Although they are not from the same world, whether it is Kiana who lost control just a few months ago, or Raiden Mei who watched Kiana lose control, or Rita who is from the same world as them, they all gave up thinking about things in "different worlds" driven by empathy and their sense of responsibility as Valkyries.
A Herrscher lost control right before their eyes - this alone was reason enough for them to take action.
However, facing the Herrscher of the Void who was surrounded by several people in the coffee shop, he only did one thing to resolve the crisis.
She glanced coldly at the four people who were chasing her, and then glared at the magical girl Celine, whose face was full of helplessness, with a look full of hatred and murderous intent as if she wanted to kill someone. However, she did not make any impulsive moves. Instead, she took a step back behind herself - outside the door of the cafe without hesitation, with a cruel and sarcastic smile on her lips.
Ever since she was awakened by Siegfried last night, the Herrscher consciousness in Kiana's body has been plotting to take over her body again.
Although she, like Kiana, had lost her memory of the cafe and its manager last night, she had not forgotten the fact that "she had once successfully taken away Kiana's body, but was inexplicably pushed back."
As a Herrscher who wields the power of the void, she immediately keenly noticed the peculiarity of this cafe. The space inside this cafe did not belong to the real world. Although it accepted people from different worlds, at the same time, these people from different worlds who entered this cafe could not go to other worlds through this cafe.
In this cafe, she saw "her own body" from a different world - that is, Kiana from Sky City. That "body" from a different world not only had the "self" inside it suppressed to death, but even the power originally stored in its body seemed to have been completely deprived.
The Herrscher of the Void would certainly not allow herself to end up in the same situation as the "herself" in that body. Therefore, even though she was also full of murderous intent and hatred towards the magical girl Sirin in the cafe, she still made the most correct choice at the first moment.
The moment the Herrscher of the Sky left the café, the faces of all those who had been chasing her changed, except Theresa who belonged to the same world as her. The Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, who was closest to the café door, rushed out of the door first, followed by Theresa who rushed out like a cannonball.
But in the next second, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, retreated back into the door of the cafe with a grim face, and Theresa's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
"No, I can't catch up with her." The Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, said in a deep voice. Following Theresa's footsteps, Kiana and Raiden Mei, who also rushed to the door, showed ugly expressions after hearing the words of the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei.
"You too...?" Kiana whispered.
"Ah, the door of this cafe completely blocks the world between us. Outside the door, I can only see the scene of the paradise in the past." The Herrscher of Thunder, Raiden Mei, looked gloomy. "Is it the same for you?"
"Well, in my field of vision, outside the door is the suburbs of Sky City. Mei should be the same." Kiana's face also looked a little unhappy. Although Theresa possessed the power of an S-class Valkyrie, as a fellow Herrscher of the Void, Kiana knew very well that if it came to mobility alone, even she, who had not yet fully mastered her power, was not someone Theresa could defeat. If the Herrscher of the Void was determined to escape, it would be almost impossible for Theresa to catch up with her with her speed alone.
Rita's expression was more serious than ever. She turned her face and looked at the long-haired "self" and said softly, "If we 'outsiders' can't do it, can we ask these 'shop assistants' for help?"
Although outsiders like them cannot cross different worlds through this cafe, Rita clearly remembers that when she led the Undying Blade team to surround this cafe in Sky City, that "herself" who was as elegant as a dancer and as mysterious and dangerous as a witch was able to ignore the barriers between the worlds and personally came to the world where she was, and easily defeated all the members of the Undying Blade team one by one.
Not only the long-haired "self", but also the manager of this cafe went to Changkong City and controlled Mei Raiden and Kiana, whose bodies were taken away by the Herrscher's will, and forcibly awakened their human side.
After hearing Rita's proposal, the two Meis and Kiana standing at the door all turned their eyes in the direction of Guanxing.
However, before Kiana could ask for help, Brownie suddenly spoke up.
"It's better to save your energy and just wait here."
She raised her palm and tapped the air in front of her a few times. A translucent virtual light screen unfolded. Brownie casually glanced at the scene in the light screen and said confidently in an unspoken tone:
"There's no need for us to do anything. That guy won't be able to jump around for a few minutes."
"?"
The Herrschers and Valkyries standing at the door were stunned and looked at each other in confusion.
Outside the cafe, Changkong City at the end of 2013.
