I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

P.S.: There will only be one update today, because writing battle scenes is too difficult for someone like me who isn't a very good writer. I spent four hours writing this chapter, and I even had a toothache. It was so annoying.

I'll see if I can write more tomorrow. Best regards everyone.

Chapter 51 I am willing to give everything to protect them!

National Stadium —

"That girl in the sky seems really strong. I hope Bianca won't lose," Maria said with a worried expression, looking up at the two locked in combat in the sky.

Honestly, this is the first time Little Pony has seen someone who can go toe-to-toe with Bianca and not be completely overwhelmed. If it were someone else, they probably would have been knocked down with a single punch.

“It shouldn’t be in the short term… but if this girl is the culprit behind the previous natural disaster and her target is this city, then it’s hard to say.” After hearing Maria’s words, Zofia shook her head first, then said with a serious expression.

Although her aunt hadn't explained it very clearly, Maria immediately understood and said with a hint of helplessness and bitterness, "...Given Bianca's personality, she will definitely protect everyone."

"Hmm... that girl's abilities are related to space, so... it's hard to say who will win in the end. I hope Bianca is alright."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zofia raised her head again, gazing at the confident, radiant figure in the sky, and silently prayed.

------------------

"Ha, is this all you can do?"

Sirin looked at Bianca, who was still unharmed after fighting her for so long, and said provocatively with some displeasure.

As of now, neither Sirin nor Bianca can say that they can do anything to each other for the time being.

Sirin completely prevented Bianca from getting close to her, and even blocked and teleported away her ranged attacks. Bianca, on the other hand, was able to perfectly receive and counter all of Sirin's moves.

"..."

Despite Sirin's provocation, Bianca remained completely unmoved, continuing her attack at her own pace. After all, she wasn't some naive little girl who would be provoked or angered by a few words.

"How annoying, they're like flies, so..."

After quickly dodging the several spears that Bianca was wielding and thrusting at her, Sirin's eyes narrowed and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

In the next instant, a pair of enormous claws formed from the power of imaginary numbers appeared out of thin air, enveloping Bianca and attempting to imprison her.

Immediately afterward, before Bianca could break free from the attack, Sirin's malicious voice rang out again, exploding like thunder in the hearts of countless viewers.

"This is the time of judgment! Human beings, these filthy ants, have no reason to exist!!!"

"!"

The moment Sirin spoke, Bianca broke free from the claws of the imaginary number and quickly returned to defense, but it was already too late.

Using her spatial abilities, Sirin bypassed Bianca's energy shield above the Great Knights' territory, creating countless voids beneath the energy barrier, and the Void Realm descended!

空间

A terrifying torrent of energy, including the Spear of the Void, celestial fire, and exploding lightning, poured forth, blasting towards the Great Knight Commandery and its ordinary inhabitants. If Sirin's attack landed, the Great Knight Commandery's destruction would be inevitable.

【this……】

"Ah! I don't want to die!"

"Help, help!!"

"Save me, anyone will do, Bianca!"

"..."

Sirin's words and actions instantly shattered the "audience" that had calmed down slightly because of Bianca, throwing them into chaos once again. Even Mob the Big Mouth was no longer calm and didn't know what to say.

After all, few people can calmly face their own death, let alone such an unexpected disaster.

"call--"

As the attacks rained down on the city, Bianca, whose wings were fully extended and who was making every effort to defend herself, was enveloped in golden light. Then, her speed increased again, and she chased after the attacks.

Just before the attack was about to hit the city, Bianca caught up... She quickly stood in front of the city, and at the same time, two huge self-driven phantoms quietly appeared behind her.

"Boom boom boom——!!!"

Qqun：#

Then, a massive explosion and energy surge erupted in the low sky above the Great Knight Territory in an instant, creating a huge impact and sound that assaulted everyone's sight and hearing.

"Humph!"

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a cold snort suddenly rang out, and space in other directions tore apart again. This time, however, the target was no longer the city, but Bianca.

Countless attacks poured down once again, venting their master's rage.

But no matter what kind of attack Sirin launched, Bianca blocked it all steadily, ensuring that the city behind her and the people she wanted to protect were not harmed in any way.

However, compared to her previous composure and elegance, she now looks somewhat disheveled, her once smooth hair now somewhat messy from the impact.

"...Why, why! Why are you stopping me?! And is it worth it? Are these cowardly ants below worth your protection?!"

Looking at Bianca, who had withstood so many of her attacks yet still stood guard in front of the city, Sirin's golden eyes flashed as she loudly questioned her.

