"Is there any other way..." Bronya hung her head, her entire body leaning against the Noah's Ark's steering wheel. "The reinforcements that can be mobilized nearby, the power that can be used now..."
Just for a little while... just a little while...
A white shadow flashed across a light screen. Bronya's expression froze. The moment she raised her head, she felt her heart stop.
Another Honkai energy, no weaker than Xiezhi's, had entered the battlefield!!
In a situation like this, for Honkai energy to enter the field, wasn't this adding fuel to the fire?!
Bronya looked at the white shadow that was too fast to capture. Suddenly, a wild idea came to her mind.
"Seele," she raised her hand and grabbed the steering wheel in front of her, a hint of determination in her eyes. "Take Dr. Schrödinger and Sirin with you and leave. Evacuate from the Noah's Ark."
Seele was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bronya in confusion. "Big Sister Bronya, you..."
"Don't ask so many questions... just do as I say... notify Sin Mal and Rosalia, and take them with you..."
The Noah's Ark was still suspended directly above everyone. The remaining Honkai energy on the Noah's Ark did not allow it to move, but it was still possible to just turn and fine-tune its position.
And now, what Bronya wanted to do was to let the Noah's Ark float above the Sword of Taixuan, and then—
Fall!
Use the weight of the ark to help the Sword of Taixuan complete that strike!
And what would happen to her, who would fall from a high altitude with the ark? Bronya did not think this was an unacceptable price!
Without much hesitation, Bronya knew that there was no time for her to weigh the pros and cons. What she needed to do now was not to think about what to do, but to consider what she could do.
And what she was thinking now was what she could do.
Bronya had already made up her mind. But just as her hand was on the steering wheel, the enlarged image that popped up on the light screen made her stunned.
The white shadow was indeed a Honkai energy reaction, that was not wrong. And its appearance was also different from the previous Bianka. It was a Honkai beast, a non-humanoid Honkai beast...
But in the image captured by the Noah's Ark, the white shadow just quickly rushed behind Bianka and opened its mouth to bite a golden chain.
It was...
Bianka only felt the pressure from the chain in her hand suddenly decrease. At the same time, a dangerous but unexpectedly familiar aura came from behind her.
Out of a premonition of danger, Bianka turned her head. But out of trust in that familiar aura, Bianka just turned her head.
A large cat with obvious cracks on its body... no, a cat-shaped Honkai beast was biting the golden chain she had grabbed, and was struggling to pull it back with the force of Bianka's pull.
"Stan!" Even though it was completely different from the small white cat in her memory, Bianka still recognized the identity of the ferocious Honkai beast behind her at a glance.
That was Stan... the only bond in her wandering years!
And... it wasn't just him!
"A large number of life reactions have been detected! Warning, a large number of life reactions have been detected!!" A piercing alarm suddenly sounded on the Noah's Ark.
Ai-chan's voice should have been cold and ruthless at this time because she was connected to a quantum cluster computer, as there was no extra computing power to provide her with emotional simulation.
But at this moment, a hint of disbelief appeared in that voice.
"The signal analysis of all intruders is—"
"Human!!"
"All members of the City of Sighs guard squad, listen to my orders!!" A loud shout shattered the rain screen and all the tranquility that had been imprisoned by the chains, making everyone turn their heads in surprise to look at the Gungnir that had appeared here for some reason.
Looking at the group of people rushing over in vehicles on the edge of their vision, and watching the machinery born in civilization stir up dust in the desert that was no less than a sandstorm, the Herrscher even stopped her own actions.
Where did they come from? Why did they come? How dare they come?!!
I don't understand, I don't know! Unpredictable!!!
The troops of the City of Sighs had already assembled, but they were not in the city. Where could they be?
This was the final contribution of the high-ranking officials of the City of Sighs to this battle!!
During the judgment, they used this to assemble all the guards, letting the Herrscher relax her guard. When they were being judged, the world's focus was on them, so everyone ignored this assembled guard.
And now, under their operation, the pawn that had reached the bottom of the chessboard had transformed into a queen that could affect the overall situation!!
On top of the vehicle at the forefront was the bruised and swollen captain of the guard. He looked particularly comical in his neat military uniform and that face.
But when the airflow generated by the moving car blew the flag in his hand, no one cared about the injuries on his face. Everyone's gaze was focused on the huge flag that was fluttering in the wind.
Even though the captain of the guard had used all his strength to support that big flag, he still shouted out the final order at the front of the convoy.
"Link!!!"
The moment the convoy broke into the range of the golden chains, all the vehicles scattered.
At the same time, a communication was connected to the Noah's Ark.
"Commander! We need the best position!! Repeat, we need the best position!!" This was a voice that was weak, but at the same time, it was hard to hide its excitement. It was familiar to the ear, and at the same time, it could give people a strange power.
"Siegfried!"/"Stinky old dad!!" The first to react were Theresa and Kiana.
In fact, Cecilia and Bianka also reacted at the first moment. Cecilia just showed a smile, while Bianka's mouth opened and closed, but she didn't say anything.
Siegfried, who was connected to the Noah's Ark's communication, was coming from another direction. The vehicles over there were not as neat as the guard's, but their numbers were much larger than the guard's!
Also on the sand motorcycle at the forefront, Siegfried was standing in the back seat, holding a big loudspeaker with one hand. His white figure was the most conspicuous beacon in the rain, a front that everyone could rush to!
The heavy rain of Amnesty Day was still pouring, and all the people whose sins had been pardoned were united as one at this moment!
"Sorry, I really don't want to miss a scene like this!!" Siegfried gave Kiana an unprofessional and supposedly cool greeting. Beside him, Susanna also poked her head out and eagerly waved at everyone.
