Action location: Zone Z, high-risk area in the uncontrolled area of ​​Changkong City

"High concentration of collapse threshold detected, please be careful."

"Then...what is that?"

Accompanied by a burst of exclamations from everyone in the team, huge waves appeared on the sea, and huge silver siliconized tentacles emerged from the waves, surrounding the Hela floating on the sea. This incident was encountered on the deck.

It was Bronya and her party who came to investigate.

"careful!"

Several huge tentacles attacked everyone on the deck. Upon seeing this, Bronya directly summoned the dimensional weapon-Heavy Rabbit, used defense mode, and deployed an AT force field for defense. Although this would not last long, it still could

I can resist it for a while.

"Senior Adam, can you think of something?"

Carol said anxiously.

"I'm ready to gather my strength."

Adam held the crimson giant sword in his hand, the sword's blade glowing with flames, preparing to counterattack the moment Bronya's barrier ended.

When Lin Qi and Rite were preparing to fight back, they suddenly discovered a huge round tumor like a silver bud floating on the sea, which was held up by tentacles. Rite motioned for everyone to look over there. The round tumor gradually unfolded,

A woman with dark blue medium-short hair had several silver siliconized tentacles connected to her back, closely connected to the silver flower buds, and the woman's position on the sea was not far away from them.

"Prepare to fight back!"

Bronya gave an order and removed the protective barrier. In an instant, the tentacles were all bounced away by the powerful energy erupted from the force field, and more turbulent waves appeared on the sea, hitting the Hela's force field.

Gradually losing sight of the woman's figure on the sea, Bronya controlled the heavily armored bunny to punch out, opening an air vortex. Adam's flame blade was mixed with Ritter's laser cannon and blasted out together.

"Boom."

The joint attack hit the woman not far above the waves, and exploded on the sea. The water spray turned into mist under such a fierce attack, and floated around the area where the explosion occurred.

"Here we go, all team members, line up!"

Bronya realized that the woman was coming towards them, reacted instantly, and launched a new protective stance to resist the figure flying from the fog.

"This level..."

The woman laughed contemptuously, and after looking at Bronya's horrified expression for a moment, she quickly ran back to the sea, and her tentacles rose from the sea again.

"It's too difficult to deal with. What on earth is that?" Lin Qi held a spear in his hand and said with a bit of fear.

Bronya responded: "It seems that like Ananya, she is a Herrscher."

The woman's true identity is a member of the New Arcadia Polaris Alliance, named "Tide" Potune Oslanger. Under the order of Agnes, she creates chaos here in advance, waiting for the destined person to take the bait and ambush her.

The place where they fought was at sea, and Potouñe was confident that she could complete the task assigned to her by Agnes and let all the people who were destined to die be buried at the bottom of the sea.

"team leader!"

Ritter noticed that the tentacle's attack was aimed at Bronya, so he shot back the tentacle that was still active.

"Don't take it lightly, it's here again!"

Just as the team members were fighting with Porto, a sharp roar suddenly came from the sky, a small airship passed over the crowd, and many Valkyries descended from the sky. They were the members of the eighth unit of the Valkyries, "Leng Feng"

, rushed here to provide support. After captain Timido arrived at the scene, he directed the Valkyries to attack the giant tentacles, while he rushed towards Bronya.

"Captain Bronya! Are you okay?"

Timido moved very quickly. She wore skate-like moving tools on her feet, sliding on the ground like shooting stars.

"I'm fine. Be careful. There's something a little off about the enemy this time."

Bronya suffered some minor injuries, which were caused when the woman attacked her just now. Bronya seemed to be much more powerful than Ananya. Although they were both simulating laws of Polaris.

However, there is also a big difference in strength between the Herrschers.

"Team members, prepare the artillery array! Attack the giant tentacles!"

Timido ordered the team members to fire at maximum power. However, the giant tentacles were too hard, and conventional anti-collapse weapons had no effect at all. They could only allow the silver siliconized skin to bounce the bullets away.

"If Rin were here..."

Faced with this situation, Lin Qi seemed to think of Rin who was restricted from participating in the battle due to Bronya's order. If Rin were there, Hypernetus's flying blade would be able to kill all the tentacles easily. But

Bronya did not regret it. After Timido helped her deal with the wound on her arm as suggested, she launched the attack mode of the heavily equipped bunny and set it up on the deck to form a siege tank.

"Captain, do you want to..."

"This is the only way."

