Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

The driver made a remark that left the Valkyrie somewhat puzzled—

"Uh, sir, so what's the connection between these two things?"

"Have you heard the story of how poverty breeds tactical geniuses, and success brings overwhelming firepower? Those plains weren't reclaimed by us later when we expanded our agricultural areas—"

"Those were blasted out by our firepower back then. If you dig around in the field, you might find some shell casings from back then. Back then, many people would collect these shell casings to make kitchen knives and such. I have a bunch of them at home too."

"...I don't understand it, but I am deeply shocked."

The blonde, European-looking Valkyrie's expression twisted as she began to understand why her Valkyrie colleagues from China were so fond of heavy firepower equipment or weapons like guns and swords; the former was a fear of insufficient firepower, and the latter was... a cultural fascination from China, something like martial arts.

"Never mind... I hope that young lady understands what we mean..."

The Valkyrie sighed and grabbed the armrest on the mech.

"Let's go, uncle. We need to start moving. That big guy is moving towards the position."

"Speaking of which, what do you guys think of that white-haired, cat-eared Herrscher?"

The Valkyrie, hanging on the mech and accompanying the shifting of fire positions, has once again sparked a new topic of conversation.

"She's a really nice girl, all the guys in the army like her... no, those bastards fall for every pretty girl with white hair they see, a bunch of horny little rascals."

"I heard that people in China like gray hair, so it's true..."

The Valkyrie fell into deep thought, wondering if she should dye her hair white so she could find a boyfriend soon.

......

"Still haven't you been able to contact Kiana, Miss Bella?"

As the group walked through the passageway of the Divine City Medicine, Imotek looked at Benares and the Sirin doll who had followed them, while the latter shook his head vigorously.

"Emmmm... Shouldn't Herrschers and their Honkai Beast companions have a telepathic connection?"

"Could it be... that Kiana has another dragon outside?"

Imotek stroked his chin, making a malicious guess.

"...No! Kiana-sama, I'm enough for you! I can sense Kiana-sama's presence, but our connection seems to be severed by something..."

Bella, realizing that she was about to be cuckolded out of nowhere, retorted loudly.

"They're separated? That must be that little cutie's problem... They might not be in the same space or dimension as us right now..."

Imotek shook his head helplessly—

"Ugh~ I still have to do it myself... Does World Snake offer overtime pay or subsidies...?"

"Madam, we don't have such a thing..."

The gray snake, under scrutiny, considered its recent financial strain and decisively rejected the man who seemed to spend money extravagantly.

"cut--"

With no way to get the money, Imotek glared fiercely at the Witch's Night in the sky and began to consider cutting it into several large pieces.

"Never mind... Benares, go help the Valkyries and the Sky Guardians—we might run into a pervert later... and this pervert might not be a good match for you..."

As Imotek approached the entrance to the underground laboratory of Shencheng Medicine, he waved to the dragon girl who had been following him all the way.

"Huh?"

"I think when she sees a humanoid Judgment-class Honkai Beast, her first reaction wouldn't be anything else but to pin you down on the operating table and perform a biological dissection... Do you really want to meet this kind of female pervert?"

"Upon meeting you, they'll pull out a power drill and a chainsaw, pin you to an operating table, and crawl all over your body with their claws, engaging in acts comparable to sexual harassment... all while spouting jargon you can't understand?"

Before the group reached their destination, Imotek began to relentlessly criticize the jackal, though in a sense there was nothing wrong with it—

"I will definitely punch her so hard she can't take care of herself..."

Upon hearing this, Benares shuddered and raised his fist in an attack stance.

So you're coming along?

"No, no, I'd better go fight that weird-looking thing instead..."

After a brief moment of thought, Benares shook his head vigorously, then turned and vanished in a flash... leaving the gray snake standing to the side completely dumbfounded.

"Regardless of other factors... just considering the current Second Herrscher's retinue, in terms of their ability to escape... if they think about it, we'll probably never catch them in our entire lives..."

"After all, she's the fastest runner besides the Herrscher of Wind... Alright, never mind them, let's go see that sacred relic... Ah... hopefully we don't run into one of those slightly eccentric scientists from the Hu family..."

