Even though the huge gap in technological levels prevented secular countries from discovering anything through technical means, the pursuit team would always pass through the town, so a considerable number of major countries with advanced intelligence means had noticed some clues one after another.
Europe consulted destiny.
America probes Anti-Entropy Headquarters.
In Asia, we are mainly inquiring about the situation with Cocolia and Theresa.
Unfortunately, no one cares about the concerns of secular society.
The fate of the Serenity Stone is destined to be determined by an unprecedented large-scale conflict. At this moment, there are only three protagonists on this planet - Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and the World Serpent.
Not to mention the anxiety and helplessness of secular countries.
Walter arrived at the snowfield at dawn. At this time, the satellite images had already been interfered with by destiny and could not be used in a short time, so he directly produced a large number of drones to search for traces of the escape.
At the same time when Walter made his move, in the other corner of the snowfield, the Mechas and Valkyrie troops chasing Kerla landed one after another to adjust their status and recuperate.
And at the front, the wounded silver-helmeted warrior was imprisoned by an invisible force, hanging in the air, unable to move.
"Oh my god, who is this guy? He escaped all the way from the Mediterranean Sea to this place. Are you letting him go on purpose?"
Delta walked steadily on tiptoe to the front of the pursuit team, yawning and asking nonchalantly.
"Lady Delta, we are... so ashamed!"
The leading Valkyrie stood up in shame.
To be honest, they also want to curse their mother.
They were just a few Titans, and at most they flew faster, but their firepower was nothing to mention. However, these iron lumps were more cunning and stubborn than the last, splitting up, circling, harassing, and engaging in guerrilla warfare. No matter how many attacks they endured, no one retreated or fell behind. So far, all the targets they pursued had delayed the enemy's steps by the most devastating self-explosion.
Their main opponents have always been the Death Soldiers and the Honkai Beasts, and occasionally those sinners who have touched the Honkai energy, but they are all pitifully weak and have no ability to fight back in front of the Valkyries.
The Valkyries had faced this unique opponent many times, but they really couldn't hate him.
Therefore, in front of Delta who stopped Kerla, the Valkyries with complicated emotions didn't care that they were taken advantage of by Delta, and they just felt ashamed.
Delta raised her eyebrows and waved her hand, signaling the Valkyries to rest where they were, and then she floated in front of Kelramian.
"My great big sister, let's make a deal. Give me the gemstone and let me finish my business trip. Then I'll give you a favor and let you go. How about that?"
"..."
"Don't be silent. I'm a trustworthy person. People who know me say that I've been very stubborn for a long time. It's not a dereliction of duty if I return empty-handed. Besides, there are so many people watching. I don't want to make things too bloody. Can we just keep peace?"
"There's nothing much to say. We have different positions. Just kill me."
Kerla's hoarse voice came from the closed and scarred exoskeleton mecha.
Delta sighed, raised her hand, compressed the air pressure, and a sound of metal twisting came from Kerla's mecha.
On the snow, the Valkyries turned their heads away one after another, not wanting to see the bloody end of this enemy who was so stubborn that they were convinced by him.
"call out!"
Suddenly, a laser beam came from a distance and hit Delta. The residual beam melted the ice and snow and the land, leaving a series of dark holes in the ground.
Delta had an ideal fluid barrier, so she wasn't hurt, not even her hair was messed up. She frowned, looked at Walter falling from the sky, and said in a weak voice:
"Uncle, you are not here to seek revenge on me, are you? To be honest, every wrong has its perpetrator. At worst, I can point you in the direction of Bishop Otto. Can you let me go?"
"No, I'm just here to save people."
"Then let's discuss it. You can take the person away, but can you leave the gem behind? I don't want to work overtime. I want to go back to the Oceania branch and sleep."
"..."
Walter choked.
After she opened up to him last time in the East China Sea, he had been paying attention to Delta's information and had roughly found out that she was a lazy person, but he didn't expect that she would be so careless.
Could it be a deliberate disguise to make people let down their guard?
