Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Pre-Battle Preparations and Speech

[Poland-Belarus Border. A Schicksal pickup truck retreated through the wind and snow. On the roof of one of the trucks, Shab Niggurath, who was covering the convoy's retreat, was already exhausted. She leaned on the long handle of her weapon, forcing herself to stay upright as she watched the surrounding horde of Honkai Beasts.

"Damn it... Where are the reinforcements..." Shab's voice was weak.

Suddenly, several chilling sword slashes cut through the Honkai Beast horde. In the wind and snow, a woman with long, bluish-gray hair had a cold expression, the azure longsword in her hand radiating a frosty light.

It was none other than Schicksal's strongest A-rank Valkyrie, Cheng Lixue. She had saved Shab and had also brought news: Overseer Otto was gathering all B-rank and above Valkyries in Europe for a strategy meeting at noon tomorrow to plan the subjugation of the Second Herrscher.

Meanwhile, on Schicksal's floating island, Cecilia, after putting little Kiana to sleep, learned of Shab's safety over the phone. The Overseer's secretary, Amber, arrived at some point. She brought Otto's order for Cecilia to prepare for battle.

In the Overseer's office, Otto observed the three pseudo-Herrschers laying waste to cities via satellite. He mused that A-rank Valkyries could only delay them, but the one that caught his attention the most was the pseudo-Herrscher of Death.

"Troubled?"

A single feather drifted down slowly. A woman in a dark yellow windbreaker appeared behind him.

"Old friend, you've finally arrived." Otto looked at the newcomer, a smile playing on his lips—partly happy, partly calculating. But he still said, "With this, my battle plan is complete."]

Looking at Otto's smile on the screen, Fu Hua shivered. She felt as if this world held some deep-seated malice towards her.

"Hehe, Class Rep, what are your thoughts on your cool entrance?" Kiana, having snuck away from Mei's side, was now next to Fu Hua, hugging her arm. Anyone could see her intentions were not pure.

"Kiana, let go of Old Timer!"

"What's the big deal?! I'm not doing anything!"

Looking at each of them holding one of her arms, Fu Hua felt a bit helpless.

"Class Rep's strength in the story is definitely not to be underestimated. Overseer Otto was hesitating, saying that even A-rank Valkyries could only delay the pseudo-Herrschers, but as soon as Class Rep appeared, the Overseer seemed completely at ease," Bronya analyzed. "From this, we can see that Class Rep's strength is at least greater than an A-rank Valkyrie's."

"Aha! So you, Old Timer, secretly went to Yàqīng to get such a powerful role," Senti said, agitated, forgetting all about her 'rivalry' with Kiana.

"I didn't." Fu Hua was baffled. She really hadn't asked Yàqīng for a role. It was just that Yàqīng had asked her to help with some voice acting, so she went.

"Ki... a... na!"

Kiana shot up like a startled rabbit. "Ah, Mei, don't twist my ear!"

"Sigh." Bronya sighed helplessly.

["Grandpa... let me out."

Theresa, who had fully recovered, was locked up by Overseer Otto. Agitated, she repeatedly banged on the transparent barrier. She couldn't understand why Overseer Otto would confine her at such a critical moment.

"Grandpa, why are you keeping me locked up?!"

"My injuries are healed! I want to participate in the battle against the Second Herrscher too!"

Otto grabbed the chain of the Oath of Judah with one hand and casually slung the massive and extremely heavy golden cross onto his back. He stated that the enemy this time was incredibly powerful. He couldn't let Theresa out until she could master Judah's Zeroth Power.

Judah's Zeroth Power could neutralize all Honkai energy in a short period. For Theresa, who had Honkai Beast genes in her body, if she couldn't fully control Judah, she would be killed by it.

Theresa stood stunned, the strength seeming to drain from her body in an instant as she sank to her knees.

Otto explained that he had never told her how to use this power precisely because he didn't want her to be killed by Judah before she could master it. Therefore, until she mastered Judah, he would not let her out.]

"So that's why..." The Theresa watching the movie was also stunned. She had thought her grandfather was deliberately keeping it from her, but she never expected this to be the reason.

"Honkai Beast genes?" Bronya gave the Principal a strange look.

...

"Honkai Beast genes? To think they could inject Honkai Beast genes into a human body... another path I had never considered." Mobius looked at Yàqīng's profile and licked her upper lip. "Yàqīng, you're making me more and more curious."

"Don't be curious about me, Senior Mobius." Yàqīng felt as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake. The pretty face leaning in close didn't make him feel shy; rather, it filled him with a certain dread.

"That's right, Professor Mobius. Haven't you heard that curiosity towards a man is the beginning of a fall~ ♥?" Elysia teased.

