As if by magic, Walther conjured up two pistols that looked exactly like the Heavenly Fire Judgment out of thin air.
"Great! It perfectly suits my Galaxy Baseball Man persona!"
"Actually, the Judgment of Heavenly Fire has another form, and its appearance is somewhat similar to the Flame Spear you obtained in Yalilo."
Suddenly, Siegfried's communication device rang.
"Lord Siegfried, a new batch of Honkai Beasts has just appeared near the Tower of Babylon."
"This time there are approximately 300!"
Siegfried immediately replied, "Hang in there, I'm coming to get you right away!"
Just as he was about to leave, Walter stopped him.
"The Honkai Beasts are stalling for time; we mustn't fall for their trap."
"Einstein, you stay and help guard the Tower of Babel. Siegfried and Theresa, please come with me."
“But…” Siegfried was about to say something when he suddenly realized he was powerless to refute, “I understand. If the enemy is capable of tearing space, then having Salome and the others act together would only be a hindrance.”
P.S.: By the way, what storyline are you planning to watch next, Onphalos or Pinocchio, or something else you'd like to suggest?
Chapter 22 I was careless and didn't dodge.
"This is the place Judah pointed out."
Following Judas's guidance, Welt and his two companions successfully located the Second Herrscher.
But what lay before them was a giant… “egg”?
"But what exactly is this? Could that purple-haired girl be inside?" Theresa instinctively reached out to touch it.
"Don't touch it!" Welt warned in time, sensing something was wrong. "A huge surge of Honkai energy suddenly appeared inside that egg! Get out of there immediately!"
"I see."
Unfortunately, Theresa's fingertips had already touched the egg's shell, which was as smooth as water, and stirred up ripples.
A hand emerged from the surface of the "egg" and grasped Theresa's right hand.
Before Theresa could resist, several hands simultaneously reached out from the surface of the egg and pulled her inside the giant egg.
"Damn it! I've completely lost face!"
In the principal's office at St. Freya Academy, Theresa buried her flushed cheeks in a pile of Houmu comics to ease her embarrassment.
Looking back now, I realize that my actions were indeed too reckless.
"No way! Kiana, you've insulted the headmistress in public! Your homework has to be doubled!"
"Theresa!"
"Theresa, hold on! I'm coming to save you!"
Siegfried, realizing what was happening, rushed forward to try and save Theresa.
Walter grabbed his hand and stopped him from moving forward.
"Siegfried, calm down! We haven't figured out our opponent's strength yet. Rushing in rashly will only put us in danger and send us to our deaths," he advised.
Siegfried pulled his hand away from Walter's, clearly not wanting to think about anything further.
"No matter how dangerous it is, I will go to save Theresa. The Kaslana family will never abandon their comrades."
As he spoke, he walked toward the giant egg.
“If you’re scared, go back. I’m fine on my own.” He slammed his hand down on the giant egg with a loud “smack.”
Walter's assessment of this was:
"An impulsive guy..."
"What were those hands doing just now...?"
Siegfried pounded on the giant egg, but the hand that had just grabbed Theresa did not reappear.
A deafening roar followed, and this time, a Honkai Beast appeared!
"Honkai Beast?!"
In the world of Shoggoth, Shigure Kira clenched her fists in anger.
"They're a perfect match, a match made in heaven~" The creature on her shoulder, which looked like a black cotton candy, mocked.
"Nikolais!!!"
Meanwhile, outside the Tower of Babylon.
Nicholas started snacking out of boredom.
"Salome, would you like some snacks?" With a spirit of sharing, Nicholas handed Salome the dried squid in his hand.
"don't want!!"
Salome couldn't help but close her eyes; she didn't want this idiot to appear in her sight again.
"Oh dear, what a pity!"
With no other option, Nicholas had to pop the dried squid into his mouth.
"Ah, the dried squid is frozen solid! It's so hard!"
"Stop fooling around! We're still on guard duty! We can't let any Honkai Beast slip by!"
"That being said... we can't get involved at all right now... after all, our helpers are too powerful."
