The battlefield shifted from Academy City to the outside world.
Once outside, even though there were occasional barriers enveloping the Far East, they were completely negligible to the current Herrschers.
Kiana couldn't keep up. At this point, her mind was a mess. She didn't even know how she should approach Shigure Kira.
If possible, she would have preferred Noldrei to just gank Shigure Kira directly and bring the spoils home.
But His Majesty the Emperor was currently "having fun" with Sa on Venus. How could he be bothered with the conflicts on Earth? He had decisively delegated the authority to handle this trouble to the Crown Princess.
'Why does he have so much faith in my verbal persuasion skills?'
Kiana felt it would be more useful to believe in her physical strength than her persuasion skills.
"Where did they go?"
"They're already fighting over the Pacific Ocean. See those colorful lights over there? That's the aftershock of the battle. Bronya is controlling a Divine Key to deal with the trouble... I hope these things won't affect the surrounding environment of the Pacific."
It wasn't that Bronya hadn't seen Herrschers fight before, but a battle of this scale was truly rare. She estimated that in a little while, the two of them would be fighting in space.
"It really is colorful. No one told me the energy of the Herrscher of Origin's battles would be so cool!"
Kiana was astonished by her sister's current appearance. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought Durandal had changed her class to magical girl.
She was already so old. Changing her class to magical girl at this age was a bit disrespectful.
"Is that all you care about right now?!" Bronya felt that Kiana had really been corrupted by Noldrei. This girl seemed to be striving to learn from His Majesty the Emperor's personality.
"What else can I care about? Do you want me to turn into my mom, go up and give Shigure Kira a hug, and breastfeed her to calm her down? Are you kidding me? Does she think she's Homelander?!"
Kiana was furious about the Shigure Kira situation.
"Valkyries don't need to sacrifice themselves anymore, and there are better ways to fight the Honkai. And Shigure Kira is going berserk just because she can't accept her comrades being forgotten so lightly?"
Bronya looked at the shameless Kiana and asked curiously, "What if your father, Siegfried, or Noldrei died one day and was forgotten by later generations? Could you accept that?"
Kiana's expression changed instantly. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'd f—king kill them!"
'So it's just not your turn yet!'
Bronya was so embarrassed by her double standards that she was hesitant to gather more people to deal with Shigure Kira.
That girl was already so miserable, and now she was being targeted by someone like this. It was truly bad luck.
Kiana wasn't an idiot. She knew very well that words alone couldn't solve this kind of trouble. At this time, saying who could understand whom would be like watching from the sidelines and making light of the situation.
Who would have thought that just as they were about to get through this phase, Noldrei would bring back a very, very pure person from the old era? And now she was in a huge conflict with the current society.
"Since it's a problem of the times, it must be solved by political means. It's difficult to understand each other purely through emotions. But if we want to use political means to deal with it, I can't find anyone from the old era to use right now."
Kiana's intention was to find an old-era Valkyrie who was still alive and well, and then have this person communicate with Shigure Kira to see if it would have any effect.
But Durandal's overly direct expression had had a lot of negative effects.
"Can Rita do it?" Kiana thought that only Rita was left, since Rita had also lost her teacher.
"Not really. And Rita didn't experience the Second Honkai Eruption. The only one who experienced it and survived is Principal Theresa."
Bronya gave a candidate, but this candidate was a bit abstract.
Kiana thought about Theresa's situation and figured that if Theresa went, it would be a miracle if she didn't get beaten up.
She complained, "Don't tell me I really have to pretend to be my mom? I'd rather have my sister do it. At least my sister is really my mom's daughter."
Cecilia was the best entry point. Just like how Noldrei had created an android Cecilia that had brought great benefits to Sirin.
But it would be too hellish to always use an android Cecilia to handle such work.
Shigure Kira's current state was no longer just a Cecilia problem. There was also the trauma of her past comrades' sacrifices.
You couldn't just make an android for every one of them to talk to Shigure Kira, right?
Just thinking about that scene made Kiana feel terrified.
At this thought, her face immediately turned bitter.
'Noldrei, oh Noldrei! Why aren't you on Earth right now?!'
"What should we do? Should we gather all the Herrschers and just kill her? We can't go on like this..."
Bronya thought Kiana was overthinking it. From what she saw on the screen, Shigure Kira was already having a hard time winning against the Herrscher of Origin, Durandal.
Although they were both wearing fancy Herrscher outfits, Durandal was clearly superior!
Just as Kiana was at a loss, Bronya saw a scene that made her blood run cold.
Shigure Kira had suddenly disappeared during the battle.
Only Durandal's Herrscher energy signature was left over the entire Pacific Ocean.
It was as if Shigure Kira had suddenly vanished into thin air.
"Durandal! Are you still there? Durandal! Can you hear me?!"
Bronya urgently contacted Durandal, afraid that something might have happened to her as well.
"I hear you, Bronya. Shigure Kira just disappeared through a door. I can't find her anymore. Can you scan for Honkai Energy in other locations? Where is she on Earth?"
Durandal was clearly more anxious than Bronya. She was worried that Shigure Kira might have run off to cause trouble somewhere.
But the situation was more complicated than Durandal thought.
"She..." Bronya wasn't sure of her own thoughts and could only guess. "Her energy source can no longer be detected on Earth. I suspect she's entered the Sea of Quanta."
"What did you say?"
Durandal was dumbfounded. She had never thought that a Herrscher could still actively escape in this state.
Just now, she had landed several punches on Shigure Kira's face and was about to catch her and beat her half to death.
And now Bronya was telling her that Shigure Kira had a strong will to live and had already run away?
"Her will to live is so strong! Then why did she become a Herrscher?! Ah! If you're afraid of dying, don't become a Herrscher!"
Durandal was so angry she was about to jump up and down, her words no longer making any sense.
