Chapter 19: Into Earth Does the Water Flow

## Manila Houkai records

Manila Houkai records
Incident Number: SEA-074
Location: Manila, Philippines
Outbreak time: 2015-05-22 4:00am

The Houkai that broke out in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, in 2015, is the largest and most serious Houkai outbreak in Southeast Asia so far. Although no Herrscher were born, the disaster almost destroyed the entire city. More than 2 million people were killed and about 3 million people were infected to varying degrees. The secondary disaster caused nearly 10 million residents in the city and its surrounding areas to be displaced.

After the Houkai broke out, Schicksal immediately organized rescue and put in 42 Valkyrja teams with a total of 114 people, and successively dispatched more than 5000 rescue troops of various types, and finally controlled the affected area in Manila. The battle suffered heavy damage, most of the casualties came from the garrison troops in the Philippines, and the six garrison teams, including "Snow Lotus", "Sea Lion" and "Xinglan", were almost wiped out.

The Houkai had a serious impact on the economy and politics of the Philippines and even Southeast Asia. At present, Manila is still closed, and the cHoukai energy concentration in the city is still higher than the safe range, and further observation is needed.

## Coral Island Herrscher Survey Briefing

(Previous) The development of the matter has exceeded everyone's imagination. Less than 5 hours after the birth of the Herrscher of Ice, the second Herrscher in Coral Island appeared. And his identity is exactly the "Owl", the World Snake cadre who rebelled before.

The explosion caused by the birth of the Herrscher destroyed nearly 20 square kilometers of urban areas. The essence of the explosion was a strong gravitational wave spreading. We speculate that this abnormal gravity wave comes from the Herrscher himself. Through data comparison, we found that the power of the new Herrscher is very similar to that of the 9th Herrscher of the pre-civilization-"Herrscher of Rock", so I decided to use this codename temporarily.

Currently, the Herrscher of Rock and Herrscher of Ice are moving towards the center of the Coral Island for reasons that aren't clear. The appearance of the Herrscher of Rock made us lose control of the battle. The frontline suffered heavy losses, and it was temporarily unable to obtain more information on the Herrscher. The situation is critical, please support from the headquarters as soon as possible.

Have read, the HQ has deployed troops to support Coral Island. According to another description, the power of the new Herrscher tends to be controlled by gravity, which is not closely related to rocks and is easily confused when spreading. It isn't necessary to stick to the records of previous civilizations. After discussion at the headquarters meeting, it was decided to make its official code name as "Herrscher of Star".

[Reply]
It is known that the follow-up record will be changed to "Herrscher of Star".

1. Coral Island Herrscher Fusion Event Record
Time: 2017 ◼Month ◼Day
12:21: "Herrscher of Ice" was born.
16:37: "Herrscher of Stars" was born, and an abnormal gravity wave erupted in the center of the Coral Island.
17:05: Witness the Herrscher of Fusion for the first time.
18:24: The Herrscher of Fusion died.

2. Investigation and analysis Herrscher of Fusion in Coral Island incident
(Previously omitted)
All in all, the core of the two Herrscher resonated strongly after the contact, which made the powers of the two tend to merge, creating a new individual of the Herrscher. After investigation, the Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Star had contact during the human period, and the influence of this experience on this fusion needs further investigation.

3. Conclusion
The Coral Island incident is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the current research on Houkai. The many bizarre phenomena of this disaster have brought human perception of Houkai into a more confusing fog. After this incident, in addition to the collective anxiety that will inevitably erupt in the academic field, large-scale negative thoughts are also likely to appear in the organization. Allowing it to spread will have fatal consequences. I is hoped that superiors will pay close attention to this matter, take precautions in advance, and respond in time.

## Ana's Letter

Bianka:
Have a nice day.
I'm now in the Philippines in Southeast Asia and have been stationed in Manila since joining the Snow Lotus squad. It's warm and rainy. At first I wasn't used to it, but now I'm almost used to it. After leaving Europe, the completely different customs have opened my eyes and I really want to invite you to come and experience it.
Although we haven't seen it for a long time, I often hear about your deeds on the Schicksal Broadcast. I admire you for continuing to move towards your goals as before. Remember when I was still at the HQ, you were already a bright star in the crowd. Everyone flocked to you, praising you for being a true genius, a different and unique person. But I know that you have a strong sense of mission in your heart, and this sense of mission urges you to move forward firmly and work harder than ordinary people. This is the real reason for your strength.
Bianka, this is the first time I have told you these things. After leaving the HQ, I had a lot of unprecedented thinking. I began to feel that the responsibility of the Valkyrja was not as pure and beautiful as we thought at the time. But even so, I'm still proud of my identity. No matter where I am, I will continue to chase your back. One day, I will catch up with you and walk side by side with you.
Sorry, I accidentally wrote something like a war book! Please don't mind, I don't know how to express my feelings... In short, I will continue to cheer for you! Wish you all the best.
In addition, please also say hello to Miss Rita for me. It's her birthday soon, and I prepared a small gift, hope she likes it.
