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

Cecilia's lance is the Divine Key "Black Abyss White Flower," which poses a great threat to her. If she is accidentally pierced by the Black Abyss White Flower, she will be seriously injured even if she does not die.

Cecilia shook her head and then explained, "I can tell you don't want to hurt us, and you're even paying attention to the Valkyries' condition while fighting me to avoid accidentally killing them."

"You know it all?"

"No, I know nothing."

Cecilia shook her head, then gave a gentle smile. "So—can you tell me about your difficulties?"

Aurora fell silent, seemingly struggling with her thoughts or trying to find the right words, but in reality, she was waiting for Qiu Bi's instructions.

In response, Qiu Bi naturally allowed Aurora to recount her experiences.

Cecilia is naive and easily trusts others. Moreover, Aurora's stories are all based on her own experiences, which greatly enhances her credibility.

Furthermore, this move perfectly aligns with Aurora's mission to delay Cecilia.

"Dad has agreed to this."

Aurora clenched her hands together, and a sudden gust of wind enveloped her and Cecilia, creating a secluded environment where no one could disturb them.

"dad?"

Cecilia looked at Aurora with a puzzled expression, "The 'father' you're referring to is...?"

"Before I became a Herrscher, I was actually an orphan. My current father is not my biological father, and Bella, Agatha, and Galina are all orphans."

"I understand……"

Cecilia suddenly understood, then fell silent and listened quietly to Aurora's story.

……

The base of the Tower of Babylon.

Patrick leaned against the elevator door and yawned sleepily.

"How boring... When will the Snow Wolf Squad arrive here?"

Patrick's mission was not to stop his fellow Snow Wolves, but to intercept "unrelated individuals" sneaking into the Tower of Babel.

Therefore, even if her fellow Snow Wolf Squad members entered the Tower of Babel, she had to let them through and could not use the excuse of stopping them to relieve her boredom.

"I envy Salome so much... It must be so much more fun at the top of the tower than at the bottom."

Before he could finish speaking, Patrick seemed to sense something and suddenly looked towards the passage ahead.

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the corridor and quickly reached Patrick's ears.

Moreover, loud footsteps echoed from the passage behind them.

"Which two members of the Snow Wolf Squad could it be?"

Patrick muttered to himself, patiently waiting for his "companions" in the two passages ahead and behind.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Questioning, Battle

Not long after, Shub appeared in Patrick's sight, looking hurried and anxious.

"Oh? Isn't this Shub? Long time no see."

Patrick greeted her with a smile, immediately attracting Shub's attention.

"Patrick...weren't you missing?"

"Pretty much. After all, he's been unconscious for several days, so let's just call him missing for now."

Patrick put his hands on his hips and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Then, before Shub could ask any more questions, her "companion" from the back passage arrived.

"Shub and...Patrick?"

The newcomer was a girl with a gray-blue, hip-length ponytail and light blue pupils; she was none other than Shigure Kira, an A-rank Valkyrie from the Snow Wolf Squad.

"Oh! Long time no see, Qiluo."

Patrick greeted him with a smile, then pressed the elevator button, causing the elevator doors to open slowly.

"Patrick, why are you here?"

"Well... you'll find out soon enough, now hurry up and go up."

Patrick pointed to the elevator without explaining why he was there.

Upon hearing this, Shubu and Shigure Kira did not hesitate for long and immediately stepped into the elevator.

“Go to the top of the tower. Salome is waiting for you there.”

Before the elevator doors closed, Patrick specifically reminded the two women.

She then watched the elevator ascend to the upper levels of the Tower of Babel and couldn't help but sigh.

The thought of being bored for a long time ahead shattered my good mood about seeing my companions, leaving only endless depression and boredom.

……

As the elevator slowly ascended, Shubu and Shigure Kira remained silent, their expressions grave.

After a while, Shub couldn't contain her emotions and asked, "Kira, why did you enter the Tower of Babel alone?"

“One of the Herrscher’s retinues was stationed on the east side of the Tower of Babylon. In an instant, they defeated the Valkyrie force I led, but they did not kill the Valkyries, nor did they attack me.”

There's no need for Shigure Kira to explain the rest; her presence here proves everything.

