"Shut up, Elysia." Mobius's fair forehead throbbed with veins, wishing she could invent a spray that would shut people up and then spray it all over Elysia's face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Su shook his head.

"Which idiot invented this? Injecting Honkai Beasts into people's bodies." Kalpas scoffed disdainfully.

"Uh..."

Yaqing glanced sideways at Mobius's pretty face.

"Me?" Mobius looked around, finding only the 'pure and foolish' Elysia, and pointed at herself in disbelief.

Mobius felt offended.

[Meanwhile, at the Anti-Entropy Yellowstone Base, Siegfried, having returned to Earth, didn't dare look Einstein and Tesla in the eye. He silently handed Tesla the suitcase containing Honkai Steel and technology, and walked past the tearful Tesla. He locked himself in a room, drinking and wallowing in self-pity, listening to disaster news on TV. Siegfried suddenly sobered up, realizing that the Second Herrscher had gone back on its word and attacked Earth. Worried about his wife and daughter, he hurriedly threw away the empty beer cans. At this moment, Einstein, who was examining the Honkai Steel, blocked Siegfried's path, telling him that the information in the Honkai Steel was related to the Kaslana family. The scene returned to the Destiny Sky Island. In a Valkyrie residential area, Cheng Lixue was gently playing the zither. This gentle temperament contrasted with her coldness on the battlefield, making it hard not to love her. A golden feather slowly landed on the zither strings. Cheng Lixue quickly got up, pushed open the door, and looked joyfully at the person who had come to the hall. "Master, you're here!" Fu Hua stared blankly at the painting hanging on the wall. Hearing Cheng Lixue's call, she came back to her senses, refused Cheng Lixue's invitation, and told her not to worry. "Master will protect you." The moment the feather fell, the scene changed rapidly. In a flowery meadow, Fu Hua looked up slightly. "The flowers are blooming so early this year." "Winter is gone and spring has come again, and Lixue has grown up..."

"Old fossil, when did you take on another disciple?" Shishi asked in surprise.

"I didn't," Fu Hua said blankly. "I only have one disciple, Sushang."

Fu Hua was twenty years old and only had one disciple, the twenty-four-year-old Li Sushang. Facing a master who was four years younger than her, Li Sushang could also act spoiled and call her "Master, Master."

"Actually, I initially wanted the role of Fu Hua..." Cheng Lixue said softly.

"Lixue-er, what are your thoughts on having a master who is ten years younger than you?" Salome giggled, covering her mouth.

"Why is Kira able to survive?"

"I suspect..." Rita said with a smile, "Lord Yaqing might like Miss Kira."

"What the heck, Rita, where did you get this firsthand information?" The beauties were shocked and looked at Rita.

Rita squinted like a fox.

"Of course it's..."

[In the Destiny training room, Shub felt that her abilities were not enough, which led to Salome's death. She frantically trained, squeezing out her potential. At this time, Cecilia, who had not been on the battlefield for a long time, also came to the training ground and proposed to train with Shub. However, Shub, as an A-Rank Valkyrie, couldn't even withstand a single blow from Cecilia. After fainting, Cecilia gently let her rest on her lap, and when Shub woke up, she comforted her gently.

"So gentle!"

"Madam really doesn't look like she's given birth to a child at all."

"I'll always love Cecilia!"

"Mommy is so pretty and gentle." Kiana deliberately snuggled into Mei's arms and said loudly, "I'll always love Mommy!"

"Old fossil, you're quite good-looking." Fuhua Shishi said casually, "It seems that after this movie, you're going to become a big star."

"Shishi, don't talk nonsense." Fu Hua blushed.

