Titan Dad Will Always Be Your Dad! (Continued)

"Be careful. This place used to be an important location in the Jiuyou. There might still be some traps or mechanisms here."

At this moment, Fu Hua kindly reminded Kiana and the others.

"Don't worry, squad leader! Even if there are traps, they were made by the ancients."

"Putting aside the fact that five thousand years have passed, even if there were some kind of trap, it wouldn't be able to hurt us."

Kiana looked confident and said something, then it was heard that her foot stepped on something.

"Huh?"

"Boom!"

The moment Kiana's feet left the ground, the entire stone chamber suddenly trembled violently, and dust fell from the ceiling. Before she could react, a sickeningly loud scraping sound of rocks grinding against each other came from above.

Watch out for what's above you!

Fu Hua's warning suddenly rang out.

Wow!

Kiana dodged with a side roll, and a deafening Tackle came from behind her—a granite boulder as tall as two people smashed into the ground, leaving spiderweb-like cracks, and the flying pebbles hit her head, still stinging a little.

"Cough cough... This isn't a trap, it's outright murder!"

Kiana, covered in dust and dirt, patted her heaving chest; her silver-white hair was now smeared with dust.

At that moment, Kiana's gaze involuntarily turned to what was in front of her, and there she saw that several enormous stone statues had appeared before her.

Kiana! Are you alright?

Mei and Bronya arrived at that moment and asked Kiana.

"It's nothing, but Mei, look, doesn't this statue look familiar?"

At this moment, Kiana had just answered that she was fine, and then she called everyone to look at the stone statue that had appeared in front of them.

"This? It does look familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

After hearing Kiana's words, Mei couldn't help but look at the moss-covered stone statue in front of her.

"It feels... like Titan Mech?"

Upon hearing this, Himeko also began to look at him.

Sure enough, the more I looked at it, the more it resembled Titan Mech.

"Oh right! It's Titan! No wonder it looked so familiar!"

Kiana suddenly clapped her hands, finally remembering what the stone statue in front of her looked like.

"I never expected to see Titan Mech or something in these ancient ruins... They probably just look similar."

Mei then commented.

"However, that is not the case."

However, Fu Hua then touched his glasses and said to everyone, "The name of these things, to be precise, should be called Ruin Guard. They were specially used by the ancients to guard ruins."

"What is this? It looks like Titan no matter how you look at it."

Kiana stared at the stone statue in front of her, refusing to believe it. Apart from the fact that it was made of stone, it seemed to be exactly the same as the Titan in every other way!

Especially that one-eyed thing... (Mijia's classic one-eyed robot; you can tell they really like the Zaku... By the way, although this thing doesn't even have a different model in the Yugi, it's definitely not Titan...)

Just then, Kiana suddenly noticed that the eyes of the stone statue in front of her seemed to be glowing red.

"Um, class monitor... if I remember correctly, these things should be from five thousand years ago, right?"

At this moment, Kiana asked Fu Hua with a stiff expression.

"Well, if we're talking about when this ruin was built, it should be about four or five thousand years old."

Fu Hua answered truthfully at this moment.

"So, they shouldn't be moving, right?"

Just as Kiana finished speaking, she suddenly saw the giant stone statue in front of her raise its right arm.

"Boom!"

As the enormous fist slammed into the ground, the surrounding ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

"Are you kidding me?! Why are even their attack methods exactly the same?! Is Titan still chasing me?!"

When Kiana saw the giant stone statue in front of her, she realized that it looked exactly like Titan once it started moving!

"I already told you, these are all Ruin Guard!"

"While it does resemble Titan, that's because Anti-Entropy's Titan were inspired by these Ruin Guard!"

At this moment, Fu Hua shouted loudly to Kiana.

"So it's Titan or ancient technology?! No wonder it's so powerful!"

"Wait a minute! So we were just getting thrashed by those ancient machines all along?! Modern Valkyrie can't even beat technology from Millennium?!"

"So Titan, like the ancient treasures, become stronger the older they are!"

Kiana kept complaining at this moment.

If she knew that the prototypes of these guys could actually be traced back tens of thousands of years, she would probably be even more devastated.

Just like what T said, the technology in the Honkai world is indeed more powerful the older it is.

The same is true for the Holy Relic... Well, even after Millennium, the Valkyrie are still getting beaten up by the Titan.

All I can say is that Titan Dad will always be your dad.

Kiana felt like she was going crazy facing these ancient Titan Dad.

Why do I feel like I see these guys no matter what mission I'm on?

It was one thing for Anti-Entropy to intervene before, but how come we can still see Titan inside ancient ruins?

