Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

Along with that attack, an unusual energy was also injected into her body, quickly invading her blood vessels and beginning to coagulate her blood like a blood clotting agent.

"The power of the Abyss?"

The inescapable force—I had heard of this special ability before; it was said to automatically deconstruct the life patterns of living beings in a chaotic and disordered direction.

After suffering such injuries, only the other side of the Black Abyss, White Flower, was able to repair and heal them.

"I'm really not good at swordsmanship."

With a sigh, Theresa shook her head and stood up again. Durandal had already charged forward again, wielding the Holy Lance, but this time... Theresa would not let her get to her so easily again.

"The Oath of Judah!! Read one volume now!"

Pulling the trigger again, the Binding Sword began reading the contents of its only storybook. Strange chanting echoed across the deck. Just as Durandal approached Theresa to within about five meters...

A huge cross appeared without warning behind Theresa.

Yulandel's pupils suddenly narrowed.

"The Oath of Judah"?

Why did it suddenly appear?

Moreover, this distance...

"Target acquisition mode—!"

As Theresa finished speaking, multiple chains shot out from the giant cross behind her, rushing towards Durandal.

Without time to think, Durandal's combat instincts led her to the optimal course of action. Her heels scraped across the deck, leaving a trail of sparks. Her initial speed slowed slightly, and as the chains tightened around her, she braced her feet against the ground, using the recoil to propel herself sideways for dozens of meters.

The moment she paused again, dozens of chains with binding force pursued her once more.

Yulandel, facing the pursuing chains, no longer dodged but instead revealed a bright smile, pointing her spear at all the incoming chains.

Immediately, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and his imposing aura spread out like a mountain.

"Come on, Theresa-senpai, now it's round two."

Chapter 212: Throughout history, has there ever been a crown prince who reigned for forty years?!

The strongest Valkyrie in Destiny

In fact, Theresa briefly held this title as well.

Until Cecilia's meteoric rise to fame, and now Bianca taking over the title,

Before Cecilia, the most outstanding Saintess of the modern era, rose to prominence, Theresa was also the top-ranked S-class Valkyrie.

but----

Times have changed.

However, she is now far behind the two generations of star players.

It's not that she lacks potential,

Instead, her beliefs were not firm enough from beginning to end. She was always pushed forward by Otto until later when she learned about some of the evil deeds Otto had done. Her inherent goodness began to resist all the evil deeds Otto had done, and she did not want to see herself becoming a force that would make Otto continue to make mistakes.

The former S-rank Valkyrie gradually faded into obscurity. Her body also contained the bloodline passed down from the Kaslana clan. At the same time, her body was also fused with the genes of another Emperor-class Honkai Beast, "Vishnu," the only "growth-type Honkai Beast" confirmed to have the potential to surpass the limits of Emperor-class Honkai Beasts, or even reach a higher upper limit.

By absorbing enough Honkai Beast Factors, one can continue to evolve to higher levels, such as Judgment Level, End of Law Level, and even... Planetary Level, which does not exist in Honkai Impact 3.

If Theresa were truly allowed to fully unleash her potential,

Even at its peak, Durandal was not without the power to fight back.

Now she,

She finally began to break free from Otto's control, finally began to face reality, and stopped simply covering her eyes and ears and ignoring everything about Otto. Instead, she completely abandoned this self-deceptive behavior and resolved to raise the banner of rebellion against her grandfather.

Throughout history, has there ever been a crown prince who reigned for forty years...?

Ok,

The main purpose was to make Grandpa realize that he was wrong.

Therefore,

When Theresa learned that the Schicksal ships had appeared above Sky City, she volunteered to come. Meeting Durandal was expected, but even without Durandal, she would have used her power to completely subdue these Schicksal Valkyries.

The Valkyries are warriors trained to fight against the Honkai, not suicide soldiers who would risk their lives for their grandfather's selfish desires.

"I want to go to Grandpa in person and tell him that he was wrong! For his own selfish desires, he trampled on too many lives and ignored the dignity of too many people..."

"I understand this kind of thing too."

Durandal brandished his holy lance, the blades flashing like spilled ink, relentlessly deflecting the incoming chains.

"He is not a benevolent person, but the current destiny... still needs him as the bishop. Only he can stabilize all parties, maintain the current strategic position of destiny, and safeguard the current peace of the world."

"How much longer do we have to wait? How many more people have to be hurt by Grandpa?"

"Then let me ask you the other way around, Senior Theresa, you knew that the bishop was wrong, so why did you flee to the Far East like a stray dog ​​and establish that so-called St. Freya Academy? Why didn't you point out the bishop's problems directly back then? Why has your strength and influence remained unchanged for so many years after fleeing to the Far East?"

Her gaze was like a sharp sword, as if trying to pierce through Theresa's heart.

"You are the one most qualified to replace Otto, aren't you?!"

……yes.

I am the one most qualified to replace Grandpa.

Therefore,

I will not hesitate any longer.

“I will become the new bishop, so, Durandal, would you be willing to help me?”

"Although I really want to say I do, now is not the time to say that, is it?"

The instant her spear shattered five chains, Durandal finally mastered Theresa's Judah's Oath targeting mode, and let out a clear, resounding shout.

"My mission now is to defeat you."

