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

Agatha bit her red lips, hesitant.

Nina, clad in a silver-white metallic coat, strolled through the blazing flames.

The flames would often be shredded by the silver threads before they even got close to Nina, turning into small clumps of fire that posed no threat to her.

Throughout, Nina paid no attention to Agatha and Galina's little tricks, and didn't even try to snatch the Herrscher Core floating in Agatha's palm.

When both Herrscher cores are gathered in the same Herrscher body, it is actually more suitable for Nina to retrieve the Herrscher cores.

At the very least, if Agatha and Galina escape separately, Nina can only recover one Herrscher core at most.

As the distance between Nina and Agatha continued to shrink, Agatha finally made up his mind, grasped Galina's Herrscher core, and merged it into his own body.

In that instant, Galina's Herrscher of Death powers vanished and were transferred entirely to Agatha's body.

It's fair to say that Galina has now reverted to a frail human, no longer the near-immortal Herrscher of Death.

Upon seeing this, Nina's lips curled into a slight smile, and then one of the silver threads beside her shot out, as if transforming into a "sword aura" that pierced through the heavens and earth, carrying the majestic power of the heavens, and rushed towards Agata.

Having acquired the powers of the Herrscher of Death, Agatha only ensured that his heart, Herrscher core, and head would not be hit by the silver lines, completely disregarding injuries to other parts of his body.

—The power of the Herrscher of Death automatically heals bodily injuries.

Little did Nina know that her actions were merely to attract Agatha's attention; her true target was Galina, who had lost her Herrscher of Death powers.

Galina had just moved away from the center of the battle and hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath when a metal spike suddenly shot out from the ground at an angle, piercing through her abdomen.

The metal spikes were driven upwards, making it impossible for Galina to break free on her own, and she could only let the metal spikes continue to pierce through her body.

Even after the metal spike pierced Galina's body, numerous tiny spikes emerged, causing Galina immense pain.

"Well……"

Galina remained strong, only letting out a muffled groan without uttering a painful cry.

That is why Agatha knew nothing about Galina's situation.

……

Changkong City.

After the arrival of the Fifth Herrscher, Aurora felt uneasy and restless.

Although she could vaguely sense the Herrscher reactions of the Fifth Herrscher, Agatha, and Galina, she couldn't know the exact details.

"Agatha and Galina should be alright, right? After all, they're just the 'Herrscher of Ice.' Even if their strength isn't as great as the 'Herrscher of Ice,' Agatha and Galina should be able to protect themselves."

Aurora comforted herself in this way.

Unfortunately, she still felt restless.

After much deliberation, Aurora decided to sneak a peek at Qiu Bi and Eden to divert her attention.

Even though she had greatly facilitated the relationship between Qiu Bi and Eden today, Qiu Bi and Eden did not develop a close relationship, which greatly disappointed Aurora.

However, Aurora was not discouraged. Eden's willingness to share a room with Qiu Bi proved that Eden had a strong liking for Qiu Bi.

With just a little guidance or encouragement, the two will naturally develop into a romantic relationship.

What should I plan for tomorrow?

Aurora sat on the edge of the building's rooftop, her jade-like feet dangling in the air, her gaze fixed on the hotel room where Qiu Bi and Eden were staying.

At this moment, Qiu Bi and Eden seem to be chatting casually, and it's clear that the atmosphere between them is very relaxed.

Before Aurora could figure it out, she seemed to sense something and quickly took out her phone.

Aurora saw Galina's distress message at first glance, and her expression changed drastically. She even lost control of her emotions, causing a blue gale to erupt around her.

Galina briefly recounted her and Agatha's experiences, revealing to Aurora that the Fifth Herrscher was the "Herrscher of Metal," and that Agatha and Galina's lives were in danger.

"Fifth Herrscher... If anything happens to Agatha and Galina, I will make you pay with your life!"

Aurora gritted her teeth, then transformed into a streak of blue light, flashing and moving across the night sky, rapidly heading towards Paris, France.

Qiu Bi and Eden noticed Aurora's departure and both looked out the window at the same time.

"Did something happen?"

Eden picked up his wine glass and took a small sip of the mellow red wine.

Qiu Bi got up and walked to the window, gazing at the blue light that Aurora had transformed into.

“I’m not quite sure. Neither Aurora nor Agatha told me anything, but…” Qiu Bi frowned, sensing the surroundings, then muttered to himself in confusion, “It seems like a new Herrscher has arrived?”

