Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

This is the third layer of message propagation.

"Pass it on! Theresa has a mother!"

This is... this is a message that's been passed down from who-knows-which level.

...

The Valkyries below, unaware of the truth and already wildly gossiping and speculating, are about to conjure up a whole romantic storyline in their minds—

During a secret trip, the young Destiny heir encountered a member of Anti-Entropy on a mission. The naive princess of Destiny fell in love at first sight with the young man who looked to be not much older than herself.

The young man was on his way to carry out a mission. Although he caught a glimpse of the young master's face in his haste, which made his heart flutter, he suppressed his budding feelings due to the importance of the mission and turned away.

However, at the end of the street corner, the young man from Anti-Entropy couldn't help but turn around and glance at the young master of destiny. Immediately, the eyes of the two young people, just beginning to experience love, met.

The young man from Anti-Entropy's infiltration mission went smoothly, but an accident occurred during the evacuation. His whereabouts were discovered by a team of Valkyries patrolling headquarters, and the Valkyrie squad immediately opened fire upon discovering the unidentified man.

The wounded man, relying on his willpower and the training he received at Anti-Entropy, temporarily shook off the pursuers and escaped to an exquisite villa in the headquarters. He broke into the girl's boudoir and finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

When the young lady returned home after a day of studying, she was surprised to see the young man in her boudoir. Upon discovering the intruder, she did not immediately call for servants. The girl realized that this was the same young man she had seen during the day.

The girl, overcome with emotion, kept everything a secret. She found a first-aid kit, bandaged the man's wounds, and sent the patrol away, quietly waiting for him to wake up.

The subsequent plot unfolds much like the popular novels in the Destiny Valkyrie series—the young protagonist and the young man from Anti-Entropy spark a romance, and right under Archbishop Otto's nose, his beloved is snatched away.

However, the young man was ultimately a member of Anti-Entropy and would have to leave the girl sooner or later. On the night of their parting, the girl and the young man couldn't resist each other and ended up in bed, sparking a flame of love. Before leaving, the young man promised the girl that he would marry her in a legitimate and honorable way.

"...Boring." The blonde woman on the throne gave her assessment, but her slightly trembling hand betrayed the unease within her.

"At the end of the story, the girl was surprised to find that she had become pregnant with the young man's child. As time went by, the girl could no longer hide the truth and took advantage of her father's recent busy schedule to leave the headquarters and give birth to the child in her womb."

"...It's a cliché plot. My dad isn't blind... If he really does that, Anti-Entropy will have to merge back into Destiny tomorrow. And he still wants to come back and marry me???"

"When crafting a story, you should consider the actual situation—!"

As Fokine recounted the events aboard the Hermes, Snow's blood pressure started to rise—it rose!

"Uh... My lord, calm down, the story gets even more outrageous..."

The silver-haired girl wiped away her cold sweat and began to wonder if it was a good idea to tell this outrageous story to her master.

"The bishop finally realized something was wrong with the child and the much thinner girl. The enraged bishop locked the girl in solitary confinement, but out of compassion for the young new life, the bishop of destiny did not mistreat the baby, but instead took good care of her."

"After repeated pleas from the maid beside the girl, the bishop finally relented and released her. The maid then brought the girl heartbreaking news—the young man had died protecting his friend in a confrontation with fate."

"The heartbroken girl, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, left Destiny and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people—while the bishop, grieving the loss of his beloved daughter, after years of fruitless searching, turned his attention to the bloodline she left behind..."

"Theresa, right? Are these Valkyries being fed too well??? As for Anti-Entropy, I know who it is even with my eyes closed, Walter Joyce, right? Is the Dragon King's return about to take place??? Also, one is blonde and the other is indigo, how do you mix colors to create a white-haired one???"

"My lord, please calm down..."

"Years have passed, and the child has grown up. She bid farewell to the bishop who claimed to be her grandfather and came to the Far East to establish her own branch, while secretly investigating the whereabouts of her parents."

Unbeknownst to her, her mother, upon learning of her daughter's arrival in the Far East, had also secretly infiltrated the academy to keep an eye on her—

"This kind of life continued until the child's descendants were taken away, and the mother's proxy appeared in front of the child at this moment, telling her about her background - a variety of factors intertwined and entangled, which led the child to make the decision to rebel, and she wanted to confront her grandfather herself."

