"Ahahaha, she's joking, don't take it seriously. Delta just has a strong sense of humor~~"
Wendy scratched her head and smiled awkwardly in response to Delta's harsh words, explaining to the two people around her.
Durandal didn't believe it, but the battlefield situation forced her to accept it. She didn't think this approach needed reprimanding; at most, it just looked a bit odd.
Himeko didn't believe it either. She touched her chin, casually put her arm around Wendy's shoulders, and asked curiously:
"How much of this is out of a personal grudge?"
"To be honest, 100%!"
"Great!"
"Nothing, who makes her always out of tune? She should be taught a lesson occasionally."
Wendy waved her hand carelessly. Under the Hyperion, the sea was turbulent. The rumbling sound of the water flow was accompanied by the high-intensity collapse energy, which was increasing to the point where even the Valkyries felt uncomfortable. Everything was getting more and more intense, as if the East Shenzou Sea was about to turn over.
In this horrible scene, the petite girl in a long fluttering skirt fell like a white feather, and her snow-white boots gently touched the sea surface.
"Hu~~"
The cool sea breeze blew on the faces of everyone at the scene. At this moment, there was only this little wind left. Within the visible range, and even in the wider area that could not be seen by the naked eye, the entire sea that was previously stormy was as calm as a mirror, except for the dirty and dark silt color.
"Actually, it was really suppressed?"
There was a moment of blankness in everyone's mind. Both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy said that the Herrscher was a natural disaster, but only those who really witnessed this scene could understand what the concept of a natural disaster was.
Even Durandal felt lucky at this time. "I, can't do it."
"Hmm? Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. What are you talking about, Durandal?"
"Senior Himeko, I mean I can't do it. Maybe in a head-on battle, I am not afraid of Delta's power, but I definitely can't do what she is doing now. It's not the same concept. I am very glad that Delta is a Valkyrie of Schicksal and one of our own."
"Who said it wasn't... Wait, are you saying you can fight her!?"
Himeko turned her head sharply and looked at Durandal.
Durandal blinked and said in confusion:
"Really? What's wrong?"
"Can you beat this thing?"
"Don't call her 'this thing,' Delta is a companion, Senior Himeko. But I just said that you can try to fight her. It's hard to say who will win or lose. After all, I have never seen Delta's true full strength."
"You are awesome."
Himeko nodded blankly, with some confusion on her beautiful face.
Could it be that I have been away from the front line for too long and can no longer keep up with the headquarters' version? Are the requirements for S-levels so high now?
Rita is also a new version of S-level. I can't believe she has such a level. It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead!
Himeko sighed with mixed feelings, then her expression changed, pointing to the sea ahead and said:
"Look! Something is coming out!"
Everyone's eyes focused on the sea. Under the turbid, mirror-like surface, a huge black shadow appeared. No one could tell its shape; it was all they could see. This huge and terrifying body made even those who had never had giant phobia suffer from it now.
"Boom!!!"
The black shadow quickly hit the mirror-like sea surface, making a huge sound that spread throughout the sea area. Everyone held their breath involuntarily until they found that Chiyou failed to break through the surface and did not raise waves, and then they eased a little.
Himeko stared at the ubiquitous scene under the sea, which looked like black rocks and scales, with a serious face, and took a deep breath.
"This is all Chiyou!"
Himeko murmured, and suddenly turned her head to look at the offshore base not far away. On Cocolia's gloomy face, Himeko saw the same solemnity and anxiety as herself. Himeko's heart moved, and she felt this was a good time to negotiate peace.
Just then, Cocolia waved her hand and let all the white mechas surrounding the Hyperion disperse.
"Cooperate, solve Chiyou first, and then talk about other things. The East Shenzou Sea coast is an area of great importance to the global economy and a concentration of population and technology. Once it is lost, it will not be a matter of one city or one country. I believe you have enough judgment."
Himeko nodded and said decisively: "Okay! Truce, cooperate!"
At this moment, no one questioned the temporary agreement between the two. Having witnessed the tip of Chiyou's iceberg, no one would question Chiyou's harm and terror. Now, even if the archbishop and the leader of the alliance came out and asked both sides to ignore Chiyou's threat and continue the grievances of sixty years, it might not work.
Then the Hyperion floated next to the East Shenzou Sea Base, and Cocolia signaled Xing to go back with her eyes.
"But mom..."
"Be obedient!"
"..."
"Good boy, mom is a thousand-year-old fox, do you still need to worry about me? You staying here will distract me."
Cocolia leaned over and kissed the top of Sin's head. Sin bit her lips and stared at the gentle smile on Cocolia's face. After a long time, she said with red eyes:
"Wait for you to come back at home... If you don't come back, I won't cook, and starve those two little fools to death!"
"Okay, mom promises you! Let's make a pinky promise~~"
"No, childish!"
Sin turned her head and walked away. But three seconds later, the little girl with a gloomy expression turned back and hooked Cocolia's little finger.
"Let's make a promise for a hundred years, and don't lie!"
"Okay!"
Cocolia smiled and touched Sin's forehead.
After seeing her obediently retreating to the base protected by a team of Titan BTs, she lost all the tenderness and smile on her face and stepped onto the deck of the Hyperion alone.
"Durandal, Theresa Apocalypse, and Murata Himeko, I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be on the same front with you."
"I didn't expect it either. This is the unpredictability of the world. But Honkai is like this. No one can predict what will happen in the next second. Death and turning enemies into friends are both normal."
Himeko replied, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Sin's small back as she walked into the base.
'You really love your daughter. No wonder Bronya cares about her so much. And you are very courageous.'
Himeko glanced at the Valkyries around her again. She knew that Cocolia was not a combatant. Going to Hyperion alone was like a lamb shedding its last layer of wool and walking naked into a pack of wolves. It was rare that Himeko, Durandal, Theresa, and many other Valkyries had more or less admiration for the anti-entropy executive in front of them.
"Our leader is already in Chiyou's body. Although it is too late to stop it from waking up, it seems that going deep into Chiyou's body is the only possible way to kill it - how long can your S-level stay on the sea surface?"
Cocolia pointed to Delta standing on the calm sea in the distance and asked.
Himeko gave Wendy a look. Wendy put her hands on her mouth and made a trumpet gesture:
"Delta, how long can you hold on?"
"Half a day, if its resistance does not increase sharply."
Delta's light voice was heard by everyone with the sea breeze. She herself grabbed the thermos cup and slowly drank the wolfberry hot water. She looked like a delicate lady who was taking good care of her health.
Cocolia immediately asked:
"Can you open a passage into its mouth?"
"You are so troublesome... It can't hold on for too long, at most five minutes."
Delta seemed to have anticipated the reprimand that Wendy was about to blurt out and suddenly changed the tone of the conversation. Then, Chiyou under the sea seemed to be controlled by some powerful force, and the huge body suddenly stopped moving. At the same time, a dark vortex slowly formed on the sea surface, revealing a dark hole leading to the sea.
Cocolia made a gesture.
"Go!"
The next second, dozens of Titan BTs flew into the black hole, one of which flew over the deck of the Hyperion, grabbed Cocolia's body, and jumped in together. The Valkyries also looked at each other and then jumped down one after another at Himeko's forward gesture.
Soon, on the calm sea, only Delta was left, leisurely drinking wolfberry water with a leisurely smile on her face, as if she was completely indifferent to the Chiyou beast under her feet.
'It's a pity, but the protagonists of this drama are not you.'
