With a beep, the central control screen of the warship was connected, and Yang's calm voice rang out.
Although they are still on their way, as agreed beforehand, after Jiang Qiao takes care of Cocolia, Yang, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, will use communication to stabilize the emotions of the Anti-Entropy members of the Cocolia warship.
After all, they are all members of anti-entropy, so it's impossible to exterminate them all.
"Ah... Alliance Leader?"
When the Anti-Entropy personnel at the warship's central control center saw Walter appear, they were all taken aback. After exchanging glances, they finally obediently put down their weapons.
Although she had a very good grasp of the radicals, Cocolia was ultimately a member of Anti-Entropy, and it was impossible for her to create a situation where people only knew the executor Cocolia and not the leader of Anti-Entropy.
With Cocolia's fate unknown, Mr. Walter, who has been absent for a long time, will naturally let them make a reasonable choice.
"...This is...Cocolia? Did you kill her?"
Nodding in satisfaction, Yang immediately noticed the scene of motherly love and filial piety and frowned.
Given Jiang Qiao's current status, there's nothing wrong with doing this. As the third Herrscher of Reason, Bronya is fully qualified to execute the heinous Cocolia.
However, from the perspective of anti-entropy humanism, doing so is a bit too crude.
"He's not dead yet, but I missed. I'm going to fire another shot."
As Jiang casually remarked, Yang's lips twitched... He missed and then fired another shot. If it weren't for the brief encounter that made him think this heir wasn't a bad person, he would have almost thought he was some kind of villain.
but--
"Since she's not dead, let's spare her life for now."
"Cocolia is, after all, an executor of anti-entropy. She can't die so hastily. If she were alive, many things would be much easier for us to handle."
Ai Yin's voice came from the other side of the screen, her words carrying a hint of dissuasion.
Although neither she nor Tesla liked Cocolia, they were even eager to get rid of this colleague who was ruining Anti-Entropy's reputation.
However, Cocolia is not alone. The radical faction under Cocolia's control has a great influence on Anti-Entropy's power in the Far East Asia-Pacific region. If she were alive, the subsequent consolidation and transition of power would be very smooth. But if she were dead, it would be very troublesome.
"Don't worry, after everything is resolved, Cocolia will receive a fair trial."
Seemingly worried that Jiang Qiao might be dissatisfied, Yang said quite seriously:
“I swear in Walter’s name.”
"Whatever you want."
The gun in her hand turned into blue particles and disappeared. The silver-haired girl didn't show much expression, letting the arriving medical staff try to save Cocolia, whose life was hanging in the balance.
He wasn't obsessed with killing Cocolia.
It was simply out of a desire to eliminate an unnecessary hassle.
Jiang Qiao didn't care whether the woman lived or died, as long as she could achieve this goal.
Death is merely the most effective way to curb behavior.
Moreover, personally, he didn't think that Cocolia living like this would be a good thing.
After all—for such people, death is the best outcome; living is the only suffering.
"So, that's what you were thinking, Bronya."
Looking at Jiang Qiao on the screen, whose gaze was shifting, the girl sighed.
—This kid is also taking a gamble.
They specifically made him use Bronya's body to do this.
He gambled that the lingering emotions in his body would make him feel pity for Cocolia.
Although the process was somewhat different, Bronya won the bet in the end.
If it were Jiang Qiao, or even if someone else were to do this, Cocolia would surely die.
It doesn't matter if you lose the bet.
She ended her adoptive mother's crazy and tragic life by becoming her adopted daughter.
This is something Bronya can accept.
She pinned her hopes for her adoptive mother's fate on the remaining emotional possibilities within her body.
At this moment, the Honkai energy detection radar, which had quieted down after Bronya withdrew her Herrscher power, began to beep loudly once again:
"Warning! Warning! High Honkai energy reaction detected!"
—Not inside the warship, this time it's heading towards the Valkyrie Sanatorium in New Zealand.
...
Cocolia's radical faction was exceptionally ruthless in its attacks on the Valkyries of Destiny, much like a certain banana man.
The New Zealand branch suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of the deployed Thunderclap mechs.
Although the Valkyries were putting up a fierce resistance, New Zealand was a sparsely populated area of the Honkai, and the number of Valkyries stationed there was small and their level was low. Even their weapons were the most outdated generation of Schicksal.
It's fine for dealing with lone Honkai Beasts, but against Titans... Valkyrie fragments are being mass-produced.
