At that moment, Ragnar descended from the sky in armor.

"That Honkai Beast seems to be called Garuda?"

She asked.

"That's what Dr. Möbius said."

Himeko nodded.

"What a troublesome fellow."

"It is said that the one that Bishop Theresa is facing is even more troublesome than the one encountered in the previous civilization era, especially in terms of recovery ability."

Theresa gazed at the distant, fiery red bird silhouette and couldn't help but sigh.

"Even when no one else is here, the three major Honkai organizations are still tied up..."

Ragnar's expression betrayed his growing unease.

That's outrageous! Xiao Yan only needs a fraction of his power to hold his own against the armed forces on Earth.

It wasn't that I was surprised by the student's strength, but rather that the first thing he did after becoming so strong was to carry out a special plan left behind by a previous civilization.

Unfortunately, even Mebius was vague about this plan, as she was only in charge of a part of it.

Furthermore, this part is something that even the entire Mandate of Heaven cannot oppose.

— Ensure that the current Herrscher of Ice is intact and, if possible, allow her to ascend to immortality.

Anna has indeed passed away, but no one knows why.

Apart from those who know about the plan.

As Garuda soared higher and higher, the Valkyrie assault team simply gave up the pursuit.

At that moment, Rita, who had already returned, sent a message.

Theresa answered the call.

"Rita, you can report now."

Yes, Lady Theresa.

The Undying Blade Squad has discovered and trapped Miss Wilvi, a scientist from a pre-civilization era, at the ruins of Changkong City.

But now the number of Honkai Beasts here has suddenly increased, making it impossible for us to escape. Rita requests backup.

Upon hearing this news, Theresa immediately took it to heart.

"Okay, I'm coming right away. Don't let her get away!"

Thank you so much, Lady Theresa

Communication ended.

After putting away the communicator, Rita let out a long breath and looked towards the rooftop of a teaching building at Chiba Academy.

Vilvie stood alone, surrounded by strange mechanical entities, including floating cannons, energy shields, and self-propelled energy cannons...

But it just won't fire.

Because countless Honkai Beasts were fiercely protecting the teaching building from behind.

It was as if these Honkai Beasts were temporarily under her command.

Rita knew she couldn't command the Honkai Beasts because they were created by Bai Yan to carry out certain missions.

"Miss Wilvi, do you still intend to continue resisting?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be a prisoner yet. How about you make way for me so I can escape?"

“I’m sorry, I have just reported your presence here to the Bishop of Destiny. Rita cannot leave now in order to fulfill her duty.”

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Vervi's lips.

That's right, otherwise why would I have been arguing with you for so long?

Although she couldn't win over Velvi, Rita believed she could still stop her from escaping.

The stalemate lasted for a long time before the balance was finally broken with the arrival of Theresa and others.

"Vilvie, what brought you here?"

Theresa had just jumped off the aircraft and landed when she immediately asked a question.

"Of course it's to set up the stage. After all, I'm a magician, so setting up the stage in advance is perfectly normal, right?"

Her playful words and nonchalant expression meant that no one present took her words literally.

Theresa judged that she was being perfunctory; Rita, on the other hand, was pondering the meaning behind it.

Are these Honkai Beasts under your control?

Theresa asked again.

"Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of power,"

Velvi shook her head and spread her hands, saying with great regret, "If I had intervened, the entire planet would be awash in blood by now."

Everyone fell silent, unable to refute.

Imagine Sirin, with the mind of a scientist, appearing in Siberia in 2000.

Theresa stopped asking questions and said to the people around her, "Ignore the Honkai Beasts and capture her first."

Upon receiving the order, the two squads immediately took action.

Rita, Himeko, and Ragnar attacked Vervie from three directions simultaneously.

Velvi remained expressionless, simply manipulating the machines around her to launch a counterattack.

The Honkai Beasts below the building also started to move, but were quickly suppressed by the other Valkyries.

The battle was almost entirely one-sided.

The machinery surrounding Velvi was quickly destroyed, and her own strength was also unable to withstand the combined attack of the three.

She was then taken into custody.

Seeing this, Theresa said again, "Take him back for questioning! Let's leave first."

Rita and other top-tier Valkyries remained on the battlefield to deal with the Judgment-class Honkai Beasts that had already appeared.

