A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

In conclusion, Kevin's trip to New Zealand has achieved all of his strategic goals.

Aside from almost being beaten to death by Gu Yu, all other goals were achieved—and all of them were accomplished by taking advantage of loopholes.

Kevin felt very conflicted when he thought about this.

On the one hand, he really didn't want to admit that he was able to easily regain his peak power only because of that boy.

On the other hand, Kevin felt extremely ashamed.

After the boy fought the weakened Herrscher [Binding Herrscher], his physical abilities and brainwaves should have been weakened to the extreme.

In this situation, even if he defeats the Herrscher of Binding, he will probably have very little power left.

Normally, Kevin has already abandoned all sportsmanship and resorted to a war of attrition, so defeating Gu Yu should be an easy task.

Then he crashed.

Moreover, the accident was quite serious—after the device on the boy's waist turned from pink to pitch black, Kevin couldn't even manage to hurt him in the slightest.

The boy seemed to have completely understood Kevin's fighting style through the previous battles, and used the power of the Holy Mark he possessed to suppress Kevin from beginning to end.

If Kevin had felt a sense of appreciation for the young man's talent just a day ago, now, after his defeat and fight against Gu Yu, he only had one thought left.

This child is terrifying; he must not be allowed to live.

Hoping that the raven could persuade the other side is clearly impossible.

The boy's words were resolute; he was definitely not someone who could be swayed by emotional appeals.

The two sides' positions could not possibly be aligned. Kevin, who had no intention of backing down even slightly on the Stigmata Project, naturally could not become an ally of Gu Yu.

He was lucky this time and didn't die at Gu Yu's hands.

So, what about next time?

Even though he had seen the boy's moves, Kevin wasn't confident that he could find a weakness in the boy's moves to counter them in the next fight.

It's clearly impossible for Kevin to handle such a varied fighting style by himself.

To truly counter such a powerful opponent with diverse combat methods, one must first obtain all intelligence about the opponent, then have a quantum computer from the previous era perform calculations, and finally have multiple powerful warriors adjust their combat strategies based on the quantum computer's calculations in order to possibly achieve a successful countermeasure.

However, now... quantum computers are a thing of the past.

But Kevin is desperately lacking in intelligence and teammates!

His two old comrades, Su, have been captured by Destiny along with the Second Divine Key, while Hua is infiltrating Destiny's Far East Branch for unknown reasons.

He was left all alone, and with incomplete intelligence, he went to confront Gu Yu head-on...

That's really a case of having a death wish.

"Raven, figure out a way to continue that previous mission."

After thinking for a few minutes, Kevin decided that he should let Raven give it a try.

Raven didn't expect to win Gu Yu over with her emotions, but the foundation of their relationship was still there, so it wouldn't be a bad thing if Raven could stall her for a while.

If Raven could soften Gu Yu's attitude towards World Serpent a bit and make him less aggressive, that would be even better.

Anyway, there aren't any missions in the world that Raven has to complete right now, so it won't hurt to let her give it a try.

"Your Excellency, are you... sure you want to continue?"

Recalling the scene he had witnessed that day, Raven spoke with profound bitterness.

"I think this task..."

"You don't need to succeed. Just give it a try. We won't blame you if you fail."

"……I see."

Since the boss had already said all that, Raven certainly couldn't say "I won't do it" anymore.

However, deep down, she didn't believe there was even a one percent chance that she could complete the task.

Sigh, whatever, I'll just obediently follow orders.

"Also, Gray Serpent, have the other members of the World Serpent branch prepare."

After realizing that the Second Divine Key was still in Destiny's hands, Kevin's eyes gradually filled with murderous intent.

"Jackal and her research team continue the Stigmata Project. Tell her to speed things up; given the current time intervals between Herrscher appearances, we don't have much time left."

"As for the combat troops... find Schicksal's headquarters for me, and then wait until my injuries heal..."

"I will personally go to the headquarters of Destiny and have a good talk with that so-called archbishop of Destiny about the Thousand Realms One Vehicle."

Chapter 377. Good heavens, the thieves have even come knocking on our door!

World Snake Base. Prison

Inside the Honkai Energy Suppression Prison at the World Serpent Base, Jackal coldly stared at the man inside, clicking his tongue in resentment.

"Tsk, this guy... he really knows how to annoy me!"

"Why don't you just let us use you as props?"

Inside the prison, Siegfried Kaslana, the strongest warrior of the Kaslana clan at this level, had his eyes tightly closed.

Unlike usual, the one-armed man with his eyes closed had no expression on his face.

He stood silently in the prison, like an ice sculpture...

No, to be precise, Siegfried right now is a block of ice sculpture.

Although Siegfried lost an arm after fighting K423, who had temporarily awakened as Sirin, he also lost most of his fighting ability because he could not control the super-mutant factor in his body.

