Location of action: Zone Z, a high-risk area not under the jurisdiction of Changkong City

"A high concentration of Honkai threshold has been detected, so be careful."

"That'...... What is that? ”

With a burst of exclamations from everyone in the team, huge waves rose on the sea, accompanied by huge silver siliconized tentacles that appeared from the waves, enveloping the Hella floating on the sea. The one who encountered this incident on the deck was Bronia's group who came to investigate.

"Be careful!"

Several huge tentacles attacked everyone on the deck, and Bronya directly summoned the dimensional armor - Heavy Rabbit when she saw this, and used the defense mode to deploy the AT force field to defend. Although this won't last long, it can be resisted for a while.

"Senior Adam, can you think of a way?"

Carol said anxiously.

"I'm ready to recharge."

Adam held the crimson greatsword in his hand, and the blade of the sword burst into flames, ready to strike back the moment Bronya's barrier ended.

When Lin Qi and Ritter were also preparing to fight back, they suddenly noticed a huge round nodule like a silver bud held up by tentacles floating on the sea, and Ritter motioned for everyone to look over there. The round tumor gradually unfolded, and a woman with short and medium dark blue hair had several siliconized tentacles attached to her back, which were closely connected to the silver buds, and the location of the woman on the sea was not far from them.

"Prepare to fight back!"

With a command, Bronya removed the protective barrier, and in an instant, the tentacles were bounced away by the powerful energy that burst out of the force field, and even more turbulent waves appeared on the sea, hitting the force field of the Hela.

Gradually unable to see the figure of the woman on the sea, Bronya controlled the heavy bunny to punch out, opening an air vortex, and Adam's blade of flame was blasted out with Ritter's laser cannon.

"Boom."

The joint attack hit the woman's position not far above the waves, and exploded on the surface of the sea, and the water splashed into mist under such a hot attack, floating around the explosion.

"Here, all the team, line up!"

Realizing that the woman was coming towards them, Bronya reacted instantly, unfurling a new protective stance against the figure flying through the fog.

"This level ......"

The woman laughed contemptuously, and after staring at Bronya's frightened expression for a moment, she quickly sprang back into the sea, and her tentacles rose from the surface of the sea again.

"It's so difficult, what the hell is that?" Lin Qi held the spear in his hand and said with a little fear.

Bronya responded, "Looks like Anania, she's a mimetic. ”

The woman's real identity is a member of the New Arcadia Polaris Alliance, named 'Sea Tide' Portupini Oslange, who was ordered by Agnes to create chaos here in advance, waiting for the Destiny to take the bait and ambush them. The battle took place at sea, and Pottu was confident that she would complete the mission given to her by Agnes, and that all the Destiny would be buried at the bottom of the sea.

"Captain!"

Noticing that the tentacle's attack was aimed at Bronya, Ritter fired a backhand shot that knocked down the tentacle that was still moving.

"Don't take it lightly, it's here again!"

Just as the team members and Potu were fighting, there was a sudden roar in the sky, and a small airship swept over the crowd, and many Valkyries descended from the sky. It was the members of the Valkyrie's eighth unit "Leng Feng" who rushed here to support, and after the captain Timiduo arrived at the scene, he commanded the Valkyries to attack the giant tentacles, and he rushed to Bronya's side.

"Captain Bronya! You're alright! ”

Timido's movements were fast, her feet were wearing skate-like moving tools, paddling on the ground like shooting stars.

"I'm fine, be careful, something isn't quite right with the enemy this time."

Bronya was slightly injured, left by the woman when she attacked her, and Porto looked much more powerful than Anania. Although they are all Polaris mimics, there is also a big difference in strength between them.

"Guys, prepare the artillery array! Attack the Giant Tentacles! ”

Timido ordered the team to fire at maximum power, but the giant tentacles were too hard for conventional anti-Honkai weapons to do anything, and the silver siliconized skin could only ricochelate the bullets.

"If Rin is there......"

