Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Ah...isn't this what you do best, Mother?"

"What do you mean by 'what I'm best at'? What did Otto tell you?!"

"Hmm... Kallen the Phantom Thief?"

Chapter 312 Thank you, Miss Ling, for the free gift, Miss Ying.

In the dark underground passageway of the St. Freya College Chapel.

"When did this door appear... and when did they change the password...??"

Snow Apocalypse and Karen Kaslana, who had practically burst through the door, tossed the heavy door—a reinforced steel door seemingly designed to deter someone—behind them. Inside the storage room lay a long, slender, black-and-red katana, lying silently.

Seemingly sensing their arrival, the katana in front of her began to vibrate, and a strange, angry voice began its incessant muttering in the small, confined room—

"I, the Herrscher of Corruption! Imprisoned in this wretched vessel for fifty thousand years!!! Banished from my own homeland—now!! You dare trespass into my territory, you are courting death—!!!"

The booming noise in the small room made the two of them frown.

"If you keep babbling, I'll take you to unclog public toilets—"

The blonde girl, nearly deafened by the yelling, immediately retorted, silencing the nearly suffocating Herrscher of Corruption, Ms. Ling.

"Do you know how I've spent these 50,000 years? Every day I've been...!"

Undeterred, Jizo Mitama changed her approach, intending to continue babbling to the two people in front of her. However, her voice suddenly stopped, as if she had gotten stuck.

What do you do every day?

Then Karen, very curious, asked another question...

"Uh...sleep??"

However, the two of them simply said "oh" and then ignored the chatterbox who had been holding back for 50,000 years and continued to ramble on and on—but the latter seemed unaware that he was being ignored and continued to chatter on and on.

Finally, unable to bear her constant complaining any longer, Kallen Kaslana decided to strike up a conversation in order to at least change the subject of this chatterbox-like Herrscher's chatter.

"Hey, Herrscher of Corruption? Miss Ling? You're such a chatterbox—"

"You know what I'm doing... Huh? What do you want from me? Don't interrupt me. Don't you know that's impolite???"

"Uh, I'm really sorry—I just wanted to ask you something...?"

"Ask me something? You want to ask me, a poor Herrscher who's slept for 50,000 years and suffers from intermittent insomnia, what business is it of yours???"

The sound of the bell was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"You remember when I brought you out of Schicksal's underground facility?"

"Oh, that's why you look so familiar—you're Karen, right? You're really fast; those people chattering away behind you, but none of them could catch up..."

"Yes, yes, my name is Karen. Do you remember when I took you to a certain island nation in the Far East?"

"Huh? Oh, that? I remember... You don't mean you want to ask about the whereabouts of that pink-haired fox spirit who looks a lot like my sister, do you? Don't you already have a fiancé?"

"My best friend, my best friend! It doesn't conflict with my fiancé—"

"People of your generation are so strange... Best friends can actually strip naked and sleep in the same bed together..."

“…”

Karen suddenly regretted changing the subject—

"Your shrine maiden best friend, Yae Sakura, broke free from the seal during the Third Honkai Impact 500 years later and saved a little girl—I don't know if she's your descendant or something. Anyway, that little dwarf smells a lot like you—she was poisoned by some pseudo-Herrscher. That stupid woman doesn't know any of those fancy tricks..."

"She chose the most brutal method: fighting fire with fire. What's that saying again? To defeat a pseudo-Herrscher with a pseudo-Herrscher... She transformed herself into a Stigmata and merged into that shorty's body, and I was picked up by that shorty—"

"You're such a shorty... I wonder if the headmaster even used you to unclog toilets...?"

"I wouldn't say that to her face—to her, I'm just a weird katana that I woke up to find beside her."

"And weren't you here to take me away?! I need to see my sister, right now—!! Besides, the alarm's already going off, are you planning to be surrounded by all the students in this academy???"

Just as the Herrscher of Corruption had said, from the moment the two physically broke through the door, the alarm throughout the basement had already resounded throughout the entire academy—

"Mom—Miss Karen, the amazing phantom thief, have you ever been caught stealing?!"

"No--"

Suddenly excited, Karen pulled out a mask from somewhere and put it on her face.

"What a coincidence, I don't have any either—"

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, grabbed the Corrosion Key from the table in the secret chamber, ignored Ling's loud protests as a "sword spirit," and charged at high speed toward the door in the distance, where figures seemed to be already flickering—

"Hey, you guys need to be a little gentler—I get carsick, oops, no, I get airsick...oops, oops, no... anyway, don't rush so fast!"

Inside the Divine Key, there was no level or gyroscope to stabilize their vision; they could only protest as the bell swayed up and down with their movements, as they were led out of St. Freya's Cathedral.

"You criminals ahead, immediately cease your resistance and attempt to escape! You are surrounded! Resist and you will be severely punished; confess and you will be treated leniently!"

When the mother and daughter emerged from the cathedral's dark underground passage, this was the scene they saw from outside the cathedral doors—the Valkyrie trainees, having heard there was something to do, swarmed out of the teaching building and surrounded the cathedral entrance, with several leading Valkyries loudly issuing warnings through megaphones.

"...Wow, you look like you're surrounded. Are you going to surrender? They say resistance will be punished severely, and confession will be treated leniently."

Having recovered from the bumpy ride, Ling continued chattering away at them, seemingly enjoying the spectacle.

