At this point, Gu Yu couldn't help but ask Theresa angrily.

"Why make such a risky plan, Dean!"

"You know perfectly well..."

"You know this will put Rita in danger? Kid, haven't you forgotten something?"

After picking up Judas, who had been slammed to the floor with one hand, Theresa turned and gave Gu Yu a cold look.

“From the moment we Valkyries step onto the battlefield, we are in danger. If we were afraid of danger, we would not have chosen to step onto the battlefield in the first place.”

"Opportunities are fleeting. If we can seize the chance to eliminate the enemy, why not take action? Do you expect us to stand by and watch this mastermind continue to harm the people?"

That cannot be refuted.

Although Theresa and Rita's actions were risky, they did weaken Gamio's strength.

If Gamio had not been weakened by the divine grace barrier, and his main body and core were undamaged, he could have used the entire innocent population of London as nourishment when the time was right to unleash the spell array.

By then, Gu Yu couldn't even imagine how much stronger Gamio would be, having absorbed the life energy of an entire city's population...

Perhaps only when it reaches that point will Gamio truly become the most terrifying ultimate darkness.

"Besides, you seem to know this feeling now, right?"

"Think about it carefully, kid. Is there any difference between what you did in the past and what Rita is doing today?"

"I can handle this by myself..."

"It has nothing to do with the strength of your combat power. When you are fighting, there will always be other people worried about you."

Theresa, dragging the cross, hugged Rita with one arm and then spoke to Gu Yu without turning her head.

"I don't expect you to return to St. Freya with peace of mind starting today, but at least think twice before you act next time."

"You might be able to do a lot on your own. But those who do everything themselves will only end up working themselves to death."

"Working together with others, delegating tasks, and doing your own job well—that's the wisdom of us 'humans.' Just like now..."

After gently jumping down from the windowsill, Theresa looked at the weakened people in the London city and asked Gu Yu.

"Post-war reconstruction is also very important for this city. And all of this must be done by the joint efforts of both Destiny and England."

"The world doesn't revolve around one person."

Never.

PS1: This is a combined chapter. I'll just take a quick look first... Oh wait, there's another chapter next door.

Chapter 286. Let me talk to him alone.

Headquarters of Destiny

Inside the medical room at the headquarters of Destiny, Durandal, who had just arrived, looked anxiously at the door of the medical room.

Beside her, Gu Yu stood silently, keeping her company as she waited quietly.

At this moment, Durandal deeply regretted not having put aside her mission and accompanied Rita to the Fog City.

In order to eliminate those Honkai Beasts, she has been traveling all over the world. Sometimes Rita has to carry out other missions and it is quite common for her to leave for a while.

Therefore, she expected that this time, just like before, Rita would be there to greet her when she returned home after completing her mission, saying "Welcome back."

"Mr. Gu Yu, what kind of Honkai Beast did you encounter this time?"

Recalling what she had heard from the medical staff, Durandal's worries grew even stronger.

"Even the strongest ordinary Honkai Beast shouldn't be able to cause this kind of damage, right?"

"But now, things are in chaos in Fog City, and although Rita's injuries have been healed by you, she hasn't regained consciousness..."

"Tell me what exactly happened in London!"

"A troublesome individual has appeared, someone who doesn't belong to the Honkai faction. There's no point in saying anything more..."

"I'm sorry, it was my fault for handling it poorly."

If it were Durandal back then, before she became an S-rank Valkyrie, she might have angrily grabbed Gu Yu by the neck and questioned him vehemently.

Just like when she questioned Himeko Murata back then.

But the current Durandal is no longer the impulsive little girl she once was.

"This is not your fault, there is no need to feel guilty."

She knew that everyone had their own difficulties, and on the battlefield, no one could guarantee their own safety.

The boy managed to defeat the enemy, save everyone in the Fog City, and heal Rita's injuries, preventing the situation from worsening. He handled things perfectly.

