Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

However, the two cherry blossom-colored souls, one big and one small, beside me couldn't be...

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sakura, and I am the priestess who guards the shrine maiden of the shrine maiden." Sakura bowed again.

"Um...can I ask about the origin of this knife you have?"

As Liu Bai asked the question, Huang Quan silently shifted his gaze to Sakura.

"This sword? This sword is a spirit sword that has been passed down in the shrine. Its name is Scarlet Cherry. These two are the souls that reside in Scarlet Cherry and are waiting to be resurrected. They are also sword spirits."

Although we shouldn't reveal information about the treasured sword, since we've fought to this extent, it doesn't really matter.

"Waiting for resurrection?"

"Hmm... I heard from the general that it seems there is something unclean in the souls of these two people, which needs to be cleansed slowly. It has been almost five hundred years now, otherwise they could have been resurrected directly."

"Isn't the technology tree in this world a bit too skewed?" Huang Quan tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.

Can you even do soul extraction and body swapping?

To be honest, Huang Quan thinks this is a bit too much...

Huang Quan could accept the idea of ​​simply possessing a spirit, since her hometown also had this technique...

and……

"Five hundred years? Your family's general has also lived for five hundred years?" Huang Quan, who suddenly realized that this world might be a bit strange, took the initiative to ask the question.

"Ah...it must be over five hundred years ago, right? Anyway, nobody knows exactly how many years it has been." Sakura scratched her head at this question.

"people?"

"Humans, it doesn't seem so wrong to call them gods."

"..."

Is that God?

Huang Quan looked at the statue in the shrine's shrine.

She's a bit like me...

"It's okay. What place doesn't have things that outsiders can't understand?"

Humans, the immortal species, are still a minority in Star Iron, which is why the Immortal Ship has the characteristics of a tourist destination. Even the Academy is still debating whether abundance is good or evil.

To be honest, it's just a mod. In the original game, the Honkai Impact tech tree has a bit of a barrier to entry, but once you succeed, the Fusion Warrior is basically immortal...

This lifespan completely shatters the common sense of the Star Iron Man. Even the Abundant Realm would be impressed. The Immortal Ship has been ravaged, yet it still has a huge following. A Fusion Warrior's lifespan in the Star Sea would be enough to incite people to commit crimes...

And to be honest, the universe of Star Iron spans about 300,000 years in terms of historical records. If Abundance had ascended to godhood a little later, he might not actually be as old as the Fusion Warriors from the original game...

Don't ask, the answer is simply a technology development path adapted to local conditions.

"Too."

Huang Quan wasn't the type to dwell on trivial details, so after Liu Bai said that, she readily accepted it.

"Sakura, right?" Bai said, turning to look at Sakura after finishing his persuasion of Huang Quan.

"Yes!" Sakura replied somewhat nervously.

"Don't be nervous, can you treat them?"

Liu Bai pointed to the large group of people lying in the courtyard.

"Lying here all the time isn't a good idea."

"This... is fine, the injuries are not very serious."

Sakura glanced at them and saw that most of the people were still conscious, groaning on the ground. These kinds of injuries are easy to treat.

Actually, Kujo Sara was the one who was most seriously injured.

After all, Huang Quan had applied a little more force to this person, who was sent flying and crashed headfirst into the wall, losing consciousness.

"Thank you for your help, Rin."

The petite, cherry-colored shrine maiden nodded and began a wide-area healing ritual with a wave of her gohei.

After a while, the members of the Undying Blade stopped groaning and each found a place to squat against the wall.

"Sigh, our vice-captain's happiness is gone."

The squad leader of the Undying Blade looked at Huang Quan following behind Liu Bai and sighed.

"He seems to be incredibly strong and also incredibly loyal. Is the vice-captain doomed?"

"It's hard to say. I heard Lord Ragnar say when I was delivering documents before that he wanted the vice-captain to take over as captain of the stormtroopers."

"Ah... we've found the source of the curse."

The squad leader had a knowing look on his face.

"Getting involved with the Stormtroopers' predecessors will make your life miserable."

"...You guys are taking it too easy, aren't you?" Bai overheard half of what the girls were saying. "Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing? You're still talking about dating?"

"Ah... what can being nervous change?"

The squad leader tilted his head and asked in return.

That female swordswoman next to you is even better at fighting than my captain!

My captain is someone we couldn't beat even if we all attacked together.

We're still able to breathe because we've been given a second chance at life, okay?

Nervous? Nervous my foot.

"If the vice captain doesn't come, we won't object to you supporting us."

It's not that they lack backbone, it's that they really can't win.

Anyway, it's not like we're surrendering to the Honkai. We're all human, so there's nothing morally wrong with it.

