My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

I certainly can't appear on stage myself, so I need a spokesperson.

While thinking about Xia Qing, he turned his gaze to one of the members of the Snow Wolf Squad.

"Cough...cough, it's too much for us to deal with this kind of enemy."

Shi Yu Qiluo, a member of the Snow Wolf Squad, coughed up a mouthful of blood as her vision began to blur.

Of all the members of the Snow Wolf Squad present, only Cheng Lixue and Shiyu Qiluo are still capable of fighting; the others have already fainted due to their severe injuries.

Shigure Kira felt that he couldn't hold on much longer; his body was telling him that he was about to reach his limit.

Their attacks were completely useless against Sirin, and even as a member of Schicksal's strongest squad, she felt despair.

Breathing heavily with tension, she leaped high to attack Sirin again, but instead fell straight down.

Is this the end...?

Her body could no longer support the battle. Lying on the snow, looking up at Sirin Shigure Kira in the sky, she thought to herself.

Then at that moment, Shigure Kira's expression was somewhat puzzled. She saw that the scenery in front of her seemed to have changed, and she seemed to see flames suddenly igniting in the air.

A blurry figure was staring at her from within the flames. Shigure Kira wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't make a sound at all.

Her body had reached its limit, and she was no longer thinking. She slowly closed her eyes, and at that moment, a voice rang out:

"Shiyu Qiluo, open your eyes, I am Hei Xixia."

The figure within the flames spoke, and at that moment, Shigure Kira suddenly felt a surge of power welling up in her heart.

The flames were a visual illusion created by Xia Qing using mind control. Xia Qing didn't need to conjure flames out of thin air; he only needed to make Shi Yu Qi Luo believe that there were flames.

"This is the Crimson King. With it, you can defeat the Herrscher of the Void."

Xia Qing, using the pseudonym Black Hero, said that the claim of being able to defeat the Herrscher of the Void was actually made up by himself. According to the system's assessment, the Diablo character card was only a Radiant Silver that surpassed the limits of humanity.

The Silver-rank character card, when activated in dynamic mode, is roughly equivalent to an S-rank Valkyrie in the Honkai world, but still cannot rival the Herrscher of the Void.

However, while he couldn't beat Sirin in her prime, he could definitely manage to exchange a few blows with Sirin in her current state and survive.

If the plot is correct, Sirin should be injured now. Before encountering the Snow Wolf Squad, Sirin fought against Theresa and Welt Yang, the leader of Anti-Entropy.

Although Theresa didn't play a significant role in the previous battle, Anti-Entropy did injure Sirin.

First, they were trapped by Walter Yang's abilities, and then they were directly hit by an atomic bomb.

After glancing at Xilin Xiaqing, who had narrowly escaped from the simulated black hole, she began to consider what to do if Shiyu Qiluo couldn't defeat her.

After lending the power of the Crimson King to Shigure Kira through the character card's ability sharing feature, Xia Qing hid aside to watch the show. Xia Qing also knew that compared to Shigure Kira, her own combat experience was too weak.

Choosing to let Shigure Kira do the work, Shigure Kira certainly did not disappoint.

Under psychological manipulation and guidance, Shigure Kira, who had unleashed her physical potential, stood up again. Shirin looked at Shigure Kira standing up with a somewhat surprised expression.

"Human, I never expected you could still do that."

Before Xilin could finish speaking, Shigure Kira, who had quickly assessed the situation, had already devised a countermeasure.

"epitaph!"

"King Crimson!"

The moment she gained temporary control of this power, Shigure Kira understood its purpose. With her rich combat experience, Shigure Kira knew what the best course of action was.

Having foreseen the future, Shigure Kira chose to erase time.

In the space where time was deleted, Shigure Kira shared the right to move freely within the Crimson King with Cheng Lixue.

Shigure Kira, who possesses second-level permissions, is not yet able to directly share the ability to delete time.

Seeing that Cheng Lixue was still in a daze, Shi Yuqiluo quickly said, "Move them to a safe place quickly. I can't stay for long. I'll explain later."

Cheng Lixue, who was free to move around, didn't ask any further questions after hearing this, as she trusted everyone in the Snow Wolf Squad.

Time passed again, and Sirin, high in the sky, was still unaware of what had happened.

“Stand up, your will is indeed... wait, what's with this mess all over the place?”

Sirin was stunned to see a bunch of Void Spears suddenly appear below her.

When did I make my move? How come I didn't know?

No one answered the bewildered Xilin, who began to wonder if something was wrong with her brain, or if she had developed amnesia.

Chapter 65: The Snow Wolf Squad Returns to Headquarters.

"That accuracy..."

Looking at her sunset-red fate, Xilin's expression was somewhat subtle. Although she didn't know what had just happened, one thing was certain: she had lost a period of her memory.

During this period, I should have fought with Otto's henchmen. The opposing Snow Wolf Squad now only has three members left on the field; the others have all disappeared without a trace.

With a tentative thought in mind, Sirin summoned dozens of Void Spears from the void and stabbed directly at Shigure Kira.

As the Void Spear hurtled toward her, Shigure Kira activated her epitaph once more, and information about the future appeared before her eyes.

"It seems like this is the best course of action from now on."

After saying that, Shigure Kira deleted the time and ignored the attack of the Void Spear.

After granting Cheng Lixue and the last injured Nicholas the ability to move freely, the two carried Nicholas and quickly fled the scene.

