Honkai: Strijder

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Crack!

The sound of banging on the table grew louder and louder until a hole was smashed into the perfectly fine computer desk.

"Otto! Damn you! I can't take this shit anymore!"

Tesla stood up in frustration, her hair standing on it's end.

"Dr. Tesla, calm down."

"Calm down? You must be kidding! If I could tolerate this, would I have left Schicksal to establish Anti-Entropy back then!?"

Einstein just tugged at her sleeve, indicating for her to look behind.

Behind Tesla, Welt Yang was sitting there, silently, with no warm smile on his face as before.

His pupils kept fluctuating between brown and scarlet, a sign that the power of the Second Herrscher was brewing, with immense anger surging within him.

Tesla froze for a moment, turned around, and gave Welt a hug.

"It's okay, don't be angry. We'll go save him."

Tesla showed a rare gentleness, soothing the enraged lion that could explode at any moment.

As Welt's fluctuating pupils slowly stabilized, he looked at Einstein.

"Einstein, what is the fastest aircraft that we have in our possession?."

"There's one that can reach there in an hour and a half. Go with it."

Einstein said calmly. It seems that among the three of them, only she was not affected by the scenes on the battlefield.

However, Tesla and Welt could tell that her voice was no longer the carefree and indifferent tone from before; it was now colder, as if coated with a layer of ice.

"I'll go with you," Tesla quickly said.

But Welt embraced her soft and slender waist, took a deep breath, and said, "No, you and Einstein would stay here."

"But..."

"Have you thoroughly studied the secrets Siegfried left behind?"

"Of course!"

"Then stay here, buy Siegfried some time while waiting for rescue. Or, when I arrive, help us break through the encirclement."

"...Alright!"

Tesla nodded firmly, released Welt, and watched him walk out of the door.

After a while, Tesla patted her cheeks, returned to her computer desk, and rapidly typed on the keyboard.

"Dr. Tesla, I need your portion of the Titan robot command authority."

Einstein, busy on his own computer, suddenly requested something from Tesla.

Tesla didn't understand what Einstein was planning, but she decisively replied, "I'm authorizing you. Do your best! I'll make some adjustments here, using the backdoors I left behind... Otto, right? This time, I'll make you cry too!!"

At this moment, the three giants of Anti-Entropy were going all out.

In fact, they were not familiar with Cecilia, and even less acquainted with Kiana; they only knew Siegfried.

But even with this familiarity, if Siegfried were to be killed by Otto directly, they could only lament and wait patiently for the day of reckoning.

However, now, when they saw this scene of ruthless annihilation, even though the person on the battlefield was not the Siegfried they knew but a stranger, if they remained indifferent—as Tesla said, then what was the point of establishing Anti-Entropy?

...

Siegfried had already entered a semi-beastified state, with a sharp black horn protruding from the left side of his head, and scales appeared on half of his face.

The mechanical arm that Tesla carefully crafted had disappeared, corroded and melted away by excessive Honkai energy, replaced by a ferocious giant beast's claw.

At the same time, the Judgement of Shamash was switched to zero-rated output. The blazing greatsword was gripped in his hand.

"Otto! I'll make you pay!!!"

Boom!

In response to Siegfried's fierce attack, there was a continuous hail of cannonballs.

In theory, such attacks should have been like a drizzle to Siegfried in this state, and even getting close to him would be impossible; he would easily melt them away with Honkai energy and high temperatures.

However, in reality, these cannonballs pushed Siegfried backward one after another. Soon, he found it difficult to even stand properly, and he could only use the Judgement of Shamash as a shield, kneeling on the ground, struggling to hold on.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The overwhelming barrage, like a torrential rain, washed over the ground around Siegfried, creating a breathtaking scene of high-temperature devastation.

...

In the sky, Otto sat in front of the projection screen and leisurely enjoyed a snack.

"Mm, so sweet."

"Did you think that using that state would be effective?"

"How naive!"

"The blood flowing in the veins of those clones is almost as pure as the Schariac Holy Blood."

"The Schariac Holy Blood is widely considered as something that is highly effective to be used against Honkai Beasts and Herrschers, but in fact, what they destroy best at is Honkai energy!"

