The Arrival of Hyperion

Changkong City. Hyperion Battleship

On the Hyperion battleship, Theresa Apocalypse felt a bit awkward.

When she was first assigned the mission [Capture the Third Herrscher alive], she didn't think it was impossible.

With her own strength and the Divine Key [Oath of Judah], she possessed the combat power of an S-rank Valkyrie.

Her comrade, Himeko Murata, although only an A-rank Valkyrie, could, by burning her life force and cooperating with Hyperion's secret weapon, the [Nexus] system, unleash combat power comparable to a Herrscher.

Logically, with the two of them teaming up and utilizing the Hyperion battleship, capturing a Third Herrscher shouldn't be a difficult task.

However, after arriving near Changkong City, the two of them were dumbfounded.

Himeko had already put on her gear, only for Theresa to tell her that energy fluctuations resembling those of a Fourth Herrscher had appeared.

Before Theresa could finish speaking, the staff contacted them again, informing them that the Fourth Herrscher's energy fluctuations had disappeared.

Less than a minute later, the staff contacted them again, reporting new Herrscher fluctuations.

At this point, neither of them wanted to say anything.

Himeko removed her gear, and she and Theresa returned to the bridge.

Meanwhile, Schicksal Headquarters, upon hearing this news, was already in chaos.

Although Schicksal's various regional branches had leaders of Theresa's caliber, in this era, Honkai had only occurred twice.

In other words, among the current branch leaders, Theresa seemed to be the only one with experience dealing with Herrschers.

Upon learning that three Herrscher fluctuations had suddenly appeared in Changkong City, how could these leaders, who were strong in theory but lacked practical experience, remain seated?

If not for Theresa's identity as the [Grand Bishop's Granddaughter], others might have already seized the opportunity to attack and question the staff and Honkai Energy detection instruments under the Far East Branch.

"Alright, quiet down!"

Just as everyone was in an uproar, a figure suddenly appeared on Schicksal Headquarters' central display screen.

"Everyone, there's no need to panic."

Upon seeing the person on the screen, everyone fell silent.

Regardless of whether the Schicksal branch members had conflicts or good relationships with each other, in front of this man, they wouldn't display any unusual expressions.

After all, in their eyes, Otto Apocalypse, who had lived for five hundred years, was like a god within Schicksal.

In terms of authority, no one could be more authoritative in Schicksal than him, who had lived for five hundred years.

In terms of achievements, Otto's research had indeed given humanity the power to resist Honkai.

Although Otto wasn't entirely without flaws, no one cared about that.

Those who held positions as Schicksal branch leaders were well aware that although Schicksal had branches, it was essentially Otto's absolute rule.

If you displeased him, or if he deemed you worthless, your disappearance from the face of the earth wouldn't be far off.

If nothing else, Otto's ability to promote an artificial Valkyrie to head the Far East Branch was the best evidence.

"Theresa, according to the Far East Branch staff's survey, three Herrschers have appeared consecutively now, correct?"

Looking at the smiling 'youth', Theresa replied neither subserviently nor arrogantly.

"Yes, so I request reinforcements from Headquarters."

"If there are truly three Herrschers, the Far East Branch's combat power is insufficient to complete the mission."

Although Theresa was deeply dissatisfied with some of Otto's actions, in this situation, she couldn't afford to save face for her own inner thoughts at this moment.

She was, after all, someone who had lived for over forty years and had held her position at the Far East Branch for some time.

At a critical juncture like this, how could she not grasp the gravity of the situation and put her subordinates in the Far East Branch in danger for her personal feelings? Hahahaha.

"It's alright, don't worry, my dear granddaughter."

With a gentle snap of his fingers, Otto said kindly.

"The strongest unit under my command has already departed. If I recall correctly, they should have already arrived near the Hyperion."

"The strongest unit... could it be?!"

Upon hearing this, Theresa immediately looked towards the battleship's deck.

"Schicksal Headquarters' Valkyrie Squad [Blade of Immortality], here to provide support."

On the deck, a golden-haired girl with a stern expression and a short-haired girl with a gentle smile looking towards the bridge, along with a team of Valkyries, landed on the deck.

"Durandal... Rita..."

Upon seeing the two leading Valkyries, Theresa suddenly understood.

The Hyperion battleship had an anti-air system. Even if the [Blade of Immortality] squad was a friendly unit belonging to Schicksal, their approach would at least trigger an alert from the battleship's defense system.

But just now, neither Theresa nor Himeko had heard any notification from the defense system.

"I understand, Grandfather. I will complete the mission."

After saying this, Theresa looked towards the Valkyries on the deck.

She didn't know if Otto had done it on purpose or had completely forgotten about it.

But now, she could basically guess...

--Hyperion's defense system had long been casually cracked by Otto.

At the same time. Changkong City. A certain area.

After Yae Sakura and Yae Rin reunited, Gu Yu's team's combat power had expanded to a certain extent...

--Yeah, right!

After organizing his thoughts a bit, Gu Yu felt that he wasn't leading a bunch of powerhouses, but a bunch of time bombs.

The Herrscher of Thunder, the Herrscher of the Void, and the Corrosion Herrscher were undoubtedly strong.

However, if the Herrscher of Thunder and the Herrscher of the Void truly awakened, those two would probably ignore everything else and tear Gu Yu apart first, then fight over the Conquest Gem, this Herrscher Core.

As for the Corrosion Herrscher... Gu Yu felt that even if he wanted to release Hiyorimar now, Hiyorimar would shrink back into its card.

And although Yuno was once a Pseudo Herrscher, now that her Honkai Energy had been drained and she was still unconscious, her combat power was essentially negative.

Thinking carefully, the only ones who could be considered combat power were Yae Sakura, this Pseudo Herrscher.

And Bronya... who could summon Project Bunny.

With this kind of team composition, they couldn't just fight their way out; they had to be even more careful.

"Wait, what is this thing..."

After his vision was blocked by a huge shadow in the sky, Gu Yu looked up with a bad feeling.

"Hyperion has finally arrived. At least for now, I don't have to run out of Changkong City."

"But for some reason..."

"--I just feel so flustered?"
