A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

You really can't tell from his appearance that Mr. Gu Yu is such a scheming person. Indeed, you really can't judge a book by its cover.

With her mind racing, Rita touched the fragments of corpses with her weapon, the Gene Reaper, and began to wait quietly.

Her scythe-shaped weapon, the "Gene Harvester," can decode all of an opponent's biological data and simultaneously change the armor's tactical mode as long as a single gene sample is obtained during combat.

This ability can not only be used to adjust the tactical modes of the armor, but also to record the collected genetic data in the Destiny's database.

If this information could be brought back to Bishop Otto, perhaps he could discover something from it.

However, this time, Rita was wrong.

After coming into contact with the corpses, the Gene Harvesters did not collect anything that could be used as data.

After Rita waited for a few seconds, she and Gu Yu watched as the shattered corpses turned into a wisp of black mist and dissipated into the atmosphere.

"These things...aren't living beings?"

Rita frowned slightly as she watched the black mist dissipate into the atmosphere.

These enemies are definitely not Honkai Beasts, since Rita didn't sense any Honkai energy from them.

However, unlike the abnormal monsters that Bishop Otto named "Outsiders," these monsters, which appeared to have flesh and blood, left no physical form after their defeat.

PS1: Second update.

Chapter 269. The Surging Black Mist

After seeing the Gurongi turn into black mist, unlike Rita, Gu Yu had already thought of a possible enemy.

Perhaps no Grongi with similar abilities appeared in the TV anime series and spin-off works of "Kamen Rider Kuuga".

However, in "Kamen Rider Decade", there was once a monster with similar abilities.

That is the [Ultimate Darkness] that exists in the parallel universe of my world—En Gamio Jeda.

This King of the Gurongi from a parallel world, although defeated by the basic form of Decade and the inexperienced parallel Kuuga, does not mean that he is a weakling.

The black mist it spews out can transform humans into Gurongi, and it can also use telekinesis and lightning to easily pierce through the divine armor on Decade, almost deactivating its transformation in one blow.

What's even more terrifying is that Gamio can use the black mist to transform humans into mass-produced Gurongi, and afterwards, he can absorb the black mist into his body to strengthen himself.

A superior Grongi that can transform humans into Grongi and absorb mass-produced Grongi to strengthen itself.

Perhaps when he first awakened, his strength was not as great as that of the ultimate level [En Daguba Jeba], but if given enough time, and having absorbed a large number of subordinates, the extent of Gamio's combat power would be completely unknown.

Seeing Rita frowning as the Gurongi turned into black mist, Gu Yu asked helplessly.

"Is this what you were about to say?"

"Yes, Mr. Gu Yu. In fact, several days ago, the headquarters of Destiny received a message that some unidentified black fog had appeared in London."

"And some homeless people near London have gone missing."

As she watched the dissipating black mist, Rita suddenly had a guess.

Are all of these homeless people...?

"I understand—this matter must be dealt with seriously."

After reverting to his original form, Gu Yu spoke seriously to Rita.

"With your S-rank Valkyrie privileges, check how many people have gone missing since the black mist appeared."

"Once you've found out everything, tell me all the information. Don't try anything funny right now."

"If this isn't handled properly, the whole of London... no, even the whole of Europe could be in big trouble. I'm not kidding!"

"I see."

Seeing the expression on Gu Yu's face, Rita also put away her usual leisurely demeanor and began to contact the intelligence personnel of the Destiny Headquarters with utmost seriousness.

Even if Gu Yu didn't say anything, she planned to investigate this matter thoroughly.

There are only three S-class Valkyries in the Destiny faction, and if you include Theresa, who has already retired, then there are only four.

In Destiny, A-rank Valkyries are both the second-tier combat force and the backbone of the team.

This time, in order to silence Rita, twelve A-rank Valkyries appeared all at once.

Whether Rita can defeat these enemies or not, this is already a huge undertaking.

If this were the enemy's full strength, that would be fine. But to dispatch such a level of combat power so easily, is the enemy really only at this level?

How strong is the enemy's fighting force?

Emperor-class Honkai Beast?

Judgment-class Honkai Beast?

Even more so...

—Has the mastermind behind this reached the level of a Herrscher?

