As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

"Calling the commander of the first detachment in the Far East, this is Theresa Apocalypse, a B-rank Valkyrie, a member of the Bishop's direct forces!"

In a forest, Theresa leaped through the trees, wielding Judah, while simultaneously contacting the main battlefield via her communicator. "Please report the exact coordinates; I am about to arrive at the battlefield."

"This is the commander of the Far East First Branch Squad, A-rank Valkyrie, Gali." A capable female voice came through the communicator. "Ten hours ago, a giant Honkai Beast reaction, unprecedented in its kind, was observed nearby. Temporarily codenamed 'Parvati'!"

"My team and I are now heading to the target area for a cleanup mission."

'Parvati...an old friend...' Chen Yuan thought to himself, perched on Theresa's shoulders. He wasn't actually very familiar with this part of the story, but Schicksal's intelligence network must have made a mistake. After all, Parvati wasn't just a simple Chariot-class Honkai Beast, but a true Emperor-class Honkai Beast!

"In that case, please send me the coordinates so I can cooperate with you in combat!"

"Although I heard that the person coming would be an elite member of the bishop's direct forces, I didn't expect it to be a child, really!" Upon hearing Theresa's words, Gali shook her head on the other end of the communicator, looking dissatisfied.

"I really don't know what those higher-ups at Schicksal are thinking. Oh well, none of this concerns me." With that, Kaori sighed. "I'll send you the coordinates now. Remember, don't push yourself. If you encounter a situation you can't handle, retreating is acceptable."

"Thank you for your concern, I'll be careful!" After receiving the coordinates, Theresa hung up the call and let out a long sigh of relief. "So this is an A-rank Valkyrie? Although I haven't met her, just from her voice, she seems like someone not to be trifled with!"

"Well, after all, he's a seasoned warrior; he definitely exudes a certain aura," Chen Yuan reminded her. "Judging from Jia Li's words, this Honkai Beast called 'Parvati' is probably not simple."

"Yes, I understand." Theresa nodded, though she wasn't showing it on her face, even though she was a little nervous. Chen Yuan looked at her and sighed softly. "Don't be nervous, Theresa, I'm here for you."

This mission was of great significance to Theresa. It was her first time participating in and carrying out a combat mission as a B-rank Valkyrie. Furthermore, because of Otto, most of the high-ranking members of Schicksal were closely monitoring her situation.

Before long, Theresa and Chenyuan arrived at the designated area, where all that remained was a forest eroded by Honkai energy. The trees were withered, the land was cracked, and a suffocating atmosphere permeated the air.

"You are Theresa Theresa Apocalypse?" At that moment, a black-haired woman wielding a greatsword emerged from the bushes. "Nice to meet you. I am the commander of this battle, the A-rank Valkyrie, Kali!"

Theresa looked up at the black-haired woman before her. The woman was dressed in a standard Valkyrie uniform, her eyes calm, and one look was enough to tell she was not to be trifled with. Theresa took a deep breath and gave a slight bow: "Nice to meet you. I am Theresa Apocalypse, a B-rank Valkyrie."

Kaori nodded slightly, then turned around and pointed to an area in front of her that had been corrupted by Honkai energy, saying, "According to intelligence, the tank-class Honkai Beast codenamed 'Parvati' briefly stayed here."

"You're late. The battle plan has already been deployed. You'll stay here for now. Be ready to provide support if there are any special circumstances."

At this point, Jiali sighed, looking at Theresa, who was only slightly taller than her waist, and couldn't help but feel worried. If it weren't for orders, she would have sent Theresa back to where she came from immediately.

"My adjutant has already led a team to scout ahead. Once they find any trace of 'Parvati,' they will immediately report the location and then launch a joint attack."

"BOOM!!!" Before Kari could finish speaking, a series of huge explosions echoed in the distance, followed by the furious roars of Honkai Beasts. Kari couldn't worry about anything else and immediately organized her team to head towards the direction of the explosions.

"Damn it, what went wrong?!" After doing all this, Galina spat in annoyance, then turned to Theresa. "You stay here and wait for my signal to provide support!"

After saying that, Kali turned and headed into the depths of the forest without looking back, giving Theresa no chance to object. Watching Kali's figure disappear in the blink of an eye, Theresa gritted her teeth and wanted to follow her.

(Theresa, your mission has been cancelled. Prepare to proceed to the evacuation point!) Just then, Theresa's communication terminal was forcibly activated, and Otto's voice came through.

"Retreat? Why?!"

