Chapter 121: I Will Be Strong

Adelheid looked at her level and she was already level 78, her stats is comparable to S-rank valkyries already and her immunity in honkai energy can give her a ton more stats by empowering her body.

And the ID she was in right now was teeming with it. So much honkai energy is inside that even A-rank valkyries could get corrupted in due time.

"Better use it to my advantage then." She activated her battle suit and absorbed tons of it. Overflowing her reserves, she then forcibly absorbed more and she started to glow menacingly.

"Damn, this is addicting. Thank you Ein-san, now I don't have a problem with low energy." She felt wonderful and she could see her stats skyrocket. Her holy blood got replenished immediately, along with her energy.

The suit glowed a crimson red and a voice resounded in it. "Honkai energy, charged at 100%. Entering sanguine angel mode." It took a lot of her blood, but because it replenishes it. The phenomenon was hardly noticeable.

The blood then flowed onto her back and turned into crimson wings, a storage of the holy liquid of the Schariacs that are now weapons to fight in combat.

"Woah... That's freaking cool!" It then coated abyss flower. She then thought of how she could use it further. "Maybe I can mould them into weapons? Like the blood raid empress Sato!?" She remembered the character from Re: monster. And she liked her the best.

She focused and turned her blood wings into swords, spears, axes, and other bladed weapons as much as she could. "Shit, that's tiring. This takes so much focus, it's like multi-tasking, but harder."

She then walked slowly and looked at the horizon. Imperators were coming in droves. And they had different elemental specialties, fire, ice, pure honkai energy. "Damn, those fuckers would skewer me like a piece of meat if I don't take care of them quickly." (pics)

She used the spear and swords of blood on her back and launched them at the group of imperators. It was slow as hell, so the honkai beasts blocked with their own attacks. But it was severely weakened as the blood weapons exploded and it rained down on them.

Like acid, it sizzled on the bodies of the honkai beasts and was stunned. Writhing from the massive loss of honkai energy and their control.

Adelheid then ran to them as fast as possible and started to skewer them with abyss flower. Effectively killing them quickly, but one stubbornly lived and it pierced her with a construct of honkai energy on the abdomen that sprouted from the ground.

"Ahhh! Damn!" She received a fatal injury on her stomach, Addy quickly threw black abyss on the last one that attacked her. She then healed herself with white flower.

"Sneaky bastard, ugh. I forgot that these guys aren't like animals." She needed to destroy then more efficiently. Addy thought that she almost died there, if it hit her on the head or her heart. She couldn't regenerate that quickly enough. "Good thing the shield redirected the blow. Thank you again Ein-san, it seems I'm deep in debt huh?" She smiled wryly and started to calm down.

A group of one armed honkai beasts then came. The son of darkness, and dawn. "This should be easier for me. They're pretty slow in the game and they rely on physical attacks more." (pics)

The blue one roared and the pink one charged up. "Shit! They don't use that normally so I forgot!" Addy raised shields to the max and accumulated her blood on it. Reducing the damage as much as possible.

Lightning then rained down on top of her because of the blue honkai beast. And the pink one fired a laser from its face to her shield.

"Uwooooohh! I won't fall here you fuckers!" She replenished the shield with her honkai energy and blood. Blocking the attacks, but just barely. "Hah, you done? Then it's my turn!"

Both of the beasts raised their huge hands and slammed on the ground. Releasing shockwaves that made her stumble while she was running. One of them then leaped and was intent on smearing her on the ground.

Addy immediately willed vines to throw her away. She then stood up and looked at the enemies. But what waited for her was one of them charging at her like a raging bull.

She planted abyss flower on the ground as she wouldn't be able to dodge on time. Then raised walls of vines and trees as much as possible. It also tried tripping it, but of course that wouldn't work.

It slowed down though, so it crashed onto her makeshift shield more softly. But not much, as she flew away with abyss flower from the impact and she coughed up blood.

"Damn. These guys are so slow and weak in the game. I didn't know they are so much different in real life." She coughed up again and healed her injuries with abyss flower as much as possible.

