Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Mei knew Kiana's strength, so she was at ease.

Leaving the sanatorium, Theresa led the group through the rain, and after about ten minutes, they arrived near the farm.

Several Honkai Beasts harassed them, and they were subsequently ganged up on.

Not far away stood a huge lighthouse, braving the wind and rain, and Wendy was inside it.

The Valkyrie squad was on guard outside when Theresa pushed open the wooden door and went inside.

Another clap of thunder—

A dense aura of Honkai energy filled the air. Following the scent, she saw Wendy leaning against the wall.

There stood a strange robot next to it, which looked like a dead trash can.

"Miss Wendy, think about it carefully, don't these people deserve to die?"

"Think about it again. If you died, would anyone care about you?"

They'll just treat you like a failed guinea pig in their experiments, throw you into a sterile box to be incinerated, and eventually turn you into a pile of garbage.

The robot's indicator lights kept flashing, and the microphone kept emitting a piercing mechanical sound.

The next moment, Judah transformed into a spear and pierced through its body in one fell swoop.

There's no need to look back; it's obvious who made the move.

The great heroine Theresa Apocalypse, an S-rank Valkyrie who defeated the Second Honkai Impact and slew countless Emperor Honkai Beasts.

However, the speaker was still working.

"Look, they're coming over. I told you so..."

It constantly lured and gradually drew out the hatred that had accumulated in the girl's heart.

Before he could finish speaking, another spear shot out and destroyed the speaker.

"Wendy, don't believe its nonsense, you've been deceived."

The Honkai energy reaction is becoming increasingly intense, a sign that a Herrscher is about to be born.

"..."

She remained silent, as if pondering the robot's words.

"We mean you no harm; we all just want to help you..."

Theresa put away Judas, stepped forward, and hoped to have a proper conversation.

"and then?"

Wendy's face darkened. "Is turning into this your idea of ​​helping?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the crutch that had been broken in two beside her.

Now, even standing up is a luxury for her; she is only a step away from death.

"I'm sorry, Wendy, could you give us a chance?"

Bronya was soaked to the bone. Upon hearing the news, she immediately rushed over with the Valkyries.

The misunderstanding has already been formed, and no amount of explanation will help.

“Bronya...”

She raised her head, but her expression quickly dimmed again.

The robot next to him mysteriously reassembled itself and returned to its original state.

"See? They're so hypocritical. They only try to salvage things after something goes wrong."

"Teacher Nightingale, is there any way?"

Kiana tugged at Ziyao's sleeve, speaking anxiously.

I don't know what to do. My former classmate will soon become a Lawyer.

"Let nature take its course."

Ziyao said calmly, "Raven is already prepared nearby."

In this way, Wendy became a Herrscher.

Her plan is about to enter the next phase.

"That's right, get up and kill them, stop tolerating them."

The robot continued to guide the way, while the annoying electronic lights kept flashing.

"..."

Holding onto the wall, Wendy actually managed to stand up on her own.

The Honkai Energy Geiger Calculator instantly exceeded its limit, and the glass shattered.

"Bronya, look, I can stand up now..."

The girl's eyes became clouded with confusion, and the broken power gradually repaired her body.

"!?"

Theresa gripped Judas tightly, ready to defend herself at any moment.

Unexpectedly, the poor robot was smashed to pieces again in the next second.

The hurricane tore the lighthouse apart, and everyone hurriedly put some distance between themselves to avoid the falling boulders.

Mei is holding a katana, her eyes sharp.

This battle was unavoidable.

Book 1: Chapter 67 Sudden Rain, Intertwined Conspiracies

Herrscher Awakening—

One second the lighthouse was safe and sound, and the next two minutes it was nothing but ruins.

The rain stopped.

But the sun did not come out, and the rainbow was hidden deep in the dark clouds.

A fierce wind howled, and the assassins gathered in this direction.

"Wendy, stop right now! Don't let the Honkai take over!"

Judah became a restraint, with several spears connected at their ends to long, gleaming golden chains, deeply embedded in the earth.

A gust of wind swept out, instantly snapping a grove of trees.

Theresa gritted her teeth and tried to make a final negotiation, hoping to get Wendy back on track.

Once they fall into the hands of the Honkai, they will lose themselves, be branded, and become 'conscious' puppets.

"Wendy, we don't want to hurt you."

Ignoring the danger, Bronya approached step by step, hoping to persuade the other party.

Wendy, transformed into the Herrscher, paid no attention to any of this. A gust of wind sent Bronya flying, but fortunately, a Valkyrie caught her in time.

It should have dealt considerable damage.

The wind blades merely pushed Bronya away, without revealing any lethality.

Perhaps... this shows that the other person still has humanity deep down.

Otherwise, why would she leave the sanatorium and come here?

Hoping that communication was still possible, Theresa decided to first control Wendy.

The battle is about to break out.

The two fought fiercely, and the area around the battleground was soon a mess.

"Kiana, you just need to protect Nightingale. You don't need to participate in the battle."

Mei raised the scabbard with her left hand, blocking the paramecium's path.

The Valkyries present were mostly A-rank, and partly out of personal motives, she didn't want her friends to get hurt.

"Lady Theresa, the Undying Blade has arrived at the New Lan Highway."

A Valkyrie received the news and immediately came to inform her.

Theresa gritted her teeth; she couldn't let Rita and the others come over, at least not now.

So she made a decision that went against Otto's wishes.

This was one of the plans that Ziyao had left for her beforehand.

Drive away the tiger to devour the wolf —

The location of the Undying Blade, broadcasted, led to an entanglement between them and the Anti-Entropy forces stationed in the suburbs.

I'm sure the other side won't let this opportunity slip by and will definitely try to stop it.

This tactic proved effective; as soon as the location was broadcast, Rita and the others were immediately disrupted.

Theresa glanced gratefully at Ziyao, who was now in a safe position.

That's good, it will make it easier for her to fight freely.

She is a Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie, no ordinary person, and she would be no less capable of dealing with Herrschers!

On the other side, in a corner of the battlefield.

Ziyao found the rain-soaked parcel box in the grass, inside which was a disc-shaped metal object.

A note was attached to it stating that it was fragile and should be handled with care. The final payment was made by [Raven].

This is the weapon specifically designed for Herrschers, the Staff of the Underworld.

Jackal was indeed a talented individual; relying solely on crucial clues and tattered blueprints, he successfully recreated it.

[Raven: I'm in position at the lighthouse across the way. Gray Serpent has successfully hacked into the local network. He's waiting for your good news.]

[Nightingale: Watch my hand signals and wait for the right moment.]

[Raven: Why wait for that girl to awaken as a Herrscher? Never mind, I won't ask anymore.]