(According to news from the front lines, the 'Parvati' currently in direct contact with the Valkyrie is not a Chariot-class Honkai Beast, but an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.)

Otto sighed briefly on the other end of the communicator, but his tone remained unchanged, still gentle. (It seems our intelligence department made a mistake; a fatal error.)

“Emperor-level… how is that possible…” Theresa shook her head, looking at the spot where Kali had disappeared. “Even so, Miss Kali has already made contact with ‘Parvati,’ and it’s possible they’re already fighting!”

(Theresa, Galina's Far East branch squad consists of one A-rank Valkyrie and five B-rank Valkyries. Fighting an Emperor-class Honkai Beast is like throwing an egg against a rock; they'll probably be routed in no time.)

(Alright, my lovely little Theresa. You're not strong enough to fight "Parvati" right now, come back. Don't worry about "Parvati," I'll launch the N2 missile and destroy him in about ten minutes.)

"This shouldn't be happening!! If missiles are launched, what will happen to the Valkyries fighting Parvati?"

(Theresa, this is the most effective way to fight, and besides, Valkyries...) Otto paused here, seemingly to appease Theresa, and then rephrased his statement. (Since they are Valkyries, they must have long been prepared to sacrifice themselves...)

"I will never condone such a thing!!" Before Otto could finish speaking, Theresa forcefully interrupted him. "This kind of sacrifice... is completely unnecessary! I'm going to save them!"

(Wait! Theresa! Come back here!) Unlike his previous calm tone, Otto was clearly anxious now. (This is my order!)

“I’m sorry, Grandpa. But, if it were the strongest Valkyrie in the past, Kallen Kaslana! She would definitely make the same choice as me.” After Theresa finished speaking, she hung up the communication, took a deep breath, and looked at Chen Yuan sitting on her shoulder.

"Well, rationally speaking, Otto's method is indeed correct... but you know, I'm a monster! As everyone knows, monsters don't have rationality. Theresa, let's go!"

"Roger that!"

Theresa nodded, gripping the handle of Judah tightly, a determination she had never felt before burning within her. "Captain Kali, and the rest of the team, wait for me, I will get there!" Theresa took a deep breath, leaped through the dense forest, and sped towards the direction of the battle.

The two traversed the forest corrupted by Honkai energy; the trees seemed drained of life, and a pungent odor filled the air. Because of her concern for the lives of Gali and the other Valkyries, Theresa moved with incredible speed.

Soon, Theresa arrived at the heart of the battle. A colossal Honkai Beast stood there, radiating a terrifying aura. Its size far exceeded that of any Chariot-class Honkai Beast, almost occupying the entire valley.

"Theresa? What are you doing here?" The sharp-eyed Galie spotted Theresa the instant she appeared. "Hurry up and get out of here! The missiles are about to launch. While my team and I are buying time, let's retreat!"

“Captain Kali, I will not retreat.” Theresa pinned Judas to the ground and looked at the roaring “Parvati”, whose golden chains burst forth at that moment.

"I made a promise with someone that I would protect this beautiful world... So please evacuate first, and I will hold it off!"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then a smile crept onto his lips. 'You still remember…'

"Theresa, give me your body!" Chen Yuan said softly, then transformed into his true form and merged into Theresa's body. Immediately afterward, a powerful sense of oppression erupted from her.

"What...what's going on?" Theresa's condition completely overturned Gali's understanding. Although her appearance hadn't changed, the palpable killing intent she exuded was something a B-rank Valkyrie shouldn't possess.

After completing the symbiosis, Chen Yuan suddenly kicked Judas, and several golden chains quickly bound Gali and the other Valkyries as if automatically targeting them, before flinging them away into the distance.

"I'm very sorry, but please leave this place." Watching Jiali and the others completely disappear from the area, Chenyuan silently apologized to them.

"Phew~ That's all that's going to get in the way now." Chen Yuan shook his arm, looking calmly at "Parvati" who was ready to attack, and murmured. "Are you ready, Theresa?"

“Um…of…of course…” Enveloped in the power of fate, Theresa spoke haltingly, yet a stubborn smile still lingered on her lips. “Let…let it…see…my power and your power!”

"Of course!" After saying this, Chen Yuan grabbed Judas, and several golden chains swung open as if they were sentient. The next moment, Chen Yuan rushed towards "Parvati" like an arrow released from a bow.

Seeing Chen Yuan charging towards it, "Parvati" roared and its massive body gradually shrank into a ball. After rolling around a few times, it crashed into Chen Yuan at top speed.
