The surging swarm of beasts launched a frenzied attack on the blood-colored knight.
Sharp claws flashed with cold light, and tough armor reflected a fierce glint.
"—Roar!!!"
Hissing, roaring, and fury.
The attack of the Honkai Beast tide sent deep echoes through the deep sea.
Striving to break out of their cage, the sky-piercing roars even agitated the erosion rocks in the deepest depths!
One massive, dark silhouette after another shattered the silence, completely covering the water layer above.
Deep Sea City was plunged into total darkness!
The Honkai Beasts in the deep sea were countless, densely packed and crowding each other.
There were Honkai Beast Archdukes with hands like heavy hammers and bodies like mountains, and Frost Emperors as dark as ghosts.
And many more contaminated Honkai Beasts whose aura was far deeper and more corrupt than those on land.
Having been under the heavy pressure of seawater Honkai Energy for a long time, their strength was far greater than those on land!
At that moment, from the abyss, Theresa's blood-red aura seeped out through the scalding seawater.
"Crescent Verdict!"
Her body gradually became light, and bloodshot veins bit by bit occupied the original pure blue of her eyes.
Her eyes turned violent, and a bloodthirsty killing intent burst forth.
The gods handed down judgment, and the scarlet blades of Judas blurred in motion!
The Twilight Blades sliced through all enemies within a radius of several kilometers.
Blood Tide!
"Boom!"
A tide belonging to blood surged out.
In the undersea sky, a dark moon descended.
The dark moon was a profound black that sucked in all of the abyss, along with a bloodthirsty scarlet.
At this moment, time interlaced.
The midnight death knell rang.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
In the deepest part of the sea, the ancient chimes rippled through the dark water.
Burying the collapsing, decaying monsters in a funeral song.
They didn't even wait for the Honkai Beasts' attack; the beasts couldn't even touch her body.
Scarlet blades interlaced, and jet-black chains danced.
A storm of swords and chains turned everything it swept into dust.
Those outside the space only heard the deep tolling of the bell, followed by images turning a dark red.
Light laughter, the slight sound of clothes rubbing against skin, bloodlust, and killing intent intertwined within Deep Sea City, six thousand meters below the sea.
As the chains retracted, heavy flesh was torn apart in bursts.
The cutting of swords and halberds—the Blood Knight's paradise beneath the deep sea.
Seeing this, Theresa's eyes widened, her small mouth agape like a plate; she was stunned for a moment before swallowing several times, her throat feeling dry.
Swallowing her shock, her azure eyes sparkled with little stars of envy.
"See that? That's me~ Theresa is the cutest in the world!"
The others watching felt a bit chilled, especially by the combination of slaughter and giggling; the Blood Knight in the images seemed like a yandere loli.
Cold sweat broke out on Kiana's forehead, making her reach up to wipe it away.
It seemed she should avoid making her Aunt angry in the future.
With just this one move, who could take it?
Whether she was the cutest in the world was still debatable, but she was certainly the craziest in the world when the Blood Knight's restrictions were fully released.
Principal Theresa is so amazing.
Bronya sighed softly.
"However, since Einstein said that this berserk state puts a huge burden on the body, she probably won't be able to keep it up for long, right?" Fu Hua pushed up her glasses.
"I guess so. But whether it's strong or not is one thing; looking good is a lifetime matter. Aunt, can you lend me your armor to wear?"
Kiana leaned in front of Theresa and asked flatteringly.
"Lend it to you?" Theresa rolled her eyes in disdain. "With your small stature, you want to wear my armor? You probably wouldn't last three seconds."
Kiana huffed upon hearing that.
Calling her small... someone clearly didn't realize how tall she herself was... In the image.
The battle was not over.
The number of Honkai Beasts was decreasing at a visible rate.
But at the same time, an instinctive intuition told Theresa that the crisis was not yet over.
It's coming; something is coming.
A massive reaction source is approaching!
This reaction was coming from the Sea of Quantas Eye.
With a heavy thud of the heart.
