A Scumbag's Earnest Wish / I Am the Herrscher!

But he clearly didn't know that he had accidentally thrown the right pot into the fire this time.

The Snow Wolf Squad has arrived, and Sirin is almost finished evolving. It's too risky to wait any longer; we must finish this quickly!

Upon realizing this, the commander made a decisive decision.

"To avoid any unforeseen complications, I propose we set off now to the Babylon Tower to destroy the Honkai energy reactor and deactivate the [Dome]. This way, we can quickly contact the outside world and launch a campaign to Honkai Beast!"

"How confident are you?" Siegfried stroked his chin and asked in a deep voice.

Kevin gave a definite answer, "It's still 80% complete now, but if it drags on any longer, it might be less than 30%..."

"Alright! Then we won't resupply at B-17 Military Fortress, let's head to Babylon Laboratory immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Siegfried chose to believe without hesitation.

To be honest, Kevin's feint and counterattack on the big island from within Toko City left a deep impression on Siegfried.

Judging solely from his strategic vision and ability to maneuver small units, none of you present can rival his talent.

"I refuse! The captain hasn't even arrived yet. Why should we take orders from an outsider!"

Shigure Kira snorted and jumped out, raising her hand to express her opinion. The other five Valkyrie stood by with their arms crossed, each with a bit of a "let's watch the show" mentality.

"Because... I'm the vice-captain with emergency command authority!"

Siegfried snorted coldly, and a surge of raging flames erupted around him, making it almost impossible for the inherently arrogant Valkyrie to breathe.

They then remembered that Siegfried, who was usually so serious, not only was Cecilia's husband, but also possessed strength comparable to S-class Valkyrie!

"Moreover, Kevin is the child Cecilia and I adopted together, and he's the guardian knight we personally chose for Kiana!"

"Even if you don't trust me, you should at least trust your captain's judgment, right?"

Siegfried's tone softened slightly, and as he turned to gesture, Kevin rolled his eyes and pulled out the only family crest that could "prove his identity."

You really dare to brag like that. Looking at this bargain, are you sure you're going to get it?

However, with this stepping stone, the Valkyrie successively agreed to Kevin's plan and boarded the helicopter one after another, preparing to head towards the Babylon Laboratory.

However, to facilitate their rendezvous, the Valkyrie of the Snow Wolf Squad left a coded message inside the transport plane's cabin to inform Cecilia of the relevant plans.

As the propellers roared, Kevin saw Siegfried staring blankly across from him and assumed he was worried about his wife Cecilia, so he prepared to offer some words of comfort.

However, at his call, Siegfried suddenly turned his head, a smug smile on his lips.

"Son, wasn't your dad cool just now?"

Kevin's lips curled slightly, then he expressionlessly picked up the Valkyrie Spear sniper Valkyrie's Spear.

"Roll!"

"Alright, I'm kidding you. Here you go, you bitch!"

Siegfried's expression turned serious, and he kicked the metal box with strangely engraved patterns at his feet to Kevin opposite him.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not insulting you. These two things were originally meant for your sister to practice with. Just make do with them..."

What a vulgar taste. Kevin noticed Siegfried's upturned lips, but ultimately didn't expose the guy's true colors. He casually opened the box, and two magnificent weapons came into view.

At the bottom of the box is a heavy sword with a dark gold blade and a slender hilt; on either side are two swords interwoven with gold and silver.

"The Sunflame Greatsword, the strongest sword-type weapon currently created by the Holy 7308 Institute..."

"And, Relic 2nd, a lightweight, long-range, general-purpose combat weapon from the Previous Civilization Era, unearthed by the Schicksal Organization in Lake Baikal!"

Siegfried's tone was full of pride. Kevin tried it out and was extremely satisfied, which also softened Siegfried's expression considerably.

"Dad went to great lengths to pick out a suitable gift for you when we first met. Aren't you touched?"

"Don't you feel the deep bond between father and son? Why not call him 'Dad' and let us hear it..."

