I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

The surrounding scenery changed again, and everyone found themselves back on the spacious deck of the cruise ship, with warm sunlight shining on them, as if everything just now was a dream.

Only the pocket watch in Gu Ye's hand and the peculiar aura emanating from Yulandel, connected to the World Bubble, proved that everything that had just happened was real.

Gu Ye glanced at the emerald green leaf in his hand and casually handed it to Yulandel beside him.

"Please give this to Otto for me."

"Give me?"

Durandal paused, somewhat puzzled. "Isn't this very important information? Why didn't you keep it for yourself?"

Gu Ye turned around and looked at the spot where Su had just disappeared, and said softly, "Because, that's what he thought too, isn't it?"

"He hopes that people of this era can forge their own paths, rather than relying on the information of their predecessors to avoid so-called 'mistakes'."

"Besides,"

Gu Ye shook the Thousand Realms One Vehicle pocket watch in his hand. "I already have this. Those intelligence reports are not of much use to me."

He could feel that his powerful mental strength was perfectly aligned with the Divine Key in his hand.

"Okay, everyone."

Gu Ye clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. "Take a break and get ready. Our next stop is the Sea of ​​Quanta."

His gaze shifted to Durandal and Rita.

"And you two? The strongest Valkyrie of Destiny and her adjutant, are you going to explore that unknown territory together?"

"Of course I want to go!"

Yulandel blurted out, her excitement at being able to travel with such an unfathomable powerhouse as Gu Ye.

Not to mention, she had been to the Sea of ​​Quanta, but that trip was not perfect.

This time, entering the Sea of ​​Quanta might be a different experience.

However, before she could finish speaking, Rita gently pulled her arm.

"Lady Durandal,"

Rita wore an impeccable smile, but her tone was resolute: "Please forgive my bluntness, but exploring the Quantum Sea is not included in the terms of our cooperation with Mr. Gu Ye. Our task is simply to assist him in obtaining the Thousand Realms One Vehicle."

"Rita, you..."

Durandal frowned in displeasure.

"Really?"

Gu Ye raised an eyebrow. He hated these kinds of restrictions the most. "Now that the cooperation is over, things are easier."

He snapped his fingers and announced to everyone on deck, "So, from this moment on, we're parting ways with Destiny. I've requisitioned this ship. You two, you may disembark now."

These blunt words instantly made the atmosphere on the field tense.

"Gu Ye! You can't do this!"

Yulandel was anxious; she didn't want to ruin her relationship with Gu Ye.

"Lady Durandal, please calm down."

Rita maintained her smile, but her eyes sharpened. She whispered, "The Sea of ​​Quanta is an extremely dangerous place. Entering without any navigation technology or safety guarantees could lead to a pointless loss of way once lost. We cannot risk Schicksal's strongest forces on such a pointless mission. Moreover, Honkai Beasts are emerging all over the world these days. We cannot waste our precious time on this kind of exploration without a clear objective."

Rita's analysis made a lot of sense. Although Durandal was unwilling, she understood the stakes involved and fell silent for a moment.

The atmosphere on deck became tense.

Just then, a faint electrical buzzing came from the miniature communicator in Rita's ear.

It is an encrypted communication from Otto.

She walked to the side and quietly connected the call.

"Rita."

Otto's elegant and composed voice rang out, "I have received the intelligence that Durandal has passed on. The contents are very... interesting."

"Your Majesty Bishop."

Rita responded respectfully.

"Things have changed."

Otto's tone left no room for argument, "Your mission objective has changed. From now on, at all costs, follow Gu Ye, gain his trust, and uncover his true purpose in entering the Sea of ​​Quanta."

"As ordered."

Rita did not hesitate at all.

"hehe,"

Otto chuckled softly from the other end of the communicator, a hint of teasing in his voice. "My dear Rita, there are many ways to gain someone's trust. If necessary, I don't mind if you use some... feminine advantages. After all, you should know better than me what the fastest way to win a man's heart is."

Rita's smile froze for a moment.

His Excellency the Bishop is saying those things again...

"However, based on my analysis, you probably don't need to go through that trouble."

Otto continued, "The weather forecast data shows that he's a typical 'otaku' with a natural affinity for anime girls. With your and Lady Durandal's looks, it shouldn't be difficult for him to develop feelings for you."

"A shut-in?" Rita's gaze swept over Gu Ye, who was surrounded by a group of top-tier beauties with different styles, including Kitagawa Umimu, Tohsaka Rin, and Raiden Mei, who were discussing something with obvious enjoyment.

Your Excellency, your understanding of 'otaku' is probably somewhat flawed.

Moreover, even an S-class Valkyrie doesn't seem to have much of a chance against that lineup...

跷0?⑵弍仈⑶○㈨⒏

Although she was internally ranting and raving, she maintained the utmost humility on the surface.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency."

Rita's lips curled back into that confident and elegant smile, her wine-red eyes gleaming with an air of determination.

"Rita, I understand."

The breeze along the Thames carried a slight coolness, dispelling the last trace of summer heat.

After deciding to take a short break, the group left the luxurious cruise ship and arrived in London, an ancient and bustling city.