As the words fell, that clear, resonant shout seemed like a magical incantation. In that instant, Durandal's physical condition broke through once more, surpassing his limits and reaching an even more powerful realm.

The empty words shattered the life force and flowing Honkai energy within his body, transforming them into tangible power that flowed into his limbs and bones.

A radiant golden armor began to appear on her body.

The great feat of a young girl who once saved the world is now manifested here.

The sailors of the Caledonia were chanting the name of their savior.

The inhabitants of the Yucatan Peninsula are singing in unison the name of the girl who is the "incarnation of the goddess of war."

"I am the black that devours everything, I am the white that gives birth to everything; born before creation, existing after annihilation—!"

The girl chanted the incantation to release the Divine Key.

In an instant,

Starting from the tip of the Holy Lance, a dazzling and intense white light began to intertwine across its surface. The pure light, like a feathered robe, draped over the golden armor. To Theresa, the girl at this moment seemed to possess a certain divinity.

"Black Abyss White Flower - First Rated Power!"

As those high-pitched and clear words fell once more, the dazzling, intense white light contracted at the tip of the spear, and then, in the next moment, to Theresa's astonishment,

The girl suddenly lowered her body, gripping the middle of the holy lance tightly. Without warning, she raised it above her shoulder, and in the instant her waist twisted, a monstrous strength exceeding her previous limits was unleashed in a single strike.

The pure white holy lance abruptly transformed into a dazzling comet.

In that instant, her entire vision was obscured by that pure white light. Theresa didn't even have time to react as the comet hurtled towards her.

but,

Ultimately, it was her past fighting instincts that prompted her to respond. The Oath of Judah behind her suddenly retracted all its chains, intertwining in front of her to form a shield.

These chains inherently possess the property of dissipating all energy; as long as it can withstand this direct 137-level attack, the energy on the Holy Lance will be disintegrated by the chains.

At that time, Durandal, having lost her weapon, would have absolutely no chance of defeating her.

but,

She still underestimated Durandal's fighting instincts.

This chosen one, who inherited the bloodlines of both the Kaslana and Shaniat families, possesses an extraordinary, superhuman combat instinct, surpassing any level of intuition imaginable.

The moment the Holy Lance touched the chains, the Black Abyss White Flower exploded like a time bomb, the Honkai energy injected into it erupting violently. Terrifying shockwaves raged outwards across the deck, and the shield formed by the restraining chains creaked and groaned. For a moment, the rate at which the energy was dissipated simply couldn't keep up with the speed at which the Holy Lance was breaking through her defenses.

And it was at this same time that...

In a mere moment of distraction, Durandal acted once more, dashing towards the location of the Holy Lance like an arrow released from a bow. Then…

Without hesitation, she bypassed the location of the binding chains and rushed straight towards Theresa's location. Her movements did not pause for a moment, even while Judah's Oath was still carrying out other commands.

The current strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal had already penetrated to within a meter of Theresa. The undying star anchor on her body condensed into a strange sword-shaped weapon, which then locked onto Theresa's location and launched another attack.

"Senior Theresa, this time, we've completely checkmated them."

Chapter 213: Knight Rampage is a Traditional Art, Not to Be Missed.

Theresa is actually not weak.

But unfortunately,

Having been out of battle for a long time, she was as sluggish as Hu Lei.

Ultimately, they cannot maintain the same sharp combat senses as soldiers who are truly on the front lines for extended periods.

When Durandal closed in, Theresa knew her defeat was inevitable.

In close combat, her fighting skills weren't particularly outstanding to begin with, let alone now that her opponent was armed.

sword.

This weapon was relatively unfamiliar to her.

As for the other party,

However, it is a very familiar weapon used in combat.

“Theresa, it’s time to use that thing. In conventional warfare, you’re no match for her.”

"I understand."

Theresa sighed inwardly. Before she arrived, Emiya had already warned her that Durandal was likely to surpass her in power, and now…

And indeed, his judgment was accurate, just as he said.

Therefore,

Before she boarded the Immortal Blade's destroyer, Emiya prepared one last secret weapon for her.

"Could it unleash my potential, or even cause me to go berserk?"

"But I must show my determination here; I absolutely cannot lose to this child."

After removing the visor completely, Theresa put on the special mask that Emiya had given her as a final gift. Immediately, the two powers existing within her body began to quietly awaken.

Kaslan 137.

Vishnu.

"I have reasons why I cannot afford to lose."

……

"Kaslana's bloodline originates from Kevin."

"In the pre-civilization era, Kevin accepted a project called Chimera, fusing the genes of hundreds of Honkai Beasts into his body, ultimately forming a Hollow-level Honkai Beast called 'Brahma' within him."

"In the new generation, once the bloodline of Kaslana awakens, it will enter the sacred space shared by the Kaslana clan."

“All the awakened ones of Kaslana throughout history, as well as… Kevin Kaslana, can be found there.”

"Theresa is a product of Otto's laboratory. Like Kiana, she is an artificial human, but her genetic makeup is slightly different from Kiana's. One difference is that they both possess the blood of the Kaslana Knights."

"Secondly, there is the gene of Vishnu, a Honkai Beast of the Emperor level, a kind of growth-type Honkai Beast that can devour the genes of other Honkai Beasts and reach the level above Emperor."