However, his cool demeanor lasted only three seconds. This narcissistic guy's provocation instantly enraged Kevin, who raised his hand and fired two shots.

"Trying to take advantage of me? Fine, father-son match, whoever loses calls me dad!"

Meanwhile, the Russian ace pilot, who had once again ended up on the same plane with the two troublemakers, stared at the red warning lights on his instruments, feeling utterly helpless.

P. S.: I'm starting to like that scumbag Siegfried more and more, what should I do?

I don't know why, but I feel like that's the kind of personality he should have—cheeky, but also insightful.

Chapter 344, Section 361: The Scum's Tragic Wish

The crash site is located 300 kilometers from the Babylon Tower.

The Russian pilot, having downed a mouthful of vodka, glared at Kevin and Siegfried, the two troublemakers, with his bloodshot eyes, before bidding a painful farewell to his beloved aircraft and boarding another "Hind" in the cockpit.

If I weren't outmatched by these freaks, I would have grabbed my RPD machine gun and shredded them both!

Led by Little Angel 2B, Kevin stepped into the snowmobile, while the rest of the YoRHa Unit stood respectfully by.

Not only did they offer words of comfort and concern, but they also proactively brought water and snacks—it was practically royalty. Of course, this excludes a certain High Awakener only knows how to polish his Ship-Slaying Sword.

"Cough cough..."

Siegfried, left on the snow, looked on with envy, then his eyes darted around and he coughed a few times with restraint.

"What's wrong? Did you get a donkey hair stuck in your throat?"

Shigure Kira, who was in charge of escorting this guy onto the plane, poked her head out and asked with disgust.

Siegfried rolled his eyes and helplessly pointed to Kevin, who was surrounded by admirers.

Shigure Kira curled her lips into a cold smile, then walked into the cabin without looking back.

"That scumbag down there only comes up if someone's there to greet him. Anyone here available?"

The Valkyrie didn't stop what they were doing, and Patrick, who was piloting the helicopter, simply turned on the rotors, closed the cabin door, and prepared for takeoff.

"No! I'll do it, okay?!"

Upon seeing this, Siegfried's face darkened, and he hurriedly crawled into the cabin and sat down obediently.

"Actually, they just want us to learn a bit from the girls in the snowmobiles. It's not an unreasonable request, I understand..."

Shigure Kira was the first to break the dull atmosphere, smilingly defending Siegfried, but then her tone shifted, revealing malice.

"Who among you will go and serve tea and massage the shoulders of the heir to the Knight Family?"

Siegfried sensed the gazes of the surrounding "river eels" converging on him, and immediately shuddered, rising to his feet with a forced smile.

"Of course not! I utterly despise this scum who disrespects women!"

"What is gentlemanly conduct? What is chivalry? Taking on all responsibilities!"

Seeing that Siegfried had obediently given in, the Valkyrie poured each of them a cup of hot tea, which calmed them down a little.

I'm so handsome and dashing... why is there such a huge difference between people...?

Siegfried, busy serving his several aunts, glanced at the cheerful scene inside the snowmobile and felt a pang of grievance.

As the team set off again, Kevin frowned, as if he had forgotten something important.

I hope... everything goes well...

Meanwhile, at the B-17 military fortress, 45 degrees east of south, 173 kilometers away.

The surrounding coniferous forests were flattened in large swaths, the snow crunched and groaned, and a series of wide footprints were deeply embedded in the ground.

The trail spread and stopped in an open area. Amidst the flashing blue arcs, the outline of the large transport plane in the center appeared in a distortion of the air.

Optical Camouflage? It seems [Schicksal] has also mastered this technology... but when it comes to science, those old fogies are no match.

The girl with red twin ponytails grinned, revealing her fangs, and proudly pushed up her glasses. Her right hand gently stroked the golden wolf head emblem on the transport plane's hull, her eyes slightly narrowed.

As Dr. Tesla was deep in thought, Welt, who had entered the transport plane to inspect it, tightened his scarf, rubbed his hands together, and turned his head to the north.

