2 hours ago. Before the battle started, Hyperion had sent the request for reinforcement in order to deal with Benares - The Queen's executioner,  Judgement-Class Honkai beast.

There would be a few Valkyries squad capable of signing up for this mission, including the most famed Immortal Blades squad, led by the current strongest S-ranked Valkyrie - "Durandal ''. However, they are not available right now as ¾ of the squad has already gone for an assault mission far away.

And thus, this mission was signed up by 3 different, smaller Valkyries squads, aided by some more Titan crews and military platoons.

Those squads go by the following names, "Fire Wolves", "Mortal Axes", and "Pure Angels". Now, about these squads, they have nothing special to talk about, as they all consist of no more than 20 Valkyries each squad, are properly equipped, and have many fighting experience, some of them have served from the early 2000s.

What would be worth mentioning is the fact that the Great Angel herself - Marika has signed up, and has been appointed as the commander of this force.

Speaking about Marika, the Pure Angels squads, as their name suggests, are fangirls of Marika herself.

"That's our Great Angel, girls." - The Captain of the Pure Angels is stalking Marika with her team around. The others see this but… highly doubt they'll interfere. "I wonder what is our glorious angel up for herself to sign up for this very own mission…"

Marika didn't notice them as her back turned against them. She bites her fingernails while mumbling something.

"To imagine that my Theresa is in trouble… damn you grilled dragon, I'll kill you I'll kill you…" - Marika mumbles, she radiates an aura of death, her killing intentions were so clear.

But to the Pure Angels, they see the angels radiate nothing but gloriousness.

Meanwhile, some military regiments are preparing.

"Seriously, Hans? A shovel to fight a fucking dragon?"

"*gas mask noises*"

".... Understandable have a nice day."

With this much explanation done, it is finally time to move forward and switch to another scene…
On the Moon.

The Queen has observed the battle since the beginning in the throne room, her followers kneeled down below were not dared to look up at her, but they could tell that the Ruler of the Void is not disappointed at all, but the opposite, she is really proud of her executioner wrecking her foes apart.

Even some of them would say that she smiled slightly. But nonetheless, the battle is still far from over, and Schicksal's forces still have the chance to turn the tide.

"My liege, would you be pleased if we send reinforcements her way?" - Said one of the cultists kneeled down there.

Of course, they expected no response from her. But to their surprise, this time the Queen opened her mouth slightly and whispered, but her voice was sent to their mind directly.

"There is no need to aid my Bella. For no human can wish to stand against her now."

The Queen gave a cold gaze upon the cultists down there on the floor. But to them, it was more like a gift, finally made their way into the sight of their glorious Queen.

Gosh i swear, simps these days…

"But, it'll still be a problem if backup arrives. Set up an ambush." - The Queen gave her order.

Some of the cultists stood up and bowed, before leaving the throne room in a hurry.

Back to the surface, where the battle against Benares is still happening. You are surprised to know that there are more Honkai beasts arriving.

"Must be the Queen's damned servants… I'll mount the autogun, Captain!" - Jarek said as he hurried to mount the gun.

Benares is still on the ground to engage in close combat to the Valkyries, which she thought would be an advantage for her because of her area attacks and her size, but the opposite actually happened.

The remaining Valkyries, despite their numbers, still gained the upper hand against the dragon.

Kiana and Bronya released all their shots to Benares' face, annoying it and decreasing its accuracy. While Mei, Himeko, Fu Hua, and the others engage in melee combat. Their weapons were able to penetrate Benares' scales and damage her, although little, but still proves she can be defeated.

Benares immediately swung her claws around and jumped back, the Valkyries thought it's going to do the laser attack again, but no, Benares raised her wings and was about to fly. But before she could do it, a powerful shot was delivered to her face, it dealt no damage but it successfully prevented Benares from taking off, allowing the Valkyries to shorten their distance and pressure it at close range.

It was Elysia who shot the dragon, she is controlling the high ground with Mobius, who carefully observes and looks for potential weakness of Benares.

"Hmm… seems like the head got the best protection." - Mobius whispers. "Do not let it take its wings out."

"Hai hai~"

"Doktor Mobius." - Klein contacted Mobius.

"Yes Klein?"

"There are many enemies coming up to back Benares up… most of them are coming quick, airborne types. From the west of the mountain, which is your back now."

"Hmmm I see…"

"I'll dispatch some of the drones-"

"There is no need for that."