Faced with this situation, Lin Qi seems to be reminded of Rin, who was forcibly restricted from fighting because of Bronya's orders, and if Rin was there, he would be able to easily kill all the tentacles with the flying blade of Hypernetus. But Bronya didn't regret it, and after Timido helped her treat the wound on her arm, she started the attack mode of the heavy rabbit and set it up on the deck to form a siege tank.

"Captain, you're going to ......"

"That's all I have to do."

By the time Timido ordered the evacuation of the Valkyries, the siege cannon had already fired at the tentacle group, and the powerful blasting energy exploded between the tentacles, causing the tentacles to break and fall into the deep sea.

Gradually, the sea seemed to be cut off by a part of her body, and jumped straight out of the sea, accompanied by a huge wave, and everyone was able to see her in full view.

Half of her body, connected with silver flower bones, grew in the body of a giant giant octopus Honkaimon, wielding severed limbs, struggling on the surface of the sea, and waves after waves caused the Hela to begin to shake, and the external protective stance also showed signs of instability. A terrible sound mixed with mechanical sounds, but indistinct, emanated from the mouth of the giant octopus, was so loud that her roar could be heard for ten miles.

"How dare you...... How dare you! Hurt me! ”

The Seeker was so large that the crowd on the Hela looked like a hill from a distance.

"That guy...... What kind of monster is it? ”

Carol looked at the giant octopus costume Honkai in front of her and froze.

When Bronya lifted the siege cannon mode and entered the cooldown, the giant Honkai beast moved, and it lifted the largest tentacle that had not yet been broken, and the front part of the tentacle condensed with a blue ghostly light, as if it was about to attack.

"The protective force field of the Hella is going to be unable to hold up, this kind of attack will break through the force field at once, Timido, I'll leave it to you."

After receiving Bronya's order, Timido jumped into the sea and glided on the surface of the sea, heading towards the giant octopus. Her movements were very brisk, like a ballet dancer in the water, she jumped on top of the giant tentacles, kicked out, and shaved off the tips of the giant tentacles, and the laser cannon that had just been fired also hit herself because of the fracture of the firing part.

"Ahhh

With a roar from Botu's pinch, the entire octopus monster fell into the sea.

"Good...... It's amazing, Senior Sister Timiduo is really amazing. Lin Qi exclaimed.

Bronya also knew that Timiduo's strength had grown greatly during this time, and she smiled with satisfaction when she saw her such a dazzling performance.

When Timido returned, he was about to praise her, but the threshold of the Honkai Energy Detector that Bronya was carrying only increased.

Soon, the giant octopus leaped out of the sea again, this time no longer a few hundred meters away from Hela, but approached Hela, surrounded it with its newfound tentacles, and grabbed it with its tentacles.

"How dare you hurt me...... Unforgivable! ”

Botu pinched a painful expression, his originally cold face was bruised, and he looked angry, leaning over the upper body of the humanoid and confronting everyone.

"Who are you? Why attack us on this sea? Bronya asked her very calmly.

Instead of answering her, Pottu pinched a portion of the new tentacles of her massive body around the crowd and struck at the Hela, making a hysterical sound at the same time.

"Die, die, die!!"

The Hela's splint was slammed by a giant tentacle, and the hull shook violently, causing the people on board to stagger, grabbing the nearest fixture to prevent it from falling into the sea. The mimetic lawyer's attacks hadn't stopped, and her main target was Bronia, who had injured herself not long ago, and she grabbed one end of the Hela with her giant tentacles, trying to flip the ship over and make them fall into the sea.

Headquarters for the New Acadia Building in North America

Just as Potu attacked Bronya and the others, Ace found Agnes, who was walking down the hallway.

"Agnes."

"What's the matter?"

"I've heard that you've done something inhumane to the 'tide'."

Ace said it bluntly.

"What inhumane thing? I'm just trying to bring out the best in her. ”

Agnes tried to play dumb and foolish. Ace's expression seemed to be cold to a terrifying level, and he asked rhetorically, "Do you want to take advantage of her abilities even though you know about them?" ”

"Razor, you won't understand, in order to kill the people of Destiny, I have tried my best to find a way for you."