In the distance, the Anti-Entropy robots are relentlessly eliminating Honkai Beasts with extremely high efficiency.
Their commander was none other than Einstein, the anti-entropy personnel standing atop the iron tower.
"Numbers 1003 to 1094, eliminate the Honkai Beasts on the left."
"Redeploy 300 eins autonomous combat robots at location X-2."
"Order received. Commence annihilation operation." The control panel in Einstein's hand emitted a sound.
Einstein sighed slightly.
Regarding this scene, she said, "It's a simple battle."
Salome's forehead veins bulged, while Nicholas looked completely indifferent.
"but--"
"It seems like something has been forgotten."
30 kilometers away, the anti-entropy base.
Achoo!
Dr. Tesla, his head covered in snowflakes, sneezed for what seemed like the umpteenth time.
"So slow... Why hasn't Chicken Head sent a message yet?" She felt like she was about to catch a cold.
"Oh right, I still have a few fish I've been saving and haven't eaten yet." Xing ran back to her room, rummaged through the collection room, and finally found three frozen dried fish.
"March, do you want some?" Xing handed it to March 7.
"No way!"
"Where's Danheng?" Seeing that Sanyue wasn't eating, she handed some to Danheng.
"……Need not."
"Well, that's a pity. Although the taste wasn't very good, it was also quite tough."
"That makes it completely inedible!"
Chapter 23 Negotiation
Siegfried braced his hands against the enormous Honkai Beast before him, feeling the immense force emanating from them. He exclaimed in shock:
"This Honkai Beast is incredibly strong; even I can't withstand it. Could it be an Emperor-level Honkai Beast?!"
So he immediately decided to ask Walter for help.
"Hey! Help me!"
Just then, a ray of light flashed across his hair.
A wisp of black smoke rose, and his hair was on fire.
In response to his plea for help, Walter simply adjusted his glasses and repeated what Siegfried had said a few minutes earlier: "Didn't you just say that you were enough on your own?"
Siegfried realized he had indeed been a bit presumptuous; a bead of cold sweat trickled down his back, and he awkwardly began to speak:
"I...I know I was wrong. Please help me, First Herrscher."
A little girl and a robot gradually appeared in Xing's mind.
What if Clara and Schwarz were replaced by this man named Siegfried and Uncle Yang?
Wow~ The image is too beautiful for her to imagine.
【"All right."
Siegfried saw a hand rest on the arm of the Honkai Beast he was desperately supporting.
"But you remembered it."
"You owe me a favor."
Siegfried looked away somewhat guiltily. It seemed that this time, he would have to owe this favor no matter what.
The instant Welt released his hand from the Honkai Beast.
A tremendous force of gravity instantly pressed down on the Honkai Beast.
"Awoooooo!"
The Honkai Beast began to struggle and howl.
But its struggle is doomed to failure in the face of absolute suppression.
"Knight of the Second Herrscher, please withdraw."
The Star of Eden unleashed its attack, completely annihilating the Honkai Beasts.
"Next, let's hurry and find Theresa."
"There was nothing inside the shell. Where exactly was Theresa taken?"
Looking at the huge empty shell in front of him, which contained nothing at all, Siegfried was incredulous.
“They’re right here, you just can’t see them.” Then, Walter bit down on his glove.
Why couldn't I just take off my gloves normally back then?!
Inside the party car, watching himself unconsciously showing off on the light screen, Walter felt like he was dying.
Looking back now, after all these years, it still seems a bit childish!
Hopefully, no one else has missed this detail...
Walter decided to keep a low profile for the time being, letting his past self bear these embarrassing moments.
"Such a move definitely makes you look more handsome."
The familiar machine voice rang out, and Walter was momentarily stunned.
How could I have forgotten about this guy?
Walter's hands touched the empty void.
"Utilizing the ability to manipulate space—"
"Creating an 'imaginary space' superimposed on real space."
In that instant, it seemed as if he had truly touched another dimension.
His fingers suddenly dug in.
"She's in here."