"...."

"It's time to play~" - Mobius said before she cuts off, smiles and does her signature laugh as she gets ready for the upcoming battle.

"Do you need backup on this one? I'll gladly help you." - Elysia asked her friend with a smile.

"Tsk." - Mobius forgot Elysia was there for a moment, thus her smile disappeared. "Anyways, if we keep wasting our time attacking the dragon pointlessly, the enemy reinforcements will surely catch us off guard… we need a proper plan to exploit its weakness."

"....." - Elysia observes everything, but she can't work on a plan.

Meanwhile, you, from the distance with your transport ship, soon to get in conflict with Benares alongside with the Valkyries, attacking ships, still working on a plan based on the limited information you have gathered so far.

Benares has an extremely strong layer of scales to defend herself, only the heavy weapons in close range could have hoped to damage the scales. But the problem would be her attacks, which she has a lot. It is unclear to say if she has any more trick up her sleeves… nevertheless, the battle has to be done soon before the enemy could have arrived.

To do so, you ordered half of your men on the ground to relocate themselves on the other side of the mountain, safe from both Benares and the snowstorm, in order to ambush the enemy's reinforcements. The time is limited, but the snowstorm was slowing the enemy down so your men might have actually made it.

Finally, a plan appeared in your mind, hopefully it will manage to bring the mighty dragon down to her knees.

You contacted all the Valkyries and told them the plan.

There's only 20 Valkyries left fighting. Luckily, numbers do not play a vital role in this plan.

"What? Are you serious? Captain?" - Kiana asked. "This is too risky."

"Not like we have much of an option to begin with… But I see a potential breakthrough of the current situation." - Fu Hua said.

"Even you? Class monitor?"

"We don't have much choice to begin with… Let's follow Captain's orders." - Himeko said, encouraged the others to do the same.

"I agree, only the Captain's plan seem viable now." - Bronya said.

All of the Valkyries prepared themselves once more, this time with their morale reinforced, they waited for each other while holding Benares at its spot.

Then, at the same time, they all took some steps back, creating more space around Benares, the dragon immediately tries to fly away by spreading her wings out, but was stopped by the heavy weapons that Hyperion's men has to offer, they all aimed for a shiny spot on Benares' chest, they did some damage, but still not enough, some cracks could be seen on the protection.

Then, all the ranged Valkyries opened fire at once, focusing their attacks on that spot of Benares, while the remaining Valkyries rushed forward to Benares.

In the struggle of her pain, Benares tried to swing her tail around, pushing the advancing Valkyries. The amusing amount of ammunition everyone has to offer to Benares was enough to distract her within these short but valuable times.

After the bombardments from the crew stopped, many aircrafts took their chance to join the fun, continuing to distract Benares more, missiles were launched directly to her face, blocking vision.

But all this would come to an end, Himeko, Bronya, Mei, and Fu Hua were very close to Benares, and she was very aware of this. But she intends to let them come closer. Until they are in range, Benares created a giant ice blade connected to her hand and did a sweep attais  that is likely cannot be dodged at this speed.

"Sorry but we've already expected that… go ahead." - Himeko said as she quickly took her stance with the blade behind her, Fu Hua and Mei were standing on the blade, while Bronya deployed her Bunny 19-C to defend the upcoming attack.

With her full strength, Himeko swung the blade forward, sending both Mei and Fu Hua flying straight to Benares' chest. And Bronya's Bunny 19-C took the attack, but managed to minimize the damage of it, protecting both Himeko and Bronya.

Now the rest is left to Fu Hua and Mei, everyone else, including you are watching.

They were so quick, none of Benares' abilities would have stopped them now. The only thing she could do is believe in her protection.

Fu Hua raises her fist, ready for a punch, a devastating one.

Benares don't expect much. But, she didn't know anything. That a fellow friend of mine is putting his knife right next to my neck, and he is a huge Fu Hua simp.

Fu Hua's punch shattered the scales protecting her chest, revealing a large crystal buried in her flesh. It would appear to be her weakness.

Fu Hua has done her part, now it's up to Mei. She thrusts her blade inside the crystal, some strong Honkai energy could be seen leaking out from it the moment the blade went inside. But Mei did not stop, she continued pushing her blade, as much as possible.

That is until Benares uses her claws and sweeps them off of her body, Fu Hua protects Mei there by dragging her away first.

