Chapter 404

After a pause, she added: "No, to be precise, it's something similar to the 【Divine Grace Barrier】."

"Thinking about it... that should have been created by the power of 【Constraint】."

After confirming what it was, Tesla hurriedly warned Kiana and the others.

"Kiana!! Quickly take everyone away from there; if you get touched by those gears, it's all over!"

"We don't know if this is a defensive measure triggered after breaking the light screen or what, but it is using the Seed of Imaginary in the center as a core and is rapidly expanding outward!"

Although she didn't know what that thing in the sky was, Kiana still hurriedly organized the girls present to leave the area.

However, at this moment, the girls were already extremely weak.

After the Olenyeva sisters shared their power with Bronya, even standing was a struggle.

Lierie had even fallen asleep.

Bronya was unconscious, and Seele could only barely carry Bronya on her back.

The situation was urgent, and the gears in the sky were still expanding rapidly.

The influence brought by 【Constraint】 had not ended; in fact, with the expansion of the gears, the influence was growing greater.

Kiana was completely unable to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

Otherwise, she could have used the power of the 【Herrscher of the Void】 to teleport the girls back to the Hyperion.

Just as Kiana and the others were helping each other leave, another roar came from the sky.

"Is that... the assault ship carried on the Hyperion?"

Tesla was somewhat surprised: "Theresa? When did you go out?"

Einstein: "That's good too. Since Theresa has already arrived nearby, let's complete the evacuation of the ground combat personnel as soon as possible."

And Theresa did indeed sigh.

"No, Doctor... retreat is not going to work!"

"Bronya and the others just went through a great battle and are now exhausted..."

"Judging by the current expansion speed of the gears, if we evacuate from the air, I'm afraid we will take on even greater risks."

Theresa's words left the players confused.

Could it be that the expansion speed of the gears was faster than the speed of the assault ship?

Actually, that wasn't the case; the expansion speed of the gears wasn't fast, but the power of 【Constraint】 contained within the gears could not be ignored.

The power of 【Constraint】 is like insecticide to Valkyries who fight with Honkai energy; just getting close is extremely dangerous.

And for Flame-Chasers and Herrschers, the influence of the power of 【Constraint】 is even greater.

Calling it poison is not an exaggeration.

And the girls present were either Herrschers or warriors who had fused with Honkai Beast genes.

Moreover, they were currently in an extremely weak state.

If they waited for Theresa to land, take the girls onto the assault ship, and then fly away... I'm afraid that by then, the power of 【Constraint】 would have been enough to "poison" the weak girls to death.

Many viewers didn't know this for the time being.

But that didn't affect them watching the plot.

Wave after wave of crises made the hearts of the viewers, which had just settled, rise again.

"Doctor, do you remember that experiment we did before regarding 【Constraint】?"

Tesla's expression was shocked: "Theresa? You... don't tell me you want to..."

Theresa nodded with a flat tone: "If I use the 【Divine Grace Barrier】 to output the power of 【Constraint】 equivalent to it... Kiana and the others... will not be in danger."

"Wait, Theresa!" Tesla hurriedly tried to persuade her: "Although theoretically that is true, but..."

"You should know what the 【Divine Grace Barrier】 means for you, who is equivalent to a Flame-Chaser!!"

Theresa naturally understood.

She also had Honkai Beast genes in her body; she was indeed considered a Flame-Chaser.

Naturally, the power of 【Constraint】 was equally fatal to Theresa.

If Theresa used the 0th power of Judah, there was a high probability she would die too!

Furthermore, Theresa intended to directly increase the power to a level sufficient to match that 【Seed of Imaginary】 in the sky...

And facing the persuasion of Tesla and the others, Theresa had no intention of turning back at all.

Seeing this, Tesla and Einstein were very helpless.

Now that Theresa had already driven the assault ship to Kiana and the others, even if they wanted to stop her, it was too late.

In the end, Tesla and the others could only choose to cooperate with Theresa's actions.

Seeing this, the discussion in the comments became increasingly intense.

The discussion was nothing more than two outcomes.

Theresa 【dies】, or 【lives】.

And the reason there were two voices was still because of Otto and his strange actions before.

Otto was about to die, so he certainly wouldn't kill Theresa again; after all, his favorite granddaughter still had to inherit the entire Schicksal.

And another view was that, currently, only World Serpent, Immortal Fu Hua, and Li Sushang had the opportunity to save Theresa.

But currently, World Serpent had no movement at all, and Mei was probably still in the Elysian Realm cuddling with Elysia.

Immortal Fu Hua was probably still unconscious.

And, given Mihuyou's nature... those who know, know.

……

Comments discussed, Sister Yidian worried.

And at this moment in the plot, there was another flashback...

Theresa's flashback... was from when Cecilia was still alive.

And the BGM also turned into a light, slow piano piece.

This piece of music had also played before in the plot of "Everlasting Flames," when Kiana and Himeko said goodbye.

Seeing this, the audience was even more worried.....

Even the viewers who were arguing that Theresa wouldn't die had the urge to lean toward the other side.

【No way... a flashback...】

【Damn!! This is the rhythm of death...】

【Ahhh... Mihuyou, don't!】

【Theresa with the bun... so cute, QAQ】

……

In the flashback, Theresa and Cecilia chatted about daily life, chatted about the still-young Kiana...

And they also made a promise together to establish a Valkyrie academy with a human touch—【St. Freya Academy】.

"Just like you said, Cecilia..."

"The students of 【St. Freya】 have grown to a degree we couldn't even believe..."

Theresa looked back at Kiana and the others, a gratified smile on her face.

"They are already able to decide their own destiny, able to choose the things they want to protect."

"Even if they are worlds apart, they will not stop their steps toward tomorrow!"

"Although... the students of St. Freya do indeed cause all sorts of problems... but you were right, Cecilia—"

"This is the 【Future】 that is different from ours."

"This is... the 【Future】 we should protect!"

As Theresa muttered to herself, the BGM turned into a tragic female vocal chant.

This BGM... had also played when Himeko left.

Everything seemed to be foreshadowing... that Theresa might really be going to die...

The audience had already started to go crazy, and the live broadcast room was filled with comments screaming.

Things like—【Mihuyou, you have no heart】【Otto, go die】【Mihuyou, how dare you!?】【Ahhhhh】

These almost covered the entire screen.

Sister Yidian was also clutching her heart.

This scene was not very moving.
