Chapter 125
However, Knight-class Honkai Beast possess both of these characteristics.
Honkai Beast that resemble horses, and knights-like Deadman riding on horseback, each wielding a long spear.
Although Schicksal classifies them as Honkai Beast, it is undeniable that these knights, a combination of Deadman and Honkai Beast, possess intelligence that ordinary lower-level Honkai Beast do not have.
However, the sight of the enemy launching a charge and then disappearing from sight did indeed frighten the Valkyrie behind the cover.
"Acting, Acting Grand Bishop... Your Excellency."
"It's alright now, are all the wounded inside?"
K422 naturally carried a long box containing the Black Abyss White Flower; she came here to treat the wounded.
Regardless of who was behind this incident, the enemy's counterattack caught Schicksal completely off guard. Without the assistance of combat-type Valkyrie units, the intelligence unit suffered extremely heavy losses in the fierce counterattack.
After climbing over the cover and entering the building, K422 naturally saw the wounded lying haphazardly on the floor of the building's lobby.
This includes not only members of the intelligence forces, but also ordinary citizens who were innocently implicated.
"Shencheng Medicine—!!"
K422 was almost blown away by the sight before him.
The Valkyrie gathered intelligence for her were all wounded, but many were missing limbs.
Some of the Valkyrie, still wounded, were now weeping over their colleagues who had already stopped breathing.
While Otto himself may not be a very good person, it doesn't mean that the Valkyrie fighting in Schicksal are also cold-blooded and ruthless.
It's worth noting that when the Schicksal recruits Valkyrie, they always emphasize that the Schicksal is righteous, and Otto even uses speeches to inspire the Valkyrie's determination to fight against Honkai.
Shencheng Medicine's actions this time have indeed caused heavy losses to the Schicksal.
Suppressing his anger, K422 quickly took out the Black Abyss White Flower from the long box behind him and used Abyss Flower power of Creation to treat the injured Valkyrie and ordinary civilians.
"Acting Grand Bishop, what brings you here?"
"Don't speak. This is the first time I've used the power of Creation to heal someone."
Since no high- Honkai Energy individuals were detected, K422 felt reassured about the Lewis Squad and Siegfried, and instead focused her attention on the wounded.
However, once K422 used the power of Creation, he found that this power was extremely energy-consuming.
"No, at this rate, I won't be able to heal everyone," K422 thought to himself.
When the Black Abyss White Flower's power of Creation repairs damage to living beings, it needs to analyze the blueprint woven from genetic language. This means that each treatment requires analyzing the genetic blueprint for each individual, which not only increases the difficulty of treatment but also prolongs the treatment time.
The physical exhaustion and the difficulty of treatment have put K422 in a great predicament, as he originally intended to treat all the wounded.
"Mr. Welt, please answer me."
K422 wasn't going to be reckless; she quickly contacted her special advisor using a communicator, and to prevent others from overhearing the conversation, she put on an ear-hook earphone in her right ear.
Having served Herrscher for decades, Welt Yang certainly knows how to use Honkai Energy efficiently.
"This is Welt. What is it, Acting Grand Bishop?"
Welt's voice came through the earpiece, and the image projected on the communicator showed Welt and Tesla looking at documents in the Grand Bishop's office.
As for the human stamp, it was probably kicked out by the two of them as a third wheel.
K422 didn't care whether Welt and Tesla would have an office romance in the Grand Bishop of Schicksal 'Grand Bishop of Schicksal office. Even if they did, Otto would be the only one who would suffer.
She certainly wouldn't mind playing matchmaker between Welt and Tesla.
After all, her younger sister K423 was a big fan of Tesla and knew that Tesla liked Welt, and often muttered about it in her consciousness space at night.
Perhaps because K423 has never met Cecilia, she now almost considers Tesla her mother.
K422 naturally hoped that Cecilia, who was sleeping in the Black Abyss White Flower, could wake up, so that True Kiana and K423 could meet Cecilia.