"Are you alright?" - Fu Hua asked as she looked at Benares who covered the wound and the crystal with her hands.

"I'm good, but that is not enough… not deep enough!" - Mei said, as she worried looking at everyone down there.

"No, Mei, you've done plenty." - You said, as Benares fell on her knees. She lost her strength quickly, and fell on her back.

"We did it!"

"Not yet! Finish it quick!"

The rest quickly rushed to Benares. They have to kill it before reinforcement arrives. But before they got close to Benares, small black holes appeared, all revealed around the weakened Benares, preventing all from approaching her.

"This is… Herrscher of the Void!"

"Everyone, fall back, now!" - You said.

"We are so close to finishing it, let us do this, Captain!"

"No! Fall back now! Something's coming!"

The void lances, belonging to the Ruler of the Void launched out from the blackholes, injured the Valkyries close within the range, and acted as a protection to Benares. Making all further approaches impossible.

"Fire!"

The lances would block the bombings to Benares.

Herrscher of the Void has interfered in this fight. And things seem dire now, as many would know this wouldn't be the only thing the Queen will do.

But what can they do more? Hyperion is down, most of its weapons can't be activated. Half of the Valkyries are down, the remaining ones can't even fight much, and the ammunition is running low.

The Honkai beasts horde reinforcement from the west side of the mountain is breaking in, Mobius alone wasn't enough to hold them all back, she retreated back to a more advantageous position.

"Come on…. Think, think! What should we do!" - You said as you looked outside, both watching your men and the surrounding, in case the Queen appeared.

"Calm down Captain!"

The others are falling back, due to the lances and the enemy reinforcement.

"This could be our end…" - One of the troops in the artillery squad collapsed.

"Stand your ground soldier! We shall not falter in front of the eyes of our enemy!" - Their commander tried to raise the morale among the remaining troops, but it didn't seem to be effective.

And it has come, the most feared thing to happen now.

The Queen has come, she descended from the skies slowly, as the snowstorm stopped immediately when her presence was known.

"So that's her… the Ruler of the Void…" - You said as your ship was close to her.

Meanwhile, at Marika's command, the reinforcement crew is making their way to the mountain with utmost speed.

"Okay, ready?"

"Aye aye."

"CHARGEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!"

"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD-"

The Honkai cultists, a massive army to say the least, all charged out from the trees, from the hidden foxholes, with guns and blades, prepared to destroy the reinforcement.

All were disappointed when… they found out that their enemy was using flying ships… and now hovering over their head.

"..."

And they aren't equipped with anti air guns.

"... Uh… what now?"

"Go home.. I guess?"

"... Good, I still have some foot pics to fap to."

Meanwhile, on the flagship of this fleet, on which Marika is.

"Keep it at this speed and we shall arrive there about 20 minutes later." - One of the navigators reported to Marika - The commander in charge of this reinforcement fleet.

"Very well. I'll tell everyone to prepare." - Marika said as she turned around, getting into the elevator and descending.

She then proceeded towards the hangar, where most of the Valkyries are gathered.

Marika's presence made everything organized and quick, but everyone's morale was great.

"Seems like you all are prepared." - Said Marika, who comes down to the hangar by the lift.

"Yes, things seem ready now. Let's hurry and save Hyperion." - One of the Valkyries' Captain said.

"Fire Wolves ready, at your command, Great Angel!"

"Mortal Axes ready to butcher all kinds of filthy melee enemies on the battlefield!"

"Schicksal's 146th Titan crew ready to be deployed!"

"Schicksal's 153rd Titan crew is ready to stomp these little shits!"

"The 478th, 521st, 524th, 548st artillery squads at your service!"

"Pure Angels are ready to stalk yo- I mean cleanse the battlefield of our foes!"

"Good to see that you guys are high spirited. I am grateful that you wonderful warriors have aided me on this trip." - Marika said with a gentle smile on her face while her eyes closed. "Thank you."

Her smile made everyone's heart skip a beat. And tons of photos were taken by the Pure Angels, they couldn't afford not to save that smile.

"Anyways, I'll go around and check everything again while we're not there yet. Be careful, guys." - Marika turns around and goes into the ammunition area. Some soldiers are there to carry these boxes out, but she was just there to simply check.

Oh, also, accompanying her for the whole time is that one girl who discovered her secret, Marika kept her close in case she ran away somewhere and tell the others her secret.

