Volume 1: Chapter 88: Biological Battleship Hyperion

　　“…”

　　Murata Himeko silently put down the tray in her hand.

　　to be honest--

　　It didn't taste as disgusting and inedible as I had imagined, but instead had a strange fragrance.

　　If you ignore the fact that it's just a pile of vomit, it's pretty good.

　　"……you're good."

　　Yae Sakura watched as the red-haired Valkyrie swallowed all of the sticky liquid in one gulp, her tone filled with admiration.

　　Kallen gave a thumbs up after seeing it.

　　After all, not everyone has the courage to swallow a pile of vomit.

　　“…It tastes surprisingly good.”

　　Murata Himeko gave her own evaluation.

　　Then the miko's eyes became more respectful.

　　How much self-deceiving courage does it take to say that a pile of vomit tastes good?

　　The Valkyrie had no time to pay attention to the words of the miko.

　　She felt her body gradually becoming relaxed, as if the hidden injuries from the past were gradually recovering.

　　The effect is better than Destiny's healing potion.

　　Murata Himeko felt her brand new body with an expression of disbelief.

　　She was implanted with artificial stigmata at the age of twenty-something and became a Valkyrie.

　　After each battle, you can feel the groaning and pain of your body.

　　But Murata Himeko has gotten used to it.

　　And at this moment——

　　My body felt lighter after a long time.

　　“It works great…”

　　The Valkyrie muttered to herself.

　　Should we also arrange this for the students at St. Freya Academy?

　　Anyway, as long as you don’t see the production process, there will be no problem at all.

　　Murata Himeko seemed to be deep in thought.

　　"Zerg, how long can the healing fluid you mentioned be preserved?"

　　The Valkyrie looked at the small child.

　　Zerg looked at the Queen.

　　"Guga!"

　　The Zerg Queen saluted and then began to gesture with her hands.

　　“It says it lasts a long time, but the effects diminish over time.”

　　Zerg said so.

　　"That's fine too."

　　Just let the Zerg Queen make it on the spot every time you go on a mission or train.

　　As a teacher, she has tested the product on her Valkyries and found that it is a very effective healing potion that can even cure old hidden injuries.

　　Then we have to arrange for the students——

　　It was definitely not because of the idea that she couldn't be the only one to be drunk and turned into purple puffs!

　　“…”

　　Murata Himeko looked the Zerg Queen up and down.

　　"Guga?"

　　The Zerg Queen felt inexplicably frightened.

　　"Ahem, Zerg, can I discuss something with you?"

　　The Valkyrie coughed lightly a few times.

　　A queen may not be able to supply enough healing fluid.

　　We need a few more.

　　"Himeko, what's going on?"

　　Zerg blinked.

　　"How about you take out a few more Zerg Queen and go to St. Freya's Academy?"

　　The Zerg Queen brand therapeutic feeding solution is powerful and inexpensive.

　　The Zerg Queen vomited out two pieces of poop in a row and she didn't look tired at all.

　　As long as there is enough food, it may be possible to produce it continuously.

　　As a mature Valkyrie, she wanted more.

　　"Can you bring out a few more Zerg Queens?"

　　The Swarm Overlord thought for a few seconds.

　　Then he turned around and took out a Zerg Queen from behind him.

　　One.

　　Two.

　　Three.

　　Four.

　　Five.

　　Then the sixth, the seventh...

　　"Guga?"

　　"Guga."

　　"Guga!"

　　"Guga~"

　　The medical bay was quickly filled with sausage-headed creatures.

　　“…”

　　Murata Himeko was silent.

　　She was pushed to the corner of the wall, and she and the pink-haired miko looked at each other in bewilderment.

　　Swarm technology, shocking?

　　What kind of black technology is this?

　　"Guga!"

　　A Zerg Queen that was squeezed to the door opened the door of the medical room and saw the gray-haired girl squatting on the mushroom.

　　It walked out extremely slowly, then picked up the other person's collar.

　　"?"

　　Bronya Zaychik turned her head in confusion, and then saw a nightmare scene -

　　A sausage-headed creature lifted her by the collar.

　　And behind the open door of the medical room... there are more sausage-headed creatures.

　　“…”

　　The Anti-Entropy Agent's expression gradually turned into one of horror.

　　She doesn't want to be filled into purple puffs!

　　With so many sausage-headed creatures, I’m afraid it’s no longer possible to describe her as purple puffs!

　　It will break!

　　If too much is poured into her, Bronya will definitely break down!

　　"Guga?"

　　The Zerg Queen was wondering why the human had fainted.

　　It pinched the other's body and sensed its physical condition.

　　Very healthy, all functions are normal.

　　But I still fainted.

　　Moreover, he carries the aura of dominance. In this case, we cannot just sit back and watch.

　　"Guga!"

　　Turn around extremely slowly, then move your legs extremely slowly.

　　“Huff…Huff…”

　　After walking a few steps, the Zerg Queen began to pant.

　　“…”

　　Is your body so weak?

　　Murata Himeko also saw this scene.

　　She estimated the distance the Zerg Queen had advanced.

