It could even be said that if the real Cecilia were here.

Perhaps she wouldn't have bothered with so much.

It's just that she isn't the real Cecilia, and doesn't have the right to choose forgiveness for others. Of course, precisely because she isn't Cecilia, Li Pu at least doesn't want to get involved in any trouble for the time being.

Especially the Collapse.

"Is that excessive?" Li Pu didn't hold back at all, and could even be said to forcefully state, "When you're fighting on the front lines."

"If a friendly missile buries you and the enemy together, then come and tell me if it's excessive or not."

"If you want me to 'allow' me to forgive these things."

"You'll be struck by lightning! Auntie Himeko!"

'Auntie...' Himeko's mouth twitched. Being confident she could convince Cecilia was one thing, but being verbally attacked was another. She had no intention of tolerating it.

"If we go by age," Himeko said with a stiff smile, "You're quite a bit older than me, aren't you? And you're still young, just twenty this year."

"You're already married, and your daughter is about to become a Valkyrie."

"Auntie, I wouldn't dare act older than you."

"A young maiden like me~"

'I feel offended...' Li Pu's head instantly formed a 'well' shape. She really hadn't expected Himeko's mouth to be so sweet. And if you considered how they met, theoretically or realistically...

She couldn't actually refute it!

"Oh~ I get it, you probably don't have a boyfriend." Li Pu said, courting disaster, "It's obvious you don't."

"But I'm not a matchmaker, and that's not the main issue. The main issue is, please tell me."

"What does this 'great single' want with me?"

Since she didn't intend to get involved in any trouble, Li Pu was naturally happy to continue courting disaster. After all, she wasn't afraid of Himeko actually beating her up.

'Great single...'

Himeko was instantly furious. She realized for the first time just how annoying this person's mouth was!

"There are some things."

She had originally planned to communicate calmly with this person, after all, she could still understand immediately after what happened before. Now, Himeko had no intention of understanding this person at all.

"You should still be a Valkyrie," Himeko said, controlling her emotions with her remaining sanity. "Since you're still a Valkyrie."

"Then please come with me!"

"I!"

"Himeko Murata," Himeko said fiercely, "Really want to know what kind of strength the strongest S-rank Valkyrie back then possessed!"

Her last shred of sanity merely made Himeko realize that directly beating up this foul-mouthed person here would cause her trouble. So, as long as she could drag her to the training grounds.

Everything else could be discussed, everyone was supposed to go all out in 'training' after all~

A few 'stumbles' and suffering a bit of 'minor injury' were all normal.

After all, 'sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime'!

"There are many things," Himeko said, grabbing Li Pu's shoulder without giving her any chance to resist or escape. "I really hope, very much hope."

"To be able to, with the strongest former Valkyrie like yourself."

"Seriously, and wholeheartedly."

"From a physical perspective."

"To seek guidance!"

Chapter Thirty-Six: Oh My God, She's Serious

Every cause has an effect. An unrestrained mouth is the cause, and getting beaten up is the effect.

She thought that by embodying the character of Cecilia, she could speak without restraint, and even offending people with her words wouldn't matter.

Now, she realized it wasn't like that at all!

Some people might ignore and tolerate such unrestrained speech, but some people won't, and might even...

"Are you planning to use official business for personal revenge?"

Dragged to Valkyrie Training Ground No. 125, Li Pu said in despair, "You're definitely planning to use official business for personal revenge, right? Auntie Himeko!"

Valkyrie Training Ground No. 125.

Just as its name suggested, this training ground was specifically for Valkyries.

St. Freya Academy was a place to cultivate Valkyries, and this was naturally a place for Valkyries to train! It would only be put into use after the first batch of Valkyries were selected.

And the first person to use it.

"It's me," Li Pu said, covering her face in despair. "Why am I so unlucky?"

This place...

It was the scene in the game where they fought the "piggy bank" monster! Yes, that model worker pig, Ganesha! A model worker pig often used by Captains to test new weapons and new characters.

"Ah... which Captain or uploader wants to test the new character Cecilia?"

Li Pu complained helplessly, "Can we change locations?"

"The Abyss is also an option," Himeko's voice came through the headset. "If you're willing to challenge the Abyss, I can help you complete it."

"Can we discuss this?" Li Pu quickly pressed the button on his headset. "About this matter."

"You can also choose to spar with me," Himeko said. "Of course, I'll go all out. Actually, I've always wanted to spar with the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal."

Himeko was serious when she said this.

After much consideration, she decided not to personally teach Cecilia, who spoke without restraint, a lesson. The title of Schicksal's strongest was definitely a very intimidating one.

Himeko absolutely did not want to stage a situation where she intended to teach someone a lesson, only to be the one taught a painful lesson.

So, she chose to find someone else.

For example, Ganesha.

"Are we going to face a real Honkai Beast?" Mei asked nervously, looking at the large, round arena that resembled a Roman colosseum. "St. Freya Academy actually has something like this!"

"Although it feels like a joke," Kiana said, not curious but more excited. "Mom will definitely win!"

