A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

Chapter 418. Illusion

Listening to the information Otto provided, Fueki Kanade expressed...

Wow, this old man who's over 500 years old is really wicked.

In the nearly six months since he came to this world, he has managed to investigate quite a few things using his magical powers.

Although he didn't have access to the most core internal intelligence of Destiny, he already knew a lot about some information that ordinary people didn't know.

For example—the Herrschers, this special race that was the precursor to the Honkai, how terrifying their individual combat power is.

Once the Honkai energy reaches a certain intensity, a Herrscher will be born during the Great Honkai Impact. Generally speaking, this Great Honkai Impact will inevitably cause a large number of deaths among ordinary people in the surrounding areas.

He couldn't find any information about the distant First Honkai Impact, but during the Second Honkai Impact fourteen years ago, the Second Herrscher, Sirin, caused more than eight figures of human deaths, a fact that was not kept secret from the general public.

Meanwhile, the Third Herrscher, who arrived in this world around the same time, caused the deaths of millions of humans in Changkong City in the Far East.

Although the subsequent Fourth Herrscher [Herrscher of Wind] and Fifth Herrscher [Herrscher of Binding] failed to cause such a disaster, he would not ignore the terrifying combat power of the previous Herrschers just because the later Herrschers were weak.

In a fight, you can't judge an opponent by their limits. After all, sometimes, for various reasons, even the strong can be defeated by the weak.

Even though he was the most powerful magician at the time, he was still instantly killed by the mere illusion he created with two attacks.

Does this mean his flute playing is weak?

A record can only represent a record. The factors that determine a record are definitely not just strength. After that defeat, how could Fueki Kanade still be so naive as to think that someone who loses is weak?

The reason he spoke so confidently was actually just to show Otto that he was a naive guy who, although somewhat intelligent, was incredibly arrogant.

If he were to lose to one of them in a subsequent battle while still managing to survive, Otto's guard against him might continue to drop.

Sacrificing a little face, which is of little use, in exchange for this dangerous ally's lapse in vigilance seems like a very profitable deal.

More importantly, if he tests and finds that his strength is indeed enough to defeat these people, then after he is fully prepared, Fueki Kanade can find an opportunity to search for these people and use them as human sacrifices.

“Mr. Otto, although I am quite satisfied with the strength of the four people you mentioned, however…”

"Where are they now? Even if I wanted to find them to fight and bring them back to the Schicksal headquarters, the information I provided contained details about the locations of these powerful individuals."

Looking at the proud posture of the flute player, Otto continued with a slight smile.

“If Dr. Wiseman really intends to take action personally, then I suggest starting with Siegfried and Walter. After all, the latter two are indeed more difficult to deal with than the former two.”

After all, compared to the two guys in front, facing the two guys behind you would make it difficult for you to even walk.

It doesn't matter if you die, but before you die, I have to trick you into revealing the "secret ritual of resurrection" you mentioned.

So, I'll hold off on letting you deliver it for now.

"As for the location of these two... I can only say that they should be in North America. After all, even after Siegfried defected to Anti-Entropy, we at Schicksal still haven't been able to find the exact address of Anti-Entropy's headquarters."

"As for the other steps and materials required for the ritual, Doctor, please give them to Rita as you wish, and she will take care of everything else."

After saying this, Otto spoke quite frankly.

"I know the Doctor doesn't trust me, so I completely understand why you want to keep the core contents of the ritual from me. But as for the preliminary preparations and materials, I think telling me as a sign of sincerity isn't an unreasonable request, is it?"

"Of course. I don't actually need much. But I'm afraid Bishop Otto won't agree..."

Recalling her plan, Fueki suddenly glanced at Rita next to Otto.

"The resurrection ritual, after I improved the magic circle, requires the conversion of the bio-energy of approximately ten million humans. Of course, I'm not some kind of demon..."

Seemingly having seen through Rita's inner disgust, Fueki Kanade immediately continued.

"Of course I don't want so many people to die because of me, so after I improved the magic circle, I reduced the efficiency of the magic circle in absorbing human life energy, but at the same time, the number of humans who need to have their life energy absorbed also increased."

"Conservatively speaking, extracting one-third of their life energy would only shorten their lifespan slightly. But in return, their numbers would triple. Therefore, I think this city is quite good."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Fueki Kanade used the power of magic to draw a map in front of Otto.

Otto, who had once traveled alone in China, immediately recognized the scene depicted on the map.

"This is... Sky City? Dr. Wiseman, with all due respect, this location isn't quite right. After all..."

"I have a friend who signed a contract with me to protect Shenzhou. If you were to harm Shenzhou, I'm afraid that if she found out, she would..."

“I will get your friend's approval, Mr. Otto. If it were the old [Divine Immortal], I might have been a little wary, but now…”

“Her strength is no longer sufficient for her to hold this position. If she doesn’t agree, then I will make her agree.”

This guy even found out about the Crimson Iris Immortal?

Everyone in China knows that the Crimson Crow Immortal died, but not many people know that the Crimson Crow Immortal is Fu Hua and that she didn't die.

