They actually regret it quite a bit now.
The reason we built the Moon Throne before was simply because Old Yang had no way to make it, and it was also a crucial weapon in the records for fighting the End. So there was no other way; if we wanted to fight the End, we had to build it.
As a result, Jiang Qiaoya successfully proved to them that it wasn't that the Herald of Reason couldn't create it; it was simply a matter of poor quality.
As long as Honkai is allowed, you can build as many as you want.
But you say it's almost finished being built, and you can't bear to tear it down.
As a result, it's stuck in this half-baked state.
Fortunately, Bronya was powerful enough, otherwise Tesla and Eindhoven wouldn't know whether to continue investing in this unfortunate thing.
"All right."
"...So fast?" Tesla was somewhat taken aback as he looked at the silver-haired girl who had put her hand down.
Bronya: "(? ? ? )"
This machine is almost completely drained, can you guess why it's so fast?
Fortunately, the Moon Throne was already nearly complete.
Otherwise, if we really go all out, we'd probably need to use up a dozen or so Bronyas to make up for it.
Even so, during the time Jiang Qiao was away, all the stock she had accumulated was completely wiped out.
Feeling an emptiness as if her body had been completely drained, the silver-haired girl sighed and rubbed her forehead.
Using this body and still having to pay taxes... Sigh.
The next moment, a sharp alarm blared in my ears:
"warn--!"
Chapter 174 Ride On
2014. Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
This once prosperous city, located in the Southeast Asian island group and the capital of a country, has now been reduced to a sea of fire due to a sudden and massive collapse.
Amidst the sea of fire filled with Honkai Beasts and zombies, a thigh covered in special metal armor slowly stepped onto the ground.
"How is the evacuation of the people going?"
Azure armor, sharp scythes, and short, grey-gold hair concealing her figure—Rita Rossweisse, the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, was communicating with 'Skadi' via the Valkyrie Channel.
"Most of the people have been evacuated, but... Anna is missing."
Under Durandal's orders, the Snow Lotus Squad stationed in the Southeast Asian branch was tasked with guarding Manila. They performed exceptionally well, saving the vast majority of civilians at the very first moment of the Honkai outbreak, but the Snow Lotus Squad also suffered considerable losses.
Besides the regular team members, there was also the case reported by the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad—the disappearance of Anna Shaniat, the vice-captain of the Snow Lotus Squad.
Rita could hear the dejection coming from the communication channel. For the Valkyrie, being out of contact and being killed in action were not really that different.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine."
As a seasoned Valkyrie, Rita was already used to such things and could only offer words of comfort before single-handedly clearing out the Honkai Beasts—as the lieutenant of the Undying Blade, she should have been leading the Valkyrie force of the Undying Blade in this task, but...
A hint of resentment flashed in Sister Ta's eyes as she glanced at the 'refrigerator' that was wreaking havoc.
With such a thing in her possession, how could she dare to act with her subordinates?
Back at headquarters, Rita did consider asking the logistics department to help change this awkward setting, but the result was obvious—Nagamitsu, the director of the Destiny Saint 1504 Research Institute and also the person in charge of the Valkyrie Armor project, gave the answer after research: it can't be changed, just make do with it as it is.
The power of the Herrscher of Truth directly rubbed the researchers' heads into the ground—if it were a reconstruction of the Herrscher of Reason's understanding, it would be easier to explain. Although it is also a 'construction of imagination,' it is itself carried out according to structure and can be disassembled.
However, the power of 'construction and understanding' of the Herrscher of Truth is completely different. The principle of this ultimate ability of 'imagination' is 'I think'. If you don't use a blueprint, you can't even think about what the internal structure is like. To put it more abstractly, it is a solid block welded together. Don't ask why the solid block can produce so many effects. The answer is that when the Herrscher of Truth designed it, she thought it would have these effects.
As long as you don't disassemble it, it can continue to operate as long as you provide it with energy. But once you disassemble it... even the Herrscher of Truth herself probably wouldn't be able to put it back together exactly as it was.
In response, Changguang also comforted Rita, saying, "You see, although it's a bit abstract, the Herrscher of Reason is still quite human."
For example...
