You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

Seven days have passed since Anna received the reply from the Human Alliance, but she still hasn't seen any S-class Valkyries.

"...Should we contact headquarters or not?"

Anna hesitated.

Without the support of an S-rank Valkyrie or other Valkyrie squad, Anna's Snow Lotus squad would likely be unable to defend the Coral Island area.

After a moment, Anna finally decided to contact headquarters to inquire about the specific movements of the S-class Valkyries.

Before Anna could even contact headquarters, there was a loud knocking on the door.

"Captain! Something terrible has happened! Traces of Honkai Cult activity have been discovered in the city—they are spreading the Honkai Selection Theory!"

"Huh? What is the Honkai Filtering Theory?"

Although she knew the situation was urgent, Anna really didn't know what the so-called "Honkai Filtering Theory" was, since she had been stationed at the seaside recently and knew very little about what was happening in the city.

"Captain, there's no time to explain now. We need to hurry and suppress those Honkai Cult members. I'll explain the details to you on the way!"

Upon hearing this, Anna quickly pushed open the door and left, following the members of the Snow Lotus Squad.

Due to the recent frequent collapses, even though the local government tried to cover it up, many people noticed that something was wrong.

Among them, a few people claimed to be guided by "God" and created the so-called "Honkai Cult" and promoted the "Honkai Selection Theory".

The theory mainly explains that the recent frequent collapse events are the "God" selecting and eliminating "those who are eliminated". Only by having a firm belief in "God" can one get rid of the so-called "selection" and even have incredible power.

In fact, this theory is not unfounded, at least the second half of the statement is not unfounded.

The members of the Snow Lotus Squad witnessed a member of the Honkai Cult controlling Honkai Beasts during a Honkai incident.

It was precisely because of their incredible abilities that the Honkai Cult, like a plague, gathered a large number of ignorant ordinary people before the Snow Lotus Squad could react.

Or, to put it another way, this group of ordinary people is not ignorant; in fact, they can be said to be quite wise.

After all, given the frequent threat of Honkai events, joining the Honkai Cult for protection is the wisest choice.

"The Honkai Cult..."

For some reason, Anna always felt that the Honkai Cult was plotting something big, and that expanding the number of believers was likely just a smokescreen to cover up their true purpose.

However, considering that the members of the Honkai Cult are just ordinary humans, even if they can control Honkai Beasts, it is easy to deal with.

Once the person controlling the Honkai Beasts is dealt with, the threat posed by the Honkai Beasts will be greatly reduced.

Ordinary humans are no match for Honkai Beasts in terms of physical strength. They can hardly withstand even the attacks of C-rank Valkyries, let alone the attacks of B-rank or even A-rank Valkyries.

Chapter 292 Two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts

Coral Island, Coral Plaza.

The makeshift booth trembled and groaned, as if it would fall apart at any moment.

Ignorant citizens gathered around the booth, waving their fists with fanatical expressions and shouting incomprehensible slogans.

On the exhibition stand, three rush-class Honkai Beasts flew around a middle-aged man, like obedient pets.

"Follow God's will and bring miracles to the world!"

The middle-aged man shouted loudly, which immediately drew a large number of believers to join in.

His ability to control Honkai Beasts alone is the best advertisement, requiring no further verbal promotion.

As the public's voices grew louder, it attracted a large number of onlookers who were unaware of the significance of the event.

Without any deliberate promotion from members of the Honkai Cult, the fanatical followers will spontaneously spread the Honkai Cult and draw onlookers into its ranks.

It can be said that the speed at which the Honkai Cult spreads is even more terrifying than "brainwashing," and its subsequent impact will extend to the friends and family of its fanatical followers.

If left unchecked, the Honkai Cult will inevitably cause great turmoil.

The members of the Snow Lotus Squad blended into the surrounding crowd, casually dealing with the fanatical believers while whispering their strategies.

"What do we do now?"

"I don't know, but if we let them continue to develop, the entire Coral Island might become the stronghold of the Honkai Cult."

"Has the captain not arrived yet?"

"I've already informed the captain; they should be here soon."

"So...we continue to stand by?"

"It can only be this way……"

As they whispered among themselves, the surrounding noise suddenly subsided, causing the four Valkyries to fall silent and look around in confusion.

At some point, the fanatical believers in the vicinity began to fix their gazes on them, and even deliberately kept their distance from the four of them.

"God will inflict the most severe punishment on 'heretics'!"

The middle-aged man raised his arms and shouted, and the rushing-class Honkai Beasts flying around him suddenly rushed out like cannonballs, swooping down towards the four Valkyries.

