As expected, the jackal in front of the screen fell into deep thought after watching it.
Is he truly omniscient and omnipotent?
The jackal clicked its tongue, its expression suddenly changing.
If she truly is omniscient and omnipotent, wouldn't that mean she knows everything the Lord wants to do?
It's terrifying to think carefully.
However, the jackal did not choose to truly believe her, but instead maintained a skeptical attitude and continued to observe the girl's actions.
On the island, under the horrified gaze of the other party, Xingyue pointed a finger that transformed into several phantoms, and a pinkish-blue beam of light pierced through the body of the Night Owl machine.
The man suffered multiple injuries and short circuits, and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
"Why? Why don't you kill me?"
The man was fully aware that he had lost all ability to resist, yet none of the attacks from his opponent were aimed at his vital organs, which puzzled him greatly.
Upon hearing this, the girl with the bangs smiled brightly.
"Why would I kill you? Would I waste my energy dealing with a piece of trash like you?"
"Do you think it's more useful for me to keep you alive, or to kill you and dispose of your corpse?"
"this…"
That might be true, but there's still one thing Night Owl can't understand: his role with World Serpent isn't that significant, and even as a hostage, it wouldn't produce any real benefit.
But looking up at the girl's confident face, Night Owl's heart pounded; he had a bad feeling.
Suddenly, the girl moved; she shielded her eyes from the sun and looked into the distance.
A ship was hurtling straight toward the island, and on its deck, there seemed to be a figure standing there.
As time passed, the figure gradually became clearer, revealing chestnut hair blowing in the wind and the familiar Valkyrie armor.
"Anna~"
Chen Tianwu slowly uttered her name, but then his expression changed instantly.
"You, you can be good to me no matter what, please don't hurt Anna."
bang~
Xingyue lifted her high heel and stomped it on the man's head.
His face was sunken deep into the soil as he struggled, his mouth full of mud.
Shut up!
Chen Tianwu's head was buried in the mud, and he couldn't utter a single word. Even breathing was extremely difficult.
He tried to lift his head, but the pressure from the back of his head prevented him from moving.
Soon after, Anna arrived on the island, and Starmoon released Night Owl.
Anna spotted the two from afar, so she rushed over as soon as she arrived on the island.
"Release Chen Tianwu."
Anna snapped at the girl with the frilly hair.
Little did they know that a mysterious, triumphant smile was playing on the latter's lips.
"OK!"
Anna was clearly surprised that the other party agreed so readily.
“I can not only release Chen Tianwu, but I can even send him back to the World Serpent.”
Xingyue continued.
Upon hearing this generous offer, Anna's pupils constricted, and she was somewhat at a loss.
This is because her image of the other person is different!
"but……"
The turning point arrived, and Anna silently swallowed.
This is more like something she would do.
"The price for letting go of Night Owl is that you have to play with me for a day."
"what?"
Anna was somewhat surprised by the request; it seemed so simple, didn't it?
A day is roughly equivalent to two girls holding hands and strolling down the street.
But Night Owl, consumed by anger, was the first to object.
"No, Anna, you can't agree to her. Who knows what she might do to you? You can't trust her."
Upon hearing Chen Tianwu's words, Anna bit her pink lips and hesitated.
Seeing this, Xingyue took out the pendant and gave Anna another boost of confidence.
"I'll give you back your pendant as a bonus at the end of this day."
"This……"
This plunged Anna into an even deeper dilemma.
As she began to recall her time with Night Owl, aside from feeling guilty towards his sister, there seemed to be nothing else she could be nostalgic about.
After a long while, Anna's gaze hardened, and she let out a long breath.
He walked up to Chen Tianwu, squatted down, tilted his head, and smiled.
"I'm sorry, Chen Tianwu, I don't actually like you that much..."
“A life for a life. Now we’re even. Don’t worry about me. Live your own life.”
"Anna..."
The owl's voice carried a hint of sorrow as he struggled to hold back his tears.
After saying all this, Anna made up her mind, stood up, and nodded to Xingyue.
“I promise you.
Chapter Thirty-Five: Bella, you didn't want this either...
Hearing Anna's reply, Xingyue smiled with satisfaction, picked up Night Owl with one hand, and waved with the other.