And to be honest, it would be harder for the enemy to take them all down than to kill them all. They haven't lost a single comrade yet, so what more could they ask for?

Besides, they're only not resisting yet, it doesn't count as surrendering...

Ultimately, surrendering is out of the question, since family members are still with fate.

Liu Bai wasn't a stranger; he was a respectable young man whom their vice-captain had planned to abduct. So, they didn't have any psychological barriers to chatting with Liu Bai.

It could even be said that Liu Bai's willingness to chat with them was what relieved them, considering they were, after all, the defeated party...

“I can’t afford to support thirty or forty of you.”

With the tension gone and him now on the stronger side, Liu Bai felt much more confident chatting with the group of girls.

"By the way, hasn't your vice-captain arrived yet? That's taking way too long."

"They must have noticed something amiss, right? Hmm... After all, I missed a lot of Rita-sama's communications because I was knocked down before, but Rita-sama isn't the kind of person who would abandon her comrades."

Everyone in the Undying Blade team was very confident about this.

"Young man, can you wait patiently?"

"By the way, why do you all call me 'little brother'? I think I'm older than you guys?"

Since Rita wasn't coming, Liu Bai had no other options, so he asked another question.

The girls in the Undying Blade are mostly around eighteen, nineteen, or twenty years old. By normal standards, they would all be students.

"I learned it from my seniors—or should we call you 'sir' too?"

Thinking about it carefully, since this guy already led a group to beat them up, calling him "little brother" with such a frivolous title is not quite appropriate.

"Well, Mr. Liu Bai, why don't you call the vice-captain yourself? I feel like your call might be more effective than ours. Lady Rita went out to pick out a gift for you today," one of the team members added from the side.

"So, does the vice-captain know..."

"Of course I don't know," came a slightly resentful voice from the alley.

Rita, wearing the Moon Soul Armor, walked out of the alley.

It was a bright smile, but there was something strangely creepy about it.

Huang Quan stood silently to the side, gripping his knife.

"You are not a powerful being from the World Serpent... nor are you a powerful being from Earth, so are you a powerful being from the universe?"

Rita holds the sickle horizontally.

"So, Mr. Liu Bai, you are that alien, and Miss Gui too? Because of that pot... so there are actually more than two aliens. Rita has really been manipulated by you. You must be very pleased with yourself for that?"

Rita seemed to have figured out what had happened recently, her kind tone laced with anger that was about to erupt like a volcano.

"Um...would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?"

Liu Bai felt inexplicably guilty.

This looks more like a wife catching her husband cheating on her!

"Although the process and the result... well, in short, there were some coincidences."

Oh no, oh no, it feels like this relationship is going to fall apart if it's not handled properly.

But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, we've been completely deceived and are now on the opposing side. Liu Bai can understand it quite well.

"What a coincidence... that's too much of a coincidence. Isn't that young lady going to take me down?"

"I'm saying... Rita, are you being unreasonable?"

Liu Bai refused to believe that Rita could understand her own situation but not the whole process.

Ultimately, no one actually suffered any loss in the entire process.

“Hmm…I…maybe that’s true.” Ritas didn’t deny it. “I came here partly to see what you were up to, and partly…maybe just to cause some trouble? After all, being betrayed isn’t a pleasant feeling.”

"...Shall we go?"

Huang Quan also sensed that something was off about the atmosphere. He had already prepared to go, but he stopped and asked again.

"Does this person have private business with you?"

"...Strictly speaking, did I deceive their feelings?"

"That's really not something to sympathize with, but if you'd like, I can help you with that."

Huang Quan acted as if he were doing his job as a mercenary.

"...Huang Quan, do you think I can beat her?"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bai asked a question.

"Or rather, is the win rate 70%?"

If you have the opportunity, go for it yourself; that would be a way of giving an explanation. If not, just back down.

After all, you can't reload a save file in real life.

“She had no intention of killing, and I was there too.” Huang Quan’s answer was concise and to the point.

No killing intent means no full strength will be used.

Even if we lose, nothing will happen because she's there.

"...If that's the case, then I'll go for it."

It's clear that Huang Quan also supports Liu Bai personally taking the lead.

Huang Quan also knew that things involving emotional entanglements would be very troublesome, especially since Liu Bai was in the wrong.

Liu Bai picked up the katana that Kujo Saro had dropped on the ground.

【Black Feather Katana (Weapon)】

[Each strike has a 10% chance to grant Raven Feather Protection, triggering a bolt of lightning at the strike location.]

"I can tell, you just want to beat me up, right? Hmm, I understand." Bai's tone was helpless.

"But please try to understand the difficulties I face as a newcomer alien trying to navigate between the two places!"