She then saw them trying to combine with each other. "Oh hell no!" She immediately took all of the blood she could without dying and coated abyss flower with it. Throwing it at the beasts.

"Lilium Sanguineum! The divine lance flew straight and true. It then hit them and her lance of blood exploded, bathing the beasts and killing them from the inside. Addy then fell to the ground and was getting dizzy due to blood loss.

"Hah, hah. This dungeon is insane! Enemies here could destroy cities in a few hours. I never thought they could fight well." She fixed her messy hair and fortunately had her suit. Or she would've died of blood loss. She then took abyss flower and immediately hid. Powering up as she absorbed more honkai energy while healing her wounds.

"In these IDs a stronger boss would appear after I kill many of them. I sure hope Bella doesn't appear. Vishnu, Sesha too." She shivered as she thought of the scary as hell Judgement classes appearing.

"But I'm getting stronger and stronger... This is fine, I can beat them. How can I beat a herrscher if I can't even fight a group of emperor class and one judgement class?" She psyched herself up and stood up. Relocating her newly gained stats to strength and agility. As abyss flower's disintegration costs a hell of a lot of energy. So she compensated with speed and strength.

"Oohhh, that feels nice." She clenched her hand and was already two times stronger than earlier. She then started the hunt again and with her new experience fighting real emperor class.

She mowed them down with abyss flower's insanely high base damage. As it could disintegrate you with a strike. "Warning, Judgement class honkai beast appearing." She heard an announcement and saw warning signs on her hud. "Fuck, it's time already huh?"

She willed as much blood as she could and thanked Ein again for the wonderful gift. As she would've died 10 times over already without it. The ground then rumbled. And a pointed snout appeared from the ground. "Dah'ren Mohran!? Fucking hell, Chiyou is bigger than I thought." Addy looked at Chiyou, and it was similar to the raid boss of monster hunter. But with legs instead of fins and tusks. It roared and like Kirby, it started sucking everything inside of it.

"Are these things really like this? Damn." She thought that if honkai beasts are like this. Then what about herrschers that are much, much stronger. And the one in the 2nd honkai war has multiple herrscher cores. "Tch, I guess I'll have to go yolo."

She ran and built up momentum, she then used vines to catapult herself above Chiyou and she stabbed abyss flower on it to anchor herself. Addy then started to seep in her blood into it, but the shell was thick as hell and she only heard sizzling sounds. Suddenly, Chiyou started getting bigger and bigger.

"It's starting to grow already? This damned Kirby knockoff!" She focused her honkai energy and the divine lance started to release black and white light again. "Banish bloom!" She stabbed into Chiyou once again and the blow chunked off a piece of its back. Making it roar and was trying to shake her off. But before it could, she jumped inside the hole and entered inside Chiyou. "The bigger you are, the harder you fall."

She then launched her blood like a maniac everywhere. And after she started getting dizzy, she stabbed her lance on the side. She then willed a small blade of blood get attached to abyss flower. She wanted to cut it open like with Kratos did to Kronos. She then ran as her makeshift compound weapon sliced Chiyou up like a big piece of ham. "Die already!"

She then had an idea. Chiyou's insides was concentrated with honkai energy. So she started accumulating it inside of her suit and the Soulium started creating more of her blood. It then turned into a sphere in the middle of Chiyou's hollow body. She concentrated and imagined an attack. The sphere then got denser. And when she released it, small droplets of blood turned into little missiles and launched itself everywhere. "Die you Kirby wannabe bastard!"

She was getting exhausted and the attack was very effective. Chiyou then started to slow down and with its insides laden with Schariac blood. It slowly, but surely died. Giving Addy the victory. "Hah, hah. God damn. This is insanely hard, but thank you god. Chiyou was the one that appeared." She imagined the dragon that could control ice, fire, and lightning. And she shuddered about even thinking of fighting Benares.

She then looked at her spoils, which was Exp. "Holy moly! I got more than 50 levels with that!" She was now level 131 and almost doubled her level compared to before she entered. She put her stats in and felt awed because of the massive boost. "Oh my goodness, I'm at least 5 times stronger than before!" She cheered and hugged abyss flower tight, along with her suit.

