She had even changed out of her Chiba Academy uniform today, worried about being recognized.

Perfect! Everything!

After finding a puddle of water and looking at her reflection, Kiana felt she couldn't be any more perfect.

If she was still recognized like this, she'd be truly out of options.

Now, she just needed to find Schicksal's main forces...

"Boom!"

At that very moment, Kiana suddenly heard a roar from a distance.

It was Senior... No.

Realizing the sound wasn't coming from Lin Yu's direction, Kiana breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But soon, thanks to the Kaslana bloodline's powerful physique, Kiana clearly saw what had happened where the roar had erupted.

On the path she had intended to take back, a warship had suddenly appeared in the sky.

Judging by the energy fluctuations emanating from the warship, it had definitely been attacked by something else, which was why its energy shield was fluctuating.

Meanwhile, dozens of semi-humanoid robots had also appeared near the warship.

Watching the two sides exchange fire with a crackle, Kiana was stunned.

That warship... it was the Schicksal Hyperion warship her dad had mentioned, right?

And those robots on the other side were the Anti-Entropy tactical mechs Senior had talked about, right?

She had spent so much time preparing, even cutting her precious hair, and now they were showing her this????

Seriously? The Honkai is happening, Senior is risking his life, and you guys are still fighting amongst yourselves??

Watching the two major factions engage in combat before her, Kiana felt her blood pressure skyrocketing.

Hmph, in the end, humans are just such foolish creatures.

...She felt like she was getting sick from anger.

Sensing she might have heard something she shouldn't have, Kiana looked around suspiciously.

But unfortunately, in the end, she didn't find out who had said that.

Oh well, it was basically impossible to expect the Schicksal people here to save Senior now.

While they're fighting, let me take a look.

Riding on the train, Kiana made a quick decision after a moment of thought.

She'd head to the right.

Senior, you have to hold on.

If you die, I will absolutely not forgive you!

Changkong City

Theresa, who was on a mission in Changkong City, had naturally received the distress call from Himeko.

Upon receiving the message, she immediately prepared to rush back and blow up the Titans that were attacking the Hyperion.

However, just a few minutes after she made her move, she received instructions from Schicksal Headquarters.

"Theresa, I've already dispatched other A-rank Valkyries to support the Hyperion."

"Grandpa?"

Looking at the man on the screen, Theresa said with a suspicious expression.

"Even if Valkyries from other branches are available, they..."

"This mission concerns the Third Honkai Eruption, so of course, I won't let only the Far East Branch fight on the front lines."

Otto said with a serious expression on the screen.

"In fact, over the past few days, I've had a large number of A-rank Valkyries without current assignments prepare to come here for support."

"I just didn't expect those Anti-Entropy guys to dare to attack the Hyperion after triggering the Third Honkai Eruption."

"This is a provocation, but it could also be a stratagem. So Theresa, let the other A-ranks go for support first, and you continue with your mission."

"I suspect those Anti-Entropy people might be trying to lure away you S-ranks with this method, and then cause a major incident within Changkong City."

"...I understand."

As Theresa looked at Otto, she could see a rare seriousness in her grandfather's eyes.

Otto, who was usually so composed, seemed genuinely nervous now—at least, that's how it appeared to Theresa.

"But, Grandpa, you..."

"What about me?"

Looking at Otto's expression, Theresa ultimately swallowed the question that was on her mind.

This matter probably has little to do with Grandpa.

Cocolia caused this. Cocolia made the first move in the war. Grandpa didn't do anything wrong from start to finish...

Sigh, because of Cecilia's matter, Grandpa's trustworthiness in my eyes has been plummeting.

Am I being too biased, always thinking of pinning the blame on him?

"Lord Otto! This is bad!"

Just as Theresa was about to cut off the communication, on the other side of the light screen, Theresa's sister, Amber, suddenly said to Otto in extreme panic.

"The intelligence department just sent a message... Lady Theresa?"

"It's fine, continue," Otto said, slightly narrowing his eyes as he saw Amber hesitate.

"I have nothing to hide from my granddaughter."

"I understand."

"The intelligence department just discovered that the Honkai energy detection system in Changkong City has been restored to a minimally functional state, and then they found something strange."

"The reaction suspected to be the Herrscher of Thunder outside Changkong City has disappeared."

