People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

The two of them haven't even exchanged a single word yet.

Cocolia wanted Jojo to stay, and the two of them talked until dawn, with Cocolia telling him that she was willing to do anything for him.

But when she rushed to the study, she found that the window behind the desk had been opened and a black figure leaped into the dark night.

Cocolia chased after Jojo to the window, only to find that Jojo's figure had already disappeared into the vast night.

Looking out the window at the flowerbed shrouded in night, Cocolia searched everywhere for the black figure, but to no avail. In the end, she could only sigh in disappointment, placing her slender fingers on her pounding chest, clenching her trembling heart tightly, and a strange light shining in her eyes.

“This is enough for now…” Cocolia said wistfully, gazing into the night. “As long as I remember you, as long as I know you’re still here… then no matter where you run off to, I will find you, Jojo.”

Chapter 214 I Want to Be Lady Durandal's Dog!

Destiny headquarters, floating island.

In the training room, which was fully equipped with exercise equipment such as dumbbells, treadmills, and exercise bikes, Yulandel wore a black vest that revealed her slender and fair abdomen. Her beautiful legs, clad in sports shorts, had the graceful lines of a swimmer, slender and long. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her gaze was as sharp as a hawk's. Her clenched fists pounded the sandbag heavily.

With a loud "bang," the sandbag suspended in mid-air by iron chains could not withstand Durandal's violence as the strongest Valkyrie and disintegrated in mid-air, with white sand pouring out along the breach.

The Valkyries in the training room, dressed in tight-fitting sportswear and with shapely, sexy figures, were stunned when they saw Durandal smash a sandbag with a single punch. They stood frozen in surprise and then let out screams full of admiration.

As the gathering place of Valkyries, the headquarters of Destiny is mostly staffed by young and beautiful women. They spend a lot of time in an environment without men, so it can be said to be Valkyrie's lair.

Among the Valkyries of Destiny, Durandal is the most powerful and outstanding.

Almost all of the Valkyries of Destiny are fans of Durandal, and are extremely infatuated with and worship her.

"As expected of Lady Durandal, she is beautiful and intelligent, a true genius, and she trains so hard!"

"Mmm, Lady Durandal is just too perfect! I really want to be Lady Durandal's dog!"

"Don't try to take it from me, I want to lick Lady Durandal's fair and smooth jade feet!"

Among the onlookers, two Valkyries from the same team, both wearing sports vests, were fighting and arguing over Durandal.

However, Durandal, who was at the center of their struggle, was completely unaware of this. She was tense and restless, with the image of a black-haired, purple-eyed boy constantly appearing in her mind, haunting her thoughts.

The thought of Qiao Qiao lying in her arms, her slender body covered in blood, pierced through the chest by the Black Abyss sword beneath the ancient tree, made Yulandel snap out of her reverie as if waking from a nightmare. She bit her red lips in regret, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Jojo... if we meet again, will you be willing to forgive me?"

Just then, Rita, Durandal's adjutant and best friend, dressed in a black and white maid outfit with scarlet roses adorning her Katyusha, walked up behind Durandal carrying a hard drive containing towels and vitamin water.

Seeing Durandal's absent-minded look, Rita, who was closest to Durandal, felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly.

To other Valkyries unfamiliar with Durandal, Durandal might simply be training as usual. However, Rita, Durandal's maid and friend, kept her eyes fixed on Durandal; she was arguably the person in the world who knew Durandal best. Naturally, she could see that Durandal was deeply worried.

"Lady Durandal, what has happened?"

Hearing Rita's voice, Durandal finally snapped out of her complicated thoughts about Jojo. She looked up, and her previously frowning face broke into a sweet and beautiful smile, like a flower just beginning to bloom.

"It's nothing, I just accidentally hit too hard and broke the sandbag."

Durandal made up a random excuse to hide her worries. After all, she knew very well that the grudges and entanglements between Jojo and her happened in the previous cycle. Rita in the current timeline definitely knew nothing about Jojo. Even if she told her everything, Rita probably wouldn't believe her easily and would only make her worry more.

Especially... how could anyone possibly say something like "the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny falls in love with the torturer of World Serpent"?

Even if the other person is Rita, who is closest to him, it's the same.

Seeing that Durandal was unwilling to talk to her, Rita knew there was something fishy about it, but she wouldn't force Durandal to reveal her secrets.

As a maid and friend, Rita values ​​Durandal's wishes more than her own, so she naturally wouldn't let her curiosity get the better of her and force Durandal to say things she doesn't want to say.

