Onboard the Hyperion, Muryōtō Kiko gazed at the Honkai Energy concentration distribution on the screen's map, calmly issuing orders to the Valkyries.

"Team 1, proceed to point A."

"Team 2, proceed to point B."

"Major Himeko! Emperor-class Honkai Beast detected! Please issue orders." The logistics C-rank Valkyrie, who was constantly monitoring data, reported to Muryōtō Himeko.

"Emperor-class Honkai Beast? As expected, it's a Herrscher-level large-scale Honkai event. Use satellite positioning to scout the specific image of that location," Himeko furrowed her brow and said.

"Yes! Major Kiana. According to the analysis of the satellite data, this Emperor-class Honkai Beast is highly similar to the one that appeared in India in 2012, which resulted in the deaths of two A-rank Valkyries and severe injuries to twelve Valkyries."

"Its codename is Ganesha, named after the son of Shiva and Parvati in Indian mythology."

"Currently, based on the reaction from the source of the Honkai Energy index, Ganesha appears to be in the middle of a pursuit. Based on the satellite imagery of its past travel route, the suspected survivor in Changkong City has likely been fleeing its pursuit for at least ten minutes."

The screen displayed several images of the destruction caused by Ganesha. Viewed from above, it looked like someone had drawn several black lines with a brush, illustrating the exaggerated destructive power of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

A survivor? Could it be that little guy? The possibility of Su Qing'an's survival momentarily shook Jizi's composure.

Even though she understood that the probability of a male's Honkai Energy resistance and a boy's combat power, even under extremely rare circumstances, surviving the Honkai Infection after a Honkai outbreak, and still surviving Ganesha's pursuit, was virtually zero.

However, Muryōtō Himeko, this calm and decisive excellent commander, still spoke impulsively.

"I'll handle this Emperor-class Honkai Beast."

"Major Kiana, as the captain of the Hyperion, you are the linchpin of this operation. With headquarters already notifying us of a Herrscher-level Honkai Energy reaction, I do not recommend you personally take such a risk."

Jizi knew who was speaking. As one of the rare A-rank Valkyries at St. Freya Academy, the girl's excellence was undeniable. To become an A-rank in such a short time, whether it was combat proficiency, knowledge base, or that unflappable composure, she ranked among the top A-rank Valkyries.

If it were her opinion, even Muryōtō Hiko, as the captain, could not ignore it. Moreover, the moment the words left her mouth, she also understood their impropriety.

Personal feelings must never interfere with mission judgment. This was a basic quality of a Valkyrie. If she issued a wrong order or made a wrong judgment, everyone on the entire Hyperion would have to bear responsibility for her actions.

However, considering the reality of the situation, the lack of combat power made the available candidates to deal with Ganesha very few.

Without considering the existence of a Herrscher and her identity, the battle-hardened Kiana herself was indeed the best choice.

"Major Kiana, allow me to resolve that Emperor-class Honkai Beast." As if she had long understood the captain's dilemma, the girl's expression remained unchanged as she made the suggestion.

Her tone and expression were somewhat rigid and serious, yet as casual as if she were asking a street vendor for change, not applying to face an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

In such plain words, it conveyed not confidence in her own strength, but a kind of disregard.

It wasn't arrogance, nor confidence, nor fearlessness.

When Jizi heard the girl's words, she felt as if she had already seen the Emperor-class Honkai Beast lying dead on the ground.

She still feels so reliable and trustworthy. Even though I'm so much older than her, when I talk to her normally, I unconsciously forget the age difference.

To be honest, Himeko had never truly understood the girl. Everything about her was incredibly perfect, both as a Valkyrie and as a class monitor.

The girl seemed to maintain a sense of distance from everyone. Only occasionally would Himeko see her alone at St. Freya Academy, in her most genuine state. When her pure, ocean-like eyes gazed at the sky, the emptiness and bewilderment revealed left a deep impression on Himeko.

But setting those aside, her presence at this moment made Kiana feel much more at ease.

Yet, even for an excellent A-rank like the girl, there was still a risk of death when facing an Emperor-class Honkai Beast. Ordinary B-ranks, even if they joined the fight, would likely only be a burden, which made Himeko feel worried.

However, the current situation did not allow her to hesitate any longer.

"Then it's up to you, Fu Hua." Finally, Himeko nodded and said.