But all of this changed in the next instant!
"Shh!"
The terrifying wind blades swept across the entire battlefield, shredding the rampaging Titan mechs and the Thunder Mechs that were spewing out cargo into pieces.
"Ha ha ha ha"
An incredibly joyful smile bloomed on the face of Green Seele, a girl with black and green hair and a bob cut amidst the battlefield.
Wendy, who was previously confined to a wheelchair and forced to endure the onslaught of Cocolia's Titan forces, now felt a surge of power coursing through her body.
At this moment, she felt incredibly happy and carefree.
—As the youngest A-rank Valkyrie in the Oceania branch, Wendy was expected to become the fourth S-rank Valkyrie.
However, due to her desire to conduct gem experiments, she had no choice but to retire in disappointment, an outcome she naturally found difficult to accept.
In particular, Wendy's interpersonal relationships in the Oceania branch were not very good. As a result, Wendy's life in the sanatorium became quite unpleasant after experiencing the transformation from a peerless genius to a useless person. Many of the Valkyries on duty would gossip about her and ridicule her.
In this environment, negative emotions gradually accumulated in Wendy's heart, causing the already somewhat introverted Green Seele's heart to darken.
Resentment, bitterness, and jealousy...
Finally, during Anti-Entropy's attack, it erupted, allowing her to transform into the Herrscher of Wind by using the Gem of Desire within her body.
A terrifying storm spread outwards from Wendy, sending Titans, ruins, and even the surviving Valkyries soaring into the sky.
until--
"呲"
A crescent-shaped, ice-blue blade sliced through the air, forcing Wendy, whose smile was as whirlwind-like as a tornado, to a halt.
With the help of a mechanical humanoid, all the Valkyries caught in the storm were rescued one by one.
"Lady Rita!"
The surviving Valkyries all showed expressions of surprise and delight upon seeing the beautiful figure wielding a scythe.
Although the New Zealand branch was in a remote and impoverished area, they certainly couldn't possibly fail to recognize Rita Rossweisse, one of the organization's two publicly known S-class Valkyries.
As an S-rank Valkyrie, Rita's reputation among the lower-ranking Valkyries is not much worse than Durandal's.
"Leave here with the wounded."
After laying down an unconscious Valkyrie, Rita gave a rather serious order.
Soon, while covering the retreat of the surviving Valkyries, she was spotted by the happy woman in the sky.
"Rita Losweiser, the S-rank Valkyrie from headquarters, hahaha, you've come at the right time, you've come at the right time!"
Wendy, now on the ground, was no longer in her usual clothes, but in her bandaged barefoot outfit after her transformation. She stared at Sister Ta with great excitement, as if she had spotted some rare prey.
—As the Sin of Jealousy, a scrapped design in the Seven Sins Stigmata, the introverted Green Seele harbors an intense jealousy. It wasn't a big deal when she was still an A-rank Valkyrie, but after losing her future, she secretly became jealous of those healthy Valkyries.
After becoming a Herrscher, this originally superficial emotion was amplified, resulting in Wendy's personal inclination towards the camp hostile to humanity without even needing the so-called Herrscher consciousness.
What I once envied and admired about the S-class Valkyries has now turned into jealousy, which has transformed into the pleasure of wanting to trample and crush these former idols underfoot.
What's so special about an S-rank Valkyrie?
She is a law enforcer!
The S-class Valkyrie I used to dream of becoming is now meaningless to me!
Wendy, who wanted to prove something through Rita, laughed wildly and unleashed several wind blades powerful enough to shred steel.
"...This is difficult."
Rita felt somewhat helpless as she watched the powerful wind blades hurtling towards her.
She arrived in New Zealand earlier than Jiang Qiao. Jiang Qiao was responsible for dealing with Cocolia, while she, as an S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, was responsible for settling in and supporting the New Zealand branch.
So what's going on, running into a Herrscher right off the bat?
After greeting the two easy-going Herrschers, the Herrscher of Void and the Herrscher of Reason, Sister Ta felt a pang of bitterness. Having experienced those two, she was almost starting to have the illusion that all Herrschers were actually teammates... Ah, they're all Jiang Qiao? Never mind then.
However, Sister Ta was still somewhat flustered, after all, the two Herrschers that Jiang Qiao used were terrifyingly strong, which made Sister Ta somewhat timid when facing the Herrscher of Wind.
However, how could an S-rank Valkyrie, destined for greatness, back down?
