Honkai: Strijder (Honkai Impact 3 Male MC)

The fortress forged by Welt floated above the sea surface, six meters high, made of high-strength solid alloy, thick and sturdy. It was equipped with countless heavy firepower weapons, intimidating anyone who beheld it.

From a human perspective, it was a spectacle, a natural barrier, an insurmountable super military fortress.

But for the giant Honkai beasts, a height of six meters was just a trivial matter to leap over after surfacing from the sea.

However, as the first batch of Honkai beasts, attracted by the worker bees' induced sound waves, emerged from the sea surface and were about to land, they were met with a surprise from human technology.

Countless heavy machine guns spewed blue flames, and countless missiles almost covered the entire sky. The frontline Titan forces, activated their shoulder cannons in unison, and thousands of light spots fell into the sea.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The deafening sound shook the heavens, waves surged hundreds of meters into the sky, turning into a drizzle as they fell, even bringing out rainbows.

It was a feast of destruction, as if the sea had been boiled, with vast amounts of steam rising from the surging tide, and the wind and waves sweeping for miles. The damp sea breeze instantly lost its salty taste, replaced only by the scorching heat spreading continuously.

Splish splash—

When the firepower subsided, the waves carried some bone-white Honkai beast fragments, slowly dragging them into the deep sea—not just in a small area, but as if the entire ocean was filled with these Honkai beast fragments, and there were no more giant beasts capable of moving on the sea surface.

The first wave of Honkai beasts' landing ended in vain.

"Is–is that from Anti-Entropy?"

"What kind of firepower is that!?"

"Could it be that all these years, Anti-Entropy has been playing around with us?"

Many Valkyries were shocked, panicked, and even terrified for a moment, but then the scene was filled with countless enthusiastic cheers.

"Awesome!!!"

"So powerful!"

"As allies, there's nothing more reassuring than this!"

"Anti-Entropy is amazing!!!"

But this was just the beginning.

The second wave of Honkai beasts soon emerged from the seabed, with a larger scale and more terrifying numbers.

They were met with a second round of high-intensity firepower coverage, once again rendering the tide of beasts futile.

Then came the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave. Anti-Entropy's firepower was extremely exaggerated, and the appearance of worker bees and Einstein fighter jets in the sky was a testament to their era-defying strength. Coupled with occasional worker bee nuclear explosions, the killing efficiency completely surpassed imagination.

But there were simply too many Honkai beasts.

The Valkyries had lost count of how many rounds of Honkai beasts they had defeated. Just as they were almost blinded by the light and deafened by the roar, the first Honkai beast finally climbed onto the fortress, after countless companions had paved the way with their bodies.

Although this brave warrior was torn to shreds by countless artillery shells in an instant, it marked the official start of the contact battle.

"Sisters, grip your weapons tightly. It's time to show the power of Valkyrie to our allies!"

"Long-range output team, withdraw. Defensive formation in place. Dagger team, go clear the riffraff for our allies and maintain the formation of the Titan robots!"

"Charge!!!"

The smoke had reached them, and facing the Honkai beasts was the duty of the Valkyries. No one would retreat—at least the vast majority wouldn't, in such a heroic atmosphere.

Numerous agile Valkyries intermingled within the Titan formations, conducting annihilation operations against the Honkai beasts that climbed onto the fortress.

The Titan forces and aerial units were also extremely coordinated, either providing cover or cooperating in attacks against the Valkyries of the Dagger team, ensuring that the number of Honkai beasts landing was kept at a minimum.

This situation continued for several hours.

After that, weapons would overheat, energy would be depleted, and the flesh and blood bodies would inevitably succumb to fatigue.

In short, the front line was gradually pushed back bit by bit, and the number of Honkai beasts climbing onto the platforms gradually spiraled out of control.

"Dagger team, rotate. Long-range team, go all out. Don't leave any gaps!"

"""Yes!!!"""

Similar scenes played out in every area enveloping the entire East Sea, and even wider circular fortresses.

Valkyries could rotate, but the Titan forces had already deployed all their numbers, with no possibility of rotation. While there were worker bees constantly performing maintenance, the inevitable loss of energy, overheating of weapons, and damage to the machines' performance couldn't be avoided.

The intensity of firepower gradually weakened, and more Titans began engaging in close combat with the colossal creatures. It was powerful and spectacular, but the rate of attrition skyrocketed, and the rate of destruction noticeably slowed down.

The Valkyries began extensive engagement on the front lines.

"For humanity!"

"Attack!!!"

The Valkyries, who had been waiting for this moment with suppressed passion, replaced the main force of the Titan forces.

Soon, they pushed the retreated front lines forward again on a large scale, giving the Titan forces the opportunity to rest and adjust their formation.

...

This was an unprecedented scene of war, and the spectators, apart from those on the Hyperion, included ordinary people from all over the world.

Yes, Sigurd broadcasted the scene to the global audiovisual devices, allowing all of humanity to witness this world-changing battle.

"Is this really a good idea? Wouldn't it cause widespread panic?"

Hera rubbed his forehead, looking quite troubled.

Sigurd sat in the chair Hera had indicated, leaned forward, and watched the battle below.

"The technological level and heritage of the previous civilization are undoubtedly much stronger than ours. Even they failed. What makes you think that, based solely on Shicskal and Anti-Entropy prowess level, we can repel the Honkai from our planet?"

"..."

Hera had nothing to say.

Should she tell Sigurd that she wasn't interested in this from the beginning? That the so-called "defeating the Honkai," "saving the world," and "fighting for humanity" were just empty slogans she used to rally people and exploit resources for resurrecting Kallen?

Sigurd glanced at her indifferently, understanding Hera's temperament well enough to know it was pointless to argue with her.

Anyway, what was done was done, and from now on, it was up to Hera to decide.

On the side, Welt, who maintained the stability and output capability of the entire fortress, couldn't hide his fatigue but still smiled gently and said, "Actually, I also think we acted a bit hastily, but since the timing is right, it's not a bad thing to let people know the truth a bit earlier."

"Huh? You, the conservative leader of Anti-Entropy, also agree with this approach? Weren't you the one who liked to be a lone hero?"

"The old me was too immature. The Honkai is not the disaster of one person or a few people; it's the disaster of the entire world, the entire humanity. Everyone is on this boat together. Only by uniting all forces and exhausting all wisdom and strength do we have a chance to create miracles that even the previous civilization couldn't achieve!"

"What if people become fearful and order collapses?"

"We're not hosting a dinner party, writing poetry, painting, or playing music. We can't be elegant, leisurely, refined, and courteous. There will always be sinister forces unwilling to accept the idea of equality and cooperation. At that time, violence and bloodshed will be inevitable."

Welt adjusted his glasses and the warmth on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by an unwavering determination.

Hera was momentarily stunned.

"Welt, you've really changed. The old you wouldn't have said such cold-blooded things."

"For the betterment of the whole world, compromise is out of the question.."

"But what if you're wrong?"

"Sigurd will correct me, and the millions of people will also tell me if what I think right is wrong. At least for now, I believe my path is correct. If I'm wrong... it's better than watching the world fall into the hands of the Honkai without doing anything."

"That's... quite..."

Hera shook her head, gazing at Welt's resolute profile, a smile of genuine interest playing on her lips.

She suddenly felt a bit hopeful. With Sigurd's abilities and Welt's determination, what kind of world would they ultimately create?

Would they be the end of mankind? Or would they be the one who created the world no one has ever dared to hope for?

If they succeeded, Kallen should also be very pleased, right?

In Hera's eyes, the deep and profound indifference softened for a moment.
