Even if Bella accidentally kills the Valkyrie, Sirin can use the Herrscher of Death's power to bring her back to life.
"I understand."
Bella nodded slightly, then flapped her lightning wings and rushed toward the convoy.
……
at the same time.
Salome and Shub noticed Bella rushing towards them, and their expressions instantly became very serious and solemn.
"She must be a Herrscher's familiar, and her strength must be greater than that of an ordinary Honkai Beast."
"It doesn't matter, just kill them!"
Shub gripped the crimson murmur tightly, preparing to meet Bella.
Salome frowned and scolded, "You idiot! Our objective isn't to kill the enemy, but to protect the vehicle's retreat!"
"But……"
"I'll lure her away; you continue escorting the convoy to safety!"
"Salome, are you crazy?! Luring her away alone will put you in the midst of a Honkai Beast siege!"
"From the very beginning of becoming a Valkyrie, I was prepared to face death."
Salome smiled, showing no fear of death.
Then, she used her magnetic blades to attack Bella, who was charging towards her, and at the same time, she left the convoy without hesitation and rushed in another direction.
Upon seeing this, Bella immediately changed her course, ignoring the fleeing convoy and heading straight for Salome.
"Salome..."
Shub watched Salome leave, a hint of sadness showing between her brows.
no doubt.
Salome's journey is doomed to certain death.
Even if they manage to escape Bella's pursuit, they will eventually perish in the siege of Honkai Beasts.
Om-!
A rush-class Honkai Beast suddenly emerged from the snow beside it, its small wings trembling, and abruptly attacked Shub, who was standing on the carriage.
Shub didn't look at the Assault-class Honkai Beast; she simply waved the Crimson Whisper, directing it towards the Assault-class Honkai Beast.
boom!
The next second, an extremely faint sound rang out, quickly drowned out by the sound of a snowmobile speeding by.
In contrast, the rush-class Honkai Beast had already become a corpse.
"Salome, after I escort these researchers to a safe area, I will come back to find you. I will never let you sleep in the cold snow!"
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Agatha's Hands Itched
Salome was completely unaware of Shub's determination. At this moment, she was running around in a panic, trying to avoid the attacks of the Honkai Beasts and attract Bella's attention. She was already exhausted.
Bella did not rush to attack Salome, but instead followed Salome closely like a cat playing with a mouse.
Qiu Bi's order was to take the Valkyrie back and not kill her. The best solution was to exhaust her, at which point she could be easily captured alive.
"Hmm... that's a bit risky. Let's apply some external force."
Bella pondered for a few seconds, then extended her right hand.
One by one, the spheres of lightning gradually coalesced, and then, like meteorites falling from the sky, they crashed down swiftly and heavily near Salome.
boom!
A massive explosion reverberated across the snowfield, and lightning mixed with snowflakes swept in all directions, engulfing the panicked Salome.
With Bella deliberately aiming, no matter which direction Salome runs, she will eventually be swept away by the aftershocks of the exploding Thunder Sphere.
Seeing this, Bella clapped her hands lightly and whispered, "Let's leave the rest to the Honkai Beasts."
The explosion of the Thunder Sphere not only engulfed Salome, but also caused the nearby Honkai Beasts to change their targets and rush towards her.
Bella crossed her left arm over her chest, rested her right hand on top of her left, and supported her cheek, patiently enjoying Salome's "performance".
Before becoming a Valkyrie, Salome was a talented dancer who displayed her elegant figure on stage for many years. After becoming a Valkyrie, her fighting style continued the habits of a dancer, and every battle was like an elegant and noble dance.
Even now, in this perilous situation, her body's instincts make her fighting posture quite graceful and elegant.
Unfortunately, no matter how graceful or elegant the fighting style was, it could not change the final outcome.
Just before killing Salome, the Honkai Beast will attack with all its might under the influence of the Discipline.
Therefore, Salome must remain fully focused in order to evade the Honkai Beasts' attacks to the greatest extent possible.
If hit by a Honkai Beast, it is very likely to cause a complete defeat and ultimately die at the hands of the Honkai Beast.
"I can't hold on much longer..."
