Who's the Undercover Agent? / The Herrscher Isn't Home Today

As the only intelligent race in the Chiwu Star System, we will continue to live in solitude and nobility.

However, after the moon landing program was implemented, the two astronauts discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization and the presence of a large amount of Honkai energy on the Dark Side of the Moon!

One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind?

Yes, this is your leap toward your Finality! Sirin leaped off the dragon's back, stomping on the footprints left by Apollo's moon landing, erasing the proof of humanity's conquest of the moon bit by bit.

The girl then turned around, her eyes reflecting the Weilan planet.

What a beautiful world it was... but the presence of these worms caused it to gradually decay...

Sirin turned her gaze back, raised her right hand slightly, and saw a magnificent building in the style of ancient Rome before her. The tightly closed passageway was cut open by an invisible spatial blade, and at the end of the dark passage, strands of golden light flickered.

Stepping inside, a dense Honkai energy permeated the air, almost liquefying, while the circular altar inscribed with strange characters particularly caught Sirin's eye.

Thousands of square modules were seen constantly changing and combining, while an irregular crystal, seven or eight meters tall, displayed a peculiar golden color.

With a call echoing in her heart, Sirin stepped onto the edge of the crystal, reached out and touched it. In an instant, her consciousness entered a white space without end or dimension, where everything would be washed back to its Oldest One color.

With a simple step, Sirin saw the pure white figure perched high on the throne.

In that fleeting glance, the person seated there looked exactly like Sirin herself. The trembling in her body made her instinctively kneel on the ground.

Because on this desolate planet, there is only God, and no fixed image exists. What is reflected in the hearts of each worshipper is their own reflection.

"God, I will take revenge on those filthy humans who have taken everything from me! I will cleanse this world of all the filth that has been brought to it!"

"Therefore, please grant me your power!"

The [god] on the throne smiled slightly, his gaze lingering on the girl's eager face for a moment, as if he had seen something interesting. His slowly extended fingertip lightly touched Sirin's brow.

In an instant, golden characters exploded in Xilin's mind, the surrounding Honkai energy surged endlessly, and a purple-gold light band condensed and surrounded the girl's body.

At the same time, Sirin placed her right hand on her chest, reciting a solemn chant with a hint of excitement mixed in.

"I am Herrscher..."

"God has granted me authority to ride endless storms, to be a thousand miles away in an instant, the king of desire!"

"I am Herrscher..."

"God has given me a crown, and I draw thunder as my bow and arrow to shatter all things; I am the king of conquest!"

"I am Herrscher..."

"God has given me a sword, Immortal Flames envelop me, Spark to Prairie Fire, the King of Plague!"

"I am Herrscher..."

"God has bestowed upon me a brocade robe, and offered me the wine of death; sweet dreams come to me, King of Tranquility!"

As the chanting began, crystals of four colors—blue, purple, red, and indigo—lit up one by one on Sirin's chest.

Storms of desire, thunder of conquest, flames of plague, silent death! Control everything! Crush everything!

Excellent, I felt it! This is power! Absolute power!

Bella, you see! I can avenge you now!

Sirin's face flushed with excitement, but the surging Honkai energy around her strangely became stagnant. The source of this stagnation was the stone pillars around her, which were covered with bizarre inscriptions.

Ugh, these pillars are awful. Let them be the death knell for humanity!

Sirin waved her hand in disgust, and with a spatial slicing motion, dozens of enormous stone pillars were hurled towards the Weilan Earth by her telekinesis.

As it entered the atmosphere, the stone pillar burned fiercely, with dozens of dazzling flames that were both beautiful and ferocious.

The U. S. military once designed a kinetic weapon called "God's Rod".

This involves using a space platform to carry a large number of tungsten, titanium, or uranium metal rods, each 30 centimeters in diameter, 6.1 meters long, and weighing several tons, and then projecting them towards the target.

These metal rods, equipped with small booster rockets, can strike targets anywhere on Earth within minutes using satellite guidance, with a destructive power comparable to nuclear weapons.

These stone pillars are similar to that kinetic weapon; if they were to hit Earth, they would inevitably cause the deaths of tens of millions of people!

But to Sirin's astonishment, the originally imposing stone pillars were strangely distorted and swallowed up by the surrounding space after entering the atmosphere.

