Compared to Otto and Kiana, Fu Hua trusts Kiana more.
Kiana finished her ice cola and tossed the empty bottle into the nearby trash can.
"Aunt Hiko, Class President, I'm going to find Stelle to play~"
With that, Kiana waved goodbye to the two of them and was about to leave.
At that mont!
A sharp warning alarm sounded, and Theresa's voice ca through the broadcast.
"Canghai City is experiencing a Honkai outbreak! Kiana, Hiko, Fu Hua, hurry to the square to assemble and depart!"
Kiana, Hiko, and Fu Hua imdiately ran toward the square.
When they arrived, Theresa, i, and Bronya were already waiting.
Kiana waved from a distance.
"Auntie! i! We're here!"
Teresa, seeing the three of them arrive, said urgently.
"We need to go support Canghai City. A high concentration of Honkai reactions has been detected there.
Let's go!"
With that, Theresa headed toward the battleship.
At that mont, a voice was heard.
"i, are you all heading out?"
Theresa, i, and the others looked over and saw Xiangling and Guoba walking toward them.
Guoba was carrying a clay pot.
Theresa was confused.
"Xiangling? What are you doing here?"
Xiangling smiled as she walked closer.
"I made too much fish soup and thought I'd bring so to you. Are you heading out?"
i answered.
"There's a disaster happening here, and we need to go provide support."
Xiangling thought for a mont.
"A disaster? You ntioned sothing about Honkai, right?"
i nodded.
"Yes, Xiangling. Thanks for the fish soup, but you should head back. We need to fight."
Xiangling looked at them with concern.
"Shouldn't I help? My shooting skills are pretty good!"
Guoba, standing next to her, also put his hands on his hips and barked a few tis, as if to say he could help too.
i shook her head.
"Thank you, Xiangling, but the Honkai beasts are very dangerous. It'd be bad if you got hurt."
Hearing this, Xiangling gave up on the idea.
"Alright, I'll head back then. When you all return, rember to stop by the train. I'll keep the fish soup for you!"
Teresa and the others laughed and promised.
Soon, Theresa and the team boarded the battleship and headed toward Canghai City.
At Ye Yun's shop.
The only ones eating were the train crew, Stellaron Hunters, the six little ones, Ye Yun, along with Topaz, Jade, and Clara.
Xiangling and Guoba walked out of the portal. Ye Yun noticed the clay pot Guoba was carrying.
"Didn't you bring fish soup to i and the others? What's this?"
Xiangling explained.
"Canghai City had a Honkai outbreak, and they didn't have ti to eat, so I brought it back."
Stelle spoke up.
"Honkai outbreak? Is that the one Kiana ntioned with all the monsters?"
Xiangling nodded.
"Yeah, what about it?"
Stelle imdiately put down her bowl, took out the Judgnt of Shamash, and said.
"Of course we should help! Follow , Firefly, March."
March 7th took out the Hou Yi Bow and followed Stelle into the portal.
Firefly also took out her transformation device and followed.
Hiko, Welt, and Dan heng stood up.
Kafka put down her bowl.
"Bladie."
Blade nodded slightly.
"Hmm."
Kafka and Blade followed, while Silver Wolf reluctantly tagged along, since she had been planning to play a ga.
Ye Yun called out to Rios.
"Rios, let's go check things out. We'll stay and watch over Kiana and the others."
Ye Yun and Rios, along with the six little ones, entered the portal.
Topaz looked at Jade
Jade thought for a mont.
"Let's go too. You ssage Aventurine and tell him to co tomorrow."
Topaz pulled out her phone and sent a ssage to Aventurine. Soon, she got a reply.
"Done."
Jade nodded.
"Let's go, Little Jelena. We'll help our friends."
In less than a minute, the shop beca empty, leaving only Xiangling and Guoba.
Xiangling looked around, thought for a mont, and decided to head to Liyue to call people.
Soon, she found the cashier Zhongli, the surveillance room's Nahida, the idle Calestia, the boss Hu Tao, the staff Huo Huo, and the outsourced repairman Xianyun at the internet cafe.
Xiangling, running too fast, was out of breath.
Zhongli saw this and asked.
"Xiangling, what's going on?"
