Bab 25: Chapter 25: "Prepare"

A year and a half passed once again.

With the appearance of the increasingly severe Honkai beast. K-423 knows that her time is drawing near.

Siegfried was forced to give up training half a year ago. With the help of Siegfried whose combat power had surpassed that of an ordinary S-rank valkyrie. Together with little Kiana, they have no obstacles at all to exterminate the Honkai beasts in the area.

They are busy every day to eradicate the Honkai beasts that appear everywhere. They rarely even go home, and prefer to stay in the wild at night before they continue their journey the next day.

This makes K-423's resolve to extract the Herrscher of Void from the herrscher core stronger by the day.

It wasn't just Siegfried and little Kiana who had developed during these nearly one and a half years. K-423 also developed rapidly.

The stigmata space of the Kaslana family can store all the memories belonging to their lineage passively or actively. This meant that anyone with authority could step in and watch their memories at will.

Now, there are four people who have that authority. Overseer Homu, K-423, Avatar Kevin, and the real Kevin.

To prevent the real Kevin, and supervisor Homu from seeing Siegfried and Kiana's memories. K-423 uses her own authority to isolate their information channel, and replaces it with a fake memory.

It's all very not easy.

However, she still managed to do it.

The authority she had in the stigmata space of the Kaslana family was sufficient to do so. Her authority level has also reached 99%, only one step away from kicking Kevin out of his house.

"Kiana, your body is very hot, are we going to the hospital?" Siegfried became worried.

K-423's voice appeared in Siegfried's mind: "[Don't worry, it's very likely that the Herrscher of Void will act soon. Kiana's consciousness has already been pulled into Fenghuang Down's fur. We are now just waiting for her to take the bait.]"

During these one and a half years, the thing that caused the most trouble wasn't Siegfried's training. But rather the attitude of the Herrscher of Void itself.

She was like a very cowardly mouse. One hit, takes a long time to get her out of the hole again.

Every day K-423 has to rack her little brain to find a way to weaken Herrscher of Void's vigilance. This year and a half is a very long time of drama.

K-423 hates the Herrscher of Void even more.

Fortunately, this wait will not last long. Showtime is coming soon.

At Schicksal headquarters...

As K-423 waits for the Herrscher of Void to come out and make trouble. The Valkyrie in charge of the Belarusian branch also couldn't stay silent.

They found that in the Belarusian transition zone, there is a honkai energy reaction field that has abnormal data.

Usually the fulness of honkai energy occurs for several reasons. The discovery of a civilization from the previous era, and the eruption of a honkai explosion that was almost exactly the same as ten years ago.

The intelligence department of the frontline discovered that the increased honkai energy there was concentrating in an area. At worst, the great crash will happen again.

All the Valkyries in the Belarusian branch became very tense.

Stormtrooper, as the valkyrie Assault Squad team which has many A-rank members, and served in Belarus. They were ordered by Overseer Otto himself to investigate the abnormal area that had appeared there.

Ragna Lothbrok, team leader of Stormtrooper, also joins this mission along with her fellow valkyrie team members.

"Remember, there are 12 abnormal point nodes that need to be investigated. 12 valkyrie teams will be dispatched to check and troubleshoot the honkai that are there. A team from the intelligence department will also work with you to analyze the honkai energy data."

"If there are no questions, please go to your respective locations, and prepare to depart immediately."

With the completion of doctor Mirilim's words, a soulium puppet controlled by Otto. The valkyrie team all dispersed, and they started getting ready.

"Strange, why are you all spirits so low?" Ragna looked at her team members curiously.

This is a very rare sight.

Apart from complaining that their days off weren't long enough, and always drank alcohol secretly when they weren't on duty. Of all the existing valkyrie teams, Stormtrooper members are the most barbaric when it comes to eradicating Honkai beasts.

All of her team members were A-rank valkyries. Due to their strength, and their dedication to mercilessly exterminate the Honkai beasts. They all have their own reputation among the other valkyrie teams.

Many valkyries say that a Stormtrooper team member is like a muscular gorilla wielding a deadly weapon.

Some say that all of her team members are workaholics. When in fact they are all the people who want the most holiday.

According to Ragna, everything the other valkyries had said actually had some truth to it. In fact, it was even worse than the rumors circulating out there.

All of the valkyries on her team are madmen.

When they hear that there are Honkai beasts in a certain area, they will immediately rush there like they were injected with dragon blood.

Will never stop until they are tired.

As a lone pacifist, Ragna who managed to take a rare vacation to an orphanage, now understood why she could become the leader of a group of crazy valkyries like them.

A very ironic truth.

However now, seeing that all of the valkyries became extremely nervous. Ragna also raised her eyebrows curiously.

"Captain, aren't you scared? The third honkai eruption incident might happen again here."

"Oh, it turns out that you guys are worried about that. You just made me worry for nothing. I thought you all took the wrong medicine."

Ragna understood their feelings. However most of them are refugees who survived the Siberian tragedy ten years ago. The terror of the second honkai eruption was still fresh in their minds.

Ragna clapped her hands in a very loud voice.

"Come on girls, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Do you still remember the duty of the Valkyries? We have to fight the honkai and protect the safety of our family! And what is the scariest thing about a honkai? It can happen anytime and anywhere. This is the reason why we are all here."

"But now, what have we discovered? An area that has the potential to crash! We prepared for something like this long ago, there is nothing for us to fear anymore."

"At the same time, we still need to start research there to allow scientists to uncover the secret reasons for the frequent honkai here. Whether they are the remains of an earlier civilization, or another major collapse. Either way, the experience we gain will be applied throughout the world. All of us will have a part to contribute to all of humanity."

Ragna paused to give the Valkyries time to think. Seeing that everyone's expressions were no longer heavy-hearted, becoming even more heated, she said with a smile:

"After all, we're all Valkyries, right?"

With the completion of Ragna's words. The morale of the team members recovered.

"Oh, yeah, Himeko. Sorry for dragging a newbie like you into the fray like this. You may not be used to it, so you can follow us from behind and learn slowly. Don't worry, I'll protect you."

A valkyrie who has red hair, like red wine. Nodding her head nervously.

"Thank you, captain Ragna."
