Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Ugh, you bastard!"

The silver-haired girl, exasperated, looked at Green Seele in the wheelchair but couldn't think of any way to deal with her.

"Hmph..."

Suddenly, Wuni seemed to have thought of something and let out a malicious laugh. The silver-haired girl's right hand fingers twitched slightly, as if she was sketching something.

Then, a southern cockroach the size of a human... crawled out from a corner near the church, accompanied by the screams of several girls and the roar of gunfire.

"What a huge cockroach!!!"

...

"What did you do...?"

Wendy looked on in disbelief as the three girls fought with a giant southern cockroach as tall as a person.

"Tch...just a regular cockroach, what's so strange about it?"

Wu Ni scoffed, seemingly annoyed that the three girls had come out to cause trouble. She whistled, turned her head away, and indicated that it was none of her business...

"That's all? A cockroach as tall as a person, and it survived the blows and attacks from the Heavenly Mandate weapon head-on... You call that an ordinary cockroach?"

"Tell me honestly, Wuni, what are your abilities...? It seems like you're always pulling off fancy tricks..."

Wendy glared at the silver-haired girl beside her, seemingly not intending to let the matter drop.

"Tch, anyway, they'll have some time to deal with that cockroach, so consider this a lesson for you... newbie."

Wuni emphasized the word "newcomer," which made Wendy glare at her with displeasure.

"Although the authority bestowed by our Lord and the Honkai consciousness share the same origin and overlap somewhat, the authority that leans towards the Honkai God is closer to the authority that governs the rules of the world. The authority bestowed by our Lord has been a more abstract, conceptual, and composite authority from the very beginning."

"This means that our direct combat power may not be as high as that of the fully-formed Apostles of the Honkai Gods, but they will be more troublesome and harder to kill."

"For example, Sister Fokin, who represents the first sequence of 'thought,' is not the thought of a living being in the narrow sense. She can also be the thought process of AI, the logical program of a robot itself, or even the operation of all things. They will all be influenced by Sister Fokin to a certain extent. As the embodiment of the concept of 'thought,' she will exist forever unless the universe goes to heat death."

"And as the second-order 'Memory' monarch, I too possess memories that are not limited to intelligent beings. Machines and the world also have memories, ancient legends, lost myths, even a piece of coal contains memories from ten thousand years ago—I can recreate these abstract [memories] in reality... And as long as the world exists, I will never become a memory, returning countless times from the memories of history."

"Of course, the simplest use is to materialize the things that others fear most in their hearts... These materialized mental creations will never die until I actively interrupt them or they completely overcome their inner fears."

With a somewhat smug expression, Fokin introduced the abilities of the apostles belonging to this faction to his juniors.

"So...you got a super-sized Southern cockroach to scare them?"

"No, I was originally just trying to scare you, but you called me a birdman..."

Wu Ni glared angrily at the green-haired girl in the wheelchair, making no attempt to hide her true intentions and stating them openly.

"You naughty thing... So that means my ability isn't just wind, right?"

Wendy glared at the silver-haired girl beside her with annoyance, and asked with some curiosity.

"Of course, the emphasis of the Wind of Unbound is not on the wind itself, but on the unbound... literally unbound, meaning that nothing, power, or behavior that has any concept of constraint can bind you—it is the wind of the heavens, and no one on earth has the right to crown you, nor do the laws of the mortal world have the right to judge you."

"Even if you are locked up in a prison, cage, or laboratory, even if they anesthetize you, it won't matter—any means of making you lose consciousness or freedom are meaningless if you don't want to."

"The locked door will open automatically, and the prepared large dose of anesthetic drugs will instantly turn into harmless glucose water when injected. Any wanted notices about you will be completely distorted in terms of name, appearance, and characteristics when they are finally issued, turning them into a piece of waste paper."

"And conventional responsibilities and missions will no longer hold much of a binding force on you..."

Just as Wuni was explaining the nature of Wendy's ability, the battle on the trio's side temporarily came to an end...

--

Kiana, suppressing her nausea, mounted the enormous cockroach that had appeared out of nowhere. Overcoming her fear, she pinned it to the ground and unleashed a barrage of Ora punches on its head until the cockroach beneath her stopped thrashing and crumbled into a pile of tiny Honkai energy crystals.

"Honkai energy crystals??? Why would a Honkai beast look like this...???!"

Kiana, panting, stared at the giant cockroach beneath her, now reduced to crystalline fragments, her lips twitching wildly.

"Bronya didn't understand, but she was greatly shocked... Bronya wanted to retract all her previous negative comments about Kiana... However, Bronya still suggested that Kiana take a shower immediately after returning to the Hyperion, and Bronya was determined to keep her distance from Kiana."

The gray-haired girl's eyes were now filled with admiration and fear as she looked at Kiana, as shown in the picture.

"How many negative reviews did you give me before...? Never mind that, let's contact Himeko quickly."

The white-haired knight princess hastily wiped her hands on the sand and dialed Hyperion's communication channel again.

"Himeko-sensei, we've found Miss Wendy, and she's accompanied by an unidentified girl. She's characterized by silver hair, red eyes, and wearing a black dress with feathered garlands. I've sent you a photo; could you confirm her identity...?"

...

"Kiana, I received the photo you sent. Unfortunately, there is no one with such an appearance in Schicksal's publicly available global population database... Try to communicate with them, and remember to be prepared to fight them."

"The girl next to Wendy is very likely from Anti-Entropy... If we're even less lucky... that silver-haired girl might not be human at all. Theresa and I are heading in your direction now. The A team of the Divine Authority Squad is resting about five kilometers away from you. Ask them for backup. We'll be there soon."