"Is it your way to torture 'Sea Tide' and 'Commander'?"

As soon as Ace said this, Agnes' dagger was already in her neck, pressed against her throat.

"If you want to make money, you have to listen to me, and you have to shut up before I achieve my goal."

Ace didn't answer, she knew that Agnes was a sinister and cunning man, and after the disappearance of the founders of the New Arcadia headquarters, he took sole control and made waves in the New Arcadia technology.

It turns out that the "Ocean Tide" wave pinch's quasi-lawmaker ability can only be triggered if you take physical damage. In order to turn her into a monster, Agnes locked her in a place and continued to torture her with pain, causing her to gradually collapse physically and mentally, and then sent someone to pinch and throw the unconscious Botu in the deep sea in Zone Z, a dangerous zone near Sky City.

In this way, Pottu Pinch has lost her mind, and out of her instinct to protect herself, she has to destroy all living creatures that come near her. Ace knew what he was doing to Anania and Porto, and as the second-in-command under Agnes, he couldn't let him threaten himself like this.

Ace fought back, striking Agnes in the face with a swift elbow, only to be dodged by Agnes, and then she raised her leg and swept around, only to find that Agnes had stopped.

"I recognize your strength and brains, Miss Berena." Agnes said as he slowly wiped the dagger.

"As the Valkyrie of the Destiny of the Former Heaven, you must also want to ask them for an explanation, but I have a lot of trust in you, after all, you don't have to worry about me."

"I'm not your pawn." Ace said in an attacking stance.

Seeing this, Agnes only smiled sinisterly and walked away.

Although both sides also know what they want from each other, Ace will not just let Agnes manipulate himself, after all, the New Arcadia Company, in addition to his final say, also has a lot of say.

However, the rest of the Polaris Alliance probably didn't have her status, and after receiving the transformation of the Imitation Law, almost all of them became Agnes's tool men.

In addition to the "Hidden Dragon" Zhou Huan being killed by Aiden, that is, Dr. Edward, the defeat of "Commander" Anania and "Mechanic" Brownie against the Mandate of Heaven made their status in Agnes's heart drop a little.

Anania was also driven mad by Agnes' unique torture, by which time she had lost her full skin, and her body was so tightly connected by Bronya's siege cannon that she looked like a mummy crawling out of a grave.

She locked herself in her room all day, holding a figure in the shape of Bronya in her hand, torturing it with iron nails and wooden hammers.

"Bronya, Bronya, Bronya!! Damn you!! ”

Today, she is also going crazy and using this method to relieve her pain.

The location of the action is Z, a high-risk area not under the jurisdiction of Changkong City

"Captain!"

On the other side, Bronya was grabbed high by a giant tentacle pinched by Portu and hung in the air, and the giant octopus Honkaimon exposed its huge bottom sucker-like mouth, ready to swallow her into its stomach.

Seeing this, Adam jumped high from the ground, raised the blazing crimson greatsword, and slashed the tentacles with one sword, saving Bronya.

But this also caused Botu to pinch and target him, and before he could carry Bronya to the ground, he was dodged by a giant tentacle and fell to the bottom of the sea.

"Adam !!"

Seeing this, Carol rescued Bronya and attacked the giant octopus with a giant iron fist, but Pottu's reaction was faster, and her huge size did not affect her advantage in the sea.

"Let's all die!"

Before Carol's iron fist could get close to Portu's pinch, Porto's pinching grabbed her with a tentacle and lifted her up like a chicken.

Bronya was pinched by Botu as the main target, and not long ago launched a fierce attack on her with tentacles, whipping her again and again, and finally, Bronya's protective force field that could not be resisted was shattered, and she fell to the ground with no physical strength.

After Timido had placed Bronya, she ordered all the Valkyrie forces to surprise and prepare to save Carol.

It seems that the only way to get long-range artillery support from the headquarters is to do so, Timido thought to herself, but if they do this, they will probably not be able to protect themselves.