"The Fifth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Ice."

Eden seemed very confident, speaking in a calm yet certain tone.

Chapter 262 Raven

For some reason, Qiu Bi had a bad feeling.

Eden seemed to sense Qiu Bi's mood, and slowly walked to Qiu Bi's side, whispering, "Why don't we go and see what's going on?"

"But……"

"You don't need to care too much about my feelings."

Eden knew perfectly well what Qiu Bi was worried about; it was simply that she needed to accompany her to understand the current generation.

"Or rather, observing the Honkai Wars of the present generation up close is also a way for me to understand the present generation."

"Well... okay then."

Since Eden had already gone this far, Qiu Bi could no longer refuse.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but ask, "Eden, can you fly?"

"No, most heroes can't fly."

"Then I'm sorry."

Qiu Bi swept Eden up in his arms and carried him out of the hotel room in a princess carry.

Eden showed no resistance whatsoever, letting Qiu Bi pick him up while he downed the glass of red wine in one gulp. Before Qiu Bi could fly away, he threw the glass onto the bed.

The night breeze was slightly cool, but it did not affect Qiu Bi and Eden.

While Qiu Bi flew using the power of the Wind Herald, he also made sure to disperse the nearby winds so as not to mess up Eden's hairstyle.

Eden noticed Qiu Bi's subtle movements and couldn't help but smile gently as she quietly lay in Qiu Bi's arms.

"Qiu Bi, are you the 'Herrscher of Wind'?"

"No, the true Herrscher of the Wind is someone else; I am merely the one who possesses the core of the Herrscher of the Wind."

"What do you mean? There are two Herrschers of the Wind in the current generation?"

"To be precise, they should be four Wind Heralds."

Besides Wendy, the true "Herrscher of the Wind," Aurora is also a "Herrscher of the Wind," and Qiu Bi and Sirin also possess the core of the Herrscher of the Wind.

Upon hearing Qiu Bi's explanation, Eden suddenly understood.

"I see. So you must possess more than just the core of the Herrscher of Wind, right?"

"In addition to the core of the Herrscher of Wind, I also possess the cores of the Herrscher of Flame and the Herrscher of Knowledge."

"Is there no limit to your abilities?"

"No, at least not yet, we haven't hit the limit."

With enough imagination, Qiu Bi's "contract" ability can accomplish anything.

Although Qiu Bi himself is not omnipotent, his "contract" ability is omnipotent.

Qiu Bi answered all of Eden's questions and doubts in great detail, without any intention of concealing anything.

Since it's not an important matter anyway, it's better to honestly tell Eden and thus win his favor.

……

Tianming Airport.

Because the Herrscher's arrival was so sudden, the Human Alliance could only hastily organize the Valkyrie squad to assemble.

Unfortunately, some Valkyries have not yet returned to Schicksal Airport, resulting in the Valkyrie force being about one-fifth smaller than expected.

"Bishop Otto, when can we depart?"

Maria looked somewhat agitated as she paced back and forth in Otto's office.

Otto put down his teacup, his expression calm and indifferent.

“Maria, I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush—Anti-Entropy is assembling Titan forces, and World Serpent is ready to join the war.”

"But the Herrscher has already descended. We must deal with the Herrscher as soon as possible, otherwise there will be even greater casualties."

"No matter when the Valkyrie troops set off, Paris is destined to be destroyed by the Honkai War."

“Bishop Otto, that’s not what I’m worried about.”

"Are you worried about Agatha and Galina?"

Otto instantly guessed Maria's true concern, then chuckled and reassured her, "Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, the Fifth Herrscher should be the 'Herrscher of Ice,' which happens to be countered by Agatha's Herrscher powers."

"What if something unexpected happens?"

"..."

Otto fell silent.

If something unexpected happens, it means that the Herrscher who descended this time is not the "Herrscher of Ice".

What may seem like a small change actually carries extraordinary implications.

First, this could very likely lead to Agatha and Galina's utter ruin; second, after this Honkai War, the experiences of previous civilizations will lose their original effectiveness and can only be used as a reference.

“I will urge Anti-Entropy to assemble the Titan forces as soon as possible. Maria, you return to the Hyperion and be ready to depart at any time.”

"Hurry up."

sound off.

Maria left Otto's office quickly without hesitation.
