Between the two, the battered magical girl used her petite body to hold up humanity's final line of defense.
"I can't lose, I can't lose! Everyone is waiting for meeeee!"
Boom!!!
After being briefly suppressed, the colorful beam on the right struck the Battle Moon with terrifying force.
The dazzling light made everyone's cheeks feel its uniquely scorching heat.
Kunjin Society!
Once the light faded.
The magical girl, whose clothes had been blasted completely away, let her arms hang limp as she gave them a brave smile.
"Everyone, justice has defeated evil!"
Xiao Huasheng coughed lightly at the sight.
"Looks like you have a problem with clothes too."
Hearing Xiao Huasheng's words, Queen of Hatred froze for a moment before hurriedly covering her most crucial parts.
But even that left some things exposed.
There was nothing in space to hide behind.
"Waaah! Don't, don't look!"
Unlike Angel, this one was real.
Even as an Abnormality, she simulated as much of being human as possible.
Queen of Hatred quickly came to the red-haired Angel's side, blushing as she lightly tapped her head with her magic wand and cried out.
"I-I want to go back! Sob, sob, sob!"
"Thanks for your hard work."
After thanking her, Xiao Huasheng pressed her hand against Queen of Hatred's little belly and put her away.
Fortunately, after returning to Lobotomy Corporation, Queen of Hatred's clothes regenerated, making her breathe a sigh of relief as well.
"Is it over?"
The Ultramarines, who had been prepared to become martyrs, spoke up after seeing the Ork Battle Moon evaporated so thoroughly that not even scraps remained.
"Hehe, wasn't I amazing?"
The red-haired Angel began fishing for praise, sticking out her tongue at them.
Even though she had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Without question, the deeds of Queen of Hatred and Xiao Huasheng would be firmly recorded in Warhammer's history.
The Librarian who had originally still harbored some heretical prejudice toward Xiao Huasheng.
Now removed his helmet, tucked it beneath his arm, and slowly lowered himself to one knee before the red-haired Angel.
"I swear that no matter what you truly are, you will forever be our guest."
As the Librarian knelt, the other Ultramarines, even the captain, all lowered themselves to one knee before Xiao Huasheng.
They devoutly thanked this strange girl—on behalf of the Imperium, and on behalf of the Ultramarines.
Somewhere in the depths of his mind, the Librarian had wanted to do this, and felt that he absolutely had to.
A voice in the Warp had told him so.
That was why he had made such a gesture.
The other Astartes expressed their most sincere gratitude to Xiao Huasheng.
No matter what, they accepted these Angel sisters from the bottom of their hearts and knew that they could never be heretics.
Seeing them act this way.
Xiao Huasheng hurriedly waved her hands and said shyly, "If you want to thank someone, thank Queen of Hatred. What does it have to do with me... This is so embarrassing."
Her face immediately turned red, and she felt deeply awkward.
But at that moment, she suddenly discovered that her body was rapidly becoming translucent.
"Eh, eh... eh?" She watched helplessly as she became more and more transparent.
With a pop.
Her entire body vanished from where she stood.
Leaving behind the bewildered Ultramarines.
After this incident, no one was ever able to find the red-haired Angel or the blue-haired girl again.
But one thing was certain.
They had truly existed and had once brought a sliver of light to the Imperium.
Within the Foundation.
Generally speaking.
Reality Stabilization Anchors were created by humans and were extremely rare.
Their greatest function was to draw "reality" from other universes to stabilize the reality of their own universe.
There was something of theft about it.
And the universes whose reality was drawn away were usually lifeless ones.
Or universes that had undergone heat death.
They were safe to draw from, without having to worry about anything bad happening within them.
Reality Stabilization Anchors were also a means of suppressing Reality Benders. The higher their grade, the more terrifying the beings they could suppress.
Of course, there were also some naturally occurring Reality Stabilization Anchors, such as a "Reality Slot," but they were just as exceedingly rare.
The Foundation had very few things like Reality Stabilization Anchors.
As for why such a Reality Stabilization Anchor could appear.
A Reality Stabilization Anchor capable of stabilizing a reality-warping entity?
That was beyond the Foundation's understanding.
A Reality Stabilization Anchor like this would be an overwhelmingly powerful existence in any world.
For example, in a world of swords and magic, there would probably be nothing left but swords. That was truly terrifying.
It could erase nearly all anomalous factors.
It could stabilize a "reality-warping entity" capable of destroying an entire universe.
The reality it drew upon had, at the very least, drained an entire universe dry.
Why bring this up?
Because.
It was closely connected to Xiao Huasheng.
She landed face-first, then covered her face and slowly sat up from the floor.
"W-what happened again?"
Just moments ago, she had been so embarrassed by their praise.
How had the scene suddenly changed again?
When she saw the Foundation logo on the door, she immediately understood.
So she had returned to the Foundation again.
Xiao Huasheng felt this was definitely because that portal was fundamentally unstable.
Twice now. It had happened like this both times.
She took a deep breath.
And recovered herself.
Already accustomed to sudden developments, Xiao Huasheng patted her pant legs and stood up.
She looked around.
This was a containment chamber...
The containment chamber seemed to have been built like a monastery, with red bricks laid across the floor and even a fireplace inside.
The only unusual thing was that all sorts of torture devices hung on the walls...
Little whips, red candles, restraints, and gags... all kinds of suggestive items.
For a moment, Xiao Huasheng wondered whether she had come to the wrong place.
"What the hell?"
Looking at those torture devices.
Xiao Huasheng could not understand what the Foundation's purpose in arranging them was.
But after everything that had just happened, she no longer thought the Foundation was made up of bad people.
At the very least, they should be people like those Ultramarines who had been willing to sacrifice themselves for humanity.
"Maybe I should just let them capture me..." Xiao Huasheng muttered.
If she wanted to go to that Terra, and could obtain permission.
Perhaps she would not need to make such a huge fuss.
Muttering to herself, Xiao Huasheng began exploring.
First, she needed to let the Foundation discover her. Strangely, there was no line of sight here.
In other words, there were no surveillance cameras here.
Which meant there were things inside that could not be seen.
Inside the containment chamber, one room was nested inside another.
Beyond a glass partition stood an iron door, and the iron door also had a fingerprint lock.
That made Xiao Huasheng even more curious. What exactly was inside this room?
Clang!
She casually smashed open the lock and entered the room, driven by curiosity.
There were several more rooms within—bedrooms, a main hall, and even a bathroom, all fully furnished.
It was practically a room meant for a person to live in.
But nothing contained by the Foundation was truly human.
Sure enough, a clear cry came from the bedroom.
"Who is it?"
It was a very pleasant female voice, as sweet as a lark's song.
"Is there really someone here?"
Xiao Huasheng called out to the owner of the voice.
For no other reason than to determine whether she was actually human.
Very soon, a definite answer emerged.
Was All This Worth It?
The owner of the voice stepped out on her own. Her eyes were so captivating.
She was innocent yet slightly seductive, frail yet carrying a trace of ill intent.
