I, with my frail and sickly body, simultaneously traverse hundreds of worlds.

Page 18

Paimon Angelica K-233, the experimental subject, developed consciousness, which surprised Otto. However, as a fellow android, Otto immediately discovered Angelica's value.

Humans need to stick together for warmth; no one wants to experience the fear of loneliness, so the presence of fellow human beings is an inevitable and indispensable existence.

Otto sent Bai Zhi to the Long Sky Room so that K-423 would become aware of her existence and form a bond with her, thus adding an extra layer of security to the subsequent plan.

Bai Zhi was fully aware of this, but he also knew he couldn't let Otto know that he knew the inside story. As the mastermind behind the chess players, he would not be pleasantly surprised by any variables that might affect the plan; on the contrary, he would deal with them immediately.

so......

'I will follow your plan, forge a bond with K-423, and then... betray you. The key to my departure from Schicksal is none other than your pawn, Otto.'

Boarding the airship, Bai Zhi looked down at Otto through the glass. The playful smile on his face had vanished, replaced by a serious and profound gaze filled with calculation and ruthlessness.

At the same time, Otto raised his gaze, the fake smile on his face had disappeared, and his expressionless face revealed him to be the true sage who had held destiny in his hands for five hundred years.

At this moment, the two people with ulterior motives stared at each other.

Honkai Impact 34: Thousand Feather Academy Produces Three Prodigies

The third Honkai eruption.

The experiment on artificial Herrschers, conducted by Cocolia, a radical member of the Anti-Entropy faction, was triggered by Raiden Mei's awakening as the Herrscher of Lightning.

Ninety-nine percent of the population of Changkong City has been infected by Honkai energy and become suicide soldiers. The Honkai Beasts have reached extremely high levels, with a few even reaching the level of Honkai Emperor.

Cocolia's goal is to obtain the complete Herrscher core to power the Moon Throne in order to fight back against the Honkai.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that because of the appearance of Kiana, the girl searching for her father, she tore off the wings and authority of the Herrscher, awakening the true personality of Raiden Mei.

An unexpected event, neither scientific nor catastrophic, ruined her plans. Even her adopted daughter, the Stand user (fake) Bronya, was accepted into St. Freya Academy. This battle was a victory for Theresa.

Silently, Bai Zhi turned off the projection screen. Hesitantly, she couldn't help but ask, "Otto obtained detailed inside information, including videos. Why did he allow Cocolia to successfully lure out the Third Herrscher? It was practically a live broadcast. Could it be that he's tired of the Schicksal Bishops and wants to become the Pope of Apocalypse? That's not a good idea. Zero Mei personally dissected her lover's corpse to create a Stigmata Terminal, a tragic experience comparable to personally desecrating a corpse. Otto, do you perhaps want to offer your opinion?"

Recalling Otto's true nature, Bai Zhi sighed with emotion, thinking that Otto was truly the kind of person who would do such a terrible thing.

As the airship sailed, Otto, to prevent Bai Zhi from getting bored and causing trouble, played a video titled 'Third Honkai Recap.AVI'.

As for the future scenarios that have not yet occurred, Bai Zhi muttered to herself without revealing her thoughts.

He lived at the Destiny Headquarters from beginning to end, and the butterfly effect still influenced the occurrence of events.

The video file has been edited, featuring high-energy background music, camera transitions during battles, and inner monologues conveying hesitation and determination. The voice actors chosen are almost identical to the original actors' voices. It's no wonder that they are mentored by miHoYo; games are just a side job, animation is their main focus.

"Instead of wasting your time, you should build more mechs and Valkyrie armor to prevent large-scale casualties among the Valkyries. That's the important thing. Otto, how did you develop such a talent for neglecting your duties? You wouldn't be so twisted as to produce your own virtual Kallen and 3D Kallen body pillows and figurines to satisfy your inner hunger time and time again."

