It Broke... It Broke...

Cocolia's eyes sharpened, and she made a silent resolution. She casually tossed the empty metal bottle into the trash can and turned away with a flourish.

In the conference room, Kevin stared at his swollen lower body, his lips twitching. A quarter of an hour of trying to calm himself down had no effect; his mind was still filled with the erotic images from earlier.

He was completely unaware that his reserve and good intentions had provoked the stubbornness of a proud woman, thus planting a minefield for the future.

Don't think so much about responsibility, just be honest, right? You brought this on yourself! The commander looked down at the area that was still swollen, then shifted his gaze to his curled-up right hand.

Do I really have to solve this myself?

After a complex internal struggle, Kevin bit his lip and flipped his right hand off the table.

"Commander!"

"ZERO has stormed the bunker command center, intending to destroy five prototypes and one of our members!"

The tightly closed door was suddenly flung open, and the blond, long-legged Commander rushed into the room, standing in front of Kevin with an anxious expression, followed by the bewildered little girl 2B.

Just then, the two toy dolls' faces broke into a mess, their lips and teeth agape.

Two pairs of eyes looked at the commander, whose right hand was trembling and whose heart was ashen. They exchanged bewildered glances.

Kevin forgot that the YoRHa Unit had been equipped with counter-surveillance procedures, and that their physical functions differed from those of normal people.

Ten minutes later, Kevin, dressed neatly, with stiff facial muscles and taut cheeks, followed the Commander out the door.

"A2 is leading members of the YoRHa Unit in a standoff with her; there have been no aggressive actions from them so far..."

The Commander reported the situation as he walked, then glanced down and stood a few steps behind Kevin, speaking in a serious, low voice.

"Commander, those kinds of human behaviors shouldn't be too frequent; they're very harmful to the body. If necessary..."

"Thank you! No need! I beg you to keep this to yourself and not say anything more!"

Kevin's zombie-like face contorted into an expression that was neither crying nor laughing.

"Yes, Your Excellency! You are above all else!"

Including physical and mental health... The Commander reviewed the recoded top directive, a hint of caution flashing in his eyes.

The B-17 military fortress, a bunker command center, is a YoRHa Unit base that has almost hollowed out the surrounding area. It has a large space and, thanks to the presence of Nano-proliferation Metal, is equipped with all kinds of defensive facilities.

In the hall, Kevin, who had arrived in a menacing manner with the Commander and 2B, pushed aside the YoRHa Unit members in their crescent formation.

On the field, A2 is wielding an exaggeratedly designed Ship-Slaying Sword, confronting Zero, while holding the hand of a smaller Yuhar Robot girl in her left hand.

After more than ten days apart, this doll, which didn't know how to take care of itself, had more dirt and scratches on its body, but its liveliness and fighting spirit were even stronger than before.

"Since you're here, let's be frank: I'm just taking what's rightfully mine..."

Zero's expression of goodwill towards Kevin was limited to this. After saying this, she slightly raised her right hand, and intricate incantations appeared on the Tactical Sword. With each sip of her lips, the Honkai energy in the air vibrated violently.

"It seems your prejudices against the world can't be melted away with just a few words. I was just being presumptuous."

Kevin took a deep breath, slightly disappointed, then turned and coldly shouted at the Commander behind him.

"Open the incubation chamber, retrieve prototypes one through five, and prepare for surgery immediately."

"Fix one of those effective miniature bombs into their hearts and necks, and prepare all the dog leashes, including the remote control devices, for the Diva."

"Whether you observe or just take them out and set off fireworks, it's up to you, just don't dirty my territory!"

As the members of the YoRHa Unit left one after another according to orders, Kevin counted on his fingers, walked up to Zero, stared intently into those blood-red eyes, and spoke seriously.

"I'm trying to remove the Flower of Calamity from your eyes, and I'm starting to see some results."

"If I were playing cards with that damned fate, instead of killing my sisters, killing myself, and yelling about starting over!"

"The rules are set, what's the point of playing them! Just jump up from your seat and flip the table!"

Zero's mocking smile gradually tightened, but he remained unmoved.