　　After advancing about one meter, she began to show signs of fatigue.

　　It's just... quite strange.

　　"Hmm."

　　Zerg saw this scene.

　　Then he looked at the Overlord that had been carried out earlier.

　　"Mm?"

　　Balloon raised his eyes slightly and looked at the floor of the medical room.

　　It put away the account book and took out a newspaper.

　　"What is this for?"

　　Murata Himeko looked at it in confusion.

　　"puff!"

　　"grumble!"

　　“Bang!”

　　A wonderful, flavorful sound effect sounded.

　　“…”

　　Murata Himeko remained silent.

　　“…”

　　The miko turned her head slightly, unable to bear to look.

　　The purple liquid was discharged from the balloon and spread onto the ground.

　　As luck would have it—

　　A white-haired ball with a peaceful face was just below the balloon creature.

　　“Hmm!”

　　Mei Raiden, who was squatting in the corner, saw this scene.

　　She covered her mouth.

　　The hostility towards Kiana Kaslana has completely disappeared.

　　After all...she was so miserable.

　　"Guga!"

　　The purple liquid covered the medical room and then began to spread out.

　　Then the Zerg Queen, which had been walking extremely slowly before, immediately began to glide.

　　"Zerg, what is this?"

　　Murata Himeko took a deep breath and stepped on the ground.

　　Nothing gross to the touch, just a little soft.

　　"Mushroom!"

　　If the queen leaves the fungal mat, her speed will become extremely slow and she will be unable to move.

　　So in order to help the Zerg Queen move at high speed, he ordered the Zerg Queen to excrete the fungal mat.

　　“It can help them move at high speeds and supply energy.”

　　Zerg pointed at the gliding Queen.

　　The speed is much faster than before.

　　As for a certain springtail—

　　"call out!"

　　In just a blink of an eye, Broken Tooth squatted on Murata Himeko's head.

　　"call out!"

　　Before the Valkyrie could react, Yae Sakura felt as if there was something extra on her head.

　　She reached out a hand and touched the top of her head, then held down a tiny creature.

　　“Slurp!”

　　The pink tongue licked the miko's face.

　　What a wonderful little fellow.

　　Yae Sakura had a subtle look on her face.

　　She still remembers the scene where the little guy bit off the big fox's neck with one bite.

　　The speed was so fast that even she couldn't see clearly.

　　"Principal, something bad has happened!"

　　The communication buzzed.

　　Himeko Murata took out the communicator from Theresa who had lost consciousness.

　　"Theresa has temporarily lost consciousness due to an accident. Now I am taking over the command of the Hyperion."

　　This was her battleship.

　　Theresa was just a caretaker before.

　　"Major Himeko, on the deck of the Hyperion..."

　　The female crew member hesitated to speak.

　　"What happened to the deck?"

　　The Valkyrie was confused.

　　“…”

　　The crew projected a picture over -

　　Many balloons appeared above the hovering battleship.

　　And at this moment, they all took out newspapers.

　　"hiss……"

　　Is it too late to recruit cleaners now?

　　Murata Himeko seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

　　"Oh no! The command room has been invaded!"

　　The female crew member started shouting again.

　　"Ah! Don't lick there!"

　　“It’s itchy!”

　　"Help!"

　　There was a sound of something falling.

　　A small creature's large face appeared on the screen opposite.

　　"Gah."

　　The little springtail stuck out its tongue and looked at the opposite side in a silly way.

　　“…”

　　Murata Himeko covered her face with her hands.

　　The Hyperion safety ship has lost its combat effectiveness!

　　If the Hyperion had not been equipped with shipboard artificial intelligence, it would have crashed by now due to lack of personnel.

　　"Major Himeko, requesting the activation of the defense robot!"

　　Fortunately, the reliable adjutant came online at this time.

　　But its posture is very subtle——

　　The adjutant was holding a broom, driving away the little guys who tried to pounce on her.

　　She saw some unlucky people being licked until they lost consciousness.

　　A wonderful smell began to fill the air.

　　The lieutenant refused to become like that herself.

　　"Do you think it will be useful once it's activated?"

　　Murata Himeko sighed.

　　These little guys are very fast and there are many of them.

　　The defense robots can't catch them.

　　"Let Ai take over the controls, and then we'll return."

　　She looked at the scene in the medical room at the moment——

　　Three people were lying peacefully on the white bed.

　　They are Skadi, Theresa and Bronya.

　　Then five sausage-headed creatures were surrounding Bronya's bed, and each queen was holding a tray in her hands.

　　Well, it’s a wonderful combination of five purples and one white.

　　“Gulp gulp…”

　　Himeko turned her head away, unable to bear to see the cruel scene.

　　"Ai-chan."

　　She summoned Hyperion's artificial intelligence.

　　"Major Himeko, Hyperion is being transformed."

　　Artificial intelligence is emerging.

　　But the AI girl's tone was a little confused.

　　The purely mechanical aerial battleship, at this moment... seems to be transforming into some kind of biological battleship.

　　It's like coming alive.

　　She waved her hand and summoned several screens, each of which displayed the situation of the Hyperion.

