A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

But he knew that if he stopped here, the enemy, having recovered, would definitely seize the opportunity to launch a desperate counterattack.

can't stop.

We can't stop!

"Let this strike mark the end."

In the final strike, Gu Yu gathered all her strength and poured the full power of both hands into the sound-attacking stick, slamming it heavily onto the taiko drum on the enemy's body.

"boom!"

The moment he completed the attack, Gu Yu saw a burst of flames erupt from the enemy's body.

The [Sonic Strike Drum Burst Flame Drum] in front of him was so powerful from Gu Yu's combination of two types of sonic strikes that it broke into pieces and scattered on the ground.

"Hmph... Hmph hahahahaha!"

Despite being knocked out of his transformation, the man in black, who was sent flying backward, let out a cryptic laugh.

"Very good, very good, partner. That's how it should be."

The joints in his body were visibly twisted, and his chest was caved in quite a bit.

However, Gu Yu, who was also exhausted, did not see any pain on the other person's face.

"This frenzied style of attack is the true attitude you should be showing."

After swaying as he stood up from the ground, two cards suddenly fell from the man in black's body.

"Don't forget this feeling, remember this hatred you have for me, partner."

Before disappearing, the man in black spoke to Gu Yu with utter madness.

"Don't forget..."

"—Knight Decade, you were meant to be the destroyer of the world!"

After saying that, the other person completely disappeared from the spot.

Gu Yu, enduring the pain as she pressed on, looked at the two cards that had fallen to the ground and fell into deep thought.

"[Survive Rekka], [Survive Shippu]... Heh, this guy..."

As the one who drives the power of the Imperial Knights, Kouyu is well aware of the sturdiness of the card box.

Unless the user intends to, it's impossible for the cards to scatter from the card box—otherwise, Gu Yu would have lost all the cards after several fainting spells.

In other words...

"This guy, did he give me these two cards on his own initiative?"

"What is he thinking...?"

Recalling the battle and combining the two cards in her hand, a figure suddenly appeared in Gu Yu's mind.

He already knew from past battles that the enemy could control a part of the mask that he couldn't use.

The last time Eternal appeared was as a boss in the Kamen Rider W series.

There are roughly two possibilities regarding the origin of these two survival cards.

Firstly, there are the cards that appear alongside the Fiery Dragon Fang and the Gale King Serpent.

And another possibility...

"The knight who commands the three great powers of survival: wind, fire, and infinity. Has he already obtained this card?"

PS1: That's all for today's update. I'm going to do some more... what the heck, the other team still has an update coming up.

PS2: The move "Explosive Strike: Great Fire Dance" doesn't exist; it's something I made up, so don't take it as a fact.

Chapter 259. Qualified Candidates

After picking up the two cards, Gu Yu clearly sensed that the world was on the verge of collapse.

When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he had returned to the real world.

"Ugh, this is so troublesome..."

Upon waking up, Gu Yu felt intense pain emanating from all parts of her body.

I glanced down at the pajamas I'd just bought... Hmm, no blood.

"That's strange, I'm not injured, so why does it still hurt so much..."

After taking a deep breath, Gu Yu looked at the ceiling of the room, materialized the Decade Driver, and reached for the Ride Card Box at his waist.

The card box can hold an endless number of cards, and whenever a user has a card they want to draw, the card box will automatically place the card on top of the box.

After drawing out the two cards, Gu Yu stared at the two cards in front of him, namely [Attack, Control, Survival Card: Gale] and [Attack, Control, Survival Card: Blazing Fire], and fell into deep thought.

Putting aside the physical pain for now, phantom pain isn't that hard to understand anyway.

In the battle with the man in black in the consciousness space, Gu Yu overloaded himself and merged the two types of sound strikes into one, paying a huge price to defeat the enemy.

After completing the [Explosive Strike: Great Fire Dance] attack, he even felt that his body almost lost its ability to move on the spot.

Therefore, even though there was nothing wrong with his body in the real world, Gu Yu, who subconsciously felt that he was injured, could still feel intense pain eroding his brain.

But compared to what happened last in the consciousness space, this pain really doesn't matter.

From the very first day Gu Yu met the man in black, he considered him a major...trouble and had always wanted to get rid of him.

However, in the battle just now, the opponent voluntarily handed over two survival cards, which was clearly to help Gu Yu obtain new knight power.

