A giant creature resembling a white elephant lay weakly on the ground, its head shattered, Honkai Energy reactions gone.

The culprit that had chased Su Qing'an across half the city was now a safe corpse.

"Emperor-class Honkai Beast codenamed Ganesha has been eliminated. Logistics, please come and clean up."

"A-rank Valkyrie Fu Hua has found a severely injured survivor from Changkong City. Medical team, prepare for surgery."

"This is quite a mess, the injuries..."

The girl tucked a strand of gray hair, blown by the wind onto her cheek, behind her ear, a helpless expression on her flawless, jade-like face.

Facing inevitable death, the boy who even laughed and punched fearlessly flashed a hint of familiarity in her blank memory.

There were no specific events, no detailed times, only a feeling of sadness that could be perceived in her heart.

It was a strange feeling, as if in the distant past, someone else had done the same thing.

Did she once have comrades like that who acted similarly?

While carefully sensing the sudden, inexplicable sadness and familiarity, Fu Hua didn't feel it was a bad thing. It was like finding a piece of bark in a furnace where the firewood was almost burnt out; everyone was happy it could provide warmth for a little longer, and the furnace itself was grateful it could burn a while more.

Clearly understanding where he was injured, Fu Hua used precise control over her strength and a princess carry to carefully pick up the unconscious Su Qing'an.

Although she could wait for the logistics team, given the boy's injuries, it would be safer to take him back to the Hyperion herself. With this level of blood loss, if they missed the golden hour for rescue, his life would be in great danger.

Ignoring the corpse of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast on the ground, Fu Hua carried the boy and left the devastated, chaotic place.

At this moment, Raiden Mei, seeing Kiana severely injured by a Temple-class Honkai Beast, was stimulated and uncontrollably transformed into a Herrscher again.

Changkong City was enveloped in lightning.

Above the sky, the Hyperion formally clashed with the Third Herrscher, Raiden Mei.

Fusion Core Armor: Crimson. Jizi stretched her body and began to put on the armor.

This special armor was created based on Destiny's old Valkyrie armor, equipped with the still-testing "Nexus System." It had two forms: a full-body type with integrated weaponry and a light type for mobility.

In its light form, the armor could operate independently.

However, to unleash the true power of the "Nexus System," it had to be connected to a large power supply unit in its full-body form.

And what Muryōtō Jizi chose at this moment was undoubtedly the latter.

When driven by battleship-level energy, its output power would reach a level surpassing that of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast. However, if operated for extended periods, the armor itself would face the danger of overload.

As a fully enhanced and specialized system, the "Nexus System" had almost no safety features designed into it. Therefore, the Far East Branch had listed the system as a last resort.

Despite this, Muryōtō Jizi did not hesitate to activate this dangerous armor when facing a troublesome Herrscher.

Even if the price was her lifespan.

As a Valkyrie, dying on the battlefield fighting Honkai was a common occurrence.

She was the captain and had to be responsible for everyone on the Hyperion, so dealing with the Herrscher was naturally her job.

However, feeling the dangerously expanding power within her body, Muryōtō Jizi sighed.

"I'm sorry, little one."

With insufficient personnel, not only could she not go to him herself, but she couldn't even dispatch additional personnel.

If I go to hell, you can blame me for being irresponsible, it's fine to be reckless.

Muryōtō Jizi, 25 years old, burning her life away, a mere mortal with little lifespan left.

"All ships, Level 1 alert!"

She raised her weapon and, today, issued a challenge to the high and mighty Herrscher.
