Honkai Impact

Duan Ling hesitated slightly before speaking, "It's not a classified mission. You can find out once you enter the military camp. The mission level is A: eliminate the mutated Honkai Beasts within the home planet. Our team's mission is to guard the area surrounding the research department."

"Earth needs our expeditionary force to eliminate the Honkai Beasts," Himeko said suspiciously.

Since Earth entered the era of the Pan-Human Federation, the Honkai Beasts on Earth are similar to tigers and lions in a zoo. The Honkai Beasts in the wild are regularly cleared out by the garrison. Nowadays, if research departments want to use Honkai Beasts for experiments, they sometimes have to go to the World Bubble to conduct them, because there are too few Honkai Beasts on Earth.

“I’m not very clear about the specifics either,” Duan Ling said. “Most of the expeditionary forces in the A45 world bubble have already taken action, as have those in other world bubbles. Rumor has it that a pillar-level combat force will also be arriving.”

Those who vaguely knew the inside story, like Yae Sakura, frowned, their hearts pounding with tension. Meanwhile, the completely bewildered girls thought...

"Is a new Herrscher about to descend?" Kiana raised her hand, like a child asking a question at school. "Can we go?"

"Kiana!" Theresa could no longer tolerate it. How could these brats interfere in the affairs of the Herrschers?

Theresa grabbed Kiana's braid and dragged her back, explaining to Duan Ling, "I'm sorry, this child has never been very bright."

Duan Ling: "......"

The armed girl raised her wrist, glanced at the tactical terminal, and looked up, saying, "Sir, I need to get to the mission location immediately."

"Alright, the mission is important, be careful." Ji Zi patted Duan Ling on the shoulder, and after Duan Ling saluted again, she led her team away at a jog.

hum~

Spatial fluctuations emanated one after another from the teleportation chamber, and squads of armed men filed out in succession. Their sheer number and high quality gave everyone present a sense of something extraordinary.

If a Herrscher were to descend... wouldn't it be enough to have pillar-level combat power at the top? Even if each of these armed girls has an S rating, it would still be no easy task for them to step onto the Herrscher battlefield.

"Please proceed to Teleportation Room One to prepare," the AI ​​urged again.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat eerie. Everyone present was intelligent and had already gleaned the information they wanted from the subtle clues revealed by various parties.

"When will the third batch of personnel leave?" Yae Sakura couldn't suppress the guilt deep in her heart and asked AI.

Sorry, you do not have sufficient permissions.

“Vera!” Yae Sakura looked at her niece, a very important figure in Destiny.

"Aunt, according to preliminary calculations, the third evacuation will be completed within ten days."

Thinking of Rin's urgent urging, Yae Sakura shook her head and said, "No, it's too late."

"What do you mean?" Himeko asked, frowning.

“I’m not entirely sure about the specifics either,” Yae Sakura replied. “As you can probably guess, Earth has been affected by some uncontrollable factors, and a group of people need to be evacuated to World Bubble.”

"Force majeure, how serious is it?" Siola's expression turned serious.

"I don't know."

"Therefore, we were among the first to be evacuated."

"What will happen to the children at St. Freya Academy?"

"With so many S-rank Valkyries going, how serious must things be?"

"I suggest we head to A45 World Bubble immediately. You are all among the first batch of personnel selected by the AI. The longer we delay, the longer it will take for the rear to evacuate!"

"Hmm~" Yae Sakura shook her head. In just half a day, she had been suffering in her heart. She couldn't bear it any longer. "You guys go first. I'm going to St. Freya."

Holding the Frost Prison Ice Sky sword, Sakura followed quietly, having promised Rin that she would take good care of her other "self".

After their older sister left, Ling and Himeko quickly followed.

"Hey!" Theresa, carrying Judah on her back, hurriedly followed. "I'm the headmistress! Yae-sensei, slow down! How can a teacher go and the headmistress not go?"

Himeko slapped her forehead and sighed, "What a waste of this annual leave." Then she strode off after him.

"Auntie! Wait for me!"

"Kiana!" Mei looked at Siola, her eyes pleading.

"Phew~" Siola said speechlessly, "They're all such a handful. Go and try it out, see how much of your Herrscher of Thunder power you've really mastered. With those guys around, I'm sure nothing unexpected will happen."

Mei nodded firmly and transformed into a bolt of lightning, flashing towards the exit.

Bronya glanced at Walter.

"What are you looking at me for?" Walter shrugged. "If you want to go, do you think I'll stop you?"

Bronya gave the dejected man, who could be considered her teacher, a deep look. Then, her heavily armored bunny appeared behind her, and she chased after the direction in which the others had disappeared.

“Aren’t you worried at all?” Ciora crossed her arms and looked at Walter with a half-smile.

“Aren’t you the same?” Walter’s gaze shifted to Vera. “The truly important people aren’t in a hurry, so what’s the use of us being anxious?”