If he truly wanted to eliminate himself and seize control of his body, this person clearly had no reason to help Gu Yu obtain new knightly power.

So, if we set aside the initial first impression, what are the other person's true thoughts?

"This is so troublesome. I can't even ask anyone for help with this kind of thing."

After putting away the two cards, Gu Yu raised her right hand and looked at the Imperial Knight Stigmata in her hand.

Sure enough, the Imperial Knight Stigmata flashed a blinding purple light the moment I looked at it.

"Tch, now I can probably understand how Kiana felt back then. There was a terrifying thing living inside her, and she could lose control of her body if she wasn't careful."

"I have a general idea, I'll go check out that place in a few days."

After letting out a helpless sigh, Gu Yu looked at the clock hanging in the room.

Only ten minutes have passed since he fell asleep.

………………

Reverse Entropy. Between Arks

After the last journey to the Nine Netherworlds, the severely injured Thunder Dragon Horse was secretly sent back to the Anti-Entropy headquarters by Theresa's people.

After that, Ryoma rested for a while before escaping from the clutches of death.

He did contact his daughter, but he could do nothing but comfort her, who was filled with guilt.

Therefore, this time, he fell into deep distress.

Even at this important gathering of anti-entropy enforcers, he seemed somewhat distracted.

Anyone could see that Raiden Ryoma was not in his best condition at this moment.

“Longma, if it’s because of Jiuyou, you don’t need to blame yourself like this.”

Seeing the worry on his subordinate's face, Walter could only offer words of comfort.

"The problem with Anne Mar's betrayal and the sudden awakening of the Herrscher of Thunder is not your fault."

"As for the Xuanyuan Sword and the Divine Land Sacred Mark, it's not a bad thing that they've reached the Far East Branch. This mistake hasn't had a significant impact on our overall plan."

"I know, Alliance Leader, but..."

Recalling the murderous intent in Raiden Mei's eyes when she thrust out her sword that day, Raiden Ryoma felt uneasy.

“Mr. Ryoma, if you’re worried about Mei’s Herrscher personality acting up, you’re probably overthinking it.”

On the other side, Einstein tapped a few times in the air and displayed some data to everyone.

“After you and Xing Mar entered the Nine Netherworld last time, Dr. Tesla and I discovered traces of Cocolia’s former allies.”

"Although we failed to completely breach their firewall, we managed to gather some intelligence while they were taking remedial measures."

"The organization that allied with Cocolia sent a warrior carrying the Divine Key to the Nine Netherworlds. As for the purpose of this mission, I estimate it is related to the Holy Mark and the Xuanyuan Sword of the Nine Netherworlds."

"The Key of God?!"

Upon hearing these three words, Raiden Ryoma frowned.

As a high-level executor of Anti-Entropy, he naturally knew that the Divine Key was a powerful weapon forged by humans from the previous era using the Herrscher Core.

Of the Divine Keys that Anti-Entropy currently knows of, the First Divine Key – Void Treasury, the Fourth Divine Key, the Sixth Divine Key – Black Abyss White Flower, and the Eleventh Divine Key – Oath of Judah have all been confirmed to be in the hands of Destiny.

The Seventh Divine Key – Judgment of Heavenly Fire and the Ninth Divine Key – Star of Eden are respectively controlled by Siegfried Kaslana, the traitor to destiny, and Einstein himself.

The Divine Key is such a terrifying item that just possessing and using it requires immense strength and mental power. In other words, the warrior who possesses the Divine Key must also be such a powerful individual.

"Furthermore, based on our previous analysis, there is a low probability that a Divine Key will resonate with its corresponding Herrscher when they appear in the same space."

"After resonance, even if the original Herrscher power holder suppressed the Herrscher personality, different degrees of personality awakening will occur."

"It seems that Mei was suddenly suppressed by her Herrscher personality that day because this Divine Key appeared in the Netherworld. Judging from Mei's usual performance, as long as she can maintain this state and does not encounter the third Divine Key again, the possibility of her being suppressed by her Herrscher personality again is not high."

Upon hearing this news, Ryoma's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.

After seeing that his companions were no longer worried about the matter, Einstein addressed the group of people present.

“Last time, Mr. Ryoma introduced us to a suitable candidate for the new director of the orphanage. I have already had someone secretly investigate his information.”

"Judging from the results, this woman named Ciola is indeed a qualified candidate."