"Shut up, Elysia." A vein bulged on Mobius's fair forehead. She wished she could invent a spray that could make people shut up and then spray it all over Elysia's face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Su shook his head.

"What kind of idiot invented this? Injecting Honkai Beasts into a human body," Kalpas snorted contemptuously.

"Uh..." Yàqīng glanced sideways at Mobius's pretty face.

"Me?" Mobius looked around, saw only the 'purely foolish' Elysia, and pointed at herself in disbelief.

Mobius felt offended.

[Meanwhile, at Anti-Entropy's Yellowstone Base, Siegfried, having returned to Earth, couldn't bring himself to look Einstein and Tesla in the eye. He silently handed the briefcase containing the Soulium and technology to Tesla and walked past the teary-eyed woman.

He locked himself in a room, drinking himself into a stupor. Hearing the disaster news on the TV, Siegfried suddenly sobered up, realizing the Second Herrscher had gone back on her word and attacked Earth. Worried about his wife and daughter, he hastily threw away the empty beer can.

At that moment, Einstein, who was analyzing the Soulium, blocked his path. She told him that the information in the Soulium was related to the Kaslana family.

The scene shifted back to Schicksal's floating island. In a certain area of the Valkyrie dormitories, Cheng Lixue was gently playing the guqin. This gentle temperament was a stark contrast to her coldness on the battlefield, making it hard not to fall in love.

A golden feather slowly drifted down onto the strings of the guqin. Cheng Lixue quickly stood up, pushed open the door, and looked at the person in the hall with joy.

"Master, you're here!"

Fu Hua stared blankly at a painting on the wall. Hearing Cheng Lixue's call, she snapped back to reality and refused Cheng Lixue's hospitality. She told her not to worry.

"Master will protect you."

The moment the feather landed, the scene changed rapidly. On a grassy field filled with birdsong and flowers, Fu Hua looked up slightly.

"The flowers have bloomed so early this year."

"Winter passes and spring returns, another year gone by. Lixue has grown up too..."]

"Old Timer, when did you take on another disciple?" Senti asked in surprise.

"I didn't." Fu Hua was dumbfounded. "I only have one disciple, Sushang."

Fu Hua was twenty, and her only disciple was the twenty-four-year-old Li Sushang. Despite her master being four years younger, Li Sushang could still affectionately call her "Master-daddy."

...

"Actually, at the beginning, I wanted the role of Fu Hua..." Cheng Lixue said in a small voice.

"Lixue-er, how does it feel to have a master who is ten years younger than you?" Salome covered her mouth and giggled.

"Why does Kirara get to live?"

"I suspect..." Rita smiled. "Lord Yàqīng might have a crush on Miss Kira."

"Holy crap, Rita, where did you get this inside scoop?" The other beauties looked at Rita in shock.

Rita squinted like a fox. "Of course, it's..."

[In the Schicksal training room, Shab believed that her own lack of ability had led to Salome's death. She trained like a madwoman, pushing her own potential. At that moment, Cecilia, who hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time, also came to the training ground and proposed to train with Shab.

However, Shab, an A-rank Valkyrie, couldn't even withstand a single blow from Cecilia. After she fainted, Cecilia gently let her rest her head on her lap. When Shab woke up, she comforted her gently.]

"So gentle!"

"Madam doesn't look like she's had a child at all."

"I will always love Cecilia!"

...

"Mama is so beautiful and gentle," Kiana deliberately snuggled into Mei's arms and said loudly, "I will always love Mama!"

"Old Timer, you're quite good-looking," Senti said casually. "Looks like after this movie, you're going to be a big star."

"Senti, don't be ridiculous," Fu Hua blushed.

[The Schicksal Valkyries watched Otto's pre-battle speech on the big screen.

"Today, the devil has once again invaded our homeland. It has killed our families and destroyed our cities. It thinks we will be afraid, that it can easily destroy us. It is wrong. The warriors of Schicksal will never yield!"

"For five hundred years, we have been preparing for this moment. We will show it that humanity will not be slaughtered at will! We are the warriors of Schicksal, and we will protect our home!"

Among the many Valkyries, Shigure Kira glanced back slightly.

"In the north, we will fight the devil in the sky. The strongest Valkyrie, Cecilia, has returned. She will dispel the storm for us."

Cecilia raised her massive lance high.

"In the south, we will fight the devil on the sea. Our respected commander, Cheng Lixue, will lead us to defend every inch of our land to the death."

The Key of Sentience in Cheng Lixue's hand radiated a cold light.

"In the east, we will retake our cities from the devil's grasp. This time, I, Otto Apocalypse, will join you all—to fight the devil to the death!"

Otto raised his hands.

And on a certain rampart, Fu Hua was shown from behind, her legs crossed. "Otto, those words you just said... how much of it was truly heartfelt?"]