Although she was ready to sacrifice, she still remembered the sentence that Bronya had taught her, "The safety of your companions is higher than the mission", so she also gave up this plan.

The giant monster in front of him was no less dangerous than an emperor-level Honkai Beast, and even more dangerous than an Emperor-level Honkai Beast. Especially in the sea, this guy can regenerate indefinitely, and maintain a high mobility type of combat, making it an almost impossible opponent to defeat.

"Squad members, follow me!"

With a command, the group switched from ranged weapons to melee weapons, ready to leap into the sea and fight the giant octopus on its body.

"Anyone who wants to hurt me has to die!!"

Botu pinch roared, curling the Hela high into the air, and the Valkyrie team jumped on top of it, running in the direction of its human part, which was Potu pinch, trying to kill its body directly.

But at this time, Botu's body began to shake violently, trying to get the Valkyries down, and many of the team members fell into the sea, and their lives were uncertain. Timido's movements were fast, and she was the first to come to Botu's pinch, kicking out, but Botu's outstretched right hand blocked the attack.

The siliconized tissue covered her entire body except for her face, which was difficult to fight with conventional weapons, and Timido, seeing that Botu was distracted, let go of Carol's gap, and kicked again, but still failed to penetrate the enemy's armor.

"Maggots!"

Portu let out a roar of rage, and many steely spikes stretched out from the connected buds of her massive body, and struck at Timiduo.

Timido dodged nimble, and with a backward kick, the spikes mounted on his feet severed all the spikes.

On top of Portu's huge body, Timido and her body engaged in a fierce confrontation, while Ritter and Lin Qi looked after the unconscious Bronya, and could only watch the scene in front of them.

"Why didn't the captain let Rin come along? Ritter Senior. Lin Qi asked.

Ritter thought for a moment and replied, "Rin has experienced that kind of thing, it's impossible to devote himself to this kind of battle, this kind of monster, even if Rin can come, what can he do?" ”

While the two were still discussing, there was a cold whistling sound in the sky, and the three cruisers of the Mandate of Heaven were coming side by side. It turned out to be Timiduo's request for support, so that Destiny sent Glondelle and their Valkyries to rush over, and with a golden glow, they stood in the sea, and a huge spear hit the giant beast, causing it to let out a terrifying roar.

"Is Bronya alright?"

Dressed in a Valkyrie suit in silver knight's armor and holding her proud soul steel spear, the Black Abyss White Flower, she landed on the deck of the Hela.

After seeing Bronya's injury, he ordered Lin Qi and Ritter to take care of her, and then launched the raid mode of the black abyss and white flowers, spreading the golden archangel wings on his back, facing this sea beast. When Pottu saw Urlandelle, he began to become frightened from the crazy expression on his face before, and shook off Timido, and his huge body gradually sank, trying to escape.

But Glolander's spear was faster, and the golden rain of spears fell from the sky and stuck above the sea, so that Botu could not escape, and the body of the giant beast writhed and struggled, and the golden light spear was fixed on the sea, like a nail nailed to the wall, and it was difficult to escape.

"Why! Why! I just don't want to get hurt! Don't kill me!! ”

With a golden flash of light shooting from the tip of the spear of the black abyss and white flower, the giant beast was directly pierced by such an attack, and the octopus's body broke through an obvious large hole. She fell into the sea and didn't struggle for a moment.

The incident ended briefly, with the support of Captain Urlandelle, the impersonator "Sea Tide" Botu pinched was annihilated, Bronya and Carol were seriously injured, and Adam fell into the sea, his life and death uncertain.

The first medical hospital in the city of Destiny Maitreya

Mei Yi, who was still on a secret mission in another place, heard the news, and after the mission was over, she hurried back to Destiny with Shizuru and the two to take care of Bronya and Carol, who were in charge of Dr. Edward.

Dr. Edward had just given Bronya a simple treatment when Bronya was in a coma with a bandage around her head. According to the doctor's diagnosis, it was only because Bronya used too much mental power that she was exhausted at this time, and it would be fine to rest for a few days.

