A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

Hmm, Otto's mission this time...

—It is indeed very difficult to handle.

But despite her thoughts, Rita felt she still had to find a way to try and see if this mission could be completed...

It still doesn't work!

It wasn't out of shame, nor for any other reason, but simply because Miss Rita Rossweisse felt that there was absolutely no possibility of completing this mission.

Fundamentally, Otto's mission can be divided into two phases.

She tricked Gu Yu into bed and then ran away with him.

Okay, even if there's just a tiny bit of a possibility with the former, what about the latter stage?

This young man kept fighting, fighting, fighting. Whenever he encountered Herrschers or those strange enemies, he was always the first to charge ahead...

—And then, before anyone could react, he solved the problem.

Rita didn't know if this was the second time the Honkai had left a wound in the boy's heart, causing him to fight the Honkai so desperately, but whatever the reason, it wouldn't change the conclusion.

Gu Yu could not possibly abandon the responsibilities that currently reside in his heart and run away with someone just for the sake of another person.

Therefore, even if someone could make this young man fall in love with her, that person would absolutely not be able to change Gu Yu's mind.

After all, in some respects, both Mr. Gu Yu and Lord Otto have incredibly deep obsessions.

This unwavering conviction has generated immense power, and they will never allow anyone to stand in their way.

After returning to the Undying Blade squad's base, Rita sighed softly when no one was around.

To outsiders, she was Otto Apocalypse's most loyal subordinate, but only she knew that to Otto, she was merely a useful pawn.

Rita was only able to glean some of Otto's true thoughts by using her intelligence privileges and observing his actions.

Others may not believe it, but Otto Apocalypse, the leader of the anti-Honkai organization Schicksal, is actually breeding Honkai.

He has his own goals to achieve, therefore, Otto does not want anyone else to destroy the Honkai before that.

Otto hadn't paid attention before because of some strange things that had come up.

But now, Otto must have realized it—starting from Changkong City, the speed of Honkai Awakening Herrschers is getting faster and faster.

If he wants to slow down the awakening of the Herrschers, or if Otto wants to find a way to prolong the life of the Honkai, the conflict between him and Gu Yu will only grow stronger.

The two had been restraining each other for the past six months and had not resorted to violence at this time.

But when Otto realizes that Gu Yu has become the biggest obstacle in his plans, will he still tolerate this boy as before and let him continue to act recklessly?

Rita being assigned this mission was an experiment, and although it's sad to say, Rita Rossweisse wasn't playing the role of the mission's executor in this mission.

She was a tool for Otto to appease Gu Yu and test Gu Yu's attitude.

If Gu Yu really accepts Rita's invitation and leaves the front lines with her, then Otto might temporarily refrain from making things difficult for the boy.

But if it were Gu Yu... no, Gu Yu would definitely refuse Rita's invitation.

Once there, Otto, realizing he couldn't get Gu Yu out of the front lines by any other means, only wanted to kill her with all his might.

As for the claim that this would severely damage Destiny's vitality... well, Rita Rossweisse managed to obtain combat records from the Second Honkai Impact period.

The records of Destiny state that Cecilia pleaded for it, but other records may not say so.

At that time, Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac, the two strongest members of Schicksal, had already defeated the Second Herrscher, Sirin, in the end. However, at the end of that battle, Otto still launched the Honkai Fission Bomb.

This isn't a battle record from Destiny, but it's very much in line with Otto's style.

If this battle record is true, would Otto, who could even kill his own loyal subordinates, really care about Schicksal's declining strength?

No, anything beyond his control will be killed at all costs if it might hinder him.

"Has it come to this? Then I should make a decision too."

After deducing that a conflict between the two was inevitable and might even erupt soon, Rita let out a soft sigh.

"Sigh, if Lord Otto and Mr. Gu Yu could join forces, I wouldn't have to worry anymore."

"If those two join forces, with Lord Otto's intellect and Mr. Gu Yu's strength, dealing with the Honkai might not be as difficult as we imagine."

........................

That night, at the Far East Branch, in the Valkyrie Dormitory.

Inside the dormitory, after confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, Gu Yu deployed countless layers of aurora curtains around the area as protection.

As originally agreed, Su's core transplant surgery was scheduled to take place tomorrow.

But now that a new Herrscher has appeared, Gu Yu feels that she's probably going to be quite busy in the days to come.

Therefore, he had to ensure Sue's safety before that could happen.

Chapter 523. The So-Called Domination

In the spin-off "The Legacy," Sue, on her deathbed, entrusted the results of her years of observation to Durandal and asked her to pass them on to Otto.

In other words, through years of observation, Su may have already come up with a solution to break the deadlock.

The reason for handing it over to Otto was partly because Schicksal was indeed powerful enough at the time, and Otto had the potential to carry out the plan.

On the other hand—of course, it's because he had no other choice.

The person is about to die, so just find a good person to send the leaf containing the plan and intelligence out.

