"Tesla, calm down."
At this moment, the leader of the alliance, Walter, finally spoke up and pushed Tesla aside.
"Herrscher of the Sea, you didn't suddenly appear just to utter these sarcastic remarks, did you?"
"Hmm~"
Xingyue slowly nodded and smiled.
"See, the leader of Anti-Entropy is the most reasonable one, unlike that hot-tempered, brainless, and fiery older single woman..."
"You~"
Tesla stared at her with the most vicious gaze, wishing he could bite her to death.
Upon hearing this, Walter, who was standing to the side, flashed a cold light on his glasses.
They had already discussed this before; it seemed that the Herrscher of the Sea knew the identities of all of them.
It now appears that she possessed some kind of hacking skill and obtained the information by hacking into the database.
Now, the road ahead is going to be even more difficult! Dealing with a Herrscher who is both capable and powerful.
big head.
While she was lost in thought, Tesla had already been pulled aside by Einstein, and the blue-haired older girl covered her mouth to prevent her from making a sound.
After doing all this, she nodded to the leader of the alliance.
Xingyue also saw Tesla being pinned to the side through the screen and secretly chuckled while covering her mouth.
Tesla captured the image on the screen again, and she struggled even more fiercely.
"Cough cough~"
Walter coughed twice, bringing the atmosphere to a close.
The expression on Xingyue's face on the screen gradually calmed down.
"This time, I can only say that you tricked me first, trying to overwhelm me with sheer numbers, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic."
The girl with frizzy hair paused for a moment, then stretched out her two palms and said in a serious tone.
"Considering fate, I can only give you a maximum of six spots, no more, no less. Once you've made your decision, I'll have the Honkai Beasts clear a path for you."
"otherwise……"
Xingyue snorted coldly, her tone carrying a threat.
"Then you can try it out and see who's stronger in a war of attrition."
"However, I must remind you..."
The girl's next words weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
"My Judgment-class Honkai Beasts haven't even made their appearance yet! Do you think they'll show up to clean up the mess when you're all exhausted?"
Chapter Twelve: Six Candidates Confirmed
The expressions of everyone present changed instantly, and they felt a chill run down their spines.
Judgment-class Honkai Beasts, what are they?
Does that mean there's more than one?
They knew the combat power of the Judgment-class Honkai Beasts. Whether it was Chi You or Benares, they were equivalent to a mid-level S-class Valkyrie-level Honkai Beast.
If there are several of these beings, they will attack from different directions.
hiss~
I really can't imagine what will happen to their defenses.
Seriously, how did you manage to command so many Honkai Beasts? Even a Herrscher couldn't do that, right? Besides, Herrschers never pay attention to Honkai Beasts; how could they possibly have the time to distract themselves and command them?
unless……
Walter paused, suddenly recalling a few key words uttered by the Herrscher of the Sea during her confrontation with several factions in the video.
"I'm just a passing planetary-level Honkai Beast."
Do you have any opinions about Honkai Beasts?
Capable of commanding Judgment-class Honkai Beasts and possessing immense power himself, could he be a Dharma-ending level being?
No.
Walter shook his head, denying his own thoughts. Even a level-one being of this strength couldn't defeat Durandal with such complete suppression. This was something even he couldn't do.
In the end, the only remaining answer was the planetary Honkai Beast that the girl herself claimed to be.
Even considering all the information and data obtained from previous civilizations, no precedent has been found. Simply put, there is no such hierarchy in history.
and many more!
Walter then thought about it again.
Planetary level, planet?
Does it mean the body is as large as a planet?
Walter's heart skipped a beat, and he got goosebumps all over.
Clearly, he was terrified by the sudden, terrifying thought that had popped into his head.
However, as a leader, he quickly regained his composure.
The truth will soon be revealed: friend or foe, the identity of the girl with the sea hair. Now, there's no need for him to scare himself anymore.
After letting out a soft breath, Walter calmly looked up at the beautiful young girl on the screen.
"Okay, I promise you, we'll only bring six people."
Xingyue, of course, had no idea what the others were thinking. She simply observed the changing expressions of the people present with her stardust-like, watery eyes.
Tesla and Einstein's expressions were particularly interesting when they heard that there were still Judgment-class Honkai Beasts lurking around.
