The entire Earth was shaken in an instant.

Looking back again, the tower where the monster had been standing had been reduced to ashes.

The Honkai Beasts surrounding it were completely wiped out, leaving not even a trace.

——————————————————————————————————————————

Moonlight Throne.

I have absolutely no idea what its origin is, and I have no idea where this thing came from.

However, after it arrived, countless Honkai Beasts also attacked.

As the Valkyries of the Far East branch, they were determined to stop it.

then.

"…Well!"

The white-haired girl lying on the ground couldn't help but gasp for breath.

Kiana Kaslana was once a girl discovered by the Hyperion in Sky City during the Third Honkai Impact.

Two years later, she has become an outstanding Valkyrie, and this time she has come to investigate the truth about the Moon Throne.

However, they seem to have encountered some very difficult things so far.

Clang——! !

The blades rubbed against each other.

Raiden Mei raised her weapon, a sharp arc of light flashing as the giant Honkai Beast swept its blade-like arm across her face.

"Gulp... drink...!"

Raiden Mei's expression froze, her hands trembled rapidly, and her body slowly retreated.

Two years have passed since they joined the Destiny Organization. In those two years, both of them should have reached the level of B-rank Valkyrie, or even stronger.

But that still doesn't seem to be enough.

Before them, a gigantic, demonic shadow was slowly approaching the girls.

"Mei——!"

"I, I'm fine... Kiana...!"

That's what they say, but Raiden Mei simply couldn't withstand the monster's attacks.

The Emperor-class Honkai Beast possesses such terrifying power that even A-rank Valkyries need to be careful, let alone B-rank Valkyries.

If even combined efforts are insufficient to overcome it, there will only be one outcome.

dead.

How could this happen!

We've survived so many years, how could we possibly collapse in a place like this?

The girl ignored the blood gushing from her tightly clenched hands and the oppressive pain throughout her body.

Her eyes gradually turned red.

"At least... at least Kiana has to survive!!"

"Mei!!"

Bilibili——Bilibili——

Purple electricity coiled around the girl's hand, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and a powerful force gradually awakened within her.

—But before that, everything was already over.

The Emperor-level Honkai Beast raised its sharp claws and swung them down.

puff.

Under Kiana's gaze, blood splattered, an arm was instantly slashed open, and Raiden Mei stood there dumbfounded.

"Ya...Yi?"

Kiana's eyes trembled for a moment.

—Huh? No, that's not right!

That wasn't Raiden Mei's arm at all.

What was cut open from the plane were the enormous remains of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

"Guwaa ...

The monster roared in pain, intending to unleash its remaining power on Raiden Mei in one breath.

In that instant, a finger was placed against the monster's claws.

"…What?"

Both girls were stunned and stood there.

A pure white monster stood still.

"Seriously...why do I always have to do these boring things? I'm so different from that damn spiky-haired bastard."

Bang! With a flick of his finger, the massive Emperor-class Honkai Beast was sent flying in an instant.

After blasting away an Emperor-level Honkai Beast with just one finger, the figure raised his right hand, igniting karmic flames, and grasped a scythe that seemed disproportionate to his size.

That's a situation even shorter than a tenth of a second.

The demon, surrounded by flames, struck a blow that sent the monster in front of it back into nothingness.

Kill instantly with one hit.

Even the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, which was difficult for two girls to defeat together, was instantly killed just like that.

The girls stood there, stunned and speechless.

At this moment, as dusk fell, the clouds surrounding the Moon Throne parted.

Only the truly strongest, number one, stood casually in place.

——————————————————————————————————————————

"—Huh?"

St. Freya Academy, in the Valkyrie dormitory.

A girl with a pair of light blue twin ponytails couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Chapter 272 Who is the one who quelled the riot...?

Bang.

The outcome was completely predictable; in fact, it would be abnormal if there were any suspense.

The Honkai Beasts' bodies were scattered across the spaceship's deck like individual parts, and were blown away along with the swirling winds above the clouds.

Emperor-class Honkai Beast?

Rubbish.

For the number one strongest esper in Academy City, no amount of trash can change the overwhelming fact.

So Accelerator put away his overly conspicuous weapon and looked back at the two people beside him.

"...Why do you know how?"

The first person to react was Raiden Mei.

"Why would someone who disappeared two and a half years ago suddenly appear here...?"

Two and a half years.

They actually traversed such a long period of time in one go? That's really reckless.

"Leaving aside the unnecessary stuff for now, what's the situation here?"

"...Moonlight Throne."

"what?"

"That's the name of this warship. It suddenly appeared here today... In thirty minutes, it will crash into Canghai City below us, and that will have unimaginable consequences."

"...So it turns out to be this kind of troublesome thing again?"

After a series of conversations, the girl who had collapsed in Raiden Mei's arms finally came to her senses.

The white-haired girl slowly raised her head, and when she saw someone with the same hair color as her, she couldn't help but stare in astonishment.

--ah.

"you…"

Kiana slowly raised her hand.

Raiden Mei, who was holding her, gradually became astonished. Accelerator looked at her, and the white-haired girl slowly reached out her hand towards him.

To be honest, I had already guessed it.

Kiana has white hair, and the person in front of her, who has been elusive until now, also has completely white hair.

And now Kiana is reacting to it to this extent.

'Could it be... that the two of them are actually—?!'

Actually, they are like long-lost relatives...?

Raiden Mei couldn't help but hold her breath.

then.

"Ah! I remember you! You're the one who said that super cool line two years ago during the Anti-Entropy invasion!!"

puff--! !

"Kiana! This isn't the time to be worrying about this kind of thing!!"

"Hey... Mei, you, you wouldn't be... jealous, would you?"

"What—? No, no! How could I possibly be jealous over something like that... And besides, don't say things like 'jealous' in front of outsiders!!"

Ignoring Accelerator standing to the side, the two girls continued their silly antics.

At one point, the first person felt that these two girls, who looked like they were almost adults, might actually be only as young as kids.

Boom——

And then, right after that.

A sound came from the inside of the warship.

"Huh... what's that sound?"

Kiana blinked and immediately climbed out of Raiden Mei's arms.

The two girls walked directly to the front, and Accelerator also turned his gaze to the front.

The warship doors there were simply opened.

"I said, are there other people on this ship?"

"That's right, one of our comrades is currently inside the warship working to regain control, in order to prevent the Moon Throne from falling and destroying the entire Canghai City..."

Just as Raiden Mei was saying this, a figure walked out of the door.

She was an extremely petite girl.

"Ah! It's Bronya!"

A petite girl with light gray, turbine-like curly twin ponytails, surrounded by a giant mecha behind her.

—Her blood-red eyes sent a chill through anyone who looked at her.

"Bronya! You cracked this warship's systems so quickly? You're amazing! Truly impressive—"

"Kiana! Get out of the way!!"

Kiana, who was about to run happily to greet her opponent, was instead tackled to the ground by Raiden Mei.
