Chapter 197: Wild Wind, Submit to Me!
World Serpent, Oceania Base.
The brown-haired woman with a mask on her face was drinking coffee and watching the screen with interest.
A good show is about to be staged before her eyes.
"Report to Lord Jackal, all the explosion sites have been prepared, and the Honkai Beast has been placed."
The cadres under him reported the arrangements of the attack truthfully.
"Very good, prepare to activate the explosives, release the HSN-b46 serum gas, and remove the limiters of those Honkai beasts at the same time. Let's teach those guys from Schicksal a lesson."
She sat down comfortably, and the images on the screen switched to the various cameras in the Schicksal Oceania branch.
——Before Schicksal noticed, the World Serpent had already hacked into their internal data system, and it was a simple matter to hack into a few cameras.
"Let me see the miserable looks of the Valkyries as they struggle, hehehe..."
As the Jackal spoke, he pressed the detonation button on the control panel.
.........
Inside the Oceania branch, the Valkyrie dormitory.
"Captain, Captain~"
"Captain Anna~"
"…What do you want to do?"
The chestnut-haired girl was surrounded by her teammates and asked weakly.
Although she is the Captain of the Snow Lotus Team, at this moment she is being interrogated by her own teammates like a criminal.
"How's it going?"
"Any progress?"
"What...what..."
She pretended not to know and spoke in a low voice.
"Of course it's about going out on a date on public funds!"
"Is Wanaka beautiful? Is it fun?"
"I heard that you guys slept together at night, in the same bed."
"Captain, you guys haven't already..."
The girls said in a slick way.
"Wait... we didn't sleep in the same bed!"
Anna corrected grudgingly.
"Oh, so we're sleeping in the same room!"
"You mean you didn't deny going on a date?"
"This is quite a big improvement!"
The girls deliberately misinterpreted her explanation.
"…I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to take a shower!"
Anna was a little overwhelmed. She blushed and pushed away the teammates who were surrounding her and began to take off her clothes.
Because they were all girls, there was no need to cover anything, and soon, Anna walked into the bathroom with clothes.
"Ah, these naughty children…"
She sighed, sat in the bathtub, and turned on the switch.
The warm water flowed over her fair skin and began to accumulate in the bathtub.
After a while, the warm water had already covered Anna's slender legs and the beautiful curve of her chest. She closed her eyes, leaned slightly on the edge of the bathtub, and enjoyed the comfortable feeling brought by the warmth soaking her whole body.
Having said that, she herself is not that old…
The members of the Snow Lotus Team are only two or three years younger than her, so they are of the same age.
At this age, it is the age when people yearn for a beautiful love. It is normal to have so many fantasies.
Realizing that her face seemed to have turned red again, Anna quickly shook her head and decided not to think about it for the time being.
Otherwise, she was afraid that she would faint in the bathtub.
By the way, she don't know what happened to the kitten she brought back. she hasn't seen it since she handed it over to the engineering department. How about asking Kirataka and Wendy to go check it out tomorrow…
'Lady Theresa seemed to have said before that they would only stay here for two or three weeks. If I calculate the time, it seems to be about time… They should be going back soon, right?'
The Snow Lotus Team's special combat training has basically come to an end recently, and she will soon have to return to Coral Island and protect the people again at her post.
Just as the girl was daydreaming, a loud explosion suddenly sounded in the base, and the laughter of the girls outside the bathroom also stopped.
The ground was shaking slightly because of the explosion.
"…!"
Anna stood up from the bathtub, and water drops rolled down her fair skin, sparkling with a crystal-like luster under the bathroom light.
What happened?
Enemy attack? outbreak?
Then, she heard the voice of the radio echoing in the base, reporting the current situation:
"A large number of Honkai energy signals appeared on the east side of the base, which may be an invasion of Honkai beasts. All Valkyrie teams please prepare to attack immediately!"
"Explosions occurred at multiple locations within the base, suspected to be bomb attacks!"
"…!"
Without time to think, the girl quickly picked up the towel and wrapped herself in it. She rushed out of the bathroom and told her teammates:
"Get ready to attack immediately, I'll follow soon!"
"Yes, Captain!"
After all, they were all well-trained Valkyries. Faced with the emergency, the girls quickly prepared themselves and left the dormitory, ready to assemble.
Anna was the last one to leave the room and followed the other Valkyries downstairs.
"Lady Theresa!"
She brought the Snow Lotus Team and happened to meet Theresa who also appeared here.
The white-haired girl was holding a huge cross, and as a leader, she was arranging the Valkyries here to prepare for the elimination of the Honkai beasts.
"Anna, you're here."
"Well, Lady Theresa, what happened?"
"…Suddenly, a large number of Honkai beasts appeared on the east side of the base and are attacking this side. We need to organize the Valkyrie team to deal with them immediately."
After a pause, Theresa asked worriedly:
"By the way, have you seen Kirataka and Wendy?"
