Boom!
The several floating islands that made up Schicksal Headquarters ultimately all crash-landed in the diterranean Sea.
For a mont, towering waves surged, and the earth shook.
The several floating islands were all shattered.
At this mont, the "Domination Puppet: Ling ke," who had previously made the three major organizations believe that they were truly bound by the Thousand Realms, was suspended in mid-air using the most basic Herrscher ability of flight.
Beside him stood the silver-haired, blue-eyed man—Kevin Kaslana, actually standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
What exactly had happened before this mont?
Buzz~
High above, on the deck of a massive floating battleship, orange-yellow light flickered continuously.
One after another, people in white lab coats or special combat attire appeared.
They were all permanent staff of Schicksal Headquarters.
There were scholars, soldiers, and active Valkyries.
Finally...
"Buzz~"
A peculiarly shaped train engine landed with a crash.
That was the Second Divine Key—Eternal Key·Thousand Realms.
"They sure know how to quickly make the right judgnt in a crisis."
In mid-air, the "Domination Puppet: Ling ke" muttered to himself.
However, his tone was full of mockery.
All because...
"Out of the tens of thousands of staff mbers stationed at the Schicksal Headquarters, less than a thousand were saved."
Inside the Dominion Theater, Ling ke's true body smiled slightly, "It seems soone is going to bla themselves... and suffer."
"What a pity..."
Just as he had thought before, similar incidents happening a few more tis... even if they continued in the future, it wouldn't be enough to "break their hearts."
It would only add to the hatred value of humanity.
That's not what Ling ke wanted.
Look...
"You bastard!"
On the deck of the Hyperion, Dr. Tesla, upon seeing the "Domination Puppet: Ling ke" suspended in mid-air not far away, was still the first to burst into a loud curse.
As for the others...
"This is troubleso!"
Otto was more concerned about the figure standing next to the "Domination Puppet: Ling ke."
"Why did Kevin Kaslana suddenly defect?"
He couldn't figure it out.
But in his mind, he vaguely felt that he had already caught so clues, but... they had all been ignored by him.
At this mont...
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
In the sky, a fire suddenly appeared.
Instantly, everyone on the deck of the Hyperion was drawn to it.
"That, that is..."
Durandal, Bronya, even "Kiana" and Raiden i all widened their eyes.
That was... a shooting star from the heavens.
A giant teorite!
"Everyone!"
In the distance, in mid-air, the "Domination Puppet: Ling ke" flew to an even higher position.
With his hands spread open, like an elegant announcer, he smiled and said, "At this mont of Stars Fall, I will present to the world the grandest performance of this era."
"The prologue has begun!"
"Fear! Wail!"
"And then..."
"Struggle desperately to resist!"
"Perhaps, you (humanity) still have a glimr of hope."
At this point, before anyone on the Hyperion could react.
Buzz~
A spatial gate opened.
But it wasn't a gate leading to the Dominion Theater.
Instead, it was a long-distance portal opened by the "Domination Puppet: Ling ke" using the authority of the "Herrscher of the Void" he had previously plundered.
As he entered it, Kevin followed.
"Wait!"
Witnessing this scene, Durandal could no longer hold back.
At this mont, wearing the "Bright Knight: Excelsis" Valkyrie armor, she leaped up, trying to stop the two from leaving.
However...
Click~
The spatial gate disappeared too quickly.
The "Domination Puppet: Ling ke" and Kevin both vanished from the spot.
Durandal was too late.
At this mont...
"Bronya has tracked the coordinates of that spatial gate's opening."
It must be said that Bronya's progress is really fast.
Previously, her efficiency in adapting to changing circumstances was not as good as Tesla and Einstein.
But now, after just a short while, while others were still confused, Bronya had already used the Thousand Realms beside her to retrieve important information that was of great value to her.
In fact, the reason they were able to save hundreds of people just as Schicksal Headquarters was about to fall was precisely because Bronya borrowed the space-shifting power of the Second Divine Key.
Although, out of the tens of thousands of staff mbers, the vast majority couldn't be saved.
But at that ti, it was almost a case of saving whoever they could.
And now...
"Bronya, well done!"
Tesla rarely heard good news, "Where did those two bastards... go?"
"The African continent, the Sahara Desert."
Bronya reported a general location.
Hearing this...
"That's World Serpent's headquarters!"
After Raiden i gave the reminder in a deep voice, he frowned and muttered to himself, "Kevin, why did he suddenly..."
Subconsciously, Raiden i looked at the "abandoned" Raven, Jackal, and... Gray Serpent.
Click~
Unexpectedly, Gray Serpent shutdown his own chanical body.
Clearly, he had no intention of cooperating with their side.
As for Raven and Jackal...
"Don't look at , I'm just a hired hand, I couldn't possibly know what the Lord is thinking."
Raven raised her hands in a very single manner, responding like this.
Jackal's expression was much uglier than hers.
Even though she wore a mask, only the lower half of her face was visible, but it was clear that her mood was absolutely unhappy.
Clearly, knowing that she had been treated as a "pawn," she was far from as accepting as Raven.
But in the end...
Sigh~
Jackal... Cleo Hypatia, let out a long sigh. "It seems my 'retirent' has co earlier than expected."
"Though I didn't think it would be this much earlier."
These cryptic words made no sense to anyone else.
Raiden i also knew that it was unlikely she would get any answers from these two. She turned to the others and spoke bluntly, "No matter why Kevin suddenly turned against us, or what Ling ke is planning, we must stop them."
"Next, I plan to head straight to World Serpent's headquarters... What are your plans?"
Upon hearing this...
Durandal looked up at the fiery streaks in the sky. "We'll handle shooting down those teorites. We absolutely cannot let them hit the ground, or else..."
Or else, the catastrophic disaster that claid tens of millions of lives during the Second Honkai Eruption would repeat itself.
And this ti, it could be even worse.
At this mont, Durandal was already preparing to move.
In truth, if given enough ti, she might have had a slim chance of shooting down all the teorites.
But reality was cruel.
Dozens of teorites, under Ling ke's deliberate arrangent, were already hurtling toward nine different coordinates simultaneously.
These were the nine cities Rita had not chosen.
Faced with this situation, no matter how high Durandal's potential was, she would be stretched too thin to handle it all.
In other words, she now had to make the sa "sacrificial" choice Rita had made earlier.
Fortunately, at that mont...
Welt suddenly interjected. "The teorite problem should be left to us."
"Kevin Kaslana is the strongest MANTIS warrior from the Previous Era."
"Regardless of the reason, now that he has turned against us, only a Valkyrie of your caliber, Durandal, can stand against him and Ling ke."
"And as Raiden i said, we cannot sit idly by and let these two carry out whatever they're planning."
"They are likely executing so highly destructive plan..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Otto, who was standing not far away.
This man had remained completely silent since earlier, as if he had already detached himself from the situation entirely.
Now, with the leaders of the three major organizations—Otto silent, Kevin defected—Welt had no choice but to step up.
He quickly allocated the remaining forces among the three factions.
anwhile, Raiden i summoned Kurikara and rode the dragon forward.
Others tasked with confronting Kevin and Ling ke, such as Kiana, Bronya, Fu Hua, Theresa, and so on, boarded the Hyperion's high-speed ship—Helios.
Helios, the sun god of Greek mythology.
Now, those who boarded this ship...
Would they, like Helios, bring the sun (hope) to the world?
Or...
When Helios' chariot passed through the sky, would what follow...
Be eternal night (despair)
