After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

【Is it over? 】

A pleasant female voice spread quietly.

[Although he has awakened the power of the stigmata, it is not complete enough, so his ability is only half-baked... Even so, he was able to dodge my attacks several times and escape for a whole day, but I only cut off one arm. This is also worthy of praise.]

"Haha~~~ I really can't thank you enough..."

Siegfried forced a smile, but his entire left arm had now disappeared.

(Damn it... It's really terrible. Where on earth did this guy come from? If I hadn't been trained by Xia Chuan for the past five years, I would have died from the first blow!)

(Also, this guy's speed... feels faster than Natsukawa!)

「Then I should take you back. If I continue to delay, Professor Mobius will keep nagging me.」

"------!"

Without any hesitation, Siegfried raised the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire with one hand!

But before he could pull the trigger, the figure had already arrived in front of him, and the feeling of the blade piercing through his body instantly attacked him! And the piercing cold that spread immediately afterwards made Siegfried's thinking stop before he could even hold on for a moment!

【mission completed】

The figure hiding in the shadows lifted up Siegfried's body and put his hand to his ear.

[Is it my... Destiny's reinforcement? I understand. I will deal with it.]

[I know I won't kill you, and you shouldn't kill me either, Professor Mobius.]

Swish-!

The moment the words fell, the alley returned to silence, with only the frost spreading on the ground proving that someone had been here before.

30. This is a trap

Theresa hasn't received any missions in a long time.

Although she is the only S-class Valkyrie in Skyward currently and should be given more work, with the use of artificial stigmata, the places where Theresa is needed to appear are actually gradually decreasing, so she has not been on a mission for almost a year.

But she hadn't just sat at home doing nothing for the past year. Ever since she encountered that situation in Siberia five years ago, Theresa had started to work on an idea she had always had in mind - to open a Valkyrie training academy separate from the headquarters.

Even after the reform, the Valkyrie training at the Sky Mandate headquarters still trains Valkyries as soldiers, and does not treat these girls, whose average age is only 14 or 15, as adolescent children. To be more realistic and cruel, Otto and Sky Mandate researchers simply regard Valkyries as weapons that can be mass-produced, and even many experiments require Valkyries as experimental carriers.

Theresa has made many efforts to change this situation, but all her efforts will be in vain as long as Otto does not nod and take the lead in making changes.

Therefore, Theresa simply left the headquarters and began to transform an artificial island that she had applied for from Otto before the second collapse, intending to build it into a Valkyrie training academy with a teaching method that was completely different from that of the headquarters.

This was also the wish of Theresa's good friend Cecilia before she died.

After five years of hard work, this academy named "Saint Freya" has been basically completed. The next thing to do is to start enrolling students and recruiting teachers. Theresa has already discussed this with several orphanages under SkyMing and some retired and even active Valkyries.

In her expectation, St. Freya Academy will be able to officially start operations in the second half of this year at the latest. By then, she will give up her title of S-class Valkyrie and complete the work of the principal and teacher wholeheartedly.

But just when she was about to realize her and her best friend's wish -

"I didn't expect Siegfried to lose contact during a mission... When was the last time he got into trouble during a mission?"

In an old apartment building in Guangzhou.

Together with several Valkyries who assisted her, Theresa came to the innermost room of the second floor and walked in while complaining.

"You want me to clean up his mess? Then wait and see how I kill him. This is where Siegfried last contacted you, right?"

"Yes, Lady Theresa."

Because of Siegfried's loss of contact, Theresa, who was originally in the Far East, had to come over to continue Siegfried's investigation mission. She also needed to investigate Siegfried's whereabouts. The room where Theresa was now was one of the several bases used by Siegfried during his investigation in Guangzhou.

The house was not very clean, but rather dirty and messy, with clothes scattered on the bed and chairs, and the floor was littered with garbage bags left over from food - one could tell at a glance that Siegfried's life here was absolutely slovenly.

(He is a noble man at home, but he behaves like this when he is out alone.)

After glancing at the room with some disdain, Theresa came to the only table piled with things and began to check each drawer one by one.

Since Siegfried lost contact with the headquarters after his last contact here, there should be some clues left here. This is also the reason why Theresa came here now.

only......

"No."

After searching the table inside and out, even looking at the things on the table one by one, Theresa sighed: "There's not even a single clue left...Did you find anything over there?"

"No, Lady Theresa."

The three auxiliary Valkyries in the room all shook their heads.

On the table, under the bed, on the balcony, in the corridor... no matter where, nothing related to Siegfried's disappearance could be found, and there were no signs of any fight in the room. It was basically certain that Siegfried did not lose contact here.

(So... after the regular report, when Siegfried was out on his investigation mission, he encountered something somewhere nearby and lost contact?)

Theresa held her chin in her hand and thought.

(But this area is so large, if we want to find out where Siegfried disappeared...)

"Tsk, it would be nice if we could retrieve the surveillance video."

Because of the contract between Tianming and the Shenzhou government, Tianming could only place spies in Shenzhou, and could not do more. If it were in other countries, Theresa would have directly come to monitor the video and lock on Siegfried's whereabouts cleanly and neatly.

"So what should we do next, Lady Theresa?"

"Go ask around about Siegfried. There are quite a few residents around here. Siegfried has such conspicuous white hair that many people should remember him."

