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

“Miss Rita, please consider this my little whim—my lover won’t blame me or you.”

Bella smiled lightly, then casually unleashed a bolt of lightning, killing a rampaging Honkai Beast.

—This Honkai Beast's target is her and Rita.

Rita was silent for a moment, then nodded without a word.

Seeing this, Bella's smile brightened even more, and she continued to lead Rita to where Qiu Bi and the others were.

During this time, Bella also took the opportunity to kill any Honkai Beasts she encountered and stored their remains in her "personal space," waiting to hand them over to Delta later.

When Rita mustered the courage to ask Bella why she collected the corpses of Honkai Beasts, Bella smiled but remained silent and did not give a reply.

The situation concerning Delta is a "secret" and not something Rita should know.

Not only is it inappropriate for Rita to know, but most Valkyries are also not qualified to know about Delta's affairs.

It wasn't because Delta's identity was particularly important, but mainly to prevent Valkyries from imitating Delta and causing unnecessary casualties.

Delta is, after all, a rare exception, and cannot be replicated in other Valkyries.

Even the research institute of Destiny couldn't figure anything out at the time, and couldn't find the reason for Delta's change at all.

Therefore, the story of how Delta became what she is today has become a "secret," and only a few people and S-class Valkyries have the authority to access it.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Looking at the Temple-class Honkai Beast reduced to ashes, Qiu Bi belatedly realized that he had gone a bit too far.

A 30-meter-tall Temple-class Honkai Beast, if given to Delta to eat, could last at least two days.

"That's a bit of a waste..."

Qiu Bi felt deeply regretful.

Upon hearing this, Eden asked in confusion, "Does Qiu Bi intend to hand this Honkai Beast over to that girl?"

As a hero living in the paradise of the past, Eden was certainly aware of Delta's special nature.

The ability to grow stronger by constantly consuming Honkai Beasts is a unique physique that attracts the attention of all heroes.

If Alicia hadn't intervened, the hero who symbolized the "infinity" mark might have already appeared before Delta and tried to make her his "guinea pig."

"Yes, Delta's physique is very special, but she also has a great need for Honkai Beasts, and this need is gradually increasing as her strength grows."

Fortunately, Sirin can mass-produce Honkai Beasts, otherwise Qiu Bi really wouldn't be able to afford to raise Delta.

Although Sirin can only create Honkai Beasts that are about three or four meters tall, that's enough for Delta to fill her stomach. As for increasing her strength...

A Honkai Beast that's only three or four meters tall can no longer provide any improvement to Delta.

Even lower-rank Honkai Beasts exceeding thirty meters in size can only provide Delta with a slight boost.

If you really want to quickly increase your strength, you have to consume high-ranking Honkai Beasts.

Thinking of this, Qiu Bi quickly stopped his wandering thoughts and focused his attention back on the chaotic Manchester.

"Amber, when will the Human Union's support arrive in Manchester?"

"Well... Lord Qiu Bi, to be honest, the Human Alliance may not be able to provide support to Manchester."

"what happened?"

Qiu Bi frowned.

The Honkai event that broke out in Manchester was no small matter; it could even be described as a "mini-Honkai war."

This would normally be a top priority, so why is there a situation where "support is unavailable" now?

"Lord Qiu Bi, not only has a Honkai event occurred in Manchester, but a large number of Honkai events have also occurred all over the world."

Afraid that Qiu Bi would misunderstand, Amber quickly told Qiu Bi and Eden the news she had just learned.

As if preordained, massive and minor collapse events simultaneously erupted around the world, causing the situation to deteriorate rapidly.

Leaving aside the fact that the "Honkai" issue can no longer be concealed, the current number of people in the Human Alliance is completely insufficient to quickly quell the Honkai events around the world.

Both Destiny and World Serpent are facing a severe shortage of manpower.

Splitting the Valkyrie squad might slightly control the chaotic situation, but it could very likely lead to heavy casualties among the Valkyries, which would be digging their own grave.

As for the World Serpent...

World Serpent originally followed an elite route, with fewer members than Anti-Entropy.

However, with Kevin's abilities, quickly resolving the collapse of a city is not a difficult task.

Given the current turbulent situation, let alone supporting Manchester, the Human Alliance even wants to relocate the Valkyrie squad stationed in Manchester to other cities.

With Qiu Bi, Eden, and Bella staying in Manchester, it will be the safest place besides Destiny Airport and Fogsea Manor.

"Have you discovered any signs of a new Herrscher's arrival?"