"Surrender? No way... Little Bell, the saying 'resistance is punished severely, confession is treated leniently' has another meaning when reversed: 'Resistance is punished severely, you can go home for the New Year... Confession is treated leniently, you'll rot in jail—'"

"Come on, Lingbao, give them a real shock—activate your second transformation form!!"

"Hey hey hey??? This isn't a good look... and that samurai doll doesn't look like a girl at all—"

The bell inside the Divine Key seemed to hesitate slightly—

"What are you afraid of—this facility of destiny is all my family's property. Just tear this church down!! I'll figure out the rest—"

"...Let's get this straight first, I won't compensate for any building damage!"

"I won't ask you for compensation—"

[Just have your sister pay for it...it'll be perfect for getting a matching fox to take to Destiny—I wonder what Dad's expression will be.]

Of course, Snow kept these words to himself and never said them aloud.

"Then I'll get started... Damn—let's go! Ignore this!"

Chapter 313 Where's my adopted daughter? I have no idea!

A giant samurai figure, or in a sense, a Gundam, lifted the roof of St. Freya Cathedral, the most expensive building in St. Freya Academy.

Amidst the horrified expressions of the Valkyrie trainees and resident Valkyrie squad, the giant masked warrior with the cathedral spire on his head grabbed the mask, put it on his head, and awkwardly waved to the Valkyries below from the cathedral rooftop.

"I don't have the money to fix that for you—"

The sound produced by the transformation of the heavy armor was transformed into a deep, magnetic, and gender-neutral voice.

Although the enormous Far Eastern warrior figure in front of them looked very handsome, and his voice sounded calm and steady, the tone of his voice revealed a certain naivety to the Valkyries surrounding the church.

The Valkyries of St. Freya exchanged glances, seemingly confirming something, and unanimously aimed their weapons at the enormous "Gundam" in front of them.

"Wow—don't do this! I'll put it back, please put it back, okay?!"

Young Miss Ling had never seen anything like this before, confronting a large group of armed people. She panicked immediately.

He grabbed the church roof he was holding and slammed it against the already tattered church behind him, as if he was worried it wouldn't stick back together, using a lot of force.

"Oh, shit—"

The commander leading St. Freya's side was an A-rank Valkyrie born in the Far East. When she saw the enormous, clumsy iron figure in front of her lifting the church roof, she sensed something was wrong.

However, before she could even utter a word to stop him, this idiot in front of her did something that made her heart and lungs stop. Accompanied by a resounding tremor that echoed throughout St. Freya, the once magnificent cathedral was reduced to rubble in an instant.

"You son of a bitch, you little brats—beat it up!!"

Finally, the commander, unable to hold back any longer, issued the order to take down this idiot in front of him.

"Outrageous... but not extremely outrageous—"

The two people, who were secretly hanging their tickets on the armor behind the Jizo-myoji, couldn't help but click their tongues as they looked at the cathedral shrouded in smoke and dust behind them.

"As the Holy Maiden of Schicksal, watching a Schicksal Cathedral being smashed to pieces by a Herrscher is truly... uh, strange?"

Karen looked down at the church that had been smashed to pieces and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Especially since this goofy Herrscher didn't actually want to finish off the enemy—"

Snow nodded solemnly, watching as the compensation his sister would have to pay was super-doubled—no, it should be increased in this way—and inwardly cried out—

【You did a great job, Shi Bao! You did a great job!】

"Anyway, this is her older sister's fault—it has nothing to do with us. We are just innocent passersby who are like those who carry toilet pegs when the train problem occurs."

The blonde girl standing on the Jizo-myoji shoulder armor kicked the samurai doll at her feet, deciding to add another item to this exorbitant bill.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you still just taking the beating one-sidedly?"

"Commander, Miss Ling—According to reliable intelligence, all the Valkyries from St. Freya Academy are now gathered here. Immediately launch an assault on their dormitory to the right...that's their weakest point!"

"Uh...walk over there?"

Ling confirmed it in a low voice.

"What are you thinking... Of course, you're going to crash into it! The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. You want to compete with these Valkyries who have been studying, interning, and even working here to see who knows more shortcuts—"

"Those houses at Chuangfei—Jizo Mitama!"

As the words fell, the Herrscher of Corruption, Ms. Rin, reacting quickly, manipulated her giant samurai form and launched a savage charge towards the distant dormitory area—

The roadside trees were swatted away by the samurai, and the buildings blocking the way were split in half by the enlarged version of the Twelfth Divine Key held by the humanoid figure. The black and red humanoid Gundam, or rather, the humanoid bulldozer, ravaged the dormitory area of ​​St. Freya Academy, and charged towards the vast primeval forest outside the academy.

As Snow Apocalypse watched the buildings being destroyed and collapsing, he could almost hear the huge sums of money coming in from the insurance companies.

At this moment, in the eyes of the future Archbishop of Destiny, Snow Apocalypse, this was not some messy ruins, but a perfectly constructed villa community dormitory that was about to be built.

Unfortunately, I can no longer command the Herrscher of Corruption beside me, who is unaware of how much of a hindrance she has caused to her sister and some unknown insurance company, to renovate the teaching area.

That would make the purpose all too obvious—

"So, ladies, where are we going next—?"

"Once we're inside that vast primeval forest, we'll get rid of this state and we'll go in and become Viet Cong!"

"Huh? What are the Viet Cong—?"