Unable to suppress her urge to complain, Bai Zhi kept talking the whole way while watching the video, completely displaying her cynicism. The Valkyrie standing next to her almost couldn't hold back her laughter and her indifference towards Bai Zhi.

Kevin, the leader of the World Serpent Grey Serpent faith, is also a powerful figure. The Valkyries of Destiny also worship Otto, and Destiny itself is an organization that evolved from a church... although Kevin was the first bishop.

The world snake and destiny share the same origin, why are they so eager to harm each other?

Rita responded with a smile, using phrases like, "You're right," "Wow, that's amazing," and "Your Excellency is a scoundrel," to appease him like a child.

After all, strictly speaking, from the time of his birth, Bai Zhi is not even a year old, a pure and innocent boy.

Durandal's beating of a one-year-old boy under the guise of training seems to be heading down a path of crime.

To be honest, Rita was worried that one day when she returned to Schicksal after completing her mission, she would see Lord Durandal arrested for the crime of assaulting a one-year-old child, and that he would become a hopeless alcoholic, a pathetic man who would cry and throw tantrums if he didn't get any affectionate kisses and hugs...

Durandal, a knock-off of Otto.

Rita shivered and shook her head violently, trying to expel the thoughts from her mind.

Wuwuwu——

The sudden alarm sounded, bringing everyone abruptly to a standstill.

"Lady Rita, the Honkai energy index is rapidly increasing: 1500, 2000, 2500... It has reached the value required for the birth of a Herrscher. Following the birth of the third Herrscher, Changkong City has produced its second Herrscher..."

The female announcer's voice trembled. The Valkyries' mission was to fight the Honkai, and no one understood the horror of the Honkai better than they had personally been to the battlefield.

Just how strong are the Herrschers who are messengers of Honkai? It's unimaginable.

"The warships are preparing to retreat. Report to His Excellency the Bishop: the situation has changed. We are seeking support from more Valkyrie units."

Rita immediately issued the order. The operation was ostensibly to eliminate the assassins and Honkai Beasts. Most of the Valkyries in the floating battleship were B-rank Valkyries, with a few A-rank Valkyries.

Rita is the only S-class Valkyrie. To protect Paimon and fight against the Herrscher, Rita would rather retreat and gather more strength than sacrifice lives to achieve victory.

“Wait a minute,” Bai Zhi objected. “The appearance of the Herrscher of Thunder is already the limit of this Honkai outbreak. Even if the power of the Herrscher of Thunder is destroyed and dissipated by Kiana, the remaining amount cannot give birth to a new Herrscher.”

"You mean..." Rita looked at Bai Zhi curiously.

Otto taught Bai Zhi tactics and combat methods, but the knowledge related to Honkai was just common sense, and his remarks about the Herrschers were summarized in just a few words.

So the question arises: who taught him the further knowledge, and how much did he actually know?

"I speculate that the increase in Honkai energy level is due to the spilled Honkai energy affecting high-level zombies, or highly qualified humans, or the materialization of some concept, giving birth to an existence that is inferior to the Herrscher, that is, a pseudo-Herrscher."

Noticing Rita's gaze, Bai Zhi knew he had revealed information and knowledge he shouldn't have known, but he didn't stop and continued to explain.

“The pseudo-Herrschers are not as terrifying as the Herrschers. They do not have the Herrscher core, and their overall strength is a level lower than that of the Herrschers. Although they can also command Honkai Beasts and are a huge threat, carrying out a decapitation operation to kill the pseudo-Herrschers will greatly suppress the Honkai in Changkong City.”

The analysis of Angelica dahurica is very accurate and consistent with reality.

But who would have thought that the cherry blossom tree at Chiba Academy was sealing away the 500-year-old priestess Yae Sakura, or a pseudo-Herrscher corrupted by the black box of the twelfth Herrscher of the previous era?

In a sense, Cocolia almost achieved a victory that caused civilization to be instantly defeated.