Xia Qing wasn't surprised by Shi Yu Qi Luo's actions; it was indeed one of the best solutions from their perspective.

The time erasure was terminated once again. The Valkyrie's speed far exceeded that of ordinary humans. After a dozen seconds, Shigure Kira had long since disappeared.

"What about people?"

Looking at the empty snowfield in front of her, Xilin looked completely bewildered.

Where did those enemies go? What just happened? Could it be that I have intermittent amnesia?

No one answered Xilin's question. Shigure Kira, who had used time deletion to quickly slip away, collapsed to the ground, her limbs limp.

Psychological manipulation ignited her fighting spirit and unleashed her physical potential in an unconventional way, but this potential came at a price, and now it's time to pay the price.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Shi Yu Qiluo felt a wave of soreness all over her body. Cheng Lixue heard Shi Yu Qiluo's voice and forced herself to sit up to check her teammate's pulse.

"You've overworked yourself. Why don't you rest for a bit? I'll keep watch for you in the meantime. It should be a while before the emergency medical team arrives."

Cheng Lixue spoke earnestly, while Shi Yuqiluo responded weakly, "Thank you so much..."

After saying that, Shigure Kira closed her eyes, preparing to take this opportunity to rest. Recalling the power she had just experienced, Shigure Kira silently said in her heart, "Thank you, Black Knight."

Although it's unclear what Black Herrscher's purpose was in helping him, he was able to survive the Herrscher thanks to Black Herrscher.

A dozen minutes later, the members of the Snow Wolf Squad received emergency medical assistance from a medical team that arrived by plane.

A young-looking girl looked at the Snow Wolf Squad's medical examination report and felt it was necessary to apply for their transfer to a nearby medical base.

Their bodies were severely damaged this time, especially Shigure Kira, who had overexerted himself. If he had arrived any later, it's uncertain whether he would have survived.

Suddenly, the young girl in charge felt her watch vibrate, indicating that someone was trying to contact her.

While other medical personnel were still providing treatment in the snow, the person in charge of the operation ran to the helicopter and made contact with the person in charge.

The moment the call connected, a figure known to all appeared on the computer screen—a figure whose destiny was known to everyone.

"Lady Cecilia, we have found the Snow Wolf Squad."

Upon seeing the figure, the person in charge immediately spoke up. The person in charge could guess what Cecilia was most concerned about right now, after all, the Snow Wolf Squad was the team that this strongest S-class Valkyrie had once led.

Since it was unclear why the satellite signal could not reach Siberia, the members of Destiny switched to a communication technology that had been around for who knows how many years.

This method of communication over distance was not blocked by that unknown interference. After the person in charge finished speaking, Cecilia asked with a hint of worry in her voice:

"How are they now? How serious are their injuries?"

Cecilia took the mission to the First Aid Snow Wolf Squad to heart when she first saw it.

Regarding Cecilia's question, the person in charge thought for a moment and replied helplessly:

"If Shi Yu Qi Luo and Cheng Li Xue's injuries are left here, they will never heal. Even if Cheng Li Xue returns to headquarters, it will take at least half a year to recover."

Shiyu Qiluo's condition is even more serious; his injuries will take at least half a year to heal.

Salome, Shub, and Patrick are seriously injured and are expected to need about two weeks of recuperation before returning to headquarters.

Upon hearing the report from the person in charge, Cecilia decisively said, "Let's transfer them to Schicksal Headquarters first, and then carry out other missions after they recover from their injuries."

I'm almost at the target location, so there's no need to worry too much. They don't look like they're in a fighting condition right now.

After Cecilia finished speaking, the person in charge nodded in agreement, preparing to give some basic treatment before sending the other members of the Snow Wolf Squad to headquarters for treatment.

After observing for a while and confirming that Shigure Kira and her team would not die from their serious injuries, Xia Qing turned her attention back to the Honkai Beasts.

The ability to entertain oneself is less about mind manipulation and more about mental manipulation.

That ability is essentially a skill, some of which, with the help of Yog, has been mastered.

There are also some things that are not innate and need to be learned by oneself, and the relevant knowledge has been imprinted in Yug's mind.

The life form has gradually transformed into an external god, making it difficult for its own brain to burst.

After tricking another batch of Honkai Beasts and establishing a connection with the puppet she had chosen after it collapsed, Xia Qing suddenly smelled the aroma of barbecue.

"This smells pretty good."

Smelling the aroma of barbecue, Xia Qing felt it was time to eat. After burying the controlled puppet Honkai Beast underground, Xia Qing used Diablo's voice to head towards the source of the fragrance.

"Heavenly Judgment?"

Upon seeing the barbecue grill, Xia Qing subconsciously called out its name.

Looking at the people barbecuing, Xia Qing felt that her luck wasn't bad either; she had just wandered around and unexpectedly encountered someone who would play a significant role in the story.

"Nice to meet you, Siegfried Kaslana. Would you mind if I mooched a barbecue?"

Xia Qing approached the Heavenly Fire Judgment and asked Siegfried, who looked up and glanced at Xia Qing upon hearing his words.

"Tsk, I don't mind, but I'm a little curious what this unfamiliar gentleman is doing here?"

Because women have a stronger resistance to Honkai energy, men are quite rare in Schicksal, and Siegfried doesn't recall seeing this person in front of him.