Before long, several Assault-class Honkai Beasts flapped their wings and flew over. Each of them grabbed one side of the Night Owl with its beak and flew away into the distance.
"this……
Anna's expression was somewhat strange, after all, she was commanding the Honkai Beasts to carry people back...
Seeing the girl's posture, Xingyue glanced at her speechlessly.
"What? You think I'd go back on my word?"
"Do not worry!"
The girl with light blue hair waved her hand, offering words of comfort.
“I keep my word. You can still contact each other then. I will send him to a small base of the World Serpent.”
"A small outpost, huh?"
Anna's face revealed a sense of helplessness.
She had grown accustomed to Xingyue's precognitive demeanor.
Just then, the Valkyrie received a small pistol in her palm.
Anna looked puzzled, carefully examining the pistol to see what was unusual about it.
"You're weird, aren't you? Just remember, it will save your life in a pinch."
"So this is... a gift?"
Anna shook her head and handed the pistol back.
"I don't like Chen Tianwu, but that doesn't mean I'll like you. Although there are many Juans in Valkyrie, I consider myself to be sexually normal."
"Tsk~"
Upon hearing this, Xingyue snatched it back and snorted coldly.
"Fine, don't give up. I'll make you suffer more later."
After saying that, Xingyue put it back in her pocket.
This pistol is powerful enough to penetrate the Godslayer Armor, and it also ensures that she can keep an eye on Anna at all times.
In other words, if Anna becomes the Ice Queen in the future, she will know immediately. If she had to wait for the Honkai Beasts to send back a message before rushing over, the two major organizations would have already taken action, and Anna would likely have already been severely beaten.
Anna's expression also showed some surprise.
She didn't expect the other party to take it back so readily.
The chestnut-haired Valkyrie looked again at the spot where the sea-haired girl had inserted the pistol, and she seemed to feel a pang of regret and reluctance, as if she had lost something.
Before she could even think about it, Xingyue had already told her to leave.
"Alright, you can go back now. I remember your Valkyries have a holiday in a few days. We'll meet at eight o'clock in the morning in the most bustling city near Destiny."
"Huh? There's a holiday in a few days?"
Seeing that the other party was starting to ask her to leave, Anna had no intention of staying, so she analyzed the situation as she walked back.
But the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
It's important to know that Valkyries are already few in number, and the Valkyries at Schicksal headquarters have even fewer holidays. This time, their vacation will probably be several months away.
With these questions in mind, Anna boarded the yacht, ready to return to her post and continue her mission.
After watching Anna leave, Xingyue's lips suddenly curled into a smile. She took out a specially made walkie-talkie and dialed a number.
That's right. Since the Valkyrie doesn't take vacations, why doesn't she just create one herself? Such simple logic.
Shortly after, a polite male voice came from the other end of the line.
"Isn't this the Herrscher of the Sea? This is quite rare. It's my honor to have you contacted me. So, is there anything you need this time?"
"The thing I need to ask you for this time is nothing major, so please don't make any unreasonable demands on me."
Please tell me, destiny never makes a deal that results in a loss for a friend.
"That's the best."
The girl tossed a strand of hair and chuckled.
"I'm going to give the A-rank Valkyrie of the Destiny Headquarters a day off in a few days."
"Um?"
A somewhat puzzled voice came from the other end, but after a moment's thought, he composed himself and spoke calmly.
"Okay, I won't accept any payment for this. Consider it a pleasant favor between friends!"
After saying that, Otto hung up the phone.
He leaned against the armrest of the leather chair, his emerald green eyes flashing with a sharp light.
He found it strange that this planetary-level Honkai Beast was asking for a day off for the A-rank Valkyries.
However, he didn't accept payment this time, mainly because of his intuition. He felt that doing so might lead to unfavorable consequences for him.
Even so, he remained cautious and had satellites monitor Xingyue's movements, intending to get a general idea of what she was planning.
On the other side, Xingyue looked at the phone that had just been hung up and clicked her tongue in surprise.
As expected of an old fox, her intuition is incredibly sharp. If Otto really uses this as an excuse to make some demands of her, she will definitely respond...
"Alright then! I'll exchange you for your soul!"
She had just learned something from her battles with Shi Bao and Fu Hua, but hadn't used it yet.
After hanging up the phone, Xingyue looked in another direction on the island, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.
