"You're telling a Herrscher that you can crush him with your power? Ugh! What kind of a monster are you, man?"
"Remember this lesson and continue to become stronger - if you also want to change your predetermined fate, knock on my head! "
Tianhuo said this indifferently, but it was definitely not a mockery. To Yulandel, it even sounded like he was expecting something.
Then, with a swing of the flaming sword, the girl who had once been able to soar freely in the sky and control natural disasters, fell into the sea like a bird with broken wings, with drops of blood flying around.
"Yulandel...be careful...she's a monster..."
Delta seemed to have used up her last bit of strength to transmit a weak warning through the wind into Yulandel's ears.
"Delta!!!"
Yulandel was just about to leap over and catch the other person's body, when suddenly a bright red light appeared in front of her eyes and a burning breath blew towards her face.
"Bang!!!"
"Gululu!"
Yulandel gulped a few mouthfuls of sea water, shook her head dizzily, and then she realized that she had been knocked into the sea.
If her physique wasn't stronger than that of the Honkai Impact and her armor provided very strong defense, she would have died from just this one blow, right?
Just as Youlandel began to feel scared, she saw the sea water in front of her twisting and boiling. Tianhuo's exquisite but expressionless little face stared at her closely, and then swung the sword.
"Bang!!!"
Relying on the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand, Yulandel barely managed to withstand the attack this time, but the huge impact force still knocked her back into the air.
As expected, the moment he stopped, Tianhuo, with one hand behind his back and the other holding the flaming sword, stopped in front of Youlandel as if he had never moved.
"The Herrschers of this era are far different from those I have experienced, both in terms of power and stance. But you are an excellent warrior, Yulandel."
"With this kind of power and tone, are you Skyfire?"
"I'm."
Tianhuo Gujing replied calmly, without any intention of concealing anything.
That body is much smaller and cuter than humans, but it exudes the calmness and strength of a lofty mountain.
Yulandel frowned, confusion and nervousness intertwined in her mind.
"But you weren't...you weren't like this before..."
"The long wait has aged my body and depleted my energy. In order to continue to perform my duties, I naturally need to make some repairs, and some changes are normal."
"It doesn't matter! What matters is why you do what you do? Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Yulandel was in no mood to reminisce, and swung her musket with a roar.
The scene of Delta falling after being pierced is still clearly frozen in her memory. At this moment, Yulandel is filled with endless anger and confusion.
But in the face of Skyfire, which has the combined power of several clones, the difference in combat power is undoubted.
Tianhuo simply raised the sword with one hand and easily blocked Yulandel's attack.
"A diligent and responsible colleague told me that this is a good opportunity to obtain the Law Gem and it cannot be missed, so I came. Yulandel, I have tested your ability. It is undoubtedly outstanding, but there is still a huge room for growth. You don't need to go through the trial again. Quit now and I won't make it difficult for you."
"Are you kidding me!?"
Yulandel increased the power of her lance and kicked out again, but both were easily taken.
The motionless Skyfire sighed.
"Then feel the pain, remember the pain, and turn it into motivation to move forward. I will wait and see how you perform on the final stage."
As the calm words fell, the flames that had just been extinguished once again illuminated the sky and sea red.
……
Wendy no longer knew what was going through her mind the second before she saw Delta fall into the sea.
At that moment, she couldn't hear anything Theresa and Jizi said, nor did she care about the overall situation. She just jumped into the sea instinctively, and then swam desperately in the direction where Delta fell.
Yaesakura caught up in time and gave Wendy a pair of purple energy butterfly wings.
But even so, Wendy still didn't pick up Delta.
When she arrived, the thin and weak girl was lying on the sea, pushed by the waves, and her blood dyed a large area of the sea red.
"Del...Ta...don't...don't scare me..."
"cough!"
Delta's cough and the blood gushing out of the corner of her mouth woke up the pale-faced Wendy.
Wendy sank into the sea and floated beside Delta. She wanted to reach out and touch her, but was afraid of disturbing the charred wound that pierced her chest.
"Hey, it's Wendy, I'm back..."
"Stop laughing! Stop laughing, idiot!!!"
"Don't panic, I'm a Herrscher, I won't die."
"That's what you said last time! That's what you said when you went to participate in the experiment!"
Obviously, she should be concerned about Delta's injury first, but Wendy just couldn't help it. An uncontrollable rage overwhelmed her rationality and made her almost crazy.
However, this loss of control was short-lived. After Wendy screamed, her concern for Delta still prevailed. She carefully took Delta's hand, tears streaming down her face, and choked:
"I'll take you to get treatment. Just be patient and don't fall asleep."
"It's a bit embarrassing. I've worked overtime for so long, can't I even take a nap?"
"It's already this late and you're still talking to me... Delta, please don't fall asleep, I'm scared..."
Wendy's voice just rose, but as if she was afraid that the sound would aggravate the injury, she quickly lowered it, expressing her prayers and fears.
The red sea and the hideous wounds made Wendy feel extremely terrified.
What if I fall asleep and never open my eyes again?
What if I never opened my eyes again, never spoke to her, never caused her trouble, never played tricks around her? What should I do?