"Our situation is extremely special. To some extent, I can be considered your predecessor. I am somewhat curious, what kind of willpower did you rely on to defeat the temptation of collapse?"
"Because destroying the world is too tiring, I'm too lazy to do it. If I had that time, I'd rather watch Wendy get excited."
"…I don't understand why, but I think Wendy-san must be distressed."
"Huh? How is that possible? We are best friends and agreed to put our ashes in the same urn. Senior, please give me an answer as soon as possible. Please give me the gem and I will not be responsible for anything else."
Delta showed an expectant look in her eyes, which was so genuine that it was almost as if "I don't want to work" was written on her face.
The corners of Walter's mouth twitched. As a human Herrscher, he could sense a generation gap with this younger generation.
However, after carefully examining the scene, Walter found that it seemed that it would not be a problem to take away a piece of the gem.
Although Otto will definitely get angry later, isn't there still the World Serpent to take the blame?
Honestly speaking, Walter was not very willing to put such a dangerous item as the Serenity Gem into the hands of the even more dangerous Otto.
If possible, it would be a good idea to have Anti-Entropy keep this gem.
The Herrscher of Reason, with a serious face, stared at the Herrscher of Wind, with a reluctant face. The air gradually solidified in silence, and the atmosphere gradually became sinister.
Chapter 188: Can't Think of a Title
"Bang!!!"
Thunder struck out of nowhere on the snowfield, and the violent explosion melted all the snow within a hundred meters. The aftermath spread outward in circles, dispersing the Valkyrie and Mecha camps that were resting in the rear.
Walter stood on the shoulders of the giant Alahato robot he had manifested and retreated backwards.
Theoretically, Walter, who took the initiative, should have a certain advantage.
However, Delta, covered in a layer of ideal fluid, is like an iron-shell turtle that ignores physical attacks.
So Walter didn't think of using this trick to make Delta flustered. He just wanted to rush away the group of pursuers who were eyeing him eagerly and create a chance for Kerla to escape.
"Kerla, now is the time... huh?"
He actually escaped!
Walter looked at the pale mecha, which, with the help of the thruster's tail flame, had already gone several miles away and was even accelerating away. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should have an exclamation mark or a question mark over his head.
But soon, he laughed and shook his head.
"Smart."
Yes, it's smart, not betrayal.
The only people who can decide the situation here are Walter and Delta. The level gap between the others and them is huge. It is obviously wiser to take the gems and serum and rush to the East China Sea Base.
Walter already admired Kerla's tenacity, and he was even more relieved when he found that she was able to remain calm and rational after being hunted for such a long time.
"It should be reused..."
Walter muttered to himself, turned around, and saw Delta flying out of the burning dust as if nothing had happened.
"Senior, do you mean to embarrass me?"
"I'm helpless too, but this is a rare opportunity. Maybe we can use this opportunity to have a conversation. After all, people like you and me are rare."
"I'm a little angry. I didn't want to bother with this, but if I go back empty-handed, Wendy will definitely start nagging me again."
"It's a blessing to have such a friend. I'm so happy to have such a friend!"
Walter smiled.
He saw a similar situation with Joyce in Delta. They both had friends with whom they could confide their hearts and trust everything. This irreplaceable emotion was the key to defeating the broken will with humanity.
But emotion cannot change the contradictory facts.
As soon as Delta raised her little hand, Walter felt the fatal threat.
"—"
It was a silent attack.
Walter controlled Alahato and threw himself to the side. When he looked back, his robot had been shattered, along with the huge snow mountain behind it.
"The ultimate physical defense, and the ultimate physical attack power, your power is really terrifying."
Walter sighed as countless floating guns materialized in the sky.
At the same time, the projection of the Star of Eden slowly materialized in his hands.
Through the Battle of the East China Sea, Walter realized that to deal with Delta, what is needed is the ability to ignore physical barriers - such as the ubiquitous gravity field.
"I'm more experienced in this area than Nindy. You better be careful, Delta."