At least in Su's eyes at the time, Otto could be considered a "good person" in some respects.

However, Gu Yu would not consider Otto, that bastard, a good person just because of Su's thoughts at the time.

Sue learned about Otto through Durandal, and Durandal's attitude towards Otto was biased.

If Su knew how many shady things Otto had done behind the scenes, he would probably cling to Ye Zi and wait for a reliable successor before passing away.

After entering the Sacred Mark Space, Gu Yu went straight to Su's ward and opened the door.

"Ah, Gu Yu, I remember the surgery is supposed to be tomorrow."

"Doctor, the situation is critical. We need to... no, we need to wake Su up quickly."

After taking a deep look, Gu Yu exhaled a breath of stale air.

“A new Herrscher has appeared. This Herrscher is too troublesome. If Su can wake up, the disaster caused by this Herrscher might be much smaller.”

"That's really exaggerated?"

Seeing the worry on Gu Yu's face, Dr. Maki asked with a hint of curiosity.

"You can take on several Herrschers at once, and now you actually find Herrschers troublesome? Tell me, which Herrscher is it this time?"

"Don't even mention that it's already the end of the road. Even though I'm a suicide soldier, my heart is still a bit too weak..."

After thinking of a certain Herrscher, Dr. Maki suddenly stopped speaking.

Then, he glanced at Gu Yu with a slight movement in his eyes and asked tentatively.

"A thousand people?"

"That's right, Doctor, you really are an expert."

No wonder.

After confirming the presence of the Herrscher, Maki's expression turned bitter.

As one of Schicksal's top scientists and the chief person in charge of the artificial Herrscher project, Maki naturally has access to Herrscher data.

According to data from the Destiny Database, the [Thousand Herrschers] of the previous era were not actually that powerful in terms of combat.

Simply put, these thousand Herrschers only possess the combat power of lower-level pseudo-Herrschers.

Saying that Gu Yu can kill them all with one punch might be a bit of an exaggeration, but easily killing this group of thousands of Herrschers is definitely not a difficult task for Gu Yu.

But here comes the crux of the problem.

According to data from the pre-apocalyptic era...

—The awakening of a thousand Herrschers will not trigger a large-scale collapse.

The awakening of the Herrschers is usually accompanied by large-scale collapse, and it is precisely because of this that Schicksal is able to arrive at the scene immediately to solve the problem.

The fact that the awakening of a thousand Herrschers does not trigger a large-scale collapse has led to an extremely awkward situation.

Humanity cannot be found in its entirety.

According to intelligence from the previous era, the thousand Herrschers caused trouble for six months. If, during those six months, a thousand pseudo-Herrschers were secretly causing trouble...

This is much more troublesome than a single Herrscher causing destruction!

"That's why I plan to wake him up. Although I don't expect him to come up with a way to instantly eliminate this group of Herrschers, the senior's experience is definitely richer."

"Also, seniors Danzhu and Cangxuan, please don't glare at me like that. Your authority in the Fire Chasing Moth is not as high as Su's, and you may not know as much as I do."

Looking helplessly at Danzhu and Cangxuan, whose expressions were not friendly, Gu Yu continued.

“You know better than I how troublesome a thousand-person herald is.”

"That's true. We also know that the Fire Moth was in a terrible state because of the Thousand Herrschers."

Recalling those years, Cang Xuan, now even more composed, continued.

"And most importantly, the thousand Herrschers are extremely difficult to detect. After the thousand Herrschers appeared, the higher-ups of Moth Chaser ordered that all members of Moth Chaser must routinely monitor the Honkai energy intensity."

"Danzhu and I were not given more information because of insufficient authority, but according to subsequent information, the thousand-strong Herrscher has infiltrated the headquarters of the Fire Moth and reached the upper echelons, which means that the method is not feasible."

Moreover, the emergence of a thousand Herrschers at that time led to internal suspicions within the already demoralized Moth Chaser.

After all, the first Herrscher of a Thousand was a chef in the staff canteen of the Fire Moth. Who can guarantee that the people around us won't be the next Herrscher of a Thousand to emerge?

The destruction caused by the Thousand Law Enforcers goes far beyond the physical realm. The most terrifying aspect of the Thousand Law Enforcers is their ability to destroy people's hearts and minds.

After the birth of this Herrscher, whenever the warriors of the Flame Chaser went on a mission, they dared not completely entrust their backs to the other warriors as they had in the past.

The most terrifying thing about the so-called ruler of domination is that he can control people's hearts through this open scheme.

Looking back now, Dr. Mei must have seen through this before choosing that plan.

She didn't hesitate to use herself as bait to lure a thousand Herrschers to kill her, and then risked being corrupted by Honkai energy to use the Blank Key to connect the three Herrscher Cores, forcibly killing all the thousand Herrschers.

If Dr. Mei had acted any later, the harm caused by the Thousand Heralds would have continued to spread, and the Moths of Fire would have gone from a bad situation to a complete mess.