"Believe it or not, I'm doing everything I can to save you and your sister!"

"There's no righteous excuse, I just simply wanted to do it!"

"You can choose to take these girlfriends and leave right now, hide somewhere and continue playing your love-hate game..."

"Or, listen to me, give it a try! I'll take the blame!"

"If this damn world can't even accommodate a few little girls, it might as well be destroyed!"

At this moment, Kevin, still agitated by the inexplicable provocation he had received earlier, decided to spill all his secrets and thoughts.

You'll regret your decision today...

Zero glanced at the man, her expression a mixture of confusion, emotion, and a touch of sorrow. Then, she turned her gaze to the little girl in the white dress that A2 was holding.

"I am the sixth World-Ending Diva, the vessel for the former White Queen. Put shackles on me too..."

At that moment, the little girl broke free from A2's grasp, calmly walked up to Kevin, and made her request.

The commander paused for a moment, nodded in agreement, and recognized that this was the last person he had rescued from the Hurricane-class Nuclear Submarine.

"You're truly extraordinary. Even that little creature, who's most afraid of death, dared to risk its life for you..."

"Alright, if even one of them loses control, I'll execute them all immediately!"

Ling smiled and watched Kevin whisper to himself. In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have thought of something, and her cherry lips pursed slightly.

"Also, I want to sleep with you once, tonight!"

Chapter 339, Section 356: Broken... Broken...

Is this ever going to end? He made a bunch of promises, and now he wants her to sell herself tonight? This isn't good luck in love, it's a disaster!

Kevin slumped in the recliner, pressing his temples, and felt an urge to curse.

Forget it, keeping this World-Ending Diva under control is more important than anything else.

Then let's stick to the original plan and dump this woman in the slums, where she can lead a bunch of kids in playing house.

As long as she doesn't go out and cause trouble, even if it's a strategic nuclear weapon, placed in the B-17 military fortress, no one can take it down without Sirin personally coming.

After all, while Zero didn't have much affection for humans, she was perfectly suited to guarding the civilian borough. She couldn't possibly expect those brain-dead Honkai Beast who had provoked her to reason with her, could she?

The commander's face darkened at this thought.

"I heard you're about to be taken advantage of? Want me to give you a price quote?"

Tony handed over a cup of hot milk, but his expression was somewhat gloating.

"Damn it!" Kevin rolled his eyes, snatched the paper cup, looked at the bruise on his face, and mocked him mercilessly.

"It's better than some jerk who couldn't get his way and got beaten up on the ground..."

"Stop kidding, where's Steve? Why are there only two of you?"

Tony awkwardly touched his nose and tactfully changed the subject.

Steve had heard the term "Winter Soldier" from a group of Russian veterans; apparently, his adorable World War II 'boyfriend' Bucky Barnes is still alive...

"So, the captain's been hanging out with those Russian Soldiers a lot lately."

Iron Man, inevitably unleashing a torrent of sarcastic remarks, began criticizing Director Nick's infiltration and bureaucratic practices, as well as the fact that all those bastards had broken their promises.

If you knew that your parents were killed by the Dongbing (Japanese soldiers), I wonder if you could still smile so happily...

Kevin looked at him with pity, but did not expose the cruel reality. This matter can only be resolved with time. Hopefully, both parties involved can get through this.

"Hey, are you sure you don't need our help? The new nano-metal armor is quite effective; it can at least hold its own against lower-level Honkai Beast."

Tony crushed the paper cup, tossed it into the trash can, and then sat down to seriously question his friend next to him.

Kevin shook his head slightly, declining Tony's offer to come along, and explained his own plans.

"I will take both Valkyrie of Schicksal with me to prevent any trouble at the fortress. The main force of the YoRHa Unit will also be redeployed..."

"At that time, both we and our opponents will be internally vulnerable, like a skinny person fighting a wolf—we'll be afraid on both sides. I must be fully prepared..."

"There's work to be done to keep the shield running; you can't leave..."

"And you and Steve are the last cards I'm leaving for Cocolia..."

Tony pressed his temples, his face showing some distress.

"You really want us two, who have no connections, to be on guard against Russia, right?"

