A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

This was an absolutely unacceptable outcome for Otto.

What is that bastard Wiseman thinking?

After kidnapping a little girl from Shaniat, they also kidnapped K423 and Himeko Murata... These people are all Valkyries...

Ah, so that's how it is. He has given up on finding those four Jinchūriki and chosen to use second-rate Jinchūriki as offerings in the resurrection ritual?

"Rita."

"Your subordinate is here."

After integrating his plans, Otto addressed Rita with righteous indignation.

“This time, since Wiseman, that villain, attacked the Far East Branch, he has already challenged the dignity of our Destiny.”

"Furthermore, I have an agreement with an old friend... Well, although she has attacked me now, I am not a person who goes back on his word. This time, since the other party's target is China, I will keep my promise no matter what."

"This time, you will contact Durandal. The two of you will immediately get to Sky City as fast as possible, deal with Wiseman, and stop his plan."

After hearing Otto's command, Rita bowed slightly to him.

"Understood."

"Also, I'd like to mention a few high-priority matters. First and foremost, K423's safety must be guaranteed—even if you can't completely stop Wiseman's plan this time, you must bring K423 back to me. This is a death order!"

"Furthermore, if the opportunity arises, killing Wiseman would be even better. The spatial teleportation technology and other technologies he possesses are extremely valuable. If we, Schicksal, could obtain them, we should be able to fight the Honkai more effectively."

"And one last thing, if you see Fu Hua, please pass on a message to her for me."

"I will forgive and forget what happened in the past, but I hope my old friend understands one thing—one person's strength is ultimately limited. The sacrifices of Cangxuan and Danzhu have already proven this point."

After giving these follow-up instructions, Otto suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Also, your relationship with Gu Yu seems to be going well now?"

After hearing Otto's words, Rita responded calmly.

"Yes. Since the last battle with that strange man in the Fog City, Mr. Gu Yu's opinion of me seems to have changed a lot."

Sure enough, Lord Otto couldn't have missed this.

Has he begun to doubt my true feelings?

I was too anxious when I notified Mr. Gu Yu last time.

If it were me in the past, I would never have revealed such a big flaw.

"However, it seems that we are still quite a distance away from Otto's plan to 'recruit Mr. Gu Yu to join Destiny'."

After letting out a feigned sigh of helplessness, Rita looked at Otto with a wry smile.

"After all, you know his attitude towards women very well. Even Lord Shaniat, who was so close to him, couldn't win her over, so what chance do I have?"

Now, this is the only way we can try to see if Lord Otto will continue to pursue the matter.

"That's true. That kid... humph, he's completely stubborn."

"But since you've remembered this task, let's continue."

Is it something they're trying to cover up?

Or is this her true thought?

Never mind, it doesn't matter. As long as she doesn't do anything underhanded, she will always be my most useful pawn.

“Durandal is extremely powerful in combat, and I suspect that brat Gu Yu is also planning to attack Sky City. So this time, you shouldn’t bring the Undying Blade with you.”

"But at the same time, precisely because Durandal is so powerful, you, as her second-in-command, must keep a close eye on her. I don't want to receive a hefty fine from China after this mission."

"Understood."

Although Otto's last words were quite witty, Rita knew that they actually reflected Otto's truest thoughts.

After confronting ME, Destiny faced an economic crisis.

Six months later, Tianming, which should have recovered by now, seems to have lost a lot of business resources again due to the sudden appearance of several conglomerates.

Even Lord Otto is worried about Schicksal's economy?

This year, our destiny...

It really is a bit of a bad year.

Chapter 469. Who dares to run wild on my turf?!

Several hours later. Shenzhou. Tianqiong City.

On the streets of Sky City, a gray-haired, red-eyed girl was walking alone, looking utterly bored.

Although passersby were initially drawn to the girl's stunning beauty, they all instinctively looked away the moment her crimson pupils met their gaze.

Even someone who can't read the atmosphere could easily tell from the girl's expression that she was unhappy.

Aside from those ungrateful, stereotypical villains, who would be so foolish as to rush in and invite criticism at this time?

