When They Were Her Hero, Person in Honkai Impact Section 36

"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! You bastard! I'll fight you to the death, die, die—!"

"Wh-What?!"

Otto was greatly shocked. The purple-haired girl he had captured suddenly struggled violently.

Sirin ignored the simulated Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment pressed against her head, even deliberately bumping into the muzzle.

At this moment, she only had one thought.

If I don't want to see him hurt anymore, then I'll protect him!

Sirin, quickly use this cheap, useless life, which he has saved countless times.

Do something for this person!!

It wasn't just Sirin.

Avrora, Agata, and Galina were all the same, struggling desperately to break free of their restraints without regard for their own lives. No, in the eyes of outsiders, it looked no different from seeking death.

Otto, who understood human hearts and nature perfectly, instantly grasped Sirin and the others' thoughts—rather than watch someone important get injured because of them, they would rather die!

Of course, their struggles were futile. How could a Soul Steel body be shaken by a few ordinary girls?

However, that extreme grief, that desperate rage, the will to protect someone important even if it meant dying themselves, caused Otto to hesitate for a full second.

And in that one second.

It was enough for Bai Ge to make his move.

Opportunity, now!

While teleporting Avrora and the others over using spatial transfer, Bai Ge's Ideal Fluid's wind blades instantly severed Otto's Soul Steel arm holding the gun.

The next moment, Bai Ge had snatched Sirin back and simultaneously landed a heavy punch on Otto's Soul Steel face.

The force was so great that it directly caved in his entire face, leaving a deep fist print.

Second update, it's here! Alberle, I've updated! Give me your votes and flowers! Chapter Forty-Four: Schicksal Armory, Honkai Energy Fission Bomb (Seeking support for the new book)

"I didn't expect to be taken down like this. Hmph, hmph, Hahahaha, I really underestimated you all."

Otto was being held by the neck by Bai Ge and dangled in the air.

The Schicksal Bishop who had been so arrogant moments ago was now in such a sorry state that it was hard to believe he was the same person.

Especially that handsome Soul Steel face.

It was now deeply caved into his head, twisted into an ugly shape.

"You will pay the price, Otto."

"Ughhhhhhh!"

The terrifying pain made Otto cry out involuntarily.

His Soul Steel body, which should have had its pain completely severed, now made Otto feel that even excruciating agony couldn't describe the pain. It was as if every cell in his body was undergoing indescribable torture.

This was the Herrscher of Death's authority, the most terrifying of Bai Ge's five authorities when it came to humans.

Bai Ge had instantly imbued this Soul Steel body with biological properties, transforming it from a nanomachinery body into a true human flesh-and-blood body with highly developed pain nerves.

Then, he controlled every cell of this body, making it die and regenerate in the most painful way, a cycle of continuous suffering.

Even the most resolute madman would surely cry out in pain from this torment.

Although the Soul Steel of the Previous Civilization was strong, it could not defy the Herrscher authority.

"This is the Herrscher of Death's authority that you've been longing for. Experience it firsthand. I know you won't die even if this body is gone, but at least... I can torment you properly now."

"Hahahaha, you're welcome, Herrscher of the Void, but don't think this is the end."

Even while experiencing the pain of his cells repeatedly being destroyed, Otto Apocalypse could still manage a smile. At the same time, he glanced at the purple-haired girl behind Bai Ge, Sirin.

If it weren't for this girl's death-seeking struggle, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Otto had experienced setbacks several times in the past, but he never imagined that he would be defeated by such a 14-year-old girl one day.

Otto Apocalypse decided to remember that so-called emotions, especially the emotion of protecting a loved one, could truly unleash miraculous power.

"Cecilia, Siegfried, Theresa, why aren't you acting yet? I order you, in the name of the Schicksal Bishop, to attack the Herrscher of the Void."

"Apologies, Bishop, we refuse."

"People of the Kaslana family would never aid evil. Don't even think about it."

"Grandpa, you're the one who should give up!"

"..."

Otto stared coldly at the three of them.

