Pochi-chan, I used to be a princess.

Integula gnashed his teeth and said, "Kill the enemy on sight! Kill the enemy on sight! Kill the enemy on sight! Your servant, I have given the order, no change. Defeat all forces hostile to us, crush all obstacles, and keep moving forward, no matter who the enemy is, no matter what we encounter, no matter who it is, no matter... who the opponent is."

[Integula repeats the command sadly.]

The Major exclaimed joyfully, "Ah, it's said, it's said at last, it's said, it's said!"

[Acardo stood up and smiled grimly: "Yes, my master."]

Walter said happily, "Great! You are indeed a former master worthy of my service."

Integra lowered his head and angrily said, "I no longer want to hear what happened and why. You are my enemy, Heellsing's enemy, Britain's enemy. You must be defeated and destroyed."

The Major's words of praise came from above: "Well said! Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, I'm truly sorry to have called you a battlefield virgin. I won't say that again. You've finally become my enemy, a powerful and influential force who must be defeated. You're my formidable and distinguished nemesis."

[The Nacui airship made an emergency landing in the city, the hull opened, and the few remaining vampire soldiers marched out.]

Chapter 178 Death vs. Vampire

"Fate has dealt the cards. Come, let's fight it out."

"Third Reich, we sincerely welcome you."

The Major and Warrant Officer Schrodinger extended their invitations. Intergula walked towards the airship without saying a word.

Akado turned his back to Integra: "Go ahead, go ahead, kill as much as you can, and put an end to all this."

[Integula turned his head: "Ah, I'm leaving."]

[Silas shouted to Akado in bewilderment: "Master."]

Akado said, "Go, Silas. The lord must be accompanied by his followers. Go and end that man's long dream, a dream that has lasted for 55 years. Dawn is coming, and I will end the long night with this man."

Silas looked at Walter and suddenly shouted, "Mr. Walter, um, this may sound strange, um, thank you for your care so far. Please take care of yourself."

Walter was surprised, then smiled slightly: "You too."

Silas opened his mouth in surprise, but Intergula's voice came at this moment: "Hurry up."

Silas hurriedly followed: "Yes!"

Integula stepped onto the lowered ramp of the airship, drew his rapier, and said in a deep voice, "Walter, farewell, farewell, farewell, and then die."

[Intergula strode towards the airship, Silas following closely behind.]

Hirasawa Yui was confused: "Did the housekeeper betray me?"

Tian Zhongli scratched his head. "I don't understand. I don't understand. The butler's feelings towards Silas and Integra seem to have not changed."

Kotobuki Tsumugi tilted her head and thought for a moment: "The butler likes Silas and Intergula, but not Akado?"

Akiyama Mio said, "This doesn't seem to conflict. Maybe the butler has a grudge against Akado, and he asked Intergula to wake up Akado just to get revenge?"

Nakano Azusa nodded and said seriously: "Mio-senpai's words make sense. After all, the butler's original purpose was to wake up Akado, but he never knew how to kill Akado, so he endured it until now."

Hirasawa Yui lay on the table and sighed. How could someone who had lived with him for more than ten years have been harboring hatred in his heart?

Just thinking about this kind of thing makes me feel tired and scared.

Tian Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest and couldn't help but say, "Really? Is there anything that can't be said calmly? Why do you have to make such a fuss? It's not like the relationship is really broken."

Akiyama Mio looked at Tiananaka Ritsu silently.

How dare you say such things?

Who was the one who got mad at me because I became friends with my classmates?!

Warrant Officer Schrodinger welcomes Intergula and Silas at the airship entrance: "Welcome, sisters."

[Integula fired without hesitation, hitting Warrant Officer Schrodinger squarely in the head and knocking him down.]

[Intergula mutters to himself: "These are all Joker's cards. Let's end them all. Call."]

[Acardo and Walter looked at each other and said provocatively: "They are a group of good women, right? They are already mine. They belong only to me, my lovely master, my subordinates who only love me. They no longer belong to you."]

Thousands of bats let out sharp cries and flew in from all directions, surrounding the battlefield between the two opposing forces.

Walter said nothing as he released the silk thread and rushed towards Akado. The sharp silk thread tore the surrounding bats into pieces.

Akado laughed and said, "Are you angry? God of Death, be angry, be angry. This foolish dance between us is about to end today. Enjoy it!"

[Acardo swung his palm towards Walter's face, and when it was about to hit him, Acardo's palm stopped.]

Walter's silk thread had already entangled his body. He was like a butterfly caught in a spider's web. Walter exerted force and Accardo's arm was torn off.

[His arm regenerated quickly, and Walter's silk thread wrapped around Akado's legs again. He swung the silk thread, restraining Akado and throwing him into the surrounding high-rise buildings. The silk thread penetrated the buildings like a laser.]

