The recycling process was somewhat tedious—fortunately, Rita appeared during this process.
"What is Lady Durandal thinking?"
"..." When asked this question, Durandal was naturally a little embarrassed to answer—should she say that she saw a girl who caught her eye during her trip that morning, and now she was very concerned about her and wanted to go find her?
This doesn't fit my personality at all.
However, Rita knew Durandal quite well and could tell at a glance that Durandal was preoccupied and didn't want to stay put, so she took the initiative to say:
"If Lady Durandal has anything she wishes to do, she may leave for the time being. Rita will take charge here."
"May I?"
Silly Goose hesitated; she wasn't the type to prioritize personal matters over public duty.
The maid smiled and said, "It's alright. It's just retrieving the Divine Key. Rita can handle it all by herself. Besides, Rita's mission is to investigate the Second Divine Key."
"It's Lady Durandal's vacation right now, isn't it? Even though it's a sudden change, it's easy to have regrets if you don't do anything you want to do," Sister Tako kindly advised the goose.
"OK then."
The silly goose glanced at the 'sphere' in the sky that was being unsealed and thought that it was just a matter of retrieving a Divine Key and there wouldn't be any trouble. With Rita's abilities, it would be a piece of cake to handle such a small matter.
And so, both sides were satisfied—Rita watched the goose disappear into the distance, then turned her gaze to the imaginary space barrier.
Perhaps because he had used the Thousand Realms One Vehicle once before, Su specially added a new protective layer when he put it back. This made the defense, which was originally so fragile, much thicker. Because he was worried that it might damage the Thousand Realms One Vehicle, he could not use brute force. He could only use special instruments to slowly decode and crack the protective layer, which made the originally easy task quite long.
But what Sister Tazi has in abundance is patience.
This is a required course for maids.
That being said—for some reason, ever since the goose left, Rita felt her eyebrows twitching... She figured it was her right eye. She'd heard a saying in China that a twitching left eye means good fortune, while a twitching right eye means bad luck... A strange sense of unease crept into her heart, but after thinking about it, Rita smiled and dismissed it. What's so funny about these superstitious beliefs?
I'm just retrieving a Divine Key and getting something; I can't possibly encounter any danger, right?
Could it be that a Herrscher might suddenly pop out from there?
The instruments could not detect any Honkai energy reaction from the Herrscher.
Thinking this, and watching the space protection layer grow thinner and thinner, Rita bit her lip.
soon--
The protective layer was completely breached, and the second Divine Key within it was revealed, much to the astonishment of Sister Ta. It was the first time she had ever seen such a massive Divine Key... it was actually a locomotive.
Wait! There seems to be another guard over there.
Rita looked closely and saw a three-headed chibi figure with white hair, holding a fire sword that looked like a toy.
The moment she saw the other person, Sister Ta laughed.
Hilarious! There's even a little figure holding a toy here!
Ps:
"Ryoumen Sukuna? The strongest sorcerer in history? He is just a mortal who was born in an era without me."
Lin Qi stood opposite Liangmian Sukuna and looked at him with amusement.
"The one on my left hand, Koyukishita, is a master of multiple techniques, and can use the Ten Shadow Technique with ease. The one on my right hand, Daiyukishita, has awakened a unique modern technique, and his talent is not inferior to mine. And the slashing technique is just our normal attack."
"Let me ask you how the Fifteen Ibusuki Nuo will respond?"
Ryoumen Sukuna was dazed as he looked at the black-haired young man in front of him whose cursed power was exactly the same as his own.
Chapter 202 Help! My sister is so assertive!
When Rita discovered the presence of a 'guardian' around the Divine Key, she was undoubtedly nervous—but when she realized that the so-called 'guardian' was just a tiny creature, the maid instantly displayed the essence of Talking Tom, letting out a sigh of relief.
Sigh, it's just a little guy, what's there to be afraid of?
Rita felt relieved, but also a little ashamed. Perhaps it was because she had lost too many times recently, which made her a little flustered when she encountered an enemy. But—Rita, I am the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny!
I'm very strong!
Thinking this, Rita gradually regained her confidence and smiled confidently as she looked at the small, white-haired figure carrying a flaming greatsword that looked like a toy.
Let this battle be Rita's first victory in her resurgence! Don't blame me for bullying the weak!
"Lady Rita, will we win?"
When Alvita, who was also on the mission, saw Rita wielding a scythe, she became quite worried.
“You will win.”
Overflowing with confidence, Rita said this, then charged towards the short man with her scythe in hand.
The reason she lost before was simply because of poor compatibility. As a typical S-rank Valkyrie specializing in attacking people, she either encountered the Herrscher of Wind, who was difficult to get close to, or the Herrscher of Ice, who was able to get close but not completely and had excessive resistance, or she encountered beings who were more agile than herself and completely untouchable. This little guy in front of her clearly did not fit into any of the above categories!
Although small size can be associated with agility, Kelita didn't believe that this little guy could outrun her in speed like Alicia had before. The weapon in his hand was a greatsword, and although it looked like a toy, it was impossible to be fast when using such a heavy weapon.
