Chapter 129: Bella: Big Brother, I'm Here!

Far East, Nagazora City.

The white-haired girl stood on the rooftop, gazing at this city submerged in water, full of devastation and desolation. She fell into a momentary silence, her mood somewhat low.

"Kiana, as you should know, the central part of Nagazora City is low-lying, and being a port city, the land sank severely after the Eruption. Soon, seawater surged in. The inflowing water was contaminated by Honkai Energy and turned into a secondary disaster. The East District, located downstream, suffered particularly severe damage." The black-haired boy stood beside Kiana, looking at the water-covered Nagazora City, feeling a bit melancholic.

For some reason, as he looked at this city submerged in seawater, he inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it in an animated movie. Both were in the Far East, and both were cities flooded with water.

Of course, if you ignore the shimmering Honkai Energy with a hint of purple in this flooding seawater.

After sensing the Honkai Energy in Nagazora City, Chase also roughly guessed the reason why Otto chose this place for the next experiment.

Currently, the energy stored in the Vimur Lab base has been almost depleted. Ignoring whether Otto's preparations can support the zero-rated power he envisioned, it is likely that it won't even be able to support the first-rated power to open the Quantum Sea.

Nagazora City happens to meet Otto's requirements.

Kiana couldn't summon the energy to focus. She found a relatively clean place to sit down, looked away, and asked Chase with some confusion, "So, Chase, what are we doing here?"

"Wait." Chase replied with a simple answer, "Let the bullets fly for a while."

There is still some time before the agreed-upon day with Kevin and Otto. He was sent here by Kevin to hold the fort and handle unexpected situations. Though Raven is also coming, she is currently on her way to Nagazora City aboard the battleship.

Chase doesn't have the habit of casually sharing spatial teleportation.

"You said the same thing before..." Kiana muttered softly. Suddenly, a familiar hand was placed on her head, very skillfully stroking her hair.

"All right, all right, are you hungry?" Chase asked.

"...Yes." After a moment of hesitation, Kiana nodded.

After a while, Chase looked at Kiana, who was sitting beside him and nibbling on snacks, then suddenly smiled and said, "Kiana, do you want to see Bella?"

"Huh?" Kiana tilted her head in confusion.

At the same time, in the mental space of the Queen of the Void and in the Stigmata space of Sirin, both raised their heads. They temporarily forgot to chew on their snacks and looked at Chase in unison.

Queen of the Void: My adorable follower?

Sirin: My detestable follower?

Just as Chase finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to sense something and looked into the distance with a slightly puzzled look.

..........

Benevolent or, as she should be called now, Bella, was not in a particularly good mood at the moment.

Originally, she was enjoying hot pot and singing songs, swiftly flying towards Nagazora City, eager to meet her big brother and the Queen. However, halfway through, she was robbed by bandits.

"Roar!!!"

Bella was furious!

She was flying in the sky, completely ignoring the two people on the ground. However, the girl with a Katana attacked her without any warning.

Unprepared for this undeserved disaster, Bella was truly struck by this blow. She landed on the ground, roared angrily at the girl who attacked her.

Even the Golden Bodhisattva has three points of anger, not to mention Bella, the Judgment-class Honkai Beast with a pseudo-Herrscher core!

She is the Queen's darling, her big brother's precious little one! Can she tolerate such injustice? She had just learned the Dragon's Breath!

Moreover, she is not afraid of the girl with the Katana. Even though the girl emits a faint high-level aura, it doesn't make Bella want to back down.

Joking aside, she is the Queen's sweetheart and her big brother's...

So, Bella, whose anger was ignited by the attack of Raiden Mei, chose not to continue flying but instead decided to retaliate against the girl who had initiated the provocation.

Then...

There was no "then."

The unethical Crow looking suddenly appeared, and after a successful sneak attack, joined the team to confront the dragon led by Raiden Mei. The cooperation between the two made it difficult for Bella.

It's not that she couldn't win, but Bella wanted to win beautifully, to pass through the flowers, untouched by a single leaf.

So, Bella chose the most shameless but effective method to deal with this situation—

Dragon: Call of Friendship!

"Roar!!!" A resounding dragon's roar echoed through Nagazora City.

Help me, big brother, Queen!

"Leave Bella alone!!!" The black-haired young man descended like a god, accurately landing on Bella's head. At the same time, he used his ability to create a spatial barrier, separating the two thugs who were trying to chase after them.

"Bella, are you okay?" With the crisis resolved, Chase immediately cared for his precious little sister. After receiving the reassurance that there was nothing serious, the brave dragon rider glared at the two villains.

"She's just a child! You... huh? Raven?" Chase's moral condemnation was interrupted as he suddenly realized that the two thugs were actually acquaintances, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"Uh... White Dove, why are you here?" Raven was also puzzled, with big question marks in her wine-red eyes.

Why is my colleague attacking me? Why am I fighting my colleague? Raven fell into the philosophical vortex of binary thinking.

'What happened?' This was Raiden Mei's current thought. She was also a bit confused. Why did the fight suddenly stop, and why does her temporary teammate seem to know the black-haired young man on the other side?

It seems like they know each other quite well.

Chase didn't rush to answer, gently patting Bella's head, soothing her emotions. After completing a set of procedures, seemingly still not at ease, a golden knight's spear appeared in his hand. He pointed it at Bella, guiding her with a series of gestures, seemingly satisfied.

"I have the power of the Herrscher of Void. Is it too much to summon the companion Honkai Beast of the Second Herrscher?" Chase asked Raven with a smile.

"..." Raven was silent, momentarily at a loss for words, finding it somewhat reasonable from Chase's perspective.

"Rest assured, Bella meant no harm." Chase, seeing Raven still hesitating, added.

"But she attacked Raiden Mei and the Sora."

"Wasn't she retaliating against the one who attacked first?" Chase countered.

Raven and Chase looked at Raiden Mei. The girl from the Far East felt a bit embarrassed being looked at like this and scratched her cheek.

"To be fair, she's right."