"Just as the children were marching toward the Schicksal headquarters, they encountered resistance... A large number of Honkai Beasts were converging on the headquarters because of the bishop's experiment, and they ran right into them. Just when they were about to be in dire straits, the girl's father, whom she believed should have died long ago, appeared in front of her."

"The young man, now the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, casually annihilated the Honkai Beasts surrounding the warship and stood before the girl—"

"Ignoring other factors... my lord, I think this story is alright?"

"....my lord?"

Confused at receiving no response, Fokin turned his head to look at his revered god.

"—The day of wrath, the end; heaven and earth, and all things, will be burned to ashes..."

"Just as David and Sibylla prophesied, shattering and decaying, what a terrifying tremor is about to begin—the day the Judge comes...no one will be spared his cruel judgment and annihilation—!"

"Holy crap—my lord, calm down!"

The silver-haired girl decisively jumped onto Snow, firmly pressing down on the hands of the blonde girl, whose blood pressure had already skyrocketed, as she held the Demon Sword Leivadin and the Spear of Eternity.

This is Fokin. Today, Fokin saved human civilization—say thank you, Fokin!

Chapter 156 Sometimes, a Daughter-Obsessed Person Is Like This.jpg

While Fokin was frantically trying to bring the God of the Throne back down after his blood pressure exploded, the people on the Hermes weren't much better off.

Walter Joyce was relieved that the Valkyries on this warship didn't seem as enthusiastic as those at St. Freya Academy, but he was also a little curious—why did these Valkyries start giving him a strange look from the very beginning, and then hide in the distance to whisper to him?

The first leader of the alliance, somewhat annoyed that the message transmitted from the bridge had been distorted, scratched his head and complained:

"Young people these days are really strange..."

Shaking his head, Joyce continued walking towards the bridge. The Alliance Leader, who had just rested for a short while, received an invitation from Theresa to discuss something that the Academy Dean had described as extremely important.

...

"I've arrived... And this lady is?"

The First Herrscher opened the bridge gate and looked at the purple-haired girl who had appeared before her.

"So this is the Welt of this world... Seeing is believing—he's actually quite pleasing to the eye, much better than that freak I knew..."

Jiu Xiao muttered something to himself, then extended his hand to the young man in front of him and introduced himself.

"Alliance Leader Walter Joyce, I am Penglai Temple Nine Heavens, the current acting captain of the Divine Authority Squad."

"Ah, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Jiuxiao."

Joyce reached out and grasped Jiuxiao's hand. The moment they touched, Jiuxiao, without changing his expression, drew an "S" with his index finger on the young man's palm. Joyce was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of sudden realization before quickly retracting his gesture.

【"S"——Snow; Snow】

"Ahem, well then, let me explain. We're currently twelve nautical miles from the Third Airport of Destiny. The Destiny Sky Island headquarters is functionally divided into two main sections—"

After clearing his throat, Jiuxiao began to speak—

"As the central bishop's office, the heart of the Holy City, and the location of most of the divine mandate's working departments, this area is..."

"And the two poles that diverge from the center of the bishop's office—the western pole representing the Department of Destiny Stigmata and Human Biology Research, and the eastern pole representing the Department of Destiny Weapons, Valkyrie Armor, and Destiny Divine Machines Research and the Foundry Industrial Zone."

"The Heavenly Mandate has a total of six major airports, three each at the eastern and western poles. The third airport we need to seize is located at the eastern pole, where we have a natural advantage—"

“The Mandate of Heaven does not exist—and this struggle is particularly severe in the research departments of headquarters. Due to historical factors, the current Bishop Otto Apocalypse is more inclined to inject funds into the biological department. Although there has been some improvement in recent years, it has not been much better.”

"In private, the researchers who developed these weapons and mecha technologies often cursed the researchers in the Western Research Department as beasts who grew up eating human blood buns."

"In other words, thanks to the Far East Branch's philosophy that Dean Theresa has always upheld—we have a natural affinity for these researchers, which might have been suppressed before due to Bishop Otto's presence."

