You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

When Rita gets caught up in the Honkai event, she will most likely choose to become a Valkyrie rather than move to another city and continue being an ordinary human with no power to fight.

In fact, women of marriageable age who have experienced a Honkai event usually choose to become Valkyries in order to gain the power to at least protect themselves.

Rita looked somewhat dazed, and before she could ask any more questions, Bella, as if she had foreseen it, answered her doubts in advance.

“Miss Rita, there aren’t many people like me. Most people can only barely defeat and kill Honkai Beasts when facing them. Very few people can easily kill lower-rank Honkai Beasts.”

Whether in terms of ability or physical structure, Bella was not lying.

There are not many Herrschers to begin with, and even fewer Honkai Beasts that can take human form. Apart from Bella, perhaps only Janna remains.

Rita bit her lip and nodded, replying, "I understand. Thank you for your explanation, Miss Bella."

"It doesn't matter. Even if I don't tell you now, you'll find out sooner or later."

Bella put the rose petals into her "personal space" and then folded her hands over her lower abdomen, maintaining an elegant maid's demeanor.

If you ignored the purple blood splattered on the ground and the fragments of the tank-class Honkai Beast's head, Rita might really think that Bella was just an ordinary but elegant maid.

“Miss Bella, is there any safe place left in this city… Manchester?”

"of course."

Bella's firm answer eased some of Rita's anxiety.

There must be a Valkyrie squad stationed in Manchester. Although they cannot quickly resolve this Honkai incident, they are more than capable of protecting the designated areas.

As for the task of eliminating the Honkai Beasts, that can be left to Qiu Bi and the others.

When it comes to the speed of eliminating Honkai Beasts, perhaps only S-rank Valkyries and Fusion Warriors can compare with Herrschers.

"Let's go."

Where are we going?

"I'll take you to a safe place first."

sound off.

Bella flicked her finger and unleashed a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing the head of a passing Temple-class Honkai Beast.

—This Temple-class Honkai Beast is already over ten meters tall.

Bella walked slowly, and as she passed the corpse of the Temple-class Honkai Beast, she made sure to put it into her "personal space".

Rita followed Bella closely, her movements similar to Bella's, both placing their hands together at their lower abdomen.

Watching Bella collect the remains of the Temple-class Honkai Beast, Rita was puzzled, but wisely refrained from asking about it and instead inquired about other matters.

"Miss Bella, these monsters... the Honkai Beasts all seem to be different sizes?"

As Rita asked the question, she couldn't help but gaze into the distance.

At the edge of the horizon, a Temple-class Honkai Beast roamed between the buildings, its size exceeding thirty meters!

Chapter 299 Bella: "I am also a Herrscher."

Bella followed Rita's gaze and also saw the Temple-class Honkai Beast, which was over thirty meters tall.

"Over thirty meters tall..."

Bella murmured something, then snapped her fingers. Thick dark clouds gathered above the Temple-level Honkai Beast, as if a world-destroying thunderbolt could descend at any moment.

However, before the thunder could strike, blazing flames suddenly rose up, as if transforming into a "gluttonous beast" that devoured everything in the world, swallowing the temple-level Honkai beast whole.

Seeing this, Bella calmly dispelled the dark cloud.

— Qiu Bi, Eden, and Amber are currently in that area.

"Generally speaking, the strength of a Honkai Beast is linked to its size; the larger the Honkai Beast, the stronger it is."

"However, there are always exceptions. Smaller Honkai Beasts are not necessarily weak, but larger Honkai Beasts are definitely strong."

"If measured by conventional weapons, Honkai Beasts ten meters or shorter require anti-aircraft missiles and medium-caliber machine guns to destroy, while those taller than ten meters require 270mm or 430mm railguns. As for Honkai Beasts over one hundred meters tall..."

“Honkai Beasts of this size usually require the deployment of A-rank Valkyries to attack them. Not only are they rare, but their strength is also equivalent to the ‘Emperor-class Honkai Beast’ among the high-rank Honkai Beasts.”

Bella patiently explained.

Rita was a little confused and couldn't understand professional terms such as "high-ranking Honkai Beast" and "Emperor-class Honkai Beast," but she roughly understood what Bella meant.

Then, she imagined a Honkai Beast that was over 100 meters tall in her mind and compared it with the tiny body of the A-rank Valkyrie, and immediately gained a general understanding of the strength of the A-rank Valkyrie.

"Valkyrie...is she really that powerful?"

“Strong? That’s just your perception of strength. In reality… the Valkyrie is very weak.”