"Ah… Theresa… Just wait for a little longer… I'm coming for you." - Marika bites her fingernails, does a scary smile, while proceeding forward.

"... I want to go home and eat some pizza." - The girl said.

Back to the mountain.

Her appearance made all resistance to fight off the enemy forces stopped. All of them locked their eyes on the Void Queen, descending down from the clouds as if she was a God.

They are beaten up pretty badly now. Yet, the final boss came for them. With no sign of reinforcement for them yet, things are depressed for now.

But you are the one who broke the silence.

"Fire!"

The auto gun on the small ship which quickly approaches the Queen and hovers around her opens fire. 

These bullets, as expected, did not do any damage, but it restored the spirit of some people down there, slowly, it would spread to the others.

"Everyone! Stand your ground! We shall not be shaken! The enemy has come for us, it is our duty to give them our welcome!" - Your message was sent to everyone.

The other fighting ships quickly join you on the skies as well. From the ground, many guns are directed at the Queen.

"Judging from this scenario… the melee team is useless for now. We can't reach her." - Fu Hua said as she stood with the other Valkyries.

"No, we still have a horde to welcome." - Himeko said, Fu Hua turned at her and saw Himeko prepared her blade before charging towards the horde of beasts that broke through the defensive line. "Melee squads! Charge forth!"

The beasts clashed with the Valkyries. They were pushed back immediately, completely different when facing Mobius alone, or the entire defensive line. They are dealing with Hyperion's most elite combat force.

"..."

"What's wrong, Mobius?" - Elysia asked.

"There's something odd… These beasts." - Mobius looked at the paths they took. As well as the overrun remaining of the defensive line, and her weapons. "They're unusual."

"?"

"Push them back! The artillery squads will handle them once we got them in one place!" - Himeko does an overhead strike, killing another beast.

But she faces another bigger beast which is much more dangerous and furious than the killed ones. To her, this is nothing to be worried about. As long as she still got a weapon, these vile beasts can only wish to harm her…

She thrust her blade into the beast's large, wide-opening mouth and swung it to her left, expecting to kill it swiftly.

But it did not go like that. Her blade, once again, broken. Only the handle got out with a piece of the blade attached to it. The rest of the blade… Was seen inside its mouth. It left a deep wound inside the mouth, but that wasn't enough to kill the beast.

The beast quickly chews the blade in its mouth, breaking it into many pieces before swallowing it. Its mouth is full of wounds, due to the sharpness of these blade fragments.

"What the…"

"Watch out! Major!"

Himeko let her guard down for a moment, and the beast uses its right arm with some big claws to attack her. Luckily, a Valkyrie got there and used her big hammer to parry that attack for her.

"Thank you, you saved me there." - Himeko jumped back with the Valkyrie, while observing the beast, she also threw the handle away since it's useless now.

"What's up with that thing… It's not normal, it even broke your blade." - The Valkyrie said.

"If there are more like it in the enemy lines… we're-" - Himeko looked around and was terrified by the view. Many Valkyries have been lost within the enemy lines, more like they got overrun by the smaller ones. While the rest are falling back slowly, including Fu Hua.

"Major! There's something odd with these beasts! They're not normal! Our weapons…" - One of the Valkyries, whose voice sounded horrified, quickly said, but the message was interrupted by these howls of the beasts.

"Everyone! Fall back now! I'll request fire from the artillery now!" - Himeko said as she took a step back, before contacting with the others, she looked at the beast she fought again.

Surprisingly, its arms, which were supposed to have the hands that have big claws on it, were replaced by two big, sharp blades. If it wasn't because of the wound at its mouth, Himeko wouldn't even believe it's the same one.

Even more surprising, these blades… were very similar to her broken blade.

They couldn't afford to stay in the bombarding area any longer, so they took their time and ran off quickly. Big shadows covered the paths, they looked at the skies to see what's happening, and they got even more terrified.

These air fighters… the ships… including the Captain's… all are falling down. Yet the Void Queen still stands there. Gazing at these insects beneath her.

"Pathetic technology… Couldn't even make me move away from here." - The Void Queen whispers. "Oh… Bella… They have done quite a lot of terrible things to you… Don't worry… I shall avenge you."

They all fell to the ground, some fell straight into the artillery squads, resulting in breaking their formation, and reducing the effectiveness of bombardment on honkai beasts.

The beasts survived, even though the numbers were reduced by half. They continued to charge towards the Valkyries, and some of them targeted Benares.

