Chapter 129
Faced with K422's insistence, the Valkyrie in charge of the scene could only curtsy before assigning tasks to the Valkyrie of the vanguard.
After a few minutes of discussion, the large force gathered in front of the headquarters building began to storm in.
K422 led the charge.
A dozen or so people followed her, seemingly to protect her, but perhaps also to act as human shields to take bullets for her in critical moments.
It has to be said that I look too young, which makes people constantly want to protect me.
Even with such a task, there were still many people who signed up, and these dozen or so were the result of careful selection.
It is clear that K422 is increasingly becoming the Saintess in the hearts of the Valkyrie.
K422, wielding the Fire Sprite Type I, fired a shot at the specially made bulletproof glass door, but the Flame Bullet was amplified during its flight.
It was like a fireball the size of a basketball landing on a glass door; the explosion of the fireball caused the glass door to be destroyed by the resulting flames.
"Follow me!"
"Yes!"
"Receive!!"
The Valkyrie were very excited.
Clearly, they prefer a boss who can say "Follow me" to someone who can say "Get up there!"
The reason why the Valkyrie squad leader is the strongest Valkyrie in the squad is also based on this.
If the captain can't even go first when fight against Honkai, how can she let her teammates fight against Honkai?
K422 was the first to break into the headquarters building of Shencheng Medicine, which also boosted the morale of the main force.
The Valkyrie were clearing out the scattered and fleeing Honkai Beast and the half-crippled mech units all expressed their envy, and they also wanted to fight under the leadership of the Acting Grand Bishop.
That is the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal future, and it is an honor to fight alongside her.
Unfortunately, most Valkyrie can only fight on the periphery; Valkyrie who can break into the headquarters of the Shencheng Medicine are all elites.
But the most regrettable thing is not them, but the A-rank Valkyrie who belong to the Schicksal Headquarters.
In the previous incident caused by the escape of Honkai Beast, nearly 90% of the A-rank Valkyrie of the Schicksal lost their combat capabilities, which naturally included the A-rank Valkyrie at the Schicksal Headquarters.
They are still lying in their hospital beds, only able to grit their teeth and resent the slow pace of their recovery.
Even though someone worthy of following has appeared, even though she is a Schicksal A-rank Valkyrie, there is nothing I can do at this moment.
K422 was unaware of the impact of being the first to storm the headquarters building.
Meanwhile, deep underground in the headquarters building, Jackal clutched his face, his expression clearly showing signs of his brain trembling.
"No, no, no, no, if this continues, I'll definitely die! Gray Serpent can't save me, and that little girl can't save me either. I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!!"
If it were just an ordinary Valkyrie, Jackal would be confident he could deceive her with his acting skills.
However, having witnessed the opponent's battle through the visuals, the Jackal knew he was no match for his opponent.
The opponent used their fist to knock back the giant sphere thrown by the Ballista-class Honkai Beast, blasting away the upper half of the Ballista-class Honkai Beast.
Furthermore, by utilizing some unknown principle of spatial teleportation, a lance was accelerated to the point of instantly killing the Super Emperor Honkai.
Even the Super Emperor Honkai was defeated in one move. Could she withstand a second attack?
"My Lord, damn it! If you were here, what kind of damned Schicksal Saintess is she? She's just a nine-year-old girl! She clearly doesn't know the greatness of the World Serpent, that only the World Serpent can save this world. She just relies on being cute and showing off with some armor Otto made. Damn it! Damn it! I don't want to die. I still have so many experiments to do. No, I can't stay here..."
In the surveillance footage, the petite figure resembled an assassin in full-on mode.
Any enemy that falls into her sights, whether it's Honkai Beast or a mecha, is utterly vulnerable.
The moment that petite figure reached the end of the passage, eighteen machine guns emerged from the ceiling, walls, and floor, unleashing a torrent of bullets from their dark barrels.
However, the petite figure in the scene seemed to have activated super acceleration, and then arrived in front of the eighteen machine guns as if they were nothing, easily destroying them with her hands and feet. The bullets fired by the eighteen machine guns were as if they were shot down and deflected by the opponent, landing on the surrounding walls and floor. Even the dozen or so Valkyrie following behind the opponent were not injured.
