They didn't have to wait long.
Einstein arrived with a mecha unit.
Cocolia had even gathered most of Anti-Entropy's armed organizations, bringing every available mecha weapon.
It was clear she was deeply worried about the Rozaliya sisters and Bronya.
But the moment they arrived at the Sea of Quanta City, they were shocked by the phenomenon before their eyes.
The frozen Honkai Beasts and the slowly sinking seawater left them in a state of panic for a moment.
The Sea of Quanta City, covered in snowflakes, looked exquisitely beautiful.
However, such extreme brilliance was bought at the cost of danger.
Could such an occurrence really just be the Sea of Quantas Eye going berserk?
Before she saw the group, Cocolia bit her lip, her heart sinking into the abyss.
What on earth happened?
With such a massive disturbance, let alone people, not even seaweed could survive.
The next moment, seeing everyone on the transport ship preparing to depart, Cocolia's heart finally settled.
Rozaliya spotted Cocolia and quickly waved, shouting, "Mama Cocolia, we're over here!"
Einstein also let out a sigh of relief when she saw Tesla standing with her hands on her hips, grumbling.
As everyone gathered, the Sea of Quanta City was practically filled with Anti-Entropy personnel and mechas.
After a quick check showed Bronya and the others were unharmed, Cocolia asked Liliya, who was fiddling with her fingers, "Liliya, what exactly happened? Tell me quickly."
"Um~ simply put, it snowed..."
"Snowed? Are you joking!"
Cocolia didn't believe her, even feeling that Liliya was insulting her intelligence.
This is six thousand meters under the sea; how could it possibly snow?
Even if they were trying to lighten the mood after the battle, this was no way to joke!
Seeing that she wasn't believed, Liliya could only stand there helplessly.
Refusing to give up, Cocolia turned to Rozaliya and asked, "Then Rozaliya, you tell Mama, what exactly happened?"
"Eh~ I don't know either. It was just 'whoosh,' and suddenly it started snowing. It was so magical."
Rozaliya blinked and told the truth.
It really did snow, and it was a huge snowfall!
Einstein also marveled at the sight, sighing at the beautiful snowscape:
"What beautiful ice sculptures. The person who could create such sculptures must be a very refined artist, right?"
"Birds Nest Head, you actually understand art? Don't talk nonsense," Tesla huffed. "To think you came to save this lady so late. If someone hadn't dealt with those Honkai Beasts, you would have arrived just to collect my corpse."
"By the way, I have some news for you, especially for those from Schicksal's Far East Branch."
Einstein adjusted her glasses. When the group from St. Freya Academy gathered, she said seriously:
"Schicksal Headquarters previously issued a statement declaring your Far East Branch as rebels. A large force is already on its way. I was handling this matter before I came. Since you were all absent, I couldn't mobilize the main force, but I dispatched a portion of Anti-Entropy's mecha units to reinforce the Far East Branch."
"Because of the mecha defense line previously deployed by Benares and Theresa, combined with being the furthest geographical location from Schicksal Headquarters, the defense line should not have been broken yet. I heard Murata Himeko is in full charge."
The members of the Far East Branch became even more tense upon hearing this news.
The end of the Sea of Quantas Eye's rampage was only followed by even greater matters awaiting them!
Otto Apocalypse could no longer contain his ambition and had declared the Far East Branch as rebels!
Schicksal had seen such situations before; for instance, the predecessor of Anti-Entropy was once one of Schicksal's branches.
Thus, the Valkyrie regulations of Schicksal contained specific punishments for rebellion, and their methods were completely ruthless. Moreover, with Otto commanding this time, they would likely be even more cruel.
To achieve his goals, even his own Valkyries could be treated as useless tools.
Let alone the Valkyries of St. Freya Academy.
Any obstacle standing in his way would be completely cleared away!
"That Otto!!!"
Kiana was beyond furious, her rage burning from deep within, a golden glint flashing through her eyes.
"If anything happens to Teacher Jizi, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"
"Teacher Jizi..." Mei's face also turned pale, unable to imagine such an outcome.
How could they hold?
Facing the main force of Schicksal Headquarters, how could Himeko hold out?
With her body already battered and broken by Honkai erosion?
No!
It was impossible!
If Himeko didn't die at the hands of the Herrscher of the Void as she did in the Challenge Space, but was instead killed by the iron hooves of Schicksal Headquarters...
If that happened, they would regret it for the rest of their lives!
Even if they had to chase him to the ends of the earth, they would kill Otto!
Theresa felt a wave of regret. In fact, as early as the last challenge mission, she had already been preparing to flee Schicksal and cooperate with Anti-Entropy.
But time was simply too short.
She had also been too hesitant and indecisive.
She hadn't taken the initiative to cut the cord with Schicksal, and now she was suffering the backlash!
Perhaps it was Rita; she too had seen the future and knew the Far East Branch would defect from Schicksal, which is why she informed Otto in advance.
This was all her own doing!
Why didn't she draw her blade sooner? Why didn't she rebel sooner!
Fire burned in the eyes of everyone from the Far East Branch; every single one of them was fuming with rage.
The Far East Branch had guarded Schicksal for so long, yet during those two Honkai Beast tides, they received no support.
Their usual funding was obtained by Theresa through various organizations; Schicksal provided very little.
Yet when they obtained mecha blueprints, Theresa had immediately handed them over to Schicksal Headquarters.
But how did they treat the Far East Branch?
Rebellion? War? Invasion?
Just as everyone was preparing to rush back for reinforcements, they heard a booming vibration!
—ROAR!!!
Above the Sea of Quanta City, intense Honkai Energy suddenly exploded!
A purple light flared!
The abyss became even deeper and colder.
Everyone was jolted and turned their gaze toward the source.
A sharp claw, a monstrous hand as large as a basketball court, gripped a stone pillar of the city wall.
They felt the seawater vibrate, a sense of oppression following them like a shadow.
The next second, the monster poked its head out—an eyeless existence appeared.
The horns atop its head were like sword blades, its twisted face was filled with dense, sharp teeth, and its body consisted only of deep purple skeletal remains.
The monster was so massive that everyone could only struggle to see the tip of the iceberg.
This colossal Honkai Beast was countless times larger even than Benares.
Trallok.
This ruler of the abyss was no different from a god of rain!
Even though they had anticipated it, the moment Trallok actually appeared, Theresa and the others were still incredibly frustrated.
If they had the time, they could indeed gather their strength to deal with it!
But there was no time left; the Far East Branch was in imminent danger.
How could they have time to deal with a Judgement-level Honkai Beast?
"..."
Bronya took this scene in, her heart prepared.
Since she could kill it in the future, she could do it now!
The Herrscher of Reason was ready!
