You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

At this moment, the Honkai Beasts of the marine biome, along with the sea surface, are frozen solid, transformed into lifelike ice sculptures.

Anna stood before the ice sculpture, the ground beneath her feet completely frozen, like blooming ice crystals, freezing everything in all directions.

perhaps……

If Li Sushang hadn't flown on a sword, she might have ended up as an ice sculpture.

"Miss Anna, what exactly happened to you...?"

Li Sushang murmured softly, then gently bit her lips, torn between investigating Anna's changes and resolving the collapse incidents in the city.

After a while.

Li Sushang flew towards the city without looking back.

As she flew rapidly, numerous flying swords appeared out of thin air.

The moment Li Sushang stepped into the city, swords rained down, accurately killing every Honkai Beast.

Smaller Honkai Beasts were the first to be targeted by the flying swords.

First came the smaller Honkai Beasts, then the larger ones...

Li Sushang's decision was absolutely correct.

Compared to the large-sized Honkai Beasts, the small-sized Honkai Beasts are the most numerous and are distributed throughout the city, making them extremely difficult for ordinary Valkyries to kill quickly.

As for the larger Honkai Beasts...

This was undoubtedly a "sitting duck" for Li Sushang.

Even without Li Sushang personally taking the field, the sheer number of flying swords was enough to quickly obliterate large-sized Honkai Beasts.

After the flying sword had killed all the small Honkai Beasts, Li Sushang set her sights on the large Honkai Beasts, while still using her flying sword to protect the people.

In the eyes of the people, Li Sushang, standing tall in the sky, is no less than a "god descending to earth" to rescue them from suffering.

Some even went so far as to kneel and bow directly to Li Sushang, as if they were her most devout "believers".

Li Sushang noticed the behavior of these people, but she neither stopped them nor paid any attention to them.

Controlling thousands of flying swords to shoot down smaller Honkai Beasts put a considerable burden on her.

If the flying swords were to kill a small number of targets, it wouldn't be a big burden for Li Sushang. But now, each flying sword is tasked with killing small Honkai Beasts, which is a significant drain on her mental energy.

If Li Sushang's Valkyrie armor hadn't been specially designed by Otto for her, with every design element complementing her "Tai Xu Sword Qi" and maximizing the power of her various sword techniques, Li Sushang wouldn't have been able to perform such precise maneuvers.

Before long, thousands of flying swords flowed back to Li Sushang and danced around her devoutly.

Although the strength and power of the "Tai Xu Sword Qi" remained undiminished, Li Sushang's mental state was severely damaged, and her once fair face had turned as pale as paper.

"call……"

Li Sushang breathed a sigh of relief, silently dispelling some of the flying swords to lighten her mental burden.

Then, she pointed her right hand, which was forming a sword finger, at the large Honkai Beast not far away, and instantly the flying swords around her seemed to have found their target and shot out all at once.

"Next... once we deal with you, things will be temporarily over."

Countless flying swords converged to form a long river of blades, instantly bombarding the large Honkai Beast's body.

The Honkai Beast's prized exoskeleton was now ineffective, as fragile as paper, easily pierced by the river of swords.

In a single exchange, the massive Honkai Beast's body was torn apart by the river of blades, and it fell backward.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Sushang disregarded the need to preserve the integrity of the Honkai Beast's corpse and directly killed it with swift and decisive action.

Moreover, low-rank Honkai Beasts are not really useful; they are usually used to make Honkai energy solutions and other similar items. Perhaps only Delta would need a large number of Honkai Beast corpses.

Countless swords flew wildly, shooting down the large Honkai Beasts one by one under Li Sushang's control.

Even when large Honkai Beasts ganged up on Li Sushang, they only caused her some trouble, and were not even enough to injure her.

After all, if a group of A-rank Valkyries can kill a large Honkai Beast, how could they possibly hurt an S-rank Valkyrie?

After all the Honkai Beasts were killed, Li Sushang then dispersed all the flying swords into Void Sword Qi and completely dispelled them.

Immediately, Li Sushang stepped onto her flying sword and arrived at the Snow Lotus Squad's encampment in an instant.

"Lady Li Sushang, did Captain Anna go to the beach?"

"Yes, tell me what has happened recently."

"Eh? But..."

The B-rank Valkyrie bit her lip and then replied in a low voice, "Nothing strange has happened recently, but Captain Anna's sleep has been poor, and it seemed to have gotten worse last night."

"Hmm? I haven't been sleeping well? Did that happen recently?"

"Yes. Lady Li Sushang, what exactly happened to Captain Anna?"