As long as you open the refrigerator door, you can really put drinks in it, and you can take them out and enjoy a refreshing drink anytime, anywhere during battle—the Moon Soul Armor has gained an extra life skill for no reason, you've hit the jackpot!
Unfortunately, she couldn't ask for a different set.
Since each set of Godslayer Armor is basically exclusive and expensive, and if you're dissatisfied with the design of your 'Guardian Spirit' and want to change it... I suggest you create one yourself.
There was nothing she could do but humiliatingly become the 'owner of the refrigerator'.
Although its design is ugly, it has a kind of powerful beauty.
In this bittersweet situation, Rita could only silently accept it—at most, she wouldn't call out the refrigerator during most battles, and when she did, she would immediately start fighting alone.
She didn't want the Valkyries' descendants to mention that Lady Durandal was—the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny.
Mentioning himself...
"Lady Rita is amazing! But why is she using a refrigerator in battle?"
"Well, perhaps this is Lady Rita's hobby?"
"Never mind, Rita looks really cool fighting alongside the refrigerator."
Thinking of all this, Sister Ta felt a wave of dizziness wash over her—gritting her teeth, she viciously raised her scythe and slashed at the large, protruding ██ of the tank-class Honkai Beast beside her.
Tell me, are you laughing at me too?
Despite its enormous size, the tank-class Honkai Beast had adorable little eyes, and with an innocent expression, it turned into specks of purple Honkai energy and vanished into thin air.
"...this."
Rita suddenly paused and looked in a certain direction.
The Honkai energy detection device, used in conjunction with the Moon Soul Armor, caused the Honkai energy level to rise at an extremely rapid pace.
It also brought her a feeling that was very familiar...
—The Lawyer.
They sped up, quickly clearing out the incoming Honkai creatures, and their field of vision gradually expanded.
It also allowed her to witness firsthand the source of that familiar power.
Amidst the ruins, kneeling on the ground, was a girl with long, gray-gold hair similar to her own.
"Anna Schariac".
Rita recognized the other person at a glance and stopped, her brows furrowing slightly.
She was actually quite familiar with her, after all, she was one of the best among the new generation of the Valkyrie Squad—plus the name 'Shaniat'. Anna greatly admired Durandal, who inherited the title of the strongest Valkyrie of Cecilia's Destiny, and was a typical fangirl. Naturally, Rita, as her adjutant, had also had contact with her.
But this...
What exactly happened?
Sensing the potential danger of Honkai energy and the gradually decreasing temperature in the air, Touko's heart grew heavy.
However, she still risked the danger and slowly approached Anna.
The tear tracks down the girl's eyes and the ice crystals falling to the ground said it all.
"I... backed down."
Shaniat is the name for 'salvation'.
Just as people from the Kaslana family take it upon themselves to protect the people, Shaniat naturally shares a similar dedication.
Even at the cost of my own life, I will save others.
Cecilia Schariac, the former strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, sacrificed herself to save the people affected by the Honkai during the Second Great Collapse, and used the forbidden technique 'White Flower Blood' because she was influenced by this philosophy.
Mistelin, as a crystallization of the Stigmata of the Shaniat, will self-destruct due to the contradiction in her beliefs.
For them, faith is more important than life itself.
Perhaps ordinary Valkyries might be afraid of death—that's okay, it's perfectly normal to be afraid of death.
No one will condemn them.
But the Valkyries of Shaniat are an exception—no matter how excusable or how many reasons there may be.
Once they betray their beliefs, even if others don't care or know, they will develop thoughts like 'inner demons' and torment themselves.
This is probably like the 'savior' engraved in the bloodline of the Kaslana family.
Anna was originally optimistic enough—she buried this pain in her heart until it was revealed by a man named Chen Tianwu.
But now, perhaps because of her status as the 'Fifth Herrscher', even though she originally had the mental fortitude to keep these feelings hidden, under the influence of the 'Cocoon,' these feelings of guilt and collapse have been amplified to the point where they can no longer be concealed.
"...Anna, calm down."
Feeling the chilling aura emanating from the other person, even through the Godslayer Armor, Rita felt a pang of fear, but could only try to soothe their emotions.
"..."
Anna didn't answer; her eyes were empty.
In a sense, she was already doing her best to suppress herself.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have become a Herrscher by now.
Think of your companions...
