Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

Perhaps it was these cold little hands that brought a sense of coolness to the girl, and her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

But this time, the green-haired Valkyrie heard another voice calling her in her dream—

【My kings on earth...come forward—you will be crowned.】

Chapter 103 Just pretend I was never here.jpg

"This is a tree," Wendy thought, looking at the giant tree that was partially hidden in the sea of ​​clouds. At this moment, she was walking on the treetop above the clouds, and in the distance, a magnificent palace stood there.

"At the top of the giant tree, a magnificent palace... uh, this is... Asgard?"

Wendy recalled that a long time ago, during Valkyrie's cultural studies class, Norse mythology was mentioned, which was also the origin of the name Valkyrie. Many of the advanced weapons of Schicksal Headquarters were also named after Norse mythology.

"Come here, my apostles, my heirs...receive my gift..."

That clear, cold female voice once again echoed in the distant palace, calling out to the girl who had entered this place, waiting for her arrival.

"Hmph... Changing tactics, huh? Honkai!"

The green-haired Valkyrie seemed unfazed by what she saw, believing it to be some kind of trick from the Honkai. But—humans are creatures driven by curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. Her legs, restored in the dream, followed the girl's curiosity, leading her toward the magnificent palace.

"Just one look, just one look... Asgard from mythology... even the Bishop of Destiny probably hasn't seen it before..."

The girl muttered to herself as she walked toward the palace, taking in the magnificent, golden buildings along the way.

Everything here was quiet; there was no life in the magnificent streets and buildings. After that call, the world returned to silence once more.

"Uh, so it really is a scam... There's not a single person here. If you're going to fool people, at least make it look convincing! You have no sincerity at all."

The green-haired girl pouted in dissatisfaction.

In the distant palace, the blonde woman sitting on the throne heard Wendy's words, raised her eyebrows, and snapped her fingers in the direction of the green-haired girl.

"As you wish—my apostle."

The cold, clear voice rang out again in the air.

As soon as the words left her lips... the next moment, the street leading to the palace was teeming with people. The sheer number of people was so overwhelming that Wendy completely lost her sense of direction, getting jostled and pushed around in the crowd, utterly bewildered.

...

"...Tsk, what a petty god. I just complained...and now so many people are crowding me."

Wendy, who had been pushed to some unknown place, stared at the crowd and complained quietly, afraid that the mysterious voice would hear her again.

"Why should others criticize my dreams?" Wendy pouted unhappily, puffing out her cheeks.

"Come forward, my apostle—" This time, a clear yet resonant voice rang out behind her.

"Wow—!" The girl was startled by the sudden sound behind her, stumbled forward, and turned to look behind her. She realized that the bustling crowd had somehow pushed her to the front of the golden palace.

The loud voice came from the main hall—

"Tch, all mysterious. I'll beat you up as soon as I get in!" Startled, Wendy, now emboldened, rolled up her sleeves and stormed into the palace, ready to give the master of the hall a beating.

The magnificent hall was constructed of gold and black, with a glass-like material shimmering with golden light covering the floor. At the far end of the palace, a blonde girl sat on a throne, her half-open blue eyes observing with interest the green-haired Valkyrie who had brazenly barged into the palace. A golden spear rested flat on the girl's lap.

Seeing the figure on the throne, Wendy, who had suddenly calmed down, broke out in a cold sweat.

【Wendy, Wendy, why did you suddenly act so impulsively...? She has a long spear, long enough to pierce through at least nine of you...】

The green-haired Valkyrie, who had originally planned to storm into the hall and give the voice's owner a good beating, now had second thoughts. Wendy watched as the sharp golden spear slowly retreated step by step, intending to slip out of the hall.

"Why leave... Come forward, my apostle, I have the authority to give you."

Resting his chin on his left fist, the golden-haired god watched with interest as the Valkyrie made her attempt to slip away.

"Um... let's make a deal... you know, that..."

Wendy looked at the woman in front of her, who appeared to be almost the same age as her, and stammered slightly...

"Oh—? That?" The blonde girl on the throne looked even more amused as she watched the green-haired Valkyrie in front of her move towards the door.

"That's it! Boss, just pretend I was never here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wendy stopped trying to hide her little actions, turned around and ran away—thanks to the restoration of her legs in the dream, Wendy felt as if she had returned to the time when she was an apprentice Valkyrie, when she always won first place in training events such as marching, hiking and cross-country running.

And at this moment, she also had this confidence—as long as I run fast enough, disaster will always come a step too late! Besides... with such a supreme and noble status sitting on the throne, she couldn't possibly lower herself to chase after him with a spear, could she?

These big shots must care about their image, right? ...The fact that they personally chased after me and dragged me back...no, to argue with an ordinary Valkyrie like me would be beneath them.

But the girl seemed to have forgotten one thing... Such a distinguished and noble person always has his own servants or agents... and she herself was not a nobody—the figure on the throne had already recognized her as his apostle from the very beginning.

"Wu Ni—go and bring her back..."

A helpless voice echoed in the hall behind Wendy...

[Huh? There's someone else here? Wait...wow...isn't that Odin's bird?! Why would I panic over just one bird?]

Upon first hearing that others were present in this space, the green-haired girl panicked for a moment, staggering a few steps. After calming down and briefly considering her options, she realized she had the upper hand and continued running with her head down...

Inside the golden palace, at the call of the blonde girl, the silver-haired girl who had been in Wendy's room appeared beside Snow.