Cecilia, Siegfried, and Theresa, although his subordinates, were not his puppets and would not obey his every command unconditionally.

"Alright, alright~ If that's the case, then you can all die here with the Herrscher of the Void."

BOOM--!!

As soon as the words left his mouth, Otto destroyed his own Soul Steel body. Although the self-destruction had immense power, it couldn't harm anyone present.

And in the second after his "death."

Otto's consciousness awakened once more.

He reconnected to his Soul Steel body located on Schicksal's floating island and issued an attack order to the Valkyrie forces already stationed in Siberia.

"All Valkyries, listen up! Initiate a full-scale assault on the Herrscher of the Void immediately. They are an apostle of Honkai, the destroyer of humanity, and an enemy we must defeat."

"Furthermore, Cecilia Schanaitt, Siegfried Kaslana, and... Theresa Apocalypse have betrayed Schicksal and defected to Honkai. The latter must be captured alive, while the former two are to be killed on sight."

Otto had already prepared for the battle.

Barely a few seconds passed.

After Otto's self-destruction and retreat, Schicksal's forces took over the battlefield. Over a hundred Schicksal A-rank Valkyries, along with various Schicksal Divine Machines, launched their attack.

Although Cecilia was known as the Saint and held high prestige among the Valkyries, most of these Valkyries were personal guards handpicked by Otto.

Cecilia's reputation couldn't shake them significantly, let alone the mechanical Schicksal Divine Machines.

"Cecilia, Herrscher of the Void, what should we do now? Are we really going to fight these Valkyries?" Siegfried asked, his voice filled with anxiety.

"We can only try not to aim for their vital points. Most of them have been deceived by the Bishop. This is likely a tactic by that person to tie us down using our personalities, but..."

"If it's only this much! No matter how many come, it won't be a problem. After all, we have a Herrscher as our companion now!"

It was indeed as Siegfried said.

Putting him aside, Cecilia and Theresa were S-rank powerhouses of Schicksal, each capable of fighting a hundred enemies. With the Herrscher of the Void, Bai Ge, as their teammate, there was nothing to worry about.

After all, large-scale annihilation was a Herrscher's specialty.

Although these Valkyries had prepared equipment targeting the Herrscher of Death, all equipped with Schicksal's black technology gas masks and combat suits to avoid instant death.

However, Bai Ge could still easily suppress them all with widespread damage, just like at this moment.

"Hurricane, sweep them away!!"

A dozen hundred-meter-tall tornadoes appeared, instantly disrupting the formation of these Valkyries and Divine Machines.

What could hundreds of Valkyries do?

What good were nearly a thousand Divine Machines?

The wind roared, space trembled, flames burned, and deathly fog spread. Even though the Conquest Gem had been stripped away and not yet re-integrated, with a full four divine powers, Bai Ge was still an invincible existence in the current version.

Not to mention, Bella was also equivalent to Herrscher-level combat power. At this moment, she had transformed back into her dragon-form Honkai Beast state, unleashing Honkai Energy breaths, dragon claws, dive attacks, and tail sweeps.

The power of a Judgment-class, near-Finality-class Honkai Beast shocked everyone.

"How is this possible? Is this a Herrscher?"

"We can't win at all, damn it."

"Even Lady Cecilia and the others have betrayed us."

"Does the Bishop have any other tricks up his sleeve?"

These Valkyries felt as insignificant as ants. In front of a true Herrscher, A-rank Valkyries were no different from D-rank Valkyries.

They could only place their hopes on their leader.

And Otto, of course, would 'not disappoint.'

These hundreds of A-rank Valkyries and nearly a thousand Divine Machines, a force that likely represented one-fifth of Schicksal's entire combat strength, were merely pawns in Otto Apocalypse's eyes.

They were just expendable pieces to stall Bai Ge, allowing his true trump card to arrive.

"Honkai Energy Fission Bomb, all missiles launched!"

"Schicksal First, Second, and Third Armories, all missile launch procedures activated!"

"Target range, Siberia coordinates XX, XX, XX, all missiles set to controlled detonation!"

Thousands of missiles rained down from the sky.