He was her comrade-in-arms who protected innocent people alongside her. Rather than taking her anger out on her comrade-in-arms who had already achieved great results, Durandal felt that she should focus on training.

It was because she wasn't strong enough that she couldn't resolve the Honkai events in a shorter time, which forced Rita to travel to the Fog City alone.

As expected, if we can maintain a stable grasp on that power...!

"However, you said the enemy isn't in the Honkai faction... Hmm, we humans have other enemies to deal with besides the Honkai, is that what you mean?"

"I guess so……"

Gu Yu really didn't want to reveal too much information to Durandal.

It's not that I don't trust the girl's character, it's just that...

She's too straightforward; she'll obediently tell you anything after just a couple of simple questions.

Durandal is a decent person, but Otto Apocalypse, with whom she has a mentor-student relationship, is a real pain. Given the chance, he'll definitely cause a lot of trouble, leaving you with no choice but to clean up his messes.

Although the power of the Grongi has nothing to do with reviving Kallen, even if Gu Yu tells Otto so bluntly, he still has to believe it.

If Otto were to come into contact with these powers, or even if he were to learn that Gamio could resurrect the dead as Grongi...

If Otto saw this, he would probably imagine it could bring people back to life, and would immediately start conducting new experiments in a great hurry.

If he crashes, who knows how many more lives will be lost.

So, it's best not to say anything.

At the very least, we can't tell Durandal this information.

"Lady Durandal".

Just as Durandal was about to continue pressing for information about Gu Yu, the head of the medical department suddenly pushed open the door and spoke to Durandal.

"Lady Rita has regained consciousness, and you may meet with her now. However, it is not advisable to stay for too long."

"And... this must be Mr. Gu Yu, right?"

Recalling Rita's words, the medical staff adjusted their glasses and spoke to Gu Yu.

"Lady Rita also wishes to meet with you to discuss the aftermath of that day."

"……I see."

Durandal didn't think much of Rita's request.

After all, according to Theresa's combat report, Rita sacrificed herself to seriously injure the enemy in the battle that took place in the Fog City yesterday, and Gu Yu was responsible for the subsequent battle.

Rita is such a responsible person, she would definitely check whether the mission was completed as soon as she woke up.

With this in mind, the two entered the medical room.

Then, upon seeing Rita's Durandal, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl in the hospital bed looked no different from before, except that she was wearing a hospital gown.

She still wore that faint smile, gazing at him with a gentle smile.

His complexion was rosy and his breathing was steady; he didn't look like anything was wrong.

Durandal had a lot to say, but in the end, the words she uttered were no different from anything she said on a daily basis.

"Rita, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, Lady Durandal."

As her best friend responded with a smile, just like before, Durandal still felt something was off.

Oh well, I guess I'm just too concerned about Rita, and that concern has made me lose my bearings.

"Lady Durandal, may I have some time alone with Mr. Guyu?"

Seeing the relief on Durandal's face, Rita suddenly said something that greatly surprised Gu Yu and Durandal.

"It's possible, but..."

After glancing sideways at Gu Yu behind her, Yulandel suddenly felt a little confused.

"I remember, your relationship wasn't very good."

"It's just an illusion, Lady Durandal. Besides, it has nothing to do with our relationship. I just wanted to find Mr. Gu Yu to confirm some post-war information."

Yes, that's true, it's definitely not a problem. That's really in line with Rita's style.

“Well then, I’ll be going now. Bishop Otto has been urging me to go back and meet with him.”

After saying those words, Durandal walked out of the room.

Before leaving, Durandal turned back and gave Rita one last piece of advice.

"Take care of yourself, Rita."

"I understand, Lady Durandal."

After waving to Durandal, Rita smiled and looked at the other medical staff around her.

Without Rita giving any instructions, the medical staff immediately filed out of the room, closing the door behind them.

"...Ha, making it all so mysterious."

Looking at the girl by the bed, Gu Yu secretly focused his mind and body on the Holy Mark and asked Rita.
