章節 250: Valkyries!

In Norse mythology, Valkyries are formidable female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Drawing inspiration from this myth, the term "Valkyries" had been adopted as a call sign for a squadron of F-35 Lightning II fighters.

At the airbase, the atmosphere was charged with urgency. Twenty F-35s were being rapidly prepped for takeoff. The ground crews worked with practiced speed, loading armaments, and running final checks. 

The pilots, clad in their flight suits, received the call from the command center. "Valkyries, this is Command. Scramble immediately. Your target is the Abyssal Leviathan, currently engaged off the coast. This creature has already taken down the Poseidon. Your mission: engage and neutralize. Use maximum firepower."

The Valkyries acknowledged the call.