The more Rita thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

Don't be fooled by Gu Yu beside her; he's already taken down several Herrschers and pseudo-Herrschers in a row. Herrscher-level combat power is already at the pinnacle in this world.

Raiden Mei was forced to awaken as the Herrscher of Thunder, which resulted in the deaths of millions of people.

If Wendy Weider hadn't had her fourth Honkai attack forcibly interrupted by Gu Yu, she probably would have destroyed most of New Zealand, where the Oceania branch was located.

One person can destroy a country; if the other side is allowed to continue its actions, it is not impossible for it to cause even greater damage.

What's most troubling now is that this enemy, lurking in the shadows, has absolutely no intention of showing itself.

Compared to those two Herrschers who swelled to the point of explosion upon awakening, enemies with brains are obviously much more troublesome.

"Lord Otto, something terrible has happened. Actually, based on my investigation and speculation..."

At that moment, Rita said something that made Otto lose his composure.

"The trouble caused by the black fog incident is far greater than we imagined."

........................

Raven, who had been observing all of this from a short distance away, suddenly put away the Third Divine Key.

Compared to Rita, who was beside Gu Yu, Raven, who possessed the Third Divine Key, managed to catch a glimpse of Gu Yu's movements.

She wasn't surprised how strong her little brother was, but the key point was—a new problem had arisen.

The monsters that Jackal studied last time were clearly not from the same species as the Honkai Beasts.

These monsters, which turn back into black mist after being killed, are a new type of enemy compared to the small monsters and Honkai Beasts from before.

World Serpent is indeed an organization fighting against the Honkai, but while fighting the Honkai, they also need to prevent other problems from arising in this world.

Otherwise, if they wait until they pull out the Lord of their World Serpent, and the Lord sees it and thinks, "Oh, the world I was going to save has been destroyed by other enemies besides the Collapse," what will happen?

Raven thought that when the time came, none of the World Serpent's cadres would have a good time.

“Jackal, the situation has changed. I request a postponement of the ‘Rita Losweiser Kill Mission’.”

“…That’s rare, Raven.”

On the other end of the communicator, Jackal asked with great interest.

"You don't want the bounty anymore?"

"...It has nothing to do with this!"

After angrily roaring at the jackal, Raven forced himself to calm down and continued speaking to his unpleasant colleague.

"The intelligence about the black fog appearing in London was mentioned to us by Grey Serpent a few days ago. At the time, neither of us took it seriously."

"But now it seems that the source of this black mist is not simple. I saw something that resembles the black mist near the mission objective."

"Judging from the battle situation, the combat power of the black mist creations seems to be quite extraordinary."

After the raven revealed this information, the jackal fell silent.

However, on the other end of the communicator, the gray snake next to the jackal interrupted.

"Raven, then this mission will be temporarily suspended, as you wish. But at the same time, you need to thoroughly investigate the source of this black mist."

"After I saw the intelligence about this black fog a few days ago, I casually investigated whether there were any similar cases of missing persons in London recently. It turned out that it would have been better if I hadn't investigated. After my informants took action, several of them were silenced."

"In the end, I found out that there were about 543 missing persons, but these figures were suppressed by certain people."

"And as the price for this data..."

"Today, all my informants were silenced."

PS: This is the third update. I'm making up for the missed updates from my last leave of absence.

Chapter 270. Ultimate Darkness

Have all of Gray Serpent's informants been wiped out?

If an ordinary person who doesn't know the industry heard this news, they would probably laugh a couple of times and then think that Gray Snake's subordinates are unreliable.

However, neither Raven nor Jackal, as partners of the Gray Serpent, would have such an extremely foolish idea.

Gray Serpent's public identity is that of an intelligence broker; the intelligence he possesses is gathered through various means.

The informants who connected with Gray Snake were either of ordinary or quite influential.

But now, all of these people are dead?

"If this matter is investigated further, it will likely uncover a major problem. The strength of that strange being created by the black mist... Hmph, interesting."

After pondering for a long time, the jackal spoke to the raven.

"You'd better be a little careful when investigating the source of the black mist. More than 500 people have gone missing, and strange people have also appeared."

"If you think about it for a moment, even you can figure out what exactly happened during that time."