The situation that Theresa encountered was indeed the same as Kiana had guessed.
After rushing out of the door of the cafe, Theresa's face suddenly turned ugly. The figure of the Herrscher of the Sky appeared at a height of seven or eight hundred meters from the ground in a flash. From the ground, it had completely turned into a small dot.
At this altitude, even an S-class Valkyrie like Theresa couldn't approach instantly by foot strength alone. Although the Oath of Judas she held also had the function of flying, she also knew that with Judas's flying speed, it would be too difficult to capture the Herrscher of the Void who could perform space jumps at any time.
Unless... Judas's zeroth rated power is forcibly released.
The Divine Grace Barrier of zero rated power has an effective range of several kilometers. If the Divine Grace Barrier is fully released, it will not be difficult to capture the Herrscher of the Sky who is about seven hundred meters above the ground.
However, first of all, the Divine Grace Barrier is an ability that does not distinguish between friend and foe. Within the scope of the barrier, even Theresa herself will be greatly affected. During the second collapse, she used this ability on Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void at that time. Although Sirin did completely lose the means of resistance because of this, if the distance was close, she could still use Judas's spear to directly penetrate the opponent's flesh, but at such a long distance, Theresa had no way to guarantee that her body could walk such a long distance while bearing the restraining power.
Secondly... the Herrscher of the Sky is now using Kiana's body after all. If her power is taken away in an instant and she falls from a height of 700 meters, Theresa can hardly guarantee that Kiana, who has lost her Honkai energy, will not die on the spot from the fall.
Fortunately, perhaps because he could not suppress his desire to laugh at his enemy, the Herrscher of the Void distanced himself from the two sides but did not choose to move away immediately.
From a distance, Theresa could see that the Herrscher of the Sky used Kiana's face to make an expression of extreme mockery and disdain.
"Humph, so weak, so insignificant, so ignorant of one's own abilities—"
"More than ten years have passed, and you still haven't made any progress at all."
The golden pupils were filled with the ecstasy of revenge and cold sneer.
"What? You want to stop me? You want to take this little girl back?"
"Stop talking nonsense, this body doesn't belong to you!" Theresa's face was gloomy, but her eyes glanced quickly behind her without leaving any trace.
Although Kiana and the others in the cafe could not see what was happening on their side, Theresa could clearly see the scene in the cafe and hear their conversation.
Mei and Kiana from other worlds seemed unable to travel to different worlds through this cafe. She did see that the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, who rushed out of the door before her, suddenly disappeared from her sight for a moment.
Obviously, when passing through the door, he and the other party did not arrive in the same world.
But... why do they say that the Herrscher of the Void won't be able to jump around for much longer?
With such doubts, Theresa raised her head with a serious expression and focused her eyes on the air again, but suddenly showed a somewhat surprised expression.
Perhaps he took Theresa's shocked expression as a sign that he was completely helpless. The Herrscher of the Void, floating in the air, continued to vent his disdain for Theresa with a frenzy on his face, spouting trash talk one after another:
"How ridiculous! This body was created for me by greedy humans as a vessel - a sacrifice for my birth. It has been my body from the beginning."
"Haha, do you feel sad? Sad? Don't want to admit the reality? Unfortunately, this is the truth, the irrefutable truth. What I want to see is your expression full of despair. What? Are you going to continue to risk your life here for a mere fake?"
"Unfortunately, an ant is an ant. Your dying struggle will only hasten your death. Four years ago, I killed those annoying Valkyries. Now, you will suffer the same fate as those miserable Valkyries."
"Well, the memories in this body tell me that you seem to have built an academy? Haha...hahahaha, then let me start with those students who know nothing! I will tell them that it is because of you, the dean, that they died at my hands. I will record their cries and despair. I will not kill them immediately. I will heal their bodies while piercing them again and again, and then let you listen to the hatred and curses those students have for you when they are in pain...I want--"
“…” Theresa stared blankly at the Herrscher of the Void who was talking nonsense in the air, her lips twitching.
"What's wrong? Do you want to beg for mercy?" The Herrscher of the Void sneered.
"No, I just want you to see the back." Theresa said dully.
"Ha, do you think I will believe you?" The Herrscher of the Void laughed, "I——"
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head, and her consciousness fell into darkness without any resistance in the sudden and violent shock.