"Mwah, I love you guys so much." She got much stronger. And she recollected her memories about the fights. "Damn, that was dangerous as hell. And the next dungeon is filled with honkai beasts that are much stronger. Possibly judgement class honkai beasts like Sesha and Vishnu from the past era." She thought about it and fighting a huge ass snake that could rain down lightning and regenerate is not going to be fun.

"Hah, I need to get stronger. I can't possibly fight Schicksal by myself. I'm not strong enough to fight every single one of them like Kevin. And I even got humbled by a group of emperor class honkai beasts." She sighed and wished she could be a MANTIS like Kevin and get a cool transformation. Adelheid was confident that she will survive the meta-morph surgery because of her wish.

"Damn, must be nice having honkai genes. I am not nearly smart enough to remake the ICHOR, damned int stat. It doesn't make me smarter! It just makes me process information quicker!" She shouted at the sky, presumably Genesis. As she cursed herself for not wishing specific things for her stats and systems.

"Hoh? It seems you aren't really hiding it huh?" Ein appeared behind her and scared the hell out of Adelheid. "Kyaaah! E-ein-san!? Wh-what do you mean?" She started sweating heavily and she got scared. Thinking that she would be sent to Mobius for experiments.

And that was not a good way to go at all. "Hmm? I'm not saying anything though. Why are you so nervous dear Adelheid?" He went closer to her and she gulped heavily. "I... I just got spooked is all Ein-san. Can I help you with something?"

She gave a cramped smile that was surely hiding something. "Hmm, maybe. Maybe not. I think I would like to know what ID create means?" He gave a smirk and she got terrified, cursing herself for not thinking about that. She didn't really care about it as no one would know what that means. But unfortunately for her, Ein heard her loud and clear then disappeared into a separate space.

"Uhhhh, I don't know what that means as well Ein-san. I am actually pretty tired, if you will please excuse me. I am going to rest now." She bowed and started walking quickly back to her room and use Cecilia to ward him off.

"Kukuku~ Sleep well then, maybe I'll ask Cecilia or Ottilie what ID is exactly. Have a pleasant night Addy~" Ein waved her goodbye and she sighed in relief that he didn't really went after her and pried. But now she was in a worse situation, Cecilia might be fine in knowing she was from another world as her sister is the sweetest person in the world.

The overseer however. Would pick her brain clear even if she were to be braindead just to know the hidden secrets of other worlds. And that also included her knowledge of what would happen in after a few years time. "Fuck, I'm royally fucked. Should I run away?" She thought about it and quickly shook her head.

"I'll get hunted down immediately. And I sure as hell don't want to fight humans instead of honkai beasts. Humans can get crafty, even the weakest ones can sacrifice themselves to bomb me to high heaven if the overseer orders it." She frowned heavily and got depressed, thinking that she would either end up with Mobius on a surgical table. Or Ottilie picking her brain clean for information.

And it even got worse, as she remembered that she had information about Kallen. Information that Ottilie would burn the world for. That she is alive. Adelheid was writhing on her bed, thinking on what to do. But she received a letter and it said there that she better not shout shit like that again or she'll end up at Mobius' operating table.

As Ein noticed that she was immune to honkai energy. It didn't affect her one single bit, and that was mighty suspicious. Then the icing on the cake was Adelheid disappearing after whispering ID create.

She sighed in relief and almost cried in joy. "Thank you Ein-sama, I will treasure this 2nd chance in life greatly." She bowed to no one in particular and she felt a hand on head. Patting her softly. "Cecilia would be quite sad if you left no? And I've seen you train, come to me later. I will be giving you a teacher that you would surely like." She looked up, and he wasn't there.

--

The next morning, Adelheid was refreshed. completely prepared to have some training from the teacher that he would introduce to her. "Yosh, I can't let this go. That teacher must be some hidden expert or something. I can smell the plot oozing training montage." She took a deep breath and smelled victory.