She found it very enjoyable.
Although Walter didn't show any major change in expression, Xingyue felt that he was just not showing it, and the psychological impact was probably quite significant.
After hearing Walter agree to the terms, Xingyue smiled sideways.
"Okay, you should have done this earlier! You wasted so much of my energy, and now it will take me a long time to recover."
At the end of the video call, Xingyue sighed and grumbled in dissatisfaction.
After hanging up the phone, Xingyue set up a parasol on the island formed by her body, then moved a round table with various drinks on it.
Wendy thoughtfully brought over a chair and placed it behind the haired girl.
And so, a vacation-like life began, filled with drinks and sunshine.
Currently, her body is composed of only her most crucial core organs, preventing her from unleashing her full power. She can only be considered to have about half of her peak strength.
However, it's still more than enough to deal with six people.
In truth, it's all those people's fault for insisting on using a human wave tactic, which resulted in them wasting so much of their own resources.
Did you know that she wasted a full one percent of her energy in order to create those Honkai Beasts, including the Judgment-class ones?
That's a full one percent! That's an incredible number. Even if her body could absorb Honkai energy on its own, it would still take a whole day to recover. What does that even mean?
Xingyue suddenly felt like she had been ripped off...
Meanwhile, the members of Anti-Entropy began analyzing the last thing the girl said when she ended the video call.
"So much of my energy wasted? How long will it take to recover?"
Ai Yin slowly analyzed the situation, her eyes suddenly lighting up.
"Does this mean that the girl who calls herself the Herrscher of the Sea is currently in a weakened state due to consuming so much energy?"
"I think so too."
Tesla, having calmed down, also chimed in.
"After all, these Honkai Beasts appeared out of nowhere to target us. They were most likely created by her. Creating a million Honkai Beasts must have been incredibly taxing on her, leaving her exhausted, right?"
"So, Yang, let's quickly find the people from Destiny and join forces to launch a swift attack!"
"Strike while the iron is hot; we can't miss this opportunity."
Tesla said excitedly to Walter.
Walter did not answer, but simply rested his chin on his hand in deep thought.
If she truly had entered a period of weakness, why was she so confident in inviting her own top combat forces to confront her?
One possibility is that the girl is arrogant.
If that's the case, then she's not a threat.
But another possibility is that this Herrscher of the Sea is both intelligent and brave.
If that's the case, then what she just said was very likely a smokescreen she deliberately left behind.
Walter himself remained vigilant. After pausing to ponder, he took Ein and Tesla to see Otto and recounted what had just happened.
Sure enough, Otto's first thought was the same: that last sentence was likely a smokescreen thrown at them by the girl.
All things considered, creating so many Honkai Beasts did indeed place a heavy burden on her. But the girl contacted them again ten hours later, meaning that during that time, she had likely recovered most of her power.
They absolutely cannot let their guard down.
After making this judgment, everyone present skipped the topic and started discussing who should go.
"I have to go."
Bianca stepped forward first.
"I am that guy's key target."
"Um?"
Everyone turned their puzzled gazes toward them.
They readily agreed to Durandal's departure, but what about the important target?
Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Durandal smiled slightly.
"As she left, she asked me whether she wanted to become Durandal or Kiana."
"I'm going there this time to give her my answer."
Upon hearing this, Theresa's eyes widened.
"You, Durandal Kiana?"
"Um!"
Bianca turned and gave the white-haired girl a knowing smile.
“That’s right, I am Mr. Siegfried and Cecilia’s biological daughter, but I lost my memory in an accident and have no memory of what happened before.”
"According to our status, Ms. Theresa, I should call you Auntie."
"What? Kiana...she's still alive..."
Theresa's voice trembled slightly.
She looked at Otto with inquisitive eyes, and after Otto gave her a look of approval, Theresa burst into tears of joy and eagerly stepped forward to take Durandal's hand.
"That's wonderful. If Siegfried knew that his biological daughter was still alive..."
Theresa wiped away her tears and then looked at Otto earnestly.
“Grandpa, I must go on this mission too. As the headmaster, I cannot abandon any student at St. Freya.”
"okay."
Otto answered without changing his expression.
He looked at Walter.
"On the Anti-Entropy side, only I need to go there; Ein and Tesla will be in charge of command."
