After a pause, she added, "No, to be precise, it's something like a [Divine Grace Barrier]."
"It seems... that was created by the power of [Restraint]."
After confirming the object, Tesla quickly alerted Kiana and the others.
"Kiana!! Get everyone away from there quickly, if those gears touch us, we're all doomed!"
"We don't know if this is a defensive measure triggered after the light barrier was broken, but it is rapidly spreading outwards from the imaginary seed within it!"
Although she didn't know what the thing in the sky was, Kiana quickly organized the girls present to leave the area.
However, the girls were already extremely weak at this point.
After the Arlene sisters shared their strength with Bronya, they could barely keep standing.
Lilia had already fallen asleep.
Bronya was unconscious, and Seele could only barely carry her on her back.
The situation was urgent; the gear in the sky was still expanding rapidly.
The effects of the constraints are far from over; in fact, as the gears expand, the impact is only growing.
Kiana is completely unable to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void.
Otherwise, she could use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to teleport the girls back to the Hyperion.
Just as Kiana and the others were helping each other leave, another roar came from the sky.
"That's... an assault ship aboard the Hyperion?"
Tesla was somewhat surprised: "Theresa? When did you go out?"
Einstein: "That's good. Now that Theresa has arrived nearby, let's get the ground troops evacuated as quickly as possible."
Theresa did indeed sigh.
"No, Doctor... retreating is not an option!"
"Bronya and the others have just gone through a major battle and are now exhausted..."
"Given the current rate of expansion of the gears, if we were to evacuate by air, we would probably be taking on even greater risks."
Theresa's words left the players somewhat confused.
Could it be that the speed at which the gears expand is faster than the speed of the assault ship?
Actually, that's not the case. The speed at which the gears expand isn't fast, but the force of the constraint contained within the gears cannot be ignored.
The power of [Restraint] is like an insecticide to the Valkyries who fight with Honkai energy; even getting close to them is extremely dangerous.
For Fusion Warriors and Herrschers, the power of [Binding] has a greater impact.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it poison.
The girls present were either Herrschers or warriors who had fused with Honkai Beast genes.
Moreover, he is still in an extremely weak state.
If they wait for Theresa to land, take the girls onto the assault ship, and then fly away... by then the power of [Restraint] would probably be enough to "poison" the weakened girls.
Many viewers are unaware of these details at this time.
But this doesn't stop them from watching the plot.
One crisis after another has made the audience's hearts jump again after they had just relaxed.
"Doctor, do you remember that experiment we did before related to [constraints]?"
Tesla's expression changed in surprise: "Theresa? You...you don't mean to..."
Theresa nodded calmly: "If I use [Divine Grace Barrier] to unleash an equivalent [Binding] power... Kiana and the others... will be safe."
"Wait, Theresa!" Tesla quickly interjected, "While that's theoretically true, but..."
"You should know what the [Divine Grace Barrier] means to someone like you who is essentially a Fusion Warrior!!"
Theresa understood perfectly well.
She also has Honkai Beast genes in her body, so she can indeed be considered a fusion warrior.
Naturally, the power of [restraint] is equally fatal to Theresa.
If Theresa used Judah's zero rated power, she would most likely die too!
Moreover, Theresa intends to directly increase the power to a level comparable to the [Imaginary Seed] in the sky...
Despite Tesla's and others' attempts to persuade her, Theresa showed no intention of turning back.
Seeing this, Tesla and Einstein were quite helpless.
Theresa has already arrived at Kiana and the others' location in her assault ship; even if they wanted to stop her, it would be too late.
Ultimately, Tesla and the others had no choice but to cooperate with Theresa's actions.
At this point, the discussion in the live chat became even more intense.
The discussion boils down to two possible outcomes.
Theresa is either dead or alive.
The reason there are two opinions is because of Otto and his previous strange behavior.
Otto is about to die, so he certainly won't kill Theresa. After all, his favorite granddaughter is going to inherit the entire Mandate of Heaven.
Another view is that, currently, only World Serpent, Fu Hua, and Li Sushang have a chance to save Theresa.
But so far, World Serpent hasn't made a move at all; Mei is probably still in Paradise with Alicia.
Fu Hua is presumably still unconscious.
Moreover, given miHoYo's nature... those who know, know.
……
The online comments section expressed concern about Eden's future.
Then, the plot takes another flashback...
Theresa's memories... are from before Cecilia died.
The background music changed to a gentle piano piece.
This music also played in the previous episode of "Eternal Flame" when Kiana and Himeko said goodbye.
Seeing this, the audience became even more worried...
Even viewers who had previously argued that Theresa wouldn't die were now subtly shifting their stance to the other side.
[No way... This is a flashback...]
[Damn it!! This is going to be a disaster...]
【Ahhh... miHoYo, no!】
Theresa with her hair in a bun...so cute QAQ
……
In the flashback, Theresa and Cecilia chatted about everyday things, including the still-young Kiana...
They also made a pact to build a Valkyrie academy with a human touch—【St. Freya Academy】.
"Just like you said, Cecilia..."
"The students of St. Freya have grown to a level we can hardly believe..."
Theresa turned to look at Kiana and the others, a relieved smile on her face.
"They are now able to decide their own destiny and choose what they want to protect."
Even if we are separated by great distances, we will not stop moving towards tomorrow!
"While... St. Freya's students do cause all sorts of problems... you're right, Cecilia—"
"This is a different kind of 'future' from ours."
"This is... the future we should protect!"
As Theresa murmured to herself, the background music changed to a mournful female chant.
This background music... also played when Himeko left.
All of this seems to indicate... Theresa is probably really going to die...
The audience has gone crazy, and the live stream chat is filled with screaming comments.
Like what—【MiHoYo, you have no heart】【Otto, die!】【MiHoYo, you dare!?】【Ahhhhh!】
These almost completely obscured the entire screen.
Eden was also on tenterhooks.
This scene wasn't very touching.