If Galina hadn't allowed Shigure Kira to enter, she would never have been able to enter the Tower of Babel.

“I encountered a similar situation to you, but since the Herrscher family did not attack us, I simply sent the Valkyries to support Lord Siegfried.”

Shub held the crimson figure and murmured, feeling the current situation growing increasingly chaotic.

As a member of the Herrscher's family, Patrick avoids fighting and killing at every turn, and his whereabouts are unknown, yet he has appeared at the Tower of Babel...

Shub couldn't understand the situation at all; all she wanted to do was find Salome as soon as possible and ask her what was going on.

Shigure Kira pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on the floor the elevator was on, and did not answer Shubu.

Shub abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to speak, and waited anxiously and with doubt in her heart for the elevator to reach the top floor of the Tower of Babylon.

Before long, accompanied by the gentle vibration of the elevator, Shub and Shigure Kira arrived at the top of the Tower of Babylon.

The two looked at each other in silence, suddenly tensing up, ready to fight at any moment.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and before the two women could even see what was outside, a familiar voice had already entered their ears.

“Shabu, Kira, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Upon hearing this, Shub and Shigure Kira looked in the direction of the voice and saw Salome standing outside the elevator.

Shub quickly left the elevator and rushed to Salome.

"Hey! Salome, what's going on? Weren't you being chased by Herrscher familiars?"

"You stupid dog, haven't you seen the current situation clearly all along?"

Salome sighed, then explained, "The Second Herrscher never had any intention of destroying humanity or human civilization."

"But……"

"Has the Second Herrscher ever caused a major catastrophe?"

"This...no."

"Did the Second Herrscher commit massacres of humanity?"

"Salome, of course it is—our comrades are being attacked by Herrscher's Familiars!"

"Shab, you really are a stupid dog..."

Salome sighed again, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "If they really wanted to kill you, do you think you could get into the Tower of Babel?"

Then, before Shub could answer, Salome dropped a bombshell that left both Shub and Shigure Kira in disbelief.

"They are not just Herrscher's companions; each of them possesses a complete Herrscher Core and is equivalent to a true Herrscher!"

"This...this is impossible?! Why are there so many Herrschers appearing at the same time?!"

"That's a long story, but..."

Salome sighed softly, "The best explanation is indeed to knock you unconscious first. When you wake up again, you will know everything."

Upon hearing this, the two women's expressions changed drastically. Shub couldn't help but angrily question, "Salome, have you gone mad?! This is betrayal! You will be executed!"

"Further words are useless. Once you awaken again, you will understand the significance of my actions."

As Salome spoke, the three magnetic field pointers floating behind her slowly dispersed, and twelve magnetic field blades flew out from the pointers, swirling and circling around her.

Seeing this, Shubu and Shigure Kira knew that this battle was unavoidable, so they immediately entered battle mode.

Salome assumed the starting pose for the dance, and then unveiled the curtain on the magnificent performance.

The dance was graceful, and the blades flew.

Under Salome's command, the magnetic blade moved like an elegant dance partner, concealing all danger and murderous intent beneath its graceful surface.

Faced with a full twelve magnetic blades, Shub was struggling to keep up, and Shigure Kira wasn't much better off, finding herself in a bit of a predicament.

Compared to Shub, who uses the Blood Whisper, Shigure Kira uses the "Musical Note Blade," which allows her to wield up to six musical note short blades.

Logically speaking, in a battle of equal skill, Shigure Kira should be able to use these six musical note short blades to contend with Salome's twelve magnetic field blades.

However, reality turned out that the two short blades of musical notes could barely withstand one magnetic field blade. Even including herself and the musical note curse blade, Shigure Kira could only withstand four magnetic field blades.

"What exactly is going on?"

Shi Yu Qi Luo was horrified and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

Since Salome had no intention of killing the two, she gave Shigure Kira time to think.

Based on Salome's current demonstrated strength, she could never be an A-rank Valkyrie.

However, how did Salome manage to leap from an A-rank Valkyrie to an S-rank Valkyrie in just a few days?

Shigure Kira couldn't understand it, and had no idea how to defeat Salome.

As members of the same team, the two knew each other very well.
