Cecilia Becomes an S-Rank Valkyrie

Cecilia planted the black and white holy spears into the floor, and the next second countless green vines grew out, forming a plant shield that blocked the Honkai Beast's attack while simultaneously binding and imprisoning it.

She then drew the black battle spear, Black Abyss, hidden inside the Abyss Flower. This spear, imbued with the Herrscher of Death's 'Wither' ability, was a weapon that ordinary people were not even qualified to wield.

However, Cecilia, who possesses the power of the Schariac Stigmata, can wield it as easily as an arm.

After piercing and killing the Emperor-Class Honkai Beast Ganesha in front of her with a single shot, she used the Honkai Beast's corpse as a springboard to launch attacks on four other Emperor-class.

The final battle lasted for half an hour.

With Cecilia's body badly injured and her Honkai Energy nearly depleted, the five Emperor-Class Honkai Beast — Ganesha, Parvati, Ashwa, Gerald, and Vishnu— fought their way out.

They were all killed by Black Abyss and Abyss Flower.

"Clap clap clap clap—!" xN

Loud applause erupted from all around. The young Valkyrie looked at Cecilia with longing and admiration, while the blond man at the head of the group also showed a hint of astonishment in his green eyes.

"Very good. I hereby announce that Valkyrie Cecilia Sanya has successfully passed the S-Rank Valkyrie test. You are the newly promoted S-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal after 36 years."

"This Sixth Divine Key, the Key of Creation, Black Abyss White Flower, will be your weapon from now on. You must use it well and remember your mission—to fight for all that is good in the world."

Otto looked down at Cecilia and breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought to myself that all that money wasn't Abyss Flower.

Cecilia is S-Rank Valkyrie perfectly matches the Black Abyss White Flower. Even in the entire history of Schicksal, her strength is enough to rank among the top three, especially with the addition of the Schariac Blood.

This Saintess of Sanya truly possesses the potential to single-handedly defeat Herrscher- level enemy.

Moreover, Cecilia will continue to grow stronger in the future. If she maintains her current momentum, Otto may have the opportunity to become the second strongest Valkyrie in the entire history of Schicksal.

As for who came in first place?

Otto: (Of course it's Kallen! Ah~ Kallen ~)

This is purely a matter of personal preference.

However, Otto was unaware at this moment that a Golden Goose extraordinary talent and potential would appear in the future, so much so that even with his own selfish motives, he had to admit that she was the strongest S-Rank Valkyrie in history.

"Thank you, Bishop."

Cecilia bowed and then left the training room carrying Black Abyss and Abyss Flower. However, the next second she swayed and almost fell, clearly having reached her limit.

Even with explosive growth and progress, it's still too much of a stretch to be up against five Emperor-Class Honkai Beasts.

Keep in mind that not long ago Cecilia was only able to defeat him in a one-on-one situation.

Moreover, while the Black Abyss White Flower possesses immense power, its consumption of God Keys is unparalleled by ordinary Honkai Energy weapons.

Cecilia was able to pass the test not only because of her own strength, but also because of a lot of luck.

In any case, she has already become S-Rank Valkyrie several years earlier than in the original storyline.

"Cecilia, are you alright?"

Inside the lounge, a white furry ball looked at her best friend with concern and quickly took out medical supplies to treat Cecilia's injuries.

"I'm fine, Theresa. Uh, you don't need to heal me. Once I recover some Honkai Energy, I can use the power of the Black Abyss White Flower to heal myself directly."

"But I can't just leave it alone!"

Theresa said with great heartache, looking at her friend who was covered in bruises and wounds, her expression complicated.

Despite her numerous injuries, Cecilia's beauty was not diminished; instead, they enhanced her regal charm befitting the title of 'Valkyrie'.

After all, battle-damaged gear always looks incredibly cool!

Theresa clearly sensed that her friend had become a different person since that day. Although she was still gentle, beautiful and kind, she had started to work incredibly hard.

It's as if she has found her purpose.

Or rather, it found its 'desire'.

Cecilia increased her daily training volume fivefold, and her progress was even faster than Otto had expected. She passed the S-Rank Valkyrie test in such a short time.

In contrast, the performance of the Kaslana heir, who was also taken back at the same time and is known as the 'Knight' family among the three great families of Schicksal, was simply appalling.

For example, right now, next to the training room where Cecilia is taking her S-Rank Valkyrie test.

A B-rank Schicksal Knight test is underway.

Considering the special nature of the Kaslana family, the difficulty of this test was increased, changing from dealing with three Tank-Class Honkai Beasts to dealing with one Honkai Emperor.

