"Fire!"
The cold, childish words uttered from her lips.
A ferocious yet majestic figure, stained blue and radiating a metallic sheen, hovered in the air.
The moment it received the command, its eyes blazed red!
It raised its iron claws and, with immense force, slammed the roaring Chariot Honkai Beast into the ground.
Then, the densely populated floaters behind it shot out simultaneously, as the shadowy image of gears flashed before Bronya's eyes.
The floater beams enveloped the roaring Honkai Beasts in all their forms, destroying them all amidst their roars.
But this was not the end.
Bronya trembled slightly, the symbol of the Herrscher, its snow-white pleats swaying slightly.
She stared expressionlessly ahead.
There, one after another, larger and more powerful Honkai Beasts emerged.
Ganesha, Ashwagandhi, Parvati, Vishnu, Rajel, Remiel, Soma...
Scanning each of these massive figures, Bronya's mind conjured images of corresponding information.
These behemoths were all Emperor-class Honkai Beasts that had once appeared and wreaked havoc on the land, ultimately slain and collected by Schicksal.
And at this moment, they all appeared on this battlefield.
Bronya's gaze shifted, landing on a figure not far away.
Though her expression remained impassive, she still felt a touch of helplessness. "Idiot Kiana, are you crazy?"
This was Saint Freya's virtual training ground, the [Memorial Arena].
Because the outside world wasn't suitable for them to practice and unleash their powers, and there were few suitable opponents, Theresa had thrown them into this Memorial Arena for training.
Bronya wasn't afraid of the massive Honkai Beast wave; after all, she had already slain one wave.
But...
These before her were all Emperor-level Honkai Beasts!
If you asked her to kill something weak, even a Honkai Emperor, Bronya wouldn't blink an eye.
But Emperor-class Honkai Beasts—
You have to know that within the Honkai Beast grading system, the simplest tiers are just two: Upper-level Honkai Beasts and Lower-level Honkai Beasts.
The Lower-level, with the Honkai Emperor as the highest-evolved Honkai Beast, is the upper limit.
The Upper-level, of course, refers to the Emperor and Judgment-level classes.
Once a Honkai Beast surpasses this level, the difference between them is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth!
Kiana looked at the ferocious Emperor-level Honkai Beasts recorded in the Schicksal Database without a trace of fear.
At this moment, she was Void Drifter, with no way back and no way forward.
Thus, she was fearless as she moved forward into the future.
Let alone a swarm of Emperor-class Honkai Beasts ahead, even a swarm of Judgment-class Beasts would be something she could attack without fear.
As for Bronya's words, she simply raised her hand slightly, glanced sideways, and said with a hint of provocation.
"What? Are you scared?"
"Our power isn't complete," Bronya said helplessly.
She hadn't yet reached the stage of inheriting the true power of the Herrscher of Reason. Her current form was merely maintained by the headdress she obtained from the Q&A space.
Kiana was in much the same boat.
In their current state, killing one Honkai Beast was fine.
But killing a whole group of Emperor-class Honkai Beasts... did they really think the Emperor-class Honkai Beasts were made of clay?!
"How can we know if we don't try? Nothing's going to go wrong here, and I still have plenty of Honkai energy!"
Kiana ignored Bronya's words, glaring at the Emperor-class Honkai Beasts with a look of eagerness.
Bronya's face darkened at this, and she felt like cursing.
You have plenty of Honkai energy, but I'm almost done, okay?
A complete Herrscher Core connects to the Imaginary Space, making the possibility of running out of Honkai energy virtually impossible.
But she's only relying on the headdress to transform into a Herrscher. The Honkai energy consumed by using Herrscher power is entirely her responsibility.
If it weren't for the incredible skill, Edge of Taixuan, that she obtained from the Class Monitor, which harnesses the surrounding Honkai energy, with Bronya's small frame, even a Herrscher transformation and a few shots would likely drain all her Honkai energy.
And Kiana... although she also relied on accessories to achieve a semi-Herrscher transformation like Valkyrie Ranger, her half-baked skills were useless.
The Herrscher's consumption of Honkai energy is incomparable to that of the Herrscher of Reason, who creates something from nothing.
Furthermore, Kiana actually possessed a latent Herrscher Core within her body.
To prevent the Herrscher of the Void from awakening, she couldn't use that core to harness its power.
But somehow, Kiana had cunningly learned to steal Honkai energy from the Herrscher Core and use it to power her hair accessories.
This maneuver not only squeezed the Herrscher of the Void and delayed its awakening, but also prevented her from becoming the awkward Herrscher of the Void, like Bronya, whose Honkai energy was 50-50.
Bronya remained expressionless upon learning this, but she was deeply envious.
She also wanted a power bank like this.
If she had one, even without inheriting the Herrscher of Reason's Core, Bronya could still become a less powerful Herrscher of Reason.
This battle with its vastly disparate numbers quickly ended.
Bronya had no choice but to follow. She was completely drained, collapsing to the side with a helpless expression, "I'm a worthless fish, don't bother with me!"
And Kiana... despite her unlimited Honkai energy, without Bronya's powerful support, relying solely on her limited attack power... seemed barely capable of breaking through defenses. With only the subspace lance, Kiana's damage was like scraping against the tough-skinned Honkai Beasts.
In this situation, the Emperor-class Honkai Beasts naturally achieved victory at the cost of a Ganesha.
--Today's hardworking pig was still taking the beating.
Kiana and Bronya noticed something was amiss and dragged Theresa out with a scowl.
Because she had nothing else to do, she had been reading a Homu manga nearby and hadn't paid attention to the battlefield.
Then, by chance, she was overwhelmed by the sight of so many Emperor-class Honkai Beasts.
With her hands on her hips, the Homunculus manga slung behind her back, she angrily declared:
"I gave you permission to adjust the enemy, and this is how you do it? Are you kidding!?
"A bunch of Emperor-level Honkai Beasts, you really know how to choose!"
At this moment, Theresa finally looked like a parent with a mischievous child.
Bronya's expression was impassive, her gaze flicking towards Kiana.
...This matter had nothing to do with her.
If that foolish Kiana hadn't foolishly charged forward, she would have even considered escaping.
After being repeatedly disciplined by the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts, Kiana now realized she had been a bit reckless. Listening to Theresa's scolding, she lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake, remaining silent.
Bronya remained impassive.
Kiana simply lowered her head.
Theresa kept talking, but when she received no response, she seemed to feel a bit bored and gave up the idea of lecturing.
She coughed twice, bringing new news.
"Ahem, regarding The Deep, Anti-Entropy is almost ready."
