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

---This level of energy is comparable to that of Fu Hua in the past, suggesting she's a high-ranking member of the Destiny organization. At the very least, she's a high-level combatant.

----Are they testing me? I did notice someone spying on me via a drone, but I didn't pay much attention. I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

Zhongli showed no emotion whatsoever.

He nodded slightly to Rita: "Hello, Valkyrie. I am an assistant invited by Miss Fu Hua."

"helper?"

Rita exclaimed in apparent surprise, extending a slender hand clad in a pure white lace glove and covering her red lips with her fingertips: "What does Lady Fu Hua need to do? Why would she seek help from outside of Schicksal?"

"Is the power of our Destiny insufficient? Is there any force on this entire earth that is more powerful than our Destiny?"

"Yes or no?"

Zhongli remained noncommittal: "From a generally rational perspective, it's normal for you to have doubts when a completely unknown entity suddenly appears at the headquarters of Destiny.

"However, I don't like this kind of mutual probing."

"Well... how about this? I've told you the truth, and whether you believe it or not is up to you to decide."

"The blonde maid with horns on her head and I are both beings from different worlds. We accepted Ms. Fu Hua's invitation to undertake her mission and fight for her."

"To me, I have no likes or dislikes for any organization or individual in this world, so your attempt to probe my attitude is like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree or trying to find a sword by marking the boat."

"What you need to ask is Ms. Fu Hua's opinion."

"Hmm..." Rita narrowed her eyes slightly, wanting to say something, but then she heard Otto's voice coming from her personal terminal.

"Come back, Rita."

"Yes, sir, I understand your opinion." Rita clasped her hands together on her lower abdomen and bowed slightly.

"Well then, Rita will take her leave now. Sir from another world, I hope you have a pleasant time at our Schicksal headquarters, and I hope you also like our dilapidated world."

After saying this, Rita turned around without hesitation, her steps seemingly slow but actually fast, and in no time she was out of Zhongli's sight.

After she left, Zhongli lost interest in exploring the surroundings, because he sensed the death of the dragon Benares in the distant sky, as well as the return of Fu Hua and Thor.

He shook his head slightly, took a few steps to cross the kilometer-long distance, and arrived at the spot where he had been waiting.

With my hands behind my back, I gaze up at the dazzling aurora borealis in the sky, my mind racing.

If he's not mistaken, this world should already be filled with the energy of collapse.

Moreover, Zhongli could sense that a powerful force was being sealed on the moon.

What puzzled him most was that this power, known as "Honkai," gave him an uncomfortable yet somewhat familiar feeling, seemingly not unlike the abyss of the Teyvat world.

Moreover, based on his observations while walking through the spacetime tunnel opened by the chat group system, this world should have grown on that [giant tree] next to the Teyvat world.

"Heh! Interesting. I didn't expect it to be so close."

Zhongli murmured to himself.

And in his pale golden pupils, Thor's enormous wings were revealed.

Thor and Fu Hua have already approached this floating land again.

.....

Helheim Laboratory.

Two hours before the [Honkai] occurred.

Otto fell into deep thought as he stared at the large screen.

"From another world?"

"Accepted Fu Hua's mission??"

---Is this even possible??

Although Otto did know that their world was not the only one, and that countless intelligent life forms also lived within the world bubbles floating in the Sea of ​​Quanta.

But he simply couldn't believe that life from other worlds could so easily come to the world he lived in.

Without the power of the second divine key, [Thousand Worlds One Vehicle], and without Durandal's abilities, their destiny is so limited that they cannot even observe other world bubbles, let alone perform teleportation.

If Fu Hua could truly teleport people between world bubbles, then she wouldn't have been killed so easily back then.

So... even if the other party is being sincere, they are still lying?

After a moment's thought, Otto decided to set aside the other person's misleading words and focus on the meaning behind what the other person said next.

What you need to ask is Ms. Fu Hua's opinion.

This means that whether the two special trump cards Fu Hua brought in this time are enemies depends on Fu Hua's own decision.

---Interesting. Has the Crimson Kite Immortal learned to hold back her trump cards too? After all these years, has she finally mastered this?

---The two people she brought were either a product of bio-technology or their combat abilities were unclear. However, their abilities were at least similar, meaning they were equivalent to two S-rank Valkyries or even Herrschers.

---If the two of them are joined by Fu Hua, then even if K-423 transforms into the Herrscher of the Void, he probably still won't be able to defeat them.

---If Fu Hua knows the whole truth but still tries to stop my experiment....

---I need to make some new preparations.

After considering all these topics, Otto then opened the personal communication channel of Durandal, the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny.

"Hello, is this Durandal?"

"Bishop Otto, what are your orders?" The cool, clear voice of the young girl from Durandal immediately followed.

“I have a new task that I need your help with. How are things on your end?” Otto asked.