A big blue goose held up the knight's gun in its hand with an expressionless face and grabbed the body of the Herrscher of the Sky that was about to fall due to losing consciousness.
She held Kiana by the back of her collar and said calmly.
"You talk a lot."
Chapter 4: The Undying Blade of Mutual Backstabs (k)
Bianca yorendelle goose atagina.
As a Valkyrie who takes becoming the strongest as her direction of progress and completely expelling the collapse as her biggest goal at this stage, in her previous life, Yulandel had never been tempted by any opposite sex or same sex. Apart from seeing the human physiological structure in physiology books, she had never seen those unhealthy things anywhere.
Although Yulandel would not comment on other people's love affairs, if conditions permit, she would not even mind offering her blessings to men and women who are in love, but as a Valkyrie with a strong sense of responsibility, Yulandel herself did not have the slightest intention or interest in falling in love before Honkai was completely expelled from this world.
Skyward is a militarized organization whose members are mostly Valkyries. The Valkyrie team is basically composed of Valkyries with artificial stigmata implanted and natural stigmata holders who are born with stigmata.
Most of the Valkyries who were willing to voluntarily implant artificial stigmata have suffered from the disaster of Honkai, and are therefore willing to fight to the death with Honkai at the cost of shortening their lifespans; and most of the natural stigmata holders who were born with stigmata belong to family clans whose original purpose was to fight against Honkai.
Regardless of the former or the latter, these two types of people, after joining Tianming and undergoing military training, are likely to admire powerful strength from the bottom of their hearts. For these people, men without power are not among the options for choosing a mate from the beginning, so it is natural for them to easily go the path of grinding tofu.
As the most powerful Valkyrie by destiny, the upright and heroic Yulandel is like a lesbian favorite among the Valkyrie group.
Although Yulandel was slow-witted, she could not stand the love letters sent to her by the Valkyries every day. Even though most of the love letters were intercepted by Rita, there were always some that slipped through the net and were forcibly stuffed into some strange places.
In order to reject these special feelings that troubled her, Youlandel built a solid wall on the surface of her heart. But she never thought that the layer of defense that she thought was so solid would be destroyed so thoroughly.
Bah bah bah!!! What a joke——!!!
I won't admit this!
I, I clearly haven’t even killed a novice monster! I clearly haven’t done anything like that! Even if I saw others killing dungeons, I didn’t personally participate in that multiplayer dungeon!
8qr6>78I4]2#5F>0z2D81妍,希!中?"转?①';群":.'8"!3:"7:'7:"8'3?'8,5!3委屈,难受,再加上,还不能把这些事情对任何人宣泄的憋屈,这些复杂的情感混杂在了一起,让离开了那家咖啡厅后不久的幽兰黛尔立刻陷入到了一种近似于“恼羞成怒”的状况之中。
Yulandel is the kind of person who sticks to her principles.
Although she became a little angry due to the influence of shame and anger, after reading the inner thoughts of the "store manager" and knowing the whole story of the incident, it was difficult for her to feel angry with the store manager from the bottom of her heart.
The manager of that coffee shop is the rule of the quantum sea itself. He integrates the order of the quantum sea and the world bubble, so that those worlds that should have been as fragile as bubbles will no longer be eroded by the quantum sea itself.
Although this does not mean that the lifespan of the world bubble has become infinite, the lifespan of the world bubble that no longer needs to endure the erosion of the quantum sea has been stretched to a very long distance. For those life forms living in the world bubble, they even have the opportunity to try to extend their footsteps to the outside world by developing the technology and power they already possess in their world bubble.
This is undoubtedly a great cause worthy of everyone's admiration. As a Valkyrie who takes "fighting for all the good in the world" as her own philosophy and puts it into practical action, Yulandel does not mind paying her highest respect to the store manager.
However, it is precisely because that store manager unified the rules of the Quantum Sea...
...The bubble of the world inside his body was completely attracted to the other party uncontrollably.
Moreover, it is completely under the control of the other party's "rules".
If it were just that, Yulandel would not have any complaints. Although she did gain considerable benefits from the world bubble and gained the power to move freely in the quantum sea through this world bubble, in the final analysis, while accepting these powers, she also assumed the responsibility for the life and death of the entire world bubble.
The world bubble was brought under the jurisdiction of the store manager's rules - Yulandel was actually happy about this matter itself, because it meant that even if the world bubble could not accept the "branch" on the "tree" as originally planned, the world bubble would no longer be at risk of bursting.
