Adelheid and Bianka backed off after their clash. And of course, Tilie's clones won't miss their chance. The three gundams did a volley of long range attacks immediately.
"Not today!" Adelheid created a wall of pressurized wind around her. Supplementing it with lightning as the attacks cancelled each other out.
"Good reflexes, Adelheid-san. Allow me to compliment your quick thinking." Adelheid heard Rita's voice behind her and she immediately whipped her head around. Seeing tons of knives that were aimed right at her.
"Tch, there's always a pattern!" Adelheid's processing power was tested to the limit. The knives then almost teleported from their speed.
Adelheid has successfully parried the ones she can't dodge. But she was sweating bullets, seeing Abyss Flower have multiple dents from Rita's attacks.
And when she thought that she was safe. Bianka's glowing eyes shone in front of her and had her leg overhead. Her muscles bulging with tension as Adelheid immediately created a bubble of gravity on her arms to dampen the blow.
Bianka roared and delivered an axe kick at Adelheid like she was a mole. Compressing air with so much force and pressure that nuclear fusion has started.
Adelheid plummeted to the ground at breakneck speeds. The earth rippled from immense force, a fireball 10 kilometers wide. Evaporating almost anything at its wake. Tsunamis then raged at the Atlantic ocean. It was a grand spectacle that people from over 1000 kilometers away could see.
"Ara~ Bianka-san. Goshujin-sama would give you negative points for that." Rita chuckled as she stopped time in front of her allies.
"Hmph, if Adelheid-san can be stopped with that. Then she is a weakling." Bianka squinted her eyes and prepared for her counterattack.
"Holy shit, what is Ein-san feeding these girls?" Adelheid coughed from the dust that accumulated and she noticed that the bones on her arms were cracked.
"Damn. They're clearly testing me, they aren't even attacking me all at once." Adelheid's pride took a blow and she healed herself.
"I need to step up my game then." She breathed in deep and coated her arms with pressurized air. She then added some gravity for good measure as her fists vibrated violently.
She loaded up her legs with honkai energy and took out the air resistance in front of her. "Here I come!" She gave a fierce roar as she leaped to Bianka's position.
Her sudden speed surprised Bianka, giving her the opportunity to slug her square on the face. "Eat this!" Like a delayed explosion, her fist unloaded the pressurized bomb after making impact.
Like a laser, the air behind Bianka got cut in two. Parting the clouds and the atmosphere as she got launched to outer space with her uppercut.
A resounding explosion then rumbled and the shockwave decimated everything for hundreds of miles.
"Hmmm. It seems that Bianka-san flew quite far. That was not nice of you, Adelheid-san. She even hit you to the ground so you won't fly to outer space." Rita was still calm and it unnerved Adelheid.
Unicorn Banshee entered destruction mode and immediately released its anti-honkai fields. Multiple pods then got released into the battlefield. Tilie made her bootleg anti-honkai tech using Unicorn Banshee.
"Don't count me out, dear Adelheid. Human ingenuity can go a long way." Tilie taunted her and was amused at Adelheid's pinch.
'Ugh, damned crazy blonde! The regeneration of my honkai energy is being equalized by those things!' Adelheid was fine, but she would inevitably lose at a battle of attrition.
"It seems you are now in a pinch, Adelheid-san. Allow me to defeat you quickly." Rita bowed and disappeared from her place, stopping time.
Adelheid kept looking for her, but she suddenly spat out blood. Receiving multiple blows on her ribs and abdomen while in stopped time.
"Damn. She's using hax!" Adelheid got frustrated and dodged the lasers and shells that rained upon her, courtesy of the three gundams. She tried leaving, but she suddenly went spiralling down at the ground again as she spat out a loose tooth.
"No leaving~" Rita floated in front of her with her everpresent elegant smile. "Damnit Ein-san, I'm totally going to ask for a vacation after this." Adelheid wiped her mouth and thought of ways to get out of there.
Meanwhile, Bianka crashed at Mars. She admired the landscape for a moment before she remembered that she needed to kick Adelheid's ass.
"Hmm, if I remember correctly. Mars is approximately 120 million kilometers away from Earth. Hah, what a pain." Bianka smirked and thought that her fight would be quite fun.
"It'll take at least 3 plus minutes to return to Earth. If the time I took would be the basis. I'll definitely beat your ass when I come back, Adelheid-san." Bianka was pissed and she assumed a crouch.
She then loaded up her legs with as much force and energy she could. She eyed Earth like a predator and her fury was to the max. She then leaped, entering relativistic speeds instantly as Mars experienced quakes all over. Leaving spiderweb cracks at the planet that would baffle scientists.
Adelheid was at a stalemate with Rita and she has created an armor of gravity around her. Repelling everything that came close.
