sizzle...

"Still can't contact Theresa...?"

At the Destiny headquarters, Amethyst lay on her bed at home, staring at the communicator in her hand, lost in thought.

"Hehe~Brother~"

Kiana, who was standing next to her, stretched out her little hand to fiddle with Zijing's face. The latter had no choice but to stretch out a hand to play with her.

Cecilia came in from outside with a little sadness on her face, "I can't contact Siegfried either..."

Maybe they were in trouble...

Thinking of this, Zijing picked up Kiana and put her aside, then turned over and got out of bed.

"? Are you feeling better now?" Cecilia asked.

"It's not a big problem. Thank you for your care. I have to go over and take a look at the situation." Zijing touched Kiana's little head, put on her coat and set off.

"Be careful. I have also contacted other teams, but there was no response. Perhaps it was just some special factors that caused the communication failure, but it is not ruled out that they are really in danger..."

Cecilia was actually worried about Siegfried and Theresa, but since she still had Kiana to take care of at home, she was hesitant about whether to go with Amethyst.

Seeing Cecilia's worry, Zijing said, "Almost all the forces of Tianming are involved in this operation. Even if there is danger, it will only be temporary. There is no possibility of any accident..."

What's more, it's not just the people from Tianming who are participating in the operation this time... If unforeseen situations arise, those people should lend a hand, right?

"..."

Cecilia nodded slightly, but also made a decision. If communication was not restored within three days from today, she would choose to go and provide support.

After watching Zijing, who was originally a patient, leave the residence, Cecilia had no reason to stay here any longer, so she picked up Kiana and walked towards home.

"Mom, brother, where did he go?" Kiana asked in an innocent voice, holding onto Cecilia's shoulders and looking behind her, but she could no longer see Amethyst.

Cecilia smiled slightly, gently stroked Kiana's hair, and replied softly: "Brother Zijing is going to carry out an important mission to help those in need~"

"Task?"

"Yes, and it's the same mission as dad~"

……

"Headquarters? Headquarters? Damn it! The communication is completely cut off!"

"The person who answered the call didn't respond at all!"

"what on earth is it?"

On the battlefield of Siberia, some of the Valkyries who survived the attack by the Honkai beasts hid in secret places, while others were still in deep crisis. So far, the Valkyries of the Destiny have suffered a lot of damage, there are too many Honkai beasts, and there is no shortage of high-level Honkai beasts.

The dark portal was like a murderous ghost. As long as they were still outside, there would be an endless stream of Honkai beasts rushing towards them.

"Do you want to retreat?"

"We can only retreat, right? We can't kill all the Honkai beasts, and the Herrscher hasn't shown up yet... Anyway, I don't believe that those things outside are normal natural phenomena. There must be a Herrscher secretly doing something behind the scenes!"

"But how do we retreat?"

"I can't even contact the outside world..."

"We are the Valkyries of Destiny. Even if we lose communication, we can't give up!"

"..."

"Lixue, are you still unable to contact Siegfried and the others?"

Shigure Kirara hid in a cave with her teammates and some of the other rescued Valkyrie teams. Listening to the sound of giant feet stepping on the ground from time to time outside, she couldn't help but lower her voice a little.

"No, no response." Cheng Lixue shook her head.

"According to the original plan, four people should have entered the Tower of Babel, but there has been no news of these four people so far... Maybe we should go there and take a look." Salome suggested.

"The Babylon Laboratory is very likely the center of this incident. Although there are no Honkai beasts interfering inside, could the Herrscher's real body be inside? Were Mr. Siegfried and his team directly attacked?" said a Valkyrie from another team.

“No way, Miss Karen is also among the four people... Is there really no news at all?” Some people felt panic. If Karen, one of the strongest Valkyries of Destiny, also met with an accident, then wouldn’t it be even more difficult for ordinary Valkyries like them to survive?

"Maybe he's just trapped, but we have to prepare for the worst..."

Cheng Lixue was the strongest among the group, so he naturally took on the leading role. "I will not sit here and wait for death. We must take action. Since the communication is interrupted, we can't rely on external support, we can only rely on our own strength."

"What should we do then?" someone asked, with a strong sense of uneasiness in his tone.

Cheng Lixue pondered for a moment, then said, "We need to confirm the situation in the Babylon Laboratory, which is likely the source of the incident. And if Mr. Siegfried and the others are really trapped there, we must find them as soon as possible. At the same time, we must also be prepared to face the Herrscher directly."

"But we can't even deal with the Honkai beasts outside... Isn't the power of the Herrscher that appeared this time a bit too much? Was the commotion caused by the first Herrscher's appearance so big?" someone asked.

"..."

Indeed, no matter what, the performance of this Second Herrscher was terrifying, teleporting endless Honkai beasts. If this wasn't Siberia, any other city would be razed to the ground in minutes.

Most of the Valkyries were afraid of the Second Herrscher itself because of the impact of the Honkai beasts, but no matter what, the Herrscher must be dealt with. Otherwise, when He leaves Siberia and leads the Honkai beast army to all parts of the world, the damage caused will definitely increase exponentially.

"The next question is how can we bypass those 'gates' and Honkai beasts without attracting the attention of the Herrscher?"

After a brief silence, Valkyries joined the subsequent discussion one after another. Although they were afraid, they could not just watch the disaster of Honkai spread to their homes.

"I have a guess."

Cheng Lixue stood up and walked to the cave entrance, revealing half of his face and looking at the empty sky. "The reason why those 'doors' can appear around us accurately is because there is a pair of invisible eyes always watching us. Only by getting rid of it can we hide here safely like we are now."

"The power of the Second Herrscher is most likely to control space. So there is a possibility that He is currently hiding in the space He created, secretly observing everything in the outside world."

Cheng Lixue looked at everyone. "Our Snow Wolf team will go out to attract His attention, and the rest of you will hide here and go out after a sufficient amount of time. If we are lucky, we can distract the Second Herrscher's attention and buy you enough time to reach the Babylon Laboratory smoothly."