What's even more absurd is that after Yae Sakura was defeated, the Honkai energy that overflowed combined with the remaining Honkai energy of the Third Herrscher and Yuno, who was affected by negative emotions, to give birth to a new pseudo-Herrscher.

The fact that three Herrschers have appeared in succession at Chiyu Academy is comparable to the Herrscher drop rate at St. Freya Academy.

The Valkyrie inside the floating warship looked thoughtful, and her argument was logical, well-founded, and convincing.

Most of them became Valkyries because their family, friends, or even themselves had been persecuted by the Honkai.

Dedicating one's life to a better tomorrow is not just empty talk.

It can suppress the spread of collapse in the shortest time, no matter the cost.

Their eyes conveyed such a message.

(ix) Ling Liuliu O Ni 8 Erba Qun Lita suddenly understood why Bai Zhi directly exposed the hidden secret.

'This is an open conspiracy. I'm telling you clearly that I have a problem, but Rita, will you force me to take her back?' Muttering to herself, Bai Zhi took out a set of standard equipment and familiarized herself with the feel of it.

The answer is no.

Could Rita, now under everyone's gaze, still refuse? Driven by the tide of events, she could neither ignore her own will nor her inner emotions and choose to return.

"Let's move forward. Notify the Far East Branch to exchange intelligence and confirm the veracity of the information about the pseudo-Herrscher. Assign positions and actions to each squad. Everyone must be careful and survive."

Rita, going with the flow, agreed. She looked at Bai Zhi and gave a charming smile: "Lord Paimon, after this is over, I hope you can resolve my questions truthfully. The bishop will also be present."

"I'm so disappointed, Rita. I thought you were an incurable Theresa fanatic."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi shook her head and said in a reverent tone, "The ideals of the Far East Branch and the ideals of the Destiny Headquarters are two extremes. If I tell Theresa the truth, do you think she will refuse Otto's request and let me stay?"

“After all, at the genetic level, my relationship with Theresa is closer than Otto’s.” He stared into Rita’s pupils. “Moreover, Otto has been keeping information about the original body from Theresa. Poor Cecilia, her daughter is living a life worse than death, while her good friend Theresa is enjoying herself with bitter melon juice and Houmu comics every day. If she knew, I wonder if she would crawl out of the underworld.”

"Lord Paimon, you can't keep this a secret for long."

After a moment of silence, Rita gave in.

"I have my own plans. Your task is to monitor me."

Having received the answer she wanted, Bai Zhi smiled.

Honkai Impact 35: The Strongest Words of Lingying Fox

Pitch black, loneliness, fear, darkness.

Imprisoned in a small, dark room, there was no one to talk to, no one to laugh with, no one to keep me company; all I had was the desolate loneliness of having nothing.

I knelt in the corner, head down, reminiscing about the past. There were happy memories, the warmth of living with my sister Sakura, and bad memories, like the group of bad guys who suddenly broke into our house and kidnapped and imprisoned her.

I am terrified, terrified that I will spend the rest of my life in the darkness of loneliness.

Until that day, the sound of a key clicking could be heard coming from the tightly locked iron gate.

Can I... go home now?

The girl's lifeless eyes regained their sparkle; she missed her sister and the warmth of their past.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The cage was opened, just when the girl thought she could go home.

The group that entered the cage were armed madmen driven insane by their fear.

bang bang bang-

The sound of bullets being fired, the sound of magazines being switched, the sound of spent cartridge cases hitting the ground...

It suppressed the girl's hopes for a better future.

Before she died, the girl's only thought was that she would never see her sister again. The sound of gunfire around her gradually faded away, replaced by a powerful consciousness.

He comforted the girl, and his sisterly gentleness not only immersed her in it, but also made her feel an increasingly ethereal consciousness and power.

The girl was left with only the regret of never seeing her sister again, and a deep-seated hatred for the person who killed her.