The understanding Rita smiled slightly and said, "Lady Durandal, you don't need to worry. It is my duty as a maid to deal with your troubles. I will clean up the broken sandbag."

Seeing that Rita no longer cared, Durandal's smile grew even brighter. In the days when she couldn't meet Jojo, only Rita's presence could give Durandal some warmth.

Rita immediately ordered her subordinates to clean up the broken sandbags, but she never imagined that her most important friend was currently obsessed with a man.

If she knew that the most powerful and holy Durandal in her heart had once been intimate with a man, and that Durandal was devoted to him, her faith would immediately crumble, and she would probably target him for much more than just a punching bag.

However, although Rita was determined not to pry into Durandal's feelings anymore, she couldn't help but frown while cleaning the sandbags. She really couldn't understand why Durandal's expression changed so drastically and why she left in a hurry after seeing Raiden Mei and her fiancé in Aylvit's notebook that night.

Moreover, when Durandal returned to Schicksal headquarters at dawn, she was accompanied by Bishop Otto, who also bore some signs of battle.

What exactly happened between Lady Durandal and Bishop Otto that night?

Rita could never have imagined that Durandal would engage in a fierce battle with Bishop Otto when she went to Me to find Jojo.

Durandal wielded the lance "Black Abyss White Flower," which controlled the powers of death and creation, while Otto used the Oath of Judah.

After a fierce battle, Durandal, the strongest Valkyrie, was unable to prevent Schicksal from losing its most important leader, and was unable to use her full strength in the battle against Otto.

Not long after the battle began, as long as Ancestor Kevin and the Herrscher of Knowledge did not appear, Durandal, the strongest in the world, used her pure white lance to pierce Otto's arm, and temporarily gained the upper hand.

Durandal was, after all, just a young girl of sixteen or seventeen. Otto, on the other hand, was an old fox who had lived for five hundred years. His body had long been transformed into a soul steel body, so even if his arm was crippled, it was nothing to him.

Just as Durandal's lance pierced Otto's arm, the cross "Oath of Judah" beside Otto emitted a dazzling, crumbling light.

In an instant, the night sky turned golden and brilliant, as bright as day. Countless gears in mid-air rotated slowly like the hands of a clock, meshing together, and from the golden gears in the sky, countless golden chains extended, like long snakes, rushing towards Durandal.

That is... the oath of Judah, the mimic.

Zero rated power.

Divine Grace Barrier!

Chapter 215 Durandal's Private Request to Rita

As Otto activated the Pseudo-Judah Oath, Durandal, a battle-hardened Valkyrie, immediately sensed danger. Without sparing any mercy towards Bishop Otto, she thrust her silver lance toward Otto's chest like a shooting star.

Just as the silver lance was about to pierce Otto's chest and render him completely immobile, Durandal's silver lance froze as if time had stood still.

Durandal stared in astonishment as golden chains, like pythons, tightly bound her body, rendering her completely immobile for a moment.

Surprised, Durandal slowly raised her gaze to the top of her head.

Several golden gears hung in the pitch-black night sky, like suns illuminating the darkness, or like eyes looking down on the battlefield on the ground.

The Eleventh Divine Key, Oath of Judah, has many bizarre uses, and the divine grace barrier unleashed when its zeroth rated power is released can seal all Honkai energy within the barrier, turning all Valkyries who possess Honkai energy into ordinary people, and rendering weapons that use Honkai energy as their energy source unusable.

Although the Oath of Judah that Otto is currently using is merely a replica created by the Void Archives, and its power is far less than the original Eleventh Divine Key, it is still enough to seal the Honkai energy within the target's body.

Seeing Durandal successfully bound by the golden chains, the heavily injured Otto breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Truly worthy of being my proudest trump card. If I hadn't prepared in advance, I might have already been defeated."

Otto tried to get up from the ground, but the blow Durandal had just pierced his arm was far more serious than he had imagined. Even though he tried his best to get up, he couldn't move at all. This made Otto laugh. He had always regarded Durandal as one of the pawns in realizing his plan, but now he had been almost crippled by a pawn.

However... Otto's body is now steel-like, and to him, his body is like clothes, which he can change at will. The destruction of his body did not cause Otto any fear.

On the other hand, Durandal, despite possessing Honkai energy far beyond what ordinary people could imagine, was now bound by golden chains and unable to move. Her posture was almost like Heracross being tightly bound by the chains of God.

Durandal glared at Otto with eyes full of resentment, gritting her teeth as she said, "Let me go! I need to get back to Jojo!"

