Chapter 131: Chapter 131: To fight the Honkai, Bishop, Please Abdicate!
The phrase "heart palpitations" Bronie heard wasn't actually the accelerated heartbeat she expected. Bronie couldn't help but feel annoyed that Durandal appeared so indifferent, especially when she had feelings for Rita.
Why didn't she have the same feelings for other girls? Could it be that the Kaslana's yuri genes hadn't awakened yet!? Or was it that only companionship was the longest confession?
However, Rita was far ahead in this regard.
Thinking of this, Bronie couldn't help but sigh and then continued the battle. Holding the long spear made for her younger sister, it clashed with Durandal's spear.
The long spear made from Soulium excavated by the Schicksal in the Mariana Trench clashed with the flashy gear-like long spear, bursting into fierce sparks.
This scene made Durandal frown.
Her weapon was the pinnacle of Schicksal's technology, so how could it be inferior?
Seeing the flawless long spear after the collision left Durandal puzzled. It was like a high-tech weapon colliding with a handmade one, yet the handmade one emerged unscathed, leaving her perplexed.
But the pace of battle didn't allow Durandal to dwell on these questions too much.
Bronie's elegant and precise combat stance with the long spear showcased her versatile style. Durandal began to doubt if she had been slacking off during her training at the Schicksal headquarters.
After all, Bronie claimed to be just a game producer. How could a game producer be such a skilled fighter?
And this long spear... whether it was an illusion or not, there appears to be a strong recoil force every time it collided.
"I said you can't fight yet this!"
Even with a broad mind, Durandal couldn't stop Bronie's agile movements. Watching Bronie teleport and disappear from time to time, she resembled a quantum shadow..
"This combat ability is actually learned from someone's hands. I can only perform like this. If it were you, you could definitely do better. Haven't you noticed?"
"Noticed what?"
"Noticed that this long spear isn't as simple as it seems!"
The sharp spear suddenly accelerated, and Durandal instinctively blocked it.
But after the long spear was blocked, Bronie swiftly changed her move, slashing Durandal's fragrant shoulder.
Then, another force struck, causing Durandal to notice that the blood flowing from her pierced shoulder seemed to float in the air as if it had lost gravity.
No, it should be said it was in slow motion.
Temporal fracture?
No, it wasn't like that.
Durandal had encountered Schicksal's a
Space-Time fracture system quite often, and this clearly wasn't the same.
Watching Bronie's figure accelerate again, Durandal used up her remaining strength to block for the last time. But this time, the long spear slipped from her hand, and even her combat stance couldn't hold steady. Then the long spear, like a dragon, aimed straight for her throat.
Upon closer inspection, Bronie had almost no injuries on her body.
"While you're still young, I'll take this opportunity to bully you a bit. You still have a lot of room to grow in the future. Let's end this match here."
The strength of the spear was impressive. Made while kept the Roman Cancel effects in the Guilty Gear in mind, it brought many surprises to Bronie in battle.
Whether it was the Roman Cancel during defense, which will send the opponent flying, or the sudden cancelation during an attack, it was extremely powerful in battles against both humans and Honkai Beasts.
Of course, a more powerful spear wouldn't be suitable for Sin or Anila. After all, Sin was just a seemingly fragile girl. Bronie made the long spear to provide both with a self-defense weapon when she was outside.
A weapon too powerful without the ability to use it would only harm the user.
"Thanks for the match."
Seeing Bronie no longer interested in fighting, Durandal also came to her senses, and the battle had ended.
Looking at Bronie's outstretched hand with mixed feelings, Durandal grabbed it and stood up.
Then, she followed Bronie back to the orphanage.
She still felt a sense of unreality, but her injuries still faintly aching were constantly reminding Durandal of her failure.
"Sorry, Miss Jingwei, my Valkryie Battlesuit may..."
Upon returning, she saw Fu Hua holding Fuxi coming out. Upon seeing her, Fu Hua wore a worried expression, and Durandal felt unexpectedly cherished.
Yes, now Durandal looked quite miserable. All her Valkryie Battlesuit had turned into fragments, hanging on her body with only sports underwear, and her almost mature but still young fruit was more conspicuous than Fu Hua's.
"Victory and defeat are common in warfare. You just need to remember this failure and strive to move forward."
"In fact, the Valkryie Battlesuit was just hacked by me, it didn't have not much damage. Let's end it here. After unlocking the data, your Valkryie Battlesuit will naturally restore itself."
At this point, Seele nearby took out a medical kit and began to apply iodine to Durandal's wounds.
"I see... I'll talk to the Overseer about being vigilant against the possibility of the Valkryie Battlesuit being hacked, although most Honkai Beasts wouldn't have that ability."
"In the previous era, after the birth of the 12th Herrscher, it manipulated nuclear bombs and launched it at the last three shelters of the previous era. Otto should be aware of this."
"Ah!?"
Durandal was slightly stunned, then the pain from the iodine application on her wound made her tremble involuntarily.
"Sorry, I accidentally hurt you..."
"No, that's just a reflex, and your actions are very gentle, it's not that painful."
Seeing Durandal's gentle smile, Seele's heart fluttered.
Bronya became nervous and hurried to Seels's side.
Well, it seems that Bianka's flirting skills are not active, but passive. Perhaps this is the result of the Kaslana lineage combined with the Schariac lineage?
Seeing this, Bronie felt speechless.
Well, let the kids do as they please, as long as they don't start fighting each other or killing each other.
Although Durandal is usually dull, she is honest and clear-headed about many things.
After all, even in the Schicksal headquarters, Durandal has many little fans, so she had to be prepared for the possibility of this situation when she let Bianka into her orphanage.
It just came a bit suddenly, and Bronie was a bit unable to accept that all of this was the result of herself because she left injuries on Durandal.
