A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

Just as Theresa rushed towards Gu Yu, Rita, wielding a scythe, blocked Theresa's path.

Then, she bowed to Theresa and said with a slight apology.

"I'm sorry to have hindered your actions, but I think it would be better if you listened to this communication before taking any action."

"Communication? There's no time for that now!"

After glaring fiercely at Rita, Theresa almost couldn't resist picking up Judas and hitting him.

"Theresa, my dear granddaughter, don't you even want to listen to my communications anymore?"

This time, however, Theresa was stunned when she heard the voice coming from the communicator in Rita's hand.

"grandfather?"

The voice coming through the communicator was undoubtedly that of her grandfather, [Archbishop of Destiny] Otto Apocalypse.

PS1: I'm sorry for updating at this inauspicious time, but Calvin is a real old rival, and I really can't beat him.

As for the reason for writer's block... many times I've figured out the plot and am ready to start writing, then I impulsively go and read some posts, and oh dear, that's when the problem arises.

Reading comments has always been one of the joys of writing a book. After all, authors write for fun, and if they really want to see creative ideas, they have to read the comments from their fellow readers.

But...

Someone once said that we shouldn't always focus on those who criticize me, since most of my readers support me, and I wholeheartedly agree.

But...

You were enjoying your meal when, halfway through, you stumbled upon a cockroach in your mouth and even bit into it…

You can understand how disgusted I felt when I read that post, right?

It's too hard to not care, because it's already happened. [Looking up at the sky]

PS2: Then, I made a very serious announcement.

This author, starting today, officially acknowledges his identity as a "cloud gamer" (someone who only watches others play games).

These days, I don't really understand what it means to not be a "cloud gamer." After all, judging from the feedback in the comments, if you get even one detail wrong or misspell the order of an English name, you, the author, are considered a "cloud gamer."

I don't understand what these readers who criticize me as a "cloud gamer" are thinking. Maybe they're just hardcore and can recite the entire Honkai Impact 3rd story text, item descriptions, and character introductions by heart.

If this is the only way to avoid being considered a "cloud player" (someone who only watches others play games), then I admit it today: I can't memorize all the text in Honkai Impact 3.

Starting today, I'm a casual gamer.

If there are any errors in the details in the future, and someone calls me a "cloud player" (someone who only watches online games), I can directly tell them, "Yes, I am..."

Well, thinking about it carefully, it seems like a lot of things have been resolved.

Great!

PS3: There are some things the programmers really need to update. Wouldn't it be better to remove the word limit mentioned by the author in this chapter?

Chapter 42. Otto [Target Discovery]

From the beginning of the Undying Blade to the Hyperion, Otto watched the live broadcast of the event through the surveillance camera on Rita's body.

From the moment he realized that K423 had a close relationship with the Herrscher of Thunder of this generation, Otto had been plotting his new plan.

However, when he saw the boy's performance on the Hyperion, Otto's expression changed completely.

Theoretically speaking, Sirin's Herrscher core should be inside K423's body.

However, after the boy caused a commotion, Otto suddenly realized that something was very wrong with the whole thing.

Even through technological means and observation from a distance, Otto still realized that the barrier surrounding the boy was not causing destruction, but rather teleportation.

The barrier teleports the surrounding decks to an unknown location, rather than destroying them outright.

Although this barrier looks different from the spatial portal opened by the Second Herrscher, Otto still thought of a very strange possibility because of this special feature.

"Wait, did this kid actually remove Sirin's core???"

He glanced at K423. Hmm, although he looked very nervous, he was clearly in good physical and mental health.

If the Second Herrscher's core had been removed, K423 wouldn't have had it so easy.

However, what the boy used unconsciously was undoubtedly a spatial ability.

Filled with doubt, Otto immediately contacted Durandal, who was still on a mission.

"Durandal, have the Undying Blade squad continue their exploration in Changkong City."

"You yourself go to the bottom of the Hyperion and be prepared. If the boy you just met falls off the ship, make sure to catch him."

"Remember, stay hidden. When you catch this boy, make sure no one else notices."

“Yes, if something happens to Hyperion, we must ensure the safety of Theresa and Rita.”

