Chapter 157

The Valkyrie plus Honkai Energy equals 1+1>2, and at worst, it equals 1.5.

However, if you combine mechs with Honkai Energy, then 1+1<1, and it would be best to reach 0.8.

More importantly, once the mechs lose their command, they fall into chaos and fight independently.

The current situation is the best evidence.

Through the devices installed on Bronya, Cocolia could see that these mechs were essentially fighting independently. Effective organization or coordination?

That simply doesn't exist!

Each fought according to its own predetermined procedures.

Ranged mechs are slightly better, as long as they don't hit their own teammates. But melee mechs are practically the best sixth man! No, they're way more awesome than the best sixth man!

The best sixth man is simply someone who feeds a lot, feeding the enemy team until they're fed enough to allow their support to stack Mejai's Soulstealer.

And what about this mech?

Cocolia watched as a mech charged toward her own ranged mech, crashing into it, slamming it into the ground, and then smashing it into scrap metal with a flurry of punches.

The reason for this is that a white-haired creature was using a remote-controlled mech as cover.

This really left Cocolia feeling helpless.

It was as if the K423 had discovered a new continent!

"You can even play like this?!" K423 exclaimed in surprise. "It seems I've completely discovered the weaknesses of these mechs!"

There were simply too many enemies; the Crimson Rose of Ruin could only attack one at a time.

It's completely impossible to achieve the same effect of covering a large area like Kallen.

So there are always one or two who rush in close.

Then it becomes clear who hits whom.

Mechs don't have a hate system. You just need to find a target, lock on, and chase. The rest is just beating them to a pulp.

K423 is naturally among those targeted.

The gun in my hand is like a water gun; it does no harm to others.

K423, being chased and running around aimlessly, had no choice but to hide behind a long-range Thunder Mech. Yes, that's the mech that launches long-range missile attacks.

K423 had noticed this long ago; this mech was practically a sitting duck in close combat.

Aside from stepping on the floor, it has no other abilities.

Just be careful not to get stepped on by this thing, or get hit by the shockwave.

Then, the Titan Mech, which had hidden behind the Thunder Mech, put on a great show of killing her teammates.

'It seems like you can actually play it like that!'

Cecilia was also surprised that she could do this; to be honest, she was quite astonished! Did the programmer forget to write anti-TK code when writing the program?

How can this allow someone to steal a teammate's kill?

That's really awesome!

I'm impressed! I'm impressed!

"Charge!" K423 shouted excitedly after discovering this, "I am the strongest!"

Then they rushed up.

"Ah... that's Spider Mech!" Cecilia exclaimed excitedly as K423 charged toward a Spider Mech, attempting to reenact the TK from just moments ago.

But she seems to have forgotten? The Spider Mech isn't worried about you getting close, it's worried about you running away!

Cecilia watched as K423 excitedly ran up.

I wanted to remind them, but then I stopped.

K423 is just like Kiana; in her character design, she's portrayed as a dimwit who either fails or barely passes exams. But in reality, she's quite intelligent.

Maybe she has other ideas.

Cecilia decided to wait and see how things unfolded.

Anyway, one spider mine is usually not enough to kill a Valkyrie.

If they were that easy to kill, Schicksal would have been dealt with by Adversity long ago.

Cecilia decided to take a look first and see what this K423 was up to.

K423 wasn't that stupid; she knew this four-clawed mech was a self-destructible, extremely dangerous mech. She wanted to stay as far away as possible.

But this time, they did the opposite.

Run as close as you can.

These Spider Mech seemed to have no idea that their enemies would actually close the distance. Following the predetermined procedure, they would catch up and then BOOM!

Since they've come to us of their own accord, we'll accept it.

K423 rushed to the side of the Spider Mech.

Then it stopped moving.

He just stood there like an idiot.

The self-destruction of the Spider Mech takes a short time, though very short, it does indeed take some time before it explodes. The Spider Mech begins executing the self-destruct sequence.

However, the Spider Mech did not expect that there was a Titan Mech right next to it.

Yes, that's the guy who'd even attack his own people when he goes crazy.

The mech also made K423 its primary target, activated its Doomsday Charge, and charged towards K423.

"Wow?!" Cecilia suddenly looked at K423 with newfound respect.

