I am a Herrscher of Ice, and I am loved by players.

Anna kept dodging and cursing in her heart. She became increasingly powerless, but this Lava King was so energetic that its light showed no sign of stopping. Even in the game, there was a duration, right?

"It's not good to go on like this."

At this moment, Anna slipped and fell backwards, and a ray of light fell exactly where Anna was just now, but on the contrary, a sharp spike also pierced Anna's thigh, and blood gushed out of the wound.

Anna's face turned pale as she felt a sharp pain coming from her leg. However, her qualities as a Valkyrie prevented her from crying out. But she had really reached her limit.

"No... No, I can't fall here."

Anna struggled to get up from the ground, then quickly pulled out the spike with gritted teeth. Her body shook a bit, and she dodged to the side without having time to steady herself.

A ray of destructive light flashed across the sky, melting away a strand of Anna's hair.

At this moment, another voice sounded in Anna's ears. It was the long-lost system prompt mechanical sound.

"Ding, it has been detected that the character has appeared in the 1.2 version preview. It has received the attention and love of players, and rewards are now being issued."

"Remove the abnormal status of the character according to the character's status."

As the mechanical sound rang out, Anna felt that the fatigue in her body completely disappeared, and even the wound on her leg had completely healed without leaving any scars.

Looking at the Lava Emperor so close at hand, Anna heaved a sigh of relief immediately. She made several consecutive jumps and distanced herself from the Lava Emperor. This way, her life was no longer in danger and she had passed this level.

"Generates a random reward, which the character can choose to refuse."

However, the mechanical sound did not end, but threw out something unexpected.

"Pay attention. Whether you receive it or not will affect the character's future."

Volume 1: Chapter 5: The First Holy Blood, the New Holy Maiden

As the mechanical sound ended, a message was transmitted to Anna's consciousness. That was what the system voice said about the reward for moving forward.

[Shaniat Holy Blood: This is a power that belongs exclusively to the Shaniyat family, a variation that is different from the stigmata, and also a curse. With the awakening of the stigmata and the reproduction of the family, this power is constantly suppressed. If you receive it, you will obtain the complete first-generation Shaniyat Holy Blood. You will surpass the previous Saint Cecilia and become the strongest Saint of Shaniyat! ]

"........."

Anna's eyes flickered, with a hint of struggle and entanglement between her brows.

There is no doubt that this is indeed a reward that is difficult to choose and hard to refuse.

If Anna had been an ordinary Destiny Valkyrie from the beginning to the end, she would have accepted this reward without hesitation, surpassing Cecilia's holy blood level. I believe that no warrior of the Shaniyat family would have a reason to refuse.

However, in the future, Anna will become a Herrscher.

The first generation of Shaniyat Holy Blood is just like the Moonlight Throne, an anti-Honkai weapon designed by the previous civilization. It has a great restraining and transformation effect on Honkai. It is in an opposing state to the Herrscher Core.

Possessing holy blood meant that she was not afraid of the test of the cocoon, but on the other hand, her body would always be in a state of ice and fire.

The final result would most likely be that she exploded and died.

However, it might be possible to achieve symbiosis. After all, Yulandel achieved the unity of opposites between Holy Blood and Holy Marks. If she had Holy Blood at a level that surpassed Yulandel's when she reached Tianyuan, it might not be impossible for her to do it.

There is no doubt that this is a big gamble.

"Never mind, let's talk about the future in the future!"

Anna gritted her teeth and finally chose to receive it. The first generation Shaniyat Holy Blood could help her overcome most of the obstacles before becoming a Herrscher.

The first-generation level of the Holy Blood of Shaniyat, in a sense, even surpasses the God-Slaying Spear developed by Bishop Otto. After all, the God-Slaying Spear also relied on the Holy Blood of Shaniyat.

Moreover, the power of the holy blood can also increase his weight in Otto's eyes. For now, he is a completely dispensable existence to Otto.

Perhaps, others think that there is nothing wrong with being a nobody in Otto's eyes.

However, as far as the world of collapse is concerned, before the Bishop charged for love, he was still in control of everything and was the real chess player, but now, he is not even a chess piece.

If you don't become a pawn, you are not qualified to participate in the main lines related to the development of the collapsed world.

As long as she shows him her strength and loyalty, she believes he will be happy to use her. What's more, she is from the Shaniyat family. A new saint can also boost the morale of Tianming.

As Anna received the reward, an indescribable feeling suddenly covered Anna's whole body. The feeling was very complicated. First it was an unbearable pain, and then it was comfort.

Anna could feel that she was stronger than ever before, and her adaptation and control over Honkai had also reached a new level.

Even though it has mutated, the essence of Shaniyat's Holy Blood is still Honkai, but the effect is similar to the anti-Honkai of the Ruler of Constraint, just like white blood cells.