But fortunately, the gold goalkeeper Bronya was working hard to block Durandal's passive attacks!
Then, the usually timid Nina expressed her desire to become a Valkyrie the next day.
Goodness, besides coming here to fight, does Durandal also have a recruiting task?
Bronie immediately stated that she would not allow the children to have contact with Schicksal under any circumstances unless Otto no longer served as the Archbishop of Schicksal.
Because Otto is really capable of anything, maybe he will use the children to threaten her into working for him.
At that time, Durandal wanted to directly refute Bronie, but then Bronie slapped her face with a bunch of information.
The actual combat situation of the Second Honkai and the fact that the Immortal Phoenix was throughly used by Otto to explore the so-called Honkai God were all thrown out.
The losses caused by the Second Honkai shouldn't have been so great. It was all because Otto insisted on sending Sirin to the moon, which caused a disaster.
And Fu Hua lost her good disciple. But at that time, Fu Hua had already used the 1st power of Fenghuang Down, burning her brain and falling into a coma.
At that time, Durandal was full of disbelief, but with the documents from AE and Schicksal, all the confidential information was revealed.
From a logical point of view, it was indeed highly credible.
Coupled with Tesla and Einstein's accusations against Otto, the issues with the former First Herrschers, and Edison's affairs, Otto's once glamorous figure appeared to have changed somewhat in front of Durandal.
Later, Bronie said that Schicksal indeed made significant contributions to fighting the Honkai, and she also agreed with Schicksal's ideology of fighting for all the beauty in the world. It's just that Otto is not trustworthy.
In order to prevent more children from being fooled into joining Schicksal, Bronie endured for three days before throwing Durandal out.
There was no choice, Durandal always pestered her for combat advice, didn't she? Or always wanted to get some equipment from her, so that when put into Schicksal, it could be researched and mass-produced, and then used to fight the Honkai.
Bronie was also soft-hearted and couldn't help but give her a device specifically for battlefield treatment.
This thing was transformed from Mobius' design, with contributions from Vill-V.
It was actually nano-healing solvent, which could ensure that Valkyries could retain their lives on the battlefield even after suffering fatal injuries. Otto deserved to die a thousand times, but Schicksal's Valkyries were different.
After all, they were also frontline fighters, and it felt pitiful if they died.
So out of care for the Valkyries, Bronie came up with this technology and also said that they were working on solving the issue of the artificial stigmata's damage to Valkyrie's bodies.
Perhaps retired Valkyries wouldn't have to die directly at forty, and there might be hope for a normal lifespan.
Durandal was also aware that this was the best gift for Schicksal, if Otto was really as Bronie said, he had done so many terrible things.
When Otto was living in the orphanage with her, as the attending physician, he told her stories about Medea and also said that if he were discovered to be similar with Medea, please don't sympathize with him.
If this was true, then everything made sense.
However, Durandal kept this matter to herself and left the orphanage with Fu Hua.
Of course, on the way back to Schicksal, there was also a lively ELF named Book of Fuxi. She was like an old mother circling around Fu Hua, caring about this and that, and especially taking care of Fu Hua's diet.
Fu Hua's surroundings gradually became lively, and Durandal noticed that Fu Hua's smile had increased a bit.
Well, the Fu Hua she had seen before was always dull and cold, as if she had a very heavy mission weighing on her.
And after Fuxi became lively, Fu Hua appeared to relax a lot.
Teacher Haxxor is really a mysterious person to Durandal.
She was always very cheerful, and she also had a very clear goal in her heart. The games she produced were popular, and her combat power was extraordinary. It gave people a feeling of omnipotence.
Even the problem of the Bubble World on her body, she could accurately provide solutions, although it was quite troublesome to implement. It still had to rely on the power of the Herrscher of the Void, or directly find the Second Divine Key, Cosmic Juggernaut.
"Welcome back, my old friend, and Bianka."
Back at Schicksal headquarters, Mr. Otto immediately came to greet them, giving off a very dignified aura.
"Sorry, Bishop, I still lost. This time, whether it was normal combat or close combat, I lost. My Valkryie Battlesuit was hacked by Haxxor Bunny and lost its original functions."
"You even lost in close combat?"
Hearing Durandal's report, Otto was obviously a bit surprised. If the Valkryie Battlesuit was hacked, it meant that there wasn't much data left, so he could only rely on Durandal's report to judge what methods Haxxor Bunny used.
"I even lost in close combat."
"That's really... impressive." Otto didn't know what else to say. Perhaps there really are geniuses like this in the universe, and he was lucky enough to meet this genius.
"So, old friend, what do you think?"
"Regarding Haxxor Bunny's determination to fight against the Honkai, there is no doubt, and everyone in Elysian Realm trusts her very much, she is also a good person."
"Yes, a good person."
A good person. So after knowing his situation, how would she treat him?
Otto's mood became complicated. After repeatedly testing Haxxor Bunny, he had a deeper understanding of what kind of person she really was.
Otto couldn't stand it when things were not under his control. Because when variables appeared, his goals might encounter a lot of obstacles. Otto had a very clear awareness of himself, usually for the sake of achieving his goals, he would often choose a easier and more convenient shortcut.
As everyone knows, the most profitable methods are all written in the law, and for the sake of achieving his goals, Otto would often do heinous things which good people couldn't stand.
Moreover, there's The Elation meddling along the way...
Otto felt even more anxious, and then Durandal asked a question that made Otto's blood pressure rise even more.
"By the way, Overseer, when do you plan to retire, and who will be the next Archbishop?"
Goodness, Haxxor Bunny must have told Bianka something!
Could it be that in the future, Bianka will say even more outrageous things! Such as 'For the sake of all humanity, for the sake of fighting the Honkai, Overseer, please abdicate!'