True Kiana must really miss Cecilia.
K423 must also be very curious about what kind of person Cecilia is.
"It's like this..."
K422, who has a natural affinity for Tesla, smiled at Tesla on the communication screen and then explained the situation she was in to Welt.
Upon hearing about her predicament, Welt fell silent.
He had encountered similar problems before.
At that time, he had just merged with the core of the Herrscher of Reason and was unable to unleash the full power of the Herrscher of Reason.
So much so that at that time, in order to intimidate Otto, he had to use his ability to mimic Welt Joyce and attend various public events.
It wasn't until around the year 2000, when Welt was able to skillfully wield the power of the Herrscher of Reason, that he was able to step into the public eye with dignity.
Of course, he still needed Welt Joyce's influence in front of his allies and had to mimic him.
Only a small number of Conservatives and Reformists members still believe that Welt Joyce is the Alliance Leader of the Anti-Entropy organization.
The power of Herrscher grows over time.
The most crucial factor is related to the knowledge an individual possesses.
Just Herrscher of Wind's ability, according to data from Previous Civilization, the Herrscher of Wind's ability is to create ideal fluids, which manifests as manipulating the wind.
However, during the Second Eruption War, the pseudo- Herrscher of Wind created by the Second Herrscher was simply a hurricane-creating device, so weak it was almost unbelievable... This was not only because the Simulated Herrscher itself was incomplete, but also because the Simulated Herrscher itself did not have much intelligence and did not understand what it meant to create an ideal fluid.
K422's growth rate is astonishing.
He himself is like the Second Herrscher was sublimated on the moon, possessing multiple Herrscher abilities.
But she was given too little time to grow.
Welt, naturally, was generous with his experience and shared the information he knew at this time.
After confirming that K422 was on the side of protecting humanity, Welt made the decision to help K422 usurp the Schicksal.
While Schicksal cannot do without Otto, Welt believes that Schicksal can become better under K422's leadership.
K422 was slightly taken aback after hearing Welt's explanation.
"... Does it really take time to work things out?"
"I regret to inform you, Your Acting Grand Bishop, that I will immediately send a medical team there."
"Let the Floating Battleship move at full speed. It won't even take an hour to get from the Europe headquarters over the Mediterranean to Shenzhou Sky City." While answering, Welt had already given orders to the medical force that the Schicksal Headquarters had just formed.
Because the Grand Bishop and higher-ups of Schicksal treat the Valkyrie as expendable resources, the medical standards at Schicksal Headquarters are quite poor.
After taking over as special advisor, Welt began to assemble a dedicated medical unit, and he originally intended to cooperate with Shencheng Medicine.
But he never expected that Shencheng Medicine would suddenly slap Schicksal in the face like that.
The other party's counterattack really baffled him.
"I see. Then I'll leave it to Mr. Welt."
Just then, Welt received a communication from the battlefield of the Europe headquarters of Shencheng Medicine, and his calm face immediately changed.
"... Acting Grand Bishop, Lady Theresa was ambushed by an unknown assailant and suffered severe injuries."
"Has Theresa suffered a serious injury?"
K422, who had just finished treating one patient and was walking towards the next, froze, looking at Welt on the communication screen, waiting for him to continue.
"Yes, Lady Theresa has been ambushed, and her current situation is unclear. Shencheng Medicine' Europe headquarters is preparing to break out."
"Mr. Welt, please have the medical team come over as soon as possible."
K422's voice betrayed no anxiety, but the ground beneath her feet was cracked and spread like a spider web.
The wounded and civilians around them shrank back at the sight. Although they couldn't hear the communicator, they could hear K422 speaking.
K422's changed attitude suggests that her 'Theresa' must be in danger.
The Valkyrie naturally knew who Theresa was, and couldn't help but show worried expressions.
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, I won't act impulsively."
After ending the communication, K422 took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down as much as possible.