Anna felt that she could now easily deal with the Lava Emperor, and even defeat the Emperor-level Honkai Beast in the distance. The power of the Holy Blood gave her great confidence.

"Roar--"

The roar of the Lava King came at the right time. Anna had only distanced herself from this guy, but had not really gotten rid of him.

"Humph!"

Anna's thoughts were interrupted by the roar and she snorted coldly.

"I haven't looked for you yet, and now you come to me on your own. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

As she said that, Anna turned around and faced the Lava Emperor. In fact, she could easily fight this thing in her prime. If she had a suitable Honkai weapon, she could kill it even more. Unfortunately, the conditions were limited.

But now it’s different. Although, she still doesn’t have a handy Honkai weapon, but——

Anna lightly scratched her wrist, and bright red blood flowed out. Then, under Anna's control, it turned into a blood-red spear. As the blood flowed out, Anna's face turned pale, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Cecilia had used this move before, but at that time Cecilia had the Black Abyss White Flower as a carrier, but Anna did not.

However, the power of the first generation holy blood is enough for her to control the Honkai energy at will.

Although there is no clear evidence to prove that the Shaniyat family is related to Alicia, the holy blood of Shaniyat is indeed an extremely powerful force.

The Black Abyss and White Flower has always been mastered by the Shanyiat family, so the lance is something that every member of the Shanyiat family must master, and Anna is no exception.

"drink--"

Anna growled, raised the bloody lance in her hand, and charged towards the Lava Emperor.

As the pinnacle of the lower-level Honkai beasts, the Lava King already possesses preliminary intelligence. Facing Anna's bloody lance, it felt threatened.

Flames gathered around it, and a layer of flames also covered its surface, in an attempt to use it as a barrier to block the lances.

But this is nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot for the lance transformed from the first generation of holy blood.

The lance easily penetrated the solid exterior of the Lava Emperor. The moment the lance pierced into the interior of the Lava Emperor, the power of the Holy Blood burst out, instantly decomposing the Honkai Crystals. As the Honkai Crystals were destroyed, the entire Lava Emperor also collapsed.

"Bam—"

Anna casually stuck the gun into the ground, and the Lava King behind her turned into a gorgeous firecracker. Because of the characteristics of lava, it looked no different from fireworks.

However, despite such a beautiful scene, Anna did not look back. Of course, she was still extremely excited in her heart.

This was her first time to truly defeat a powerful Honkai beast independently. Although she had participated in the past, most of the time she acted as a team.

In fact, the Lava Emperor cannot be considered powerful. As long as it is well-equipped, even a B-level Valkyrie can defeat it. As a lower-level Honkai beast, its attack methods are limited and there are not many flexibility. It’s just that Anna did not have an effective means of attack before.

"While we still have the strength, let's kill that guy too!"

Anna whispered, looking at the emperor-level Honkai beast raging in the distance. The blood-red lance came from her blood. This power naturally could not be taken back, and she could not maintain it for a long time.

Moreover, she also wanted to know how long this emperor-level Honkai beast could last under her hands!

Humph, things change over time, don’t bully... ahem, the girl is poor!

I! Come for revenge!

Volume 1: Chapter 6—This strike pierces through the stars!

Destiny headquarters, floating island.

In the gorgeously decorated room, a blond man sat leisurely on a chair, holding a goblet in his hand. The deep red wine swayed with the shaking of the glass, and a smile was drawn at the corner of the man's mouth.

The man stared at the illusory screen in front of him, and on the screen was a scene of a white-haired girl fighting, which was Kiana's training performance in the Far East Branch.

It can be said that from the beginning to the end, Kiana or K423 has always been under the control of men.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the sensor door of the room opened. A white-haired girl in a uniform and yellow glasses walked out of the room with a stack of documents in her hand.

"Your Excellency, a message came from Manila that a collapse broke out there, and the stationed Snow Lotus Squad was basically wiped out."

The girl calmly spoke the tragic news. Her voice did not change at all and was free of any emotion, like a robot. Perhaps it was the man's request, or perhaps she had become numb.

"Well, let's follow the plan."

The man said calmly, and stopped asking about the matter, seemingly not taking it seriously.

In fact, it does.

Although the collapse of Manila was not what Otto expected, it was not beyond his control. As for the Snow Lotus Squad? Let them be annihilated.

To Otto, the Valkyrie is just like the mechas of Anti-Entropy, they are just consumables and not worth mentioning.

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

The white-haired secretary responded, walked out with the documents in his arms, and then followed the bishop's request to implement the relevant plan.

The Snow Lotus Team is also an elite team. The annihilation of such a team means that the opponent is at least a Honkai Emperor, most likely an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, and of course it could also be a Judgment-level one.