"Understood. I understand, Lord Otto."

After confirming that Durandal's coordinates were moving toward the Hyperion, Otto immediately communicated with Theresa through Rita.

"Theresa, my dear granddaughter, don't you even want to listen to my communications anymore?"

Upon hearing Otto's words, Theresa immediately stopped in her tracks.

"grandfather?"

"Are you going to do something foolish again, you silly child?"

After letting out a sigh full of affection, Otto looked at the incredibly flustered Theresa in the image and suddenly thought of his deceased fiancée, Karen.

It must be said that although there are some differences in physique and appearance, the two are remarkably similar in their inner qualities.

Whether it's their usual kind heart that protects others, or...

—A mind that can't think straight at crucial moments.

Otto knew very well that Theresa had brought the Oath of Judah over, probably intending to use the ultimate technique hidden in the Oath of Judah, the [Divine Grace Barrier], to separate the boy from the warship.

But it was precisely because Otto had guessed Theresa's thoughts that he had to interrupt Theresa's actions.

He certainly didn't want to see his beloved granddaughter in pain all over her body because of this.

Of course, there is another reason.

Within the divine grace barrier, the physical bodies of ordinary people simply cannot withstand it.

This boy, relying on his strange armor and the stigmata in his hand, has unleashed combat power no less than that of the S-class Valkyrie Rita. Theoretically speaking, this person should not be considered an ordinary person.

But Otto felt this was a new possibility. He couldn't let this boy, who held such potential, be killed by Theresa's mistake.

It would be so awkward if the stigmata became ineffective because the host died.

Therefore, Otto decided that the boy had to 'die'.

"Okay, solving this problem is very simple."

Otto chuckled as he gently swirled the wine glass still holding a few drops of red wine.

"Since he is the culprit behind this turmoil, then we just need to isolate him from the deck."

"Just cut this section of the deck off and let the boy fall from the sky."

"this???"

Upon hearing Otto's instructions, Theresa was completely dumbfounded.

She had initially listened quietly to Otto's explanation because she knew that her grandfather was indeed very intelligent.

If it were Grandpa Otto, he would definitely come up with a perfect solution in a short time!

Then, Otto did offer a solution—if you can't solve the problem, getting rid of the person who caused it is just as good.

But Theresa felt something was off.

Isn't this murder?

Oh, this isn't the first time her grandfather has said something like that.

When Theresa first went on a mission, a problem with the intelligence led to Theresa potentially being in danger. Otto immediately ordered Theresa to return to base and then used artillery shells to blast the A-rank Valkyrie squad, who were fighting a bloody battle, along with the Honkai Beasts.

During the second Honkai, her best friend Cecilia was also killed by her grandfather with a single shot while trying to hold off the Second Herrscher, Sirin.

From this perspective, it seems like this is her grandfather's usual practice?

"Grandpa, this is murder...!"

"So you're willing to let the entire Hyperion perish for this boy you've just met?"

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Otto frowned slightly, his tone gradually turning cold.

"Theresa, you are my beloved granddaughter. But I hope you understand that war kills people."

"In the war against the Honkai, anyone can die. On one side are strangers you've just met, and on the other are your subordinates and comrades who have followed you for years. Are you still hesitating?"

"You are the head of the Far East branch, and you are responsible for the branch and everyone in it! The reason I let you take the lead in the Far East branch, which you did so willfully, is that I hope you can develop the sense of responsibility that comes with being a high-ranking member of Destiny!"

"And you? Still so naive!"

Theresa, who was berated by Otto, wanted to argue but didn't know where to begin.

She knew very well that cutting off a section of the deck and letting the boy and the deck freefall was the solution that would minimize casualties.

She couldn't refute Otto's remarks about responsibility—as the head of the Far East branch, she had to be responsible for her subordinates and comrades.

But if this kind of thing takes the lives of innocent passersby... then what's the difference between this and the mastermind behind the collapse?

"Don't hesitate, Theresa. Hyperion doesn't have much time left."

After confirming that Durandal was in place and hidden, Otto continued to pressure Theresa with words.

“If you think this will dirty your hands, then… Rita!”

“I understand, Lord Otto.”