"...My lord, is it all over?" Wuni seemed a little confused. After sending the green-haired girl to her master's divine kingdom, she had been secretly eating snacks in Wendy's room until her master summoned her.

“No one’s gone. Catch her back and don’t let her wander around Asgard. I haven’t finished building this place yet. Be careful she doesn’t fall down.”

Snow rubbed his temples and gave orders to his apostles.

Chapter 104 Forced Purchase and Sale

The green-haired girl weaved against the flow of the crowd. The crowd that had been created earlier hadn't disappeared; instead, it continued to obstruct her. Driven to desperation, Wendy leaped onto walls and bounded between rooftops—

Wendy stopped in her tracks atop a clock tower, where a silver-haired, red-eyed girl in a black feathered dress floated in the air, blocking her path.

With a sour face, Wuni glared at the Valkyrie running around in front of her, while the green-haired girl in front of her looked at the mysterious silver-haired girl who seemed to have nothing in her hand, and her courage suddenly returned. She glared back defiantly.

"What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen Valkyrie of Destiny before... Get out of the way, I'm in a hurry to run away!" Blocked in her way, Wendy lost her usual composure in her haste and rushed over, intending to bypass the silver-haired girl, only to be stopped again as expected.

The Valkyrie, exasperated and helpless, stared at the silver-haired girl before her, utterly perplexed.

"—Say something... wait, who are you...?"

“My name is Wuni, the eyes and ears of the venerable god, the apostle of the divine lord, the king of [Memory]—the chosen one. Please come back with me, Lord Euthinus wants to see you.”

A haughty voice came from the silver-haired girl as she gave orders to the green-haired Valkyrie.

Then, Wendy's words completely broke Miss Wuni's defenses...

"Oh, Wuni, isn't that Odin's bird... So you're a birdman?"

Wendy's interest was immediately piqued when she saw the silver-haired girl in front of her.

"Bird...bird...birdman?! Even if you have been chosen by the revered god, that is not something you can rely on to humiliate me!"

Enraged, gray mist surged from Wuni's black feathered robe, eventually coalescing into a silver hammer which the girl grasped in her hand.

"Huh? Miss Birdman, talk this out! Don't just hit people for no reason!"

Boom—

"Memory Erasure Technique (Physical)!" With a furious shout from Wuni and the thunderous sound of the girl swinging her hammer, golden lightning struck Wendy's original foothold.

"What the hell is this memory erasure technique?! Miss Birdman, if you hit anyone with that hammer, they'd be sent to Valhalla!"

Boom—the thunder roared again.

"And another thing, aren't you Wuni? Where did you pull Thor's hammer out from?!"

Wuni wielded the lightning summoned by her silver hammer, driving the green-haired Valkyrie who had spoken rudely to her between the rooftops of the buildings, chasing her all the way towards the Golden Palace of Asgard.

"How dare you call me a birdman... I see you don't respect me at all, you rude scoundrel!!!"

Enraged, Wuni accelerated and caught up with Wendy, who was running around aimlessly ahead, and grabbed her collar.

The green-haired girl turned her head and saw only a small face with bloodshot eyes and a murderous intent written all over it.

"Wow--!"

Before Wendy's scream, as if she'd seen a demon, had even faded, her backside made intimate contact with Thor's hammer in the silver-haired girl's hand—the two engaged in a frank exchange, sharing their opinions and deepening their understanding of each other...

The exchange ended with the green-haired girl flying into the golden palace of Asgard at supersonic speed and striking the blonde girl in the face.

"..." Snow tilted his head and looked at the Valkyrie who was lying in front of him, making a gesture that said not to stop.

"It seems you and Wuni are getting along quite well..."

The deity on the throne nodded, reaching her conclusion.

"Getting along well my foot! Which eye of yours saw us getting along well? When that electrified hammer hit my butt, I felt like I was about to pee my pants!"

It seems Miss Wuni ultimately held back; at least Wendy still has the energy to scream and shout, and she hasn't actually leaked any urine... Of course, as a conscious being, Wendy probably wouldn't experience urine leakage now...

"...Isn't it unpleasant? Wuni rarely takes that hammer...but she even took it out for you?"

The golden-haired god shook his head, looking at Wendy with amusement.

"Do you have some misconception about the concepts of friendly communication and pleasant coexistence? This... Lord Odin... or is it the Honkai consciousness?"

Wendy's expression turned serious.

"Haha...Why do you always think I'm a broken consciousness? Cute little guy."

The golden-haired god gave an amused smile as he sized up the Valkyrie before him.

"In the records of Destiny, all the legends and events related to mythology in this world are related to Honkai.... The pseudo-Herrschers and Honkai Beasts were regarded as gods by the ignorant people of the past legends, and even worshipped."

"You high and mighty god, you will never deceive me! You will never make me submit to you! Your broken will!"

The Valkyrie's green pupils glared at the young goddess before her.

"..."

The god stared speechlessly at the girl before him, until Wuni stormed back to the palace with her hammer in hand.

"Sir! She called me a birdman!" The silver-haired girl, seething with anger, immediately complained as she watched the two facing off...

"Birdman...hmm...seems to be alright? Wuni, my child, weren't you originally a raven...?"

The blonde girl thought for a moment and nodded, causing Wuni to immediately stop what she had prepared to say.

"Aaaaaah..." The silver-haired girl, unable to find comfort from her own god, glared fiercely at Wendy beside her and stormed off.

You just wait!
