Collapse, I save everything alone

The magnificent hall was now plunged into darkness.

At the same time, he put his hands together and activated the [Cang] in the [Unlimited Technique].

The goal is...the sky.

In an instant, his body disappeared from the spot, and the roof that was originally wrapped by the vines summoned by the Black Abyss White Flower suddenly cracked, revealing a big hole.

Youlan Dell followed closely behind and flew out of the cave quickly, but Mingyu was no longer visible.

——High above the banquet hall, there was only a small armed puppet holding a flaming sword, staring at her.

"This is……"

She looked at the little guy with a serious expression.

She had never seen this doll before, but the aura it exuded now made it impossible for her to ignore it.

——That is the aura of a strong person.

The little white-haired puppet raised the sword in his hand and swung it down suddenly:

"Lock on the target, Orlan Dell, and start executing the order."

According to the mission objectives set by Mingyu, it will try every means to prevent Youlan Dell from leaving here before its energy is exhausted.

The dazzling flames came as the greatsword was swung, engulfing the blonde girl holding the spear.

..............................

At the same time, in the banquet hall.

The dark hall had become a mess, and the area where the people from the Far East Branch were located had become tense.

Faced with Rita and the Undying Blade team surrounding her, Theresa, as the branch chief, was in a state of confusion.

No matter what, Mingyu is her student, and she has to protect her student.

But, on the other hand, Otto is her grandfather after all...

This dilemma made her not know what to do for a moment.

"Lady Theresa, if you and your other students could just stay here and do nothing, Rita would be very grateful."

Rita whispered.

"..."

Theresa remained silent and did not respond.

She thought Rita's suggestion was good. At the moment when the situation was unclear, doing nothing was indeed the best option.

But obviously, the girls around her didn't think so.

Mei took a step forward and came in front of Rita and the Undying Blade team.

——He told himself a long time ago that the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny was his enemy.

Since Mingyu has already attacked the bishop, I should naturally help him.

The main combat and defensive forces of the Destiny Headquarters are the various mechas of the Shenji series and the elite Valkyrie team of the Immortal Blade... It is up to her to help Mingyu relieve the pressure and clear away these minor obstacles.

Mei took a deep breath and made up her mind. She quickly reached an agreement with the will of the stigmata in her body and channeled the complete power of the Herrscher of Thunder.

Dazzling lightning surrounded her body, illuminating the originally dark hall.

The huge amount of Honkai energy cannot be ignored.

"Mei?!"

Theresa exclaimed as she looked at the purple-haired girl who walked in front of the group.

"…I'm sorry, Principal. I stand on Mingyu's side."

Mei gave an apologetic smile, then waved her hand to condense a katana and pointed it at the Valkyries in front of her.

"Ms. Mei, I must remind you that you are trying to go against destiny, and you will be severely punished and held accountable afterwards."

Rita warned.

"Are you threatening a Herrscher?"

Facing the Valkyrie in front of her, Mei changed her tone, as if she had become a different person.

"…It seems like there is no choice."

Rita sighed, and the phantom of Moon Soul appeared behind her.

The Third Herrscher... I don't know to what extent her power has recovered. If it is her complete form, even as an S-rank Valkyrie, I am afraid I don't have much chance of winning.

If we want to deal with the Herrscher, we still need to rely on the power of Lord Yulandel.

However, she now has more important goals to deal with.

If we can persuade Lady Theresa to join us in fighting the Third Herrscher...

Rita quickly thought of a countermeasure in her mind.

But unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Apparently, Mei was not the only one in the Far East Branch who planned to stand up against destiny.

"Xie'er!"

While Mei and Rita were confronting each other, another voice of hers sounded anxiously in the mind of a weak girl nearby.

"another me……"

"The situation doesn't look very safe right now. Hurry, give your body to me!"

Hei Xi urged.

With Seele's not-so-skilled combat ability and Honkai energy control skills, she probably won't be able to get any advantage at the hands of this group of elite Valkyries. At times like this, she has to take the field.

This is not to help that guy, it's just to protect Xier -

"Um……"

Xier nodded obediently and her consciousness sank into the spiritual world.

At the moment when the two were about to switch, she grabbed the hand of her other self.

"The other me...can we also help Brother Mingyu?"

"I know. Don't worry. That guy saved you after all. I know what to do."