"I didn't order these." - Herrscher of the Void moves her fingers. Void lances rain on these beasts.

And then she closes her eyes for a moment. Trying to gain control of the swarm by using her Herrscher power.

But they couldn't get controlled.

Something like this shouldn't be possible.

The Void Queen opens her eyes when she thinks about the only explanation for this.

Honkai beasts are simple, they are like wild animals, when the-

Boom.

A missile hit the Void Queen, and exploded on impact.

Everyone on the ground was surprised. They didn't fire that missile.

Has the missile damaged her?

The answer is no. As soon as the smoke from the explosion faded, the Void Queen would be seen unscratched.

But she has moved. And she looked around, where the missile may have come from.

"Let you all wait long enough." - Someone contacted the crew's communication network. And since Schicksal's network is shared within the organization itself…

This means one thing…

"As the commander in charge of this reinforcement fleet, I, Marika, declared that we join Hyperion in this battle." - Marika said, as she stood on the bridge with the Valkyries' Captains.

"Marika… The Great Angel."

"Help arrived! Come on! Let's get ourselves up! We got a chance to win!"

"Push them back! Do not allow them to advance any further!" - Fu Hua charged into the swarm of beasts, carefully but swiftly defeating them.

The ranged Valkyries, artillery squads, all opened fire on the beasts and the Queen.

"Firing more missiles. Targeted the Queen."

"Turrets ready. 300 meters until the target gets in range."

"Carriers ready to be deployed."

"Let's get them… I'll leave the control of this fleet to you, Elisa." - Marika turned around and pat the shoulder of Pure Angel's Captain, who had a stroke when she got touched by Marika.

"Y- Yes…."

No one noticed she has a stroke except for that Valkyrie girl.

Marika went into the elevator with the others, and proceeded to the hangar and got onto one of the carriers, ready to be deployed on the battlefield.

Shots fired, missiles launched from the ships, the Void Queen opened portals and directed them back to the sender.

"Damn insects… Can't even stop the reinforcement. Must I do everything by myself?"

While everyone is fighting, there are some people rescuing the survivors of these crashed ships.

You, and Jarek opened the door and got out safely, it seems like your luck saved you once again, not a serious injury could be seen on you or him.

"Seems like support arrived sir." - Jarek said as he pointed at the fleet approaching from a distance.

"Yeah… Let's get this over with. Follow me. Grab a gun." - You took a pistol out and ran to where the fights were happening.

"Captain! You're alright!"

"Yeah! Push them back fast! We shall try to finish Benares first!"

"That would be impossible sir… The Herrscher denies all harm to her executioner."

"Then try harder, I am here. Don't worry."

The carriers took off from Marika's flagship and descended on the battlefields.

Instead of deploying them after the carrier landed, or using a parachute like any sane person would do, the Valkyries chose to jump while they're in the air, and on top of the enemy's formation.

These landing Valkyries reinforcement was a great help in exterminating these beasts, although artillery is useless because of them, but now, it's definitely way more better.

Also, infantry were deployed, they set up the heavy weapons, and fending off the beasts at the same time.

"FUCK! IT ATE MY SILVER SWORD!" - One of the soldiers panicked. "HELP!!!!!!"

Before that beast could kill anyone using its new armed-sword, a shovel to the face killed it.

A soldier in a dark, long trench coat with a gas mask continues to hit it with the shovel, not stopping even when it has died.

"Jeez! Thank you Hans!"

"*gas mask noises*"

"Yes… I am wrong. Shovels are useful."

"*happy gas mask noises*"

At the same time, one of the lines separated from the main formation, surrounded by a horde of honkai beasts, is rescued by Marika and the other Captains. They landed safely and wiped clean the area of the filthy beasts.

Marika faced the strongest one in this horde. It has a hard skin, also its right arm is shaped like a lance.

"..." - Marika carefully observes it. The lance's shape and material were certainly a Valkyrie's weapon. Just the color is replaced by the filthy pale gray color, looking lifeless and boring.

The beast charges forward and thrusts the lance, it has an incredibly fast speed. Fortunately, Marika deflected the attack with her blade. She simply drew her blade to do it, with very little effort to deal with that opening attack.

But Marika still felt the impact of that attack sent to her arm when her blade received it.

".... There's no doubt. This creature… I don't know how, managed to copy Schicksal's combat lance designed for Valkyries, perfectly." - Marika said as she moved forward and severed the connection between the arm and the lance.