Salome gritted her teeth and tried her best to perform an elegant yet noble dance of slaughter.
Although it severely damaged a large number of Honkai Beasts, it killed very few of them and its stamina was extremely depleted, so it would soon be exhausted.
Salome knew she couldn't delay any longer and had to find a way to break through the encirclement, but...
Bella's delay in attacking left Salome deeply puzzled and uneasy.
What exactly is she trying to do?
Salome stealthily glanced at Bella, and seeing that she made no move, her doubts and unease deepened.
If Bella truly wanted to kill her, she could have attacked while Bella was surrounded, but instead, she made no move...
Salome was baffled, but her rapidly depleting energy prevented her from continuing to ponder the matter, so she had no choice but to temporarily put it aside and try to break through the encirclement.
Upon seeing this, Bella finally reacted.
"Is he finally about to exhaust himself?"
Bella murmured something, then flapped her lightning wings and quickly followed Salome.
With her extensive experience, Salome accurately identified the weak point in the Honkai Beast formation and used it as a breakthrough to quickly break through the Honkai Beasts' encirclement.
Before long, Salome moved away from the Honkai Beasts and found a secluded and safe place, but she also knelt down on one knee because she was exhausted.
"Ha ha……"
Salome let out a heavy sigh, trying her best to recover her depleted strength, hoping to regain some strength before the Honkai Beasts discovered her.
Just then, Bella slowly descended in front of Salome, her lightning wings gradually gathering behind her before finally disappearing without a trace.
Feeling Bella land, Salome struggled to lift her head and stubbornly looked directly at Bella.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
"Purpose? I just want to take you to see that person; I have no ill intentions."
"That lord?"
"You'll find out soon enough... in the meantime, you should get some sleep."
Bella extended her index finger and gently touched Salome's forehead.
The next second, a powerful electric current surged into Salome's body, coursing through her limbs and bones.
When the current stopped, Salome had already fallen into a coma.
Then, Bella picked up Salome in a princess carry, and her back extended wings woven with lightning, before flying toward the magic wand above the Tower of Babel.
……
Above the Tower of Babel.
Qiu Bi and the others enjoyed the killing dance music from Salome and couldn't help but show joyful smiles.
"The Snow Wolf Squad has already acquired two members. Now, all that remains are Shub Nicholas, Shigure Kira, Cheng Lixue, and... the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, Cecilia Schariac."
"Dad, are you going to form a second magical girl team?"
Xilin looked up at Qiu Bi, her golden eyes filled with curiosity.
Qiu Bi smiled and ruffled Xilin's hair, explaining, "It's not about forming a magical girl team, but a Valkyrie team."
In fact, Qiu Bi hadn't figured out what to do with the Snow Wolf Squad yet, but that didn't stop him from acquiring them ahead of time.
"Dad, is there anything we can do to help?"
Agata stood behind Qiu Bi, looking itchy and eager to try.
Qiu Bi pondered for a few seconds, then whispered, "There's no rush now. Let these Honkai Beasts play with the Valkyries for a few days. Once Bella returns, we can go home."
"Dad, can we go to the amusement park?"
"Of course, but you need Mom's permission first."
"Mom will definitely agree to Celine's request! Because Mom loves Celine the most, just like Dad!"
Hearing Xilin's cheers, Qiu Bi couldn't help but chuckle.
Not long after, Bella returned to the magic wand carrying Salome.
"Sir, what should we do with her?"
Unlike Aurora, Agatha, and Galina, Bella, despite respecting and admiring Qiu Bi, refused to call him "Dad," instead addressing him as "adult," leaving one wondering what she was thinking.
Qiu Bi picked up Sirin and stood up. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Let's go to the Imaginary Space first, and then I will plant the 'Commandments' on Salome and Patrick."
"Daddy, what about Celine's magic wand?"
"Does Celine want to set off fireworks?"
Qiu Bi knew very well that given Sirin's "little angel" nature, she would never destroy the Tower of Babylon with her magic wand. Therefore, she could only choose to let the magic wand self-destruct, thereby attracting the world's attention.
"Cirin wants to set off fireworks, and she wants super big fireworks!"
"Then let's blow up the magic wand."
"Eh?"