Not far away, Bronya and Theresa looked up simultaneously, and Shuhu saw a scene that shocked them.
Above Deep Sea City, intense Honkai Energy exploded!
Purple light reclaimed the territory that belonged to the dark moon.
The abyss became even deeper and colder.
A claw—a monster's claw as large as a basketball court—clutched a stone pillar of the city wall. They felt the vibration of the seawater, and the pressure followed them like a shadow.
The next second, the monster poked its head out, facing Theresa and the others, seemingly intent on killing them.
An existence without eyes.
The horns atop its head were like sword blades, its distorted face was filled with dense, sharp teeth, and its body consisted only of deep purple bones.
A massive monster, of which the crowd could only catch a difficult glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.
This massive Honkai Beast was countless times larger than even Benares.
Even several football fields combined probably wouldn't be as large as its arm.
Trallok.
Its name comes from the rain god in Aztec mythology, who governs the rainy season, dry season, floods, and storms.
This ruler of the abyss was no different from a god of rain!
"W-What kind of monster is this?"
Theresa said in shock, hardly able to believe such a colossal being existed in this world!
It was practically no different from the gods in myths and legends.
Rozaliya and Liliya were also trembling; the Honkai Beast genes within them sensed its intimidation.
It was an innate fear, like a mouse seeing a cat.
But the monster did not attack them; it seemed unable to leave the Sea of Quantas Eye.
At the edge of the Sea of Quanta, the monster struggled violently.
Meanwhile, the energy of the Sea of Quantas Eye was continuously weakening.
Bronya looked at the instruments and murmured:
"Is the entrance to the Sea of Quanta closing?"
Suddenly, there was a loud "Boom!"
The monster's struggling shattered the platform beneath their feet.
The flying debris scattered everyone.
At that moment, time stood still for Bronya.
Now, she was the only one who could take action.
Reason told her she should quickly ensure her own safety, regroup with her companions, and then discuss a new plan.
But—
The Sea of Quantas Eye could close at any time, and besides Einstein, no one knew how to restart it.
Now that Einstein's whereabouts were unknown, finding her would be harder than climbing to heaven.
Before long, Schicksal, attracted by the commotion, would surround these ruins.
At that point, would there really be any possibility of reclaiming the gem of desire?
In other words, she could still enter the Sea of Quanta.
To find her?
What should she do?
Without the Headmaster's guidance or the Doctor's advice.
At this moment, Bronya had to make a decision for herself.
This was the last chance.
But the Sea of Quanta was so dangerous; it was a non-specific universe collapsed from parallel universes.
Theoretically, one could reach another universe simply by crossing the "Sea."
But theory was just theory; no one knew what lay at the end of the Sea—a void, or endless darkness.
Even a Herrscher wouldn't dare enter casually.
Let alone her, a mere Valkyrie.
Humans are often filled with fear of the unknown.
Bronya was no exception; she didn't want to die here.
Amidst the sudden choice.
A timid girl's soft voice seemed to drift into her ears.
"Big sister Bronya..."
—In the experiment of the summer of 2012, the girl named Bronya lost many things.
Her legs were completely destroyed by Honkai Energy; without equipping Exoskeleton Armor, she couldn't even move.
A part of her brain was burned.
From then on, she could no longer feel joy or show a smile.
And she lost her most important person... only this sadness, she didn't want to forget before meeting that person again.
Even now, Bronya Zaychik still often thinks of a certain girl's figure.
Thinking of her meeting with the girl.
Thinking of the childhood spent with the girl.
Thinking of the girl's tears, and the warm smile that followed.
And then Bronya would remember.
Every "once" she was accustomed to was already... a "past" she could never return to.
She took a deep look at the panicked Rozaliya and Liliya behind her.
Bronya expressed her apologies with her eyes.
She let go of her body, like a bird that had lost its wings, and leaped into the chaotic abyss.
Her soul felt light, and all distracting thoughts turned to nothingness at this moment.
She wanted to prove those pasts.
She wanted to find.
Those things that could not be erased.