"Understood, we will try our best to negotiate, Himeko-sensei."

Kiana nodded at the screen.

"It would be best if we could communicate, Kiana. Be careful."

Chapter 113 What the hell!

"Bronya, can you get in touch with Team A that Himeko mentioned?"

Kiana and her two companions cautiously approached the two who seemed to be in a daze. The gray-haired girl did not answer the white-haired knight's question, but just stood there, her expression seemingly showing some resistance and struggle.

"Bronya? Are you alright?"

Mei glanced at the gray-haired girl with some concern and then switched her consciousness back.

"Was Bronya just spacing out? Go contact the nearest support team quickly..."

Kiana's voice rang out again, and the white-haired knight's concerned gaze fell upon Bronya. The repeated command brought Bronya back to her senses, and the gray-haired girl quickly opened a projection panel in front of her and tapped a few times on it.

"Bronya has contacted nearby support, and they should arrive soon."

The girl's voice was somewhat hollow, filled with a faint mechanical quality.

"Bronya, are you really alright... It's not a good habit to daydream on the battlefield."

Mei looked at the gray-haired girl who seemed to have come to her senses, her eyes filled with concern, as if she wanted to check her body on the spot.

"Bronya is in good condition and ready to be deployed at any time."

The girl's concise and powerful answer temporarily dispelled Mei's doubts, allowing the woman to refocus her attention on the mission.

"If you feel unwell, please remember to tell me."

After giving the girl another piece of advice, Mei turned around and looked at the silver-haired and green-haired girls who were arguing under the clock tower.

Kiana nodded to Bronya, then looked towards Wendy's location. Out of Bronya's sight, the white-haired knight princess activated her communication device—

"Miss Skadi, and Miss Skagur, are you there?"

Kiana initiated the communication very softly, so much so that Mei and Bronya, who were not far away, did not hear it.

"This is the commander of the A Division of the Divine Authority Force, A-rank Valkyrie Skadi. Communication is clear, Miss Kiana."

"Commander of Squad B of the Divine Authority Force, A-rank Valkyrie Shijagul. Communication clear, Lieutenant Kiana, you're in trouble, aren't you?"

"Did you just receive our request for reinforcements? It should have been sent by Bronya?"

To confirm something completely, Kiana asked the two people on the other end of the communication line a question.

"Lieutenant Bronya's request for assistance? Squad B did not receive it."

“Squad A hasn’t received anything either. You need support, right? We’re very close to you now and can come to your aid right away.”

Both captains denied receiving any previous requests for reinforcements.

"As expected, Miss Skadi and Miss Skagguer, you should know about Bronya's identity, right?"

"Your Excellency Jiuxiao told the story of that child, the former child mercenary controlled by the radical leader of Anti-Entropy. What happened?"

“Just now, Bronya’s expression started to look strange, as if she had been controlled again, and she should have indeed sent a request for reinforcements. There should have been no interference with the communication just now.”

Kiana slowed her pace as she approached the two people downstairs from the church, quickly informing them of the situation.

“I understand. Squad A, enter forced march mode. If there are no obstacles, we will come to reinforce you within 6 minutes!” Skadi instantly understood what Kiana on the other end of the communication was trying to say.

"Squad B, you're in for a surprise. Lady Cocolia, hiding behind that girl, is going to be disappointed. Squad B, you've spotted Anti-Entropy supporting Titan forces. All personnel, prepare to engage!"

Shigagul's spirited voice rang out through the communication, accompanied by the sound of a mecha exploding.

"Thank you both, we will do our best to buy some time."

The white-haired knight thanked the other two people over the communicator.

"It's just my duty, there's nothing to thank me for."

The two captains turned off their communications.

[Bella? Can you hear me, Bella?]

Kiana, having ended the communication, began calling out the name of another little one.

[Lady Kiana, I'm here—is it my turn to make my appearance?]

[That's right, Bella, find the Anti-Entropy radicals' air fleet and wreak havoc on their forces.]

[Understood, Lady Kiana, I'll depart immediately.]

The master and servant completed their communication through some kind of telepathic dialogue. In the sky, a small blue streak streaked across the sky and flew away into the distance.

Having done all that, Kiana now stood before Wendy and the other two.

"Hello, you must be Miss Wendy, right?"

The white-haired knight princess gave a gentle smile, bent down slightly, and extended her hand to Wendy, who was sitting in a wheelchair. She decisively chose Wendy, with whom she was more familiar, as the starting point, avoiding a direct confrontation with another unidentified silver-haired girl that might lead to a tense situation.

"Ah... I'm Wendy, hello, miss?"

Attracted by Kiana's smile, the green-haired girl, somewhat flattered and surprised, replied with a slightly embarrassed tone.

"I am Kiana Kaslana, a B-rank Valkyrie from the Far East Branch. I'm here to help you evacuate from the disaster-stricken area of ​​New Zealand. By the way, is this silver-haired lady also your companion, Miss Wendy? It's very dangerous here now, let's retreat quickly."

Kiana noticed the doubt in Wendy's words, revealed her identity and told them her current purpose, and also took the unidentified girl with her on the way.

"Ah... okay, thank you for making the trip. Let's set off now."

Wendy reached out and grasped Kiana's warm hand. The two teams temporarily reached a consensus and began to head towards the Hyperion.

"Um, Miss Wendy, could you introduce the silver-haired girl next to you? When we came to pick you up earlier, we were told that you seemed to be alone?"
