Five minutes later, Xina, working the night shift in the New North American Branch's control room, received a message Destiny Headquarters had sent to all branches. Looking at the report that needed to be submitted to the branch leader, she fell into thought.
What did they mean by, "Monitor Jormungandr's movements and report them to Headquarters, while promptly dispatching personnel to intercept it"?
So even a little messing around would get noticed?
Fine, you win. I won't mess around anymore!
With that thought, Xina silently contacted her Vassal, which was currently wriggling about in the Pacific Ocean, and gave it an order:
Go dig a hole beneath the Arctic ice and hide there... No, suddenly stopping after this job would probably draw attention too.
Let me see... There's another Honkai energy reactor on North America's east coast. That's Anti-Entropy territory too, and Destiny's reach doesn't extend that far. Go dig out that reactor's core as well!
While disgusting Anti-Entropy, she could also disgust Destiny along the way.
Anti-Entropy had originally been Destiny's North American Branch. However, after the First Honkai Eruption, Otto's series of actions had been far too absurd.
In the end, the branch had angrily broken away from Destiny and begun its "happy life" of constantly sabotaging Destiny day after day.
Today, after suffering a missile barrage, Anti-Entropy's upper ranks gathered once more for a serious meeting.
"Colleagues, according to the latest intelligence, Jormungandr, the Emperor-class Honkai Beast that awakened at the site of the Fourth Honkai Eruption and was assessed by Destiny, attacked our largest Honkai energy reactor within Anti-Entropy territory—the Golden Palace—early this morning, inflicting severe losses on our mech forces."
"Meanwhile, Destiny's forward outpost meant to keep us in check—the so-called New North American Branch—took this opportunity to kick us while we were down.
