Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 143 Heavenly Fire Recognition Method

"My God, how did the ancient people of China thousands of years ago seal this monster in the Netherworld?"

Even with the latest technology, it's impossible to subdue Chi You in a short time. Considering the thousands of years of wear and tear and the fact that it's the source of the recent collapse around the Southern Divine Sea... just how powerful was Chi You in his prime?

Walter was the first to react.

"It seems that its core, or even its brain, is not in the head."

"Thank you for your analysis, Professor Walter. So, can we use the Moon Throne you just mentioned?"

Walter shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Headmaster, we only have technical personnel and blueprints at the moment; there are no finished products yet."

"Then why are you telling me all this! Say something useful! Himeko, get the carrier-based aircraft moving and disrupt Chi You with all your might!"

Siegfried moved a little closer to Theresa without making a sound.

"Theresa, why don't we make a move?"

The Judgment of Heaven, combined with the Oath of Judah and the Star of Eden, uses the Star of Eden to slow down and restrict Chi You's actions, the Oath of Judah to disintegrate some of the Honkai energy, and finally the Judgment of Heaven to shatter Chi You into pieces. In Siegfried's view, as long as one is willing to pay the price, the problem can be solved.

"no!"

Theresa rejected Siegfried's proposal.

"Siegfried, if it were before, it wouldn't matter! But I just requested reinforcements from Schicksal headquarters. If the Undying Blade arrives and discovers your involvement, have you considered the consequences?!"

Furthermore, fighting Chi You, who is at least at the Emperor level, would inevitably require using the zeroth rated power of the Divine Key. After the backlash, would these two still be in good condition to escape the pursuit of the Undying Blade? Theresa didn't know.

But Siegfried did not appreciate it.

"Who cares about that! If I were to ignore everything just because Otto's lackeys are coming, I wouldn't be able to face Cecilia! The Kaslana family is the people's shield; I can't do nothing!"

"Um... how about we use my method? Let's crawl into Chi You's body?"

However, Qiong's suggestion was immediately rejected by Siegfried and Theresa.

"The children's mission is over; now it's the adults' turn to fight!"

The two white-haired men were talking, and Qiong couldn't get a word in edgewise and was even sent back.

Clearly, both Theresa and Siegfried believed this was beyond the capabilities of an ordinary Valkyrie, but Sora was unwilling to remain a spectator, so she could only...

Qiong did not listen to the others and obediently go back. While everyone was watching Siegfried and Theresa argue, Qiong quietly approached Welt.

"Uncle Yang~"

"Well, what happened?"

Qiong grabbed Lao Yang's shoulder; in his eyes, Lao Yang was the only reliable person on the ship!

"You know what I mean?"

Qiong Chong Lao Yang blinked. "Help me, Mr. Walter!"

"Don't worry, I understand."

Was it because Siegfried and Theresa underestimated her and wanted him to vouch for her in order to fight? Isn't that simple? Walter returned the favor with a thumbs-up and a smiley face.

"There's one more thing."

Qiong pointed at Siegfried's waist.

"Uncle Yang, could you lend me those two pistols at Mr. Siegfried's waist so I can take a look at them? Right now!"

Old Yang: ?

What does this kid want the Heavenly Fire Judgment for?

----------------

After Theresa finally gave in to Siegfried's demands, Walter made the request for the Dome.

"What? Going to the battlefield? And want to see the Judgment of Heavenly Fire? Walter, what time is it? Are you going to let a child go crazy like this?"

"I was just relaying a message..."

He could vouch for things on the battlefield, and Walter didn't quite understand why Qiong wanted to watch the Judgment of Heavenly Fire. According to Qiong, it was out of "curiosity," but this reason probably wouldn't convince Siegfried...

Looking into Qiong's sincere eyes, Siegfried chuckled. He guessed she'd heard too many stories about the Heavenly Judgment of Kaslana and was curious about the actual object before her. Or perhaps it was just the youthful passion of someone wanting to fight alongside the heroes of the Second Honkai War—that must be it!

