With rhythmic breathing, the girl seemed to transform into a light bird, leaping to the opposite rooftop.
A Valkyrie's excellent physical fitness was displayed to the fullest at this moment.
In the dark of night, she was the most inconspicuous crow, soaring into the air and then riding the wind.
Beep beep beep!
The girl looked down; the noisy car horns were incessant, and the streets were crowded everywhere.
Quite a few ordinary citizens accidentally spotted the girl's figure and opened their mouths in surprise.
The Eos Honkai Energy engine was at the highest point in Sky Dome City!
Just as the girl was rushing there, Sky Dome City's mechanical defense line detected her figure.
Purple-black Titan Mechs constructed an absolute defense line that was difficult to break through, slowly beginning to approach the girl.
"Are they here?"
The girl whispered, removing her black cap to reveal her exquisite face.
Yunduo, wearing the White Comet armor, waved her right hand and used the power of the Herrscher of the Void to pull a baseball bat from the void.
"I don't have time to play with you all here!"
As the milky white moonlight fell, she held the baseball bat and spoke in a low voice, looking like a flawless goddess of the moon.
"Boom!"
A Titan Mech captured Yunduo's path and fired a swift missile!
This kind of missile could even pierce the body of a Honkai Beast; if it hit an ordinary person, there would absolutely be nothing left of them.
She leaped up, finding the gaps between these missiles, and wove through the dense rain of projectiles.
The missiles didn't even touch the hem of Yunduo's clothes, and the white smoke from the explosions illuminated the dark night sky.
Next, all the Titan Mechs finished integrating, and thousands of shells rose into the air!
Like a continuous stream of fireworks, shells that could easily shatter the hardest substances on earth heartlessly flew toward the girl.
"He-yah!"
Yunduo held the baseball bat, dodging the consecutive attacks, and repeatedly jumped onto the mechs, swinging her bat!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The power of the Herrscher of the Void surged from her fingertips!
With every swing of the bat, a mech exploded on the spot!
The explosions merged into a rain, mixing with the atmosphere of the night, making the fireworks even more brilliant.
Explosions and flames intertwined, spreading out from behind the girl's heels.
The enemies pressed closer step by step, giving Yunduo no time to catch her breath.
"I see it!"
Suddenly, Yunduo saw a high tower, and she ran swiftly along the outer edge of the tower building.
Below her feet, Gatling Titans fired bullets frantically, exceeding thousands of rounds per second; the air was torn apart, making a whizzing sound.
"So annoying!"
Yunduo smashed her bat down, dazing a Gatling Titan with a single blow.
She bent down, shifting her center of gravity lower, concentrating her full strength into her right foot: "Neko, charm!"
A phantom cat paw appeared!
Bang!
With one kick, she toppled a ten-meter-tall Gatling Titan.
In the distance, the World Serpent's defense personnel were stunned; they had never seen anyone take down a mecha like that.
Finally, she broke through the entire mecha defense line.
Yunduo reached the rooftop, the highest point in Sky Dome City!
She rubbed her burning cheeks, ignoring the firelight from the explosions behind her.
She walked forward step by step, sensing a powerful Honkai Energy reaction ahead!
The Eos engine stood three meters tall, positioned ten meters in front of her.
"I must disarm the bomb quickly!"
Yunduo muttered to herself, running slowly against the intense Honkai Energy reaction.
Eerie purple Honkai Energy filled the sky, emitting terrifying power.
The dense Honkai Energy had already undergone a qualitative change; if anyone were to approach slightly now, they would turn into a Death Soldier within a second.
If it weren't for the Herrscher of the Void core inside the girl, she probably wouldn't have lasted even a few seconds!
"Ugh..."
Under the stimulation of the Honkai Energy, one of Yunduo's eyes turned a frantic gold. She held her arm in front of her, bit her lip, and dragged her pained body forward.
Maintaining sanity under the stimulation of Honkai Energy and not being eroded by the Herrscher of the Void was an almost impossible feat.
Especially since she wanted to resist the Honkai Energy, making her body feel as if it were being cut by knives.
Every step brought a piercing pain.
Success was imminent—only one meter to go!
Yunduo's hand was already on the engine's control device, needing only a twist... Suddenly, a super-strong Honkai Energy reaction surged like a tide.
"Argh!"
Time was up!
The engine was preparing to self-detonate!
Yunduo's body could not withstand this surge of Honkai Energy.
Her hand on the engine was eroded by the destructive Honkai Energy, and her fair skin began to crack inch by inch.
Her other eye also began to change color, as the frantic gold quickly took over her pupil.
This was a precursor to the awakening of the Herrscher of the Void.
Yunduo covered one eye with one hand while trying to stop the engine's reaction with the other.
It was no use!
Her strength was slipping away bit by bit.
She seemed to hear the whispers of the sleeping Herrscher of the Void within her body at any moment.
At the very last moment, just as she was about to give in.
On the girl's broken arm, a red figure suddenly appeared.
Murata Himeko's reflection gently touched the girl's hand.
"Kiana..." She turned her head, pride and warmth flashing in her eyes; Kiana was her proudest student.
"Himeko, Sensei."
The girl's pupils constricted: "It's... I... I promised you that I would take this imperfect story..."
She resisted the frantic backlash of Honkai Energy and spoke hoarsely with all her strength.
Even if fate cannot be changed, I will no longer run away!
"...And turn it into what we want it to be!"
"Haaaaaaa—"
An explosion of Honkai Energy soared into the sky!
The blue-purple light allowed the sky to return to brightness once more!
The girl, holding the engine that was far larger than her body, soared straight up.
Her target was the endless starry sky!
At this moment, she was the Skyfire Wanderer who had fully mastered her power!
She was the Skyfire Meteor saving the sky!
As long as the engine was cast out of Earth, this world would not be eroded by Honkai Energy!
A reverse meteor, igniting the sky!
Soon the long night will come, and I am willing to become the final light!
The people on the ground watched in shock as the purple engine flew toward the sky, like a meteor charging forward.
At the same time, Rita watched this scene, showing a gratified smile.
Holding the engine, the girl flew toward outer space under the twinkling stars.
In the final moment of her remaining sanity, she threw the engine that was about to explode with all her might!
The girl thought of Himeko and woke up from her long dream.
A Spear of the Void streaked across, piercing the engine!
"BOOM!!!!!!"
A flash of light passed, and the girl fell from a height of ten thousand meters like a falling star.
"This is my promise," she whispered.
Sky Dome City returned to peace once more.
The light shining in the sky was as dazzling as a meteor.
By the girl's ear, the mechanical voice of the Challenge Space sounded.
"Challenge complete, rewards are being distributed!"
"Congratulations to challenger Yunduo for obtaining the [Skyfire Wanderer] Character Card!"
"Congratulations to challenger Yunduo for obtaining [Sakura's Remembrance]!"
"Challenger Kiana's punishment has been canceled!"