Hei Xi agreed.

After skillfully completing the body swap, the girl's eyes turned into a crazy red, and a sickle and chain claws also appeared around her body.

You say you're here to help, but in reality you just want to make a big scene here.

Bronya, who was standing by, took a look at Seele's sudden change, and raised the muzzle of the Heavy Rabbit, aiming at Rita, and said to Theresa:

"I'm sorry, Principal, Bronya and Seele are also on Mingyu's side."

And taking advantage of the light emitted by Mei, she also took this opportunity to wink at Kiana.

"I...I'll help Mingyu too!"

Although the white-haired girl was a little confused about the current situation, at this moment, she had no reason not to stand on the side of her own people.

It is easy to choose between familiar friends and family and strangers.

She originally wanted to ask Fu Hua in the same way, but when she looked around, she found that the squad leader had disappeared.

...Where did she run to?

"Well……!"

Seeing that all her students were on the same side, Theresa gritted her teeth, pulled out the pendant on her chest, turned it into a huge cross and stuck it into the ground.

She also has her own selfish motives.

Her grandfather, a man named Otto Apokalis, had a notorious past... Even Theresa herself had already reached a cooperation agreement with the two doctors of Anti-Entropy.

——That is, when necessary, she would choose to rebel against destiny and join forces with Anti-Entropy to deal with her grandfather.

As early as the time when Anti-Entropy invaded St. Freya's Academy, Dr. Einstein showed her the countless clones of Cecilia that Otto kept in a laboratory when communicating with her in the central database.

They have no consciousness and will never wake up. The purpose of their creation is simply to provide him with a steady supply of [Shaniat Holy Blood] for research.

Theresa could not tolerate Otto's behavior of disrespecting Cecilia.

Now... although it was not the timing she had expected, since it had become like this, she could only go with the flow.

Seeing that all members of the Far East Branch were ready for battle, Rita could only sigh slightly.

It would be difficult for her and the other members of the Undying Blade team to deal with Theresa, the former S-class Valkyrie, and Raiden Mei, the third Herrscher.

Moreover, the Second Herrscher who had not yet fully awakened was also in their camp.

But she was not the timid type. Before Lord Yulandel came back, she had to...delay them as much as possible.

..............................

On the other side of the Destiny headquarters, in a secret underground place.

Amber nervously input something on the panel. As she pressed the start button, the frozen body in front of her quickly thawed and returned to normal temperature.

She held something that looked like a USB flash drive in her hand and plugged it into the data interface.

This is the key to activate this body.

Soon, the soul steel body revived and opened his eyes.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, have you regained consciousness?"

Amber asked with concern.

"…I'm fine, Amber. Restore my lost memories to me."

Otto sat up and said to his secretary.

——This body is one of the few functional bodies that is not connected to his cloud network. Its activation also means that he has been almost forced into a desperate situation.

"I'm sorry, Bishop. All networks in the Destiny Headquarters are now paralyzed. We are unable to load your memory."

As Amber explained, she gave Otto a rough account of what had happened previously.

——He was attacked and killed by Mingyu in public, and under the influence of some force, all Otto individuals under the cloud network died.

"..."

Otto was silent for a while, then said to Amber:

"You go out first, Amber, and find a safe place to hide first."

"But, Bishop..."

"This is an order, go quickly."

After watching the girl who looked exactly like Kallen leave, a golden Rubik's Cube slowly appeared next to the blond man.

It shook its body and said:

"If I hadn't preserved your soul, you would have died completely in that blow just now, Otto."

The moment the Jizo Soul hit Otto, it made a quick decision, recovered Otto's soul into the Key of God, and quickly left the body.

After following Amber here, it returned Otto's soul to this body, thus helping him escape the fate of death.

"...I have to thank you, my old friend."

Otto stood up, closed his eyes, and recalled the moment he was attacked:

"What ability is that?"

"That weapon is not recorded in my library, but judging from its effect... it is very likely the ability of the twelfth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Corrosion, that is... the [Twelfth Divine Key]."

"……Ah."

Hearing this, Otto chuckled for no apparent reason.

Of course he was not unfamiliar with this thing. After all, this thing played a very important role in Kallen's tragedy.

However, when he and Kallen lived five hundred years ago, it was just called the "Black Box".
