I Am a Saintess at Schicksal

Although the floating island where Schicksal headquarters is located has its own agricultural gardens and ranches for self-sufficiency, it also regularly procures living resources, including desserts, from outside to boost the Valkyries' morale.

In addition to these, there are Valkyrie equipment and trial products sent from various research institutes, as well as equipment and supplies needed by researchers.

"Unpack."

"Unpack!"

As the leading Valkyrie's voice fell, the Valkyries in her squad responded loudly, pressing the button on the supply crates. One side of the supply crates in front of them automatically opened, revealing their contents for inspection and inventory.

"Water Sprite Type I, 20 units."

"Water Sprite Type I..."

The leading Valkyrie took out the manifest and drew a line through the Water Sprite Type I entry, marking it with a "20."

A total of 400 Water Sprite Type I units were delivered this time, so 20 out of the hundreds of supply crates were filled with them.

The Valkyrie next to the supply crate pressed the button on it again, and the opened lid closed. A staff member then drove a forklift to load the crate onto a nearby transport vehicle. Once a sufficient number were loaded, they would be sent directly to the warehouse.

After one supply crate was taken away, the conveyor belt delivered a new one.

"Unpack."

"Unpack!"

The supply crates this time contained living supplies, and the Valkyries present were very happy.

"They even have macarons this time."

"Mmm, I haven't had them in so long."

"Kiana seems to really like sweets. Should we take some to her?"

"That's a great idea."

"Quiet!"

The leading Valkyrie's voice cut through the air.

"Yes, Captain."

"Sorry, Captain!"

"However, the idea is indeed good."

The leading Valkyrie nodded, clearly intending to tease their beloved Kiana with sweets after receiving them.

Beep beep beep!!

An alarm suddenly sounded, and the conveyor belt stopped.

"What's going on?"

The Valkyrie, who had been lost in thought about feeding Kiana, immediately regained her composure and looked at the staff member with a cold expression.

"Was it an operational error?"

"There was no operational error. We detected a heat source resembling a human inside one of the supply crates."

Hearing the staff member's explanation from the control panel, the leading Valkyrie signaled her team. Following the staff member's directions, they approached the supply crate that had triggered the heat source detection.

At the same time, they drew their weapons, ready for anything.

"Unpack."

"Unpack!"

Hearing the captain's command, the Valkyrie closest to the crate responded loudly. The other Valkyries tightened their grips on their knives, dual guns, and crucifix-shaped machine guns.

One side of the two-meter-tall, two-meter-wide, and two-meter-long supply crate slowly opened.

Then...

A Humo walked out.

The entire Valkyrie squad and all the staff members: "???"

This Humo was over two meters tall, and with its long ears, it exceeded two and a half meters.

As it emerged, its long ears swung and knocked a Fire Sprite Type I out of a Valkyrie's hand.

But the Valkyrie was already stunned and forgot to pick up the gun that had fallen to the ground.

"Humo, Humo? Captain, is there a Humo?"

"Yes, there is... it seems there is, huh? Huh? Huh? Huh??"

The leading Valkyrie was also completely bewildered.

The Humo seemed to see itself surrounded and raised its hands in surrender, then made a strange sound: "I'm an actor invited by Bishop! I want to give Kiana a surprise, pow!"

"So it was the Bishop who invited you, I see... Haha, as if!"

The Valkyrie squad's gazes sharpened.

"That fake voice is too fake."

"Humo wouldn't talk like that."

"This is too suspicious! Take off the hood!!"

The Valkyrie whose weapon was knocked away picked up her weapon again and aimed it at the Humo.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot! I'll take it off, I'll take it off!"

The Humo shouted in distress, moving his raised hands behind his back and tucking them into the hood.

Then, he pulled out two uniquely shaped handguns from the hood.

The moment the strangely shaped dual guns appeared, everyone froze.

But the Humo didn't freeze. He immediately opened fire, instantly destroying the Honkai Energy weapons in the Valkyrie squad's hands.

Then, he fired at the Valkyries' limbs.

The hit Valkyries fell one after another.

However, the Humo didn't choose to kill them. Instead, he started firing wildly around, destroying surveillance equipment and supply crates...

"Calling out, this is Team Twelve, calling out... The transport port is under attack!!"

Although their combat power was lost, the Valkyrie lying on the ground still activated her communicator and reported what was happening here.

"Under attack? Who attacked you?"

"Who? Probably a Humo?"

The asked Valkyrie replied, a bit confused, and the person on the other end was also confused.

"A Humo? You're saying a Humo attacked you? Are you kidding?"

"No kidding."