So in terms of process, there are two options. One is to send out other elite teams, and the other is to directly dispatch the S-level Valkyrie.

In addition, because the Valkyrie Squad was completely wiped out and the local defense force was insufficient, Tianming would also send out regular troops.

As for the two options just mentioned, Amber, the bishop's secretary, finally chose to send out the S-class Valkyrie.

The ability to dispatch S-class Valkyries is based on two reasons.

The first is that there happen to be two S-class Valkyries without any missions at the headquarters, and the second is that one of the S-class Valkyries is a good friend of the deputy captain of the Valkyrie team that was wiped out.

Yes, Bianca and Anna were good friends, although not to the extent of Bianca and Rita, but they were indeed partners who had trained and fought together.

After learning that Bianca had returned to headquarters, Anna wrote to Bianca to reminisce about the past.

However, for this reason, Amber did not tell Bianca the details of Manila, and soon, Bianca set off...

Manila, the epicenter of the collapse.

Anna, holding a blood-qi lance, slowly walked towards the Honkai beast entrenched here. This was a huge Honkai beast, and its appearance was similar to that of Pavani, also known as the Ice Pig.

Pavanti was also an emperor-level Honkai beast, and it was the B-level Valkyrie Theresa who defeated him.

However, those who understand know how much water there is in this B-level Valkyrie. With this configuration of a fusion warrior's physique + the key of restraint, you can easily beat the emperor-level Honkai beast, or even the judgment-level Honkai beast in the pre-civilization era.

You're asking about the end of the law level? Come on, that was Theresa's first time in battle, after all, how could she have the fighting qualities of a hero?

However, compared to Pavani, the guy in front of him was obviously more violent. The surrounding area had been turned into scorched earth, and his energy was still increasing.

This guy is not inferior to Parvanti in strength. For now, let's name him Durga.

However, facing it, Anna showed no fear at all, and went straight forward with her lance wielding. Possessing the first generation holy blood, she was in a sense similar to a Herrscher.

The only difference is that the Herrscher has endless power and can continuously obtain Honkai energy from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers through the core, while Anna's Honkai energy has an upper limit.

To give an example, the power of Anna and the Herrscher is a pool, and the water is released using the same faucet, but Anna's pool is a real pool, while the Herrscher's pool is the sea. However, in terms of short-term output threshold, Anna is not inferior to the initial Herrscher.

As long as the Honkai Beast has not entered the Judgment Level, the output of the Normal Law User will completely crush the Honkai Beast.

Sensing Anna approaching, Durga roared, then gathered her body and transformed it into a huge fireball, protected by the outer shell of flames.

This move is considered the signature move of the Ice Pig Pavanti in the game, and it further represents that Durga is indeed not much different from Pavanti, except that the damage of fire is more terrifying than that of ice.

Durga turned into a fireball and bounced up like a ball, then smashed straight towards Anna.

Anna's eyes focused and she raised the blood-red lance in her hand. Blood-red patterns were drawn on Anna's back, covering the original artificial stigmata and forming a blood-red stigmata glowing red.

Due to the special nature of the Shaniyat family, the Shaniyat family does not possess the stigmata. This is because the power of the stigmata has long been transformed into holy blood and exists in the bloodline of the Shaniyat family.

But in order to improve their combat effectiveness, the warriors of the Shaniyat family still underwent the transplantation of artificial stigmata, which made the members of the Shaniyat family more talented and stronger than ordinary Valkyries.

And if a familiar captain from outside the world saw this bloody stigma, he would probably be able to tell that it was the Ice Herrscher suit.

The selection of the Herrschers of Honkai is actually basically determined. Although some changes have occurred due to the previous civilization, if these changes have not occurred, with the Herrscher's power locked, the future Herrschers will most likely still be those people.

So, in a sense, Anna is also destined to become the Herrscher of Ice.

As for Chen Tianwu...it's not clear. There aren't many records about the Herrscher of the Stars in the materials of previous civilizations, so there's no way of knowing whether the previous Herrscher of the Stars looked like him.

"drink--"

Anna shouted loudly and threw the lance in her hand. At the moment when the lance was about to slip out of her hand, a huge amount of Honkai energy was injected into the lance from Anna's body, making the lance itself glow with a dazzling red light.

In an instant, just like a rainbow piercing the sun, the lance pierced towards the coiled Durga with unparalleled momentum.

Even Anna subconsciously held her breath. She didn't know how powerful this shot was. Perhaps it was possible to penetrate the stars?

Volume 1: Chapter 7 - Unsent Reply

Six hours had passed since the Manila Collapse outbreak, and the support from Tianming had finally arrived.

As a floating battleship landed at the agreed location, a blonde girl wearing a blue and white Valkyrie armor jumped down, and then looked around anxiously, but there were only refugees who took refuge there.
