A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

"The small-scale collapse caused by Wendy destroyed the Oceania branch base. Now, less than 30% of the personnel remain in the base, and all have been evacuated."

"As for the Fourth Herrscher, he has already been dealt with by Gu Yu."

Am I overthinking things? I have a feeling that Grandpa seems a little happy.

"Oh? That kid's here too?"

Looking at Theresa helping Gu Yu up, Otto said with a hint of regret.

"It's a pity that this kid still seems to have a prejudice against Destiny. Otherwise, if we let him join Destiny, he would definitely be able to make more contributions to saving humanity."

"Theresa, I now order you to take Wendy and Gu Yu back to Schicksal headquarters. Wait where you are, and I will send other personnel to pick you up."

"No need, Archbishop Otto."

Just then, the Oceania branch leader, who was supposed to have left, calmly walked into the battlefield from the outside.

"The Oceania branch still has some helicopters left. I will take them to headquarters to report back."

"Oh? That's perfect."

Looking at his subordinates, Otto offered words of comfort with a heavy expression.

“I didn’t want this to happen at the Oceania branch either. Please accept my condolences.”

"I will arrange funding and manpower to rebuild the Oceania branch in the future."

Haha, you're kidding me.

After hearing Otto's words, the person in charge expressed his gratitude on the surface, but inwardly thought with disdain.

You don't treat us like human beings at all, who are you trying to fool?

To be honest, you impulsively got involved with ME Society a couple of days ago, which resulted in all the branches having their funds cut. Now where are you going to get the money to rebuild the Oceania branch?

That scoundrel! He couldn't even be bothered to make up a proper empty promise. He clearly doesn't care about our entire branch at all!

“I understand, Grandpa. I will take them to the Destiny headquarters. But…”

After taking a deep look at her respected family member, Theresa added a sentence.

"I have to stay with them during the physical examination."

"That's no problem. Rather, I'm not surprised at all that you care about your students."

After readily agreeing to his granddaughter's request, Otto gave a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.

After Otto finished his communication, Theresa looked at the person in charge beside her with a hint of reproach.

"Didn't I tell you to leave the battlefield? Don't you know how terrifying Herrschers are?!"

“That’s exactly why I’m staying here, Theresa. I’m not a Valkyrie fighting on the front lines, but I’m not a coward who abandons his comrades either.”

The person in charge glanced at the helicopter not far away and said with a sneer.

"Before I was promoted, I was at least an ace pilot. If necessary, I might be willing to risk my life to create an opportunity for you."

"...Who needs you to sacrifice your lives? You all think this kind of foolish behavior is cool?"

After giving the other party a curt retort, Theresa, dragging Judas and Wendy who was tied to Judas, addressed the person in charge.

“Carry this kid away.”

"Oh, so I'm staying here to be a mover?"

Watching Theresa's departing figure, the person in charge carried Gu Yu on his back and slowly walked forward.

"Well, it's better than being a special forces soldier."

Who would want to give up their life if they weren't forced to?

My wife and daughter are in Oceania. If I don't take down the Herrscher, am I supposed to just watch them die together?

Consciousness Space

In the space of consciousness, Gu Yu slowly awoke.

Then, upon seeing that face that was both very familiar and incredibly unfamiliar, he immediately did a somersault to create distance between himself and the enemy in front of him.

"Hey, long time no see, partner."

This time, however, after seeing Gu Yu manifest her belt, the man in black had no intention of fighting Gu Yu at all.

He chuckled and pulled a card from the card box before casually asking a question.

"How about a truce today? Judging from your expression, you probably aren't in the mood to lane against me, are you?"

"What... exactly are your plans?"

After finally awakening the five control cards, Gu Yu clearly felt that the Honkai energy that should have continued to flow into his body was cut off.

Considering the guy in front of him, Gu Yu could only think of one possibility.

"Yes, just as you thought. I intercepted all that Honkai energy in the end."

"You should thank me properly. If I hadn't intervened, you might have been blown apart by Honkai energy by now."

"Tch, it's just a mutually beneficial arrangement."

