I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

Its ability is more akin to the interception of time.

She inserted her snake's tail into the river of time as an anchor point.

Then, using this anchor point as a starting point, it spreads forward, enveloping the river during this period.

Then, one can freely change the future direction of this river of time.

If she is not satisfied with this flow, she can simply turn back the river of time to the point in time when her tail was fixed.

And all future events will be abandoned.

Subaru Natsuki's description of "game save points" is a good overview of this ability.

While this ability has various limitations, it is indeed very convenient.

At least for now, Zhongli is quite satisfied with this ability to steal knowledge.

He now has one more trump card to use in Teyvat, so at least he doesn't have to worry about running out of tools if the Traveler accidentally falls to his death while piloting the Windwing.

With this ability, he can also fix an anchor point, rewind time, and easily resurrect everyone who died after that anchor point.

After reviewing the gains from this trip to the witch's world and the world of sorcery, Zhongli nodded slightly in satisfaction.

He then opened the chat group and, as usual, began to kill some time.

-----The Promising Future True Lord Joins the Chat Group-----

I am Subaru Natsuki: Ah, Zhongli Normal School, you've arrived.

Future Promising True Lord (Zhongli): Hmm... Subaru, you've done well in your world. Such determination and action are admirable, even I would admire you.

I am Subaru Natsuki: Hehehe, Zhongli Normal School, you flatter me. I just did what I was supposed to do, and stopped running away.

I am Subaru Natsuki: Cherish yourself, cherish others, and only by loving yourself can you love others. I think everyone understands this principle. But I only truly understood it during this crisis.

I am Subaru Natsuki: So, there's no need to praise me. I'm just a little Subaru Natsuki, at most a bit better than the useless NEET of the past.

The Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): Hmm.....

Ten Thousand Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): I have a feeling that you, the useless NEET, are acting a little different. What exactly did you encounter in this mission you were given? This mature useless NEET is not the useless NEET I know. Give me back the useless NEET!

I am Subaru Natsuki: Although I appreciate your concern, Hakurei, you've said too much, haven't you? It's making me angry.

Ten Thousand Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): Hahaha~~! Have I called you a useless NEET a bit too many times? I don't really feel it, it's just that your focus is too strange, useless NEET.

I am Subaru Natsuki: You bastard, wanna fight? What are you yelling about, you 100,000 yen toilet shrine maiden, a fake shrine maiden without even a god?

Ten Thousand Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): That's more like it. You useless NEET, what are you pretending to know all about things, looking so sincere? That wasn't like you just now.

Villain (Accelerator): Tch! Useless NEET.

I am Natsuki Subaru: Those who call others trash are the trash themselves. A trashy shrine maiden, a trashy perverted lolicon.

Ten Thousand Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): Ah, you're mimicking my speech.

I'm going to lay ten eggs for Kobayashi (Thor): Ah~~! Are you two having a childish argument??

The Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): Hahaha~~! Interesting, interesting.

Wings Unfurled (Sexy Prisoner): Okay, okay, Subaru Natsuki and Accelerator are both good boys, and Reimu is of course a good girl too.

Red-flower Immortal (Fu Hua): I haven't been looking at the chat group closely lately, and it seems everyone has been through a lot.

Wings Unfurled (Sexy Prisoner): Miss Fu Hua, it's been a long time.

Genji (Yukino Yukinoshita): Lady Fu Hua, it's been a long time. It must have been a long time since our last conversation.

Fu Hua (Red Iris Immortal): Yeah, it's been quite a while. I didn't expect to be so busy during this time; I've missed several missions.

Fu Hua (Red-Robed Immortal): As you all probably know, I really need points due to some personal reasons, so I've always enjoyed participating in missions. I'm currently short several thousand points. If any of you have missions to post, please invite me; I'll accept them all as long as I have the time.

I want to lay ten eggs for Kobayashi (Thor): Me too, me too. I've also been needing a lot of points lately. To raise Kobayashi's life level to the point where she can lay eggs with me, I need at least 100,000 more points. So, if any of you have any tasks, I'm happy to oblige!

I want to lay ten eggs for Kobayashi (Thor): By the way, if any friend is willing to sell a chat group slot, please sell one to me. I want to give it to Kobayashi. I'm willing to offer 2 points.

100,000 Points Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): I'd also like to accept an invitation. However, I can only offer 10,000 points. But I'm planning to add a youkai to the chat group; although they have a terrible personality, they're very strong. We'll definitely check in diligently every day and try to pay back the points as soon as possible.

I am Subaru Natsuki: Although I also want to give Emilia one, I have no points left, so I can only watch.

The Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): Hmm... If you are all willing to wait, I do have two invitation slots that I can already be sure of.

I want to give Kobayashi ten eggs (Thor): Then give me one!

Ten Thousand Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): Give me one too [picture]. By the way, when can you get one, Lord Zhongli?

The Promising Future (Zhongli): About fifty years from now. However, time progresses at different rates in this interconnected world of chat groups. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow. Perhaps it won't take fifty years.

The Hundred Thousand Dollar Miko (Hakurei Reimu): .....

The Hundred Thousand Dollar Miko (Hakurei Reimu): .....

The 100,000 Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): I died fifty years ago!!! The grass on my grave is already three feet tall!!!

I want to lay ten eggs for Kobayashi (Thor): ....