Xiangling caught her breath.
"Hurry! Kiana and the others are in trouble! We need to go help! I'm here to gather people, Ye Yun and the others have already left."
Zhongli imdiately stood up and used his divine power to take everyone to Wanmin Hall.
After passing through two portals, Zhongli and the group arrived at St. Freya Academy.
At that mont.
Ye Yun and the others, who had arrived earlier, found a battleship and were ready to depart.
Hu Tao imdiately jumped up and waved her hands, drawing Ye Yun's attention.
"Wait for , the head of the hall is going too!"
Silver Wolf, who was responsible for piloting, quickly stopped the engine.
Zhongli looked at the stopped battleship and said.
"Lucky we got here quickly. Let's go, we'll join up with everyone."
Zhongli led the Liyue group aboard the battleship.
Zhongli stood next to Ye Yun.
"What's going on?"
Ye Yun, seeing Zhongli's tense expression, said.
"Relax, it's not a big deal. It's just a disaster here, with a few little monsters."
Zhongli looked at Welt, who nodded, and Zhongli finally relaxed.
Ye Yun poured Zhongli a cup of tea.
"Co, take a sip and calm down."
Walter stood by the window, quietly watching St. Freya Academy below. Everything seed so familiar.
Stelle, Hu Tao, March 7th, Firefly, and Xiangling gathered together, chatting about the fun things they had done in the past few days.
The six little ones were running around the battleship, fascinated by this new type of ship.
Soon, Kiana and the others had arrived over Canghai City.
The battle in Canghai City was fierce. The entire city was filled with smoke, and there were signs of battle everywhere.
Kiana couldn't wait to ask.
"Auntie, can I go now? I'm all ready to show off my power!"
Theresa looked at Kiana.
"Kiana, rember, don't be reckless! Don't be reckless! Don't be reckless! I'm saying this three tis because it's important!"
Kiana saluted.
"Got it!"
Theresa, hearing this, double-checked the communication with the combat headsets before allowing them to depart.
By the hatch, Kiana excitedly gripped the door, looking down at the city.
Once they reached the designated spot, Kiana jumped down.
In mid-air, Kiana shouted.
"Athena Valkyrie Armor! Activate!"
"Kiana! Engage!"
***
Kiana completed the Athena Valkyrie armor attachnt in mid-air.
As she landed, a powerful shockwave crushed the ground, creating a deep pit.
The surrounding Honkai Beasts lost their balance and fell into the pit.
Kiana summoned her spear and spun it around, sweeping 360 degrees.
A holy white light emanated from Kiana's center and spread outward, purifying any Honkai Beasts caught in the light, causing them to disintegrate into thin air.
Kiana was very pleased with her overwhelming display of power.
With her spear in hand, Kiana charged through the city streets, clashing with the Honkai Beasts. Whether they were Assassins or Temple-level Honkai Beasts, she rushed in without hesitation, easily defeating them all.
No one could last even a round against her.
On the warship, Theresa observed Kiana's battle performance at all tis, collecting data to formulate Kiana's future training plan.
Hiko smiled knowingly as she watched Kiana wreak havoc on screen.
"She's definitely put in a lot of effort these past few days."
Theresa nodded in agreent.
"That's true. Our world finally has so hope."
However, Theresa continued, "But Kiana's power is still insufficient. More training is needed."
Hiko nodded as she looked at the screen. Even with Kiana on the battlefield, she could only deal with a small portion of the Honkai Beasts.
This was just a fraction of the army of Honkai Beasts they were facing in this battle.
Two hours later.
The battle between the human forces and the Honkai Beasts reached a fever pitch, with no clear victor.
In the command center, Theresa was busy coordinating the Valkyrie squads.
At that mont, an anomaly appeared on one of the screens.
Theresa quickly checked and found a warship had entered the battlefield.
Just as she was about to investigate the warship's details, the warship's system was hacked, and the entire command room's screens flashed with light.
In the next mont, Silver Wolf appeared on the screen, looking nonchalant.
"It's been a while, Theresa, Hiko."
Theresa was surprised to see Silver Wolf.
"Silver Wolf? How did you get here?"
Silver Wolf explained.
