Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

"…Sorry, that's rude."

Ragnar seemed to only then remember Liu Bai's existence, and nodded slightly in apology.

"I think I understand what's going on."

“Me too.” Rita nodded in agreement.

Both Ragnar and Rita felt that artificial Herrschers were... too absurd and too crazy.

Is this something a human could come up with? Even the Herrscher of Control wouldn't do it like this, would they?

However, what was once the most rumored statement is now the most convincing.

Rita even filled in the gaps in her knowledge, and she also realized the information gap that Otto had regarding this matter.

So... since Liu Bai dares to speak so frankly about this matter, it means that the credibility of the existence of another Herrscher has increased once again.

Ragnar's favorability: 3338

Rita's Affection Level: 4047

This news was a pleasant surprise, but it was far too unexpected.

However, both of them were deeply moved by Liu Bai's honesty, and Rita even felt a sense of unexpected joy.

This information is really important—not just for her.

Of course, Liu Bai was also surprised. He had originally planned to drag the two people into the mess, but inexplicably he ended up winning them over.

"...Let's talk about Kiana first. According to you, Kiana is about to awaken?"

Ragnar's expression was grave.

This is even worse than a good thing, especially considering Kiana's current identity; it could even be considered a troublesome matter.

“He’s about to awaken. Our World Serpent Lord is an exceptionally skilled physician, which is why Lady Cecilia sent him here.” Bai nodded. “However, the treatment is progressing very well.”

"Is it under control?"

"No, but it has been confirmed that Sirin is harmless for the time being."

"..."

Is this good news?

Maybe so...

"But something not so good happened last night."

Liu Bai tapped the table and recounted to the two what had happened in the middle of the night the previous night.

Liu Bai also revealed some of the behavioral characteristics of the Herrscher of Dominion.

As expected, after Liu Bai finished speaking, both of their expressions became serious.

"Herrs who are drawn here by Herrschers... also possess powerful destructive capabilities at the grassroots level."

Ragnar revealed the same serious expression that Liu Bai had shown Rita earlier.

These two individuals, or rather, these five generations of S-class Valkyries, are both Valkyries from the "people's livelihood faction," and both highly value the influence of the Law Enforcers on the common people.

"The only advantage is that its individual combat strength isn't particularly high?"

“They’re about the same level as your team.” Bai glanced at the assault team members gathered at the door, their faces practically pressed against it. “Those guys are weak relative to your level, and their organization isn’t weak either. If it’s a large-scale head-on confrontation…”

"We'll most likely be the ones who suffer losses, right?"

Chapter 126 It's just a copy

"...So, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Since the other party had given them a gift, Ragnar wouldn't mind returning the favor, especially since they really couldn't extricate themselves from this matter.

"Do you need me to set up plainclothes officers near your house? The riot squad would be more convenient than the Undying Blade."

The stormtroopers were all from that era, and Rita, who had to consciously use the vice-captain's reputation to keep quiet even when facing her own teammates, made it easier for Ragnar to "defect."

The Undying Blade team might still have a soft spot for Otto, but the Stormtroopers don't. Although it's an old story, Cecilia and her husband's escape was probably the biggest event during their service, and they certainly wouldn't forget it.

Moreover, this matter also involves Rita and Bianca. Although these two have varying degrees of closeness to the Stormtroopers, they are all connected to them.

She only needs to talk to her teammates, and things will become clear.

Another point is that the average age of the members of the assault team (now all eight) is over thirty. Basically, their families are the main focus. Compared to the young people of the Undying Blade, their family burden is less, and they don't have to worry about their parents and relatives too much.

Well, many people don't not want to carry the bucket and run away, but the circumstances don't allow it.

So if Liu Bai doesn't mind, Ragnar wouldn't mind picking out a few skilled men to act as Liu Bai's undercover agents and protect him.

"No, no need. The stormtroopers just need to maintain normal operations when dealing with external threats."

Liu Bai glanced again at the group of Valkyries whose faces were pressed against the glass.

Are you sure this group of people aren't just there to scout out the location and kidnap me? I'm really worried about you sending them here!

"After all, the more scattered you are, the more likely you are to be defeated one by one by the Herrscher of Domination."

"Hmm...that's true."

Ragnar nodded with a slightly embarrassed expression. Although Liu Bai's reason was very proper, she could sense that Liu Bai was trying to be as tactful as possible when talking about other things.

...Can't those bastards in my own family leave a good impression on others?

"..." Ragnar pondered for a moment longer, "Rita, with our current forces, if the entire Sky Dome District were to be attacked, how long would it take us to suppress it?"

"Large-scale suppression is impossible."

Rita shook her head.

There aren't many people on their side right now.

The Undying Blade is a large force, and Rita's subordinates are less than half of the entire Undying Blade, just a few small squads.

The stormtroopers were more streamlined, more like a "squadron," and this time all of them came.

This number of people can suppress a regional-level Honkai in one go, but they are definitely outmatched when faced with a Herrscher intentionally creating Honkai.

"Then apply and bring Bianca and the rest of the Undying Blade over as well."

Ragnar spoke frankly.

"Even if it's difficult, we have to do it."

Hmm, this dream is really hard to come by. If the spirit comes over, the headquarters of Lingtian Enterprise will have no defense except for those mechs.

