"Blood roses seem both beautiful and elegant," Himeko agreed with a nod. She then plunged herself into battle, exclaiming, "The damage is high, I keep losing health, and I end up dying instantly."
Himeko was engrossed in controlling her character, landing a powerful blow on the monster. Her health bar dropped drastically, but luckily, her damage was also high. She managed to defeat all enemies just before she died. After exiting the game, she looked at the skill description and was slightly taken aback, "Sacrifice life for higher damage? Is it a fair trade? I don't see a problem."
Theresa was shocked when she heard this and quickly reacted. She confronted Himeko and looked straight into her eyes: "Himeko, how's your health?"
"Decent, it can hold up for two years!" Himeko paused for a moment before replying with a smile.
"This doesn't… Isn't that quite bad? Himeko, come with me to get it checked out quickly." Theresa tried to pull Himeko along but couldn't move her.
"No thanks, Theresa. One knows their own body best. If this body wants to exert its former strength, it can only be exchanged for life just like the blood rose in the game."
"Blood roses, living up to their name. Blood splatters from the knife and forms roses," Himeko said with a touch of sadness.
"Foolish, what are you saying? In reality, you only have one life! Dying on the battlefield is the most romantic end for warriors. Besides, Theresa, can Schicksal heal Honkai erosion?"
"Also… Also, don't worry about it. As long as I'm here, I won't let you go out to fight again!" Theresa said angrily, crossing her arms over her chest and turning her face away.
"Wait, Theresa. Forget about those things and come look at this." Himeko became serious and her face turned slightly pale.
Theresa leaned over and grew increasingly angry. "They actually treated Wendy like this! I'll go settle the score with them!"
"Wait, Theresa. It's just a game!"
"Haven't we already confirmed that most of it is true?" Theresa was confused.
"Therefore, the game alone is certainly not enough to pressure the Oceania branch. The evidence is also insufficient," Himeko explained. "By the way, what happened when you tried to contact Wendy that night?"
"I… I couldn't reach her and there was no response." Theresa started panicking and immediately picked up the cross with the intention of confronting the Oceania branch directly.
"Calm down. How about asking Luo Mo? He should have more information," Himeko suggested.
"Great!" Himeko and Theresa decided. Since the latter half of the third chapter and the fourth chapter were opened a week later, they couldn't gather more detailed information from the game, so they headed straight to the Mihoyo company.
At that time, Luo Mo was happily watching the game data climb in the company. But soon, he received a communication from Bishop Kallen. Fu Hua was quietly playing the game on the side. She wasn't very good at it, mainly due to her bad luck. She didn't want to change her characters, so she kept trying hard. However, she still hadn't passed the third chapter and was carefully watching the plot.
"Ah, yes, yes, if Oceania has a Honkai energy reaction, it's not surprising that Wendy will indeed become the herrscher of the wind," Luo Mo said.
"Herrscher?" Fu Hua subconsciously stood up and listened carefully.
"What? Arrange for Rita to come and meet with St. Freya, let me go with me to rescue Wendy, and say that this is my punishment?" Luo Mo was surprised.
"The Oceania branch also rebelled? It doesn't make sense, isn't the reverse entropy all planning to cooperate with the Schicksal, and who will it turn to?" Luo Mo wondered.
"Part of the Anti-entropy is divided? Are you working with conservative sides? The branch is also just thinking this? Okay, okay, I see." Luo Mo understood.
"I thought Oceania was completely under control of Kallen! Without Otto's instruction, would anyone really dare to do a herrscher experiment?" Luo Mo questioned.
"Is the Oceania branch so unpredictable! And isn't there a problem with the timeline? Or, seeing the game, did Oceania move ahead of schedule?" Luo Mo speculated.
Soon, there was a knock on the door. Before Luo Mo could say please come in, Theresa and Himeko rushed in like a whirlwind. Before he could stand firmly, Theresa asked: "How is Wendy? Do you have a way to save her?"
"Wait a minute. Schicksal will be here soon. Plus Rita, our three S-class Valkyries are not yet hand-to-hand? By the way, bring Kiana and the three of them," Luo Mo suggested.
"That's enough?" Theresa looked at herself and thought about Rita. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Durandal would come too.
"No… The bishop did not mention Lord Durandal," Luo Mo clarified.
"Then how is it enough for three S-Class?" Theresa questioned.
Luo Mo glanced at Fu Hua and saw that she didn't want to take the initiative to stand up. So he joked and said: "First it's Rita, then it's S-class Valkyrie Judas, and finally its A-class Launcher and Himeko are also considered S-class."
"A-class launcher?" Theresa was confused but quickly reacted. Her face flushed with anxiety: "What are you talking about? You dare to say that about me?"
Luo Mo was frantically shaken by Theresa and had one after another afterimages in front of him. He hurriedly explained.
"Look, you're too nervous, I'm just joking! It's Fu Hua, Fu Hua. She has completed many tasks that are not inferior to the top A-class Valkyries, and together with Himeko, they are definitely equivalent to an S-class Valkyrie!" Luo Mo, who finally stopped shaking, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Hua, who was watching this scene indifferently, also nodded and agreed: "I will participate in this mission." Theresa quickly thanked Fu Hua, feeling that she was a good person who didn't hold grudges and focused on the overall situation.
Then they asked Kiana to join them through the communication device.
Soon after, Rita also arrived quickly. She just entered the door, stood elegantly on the side, and said to Theresa with a smile: "Lord Theresa, you can't deceive Lord Durandal so much in the future! Even though she is a bit naive, she can't be deceived by others!"
Apparently, Rita is extremely unhappy with the way Theresa informs Anti Entropy about Durandal's whereabouts over public radio.
"Ahaha! Games, just games, how could I do such a thing?" Theresa covered her face in embarrassment.
"Although it's a good thing that you believe in Lord Durandal's strength, I don't want this kind of betrayal to really happen, Lord Theresa!" Rita still said with a smile.
"No… No, how could I lie to her? I'm her aunt!" Theresa turned her head and said a little embarrassed. Rita just chuckled and didn't blame her.
"If Lord Theresa and Lord Durandal were to clash, it would be really difficult for me. But fortunately they are relatives," Rita thought to herself.
"Then again, wasn't my tone just now too harsh! Will it make Theresa dislike me?" Now Miss Rita is feeling a bit regretful.