Wait a minute, speaking of which, Cecilia once said that before they got married, Shigure Kira had gone to her to ask for the Black Abyss White Flower—and then they took a picture together. Thinking about it now, Shigure Kira was a real jerk. Because of that woman, his reputation at Schicksal Headquarters plummeted, and he ended up with hardly any fans there…

Thinking of this, Siegfried decided to fulfill his little fan's wish—after all, he didn't plan to take Sora to the battlefield, and he didn't want to hurt her feelings, so it wouldn't hurt to hand the dual pistols to Sora to see.

Qiong was almost laughing her head off when she got the dual pistols.

"Thank you, Uncle Siegfried, but how do you use this weapon?"

The moment Qiong received the Heavenly Judgment from Siegfried, she stared at the black and white gun barrel and the gilded metal shaft, then turned her gaze to the crimson Herrscher core embedded in the safety pin. Qiong looked at it for a long time, then couldn't help but admire how cool the dual pistols were.

"Oh, just open the safety lock."

Siegfried ignored Sora and went to comfort Kiana, hoping she wouldn't watch the battle—who knew if the battle would trigger the Herrscher of the Void to awaken?

Everyone was preparing in their own way. For example, Theresa was guzzling bitter melon juice; Yae Sakura was staring intently at her sword sheath; Himeko was directing the ship to adjust its course... There was one person on the entire ship who did nothing at all: Walter Yang.

Only Walter watched with a puzzled expression as Qiong released the safety bolts of her twin guns and struck a pose with great interest...

What was there to be afraid of in Siegfried's eyes? Only the Kaslana family could use the Judgment of Heavenly Fire. Unless the person in front of him was a qualified Kaslana, he couldn't even use it—at least that's what Siegfried's father, and his father's father, supposedly said.

"Oh, thank you."

Qiong casually connected the Lawyer Core from the Insurance Bureau, but it didn't work.

Walter was puzzled: What's this kid doing?

"It's useless?" Qiong looked at the dual pistols in her hands. "Maybe..."

"Rules are for..."

Qiong closed his eyes and tried to inject a little bit of the power to break the rules into them. When he opened his eyes, he saw the two guns extend and transform into sword hilts.

Old Yang's eyes widened. How could this be...? Does it make any sense?!

"Qiong, what's wrong with you..."

Walter's voice naturally attracted the attention of others.

The next moment, molten gold-like flames shot into the sky and condensed into the sword's body.

Heavenly Judgment - Heavenly Fire Greatsword Form!

"You can use Heavenly Fire Judgment? How is that possible?!"

The first to react was not Siegfried, but Walter.

“Nothing is impossible, Uncle Yang. By the way, I suddenly thought of a philosophical question.”

With a smile on her face, Qiong held the Heavenly Fire and looked at Walter, then suddenly put on an icy expression.

"Why do you think birds can fly?"

Walter: ...

It seems like this kid asked me this question more than once a long time ago on the Starry Sky Train!

"Cough cough cough... You you you! You brat, you actually? No, this can't be, this shouldn't be happening!"

As one of only three people present who understood the workings of the Kaslana family's Divine Key, Theresa choked on the bitter melon juice.

Damn it, how could my own student suddenly use heavenly fire to commit suicide?!

"Dad, what's wrong with this sword?"

Siegfried: ...

"Dad?"

Kiana looked at Siegfried, who was doubting his own memory: he really couldn't remember! After all, she was the clan leader, but she just couldn't recall him having a distant relative of that age named Sora... because they didn't seem to have any gray-haired relatives at all!

"Young man, how old are you?"

Half a minute later, Siegfried finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"One year old."

"Oh, one year old... huh?"

"What's wrong, Dad?"

"Kiana, is he your cousin—or younger cousin?"