The lance fell to the ground, and the beast fell back.

"Retrieve that later." - Marika stopped one of the Valkyries picking up the lance, as she wanted to finish the creature first.

To her surprise, the beast did something she did not expect. It is devouring the remaining of its own allies. Body parts, organs, even drinking their blood… The horrific scene reminded Marika of something similar… As if watching someone eating after days of starvation.

Even more, the severed arm grew back, and took the form of the lance again, although it does not look the same as before… and it looks slightly less durable.

Before things could get even worse, Marika leaped and cut its head off, she also thrust her blade through its heart just in case, and cut off all of its limbs.

"Commander Marika!"

"It's… Dead."

"Yeah." - Marika said as she wiped the blood off her blade. "I have never seen something like this before…"

The arms that are shaped like lances are decaying… right after the beast died.

"We are grateful for your help! Please help us further on fending the enemies off!" - The soldiers asked for help from the Valkyries.

"Don't worry, we are here to assist you guys. I want to see the ones in command of Hyperion. We need to make a proper plan to take our enemy down…" - Marika looks at the skies.

Herrscher of the Void redirected the missiles launched to her back to the other missiles. Then she opened tons of void portals surrounding her, void lances could be seen peeking out from them. She aimed all of them down the ground.

"First, I'll need to take care of them."

The Queen knows very well, breaking the chains of command will be a massive hit to her enemies. And she intends to do so, by raining the lances down and try to kill as much as possible.

"Incoming!!!!"

"Get down, Captain!" - Theresa dragged you down and activated the Oath of Judah, the spears launched out from it deflected the void lances in a small area, but saved many people.

The lance's rain did surprisingly little to no damage, due to how strong the resistance is, and how the enemy forces are weakened.

"This is our chance, if we concentrate all the firepower… we might be able to take her down for good!" - You said.

"No, Captain… It will never be enough…" - Theresa said, her face showing a bit of fear towards Herrscher of the Void. "We need something more than simply firepower…"

Theresa looks at the Oath of Judah. She asks herself.

Should I…

But there are so many allies around, and the Ruler of the Void is not in range. There will be great risks if she attempts to use Judah's true power.

To everyone's surprise, the Void Queen descended. She went to lower heights, much closer to the ground.

She stopped right above Benares, which is not close to the Schicksal's forces. But this act has stopped the ships from firing at her, fearing they'll hit their allies.

"...."

The Queen stares at Benares, laying painfully on the ground. And then she looked at her enemies.

"What's wrong? Aren't you trying to kill me? Come."

She provoked the battle spirit of the Valkyries, they rushed towards her from the crowds, weapons ready. But the Queen's face doesn't change the expression… Even for just a bit.

She does not fear.

Using her powers, she has created cubes using the snow, and launched them at the upcoming Valkyries, from the ground, these attacks were unforseen. These cubes were hard. Couldn't believe they were made from snow…

"Argh!"

There's still more, in better shape than those before, and more powerful. The Queen blasted them away using the combination of shockwaves and the cubes.

Also creating void portals, raining the void lances on her foes once again.

This time, there were a lot of casualties, because the Valkyries weren't there to help them deflect the lances. Many big guns were destroyed, many died, and many more injured…

"It's the end… I'll make sure you get wiped out." - The Void Queen said. Opening a big portal behind her. "I will send a part on the surface of the moon here… It'll be big enough to crush all of you."

Many stand up and raise their guns, some even go as far as throwing their knives at her. But she sent another shockwave to knock these people off.

Just right when she was going back to extracting the rock on the moon… She saw someone, still standing and walking towards her.

"Captain…" - Jarek, on the ground saw you going away.

"It's over, Herrscher of the Void! As the Captain of Hyperion, I will stop you here!" - You shouted as you pointed the pistol at her.

"Shit shit shit WHAT AM I DOINGGGF!!!!!????? IM GOING TO GET FUCKING KILLED!!!!!? AT FIRST I WAS GOING TO CRAWL ALL THE WAY HERE WITHOUT HER GETTING ALERTED BUT NOW I ALERTED HER MYSELF

I WANTED TO TAKE A SNEAK SHOT THAT COULD MAYBE TAKE HER DOWN, NOW THINKING AGAIN, THAT WAS STUPID AS FUCK!

