"Ha!"
Durandal fired a shot, hitting Delta's protective shield and sending her flying.
At the same time, fine invisible blades approached Durandal.
Durandal knew that this attack could not be defended against, and before being cut, she had already chased Delta, her figure piercing the sky like light.
This horrific war, which seemed like a myth to the people on the ground, was quite boring for the two parties involved.
Delta had absolute defense and attack power, but unfortunately, she could not catch up with Durandal's speed.
Durandal could ignore the strong wind and air pressure, instantly avoid the vacuum zone created by Delta, and even easily evade those weird and dangerous ideal fluid thread attacks. Durandal made these endless attack methods completely ineffective, and instead could repeatedly approach Delta's side—but unfortunately, she could not break the defense at all.
The glorious battle imagined by ordinary people actually turned into a boring war of attrition. Whoever falls into a slump in basic conditions such as Honkai energy, physical strength, and spirit first will lose.
However, Delta is a serious Herrscher, and Durandal is a monster whose basic attributes even surpass those of a Herrscher. There is no sign of the end of the war of attrition between them.
"Boom!!!"
Another earth-shattering and violent collision.
The aftermath of the strong wind shattered by Durandal continued to spread far away on the earth.
Most people in the Oceania branch had become numb after watching the battle for so long.
"It's been so long. Is Delta really crazy and can't wake up?"
"Obviously, that mouth is so irritating. That kind of person should live a long time..."
"Anyway, pray that Lord Durandal can win; otherwise, who can stop the crazy Delta?"
The Oceania Valkyries whispered. Even half of the troops guarding the archbishop had dispersed to assist the branch in disaster relief and build facilities to resist the strong winds. They were already somewhat numb.
The main reason was that they could see their weak power and could not play any role in the face of terrifying power, so they had to resign themselves to fate.
Otto who was originally confident, also began to get bored. He had already tasted the degree of integration of the Herrscher Gem and its power and authority. There was really no need to continue watching the special effects blockbuster show.
Next, it was time for the main course.
"Send a message to Durandal: Force Delta back to where she was when it began"
"...Yes!"
Rita glanced at Otto's back, then at Wendy, who was in a state of despair in her arms, and suddenly realized something. She felt a little sorry and guilty.
But in the end, she followed Otto's orders.
In the sky, Durandal, who received the order, began to consciously hit Delta towards the branch.
Fortunately, Delta knew "nothing" about this and just kept launching various attacks of extremely terrifying scale and destructive power, chasing Durandal's true body like light and shadow.
"Bang!!!"
After a while, Durandal and Delta inside the protective shield were hit hard into the ground, creating a huge crater on the original site of the laboratory.
"Overseer, Delta has been sent to you. Please give me your instructions!"
Durandal appeared in front of Otto with a gust of wind, her golden hair flying wildly, and her back with a spear was even more beautiful and heroic. This scene moved many of the Valkyries watching; they couldn't help but clamp their legs.
There was no way; it was too beautiful, and it felt too safe.
Who could resist the charm of the strongest and invincible Golden Saint Dudu, the iron-blooded rose on the battlefield?
Only Wendy turned a blind eye to this and broke free from Rita's arms.
"Delta!!"
Wendy screamed and ran towards Delta in a panic.
She didn't know what Delta was like now, and she didn't know what she could do.
Only infinite sorrow drowned her heart.
But no matter what, to get to Delta's side, Wendy had to get to Delta's side. This was the only thought on Wendy's mind at this moment.
Then, Otto grabbed her shoulder with one hand and stopped her movements.
"Overseer..."
"Delta, I'm Otto, the Archbishop of Destiny, and I'm talking to you now!"
Otto ignored the pitiful expression of the little girl's anxious tears and grabbed Wendy's shoulder and speaking to the bottom of the pit.
At this time, Delta, who was unharmed, also slowly flew up from under the ground, covering her face with one hand. Her unstable and strong emotions flashing in her golden eyes, sometimes painful and sometimes murderous.
"Ah!"
Delta screamed and fired an ideal fluid thread attack in the direction of Otto, cutting the ground away.
"King! Queen!"
Durandal flashed in front of Otto, and the two huge mechas he carried with him appeared at the same time. Then a large amount of Honkai energy gathered in the lance, turning into a beam of golden torrents with brilliant light.
"Boom!!!"
Even an energy attack comparable to the main gun of a high-tech battleship would hardly destroy the ideal fluid made by Delta, but it was enough to knock these attacks away with such force.
After the loud noise, Durandal stood between Otto and Delta like an unshakable pillar.
Durandal said solemnly:
"Delta has not yet regained consciousness. Please be careful, Bishop!"
"It's okay. Step back, let me try next."
Otto waved calmly.
Durandal then slowly stepped back and stood beside Otto, ready to be called at any time.
Otto grabbed the bewildered Wendy and took a few steps forward. Then a golden pistol appeared in his hand.
"Delta, listen to me. If you don't wake up, Wendy will die in front of you!"
Otto raised his voice, with the muzzle of the gun against Wendy's temple.
Except for Rita, who had expected it, and Durandal, who frowned, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Otto continued to move forward.
