"Since it was a man-made Honkai Eruption, why did the third herrscher appear?" Himeko frowned.
"I'm not sure." Theresa shook her head.
She was also very troubled by this question.
The Third Honkai Eruption was a man-made Honkai Eruption, so theoretically, the possibility of a Herrscher appearing was very small, but the third herrscher still appeared.
Honkai events are also graded. A Honkai Eruption that produces a Herrscher is a Great Honkai Eruption and will be numbered.
The Third Honkai Eruption means that there were two equally dangerous Honkai Eruptions before it.
"I think I know about the third herrscher." Rita spoke up at this moment.
"You know?" Everyone present looked at Rita, wanting to hear what she had to say.
"Yes, among the tasks given by Lord Bishop, one was to observe the third herrscher's situation." Rita nodded.
"So you really came with other tasks, didn't you?" Himeko looked at Rita. "I told you, don't lay a hand on my students."
"Rita is only observing; there is no task that requires Rita to take action." Rita smiled and nodded.
"Alright, Sister Himeko, let Rita say what she knows first. I think this is also what my grandfather wanted you to say, right?" Theresa sighed.
"As expected of Theresa, yes, these are Lord Bishop's instructions to Rita. He will reveal information about Raiden Mei." After speaking, Rita took out her phone.
After placing the phone on the dining table, a figure slowly projected from it.
Looking at the figure, Theresa's eyes widened.
"Grandfather?!"
"Lord Bishop." Himeko and Rita bowed to the projection.
"Alright, my Valkyries, now I will tell you some things about Raiden Mei, and wouldn't it be more authoritative if I were the one to speak?"
The person projected by the phone was none other than the Grand Lord Bishop of Schicksal, Otto Apocalypse.
"Grandfather, what are you planning to do again? You said that in the Far East, I would make my own decisions." Theresa said loudly.
"Oh, it seems Theresa still hasn't forgiven grandfather." Otto said with a smile.
Theresa looked at her grandfather. She didn't know what to say, whether to hate or to love.
"For now, listen to what your grandfather has to say."
"Regarding Raiden Mei's identity as the third herrscher, it traces back to the end of the Second Eruption."
"After the Second Herrscher died, six Herrscher gems were left behind."
"Among them, the Herrscher of Reason's gem originally belonged to Anti-Entropy, so it was returned."
"Of the remaining five gems, the Herrscher of Thunder's gem of Conquest belongs to Anti-Entropy."
"Raiden Mei has the gem of Conquest on her. Then, during the Third Honkai Eruption, after the gem was activated, Raiden Mei became the third herrscher."
"gem of Conquest..." Mei mumbled softly.
"Why is that so-called gem on Mei?!" Kiana stood directly in front of the projection and asked.
"Kiana!" Himeko quickly pulled Kiana aside. "I'm very sorry, Lord Bishop, she is my student and a bit reckless."
"It's fine. Regarding the gem on Raiden Mei, according to Schicksal's intelligence, Raiden Ryoma paid a great price to obtain the gem of Conquest from someone in order to save his daughter, Raiden Mei, and then implanted it into Raiden Mei's body to sustain her life."
"Are there any other questions?" Otto's projection looked at Kiana behind Himeko.
Kiana originally wanted to ask something else, but Himeko directly covered Kiana's mouth with her hand, preventing her from speaking further.
"No more questions, Lord Bishop." Himeko said.
"Then Theresa, do you have any other questions?" Otto looked at Theresa.
"No." Theresa shook her head.
"Then, all Valkyries, do you have any other questions?" Otto looked at the others, and after surveying the room, Otto finally looked at Theresa.
"Theresa, when will you come back to see grandfather? Grandfather misses you very much."
"When I have time." Theresa turned her head away, not looking at Otto.
"Then grandfather is very much looking forward to it. Grandfather has prepared a gift for little Theresa, you know." After Otto finished speaking, the projection slowly disappeared.
After the projection disappeared, Himeko breathed a sigh of relief, then released Kiana.
"Sister Himeko! Why did you cover my mouth and stop me from speaking?!" Kiana said angrily.
"That was the Grand Lord Bishop." Himeko said.
"So what if he's the Grand Lord Bishop? He said I could ask other questions!" Kiana said defiantly.
"Kiana, stop messing around. You don't know how terrifying my grandfather is." Theresa sighed.
"But I just wanted to ask him where my dad is." Kiana looked at Theresa and said.
"Kiana, do you remember the promise I made to you?"
"I remember. You said that when I become an A-rank Valkyrie, you'll tell me where my dad is." Kiana said.
"That's right. When you become an A-rank Valkyrie, I will tell you. Not telling you the location so early is because I'm afraid you'll take risks." Theresa said seriously.
"So, does that mean my dad is in a very dangerous place right now?"
"Yes." Although Theresa didn't know where Kiana had imagined, since she had said so, Theresa didn't need to think of an excuse.
"Alright, then I'll definitely work hard!" Kiana suddenly became fired up.
Then Kiana went to Mei's side.
"Mei, Mei, now you don't have to worry anymore, do you? The Third Honkai Eruption wasn't caused by you!" Kiana said happily.
"Mm." Mei said with a smile. It seemed a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.
"Sister Elysia didn't lie to us back then, she said Mei was a kind and lovely child!" Kiana suddenly remembered this sentence for some reason.
"Mm, Sister Elysia, she's really gentle." Mei remembered Elysia, who had comforted her the first time they met.
Hearing Kiana's words, the reactions of the others present were not so good.
"Then how did Miss Elysia know?" Rita asked directly, as part of her mission was to observe and investigate Elysia.
"As for Elysia, she was probably comforting Mei at the time." Himeko said.
"Elysia comforted Mei?" Theresa rubbed her head.
"Mm, you had to deal with some matters and hadn't returned then. When Elysia first met them, Mei cried a lot in Elysia's embrace." Himeko smiled as she looked at Mei.
Knowing that Mei was not the culprit behind the Third Honkai Eruption, Himeko also relaxed a bit.
"Sister Himeko." Mei's face immediately turned red. After all, crying a lot in someone else's embrace the first time they met was very embarrassing to think about now.
"Is that so? Actually, Elysia's intuition also played a role in the investigation of Nagazora City." Theresa nodded.
"So Elysia's intuition is really exceptionally accurate." Himeko sighed.
Rita also summarized the evaluations of Elysia from everyone present except Bronya.
Very gentle, exceptionally accurate intuition.
