Chapter 191

Theresa was truly speechless. This guy was actually bragging to others. Was he a child? This was not something to brag about at all. It seemed like Shen Gonglin and Rosaria got along quite well, since they were both equally childish. These two idiots... Theresa was truly speechless. The two of them were just idiots.

"Wait a minute, Ms. Theresa, what does this have to do with me? Don't push Shen Gonglin over here... Shen Gonglin, don't flick it, it will hurt your leg... I already said don't flick it!"

Looking at the chaos before her, Bronya sighed softly, thinking that she should probably get a leg ring to wear sometime in the future.

Chapter 114 Get One for Yourself Too

Seeing that her good-for-nothing older sister was still thinking of showing off, Liliya quickly grabbed Rosaria's tail. Rosaria was such an idiot. If Lilia hadn't been there to help her all along, she would have died of stupidity sooner or later.

"Rosaria, don't say things you shouldn't. I'll go back and tell my mother, and she'll punish you by pulling your tail."

This should be a very secretive matter, not something Rosaria could talk nonsense about. However, Liliya still looked at Theresa with considerable surprise. Did this little girl also have Honkai Beast inside her? Then why didn't she have a tail? How pitiful.

"Huh? Rosaria, don't tell Mom... And you're already pulling my tail, don't do that, my tail is very sensitive... I'm sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything, it's our secret, please don't ask too many questions. That's enough of the introductions, Doctor, let's get going."

It seems that the so-called punishment of having one's tail pulled is quite intimidating to Rosaria. As soon as she heard Liliya say that, Rosaria immediately became a little scared. She covered her mouth and desperately tried to change the subject. Her mother had clearly said that she shouldn't talk about tails with others, so how did she end up saying it again? It was just an accident.

"Stop playing, it's all red. If you want one, I'll get you one later... not this one on my leg, don't take it off... Hmm? Let's go now? Where's our destination?"

Dr. Einstein is struggling with Shen Gonglin. This willful and capricious guy seems to have developed a strong interest in Einstein's leg ring again. He's squatting down next to Einstein's legs and flicking the leg ring again and again. No matter how Einstein tries to stop him, it's no use. Shen Gonglin's behavior is clearly a consequence of being spoiled by St. Freya and her group. Does he think he's like those Valkyrie who pamper him to the skies...? Why are these people just watching and not willing to come and help?

Einstein tightened the leather straps on his legs that were about to be removed by Shen Gonglin, barely ignoring Shen Gonglin as he looked at Rosaria and Liliya. Now that this guy was clearly interested, there was no point in interfering anymore. He had to treat Shen Gonglin with a normal attitude. As long as he ignored him, he believed that Rin Jingu would eventually get bored and give up.

"You should know the exact coordinates of Sea Abyss City, Dr. Einstein."

Liliya answered Einstein's question, while the blue-haired girl tilted her head and looked curiously at Shen Gonglin, who was squatting beside Einstein's legs. Were Dr. Einstein and Shen Gonglin really that close? Shouldn't Dr. Tesla be closer to him? It's really puzzling.

"I understand. Let's go back to the Hyperion then, Ms. Theresa, and Bronya. I'll explain the details later... And you, stop playing around. Here, take it, okay? Are you happy now?"

Feeling itchy on his legs, Einstein, unusually exasperated, took off the leg rings and gave them to Shen Gonglin. Hopefully, this would stop him from getting handsy. It's really baffling; what does this guy mean by this? And why did he tie them back up for me? Shen Gonglin's thought process is completely unpredictable.

"What would I do with this? It's obviously for women only. Wearing it on me won't increase my attack speed or critical hit rate. It's more suitable for you to wear it on your leg, Ai Yin. Make sure you wear it properly. I feel it suits you very well."

Shen Gonglin patted Einstein's leg with satisfaction as she re-fastened the leg ring. Her leg was round and slender, looking very healthy, and with the leather leg ring, well, it was simply perfect.

When I get back, I must get myself a leg ring too.

Seeing this scene, not only Bronya, but even Theresa had the same little thought. We're all girls, is it abnormal to want to look prettier?

"Next, we will be heading to the Previous Era ruins guarded by Anti-Entropy, Sea Abyss City. I apologize for not telling you about this place in detail before. I didn't mean to hide its existence, but even for Anti-Entropy, it is a secret among secrets."

Back on the Hyperion, Einstein deliberately chose a spot furthest from Shen Gonglin to begin introducing their destination. Under the table, where no one could see, Einstein discreetly rubbed his leg. That unlucky Rin Shen Gonglin had bled it raw; the guy seemed quite interested in his leg ring now. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing... He'd wanted to take it off and give it to him, but Rin had tied it back on. So annoying!

"It's alright. Everyone has a few of these ruins, big and small. It's normal not to mention them. So, are we going to some small island in the sea now?"

Theresa shook her head. She didn't care about such things. The little principal's words revealed the demeanor of a wealthy family. After all, she was Otto's granddaughter and the current head of the Apocalypse family. Even though she had broken away from Schicksal, she still knew many of Schicksal's secrets, such as the countless things like the ruins of Previous Era. So it was really normal for Anti-Entropy to have such things as well.

"No, it may be hard to believe, but the Sea Abyss City we are heading to now is underwater. Ms. Theresa, the Hyperion should also have an underwater mode, right?"

Einstein quietly shook her head. She looked out the window at the sea, her gaze seemingly piercing through the water to see the beautiful city beneath the deep sea, Sea Abyss City. She hadn't expected this place to be exposed as well. Was it a coincidence? Why would Cocolia choose this place to deal with that Vixen? She really couldn't be at ease for even a moment.

"The seabed? I never expected it to be like this... Of course, the Hyperion has an underwater mode. Everyone, hurry up, it seems we're going on a deep-sea voyage."

It was truly unexpected that things would turn out this way, but it didn't matter. Since we were already here, we had to face whatever came our way. Theresa pressed a few buttons on the control panel, and a sound came from inside the Hyperion. For this warship, nothing was impossible.

"Really, it went down..."

Before she could say anything, Shen Gonglin felt as if the sea level was rising—no, it was as if they were falling. They could fly and dive; they were truly worthy of being her ship.

Chapter 115 Thalassemia

"At 11°20.9′N 142°11.5′E, 6152 meters below sea level, lies the Previous Era site discovered by Anti-Entropy, Sea Abyss City."

The Hyperion descended slowly, and after a brief period of darkness, a magnificent blue castle appeared before the Hyperion's crew. Standing by the window, Einstein introduced this secret outpost of Anti-Entropy to those behind him, while Theresa and the others, pressed against the window, gazed in amazement at the schools of fish swimming outside. Their relaxed demeanor made Einstein shake his head helplessly. They were about to deal with that Vixen Cocolia, how could they not be nervous...?

No, it seems there's someone who's more composed.

Einstein noticed Shen Gonglin and was quite surprised. How could this guy, with his lively personality, be sitting so calmly and quietly? At this moment, Shen Gonglin was sitting motionless in the command seat, and even his cute little face was filled with a solemn expression. What was wrong with him? Did he realize that the upcoming operation would not be peaceful?

"Shen Gonglin, are you afraid of the deep sea?"

Realizing something, Einstein approached Shen Gonglin and asked, "It's certainly possible. Otherwise, given Shen Gonglin's personality, why would she be sitting here so calmly without saying a word? Based on his information about her fear of heights, it's not entirely unacceptable that Shen Gonglin is afraid of water or the deep sea."

"It's not that I'm afraid of the deep sea, it's just that I'm a little uncomfortable and can't accept it. I'm fine."

Shen Gonglin looked very nervous. He was indeed afraid of water, and it seemed like he had some kind of thalassophobia. But given his personality, how could he possibly admit it? He had felt unwell when the Hyperion was diving earlier, and now he dared not look out. He was afraid of heights, afraid of water, and afraid of pain. That was Shen Gonglin.

"... This is what fear means. Relax, take a deep breath, it's okay."

Einstein was slightly speechless. This was clearly a sign of fear. He hadn't expected Shen Gonglin to show such an expression. She was always the one being bullied. Einstein found it quite novel to see Shen Gonglin like this now. To be able to scare this guy like this, this trip was definitely worthwhile.

"I've already tried everything... Aiyin, can I sleep for a while? I feel really unwell and I feel like throwing up."

Shen Gonglin had already tried deep breathing and other methods. His physique was not as good as Valkyrie like Bronya and Theresa, who could adapt to the environment perfectly, but he couldn't. And now it seemed that Shen Gonglin's physique was even worse than that of Einstein, a scientist. No, as he descended deeper, Shen Gonglin felt increasingly uncomfortable. Although the Hyperion was perfect, the pressure of diving still had some effect, and Shen Gonglin couldn't handle it.

"I'll let you sleep for a while... Okay, come on up."

Was this guy deliberately teasing him? Looking at Shen Gonglin's face, Einstein dismissed the possibility. This guy probably wasn't in the mood for jokes right now. After hesitating for a moment, Einstein sat down in the chair and pointed to his leg. Tesla wasn't here, so he'd just take care of Shen Gonglin for her sake. Seeing how uncomfortable he looked, Einstein, who had initially felt a bit of pleasure, now felt a little reluctant.

"Hmm, thank you... Phew, that feels much better."

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Gonglin tilted her head and lay down on Einstein's lap, her cheek pressed against the beautiful professor's smooth legs. This sensation finally allowed Shen Gonglin to shift her attention. She let out a long sigh of relief and closed her eyes. This feeling reminded her of when she was with her Class President, who would often give in to her coaxing and pleading, offering her her lap as a pillow. This feeling was truly reassuring.

"It's good that you're comfortable. This feeling is quite common. The Hyperion has an automatic adjustment function, and so does Sea Abyss City. The environment is similar to that on land. You'll get used to it in a little while. Now, rest well. Who knows what we'll encounter later? Take a good rest and enjoy the city later. Judging from its appearance alone, Sea Abyss City is top-notch, Temoanakino."

Soothing Shen Gonglin, who was lying on his lap, Einstein turned to look out the window at the city. A strange light shone in Einstein eyes. This castle... Einstein also had a special feeling for this city. Cocolia have some deeper meaning in choosing this place? The closer they got to the meeting, the more uneasy she felt. It seemed that this trip to Sea Abyss City would not be peaceful. Shen Gonglin couldn't continue in this state; he had to recover as soon as possible.

"Shen Gonglin, are you feeling unwell? Would you like some bitter melon juice? Drinking some of that should make you feel better."

Seeing Shen Gonglin lying on Einstein's lap, Theresa, who had been admiring the view outside the window, also ran over. The headmistress felt a little guilty. As the headmistress, she should have thought about taking care of her students' health. Shen Gonglin's constitution was different from theirs, the Valkyrie. It was normal for him to feel uncomfortable after diving to such a depth. Theresa held the bitter melon juice she was drinking to Shen Gonglin's lips, saying that drinking some of this was really good for his health.

"Ugh... Theresa, move this away. Even if you poison me, this Hyperion won't be yours. This was given to me by Himeko ... Bronya, I want some orange juice."

Upon smelling the bitter melon juice, Shen Gonglin couldn't stand it. She really didn't understand why Theresa liked this kind of thing. Shen Gonglin had never met anyone else who liked bitter melon juice. Shouldn't ordinary girls like to drink sweet things? Shen Gonglin felt that if she actually drank this bitter melon juice, she would probably die on the spot. She just couldn't stand this stuff. Shen Gonglin then took a liking to the orange juice that Bronya was drinking. It looked much better than Theresa's bitter melon juice.

"Poison you? Hey, hey, hey, Shen Gonglin, why do you say that? This tastes really good! Drinking more of this is good for your health. Drink some, you'll definitely like the taste."

When her favorite thing was criticized, Theresa was very unhappy and continued to recommend her bitter melon juice. What a bunch of clueless little people! It tastes really good.

Chapter 116 Bitter Melon Juice and Orange Juice

"Is drinking this good for your health?" Shen Gonglin glanced at Theresa's bitter melon juice and secretly curled his lip. There are many things that are good for the body, do you have to try every little detail? Compared to being good for the body, Shen Gonglin felt that being good for the mouth was better. He chewed on the straw and drank orange juice, looking down on Theresa's bitter melon juice. Whoever wants to drink this can drink it, but Shen Gonglin would definitely not try it.

"Alright, Headmistress, don't be angry with Shen Gonglin anymore."

Bronya tried to comfort Theresa, seeing how upset Shen Gonglin was, and knew she couldn't let Theresa bother him. It seemed she understood Shen Gonglin; he was a sweet tooth, usually enjoying cakes and sweet and sour things, but for serious meals he preferred savory dishes. He was less accepting of sweet meals, and his drinks had to be 100% sweet—a fact known to everyone in the St. Freya girls' dormitory.

"Hmph, Bronya, you're definitely not angry, after all, this guy drank your water... Forget it, I don't care about that kind of thing... Wow, from this angle, Sea Abyss City looks so beautiful and magnificent. Although I've seen several ruins from Previous Era, this is the first time I've seen Sea Abyss City so well-preserved. It's as if it has never been damaged at all."

Theresa couldn't sell her bitter melon juice to Shen Gonglin, so she pouted helplessly. She genuinely thought it tasted quite good. It seemed that Shen Gonglin and Bronya were still just children after all, and only an adult like herself could appreciate the bitter truths of life... But it seemed that other mature adults drank tea? But that didn't matter. Tea was bitter, and bitter melon juice was bitter too, so all things considered, drinking bitter melon juice was the same as drinking tea—both were signs of a mature adult.

Theresa's mood improved easily, and she didn't want to talk to that idiot Shen Gonglin anymore. The headmistress continued to admire the entire view of Sea Abyss City by looking through the glass. There were several ruins of Previous Era in Schicksal, but none of them were as well preserved as Sea Abyss City. This city is so beautiful.

"Although it's perfect now... for the past few months, Schicksal has been tracking the Gem of Desire. Anti-Entropy bases all over the world have been attacked, and the number of enemies is increasing. In order to protect the gem, Mom had no choice but to hide Gem of Desire here. Now, this is the only place that can protect the gem."

Rosaria and Theresa leaned against the window together, Liliya spirits somewhat low. For some time now, they had been working with Mother Cocolia. Schicksal's forces were like flies, omnipresent. They would be attacked and forced to relocate almost every time they arrived at a new base, barely having a few days of peace before being forced to move. Now they had finally arrived at this secret base of Anti-Entropy, and they hoped they could stay here a little longer.

"Then just hand over the Gem of Desire to me, and that way the target of Schicksal will be us. Besides, I'm actually quite curious about this thing. Rosaria, how about we discuss this? If Cocolia isn't willing to hand over the gem obediently, you can just secretly steal it for me, okay? Keeping this thing here will only bring you trouble."

After drinking a few sips of orange juice, feeling much better, Shen Gonglin climbed off Einstein's lap. He quietly walked behind Rosaria and secretly stepped on her tail. He had been eyeing that wagging tail for a while, like seeing a cat with a cat toy, but unfortunately he wasn't feeling well and couldn't get over. Now he finally got his wish; was that tail wagging just to be stepped on?

"Ouch! Shen Gonglin, don't step on my tail, you've gotten it dirty... Even if you were Rosaria's first kiss, Rosaria wouldn't agree to this. This is something Mom worked so hard to snatch from you, I can't side with outsiders... Don't look at me like that. Besides, I don't know where Mom hid the Gem of Desire. Even if I wanted to steal it, I wouldn't know where to go. You should ask Liliya for this, she can definitely do it."

Shen Gonglin's weight wouldn't hurt Rosaria's tail, but it still gave her goosebumps. Her tail was very sensitive, and besides, it wasn't something anyone could just step on. Rosaria glared at Shen Gonglin and carefully took out a handkerchief to gently wipe her tail. What was this guy talking about? He was actually encouraging his well-behaved daughter to steal from her mother Shen Gonglin was like one of those bad boys on TV—so wicked! And he was looking at her with that irresistible gaze...

Rosaria, unable to bear Shen Gonglin's gaze, shifted the blame to Liliya, telling her to steal it. That way, even if her mother got angry, she wouldn't target her. She and Liliya really had a deep sisterly bond.

"Liliya objects. Liliya and Shen Gonglin have no relationship. After all, Liliya didn't take Shen Gonglin's first kiss. If you want Liliya to do such a thing, then you have to give Liliya and Rosaria the same treatment. For example, you have to let Liliya also forcefully kiss Shen Gonglin. Only then is there any possibility of negotiation. However, Shen Gonglin's first kiss has already been taken by Rosaria, so we can only win in terms of quantity. Hmm... Liliya did a little calculation and it's about 312 kisses before we can talk about this."

Faced with her sister's attempt to shift the blame, Liliya naturally protested. It was Rosaria who was on good terms with Shen Gonglin, not herself. If she wanted Lilia to do something, she would have to give something in return. Rosaria always boasted about defeating the S-rank of Schicksal, so Liliya would have to conquer Shen Gonglin as well. Three hundred and twelve times should be enough.

"You two... shut up! How long are you going to keep bringing this up?"

Hearing the sisters' words, Shen Gonglin's face grew increasingly dark under Theresa's gaze. This was something she had already labeled as her dark history, yet these two were talking about it as if it were just casual conversation during dinner. These two idiots were practically asking for trouble! Shen Gonglin clenched her fists and started pounding them on the heads. She shouldn't have bothered to talk to them in the first place, and how did they even calculate the number 312? Neither of these sisters was normal!

Chapter 117 The Trap in Sea Abyss City

Not long ago, inside Sea Abyss City, Cocolia stood by the window, silently gazing at the deep blue sea outside. The plan was proceeding as that person had said. She hadn't expected that the other party would know about Sea Abyss City, a crucial secret even within Anti-Entropy. Cocolia was genuinely surprised when she heard the name from the Gray Serpent. To think that the World Serpent knew such a secret. It seemed the World Serpent was far more vast and mysterious than she had imagined.

[Ms. Cocolia, the plan is progressing as smoothly as we envisioned. The Hyperion is now directly above Sea Abyss City, and things will certainly proceed as we plan.]

Suddenly, a communication came in, and the hoarse, almost mechanical voice made Cocolia very unhappy. Cooperating with this guy had always been a source of great annoyance for Cocolia, but the deal he proposed was something she couldn't refuse. What an annoying guy.

"I hope so. I've already stationed troops in Sea Abyss City, but I can't activate the Eye of the Abyss. Apart from the Alliance Leader and his most trusted people, no one can open that portal."

Cocolia responded in a deep voice, "Entering Sea Abyss City is part of the deal. Although I don't know what this stinky snake is planning, Cocolia really wants to open the portal because one of her daughters is still in the Sea of Quantum. Rescuing her is something I must do."

"It's alright. Thanks to your previous help, while you were establishing communication with the Hyperion, I had already constructed a virtual channel to access Dr. Einstein's Anti-Entropy database through the Hyperion and obtained the inside story of their secret investigation of the Eye of the Abyss a year ago. Next, I need to borrow something from you— the Gem of Desire. I believe you are ready."

Her hoarse voice sounded harsh and unpleasant, but she was now indeed going to cooperate with him. She had already helped him obtain the inside story of the Eye of the Abyss experiment. Although they were both agents of Anti-Entropy, Einstein was clearly more trusted by the leader, and the experimental data was all in her possession. So, the previous invasion of the Hyperion Gray Serpent was actually done with Cocolia's help. The communications she sent contained a virus, and this was also part of her deal with the Gray Serpent.

"Ha, Gem of Desire, those aren't cheap."

Cocolia sneered. The hot potato that was the Gem of Desire had indeed brought Cocolia a lot of trouble recently, but it was precisely because of this trouble that it showed how precious the thing was. If you wanted it, you had to pay a good price.

I understand, and so I will repay you with my own precious gift. Your beloved daughter, Seele Vollerei, will soon be back by your side.

Gray Serpent uttered these words, and each one struck Cocolia's heart like a heavy hammer. A hint of tenderness appeared in the eyes of this tough soldier. Could Seele really come back to him?

She never disappeared; she simply touched upon dimensions inaccessible to humans during the X-10 experiment. Help us, and we will help you in return.

Having cast such bait, Gray Serpent was not worried at all about Cocolia would take the bait. The result was obvious: if she wasn't tempted by the bait, they wouldn't be in Sea Abyss City right now.

"I understand. I hope you will keep your promise."

Such temptation was indeed irresistible to Cocolia. Seele, Bronya, Rosaria and Liliya... So many names flashed through Cocolia's mind. Such a risk was worth taking.

[Of course, snakes are the most trustworthy... Oh? It seems some uninvited guests have arrived first. Ms. Cocolia's prepare for battle. Sea Abyss City cannot fall before everyone arrives.]

As soon as Gray Serpent finished speaking, the alarm in Sea Abyss City went off. Looking at the flashing red on the screen, Cocolia's lips curled into a slightly manic smile. The flies of Schicksal had caught up so quickly. It wouldn't be proper to leave without cleaning this place up. Being constantly chased and beaten had made Cocolia very angry. This time, she wouldn't retreat. Before achieving her goal, Sea Abyss City absolutely could not fall!

"First, second, and third mech units, all mobilize! Objective: Engage the invading Valkyrie!"

The moment the command center issued that order, the once quiet and Sea Abyss City suddenly became bustling with activity.

"Damn it, as expected of a former S-rank from Schicksal, Liliya didn't even have the strength to resist! Rosaria, hurry up and deal with this Shen Gonglin, unleash the power you used to forcibly steal his first kiss..."

Liliya, the younger of the twins, looked at Shen Gonglin, panting heavily. The girl's eyes were filled with fear, as if she were looking at a living demon king. She and Rosaria had just been severely punished by this person, and it was really terrible.

"Liliya, stop talking! Don't you notice the more you talk, the harder he hits? Rosaria... Rosaria's head hurts. Bronya, Rosaria's horn isn't broken, is it?"

Rosaria, feeling dizzy, turned to Bronya for help, while Theresa, who had separated the group of fighting idiots, sighed helplessly. "Shen Gonglin is definitely cuter lying still," she thought. "She's only slightly recovered and she's already causing trouble again. But it's really the sisters' fault for constantly courting death. Shen Gonglin, well done!"

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. We're about to enter Sea Abyss City... But to be honest, hiding Cocolia here isn't a good idea. I understand Schicksal; it's only a matter of time before this place is found."

Theresa spoke up to stop the commotion. If she didn't speak up, these idiots probably wouldn't stop at all. Now was not the time to act recklessly. Dealing with Cocolia required being extremely careful. This woman could not be completely trusted. This was Theresa's experience.

"No... They've already discovered it. A large-scale combat response has been detected in Sea Abyss City. It's Tactical Mech engaging the Valkyrie forces."

Einstein delivered this bad news. It seems they underestimated Schicksal's capabilities. Einstein sighed softly and transmitted the battle footage to the screen. Sea Abyss City, the secret stronghold that Anti-Entropy had tried its best to hide, was finally exposed to everyone.

Chapter 118 The Old Man's Lewd Behavior

"Fight? How is that possible? Nothing happened when we came out! How could this be? Put us down quickly, we need to help Mom!"

Upon hearing Einstein's words, the twin sisters became anxious. Although Cocolia wasn't well-regarded by others, she was the best person in the world in their eyes. They couldn't bear to hear that Cocolia might be in danger. As they got closer, they could hear the sounds of the mechs and Valkyrie fighting. No, they had to join the battle as soon as possible.

"Hmm, wait a moment, pressure adjustment... normal, landing complete, Ms. Theresa, give the order."

Einstein nodded. The Hyperion made an emergency landing in Sea Abyss City. This underwater city had air inside, making it suitable for combat. Now that it had been discovered by the Schicksal forces, it was only a matter of time before Schicksal destroyed or occupied it. They had to hurry and obtain the Gem of Desire.

"Understood. All personnel, launch an attack to assist the mecha force in repelling the Valkyrie force."

It's rather strange to issue such an order, but that's what makes them rebels. Former enemies have become allies, and former comrades have become enemies. They never imagined they would have to fight against the Valkyrie. However, despite Theresa's complicated feelings, she still insisted on issuing the order. After she decided to defy Schicksal, this was inevitable. Now, all they could do was fight.

"Yes!"

The Arin sisters rushed out first, with Bronya and Theresa following closely behind. The command room was empty except for Shen Gonglin and Einstein. The Doctor looked at Shen Gonglin with some curiosity. Didn't this guy intend to join the battle? In fact, in Einstein's mind, Shen Gonglin should be the strongest fighter among them. Although he was unreliable, he was indeed a trump card.

"What, aren't you going up to help?"

The battle could be heard raging over there. Einstein took a deep breath and prepared to descend the Hyperion. After a long time, he had returned to Sea Abyss City, but the familiar faces around him were no longer the same. Composing himself, Einstein looked at Shen Gonglin beside him. Wasn't this guy quite active? He should enjoy things like fighting.

"With Theresa and the others here, it'll be easy to defeat a regular Valkyrie squad. I'll have to protect you, after all, you're not exactly a combatant... Help me up, I'm feeling a little dizzy."