As for resistance, it doesn't seem to be an ice-type being like itself at all—or rather, even if it is ice-type, so what? Rita lost to the Herrscher of Ice because she is the pinnacle of ice-type. How could you, a little guy who doesn't even have much Honkai energy reaction, possibly compare to the Herrscher of Ice?
Close-range contact, not agility-based... considering that greatsword is likely fire-based... oh dear, isn't this exactly walking right into Rita's line of fire?
That's absolute restraint!
Rita, outwardly cautious but inwardly beaming with joy, raised her scythe and brought it down on the little man—who remained motionless, and the maid's smile deepened.
Oh dear, I'm so slow~ But there's nothing I can do about it, after all, Rita is incredibly fast!
Finally, the little figure that was a beat slow to react—the armed puppet modeled after Kevin—glanced at Rita with its tiny blue eyes, and then raised the replica of the Skyfire Greatsword in its hand and swung it.
This gesture made Rita extremely happy.
Well, that's exactly what I was waiting for!
As a nimble Valkyrie who targets humanoids, her greatest skill lies in using various feints and extremely exaggerated movements to confuse and deceive her opponents, and then suddenly change tactics during this process!
The sickle is also a very special weapon because its unique shape allows for many unimaginable attack methods.
Block the greatsword, then slash straight down!
"Lady Rita! Do your best!"
The Valkyrie squad hiding behind them cheered and shouted when they saw this.
Meanwhile, Sister Tako, feeling somewhat smug and excited, was determined to win the battle in one fell swoop, thus proving her worth as an S-class Valkyrie.
however--
The moment the scythe touched the Skyfire Greatsword, Rita's smile froze.
'boom--! ’
An extremely terrifying force sent it flying, causing it to crash into and collapse countless buildings.
And along this path, all that remains are the dark marks left by the scorching flames.
"Eh--?"
The Valkyries, who were acting as cheerleaders, were stunned by what they saw.
What happened?
Shouldn't the real script be 'Lady Rita bravely defeats this little guy' and then returns in triumph?
The tiny Skyfire glanced at the Valkyries—when their eyes met those somewhat adorable little eyes, the Valkyries were silent for a moment, then ran away in perfect unison.
The former, holding the Heavenly Fire, stared expressionlessly in the direction where Sister Tazi had been sent flying.
—As an armed puppet created based on Kevin, although it does not possess Kevin's chimera genes or even the ice boar genes, in terms of pure strength, the Skyfire Armed Puppet is undoubtedly the pinnacle of armed puppet technology since its inception. With its sheer raw power, it surpasses most S-class Valkyries. Even the 'Strongest S-class Valkyrie of Destiny' who wields the Divine Key would find it difficult to easily defeat this seemingly small individual.
The replica of the Heavenly Flame he held, due to the use of cutting-edge technology, possessed power equivalent to the Heavenly Flame itself, except that it did not have the Herrscher core to use its rated power like the real Heavenly Flame.
Kevin's most proficient fighting style is to break through with force, and the same applies to his Heavenly Fire, which is modeled after it. He has put this into practice to the extreme.
Rita, whose house had been destroyed and who was lying against the wall, was lying among the bricks and stones, staring at the little doll with her eyes slightly open in disbelief.
If it weren't for the Godslayer Armor's terrifying defensive capabilities, and her all-out defense honed by past battles at the moment of impact, she might have been pulverized by that attack.
Even so, Rita could feel that even under the protection of the armor, many of her bones were broken, causing her pain and making it difficult for her to move.
While agile and speed-type fighters do indeed counter power-type fighters—after all, if you can't land a move, everything else is meaningless—for ultimate power-type fighters, they often only need one move to end a fight.
But Sister Tako seemed to have underestimated the destructive power hidden within that small body—a 'terror' that even Durandal herself had to exert all her strength to deal with.
Without a doubt, the maid has failed again, and the failure is even greater than the previous two – at least when facing a Herrscher, she could put up a fight before being defeated, but this time, she was instantly killed with a single strike.
"puff..."
The maid, who had just coughed up a mouthful of blood, was filled with regret. "Kurushi, how did I run into another monster? And this one is even more monstrous than the ones I've encountered before... Is it really that difficult for Rita to turn the tables on me?"
Rita, you can't rise again!
While Rita's comeback seems to have encountered some minor setbacks, the Silly Goose is exploring the city streets.
The outbreak of the Honkai has plunged this century-old city into chaos. Fortunately, because it is located in Europe and is within the core sphere of influence of Schicksal, the support from headquarters is extremely fast. The Valkyrie forces quickly intervened in the battlefield and completed the evacuation of most of the people. Currently, most of the people are being housed in the safe zone of Schicksal's planning department.
She had hoped to see the white-haired girl there, but unfortunately, according to the Valkyrie stationed there, although there were indeed many white-haired girls, the one that the silly goose described as wanting to see did not exist.
Then there is only one possibility—the girl is still in London, belonging to the crowd that did not have time to evacuate.
The thought of the other person possibly encountering misfortune or huddled in some corner made the goose somewhat worried.
"boom--"
