Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

"Meow!" (Ah...?! Ah!! My proud paws!!)

Once he realized what was happening, Stan kept meowing loudly.

"Alright, alright, everyone stop fooling around." Durandal reached out and gently stroked Stan's back, soothing him.

“Rita, it’s like this, the bishop and Jiuxiao just said they want to take this cat back to Destiny to study it, right?” Durandal turned around, looking at Otto and Jiuxiao with eager anticipation.

Otto glanced at Stan with disdain, his face full of disgust. He had no intention of letting any Honkai Beasts enter his floating fortress.

Durandal turned her face, her pupils widening as she stared intently at Otto and Jiuxiao.

The Goose's Gaze

“I have no interest in Honkai Beasts… so it definitely has some value. I’m entrusting Nine Heavens to you.” Otto coughed twice, immediately changing his tone.

“A cat that can contain Honkai energy, I might really need to do some research on that… Kiana and the others also really like small animals.” Jiuxiao thoughtfully chimed in.

After confirming that Jiuxiao and Otto had no objections, Durandal grabbed Stan's two front legs and lifted him in front of Rita.

"Rita, look, what an adorable kitten... Let's adopt it!"

"Lady Durandal, you were just saying you were going back to do research."

"A research topic on whether Honkai Beasts can be tamed to help people's daily lives!" Durandal immediately made up a research topic.

Seeing that Durandal was unusually persistent about something, Rita stopped pressing her and put away her scythe.

"Never mind, as long as Lady Durandal is happy..."

"Yay!" "Meow~"

Durandal and Stan cheered with joy, one finally able to keep a cat, and the other finally able to survive.

Chapter 218 The Second Divine Key

--------------

St. Freya Academy Chat Group (**)

Jiuxiao: What are you all doing?

Karen: Sakura is cooking, and I'm just eating.

Jiuxiao: That's all you've got.

Kiana: djakxjndk

Jiuxiao: What did Kiana say?

Iserlyn: Take a break... take a short break...

Kiana: Little Purple just grabbed my phone and started dialing randomly. @Kallen, what delicious food are you making? Invite me in!

Kallen: Here, Yae Sakura made a lot of little cakes, they're delicious.

Himeko: ………

Himeko: Kiana, if I'm not mistaken, it should be class time now! Did you skip class again?! @Theresa

Kiana: Oops... I forgot everyone's in this group chat...

Teresa:? ? ?

--------------

Jiu Xiao put down his phone, clasped his hands together, and silently prayed for Kiana, that idiot.

Otto put down the phone he had just picked up when it rang, and then looked at Jiuxiao with an unfriendly expression.

He secretly created a new account and infiltrated the large group chat of St. Freya Academy. He even set up special notifications for Theresa and Kallen, so Otto received a notification as soon as Theresa and Kallen spoke.

"Jiuxiao, you rascal! You don't listen in class, and now I'm explaining the battle plan to you, and you still won't listen! You even dare to secretly play on your phone!" Otto picked up his notebook and smacked Jiuxiao on the head.

"?" Jiuxiao looked at Otto with a puzzled expression, then took out his phone in front of Otto and opened the group chat. "How cold-hearted the world is! The dignified Archbishop of Destiny actually sneaked in under an assumed name and used a fake account to infiltrate our St. Freya Academy's group chat. What are you up to!"

"What nonsense are you spouting! The entire Destiny Organization belongs to me. I am the Archbishop, and I can go wherever I want!"

"No, Jiuxiao, listen carefully to the battle plan!"

Otto jumped up and punched Jiuxiao hard on the head, then scurried back to the middle of the living room. Rita thoughtfully brought over a stool, and little Otto slowly climbed onto it, continuing to explain the battle plan to Durandal and Rita.

"Although we didn't capture the enemy leader this time, we still managed to extract some information from the jackals."

According to Jackal, the Second Divine Key should be hidden in a distorted space, which not only isolates space itself but also blocks all means of physical contact, which is why we have been unable to detect it.

After speaking, Otto raised an eyebrow at Durandal and Nine Heavens, signaling them to continue. With the host speaking so earnestly, how could no one in the audience agree?

Jiuxiao simply lay down on the table, too lazy to pay attention to Otto. Who would want to satisfy Otto's desire to perform?

Unlike Jiuxiao and Otto, Durandal simply voiced her question: "Does that mean we can't determine its location? It's said that the location of the Divine Key hasn't been moved for thousands of years."

Otto glanced at Durandal, who had responded to him with satisfaction, waved his hand, and happily continued to explain his plan to the three of them.

"If it's truly impossible to make contact, then the Jackal wouldn't have gone to such lengths to hinder us. She went to such lengths to lay so many traps and mislead us, luring us out of London; surely the Second Key to God must be hidden in this city."