Even so, this veteran would not forget his years of combat experience due to physical reasons.

On that day, when Gray Serpent and Jackal led their team to attack the Anti-Entropy branch base, Siegfried, realizing that he could not defeat them, immediately made a choice.

After covering Raiden Ryoma's retreat, Siegfried immediately chose to stop controlling the super-mutant factor within his body in order to prevent himself from being used by the enemy.

As the Honkai Beast Super-Transformation Factor inherited from Kevin Kaslana, the original Kaslana, completely emptied from spacetime within his body, Siegfried was immediately enveloped in the power of ice.

Under these circumstances, the Jackal and the Gray Snake could not, in a short period of time, use Siegfried to do anything against his will.

Although Siegfried temporarily lost his freedom, he at least managed to retain his last shred of dignity.

However, as his body was self-frozen, Siegfried naturally lost most of his consciousness.

Now, apart from being able to sense whether anyone else is around, he can no longer perceive any other information.

Moreover, Siegfried knew that this state could not be maintained for too long.

Honkai Beast Factor ultimately originates from Honkai Beasts, and for the human body, this thing is the most terrifying poison.

If this semi-uncontrolled state of the factor continues, Siegfried will either suffer physical problems or his consciousness will gradually shift towards the Honkai Beast side.

In either case, it wouldn't be a good thing for Siegfried.

The jackal knew about the Kaslana bloodline, so she naturally knew that Siegfried didn't have much time left.

For Jackal, she doesn't have much time left in this regard.

Kevin was beaten so badly that, according to Jackal's research, the simplest and most direct way to get him back to his best condition quickly is to find the Honkai Beast Factor and inject it back into Kevin's body to strengthen his shattered body.

As a descendant of the Kaslana clan, Siegfried was already considered a large-scale blood vial in the eyes of the Grey Serpent and the Jackal... but now, the blood vial has sealed itself.

"Really, they are clearly descendants of the Lord, so why don't they just obediently offer their bodies to the Lord?"

As the instrument continued to melt the solid ice, Jackal could only hope that she could extract the super-mutant factor from Siegfried's body before Kevin made a final decision to take action.

Although this matter was not reported to the Lord, I believe the Lord will not care about these details.

Next, as long as I can research the activator for the Stigmata Project...

Just as Jackal was preparing to proceed with his next plan, an alarm suddenly sounded throughout the World Snake Base.

"what!"

The raven and gray snake beside Kevin, as well as the jackal near the prison, all changed their expressions at this moment.

The fact that the World Serpent's base was discovered so quickly is clearly impossible.

Although the World Serpent organization has a complex composition, it has only a handful of members at the top, and no more than ten people, including Kevin, know about this base.

Currently, only four members of the World Serpent have access to the quantum teleportation system: Kevin, Raven, Gray Serpent, and Jackal.

In this situation, the probability of something happening at this base is almost the same as not happening at all.

However, upon hearing the alarm, Gray Snake immediately connected to the external communication and couldn't help but shout it out.

"What did you say???"

"Okay, I see."

After coldly hanging up the communication, Gray Snake looked at Kevin, who was waiting for his report, and recounted the intelligence he had just received in detail.

"My Lord. We have just received reports from other World Serpent members... Destiny has launched a full-scale attack on our World Serpent."

“From the major branch bases to the Mikoyan Design Bureau and Shencheng Pharmaceutical, they have all been targeted by Destiny.”

"The companies that are openly operating have not yet been dealt with severely by Destiny. However, the bases that are lying in wait in the shadows have already been attacked by some of Destiny's branches."

Upon hearing this information, Kevin immediately frowned.

"Heaven's Mandate...they attacked first?"

Although Kevin originally intended to defeat Destiny and reclaim the Second Divine Key and Su, being attacked and taking the initiative are two completely different situations.

If Kevin launches a preemptive strike after all preparations are complete, he is confident that he can reclaim the Second Divine Key once he reaches the Schicksal headquarters.

But right now, Kevin has just been seriously injured and needs to rest, and the World Serpent's combat forces have not yet assembled.

The World Serpent combat force was a disorganized mess, fighting independently in its branch bases without Kevin's leadership...

Although I don't want to put it too harshly, Kevin feels that this battle can be declared over.

"Get everyone to figure out a way to retreat, and then find out exactly what Destiny is trying to do."

Recalling his entanglements with destiny, Kevin, though still wearing a cold expression, was filled with anger.

"This, I've already investigated. After the Valkyries, fleet, and Divine Machines of Schicksal defeated our people, they began a large-scale search. Based on the snippets of information gathered from the surveillance equipment within the base..."

"They are looking for a young man with white hair, wearing blue clothes..."