"I'm not sure, I need to investigate further."

Li Sushang frowned in thought.

Considering what happened a week ago, and Anna's recent poor sleep, Anna's current condition is very likely due to absorbing a large amount of Honkai energy.

however……

Whether it's the events recorded by the United Nations or what Li Sushang knows, it's impossible for Anna to experience this after absorbing a large amount of Honkai energy. Usually, it would either lead to "possession by demons" or death.

To date, there is only one recorded case similar to Anna's: Delta, who consumed the corpse of a Honkai Beast.

It was only by temporarily injecting a large amount of Honkai energy into Delta that her life was saved. At the same time, it also made Delta's physique different from that of a normal person, turning her into a "monster" who could only devour the corpses of Honkai beasts.

Chapter 305 The Sixth Herrscher: Anna Schariac

Li Sushang paced back and forth for a moment.

Then she made a decision.

"You led those female warriors in pacifying the people and cleaning up the corpses of the Honkai Beasts to prevent a large-scale 'plague' from breaking out."

The "plague" that Li Sushang mentioned actually refers to "Honkai disease" caused by the Honkai energy released after the death of Honkai beasts, which usually causes a large number of casualties.

The B-rank Valkyrie hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Lady Li Sushang, what about the captain?"

"Don't worry, I'll go talk to Miss Anna right away. Maybe I can find out the reason for this change in her."

"Thank you for your help, Lady Li Sushang!"

"It's alright. You keep things in order in the city, I should be back soon."

sound off.

Li Sushang stepped on a flying sword and soared away.

The B-rank Valkyrie watched Li Sushang leave, then led a group of administrative Valkyries to prioritize dealing with the Honkai Beast corpses in the city, followed by calming the emotions of the people.

……

seaside.

Anna stood amidst the ice sculptures, and no Honkai Beast from any marine biome could escape the fate of becoming an ice sculpture. Once it entered Anna's perception range, it would be instantly frozen.

Anna, who had never shown any freezing ability before, suddenly possessed this ability. Even a B-rank Valkyrie could tell something was wrong, let alone Li Sushang.

Anna was well aware of this matter and never intended to hide it from the beginning.

Since what happened that morning, she has become aware of the changes in her body and knows what state she is in.

As the middle-aged man from the Honkai Cult said, Anna became the "chosen one" after being corrupted by Honkai energy.

In layman's terms, she became a "Herrscher".

What happened this morning was that the personality belonging to the "Herrscher" was vying for control of the body.

If Anna hadn't held on, the Herrscher personality would have been in control of her body, triggering the Sixth Honkai War.

However, even if Anna perseveres, as she uses her Herrscher powers, her Herrscher personality will continuously erode her body until it completely takes over.

And that's precisely why Anna said earlier that she "had to do it."

Using a Herrscher's power every time is like watching yourself walk towards death, and that feeling is definitely not pleasant.

"The Honkai Beasts in the city are all dead, Lady Li Sushang should be arriving soon..."

Anna murmured softly, her gaze fixed on the distant city skyline.

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure broke through the air from afar and arrived in front of Anna in the blink of an eye.

Li Sushang landed lightly and stood in front of Anna.

"Miss Anna, what exactly is going on?"

"Lady Li Sushang, please contact the Joint Headquarters—the Sixth Herrscher has quietly arrived."

"The Sixth Herrscher? Where has it descended?"

Since waking up, Li Sushang has heard about the deeds of the "Lawgier" more than once.

There was a time when she almost had a chance to fight a Herrscher, but someone else beat her to it, which left Li Sushang with a deep sense of regret.

— Li Sushang wanted to know just how big the gap was between herself and the Lawyer.

"Lady Li Sushang, the Sixth Herald is right in front of you."

Anna still looked haggard, but the words she spoke shocked Li Sushang.

Having been exposed to this world, Li Sushang knew how powerful the Law Enforcers were, even though she had never actually met one, so she naturally couldn't underestimate them.

Almost instantly, Li Sushang became extremely vigilant. While guarding against Anna's attack, she asked in a deep voice, "Miss Anna, you... have become the Sixth Herrscher?"

"Yes. This morning, the Herrscher personality revived and fought me for control of my body. Fortunately... I have won for now."

Anna smiled.

A temporary victory is nothing, but at least it provides a "buffer period".

"..."

Li Sushang remained silent.

After staring at Anna for a moment, she asked in a deep voice, "Miss Anna, what is your decision...?"

"While I can still suppress my Herrscher personality, please, Lady Li Sushang, contact the Alliance as soon as possible. With your strength..."