"Damn it! Even if they're ancient Titan, this is outrageous! Even if they're real Titan, we could dismantle them right now! A bunch of scrap metal that's been around for thousands of Millennium! Die, you piece of junk!"

"Boom--!"

Kiana's dual pistols instantly combined into a massive shockwave cannon, the blazing white beam blasting the foremost Ruin Guard to shreds. Amidst the flying debris, she executed a backflip, landing gracefully, and triumphantly blew away non-existent smoke from the cannon's muzzle. "Hmph! What ancient Titan? Before my new equipment—"

"Kiana, watch out!"

Mei's exclamation interrupted her. Suddenly, the single eye of the other two Ruin Guard lit up with a blinding red light, unleashing a barrage of arrows.

"Kiana, get out of the way!"

Fu Hua's pupils behind her glasses suddenly contracted, and her figure flashed in front of the crowd like a ghost.

Her hands moved almost in a blur, Setsuna deflecting all the arrows raining down in front of her.

The sound of metal clashing rang out like a sudden downpour, and several arrows that had escaped the net were deeply embedded in the ground, their fletchings still vibrating at a high frequency.

"Squad leader!"

Mei shouted loudly at Fu Hua, and then her katana crackled with purple lightning as she transformed into a bolt of lightning, flashing past Fu Hua. The blade flashed, and the Ruin Guard's raised arm was severed at the root, strange blue sparks erupting from the cut.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Project Bunny in the rear had already aimed at these Titan.

With a deafening roar, these guys were instantly engulfed by the overwhelming firepower.

"It seems you have indeed grown."

At this moment, Himeko, who hadn't made a move at all, watched as her students dealt with all the enemies in just a few moves, and a look of pride and melancholy appeared on her face.

Once upon a time, these little guys couldn't even beat a Titan.

Now, everyone's abilities have reached the A-level standard.

"Hmph, of course. I'm determined to become S-rank Valkyrie."

Kiana became quite smug upon hearing Himeko's praise.

I wonder who was startled by the ancient Titan suddenly moving.

"Stop being so arrogant."

"More than anything, we'd better get out of here as soon as possible."

"Although I don't know what that organization called World Serpent is up to, they should have discovered us by now, given the commotion we just witnessed."

Bronya then spoke to Kiana.

"Hmph! Even if those people come, I won't be afraid at all!"

"What World Serpent? This young lady..."

Just as Kiana was about to say that she wasn't afraid at all, the ground suddenly started shaking again.

"What's wrong this time?!"

Kiana and the others quickly turned around, only to see a group of Titan robots reappear in front of them.

"Wait a minute! Is this also an ancient Titan?"

Kiana pointed to the group of robots in front of her that looked extremely high-tech.

"Obviously, that's not it."

Bronya, with a nonchalant expression, stared at the Titan before her.

"To be precise, these are not Titan either."

"According to intelligence, this should be a robot independently developed by the World Serpent based on ancient technology. Its name is Sky Guard..."

"So, it seems like we're the Schicksal who don't have Titan? This time, they won't even give us a skin change!"

Kiana was speechless at this point.

Is this Titan project never going to end?

Are there really more than Pokemon?

Whether in fire, water, grass, or forest.

In the soil, in the clouds, or in that girl's skirt.

You can find the legendary Titan there.

"Don't just stand there! Be careful with these guys!"

Looking at these new robots that resembled Titan but actually had other names, Himeko finally took out her weapon.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"What's that noise? Why are rocks falling from this hole?"

Before a massive stone gate, the Jackal was dodging a stone falling from above her head with a look of disgust.

The Raven standing beside her glanced lazily at the people behind them.

"Someone must be coming. It seems our guards outside have been alerted."

"What? Someone's here? Is it Anti-Entropy or Schicksal?"

Upon hearing Raven's words, the Jackal immediately took out the surveillance footage and began to check it.

Who are these people?

Jackal looked at the Valkyrie appearing on the screen, and was puzzled for a moment. Then, their information immediately came to mind.

"So you're from St. Freya's group."

"That guy Otto didn't send his most elite Immortal Blades, but instead sent his granddaughter to investigate?"

"St. Freya? I remember that should be the strongest branch of Schicksal, right?"

At this moment, the Raven tossed a coin and asked the Jackal a question.

"If we only consider the configuration, St. Freya can indeed be said to be the strongest branch."

"However, ha, most of the Valkyrie inside are just a bunch of kids who haven't really carried out any missions."

A cold smile appeared on Jackal's face. "They didn't even send out an S-rank Valkyrie, but instead sent out a bunch of little girls."
