A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

"Okay, okay."

It has to be said that Kiana felt a surge of vengeful pleasure as she watched Bishop Otto rise from the ground.

She had long wanted to see this villain who had harmed her parents suffer a humiliating defeat.

However, due to various reasons, Kiana was unable to take revenge on this man and had to cooperate with him in order to maintain the existing status of the two families.

Now, even though she couldn't punish him herself, seeing the deep dents on Otto's face...

It was pretty fun.

However, at the same time, watching Gu Yu's departing figure, Kiana also had some thoughts in her mind.

Big brother, why did you suddenly become so angry after hearing what Bishop Otto said?

Wait a minute, considering his previous resistance, could it be that...

—Damn it, is that woman named Mei really that much of a threat?!

………………

After Gu Yu left, Otto, leaning against the alloy wall, shakily got up from the ground.

"Lord Otto, I am incompetent and unable to hold off Mr. Gu Yu."

After seeing the dent on Otto's face, Rita walked helplessly to Otto's side and said apologetically to the dent.

"Your subordinate is incompetent; please punish me, Your Excellency."

"Forget it, it's none of your business. That kid just doesn't play by the rules, you don't even have a chance to use your words, it would be a miracle if you could stop him."

Remembering everything that had just happened, Otto felt incredibly angry.

He is the Archbishop of Destiny, isn't he?

Since he assassinated his father five hundred years ago, Otto had rarely experienced such humiliation until 2014.

If we have to trace it back, he was only slapped in the face by that blockhead Joyce once in the last century.

But this year, in just over a month, he was beaten twice at the Tianming Base, twice in total!

Moreover, the second time was even at the headquarters of Destiny, and no one at that base could stop that brat!

"Rita? Your Excellency?"

Just then, a vibrant voice suddenly reached the ears of the three from outside the door.

Durandal, who was training at the Schicksal headquarters, heard the commotion and walked to the vicinity of the room.

Durandal was stunned when she saw the scars on Otto's face.

Last time Otto fought Gu Yu at the Far East Branch, Durandal was distracted by Otto, so she had no idea that Otto had been beaten up.

Previously, she thought that Otto and Gu Yu had fallen out because of Otto's order on the Hyperion.

But now...

Rita just mentioned Gu Yu's name?

Considering the wounds on Bishop Otto's body...

"Durandal..."

Upon seeing the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny appear before him, Otto instantly had the idea of 'why not let this girl go and teach that kid Gu Yu a lesson?'

But a moment later, he suppressed the thought.

After several attempts, Otto has given up on testing Gu Yu's abilities.

The number of armors that the opponent could create through the Holy Marks was enormous. Considering that the armor that the kid exposed was basically all different, Otto even suspected that this guy had hundreds more sets of this combat armor.

Even if he could find out all the information about the armor, and even analyze that information to figure out how to deal with it, it would be of no use.

He has fought against others in the past as a Honkai Warrior.

Therefore, Otto was well aware that in the ever-changing battlefield, mastering theoretical methods did not guarantee victory over the opponent.

Putting everything else aside—while you're still preparing Plan A, that kid has already upgraded to C armor. Your countermeasures are completely useless; the other side can beat you up like it's nothing.

That would be a risky move. Even if Otto wielded the Void Treasury, he wouldn't be able to react instantly.

"Never mind, it's alright. Rita, you should go back to Undying Blade too."

Thinking about everything that had happened today, Otto said wearily to Amber.

“Amber, contact the Far East Branch’s headquarters.”

"I have something important to discuss with Theresa."

PS1: The next update will be quite late, so those who haven't slept yet are advised to go to sleep now.

PS2: Someone asked about the Orphnoch setting before, so I'll just say a few words here. I hope 500 words will be enough for me to survive.

In the Faiz series, everyone knows that the Knight's special energy is photon blood, but not many people mention the energy from the Orphnoch side.

The official statement clearly states that Orphnochs possess a substance called "Orphnoch Energy" during battle.

In addition, Orphino's data settings and performance settings have always been two very peculiar sets.

