Chapter 290
Apponia: "We who have witnessed the coming of twilight shall naturally chase after the setting sun."
The thirteen Flame-Chasers witnessed the tragedy and catastrophe of the Previous Era Honkai, a tragedy that should not be borne by any one person.
Rather, it is an unavoidable calamity faced by all of humanity.
The so-called Flame-Chasers Flame-Chasers simply those who have experienced more, are stronger, and are willing to shoulder greater responsibility for the great cause of overcoming Honkai!
[Raiden Mei's "The Elysian Realm Mei Development Project is Coming to an End."]
Everyone's thoughts were drawn to and captivated by the will of the Flame-Chasers until the system notification sounded, jolting them back to reality.
A long time has passed without us realizing it.
Raiden Mei: "Are you leaving already?"
I'm really going to miss it.
Seven days is such a short time. She hasn't even had Griseo paint a picture for her yet, nor has she truly hit Sakura once. Even with Elysia's strength, she has only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.
I haven't even had a chance to patronize Pardofelis's business yet.
Su: "All good things must come to an end, Miss Mei Flame-Chasers. What the heroes want to pass on to you is not martial arts or knowledge, but the truly precious thing of passing on the torch. I think you should understand now."
Raiden Mei: "I..."
Elysia: "Mei is a girl I've dated, so of course she understands. Flame-Chasers's will has already been shown to you, hasn't it?"
Raiden Mei: "Hmm!"
It's not about force, but about the belief in fighting for all that is good in the world! As Valkyrie, Raiden Mei has long kept this in her heart, but now she has a new understanding of it.
Mei deftly brandished the blade, then slowly sheathed it.
After seven days of rigorous training, she had undergone a complete transformation, her brow now displaying a newfound confidence and composure.
Pardofelis: "That's right, that's more like Mei, the Sister Mei who let me hide behind her and say, 'You're more important than this world!'"
Himeko Murata: "Mei, who has completed her studies? I can't wait to see her."
It is something that Teacher Himeko is happy to see her students become excellent.
Kiana: "I want Mei too."
Raiden Mei: "Even though it's only been seven days, I've missed you all very much."
The group checked the time; the moment Raiden Mei would leave was drawing ever closer.
With this thought in mind, Elysia's body erupted with energy, and she instantly changed into the clothes that Vill-V had made for her.
The way Elysia looked when she attended a banquet.
Sue is right. All good things must come to an end, so this is just the right way to say goodbye to Raiden Mei.
Elysia glanced at herself and realized she was still as cute and charming as ever, even captivating herself.
She instantly grabbed Mei's arm and pulled her into a hug.
Elysia: "Then, Mei, in the end, let me, let Elysia bless you in the name of my True Self. May you remember the will in your heart, may this moment..."
Raiden Mei: "May time stand still at this moment!"
A flash of white light appeared, Raiden Mei's figure vanished into the light, returning to Fifty Thousand Years in the future.
But as the two of them said, as long as Flame-Chasers's will remains in Raiden Mei's heart, the belief in inheritance will be enough to make time stand still.
Only will is eternal, unchanging and unyielding.
Chapter 473 Is this the Schicksal Headquarters?!
Schicksal Headquarters
This place is the center of the world's resources, and it gathers the world's most outstanding Valkyrie.
The Schicksal protects humanity and safeguards the world from the Honkai, while also controlling the vast majority of the world's resources.
Abundant resources, a girl dreaming of becoming Valkyrie to protect the world, and the technology of Artificial Stigmata have forged the power of the Valkyrie of Schicksal.
The most outstanding of them all is the Immortal Blades squad, led by Durandal.
The outstanding Valkyrie train and study at the Schicksal Headquarters, striving to follow in the footsteps of [Lady Durandal].
The training room was filled with Valkyrie. They were decisive and efficient, constantly sweating profusely. The Valkyrie gritted their teeth and remained silent in the face of training volumes that ordinary people could not endure.
However, there is one particularly obvious exception.
"Ugh! I'm so tired! Why do I have to do five times the training intensity all by myself?!"
After finishing the last set of training, the girl was so exhausted that she simply collapsed onto the ground.
A member of the Immortal Blades, Alvitr.
Since the last time Durandal witnessed Rita and her infiltrating the World Serpent Base and being Raven, nearly wiping out the entire Immortal Blades, he has intensified the training of the Valkyrie.
Alvitr was particularly impressed by her and received special attention from her.
Valkyrie, also a member of the Immortal Blades, rolled her eyes at her. "Don't act innocent after getting such a good deal. This is Lady Durandal's order. You should be secretly happy to receive special treatment from Lady Durandal."
"Exactly! When will Lady Durandal start paying special attention to me?"
"Come on, still dreaming about Lady Durandal? Do you want to be targeted by the vice-captain?"
"Hehe, if I could get close to Lady Durandal, even if I were to be..."
"Well, it's a blessing in disguise."
Alvitr lay on the ground, trying to comfort herself, but the exhaustion in her body made her want to stay there forever.
For Durandal, her so-called five times the training volume probably wasn't even enough for a warm-up.
But for the Valkyrie wielding Immortal Blades, it was truly a bitter pill to swallow.