Although the difficulty has been increased significantly, it shouldn't be too much for a fully grown Kaslana Husky to handle, especially with the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment equipped.

However...

Siegfried: "Aaaaaah! You bastard Otto! You just wait! I will never become some kind of Schicksal Knight, I'm not taking this test, give me back my freedom! Damn it! You damn Honkai Beast, don't come any closer—!"

Siegfried was being chased around the training ground by this Honkai Emperor, while giving Otto the international friendship gesture in the stands as he ran.

Otto: "... Amber, close the training room door and send another Emperor-Class Honkai Beast inside."

Amber: "Your Excellency, there's a certain probability of being killed in virtual reality..."

Otto: "That's for ordinary people. Kaslana tough and thick-skinned, she won't die from something like that."

Ever since Otto picked up Siegfried, Otto felt like he was raising a husky at the base. This guy was lazy, always skipped training, and was always trying to escape.

Siegfried once jumped into the sea directly from the Floating Island Schicksal, attempting to swim away across the Mediterranean Sea below. However, upon reaching the shore, he found himself surrounded by a heavily armed Valkyrie squad.

"Even the Kaslana family is too embarrassed to acknowledge Siegfried as their young patriarch. Oh well, let's not talk about that guy anymore." Theresa shook her head.

"Let's talk about you, Cecilia. You've been working way too hard lately. With your talent and potential, you don't need to rush. You'll become S-Rank Valkyrie sooner or later."

"But now you seem to be being urged on by something."

Theresa's eyes were full of worry, but Cecilia simply smiled and shook her head.

At the same time, she raised her hand to touch the head of the white fluffy ball in front of her. Actually, she learned this from Bai Ge. During the seven days they spent together, Cecilia was always being patted on the head by him.

"Don't worry, Theresa, I feel better than ever before because I've found my purpose."

"After becoming S-Rank Valkyrie, the bishop will allow me to go out and carry out missions. Next, as long as the replication experiment of Sanya's Holy Blood is successful, I will be able to go out freely."

Cecilia clenched her fists to encourage herself. She was just one step away from breaking free of her cage and fulfilling her promise.

Theresa's eyes widened in surprise.

She knew her best friend had always longed for the outside world, but never to this extent.

It was as if only the girl's body returned that day; her heart remained outside, or rather, in someone's hands.

"Cecilia, you don't mean..."

"Yes, I've found someone I like outside."

Cecilia said, her cheeks slightly flushed.

The reason she's been working so hard lately is so that she can get out as soon as possible and reunite with that White Youth.

She had never told anyone about this, not even Otto or any of the other Valkyrie, but she would never tell Theresa, her longtime friend.

Cecilia was willing to share her secrets, and... she was also a little eager to show off.

She found the love that would last a lifetime.

For the Sanya family, whose DNA is practically ingrained in their generosity, this is no exaggeration. For them, falling in love with someone else is harder than getting Kaslana to cook a delicious meal.

However, just when Cecilia thought Theresa would surely congratulate her on her happiness.

"No--!!!"

The white fluffy ball let out a loud, mournful cry.

"Theresa?"

"Cecilia's in a relationship! No way! I can't accept that! Waaaaah!!"

As if struck by lightning, Theresa struck a pose reminiscent of the famous painting "The Scream," realizing that her best friend had fallen in love, and not with her.

This white fluffy ball of fur received a critical hit of 10,000 points.

"Cecilia, no! There's not a single good man in this world! Look at Grandpa, look at Siegfried, the former is a big bad guy, and the latter is a big idiot, they can't be trusted at all, you should stay with me!"

Theresa tearfully submitted her lesbian proposal, stating that heterosexual relationships are only for procreation, while same-sex relationships are true love.

"Ah, this..."

Cecilia was both amused and exasperated. She hadn't expected that this white fluffy creature, whom she considered a friend, would try to distort her mind. She couldn't help but push it away a little.

"I'm sorry, Theresa, you're a very nice person, but I only see you as a friend."

"Gurgle!"

Theresa, with her flat chest pressed against Cecilia's "nice guy" card, was dealt another critical blow, causing the white fluffy girl to kneel on the ground in despair.

She already looks like a defeated dog.

"I, I will not give up!!"

Finally, with a defeated howl, Theresa ran away crying, intending to seek revenge on Bai Ge, and, quite forgetfully, she took Oath of Judas with her.

Cecilia's expression was complicated. After hesitating for a while, she decided not to stop him. As the person who was closest to Bai Ge during those seven days, she could sense that the White Youth had no intention of killing the Valkyrie.

As for whether Theresa will hurt Bai Ge... that's less likely than Fu Hua getting all gold in a single 10-pull.

So that afternoon.
