Amber shook her head, waved her hand to turn off the image in front of Li Sushang, and turned on another video screen instead.
"The person Your Excellency wishes you to deal with is actually this Herrscher—the Fifth Herrscher, 'Herrscher of Metal,' Nina."
The footage was filmed by Colorless Flame using the Hyperion's external camera, and mainly focuses on the battle between Maria and Nina.
While Li Sushang patiently watched the video, Amber gently explained, "The power of the Herrscher of Metal can control all metals, even the Divine Keys cannot escape her control—Lady Li Sushang, the 'Xuanyuan Sword' you once possessed was a Divine Key."
Li Sushang nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
Amber then said no more and silently led Li Sushang toward the port of Destiny Airport.
Otto had already prepared a special transport ship, and it was also equipped with a God-Slaying Armor specifically for Li Sushang.

……
Paris France.
As the Honkai Beasts and zombies continue to die, Nina's strength grows stronger.
Compared to other Herrschers who choose to directly absorb high-energy Honkai energy sources, Nina's choice is more prudent, even "cautious"—
By killing the surrounding Honkai Beasts and Zombies, you can plunder the Honkai energy within them and gradually increase your own strength.
This move has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it makes it less likely for the Valkyries to notice that she is getting stronger. The disadvantage is that she cannot quickly increase her strength and there is a period of improvement.
After nearly two-thirds of the Honkai Beasts and Death Soldiers in Paris died at Nina's hands, Nina's strength reached its peak.
At least, Nina will find it difficult to further improve her strength in the short term. Only after a period of time can her strength increase again.
Although her strength has stopped growing, Nina is now slightly stronger than Wendy, who has been developing for several months, and causing the "planetary death" is a piece of cake.
“I should go find Iserline, but before that…” Nina murmured softly, then looked up at the Hyperion hidden above the clouds, “I need to deal with these ants blocking my way first!”
sound off.
A massive Honkai energy reaction suddenly erupted, instantly altering the topography of Paris.
The original skyscrapers were covered with silver-white metal, forming metal peaks of varying heights, making Paris, which should have been shrouded in night, as bright as day.
The unusual reaction in Paris immediately alerted Colorless Flame, who promptly notified Maria and the others.
Before Maria and the others could return to the bridge of the Hyperion, the Hyperion seemed to lose power and slowly plummeted toward the ground.
"Colorless Radiant Flame, what's going on?!"
Maria rushed onto the bridge, her face already looking extremely pale.
At this moment, Fu Hua, Cheng Lixue, Welt, Kevin, Raven, Cecilia, and Lady Sylpharia had arrived at the bridge, all with solemn expressions.
“Maria, this has nothing to do with the colorless radiance, but is the work of the Herald of Metal.”
"Sister Cecilia, what does this mean?"
As she spoke, Maria looked at the illusory screen in front of the colorless radiant fire.
Then, without Cecilia needing to explain, she understood the general situation.
The Hyperion did not lose power; rather, it was operating at full power to resist the pulling force from the ground.
As for the source of the pulling force...
There was no need for anyone to guess; it must have come from the Herrscher of Metal.
"In just a few hours, her strength has increased to this extent..."
Maria's expression was uncertain; she didn't know what order to give.
After all, she had never experienced such a situation before and had no idea how to prevent the Hyperion from crashing.
If the Hyperion were to crash, very few people on the entire aircraft carrier would survive. Even Maria, an S-class Valkyrie, would not escape being severely injured.
"Maria, give the order to attack."
Colorless Flame's expression was very calm. He had already controlled the Hyperion's firepower system through the Nexus system and locked onto Nina, who was located on the surface.
Maria took a deep breath to calm herself. There was no time for Iselin to persuade the Herrscher of Metal. The Herrscher of Metal had to be suppressed with swift and decisive measures to resolve the perilous situation facing the Hyperion.
"Colorless Radiant Flame, I'll leave the fire support to you."
"Ah."
The colorless flame emitted a soft nasal sound before unleashing the Hyperion's firepower system in a full-scale attack.
In an instant, various beams of light flashed together, as if illuminating the night sky, falling from the heavens and bombarding Nina at different angles.
Nina's expression remained unchanged, and she didn't even try to dodge.
Just as the Hyperion's shells were about to hit, the metallic earth and skyscrapers suddenly began to undulate, extending thick barriers in the next moment to block Nina and the Hyperion's shells.
Faced with the Hyperion's bombardment, the metal barrier melted rapidly and then vaporized.
The metal barrier may seem like it won't hold for long, but it is actually very resilient.
