Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

As Joyce recalled the past, she grew angrier and angrier, and her fist hardened!

"Let me confirm first, Mr. Joyce, do you simply want to punch Grandpa in the face...?"

Theresa was dumbfounded upon hearing such a straightforward purpose—you followed us all the way to Destiny headquarters. We were supposed to be rescuing people, we had a purpose that wasn't exactly noble, but it was still important. And you, sir, followed us all this way just to punch that scoundrel of your pen pal?

"Ah? You've misunderstood, Ms. Theresa... Your grandfather might be taking more than just one punch..."

Joyce shrugged and continued—

"I flipped through the notes of the original Anti-Entropy members, and well, some of my old friends are no longer alive... but aside from their research records, almost all of them shared a similar wish—"

"Your 'good' grandfather... they almost all wanted to punch him, plus Dr. Tesla has been nagging me ever since I came back: Joyce, this time when you leave, you must punch that old bastard in the face a few more times."

The indigo-haired youth wore a helpless expression.

"I've counted it up countless times... I feel it's really necessary for me to awaken a Stand..."

"substitute...?"

Theresa swallowed hard, as if she had just thought of something...

"Ah, the Stand, Star Platinum—"

"All of them together would take me at least three pages—the size of a 4K sheet of paper, in 10-point font... Um, Miss Theresa, you don't mind, do you?"

Joyce, remembering who the matriarch of the woman in front of her was, looked at Theresa.

"Fight, fight! Give me a punch too!"

Theresa, who had just returned from a video chat with her grandfather, shouted angrily.

"Okay, then I'm relieved..."

Thinking about Quantum Sea's conversation with another old friend's daughter, Joyce completely let go of all her burdens—

"Dad, you can hit me, you can hit me. I was just about to talk to you about this—"

"Isn't he your father...? Is this really okay for you?"

Joyce was dumbfounded. He had thought he would have to argue with the girl for a while, appealing to her emotions and reasoning with her. But the girl agreed faster than France surrendered, and she was even more enthusiastic about beating up her own father than he, the innocent victim who had been tricked by Otto, was.

"A father is a father, so you can hit him as much as you want. After all, no one understands their father better than their own daughter, right?"

"So you think your dad deserved to be beaten?"

"Mr. Joyce, don't you think so?"

"Then he definitely deserved to be beaten—"

The young man nodded.

"I only have one request: don't kill it... Oh well, its Soul Steel body seems indestructible anyway—"

Snow tilted his head and thought for a moment, then decisively gave up the idea of ​​saving his father, the Bishop of Destiny.

"I suggest you increase the pressure! It's too light, Dad can't feel the pain."

"Ah-"

At that moment, the blond man sitting in the office of the Bishop of Destiny, preparing to take control of the situation, suddenly sneezed, and had a bad feeling.

...

"Amber, how is our queen doing?"

Putting this inexplicable sense of unease aside, Otto began to focus on the core of the plan. After all, only members of the Kaslana family would still believe in intuition and sixth sense.

Unaware of what his bishop was thinking, the cyborg Amber truthfully reported the current progress—

"The Honkai energy inside the life support pod is gradually being absorbed by the individual numbered K423. Meanwhile, Schicksal's satellite detected signs of a large number of Honkai Beasts in Siberia, which are heading towards the headquarters over the Mediterranean Sea."

"As per your instructions, we have evacuated civilians from all the routes that Honkai Beasts were expected to take and deployed a large number of one-time autonomous weapons."

“Very well—we only ever invite the little guys from the Far East Branch as guests... As for these uninvited bastards... they’d better wait obediently outside the door. There’s only one spot on the visitor list for your Queen.”

The emerald green eyes watched as the pre-deployed autonomous forces wiped out a large portion of the Honkai beast horde on the screen, yet the beasts continued their relentless advance towards the Sky Island of Destiny—

"Amber, activate the all-area defense satellite! Notify Durandal to have the Undying Blade squad stand by."

"—Get ready for a world transformation!"

"So...where are my lovely granddaughter and the Divine Authority Squad now?"

The man looked at his secretary again.

"Lady Theresa's current armed transport ship, the Hermes, is approaching the outermost armed defense satellite network of the Sky Island. The Divine Authority Squad, after receiving your orders, turned around and accelerated toward Lady Theresa's flagship. They are expected to meet within 20 nautical miles of the Sky Island's airspace."

Amber seemed somewhat confused when she spoke of the final state of the Divine Authority Squad—

"Lord Otto, I don't understand why you brought the Divine Authority Squad back... that unit was Miss Snow's... um..."