"Ahhh, she's coming down! She's coming down!!"
The Honkai Beast are unstoppable.
Even mechs couldn't stop them.
Even the various traps they set up couldn't harm the other side.
"Don't come any closer!!!"
The Jackal howled in terror—
140. It was incredibly lucky to survive.
K422, who was moving forward, raised an eyebrow and then stopped in place. Not long after, a Temple-class Honkai Beast broke through the wall on one side of the passage in front of them.
The Temple-class Honkai Beast resembles a swordsman skilled in both offense and defense. Its massive spear functions like a one-handed sword. Unlike the Knight-class Honkai Beast, which are purely offensive, the Temple-class Honkai Beast, wielding a shield in one hand, possesses not only destructive power capable of piercing through anything but also an impenetrable defensive capability.
Time-space rupture
Then, the surrounding space suddenly changed.
As if falling into another world, the movements of the Temple-class Honkai Beast that had just broken through the wall became extremely slow. Whether it was turning around or swinging the spear in its hand, all its movements were thousands of times slower.
The next instant, K422 moved.
Her body suddenly became blurry.
Countless attacks then rained down on the body of the Temple-class -Temple-class Honkai Beast, each heavy blow leaving a tiny crack in its sturdy body.
At the same time, K422 also intervened its manipulation power into the body of the Temple-class Honkai Beast, causing the Honkai Energy within the beast to gradually spiral out of control.
The Temple-class Honkai Beast seemed to want to retaliate, but in this space detached from reality, the Temple-class Honkai Beast's thoughts and physical reactions also became disconnected.
As he turned around, he was attacked countless times.
The space created after the Time-Space Rupture System is activated lasts only three seconds, but within this space, the movement speed of all entities except those equipped with armor containing the Time-Space Rupture System will be drastically reduced.
The brief three seconds passed quickly. Freed from its physical constraints, and with its severed thoughts returning, the Temple-class Honkai Beast wanted to roar, but more than anything, it wanted to scream in pain.
However, in the next instant... the whole world was tinged with a faint blue.
Neither the air nor the Honkai Energy could move.
Even life itself seemed to stagnate in this pale blue world.
"Three seconds of Time-space rupture followed by two seconds of Freeze time? I'm still a long way from that..."
The young girl's clear, cold voice was the last sound this Temple-class Honkai Beast heard.
At this moment, it also completely lost control of the Honkai Energy within its body, and felt in horror as all the Honkai Energy forcibly converted into the Ice power, freezing every inch of its tissue from the inside out.
Ultimately, it transformed into beautiful diamond stardust.
K422 calmly watched this scene; the sight of the enemy killed by the Ice power turning into ice dust was truly beautiful.
However, she was still not very satisfied with her abilities.
Because K422-1's abilities malfunctioned, her "Freeze time" ability could last for nine seconds.
The Ice power and the Void power are the two abilities she is most proficient in, but the Freeze time created by combining the two only lasted for two seconds.
The Time-Space Rupture System possessed by the Domain Armor White Comet can sever a special space where the flow of time slows down, but this special space can only be maintained for three seconds.
"Perhaps I should first use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to create Time-space rupture, and then I can combine the Ice power with the Void power."
"Kiana, you're amazing!!"
"Is that the White Comet? I heard that only a small number of Valkyrie have the opportunity to take the test."
"How did the Acting Grand Bishop become so fast just now?"
"Mmm, and then suddenly, everything around turned pale blue."
The dozen or so Valkyrie behind K422 were chattering amongst themselves.
They were prepared to take bullets for K422, but when they followed K422 into the headquarters building, they only saw the 'Acting Grand Bishop in Musou mode' destroying all the mechs, Honkai Beast, and modern firearms traps blocking their way.
They discovered that besides cheering for K422, there wasn't much else they could do.
"Kiana is really strong... Not to mention the strongest Valkyrie in the future, I feel that she is the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal right now."
