I, a planetary-level Honkai Beast, love only Valkyries.

Page 21

Xingyue's lips curled up, and in the instant she turned her head, she deliberately flicked the necklace in her hand.

"That is?"

Sure enough, the moment Anna saw the token of their love, her face turned ugly.

"How...how did you get this?"

What did you do to Chen Tianwu?

Anna lost control of her emotions and, disregarding the threat posed by the Herrscher of the Sea, or rather, the planetary-level Honkai Beast, questioned her.

"What's wrong?"

Xingyue shook the object in her hand, her expression quite relaxed.

"Sorry, this is just one of my spoils. As for where I got it from, I don't remember."

"Give it back to me."

Anna pulled out her scythe and charged forward without hesitation.

He poured out all the knowledge he had acquired in his life, unleashing the remaining energy within his body.

Behind the stars and moon, the scythe transformed into countless phantoms, attacking from all directions.

However, the next moment, a sound like metal clashing together brought Anna to her senses.

The girl with spiky hair didn't even turn around; she simply reached behind her back, extended her index finger, and gently hooked it, tightly clamping the incoming scythe.

At that moment, Anna trembled all over; she felt immense pressure.

But when she saw the necklace, she suppressed her fear and shouted.

He abandoned the scythe that the girl had easily caught, and took out another scythe from behind his back and swung it out.

Xingyue did not turn around, but simply flicked her finger at the other scythe that came at her again.

Anna was sent flying backwards, knife and all, crashing into a large section of wall before being buried in the rubble.

Soon, the rubble of the ruins shifted, and Anna rose again to launch an attack on Star and Moon.

This time, Xingyue finally turned around, extending her long, slender little fingernail, which sparked a dazzling display of light against Anna's scythe.

As Anna stepped forward again, Xingyue struck first, her sharp nails reaching for Anna's pale neck.

A bead of cold sweat dripped from Anna's smooth chin onto the back of the young woman's hand.

Anna froze in mid-air, too afraid to move.

She had no doubt that the other party could sever her carotid artery with just a light touch.

"Give up! That knife you wield only out of a sense of responsibility."

"That kind of thing can't touch me."

Seeing the extreme fear on the other person's face, Xingyue withdrew her hand, appearing completely unsuspecting, and turned her back to Anna.

In Anna's view, this was a sign that she was absolutely certain that he posed no threat to her.

"A fighting spirit without hatred is like a wingless eagle; it can't protect anything."

"Can't protect anything?"

These words pierced the chestnut-haired girl's heart like a sharp arrow.

This made her recall everything she was experiencing now.

She could protect nothing anymore.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this is a token from the person you made a promise with, isn't it?"

Xingyue picked up the necklace and waved it a few times in front of Anna.

"The reason why your hatred for me is not deep enough is because your love for that person is not deep enough, or rather, what happened between you was just a farce."

"Or……"

Xingyue curled her lips and continued her brainwashing.

"Losing this token is just a relief for you. You're only wielding your sword against me because of the lost sense of responsibility."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Two People in Despair

In the void, there was a cracking sound.

The already unstable relationship between the two has now developed cracks, and these cracks show signs of continuing to spread.

Seeing Anna lost in this state, Xingyue licked her lips and left contentedly.

Only the chestnut-haired girl remained, stunned in place, clutching her sickle, her eyes vacant, looking utterly bewildered.

It wasn't until much later, when a helicopter arrived above her, lowered a rope, and several medical Valkyries came down to examine her injuries, that she belatedly realized what had happened.

"A-rank Valkyrie, Anna Schariac, are you sure you haven't suffered any other injuries?"

"Oh, um."

Anna lifted her disheveled face and responded to the Valkyrie in front of her.

"But I have more important news to report to the bishop and the higher-ups."

The two Valkyries exchanged a glance.

A-rank Valkyries do indeed have the authority to directly contact the higher-ups at headquarters.

Anna boarded the helicopter with them and flew to the headquarters of Destiny, where they changed warships en route.

After all, helicopters cannot fly to the height of the floating islands, and warships are not suitable to appear in the sight of people in the world, as that would cause panic.

Therefore, the Valkyries usually use helicopters or airplanes when they go into battle. Only the more powerful Valkyries can jump directly from the warship without switching to a helicopter.

Anna pondered what had just happened in the helicopter.

What do you mean she doesn't have deep feelings for Chen Tianwu anymore? What do you mean she didn't feel extreme anger when the necklace was in the hands of that guy who calls himself the Herrscher of the Sea?

Anna tried her best to deny her previous thoughts, but because there were indeed some truths in them that she didn't want to admit, Anna's thinking became confused.

If we can find that necklace, we can pretend none of this ever happened.

Anna suppressed her wandering thoughts and tried to comfort herself.