"Hmph, one or two of them, they're all like that."

Feeling the gazes of passersby, Fu Hua pulled a lollipop from her hot pants pocket, crumpled the torn wrapper into a ball, and casually tossed it into a trash can twenty meters away.

Yes, unsurprisingly, full marks.

After doing this, the girl took a bite of the lollipop and, recalling what had happened recently, felt extremely angry.

Fu Hua, that's the name she remembers using in this era.

In the past, as the fusion warrior [Hua] of the Fire Moth, she fought for many years but failed to prevent the arrival of the Herrscher of the End, leading to the destruction of the previous era.

In the time that followed, although she acted according to Dr. Mei's instructions, it instead led to the birth of the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chi You.

She experienced failure and was betrayed by her seven disciples. Because of her past experiences, she, who was almost invincible except for the Herrscher of the End, had to join forces with Otto to protect the Divine Land.

"Tch, Dr. Mei, Dr. Mei... I was so naive back then. She was a loser to begin with, how could a plan devised by a loser possibly succeed?"

"Project Fireseed failed, Project Ark failed, Su has disappeared, and Project Hengsha is probably doomed too..."

"Now, out of all those plans, only Kevin's Stigmata Project remains... This thing will kill a lot of people, and Kevin actually intends to carry it out?"

"He's absolutely insane."

Recalling her experiences after leaving Destiny a few days ago, the girl was filled with anger.

Based on the remaining memories in her mind, she found the World Serpent's base and met with her old comrade-in-arms, Kevin Kaslana.

However, during this reunion after 1,500 years, Fu Hua did not sense any joy in Kevin's eyes at the reunion with an old friend.

after all……

After they met, Kevin pointed the Destroyer at her head and said coldly, "You're not Hua, so who are you?" Who could be happy in a situation like that?

If it were according to Fu Hua's past temperament, she might have calmly reasoned with her old friends. However, at that time, the girl was in a situation where she was being blamed by Gu Yu and Rita and was feeling unhappy.

In this situation, how could she possibly tolerate having a weapon pointed at her?

Even if this person is an old friend of hers, it won't make a difference.

She's angry!

I'm really angry!

Enraged, the girl fought Kevin without holding back.

After paying the price of turning half of the base into ruins, Kevin finally stopped fighting on his own initiative.

“These techniques… these powers… and this Divine Key…”

Looking at the girl's face, Kevin sighed and said nothing more.

"What, even you don't believe I'm the real deal?"

Seeing the sadness on Kevin's face, the girl felt a deep sense of injustice.

"I've suffered so much, am I not allowed to have a change in personality? Kevin, look at yourself."

"Would you have chosen to carry out this plan in the past?"

"Of course not. But..."

Gazing at the girl before him, Kevin finally sheathed his weapon and left the battlefield.

“I can tell that you are not her.”

"If you want to fight, I'll continue to oblige. But this fight won't give you what you want."

Seeing Kevin sheath his greatsword, the girl had no idea what Kevin meant by 'what she wanted'.

Strange, I am Fu Hua, why don't these people recognize me?

Tch, those seven little brats from five hundred years ago... The place where I fought a few of them was at Sky Peak...

If I went to Sky City now, I might be able to find something that could prove I am Fu Hua...

Tch, in the end, why should I start to doubt myself just because of other people's doubts?

I am Hua!

It's the Crimson Iris Immortal!

It's Fu Hua too!

I am who I am, a brand new me!

However, although such thoughts arose in her mind, by the time the girl realized it, she had already arrived in Sky City, a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

She had already been to Sky Peak, but hadn't found anything there.

And now, she finally understands.

Although her body has been completely healed by Otto, she has not been able to fully retrieve the memories that burned during the Second Honkai Impact.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be staying in this seemingly safe city when the collapse could break out at any moment.

However, as she was about to leave the city, the girl felt a sense of unease for some reason.

It has nothing to do with Honkai. If it were a place where Honkai was about to break out, it shouldn't be like this even if there were signs.

But she couldn't explain why; she just felt something was wrong.
