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

Seeing this, Aurora gently put down the bed that had just been moved over, and then obediently sat on the other side of Qiu Bi.

"Dad, is there anything you need?"

"Does the People's Union know about the situation here?"

“I’m about to contact Aunt Maria and tell her what happened in Paris.”

As she spoke, Aurora took out her communication device and dialed Maria's number directly.

Qiu Bi nodded slightly, without interrupting Aurora's phone call.

Maria answered the call almost instantly, the moment Aurora dialed.

"Aurora, are you in Paris, France?"

Maria was projected onto the communication device, allowing everyone to see what she looked like at that moment.

Although it's a bit blurry, you can vaguely tell that Maria is a little anxious.

"Yes, Aunt Maria, I have rescued Agatha and Galina."

"Help? What happened?"

Maria keenly caught the key words, and her anxiety became increasingly apparent.

Aurora glanced at Qiu Bi and Eden subconsciously, then recounted what had happened earlier.

Upon learning that the Fifth Herrscher was the "Herrscher of Metal," Maria immediately inquired about the specific conditions of Agatha and Galina.

He was genuinely relieved to learn that neither of the two girls was in mortal danger.

Aurora then informed Maria of all the information she had, allowing the Valkyrie forces to make ample preparations.

"It can control all metals, and it even stole Agatha's Herrscher of Flame core..."

Maria murmured something, then, as if she had discovered something, squinted and stared at Aurora's side.

"Aurora, is there someone next to you?"

"Yes, Dad just arrived in Paris."

sound off.

Aurora's mobile communication device allowed Maria to see Chubi and Eden.

Maria's gaze swept past Qiu Bi, focusing mainly on Eden's face.

Before she could even ask, Kevin's hesitant voice came through the communication device.

"...Eden?"

"Hmm? That voice... Kevin?"

"it's me."

Kevin seemed only interested in confirming whether Eden was the real person, without asking in detail why Eden was resurrected or why he left the Land of the Dead.

Looking at what Qiu Bi had done, Kevin knew that "resurrection" was not a difficult task for Qiu Bi.

Eden didn't say much either; now was not the time for reminiscing.

"Brother-in-law, Aurora, please wait a moment—the Hyperion will be over Paris soon."

"Okay! Aunt Maria, let's talk again after you arrive in Paris!"

Aurora smiled and then hung up the call.

Immediately, as if remembering something, she lowered her voice and nervously reminded him, "Dad, Aunt Maria will probably tell Cecilia about your departure from Paradise. You'd better prepare yourself mentally in advance."

Qiu Bi gave a soft "hmm" and patiently waited for the Hyperion to arrive over Paris, holding the sleeping Galina in his arms.

……

About half an hour later, the Hyperion silently arrived over Paris and eventually hovered above the high-rise building where Qiu Bi and the others were.

A beautiful figure descended from the sky, accompanied by a violent shockwave, and came to an abrupt stop in front of Qiu Bi and the others.

—It was Maria, wearing the "Radiant Knight: Luna" God-Slaying Armor.

"Brother-in-law, how are Agatha and Galina doing?"

Although Maria had already learned about Agatha and Galina's situation through the communication, she was still very worried until she saw the two girls in person.

"I'm mostly fine now, just a little weak."

Because Maria hadn't controlled the noise when she landed, Galina and Agatha both opened their tired eyes and unconsciously yawned.

"Aunt Maria, you've arrived?"

"Okay, leave the rest to us."

Maria's face softened considerably, and she reached out and gently pinched Galina's cheek.

Galina gave a silly smile, then reached out and hugged Maria, nuzzling her chest affectionately.

Although Maria's chest was protected by armor, and the rubbing felt hard, Galina still enjoyed this intimate gesture.

Maria stroked Galina's hair and said with a soft laugh, "Galina, you and Agatha should go and rest on the Hyperion."

"Ah."

Galina responded obediently, and then carried the tired Agatha on her back and flew towards the Hyperion, which was hovering high in the sky.

Agatha's Herrscher core was forcibly removed by Nina, causing him to lose not only the power of a Herrscher but also the ability to fly, leaving Agatha to carry her while flying.