But Carol's condition is somewhat serious, because she has been entangled in the tentacles for too long, she has broken the bones of her arm in multiple places, and several ribs have been broken, and she is still waiting for the injury to be treated in the operating room. When Shizuru accompanied Mei and the others to check on the status of the team members, the anxious look on Mei Yi's face did not change in the slightest.

She asked Dr. Edward about Carol's condition, and then anxiously waited outside the room for the results in the operating room.

"Doctor, how is she doing?"

"It's not good, there are multiple fractures in her body, but I'll do my best to save her."

"I'm sorry, Carol, Adam...... If only I could join you......"

"Alas, this can't be helped, Captain Meiyi, since this is the personnel arrangement of the headquarters...... That's it, don't be too sad. ”

After comforting Mei Yi, Dr. Edward went into the operating room for surgery, and Mei Yi could only come to Bronya's hospital room and talk to Bronya when she woke up. Bronya showed a frustrated and sad expression, and said to Mei Yi:

"I'm sorry, Mei Yi, I couldn't take care of the two of them."

"Don't say that, Bronya, I've heard everything, that enemy is indeed a bit tricky, and you did your best."

"No, it's because my strength is not enough, if only I could use the power of the Law of Reason as before......"

Bronya began to blame herself, for her, it was actually her own responsibility to incompetence to injure Mei's teammates, and there was even Adam who had followed her for a while.

"That's all in the past, Bronya is working hard now, and I'm glad to see you on your own...... But how the hell did Adam ......"

Speaking of Adam who fell into the sea, you can see that the word "anxious" is completely written on Meiyi's face, after all, Adam and Carol have been with him for the longest time, and they are also the team members he trusts very much. Chela and Shizuru didn't encounter this kind of thing because they followed them on a mission, so they didn't encounter this kind of thing in the past.

"Bronya, I'd like to make a request for a rescue from above, can you lend me Rin here for a while?"

"Rin's kid has been experiencing a lot of things lately, and I'm afraid that his emotions will affect the mission, so I didn't let him go on the mission with us."

"That's ......"

Later, Mei Yi learns the news that Rin's mother is critically ill from Bronya, and she seems to understand Bronya's approach. Rin also learned of Bronia's serious injury at this time, and rushed here with Lin Qi and Ritter to visit her.

"Captain! How are you? Rin asked anxiously.

Bronya waved her hand to show that she was fine, and then asked him to come to her bedside, put her face up, and talked to him in a whisper.

"Mei Yi wants you to go with her to search for the missing Adam, can you go, or ......"

"I'll go." Rin replied with a resolute gaze.

After confirming that Rin was not mentally affected as he thought, he instructed him a few words and let them leave, and he and Mei continued to talk.

"It seems that I was overthinking, and that kid is much stronger than I thought."

"It seems that Bronya also has some understanding of my feelings back then, which is good."

"Sister Mei Yi...... Mei Yi! Please don't say that. ”

Although Bronya was a little shy, she knew that what Mei said was true, and she seemed to care about Rin a little too much.

"Rin, then, I'll leave it to you, Mei Yi, even though I've put your team in danger...... But be sure to protect the child. ”

"That's not your problem, Bronya, Rin's kid is very good, I'm sure he won't let you worry about it."

Mei replied to Bronya with a smile.

Although Bronya is not worried about Rin's strength, he is very powerful, and after getting Hypernetus and Overlord Cells, his strength is significantly stronger than the two members of the same group, and he can even wrestle with Shizuru. However, she was worried that Rin's indiscriminate use of the Demon King's armor would cut his lifespan, and she was still worried that Rin would make him disregard his own safety because of this.

"Carol is getting better."

Mei noticed that Dr. Edward was done, and was relieved to see Carol being pushed on a mobile stretcher by the doctors.

"Captain Bronya, my assistant just talked to me about something, and I want her to come and talk to you personally."

