Chapter 86
After saluting, Himeko immediately wore a bitter expression. "They must be hiding something from me. Even if I ask, they'll just pretend to be stupid and brush me off. The most important thing is that the Assault Team is just a bunch of female hooligans."
A drunkard is a drunkard, and a female hooligan is a female hooligan.
"I understand, I understand. There are always people who say they like you and shout that so-and-so is my wife, but in reality they just want their bodies."
"???"
Himeko was completely bewildered by K422's answer.
Were they talking about the same topic?
She was clearly talking about female hooligans in the Assault Team... Oh, it seems like that's actually a topic.
Because she's a female hooligan, I lust after her body.
Himeko face full of black lines, said, "Kiana, where did you learn this from? You shouldn't be touching this..."
"Sister Himeko, let's sleep together tonight!"
"???"
Himeko opened her mouth, but no words came out.
She suddenly discovered that a nine-year-old girl was also lusting after her body.
"Don't worry, Captain Ragnar should pull himself together."
"Huh? How did you do that?" Himeko asked excitedly.
K422 smiled and shook his head, "It's not appropriate for me to tell Sister Himeko about this. Let Laguna find an opportunity to tell you."
"Hmm..." Himeko nodded gently, "Anyway, thank you."
"What kind of relationship do we have? Do you need to say thank you?"
"... We don't seem to have any relationship at all, Kiana." Himeko didn't know why the other party was so close to her, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
If we really have a relationship, it's that they both received Laguna's training.
We can be considered fellow disciples, albeit in a lesser sense.
"Don't say such hurtful things. Haven't we had a heart-to-heart talk?" K422 laughed.
"But it seems like Kiana ignored my cries for help several times!!"
Himeko's lips twitched involuntarily. She claimed to have confided in him, yet he wouldn't even reply with a single word when Himeko asked for help.
"So what if my clothes were ripped off? We're all women, we're not at a disadvantage..."
K422 shrugged. She had often been rubbed, hugged, and kissed by the Valkyrie while eating at the restaurant.
It looks like he was taken advantage of by these Valkyrie.
But thinking about it carefully, I realized I wasn't at a loss at all.
"Who says women don't suffer losses? Since Kiana says so, then Kiana should join the Assault Team too."
"Hehe, I don't want to."
Compared to the eager older women in the Assault Team, the Valkyrie at Schicksal Headquarters are much cuter.
It's not a matter of age, although the Valkyrie at Schicksal Headquarters are indeed younger.
Even if the Valkyrie at Schicksal Headquarters want to get close to me, they will stop at the right time. The most outrageous thing they have done so far is to pinch my butt and lick my cheek... Yes, a certain Valkyrie who licked my cheek and said it tasted cute is now being blocked by other Valkyrie from time to time and inevitably suffers a beating from the "Mom fan".
Seeing the gloating smile on K422's face, Himeko's face immediately darkened.
After teasing Himeko for a while, K422 began to inquire about her health, "Himeko, how have you been feeling lately?"
"It's been a bit better lately; I guess I'm starting to adapt to Honkai Energy."
"Himeko- neechan, please be careful. Honkai resistance is not constant. Continuous exposure to Honkai Energy will increase the degree of erosion. If the degree of erosion is too high, the Honkai resistance will become completely ineffective. If you feel unwell, you should also pay attention to rest. Honkai resistance will also decrease when you are sick or injured."
The main reason for the Valkyrie modification surgery failure was that during the injection of Honkai Energy, the candidate's body became weak, and her Honkai resistance dropped drastically. Once the reduced resistance could not resist the Honkai Energy injected into her body, she would become Deadman.
"Okay, sure..."
Knowing that K422 was concerned about her health, Himeko smiled and replied.
She was already aware of this when she underwent the Valkyrie modification surgery.
After all, unlike the candidates who had been trained at the Schicksal Headquarters since childhood, she had received less training and underwent secondary erosion during the transformation process.
The artificial Stigmata implanted in her body was not a perfect match for her body.
Although few Valkyrie die of old age, those Valkyrie do survive usually live to be in their fifties or sixties, but she might only live to be in her thirties.
"Kiana. Would you like a sandwich? I'll get you one."
Without waiting for K422's reply, Himeko turned around and started making her special luncheon meat sandwiches on the small table in the room.
Unfortunately, the conditions here are limited, otherwise she would have diced the luncheon meat and made it into delicious fried rice.
Although she has been studying in California for many years, as a person from the Far East, Himeko has an instinct to pursue delicious food.
"Kiana, there seems to be an emergency. Captain Lewis requests your immediate access to the operations room."
The maid who rushed to Himeko's room brought her bad news.
"Himeko- neechan, I'll eat the sandwich when I get back."
"I was worried that I wouldn't have enough time to make a delicious sandwich, but now I have plenty of time."
K422 returned to the operations room after giving Himeko a smile.
"Captain Lewis, what emergency has occurred?"
"The Honkai Beast has accelerated, and this time there's Emperor Honkai among Honkai Beast." Lewis, sitting in his wheelchair, looked extremely grim.
Emperor Honkai is not a level of a certain Honkai Beast, but rather the highest level among lower-level Honkai Beast.
Beyond the Emperor Honkai level, one becomes a High-level Honkai Beast, namely Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
According to the current Valkyrie system, it would take multiple A-rank Valkyrie to defeat the Emperor Honkai, and even a single A-rank Valkyrie would need the cooperation of teammates to barely fight against him.
Unlike Lewis and the others who looked worried, K422 showed an expectant expression after hearing that the attack would involve the Emperor Honkai.