While the Oath of Mimicry Judah did manage to seal the Honkai energy within its target, it ultimately couldn't compare to a true Divine Key. Durandal, on the other hand, was the strongest Valkyrie in the world, possessing a total amount of Honkai energy comparable to a Herrscher. Her arm, gripping the spear, struggled relentlessly, managing to break free from the golden chains. The spear's tip, gleaming with a cold light, slowly approached Otto's neck.

When Otto saw that Durandal, despite being bound by the Oath of Judah, still possessed the ability to move, he was immediately alarmed and exclaimed, "Durandal, you and that boy are from completely different worlds. Even if you meet, what do you intend to do?"

Upon hearing Otto's words, Durandal felt a sharp pain in her heart. She recalled the scene in the past reincarnation where Jojo, as the highest-ranking executive of the World Serpent, sacrificed her life to let her leave the World Serpent. Her original desire to see Jojo suddenly wavered, and the spear she was about to thrust at Otto stopped.

Yes... Even if I meet with Qiao Qiao, will he forgive me for what I did in the past?

He has a new life now, and he may have already forgotten about me. He also has such a young and beautiful fiancée.

Even if I go to see him now, would he be willing to abandon his current life and fiancée to rekindle our relationship?

Thinking of this, Yulandel suddenly felt afraid of seeing Qiao Qiao again. She was somewhat afraid that she would go to see Qiao Qiao with enthusiasm, only to be turned away by him.

Qiaoqiao and I are from completely different worlds. Is it really appropriate for me to disturb his current life?

Thinking of this, Durandal's face suddenly darkened, and she fell into deep thought. Then, tears welled up in her eyes, and she almost roared, "I know that what I did to him is almost impossible to forgive... but even if he doesn't forgive me, it doesn't matter... I just need to see him safe and happy..."

Even if the other person doesn't stay with her, it doesn't matter. All Durandal wants now is for her beloved to be happy.

When it comes to love, especially unrequited love, Otto Apocalypse is an expert!

Otto immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "Since you want that boy to be happy, then you shouldn't disturb his life now. He has his own things to do, and you also have the mission to fight against the Honkai and protect the world."

Otto said firmly, "It's not time for you to meet now. If you really care about him, you have to learn to be patient."

No one understands love better than Alto.

Durandal is now hopelessly in love with Jojo and can't wait to see the person she's been dreaming of.

But since she was sincere towards Qiaoqiao, she naturally valued Qiaoqiao more than her own lust for seeing her.

Knowing full well that your beloved is still alive, yet being unable to see them, is an extremely painful thing.

But as long as it's for the one she loves, even if the pain of unrequited love is unbearable, Durandal will be willing to endure it.

This is Alto's advice based on his own experience.

Durandal knew very well that even if she went to see Jojo now, it would only disturb his current life. She tremblingly put down the silver-white lance in her hand, stopped struggling, and completely lost her heart.

At that moment, the divine grace barrier, which had been pulled by Durandal's immense force, reached its limit. The gears swirling in the night sky turned into tiny golden particles of light and disappeared into the darkness.

The golden chains on Durandal's body also turned into particles of light and disappeared.

Along with the light particles, besides the glistening tears that slid down Durandal's cheeks, also vanished, along with her longing to see Jojo again.

During her conversation with Rita, Durandal recalled the night she gave up meeting Jojo.

Even though Durandal knew that Jojo had things she had to do and that she herself had a mission to fight the Honkai and protect the world, she still always cared about her beloved.

Is he alright now?

Did he eat his three meals on time...? In one cycle, he often dealt with dangerous people. Will he encounter any danger now?

Although Durandal is currently at the headquarters of Destiny, her soul has already drifted to JoJo's side, and she is absent-minded and lost all day long.

Seeing Durandal's gloomy expression, Rita, as Durandal's best friend, naturally felt a pang of heartache. She gently touched her chest, her eyes filled with worry, and said, "Lady Durandal, although I don't know what's troubling you, Rita is willing to do anything to ease your worries!"

Durandal sensed the worry in Rita's words and froze.

Rita...you truly are my best confidante; nothing I'm hiding from you can escape your notice...

Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in Durandal's eyes as she looked at Rita.

According to Bishop Otto, Jojo has things he must accomplish and he also has a mission to fight against the Honkai, so he cannot leave Schicksal to go to Jojo's side.

Since she couldn't personally go to Qiaoqiao's side to take care of him, why not let a suitable person stay by Qiaoqiao's side in her place?

Rita is Durandal's best and most trusted friend in the world. In Durandal's heart, Rita's importance is no less than that of Jojo.