[The Destiny Valkyries watched Otto's pre-war speech on the big screen. "Today, the devil has once again invaded our homeland. Killing our relatives, destroying our cities, it thinks we will be afraid and can easily destroy us. It is wrong, the warriors of Destiny will never give in!" "For five hundred years, we have been preparing for this moment. We want to tell it that humanity will not let it slaughter us! We are the warriors of Destiny, and we will protect our homeland!" Among the many Valkyries, Shigure Kira looked back slightly. "In the north, we will fight the devil in the sky. The strongest Valkyrie, Cecilia, has returned, and she will dispel the storm for us." Cecilia raised the huge lance in her hand. "In the south, we will fight the devil on the sea. Our respected commander, Cheng Lixue, will lead us to defend every inch of land." Ruoshui in Cheng Lixue's hand emitted bursts of cold light. "In the east, we will take back our city from the devil's hands. This time, I, Otto Apocalypse, will join you all - to fight the devil to the death!" Otto raised his hands. And on a certain parapet, Fu Hua showed a back view, crossing her legs, "Otto, how much of what you just said... was sincere?"

Chapter 28: Lunar Finality

"If I didn't know that clown-masked guy was Otto, I would have been fooled." Kevin's lips twitched. Destiny's pre-war speeches were truly inspiring, provided the person saying them wasn't Otto.

"People like that are the scariest," Mei said. Before knowing Otto's thoughts, no one could clearly see where Otto's next move would land, and even if you did know, it was only what Otto wanted you to know.

Speaking of this type of person, Mei subconsciously looked towards Yaqing.

Even Mobius couldn't claim to understand Yaqing. When everyone thought he was gentle, he could sink living people into the cold sea without changing his expression. When everyone thought he was cold, he would silently donate to Aponia's orphanage.

You can't define these people with good or evil, because they themselves stand at the end of both.

"Mei."

Yaqing's voice interrupted Mei's gaze.

It also attracted everyone's attention.

"Actually, these kinds of people aren't scary. They're very simple, so simple that they only move forward for one goal, using any means necessary to achieve it, not even caring about their own lives." Yaqing's voice was very calm, but it contained a hint of excited trembling.

"Uh..."

Everyone looked at him strangely, afraid that he would blurt out the next sentence: Bishop Otto, take us to XXXXX!

"So hype, but why is it Otto, that bastard!!!" Welt Yang let out a sharp burst of sound.

[The pre-war speech to encourage the Valkyries has ended, and Bishop Otto didn't stop for a moment. Amber informed him of a communication from Anti-Entropy. Anti-Entropy said they wanted to keep Ziegfried for one more day because they had analyzed Kaslana's information data from the Honkai Steel they brought back from the moon and needed Ziegfried's DNA key to cooperate with the decryption. From Anti-Entropy's few words, Otto keenly realized that Welt was not present, and speculated that Welt had died on the moon. Shaking his glass of red wine, although he regretted not obtaining first-hand information, his current focus was still on the Pseudo Herrscher of Death. Otto agreed to Einstein's request and ordered Amber not to let anyone disturb him in the following time. For tomorrow's battle, he needed to adjust this body to its best condition.]

"Is the Pseudo Herrscher of Death that important? Otto even chose to postpone the information left by the Previous Era." Mei frowned.

"The Herrscher of Death is very powerful." Yaqing nodded and said, "The strongest warriors of the Previous Era were only silent after encountering the Herrscher of Death."

"Huh?" Mei was shocked.

"Just kidding." Yaqing laughed: "The Herrscher of Death's authority may be a world-destroying storm for humans, but for Otto, it is the dawn of hope, provided that Otto thinks it is a ray of light."

Mei, Mobius, Vill-V, and Su were thoughtful, while the others were still watching the movie, especially Kevin, who was sitting closest to Yaqing, but wasn't thinking at all.

[Far away in the Anti-Entropy laboratory, Ziegfried put on the data connector developed by Einstein, connecting his brain to the Honkai Steel database. As the data transformed, the scene in front of Ziegfried changed. The realistic scene made him wonder if he had returned to the moon again. In front of him was a young man holding the Judgement of Shamash. As the Judgement of Shamash slowly inserted into the lunar soil, eight figures lined up next to the young man. Unfortunately, darkness covered their faces. Only through the light of the Judgement of Shamash could he vaguely see that the person on the young man's left seemed to be Fu Hua, who had already appeared, while the person on the right could not be seen clearly. "What you are seeing now is the final battle of the Previous Era." "Participating in this battle were the only eight remaining strongest warriors of human civilization." "One of them seems to be a Kaslana ancestor." "And their opponent is the legendary, and also the strongest, Herrscher—" Ziegfried saw a pair of huge hands reaching towards the moon. He turned his head sharply and saw a white-haired girl standing in the universe, with the Earth and the moon in her palm like toys. Although this scene had already appeared, it was different from what Sirin saw. The scene's color tone became darker, and the girl's eyes and the patterns on her body also emitted a cold light.]