92. Seems like someone with mental problems.
"Now that the Honkai Beast has accelerated, is it still possible to predict their movements?"
K422 exudes a confident, smiling aura.
"Kiana, there is Emperor Honkai among the Honkai Beast. With our current combat power, we cannot contend with the Emperor Honkai. Now is not the time to talk about political performances."
Captain Lewis quickly reminded him.
K422 shook his head. "Captain Lewis, you know nothing about power. In fact, I was the one who stopped the Honkai Beast that escaped earlier. With my strength, I can definitely fight against the Emperor Honkai."
"Kiana, battles in the real world are different from those in the Memory Battlefield. The Honkai Beast materialized in the Memory Battlefield limit our strength..."
"I know the strength of the Emperor Honkai better than you do, Captain Lewis. You probably don't know why I didn't train with the trainees before."
It was precisely because she had instantly killed Emperor-class Honkai Beast strength, which had materialized to one-tenth of its original power, that Otto arranged a special training room for her.
In the days following obtaining the Black Abyss White Flower, she had already been fighting against the Honkai Beast in the training room, whose strength had not been weakened at all, and even the Emperor Honkai and Emperor-class Honkai Beast among them.
Of course, she would never tell anyone about her dark history of almost getting beaten up the night she received the Black Abyss White Flower, even if it meant her death.
"Kiana!!"
"Follow the previous ambush plan. If you want to retreat, you can arrange for the Valkyrie and ordinary citizens to retreat first. I have the ability to protect myself."
Among her luggage was naturally a long box containing the Black Abyss White Flower.
However, K422 does not intend to use the Divine Key.
A single Dawn Glory is enough.
Seeing K422's resolute attitude, Lewis had no choice but to contact Otto.
After all, Lewis's squad was responsible for protecting K422, so she had to be accountable for K422.
Otto was quite frustrated upon receiving the communication, but he was also interested in this emergency.
"I see. Because Emperor Honkai appeared in the Honkai Beast, the size of this Honkai Beast is far greater than last month's, so it is determined that the combat power of the garrison and the Russian Ground Troops are unable to resist it?"
"Captain Lewis, I'm giving you orders here. All you need to do is cooperate with the Saintess."
Otto naturally didn't take the Emperor Honkai seriously.
Otto, who has followed K422's development, certainly knows how terrifying K422's strength is now.
Although K422-1's experiment went wrong, K422 grew by killing K422-1 and has successfully combined the power of the Herrscher of the Void with the Ice power.
"Your Excellency, the Saintess is still a child."
"I know better than you that the Saintess is still a child, but her strength is beyond your imagination."
Otto cut off communication, but he was indeed curious about the K422's first combat mission.
The simulated battles in the Memory Battlefield are ultimately limited. Because of the protection mechanism, no matter how dangerous the situation is, there will be no danger to life.
Lewis's face turned ashen; she naturally did not agree with Otto's decision.
If it were just a political performance, that would be one thing, but what follows is undoubtedly a life-or-death battle.
"Kiana..."
"Captain Lewis, don't try to persuade me. If you weren't still in a wheelchair, I would definitely let you fight me."
Lewis's objection stemmed from his overly youthful appearance.
How can a nine-year-old child shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting against the Emperor Honkai?
"Since you can't rest easy, let's make two arrangements and get the Assault Team moving too."
K422 shrugs.
Lewis was not someone who was easily persuaded.
"I understand. I will make two preparations. I just hope that Kiana will not force herself when the time comes."
"Alright, I'm going to change into my Valkyrie Armor."
Just as he was about to leave, K422 suddenly turned around and said, "Captain Lewis, it's really lucky to have someone like you in the Valkyrie Squad..."
Lewis is also a Valkyrie with unwavering conviction.
K422 did not want anything to happen to her.
"Of course, I will also show you with my actions that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. My bulge is even bigger than yours."
"???"
Lewis looked completely bewildered.
What do you mean by "it gets bigger than yours when it bulges out"? Is Kiana telling a dirty joke?
It was quite frightening that a nine-year-old girl would say such a thing, and it also greatly angered the Valkyrie at the Schicksal Headquarters.
Yes, in her eyes, Kiana would never say such things; she must have been led astray by others.
However, Lewis did not know that K422 was referring to muscles.
With muscles eight times the density of an average person, she does appear delicate and weak when at rest, but once she uses her full strength, her bulging arms can be thicker than Lewis's thighs.
Of course, such a burst form would also be a burden on K422's body.
Even when she broke through the limits of human physical endurance and her bones became stronger, her body was still only at the level of a nine-year-old girl.
Perhaps when she grows up, this explosive power will not change her physical body.
Just like how, after fully mastering the true power of a Super XX, one can use the power of a Super XX even without transforming.
Returning to the room tidied up by the maid, K422 found a long box containing the Black Abyss White Flower and Dawn Glory casually tied to her suitcase in her luggage.
Open the suitcase and see the third-generation Valkyrie Armor 'Domain Armor: White Comet' that Otto prepared for her.
Given that the second-generation Valkyrie Armor was not mass-produced, the third-generation Valkyrie Armor was naturally quite advanced, especially with the inclusion of a cutting-edge Time-Space Rupture System.
However, this Valkyrie Armor is designed as a versatile, all-terrain combat armor, and can only be used by Valkyrie of rank B or higher.
Equipped with jet propulsion, military goggles, and other enhanced weaponry, it is a basic armor suitable for most combat situations.
Its most prominent feature is the [Burst Mode], also known as the Burst System, which releases Honkai Energy from the back-mounted power reactor at several times the original supply rate, significantly enhancing the armor's combat capabilities in a short period of time.
