boom--! !

A straight red laser beam swept across the surrounding air in an instant.

It slid over the two girls lying on the ground and struck another figure head-on.

Boom!! The bright red light cannon was deliberately refracted. The number one in Academy City did not use simple reflection, but instead fired the light bullet from the side towards the distant clouds.

The sound of an explosion came from the rear of the warship.

“…Huh?”

After realizing all this, Kiana's fair face instantly turned pale.

Just now, if Raiden Mei hadn't tackled him, that blast of light would have pierced his heart completely.

"Why, Bronya! What are you doing?!"

Just thinking about it makes me feel extremely scared.

Kiana called out to the girl in front of her with all her might.

"...Switch to exclusion mode."

It was an emotionless electronic voice.

It doesn't seem like a normal human being at all; it's more like a simple machine.

"Target locked, reload Bunny, prepare to completely eliminate all surrounding enemies."

"Exclude, exclude?"

Kiana and Raiden Mei hadn't reacted yet, while Accelerator clicked his tongue in astonishment.

"Tsk, does this mean they've been manipulated?"

no answer.

Bronya aimed directly at everyone in front of her, and the mech behind her unfolded.

The two enormous particle cannons began to rapidly build up their power.

"No! Stop it, Bronya!"

No matter how they called out to her, they couldn't wake Bronya up.

It seems... we have to defeat her.

Accelerator wouldn't have any concerns about this; it's exactly what he's best at.

however.

Bang——! !

The entire Moon Throne began to shake violently.

"what?"

"What happened now?!"

Looking around at the surrounding area, the clouds were sliding diagonally upwards.

—This warship is hurtling down the slope at high speed towards the ground.

It's a little troublesome.

Before them, Bronya was preparing to launch an indiscriminate attack on everyone, while the entire Moon Throne was still falling downwards at an extreme speed.

You can not have it both ways.

If the goal is to defeat Bronya quickly without harming her, and then ensure she stops attacking others, there won't be enough time to manage the warship.

Although the Moon Throne is enormous, it means nothing to Accelerator. Whether it's a warship or an asteroid impacting Earth, he can hold up the entire warship with one hand.

But that would mean giving up one of them.

Bronya's two light cannons coalesced, unleashing an even more powerful burst of energy.

--No.

Some other force directly blocked it.

boom--! !

Two blue magic circles, each over a meter long, unfolded and instantly engulfed the two particle cannons.

"…It's fine."

A very light and ethereal voice reached this place.

Everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky—a figure had descended upon the scene.

White and dark colors, followed by a red hair tie fluttering in the wind.

The long, white twin ponytails, stretching out like snowflakes, descended along with a pure white flash of light, just as if they were truly accompanied by falling snow.

The holy priestess slowly landed on the warship.

"As expected... I was right."

Like an agent of God, the priestess turned around gently, her blue eyes filled with pure joy and tenderness.

She spoke happily with a gentle smile that could soothe anyone.

"Finally, we meet again."

Kiana and Raiden Mei were both in a state of utter shock.

But the people who are most shocked are probably right here.

Accelerator stared wide-eyed, forgetting even to speak.

Boom——

The entire warship once again emitted a sound powerful enough to shake everything.

"...It's not the right time yet."

The white-clad priestess turned around and calmly looked at Bronya, who had completely gone berserk.

"I'll stop this here, okay?"

The most urgent task is to prevent the warship from crashing into the city.

"...You've been a huge help."

Without saying anything unnecessary, Accelerator said this calmly.

He immediately dashed outwards, four tornadoes swirling behind him, forming wings that belonged to a demon.

Even so, before leaving the warship.

He still saw it; the girl on the warship watched him go with a very gentle smile.

…snort.

The first person couldn't help but laugh.

"It's really motivating... isn't it?!"

boom--! ! !

Flying at supersonic speed, he instantly attacked the front of the warship.

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

Bronya was right in front of him, and he went into a berserk state.

However, when the white-haired, twin-tailed girl dressed as a shrine maiden arrived, a sense of relief instantly enveloped the Valkyries' hearts.

It's not just because of that quality that's enough to soothe the world.

More importantly, it's because of the girl's own identity.

"Far East Branch S-Rank Valkyrie... Hatsune Miku!"

It is said that she was a girl who suddenly appeared in a city overrun by Honkai Beasts several months ago, and then defeated all of them, saving countless lives.

After that, the Hyperion went to find her and persuaded her to meet with Principal Theresa. She then stayed at St. Freya Academy in the Far East.

Rumors circulate that she did not use the power of Honkai to fight against the Honkai Beasts.

Some say that this girl possesses an unprecedented, unknown power, like witchcraft or magic.

Regardless, the girl named Hatsune Miku does indeed possess power far exceeding anything else.

In just a few months, she was promoted to the rank of S-class Valkyrie.

More importantly, this legendary girl was right in front of him.

No… Although I have encountered her quite a few times at St. Freya Academy, those were just everyday encounters, not meetings during battles.

This time, it can be said that we truly witnessed the other side on the battlefield.

"Hostile target detected. Initiating attack mode."

"Watch out! Hatsune Miku! Bronya has been forcibly controlled by someone!"

"It's fine."

The priestess simply smiled in response.

"I know."

call--

Storms and cold enveloped the world.

There was clearly nothing around us; we should naturally be high in the sky.

Snowflakes suddenly appeared out of nowhere next to Hatsune Miku.

"Heavy Bunny, prepare the Heavy Particle Cannon."

"Fire."

Boom—!! The relentless barrage of fire came hurtling in head-on.

The priestess, in response, merely raised her right hand slightly.

Click click click click——

The particle cannon's firing was frozen in mid-air.

Without even the slightest struggle, Bronya's attacks were completely frozen.

Something resembling a magic staff appeared in her hand—a bell that could be waved like a gohei (a type of ceremonial bell).

Hatsune Miku calmly stared at the girl who continued to attack her, then dispersed all the heavy particle cannons that had been frozen in front of her.

Like real ice shattering, all these particles were broken apart.

But that's not the end.

Under Bronya's astonished gaze, the shooting particles arrived directly beside her.

Click click click——

This time, it was Bronya's own limbs that were frozen.

“Amazing…!”

"He actually converted Bronya's attack into his own move...?"

It's on a scale that's practically out of the ordinary.

"It's alright, there's no need for any more pointless attacks."

"Attack immobilization detected. Reload Bunny, preparing to switch attack modes—"

She didn't finish her sentence.

The girl right in front of him simply smiled gently.

Then, she tapped the bell in her hand directly on her forehead.

hum-

In an instant, Bronya's expression froze completely.