"After we completely expose Snow's existence to the public, some of the Destiny will turn to us. Of course, there will also be those who are biased towards that bishop himself, after all, that bishop has maintained a good public image."

"And we don't need to expose all his secrets. He's still family to some extent, so we have to give our father-in-law some face."

At this point, Jiuxiao turned his head away under everyone's gaze and whistled.

"Ahem, our fundamental goal is to peacefully evolve into a second destiny. If we were to dig out all of that old man's dirty laundry—"

"Peaceful evolution is about to turn into a civil war—as the world's largest organization fighting against Honkai, Destiny can split, but it must never truly erupt into civil war—"

"Joyce, the leader of Anti-Entropy, should also understand this—Anti-Entropy is currently unable to take over and handle global collapse events during the internal turmoil of Destiny."

The First Herrscher nodded in deep agreement. Although Anti-Entropy had absorbed many talents in its more than fifty years of development, it had also infiltrated many scoundrels. How could Anti-Entropy be managed well when surrounded by these scoundrels?

“But Jiuxiao, we’re gambling…gambling that Grandpa will delegate power to Snow…and most of the people in Destiny don’t even know Snow.”

Theresa seemed to remember something and reminded the purple-haired girl.

"There's absolutely no need to worry about that... Dividing the existing destiny in two won't affect Bishop Otto's own plans—"

"Or I can boldly predict (spoiler), even if we don't do this, in the near future, when that bishop's plan is almost complete—he will still pass the position of bishop to Snow or Theresa."

"And the rest of the Destiny organization actually don't need to care even more—besides its foundation, Destiny has left behind centuries of tradition—the old fogies of various Destiny families on the council basically share a common understanding: the council members can be all sorts of people. They can even have the surname Walter and the given name Joyce..."

"However, the bishop of destiny, the supreme ruler, must be named Apocalypse, and can only be named Apocalypse."

"Some old-fashioned people might even openly jump out to support this chosen young master—after all, his great-great-grandfather favored Otto, his great-grandfather favored Otto, his grandfather favored Otto, his own father favored Otto, and in his own generation, they still favored Otto... Anyone would be annoyed."

"Pretty girls aren't prettier than men, cough cough cough—"

"Let's get down to business, Jiuxiao! Be serious."

"Alright, alright, let's get serious—the massive institution of Destiny, thanks to the planning and adjustments made by that archbishop over the past five hundred years, was able to operate independently for a long time even after he left. In a sense, he was indeed a very responsible archbishop."

"It's just that we might not like him very much... After all, we are, in a sense, on the opposite side of him."

"For example, Leader Joyce... that bishop... has always considered you a friend...?"

Thinking of something, Jiuxiao said to the indigo-haired youth beside him.

"Forget it, the friends who are being bombed with Honkai Fission Bombs... can't withstand it, can't withstand it."

Joyce promptly rolled her eyes.

"These are all sufficient conditions, Jiuxiao, so what about the necessary conditions?"

Theresa looked up at the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple.

"A necessary condition... that Bishop Otto Apocalypse... in a sense, is an incurable doting father—"

"Dean...you know what I mean, right?"

Chapter 157 Destiny Airport

The Far East Branch Air Fleet is three nautical miles from the third airport of the Destiny Headquarters.

All crew members on the assault ship USS Nibelungen and the transport ship USS Hermes were placed on high alert.

“Mr. Joyce, thank you for providing the Titan mech.”

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao watched as the Nibelungen's once empty hangar was now filled with a large number of tactical mechs, which would serve as the main backbone of the Far East Branch's defense in the early stages of the Destiny Headquarters' establishment, given the shortage of manpower.

"I've set all these Titans to auto-mode by default, and I also got a remote operation manual from Ai Yin."

"I'll take a pilot's manual too... But honestly, piloting a Titan mech is probably not as good as you guys jumping out and fighting yourselves, right?"

Joyce scratched her head, a little uncertain.

"Theoretically speaking, that's true... However... a large portion of the students in the Far East Branch come from that island nation."

"Back then, Anti-Entropy produced all its mecha anime to raise research funds, and they were very popular in that country—the kind that appealed to men, women, young and old alike. So... excluding the Divine Authority Squad, which is a unit drawn from all over the world, the Valkyries on the Hermes might want to give it a try?"
