Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

In the face of the terrifying power possessed by this sage king, all his resistance was as ridiculous as trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.

"By the way, have you been to this city before?" She smiled, and seemed to be in a very happy mood at the moment.

"No."

"That's perfect. We must introduce our new friend to our most proud—"

In the towering city wall, the obsidian gate slowly opened, and the galloping carriage drove in at a rapid speed.

"——Sage King City, Bailu City!"

Volume 1: Have We Really Defeaten Honkai?: Chapter 38: Theresa's Unfinished Dream, Please Witness

"Wow, you look quite human."

The Sage King of the Huang Empire leaned against the wall with a wicked smile, looking at Gao Su who was wearing an outfit that looked like the one in Assassin's Creed Revelations.

A black pullover hooded bodysuit with a grey cape emblazoned with a double-headed eagle, fastened to the chest with a large safety pin.

He wore a metal belt with a skull carved on it, and a heavy standard-issue longsword was inserted diagonally into the notch of the belt.

"Would you like another hat?"

As if she was in a good mood, she smiled even more mischievously and shook the dark felt hat in her hand. Pinned with a feather of an unknown animal, it shone brightly under the light.

Gao Su sighed helplessly, and amid the admiration of the Sage King of the Huang Empire, he put the funny hat on his head without hesitation.

Gan!

Originally, it at least looked a bit like a character from Assassin's Creed, but now it looks like a big rooster, and it tastes halal...

“Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!” Clapping his hands, the Sage King of the Huang Empire held his stomach and laughed so hard that he almost got a stitch in the side. The huge cloakroom with only the two of them was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

“That’s it, that’s it…Oh my god, hahahahahahaha!!!”

As Gao Su's expression became increasingly gloomy, she finally stopped laughing and took down a short stick inlaid with gold wire and jewels from the shelf.

He opened the door and took a step outside, then turned back, as if he remembered something.

"When you see other people later, don't say anything."

There was only a cold warning in the blue eyes.

Theresa Guanxing, the Sage King of the Huang Empire, suddenly seemed like a different person. Her movements became like those of a decisive and murderous warrior, and her words became much colder.

Gao Su suddenly became alert and immediately became timid. He shrank his head and dared not say anything more.

In his impression, the sage king of the Huang Empire before him was the first Huang Empire he knew that had no obvious hostility towards outsiders.

perhaps.

Unfortunately, this is the power center of the Huang Empire, where powerful people from all over the Huang Empire gather. If they discover that they are outsiders...

"Don't worry, just nod." She said coldly, glanced at him, grabbed the short stick in one hand, and used the back of her hand to button the glove on the other hand. There was a hint of imperceptible anger in her expression.

The long corridor was decorated with crystal chandeliers and covered with luxurious red carpet. The dull sound of steel boots stepping on the furry carpet echoed in the aisle.

Two figures, one short and one tall, walked among them.

Looking at the back of the Sage King who suddenly seemed to have changed his attitude, Gao Su followed behind her with a nervous heart.

He chose to accept the proposal of the Sage King of the Huang Empire only out of his desire to survive, and he had no idea what the leader of the Huang Empire was like.

Right now, he is like a lamb to be slaughtered, with no choice.

Being aware of the unknown is an innate instinct for outsiders, and he is no exception.

"Have you learned the etiquette of chivalry?" The Sage King of the Huang Empire stopped in front of a marble archway that was three times as tall as the Sage King of the Huang Empire. Gao Su, who was still thinking about it, almost bumped his head into it.

Under her cold gaze, Gao Su shook his head stiffly.

"Do you know the content of the oath?" she frowned and asked again.

"I don't know how long it will take for my wife to come here..."

"Tsk, whatever. Remember, after I say your new name, say 'I will definitely fulfill my mission' loudly, okay?"

Gao Su nodded and swallowed.

"very good."

She turned around, raised her hand, bent her fingers, and knocked on the door.

——Crack!

Almost at the same time, accompanied by a crisp sound, the door opened a crack.

In an instant, a light so bright that it was almost blinding, the noise of a hundred people talking to each other, and the friction sound of armor on the guards who opened the archway from the inside were heard together.

Faintly, Gao Su seemed to hear words like "Heaven's Mandate", "extinction of descendants", and "assassination".

Before he could think about it, the archway was completely open.

What caught Gao Su's eyes was a place that looked like the parliament hall, and the light that was much brighter than the lights in the corridor seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and no matter where he looked from, he could not see its light source.

The hall has two floors. The first floor is surrounded by green seats for members, which are raised in steps. A conference table is placed in the center, surrounded by only a few seats, all of which are filled with people from the Huang Empire who are dressed in luxurious clothes and have different appearances.

The second floor is like an observation deck, with stairs leading up from both sides, both covered with red velvet carpets.

Going up along it, you can see a black double-headed eagle with its wings spread out, and its wings are painted with various emblems.

Beneath the eagle's body is a throne shining with golden light.

"quiet!"

The gavel came down, and the gray-blonde girl with a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, who was sitting on the other side of the conference table, obviously higher than everyone else, glared at the group.

The whole place fell silent, but strangely, besides anger, there was also visible fear on the girl's face.

Without being pointed out, everyone in the parliamentary seats realized something and turned their eyes to the entrance one after another.

Hundreds of eyes were focused on the two of them. Gao Su, who was taken care of by the way, felt his pressure suddenly surge.

For the sake of his life, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth, trying his best not to show any cowardice so as not to reveal his true identity.

Just when he thought someone would attack him the next moment, something happened that was far beyond his expectations.

He mustered up his courage and raised his head, only to meet those pairs of terrified eyes.