Looking at Akia poking her head out of the door, with an embarrassed expression, Bronya smiled and looked at her with kind eyes.

Akia crept in when everyone noticed her, looking around in a panic while trying to hide behind Dr. Edward's back. Dr. Edward, noticing that Agia was hiding behind him, looking timid, laughed to himself, and said to the crowd:

"Then I'll go, I won't bother you."

After Dr. Edward left, Akia kept her head down, her fingers constantly rubbing, and she didn't dare to say a word.

"Akia."

"Yes!!"

After Bronya called out to her, she quickly raised her head in response, startling both of them.

"Just say anything, you have also been a Valkyrie with me for a few months, what are you embarrassed to say, can't you tell Sister Bronya?"

"I ...... I ......"

Next to her, Mei also tries to encourage this girl who looks almost exactly like Kiana, but Aqia is a very shy person unlike Kiana they remember.

"I want to go with you!"

She said.

A look of surprise and then a kind smile as Bronya motioned for Akia to come to her, then took her hand.

"If it's true...... Welcome back, then, Second Lieutenant Akia. ”

"Yes!"

After Mei told Bronya to get a good rest, she went about her business, and for her, she was anxious to hear that something had happened to her team member, Adam.

Although she is sure that although Adam fell into the sea, she knows from the previous experience that she was desperately saved by Adam that Adam will never die easily because of this.

Therefore, she decided to apply to Eurandelle to go to the waters of Area Z to find out Adam's whereabouts.

The members of this mission include Rin and Shizuru from Bronya's unit, as well as Aqia, who has just returned to Unit 7, and Chera from her own unit, a total of five people. The first group of the Dawning Special Operation, that is, the group led by Urlander, suffered heavy losses, and in the process of crusading against Botupin, the eighth unit belonging to the Valkyrie combat unit lost a lot of D-level and C-level Valkyrie combat members.

The operation is expected to start tomorrow, and Mei Yi hasn't had a good night's sleep, after all, she is also worried about Adam's whereabouts.

Meeting point for Day 2: Huberian Fifth Airport

"Good morning, Captain Mei."

Arriving at the meeting place, at the fifth airport of Hyperion, Shizuru was already waiting for her here with Akia and Rin. But, unlike usual, she also saw the bandaged man in black behind the three, leaning against the wall as if he was dozing off-Aiden.

"Ah, you are...... That ...... that day"

Aiden heard Mei Yi's voice and raised his head to notice her, so he quickly sorted out his demeanor and revealed his identity.

"This is the Aiden I mentioned to Captain Mei, the former member of the New Arcadia Polaris Alliance, 'Doctor' Aiden."

"I'm glad I will."

The reason why Dr. Edward, that is, Aiden, came with this time is very simple, he is worried about Akia, Akia, as his assistant and his hair, has been with him for a long time, and the purpose of his follow-up this time is to see if Akia will lose any chains like in the battle against Annania that day.

Although Akia served briefly in Bronya's army for a short time, at that time, Akia was only doing simple tasks such as logistics.

"I contacted Aiden, and he knew a lot about their situation when he was an executive on New Arcadia, so I asked for his help."

Rin begins to explain to Mei and the others why Aiden is here, but he and Aiden both know it - after all, Aiden's true identity is Dr. Edward.

"Mr. Aiden, you said that the giant beast that Bronya and the others encountered yesterday is a member of the Polaris Alliance, is the situation true?"

"It's completely true, the enemy you encountered is a mimic lawgiver codenamed 'Sea Tide', she has very terrifying abilities, the more serious she is damaged, the bigger she becomes, and in the end, it may cause a large-scale collapse disaster, so you can't leave it alone."

Aiden replied honestly, telling all the information about the "sea tide".

Some time ago, after Aiden and Agnes had a breakdown, his sister Ace was not less targeted in New Arcadia, however, because Ace's follow-up work was in place, Agnes couldn't trouble her if he wanted to.

Now he can act with Rin without any worries, and also for his own revenge, to take revenge on Agnes, who took away his human identity.