You (humans) have plunged me into the abyss of death, so I will repay you (humans) with hatred.

The distant and tragic memories awakened the divine messenger who had been sleeping within the seal.

'Memories I wanted to forget resurfaced, utterly awful... How long have I been asleep, an entire era? That was the last time. I remember waking up last time and seeing what looked like my sister—no, it was just someone who resembled her...'

'I remember now. I took advantage of the original owner of this body's longing for her younger sister and possessed her body. What was her name again... Sakura? Right, Yae Sakura, my older sister... Hmm, the Honkai energy outside is becoming increasingly abundant. It's time to fully wake up. What should I do when I wake up again?'

'Forget it, my brain isn't working too well; I can't figure it out in a short time. I'll just have to think about it while I'm destroying humanity.'

In her naive yet cruel thoughts, within the void of the sealed space, a girl with long cherry-blossom hair, wearing a shrine maiden outfit that exposed her armpits, and with two slender fox ears growing from the top of her head, slowly opened her purple pupils.

An ominous aura completely permeated the entire sealed space the moment the girl opened her eyes.

"I am the collapse."

A jarring shattering sound rang out amidst the girl's declaration.

Click, click, click, click, click—

The sealed space was covered with cherry-colored cracks, and the broken marks were like glass that had fallen from a height, so fragile and vulnerable.

It eventually collapsed completely.

Raising her hand to shield her eyes from the direct sunlight, the girl squinted, enjoying the Honkai energy she hadn't felt in centuries. With her arms outstretched, she displayed a contented expression, praising the Honkai.

"Kiana, take Raiden Mei away immediately. She's dangerous. Her Honkai energy level is no less than that of Raiden Mei in her Herrscher form. Once the Herrscher core is taken, the plan will fail, and the situation will be even worse." The voice rang out from very close range, filled with a cold and emotionless tone.

“I can…stay and help you!” Another female voice said defiantly, but her exhaustion was evident in her tone.

"You don't have much strength left. Staying will only hinder Bronya's progress. Now! Immediately! Take Raiden Mei and leave!"

The noisy commotion shattered the girl's peaceful moment of rest.

Bu shi si ling qi wo 〖栮??俬巴群Z full of eyes, the surrounding scenery reflected in the purple pupils.

The once tidy campus has now become a devastating ruin. The ground looks as if it has been plowed through, and there are residual electric arc ions on the collapsed buildings and the steel bars on the ground.

It's hard to imagine what kind of battle must have taken to create this scene.

In front of the girl stood three people, or rather two people, with the remaining one unconscious and being carried on one of their backs.

Bronya was very wary of the petite girl with light gray hair styled in spiral pigtails and dressed in military-style clothing.

"Heavy-duty bunny 19C—"

The moment she sensed the gaze, Bronya summoned her mecha clone.

In an instant, a steel robot composed of white, red, blue, and yellow appeared, blocking the two in a boxing stance.

"Mecha! No matter how many times I've seen them, they're always so cool!"

Kiana gasped as she saw a girl with white hair and blue eyes, her long white hair tied into two braids. She quickly hid behind Heavy Bunny, blocking the other girl's view.

Throughout the operation, Kiana maintained her balance. The girl with long, loose purple hair, who was unconscious, was carried on Kiana's back. Raiden Mei, who was wearing the same Chiba Academy uniform, was sleeping peacefully.

The cherry-haired, fox-eared girl casually glanced at the three of them, her gaze lingering on Kiana for a moment before she shook her head. Then she looked at Raiden Mei, her expression changing.

"...Hehe, what an unexpected surprise! The core that can replenish my missing parts has appeared right in front of me. Fate is on my side. Surrender! As the one who broke the seal and met you, I will give you a painful death, but I will not let you feel any pain."

Following the tradition of the Herald's personality, he uses a variety of witty remarks and strong-willed phrases, preferring not to say anything that doesn't rhyme.

Yae Sakura has that potential.