Headquarters of Destiny.

Vilvi was tightly strapped to a chair made of a special material.

The interrogation was conducted by Theresa, Tesla, Einstein, and Möbius.

Since discovering that whenever her remaining high-end combat forces were deployed, there would inevitably be Judgment-level enemies coming to harass her, Theresa simply suspended her personal command of the expedition.

She sat in the center chair, her legs off the ground, arms crossed, looking down at Vervi with an air of authority.

"Dr. Mebius has already told me everything about the part of the project she was in charge of. Now it's your turn, Velvi."

Vervi glanced at Mebius, who was looking at her with a suspicious expression.

With a quick glance around her eyes, Velvi spoke up.

"As you know, my dear viewer, I was mainly responsible for the creation of the Divine Keys in the previous civilization, so in this project, I am only responsible for the content of the Divine Keys."

Upon hearing this, Theresa felt a headache coming on.

What is the Pinduoduo plan?

Scientists from your previous civilization, how come you do things like intelligence work? Whenever you encounter a crucial issue, you deliberately break down the clues, and even create this kind of single-line communication operation.

Dr. Mei has kept it hidden for too long...

Boom!

Tesla slammed his fist on the table.

"I've had enough! What exactly is your plan?! Why are you making such a fuss?! Fifty thousand years have passed! Haven't you deciphered it in fifty thousand years?!"

Her curiosity is like that of someone who's been scratched by a cat fifty thousand times.

However, Vilvi could only shrug, indicating that she knew nothing and could say nothing.

Einstein pondered for a moment, then began his analysis.

"Given the current situation, let's list out the clues using the Ottoman method."

"The Key of God, the Herrscher of Ice, the Missing Continent of Mu, the Plan to Cross the End, the Stigmata Project..."

Tesla gradually calmed down upon hearing this and carefully considered the things she had listed.

...I can't figure it out.

"I think the key lies with Bai Yan,"

Einstein looked at Möbius and said, "Here's a problem. At some point, you stopped searching for the pioneer named Fu Yan. In other words, Bai Yan's existence can just replace her role, right?"

Mebius's expression became subtle.

"That's right. In terms of both strength and ability, he can replace or even surpass that person."

"What do you mean by 'ability'?"

"It all started when Aponia told the three of us—me, Velvet, and May—about a scene she had seen in the mind's eye."

Mebius frowned and said, "Fu Yan fought a final battle against the Eighth Herrscher at the time. The two fought their final battle in the form of spiritual manifestations, and the result was a draw. Aponia took this opportunity to eliminate the Eighth Herrscher."

"Concretization of the spirit?"

"Einstein asked."

"It is said that the Eighth Herrscher created a cocoon and released countless Honkai Beasts and Herrschers from it to attack Fu Yan;"

"Those Herrschers possessed diverse abilities, some even entirely different from those of the real world, attacking the invisible barrier created by Fu Yan through endless combinations."

"This type of attack is almost exhaustive, and any defense mechanism will eventually be countered."

However, Fu Yan quickly simulated countless completely different parallel worlds, using infinite parallels against infinite parallels;

"Different development paths in the world can, in turn, counteract the opponent's attack methods."

"The two sides were deadlocked for a long time, and neither side could do anything about it."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was immediately horrified.

Tesla, in particular, understands things at the same speed as its facial expressions change.

"The imagination that existed in the mental space has now been brought into reality by Bai Yan?!"

"It seems so at the moment,"

Möbius's lips twitched. "Perhaps, this legacy just happened to fall into the hands of that kid."

"No, wasn't it the Eighth Herrscher who created the Honkai Beasts and Herrschers in the mental space?"

Theresa asked, puzzled.

"It is obvious that Bai Yan has developed this ability to the point of being able to combine offense and defense."

Einstein said.

She then asked another question: "So, what does this ability mean?"

Mebius: "Mebius believes that this ability also hides a special function: connecting other worlds."

Tesla and Einstein both frowned.

They had never seen this before and could not understand what the ability and connection had to do with it.

But since it's Dr. Mei who said it, let's believe it for now.

"Is the 'Connecting Worlds' a way to save the civilization of your era?"

Tesla suddenly realized, and then asked again.

"Yes."

Mebius nodded.

Vilvi nodded in agreement.