"The Royal Guard... essentially, as the Royal Guard I chose for my daughter—they are incredibly talented Valkyries in Schicksal, but they are all members who have strong opinions about the current Schicksal system."

"Yes... in terms of pure strength, they are no less than the Undying Blade stationed at headquarters... You've recalled them again..."

“Amber, even if I don’t try to mobilize them… will they just obediently stay where they are…? That current acting captain of the Divine Authority Squad, Houraiji Kusho, isn’t exactly a peaceful character either, and as someone my daughter has taken a liking to—”

"Her ability to cause us trouble is second to none; Amber, I've thought about this for a long time... Rather than excluding them and letting Fate strike without our knowledge—it's better to bring them directly into this most important game..."

"At this point, we don't have many hidden pieces left, or rather, the hidden pieces we can play at this point—me and my daughter too. We have revealed all the pieces and chips that we can play on the board, pieces and chips that are acceptable to both sides."

"Go tell Bianca to prepare... Amber, I need some peace and quiet..."

"I understand."

The cyborg who looked remarkably like Kallen bowed to the blond man and turned to leave the office.

...The man raised the stemmed glass filled with purplish-red wine. The room's light shone through the wine onto his face, making his expression inscrutable—

"My child...what aspect of this plan are you trying to disrupt with the piece you left behind?"

...

"Are you interested in becoming the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire... my lord?"

Fokin stood beside the blonde girl and brought her some news that sounded rather nonsensical.

"...I have no interest in being blasted out of the galaxy by a faster-than-light cannon...???"

The girl narrowed her blue eyes, realizing something was off about her apostle's words.

"Nine Heavens? What is the Divine Authority Squad doing now...?"

The blonde girl's mind raced; she ruled out other options and pointed directly to her partner, who was also her current agent in the primordial universe.

"It's nothing... You'll probably be boarding the plane and becoming the Emperor of Dongluo soon—"

“Ah, the Western Roman Emperor was probably your father, Lord Otto Apocalypse.”

Fokin held the bubble tea he had just brought back from the primordial universe, sipping it slowly, and relayed the current situation to Snow.

"..."

"If I get blasted out of the galaxy by a faster-than-light cannon...none of you will escape."

Snow's lips began to twitch; she seemed to finally understand what stomach pain felt like.

"Is there any possibility... my lord, I mean, any possibility—"

"If we fly out of the Milky Way, we might find an Entangled Fate Spirit and bring it home with us."

Fujin shrank back and cautiously suggested a possibility.

"...It doesn't seem like it's impossible?"

.....

Meanwhile, aboard the Nibelungen, within the theocratic squad under the watchful eyes of the two legitimate members of the Apocalypse family, a group of Valkyries were engaged in a heated discussion about what was to come—

"Damn it, I've been fed up with those bastards in the biological research department at headquarters for a long time. Today I'll kick their asses to pieces."

"Today we'll storm the headquarters and seize that bastard Bishop Otto's throne!"

In the noisy bridge, Jiu Xiao felt as if she had entered Liangshan Marsh, where not Valkyries but the heroes of Liangshan had gathered.

Oh, it's just that there were a few too few people, not 180.

“You better wake up... Bishop Otto has never publicly claimed to have a biological daughter. In the minds of most members of Destiny, the bishop only has a nominal granddaughter.”

These are the rationalists in the discussion, currently analyzing the current situation.

"Huh?...Then my strategists, what do you suggest we do?"

The hot-tempered older women, who had been clamoring to storm the Heavenly Mandate ****, looked at the wise men on the ship, or rather, the squad leaders and vice-squad leaders.

After all, just being good at fighting isn't enough to become a squad leader; at best, you're just a main damage dealer.

"We must let most of the Schicksal people know about our captain, who lives on in photographs, battle videos, and memories..."

"The way you're saying that makes it sound like the captain's gone...???"

Chapter 152 The Second Empire

"What difference does it make whether the captain is alive or dead... The most senior members of the team have actually met Captain Snow... The rest of us have all come through the increasingly outrageous stories about the captain and vice-captain."

One of the Valkyries rolled her eyes and started talking loudly, but her words did attract Jiuxiao's attention.

"Oh? The legend of Snow... Tell me about it?"

The purple-haired Valkyrie gave her an interested look.

"Wow, vice-captain!"

The Valkyrie, whose name was called, hurriedly turned around, saluted Jiuxiao, and then, with a cautious expression, looked at her superior and asked:

"Vice Captain, are you sure you want to hear this...?"

"Hmm~"

"Let's get this straight, Vice Captain, you can't go and tattle on things to the Captain anymore..."