"It's not just , most of us are here. How's the situation on the battlefield? Where do we need to help?"
Theresa thought for a mont.
"There are still many civilians who couldn't evacuate in ti. If you can, please help us rescue them."
Silver Wolf nodded.
"And what else?"
Theresa thought again.
"That's all. Thank you."
Silver Wolf shrugged nonchalantly.
"No problem. Like Ye Yun said, we're all friends. When a friend is in trouble, we'll definitely help out."
After saying this, Silver Wolf ended the call.
On Ye Yun's side.
Silver Wolf broadcasted the rescue of civilians to the team.
Everyone quickly boarded their landing craft.
Hu Tao and Stelle were both excited. As soon as the warship entered the battlefield, they saw countless Honkai Beasts and Assassins.
They couldn't wait to take care of these creatures.
Kafka, sitting in the landing craft, was full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.
It was simple—this was a rescue mission, and their target was civilians, sothing she had never done before.
The Stellaron Hunters' previous missions had always been about wiping out enemy forces at lightning speed.
As the countdown ended, everyone's landing craft launched from the warship and sped toward the surface.
On the deck of the train, Hiko extended a suitcase into space, transforming it into an orbital cannon.
Firefly walked slowly to the edge of the deck, watching the Honkai Beasts swirling in the sky, and mories from past battles resurfaced.
It was a scene full of insect swarms. In that battle, she had lost everything—comrades, country, and only her, Glamoth, remained.
The scene before her now was so similar to that one that Firefly couldn't help but feel sorrow.
Firefly held out her hand, and a light flashed, revealing her transformation device.
"I dreamt of a scorched earth, a new shoot breaking through the soil, blooming under the morning sun, whispering to ."
"The firefly flies toward the flas, reborn toward death!"
Liuying swiftly ran off the deck and leapt into the sky, transforming into Sam, charging toward the sky filled with Honkai Beasts.
"I shall... set the seas ablaze!!"
Under Firefly's precise control, the Honkai Beasts in the sky suffered a significant blow, falling to the ground.
The sky over the city turned red as if the world were ending, with flas burning in the sky.
At the sa ti, Stelle, Hu Tao, and others reached their respective battlefields.
Stelle transford her Judgnt of Shamash into a greatsword, holding it with both hands. She moved through the Honkai Beasts, each strike clearing an area of enemies.
This was still Stelle holding back; if she went all out, activating the Annihilation Mode, the entire city would have turned into ruins.
But she had to hold back, as there were still civilians in the city.
With just Stelle, March 7th, and Dan Heng, they controlled a large area and rescued survivors from a major evacuation camp.
On the Liyue side.
Zhongli sat calmly at the entrance of a shopping mall, where many survivors were gathered inside.
At the entrance, Hu Tao, Xiangling, and others were fighting Honkai Beasts.
With Zhongli's shield, the Honkai Beasts couldn't harm Hu Tao and the others.
This was perfect for Hu Tao, Xiangling, and the others to hone their combat skills.
Zhongli didn't plan to help directly. He would only intervene to handle any Honkai Beasts that passed their defense line, giving the others so practice.
On Welt's side.
He held his cane and located the most powerful Honkai Beasts on the battlefield—the Emperor-level Herrscher.
Welt gazed at the nacing creature and felt a strange sense of nostalgia.
He had once faced such an enemy.
Finally, Welt spoke.
"Witness the stars shatter!"
Welt's Star of Eden unleashed its full power, and a black hole swallowed the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts.
Welt waved his Star of Eden gently, and the black hole split into two, tearing the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts in half.
The black hole disappeared, and the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts was no more.
Welt, holding his Star of Eden, stood atop a building, adjusting his glasses as he silently observed the battlefield below.
On the warship.
Ye Yun had Silver Wolf bring the warship to a completely abandoned area, where only Star of Eden remained.
Ye Yun and Rios brought the six small ones to the deck.
Klee had gathered all the grenades from the ammo storage and placed them on the ground.
"Everyone, let's blow up these monsters!"
The other five small ones shouted in unison, lining up and picking up the grenades to throw them toward the battlefield below.
"Heave-ho~ Heave-ho~ Klee's going to be the big hero and fight monsters!"
