"Remember, these people came from alternate timelines, which means they could potentially come from timelines where 'we' defeated them and they will expect our element of surprise. However, if we fight in a different way from what they were expecting, then that would be our win."

"Why are you so confident that this would be our win?"

"Because... 'Miracles' are often to come by."

*BOOM!*

"CECILIA-SAMA!!!"

"YESSS!!! I GOT HER!! I FINALLY GOT HER!! REVENGE AT LAST! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The missiles were launched at the Herrscher-like being, but they were blocked by the windshield. However, some of them didn't make direct contact with the windshield. Instead, half of them were guided by the wind to NOT hit the Pseudo-Herrscher, but the S-Rank Valkyrie herself.

"Who knew those things could be so useful in killing an insect like her?"

With all of the missile's powers combined, it could at least kill off an Emperor-Class Honkai Beast. However, what if it were a human? Unarmored, no defense, no protection. Only a lance in hand while being in the air?

It would certainly kill off a regular human being. But, what about an S-Rank Valkyrie like Cecilia herself? Sure, the lance in her hand was not like any of the regular lances. But that simply does not mean she will survive without any major injuries.

"Now, let me see that woman's corpse. Let me see the same expression that when she killed me back then."

...Just what did this variant go through to have... Such a maniac smile...? Maybe it is best for us to not know...

"Let me see that-" Without a second thought, the Pseudo-Herrscher pushed away from the smoke with her wind to find...

...Nothing...?

"Where did she-!?"

There was no one. How!? She was so sure that those missiles had hit her target! Then where is that dead corpse!?!?

...

A singular white feather falls into the palm of the trespasser's hand...

"Miss Cecilia, catch." Something was thrown at me but I caught it with ease. Looking at the object in my hand, it was...

A small circular piece of metal...?

"What... It is...?" I asked, unable to identify what the object is.

"It's... Something that you could call a 'miracle'."

...Pfft...

"Ara Ara, I didn't know you were into things like this."

"Not that type of 'miracle'... And please, don't ever do that again. If your husband knows, I would be toasted. But, think of it as a lucky charm. Just, don't lose it."

"Hai Hai. I'll keep this as a lucky charm." Without a thought, I pocketed the charm and slowly made my way to the Helios.

...

Opening my eyes, I thought pain was the first thing that greeted me... But turn out, I was wrong. There was no pain, only the strong wind and the blue sky that greeted me...

...Wait... Why am I not falling...?

I felt something behind my back and look behind to see...

Wait... What are those things!?!? Are these wings!? Am I dead!?