All of Schicksal's Valkyrie units are in the Sky Zone—even the worst ruler would find it strange to see all of his troops out there.

As for the Valkyrie squads in other branches... sorry, they're all called Valkyrie teams, and their maximum size is three to five people, one or two A-ranks leading a few B-ranks, plus how many teams a branch can support.

And what if people are transferred to other branches? Will they be able to make a living? What if they encounter a Honkai outbreak?

That's why Ragnar said it was a difficult task.

However, considering Bianca's situation, this is something that must be done, and whether for Bianca or Rita, this must be done with the Undying Blade.

There's nothing they can do; these are the only things that Valkyries have to worry about.

"There needs to be a good reason."

Rita rested her chin on her hand.

After realizing the information gap between Otto and the other side, Rita's mind started to conjure up a lot of crazy ideas.

Under these circumstances, it's not impossible to fool Otto.

"And we also need Mr. Liu Bai's assistance."

To get Otto to increase his troops, you need to create anxiety in him, but how exactly to make Otto anxious... you have to start with Kiana.

"Let's talk about this later."

Rita pondered for a moment but couldn't come up with a reliable plan, so she changed the subject.

“Let’s stop here for today. If you bring up any more bombshell news, Lord Ragnar and I won’t be able to handle it.” Rita stood up. “Have you two had lunch yet? If not, please order.”

"...I never imagined it would involve so many things."

On her way home, Mikoto Chiyo sighed.

Although she was a little confused at first, Mikoto Chiyo eventually caught up with their line of thinking.

So... this matter is clearly even more serious than what Fox Palace told her.

—Of course, Inazuma isn't involved in this anymore; he's just Liu Bai's henchman.

"It's alright. To be honest, everyone's interests are interconnected."

Compared to those in power who are considering the core uses, they just want to be free of the Lawyers and manage their own little corner of the world.

Big picture perspective? You're going to ruin the families of people we know, and you're talking to us about the big picture perspective?

So, people are supposed to be sacrificed? What if you want to destroy our families next?

These people are past the age of being so righteous and awe-inspiring; they're not those hot-blooded young people who think they can just sacrifice themselves without hesitation.

Besides, Otto isn't the only one in the world who opposes Honkai; other groups also have ideas about fighting Honkai.

And how should I put it... actually, many people can accept a "dictator," but they can't accept a "tyrant" or a "madman."

Otto's actions were clearly "crazy" in the eyes of others.

"This kind of thing is something that can't be done in the light of day no matter where you are," Bai said, stroking his chin. "I've just lifted the veil of shame."

The reactions of these two people today were greater than I expected. Is Tianming facing serious internal and external troubles?

It seems that after this was mentioned, the two of them immediately switched sides—even though Rita was originally the "traitor."

"If we get all three S-class Valkyries involved this time, it won't be a small matter."

Mikoto Chiyo sighed, "What is this now? Is the Mandate of Heaven about to erupt because of the contradictions that Otto has accumulated over hundreds of years?"

But you know what, Otto's persecution of the Valkyries is no secret. Leaving aside the rumors, didn't the strongest Schicksal in the previous generation, the Marshal of Schicksal, run away with a bucket?

He's been with Destiny for over a hundred years, he's the absolute last trump card. This kind of person would rather run away with young people he's only known for a short time than follow Otto—Otto is actually long gone.

The problem is that today's young people are too young to know about those old, trivial matters from back then.

After Leanna ran away, Schicksal remained silent for almost half a century, with little external action, wasn't it all to eliminate Leanna's influence?

The current Valkyries of Destiny may not even know that this previous generation of Destiny, who was in Anti-Entropy, was the strongest.

"...If you think about it that way, it's really just a reissue."

"what?"

"A replication of the reverse entropy situation."

Mikoto Chiyo spoke.

"Although I have been living in seclusion for a long time, I still keep up with the news from the outside world, not to mention the huge commotion caused by Anti-Entropy back then. To put it bluntly, wasn't Anti-Entropy just because of ideological differences, with the highest combat power of Destiny running away with outsiders to become independent?"

The outsider in this story is Liu Bai.

The strongest force of Destiny was simply split from one into three, and they also took their families along with them.

But to be honest, if you just look at the current situation between Liu Bai and Tianming, these two things are actually cut from the same cloth.

Even Miyuki Chiyo could see that Liu Bai had convinced Ragnar and Rita today. If it weren't for various factors, Liu Bai could have established "pro-entropy" on the spot with a single call... Well, anti-entropy might be some kind of scientific term, which Miyuki Chiyo didn't understand.

But that's the gist of it.

If Rita and her friends didn't plan to bring their families along, it would be a perfect replica of what happened back then.

If you were to say that someone like Leona, who has served for over a century and is considered a Grand Marshal, could raise her arm and have no followers, would anyone believe it?

It's just that Leia didn't do that.

She didn't coerce her subordinates, but she also didn't pull them out of the mire—opinions on this matter vary, after all, "rebellion" is a capital offense, and there are reasons to explain whether Leanna took others with her or not.

It's clear that these people from Tianming are now going to do the opposite of what they did back then.

Of course, with so many powerful forces now, if Liu Bai's relationship with those people ends here, Rita and the others will most likely end up going to the Far East Branch instead of following Liu Bai.

"Reverse entropy...it really does seem to be true."