She then arrived at the lounge of the Odin and Friends squad. Ein was inside, patiently waiting with someone that she did not expect one bit. Li Sushang. "Yo, you're the kid Ein wants me to teach? Ein, is this kid really ready for training the technique you taught me? I think she would break, she looks like a happy go lucky little girl."

Sushang hit a nerve, but she was right. Adelheid didn't really look like someone that could train the 8 gates. "Is she supposed to be my master Ein-san? I'll show you, I can take any kind of training!" Adelheid shouted and Sushang smirked.

"Hoh? Are you sure about that? Ein, let's spar a bit. I want to show her what she would be training, but I want payment for this." Sushang hugged him tight and put a hand inside his pants. Adelheid did a spit take and choked on her saliva.

"What's the technique I'll be learning anyway? It must be related to her huh?" Adelheid thought about Fu Hua's blade mantra and the sword of Xuanyuan that could sever a connection between a herrscher and the will of the honkai.

"Hah, alright. Let's go to a safer place then." Ein snapped his fingers and Adelheid lost consciousness for a moment from the sudden change of spatial coordinates. "Alright, Adelheid. Watch closely, you lack this specific skill. Hand to hand combat." Ein told her and she nodded in agreement.

She really lacked it after all. Relying on her massive stats and abyss flower to do the job. "I'll take them off okay?" Sushang started taking off her exo-suit that distributed weight to her whole body. And the weight she carried was mind-boggling.

Sushang lifted it up in the air and dropped it to the ground. "Wait a minute, I can feel something bad is going to happen." She immediately concentrated honkai energy on her legs and jumped as far as she could. And it was a good idea, as Sushang's suit immediately accelerated like shooting star and crashed onto the ground.

Adelheid saw white. The weights crashed onto the ground and exploded with enormous energy. Like a celestial body that clashed with earth. Addy felt the overwhelming shockwaves and she flew like a bullet. She then got shielded by Ein and was put in a safe place. "Hehe~ did you like that? Much more dramatic than Lee's right?"

He chuckled and Adelheid looked at Sushang that was cracking every joint on her body. "Fuuu, I feel nice. I haven't released those weights in a long time have I? Now, I do wish I've gotten stronger. I can't beat you anywhere you know? And that's frustrating." She pouted at him and started shadow boxing.

"What the hell!? I almost died!" Adelheid protested, but they ignored her. She then grumbled and decided to watch what would happen next. "Morning Peacock" Sushang punched with so much force and speed that every hit that she gave, nuclear fusion would happen between her fists and her target. Willing particles in the space and instead of fire, it was nuclear explosions.

Ein of course blocked them all without any trouble. But Adelheid was shocked by their display. "That's not Morning Peacock! Those are explosions already!" She retorted, but Sushang just laughed at her. "Ahh, my muscles are all nice and loose because of that. Let's kick it up a notch then?"

She concentrated and released the limits on the 1st and 2nd gates. "Gate of opening, gate of healing, release!" Sushang's energy exploded and the air crackled near her. Ionized by the large amount of it like a super saiyan.

"Primary Lotus!" Sushang disappeared from her position and attacked Ein at different locations almost instantly. Ein then parried the blows, or countered with his own. Creating shockwaves of epic proportions. The lands split, the oceans made tsunamis, the winds were like hurricanes that would blow everything apart.

"Fucking hell. I don't think I'll ever be able to do that." Adelheid watched on as she only saw the aftereffects of their fight. And she then remembered that Sushang only opened the 1st and 2nd gate.

"Sushang, how about we spice it up for our little observer?" Sushang nodded at his words and backed off. She then equipped her weapons, gloves and greaves. The Golden Gauntlets: Earth's Immovable force. A noble phantasm that Dark Link used, it grants overwhelming amount of physical strength that is far higher than the monstrous strength skill.

"Gate of life, gate of pain, gate of limit, gate of view, gate of wonder. Release!" Sushang said and the surroundings became calm. "I don't have a good feeling about this again." Adelheid cowered in her shield and peeked at the action.

