Both sides are fighting against the Honkai-destroying Valkyries, so why...?

Why do they insist on fighting to the death at this crucial moment?

Chapter 686. Impotent Fury

If Durandal were facing Kiana, who was wielding the ordinary Judgment of the Heavenly Flame, her chances of winning would actually be quite high.

After all, at this moment, Durandal wielded the Divine Key [Black Abyss White Flower] and a powerful weapon comparable to the Divine Key [Indestructible Supreme Saint], and also possessed the power of a World Bubble within her body.

Even with the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, Kiana could only barely contend with Durandal by relying on the bloodlines of her two families and the God-Slaying Armor, White Knight: Moonlight.

However, the Judgment of Heaven in Kiana's hand at this moment is not just an ordinary Destruction Key with a single core.

More than half a year ago, on the day Kevin ambushed Gu Yu and took the binding core from him, the second core was embedded in the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Saint Shaniat suppressed Durandal's Honkai energy, and the Honkai Beast factor within the Kaslana clan froze Durandal's feet.

Even though Durandal wanted to fight with all her might, at this moment, after Kiana injected Honkai energy into the second core, Kiana immediately projected the core power of the Herrscher of Binding onto Durandal's location.

Although it's impossible to completely replicate the barrier of constraint in this place using the power released from the core, in the battle between two S-rank Valkyries, this gap of less than a second is enough for Kiana to gain the upper hand.

"Excuse me, Bianca. This battle—"

Kiana slashed down with her greatsword, which was burning with crimson flames. After watching Durandal fall, unable to unleash her full power due to multiple restrictions, Kiana immediately deactivated the greatsword mode of Judgment of Heaven and transformed it into dual-gun form.

Then, supporting her almost immobile body, she slowly walked past Durandal, who was lying on the ground, without glancing at her again.

"Kiana... wait..."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so harsh, but what can I do when you're so strong?"

Kiana, without stopping, continued walking forward.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and no one can stop me."

“Otto Apocalypse has committed many evils; today, it is time to send him on his way.”

Despite the girl's rebellious words, all the Valkyries present unanimously chose not to block her path.

One reason is that they combined couldn't defeat the saintess in front of them, but Kiana's earlier words also caused everyone's hearts to waver.

Did Otto Apocalypse, the bishop who has ruled the world for five hundred years, really treat these Valkyries fighting on the front lines as pawns to be abandoned?

If the death of the previous saint, Cecilia Shaniat, was indeed suspicious, then...

Why would they risk their own safety to protect Otto at the first opportunity?

After Kiana's figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, Alvit, who was watching from the sidelines, gently helped Durandal, whose eyes were glazed over, up from the ground.

"team leader……"

"Alvit, tell me... were we really wrong to follow the bishop's orders?"

Hearing Durandal's words, Alvit sighed helplessly and finally understood.

Durandal was, after all, just a fourteen-year-old girl. When she lost the justice she believed in, the organization, and the two people she trusted most, it was only natural that she would become like this.

“Captain, I hope you understand. Whatever Lord Otto has done, if he has given orders that are beneficial to humanity, it is not wrong for us Valkyries to obey those orders.”

"When the vice-captain was handling those tasks in secret, she must have come into contact with the dark side of Schicksal, but since she chose to continue fighting as a Valkyrie, it means that she also recognized the legitimacy of this approach."

"Yes, Rita... but Rita is dead! She died because of the bishop's orders!"

Durandal, who had temporarily suppressed her grief, suddenly seemed to have completely collapsed, covering her head and speaking in a tearful voice.

"Because of His Holiness the bishop's orders... she will never come back!"

However, just then, a crisp telephone ring broke the somber atmosphere between the two.

After Arvit pulled out her communicator from her pocket and connected it, she heard a voice from an unknown number that shouldn't have been there.

"Member Alvit, I am Rita Losweiser, the vice-captain of Schicksal [The Undying Blade]. Now, let me report on the team's situation... no, let me guess."

Because Arvit had turned on the speaker specifically to avoid danger.

So at that moment, everyone present heard Rita say in a playful tone her inner 'guess'.

"Lady Durandal... is she crying now because Mr. Gu Yu beat her up?"

If at first people doubted whether this so-called 'Rita' was an imposter, after she said those words, those who knew Rita immediately understood.

