"Such an untalkative little brat~"
Looking at the spot where Ming Yu had disappeared, Siegfried was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head and sighed.
If Ming Yu truly didn't care, why would he have gone to the trouble of telling him the news, and even gone to great lengths to ask him to intervene?
On paper, he was Schicksal's number one most-wanted criminal, an S-rank danger!
That hidden trust and understanding made him wonder where Ming Yu had gotten his information from.
Was it Theresa?
Unlikely. Although Theresa seemed and in fact was not very shrewd, she wouldn't go around casually talking about his affairs. Besides, she had never mentioned Ming Yu to him.
Pushing the doubt to the back of his mind, Siegfried also quickly left the place.
If he was going to stop Anti-Entropy's mecha troops, he had to hurry as well.
Although Singapore's forces were on the front line, just as Ming Yu had said, they couldn't stop Anti-Entropy's mechs at all. The difference in their utilization of Honkai Energy was several generations apart; the equipment gap would cause the battle to collapse rapidly.
Forget holding on for an hour, they would be lucky to last twenty minutes.
As for whether Anti-Entropy's mecha troops would retreat because the prerequisites for the Herrscher's birth were not met, Siegfried had little confidence in that.
Once the plan in the city failed, the Titan troops would probably become even more frantic, trying to seize the Gem of Serenity at all costs. At that point, it would just be a matter of having the Fourth Honkai Eruption in a different location.
High-concentration Honkai Energy crystals are hard to find, but there are plenty of cities with a million people!
What happens to Singapore, what happens to the next city, why would a madwoman like Cocolia care?
A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and Siegfried's body grew colder. A faint white frost was left where his boots had stepped, but it quickly melted under the sun.
......
Surveying the heavily guarded Queen's Hotel not far away, Ming Yu nodded thoughtfully and said to the two Valkyries beside him, "Alright, let's proceed according to the plan."
Hearing Ming Yu's words, Fu Hua nodded lightly. She naturally had no objections to the plan they had devised together. Kiana wanted to express her opinion, but clearly, no one would pay attention to her thoughts.
Receiving Fu Hua's agreement, Ming Yu flipped his left hand, and a heavy, silver-white greatsword appeared in it. With a flash of white light, amid streams of silver, a suit of armor covered his entire body. It was none other than God-Driving Armor: Lunar Abyss!
Staring at the towering Queen's Hotel, a serious look flashed in Ming Yu's eyes, and the Honkai Energy fluctuations throughout his body gradually began to resonate with the Lunar Abyss armor in time with his breathing.
According to the previously established plan, he would invade the Queen's Hotel from the front, attracting as much of Anti-Entropy's attention as possible to create an opportunity for Fu Hua and Kiana to infiltrate.
Compared to infiltration, Kiana was clearly more interested in a frontal assault. But neither Ming Yu nor Fu Hua gave her a choice.
Originally, Fu Hua wanted Wraith to come along, as her abilities were undoubtedly more suited for infiltration operations. But Wraith simply pointed at Ming Yu and declined with a smile.
With the addition of Ming Yu and the Lunar Abyss armor, they already possessed the power to annihilate the enemy head-on. Although Fu Hua's Moonwheel could achieve the same, the Shadow Knight was not suitable for public exposure.
And with the Key of Corruption, it meant they could easily hack into the enemy's network system and quickly pinpoint the location of the Gem of Serenity.
Thus, Wraith's abilities were not essential. It was precisely because she had figured this out that Fu Hua agreed to let Wraith remain on standby in the rear.
Even though Wraith's rating had reached A-rank, she was still a logistics personnel, and going to the front lines was extremely dangerous. For the same reason, Ming Yu also refused to let Higokumaru accompany him, ordering her to stay with the other members of the Inverse Feather Squad.
Taking a deep breath, a pair of azure wings of light suddenly extended from the back of the Lunar Abyss armor. As the wings moved, they scattered countless particles of cyan Honkai Energy.
