"Liliya, get ready to protect Sister Bronya. They, they're going to withdraw all the mechas."
Rozaliya was in a panic, almost completely unable to believe what she was seeing.
Why stop resisting?
Why lose their lives for nothing?
Even if they couldn't hold out until Einstein and Cocolia's reinforcements arrived, it would still be good to kill a few more Honkai Beasts.
But now, what she saw was a group of people who had lost even the confidence to resist.
Their faces all had "numb" expressions, as if they had lost their souls.
The Headmaster from the Schicksal branch was pacing back and forth, simply doing nothing.
Kiana was wiping her nose, almost wiping it on her sleeve, while constantly dialing her communicator.
Tesla was herding the mecha squads back like little chicks, and even their most trusted Sister Bronya sat on Project Bunny. Seeing their despairing expressions, a large question mark popped up on her forehead.
These people had expressions similar to the onlookers Rozaliya saw on the internet.
But you aren't bystanders, you are participants!
After hearing Rozaliya's words, Liliya remained calm, seemingly understanding something.
But looking at the pink-haired girl who was about to cry from anxiety, her cool eyes flickered. Remembering what happened under the bed this morning, mischievous ideas bubbled up in her little belly.
Liliya changed her expression, the corners of her mouth curving downward, and "tears" overflowed from her eyes.
Her performance was as exaggerated and clumsy as could be.
But the despairing Rozaliya couldn't tell.
Like the heroine of a melodrama, Liliya suddenly hugged Rozaliya from behind and whispered in her trembling ear: "Rozaliya, we can't go back anymore, things have reached this point..."
The tearful voice immediately made Rozaliya, whose little face was pale with tension, burst into tears.
"Waaaa~ Liliya, we're going to die."
"Yes, Rozaliya, we'll die together in Sea Abyss City, without even seeing Mother Cocolia one last time."
"Waaaa! I haven't eaten anything delicious yet, and I still want to go find Sister Seele. She said she would take us to see the sea together."
Seeing Rozaliya being kept in the dark, Bronya couldn't watch any longer.
Everyone present knew what was happening, only the silly girl couldn't see the situation clearly.
As soon as Bronya comforted Rozaliya with a couple of words, she said while sobbing and sniveling: "I, I don't believe it, you're all lying to me..."
"If, if... so many Honkai Beasts can be wiped out, I'll, I'll—"
Seeing that Rozaliya was about to make a strange vow, Liliya urged: "Then what? Hurry up and say it, Rozaliya."
Hard-pressed, Rozaliya blurted out, "I'll just marry that big sister from just now!"
The onlookers: "(⊙_⊙)?"
Just as the vow was made, a phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky!
Tesla had just gotten the mecha units to settle down when she was surprised to find a crystal-clear snowflake landing on her shoulder.
That snowflake was like a petal, with five pure white petals blooming quietly.
The icy snowflake fell into her palm, far colder than a normal snowflake, causing her skin temperature to drop sharply.
It was just like the solid ice from the coldest abyss, not seeming like something of this world.
"Is it snowing?"
Tesla looked up blankly and found that fine, goose-feather-like snow was drifting down in Haiyuan City, six thousand meters below the sea!
She looked up at the originally gray dome, only to see snowflakes falling like cherry blossom petals.
Scattered here and there, the snowflakes were like clusters of white cherry blossoms, blooming with silent elegance and a pure, noble posture. How long had it been since she last saw snow?
It seemed the last time was three years ago, when Birds Nest Head insisted on dragging her out early in the morning to see the snow.
That day, the sky over Anti-Entropy was exceptionally clear, much like the snow drifting across the sky today.
"Eh~ does it snow under the sea?" Theresa asked, chasing the drifting snowflakes.
"Stupid Aunt... of course not!" Kiana clicked her tongue in wonder, not expecting there was something even Theresa didn't know. "Just like that Benares, Judgement-level Honkai Beasts all bring about celestial phenomena."
"Fine, you called Yunduo a Honkai Beast. You're finished! I'm going to tell her when she gets back!"
Theresa huffed, pointing her finger at the panicked Kiana.
"No way, forgive me, Aunt!!!"
Ignoring the two, Bronya looked toward the figure in the center of the heavy snow.
The snowflakes were getting larger and larger now, almost becoming a blizzard sweeping through Haiyuan City.
Enchanting beauty, crystal-clear and gentle as jade—these were the faint surprises at the corners of the eyes as the snowflakes fell silently with icy grace.
Dancing lightly upon the waves, she stood quietly, listening to the murmurs of the falling snow.
Honkai Beasts—Honkai Beasts representing darkness—countless crab-like Tidal Class Honkai Beasts.
And the terrifying Frost Emperor, like a malevolent spirit, tall as a skyscraper with hands like heavy hammers.
Densely packed, a vast number of Plankton Class Honkai Beasts like schools of fish.
Any one of these Honkai Beasts, if brought to the surface into a human city, would cause an incalculable disaster!
All the Honkai Beasts were roaring, but shrouded by the blizzard, their movements became sluggish.
In the midst of the tide of Honkai Beasts as tall as skyscrapers, that small figure seemed so tiny.
It was like a person looking up at a mountain peak; the difference in size was like a chasm.
What a beautiful scene.
Like a painting so pure it shouldn't be looked at twice.
It seemed that at any moment, perhaps in the next second, the girl's body would be crushed by the mountains.
Bronya's eyes were hazy as she watched the girl stand firm amidst the bone-chilling cold.
Everyone present also looked toward that lonely back with similar gazes.
What was she waiting for?
She seemed to be waiting for the snow to become even more violent.
Waiting for the goose-feather snow to cover the sky and earth, freezing all the blood and stench to death!
Waiting for the hot, ear-piercing noise to fall silent in the snowy sky!
Waiting for the smoke, haze, ashes, dust, and acidic odors to be completely cleared and purified!
Only the sound of heartbeats could be heard among the crowd.
Suddenly, at a certain point!
"Frigid Heavens' Wild Dance!"
As the snow drifted, in everyone's hazy eyes, they saw snowflakes drifting toward the heavens.
Those icy snowflakes transformed into white petals.
So many cherry blossoms.
Fragrant petals swayed in the roar of the blizzard.
Inexplicable petals fell from the sky, more and more, like a sea of snow in a fairy tale.
At this moment, it had truly descended!
The entire sky erupted with a strange white light!
The shimmering radiance made everyone squint their eyes.
It seemed as if this world was composed entirely of white cherry blossoms.
Then, with a violent swirl, the white light obscured the sky.
The ring of the blade mixed with the sound of shattering cherry blossoms, hidden within the soft patter of the petals.
Vwoom!
They only saw a single line of white light!
The strike from the most elegant swordswoman was like a beam of light tearing through the dark night.