Wow! Is this Big Ben? It looks even more magnificent than in the photos!

Kitagawa Kaimu excitedly held up her phone, taking photos from all sorts of tricky angles, trying to frame the magnificent building and herself together in the shot.

"Really, it's just a clock tower, what's the big deal?"

Although Rin Tohsaka said that, her eyes honestly scanned the surroundings, showing a strong interest in the historical buildings.

The Britain of this world, compared to the Britain of her world, has less of a sense of antiquity but more of a vibrant energy.

"More than that, I'm interested in where the gem market is here; maybe I can find something good."

"Rin, you really can't stop talking about your gems."

W leaned against the bridge railing, yawning listlessly. "This peaceful place is so sleepy. It's more interesting to go back to the ship and study its structural blueprints."

Kiana and Bronya were drawn to the ice cream truck on the street, while Mei helplessly paid for the two guys who were fighting over the last flavor.

Kanae Butterfly and the Sword Saintess stood smiling to the side, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

In the midst of this peaceful atmosphere, Gu Ye suddenly frowned.

A sense of crisis, like being targeted by a venomous snake, emanated from behind him.

He shouted almost instinctively:

"Get down!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, grabbed Hai Meng and Rin who were standing next to him, and activated his Stand "Weather Forecast". A strong updraft instantly blew everyone around him off balance, causing them to fall to the ground involuntarily.

Almost simultaneously, a blinding magenta beam of light tore through the air with a sharp explosion, flashing past the spot where everyone had just been standing.

The beam of light flew off the ground and eventually struck the embankment of the Thames River in the distance.

There was no violent explosion. The large section of the riverbank, made of solid rock and concrete, that was hit was silently disintegrated and disappeared, as if erased by an invisible eraser, leaving only a huge gap with a smooth, mirror-like cross-section.

The river water flowed back in, making a splashing sound.

This bizarre and terrifying scene sent chills down everyone's spines.

"Damn! It's a sniper!"

W was the first to react. She rolled over and stood up, her gaze sweeping like a hawk toward the direction from which the bullets had come—the rooftop of a tall building in the distance.

"Chase!"

Durandal's voice was calm and decisive. She pushed off with her feet and launched herself like a cannonball, rapidly chasing after the tall building.

Chapter 85: Saving Seele, but where are the coordinates?

However, when Durandal arrived at the rooftop, it was already empty, leaving only a still-warm bullet casing and a faint trace of the energy residue belonging to the Divine Key in the air.

The attackers, having missed their target, immediately fled without leaving any trace.

Despite the fruitless pursuit, Durandal was not discouraged.

She jumped off the rooftop, intending to return and rejoin the others.

Just as she fell into a secluded alley, a swift black shadow, carrying a sharp killing intent, pounced out from the shadows to the side. Its purplish-red claws drew three cold streaks in the air, aiming straight for her throat!

This was a perfect sneak attack; any A-rank Valkyrie would probably have been severely injured in an instant.

But its rival is Durandal.

"Ok?"

Durandal didn't even turn her head; she simply flicked her hand casually.

Her movements looked effortless, as if she were shooing away an annoying fly.

"boom!"

The cat-shaped Honkai Beast, whose size was comparable to that of an adult cheetah, felt an irresistible and terrifying force the moment it touched Durandal's hand.

Its proud strength, its sturdy armor, is as fragile as paper in the face of this power.

Before it could even let out a mournful cry, its entire body flew backward, crashing heavily into the wall at the end of the alley with a loud thud, before sliding down like a lump of mud.

How...how is this possible?! I didn't even see how she made her move...This is...the strongest in the Destiny...

Stan's consciousness blurred amidst the excruciating pain, and his pride in his strength and dignity was utterly crushed.

Overwhelmed by its strong survival instinct, it endured the excruciating pain as if all its bones had been broken, deactivated its Honkai Beast form, and transformed back into an ordinary cat with a pitiful appearance and mottled fur.

It huddled in the corner, watching the powerful, god-like blonde woman slowly approaching with a look of fear and pleading.

"Huh? What's that kitten doing here?"

Durandal walked over and looked at the trembling cat in the corner, a curious look on her face. "It looks like something bumped into the wall just now. Was that you? Are you hurt?"

She crouched down, reached out her finger, and tried to touch Stan's head.

Stan's fur stood on end; he sensed a terrifying power emanating from this woman that could crush him into dust.

But it dared not hide, or even move.

It could only stand frozen in place, letting that "terrifying" finger fall on its head, and then, with all its might, it uttered what it thought would be the most pleasing sound to the other party, a strained, high-pitched voice.

"Meow~"

Rita arrived at the alley shortly afterward and immediately noticed the faint Honkai energy reaction on the cat.

Is it an artificial Honkai Beast? But when she saw the rare, genuine expression of affection on Durandal's face, and the cat's extremely "obedient" appearance, she chose to remain silent.

Never mind, as long as Lady Durandal likes it, and it doesn't seem to pose any threat.

When Durandal returned, carrying a cat and looking quite content, everyone gathered around her.

"Wow! What an adorable kitten! Where did you find it, Silly Goose?"