Bella shook her head, leading Rita to the spot where the Temple-class Honkai Beast had died, and continued to explain, "Even an S-class Valkyrie can perish if she is not careful when facing a Herrscher."

If Qiu Bi had not appeared, every victory humanity achieved in the Honkai Wars would have inevitably led to the death of one Valkyrie after another.

After each Honkai War, the number of Valkyries inevitably shrinks by 70-80%, with most dying at the hands of Honkai Beasts that appeared during the Honkai War, and a small number dying after facing the Herrschers.

—This is the conclusion Otto deduced based on the records of previous civilizations.

If all the "Herrschers" of this generation are normal, and if Qiu Bi doesn't appear, then the final development trend will definitely be like this.

Looking at the Herrschers who have already arrived, they are either fighting for humanity or becoming enemies of humanity for some inexplicable reason.

Strictly speaking, Wendy was the only Herrscher who barely met the standard from beginning to end.

Even so, Wendy attacked Destiny Airport with the intention of having fun, and was eventually planted with "commandments" by Sirin, successfully becoming a "new mother".

Bella didn't tell Rita about these things.

This is not something Rita can handle for the time being, since Rita isn't even a "Commoner Valkyrie" yet.

"Miss Bella, do all the Valkyries possess incredible abilities?"

"The Valkyrie's physical abilities are indeed beyond human imagination, and she can also use Honkai energy. As for abilities like lightning and flames..."

"Valkyries possessing this type of ability often have 'Stigmata,' rather than mass-produced 'artificial Stigmata.'"

Bella walked gracefully forward, ignoring the collapsed walls around her, only offering a helping hand when someone was in danger.

Once the other party is out of danger, Bella will take Rita on her way, and the whole process will take no more than a minute.

Rita bit her lip, hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to ask Bella something.

Bella keenly sensed this and took the initiative to ask, "Miss Rita, is there anything else you don't understand?"

"Miss Bella, regarding the monster we killed earlier... was the flame of the Honkai Beast a Valkyrie, or... a Herrscher?"

After asking about it, Rita clutched her clothes tightly, her expression becoming tense and uneasy.

If that is a Herald, how can humanity defeat it?

Upon hearing this, Bella glanced at Rita sideways, then calmly replied, "That is the Herrscher power of the Herrscher of Flame, and also my lover."

"So it really is a Herrscher... Wait—my lover?!"

Rita's unease surged instantly, causing her to stop in her tracks.

If she heard correctly, Bella seemed to be saying that the Herrscher was her lover.

"Yes, the person who killed that Temple-class Honkai Beast was my lover, and also..."

Bella stopped, turned to look at Rita, and calmly added, "I am also a Herrscher."

"..."

The unsettling suspicions were confirmed, pushing Rita into an even deeper abyss.

Rita stood silently in place, racking her brains for a solution, trying to find a way out of the impasse.

Unfortunately, faced with Bella's overwhelming power, she had no choice but to flee.

Moreover, even if she were to leave Bella, she would still die at the hands of the Honkai Beasts.

Bella seemed to see through Rita's thoughts and ideas, and suddenly showed a kind smile.

"Miss Rita, do you remember what I just said?"

Upon hearing this, Rita was stunned.

What I just mentioned?

What do you mean by that?

Rita carefully recalled the many things Bella had said earlier, and soon remembered the corresponding words.

"Miss Bella, is it the statement, 'The Herrschers who have descended so far are all quite special and cannot be judged by past knowledge'?"

"Yes, Miss Rita. All the Herrschers who have descended so far have ultimately sided with humanity, and so have my lover and I."

"..."

Rita parted her lips slightly, but no sound came out.

So far, all she knows is Bella's word, and it's difficult to determine whether Bella has concealed or altered anything.

However, Rita had no choice but to believe Bella's words and that the Herrschers were on the side of humanity.

Immediately, new doubts arose.

"Miss Bella, why...why did you come all this way to save me?"

"Because we have common interests, I just happened to help you out."

Throughout Bella's life, she had very few people with whom she shared common interests, and even fewer who were her "maids."

Now that Bella has met Rita, who shares common interests and is also a "maid," how could she possibly stand by and watch Rita die a violent death?

True.

Rita is not a "maid" at all, but her considerable skill in "maid arts" leads Bella to regard her as a "maid".

Chapter 300 The Global Situation Takes a Dramatic Turn

Bella's reply surprised Rita, who immediately looked astonished.

I initially thought that Bella or Bella's lover had taken a liking to me, or perhaps for some other reason, but it turned out to be just this simple reason...

Rita opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she found herself at a loss for words.