As the gray snake activated the gate's braking system and the gate slowly opened, Imotek muttered something, then prepared to walk inside.

"..."

After a brief standoff and silence, Imotek glared at the jackal that was about to emerge from the gate and broke the silence first.

"Ah...it's that crazy, eccentric scientist, Aunt Hu Hansan—"

A tic-tac-toe sign immediately appeared on the face beneath the jackal mask....

"Who are you calling brain-dead?!"

"Oh my~ You don't deny being a female pervert and an old auntie, huh? I get it—"

"Well, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said you're out of your mind—you perverted old lady!"

Clearly, Imotek is no less capable of driving someone to their death with her power than a certain doll, Sirin. Looking at the scientist before him, left hand clutching his chest, right hand pointing at the girl, seemingly about to faint...

"Grey Snake! Who is she?! Where did you find this foul-mouthed brat again?!"

"I may be rude with my words, but you, auntie, are just as rude with your actions—in terms of purity, you're definitely the better one, aren't you?"

Before the gray snake could reply, the white-haired girl spoke up again.

"you--!"

Just as the jackal was mentally calculating how many pieces he would slice the girl in front of him into, the gray snake, finally finding an opportunity to interject, spoke softly—

"Jackal..."

"Huh? You're planning to protect Gray Snake? Let me tell you—"

"This is the successor of the Lord..."

The masked jackal's incessant chatter came to an abrupt halt... Her neck stiffly turned towards Imotek, who stood before her with a mocking smile.

"Hello, you perverted old lady—"

"You...you...you..."

"I?"

"...Even if you are the successor of the Lord, you cannot insult me ​​like this!!"

"Oh? Just stating the facts—how can a villain not have the awareness of being a villain?"

"Who said that—I can admit I'm a pervert! I'm an old auntie! But you can't call me crazy!!!"

"...So that's what you're worrying about."

Imotek's lips twitched as he looked at the World Serpent's famous comedian, Unit 2; oh, Unit 1 was of course that little island Boom Crow.

"As for this question... time will tell—Ms. Jackal; I probably don't have time to discuss this with you right now..."

"Now, would you please step aside, esteemed Lady Jackal? Or perhaps lead the way? We need to retrieve the Heavenly Judgment—"

Imotek's words stunned the jackal...

"What do you want with the Lord's sacred artifact...? That thing will turn to ashes if an ordinary person uses it—Achoo!!"

The jackal had barely finished speaking when it sneezed violently from the cold.

"Look up at the sky, and then you haven't left the basement for days?"

Imotek, radiating a chilling aura, stared at the jackal before him.

"It should take about a month..."

The jackal scratched his head uncertainly, thought for a moment, then looked up at the sky—and let out a sound of shock, just like the gray snake's...

"What the hell is this???"

"Never mind what that is, we need the Heavenly Fire Judgment urgently!"

"Oh, come with me—the sacred artifact is at the very bottom of the underground laboratory..."

--

"We've drawn the target to the outskirts of the city! Are your artillery positions ready?"

"It's ready!"

"Then let's fire and blow the hell out of them—!"

A brutal and direct display of force, rooted in civilization itself: a barrage of firepower unfolded—yet the effect seemed less than anticipated...

Although the firepower was dozens of times stronger than the initial luring tactic, it seemed to only make it yell louder.

Meanwhile, Benares, flying in mid-air, imitated a certain old man, wielding a massive ball of plasma and hurling it at the monster Imotek called the Witch's Night...

"What is this...?"

Seeing the monster, its face impervious to plasma and artillery fire, only howling louder, the doll Sirin, perched on Bella's shoulder, covered her ears and complained loudly...

"We'll probably have to ask that little painter, Ms. Sirin, who's somewhere somewhere..."

Benares rolled his eyes when he saw that his attack had not caused any physical damage whatsoever.

...

"It didn't cause any real damage... but thankfully, this big guy didn't seem to have any aggressive intentions from the start..."

Looking at the wailing monsters in the sky, the Valkyrie captain, whose body was covered in flags, finally breathed a sigh of relief...

But before she could finish speaking, the giant monster changed its behavior. A huge ball of fire began to gather around it, and then, the gathered fireball flew towards the group—

"Captain, please shut up!"