Whenever the metal barrier was about to collapse, a new metal barrier would always be placed behind it, tenaciously and stubbornly resisting the Hyperion's bombardment.
At the same time, Nina silently increased the output power of her Herrscher powers, causing the Hyperion to fall at a slightly faster speed.
Chapter 274 The Great Battle Erupts
USS Hyperion, bridge.
Sensing that the turmoil on the Hyperion was getting worse, Maria knew she could not delay any longer, so she took the lead in leaving the Hyperion and rushing towards Nina.
Subsequently, the others left the Hyperion one after another, either falling directly towards Nina's location or landing using the emergency landing device.
Before leaving the Hyperion, Cecilia sent a message to Qiu Bi, explaining the current situation in detail.
Looking at the message Cecilia sent, Qiu Bi felt a chill run down his spine.
I ask—
When you're flirting with other women outside, but your own "official wife" is secretly watching you, who can remain indifferent?
"Qiu Bi, what's wrong?"
Eden looked at Qiu Bi with a puzzled expression.
As soon as the Hyperion began to fall, Eden changed from a sitting position to a standing position, completely unaffected by the Hyperion's descent.
Angeline silently condensed a uniquely shaped spear, preparing to instantly suppress the Herrscher of Metal.
Aurora stood behind Qiu Bi, supporting Agatha and Galina respectively.
"It's nothing, the Hyperion was attacked by Nina and is falling towards the ground."
"Dad, do you need me to help?"
"There's no rush to suppress Nina now. Let's see how Maria and the others perform first. After all, several of them are ganging up on Nina, so they should be able to suppress her, right?"
Qiu Bi wasn't very confident.
Nina's strength has surpassed that of Wendy when she attacked Schicksal Airport. Moreover, Nina's Herrscher powers are very effective against Valkyries, and she cannot be suppressed by a siege of S-rank Valkyries.
Angeline sighed, then explained, "Dad, I didn't mean to suppress the Herrscher of Metal, but to stop the Hyperion from continuing to fall."
"Won't this affect your subsequent suppression of Nina?"
"will not."
Angeline looked directly into Qiu Bi's eyes and said earnestly and confidently, "Dad, even if I need to lift the Hyperion, I can still be invincible in the world!"
Qiu Bi: ?
This is……
Is An Lan possessing him?
Although there was a very strong sense of déjà vu, Qiu Bi knew perfectly well that Angeline was just telling the truth.
Holding up the Hyperion with one hand and suppressing Nina with the other was not a difficult task for Angeline.
Then, Qiu Bi looked at Aurora, Agatha, and Galina and asked, "Agatha, Galina, why don't you stay on the Hyperion and rest for a while?"
“Dad, she didn’t take away my Herrscher Core, so it doesn’t have any impact. In addition, I can treat the injured in time.”
Galina's voice was still somewhat weak, but her attitude was very firm.
Agatha hesitated for a few seconds, then whispered, "Dad, it's a bit willful, but... I want to see Aunt Maria and the others gang up on her."
"Alright. Aurora, don't join the battle later. Protect Agatha and Galina."
"Okay! Dad, don't worry about leaving it to me!"
Aurora made a solemn guarantee.
So what if she can't beat Nina?
As the "Herrscher of the Wind," Aurora's escape is beyond Nina's reach.
"Qiu Bi, take me with you too."
Eden took Qiu Bi's arm and continued, "Although I have just been resurrected, my strength has not been affected. I am still one of the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser."
Qiu Bi let out a soft "hmm," then naturally wrapped his arms around Eden's seemingly slender waist, activated the power of the Herrscher of Wind, and carried Eden toward the area where Nina and Maria were fighting.
Aurora carried Agatha and Galina in her hands like chicks as she followed Qiu Bi away from the Hyperion.
As for Angeline...
Angeline silently adopted the Herrscher stance, her attire transforming into a pure white dress, yet somewhat resembling an elegant gown, with a short front hem and a hem reaching her knees at the back.
Then, she took a step and instantly disappeared from the deck of the Hyperion, reappearing below it.
"call……"
Angeline let out a long sigh of relief, then reached out to brace herself against the Hyperion.
The next second, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared, weaving into strange patterns, like a magic circle or a barrier, which stopped the Hyperion from falling.
Angeline remained in the position of supporting the Hyperion with her left hand and holding a strangely shaped spear in her right, silently looking down at Nina, Maria, and the others who were fighting.
Although Angeline's strength was only revealed to be the tip of the iceberg, it had a huge impact on everyone.
Kevin remained silent, completely dispelling any doubts he might have had.