"The newbie benefit of the first encounter is already claimed by the little sister. Now it's gone. You don't think I'll just stand there and take the attack, do you? Senior, gravity can distort my body, but my fluid threads can also cut you into pieces. Let's see who's faster?"
Delta raised her ten fingers, and the faintly visible silk threads floated in the air along with her dangerously cute smile.
Walter sneered, but his eyes became serious.
Restraint is mutual. What matters between lawmakers is who can exercise power better, and absolute restraint is difficult to achieve.
This battle has to be fought!
……
In the Vladivostok Strait, golden and pink light just passed the boundary between land and sea.
Yulandel suddenly frowned while flying.
"The leader of Anti-Entropy has appeared and stopped Delta. Now Tieqi, who has taken the gem, is escaping in the snow. The satellite map cannot accurately capture her position, and the energy fluctuations of the gem are also obscured... Sakura, let's turn around and go directly to Anti-Entropy East Sea Base."
"Sit back and wait?"
"Yes. It would be too difficult to search such a large area. It would be better to go directly to her destination and wait for her to come up on her own."
"Doesn't Miss Delta need support?"
Yaesakura asked with some concern.
Yulandel was actually a little hesitant, but finally said:
"This is the order of the Bishop. As for the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, I believe Delta is capable of dealing with him. Even if Delta is defeated, given the leader's style, I don't think we need to worry about her safety."
"Well, since that's what Mr. Otto wants, let's go."
"Sakura, be prepared. We're going to face a tough battle there."
“I will try my best not to fall behind.”
Yaesakura said somewhat unconfidently.
Yulandel turned her head and looked at the fox-eared witch who was traveling with her, and gave her an encouraging smile.
"Sakura, you are very strong, but you have no experience in war. So be confident, I believe you will surprise our enemies."
"That's what Mr. Otto encouraged me to do, I hope."
Yaesakura forced a smile, and her delicate and lovely face slowly revealed a bit of strength.
……
At the same time, the Hyperion, which had just been anchored for a short time, was once again sailing in the sky over the East China Sea.
Still the same route, still the same goal.
Theresa stood at the front of the bridge, carrying a huge golden cross on her back, with her arms folded across her chest. She looked dignified, but she sighed with exhaustion.
This reluctance was partly due to the fact that the headquarters had not yet made a final decision, but more of it was due to not wanting to go to war with Anti-Entropy.
"Can't Cocolia be more obedient? It's only been a short while since the incident in Changkong City, and now she's going to the headquarters to steal the Lawrence Gem. What else does she want to do tomorrow? Blow up the moon in the sky?"
"Bronya just asked Nindy and Xing, and they said it was because Cocolia's mother wanted to complete the last step of the X-10 experiment. I heard that she recently adopted a sister, and her brother was severely infected by Honkai energy and will not survive for a few more days. Maybe her mother is worried again."
"Even if it's to save people... Well, to be honest, if her experiment can really save patients who have been corroded by Houkai energy, I will support her psychologically. But you know, I am first and foremost the Valkyrie of Destiny, the head of the Far East Branch, I have no choice."
"Bronya understands."
Because of the conflict with Cocolia, Bronya had to ask to go with them. Theresa also hoped to find an opportunity to avoid the conflict, so she agreed after some hesitation.
Then An Qi also decisively asked to go along. Her reason was very good. She was already the ace of the Far East Branch in terms of combat power. There was no reason not to take her with us in this war.
Naturally, Kiana also clamored to follow, and so did Raiden Mei, but they were suppressed by Theresa - since they were not Cocolia's daughters and did not have the fighting power of Angel, were they going to die?
This is not the last time they fought against Chiyou, and they could still gain experience on the battlefield. This time it was a direct war over the Serenity Gem. Although the threat to the human world was less serious, it was more deadly to the two rookie students and could not be taken lightly.
Therefore, Fu Hua was forced to stay in Saint Freya. She did not receive Otto's order to join the war, and her mission was only to protect and monitor Kiana.
Theresa and Bronya were both looking at the sea with melancholy, and suddenly they caught a familiar voice coming from far away, so they shut their mouths and said nothing.