"The sense of oppression is so strong..." The weak cat is scared online.

"Is this the enemy that human civilization will eventually face?"

"I can't imagine how the people of the Previous Era sealed a part of her power on the moon." Mobius glanced at Mei.

"That's Brother Kevin!" Ling reached out her hand.

"And Fu Hua," Sakura said.

"The last eight strongest warriors of civilization, although it sounds very domineering, what kind of tragic battle is hidden behind that title?" As a representative of rationality, Mei's perspective on problems is different from ordinary people.

[February 16, 2000, the Valkyrie squad led by Amber stepped into Novosibirsk, which was shrouded in black fog. However, in the pitch-black darkness, the Pseudo Herrscher of Death easily solved the Valkyrie squad. In a strange apology, she took off Amber's gas mask. "How... how... is this possible, Lord... Otto... I..." Amber, who inhaled the black fog, quickly lost consciousness. The screen changed immediately, and ginkgo flowers slowly fell on the still water. Cheng Lixue, holding a sword and closing her eyes, appeared. The swordsmanship she practiced came from the Tai Xu Sword Heart created by the Chi Yuan Immortal of Tai Xu Mountain, which is divided into four realms: "Still Water - Dustless - Clear Mirror - Tai Xu". However, Cheng Lixue was naturally intelligent, but because of her inner demons, it was difficult for her to enter the Dustless realm. It was when she called out the word "Master" that Fu Hua smiled gently, but it was difficult to hide the sadness in her eyes, as well as the unannounced departure the next day. Various reasons weighed on Cheng Lixue's heart. If the inner demons were not eliminated, it would be difficult to enter the Dustless realm. She planned to use the Pseudo Herrscher of Flame to temper herself. She swung the tenth Divine Key, Ruoshui, fiercely, and endless water flow turned into a tornado of water blades, slashing towards the girl in mid-air. "Take this sword of mine!" The Pseudo Herrscher of Flame was not panicked at all. The flames she controlled exceeded a high temperature of five thousand degrees. With just one blow, the tornado of water blades instantly evaporated. Even the Divine Key Ruoshui could not withstand the high temperature, and the sword body made a cracking sound. At this time, the Pseudo Herrscher seemed to be tired of playing, and an extremely hot ray of light shot through Cheng Lixue's abdomen.]

"Old timer, that child is so good, gentle, sensible, and knows how to respect you, why don't you approve of her?" Little Shishi complained for Cheng Lixue.

"That's right, Class Monitor, I feel sorry for Cheng Lixue." Kiana nodded busily.

"I don't know..." Fu Hua wasn't clear about the past in the plot, but she still felt something. The sadness in the plot, she seriously said: "If it were me, I would definitely teach her carefully."

"Uh... Lixue seems to be thirty years old, right? Compared to her, you guys are more like children." Theresa scratched her head.

"Ah?!"

"I didn't expect the strongest A-Rank Valkyrie to not even last a single move against the Herrscher. It seems Otto overestimated them. A-Rank Valkyries are simply incapable of slowing down the Herrscher's advance," Mobius analyzed.

"And the Divine Key... Does the Tenth Divine Key control the flow of water? It seems a bit weak," Vill-V said. "Its power is nowhere near as impressive as the Star of Eden or Judah. Is it the user? Or is it the Divine Key itself?"

Chapter 29: The Bugle of Counterattack

[February 16th. After destroying several cities in Finland, a tornado generated by Honkai energy crossed the Baltic Sea and is about to make landfall in Germany. Lewis, the B-Rank Valkyrie ground squad leader guarding the coastline, immediately ordered all ground forces to open fire on the tornado.

Inside the operations command center, A-Rank Valkyrie Shigure Kira, through the ground forces' baiting operation, used satellites to precisely locate the Herrscher's coordinates. Confidently, she sent the coordinates to Cecilia, who had been waiting for a long time.]