"We understand."

Following Theresa's instructions, the three Valkyries quickly left the room, and Theresa herself looked around the room again. For some reason, when she stepped into the room, she always felt a slight sense of disobedience, as if the coffee she had placed on the table before leaving had been moved a dozen centimeters when she came back.

This subtle sense of incongruity made Theresa instinctively feel that there must be some clues in this room that she and the Valkyries had not discovered.

“Tick-tock…”

A faint voice sounded quietly.

Theresa looked in the direction of the sound—it was the sound of the hands of the clock on the table moving.

(A clock? Siegfried would also prepare this...eh?)

After her eyes stayed on the clock for a second, Theresa suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly picked it up to take a closer look.

"...the other way around?"

In Theresa's eyes, the time displayed on the clock, or the direction of the pointers and numbers on the dial, were all reversed. The three pointers were also rotating counterclockwise, as if to express that time was flowing backwards.

(Is this a clue left by Siegfried? Or...)

"Click!"

Another voice came from the door.

The door that should have been open was now tightly closed. Theresa hurried over and turned the door handle a few times, then suddenly punched the door hard!

"Boom!"

From its tiny body erupted an incredible force that was enough to send a Honkai beast flying in one blow!

But the door that had received the punch was strangely intact! It looked like Theresa could tear it apart with just a little force, but there was no scratch on it at all.

After a slight hesitation, Theresa picked up the Judas at hand and smashed it hard against the door!

"Boom——————!"

The vibration and sound exploded even more violently than before!

However, the door remained intact.

"Even Judas' full-strength attack couldn't break this door. What on earth... am I trapped in this room?"

【Yes】

Suddenly, someone's voice sounded from outside the door.

(Someone is outside!)

[It was originally a trap prepared just in case, but I didn't expect someone to fall into it. Although it's a bit sudden, I'm sorry, but the instructions I received were to eliminate all the people related to Destiny in this area. Since you appear here, it means that you are also a person of Destiny, right? ]

[I have to make you lose consciousness first]

“Ka——!”

Theresa only had time to hear a sound like something being pulled out, and the next moment, her vision, along with the entire house, was shattered by hundreds of sharp sword lights!

31. Theresa enters, Theresa falls

"boom----!"

In the quiet city of Guangzhou.

With a sudden explosion, the room where Siegfried lived, along with the entire old apartment building, was reduced to ruins in the impact!

After escaping from the ruins quickly, Theresa ran to a nearby open space, covered in dust, breathing rapidly and looking nervous.

(Oh, that was close! If I hadn’t been alert, my head and body would have been separated by now!)

(But even so...)

Theresa glanced at her arm.

The moment the knife light tore open her vision, she, who had already been alert because of the sense of disharmony, almost instinctively used Judah as a shield to block in front of her, thus blocking most of the attacks, and even took the initiative to fly backwards due to the impact of the attacks.

But there were still one or two attacks that she couldn't completely block, leaving not-too-deep wounds on her arms.

(So ​​cold... I was chopped, but I didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, my arm seemed to be frozen.)

If he hadn't avoided the direct attack, his entire arm would probably be numb by now.

Then again——

(Since he attacked me and said that, it seems that the reason why Siegfried lost contact is probably because he encountered the same attack as me. Maybe the spies who were wiped out here before were also in the same situation.)

(So, this is actually an attack on Tianming? An organization or individual who could do such a thing...)

Apart from Anti-Entropy, does such an organization really exist?

No, even for Anti-Entropy, it would be very difficult to do such a thing, and Theresa had no idea why Anti-Entropy would do this. In the past ten years, both parties have been recuperating and accumulating strength for the third collapse that might happen at any time. There was no reason for them to attack Sentence at all!

To put it in an exaggerated way, even if there really was an internal fight, Theresa was sure that it would definitely be initiated by Destiny!

But apart from Anti-Entropy, what other organization could do such a thing?

"clatter......"

The sound of toes hitting the ground interrupted Theresa's thoughts.

As if appearing out of thin air, a slender figure appeared silently in front of Theresa, with an ice-blue blade emitting bursts of chill in her hand pointing diagonally at the ground.

[Good level]

It sounded a little vague, but it was definitely a female voice.

[Although I didn't try my best, you might be able to block my frontal attack. Are you one of the outstanding warriors of this era, just like the successor of Kaslana? ]

"...It seems that you are indeed related to Siegfried's disappearance."

Theresa said seriously.

(Damn it, what’s wrong with this guy? His voice is a little fuzzy, but I can’t see what he looks like at all.)

In Theresa's vision, the person standing in front of her was a blue mosaic. Although it was not completely unclear, as the weapon and body shape were still within the recognizable range, the opponent's appearance was extremely blurry, just like the scenes in the comics that were not suitable for children and needed to be covered with super thick mosaics!

"That's great. Since you took the initiative to appear in front of me, I don't have to bother looking for someone!"

"Siegfried's loss of contact, the annihilation of all the Spies - now I'll trouble you to tell me everything in detail!"

Da da da————!

The moment she finished speaking, Theresa rushed directly towards the figure in front of her, grabbed Judas, who was entangled in chains, with both hands, and threw him out with all her strength like a meteor hammer!
