The Three Little Ones Go Their Separate Ways / Himeko Takes the Blame

When!

The shield rose to block the fist that could flatten even a Chariot-class Honkai Beast, and the Heavy-duty Bunny's cannon barrel immediately lit up with golden light, blasting the head of the Qing Tian Mech right at face value.

After firing a few more shots at the limbs of the two mechs, completely disabling the Qing Tian Mech's combat capabilities, the Heavy-duty Bunny finally transformed into light and slowly disappeared.

At the same time, Seele couldn't help but collapse to the ground, her already pale face becoming as thin as paper.

While the heavily Heavy-duty Bunny is powerful, every action it takes drains the girl's own stamina.

Meanwhile, Kiana and Anne also subdued Bronya, injecting her with an anesthetic in the Bronya to completely silence her.

"Don't be too smug!"

Seeing this scene from the warship, Cocolia gritted her teeth in fury.

With the airship destroyed, Shi Hen and the others were no longer able to leave the battlefield, yet she was able to continuously send out mechs to attack.

Given this situation, how could she possibly lose?

Seeing the four metal pillars projecting from the sky again, Kiana was dumbfounded. "No way, again?"

She would have to put in a lot of effort to take down even one of those white-painted mechs, let alone four of them.

Moreover, they have wounded on their side.

"It's alright, my reinforcements have arrived."

Shi Hen's lips curled slightly as he looked at a silver-white warship rapidly approaching from the horizon.

Since he dared to rebel Cocolia's nose, he must have something to rely on.

Besides, how can you even consider changing jobs if you haven't found another one yet?

"Hey, it's pretty lively over here. How about I join?"

The warship rapidly grew larger, and a hearty female voice rang out.

"Murata Himeko!"

Upon hearing this voice, Cocolia's face instantly contorted.

Undoubtedly, the only ones who would dare to venture alone into the encirclement of Anti-Entropy at this time are the ace of the Far East Branch of Schicksal.

On February 18, 2014, four days after the Third Honkai Outbreak, the Hyperion finally arrived at the battlefield.

Chapter 158 The Three Little Ones Go Their Separation

"Shi Hen Shihen, are you betraying Anti-Entropy?!"

Seeing this, how Cocolia not understand that all of this was planned by the boy all along?

The other party's withdrawal from the organization was not a momentary impulse born of passion, but a well-planned and meticulously orchestrated scheme.

"No, it was you and Anti-Entropy who betrayed Mr. Welt!" Shihen said in a heavy tone, Shi Hen face filled with deep sorrow. "To wantonly trample on the lives of innocent people and distort and manipulate the free will of others, what kind of justice is this!?"

As an inheritor of Welt's spirit, the boy would never stoop to such a corrupt "justice".

"Justice?" Upon hearing this word, Cocolia n't help but sneer. "Justice without power is nothing but hypocritical lies."

In the pursuit of true justice, sometimes a price must be paid.

She has already paid a heavy price for not having the power to pursue justice.

Therefore, even if it means soiling her hands, she is determined to keep the power in her own hands.

"But this absolutely does not include making innocent people victims."

Shi Hen shook his head firmly.

Justice may come at a price, but that is by no means a reason for some people to act recklessly.

"Let's save the argument for later. How about I get my friends from Schicksal aboard the ship first?"

Himeko's voice rang out, interrupting the two's pointless debate.

Inside the Anti-Entropy warship, looking at Shi Hen and the others who were surrounded by four Qing Tian Mechs on the ground, and then at the Hyperion lurking nearby, Cocolia struggled for a long time before finally sighing helplessly and saying, "Retreat!"

The main force of the Anti-Entropy Mecha unit was still entangled with the rampaging Honkai Beasts, and she did not have the strength to deal with the ace of the Schicksal Far East Branch.

Upon receiving the order, the pilots who had emerged from the two Qing Tian mechs earlier immediately displayed complex expressions. "Shi Hen Shihen..."

As fellow mecha pilots of Anti-Entropy, they had heard of the boy's reputation, but they never expected him to choose to defect so resolutely.

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. I hope that when we meet again, we will not be enemies."

Facing the gazes of several drivers, Shi Hen let out a long sigh.

If the darkness of Anti-Entropy weren't so profound, he would probably be plotting a tragedy before defecting.

How could mere entropy Anti-Entropy possibly stop him from pursuing becoming Kiana's best friend?

Thinking of this, Shi Hen looked at Seele and Xing, a hint of guilt on his face. "I'm sorry, this time you'll have to bear the name of traitor with me."

With Bronya's situation, he can take the three little ones with him as well.

"Captain, can we really trust the people of Schicksal?"

Upon seeing airships flying out from the silver-white Hover Battleship, Seele couldn't help but show a worried expression.

In Anti-Entropy's consistent propaganda, the higher-ups of Schicksal are portrayed as a group of madmen who treat human life as worthless and completely regard the Valkyrie as pawns.

"Although most of the upper echelons of Schicksal are scum, the leader of the Far East Branch is a decent person."

She founded an academy St. Freya St. Freya in the Far East to teach the Valkyrie a great deal about life.

Moreover, I will examine all of this with my own eyes.

Shi Hen explained in a solemn tone.

Although he was determined to betray Anti-Entropy, he should still be wary of Schicksal, even if his opponent was Theresa.

