, who was standing nearby, was the first to calculate it.

Bronya breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving this answer. With Sakura's strength, holding off these Honkai Beasts for three minutes shouldn't be a problem.

She then turned and went inside the cabin to check on Theresa's wounded.

Upon entering the treatment chamber, Bronya immediately spotted Himeko Murata, who was severely injured but still stubbornly trying to stand up.

Compared to Theresa and Raiden Mei, who were completely injured, Himeko Murata was only severely corroded by Honkai energy and was still able to hold on thanks to her strong willpower.

However, it is obvious that if Himeko continues to push herself like this, her body will break down soon.

"Teacher Jizi..."