It was she who asked Kirataka to push Wendy for a walk after dinner, but now, so many high-intensity Honkai energy signals were detected outside the base.
—It was hard for her not to associate this with something bad.
After all, the sudden appearance of Honkai Beasts might be caused by the birth of Herrscher...
"…."
Thinking of this possibility, the white-haired girl fell silent for a moment.
At this moment, a Valkyrie pointed to the sky and suddenly exclaimed:
"Wait, look, that's…"
Theresa and Anna looked up at the sky following her finger, and saw a girl with dark blue hair standing high in the sky, guiding the endless storm.
They all recognized the girl hovering in the sky.
That's Wendy.
.........
"Strange, how come nearly one-third of the explosion points didn't explode?"
The Jackal thought as she stared at the screen, frowning.
The explosion went off as planned, but the effect was not as good as she expected.
The explosives placed by the traitor, in addition to causing physical damage, the most important thing is that they also spread the gas of HSN-b46 serum to weaken the fighting capabilities of the Valkyries, turning them into ordinary people who can be slaughtered at will.
Therefore, the dormitory area inside the base was her main target of attack.
But for some reason, the explosives in the dormitory area...almost all were not activated.
This also means that the plan to weaken the Valkyries' fighting power has failed.
This battle plan was obviously perfect and flawless, but facing this sudden abnormal situation, she now felt a little uneasy.
'...Forget it, let's take a look at the situation on Stan's side first. Retrieving the Herrscher of Wind is the more important matter.'
'If there are problems with the attack, then there are problems. If we can successfully capture the Herrscher of Wind during the chaos, it will also be a good gain.'
The Jackal was about to contact Stan when the system suddenly warned her:
"Warning, high-energy Honkai reaction detected! High-energy Honkai reaction detected! Rapidly approaching the Schicksal Base! Rapidly approaching the Schicksal Base!"
She frowned, stopped trying to contact Stan, and turned to look at the screen.
On the screen, where the strength of Honkai energy was marked with icons of different sizes, a huge blue light spot suddenly appeared near the Schicksal Base and was approaching it at an extremely fast speed.
"This Honkai energy strength... is it the Herrscher? Could it be that the vessel that longs for the gem has awakened?"
The Jackal was a little surprised.
Only the Herrscher can possess this level of Honkai energy.
She bit her lip and stared carefully at the changes on the screen, afraid of missing anything.
None of the Honkai energy light spots of the Valkyries that symbolized Schicksal disappeared, and the images seen through the cameras did not show any signs of them being attacked.
On the contrary, the number of Honkai Beast corps she sent out was rapidly decreased after the Herrscher of Wind arrived at the Schicksal Base.
Obviously, the Herrscher of Wind is protecting them.
"No... This is so wrong. Why would she transform into the Herrscher of Wind at this exact moment?"
This…
It was as if it was intended to deliberately stop her attack plan.
............…
Wendy took Kirataka's hand and quickly arrived above the Schicksal Base.
She created a wind barrier under the feet of the two people and settled there.
Kirataka landed on the wind wall created by Wendy, looked down, and felt something strange.
Although he could also use electromagnetic force to fly, the feeling of "standing" on the wind was still different from what he was feeling now.
Then he looked down at the Oceania branch base.
Although this time the stage was given to Wendy to perform, he still did some small work within his ability.
The Jackal's serum gas and bombs were placed together, and he naturally already knew the locations of the bombs in the invasion plan. Although he did not destroy all of them, he still dealt with some of them after returning to the base, and deliberately disposed of all the bombs in densely populated areas.
Dormitories, cafeterias, training grounds... places where Valkyries were distributed in large numbers, he used EMP to eliminate the operating functions of the bombs.
Therefore, the explosions now occur in remote areas and there will be no casualties.
Next, it depends on Wendy's performance.
The girl next to him closed her eyes and used her sense of wind to grasp the surrounding environment.
The wind can sense everything, and everything within the base is displayed in her mind as clearly as a radar.
"There's something wrong with the direction of the wind. There seems to be something strange in the air in the base."
The girl frowned and spoke softly.
Perhaps it was instinct. Although she didn't know what it was, she, like Sirin, sensed the threat of the serum gas.
And dealing with these ominous gases is indeed the specialty of the Herrscher of Wind.
"…"
The girl stretched out her hand and made a slight bend. A light breeze blew through the Schicksal Base. She precisely controlled the airflow to avoid the Valkyrie, and then controlled all the serum gases, bringing them out of the base and into the sky.
Then, she focused her attention on the group of Honkai beasts that were approaching the base.
Her eyes turned cold, and after becoming the Herrscher of Wind, she officially activated her abilities to attack for the first time.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, and a strong wind blew up on the flat ground outside the Schicksal Base, turning into a huge tornado, moving towards the group of Honkai beasts at an extremely fast speed.
The attraction was so strong that the Honkai beasts had no chance to resist and were sucked in. Then, they were crushed into powder in the endless storm.