"But now is not the time for reminiscing and chatting. Hey, little girl in the sky! Could you please provide us with the best point of entry?!"
Bronya was only stunned for a moment. The next moment, reason made her quickly pull out the "useless" data she had calculated under pressure before.
No, at this moment, this data was the most useful!
"Everyone, please follow my command!" Looking at the route map, Bronya's cold expression was even a little flushed. That was an emotion called "blood rushing to the head."
I... am not useless!
"Roger!"
All the vehicles scattered fiercely. In the Herrscher's incredulous eyes, they rushed to the end of each chain.
Someone quickly jumped out of the car, then connected the golden chain to the car, and then fiercely stepped on the accelerator.
One by one, the chains were pulled straight from being slack. The Herrscher could clearly feel a series of forces being transmitted to her body through the chains.
Adding the strength of Kiana and the others, and Stan... the scales of the tug-of-war finally began to tilt towards the human side!
Her hand could no longer move! It was even being pulled away from Rita and the others by the chains!
This was a situation that the Herrscher had never expected!
The Snow Wolf Squad was one thing, the high-ranking officials were another... but she really couldn't understand why these ordinary people would come here!
...No...
She was not out of ammunition and food yet...
She still had one last killing move!!
Humanity must have a common enemy. Only with her existence can humanity be tightly connected, and humanity's destiny will be a community!
The bond of humanity cannot end here! For this...
She will not hesitate to do anything! Even if it means using unscrupulous means!
A shockwave suddenly exploded from the Herrscher's body. Along with the roar of a cornered beast, a crack shining with light suddenly burst open on the Herrscher's face.
99%—not enough!
100%? Still not enough!
120%... 150%! 200%!!
The cracks were rapidly climbing up the Herrscher's body.
A Honkai energy far beyond common sense was rapidly pouring into her body from the imaginary space.
Even this body, which was directly created by Honkai energy, was already somewhat unable to withstand the huge influx of Honkai energy and began to show signs of collapse.
And the Honkai energy that was escaping from the Herrscher's body instantly overturned many people and vehicles. Siegfried watched the sand bandit driving in front of him suddenly fall down, his face twisted in pain, and a series of corrosive patterns appeared on his body.
Looking down, Siegfried found that some similar patterns had also appeared on his remaining hand.
But what attracted his attention more were the golden threads that were emerging from his body.
Following these threads, each thread was connected to a person. Under the rioting power of the bond, everyone was connected at this moment, weaving a huge and complex network.
"Ugh..." And the most unexpected thing was that the first to fall was actually Kiana.
The blood-red patterns on her body began to appear again, just like the cracks that were climbing on the Herrscher's body. Her body had already been on the verge of collapse once in the dream of the sight.
Now, under the cover of such a huge Honkai energy, her old injuries had erupted again.
Mei wanted to support Kiana, but she was not feeling well either. It was already the limit of what she could do to stand with her sword.
Besides the erosion in various parts of her body, the sharp pain in her shoulder gave Mei the illusion that she had been split open by a sword.
Looking at the unusually prominent golden thread between her and Kiana, Mei suddenly realized something.
These golden threads... could they be the so-called bonds between people?
Everyone present was connected to the Herrscher, and also to everyone around them. The escaping Honkai energy was flowing through these threads to everyone's body.
And what everyone was experiencing at this moment was not Honkai energy erosion, but through these golden threads, they were sharing everything that the Herrscher was going through.
This was the bond... the bond of sharing weal and woe...
At the moment when everyone lost their strength, the Herrscher, who was suffering the same pain as everyone else, suddenly turned her hand and aimed at Rita and the others with a hand that was already covered with cracks.
At this time, Rita's face was pale. She was suffering the same pain as everyone else, but she still did not stop the assembly process.
If it were anyone else, this assembly would have been over, but only Rita, only Rita.
She couldn't do many things, but if it was just a matter of doing one thing well... then she was the best person for the job!
The assembly was at the last step! But the Herrscher had already aimed her hand at her!
...
A cluster of flames suddenly ignited, and a familiar aura grabbed the Herrscher's wrist.
The familiar aura made the Herrscher's thoughts pause for a moment, because the owner of this aura had almost killed her directly when she had just arrived not long ago.
Shu... is back?
No, this hand is not Shu's!! This is—
[From ***: I want to see the sun again.]
[From **: I want to find her.]
[From ****: I want to eat cake again.]
[From **: I want to...]
Bianka didn't know why she could hear these voices.
They seemed to be flowing into her body along the threads, with waves of the purest power, a power similar to Honkai energy, but completely different.
They seemed to be omnipotent, but also limited to a certain range.
Just as Bianka was about to fall into the pain shared by the Herrscher's bond like everyone else, these powers were like hands extending from the abyss, holding her up and lifting her into the air.
[From Siegfried Kaslana: Kaslana Family Secret, first rule—They will raise me high, and I will stand for them until the very last moment!!]
The last moment... is definitely not now!
The Herrscher looked in disbelief as the threads connected to Bianka disappeared. The next moment, a full-powered punch from Bianka smashed into her face, just like the first time she had met the Herrscher.
And at the moment the Herrscher's final struggle was shattered by Bianka, Rita's figure swayed for a moment, and then she fell backwards with a smile.
"Mission accomplished..." Rita smiled, her eyelids already heavy and about to close. "Assembly... complete."
The Snow Wolf Squad's final weapon had finally appeared! All the energy had been concentrated. With just one command, this power could destroy everything in front of them!
And its name is—
One of the three major technological crystals of Future City, the sharpest spear of human civilization—the Orbital Asteroid Disruption and Annihilation Cannon!
Leukocyte!