"Go Mom! Beat that Honkai Beast!"

They already knew about the existence of the Collapse.

For Mei and Kiana, this matter hidden beneath the surface of everyday life was not easy to accept. They thought about the meteor that destroyed the dinosaurs mentioned in school, the great events that caused the fall of ancient civilizations, and some special natural disasters.

All of them were the results of the Collapse.

And their mission, as they were about to become Valkyries, was to resist the Collapse and protect this beautiful world.

Kiana also learned that her mother was once the strongest Valkyrie.

People are sometimes quite simple, and their thoughts can change very quickly.

Once they knew their mother was a Valkyrie and carried out this sacred and great task, their initial incomprehension and grievances vanished.

As for the image of their mother in their hearts, regardless of whether it was well-rounded or not.

At least, it suddenly became grand!

It was like a monument or a goal, giving Kiana the driving force to pursue and admire.

Mei might still have had some trouble accepting it, but the simple Kiana accepted it instantly. She was even a little excited. She had read some sci-fi and fantasy manga before, and now it had become real.

She could also have a special identity and possess magical and powerful abilities.

This was enough to excite the girl who had just turned 16.

"There are Honkai Beasts here too." Compared to Kiana's excitement, Mei was more calm and cautious.

If all of this was true, Mei knew what she had to face and what she had to pay. Never having imagined such a day, she was suddenly facing all of this, and her heart wasn't as excited as Kiana's.

"It shouldn't be a Honkai Beast," Fu Hua said, looking at the person standing on the field. "I don't feel any very obvious Honkai energy here."

"Also, Cecilia feels quite different from the past."

"There are indeed no real Honkai Beasts here," Theresa said. "This is just a simulation training ground, there are no real Honkai Beasts here."

"This is the latest Collapse technology, some special techniques learned from Anti-Entropy."

"Using Honkai energy for simulation, creating a controllable Honkai Beast projection."

"Everything is within the controllable range."

"Even though it's just training, the closer it is to actual combat," Theresa said proudly, "the better the training effect. In the future, you will all face real Honkai Beasts, not these simulated Honkai Beast projections."

"You must study hard and seriously. Such combat scenes might not be common."

"Yes," Mei and Kiana said in unison.

"Anti-Entropy?" Mei always felt that things were a bit subtle. Was this kind of technology, simulated Honkai Beasts, a bit suspicious? But she seemed more interested in the name Honkai Beast.

She felt like she had heard it somewhere before.

"It's a secret organization, and like Schicksal, it shoulders the mission of fighting the Collapse and protecting this world," Theresa explained. "However, Anti-Entropy is different from us. Anti-Entropy doesn't train Valkyries, but manufactures various strange mechs, fighter jets, and even warships to fight Honkai Beasts."

"You will encounter these guys in the future."

"It's starting," Kiana shouted excitedly. "Go Mom!"

'This freaking thing can't be solved by cheering, can it?!' Li Pu nervously looked at the faint black mist that suddenly appeared in the center. Just like in a game, red shockwaves spread outwards from the black mist, circle after circle.

The strong shockwaves made Li Pu's face hurt.

The sky seemed to darken, with thunder and eerie red lightning.

When everything reached its peak and became most terrifying, a strange white creature resembling a pig suddenly burst out of the black mist, performing several backflips in the air before crashing heavily into the arena!

"Rua!!!!!"

A roar shook the heavens and the earth.

"I... I'll be damned..."

Li Pu couldn't help but exclaim, "This... you're freaking serious?"

"Can I... can I..."

"Surrender!!!"

Chapter 37: The Model Pig is a Model Pig

Even though it was just a simulated Honkai Beast...

Even though it was just a simulation...

Its aura was truly terrifying!

The model pig, whose real name was 'Ganesha'. Ganesha's prototype, or rather its name, originated from the "Elephant-headed God" in the Indian mythological system, a deity of wisdom and remover of obstacles, the spiritual son of Shiva and the Snow Goddess Parvati. In Buddhism, it represents a guardian deity, and in other regions, it also signifies the God of Wealth and Destiny.

In short, Ganesha represents good luck, protection, wealth, and wisdom.

But what about now?

The Ganesha standing before Li Pu was neither wise nor protective. It did have a bit of an obstacle-removing quality, but more accurately, it resembled a foolish, savage beast full of power and an extreme desire for destruction. Its massive, cumbersome body made heavy thudding sounds with every step.

'This is much bigger than in the game!!!'

Li Pu stared at the Ganesha before him in terror.

To find a comparable object that was accurate and intuitive, it would probably be a Triceratops! This was a behemoth with a shoulder height of 2.8 meters or more, a length of around 7 meters, and a weight exceeding 10 tons!

Its white, exaggerated tusks looked like they could easily pierce someone with a gentle nudge.

A casual stomp could crush a person into a pulp.

Li Pu panicked, truly panicked. He felt as if he had lost the ability to think. Facing this giant beast, he couldn't come up with any means of resistance.