After seeing the card in the man's hand, Gu Yu finally understood where the Honkai energy had gone.

One-third of the purple-lighted Imperial Knight card in the man's hand has regained its color.

"Hehe, what's wrong with that? You saved the world as a savior, and I got what I wanted after helping you. It's a win-win situation."

After glancing at the card, the figure in black gradually began to disappear.

"But that day is getting closer and closer. I wonder if you're ready?"

Then, the space of consciousness in front of Gu Yu began to gradually dissipate.

"To become a king or a mount, you will have to face this choice sooner or later."

"Until then, this body will remain with you for the time being."

PS1: Let me tell you something in secret. Actually, in the White Belt Decade team, the so-called "Passion State" is second to last in terms of strength.

Normally speaking, if the decks are exactly the same, the order should be: Yellow Lantern Normal Imperial Knight, Purple Lantern Passionate Imperial Knight (uses cards, abilities, and weapons at will), Showa Complete Form Imperial Knight (commands the first nine knights + Heisei cards) ≈ Heisei Complete Form Imperial Knight (commands the first nine Heisei knights + Showa cards), Giant Complete Form Imperial Knight (based on Giant Knight J, using the power of twenty-five knights at the same time), and Strongest Complete Form Imperial Knight (officially designated as the strongest, don't ask me why).

Why not release the complete version (also known as the God Lord in the martial arts world) first? This thing is stronger than passion, so it should be released later.

Some people will definitely say that Passion can use any of the Riders' abilities—please, Passion can use all the abilities in its complete form, and the complete form's output is twice as high...

PS2: Regarding Seele—the data indicates she is the Herrscher of Death of this era [×]

The information shows that she is merely a Stigmata holder. [√]

PS3: The plot about the immortal turning to the dark side... I have a feeling that this plot will not disappoint me in some way.

I hope miHoYo disappoints me just once, just once.

PS4: My head is starting to throb, I'll go to sleep now.

PS5: Last time when we beat up Fu Hua, subscriptions rebounded. This time when we beat up Wendy, subscriptions rebounded again...

Something feels off...

Chapter 128. Otto: [I'm not home, you'd better leave now!]

Otto Apocalypse has been in a slump these past few days.

Because of the previous head-on clash with Cocolia's ME company, some of the conglomerates under Schicksal suffered serious damage.

From the moment this disaster began, the entire Mandate of Heaven was plunged into a period of minor turmoil.

After all, while most of the Destiny's employees joined the organization to save the world, ...

Without funding, the entire organization simply cannot function!

The equipment costs money, maintaining the equipment costs money, the Valkyrie and the staff's salaries cost money, and the consumption of weapons and equipment costs money.

Even if the development of "Kallen Fantasy 2" is temporarily halted and all the funds are allocated to other branches, it only temporarily quells the complaints of the subordinates.

Otto even received intelligence from some branches that some of their warships couldn't afford cleaners and had to have their captains do the cleaning duties, wiping the decks.

"Ugh... what a load of bullshit this is."

After letting out a sigh, Otto, who had been overwhelmed with work these past few days, just wanted to go back to the lounge and finish the Kallen Fantasy DLC that he had put aside.

He'll have to deal with Cocolia sooner or later, but for now, Lord Otto just wants to get some rest.

"That Rita actually took leave at such a crucial moment. Young people these days have no spirit of dedication at all."

Thinking of his loyal subordinate, who looked dejected and asked for two days off, Otto shook his head helplessly.

"Can't you learn from Durandal? She can go more than thirty days without sleeping and not even panting."

However, just as Otto was about to return to the lounge, his secretary Amber ran up to him and said to him in a flustered manner.

"Lord Otto, I have important intelligence to report!"

“…Speak.”

Seeing Amber's extremely flustered appearance, Otto suddenly wondered if he had forgotten something important because he was too busy.

"As per your instructions, the fusion experiment for the Gem of Desire has been held at the Oceania branch."

"However, things seem to have taken a slight, unexpected turn."

???

Upon hearing Amber mention this, Otto remembered that he had given some instructions before the experiment on the gemstone.