EVEN MISSILES DID BITCH TO HER, HOW AM I GOING TO DEFEAT THE LITERAL GOD WITH A MERE PISTOL NEKDUDHSKSJ

ALSO IT IS WINDY, AND THE SUNLIGHT GETTING INTO MY EYES AREN'T HELPING ME AIMING AT HER ACCURATE, SHIT'S GONE DOWN FOR REAL THIS TIME Y/N!!! MAYBE IT'LL BE THE END OF BULLSHITTING MY WAY TO THE TOP!!!!

JAJDHDJS ARRGHHHHH!!!!!?!"

"Hm…"

You are surprised to hear something, sounds like the Queen chuckled a bit.

"Very well… You have quite the balls to stand in front of me… mere mortal." - The Queen said while looking at you.

"...."

"Captain… What are you doing…" - Kiana getting up from afar, looking at the situation with the others.

"I will give you one chance. Hit me in one shot. Even if it hit my protection, I will maybe reconsider and let half of you live." - The Queen said.

"Promise?"

"I said maybe."

"Fuck." - You thought to yourself. "Here I go…"

You aim carefully.

"Give me your best shot!" - The Queen said with a smile of victory.

"Go Captain!"

"You can do it!"

"Gooo!!!!"

"Captain!!!!"

You fired. The only shot that brings along the hope of almost everyone here…

Missed.

Like a few meters away.

Everybody was left speechless, and… disappointed.

"Hahahaha…." - The Queen laughed. "Too bad, back to dyi-" - She paused for a few seconds.

"...?"

She does nothing but… stay there. And slowly turn her head around. Those who are close can see very well…

She is sweating… out of fear. She looks mentally panicked as she kept looking at whatever she is looking at.

And moments later, she started to shake. And quickly got down to Benares, put her hand on the dragon and teleported away from there with a portal.

The Queen.. Has retreated for whatever the reason is.

"...."

"...."

Everyone, including you, is speechless right now. But after a few moments…

"He actually did it…"

"By the gods…"

"...... ALL HAIL CAPTAIN Y/N!!!!!!!! HERO OF SCHICKSAL!!!!!!!!"

Everybody cheered out of pure joy, and relief, after all, death was at their doorstep seconds ago.

Hours later.

Schicksal’s HQ, Otto’s office.

“Ah yes yes. So next Monday ok? I’ll send some dudes there to fix the windmill.” - Otto is talking to someone on his phone. “Yeah yeah, I’ll come later. Don’t worry. Yeah.”

Amber opened the door, however she opened slightly and just peeked. Because she doesn't want to see Otto’s cock.

“The coast seems clear. Overseer is on the phone. Cock not found.” - Amber thought to herself before closing the door, and took a deep breath. Then she opens the door.

And Otto is still on the phone, yet his hand is patting the sleeping cock on his lap.

“Gawd damn it.” - Amber thought. “My lord, there has been reports from Hyperion and its reinforcement fleet left hours ago.”

"Ah, I was waiting for it. Are they safe? Safety should be prioritized." - Otto.

"Some casualties were taken. But great news, my lord."

"The Captain isn't dead?"

"The Quee- N- No?" - Amber said.

"NOW THAT'S WORTH TO CEL- Ahem. What were you going to say?" - Otto calmed down.

"Uhm… Benares was taken down. But they didn't get to kill it as the Herrscher of the Void appeared and joined the battle by herself.

Put everyone including the reinforcements in danger. But it was the Captain of Hyperion, Y/n who has done something… and I quote :

"Scary the shit out of the Queen."

With a pistol.

Then the Herrscher retreated with Benares. Their strong signals have disappeared from the planet's surface. They have gone back to the Moon, my lord!"

"Oohh… Oohhhh… OOOHHHHH!!!!!! THE
CAPTAIN ISN'T DEAD!!!!!!!!!! HOORAYYYYY!!!! NO MORE FUCKING PAPER SORTING WORK TO SEARCH FOR CANDIDATES. HAHA FUCK YOU GOD OF PAPERS."

".... Uh… my lor-"

"Oh, yes that is good news. We pushed Herrscher of the Void back… good, good. Throw a party to celebrate this. Maybe. WHILE I WILL DRINK UNTIL I PASS OUT BECAUSE THE CAPTAIN ISN'T DEAD, YAY!!!!!!"

".........."

Back to Hyperion.

Even without permission, everybody started to celebrate this victory with all they got, while repairing and treating the injured ones.