With the help of destiny, she definitely has a chance to succeed. Surely the bishops wouldn't ignore a Herrscher?

With that in mind, Anna disregarded her injuries and rushed to the headquarters command center after arriving at the floating island.

"Report."

"Come in."

A man's emotionless voice came from inside the door. Anna felt a little nervous, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.

Anna looked at the imposing man before her with unwavering determination.

"Your Excellency, while I was fighting Honkai Beasts in XX City, I encountered a girl who called herself the Herrscher of the Sea."

"I implore Your Excellency to immediately launch a campaign against her."

Anna was certain that even if Destiny attacked it, the Herrscher of the Sea could handle it for a while, but it definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.

She's an A-level elite, definitely on the front lines. We'll find an opportunity to threaten her into providing an escape route and then get the necklace back.

Anna had already started making her own plans.

The main reason was that Xingyue had saved her life. If it weren't for the necklace, such a precious item, she wouldn't have been willing to take such a risk.

One was a life-saving grace, the other was her lover, which really put her in a dilemma.

However, the next moment, she stopped hesitating, because, quite unexpectedly, the bishop of Destiny shook his head and rejected the idea outright after hearing the word "Herrscher".

"Anna Shaniat, this matter is much more complicated than you think. You may leave now!"

"But……"

Anna wanted to go forward and say something more, but Amber stopped her with her arm.

“Miss Anna, please obey His Holiness the Bishop’s orders.”

Upon hearing this, Anna could only glance at Otto before retreating with her questions and anxieties swirling in her mind.

After Anna left, Amber turned around and nodded to Otto.

"Your Excellency, what is your opinion?"

Otto paused for a few seconds, picked up the red wine on the table, took a sip, and gently swirled the red liquid inside.

"From now on, as long as the matter of the Herrscher of the Sea doesn't involve Schicksal's key interests, let's just pretend we didn't see it."

"With our current strength, we are not capable of defeating them."

Otto was well aware of this. If he angered her and she really destroyed the Schicksal headquarters, then he could forget about carrying out his next plan.

Of course, if some foolish guy were to provoke her, she wouldn't mind watching the show.

but……

Otto frowned slightly, recalling Anna's expression when he made his veto decision, and felt that something was amiss.

“Amber, send some miniature robots to monitor Anna Shaniat 24/7.”

The face beneath the amber mask paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and said solemnly.

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

·.....

Meanwhile, after discovering that his most precious necklace was missing, Owl did not choose to tell Anna, but instead decided to take it back by his own means.

First, we need to gather intelligence and leverage the power of the World Serpent. After all, this organization is very much like a mercenary group; as long as he spends a little money, someone will help him.

He knew very well that he couldn't fight against the girl with the frilly hair on his own.

Upon returning to the World Serpent, he drew the image of the stars and moon from memory and submitted it to the Gray Serpent, requesting his help in searching for information.

After taking the picture, Gray Snake glanced at it only once, and his hand trembled involuntarily. Then, his scarlet eyes flashed.

What do you want with her?

"You don't need to worry about that, Gray Serpent. I'll pay the funds."

Gray Snake looked at the picture, then glanced at Night Owl, and sighed deeply.

"Although I don't know why you're looking for her, as a colleague, I still want to kindly remind you not to cause her any trouble, at least not until the Lord comes out."

As he spoke, the gray snake patted the little girl next to him, who then printed out a piece of paper containing information about the stars and moon known to the World Serpent.

Night Owl took the paper, but the moment he began to read it, his expression became incredibly interesting.

"Star Moon, a planetary-level Honkai Beast who calls herself the Herrscher of the Sea, possesses the ability to control a large number of Honkai Beasts for her own use. She once single-handedly defeated the combined forces of the Schicksal and Anti-Entropy organizations..."

The document in his hand fell silently to the ground.

The man stood frozen in place.

Despair, boundless despair enveloped the night owl.

Chapter 30: If you're going to recognize a treasure, stop deceiving yourself.

Both Night Owl and Anna fell into a state of depression.

Anna began to doubt her own feelings for Night Owl. Was it love, or guilt?

Night Owl, on the other hand, planned to go to the island alone after making thorough preparations. Regardless of whether it was feasible or not, he was unwilling to hand over the token between the two of them to someone else.

.·.

Unlike the two of them who were in a daze, Xingyue looked refreshed and energetic after returning to the island.

The next step is to wait for the right opportunity, to wait for someone who might come knocking on your door.

She glanced at the unconscious Herrscher of Knowledge at her feet, sighed softly, and entered the Herrscher of Knowledge's illusion.

When Xingyue opened her eyes again, she looked around and saw a lush meadow beneath her feet. In the distance, she could see rows of houses in the Chinese architectural style.

Houses made of celadon tiles and bricks, and roads paved with pebbles.