As the door, which was of armored grade, was pierced by the attack of the dual guns, the alarm blared loudly.

The other side of the communication understood that an attack had indeed occurred, so they pressed the broadcast button, spreading the news of the port being under attack.

"Damn it, that bastard Welt said this would be fine."

The 'Humo' holding the dual guns, Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, was Kiana's father, a man named Siegfried Kaslana.

"Tsk, as soon as the alarm sounds, we'll be exposed. Didn't you say you could handle the alarm?"

If they had gone through Theresa's route, they shouldn't have encountered such an accident.

"Forget it, I can't blame Theresa. She can't really go against Bishop Otto either."

Since Theresa had never agreed to his plan to sneak into Schicksal headquarters to rescue Kiana before the Valkyrie modification surgery, Siegfried had to find the Anti-Entropy organization, which led to this plan of disguising himself as a Humo and hiding in a supply box to infiltrate Schicksal headquarters.

To be honest, what was the difference between this and him directly charging into Schicksal headquarters to unleash Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment?

"Stop complaining, Siegfried. Your infiltration is a signal. It's time for them to act."

Welt Yang's voice, the leader of Anti-Entropy, came from the communicator inside the Humo's hood.

At the same time, the sound of tank fire came from a distance.

However, modern tank artillery found it difficult to penetrate Schicksal's defensive field.

Therefore...

Welt Yang, who walked out of the transport ship, raised his hand, and gravity converged into his palm.

"Pierce through."

The gathered gravity transformed into a spear, piercing the port's entrance and exit, and also piercing Schicksal's defensive field.

Ground forces near the Mediterranean and tanks from other factions opened fire.

Simultaneously, a large number of fighter jets roared in, dropping incendiary bombs on Schicksal's nine floating islands.

Just as Welt Yang had said.

Siegfried Kaslana's attack was the signal.

A signal for all forces that opposed Schicksal, were hostile to Schicksal, or envied Schicksal to attack together.

And on a hillside hundreds of kilometers away, a young girl was crouching on the ground, aiming a uniquely shaped sniper rifle. Purple lightning formed a ring with a magnification function in her right eye.

"How is it? Raven?"

"Various forces have indeed launched an attack on Schicksal headquarters, but most of them are insignificant forces."

Organizations that didn't even have Honkai Energy weapons and were still using modern weaponry were a joke if they wanted to confront Schicksal.

However, if it weren't for Schicksal's propaganda being too attractive, and the recent frequent Honkai incidents forcing Schicksal to dispatch seventy percent of its Valkyries, these organizations, like rats, would probably continue to hide in the sewers.

A man in black, with the character 'Warrior' embroidered on the hem of his right garment and wearing a white mask that only revealed one eye, continued to ask.

"Do you think we need to add insult to injury?"

"This should be a trap carefully prepared for us by Bishop Otto. Many situations are too coincidental."

The girl hesitated before answering.

"Good answer. After this attack, all these insignificant forces will surely disappear. Even Anti-Entropy will be severely weakened. After some time, you will act as a mercenary and eliminate the remaining rats. No matter how insignificant they are, they should have one or two Stigmata from the ruins."

The girl nodded at the man's voice and continued to gaze at the battle at Schicksal headquarters through the lightning-infused lens.

The Schicksal organization deliberately weakened its own strength, clearly to lure out hostile forces.

The hostile forces that fell for the trap would certainly be dealt with by Bishop Otto later; after all, not every organization had the strength of Anti-Entropy to develop rapidly under Bishop Otto's pressure.

"Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, one day, we will take it back for our leader."

The single eye revealed by the white mask conveyed determination.

"..."

The young girl remained silent.

She did not agree with the organization's actions, but that did not stop her from obeying it.

The painful experiences of her childhood made the young girl realize that only by eliminating the Honkai could people achieve a peaceful life.

"Let's go. We are not yet strong enough to fight Schicksal, but the Serpent's eyes are watching everything."

"Yes."

The young girl put away her sniper rifle and followed behind the man.

Her short golden hair, with grey tips, fluttered in the wind. The young girl pulled up her hood to cover her tender face.

42. Chubby and Soft

All nine floating islands of Schicksal headquarters were attacked.

But soon, the defensive fields of the various floating islands were reactivated.

Since the defensive fields were activated independently by each floating island this time, any damage would only cause one floating island to lose its defensive field.

Under the destruction caused by the leader of Anti-Entropy, the defensive field on Asgard Island was once again destroyed, but this time, the other floating islands were unaffected.

Soon, the impact of modern weaponry rapidly diminished.

However, the main forces had already begun to land on Asgard.