Looking at Ming Yu's extremely gorgeous Lunar Abyss armor, and then at the blue-black carbon fiber combat suit she was wearing, Kiana's eyes couldn't help but sting with envy.
She had heard that Lunar Abyss was a fourth-generation Godslayer Armor, and for this operation, she wasn't even equipped with her White Comet battlesuit.
Thinking of her recent promotion to B-rank Valkyrie, Kiana sighed deeply. When would she ever have a Godslayer Armor of her own?!
Even if it wasn't as powerful as Ming Yu's, as long as it was cool enough, that would be fine. Then, she could take Mei... hehehe~
Ignoring Kiana's thoughts beside him, the azure wings of light suddenly vibrated, and Ming Yu, clad in the Lunar Abyss, shot up from the ground like a cannonball, launching himself into the Queen's Hotel building.
And at the hotel entrance, the two slashes of Sword Qi that Ming Yu had struck down from the air split the two Titans guarding the entrance like a hot knife through butter, the shockwave of the attack kicking up a large amount of dust.
"Now, move out!"
Shouting at Kiana, Fu Hua tapped her toes on the ground, and her body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.
When Kiana arrived at the hotel entrance, what she saw was a floor littered with suited bodyguards and Fu Hua, who was rubbing her wrists.
"...Aren't we supposed to be infiltrating?"
Looking at the calm-faced Fu Hua, Kiana was somewhat dumbfounded. Infiltration, wasn't that supposed to be about avoiding combat as much as possible?
"Precisely because it's an infiltration, we can't let a single enemy get away. Only by doing so can we minimize the chances of being discovered by the enemy!"
Saying this with a calm expression, Fu Hua picked up a pistol from the ground and casually shot out all the surveillance cameras within her field of vision.
Dumbly blinking her eyes, Kiana finally accepted this fact. She picked two suitable pistols from the ground, restocked her ammunition, and hurriedly followed Fu Hua's footsteps.
......
Queen's Hotel, upper floor. Dr. Magi frowned as he looked at Welt, who had suddenly burst in.
"What is it? Have the people to take us to Anti-Entropy arrived?"
Although he acknowledged Welt's strength, he had no fondness for the man's frivolous style.
"Anti-Entropy?" Looking at the composed Dr. Magi, Welt suddenly burst out laughing, laughing at how this old fool still hadn't realized the truth. "You probably won't make it there alive!"
As he spoke, black energy spheres appeared one by one beside Welt, and a dangerous aura filled the room.
"What do you think you're doing!? Don't forget, you still need my skills to unlock the secrets of the gem!"
Seeing the other party about to make a move, Dr. Magi instantly panicked. Having spent all his time in a lab, he had never faced such danger. The closest he had come was being pursued by Schicksal, but even that was resolved by the man before him who called himself Welt.
"Hahaha! What am I doing? Naturally, I'm giving our great Doctor some special treatment."
Seeing Dr. Magi's panic, Welt's laughter grew even more unrestrained.
Although that Valkyrie last night had thoroughly embarrassed him—he had been on high alert and still failed to keep her, and was even injured by her—it had greatly angered him, who considered himself a Herrscher and the Sovereign of Anti-Entropy.
But looking at Dr. Magi's face, contorted with fear, endless confidence welled up from the bottom of his heart, instantly dispelling the lingering shadow left by that Valkyrie.
"For example, like this."
Saying so, Welt flicked his finger, and an energy sphere shot towards Dr. Magi as a streak of light.
The laughter stopped abruptly. Welt's face was filled with a cold chill as he said lightly, "You're useless now, old man!"
Before his voice had even faded, the floor-to-ceiling window of the room shattered with a bang, and a black longsword suddenly thrust out, violently cleaving the beam of light from the energy sphere.
"Looks like I made it just in time?"
Seeing that Dr. Magi was flustered but physically unharmed, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Ming Yu's mouth as he spoke to Welt with a light chuckle.