Upon seeing this, the four Valkyries' expressions changed drastically. Without hesitation, they retreated to dodge the impact of the three charge-class Honkai Beasts.

The next second, they retaliated and killed the three rush-class Honkai Beasts on the spot.

As battle-hardened B-rank Valkyries, they may not be able to deal with high-rank Honkai Beasts, but they are more than capable of dealing with low-rank Honkai Beasts like the Rush-class Honkai Beasts.

"There's no time to wait for the captain, let's get started!"

sound off.

The four Valkyries stomped the ground, stepping over numerous fanatical followers, their target the middle-aged man on the stage.

The middle-aged man showed no fear or panic whatsoever; instead, he gave a mocking smile.

Before the four Valkyries could even reach the stage, several arms reached out from the crowd, precisely grabbed their ankles, and pulled them off.

"W-Watch out!"

The Valkyrie let out a cry of surprise, and was then pinned down by a group of fanatical followers.

However, the physique of a B-rank Valkyrie is far beyond what ordinary humans can contend with, and even numbers cannot bridge this gap.

The Valkyrie effortlessly broke free from the fanatical followers' control, and then cleared the area around her with a whip kick.

When fanatical followers attack the Valkyrie, the Valkyrie can no longer protect them.

According to the Valkyrie Code, once a Valkyrie is attacked by another human, she can launch a counterattack at will and no longer need to protect that human.

The Valkyrie did not kill the fanatical follower who attacked her; she merely knocked him back about a meter before charging at the middle-aged man on the platform again.

Based on the current situation, the middle-aged man on the booth must be a high-ranking figure in the Honkai Cult, or at the very least a "small leader." He must be captured alive and then interrogated severely about matters concerning the Honkai Cult.

The other three Valkyries did similar things: they all chose to temporarily repel the fanatical believers around them, and then launched another attack on the middle-aged man.

The onlookers nearby had already fled the plaza when the Rush-class Honkai Beast attacked the four Valkyries.

Faced with the potential danger to their lives, no one wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold.

boom!

A violent roar suddenly erupted, and four beautiful figures were sent flying backward, crashing violently into nearby houses.

"cough……"

A Valkyrie pushed aside the collapsed wall, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and stared in disbelief at the direction of the exhibition stand.

"How can it be……"

"How can he control an Emperor-class Honkai Beast?!"

"and……"

"Two full-fledged Emperor-level Honkai Beasts..."

At this moment, two enormous figures appeared above the exhibition platform.

The gray-white exoskeleton formed wings that seemed to blot out the sun, blocking out all sunlight and protecting the booth and its surroundings.

It was a strange Honkai Beast that resembled both a bird and a human, its body covered with twisted patterns.

The two Emperor-class Honkai Beasts look almost identical, with only slight differences in the patterns covering their bodies and the color of the patterns.

The Emperor-class Honkai Beast on the left has orange-red markings, while the Emperor-class Honkai Beast on the right has purple markings.

"Ragel, execute the 'heretic' with fire!"

"Remiel, bring divine punishment upon the 'heretics'!"

The middle-aged man, with an indifferent expression, calmly pronounced the fates of the four Valkyries.

Emperor-class Honkai Beasts belong to the higher-rank Honkai Beasts. Even the weakest Emperor-class Honkai Beast is beyond the capabilities of four B-rank Valkyries, let alone two Emperor-class Honkai Beasts.

……

Meanwhile, Anna, who was on her way to Coral Square, also saw "Ragel" and "Remiel".

"That is……"

Anna rolled down the car window and peered out to carefully observe the two Honkai Beasts in the distance.

A few seconds later, as if she had thought of something, her expression changed drastically.

"An Emperor-class Honkai Beast?!"

"Why are there two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts here?!"

After exclaiming in surprise, Anna quickly urged the Valkyrie driving the vehicle beside her to speed up and get to Coral Plaza as soon as possible.

If there is only one Emperor-class Honkai Beast, then the four B-class Valkyries can still hold out for a while.

When faced with two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts, the four B-rank Valkyries all met the same fate—

Defeat!

"Captain, if you speed up any further, you'll be exceeding the speed limit!"

"Then speed!"

Anna answered without hesitation.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't display her extraordinary power in front of the general public, Anna would have even wanted to get out of the car and run to Coral Plaza as soon as possible to save the four B-rank Valkyries.

—An A-rank Valkyrie can run much faster than a vehicle traveling at full speed.