"This is the destructive power of the Herrscher."
Kirataka watched Wendy's operation from high in the sky and sighed inwardly.
Although the Herrscher of Wind in the original timeline had the embarrassing experience of being evenly matched with three B-rank Valkyries and even being defeated by a single punch from a Titan, she did manage to almost completely destroy the entire New Zealand by herself before the group from St. Freya's Academy arrived.
Taking Nagazora City as a reference, its area is about 2,100 square kilometers, and it was completely destroyed without the Herrscher of Thunder's carelessness... and New Zealand is 270,000 square kilometers.
Even for a Herrscher, carrying out large-scale destruction will consume physical strength.
In other words, if a large amount of Honkai energy had not been consumed to destroy the country of New Zealand, Wendy would not have been so weak at that time that the fight with Kiana and the others was indisputable.
And now, with the help of Sirin, Wendy has completely gained control of the Desire Gem. Without any damage, the power she can exert is obviously much stronger than in the original timeline.
This is the real Herrscher of Wind.
While Kirataka was thinking, Wendy had easily dealt with the group of Honkai beasts that tried to invade the Schicksal Base.
"Should we go back now?"
Wendy was holding his hand and looked up at the sky.
Obviously, as a Herrscher, she a more eye-catching existence than those Honkai beasts.
'Now, I should explain to them first and show them that I am not controlled by Honkai to avoid any misunderstanding.'
"Before that, Wendy, can you accompany me to another place?"
"Well, where do you want to go?"
The girl nodded.
Using the Herrscher of Wind's ability to fly thousands of miles, she was able to carry Kirataka on a high-speed transfer.
"Well... probably in that direction, west of Wanaka town."
Kirataka pointed in the direction of the World Serpent Base.
Apart from anything else, the jackal still needs some finishing blows.
He had never liked this devilish scientist who treated human life as worthless in the first place. This time, she took the initiative to come to Schicksal to cause trouble and wanted to hurt the Valkyrie here. Such a thing was naturally unforgivable.
Wendy controlled the wind and took herself and Kirataka to fly at high speed in the direction he pointed.
"By the way, Wendy, you're so quiet when you release your abilities."
Kirataka said jokingly.
"Eh? Should I say something at this time?"
"For example... 'Wind, submit to me!'"
To be honest, this line is obviously more suitable for the girl in front of him than the Herrscher of Thunder.
Wendy actually thought about it seriously, and then quietly retorted:
"Isn't it a bit too embarrassing to say this..."
.........
On the west side of the World Serpent Base, the Jackal has boarded the submarine and is preparing to evacuate secretly.
In any case, due to the birth of the Herrscher of Wind, her plan to attack Schicksal has failed.
With the background of the World Serpent, there is certainly a way to deal with a Herrscher, but the armed forces she brought with her to deal with the Oceania branch are obviously unable to do this.
Although she is arrogant, she is not stupid.
Although she didn't know how, her attack plan was obviously leaked. As a result, her own safety could hardly be guaranteed.
The most urgent task is to retreat.
'I will remember the revenge of Schicksal first, and take revenge on them after the Lord returns...'
The Jackal gnashed his teeth as he sat in the submarine, moving at high speed on the seabed.
Everything in the sea was quite quiet. There was no sound except the noise made by the submarine moving.
Even if the plan was leaked, the Jackal didn't think that Schicksal would be able to catch up with her immediately, so she was still in a fairly safe situation.
But just as she was thinking this, the submarine she was on suddenly stopped.
The surrounding water currents suddenly began to hit the hull violently. The huge repulsive force prevented the submarine from moving forward at all, and the Jackal in the submarine was thrown to the ground.
The Jackal barely managed to steady himself by holding onto the wall, his heart filled with horror.
'Impossible! How could anyone attack her directly in the sea?'
She is now in the sea five hundred meters below!
The only one who can do this is——
'Herrscher!'
The Jackal's heart sank.
Soon, the seawater stopped hitting the submarine and instead parted to the sides, revealing the deep and dark seabed land.
"…"
This is exactly like the scene of "Moses parting the sea" in mythology.
Without the support of seawater, the submarine fell toward the ground under the action of gravity and landed heavily on the ground at the bottom of the sea.
Kirataka, who was high in the sky, aimed at the submarine that was stagnant in place.
He guessed that the Jackal would choose to retreat when the plan failed, so he used electromagnetic induction to search for any signals in the nearby waters, and soon found the Jackal's submarine.
After deciding to attack the Jackal, Wendy helped him control the water, exposing the submarine directly to their eyes.
——Water itself is also a kind of existence that is close to an ideal fluid, and can naturally be controlled by the Herrscher of Wind, whose power is to create and manipulate ideal fluids.
After Wendy helped him separate the sea... he was the one to deliver a railgun to the Jackal.
After a brief period of accumulation of energy, Kirataka fired a bolt of lightning, following the trajectory of the seawater's regrouping, piercing through the submarine and everything in it.