Because impulsiveness and recklessness will only cause her to miss the real solution.
K422's gaze swept over all the wounded present, and she couldn't help but purse her lips, realizing that with her current strength, she simply couldn't heal everyone.
However, the medical team arranged by Welt gave K422 a solution. She didn't necessarily have to cure everyone; she just needed to get everyone out of danger, and then leave the rest to the arriving medical team...
Even so, she would definitely be exhausted after treating everyone.
"No time to hesitate, Sister Liv, please respond."
"Received, Kiana, please speak."
K422 didn't waste any words with her little maid and immediately said, "Have our Floating Battleship get to the skies above Sky City, and have that Escort Ship come here. They should be able to locate the coordinates of my communicator."
"Location is available, Kiana. What happened?"
"Help me move it back to the Floating Battleship later. The Floating Battleship head directly to the battlefield at the Europe headquarters of Shencheng Medicine —that's an order."
In order to speed up the treatment, K422 no longer conserved her strength and grabbed the hands of the two wounded soldiers to begin treatment.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to heal you, but I have something important to do."
After healing the two wounded soldiers to a certain extent, K422 ran to the other wounded soldiers and had them gather them together.
136. I had not even the slightest thought of using my mother's house to fight.
K422 did not treat all the wounded soldiers' injuries, but instead focused on treating those who were seriously injured.
Her apology, delivered while she was receiving treatment, struck a chord with the injured.
Looking at that young, helpless face, still bearing a hint of pitifulness, as he treated others, even the most unreasonable person would find themselves understanding at that moment.
They politely declined K422's apology, and immediately thanked him after each time he brought a wounded soldier out of danger, hoping that their encouragement would lessen his guilt.
As her petite figure moved back and forth among the crowd, and as more and more people were cured, her face grew increasingly tired and haggard. The wounded soldiers immediately understood that the treatment would inevitably consume K422's physical strength, and possibly even her life force.
Some Valkyrie tried to dissuade them, and some severely injured soldiers said they had no regrets in this life and were prepared to give up treatment.
However, K422 ignored their opinions and continued to use his physical strength to treat the seriously injured.
Gradually, the wounded men's eyes were clouded with a kind of sensual light, as if they were seeing a young girl walking among the believers, bathed in holy light.
"Ah, Your Saintess Lord!"
"Acting Grand Bishop!!"
"The name 'Saintess' is truly fitting."
"As expected of our Qi Bao Bao..."
"Oh? You're Mom fan too?"
"You two too? What a coincidence, me too."
"Wait a minute, the topic seems to have gone a bit off track."
Not to mention that the conversations between the Valkyrie among the wounded were becoming increasingly skewed.
After the last wounded soldier was successfully out of danger, K422 was almost exhausted, and even his consciousness became hazy.
She treated hundreds of wounded people in just over ten minutes, successfully bringing the intelligence unit 'Valkyrie and ordinary civilians out of danger.
Although there may be other wounded elsewhere, K422 is now out of strength... or rather, has only a last bit of strength left for treatment.
"I have to go now..."
K422 raised her hand to politely decline the Valkyrie's attempt to help her leave.
She left the building slowly, carrying a sense of desolation reminiscent of the poem "The wind howls and the Yi River is cold."
By this time, the Escort Ship had been waiting outside for a long time. Some of the Honkai Beast and mechs around were wiped out on the way K422 arrived, while the rest were cleared out by Siegfried and Lewis's squad who were covering the landing of the Escort Ship.
K422, which stumbled out of the station, did not last long.
As soon as she reached the Escort Ship, she lay down on the wheelchair that her little maid had pushed out.
Moreover, this wheelchair belongs to Captain Lewis.
Of course, Captain Lewis was still lying obediently in the ward, had no idea that her wheelchair was almost crushed into a pancake by K422 lying on it like that.
Even so, the wheels of the wheelchair have become oval-shaped due to the stress on them.