Wendy held Delta's hand and imagined the terrible future. She couldn't imagine the picture, but just such a possibility made her heart and mind so painful that she couldn't think, despair and darkness were all over her.
At the same time, Delta discovered strangely that the gem of desire in her body, which should have been stable, was stirring.
"What the hell! You're trying to hook up with my Wendy!? "
No longer caring about maintaining her character and the plot, Delta reached out and pressed down on Wendy's head in order to calm her down.
Lips touching.
The bitterness and saltiness of the sea water spread in their mouths, but in the absolutely beautiful soft touch, the bitterness and saltiness seemed to be transformed into a sweetness that could not be described in words.
Chapter 195: Never Lie to Salted Fish Tower
"Why should I let you rest your troops here? Because you made a hole in our leader last time, or because you are here to attack me with all your might?"
"..."
Cocolia folded her arms, holding the huge treasure that Theresa had never owned even though she was over 40 years old. Her posture was elegant and her look was arrogant, not giving Theresa any face at all.
Theresa's face turned red with anger, but she was too embarrassed to speak.
Yaesakura stepped out of the stalemate, pulled out the dark and unknown blade, and lightly touched the ground.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
In an instant, shrill system alarms sounded one after another.
Half of the base's automated turrets turned in unison, and with a continuous stream of mechanical refueling, they were all pointed toward the negotiation area on the edge of the base.
"I'm sorry, but these kids really need to rest, and there are injured people, so we have to disturb them."
Yaesakura bowed politely and spoke very politely.
Cocolia looked at the black knife and seemed to have realized something. She said casually:
"Otto has found another great tool."
"You are honored."
"The white line under your feet is the boundary. If you cross it, you will die regardless of life or death."
"Yes, thank you for your magnanimity!"
Yaesakura sheathed her sword, and the base's system returned to normal.
Cocolia turned around and walked calmly towards the depths of the base. Dozens of white giants in the surrounding sky also slowly retreated and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Theresa was left glaring at Walter angrily, conveying her dissatisfaction with her eyes.
Theresa: Help!
Walter: I can't help you.
Theresa: Useless!
Walter: Then I can't help you.
As the leader of Anti-Entropy, openly helping the mortal enemy with whom he had just clashed was somewhat against his position and was detrimental to the unity of the organization. Besides, this was Cocolia's territory!
In Walter's current understanding, Cocolia is undoubtedly a powerful and domineering ruler. Even as the leader of the alliance, Walter is still very confident - if Cocolia doesn't nod, his words here will not be very effective.
Therefore, being able to stay and rest is already the best outcome, and there is really nothing I can do to help in other aspects.
Walter also felt sorry for the savage girls in front of him. After all, many of them were students he had taught before. But in this situation, he could only express sympathy with his eyes.
Theresa probably figured it out. She glanced at the Hyperion next to her, then looked at Walter and signaled with her eyes:
'Were you the one who helped to plug the hole in the bottom of the boat?'
Walter smiled and nodded.
Theresa mouthed "thank you" and then had no time to communicate more as she was busy arranging for the team to rest.
……
When Walter returned to the base and caught up with Cocolia and her group, she was communicating with Einstein.
"Cocolia, did you see something?"
"Combined with the various intelligence I have obtained before, I have reason to believe that it is the divine key that has never appeared in our history - the erosion key."
"Erosion? No wonder they were able to break through our system in an instant. Wait, doesn't this mean that our Titan Legion is no longer a threat to Otto, and could even become his power at any time?"
Einstein was suddenly horrified and felt the hairs on his back stand up.
Cocolia glanced at her and said casually:
"Why are you panicking? First of all, my BTs are special. At least they are not afraid of this kind of power. And weapons are just weapons after all. They are specific targets that can be broken. If Otto really wants to use this thing to deal with me, I naturally have ways to deal with it."
"...It seems that you have hidden more things than I thought."
"Ha! I don't have much stock. I'd have to be crazy to mess with Otto!"
So Einstein stopped asking and even gave Tesla a look to shut up when he opened his mouth to speak.
Although they get along relatively well in general, there are still some barriers and contradictions between the two sides. It is not advisable to ask too many questions about some things, just keep them in mind.
Tesla tilted his head in confusion, but he didn't want to ask any more questions. He was just curious. But that little curiosity was nothing compared to the sweet and soft little Nindy in his arms!
"Hey, hey! Nindy! My little Nindy~~"
……
"oops--"
Wendy came back to her senses from her long period of blankness when she heard Delta's stiffly acted wailing.
"Delta, are you okay?"
"It hurts. I need Wendy's kiss to get better~~"
Delta rested her head on Wendy's lap, yelling, but she didn't even glance at the Valkyrie from the medical team who was treating her wounds.
Wendy looked towards the wound area.
Medical staff were carefully handling the burnt blood clots and cutting open the clothes on the chest. The hideous and horrific penetrating wounds formed a shocking contrast with the surrounding fair skin.
Wendy felt dizzy, and the heartache she had just ignored came back to her body clearly again.
"Delta, bear with it, it's okay, bear with it..."