Sirin's question, when it reached the ears of the Grand Knights, was like a small hammer striking them awake, causing many to break out in a cold sweat.

Yes, we're complete strangers, why would Bianca protect me? What benefits do I have that's worth protecting?

Upon hearing this idea, even though Bianca had been fighting for so long to protect him, many people were still filled with fear.

They were afraid... afraid that Bianca would waver because of Sirin's words and abandon them; they were terrified of death.

however……

"It's worth it, for the people I love, for the many more people they love, for all those who can be called 'human beings'—"

"I am willing to give everything to protect them!"

Faced with Celine's questioning and "hysteria," Bianca gave her answer with a serious expression and a firm tone.

Then she changed the subject and continued: "Although I don't know if you are her or not, I don't want your hands to be stained with the blood of innocent people, no matter what...

Qqun：$

"..."

Upon hearing Bianca's reply, Sirin's expression froze on her face.

Those who had also heard Bianca's words fell into an eerie silence.

Because what the silly goose said was so unexpected and so dazzling that many people felt ashamed of themselves for a moment.

P.S.: There will be more tonight. I'll try to write as quickly as possible. I've been writing this chapter since 10:30 and haven't eaten yet.

Give it a push.

Chapter 52 Rita Losweiser

"Hahaha--"

After a brief silence, Celine suddenly covered her face and burst into laughter under everyone's gaze. Then, peeking through her fingers at Bianca with her cold, golden eyes, she said:

"Humans? Worthy? All you can say are high-sounding words. Humans, these hypocritical, filthy creatures with all sorts of despicable traits etched into their bones, have absolutely no reason to exist!"

"...I don't deny what you said, because humans do have that side. But at the same time, humans also have a kind and beautiful side and qualities."

"And I am willing to fight to protect this beautiful thing."

As she spoke, Bianca's eyes and attention remained fixed on Sirin, never wavering. At that moment, her azure eyes were filled not only with determination but also with a hint of complexity.

"Heh~ Protecting the good...? That sounds really jarring."

"If that's the case, then where were you when my mother and friends died?! Where were you when those disgusting bastards experimented on me?! This world has never been a good place—!!!"

Qqun：%

As she spoke, energy surged from Sirin's body, and she launched another terrifying attack on the city and Bianca.

"boom--"

After blocking Sirin's attack again, Bianca continued with a complicated expression, "...I'm sorry I can't help you, but I absolutely do not condone using this as a reason to harm innocent people."

"And although I couldn't protect you, I will try my best to ensure that such a thing never happens again in this world."

"A child like you!"

"...Hahaha, what if I insist on destroying them?"

Upon hearing this, Xilin burst into laughter again, but if someone were close enough, they would have noticed the fleeting look of confusion and loneliness in her golden eyes.

This time, Sirin didn't use her abilities to bypass the energy shield above the city. Instead, she mobilized all the core energy within her body and planned to unleash her final attack directly above the energy shield.

"..."

Sirin's crazy move made Bianca's pupils shrink slightly, and then she also took action.

I know exactly what kind of energy shield I created, even though it was built using the energy from the bubble inside my body.

However, there is no deep connection or continuous power supply. If no action is taken, it's only a matter of time before they are defeated by Sirin's attack.

……

Because of the sheer volume of information in Bianca and Sirin's conversation, the residents and spectators of the Great Knight Territory are much quieter now than before, as many are still reeling from the shock.

At the same time, Bianca's words, actions, and character have made many people genuinely like and admire her, and among these people are many infected individuals.

Because the phrase "For all those who can be called (human)..." left a very deep and moving impression on them.

Many infected individuals consider themselves to be human, but often the country, society, and even ordinary people have never treated them as human beings.

It's as if... once they get sick, they're no longer human...

So, for all these reasons, when Sirin launched her attack and Bianca went to meet her, someone started it... In an instant, the silence that had been created by the shock completely disappeared, replaced by...

"Bianca, keep going! We believe in you!!! At worst, we'll just die together—!"

"You are a true knight!"

"Protect yourself, defeat the enemy, Bianca—!! We are with you!"

(Whatever!) [Go, Bianca Knight! Everyone trusts you, let her witness the glory of knighthood!!!]

Witnessing this scene, Mob was filled with excitement. Something that had been hidden in his heart seemed to awaken. He no longer cared about the consequences. All he wanted to do now was support that figure.

"..."

Although the audience had cheered and encouraged them before, the meaning behind it had subtly changed, with something new that hadn't been there before, or perhaps something that had disappeared.
