Chapter 288: "Herrscher of Thunder"

"You can't enter the city now, turn around, the city has been quarantined due to a deadly plague. Civilians please stay away."

Before Elysia had time to enter the city, she was blocked by MOTH soldiers using modified BT-7274 Mecha.

This mecha can increase human power many times when fighting Honkai, or be used in infrastructure. Coupled with various weapon modules, since getting the blueprint from IPC, almost the majority of MOTH's investment has been given to the development of the Titan series Mecha.

Maybe because of this, MOTH became very arrogant and became very brave in oppressing the IPC in their own territory.

"What do you mean, haven't you seen whose logo on this car it belongs to? How dare you block me in our own territory!"

"Ma'am, please obey orders. If not, we will have to use force."

Seeing the MOTH soldiers starting to point their gun muzzles at her, Ilora also started to roll up her sleeves bravely.

Just kidding, when Anti-Entropy was still around, they should lower their heads and call Schicksal the eldest brother.

Compared to those easily damaged machine cans, valkyries are the most powerful creatures!

"Sister Ilora, it's okay! Don't fight okay? Even though sister Thea invited me to come visit, this isn't an urgent matter either! Listen, let's turn around okay?"

Elysia didn't know that Ilora was an A-rank valkyrie who could kick emperor-class Honkai beast to death. What she knew was that Ilora really wasn't afraid of death when facing soldiers armed with combat-type mecha.

Looking at it from the layman's eyes, this was someone who was looking for death.

Elysia broke out in cold sweat.

"Hmph, you bunch of disgusting maggots. Don't worry Elysia, if we withdraw now then they will get worse. I'll call the captain first."

Making a phone call in front of the soldiers, and not being afraid of the cold muzzles aimed at her, the communicator kept ringing, and the soldiers sneered.

"It's useless to make a phone call, no matter what you do, it will never connect."

Hearing this, Ilora also sneered at the MOTH soldiers for their monkey-like ignorance.

The reason why MOTH couldn't connect to the network was their lack of study on honkai. Honkai can also affect the network, causing all communication tools to be cut off.

However, what does this have to do with them?

The Cosmic juggernaut is still anchored in Imaginary space, and is the most perfect signal transmitter. Even if they made a call in the sea of ​​quanta, there would still be someone to answer it!

Under the gazes of the shocked MOTH soldiers, the phone call was suddenly connected.

"[Ilora... sorry it took a while, it's a bit busy here. Is Elysia there yet?]"

"Captain Maria we have arrived! But we are being blocked by a group of MOTH soldiers! What should I do next? Can I break through?"

"[....gosh, as expected by you. Remember, never resort to violence or expose yourself before the time comes. As for yourself, you can look for a hotel nearby and wait.]"

"Is the Honkai beasts attack there very serious?"

"[No, it's still in the early stages so the Honkai beasts appearing aren't that high. It's just... We had some annoying problems.]"

____

Half an hour ago, when Maria and the other valkyries were going to take the researchers to a safe place, halfway through, their convoy team was attacked by some unknown Mecha.

This is the MOTH army.

There were hundreds of Mecha rushing towards them very bravely. In order not to influence the researchers, Maria led her troops to eradicate them all.

Twenty valkyries against two hundred MOTH Mecha. Of course it was a one-sided massacre.

Like the Autobots' fight against the Decepticons, many machine parts flew around, and Mecha MOTH was slaughtered one by one by the valkyries like mowing grass.

"[This doesn't make sense! Humans should unite against Honkai, but why are they busy fighting with themselves!]"

"[Well, in a rational analysis, we ourselves are not even among them. Relations between the IPC and MOTH have become very cold, they are not afraid to tear down bridges especially after finding out that our main base has fallen.]"

"[I think they also seem to be trying to target our researchers. The enemy concentration here is very dense, is there anyone who can help?]"

"[I'm free, wait for me!]"

....

Maria: "[All of you please hold your hands, let these few people live for interrogation.]"

"[Roger!]"

"[Roger!]"

"[Affirmative!]"

....

Easily clear the MOTH Mecha, and ignore the screams of the soldiers in pain. The valkyries are now also starting to face new enemies.

They all looked at the sky warily.

"I didn't expect that apart from your Mecha technology, the IPC also has such great soldiers. You guys can always surprise me."

Raiden Ryoma, the Herrscher of Thunder in this era, appeared in front of the valkyries very arrogantly.

Maria came forward to negotiate.

"Mr. Ryoma, I think we have a bit of a misunderstanding here. Don't let that power influence your thoughts!"

Hearing his enemy's persuasion, Ryoma laughed. Somehow he felt this was a little funny.

In the original story, Ryoma became the Herrscher of Thunder after his wife died of cancer, and the reason why this time Ryoma can become the Herrscher of Thunder is because his wife also died as a result of being framed by MOTH.

MOTH attempted to pit IPC and MEC against each other. But what they didn't expect, Ryoma's kidnapped wife was suddenly killed, and the angry Ryoma turned into the Herrscher of Thunder.

Fate in this world is truly cruel and absolute.

"I don't want to hear excuses from my enemies. When my wife begs for mercy to be released, what are you trying to do?"

"YOU ALL DESERVE TO DIE HERE!!! I WILL BURY YOU ALL TOGETHER WITH THIS ROTTEN CITY!!!"

Thick lightning fell to the earth, and all the lights in Nagazora City suddenly went out.

Invisible electrons begin to gather and create EMP waves which are very deadly to electronic equipment. Seeing the Mecha worn by the valkyries starting to die one by one, Ryoma began to take action.

The surrounding metal began to rotate very quickly. Using electromagnetic power, all these bullets shot towards the valkyrie like a rain of bullets!

This is a railgun rain attack!

Some unlucky valkyries even turned into sieves when hit by this attack. Maria shouted while giving orders.

"All valkyries get out of the Mecha and find a hiding place! Don't shoot him!"

There are some valkyries who have somewhat slow reactions. Their bullets hit the electromagnetic wall, and Ryoma returns the bullets to where they came from. As a result, several valkyries turned into sieves again.

"The convoy team immediately move away! We will protect your backs! Leave this city immediately!"

The accelerator was stepped on, and the convoy team began to drive through the chaotic streets very wildly.

Seeing this, Ryoma snorted.

"Did I get you all to leave?"

Purple colored lightning began to gather in Ryoma's hand, and he pointed his fingertip at the convoy team. Realizing that they couldn't leave this place easily, Maria decided to stop pretending to be weak any longer.

The valkyrie's stigmata began to activate again, and the holy blood in her body began to flow very rapidly.

Maria's aura turned very holy. This made Ryoma very alert. He felt threatened.

Summoning her Lance of Mercy, Maria pointed her spear towards the god's messenger in the sky.

"Sacred blood---"

"Hey, am I late~?"

Like the time of the world was suddenly paused, and the spotlight was suddenly taken away, crystal arrows descended from the sky, and instantly created a huge crystal wall to protect Maria from Ryoma's lightning attacks.

Elysia smiled when she saw Maria looking at her blankly.

"I thought the situation was a bit serious, so I immediately came to help. Sister Maria, long time no see~ did you miss me~?"

Smiling cheerfully in the middle of the battlefield, Elysia, a girl as beautiful as a flower, smiled very sweetly.
