Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

The three of them had just agreed and were about to set off when they saw new threads coming at them again.

Durandal planted the Black Abyss White Flower in the ground, but her hand never left her gun.

At this moment, the Key of God is activated.

"The Holy Lance Blooms!"

Countless threads instantly shattered, turning into light, floating specks of light that drifted down in mid-air like flying flowers.

The silk thread attack was ineffective. Suddenly, a group of puppets appeared around the building, walking with a pseudo-human gait, but their movements were surprisingly synchronized. In the dim light, they were indistinct and could only be seen as blurry masses. This scene made Kiana feel terrified.

"They're relentless! I'll go get rid of them. Rita, you stay here and guard them."

"Yes."

Durandal flew forward, changing her armor and donning the Undying Star Anchor mid-flight. As golden flames erupted, the puppets collapsed in large numbers, like harvested wheat.

Rita held the giant scythe, her body slightly lowered, alert to any movement around her.

"Miss Kiana, please don't wander off. They may have already identified you as a target."

"I know."

However, the two waited for a long time without seeing any movement from the Herrscher.

Durandal continued her charge, determined to annihilate all the puppets. Her overwhelming momentum gradually terrified the puppets, causing them to scatter like birds and beasts.

Seeing this, she stopped in her tracks. Based on the idea that one should not pursue a defeated enemy, she decided to return to defend.

Golden threads suddenly coiled around her feet, and Durandal pointed her fingers like a knife, slashing her down.

The moment she looked away, she suddenly froze on the spot.

The world before my eyes suddenly changed, and everything in front of me became utterly unfamiliar.

She rubbed her eyes, but nothing in front of her had changed.

This is a maze with a brick and stone roof. Torches are stuck on both sides of the passage, and the quiet passage is unfathomably deep under the flickering firelight. Strange figures can be vaguely seen and disappear within it.

"Humph!"

Durandal closed her eyes, concentrated all her power into her hand, and unleashed a full-force attack!

y/u*e-已倭衫呜齐（九）轳彡（二）轰隆！

Golden flames surged, and a terrifying explosion erupted within the maze, sending up thick smoke and dust. The shockwave entered the passage, but was quickly deflected by some force, rebounding back onto Durandal.

“Poof!”

She reacted a beat too slow, only managing to cover her chest with her hands before being sent flying by the force of the impact, slamming hard against the wall.

This didn't hurt her, but it gave her a headache.

Because after the smoke cleared, the maze in front of us was completely intact, as if the punch had had no effect whatsoever.

After trying several more times, she finally determined that this place could not be damaged.

"What exactly happened? How did I get sent here?"

Many doubts lingered in my mind, but for now, I could only take it one step at a time.

Not being good at decryption, she now somewhat hoped that Rita or Bai Yan were here, otherwise she would really have a headache.

Let's take it one step at a time. The situation is unclear right now, so it's best not to act rashly.

With a sigh, she slowly walked into the maze's passageway.

the other side.

As Durandal did not return, Rita had a bad feeling.

"Miss Kiana, let's try to get out of here first. Lady Durandal probably won't be back for a while."

"...No need to be so subtle. With her strength, the fact that she hasn't returned yet means she's probably being held back by the Herrscher. But I don't want to run away. After all, she was trapped because she saved me, and I can't just leave like that."

Rita sighed and had no choice but to agree.

The next moment, the doll's shrill and strange voice rang out.

"What a noble character, truly admirable."

Rita's lips twitched, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Kiana immediately became alert and stood back to back with Rita.

The golden threads attacked again, trying to entangle the two of them immediately. However, this time they were prepared and managed to knock them away in time, preventing them from getting any closer.

“Looks like this isn’t working anymore,” the doll scratched its head, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly made a coin-flicking gesture with one hand. “Then what about this?”

A flash of light filled the entire space.

The two couldn't help but cover their stinging eyes.

boom!

With a sudden burst of purple light, a bolt of lightning struck Rita.

To the latter's astonishment, lightning struck her.

Instead of the terrifying damage she had anticipated, Rita only felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and this tingling and itchy feeling continued to intensify.

"Uh! Uh! Uh..."

Kiana, who was very close to Rita, lowered her hands from her eyes. The flash of light was so terrifying that she couldn't even open her eyes.

Then she heard an unpleasant electrical hum.

Turning her head, she discovered that a bolt of purple lightning was lightly striking Rita, making her feel uncomfortable all over and unable to move.

"..."

—What kind of torture is this?!

Kiana was dumbfounded.

However, the golden threads didn't give her a chance to be stunned. They had already quietly descended in the instant of the flash and secretly wrapped around her feet.

At that moment, the golden thread pulled sharply, lifting Kiana upside down.

"What?! Oh no!"

She was quickly dragged away, and no matter how much she struggled, it was no use.

The purple lightning quickly disappeared, and golden threads wrapped around Rita, who seemed to be exhausted, dragging the two of them into a certain space within the Domination Theater.