Chapter 266 The Third Divine Key: "Seven Thunderbolts of Purification"

Maria watched the two girls fly towards the Hyperion, then lightly touched the earring-shaped communication device and began to arrange various matters for the "Fifth Honkai War".

"Fu Hua, Cheng Lixue, the Valkyrie squad is under your command. The main targets are Honkai Beasts and Death Knights. As for the Herrscher of Metal..."

"Get Shub, Salome, and Raven to come and support me. We'll deal with the Herrscher of Metal."

"In addition, grant authority over the Hyperion's artillery system to Colorless Radiant Fire so that she can provide timely fire support."

As Maria continued to issue orders, Valkyries began to crash-land in different directions from Paris.

It's worth mentioning that these Valkyries deliberately landed far away from Nina, even avoiding her path.

"Maria, do you need our help?"

Seeing that Maria had stopped giving orders, Qiu Bi couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Maria glanced at Qiu Bi, then at the languidly elegant Eden, and then shook her head.

“Brother-in-law, I am, after all, Agatha and Galina’s aunt. I can’t just stand by and do nothing while they are severely injured. At the very least, I want to avenge Agatha and Galina myself.”

“Don’t forget that I’m Agatha and Galina’s father. I should be the one to do those kinds of things.”

“Brother-in-law, your ability is very special—no one would agree to let you take action unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Maria continued earnestly and seriously, “It’s just a Herrscher; with our strength, we should be able to handle it.”

Hearing this, Qiu Bi sighed helplessly and could only agree to Maria's suggestion.

Maria waited in place for a while, and soon four streams of light fell from the sky, quickly landing in front of Qiu Bi and the others, creating a huge shockwave.

Aurora narrowed her eyes, and in an instant, the shockwave vanished without a trace.

"Sister Maria, I'm here to help you too!"

Angelia was dressed in a jet-black magical girl dress and held a jet-black bow and arrow that resembled a "bow of light".

Maria frowned and reprimanded her angrily, "Angelia, this is the Honkai War, not some ordinary skirmish!"

“Sister Maria, while my melee combat skills are somewhat lacking, my ranged support abilities are quite strong, not to mention…”

Angelia paused for a moment, then took a light step and hugged Qiu Bi's arm. "I'll stay by my brother-in-law's side. Don't worry about me being in danger."

"...You can't just run around like that."

Maria couldn't persuade Angelia otherwise, so she had to settle for second best and forbid her from running around.

Angelia smiled and nodded quickly to indicate that she understood.

Maria then looked at Shub, Salome, and Raven and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Huh? Please, I'm very strong!"

Shub, with a dried squid in her mouth and Bloody Murmur on her shoulder, looked nonchalant.

Salome glanced at Shub sideways, then reached out and grabbed Shub's ear.

"Shub, this is the Honkai War, don't be so careless."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Salome, let go of my ears! I'm an S-class Valkyrie, can't you give me a little face?"

"No."

Salome ignored Shub's complaints and dragged Shub by the ear toward the edge of the tall building.

As S-rank Valkyries, they cannot fly as freely as Herrschers, but their strong physique allows them to ignore the effects of falling from a great height.

Salome's leap was elegant, but Shub was being pulled by the ear by Salome, making her "jump" look very awkward.

Maria sighed and looked at the raven with its arms crossed, seemingly waiting for its reply.

"Hey! Don't look at me like that. The main force in this battle is actually the three of you. I'm just providing remote support."

As he spoke, seemingly to make his point, Raven took the sniper rifle off his back.

The sniper rifle has a very peculiar design and doesn't look like a normal firearm at all.

—This is the third divine key, "Seven Thunders of Purification".

"Although it can only be fired once, it is enough to be a 'trump card' to turn the tide of battle."

"...I hope so."

Maria took a deep breath, and then followed Shub and Salome, leaping off the roof.

The raven stretched lazily, as if it were not the Fifth Honkai War, but a relaxing and pleasant vacation.

Qiu Bi glanced at the raven a few more times, then carried Eden and flew towards Nina's direction.

As a magical girl, Angelia naturally possesses the ability to fly, as for the raven...

Aurora will be responsible for taking her on the flight.
