I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

Then he stated his purpose for coming directly.

"Please return to base, Ms. Himeko and Principal Theresa."

"You've only gone this far; it doesn't count as betraying destiny."

“Bishop Otto certainly doesn’t want to go to war with his beloved granddaughter.”

"oh??!!"

Himeko Murata responded with a noncommittal response.

Chapter 9 Himeko: Kiana, I'm here

"Return?" Himeko sneered.

"Ha! You want us to abandon Kiana and go back??"

"Yes, this is the wisest decision." Fu Hua's voice was calm and indifferent.

"Your strength is needed to defeat the Honkai, not to be wasted here."

"The struggle between humans will only make the Honkai more rampant."

“But that’s no reason for Kiana to sacrifice herself.” Himeko’s expression also turned cold: “Fu Hua, since you’re her class monitor, you should know what a lovely person Kiana is.”

"She brought sunshine and laughter to this gloomy world."

“But she is not the real Kiana Kaslana.” Fu Hua shook her head slightly: “She is just an experimental subject K-423 with the Herrscher Gem and the bloodline of the Kaslana family. Compared to Kiana, she is more like the Second Herrscher Sirin.”

"Although I also feel very sorry, but..."

Fu Hua was silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, she raised her head.

"However... no one can guarantee when the power belonging to the Second Herrscher within her body will take over her body, devour her consciousness, awaken again, and trigger the Honkai."

"Sacrifice is necessary for the sake of this world and for those we protect."

"Get lost!"

Himeko roared angrily, "Fu Hua!!"

“I’ll tell you.”

"Kiana is not Otto's experimental subject K-423, nor is she the Second Herrscher Sirin. She is simply a somewhat silly, cheerful, and optimistic Kiana Kaslana who always has a silly smile on her face."

"Everything she experienced was real, her feelings were not data from a laboratory, and her memories with us are treasures worth cherishing for a lifetime!"

“I will not allow Otto to play with her as he pleases, nor will I allow you to treat her as a disposable sacrifice.”

"The most terrifying thing in this world is not death, but your complacency with sacrifice and death!!"

Fu Hua remained silent for a long while, then sighed softly.

"I'm sorry, Himeko... teacher."

"Further words are useless." Himeko brandished her longsword, aiming it at Fu Hua before her.

Boom!

Just as the two of them got into fighting stances, ready to fight to the death, a huge sound suddenly rang out from the sky.

The wrecked body of the dragon Benares, accompanied by mournful cries, slammed heavily onto the deck of the transport ship.

The immense force caused the entire deck to shake violently in an instant.

Then came a scorching breath of fire.

The blazing white flames, almost equivalent to a stream of high-temperature particles, pierced through the body of the dragon Benares and swept away its remaining two wings.

The owner of this flame-breathing creature demonstrated exceptional control over her power.

The dragon Benares was merely scorched, without damaging the deck at all.

Then, the sound of a howling storm came from the sky.

Himeko and Fu Hua both looked up.

Then, high in the sky, amidst the sun-obscuring dragon wings, the image of a small, blonde maid was clearly visible.

"I'm starting to eat."

Thor's mouth split open, revealing serrated predator teeth.

Then her body suddenly dropped, and the speed of gravity, combined with the force she exerted, quickly pushed her falling speed above the speed of sound, and a powerful sonic boom cloud appeared beneath her feet.

Boom!

In less than a few seconds, Thor traversed a distance of over a kilometer and fell from the sky onto the head of the dragon Benares.

Click!

How could the dragon Benares possibly withstand such immense power? Its head shattered instantly.

A glimmer of light appeared from its brain matter.

"The second best thing."

Thor reacted swiftly, biting the radiance into his mouth with a deft bite, then crunching it up twice before swallowing it whole.

But this is not the end.

The petite blonde maid opened her small mouth.

In a way that defies common sense, it aimed at the body of the dragon Benares and began to bite and gnaw fiercely.

A few minutes later, amidst the wreckage, the dragon Benares let out a mournful wail. Its four hearts were quickly bitten out, turning into specks of Honkai energy, which Thor chewed up and swallowed.

Several minutes later, Thor finally raised his head, his eyes gleaming with a pale blue light, staring at Fu Hua and Himeko who were facing off.

A kind and innocent smile appeared on his lips.

Benares, the dragon, lay at her feet, dismembered into countless pieces.

Its fragments are slowly turning into pure Honkai energy, flowing into this world.

Fu Hua stared at Thor for a few seconds, then opened her communicator and began reporting to the Valkyrie command center.

"The Judgment-class Honkai Beast, the Demon Dragon Benares, has been completely annihilated. Requesting further instructions."

The dispatch center seemed momentarily stunned by Fu Hua's swift end to the battle.

A reply came a few seconds later.

"Confirmed that the Honkai energy wavelength of the Demon Dragon Benares has disappeared. Valkyrie Fu Hua has completed her mission."

"Received next command..."

"Completed..."

"Bishop Otto orders: Valkyrie Fu Hua to return to Schicksal headquarters and begin cooperating with the Valkyrie squad to eliminate the Honkai Beasts."

"Confirmed, orders received." Fu Hua silently put away his personal terminal, gave Himeko a deep look, but ultimately did not make a move.

She waved to Thor beside her: "Let's go, Miss Thor, we have other things to do."

"Mmm." Thor nodded cheerfully. "Perfect, I'm full too."

"Let's go, Mr. Zhongli must be getting impatient."

After finishing this conversation, Thor spread his wings, and the tail fins of Fu Hua's Valkyrie armor emitted streams of light as he quickly left the transport ship's deck.

A few seconds later, it disappeared without a trace.

Himeko, standing on the deck, watched the two leave and sighed softly.

Theresa.

She called out her friend's name.

"What's wrong? Himeko, are you feeling unwell?" The headmistress on the other end of the communication channel replied anxiously.

"It's alright, I can hold on." Himeko shook her head. "Tell me, did I get let off the hook just now?"

"By those two little girls?"

“There’s no need to worry about these things now,” Theresa said, not giving a direct answer to the question.

"What we need to do is, of course, save Kiana. If Fu Hua is willing to go easy on us, then we don't need to get entangled with her."

"This one too."

Himeko looked up at the massive Schicksal headquarters that was gradually approaching, a smile playing on her lips.

Kiana, I'm here.

"We've come to rescue you!"

Chapter 10: Countdown to the Arrival of the Collapse

Let's go back in time a little.

Two hours before the [Honkai] occurred.

After Fu Hua and Thor left one after another, Zhong Li thought it would be a waste of time to stand still and wait, so he tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes and threw it on the ground.

The moment the piece of cloth touched the steel floor, it transformed into a wondrous sign.

Several large characters were written on it.

I wander around aimlessly. If you need anything, just knock down the sign and I'll appear.

After doing all this, Zhongli stood up and walked to the side.

He had only been gone for half an hour, and was looking around a garden when...

A figure walked out confidently from the front.

The newcomer was dressed in a strange maid outfit, with equally strange cow horn hair clips tied in her hair.

The young woman slowly approached Zhong Li and bowed slightly: "Hello, sir... I am Rita Losweisse, a Valkyrie of the Destiny S Rank. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh?" Zhongli became interested.

Compared to the dark energy within Fu Hua's body, he could sense that within the girl before him, a terrifying energy called Honkai was reverberating.