"However, inside Changkong City, two Herrscher reactions have appeared. It's just that one of the Herrscher reactions seems unstable, so they judged that there might be a problem with the detection system. But then..."

As a warrior who participated in the Second Honkai Eruption, Amber said very seriously to Otto.

"I think, along with the awakening of the Herrscher of Thunder, other pseudo-Herrschers might have also awakened."

"After all, last time, the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, created pseudo-Herrschers to slaughter civilians after awakening her power. So I think we can't be careless about this matter."

"A very correct judgment, Amber. So, Theresa, you've heard it too."

Theresa, after hearing Otto and Amber's conversation, immediately said very seriously.

"I understand, Grandpa. I'll handle the Herrschers in the city."

"Good. Amber, send the coordinates to Theresa."

"Theresa, don't disappoint me."

After the light screen disappeared, Theresa took out her communication terminal and saw the coordinates Amber had sent her.

Theresa was still a long distance from where the Hyperion was attacked. In fact, if she rushed back now, her impact wouldn't be that significant.

Moreover, now, a short distance ahead to her left, was the location of the first Herrscher reaction in the city.

There was no other choice, she had to go there first.

Pseudo-Herrschers... Hmph. Even the true Herrscher Sirin almost fell before my Divine Prayer Barrier. Pseudo-Herrschers are no match for me.

Himeko, you must endure. If you use the nexus system again, your life will only be shortened once more.

Anti-Entropy Headquarters

At the Anti-Entropy headquarters, Einstein ultimately did not accompany Tesla to Changkong City.

After calming down, the two realized that one of the leaders had to stay at the Anti-Entropy headquarters to handle any emergencies.

Otto, that scoundrel, was a smart person, and both Tesla and Einstein were aware of this.

Now that Cocolia was causing trouble in Changkong City, knowing Otto's personality, they certainly wouldn't stand by and do nothing about Cocolia's evil deeds.

And if both Tesla and Einstein went, what if...

No need for "what if." Otto had definitely made preparations.

Once Otto discovered that both Tesla and Einstein were on the battlefield, he would definitely take action.

If the Anti-Entropy headquarters were attacked by Otto or other enemies of Anti-Entropy, even if Einstein and Tesla managed to resolve the mess Cocolia created, what could they do if their home base was destroyed?

Damn it, did Otto calculate all of this?

Thinking about what was happening in Changkong City now, Einstein felt her head ache more and more.

Whether Tesla could handle Cocolia was something Einstein couldn't definitively say.

However, just now, their Anti-Entropy detection system had detected a large-scale Honkai outbreak outside Changkong City.

Although this large-scale Honkai outbreak was still different from the super large-scale Honkai outbreak of a Herrscher awakening, the person who could cause this level of Honkai outbreak in Changkong City now, after much thought, could only be Raiden Mei, who had been implanted with a gem.

Mei had already awakened. Even if Tesla could stop Cocolia, she might end up being wiped out by Otto.

Troublesome, so troublesome... Wait, what is this!

While checking the communication channels, preparing to inform Tesla to be careful, Einstein suddenly saw a message record.

Just before Mei's awakening, less than thirty seconds prior, 'Tesla' had contacted Siegfried.

But Tesla at that time shouldn't have had the time to contact Siegfried.

Is this record abnormal...

Einstein's expression grew increasingly grim as she traced the record.

This record wasn't sent by Tesla.

Furthermore, the record explicitly stated that 'Tesla' had sent a message to Siegfried saying 'Raiden Ryoma' was dead…

That statement was too strange, and if Mei heard it…

No, just thirty seconds later, a major Honkai eruption occurred.

This meant Mei definitely heard it, and Siegfried was right beside her at the time!

Siegfried is in danger!

And this record…

As Einstein continued to investigate this record, she felt a flicker of anger ignite within her.

The perpetrator had been thorough, but even the cleanest methods would have flaws when faced with Einstein's suspicion.

After investigating this record, Einstein discovered that someone had exploited a backdoor in Anti-Entropy's message transmission system to hack in.

This incident indicated an extremely serious situation.

Someone had used a backdoor in the organization's information transmission system to cause trouble.

And within the organization, besides Einstein and Tesla, no one else possessed such technology.

Since the two of them were undoubtedly not the culprits, this meant the problem was immense.

This was a collaboration between someone inside the organization and someone outside, who had breached the organization's communication system and directly triggered Raiden Mei's awakening as a Herrscher

Cocolia!