"Don't do that, what about Lady Theresa's reputation?"
"That's right, Lady Theresa is an S-rank Valkyrie."
"I also think that the Acting Grand Bishop is already the strongest Valkyrie."
"What a coincidence, I share the same opinion. No wonder you are Cecilia's daughter."
"Temple-class Honkai Beast, gone in just a few seconds."
"They don't even know what we're here for anymore."
What does it mean to be relaxed?
That's it.
She was prepared to sacrifice herself, but in the end... she just ended up being a cheerleader.
They all wanted to actually put on cheerleader uniforms to cheer on their beloved Acting Grand Bishop.
"Kiana, please pay attention from here."
"Hmm, no need, we've already found them..."
In the 3D perspective map that appeared through the crystalline goggles, the Valkyrie, who was in charge of the scene, marked the possible locations of the Jackal for her.
Although it's just speculation, the Valkyrie who was in charge of the scene had a very strong ability to make inferences.
Other scout teams did indeed find groups of innocent civilians gathered at the locations she had marked.
When the Valkyrie pointed out that the Jackal might be hiding in the deep underground floors of the headquarters building, she had no doubts and drew her Fire Sprite Type I from behind her, pointing it at the ground in front of her.
A large amount of Honkai Energy began to accumulate in its internal conversion device.
Meanwhile, the remaining Honkai Energy of the Honkai Beast that had turned into ice dust was also converted into a large number of fire-attribute attacks through the device inside the Fire Sprite Type I under the control of K422.
However, Fire Sprite Type I cannot compare with Dawn Glory.
Even when she was in poor condition, Fire Sprite Type I was still unable to withstand her Honkai Energy. In order to conserve her own Honkai Energy, she manipulated the remaining Honkai Energy of the Temple-class Honkai Beast, which further accelerated Fire Sprite Type I's endurance.
Seeing the Fire Sprite Type I gun riddled with cracks and on the verge of breaking apart, K422 expressionlessly pulled the trigger.
A large amount of fire energy gathered at the muzzle of the gun, then transformed into a beam of light formed from a large amount of flames.
A beam of light, half a meter in diameter, pierced the ground in front of K422 and continued to advance downwards.
Layer upon layer of thick armor could not withstand the attack, and in the blink of an eye, the ultra-high temperature beam attack penetrated to the bottom layer.
The beam that had pierced through more than ten layers of armor could no longer maintain its original shape.
The beam of light that fell to the bottom layer began to twist and expand, eventually disintegrating into a large amount of flames. The flames devoured everything like a raging storm, and the shockwave from the explosion destroyed all the facilities at the bottom layer.
The flames even kept returning along the same path.
K422 took a step back, feeling flames erupting like a fountain from the hole she had opened, the scorching heat hitting everyone's faces and lingering for a long time... K422 even began to worry that the Jackal might be burned to death like this.
Snap—
K422's Fire Sprite Type I was also shattered to pieces after this shot... no, after this cannon shot.
K422 felt regretful looking at the fragments of the pistol lying on the ground.
To be honest, it feels really good to fire a gun. Honkai Beast that are as small as mosquitoes can be basically killed with one shot after being enhanced by Fire Sprite Type I's Flame Bullet.
For stronger Honkai Beast, she upgraded her Flame Bullet from fireballs into cannons, capable of taking them down with a single shot.
Of course, she personally felt that the attack that shattered Fire Sprite Type I into pieces was as powerful as a cannon.
"Let's name it Cannon of Flame. I hope Director Changguang can create a pistol weapon that can use the Cannon of Flame continuously."
A sniper rifle would be best, as it would compensate for her lack of long-range attack capabilities.
The flames didn't subside for a long time. K422 looked at the hole it had made, which still emitted a frighteningly high temperature.
"I'll go down from here first and take a shortcut."
"Kiana, wait for me!"
"Your Acting Grand Bishop, please wait a moment..."
Even as the flames rising from the bottom gradually died down, the intense heat at the edge of the cave remained terrifying, but for the Valkyrie, such scorching heat was nothing to be ashamed of.