“Of course, Archbishop Otto, I am ready,” Durandal replied.

"Okay, keep your personal terminal on at all times and wait for my contact."

After saying this, Otto hung up the communication.

He narrowed his eyes; his long-standing habit of doing things made it impossible for him to ignore what Zhongli was saying.

If Fu Hua truly possesses the ability to move humans within the World Bubble... then the final piece of the puzzle he has been waiting for for so long has finally been completed.

He could not ignore such a possibility.

After thinking it over, he connected to the second terminal.

"Activate Crimson Knight: Eclipse, connect the Valkyrie from the last experiment, and wait for use."

"Yes, ma'am." A cold, mechanical voice came from the other end of the phone.

After doing all that, he turned his attention back to the cylinder in front of him.

Kiana, with her eyes closed, was enduring the baptism of high-concentration Honkai energy in the nutrient solution.

"Increase the Honkai energy concentration." Otto observed for a moment, then quickly ordered his subordinates, "This little bit of Honkai energy won't wake her up."

"We need to be ready with the right timing and location; this experiment cannot afford to fail."

.....

The Honkai Impact occurred one hour ago.

Helios transport ship

[Report: Ground forces have captured the third airport of the Destiny Headquarters.]

[The mech force from Anti-Entropy is currently carrying out a joint mission.]

[Dr. Tesla and Major Himeko request to speak with you.]

Theresa, standing on the bridge, solemnly opened the communication device.

Himeko's voice came at the same time.

What do we need to do now?

"The third airport has been occupied. We are waiting for the two doctors from Anti-Entropy to enter Schicksal's headquarters system to check for anomalies," Theresa said to Himeko, arms crossed.

"I'm here to tell you the results." A fiery voice suddenly interrupted their conversation: "That guy with the messy hair has figured out the enemy's intelligence. Four hours ago, a spaceship entered the Helheim Laboratory. Judging by the timeline, it must be that Kiana."

“Dr. Tesla,” Theresa called out the name of the red-haired girl before her, “Hmm... I’ve already come up with a plan.”

"There's a huge Honkai energy shield around the Helheim Laboratory, and it would take us far too long to break through. So, the fastest plan right now is to split into two groups: one to destroy the large Honkai energy reactors around the Helheim Laboratory, and the other to wait on the Hyperion. Once the Honkai energy reactors are destroyed, the waiting team will pilot the Hyperion into the Helheim Laboratory and rescue Kiana."

"A perfect plan, so who will sabotage those large Honkai energy reactors?" Dr. Tesla, with his arms crossed, said arrogantly.

“I’ll go.” Himeko nodded slightly with a calm expression. “As a member of the Valkyrie Assault Team, I’m sure I can handle this kind of thing.”

“But…” Theresa cried out with a conflicted expression, “Even if we destroy the large Honkai energy reactor, we will no longer have the troops to support you. On the contrary, the Valkyries of Schicksal and support personnel will keep appearing.”

"Don't worry, Theresa." Himeko, carrying her Aurora Slashing Sword, smiled and gave herself a thumbs up. "I'm Himeko Murata, don't you trust me, Theresa?"

“Yes, of course I believe you, but…” Theresa was still hesitating.

"There are no 'buts'," Himeko Murata said decisively. "Do what needs to be done. Don't waste any more time, Theresa."

"Hmm... okay. You have to be careful." Theresa hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Meanwhile, Dr. Tesla, the red-haired girl from Anti-Entropy, looked utterly annoyed: "Stop dawdling, stop dawdling! How are you all supposed to be Valkyries? Just do what you want to do. Don't look like you're going to commit suicide. I hate people like that the most."

"Hey, don't rush me. I've already brought a free mech force and am waiting for you outside the airport. Let's go together."

“Dr. Tesla, we don’t need to go together…” Himeko Murata was still a little surprised by Tesla’s sudden statement and instinctively wanted to refuse.

"My decisions are not open to debate." Tesla flicked her red twin tails and abruptly hung up the call.

Himeko Murata couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had to agree.

The two then met at the outer perimeter of the third airport of the Destiny Headquarters and headed towards the large Honkai energy center.

.....

The Honkai Impact occurred one hour ago.

Zhongli was telling Fu Hua and Thor what had just happened.

The blonde maid Thor clearly had no interest in these matters; although she stood there politely, it was obvious that her mind was elsewhere.

After listening to Zhongli's words, Fu Hua remained silent for a long time.

Then, she turned to Zhong Li and asked, "Mr. Zhong Li, why do you think Rita came to ask about your situation?"

“From a purely rational perspective, he should be worried,” Zhongli said softly. “That bishop named Otto clearly has a very important plan and doesn’t want Miss Thor and me to disturb him, which is why he’s so sensitive to our presence. He even ordered that Valkyrie, who is Rita’s confidante, to come and investigate the situation in such a short time.”