In an unknown location, Bai Yan flicked his fingers a few times to collect the silk threads, then wiped the sweat from his forehead, clearly indicating that he had expended a considerable amount of energy.

He turned his head and looked in one direction.

There, Durandal was suspended in mid-air, with two floating bricks beneath her feet, which moved up and down like a treadmill conveyor belt, perfectly synchronized with the blonde Valkyrie.

Beside Durandal, there were a few spare bricks ready to fill in at any time.

Each of the several pieces was connected by silk threads, and they were subject to the control of the power.

Bai Yan deliberately cleared away all unnecessary objects around her, because as long as what she touched did not match her five senses, the illusion would immediately disappear.

If it were an ordinary person, disappearing wouldn't be a big deal; at worst, Bai Yan could just kill them with a single sword strike.

But Durandal is different; she's a bit too overpowered.

According to Bai Yan's judgment, they were not the first group to come and besiege the thousand Herrschers; other opponents would follow one after another.

He's certainly not afraid of Durandal, but with the others added in...

"We need to electrocute Sister Ta for another two hours!"

With so many suggestive maneuvers, it's understandable that the goose, Daigo, wouldn't understand, but surely Rita would?

She did it on purpose!

Without a doubt, the people who came were not just those destined for heaven.

So many people are grouping up to boost their own numbers?

Then I, as the Boss, will have to give all the heroes a proper welcome.

Bai Yan used some methods to seal several girls and continued to prepare for battle.

"We're probably going to have a tough battle soon, so we can't afford to play those fancy tricks..."

"A mob, transform!"

Countless puppets quickly gathered together, some forming heads, others forming legs, gradually merging into a huge whole.

Just as Bai Yan was making preparations, the Dominion Theater was once again hit hard.

Boom boom boom!

The enormous spaceship crashed in, and the entire Domination Theater seemed to be hit by a major earthquake; even Bai Yan was almost shaken off his seat.

He quickly adjusted the illusion to prevent Durandal from waking up.

He then looked towards the epicenter and saw a red figure carrying a greatsword rushing in.

At the same time, the Hyperion seemed to have locked onto his position, rampaging around while simultaneously charging some kind of weapon mounted on its hull.

Theresa's voice came over the loudspeaker on the Hyperion.

"Herrscher, give me back my niece!"

Book 1: Chapter 111: Even if it takes one hand to support the Hyperion...

"Durandal has lost contact, and Gernius has not responded."

On the Hyperion, Bronya ruthlessly broadcast this information, and everyone quickly began to analyze it.

“I think she’s holding off the Herrscher and can’t spare a move; we should take this opportunity to rush up and attack the Herrscher, catching her off guard!” Himeko stood up, carrying her greatsword.

“Wait a minute,” Tesla quickly pulled her back. “Even if it’s as you guessed, we should figure out the situation before we move in. For example, why is there still no news about Rita?”

“That’s true…” Himeko sat back down, but still held the greatsword in her hand.

"Walter, what do you think?" Tesla asked.

“I tend to agree with Himeko’s point of view. With Durandal’s strength, no one in this world could defeat her in such a short time. Therefore, I also agree to launch an attack, but—”

Walter paused, looking at Himeko with a serious expression: "While you lead the charge, to be on the safe side, we need to activate the Moon Throne in advance. The rest of you must also be prepared for battle and be able to provide support immediately."

"it is good!"

Bronya is fine!

Everyone immediately began preparations, and Bronya and Seele also prepared a support plan.

The Hyperion activated, and the entire spaceship vanished from its spot.

Soon after, it appeared directly in the space where the theater was located. Everyone in the cockpit looked at the instruments and quickly located a certain area.

"The energy fluctuations are most intense in this place; it's likely that Durandal is currently engaged in battle."

"The fluctuations have disappeared, could it be..."

"Don't jump to conclusions yet, let me go and take a look first."

Himeko, fully armed, then took the elevator up and walked out carrying a greatsword.

Himeko said something into the communicator, looked ahead, and then flew out after charging up her strength.

At this moment, she has been completely transformed. After Bai Yan's special treatment, not only have the Honkai erosions on her body disappeared, but her Honkai energy adaptability has even been improved to a normal level, and her strength has increased by more than one level.

While not as skilled as a regular Herrscher, she is no less than an ordinary S-rank.

"No enemy sighted ahead—wait, why did you run right into them?!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a violent impact exploded, causing Himeko to instinctively cover her ears.

"Really, are they all children? What's wrong with Walter?"

[It's alright, Himeko. This is to lure out the Herrscher and relieve some pressure on Durandal.]

Walter's voice came through the communicator with remarkable rationality.

"Okay, then—wait a minute, what's that?!"

Everyone turned their gazes and saw a massive, all-encompassing hand sweeping across the sky above the theater, moving with seemingly slow but actually swift speed.