Sushang then released her limits and the bubble universe they were in trembled violently. The space they were in started to tear, making Adelheid's anxiety rise through the roof. "I can see the sea of quanta already, I think that's a nice ending to your spar already guys..." She softly said to them.

Sushang's skin became pinker instead of red. As she was accumulating tons of honkai energy to power herself up. Her veins popped and her muscles bulged. She then started to jog, her sweat and the surroundings getting vaporized from the intense energy. Her jog then turned into a run, she accelerated even more and started to sprint. "Hirudora!" Sushang's legs tensed and bulged.

Her muscles started tearing, but with her training and new body. It healed almost instantly and she launched herself to Ein. The planet they were on exploded to dust by just leaping. She then willed tons of air in front of her leg and released them all at once when she arrived in front of him. Creating a shape of a tiger that swept away everything that was in front of it.

"Holy fuck! That's no normal daytime tiger Ein-san!" Adelheid crouched down and cowered inside the shield. As the bubble universe finally exploded from the amounts of energy being released. Ein then accepted the attack with his arms crossed. The sea of quanta made waves, washing over the unfortunate bubble universes nearby. Ending multiple universes as they got swallowed by the abyss.

She could do every technique there was in the 8 gates without opening even a single one. It was just now a massive stat boost that increased her strength massively. Resulting in massive collateral damage.

Sushang's leg then crashed onto his arms and everything was bathed with white light. Their clash was so energetic that everyone in MOTH noticed it and thought they were fighting again. "Not yet! Evening Elephant!" Sushang created stepping stones for her technique and punched at relativistic speeds.

Trying to bore through Ein with 5 attacks that left a vacuum, resembling an elephant's legs. "Gate of Death. Release! Dragon's Descent!" Her bones held strong, and her muscles being torn was being regenerated real time. She then ran again and a phantom formed around her. A black eastern dragon of pure energy.

She jumped up high and like a dragon, swooped in right at Ein and he answered the attack with his fist. "Come, Sushang! Show me how hard you've worked!" Her foot and his fist collided. The resulting shockwave shaked even the Imaginary tree, making Ein and Sushang dip immediately with Adelheid.

The will of the honkai then started to look for traces of what happened, but found nothing. So it attributed it to space quakes that happened in the sea regularly, just more violent this time.

"Whew, that was close. We can't do that often Sushang, you got lucky you could practice using the 8th gate with your techniques today. I think that's enough payment no?" Ein teased her and Adelheid deadpanned at them.

"Ehhh? But you promised!" Sushang pouted at him and he laughed. "I'm just kidding, but you've got to train Adelheid here." She then took out an exo-suit just like hers, but it only weighed you down by 500 kgs.

Adelheid sighed in relief that it wasn't a green jumpsuit and quickly wore it over her clothes. It then became invisible and felt like the suit disappeared entirely. But she felt the heavy weight all over her body and got noticeably slower.

"Hmm, maybe you could use the 3rd gate in a few years without getting burdened by it. But you would definitely need a lot of training to increase your combat techniques. You could only stab and swing your lance around. And that would just weigh you down in the long run." Sushang told her the weaknesses she had, making Adelheid nod with frustration.

"Yes, please teach me. Master, Ein-sama." She bowed and swallowed her pride, her cheats meant nothing against them after all. "Call me Onii-chan, then make a cute face saying pretty please." Ein gave an ultimatum and Addy thought she was hallucinating or something. But she wasn't and he just stared at her.

"Uhhh, Onii-chama. Pretty please, can you teach wittle Adelheid-chan?" She made cute faces and went up and beyond. Making Ein impressed with her motivation. "That's impressive, Sushang will teach you hand to hand combat while Hua will teach you how to use a weapon. She's versed on all kinds after all." He then gave her a disc. It had her face on it making cute faces and she paled.

"I've already sent one to Cecilia. She would like it no? Enjoy your training little Addy~" Ein then left and Adelheid kneeled on the ground. Absolutely shocked out of her mind. "Hehe~ He got you good there kid. Don't worry, it won't spread. Much." Sushang laughed and kicked her on the butt. Starting training already and making her sprint all across the HQ.