Sister's Ultimate Move (High): Reimu, let me remind you. The system shop sells life-extending items, and they're not actually that expensive. You probably won't die in fifty years; at most, you'll become a toothless old woman.

100,000 Yen Shrine Maiden (Reimu Hakurei): Do you want to die a hundred times??

Chapter Three: Fu Hua and Otto

Honkai Impact

With a smile, Fu Hua put down his phone, closed the multiverse chat group, and glanced around.

This is the headquarters of Schicksal located in the skies above Europe. Fu Hua had just returned 15 hours earlier.

She defeated Kiana, who was nearly devoured by the Herrscher core, and together with the strongest S-rank Valkyrie Durandal, sent her back to Schicksal's headquarters and handed her over to Schicksal's Archbishop Otto Apocalypse.

Although she herself had a slight doubt, she instinctively didn't quite trust Otto Apocalypse, this cunning character.

But in the end, she did not break the contract she had signed.

---At least until Otto actually does something to betray humanity, she has no intention of rebelling and will continue to trust him.

"Is Lady Fu Hua smiling? It seems she's encountered something good." An elegant voice suddenly came from beside her.

Fu Hua turned his head warily and looked at the woman who walked out from the corner.

The newcomer was dressed in a black and white maid outfit with rose accessories. Her short, silver-gray hair covered her left eye and was adorned with a striking bull horn hair ornament. Black silk stockings hugged her long, slender legs as she walked step by step toward Fu Hua.

Incidentally, she also had a decorative stocking band tied around her right leg, which tightened her smooth skin.

"Rita Losweisse, the S-rank Valkyrie and vice-captain of the 'Undying Blade' squad, is there something you need?"

Fu Hua responded with a rather firm statement.

“No.” Rita placed her hands, gloved in silk, at the hem of her skirt, like a real maid, and shook her head slightly with a faint smile: “No, no, Lady Fu Hua, I’m fine.”

"Just came to see you briefly. Hmm... by order of Archbishop Otto Apocalypse."

"As a Valkyrie who has not returned to headquarters for a long time, the headquarters has changed a lot. So, Your Excellency, you would like me to show you around the headquarters so that you can get familiar with it."

"Perfect timing, Lady Fu Hua can also take a break. After all, whether it's the undercover surveillance at St. Freya Academy, the fight in the Serenity Gem incident in Singapore, or the battle against K-423 at the Far East Branch, Lady Fu Hua has worked extremely hard."

"Lady Fu Hua, balancing work and rest is very important~~~!"

Fu Hua glanced at the girl in front of her and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Rita made no attempt to conceal her identity as Archbishop Otto Apocalypse, the spy.

But this is somewhat strange.

After all, Fu Hua is now officially the Valkyrie under Archbishop Otto Apocalypse, and should naturally obey his orders.

As for Otto, who had made a contract with her, he should know her personality. As long as Otto still has the thought of completely eliminating the Honkai in his heart, his slight cold-bloodedness will not make Fu Hua rebel.

---In other words, Otto might be doing something that would make me rebel if I knew about it.

---Betrayal of humanity? ? Creating chaos?

--Impossible. If that were the case, even Rita and Durandal in front of him would probably no longer obey his orders.

---So that's probably related to Kiana being brought back? Is he using Kiana for human experimentation??

---Insufficient information; we need to take our time to plan.

--But...but...sacrifice is inevitable on the path to fighting against the Honkai.

---Oh dear!

Fu Hua's expression gradually turned cold, but after a few seconds, it returned to normal.

Seeing her expression, Rita remained silent, simply placing her hands together on her lower abdomen and waiting quietly.

"let's go."

Rita naturally agreed with Fu Hua's declaration.

The two then wandered around the rather uninteresting headquarters of Destiny, one after the other.

As a semi-fortress-like headquarters, there's not much to wander around in.

Just as Fu Hua knew that Rita was there to spy on her, Rita also knew that Fu Hua knew that Rita was spying on her.

Fu Hua remained silent the whole way, while Rita, fulfilling her duties as a maid, kept explaining the situation.

"This is the Third Airport. As one of the airports for entering and leaving the headquarters, its defenses are very comprehensive, and its various combat configurations are basically complete."

"Because it is located in the sky, the weather here is very volatile, and many extreme weather events often occur. Lightning strikes, high temperatures, hail, blood moons. Of course, what I like the most, and what the bishop likes the most, is the aurora borealis in this sky."

"The ever-changing colors, the exquisite brilliance, the starlight that twinkles like stars, and the world itself—all of this is within the sight of this world."

"This is the mecha manufacturing facility..."

After wandering around casually for about two hours, having practically explored the entire Destiny Headquarters, Fu Hua began to find this awkward situation unbearable.

She found a place to stand and said to Rita, "Let me see Otto. I think he has something to say to me."

“Of course, Lady Fu Hua.” Rita bowed slightly, looking like a perfect maid even at this moment.

"Lord Otto has already instructed me that whenever Lady Fu Hua wishes to meet him, she can go to the Helheim Laboratory at any time. About an hour ago, Lord Otto entered the laboratory with K-423's body."

“Okay, take me there.” Fu Hua frowned. “I want to ask you directly, what exactly is Otto planning to do?”

“Of course. Lady Fu Hua, please come with me,” Rita said with a smile.