When Timido ordered the evacuation of the Valkyrie members, the siege cannons were already fired at the group of tentacles. The powerful blasting energy exploded between the tentacles, causing the tentacles to break and fall into the deep sea.

Gradually, Botu Nie in the sea seemed to have part of her body cut off, and she jumped straight out of the sea. With the huge waves rising, everyone was able to see her whole face clearly.

Half of her body, the connected silver flower bones, grew in the body of a huge giant octopus Honkaimon. She waved her severed limbs and struggled on the sea. Wave after wave of waves appeared, causing the Hela to start to vibrate.

, the external protective stance also showed signs of instability. A terrifying and vague sound mixed with mechanical sounds came from the mouth of the giant octopus. The sound was so loud that her voice could be heard within ten miles.

Roar.

"How dare you...How dare you! Hurt me!"

This Herrscher is so huge that when viewed from a distance by everyone on the Hela, it looks like a small mountain.

"That guy... what kind of monster is he?"

Carol looked at the giant octopus-like Honkaimon in front of her and was stunned.

When Bronya disengaged the siege cannon mode and entered the cooling period, the giant Honkaimon made a move. It raised the largest tentacle that had not yet broken. The front part of the tentacle was condensed with a blue light, which seemed to be

To attack.

"Hela's protective force field can no longer hold up. This kind of attack will break through the force field in one go. Timido, I leave it to you."

After accepting Bronya's order, Timido jumped into the sea, slid on the sea surface, and headed towards the giant octopus monster. Her movements were very brisk, like a ballet dancer in the water.

He jumped onto the giant tentacle, kicked it out, and cut off the tip of the giant tentacle. The laser cannon he just fired also hit him because of the breakage of the firing part.

"Ahhhh!!"

With a roar from Botu, the entire octopus monster fell into the sea.

"So...so amazing. Senior Timiduo is really amazing." Lin Qi exclaimed.

Bronya also knew that Timido's strength had grown significantly during this period, and she smiled happily when she saw her outstanding performance.

When Timido came back, I was about to praise her, but the threshold value of the Honkai energy detector Bronya carried only increased.

Soon, the giant octopus jumped out of the sea again. This time it no longer appeared a few hundred meters away from the Hela, but was close to the Hela, surrounding the Hela with its newly grown tentacles.

Grab it with your tentacles.

"How dare you hurt me... unforgivable!"

Potu showed a painful expression, with veins popping out on his originally stern face, looking angry. He leaned his human-shaped upper body over to confront everyone.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us on the sea?" Bronya asked her very calmly.

But Botuna did not answer her, but instead wrapped some of the new tentacles of her giant body behind everyone, and attacked the Hela, making hysterical sounds at the same time.

"Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell!!"

The plywood of the Hela was slapped by a giant tentacle, and the hull vibrated violently, causing the people on the ship to sway around and grab the nearest fixed object to prevent falling into the sea. The Herrscher-like attack had not yet

Stop. Her main target was Bronya, who had injured herself not long ago. She grabbed one end of the Hela with her giant tentacles, trying to turn the entire ship over and let them fall into the sea.

New Arcadia Building Headquarters for North America

Just when Portuna attacked Bronya and the others, Ace found Agnes who was walking in the corridor.

"Agnes."

"What's up?"

"I heard that you did some inhumane things to the Tide."

Ace said it bluntly.

"What inhumane thing? I just want to stimulate her potential."

Agnes tried to pretend to be stupid and pass the test. Ace's expression seemed to be terrifyingly cold, and he asked: "You know her powers, but you still want to take advantage of them?"

"Zhao Shao, you won't understand. In order to kill those people in Tianming, I have tried my best to find a way for you."

"Is this also your method of torturing 'Tide' and 'Commander'?"

As soon as Ace said these words, Agnes's dagger had already reached her neck, pressing firmly against her throat.

"If you want to make money, you have to do what I say. Before I achieve my goal, shut up."

Ace did not answer. She knew that Agnes was a sinister and cunning person. After several founders of the New Arcadia headquarters disappeared, he took over the power and caused trouble in the New Arcadia Technology.

It turns out that "Tide" Botu's Herrscher-like ability can only be triggered when she suffers physical damage. In order to turn her into a monster, Agnes locked her in a place and continued to torture her with pain.

, causing her body and spirit to gradually collapse, and then sent someone to dump the unconscious Botu into the deep sea in Zone Z, a dangerous zone near Changkong City.

In this way, Potune has lost her mind. Out of the instinct to protect herself, she has to destroy all living creatures close to her. Ace knows what he did to Ananya and Potune, as under Agnes