If Durandal hadn't been so kind to them, even willing to warm up with them, Alvitr would have wondered if she had somehow offended her.
It seems like they genuinely care.
He worried that he was not capable enough and would die while carrying out a mission.
But Alvitr couldn't understand it. The Immortal Blades hadn't encountered any particularly dangerous missions in the past year, so why Lady Durandal so strangely?
Alvitr couldn't understand it.
Who goes there?!
A flash of white light appeared in the training room, Valkyrie shielded their eyes. The next moment, they realized that there was another person in the room.
Holding a katana, he looked to be only a teenager, seemingly still a student, yet he exuded a very dangerous aura.
In an instant, the Valkyrie reacted swiftly.
The Valkyrie armor unfolded from her body, and various weapons were aimed at Raiden Mei in front of her.
The sudden appearance of the girl, the subtle sense of threat she exuded, and the unusual situation made the Valkyrie hesitant to act rashly. They slowly deployed their formation, surrounding Raiden Mei in the center.
Raiden Mei was also observing them.
'What's going on? Didn't the system teleport me back to St. Freya? What did they just say this place was again, the Schicksal Headquarters?'
Broken!
Raiden Mei knew she was in trouble and instinctively tried to escape, but Valkyrie and couldn't break free at all.
"Speak! Who are you, and why are you at the Schicksal Headquarters?!"
"... Would you believe me if I said I didn't know what happened?"
The only response to Raiden Mei was the unfolding Valkyrie armor and weapons already brimming with energy.
Raiden Mei awkwardly pinched her cheek.
As fellow Valkyrie fighting for the good of the world, and seniors of the Immortal Blades, she really felt embarrassed to take action.
Ultimately, it was all because the system teleported her to the Schicksal Headquarters.
Why did you have to throw it at Schicksal Headquarters of all places? Isn't that just messing with people?
Theresa: "That's strange, it's been over ten minutes, why hasn't Mei come back yet? Kiana, have you seen Mei?"
Kiana: "No, Teacher Himeko, what about you?"
Himeko Murata: "No, that shouldn't be the case. Raiden Mei couldn't possibly have gotten lost at the St. Freya Academy, could she?"
This joke isn't funny.
It's only been seven days since I left. Has St. Freya been renovated? Even if it has, it's impossible that she wouldn't know the way back to her dormitory!
Bronya: "Could it be that Sister Mei is still in the Death Space and hasn't come back yet?"
Elysia: "Mei has already gone back."
Sue: "I can guarantee that."
Durandal: "That's strange. Could it be that there's something wrong with the system's teleportation function?"
Raiden Mei: "Um... the system is fine, and I did come back, but the location I came back to is a little off."
Mei scratched her head; it seemed everyone was quite worried about her.
The situation I'm facing right now is a bit hard to explain.
Kiana: "Mei, did the system somehow teleport you to a frozen wasteland? Or perhaps the Sea of Quanta?"
Even in the freezing cold, they could still bring Raiden Mei back in the shortest possible time, even if they were teleported to Siberia.
If they were transported to the Sea of Quanta, it would be all over.
Maybe Mei will even run into Kevin inside and have him eat noodles with that old man.
Raiden Mei: "Uh... actually, it's at Schicksal Headquarters."
Durandal: "?!!"
These words shocked everyone, especially Theresa, who felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Theresa: "What did you say? Schicksal Headquarters? Why did the system throw you there?!"
Although everyone is a member of Schicksal, Raiden Mei's inexplicable intrusion into Schicksal Headquarters makes it very difficult to cover this up!
Are they going to try and cover it up as some kind of alternate dimension or Sea of Quanta turbulence? Would her grandfather believe that if she told him?
Himeko Murata: "Mei, don't panic. Things haven't gotten to the worst point yet. As long as you don't encounter a large number of Valkyrie, there's a chance you won't be discovered."
Pardofelis: "Sister Mei has received professional training from Sister Sakura and Sister Elysia, she'll definitely be fine!"
Raiden Mei: "The problem is, I ended up in the Valkyrie's training room, and now I've run into them."
Seeing the wary movements of the Valkyrie in front of her, and their determined gazes that seemed intent on taking her down, Raiden Mei felt a sense of helplessness.
Raiden Mei: "So, what can we do in this situation?"
Chapter 474 Mei Unleashes Rampage Mode
What can we do?
This is really difficult!
They were all A-rank Valkyrie. Raiden Mei didn't find Rita among them, nor did she see Durandal.
With none of the S-rank Valkyrie present on Schicksal surface, Raiden Mei was confident she could fight her way out.
But what happens after you launch it?
It will definitely be a complete lockdown of the entire Schicksal Headquarters. If things get out of hand, it will be difficult to handle. Besides, Raiden Mei doesn't want to fight the Valkyrie of the Immortal Blades.
Kiana: "Auntie, aren't you one of the S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal? Hurry up and think of a solution!"
Theresa: "What can I do? Can I order the Valkyrie to retreat?"
That definitely won't work.
Although she is one of only three S-rank Valkyrie in Schicksal, she is the beloved headmistress of the academy among the young Valkyrie.
But Theresa was still aware of the situation.
Raiden Mei suddenly barged into the Schicksal Headquarters; in matters like this, her reputation wouldn't hold sway.