"Wake up! Look at everything around you, look at everything you have created. Is this what you want to do? Do you know how worried Wendy is about you? Look at your only friend; she has shed countless tears for you!"
"So, be strong! Find yourself, even if it's just for Wendy!"
Otto said in a deep tone, and as he continued to move forward, Wendy being held at gunpoint became clearer and clearer in Delta's eyes.
Delta stepped back a little bit.
She once again grabbed her head tightly with both hands, and bent her body in pain, as if she had returned to her original state, fighting against some powerful influence.
Wendy watched this scene, having forgotten the threat of the gun. She just burst into tears and said tremblingly:
"Delta... can you still... recognize me?"
"I am Wendy!"
"Do you remember when we first met at the beach? At that time, I was still in a wheelchair, and you were very healthy. At that time, you pushed me around the branch every day, and you always taught me to enjoy life and cherish the present."
"Do you still remember the sunrises we watched together, the thermos cup I bought online and the wolfberries you bought online? And you remember what you said... We are best friends, Delta!"
Wendy cried and wanted to run over to hug Delta but was controlled by Otto and could not move forward. She could only cry in front of the "painful" Delta.
Delta gradually stopped shaking and covered her face with one hand.
"Ah... Wendy..."
She seemed to recall something, panting, and her expression of violent struggle stabilized a little, revealing a bit of confusion.
Wendy's tearful face suddenly lit up:
"Delta!"
"Humph...hahaha!"
At this moment, Delta suddenly raised her head, looked at Wendy and Otto with crazy golden eyes, and stretched out her hand with a wild laugh.
Countless invisible blades flew away.
"It's over!" × N
Countless exclamations sounded at the same time, and Durandal rushed forward at high speed, but it was too late to rescue.
"Alas, after all..."
When Wendy had no way to react, she only heard Otto's emotional sigh.
Then, Otto turned around, facing the upcoming attack, and hugged Wendy in his arms.
Otto: "Come, cut Wendy and me into pieces together, and then use the grief of Wendy's sacrifice to defeat the Will of Honkai, Delta!"
Delta: "Go to hell! You can still maintain your image at this time, you are worthy of it! And you blocked Wendy's body, so I can't avoid her, damn it!"
The two actors had completely different thoughts.
However, what Otto wanted was to see a real experience of human victory over the Heart of the Herrrscher, and what Delta wanted was to let Otto see that everyone's goals were actually quite the same.
Therefore, these sharp blades were urgently dispersed to both sides, and in the end only cut off the arms of Otto's soulium body, but saved Wendy's body intact.
At the same time, Delta screamed to the sky.
"Ah!!!"
In the extremely painful scream, countless cracks appeared in the unbreakable ideal fluid shield, forming a visual special effects picture visible to the naked eye.
"Opportunity!"
Durandal, who had no time to defend Otto's attack, quickly changed her target and pierced the shaky shield with her lance, piercing Delta's abdomen.
Delta's scream stopped abruptly.
She slowly lowered her head and looked at her pierced lower abdomen, where blood was pouring out. Her golden eyes flickered and gradually turned back to an ordinary blue.
Durandal saw the slight confusion on Delta's face and felt her suddenly weakened and stabilized Honkai energy, and hesitated:
"Delta, you..."
Delta did not give Durandal time to ask a complete question. She just gently pushed out the tip of the spear in her abdomen, then staggered and stumbled past Durandal.
Under the gaze of everyone, Delta dragged her little feet with blood constantly flowing down, leaving a blood mark with every step, and walked towards Otto and Wendy with a wooden and trance-like expression.
At this time, Otto had already knelt in front of Wendy and smiled at her with tears in her eyes:
"I'm sorry to drag you into danger when I was not sure. Now, go and hug her; the child needs you."
Wendy rushed over before she finished her voice.
Delta took a few steps slowly, staggered when Wendy rushed over, slowly moved forward, and finally fell into Wendy's arms.
Wendy hugged Delta and cried bitterly. She didn't know what to say, so she could only desperately call out her friend's name:
"Delta! Delta!!"
"Ah, I'm back. So don't cry, Wendy..."
Delta gently stroked the back of Wendy's head with her bloody little hand, then she fell on Wendy, her face as pale as paper, but she closed her eyes peacefully.
The onlookers all felt sympathetic to this bloody and pitiful scene.
"Hahaha! Success! I knew it was possible! Great, you guys are really great!"
Only Otto, who had lost both arms, sat on the ground with his legs crossed, and laughed heartily with great satisfaction.
...
At the same time, in all parts of the world, and even in the more unreachable Theater of Domination, all the Angels were excited at the same time.
"There are many people to thank for getting to this point!"
"Thanks to our parents in both worlds who raised us! Thank you to everyone in Saint Freya for their trust and care! Thank you to Mr. Gray Serpent for the generous information!"
"Most importantly, thank you to Sister Sirin for providing the complete script!"
"Listen to me, thank you~~"
The Angels stood up with gratitude and expressed their heartfelt thanks to all the people on the thank you list, especially to their elder sister who was extremely unfriendly when they first met.