"Impossible! What on earth is going on?!" The girl's face was filled with disbelief as she swung her right hand repeatedly, cutting nearly half of the stone pillar off and sending it crashing to the ground.

The results were surprisingly consistent: all the burning stone pillars vanished silently, as if they had never existed!

At this moment, the once confident Sirin retreated repeatedly, feeling an unprecedented sense of panic.

"You shouldn't have chosen the moon as the battlefield. Let's go back to where Oldest One..."

"They broke the Shepherd's Staff, and they must pay a bloody price for it..."

A faint voice came from deep within the passageway, and Sirin bowed in greeting.

This must be God's will, allowing me to torture these disgusting maggots up close.

Yes, their grotesque cries and struggles will make them the most suitable sacrifices!

The girl regained her confidence, then jumped onto the dragon's back. The Honkai Beast then flapped its wings and flew towards the gear-shaped spatial portal.

To define this as an attack from outside the universe? Hmph, self-deception!

What you couldn't do in the last generation, the outcome will remain the same this time.

Humanity's ambitions should be forever bound to this land!

So, the game begins, everyone on Earth...

No, actually, I had already made my move before the game even started...

"I am Herrscher..."

"God gave me the key to unlock the door to my heart; my thoughts are corrupted, the king of corruption!"

A somber chant drifted from the depths of the passageway, like a whisper before a king's arrival.

Meanwhile, in a meditation room in the Himalayas.

The female monk sitting on the futon lowered her eyes, withdrew her right hand, and continued to form the lotus mudra while silently reciting the Mahavairocana Sutra.

In the study of a manor on the outskirts of Yanjing, General Dukao removed his military cap, listened to a radio broadcast about a meteor shower, shook his head slightly, and narrowed his eyes.

Proxy war? It's only been a short while since things calmed down, and they... are getting restless again...

Chapter 346, Section 363: Who is the undercover agent?

The North, the Babylon Tower.

Amidst howling winds, snowflakes the size of paper danced in the air. In the distance, the coniferous forest was silent, and the sky had been transformed into birds of the Assault-class Honkai Beast, roaming and patrolling everywhere.

Achoo!

The unicorn-shaped Honkai Beast, tens of meters long, snorted and then looked around in confusion with its scarlet eyes.

It ultimately failed to detect anything amiss amidst the biting wind and snow, and continued to slumber on the snow, while nearby, there were tens of thousands of Honkai Beast swarming about.

Whew! That was close! These Honkai Beast are very sensitive to the smell of living things; we need to keep at least ten meters away!

The YoRHa Unit, fully activating its Optical Camouflage, piloted variable-speed fighter jets and raised the suspended commander by another three meters.

The Ghost Unit, blending seamlessly with the sky and earth, continued their infiltration and operations.

Found it! The 21st layer ring interface!

Following information from Valkyrie Patrick, the two YoRHa squads cautiously approached the weakest point of the Tower of Babylon Tower.

The research institute has 50 floors, with the bottom 20 floors housing the Honkai Reactor, and the top 30 floors belonging to three research departments.

The 21st floor, serving as a connecting and transitional floor, is separated and equipped with emergency escape routes to prevent accidents such as Honkai energy leakage.

This secret was naturally in the hands of [Schicksal], and Kevin, by saving Patrick and Theresa, indirectly obtained the complete blueprints for the [Babylon Tower].

Using their equipment, the group attached themselves to the outside of the wall, found their positions, and Theresa, who had been authorized before leaving the Schicksal Headquarters, pressed her fingerprint, and the dark entrance quietly opened.

The Snow Wolf Squad, skilled and daring, were the first to scout ahead. Suddenly, the sides of the tunnel lit up, and beams of purplish-red light spread out.

Kevin instinctively pulled A2 and 2B and jumped back towards the cave entrance, donning all sorts of protective gear, including Mental Barrier and Electromagnetic Shield.

At the same time, Theresa, who was next to the commander, turned pale like a frightened rabbit, turned around and darted behind Kevin, holding him firmly in front of her as a shield.

"What are you doing? It's just a special light that decomposes the dissipating Honkai energy. Is it really that big of a fuss?"

Patrick couldn't help but laugh at Kevin and Theresa's overreaction.

"Uh, I thought it was the Red Queen's laser corridor. I'm starting to have a bit of a psychological aversion to it..."

Kevin gave an awkward laugh, his tense muscles relaxing slightly, and he released his grip on A2 and 2B beside him.