Vera chuckled and said to the AI, "Start the next evacuation immediately."

"Received, command activated."

At this moment, Vera exuded a gentle demeanor, not at all like the behind-the-scenes boss of a giant corporation that controls numerous strategic resources.

She looked at Walter and the other person and smiled, "Don't worry, I have informed Sue, and he will send a message to Lady Sirin to keep a certain spatial passage open for us."

“Look,” Siola said, raising an eyebrow, “it’s just a matter of a word for someone with power and influence.”

“Then let’s go help too.” Walter narrowed his eyes. “That person’s sister is on the battlefield. It would be a bit unreasonable for us not to go.”

. . .

outside world.

Yae Sakura looked up at the sky, which was shrouded in mist, filled with a grayish-purple hue, eerily resembling a gateway to another world.

Anxiety deepened in her heart as she sensed powerful squads of Valkyries emerging from the spatial passage and dispersing in all directions.

Not far away, Himeko waved her hand, "I've summoned a super-fast fighter jet bound for St. Freya Academy. Anyone want to experience it?"

St. Freya Academy.

The girls, who were preparing to head to the practical assessment site, looked up at the sky one by one, occasionally pointing and commenting on fate.

The academy's management attempted to contact the Church of Destiny to inquire about the cause of the gray-purple mist.

Although there was no ultra-high-energy Honkai energy reaction in the fog, it gave people an uneasy feeling of panic, as if they would be swallowed up by the towering fog at any moment!

hold head high--!

A deafening roar shattered the glass in the academy, and the girls who covered their ears could vaguely see endless beast shadows behind the mist.

......

Chapter Seventeen: The Next Pillar of Human Civilization

"How about it?"

Inside the conference room of St. Freya Academy, the academy's senior officials watched the projection in the center with tension.

[Communication connection failed to be established]

The answer provided by the terminal intelligence left them deeply disappointed.

"What's going on with that fog? Have there been any drills or forecasts recently?"

"No, those fogs are extremely strange. Once the Honkai energy detector is activated, the instrument will immediately malfunction and be unable to complete the detection mission."

"Where is the Honkai Energy Suppressor?"

"The eruption order has been given, but... that thing doesn't seem to be simple Honkai energy."

The middle-aged woman sitting in the main seat had a solemn expression on her face. "Let's try to establish communication with the stationed troops again."

"hold head high--!"

Crackle~

The terrifying roar from a great distance shattered the glass. Fortunately, there were no ordinary people teaching at St. Freya Academy, otherwise, a single roar would have been enough to rupture eardrums and cause someone to fall into a deep coma.

"Get the students into the shelter first!"

The woman roared, releasing an astonishing wave of Honkai energy from her body, with the power of fire element manifesting around her.

Buzz~ Buzz~

An alarm sounded at the school, and the students rushed to the nearest shelter.

Why can't I open the shelter?

A group of anxious students had gathered at the entrance to a basement.

"Most electronic devices are malfunctioning. Turn them on manually!"

"What exactly is going on...?"

The hazy beastly figure in the far distance was exceptionally exaggerated; even an emperor-level size would be insignificant in its presence. The monsters formed from gray-purple mist around it exhibited a faint Honkai reaction, yet they were different from traditional Honkai beasts.

An eerie atmosphere weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. Even those with strong minds who had undergone consciousness sequencing could only barely suppress the fear that kept surging within them.

If St. Freya Academy, renowned for its training of Valkyries, is in such a state, the town that relies on the academy for survival is in even greater chaos.

Many people, affected by the aura, knelt on the ground in a daze, muttering in a language that did not belong to this world, as if they were welcoming the arrival of some great being.

high altitude.

The fighter jet's display showed dozens of malfunction alarms, which angered Himeko so much that she slammed her fist on the control panel, instantly sending sparks flying and thick white smoke billowing up.

"The grayish-purple mist is strange; electronic devices are temporarily unusable." Himeko stood up and adjusted her personal terminal. The projection would occasionally pop up, displaying a jumble of garbled characters. The only thing that was still functioning properly on everyone was their bio-eyes.

"The Heavy Bunny is working perfectly." Bronya stood up slightly, and the faint phantom of a mechanical monster appeared behind her.

Himeko's eyes lit up. "Bronya, can the Heavy Bunny carry the fighter jet?"

“Okay.” Bronya nodded.

“That’s too slow.” Sitting in a chair with her legs crossed, Shiora nodded and said, “Mei, it’s up to you.”

"Yes, senior."

Mei unbuckled her seatbelt and stood up, with more and more electric snakes leaping around her body.

"Please relax your defenses for a moment. I will now connect the fighter jets to the electromagnetic field."

"Wow~ That sounds so cool." Kiana, who struggles with academic subjects, didn't understand much, but she still thought her friend was amazing.

Sakura and the others relaxed their stances. With their powerful senses, they could vaguely perceive changes in the electromagnetic field, as if some inexplicable force was guiding their fighter jets.