Her reserves were slowly, but surely being eaten away by her intense armor and Rita was protecting the interference pods.
"Tch. You can't do that forever, Rita." Adelheid concluded that Rita can't reverse time on the pods forever and she was correct.
"How observant, Adelheid-san. You are absolutely correct, only my master can do that. But aren't you forgetting something?" Rita gave a sly smile and Adelheid raised a brow.
"Hmm, at least 3 minutes have passed. I need to make a barrier you see, please excuse me." Rita disappeared and a dome appeared on the battlefield. The gundams immediately went outside and Adelheid had a foreboding feeling.
She created a pseudo black hole at all sides and used them like an aegis. Creating layers upon layers of shields with every core she had. And it was a good idea.
As the world went white, Bianka crashed down on earth at near light speed. Releasing energy that was at least a thousand times more energetic than the Tsar Bomba.
"Ugh, I don't want to do that again. Thanks, Rita. You're a lifesaver." Bianka gave a thumbs up at her partner. Rita then bowed and gave a smile. "Why thank you for your trust in me, Bianka-san."
Adelheid then got out of her shell, mostly unscathed. But she saw the gigantic crater on the ground and started sweating.
"Tch, your face looks really punchable right now. Adelheid-san." Bianka clicked her tongue at her and started stretching her muscles.
"It really pisses me off." Bianka released a cold breath and her golden eyes turned into slits. Entering her honkai reactive form. Her Dea Anchora armor turning black with blue highlights.
The surroundings then started to freeze to nigh absolute zero. "Yare, yare. Human ingenuity has nothing on you guys, huh?" Tilie started retreating and would rather focus on Anti-Entropy or St. Freya that will launch an attack at her soon.
"Bye~ have fun." She immediately flew as far as she could as Bianka has stopped transforming. Her hair, turning silvery white, her teeth turning into sharp daggers. Her body emitting frigid temperatures as the land turned into diamond dust at her every step.
"It seems you've made her quite angry, Adelheid-san." Rita chuckled and she backed off from their showdown. Creating a barrier so they won't cause chaos and destruction at Europe from their clash.
"You don't say!" Adelheid shouted at Rita and threw Abyss Flower away. As it would surely not be of use. "You're not the only one that has a trick up their sleeve. Gate of wonder, open!" Adelheid's skin turned pinkish and her skin opened circuit like vents. Releasing steam as her body pumped out honkai energy like a reactor.
"Hirudora!" Adelheid launched herself at Bianka and created massive amounts of air pressure at her fist. Bianka met her head on and let out a primal roar. The universe she had on her chest, working overtime to supply her with strength.
And when their fists collided, their arms rippled from the intense clash. They then stopped for a second and Rita was amused. "Ara~ They're like little boys that are fighting aren't they?" Rita shook her head and thought that their fighting style was unlady like.
"Primary lotus!" Adelheid disappeared and Bianka got overturned in the air. She then bear hugged her and spun themselves like a drill. But Adelheid threw Bianka at the ground and launched her like a meteor.
Before the dust even settled. Bianka leaped towards her. "You're not the only one with a martial art! Bo-bup!" Bianka disappeared and Adelheid tried predicting where she would strike.
"3rd stance!" Adelheid received a round house at her temple. Her brain bounced at her skull and immediately lost consciousness for a split second.
She then got hit at the other side and with the help of the first two gates, along with the 3rd's core. She started up her brain and was able to block the third attack as she crashed to the ground.
"Reverse Lotus!" Adelheid made her move and hit Bianka at multiple angles. Her fists having tremendous weight from the 9th core.
After a few strikes, she got predicted and Bianka gave a front kick. Hitting Adelheid right at the chest as her sternum resounded with a crack. Adelheid got winded and immediately lost her momentum.
"Mach punch!" Bianka released a straight, right on her face. Sending her off to the edge of the barrier. Adelheid shook her head and glared at Bianka, raising her fighting spirit.
She then waited for Bianka to attack and released her counter. "Morning peacock!" A flurry of blows hit Bianka's torso. Cracking a few ribs, Bianka then used her backwards momentum and gave a crescent, upwards kick.
Clean on Adelheid's chin as she lost the light in her eyes again. As Bianka was the superior fighter, but Adelheid had more raw strength.
They then stared at each other as the tensions rose. Backing off from one another at an appropriate distance.
"Hah, hah. You're good." Adelheid commented, wiping her mouth, both of them panting from their fist fight.
"I could say the same. You have great power." Bianka squared up and they got into a stance. Prepared for their last clash as they both were exhausted.
The two then started jogging, they then got into a sprint. Both of them roared. "Strength of a hundred!" Adelheid concentrated her energy to the max and released it all on Bianka's torso.
