A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

After glancing at the boy in front of her, Rita sighed softly.

Even though she knew Otto's plan wasn't to kill the boy, she still felt it was too cruel to do it in front of everyone.

Putting everything else aside—after listening to Otto's speech, Raiden Mei almost burst out with lightning.

What is Lord Otto thinking...?

She had a feeling that if she swung her scythe, the Third Herrscher would awaken immediately.

PS1: Today's joke.

PS2: In theory, it should be able to update normally on Sunday, but...

Yes, my supervisor called yesterday to tell me that I need to be on duty at a work location on Sunday.

After cursing in my mind, all I can say is "yes, yes, yes".

It's located in the countryside, about 15 kilometers away by bicycle.

I got up early and rode my bike there. When I got close to the office, my boss told me that there was nothing to do and I didn't need to be on duty. He told me to remember to go to the city for a meeting on the 25th.

What could I do? There was nowhere to rest along the way, so I had no choice but to ride back.

After being exposed to the scorching sun at 38°C for five hours, I finally confirmed it.

Starting today, I am also a fully-fledged [Physics] Rider.

Then, unsurprisingly, I suffered from heatstroke, and the excessive leg exercise caused muscle spasms, making me feel like I was dying for a long time. I didn't even get to play the Abyss.

I think I'm already pretty good for being able to get up and update, sob sob.

PS3: To the friend who downloaded the game yesterday, it's not too late to stop now.

Ahead lies hell.

PS4: Book Recommendation

Become a god by swinging your sword a billion times.

Chapter 43. Himeko [So why did I waste three chapters on something that could be solved in one sentence?]

"Rita, what's wrong?"

However, Otto, on the other end of the communicator, seemed oblivious to the lightning on Raiden Mei's body and continued to urge her on.

"Execute the command."

After Otto finished speaking, the lightning on Raiden Mei intensified.

"Let's see who dares!"

Moreover, the others on the Hyperion also began their own actions.

Bronya commanded the Heavy Bunny to hand the unconscious Yuno over to Kiana, who currently had the lowest combat power.

Yae Sakura, with a dangerous look in her eyes, drew her katana from her waist.

After being stared at by the two men, even though Rita was now considered a powerful figure destined for greatness, she felt like a sheep being targeted by wolves.

If she makes the slightest move, these two girls, who exude terrifying Honkai energy, might risk their lives to perish together with her here.

For a moment, on the entire deck, the two leaders of the Hyperion, Himeko Murata and Theresa Apocalypse, became the most like unrelated passersby.

"Sigh, never mind..."

After letting out a soft sigh, Rita found herself in a dilemma.

Well, it seems they haven't come up with a better solution yet.

If we don't dismantle the deck, we'll all die together.

If the deck is dismantled and Raiden goes berserk, they probably won't fare any better.

Why did things turn out this way...?

"Everyone, calm down."

Theresa, biting her nails, immediately stepped between the two sides who had drawn their swords and were about to draw their crossbows.

"Rita, put your weapon away!"

"Theresa!"

Otto said with slight annoyance after hearing that his granddaughter had tricked him again.

"Listen to me, now is not the time to act impulsively!"

"No, Grandpa, I'm not acting on impulse."

Between the two groups, Theresa manipulated the iron chains hidden in the Oath of Judah, stabbing at Gu Yu like a venomous snake.

Then, just before the iron chain was about to pierce Gu Yu, Theresa immediately manipulated the iron chain back to her side.

In just a moment, the incredibly terrifying barrier reappeared on Gu Yu's body.

As the barrier flashed by, the deck around Gu Yu became even thinner.

Even those who are not particularly good at physics could tell from the thickness of the deck that if such a sudden situation occurred again, Gu Yu would fall from the sky on the spot because the deck disappeared.

Upon realizing this, Raiden Mei's lightning almost instantly erupted.

This short guy is in cahoots with that woman with the scythe!

"Wait a minute! I have something to say!"

Seemingly sensing the murderous aura emanating from Raiden Mei, Theresa immediately spoke up to explain.

"I don't mean to harm this boy. I just want to say that getting too close might cause unnecessary problems."

"The barrier appeared just now because Kiana got close to this boy."

"Rita, if it were you, would you be confident you could cut through the deck before this barrier takes you away?"

After Theresa said those words, everyone present calmed down.

Otto, far away at the headquarters of Schicksal, widened his eyes in astonishment.

His granddaughter is not a highly intelligent person; this is a fact known to everyone.

But now, why is she able to make such a precise analysis in an instant?

Theresa, has your account been hacked?

"Alright, I have an idea."

Seemingly feeling that everyone had calmed down, Murata coughed twice and looked at Raiden Mei, whose expression had become increasingly cold.

"Young lady, it seems you're planning to use the power of a Herrscher to attack my rather clueless colleague, right? But even if you deal with her, you won't be able to solve this problem."

After gesturing with her lips, Himeko Murata looked at Kouyu, who was still unconscious, and continued speaking.

"Judging from your power, you should be a Herrscher who manipulates electromagnetic forces. So, I have a suggestion for you."

“Electromagnetic force, if properly manipulated, can alter the structure and shape of metal. If you gather the Hyperion’s deck together and detach it from the Hyperion, then let the deck float in mid-air, all problems will be solved.”

"This brat doesn't need to be knocked down, and we don't need to crash—provided that you can control the power of the Herrscher without being corrupted by the consciousness of the Honkai, and then do that."

After listening to Himeko's words, Raiden Mei, who was gradually transforming into a Herrscher, frowned and nodded vigorously.

"I understand, I'll give it a try!"

Then, she opened her right hand and manipulated electromagnetic force to create a magnetic field around Gu Yu.

Meanwhile, under the manipulation of electromagnetic force, the thin deck around Gu Yu gradually gathered towards Gu Yu and was then suspended in mid-air by Raiden Mei's electromagnetic manipulation.

"That's... over?"

After watching Raiden Mei easily resolve the problem, Theresa subtly nudged Himeko Murata's waist.

"Himeko, I didn't realize you were so learned."

"Nonsense, I graduated with a PhD at nineteen. How could I not understand physics knowledge that even a high school student can understand?"

After receiving the message from her subordinate that "energy has stopped flowing," Himeko Murata breathed a sigh of relief.

"Next, we'll see how long it takes for that brat to wake up. And Theresa, don't let your guard down."

After giving Raiden Mei a cold glance, Himeko Murata said in a low voice.

"This isn't over yet."

"I see."

Seeing the increasingly strange expression on Raiden Mei's face, Theresa understood what her comrade meant.

Although the Hyperion no longer has to worry about crashing after being drained, a new problem has arisen.

If Raiden Mei fails to resist the corruption of the Honkai consciousness and completely transforms into a Herrscher who is hostile to humanity, things will become even more complicated.

Theresa has never forgotten the terrible harm caused by the Second Herrscher in the battle of 2000.

What if this girl also became that kind of terrifying being...?

—Then everyone on that ship is in danger.

------

In the dimly lit space, Gu Yu slowly opened her eyes.

"Ugh, I've passed out again. It feels like I've slept for days... Is it just my imagination?"

After muttering a complaint to himself, Gu Yu suddenly jumped backward.

The next instant, a burst of black light bullets swept directly onto the floor where Gu Yu had just been lying.