"Have you seen the message?"

"Yes, according to Patrick's intelligence, the Snow Wolf Squad has made contact with the Russian forces at the B-17 military fortress and is secretly infiltrating the Babylon Laboratory, preparing to destroy the Honkai reactor inside."

"Are we late?"

"If you want to join in the fun, the timing is perfect. I remember you love big events like this."

Welt chuckled softly, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"By the way, before the Snow Wolf Squad members left, they left a set of coded messages for their captain, Cecilia, which we haven't been able to decipher yet."

"We've already caused that Legendary Woman a little trouble outside, so you mean... we should settle things with her here?"

Tesla frowned and asked cautiously.

Welt quickly shook his head, his smile gentle.

"No, no... I'm a pacifist... Keep this information."

"Playing games is more fun when there are more people..."

"Our goal is the Herrscher Core and the data from Babylon Laboratory anyway, so we just need to exploit the time difference..."

"It looks like it's about to start, let's hurry and grab a good spot..."

"Yes, yes, yes... Lord Alliance Leader..." Tesla nodded helplessly.

"Achoo... Siberia is so cold! I really miss the sunshine and beaches of Hawaii, and even back in Japan, we're still eating ice cream..."

The professor with red twin tails patted the snow that had fallen on her head, muttering to herself as she curled up into a ball like a quail.

At that moment, a warm feeling enveloped her neck, which was covered in goosebumps. Tesla looked down and saw that it was the scarf that had been tied around Welt's body.

Surprisingly... she still has a body temperature...

"Hey, let's be honest, little Welt, trying to please me won't work! I'm in charge of your health during this operation, and unless there are special circumstances, you're strictly prohibited from overusing the power of the Herrscher Core!"

Tesla looked at the Lord Alliance Leader was smiling gently at her, and immediately blushed. She crossed her arms fiercely, frowned, and reiterated her principles.

"Okay, please board the plane, mentor..."

Welt, unperturbed, bent down and extended his hand, elegantly displaying a courtly gesture. Tesla, though reluctant, took his hand, and the two entered the Schicksal's transport plane together.

The game is about to begin...

Welt adjusted his glasses, and a crisp snap of his fingers echoed outside the cabin. Dozens of tall, Purple-blue automatic mecha War Machine, their Optical Camouflage deactivated and anti-gravity devices activated, slowly rose into the air, following the transport plane toward the northern border.

B-17 Military Fortress.

With the World Tree System severed by the Dome, the Princess, who was in charge of coordinating everything, naturally had nothing to do.

The commander was short-staffed, so Hatsune Miku was assigned the task of recording songs.

Under this guise, I temporarily cohabited with this World-Ending Diva, Zero, and incidentally collected and analyzed her Ancient Ballad that could manipulate Honkai energy.

If it were any other task, Hatsune Miku without putting in any effort, could almost certainly find a reason to refuse.

However, that man precisely exploited her weakness; he was simply... too cunning!

At this moment, the Princess, her eyes sparkling, rested her chin on her hand, completely captivated by Zero's singing.

As she sang, Zero noticed a strange tremor somewhere and subconsciously looked up at the Northern Border. The perfect song suddenly became slightly off-key.

I don't know why, but my heart is beating so fast...

The doors to the Babylon Laboratory slowly opened.

The Red Queen raised her right hand, signaling the gathered Second Generation Sentinel to disperse, her crimson eyes fixed on the figure before her with interest.

The first one to arrive... was actually her...

Now our chances of winning have increased even more... I can't wait any longer...

Chapter 345, Section 362: I am the Herrscher!

Due to the influence of the periods and inclinations of its revolution and rotation, 82% of the other side of the moon can never be observed from Earth.

These special areas are known as the "Dark Side of the Moon," and the Lunar Base mentioned by the YoRHa Unit was established here.

On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11, carrying two astronauts, took a giant leap for mankind, officially unveiling the mysteries of the far side of the moon.

"There's nothing on the moon..." That's how it should be.
