I'm a little panicked when I cross the collapse

In Otto's office at the Destiny headquarters.

Amber stood in front of Otto with a respectful look on her face, bowed her head and reported: "Your Excellency the Bishop, Chi You's life information has disappeared."

Otto was slightly surprised to hear the news. He raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of disbelief: "Oh? I didn't expect my good granddaughter to be so capable that she could actually destroy a Judgment-level Honkai beast."

However, Amber's expression was a little hesitant. She bit her lip and decided to report truthfully: "Chiyou was not killed by Lady Theresa. Lady Theresa is now driving Hyperion to Jiuyou." After saying that, she gently pressed the remote control in her hand, and a video began to play on the screen.

A few minutes later, the video ended. Otto was silent for a moment, then said with emotion: "Student Lu Qiong's improvement in strength is truly amazing!"

There was a look of regret in his eyes, and he sighed, "What a pity..."

Otto's words seemed to have a certain meaning, but only he knew what it meant. Amber stood quietly by the side, waiting for his next instruction. The atmosphere in the room became a little solemn, as if foreshadowing that something important might happen next.

On the other side, as Hyperion accelerated, Theresa and Jizi also arrived above Lu Qiong and others. The two people in the control room were shocked to see Chi You's huge body being neatly cut into three pieces. Has Lu Qiong become stronger again?

This is a Judgment-level Honkai beast that has existed since ancient times. It is not some cabbage that can be found everywhere in the vegetable market!

After Lu Qiong and the others boarded the ship, Theresa looked at the unharmed Lu Qiong in front of her and thought to herself: "This kid's strength has increased so quickly, he might not be human either."

Lu Qiong said with a serious face: "Report to Teacher Ji Zi and Principal Theresa, the mission of exploring Jiuyou has been successfully completed." Lu Qiong suddenly glanced at Kiana, and then Kiana handed the Xuanyuan Sword to Ji Zi reluctantly.

Lu Qiong continued: "And the biggest goal of this operation, the natural stigma, was also successfully found."

Theresa and Himeko were very excited to hear this.

Theresa: "That's great, we don't have to worry about Jizi's life span anymore." Jizi was also a little excited. She was indeed not afraid of death now, but who doesn't want to live a few more years?

Ji Zi's eyes were a little moist. She just looked at Lu Qiong and said to him with mixed emotions, "Thank you," and then she didn't say much.

陆穹见状也只是笑笑，突然来自天命总部的通讯传来，德丽莎疑惑：“爷爷？”，点击接通，然后奥托那欠揍的声音和影像便传了出来。

Otto: "My dear granddaughter Theresa, you really did something that shocked me." At this point, Otto looked at Lu Qiong meaningfully, "Especially Lu Qiong, his strength is enough to become an S-class Valkyrie, so the resources allocated to Saint Freya Academy will be adjusted upwards in the future."

Theresa also said happily: "Thank you, Bishop!"

Otto's expression suddenly became serious. "However, you need to hand over what you found inside Chi You's body to the Tianming Headquarters."

Theresa looked at Lu Qiong and asked, "Is this true?"

Lu Qiong ignored Theresa's gaze and said "respectfully": "My Lord Bishop, your information channels are very well-informed. We did find something in Chi You's body, but they are just two Honkai crystals containing strong Honkai energy."

Otto looked at Lu Qiong sharply for a while, then smiled and said, "In that case, please hand them over."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Kiana was a little confused: "Brother, don't you still have a ball? Why did you lie to the bishop?"

Lu Qiong tapped her little head and said angrily: "Think about it, the people from the Tianming Headquarters did nothing in this mission and yet they want to reap all the rewards. This is too unreasonable. Besides, this ball is not of much use to the Bishop..."

Theresa also spoke up: "Lu Qiong is right. Although we are indeed affiliated with the Tianming Headquarters, there are some things that should be kept secret."

Lu Qiong was a little surprised and thought to himself: "Has Theresa become smarter too?"

On the other side, at the Tianming headquarters, "My Lord Bishop, you knew Lu Qiong was lying, why didn't you expose him?" Amber was a little confused.

Otto laughed: "We didn't do anything this time, so we shouldn't ask them for "harvest". Besides, it doesn't matter if he keeps those two things. They are of no great use to me." (He still has a lot of the Tenth God Key) (Compared with all the essence of the previous civilization in the Void Treasures, those things are nothing.)

As Hyperion was returning, Theresa began to praise everyone: "Everyone's performance was very good this time, especially Lu Qiong. This mission was successful thanks to him. Congratulations to Lu Qiong for successfully becoming an S-class Valkyrie."

Theresa was very happy because there were now two S-class Valkyries in the Far East branch, and even the Destiny had only two, oh no, now there was only one, and Rita was also in Saint Freya.

Thinking of this, Theresa was wondering whether she should... Forget it. How could her grandfather, Archbishop Tianming, not have any tricks? Theresa dismissed the dangerous thoughts in her mind.

Lu Qiong handed the stigmata to the medical staff on Hyperion. It was a pity that after examination and verification, it was confirmed that the stigmata was natural, but because of the defect, the effect was not very good. However, it could add another 20 years to Jizi's lifespan. But she could no longer use the Nexus system that harmed her body, otherwise the power of the defective stigmata would be slowly eroded by the Honkai energy, and her lifespan would still be shortened.

Lu Qiong was a little frustrated when he got the news. What he wanted was to solve Ji Zi's problem completely, rather than just treating the symptoms. Theresa also stood on the stool and patted Lu Qiong on the shoulder and said, "Just do your best."

After the successful transplant of the stigmata, Jizi did show significant changes, and her complexion was visibly better. Lu Qiong also knew that he could not persuade Jizi to use the Nexus system, so he could only hope that Jizi would use it as little as possible.

A few hours later, the Hyperion landed at the Far East Base. Kiana was the first to get off the Hyperion and stretched herself: "Ah! The mission is finally over and I can take a vacation!"

Seeing Kiana like this, Theresa also had a dark line on her face: "Don't be too happy too soon, Kiana, you only have one day off today, and you will have formal classes tomorrow. You have missed a lot of homework during the mission. Hurry up and make up for it."

Ah! Qiana collapsed and said, "Aunt, how could you do this? It's almost afternoon now, and the holiday is less than half a day."