"To be honest, I hate backstabbing and scheming the most..."

Kevin patted Tony on the shoulder, his expression suggestive.

"We're already so close, I'm actually creating opportunities for you and Sarah..."

"Also, if that thing launches a second time and shatters the fortress's Energy Shield, and then some high-ranking Honkai Beast that we can't handle descend, we can lure them directly to the designated location..."

After receiving the marked electronic map, Tony showed a disdainful expression and quickly distanced himself from Kevin.

"Wow! You haven't even slept with her tonight, and you're already scheming, trying to shift the blame, and your price is outrageous..."

Kevin, without a hint of shame, said, "Rental fees at the B-17 military fortress are very high; everyone who comes has to pay rent..."

"Okay, are you an expert in mechanical engineering? See if you can fix this..."

Joking aside, Tony took the chipped Skyfire Greatsword from Kevin's hands upon hearing this.

This thing is, after all, just a replica of the original, used as a transition for the Kaslan family to fully master the Key of God.

Kevin was the only one who consistently used it as a normal weapon...

This thing has slashed Terminators, fought Sentinel Robot, and dealt with mutants. Recently, it even achieved a 100-kill streak against Honkai Beast, and it's already overwhelmed.

With the surprise attack imminent, he could only try to repair it and make do with it, which is why he turned to Tony.

"Soul Steel? Honkai Crystals? Composite material, also employing miniaturization technology and nano-shaping..."

"The standard supplies here are passable, but finding all the materials needed for restoration is simply impossible. And the equipment alone is inadequate..."

"What about the YoRHa Unit?"

Iron Man spread his hands, indicating his helplessness.

Kevin shook his head helplessly, not pressing the matter further. "My conclusion is the same as yours..."

After a brief chat, the commander picked up the Skyfire Greatsword and headed towards the Valkyrie's residence.

Along the way, civilians were rebuilding their collapsed houses with the help of the army. Although they were still somewhat shaken, the hope in their eyes had not faded.

As Kevin approached a courtyard, he heard a group of children playing inside. They were stroking the fur of three brown bears, and the bolder ones were even rolling around on the belly of these beasts.

Theresa, who was enjoying the children's admiring gazes, would occasionally issue a few simple commands to make the three brown bears perform the corresponding actions.

"Aren't you Valkyrie? When did you become Beast Tamer?"

After the children dispersed upon seeing the adults arrive, Kevin and Theresa met and, as usual, launched into a sarcastic remark.

"None of your business!" The superhuman nun blocked the doorway, clearly indicating her unwelcoming attitude.

After briefly relaying the message of the attack, Kevin was about to turn and leave when the chipped Skyfire Greatsword in his hand caught Patrick's attention.

"Repairing the Key of God? Perhaps you could let Theresa take a look; she's the holder of the Key of God [Oath of Judas], so she should have some insights."

Patrick's praise made Theresa proudly raise her chin and immediately put on airs.

"I can't even handle her, let alone her? Forget it. This girl's intelligence is always directly proportional to her height. If she can fix my Skyfire Greatsword, I'd rather not have been named Kaslana in the first place!"

The mockery in her ears ignited Theresa's fury. She immediately snatched Kevin's Skyfire Greatsword, vowing to prove herself and achieve something.

But she obviously didn't know that Kevin, who deleted his account and started over, did not actually have the surname Kaslana from the beginning in order to hide his identity.

According to publicly available information, the main body should be inspected first, and the extent of its damage should be tested...

"Bang!"

Theresa's crisp cracking fingers left Kevin, who thought his scheme had succeeded, speechless and dumbfounded as he stared at the violent nun holding half of the sword in each hand.

"It seems... I accidentally used too much force..."

The young nun's solemn expression froze. After taking a long, deep breath, she finally revealed an innocent smile, then stuffed the broken replica into Kevin's hand and turned to slip towards the door.

"Theresa, you son of a bitch! You idiot!"

"Stand still, and I promise I won't beat you to death today!"

A furious roar, fueled by gritted teeth, echoed throughout the fortress, causing chaos and confusion. The sight of the commander chasing after a short-legged little girl became the focus of attention on the streets.