No one could stop them now, as they are too happy with this unexpected victory after being put on the edge of death. But most of all, of course, the main character is you, who scared the Queen to get away.

"That was surely a miracle! The Captain himself must be a God in disguise of mortal flesh who came down here to show us the path to victory!"

"Heck yeah!"

"No no! He is way more than a God! He just beat one!"

"All hail Captain Y/n!"

People are all cheering for you. Even the most Valkyries couldn't believe what happened… but they had to, because they witnessed it with their own eyes.

Even Marika is surprised, but she has a greater good to attend…

"Th- Th- Th- Th-..." - Marika stutters. She is struggling to call Theresa while standing in front of her. "Th- Th-"

"Um… are you okay?" - Theresa is just confused when seeing the Great Angel in rumors, is stuttering. "Marika, your name right?"

"Ah- Ah- Yes! My name is Marika! Goes by the call of the Great Angel! It's my pleas- please- ple-" - Marika stutters again, and she got really frustrated and kneeled down, also bowing down to hide her face, she is so embarrassed that she wants to dig a hole deep enough to bury herself in now.

"Just… ahaha… are you alright? Marika?" - Theresa pat her shoulder.

"BWKDKDJWNENDKES SHE JUST CALLED MY NAME AGAINNNN SJĐÉ SHE IS TOUCHING MY SHOULDERRRRR JDJDSHSJSK"

Inside Marika's minds. Several personalities of her are arguing.

Prideful one : Stop acting like this! The image of the Great Angel would be shattered!

Shameless one : meh

Simping Theresa one : OH MAH GAWD TJEJDNDKSKS THERESA CALLED OUR NAME AHAINBDHAHSHS SHE IS SO CUTESEE ARRGHHHHH

Segs one (Kept in a cage) : UWWOOOGGGHHHHHH KIDNAP SEGSSSS MAKE HER PREGNANTTTTT UWOOOGGGGG

Shameless one : girl u ok?

Prideful one : fuck you all

That one braincell : step aside, let me…

Back to reality.

Marika held Theresa's hands.

"It is a pleasure for someone like me to be at the service of the Overseer's granddaughter. I hope we have been a good help to your crew." - Marika said, and she kissed Theresa's hand. *also sniffing it really hard*

"Ah… It's good It's good! We really appreciated your help! If it wasn't for your force, we would have been damaged more seriously." - Theresa said as she smiled.

"Ah… I could die right now…"

"Eh?"

"Ah I mean nothing…"

And so, the connection between them begins to grow…

Back to you.

"So the extraction crew will be here tomorrow to retrieve Hyperion…" - You said.

"Yes sir." - Jarek was the one who reported to you.

"Oh well. At least we're still here, right?"

"Yeah… with this victory… Captain. You really are our savior. We all are willing to lay our lives down for you." - Jarek said.

"...

This luck has been nothing but of trouble to me… one after another… at this rate, not only me but everyone will die…

I need to tell the truth, I am just a coward… I have nothing special… my luck will run out someday."

"Actually-" - You started to talk but got stopped immediately by the Valks.

"HEY WE FOUND SOME BEERS, CHEERRRSSSS!!!!!!"

"JAJSJPQODBD!!!!!"

You were forced to drink.

"Haha…."

And so, the sun sets itself out of the horizon. Marking the end of this day, where mankind has made an outstanding victory against Honkai.

But at the same time, an ancient force will be awakened once more…becoming a threat to both sides.

Arc City. Society of Snek's HQ.

"Based on our intels, Herrscher of the Void is defeated. We can at least assume so." - Jackal reads the report papers.

"Such a thing shouldn't be possible… It took both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy almost everything to kill her back in the 2000s." - Shadow said. "And they managed to do it in less than a day? With only some casualties?"

"Shadow, if you have doubt, you could check Hyperion's strength by yourself." - Grey Snake said. "However, I don't think you'll be able to, if it is true."

"You don't need to provoke me, Snake. I wanted to check the rumors of the Captain anyways… It'll be interesting."

"Front door breached." - The robotic voice went off as a loud sound could be heard in the meeting room.

"What th- All units, initiate defending protocol level 3!" - Jackal gave the order.

The cyborgs, the mechs were all deployed to where the intruder was.

Even Shadow and Grey Snake are there. To their surprise, after the smoke of dust went off… the figure standing there wasn't someone they'll be expecting to see again…

"Sire…"

End of Chapter 6