In other words, did he also learn a lot of information about the inner workings of Destiny?

Ha, he might even know about Kallen. Does he know how much I crave to resurrect others that he dares to be so fearless?

"If Dr. Wiseman can persuade my old friend, then I will naturally not stop him."

I was planning to let you stay a few more days, but now...

After mimicking the Void Treasury as Feather Dust, golden feathers suddenly appeared beside Otto.

"only……"

After activating Feather of Dust in an instant, Otto's expression turned utterly cold.

“Mr. Otto, I won’t go into the other issues. I will contact you through other channels regarding any further needs.”

After Otto attempted to invade Kanade Fueki's mind with Feather Dust, Kanade Fueki's body suddenly began to dissipate.

"The power of this clone ends here. If Mr. Otto is interested..."

"Let's examine this illusion slowly."

PS1: When I was writing about the relationship between Raven and Jackal, I was worried it might be too out of character. While they weren't exactly on good terms, Jackal wouldn't betray Raven out of the ordinary, would he? His sense of the bigger picture is probably too much...

Then I watched the new plot, where Jackal badmouthed Raven in front of everyone at Anti-Entropy, Gray Snake, and Kevin, implying that Raven was planning to switch sides and join Anti-Entropy...

That's fine.

She wasn't killed by the raven because Gray Snake and Kevin protected her because of the scientific research value of her dog-brain.

Chapter 419. Shocking! A man actually did this in the women's dormitory!

"Lord Otto, we need to pursue them..."

"Alright, Rita, that's enough."

Watching the figure of the flute player gradually disappear, Otto calmed down.

"Ha, it seems this Mr. Wiseman never believed me from the start. Before we even started talking, he probably used his magic to create a convincing illusion here."

Recalling the information the man had just revealed, since he already knew of the existence of the Crimson Iris Immortal, it was not impossible for him to investigate the function of the Divine Key, Feather Crossing Dust.

Judging from the current situation, the abilities of the Crimson Phoenix Immortal, Feather Dust, and even the Divine Key [Void Treasury] that Otto possesses are known to the other party.

After learning about Yu Duchen and Xu Kong Wancang's abilities, it's understandable that they wouldn't want to face him in their true forms.

"Then, Lord Otto."

Recalling that mysterious and dangerous man, Rita continued to ask.

"Should we continue the pursuit of him with the Undying Blade?"

"No need. Dr. Wiseman simply doesn't trust me. However, sometimes cooperation doesn't require much 'trust.' As long as you have enough leverage, even if you know the other party doesn't have good intentions, some people will still choose to continue cooperating."

As for when the cooperation will end and things will fall apart, that depends on the tactics and timing of both sides.

"If Dr. Wiseman contacts us at Schicksal again, there's no need to be hostile. Just find out his location and needs, and then report it to me."

Since you think you can escape my control, then I'll play along with you, Wiseman.

"After careful consideration, I will think about how to deal with this man."

Seeing Otto's effortless demeanor, Rita bowed slightly and left the room.

Without a doubt, Otto Apocalypse had reverted to being the archbishop who felt he was in complete control.

But...

Your Excellency, you just had a mishap, are you sure it's okay to be so arrogant?

Recalling the "secret ritual" that Fueki Kanade had mentioned, Rita's face remained expressionless, but a sense of worry arose in her heart.

If it were an order from Otto, she might consider obeying part of it, and then use her own methods to minimize the disaster.

However, Wiseman was not her direct superior at this time, so Rita had no reason to consider his feelings.

Mr. Gu Yu's house is in Sky City, and that place was given to him by Lady Kiana.

According to intelligence, Mr. Gu Yu's parents lived there before going to the Tower of Babel. Presumably, both that house and Sky City held special significance for Mr. Gu Yu.

If the people of this place have their life force extracted to perform that [secret ritual]...

Moreover, Wiseman said he wouldn't kill those ordinary people, but how could a normal person choose to sacrifice the lives of millions in order to resurrect one person?

Even though Wiseman said that his improved ritual would only take away a portion of the people's life force, this man who could hold his own against Bishop Otto was not to be underestimated, both in terms of strength and his limits as a human being.

Within Schicksal, Lady Durandal is still dealing with Honkai affairs, and although Lady Kiana has gained her freedom, the Archbishop is certainly still secretly watching her every move.

And as for me, needless to say, although the archbishop never questioned my work attitude, that didn't mean he completely trusted me...

Ah, in the end, the only person Otto's church truly believed in was himself.

After thinking it over, there are only two people who can stop that madman.

One is Lady Theresa, and the other is Mr. Gu Yu.

The former was favored by Bishop Otto, and even if he did something slightly outrageous, he would not be severely punished.

The latter is powerful in combat. Before Lord Otto completes his plan and cultivates a new Herrscher of the Void, Lord Otto will absolutely not turn against a powerful figure like Mr. Gu Yu, who could cause huge changes.

I need to find a way to inform both of them about this.

………………

Three weeks later, at St. Freya Academy, in the Valkyrie Dormitory.

Back in her dorm room, Raiden Mei felt uneasy as she thought about tomorrow's trip.