Walter gripped the silk thread tightly with both hands, and the stretched silk thread connected to the roof: "You said it before, right? Immortal monsters don't exist. That statement is very true. Now it doesn't exist. I will keep killing you until I die."

The huge black dog lunges forward. Walter raises two fingers and says, "Black Dog Baskerville."

The giant black dog was split in half from head to tail, its body shattered into a mass of blood. Walter said coldly, "Stop barking, mongrel. So, what's next? What's going on, Vampire Akado?"

Blood fell in front of Walter, and the upward surge revealed a pistol. However, before the gun could be fired, it exploded. Walter tugged at the silk thread with his fingers and sneered, "Have you forgotten who made that gun? It was used to knock down Anderson, wasn't it? I'm not Anderson."

[The doctor inside the airship took out the remote control and pressed a button. A figure crawled out from Akado's blood.]

[The Major said, "Oh, it's that guy, uh, who was it? That, that, brother's..."]

The doctor reminded him, "It's Luke, Warrant Officer Luke Valentine. He looks like he was bitten by a dog. The dog died, and the dominance changed, and that guy appeared."

Luke crawled out of the blood and shouted in panic, "What's happening? What happened? What on earth happened?"

Walter's thread answered him, nimbly piercing Luke's body. "I didn't expect you to show up, Luke Valentine. If you're still a Nacui soldier, fight for me."

Walter tried to command Luke to fight, but just as he was about to do so, his fingers began to tremble. "My body... can't hold on any longer. Is it already gone? No! I've willingly rebelled, willingly become like this."

[Acardo's body gathered together again, and he stood opposite Walter, panting.]

[Walter roared, swung the thread, and controlled Luke to smash towards Akado.]

[Acardo controlled the demon dog and bit it: "It's you, you're so hard to digest. You haven't even been digested into feces yet."]

[Luke was bitten by the demon dog and controlled by the silk thread. He threw a dagger at Akado and shot it into Akado's body. This could be considered as revenge for himself.]

Chapter 179 Rejuvenation

Unable to withstand the intense battle, Walter half-knelt on the ground, coughing blood into his palms, and paranoidly muttered to himself: "No, no, not yet, I can't die yet, no, I haven't defeated Akado yet."

In the airship's command room, the doctor said, "As expected, because they didn't have much time, they resorted to some reckless tactics against him."

The major gazed at the big screen and spoke passionately, "No, we've given that man everything we could give, and taken everything we could take from him. Our lives, our lords, our trust, our loyalty—even if we staked it all, it wouldn't be enough. So, even we, the rogues, lent him the money, even if it were paid at the rooster's crow, at a crushing interest rate. Fifty years have passed. That man risked everything to face that Acardo, just like we, risking everything for a single night's victory. Fate has already shrunk the cards. The casino only opens once, and the outcome is only once. Our opponent is the Joker, so what are you, Walter?"

Walter forced himself to stand up and continued to attack Akado.

[Left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg. Walter tore Acardo apart with silk thread, leaving only his upper body and head hanging in the air.]

Walter knelt on the ground exhausted, panting heavily. He urged himself, "Hurry up and take this guy's heart."

Walter stood up, pulled out an iron rod from the side, staggered towards Akado, and stabbed the iron rod into Akado's heart.

[Acardo smiled contemptuously, and Walter was shocked: "No, this guy... is not..."]

[Acardo's face changed, and the person who appeared in front of Walter was not Acardo at all, but Luke.]

Miyamoto Rei complained: "It's always like this."

Jing Haoyong smiled and said, "This is the willfulness of the undead, isn't it? Every battle must be lost before it can be turned around."

Takagi Saya pondered: "The butler can no longer hold on, but Akado is still fine. How is the Major going to eliminate Akado? There is no way this can be won."

It would be fine if Anderson succeeded, but if Anderson failed, the only fighting force left was the butler, and the butler was now at a disadvantage. How could he win?

In any case, Saya Takagi couldn't figure out how the Major could win.

Komuro Takashi suddenly said: "I have a bold idea."

Takagi Saya asked, "Oh? What is it?"

Komuro Takashi said, "The Major is not Hirano-san. The protagonist of this Akashic Record is Hirano-san. General Pewood is suspected to be Hirano-san. Could it be that General Pewood is the final winner? He is not actually dead."

Gao Chengshaye said in surprise: "Your guess is too bold! Didn't Perwood blow himself up?"

Komuro Takashi said, "Immortality and spatial transfer are all superpowers revealed by this Akashic Record."

Saya Takagi couldn't help but think about this.

The Akashic Records have a history of misleading people, so it's possible that the Major was just throwing a smokescreen.

Jing Haoyong couldn't help but sigh: "Aren't you thinking too much? Don't get yourself confused. Perwood is a good person, and Hirano-san is also a good person. They are not warmongers."