He saw clearly that the destination of those gazes was Theresa Guanxing, the Holy King of the Huang Empire, who was holding a short staff, with a silver inverted cross pendant hanging on her chest and wearing a simple robe.

It was as if they were a terrifying beast that was choosing its prey. Apart from deep and profound fear, he saw no other emotions in those eyes.

Some people at the table even started to tremble in their legs.

"Discussion is a good thing. This is the place to discuss state affairs. Lady Rita, why are you interrupting them?" Theresa Stargazing, the Sage King of the Huang Empire, released a terrifying aura of dominance. Her cold voice seemed to carry a giant beast from the deep sea.

"My respected Majesty the Sage King of the Huang Empire, I have no eyes to see and no tongue to speak. I am just a slave here, conveying your will..." The gray-blonde girl stood up, put her right hand on her chest and saluted solemnly.

"Alright, alright, sit down. I didn't come here to punish you." She held the short stick and glanced at everyone present indifferently. Finally, she glanced at Gao Su behind her, indicating him to follow.

Then he walked over the conference table and went up the circular stairs behind the members' seats to the second floor, each step he took being loud and powerful.

He followed her reluctantly, feeling everyone's suspicious gazes as if he had seen a ghost. Gao Su clenched his fists nervously, his fingernails almost digging a bloody hole in his palms.

I'm going to die. What's wrong with these people? They all look like the guys in charge here, but they are so afraid of the Sage King of the Huang Empire!

Could it be that this sage king of the Huang Empire is really as cruel and merciless as the legend says, treating life as worthless?!

I am not really getting on a hearse!!!

Recalling the rumors he heard in the church, Gao Su was suddenly horrified.

The sound of iron boots sounded to him like the footsteps of approaching death.

"sword."

Walking up to the observation deck in front of the throne, the Sage King of the Huang Empire woke Gao Su up with a cold voice.

He was so nervous that his brain had completely shut down.

When he came to his senses, his body reacted automatically and he swiftly handed over the long sword at his waist.

"Are you afraid of death?" she suddenly whispered. Although her tone was still a little cold, her eyes were clear and calm.

"I'm afraid." Gao Su said honestly. He couldn't think of anything else to say at this moment.

"Oh? Honesty is a good virtue." She smiled and raised the sword high. Her slender fingers gently brushed the blade, reflecting Gao Su's trembling expression as he knelt on the ground. "Then let's kneel on one knee."

He had no idea what would happen next, so he had to do as he was told. However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the blade getting closer and closer to him. He swallowed hard and closed his eyes.

At that moment, it seemed as if a century had passed.

Just when Gao Su thought he was finished, he felt pressure on one of his shoulders.

“Never turn your back on your enemy.”

The pressure on one side disappears, and it comes on the other side.

"Never trust others' advice."

Finally, it was the back of the neck. The cool and smooth touch on the skin made Gao Su alert. This was the long sword that the Sage King of the Huang Empire had just raised high.

"Don't betray us." Her voice paused. Even without looking up, Gao Su could feel her gaze fixed on him, and his heart couldn't help but tremble again.

"Swear to the Heavenly Father, stand up, my blood knight—Gao Su!"

"I will definitely live up to your mission!" The moment he heard it, he realized that this was the sentence he was told to say, and Gao Su shouted it out with all his might.

"very good."

She looked at Gao Su who stood up, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and whispered.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Theresa Stargazing, the Holy King of the Huang Empire, walked to the front of the observation deck. In the light as bright as day, she raised the short staff with great solemnity.

"The Kingdom of Heaven's Mandate has been an inseparable part of the Huang Empire since the millennium oath. Now, the Apokalys family, the royal family of the Kingdom of Heaven's Mandate, under my protection, has suffered such a bloody disaster. What crime have you, who should have served the Empire and nipped the disaster in the bud, been punished for?"

Her words were harsh and sharp.

"If it weren't for the distractions of state affairs, I would have sworn an oath of blood and come here in person to wash away blood with blood and bring them justice."

"Considering your past contributions to the protection of the state, this matter will be forgotten and will not be pursued."

"But I, the king, cannot stand idly by and watch this matter, both emotionally and logically."

"It is proposed that Gao Su, my squire and my knight, be appointed as my eyes and ears, special envoy to investigate this matter and quell the unrest in the kingdom. Rita Rossweisse will oversee all matters on my behalf."

"Do you have any objections?"

Theresa Guanxing, the Sage King of the Huang Empire, who looked a little thin, held high the Sage King's scepter of the Huang Empire, wore the uniform of the Imperial Marshal, and stood under the huge double-headed eagle emblem.

The blue in her eyes represents the supreme will of the Sage King who belongs exclusively to the Huang Empire.

However, Theresa's sweet dream didn't last long before it was interrupted by a familiar voice:

"Your Excellency, it's time to get up."

"Ok?"

Theresa opened her eyes drowsily, rubbed them, and stretched. She hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.

　"What's the matter, Amber?"

"Yulandel is back."

Volume 1: Did We Really Defeat Honkai? Chapter 39: Is Earth the Captain's Final Word? Please Witness

In the living room, the girls, who had eaten their fill of wine and food, ate the watermelon and other fruits that Gao Su had cut and served them, played games, and told each other about their experiences of the past few days.

On the balcony, Mei and Gray were having a conversation:

"Ah... um... nice to meet you, Grayshu, I'm Mei Raiden."

"Mei, you have everyone's colors..."

Gray looked at the familiar colored spots on Mei's body, and after a moment's thought, she guessed the reason:

"I guess we should say it's been a while, right? Mei, you and your companions have used your own ideas to construct the picture you longed for, and finally painted it with your own colors. This is proof that the "Paradise" will always exist, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Mei sighed:

"Grethu..."

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Grace felt a little strange and asked:
