Tazi Is Either Crashing or on Her Way to Crash / Is That You... Hai Mo...
"That idiot, we have to stop her from doing something stupid!" Theresa began to direct Himeko: "Himeko, turn the radar and detection devices up to the maximum. With the current concentration of Honkai Energy around Wendy, it should be very easy to lock onto her."
"We have to go find her; we can't let her continue using her power like this!"
"Uh... Theresa, even if we find Wendy, we might not be able to beat her."
Xia Ling looked at Theresa, who had inexplicably burst into flames, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"It's alright, at worst we'll just fight her to the death." Theresa patted Judah on the back of her. "Don't worry, as her teacher, I'll definitely bring her back!"
"Himeko, prepare two medical pods. I want to show her the authority of a teacher!"
Xia Ling: "?"
Wait, why are there two? What is Theresa trying to do? Is she exchanging one Divine Prayer Barrier for one?
No, this isn't even chapter nine yet, and I haven't skipped any plot points. How did we end up on the set of the Last Lesson?
"Oh no!" Xia Ling quickly sent a message to Highmore: "You better give it your all, or you might end up seeing Theresa's version of the Last Lesson!"
The Anti-Entropy Fleet is located in the outer waters of Oceania.
Several warships had been hovering over the sea for quite some time, and some of them were even emitting black smoke.
With a cry of "Stars, gather here!", a huge hole appeared on Cocolia's flagship and an energy beam pierced the sky.
Inside the flagship, looking at the destroyed main cannon, Durandal casually tossed a clone out of the ship and looked at the terrified Cocolia beside her.
"You... call these guys the leaders of the Anti-Entropy Alliance?"
Durandal glanced at the Joyce clones lying all around her and let out a disdainful snort.
"If these shoddy replicants and those fragile Titan Mech are your trump cards, Ms. Cocolia, I think you can leave Oceania."
"I don't want to lay a hand on you in front of your daughter, so please don't be ungrateful."
"Heh... I didn't expect that the S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal would possess such strength..."
Cocolia wasn't oblivious to the situation. Given the current circumstances, Oceania was no longer a place for someone of her caliber to interfere with. Therefore, she readily yielded.
"... In that case, I will leave Oceania."
Looking at Cocolia, who was "begging for mercy" beside her, Durandal nodded in satisfaction, and then quickly left the flagship through the opening she had just created.
After all, time was not very plentiful for her. Bishop Otto had assigned her another task, and if she wasted too much time here, there might be big problems later.
"This is the last one..."
An invisible hand made of flowing wind grabbed the girl who was about to be promoted to A-rank Valkyrie, and then gently squeezed her. The face that had once mocked Highmore instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist.
Ignoring the screams and terrified stares of those around her, Wendy quickly flew into the sky, far away from the city.
She can't stay here for too long. After all, she can't control the Honkai Energy around her very well. Staying in the city for too long might cause the residents to become Honkai zombie.
Reaching an altitude of several thousand meters, Wendy looked at the swirling winds behind her, while the list she had found at the Oceania Branch flashed through her mind.
"Very good... not a single one has been left."
Subconsciously brushing her hair past her ear, Wendy's fingertips touched the fin-like patterns on the Highmore, Wendy immediately felt her anxiety subside slightly.
"I've made them pay for all the revenge they deserved..."
High in the empty sky, Wendy's expression softened as she murmured to herself.
"My body seems to be barely holding on... That's alright, Highmore, I'll be coming to find you soon..."
"In the last moments of my life, let me go to that place and take one last look..."
"Let's go to the place where we met."
Chapter 47 Sister Tazi is either in a car accident or on her way to one.
The border of Oceania, the sea area where Highmore was "born".
Rita, dressed in the Argent Knight: Moon Spirit Armor, was walking slowly along the coast.
She was also waiting for someone here.
As a dedicated shipper who has been a fan of the couple from beginning to end, Rita made a judgment immediately after receiving the mission from Otto and Wendy's current situation.
Whether Wendy is going to commit suicide for love or to pay tribute, this sea area will definitely be one of her destinations.
Therefore, instead of chasing Wendy around like Hyperion, Rita, who is not known for her speed, naturally chose to arrive here slowly and wait for her to come to her.
Of course, even so, aside from Highmore area, she was one of the first people to arrive here.
Rita didn't have to wait long. As the index of the Honkai Energy detector that Rita carried with her soared, Wendy's figure slowly appeared in the sky above the sea.
"Hello, Miss Wendy."
Although she was already very familiar with it, it was still one-way surveillance, so Rita still adhered to her signature etiquette.
"Hello, Miss Rita."
Wendy's expression was indifferent, but her voice carried a hint of displeasure at being interrupted.
"Perhaps this is our first meeting, but..."
"First time?"
Rita's prepared opening remarks were rudely interrupted by Wendy.
Do you need me to remind you how many times you've visited the Oceania Branch?
"?"
Rita was taken aback by the sudden question. It seemed that Wendy was not entirely unaware of her infiltration.
Could Wendy have detected her infiltration of the Oceania Branch? That shouldn't be possible. Could it be that Highmore told her?
"You seem surprised. Don't worry, your disguise is fine. However, in the face of the wind, you left too many traces that would have given away your presence."
Wendy waved her hand impatiently.
"So, don't block my way. I won't be as lenient with you as I am with the Far East Branch."
"Miss Wendy, since things have come to this, why don't you hear what I have to say to you first?"
"Your Lord Bishop, I'd like to discuss something with you..."
Rita showed no embarrassment at being exposed; her smile remained unchanged.
"What can you say? Discuss? Negotiate? What else can you say!"
This remark seemed to have precisely hit Wendy's sore spot, directly igniting her already unstable emotions.
"When this experiment to obtain the Desire Gem was designed, you didn't say anything."
"When Highmore was being used as a test subject and slaughtered in Oceania, you didn't say anything."
"You didn't say anything when you witnessed Ryan devising a plan to kill Highmore in Oceania."
"Now that I've become Herrscher, possessing power that you fear, do you know what to say?"
The air around Wendy swirled and cut against each other, producing a sharp popping sound.
"Wait, Miss Wendy, I think you've misunderstood me..."
"Misunderstanding? Ha..."
"Originally, I didn't want to take action against innocent people, but now it seems that your Schicksal Headquarters is not so innocent either."
"In that case... let's inspect the results of your 'Desire Gem Project'!"
"Well..."
Rita's smile became slightly forced. Although she had indeed deliberately provoked Wendy, she was still somewhat surprised by how well it worked.
As the Phantom System built into the God-Slaying Armor was activated, a silver-white Phantom appeared behind Rita.
"Your Lord Bishop... you've really given me a tough job..."
A moment later...
Rita thought that with her S-rank Valkyrie strength, even if she couldn't defeat the Herrscher, she wouldn't lose too quickly.
However, it is clear that she not only overestimated her own strength, but also underestimated the strength of her opponent.
If she were to return to the time when Otto assigned her the task, she would definitely show a surprised expression and ask a question.
"What? I'm playing against Wendy? Will I win?"
Once again, Rita relied on the Honkai Energy shield erected by her armor to withstand the attack, and she retreated with some difficulty, while Phantom Spirit: Silver Moon stood in front of her to protect her.
Both being fourth-generation prototype God-Slaying Armor, Argent Knight: Argent Knight: Artemis and Radiant Knight: Bright Knight: Excelsis are equipped with the latest Phantom Spirit System developed by Schicksal.
However, due to the user's Honkai Energy output, Durandal can summon two Phantoms, while Rita can only summon one.
At this moment, one of the phantoms seemed somewhat outmatched in the face of Wendy's attack.
After all, the main attack method of the Moon Spirit Armor is to use the particle flow distribution system to absorb heat energy and create cold currents and extreme freezing to attack the enemy.
However, when faced with Herrscher of Wind Wendy power is fluid control, these terrifying cold currents are like docile little lambs in her presence, and are all returned to Rita.
Although it's unclear why Wendy doesn't often initiate attacks, the sheer number of counter-attacks from these cold currents, which are more than twice as agile as when she controls them herself, has caused Rita considerable trouble.
Fortunately, Rita's perseverance was worthwhile.
Just as Rita was about to give up, a magnificent golden spear suddenly descended from the sky.
A burst of heat separated the two. The blond knight, clad in the Herrscher of Stars, stood protectively in front of Rita.
Durandal arrives at the battlefield.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Hyperion was still speeding on its way.
Because Hyperion was always chasing Wendy, but couldn't keep up with Wendy speed, it was left behind by Wendy.
Even so, they caught up quickly.
"Theresa, according to observations, Wendy appears to be in conflict with someone in the waters ahead."
"There are some ice floes floating on the sea, but just now, the temperature in that area has risen sharply again."
On the bridge, Himeko's voice was somewhat solemn.
"Without a doubt, it's Rita and Durandal. We're still a step too late." Theresa sighed. "Himeko, if you need anything..."
"If there's really a need, then let me stop Rita."
Xia Ling's voice rang out from the side.
Originally, she didn't plan to take action and would continue to remain hidden on the Hyperion, but a message that Xi had just sent changed her mind.
"Xia Ling? You're not incapable of..."
"I really don't want to make a move in front of the people at headquarters, but that doesn't mean I don't have the ability to fight Rita."
Xia Ling's confident tone slightly dispelled Theresa's doubts.
"But Rita is also an experienced warrior. If you try to hide your abilities from her, she will definitely find out."
"Theresa, who said I had to take action?"
Xia Ling smiled slyly, took off the glove on her left hand, revealing the Stigmata left by Yae Sakura.
"As long as I don't take action, there's no question of me holding back, right?"
"This is..."
"Perfect timing, let's show this old friend of Otto." Xia Ling's tone carried a hint of revenge. "His Lord Bishop has caused us so much trouble, so we should naturally return the favor."
"It can also be seen as... diverting Otto's attention from our current situation."
Chapter Forty-Eight: Is that you... Highmore...?
The tide of battle has turned in the skies over the sea.
In the early stages of the story, Durandal's strength was basically equivalent to the ceiling of combat power. After receiving Su's help and stabilizing the World Bubble in her body, the Dumb Goose who obtained the Star Armor jumped to become the Golden Saint Goose.
Even in the later stages of the story, Rita, with her Star Armor, could go toe-to-toe with Ryoma, who had Star of Eden. Not to mention how terrifying the combination of Dumb Goose and Star Armor was in the early stages.