But the problem is - because the world bubble was integrated with her body, after the world bubble was completely controlled by the store manager, even she... fell into the control of the store manager.
Thoroughly.
Yulandel felt unwell.
But she couldn't be angry with the store manager.
As a result, the anger that was difficult to vent was immediately directed at the Honkai incidents that broke out around the world.
Since leaving the cafe, Yulandel has been annihilating all the Honkai incidents around her, centered on Changkong City. She smashed the Honkai beasts one by one, and twisted the heads of the dead soldiers off one by one. She even accidentally collapsed several buildings on the way. Even Bishop Otto, who was giving orders to them at the headquarters of the Sky, was sweating profusely, wondering if this strongest Valkyrie had entered a rebellious period, and whether she should let Rita comfort her properly...
Exercise is the source of life.
After working non-stop to eliminate most of the Honkai incidents around her, Yulandel's mood finally eased.
Although the current situation where she was completely controlled by the store manager had not changed, but... as long as she stayed away from the store manager, the feeling of being "completely controlled" would not affect her -
——But just when Yulandel, whose mood had eased, had such thoughts, the sudden force imposed on her made her realize that she was wrong, and extremely wrong.
The quantum sea is such a vast area.
As the embodiment of the rules of the Quantum Sea, how could the influence that store manager had on her be blocked by mere physical distance?
Then in the next second, when she realized what the compulsion was forcing her to do, Yulandel's face turned pale.
She didn't understand what the store manager was doing.
But that compulsive force told her that the store manager had started to clear the dungeon again, and because there were too few bosses in the dungeon and the materials dropped were insufficient, he needed another boss to drop more materials.
Along with that came an extremely strong feeling of wanting to rush to the battlefield, which was given to her along with the compulsion.
In less than half a second, in order to meet the other party's request to brush the boss and to complete the other party's subconscious instructions, her body was completely adjusted by the coercive force to the same state as those bosses, and she was ready to accept the manager's decision at any time.
Yulandel is numb.
She was completely numb.
What followed was an indescribable sense of shame and an almost crazy feeling of shame and anger.
No, you clearly just finished a dungeon last night. It's been less than a day, how come you ran out of materials again!
Also! Isn't there a boss in your coffee shop? And there are so many bosses waiting for you to kill them at any time! If you are short of materials, go find them to kill them!!!
But no matter how crazy she was, as the carrier of the world bubble, she was completely controlled by the rules set by the store manager, and she had no way to use her individual will to fight against the coercive force imposed on her.
Therefore, Yulandel had no choice but to fly all the way back to Changkong City without stopping. She knocked out the arrogant man who claimed to severely abuse St. Freya's College, and then leisurely carried Kiana, whose eyeballs had turned into mosquito coils, back to the ground.
"You... Youlandel...?" Seeing Youlandel holding Kiana like a little chicken, Theresa swallowed her saliva, feeling a little guilty, "You... why are you here suddenly?"
To be honest, because she had only known Kiana for a short time, even though she knew from Kiana from another world that Kiana was not the real Kiana, but the Herrscher of the Void created with the genes of the real Kiana, Theresa was still not mentally prepared to face everything.
She looked at Youlan Dai'er's face, which was full of seriousness but seemed to be suppressing something for some reason, and she scratched her head in her heart and thought:
What, what should I do?
Considering that Yulandel regards Honkai as her mortal enemy and has a very strict personality, will she report Kiana's situation directly to the Scheming Headquarters?
If Grandpa knew what happened here, he would probably order Yulandel to take Kiana back by force, right? !
What should I do? Why is Yulandel here? Didn't she just return to the Tianming headquarters with Rita this morning?
Just when Theresa was thinking about how to snatch Kiana back from Yulandel, she suddenly realized that Yulandel didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
After falling back to the ground, Yulandel first nodded to Theresa expressionlessly as a greeting, then came to the door of the Hyperion Café and walked in expressionlessly.
When they saw Yulandel carrying Kiana appear in the cafe, the Valkyries and Herrs standing at the door were stunned.
"Lord You...Lord Youlandel???"
Rita was stunned.
She looked at Youlan Daier who appeared at the door, and a panic expression appeared on her face unconsciously: "Why, why are you here?"