　　The outer armor begins to be covered with a layer of chitinous carapace.

　　The nuclear power reactor wrapped in biological tissue increased the engine's output by several percentage points.

　　The main gun parts were also covered in purple. According to the scans—

　　The main guns gained self-healing capabilities, and their service life was increased by several levels.

　　And on the purple-covered deck, the unknown creature curled up into a ball and then turned into an egg.

　　When the egg broke open, a tube appeared in its place, pointing towards the sky.

　　After a flying Honkai beast managed to break through the obstruction of the outer flying creatures, it was directly and severely injured by a ball of strong acid sprayed out of the pipe.

　　Even Ai Hyperion felt that she was becoming strange.

　　She seemed vaguely to be connected to a larger data network.

　　"What's the status of the Nexus system?"

　　Murata Himeko looked at the gradually increasing value and her expression became strange.

　　The Hyperion seemed to have been transformed into some kind of more powerful biological battleship.

　　This is a good thing.

　　It's not a big deal that the battleship's appearance has changed.

　　But what kind of biological black technology is this?

　　"The Nexus system's interface can handle greater and more stable output."

　　Ai Hyperion reported this.

　　"Then don't worry about it, Ai."

　　Murata Himeko said without hesitation.

　　"Let's go back to St. Freya's College now."

　　There are only a few survivors in Nagazora City.

　　Later, the Valkyries from St. Freya Academy will be dispatched to clean up the remaining dead soldiers and Honkai beasts in Nagazora City.

　　"Understood, Captain Himeko."

　　The AI girl disappeared.

　　Then the Hyperion, which was transforming into a biological battleship, began to change direction.

　　"Zerg, let's go back to St. Freya's Academy together!"

　　Murata Himeko had a premonition—

　　St. Freya Academy may undergo earth-shaking changes.

　　…………

　　St. Freya Academy.

　　After finishing her training today, the mediocre Valkyrie returned to her room.

　　Then she sensed her surroundings.

　　After confirming that there was no one there, a secret communication was connected.

　　"Long time no see, old friend."

　　On the other end of the communication, the blond man slightly shook the wine glass in his hand.

　　"What is the new mission?"

　　The Valkyrie's expression didn't change.

　　"K423 was taken away by my good granddaughter. If nothing goes wrong, she will be enrolled in St. Freya Academy."

　　The blond man took a sip of the wine in his glass.

　　"Old friend, I hope you can help me monitor K423's movements."

　　He raised the glass in his hand slightly.

　　"Can."

　　The girl nodded calmly.

　　"I also hope you can help pay attention to some things--"

　　The blond man projected a picture onto the communication.

　　"Hyperion has undergone a wonderful transformation."

　　A purple and white battleship was projected.

　　"According to satellite observations, Hyperion appears to be transforming into a biological warship."

　　He said so.

　　"?"

　　The Valkyrie blinked.

　　Shouldn't you have come up with this?

　　"Don't get me wrong, old friend. I have no interest in modifying my granddaughter's toy battleship."

　　The blond man raised his hands to show that he was truly innocent this time.

　　"If conditions permit, I want you to investigate the changes on the Hyperion. It is heading back to St. Freya Academy."

　　A biological battleship, to be honest, is quite rare.

　　But that's it.

　　The blond man would not devote too much energy to things that did not help his goal.

　　"What about the people up there?"

　　The Valkyrie asked back.

　　"Don't worry. Although the Hyperion has undergone strange changes, its captain and crew are still normal."

　　This was determined through intercepted communications.

　　"That's all for this mission. Thank you for troubling me, old friend."

　　The man raised his glass, toasted his old friend, and then closed the communication.

　　In front of him, there are several other pictures——

　　"What a wonderful creature."

　　Even as the Archbishop of Heaven's Will, he had no information about these creatures.

　　They seem to be enemies of the Honkai Beasts and the Death Soldiers.

　　And it has an extremely terrifying spreading speed——

　　With the occurrence of the Great Collapse, the number of these creatures seemed to begin to grow explosively.

　　The Honkai energy readings in Nagazora City began to slowly decrease, as if these creatures could use Honkai energy to reproduce.

　　Because a Herrscher was born in Nagazora City, Destiny's satellite cannot monitor Nagazora City seamlessly.

　　The instrument that detects the Houkai energy readings also seems to have malfunctioned.

　　It detected the signal of the Herrscher of the Void, but according to the readings, the Herrscher of the Void's strength had dropped to the level of the weakest Pseudo-Herrscher.

　　Archbishop Destiny thought that the instrument might be malfunctioning, but he still had to send someone to take a look.

　　In addition, there is one more thing worth noting -

　　The image of the pink-haired miko was projected.

　　Because it was taken from a satellite, only part of its appearance can be seen.

　　"Yae Sakura..."

　　He kept repeating the name.

　　Hands clenched slightly.

　　After turning off the projection, Archbishop Destiny pressed a button.

　　"Amber."

　　He called his adjutant.

　　"Lord Otto, do you have any new orders?"

　　The android lieutenant bowed slightly.

　　"Tell Rita that she needs to go to the Far East to carry out some missions."