"Coward! How shameful!"

Theresa raised her chin, gave a slight snort, and showed great disdain for Kevin's reaction.

"Hey, you're the only one who has no right to say that! Using me as a shield is one thing, but grabbing my waist and pulling hard—are you planning to throw me out if things get any bad?"

Kevin gritted his teeth and pried Theresa's claws off his waist, secretly making a grudge against her.

"Alright, stop fooling around. The emergency escape route on the 21st floor takes into account the emergency braking mechanism inherent in the Babylon Tower in the event of Honkai energy leak."

"Therefore, it is not connected to the main control system here; it can be turned on manually or controlled via an external computer... It's a very safe and user-friendly design..."

Patrick opened his handheld computer, raised the route map into the air, and presented it to everyone in a 3D projection mode.

Humanization? Judging from a series of details, the authorization for external activation is actually in the hands of Bishop Otto.

That old codger is clearly overly paranoid, deliberately keeping his distance from the researchers in the Babylon Laboratory.

After all, the establishment of [Anti-Entropy] stemmed from the betrayal of the scientists in the North American Branch Schicksal. Given this precedent, it's understandable that Otto, who likes to control the game, would leave these contingency plans.

"Alright! Now, calibrate the time! Let's reiterate the mission!"

Kevin raised his wristwatch and began final preparations for battle with Siegfried, who was temporarily in charge of the Snow Wolf Squad.

"First, in 30 seconds, I will lead the YoRHa Unit to activate Optical Camouflage and anti-detection procedures, and penetrate directly to the 37th floor to rescue the experimental subject."

"Once successful, we will immediately breach the 37th layer of the outer wall and transport all these prisoners to the B-17 military fortress..."

"Secondly, the Snow Wolf Squad will depart 15 minutes later, enter the lower level to shut down the Honkai energy reactor, and destroy that giant cannon!"

"If necessary, we must engage the Red Queen and her Second Generation Sentinel! Buy us time to retreat!"

"Third, if the [dome] collapses as predicted and communications are restored, immediately request reinforcements from the Schicksal Headquarters, or propose that the Russian Mikoyan Design Bureau airdrop Honkai energy weapons onto the B-17 military fortress!"

"After that, organize a counterattack! First, wipe out the Second Herrscher's remaining guards!"

After confirming that everything was correct, Siegfried nodded seriously. Under the watchful eyes of the Snow Wolf Squad, the YoRHa Unit, skilled in electronic warfare and invasion warfare, dispersed and advanced, their bodies gradually becoming transparent.

What a cunning little fellow! He left all the tough challenges to the Snow Wolf Squad, while he spent his time playing house with those girls who hadn't even grown their first hairs yet.

But those experimental prototypes are all registered at Schicksal Headquarters, and for Bishop Otto, each one is a very important data prototype. That old man won't give in easily.

Furthermore, due to the highly corrosive nature of Honkai energy, if they are released into society indiscriminately, their uncontrollable power could lead to heinous crimes.

Besides, these kids are antisocial and have no means of making a living, so it's better to send them to Kevin to give him a headache.

Anyway, his SCP Foundation is a large and wealthy organization, and it's the perfect place to support these little girls.

Theresa gazed at the Ghost Unit that had vanished completely into thin air, opened her mouth as if to speak, but then stopped herself.

Well, compared to joining the Far East Branch and becoming Valkyrie, returning to a normal life might be better for these rebellious children.

At the same time, on the 37th floor, an invisible wind swept by, and a seven-member Valkyrie squad in the corridor fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

Excellent! Everything is as I expected. They are just a group of children with some Honkai energy adaptability, and their physical abilities are at most slightly better than ordinary people.

If you reverse engineer some Honkai energy inhibitors from the [God Seat] series weapons and mix in some potent hypnotic gas, these untrained kids will all be rendered useless.

Alright, game time! Who's the undercover agent?

The seven Valkyrie were dragged into a small dark room and tightly bound by the YoRHa squad. Immediately, the air rippled like water as seven "undercover agents," whose appearances were replicated from the victims, were freshly made.

"Everyone, Door Opening! Someone in the team has fainted!"

Similar cries for help played out one after another between the Valkyrie patrol squad and the bedroom.

P. S.: I'm planning to portray Kevin and Theresa as rivals; it sounds quite interesting.