I have to say, he is quite clever.

This girl.

After discovering that the Titan Mech would attack their own, K423 actually used this to his advantage, causing the mechs to fight each other. Actually, it wasn't really a case of fighting each other.

It was just an accidental TK (Team Kill).

But this requires precise timing.

The timing difference between the Spider Mech and the Titan Mech's charge is such that the Titan Mech arrives at the exact same moment the Spider Mech self-destructs. At that moment, the Spider Mech's self-destruction will destroy the Titan Mech.

Conversely, if you detonate it too early, it won't cause any damage; if you detonate it too late, it will be destroyed by the mech.

It all depends on whether we can manage the time difference well.

K423 details are unavailable.

Because Titan wouldn't listen to her, and neither would the Spider; this tactic of using discooperative enemies to achieve a tacit understanding is extremely difficult to execute. The Spider Mech had already entered its self-destruct sequence, but the mech had just begun its charge.

Then...

Thump~

It exploded!

K423 flew away, not blown away by the explosion. She dodged; it seemed she had some kind of plan in mind. Even if she didn't achieve her goal of making the enemies fight each other, she could still enter bullet time after the explosion... well, Time-Space Rift.

K423 didn't really expect the Spider Bomb to blow up the Titan Mech.

However, entering the Time-Space Rift is sufficient.

Upon entering the Time-Space Rift, K423 swiftly charged towards the Titan Mech. Not to engage, but to bypass the charging Titan Mech and run directly towards the Thunder Mech, which had just landed and hadn't yet fully deployed.

They ran to the mech, it deployed, and the impact of the landing had subsided.

At the same time, the Time-Space Rift exits.

The timing of all this was perfect; she had already darted to the side of the Thunder Mech. At the same time, because she had rushed forward too quickly, she became the mech's primary target.

Then...

Cecilia saw a mech battle unfolding over there!

"Oh?" Cecilia watched the mechs fighting amongst themselves; the Thunder Mech was too close to fire. Meanwhile, the Titan Mech seemed to lack a program that prevented it from killing its teammates.

So the fight was incredibly brutal.

It will throw a punch as soon as it feels it can deliver an attack, completely disregarding whether the obstacle is a teammate or an enemy.

Charge forward.

Then...

"Let's go," Cecilia said. "No need to look."

Get it over with as soon as possible.

In reality, the real enemy in this battle was neither these mechs nor those Honkai Beasts.

Instead...

Cecilia didn't intend to think about it anymore.

He led the team forward.

Having roughly grasped the weaknesses of this mech's current movements, operations will be much easier. Let's send K423 out first to further disrupt the already chaotic mech formation.

Then I led the team to deal damage.

Although Bronya, Mei, and Kiana's attacks were hampered by their ineffective weapons.

It feels like it's spewing water, not very powerful.

However, hitting weak points, such as joints, is still somewhat effective.

Cecilia remains the main damage dealer.

And so the group fought their way to the door of the control room.

The gates have all been sealed off, and the mechs here have been cleared out.

"There's no sign of life," Bronya said, scanning through the door. "It looks like everyone in Cambridge is dead."

"Um..."

Cecilia didn't say anything.

Honkai Energy is virtually ubiquitous, and the Honkai index inside the warship is abnormally high. There's practically no safe place left.

Apart from the Valkyrie, no one else could withstand it.

The people inside must have been infected by the Honkai and turned into Honkai zombie or something similar.

"Can you open it?" Cecilia asked.

"It's possible, but it will take a long time." Bronya shook his head and said, "This is the latest encryption program for the Adversity Quotient, Bronya cannot crack it in a short period of time."

Bronya felt that with her intelligence and Rabbit 19C, she could still crack it.

But this takes too long.

They can't wait.

"I understand," Cecilia nodded and said, "Then leave it to me."

"Huh? Is it okay, Mom?" K423 asked curiously.

She didn't seem to have heard that Cecilia was a very skilled hacker.

"Cecilia is impossible." Cecilia took out a pair of glasses from her pocket, put them on, and said, "But MEI is possible."

As soon as she finished speaking, a girl who looked almost exactly like Mei appeared there.

"Ah!!!!!"

A groundhog-like scream echoed from the Sea of Quantum.

"My Mei! My Mei!"