The time has come to test his acting skills.

"Um..."

Seele then nodded gently.

If she could, she certainly wouldn't want to leave Anti-Entropy, but this Cocolia... the girl just couldn't understand why her kind and gentle mother in the orphanage would act this way.

"It's Schicksal... I guess I won't be able to go to that place."

Sighing, Xing took a few steps back in the direction the Qing Tian Mechs had retreated, creating a small distance between herself and Shi Hen and the others.

"Apricot?"

Seele tilted her head.

"Little one, do you still want to go back to Cocolia's side?"

Kiana said in an incredulous tone.

"Xing, tell me your thoughts."

Shi Hen looked gently at the purple-pink-haired girl in front of him.

"Captain, Seele, I know you can't forgive Mom, but..." Xing paused, then grinned with a smug and bright smile, "No matter what, she's still our mother. She must be lonely if no one is around."

So, see you next time...

Having said that, without giving the others a chance to persuade her, the girl turned around and quickly followed the Qing Tian mechs.

"Apricot..."

Unable to resist taking a few steps forward, Seele wanted to grab her companion's hand, but in the end she stopped.

Just as the other person didn't stop her from leaving Cocolia, she shouldn't stop the other person from returning to her mother's side.

This is the result of the other party's own choice, and silence is the greatest respect she can give.

"Xing has grown up too."

Shi Hen rubbed Seele's head and sighed deeply.

Although they are only fourteen years old and sometimes show a childish side, the trials of life have already taught these girls what maturity is.

"What's with this little kid trying to look cool at a time like this!"

Kiana grumbled in dissatisfaction.

She didn't think that the other person would have a good outcome if they went back to Cocolia's side.

"Since Xing has chosen her own path, let's trust her this once."

Shi Hen smiled and comforted him.

Although the bond between the three little ones has been broken, as long as the Sea of Quanta group still exists, he doesn't care too much about whether Annie stays or leaves. He'll let her stay in Anti-Entropy and compete with Peggy.

Everything is still under his control.

Before long, the two Hyperion airships came to a steady stop in front of Shi Hen and his companions.

Well, there were only two ships. After confirming that Shi Hen and his group could make contact with Anti-Entropy, the strongest Valkyrie left on her own, showing no intention of hitching a ride on the Hyperion.

After all, Schicksal HQ had stated publicly that it would delegate authority to the Far East Branch to handle the Third Honkai Outbreak, so Durandal should naturally not be present here.

Even if the Far East Branch finds out about this sooner or later, as long as everyone is tacit and keeps appearances in check, that's fine.

The airship doors opened, and two Valkyrie, around eighteen years old, were sitting in the pilot's seats of the two airships.

Unable to guarantee what Shi Hen and the others were really thinking, the Hyperion certainly wouldn't send an unmanned airship over.

Therefore, these two Valkyrie are not only airship pilots, but also guardians of Shi Hen and his group, which also serves as a way to show their respect for them.

After glancing at Shi Hen and the others, with her gaze lingering on the young man for a few more seconds, one of the Valkyrie said, "Come on up, everyone."

Of course they wouldn't refuse. Shihen simply nodded and obediently did as Mei did, Shi Hen Kiana, Seele, and Bronya boarded another ship.

In a sense, they were already considered prisoners of the Hyperion at this point.

As for the previously agreed-upon terms... a so-called alliance only has binding force when the strength of the two parties to the agreement is equal.

Soon, the two airships started up and successfully carried Shi Hen and his group to the Hyperion.

The airship sailed into the warship's docking area, the hatch opened, Shi Hen immediately saw a stunning red-haired Valkyrie.

"It's been a long time coming, Colonel Shi Hen of Anti-Entropy..."

With a smile playing on her lips, Himeko stood casually with one hand on her hip, her gaze towards the boy as if she were sizing up a rare prey.

After all, not everyone can hold a high position in a large organization like Anti-Entropy at the age of seventeen and still resolutely decide to defect.

Chapter 159 Himeko Takes the Blame

"I am now just a commoner, Major Himeko, please just call me by my first name."

Shi Hen shook his head and smiled bitterly, his lips full of bitterness.

He had just betrayed what he considered his dream— the Anti-Entropy.

I just don't know if Schicksal will consider adding more money for this.

"Titles and such are another matter, but..." As she spoke, Himeko's gaze swept over the girls beside Shi Hen, a hint of teasing rising in her eyes, "You brought quite a few people this time~"

According to her the First agreement with the boy, he would only bring the Third Herrscher, on the condition that the Far East Branch would provide them with protection.

But now... there are five of them, including the boy himself, which is more than double the limit!

Under Himeko's scrutinizing gaze, Seele, supporting Bronya, instinctively hid behind Shi Hen, while Kiana looked back without fear, appearing completely unfazed.

"There was an accident on the way, I'll explain to you later, Major," Shi Hen sighed helplessly. "Anyway, we have wounded here, and I hope they can receive medical treatment as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the boy pointed to the black-haired girl behind him who was still unconscious in the airship.

On the surface, Mei is the one who is most seriously injured.

"Certainly."

Himeko nodded.

Although she harbored some resentment towards Shi Hen not following the rules, she would not joke about other people's lives.