Saya Takagi and Takashi Komuro reacted at the same time.

Yes, they initially decided that the real man, Perwood, was Hirano because Hirano was not a warmonger like the major. Why are they going back to the beginning now?

A hand rested on Walter's shoulder, and a voice came from behind him: "Yes, you are wrong. What a pity! I thought there was nothing left. I didn't expect that the half-eaten bait was also delicious."

Walter turned his head and was punched in the face, throwing him several meters away.

[Acardo, in his youthful form, walked towards Walter. "What's wrong? Man in Black, stand up. You can't just beg for mercy after getting punched, kid. Because you became a vampire through unorthodox means, you can't regenerate or recover. Your body is constantly wearing out. Now, what will happen to you? You can't maintain this body anymore, the one you looked like in your prime. So, what will happen? Will you turn back into the old man you were before? No, or rather, turn back into a little ghost."]

Walter's body begins to rejuvenate, from a young man to a teenager.

The adult from the Black Organization was dumbfounded.

Rejuvenation? What he'd been chasing for a century was just a side effect of vampirism?

The adult couldn't help but start to ponder.

According to the current rules, every time the Akashic Record ends, the specialties of the previous round will appear in this world.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if I could become a vampire that is not afraid of sunlight.

Rather, it would be great if it could succeed.

[Acardo greets him: "Hey, Walter, 60 years."]

Walter saw that Accardo also looked like a teenager and asked angrily, "What do you mean by this? Stop joking!"

[Acardo laughed, "I'm not joking. You're the funny one. I'm just playing along. It's like a child's play. Image means nothing to me. I should have said that 60 years ago. Besides, I even know exactly why you betrayed me. You have such a bad memory, kid. There's nothing surprising about this. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, it's just a fight between children. That's why we're all children. Me too, you too. This is the essence of struggle. You can't become your true self unless you defeat your opponent. You'll do anything to achieve this goal, even degrading yourself. Yes, I was like that 500 years ago, and you are like that now, as is Anderson, and that major."]

[Young Walter appears on the screen, a young man holding a cigarette and waving a silk thread, rushing to the Major and being defeated miserably by the werewolf captain.]

[Acardo said: "You want to fight me, right? If you don't do this, you won't be able to move forward at all, right? You don't even know how to move forward, right? Is it terrible to be useless? Is it terrible to grow old? Is it terrible to be forgotten? John Bull, don't be ridiculous. It's you who is ridiculous. You are just a little kid, a skinny little kid who hasn't changed at all since 60 years ago."]

Walter glared at Accardo angrily. Accardo sneered, "Come on, you little brat."

[At this moment, the airship suddenly exploded, and Walter looked over worriedly.]

Akado smiled calmly and said, "You've gone too far, my master, my servant. If this continues, we'll all go bankrupt. So, let's wait and see what happens next. This boring opening is over, and the HELLSING climax is here!"

Chapter 180 Werewolf Captain

Explosions continued to rip through Intergula's back. She walked down the airship's corridor, never turning back, no matter how intense the explosions were.

[A group of vampire soldiers appeared from the front, raising their submachine guns and firing bullets at Integra.]

Intergula walked forward without changing his expression. Silas extended his bloody hand, blocking the attack for Intergula, and then defeated the vampire soldiers in front of him.

A surviving vampire soldier asked with a smile, "What are you waiting for? Your death and mine? Our death?"

[Silas showed no mercy and used his bloody hands to kill the vampire soldiers.]

[Integula said: "They all died with a smile on their faces. Yes, they came here to die."]

Silas said angrily, "Do you really want to die? Do you really want to die? Just go ahead and die! You should have died 50 years ago!"

[A voice from the wall came out: "That's not right, miss. Simply dying is absolutely not an option. We are all hopeless. The whole world thinks that we have no need to exist. The whole world wants to forget us completely. But you have to know that our existence is necessary for us. We hate dying for no reason. This is the most disgusting thing!

We have something more important than death, more important, even more important. This is why we are here, to postpone death. There will be more, there must be more. There must be a place for battle, there must be an enemy to fight. The world is big, full of threats and wonders, wars and cannon fodder are everywhere. There must be many more sacrifices in this world that are more needed than death.

We die to pursue something, something we need more of. Otherwise, we won't be able to go any further into the realm of infinity. That's why we can't die. That's why you're so pitiful. You only have that value. You're great, the Knights of the Royal Church. HELLSING, you're worth dying for us. You exist to be killed by us."

[Accompanying the Major's announcement, the werewolf Captain Bell appeared in front of Silas. Bell remained silent and stared at Silas.]

Silas said solemnly, "Lord Integula, please leave first."

[Integula shouts: "Silas!"]

Silas said, "Hurry up and go to the major. That man can't say another word."
