Three thousand meters above Canghai City, Mo Wang stood at the hatch of the Hyperion.
Strong gusts of wind continuously brushed against his face.
“Who would’ve thought that after transmigrating, I’d even be cured of my fear of heights.
I just hope next time, it’s my motion sickness that gets cured.” Looking down at the tiny city below, he licked his slightly dry lips.
At this moment, he felt no fear at all—on the contrary, he was even a little excited.
“Hey, boss, are you really going to jump from here?
I think you should consider some other method.
It’s not like we’re in a hurry, right?” Ai-chan floated beside Mo Wang, unable to resist trying to persuade him.
“Even if you really want to jump, at least bring a parachute or something, right?” Ai-chan was starting to get scared.
When Valkyries jump, they at least bring some equipment.
You’re not even bringing a parachute—you’d probably turn into a meat patty the moment you hit the ground.
“See, Ai-chan, you still don’t understand a man’s romance.” Facing Ai-chan’s persuasion, Mo Wang wagged his finger.
“A real man is someone like me, who jumps straight down without bringing anything—now THAT’s romance!”
“I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about!
Why does this have anything to do with a man’s romance?!”
“Ai-chan, you really don’t understand humans yet.
Being cool is what matters for a lifetime.
If you think a little height like this would scare me, don’t underestimate me, y’know!”
“I think you should go get your head checked!” Ai-chan was already furious.
Could this guy’s brain have actually broken from too much stress?
“Alright Ai-chan, the Hyperion is in your hands from here on.
Now, it’s time for The Hunt to begin.” Mo Wang gave Ai-chan a thumbs up.
Then, under Ai-chan’s dumbfounded gaze, he jumped straight off the ship.
“As expected!
The Hunt has to be cool!”
“GAIA!!”
…
Meanwhile, on the streets of Canghai City, smoke filled the air and gunfire raged.
Honkai Beasts, Valkyries, and Titan Mecha—three factions—were locked in a brutal melee within the city.
A massive Honkai Beast roamed through the ruins, its enormous frame and white skin gleaming with an eerie luster under the sunlight.
Every step made the ground tremble, and the surrounding buildings collapsed under its oppressive presence.
In the distance, a colossal Titan Mecha slowly approached, its fierce single eye already detecting signs of the Honkai Beast.
A red light flashed from its eye, and then it raised its massive fist.
With a heavy mechanical roar, it slammed down hard toward the Honkai Beast, the air itself seeming to tear apart as the fist swung.
Moments later, hundreds of missiles launched from another mecha’s shoulders, streaking across the sky and hurtling toward the Honkai Beast.
In an instant, an entire street was engulfed by the Titan’s overwhelming firepower.
On one side, the Honkai Beasts held an absolute numerical advantage in the city.
On the other, the Anti-Entropy forces possessed overwhelming firepower.
In fact, both factions had subconsciously ignored the Valkyries hiding in the ruins nearby.
“Tch, I didn’t expect not just the Honkai Beasts, but Anti-Entropy to get involved too.
This is really bad now.” Himeko looked at the battle outside and couldn’t help but sigh.
Behind her, the members of the First and Second Squads were huddled together.
Their Valkyrie Armor was already tattered and torn.
Several Valkyries had fallen unconscious from severe injuries.
A few female students with weaker nerves were curled up to the side, sobbing quietly.
Himeko took in the sight of her students, feeling helpless but also understanding them.
After all, these kids were ultimately just fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls.
Suddenly asking them to be fearless like true soldiers was simply impossible.
Normally, Himeko might have comforted and guided them with a few words.
But in this situation, that clearly wasn’t an option.
“Cough, cough, cough!” Himeko suddenly coughed violently.
With the cough came a trace of blood from her mouth.
“Miss Himeko, are you alright?” Fu Hua quickly rushed to Himeko’s side and asked.
“I’m fine, just overexerted myself a bit earlier.” Himeko waved her hand, then turned to Fu Hua.
“How is it?
Can you contact the Hyperion?”
“No good.
The communication equipment is still jammed.
It seems the entire city of Canghai has been cut off by the enemy.” Fu Hua spoke in a low voice.
She could tell that the current situation was far from optimistic.
“Miss Himeko, what do we do now?” A girl in damaged armor asked Himeko between sobs.
“It’s alright.
The Academy Principal has probably already noticed something’s wrong on our end.
If nothing unexpected happens, reinforcements should arrive soon.” Himeko suppressed the discomfort in her body and comforted the girl.
“Will reinforcements really come?” The girl clearly didn’t trust Himeko’s words.
After all, they had all just heard the conversation—could the Principal really make it in time?
“BOOM!”
Just then, the ruins where the Valkyries were hiding were suddenly torn open by a massive object.
An orange Titan Mecha appeared before the Valkyries, its huge single eye radiating a terrifying crimson glow.
“Fu Hua!
Take them and get out of here!
I’ll hold this thing off!” The moment Himeko saw the Titan Mecha, she immediately issued the order to Fu Hua.
“Major Himeko!” Fu Hua watched as Himeko, barely holding herself together, prepared to cover the Valkyries’ retreat.
She couldn’t help but want to reveal her true strength to deal with the enemy before them.
But just then, her gaze involuntarily lifted to the sky. The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
A crimson-glowing meteor was falling toward their direction, growing larger and larger.
“Since when do we see meteors at a time like this?”
“Wait…
is that meteor getting bigger?”
“Why do I feel like that meteor is flying straight at us?”
Within just a dozen seconds, the Valkyries’ expressions shifted from curiosity to growing terror.
“Everyone, run!” Himeko abandoned any talk of holding the line and immediately shouted for everyone to retreat.
The orange Titan, meanwhile, stared up at the crimson meteor with its huge single eye, utterly confused.
“BOOM!”
With the meteor’s impact, the Titan Mecha was immediately punched straight through, leaving a massive hole.
Strangely, after piercing through the Titan, the meteor landed on the ground without any massive explosion.
Instead, it bounced a few times before tumbling into the ruins.
“What…
just happened?” Himeko looked at the sky in confusion, then at the ruins nearby.
How did a meteor just randomly fall from the sky?
“Um, Miss Himeko, I don’t think that was actually a meteor.” Fu Hua’s expression stiffened as she spoke to Himeko.
“Not a meteor?
Then what was it?” Himeko said as she looked toward the ruins.
The Valkyries’ expressions gradually turned strange as well.
“SLAP!”
A hand suddenly shot straight out from the ruins.
The scene was quite reminiscent of a zombie’s hand in Plants vs.
Zombies.
“Pfft, pfft!
Damn!
What the hell did I just crash into?
That hurt.” A young man in white clothes crawled out of the ruins, cursing under his breath.
“I didn’t expect jumping down to be this thrilling.
No wonder so many people like bungee jumping.”
Mo Wang straightened his clothes as he looked around.
His gaze happened to meet the Valkyries, who were staring at him with extremely strange expressions.
“Yo, my dear Valkyries, your reinforcements have arrived!” Mo Wang said, giving a thumbs up.
He completely failed to notice the utterly bizarre looks on the Valkyries’ faces.
“M-Mo Wang?!”
