Himeko, My Ship!

Changkong City. Hyperion Battleship

Before Blade of Immortality and Theresa went down, Himeko Murata had once again returned to the vicinity of the Nexus System and linked with it.

And now, after receiving a message from Theresa, Himeko Murata breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although she had already prepared herself for a fight to the death here, that didn't mean she didn't cherish her life.

If there were any other choice, who would want to risk their life every single day?

Regardless, Himeko Murata felt that Theresa had handled this incident rather well, for the time being.

Not having to fight a Herrscher was better than anything.

"But, I feel like something's a bit strange."

After disconnecting from the Nexus System, Himeko Murata muttered to herself belatedly.

"Bringing a Herrscher onto the Hyperion is also very dangerous, isn't it?"

"Is Theresa going to mess this up for me at this critical juncture?"

Once she thought about this happening right next to her, Himeko Murata suddenly became more and more flustered the more she thought about it.

The Herrscher showing kindness... it sounded utterly ridiculous.

What if they were just pretending to be kind and jumped onto the Hyperion to unleash their power?

Everyone on this ship would be buried alive, for crying out loud.

The more she thought about it, the more Himeko Murata panicked. While frantically sending messages to Theresa, she began to run quickly towards the bridge.

She felt her sixth sense telling her, from deep within.

If this group came aboard the Hyperion, something bad was bound to happen!

At the same time. Hyperion Bridge

Under Theresa's persuasion, everyone finally decided to take a temporary rest on the Hyperion before making further plans.

Yuno... well, she was still unconscious.

Even though less than an hour had passed since Gu Yu knocked Yuno out, Bronya felt as if Project Bunny had been holding her for a very long time.

It was an illusion, it must be an illusion.

As for Bronya, she had lost her memory and suspected that Anti-Entropy might be an organization that persecuted her. She had already begun looking for an opportunity to join Schicksal.

Theresa's invitation was undoubtedly a godsend to Bronya.

The St. Freya Academy, which ordinary people had virtually no way of joining, was personally inviting her to join?

It was as if she were dreaming.

As for Kiana and Mei, they also felt that Theresa's words were not entirely unreasonable.

Kiana had wandered alone from Europe to the Far East during the four years Siegfried was missing.

To say that she held no grudges against her scumbag father, Siegfried Kaslana, was clearly impossible.

From Theresa's words, this petite girl seemed to have a close relationship with her and even seemed to know Siegfried's whereabouts.

How could Kiana possibly let go of this source of information right in front of her?

As for Raiden Mei's thoughts, they were even simpler.

After confirming that she was the Herrscher of Thunder, the kind-hearted girl was very worried about the [Demon] inside her appearing again.

If this demon took over her consciousness again, it would inevitably launch another slaughter against humanity.

The primary target of this slaughter would undoubtedly be Gu Yu, who had knocked her out last time.

Raiden Mei did not want to become a demon who took her benefactor's life. Because of this thought, she had even considered ending her own life.

And now, Theresa was actually offering to find someone to train Mei, to help her try to master the Herrscher's power.

So, Raiden Mei naturally wanted to try and see if she could master this powerful force.

After glancing at the boy who was still in his Transformation Armor, certain thoughts surfaced silently in Raiden Mei's mind.

If I had this power, I wouldn't have to keep watching Gu Yu fight anymore.

I can't always rely on him whenever I encounter difficulties...

Instead, I should become his strength!

As for Yae Sakura, she felt a little uncomfortable looking at the companions she had just met.

Here, she was the only one without a clear objective.

If it weren't for following Gu Yu out of a sense of obligation, Yae Sakura wouldn't even know what she should do next.

Lost, she was utterly lost.

"Um, I was saying."

Looking at everyone lost in their own thoughts, Theresa looked up and gazed at the Armored Boy in front of her.

"The Hyperion is, after all, one of Schicksal's strongest battleships. It's absolutely safe here."

"Even if a Herrscher shows up, the Hyperion can still put up a decent fight. Why are you so nervous?"

Everyone agreed to Theresa's proposal, which Theresa felt showed them some respect.

However, the young man leading this group remained on high alert, as if guarding against a thief, even after boarding the Hyperion.

What's going on? Is this a snub to Theresa Apocalypse?

"Hah, I was just attacked. You expect me to relax?"

As he spoke, Gu Yu shot a cold glance at Rita, who was chuckling beside them.

"Keep this woman away from me."

"At least fifteen meters!"

"Rita?"

"Understood, Lady Theresa."

Despite Gu Yu's obvious rejection, Rita maintained her smile and obeyed Theresa's subtle hint, moving to a spot some distance away from the group.

Still, Theresa felt a prickle of unease as Rita's gaze lingered on her.

That woman's eyes are still unsettling!

"So, can I take off this armor now?"

Seeing the girl who had made him so wary move away, Gu Yu nodded to Theresa and deactivated his transformation.

Since a while ago, Gu Yu had been feeling a slight mental fatigue.

Even though only about a day had passed since his transmigration, Gu Yu felt as if he hadn't rested in a very long time.

It was as if he had been working overtime day and night for over twenty days, feeling completely drained.

And while maintaining his transformation earlier, Gu Yu had also been on guard against Rita Roosevelt.

Under these circumstances, the energy Gu Yu expended was far greater than usual.

At this moment, with his guard slightly lowered, Gu Yu suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion wash over his consciousness.

"Wait... I suddenly feel... so tired..."

Clutching his throbbing head, Gu Yu unexpectedly collapsed onto the Hyperion's battleship deck with a loud thud.

"Elder Brother Gu?"

Kiana, the first to notice Gu Yu's collapse, quickly rushed to his side.

But before she could reach him, a startled cry came from a Hyperion crew member.

"L-Lady Theresa, something's wrong!"

"What happened exactly?!"

Himeko Murata, who had just rushed to the bridge, reprimanded the flustered crew member with a stern expression.

"To panic over a minor malfunction like this? If we faced a Herrscher, your attitude could get everyone killed, you understand!"

"B-but, Major Himeko!"

Looking at the wildly fluctuating readings on the instruments, the crew member responded with tears welling up.

"The Hyperion's Honkai Energy Reactor is experiencing a massive power drop. Preliminary assessment suggests the Honkai Energy is being siphoned by some entity."

"At this rate... the Hyperion will sink in less than three minutes!"

Hearing this, Himeko Murata felt her vision go black, almost passing out.

What in the world is going on?

She only went to the Nexus System for ten minutes, right?

How did things get this bad????