Jackal said that the second key to Godhood is hidden in the most conspicuous place, which greatly narrows down our investigation scope.

I have already dispatched special mechs equipped with ultrasonic generators to these locations. These mechs will release ultrasonic waves to scan the entire area.

The sound waves emitted by one side will be captured by the other side. We only need to measure the time it takes for each segment of the sound wave to reach the receiver. If there is a folded space in the area, the sound waves passing through this space will take even less time.

"This way, we can confirm the location of the Key of God." Otto concluded his statement with great confidence.

Durandal: "However, if we make such a big move, the enemy will definitely notice, and that jackal will not let it go."

“You’re right, but that depends on her still being alive. However, we still need to have the necessary precautions. Jiuxiao, Durandal, and Rita have told you all to be on standby to deal with any possible situation.”

Shortly thereafter, once the special mechs of Destiny arrived, the operation began immediately.

The three S-rank Valkyries of Destiny, Jiuxiao, Durandal, and Rita, followed the special mecha force to surround the city and continuously narrow down the observation range.

As the sound waves swept across the Thames, the ripples of the sound waves showed a noticeable shift.

"The magnetic field device has detected a spatial distortion and located the Divine Key!"

“Your Excellency, we have detected a distorted space fifty meters above the Thames, but our current detection equipment is unable to reach the interior.”

"Heh, it's hidden so obviously... so it'll probably be hard to open!" Otto drew a series of operation command modules and began to issue orders to the local Destiny branch, requiring them to immediately arrange the evacuation of the people within a few kilometers and to begin mobilizing Destiny's assault mech units to stand by.

After everyone had evacuated and Jiu Xiao and the others were all on standby, Otto waved his hand, and all the assault mech units began to bombard the target direction with Honkai energy beams.

After several rounds of bombardment, the spatial barrier protecting the second Divine Key shattered.

A magnificent train, consisting of several carriages and hundreds of meters in length, emerged from within.

"This...this is the Second Divine Key...I never expected it to be so magnificent." Durandal stared in astonishment at the Second Divine Key; no one had imagined that the Second Divine Key would be a train...

"I always thought the Divine Keys were weapons... I never expected this..."

Jiu Xiao swallowed hard, he had to admit that the appearance of the second Divine Key was really cool. In Jiu Xiao's mind, he could already picture the locomotive forming the body, the other carriages forming the limbs, and then turning into a cool giant robot.

But...did the creators foresee the destruction of civilization, which is why they built this "Noah's Ark"?

As the second Divine Key was fully revealed, an unexpected figure awoke from the train.

A tiny, white-haired child, less than a meter tall, wields a Key of Destruction, the Annihilation Key, which is larger than himself...

--------------

"Jackal! Get down here!"

The kindergarten director, Raven, held Little Feathered Rabbit and kept waving to the jackal who had climbed onto the roof to watch the Destiny Organization's operation.

Because the jackal had died once, the indignant Yu Tu simply transcribed the jackal into a little kid as well.

"Hmph, I want to see the Lord's incarnation crush those Destiny guys!" Jackal shouted angrily on the rooftop in a childish voice.

bang——

Raven silently covered his forehead, then jumped into the air and caught the jackal that had been blown away by the shockwaves from Jiuxiao and the others' battle.

With a wry smile, the kindergarten director Raven grabbed the Feathered Rabbit in his left arm and the Jackal in his right, and ran straight back to the World Serpent Base without looking back.

Chapter 219 Armed Doll Kevin

“That is… the Annihilation form of the Heavenly Fire Judgment…” Otto looked at the Annihilation in the little man’s hand, his eyes somewhat solemn.

Otto was never afraid of Siegfried; what he feared most was the cataclysmic destruction that Siegfried unleashed when his incomplete liberation was artificially broken and the limits were breached.

Like a god of destruction descending to earth, only the light emitted by a star at its death can rival its brilliance; this is the origin of the meaning of "annihilation".

"Nine Heavens, Durandal, don't let your guard down. Watch out for the replica of the Heavenly Flame in that armed puppet's hand. I can't estimate how well the replica can be replicated, but its power will certainly not be low."

After Otto finished speaking, he paused for a moment, hesitated, and then continued to say to Durandal and Nine Heavens, "There is no need to fight to the death with him. The energy used by the previous civilization is different from ours. After tens of thousands of years, these puppets of theirs will not have much energy left."

"Received."

Durandal and Jiuxiao nodded to each other, then sped off toward the armed puppet Kevin.

Rita, along with Otto, prepared to retreat, as the aftershocks of Jiuxiao and the others' battle were too much for Rita and Otto to withstand in their current state.