"This... His Excellency the Bishop didn't mention this matter, so he probably didn't find any trace of the Herrscher's arrival."

"No Herrscher has descended?"

Qiu Bi frowned subconsciously. "Just an ordinary collapse incident? Something feels off..."

Qiu Bi pondered for a few seconds but still couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and turned his gaze to the rampaging Honkai Beasts.

There weren't many large Honkai Beasts, about sixteen in total, and Qiu Bi had already killed one of them.

There were no Honkai Beasts exceeding 100 meters in size; the largest Honkai Beast was only about 40 meters long.

Their massive size gives Honkai Beasts an unparalleled advantage; even a simple movement can cause terrifying casualties.

"Let's find Bella first, and then deal with the large Honkai Beasts one by one."

Qiu Bi made the decision and continued to instruct, "Amber, contact the Valkyrie squad stationed in Manchester and have them select a safe location to rescue and protect the suffering civilians."

"Ok."

Amber nodded in response, having already put her oddly shaped glasses back on.

However, Amber's walking posture was slightly uncomfortable, somewhat like a leg injury, but not quite.

Eden calmly helped Amber up, saying, "Be careful, you're not very strong. I'll help you."

"Yes, thank you, Eden."

"You are Welcome."

Eden responded with a light laugh.

Strictly speaking, Amber and Eden are already comrades-in-arms who have "fought together," so their relationship is naturally closer than before.

Chapter 301 B-Rank Valkyrie Squad

While supporting Amber in Eden, Qiu Bi did not forget to use the power of the Wind Herald to lift the two girls off the ground and fly away.

To be precise, neither Eden nor Amber can be considered "young girls" anymore; they can be described as "young women."

Considering that Amber and Karen look exactly alike, Qiu Bi is also suspected of "outshining" Otto.

"It's probably just my imagination..."

Qiu Bi muttered to himself, glancing at Amber almost imperceptibly.

At this very moment, Amber was contacting the Valkyrie squad stationed in Manchester through her uniquely styled glasses, issuing orders in an orderly manner.

As Otto's long-time assistant, Amber's efficiency and command ability are not to be underestimated; even leading an entire Valkyrie force would not be difficult for her.

The only drawback might be its weak strength, making it easy to be caught in the crossfire or die from unknown area-of-effect attacks.

Even wearing the Valkyrie Armor of an A-rank Valkyrie, one can only barely possess the strength of an A-rank Valkyrie, and it still puts a considerable strain on the body.

Qiu Bi flicked his fingers and sent out streaks of flame, accurately killing one Honkai Beast after another.

Unfortunately, the flames are too hot, so even if they easily kill the Honkai Beasts, the corpses cannot be reused.

At least, Delta doesn't like charred Honkai Beasts.

Seeing this, Qiu Bi fell into deep thought, considering whether he should choose a new Herrscher core.

Of the three Herrscher cores currently available, the most powerful is the Herrscher of Flame, followed by the Herrscher of Wind, with the Herrscher of Consciousness being the least powerful.

However, apart from the Herrscher powers of the Flame Herrscher, the other two Herrscher powers are usually used by Qiu Bi as auxiliary means.

The power of the Wind Herald is used for flight; the power of the Knowledge Herald is used to interfere with the cognition or thoughts of others…

Qiu Bi's behavior can only be described as extravagant.

Before long, Qiu Bi and the others encountered Bella, who was walking gracefully and slowly.

Even amidst the chaos of Manchester, Bella maintained her elegant demeanor.

Bella, are you alright?

"I'm fine. Qiu Bi, when will the reinforcements from the Human Union arrive?"

"Without support, Honkai events broke out simultaneously around the world, and the Human Alliance was severely understaffed and unable to send reinforcements."

"Such a large-scale outbreak of Honkai, could it be that a new Herrscher has arrived?"

Bella frowned and asked.

Based on the information she had, she could only attribute all of this to the "descent of the Herrscher".

Qiu Bi shook his head and replied, "The Human Alliance has not discovered any trace of a Herrscher's arrival, at least not for the time being."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bella fell silent.

After a few seconds, he pressed on, "Qiu Bi, what do you plan to do now?"

"First, find the Valkyrie stationed in Manchester, and then deal with the rampaging Honkai Beasts."

As he spoke, Qiu Bi looked at the girl standing behind Bella.

Qiu Bi had passed by Rita's flower shop before, but he never took the initiative to contact Rita.

Rita had never been exposed to anything related to "Honkai" before, and Qiu Bi had plenty of beautiful wives around him, so he never had the idea of ​​contacting Rita.