Yes, that's right, that tone is genuine.

So she didn't die at all?

Rita! How are you now?!

Upon hearing her best friend's voice, Durandal immediately snatched Alvit's communicator, attempting to inquire about Rita's current situation.

However, because Durandal was too anxious, an extremely embarrassing thing happened.

Her power far exceeded that of an ordinary Valkyrie, and when she tried to seize Alvit's communicator, this power became uncontrollable due to her excessive anxiety.

As Durandal snatched it, Alvit's communicator shattered into pieces in mid-air just as it passed through Durandal's hand.

Then, Durandal looked at the shards scattered on the ground and at Alvitt, who was covering her face in despair, and let out an extremely furious roar.

………………

A few minutes ago, inside the Destiny Headquarters.

Inside a room at the headquarters of Destiny, Otto waited quietly for Gu Yu's arrival.

Just now, Amber was completely destroyed by the bomb that Otto had placed inside Rita's body, which suddenly emerged.

Otto was certain that Gu Yu had casually tossed the bomb into the Schicksal headquarters after digging it out of Rita's body.

After that kid does that, he'll definitely come to Destiny and have a good talk with Otto.

Now, Otto simply needs to wait quietly and prepare his hand.

Since Gu Yu did not choose to launch a dimensional reduction attack on the Heavenly Mandate Headquarters directly using special attacks, it means that he still has some rationality left.

Gu Yu, who is rational and kind, is a good person with many questions.

As long as he is a good person, then everything is still negotiable.

莫等

There will only be one update today. Please allow me to consider the direction to follow.

Purple sweet potato pudding.

Chapter 687. If it were her

However, Otto, who was waiting for Gu Yu, did not see that man.

Otto frowned slightly after hearing footsteps suddenly approaching from nearby.

Judging from the footsteps, there were two visitors, and both of them were women, their footsteps were very light.

Oh, one of them had particularly light steps, so he must have been quite small.

My increasingly clever granddaughter has come to me today to pressure me into resigning.

Interesting. I really didn't expect that Theresa, who was still hesitant more than half a year ago, would be able to do this now.

Otto narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the two people who appeared before him.

"Hehe, what an unexpected combination. Theresa, wasn't your way of visiting Grandpa a bit too extreme today?"

"No, I think Grandpa also wants to see his granddaughter grow up, right?"

Seeing the smile on Otto's face, Theresa smiled back.

"When you were teaching me in the first half of the year, you said something like this."

"You are the head of the Far East branch, and you are responsible for the branch and everyone in it! The reason I let you take the lead in the Far East branch, despite your stubbornness, is that I hope you can develop the sense of responsibility expected of a high-ranking member of Destiny!"

After saying this, Theresa smiled and planted the Oath of Judah in the ground, releasing countless chains.

“Now, I, Theresa Apocalypse, as the head of the Far East Branch of Schicksal and the original S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, have determined that [Schicksal Archbishop] Otto Apocalypse is no longer suitable for his current position.”

"Grandpa, would you rather hand over the power yourself, or let me take it from you? To be frank, I personally think you should choose the former."

"After all, as long as you cooperate, I won't interfere with your plan to revive your lover."

"Good! Well said!"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Otto couldn't help but applaud on the spot.

"No, it's not just about saying it well. Theresa, you did a great job, you did a great job!"

"Secretly, Gu Yu, who possesses the Corruption Core, brainwashed those branch leaders, making them cooperate with your actions. Finally, she used the power of the Herrscher of the Void to bypass Durandal and come directly to me to force my hand."

"You did a really good job. I never expected you to do this."

Otto's words at this moment were absolutely heartfelt.

He watched as his granddaughter evolved from a simple-minded girl who only knew how to fight into her current form.

If Otto hadn't been still working on his plans, he might have actually taken this opportunity to hand over his power to Theresa.

Moreover, on the other side...

"Miss Yae Sakura, right?"

After the applause ended, Otto looked at the cherry-haired woman next to Theresa, his face showing no sign of discomfort.

"Although we have long admired each other, this is probably the first time we have met in person."

“Of course. After all, I was trapped in the Far East for various reasons at the time. Otherwise, I would not have been able to stand by and watch Karen return to her fate to be punished.”