"Fist of Taixuan!" Bianka used a similar concept and copied Fu Hua's blade mantra, but she could only use them as a buff for her fists as the required control was not enough. Unlike Sushang's godly talent.
Her fist crashed onto Adelheid's ribcage and their blows broke numerous bones. Adelheid's left ribcage and lung was a wreck and Bianka's sternum shattered.
They then flew away as their limp bodies crashed at Rita's barrier. Not able to move a single muscle from their injuries.
"Yare, yare. That's what you get for fighting like that." Rita gave a wry smile and she decided to not heal them as punishment.
She then gathered the two like sacks of potatoes and put the combatants closer. "Y-you're strong..." Adelheid uttered in a weak voice and Bianka snorted. "That was fun..."
"Hey... You asked. My name, why?" Bianka remembered Adelheid's question earlier and her reaction.
"Th-that silver hair... There's no more question anymore. You're... Kiana Kaslana. My niece." Adelheid teared up and she stroked Bianka's hair.
"I see. You guys probably did something, that's why Ein-nii hid me." Bianka immediately concluded and Adelheid cringed.
"What a joyful reunion, sadly. We must depart, I have protected Schicksal with what I can. But it was inevitably destroyed. I must return to my master's side." Rita picked them up and started walking.
"Ugh, Rita... You won't just call a VTOL and let us travel in peace huh?" Bianka struggled weakly and Rita just chuckled.
"Hah, anyways. Tell me everything, oh aunt of mine. Ein-nii never does anything without purpose. What did you do?" Bianka squinted her eyes in suspicion and Adelheid gave a cramped smile.

At the skies of Manila. One perky Hua was surfing in the air with her sword as she caught up with the ELF that was transporting Chen and her sister.
"Oiii! Wait up, I'll take care of things from here." Hua waved at the ELF and she got happy that she could return to her primary duties.
"For real? Yatta! Are you sure, Hua-san?" The ELF asked and Hua nodded, she then made them float as the little ELF flew back to her squad.
"Who are you?" Chen got a little vigilant as Hua looked shady as hell, wearing a pair of shades while carrying obviously dangerous weapons at her back.
"Hehehe, good question! I am Hua, the herrscher of sentience! The most awesome one of course! Praise the herrscher of sentience!" Hua raised her hands and the little girl vibed with her energy.
"Ohh! Praise the herrscher of sentience! You look so cool, nee-chan!" Ling got stars in her eyes. Seeing Hua fly at them while she was surfing her sword.
Hua high fived with her. "See, the little girl gets it! I like you girl, want to be my disciple? I practice martial arts you know? Observe." Hua spawned a honkai beast and used her sword to cut it up to pieces.
"Sugoiii! I'll be your disciple, nee-chan! You're so strong and cool!" Ling hugged her leg and Hua thought that kids were nice as she got a budding desire in her chest.
"Heh, of course! I am the best after all." She patted her head and Chen was still suspicious of her. But he decided to play along. Because if she wanted them dead, then they wouldn't be in one piece right now.
"As for you, kid. You have something a little special on you." Hua crossed her arms and Chen raised a brow, his curiosity killing him.
"W-what is it? Am I experiencing honkai corruption? They did say that males are more susceptible to it." He got anxious and Hua decided that it was convenient.
"That's right!" Hua nodded and Ling got concerned. "Is it that bad, nee-chan? Is big brother going to die?" She morbidly asked, seeing the zombies and remembering that they were corrupted, hearing it from the adults.
"Umu, if he doesn't do anything. Then your brother would go bleh." Hua tilted her head and gestured that Chen would be dead.
The little girl then started to cry and Chen tried consoling her. Hua had a smirk on her face and thought it was too easy.
"So how about I interest you with our lord and savior, Ein-nii. He'll cure your brother real quick." Hua smiled at Ling and the girl looked at her brother with teary eyes.
Hua had an evil smirk on her face for a second, but she immediately coughed and turned serious. "Big brother, let's go immediately! I don't want you to die." Ling did the puppy dog eyes and Chen cannot refuse.
"O-okay. This sounds shady as hell, but are you sure you can take care of it?" He asked with anxiety, Hua patted her on the back strongly and laughed.
"Don't doubt our savior! He will even give you a nice bowl of delicious noodles!" Hua enticed the little girl and she nodded, wiping her tears.
"Okay then, let's go. Come on, big brother! We have to be quick or you'll die!" She pulled on Chen and Hua had a wide grin on her face.
"Kekeke, like stealing candy from a baby." She whispered and Chen looked at her. "Did you say something?" He was really suspicious, but Hua just waved her hands and ignored him.
"Come on then! Let's go!" Hua created two more blades and strapped them on it. They then took to the skies as she secured her target.