Let me briefly explain the concept of an Orphnoch.

It can pass through a five-centimeter gap, shatter diamonds with its bare hands, immobilize enemies once it sets its sights on them, and has two swords that are even more powerful than when used bare-handed—doesn't this setup seem pretty good?

This is the character design for Kaido Naoya from Orpheus. As for the plot... well, those who know, know.

Completely unused ability.jpg

Okay, let's get back to the main topic. As an agile type of Orpheus, Kaidou is definitely lacking in destructive power, but even this type of Orpheus is a strongman who can shatter diamonds with his bare hands.

Other Orpheus characters have a lot of abilities, like shattering iron balls and piercing through iron plates. President Hanagata can even destroy huge buildings with resonance waves. In terms of character design and output, they are really not bad.

The reason why the Faiz series has been persecuted for so many years is largely due to its data settings; it's not easy to see the strength directly.

Chapter 250. Remember, this is a top-secret mission!

After returning to the Far East branch from her previous journey through the Nine Netherworlds, Theresa, amidst Himeko's complaints, made a decision...

—I'll continue to leave the clerical work to Himeko.

Although her old friend's health had gradually improved, Theresa knew that Himeko Murata's strength as a Valkyrie had rapidly declined as the serum had healed her body.

Himeko's current strength may have already fallen short of A-rank Valkyrie.

However, Theresa knew that this was not a bad thing.

If Himeko's body is allowed to continue to be eroded by artificial stigmata, her life will certainly end within one or two years.

Rather than watching the other person die like this, Theresa would rather let Himeko continue like this.

After all, 997 is better than 000.

Once Himeko is familiar with her clerical work, Theresa will be able to smoothly transfer her back from the front lines to the rear.

As for the Stigmata that appeared in the Nine Nether Labyrinth last time, Theresa has confirmed through the analysis of the Far East Branch that this Stigmata is the one that matches the Stigmata on her body.

She hasn't had time to deal with the Far East branch's messy affairs these days because transplanting this holy mark onto her body required an immense amount of effort.

And just like before—after this holy mark merged into her body, it kept changing her way of thinking.

Sometimes, Theresa even felt a sense of dread, thinking that after she found the last Stigmata and transplanted it into herself, she would no longer be the person she used to be.

"But this power is essential...!"

Feeling the power emanating from the Stigmata, Theresa endured the pain and put on a calm and collected demeanor.

Only after her mindset was changed did she realize how foolish she had been in the past.

Because of her foolishness, the plan to save Kiana ultimately failed.

Although her grandfather Otto did not pursue the matter afterward, Theresa knew that the other party must have already begun to be wary of her.

Putting aside everything else, some of the dozen or so spies in St. Freya Academy even had a life-or-death bond with Theresa.

If it weren't for that initial stigmata, she felt she definitely wouldn't have discovered these nails.

After gathering her thoughts, Theresa immediately connected with Otto.

“It’s been a long time, Grandpa. I’ve already had Rita take the Far East Branch’s report on the last trip to the Nine Netherworlds back to Destiny Headquarters.”

"Yes, I've seen it. Well done, Theresa."

Looking at his granddaughter, Otto, who felt something was off, spoke in a hypocritical tone.

"Let's keep the Divine Key at the Far East Branch for now. Also, I've already dispatched personnel to deal with the remaining Honkai energy in the Nine Netherworlds."

"I'm contacting you today mainly about something else."

"The other thing?"

"I checked the Destiny Database—Gu Yu's parents seem to be acquaintances of yours, right?"

Upon hearing this, Theresa suddenly frowned slightly.

That's strange, her grandfather usually contacts her via video call, right?

Why did the other party only use voice calls today?

This kind of one-way video communication feels a bit strange.

"Yes. His parents, Cecilia, and I did know each other."

"Now, I have a top-secret mission for you. Remember, it is extremely important."

At this point, Otto immediately recalled his artificial Herrscher project.

The Artificial Herrscher Project is a plan to allow Valkyries to possess the Herrscher's power by fusing them with the Herrscher Core.

At the heart of this plan lies a crucial step.