"Now, you stand within the anti-Honkai energy domain paved by Holy Blood, covered in thick Holy Blood... Be angry, erupt! The stronger Honkai energy you unleash, the more damage Holy Blood will cause you."

"Respectable warrior, to die in the blood of your wife and daughter, how absurd life can be! What an excellent drama this is, ha!"

Otto covered his face with one hand, lifted the teacup, not knowing who he was toasting to, and chuckled softly.

...

As Otto had predicted, Siegfried, suppressed by the Schariac Holy Blood, could not unleash powerful Honkai energy, and instead, it continuously ravaged his body.

Finally, the more he erupted, the weaker he became, and he was sent flying by a direct hit from a cannonball, rolling far away on the ground.

The Judgement of Shamash in Siegfried's hand had dimmed, and the flickering flames indicated that it was close to its limit and could return to its original dual-gun form at any moment.

"What... is happening?"

Siegfried shook his head, stood up, looked at his battered body, and gnashed his teeth in frustration.

"Is it possible that my body can no longer support this state?"

"No! No way! I can't fall here!"

"Kiana... Kiana! Daddy's coming to save you! Wait for me!!!"

"My body, my soul, everything... It doesn't matter! For Kiana, let me burn with power!!!"

The high temperature evaporated the surrounding blood, and the continuously erupting Honkai energy finally broke through the purification limit of Schariac Holy Blood.

Siegfried roared to the sky, swinging the Judgement of Shamash.

Boom boom boom!!!

The fiery strike tore through the sky, obliterating countless cannonballs in one fell swoop.

The scorching heat seemed to spread into the high sky, igniting the entire sky.

After nearly ten minutes of continuous bombardment, Siegfried and the Judgement of Shamash finally displayed their full power.

...

Back in the same room, it was still Otto Apocalypse.

He covered his face, put down the tea cup, and sighed.

"Kaslana, you're such an unpredictable group. Do you rely on yelling when you erupt? You're so similar to Kallen."

"Forget it, let me see what else is useful."

"Should I send another clone army? But it's the same old script; it's a bit boring!"

"Hm… How about calling over my old friend? forget it, this is just a small matter, no need to bother her."

"Valkyrie Corps, mechs, new weapons... Ah, there are too many choices, it's also a headache!"

"Oh... right, why not take this opportunity to try the gift from my new friend!"

...

Siegfried transformed into a massive burning fireball, forcefully breaking through the defense field of the Schicksal headquarters.

Just as he was about to step into the sky base, several red laser beams precisely targeted Siegfried's weak spots, creating a few openings on him and sending him crashing back to the ground.

As Siegfried fell, his wounds visibly healed at an incredible speed. He looked up, facing the sunlight, and saw a familiar figure standing in the light.

"Sigurd... is that you, young man?"

Bang!

Siegfried crashed to the ground.

At the same time, a figure resembling Sigurd, with empty eyes, descended as well, accompanied by countless black floating spheres that fired numerous laser beams at Siegfried.

"Another clone? Otto, you're truly a devil."

Siegfried rolled and briefly escaped danger, then suddenly rushed forward, sweeping his Judgement of Shamash towards "Sigurd's" neck.

Since it was a clone and not "Cecilia" or "Kiana," Siegfried gritted his teeth and could still strike firmly.

However, at that moment, a sharp whistle came from the wind, and a glimmer of cold light flew towards Siegfried's head with the speed and force to pierce through it.

Clang!

Siegfried used an excessive amount of Honkai energy to form scales on his forehead and forcibly blocked a sharp spear with his forehead.

The spear shattered, and Siegfried's head tilted backward as he took a few steps back, his pupils shrinking.

"Such tremendous force, and so fast at that, it's almost impossible to dodge, like light!"

In the distance, "Sin Mal" slowly raised her hand, her hollow and unnatural eyes emitting a fluorescent glow. She held a spear, ready to strike.

"That's... a clone of Kiana's friend!"

In surprise, countless red dots appeared on Siegfried, indicating that "Sigurd" launched his attack.

Shoo!

Boom!
