A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

Seemingly having read Walter's mind, Sue spoke with a slightly calm demeanor.

"This might be a bit offensive, but I think... although Mr. Maguchi Shoichi saw that future, the probability of that future actually happening is not that high."

"At least until the Herrscher of Corruption accomplishes something, the probability of it launching a large-scale attack is not that high."

Walter, who had no idea what Su was talking about, sighed and said helplessly.

"I hope you can enlighten me, sir."

"It's actually quite simple. After the Herrscher of Corruption awakened her abilities, she could have directly corrupted missile launch sites in various countries and begun massacring ordinary people on a large scale."

"But after it awakened, it didn't do that. Instead, it hid in Mount Fuji. I can probably tell from that."

“Unlike those Honkai Apostles who, as Honkai Apostles, are solely focused on destruction, this Herrscher…”

"—He's afraid of dying, so he doesn't dare to do anything reckless."

???

Walter instinctively wanted to refute the man in front of him, after all, the conclusion sounded unreliable.

What are Herrschers? They're the Honkai's trump card henchmen... Well, in this era, there are far more gold-medal traitors than trump card henchmen.

However, before suppressing or being forced to suppress their inner Herrscher personality, every Herrscher acted with destruction as their core objective.

Now Sue jumps out and says that although this Herrscher is not a good person, it is afraid of death, which Welt finds very strange.

What's even stranger is that he also thought Su's words made a lot of sense.

Why don't the Herrschers show themselves and cause destruction? Why is it the Corruption Herrscher, which has the largest attack range and is the most difficult to defend against, that just hides and doesn't move?

Think about it carefully...

—Is it a very reliable answer that this Herrscher is afraid of death and therefore hides away to accumulate power?

Chapter 584. The Plan? Of course, it's A-level!

After a moment's thought, Welt decided to accept the premise that 'the Herrschers of Corruption in this era are very afraid of death'.

But once Walter accepted this premise, he felt even more troubled.

It's definitely a good thing that the Herrscher of Corruption isn't going on a rampage and causing trouble. After all, the Herrscher of Corruption's attacks are hard to defend against, and if he chooses to stay put, the harm he poses to humanity will definitely be greatly reduced.

However, the fact that the Herrscher of Corruption chose to hide in Mount Fuji indicates that he must have some ulterior motive.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain the choices this Herrscher has made during this period. After all, any Herrscher with normal intelligence wouldn't just sit idly by and wait for humans to kill them.

As for expecting this Herrscher to stand up and protect humanity like Welt, that's just wishful thinking.

When Masakazu Maguchi first awoke, he predicted an ambush on Mount Fuji. In the days that followed, he predicted again that the Herrscher of Corruption would wreak havoc in the future.

Putting aside the low-probability events of Masashi Mikoto misreading the text or lying, it is clearly a possible future event for the Herrscher of Corruption to jump out and wreak havoc.

Since such a thing could happen, Walter felt he couldn't be optimistic.

"Although the Herrscher of Corruption is hiding in Mount Fuji and hasn't come out to do anything bad yet, but..."

"If I had to say, Mr. Gu Yu and I have already discussed the tactics for attacking the Herrscher of Corruption."

Seeing Walter's slightly furrowed brow, Sue said to Walter with a subtle expression.

"This time, we ask Mr. Walter to be our backup, ready to support the battlefield at any time."

"Have you already come up with a plan?"

Upon hearing Sue's words, Walter, who was initially overjoyed, noticed the unusual atmosphere upon seeing the expression on Sue's face.

"Mr. Su, could Mr. Gu Yu's method be..."

"Yes, call them."

"I knew it!"

Upon hearing this news, Walter covered his face in despair.

"Isn't this ridiculous?! If the Herrscher of Corruption corrupts him, this situation will become very difficult to resolve!"

"That's not entirely true. The feasibility of this plan isn't actually low, after all..."

Recalling what Gu Yu had said during their conversation, Su continued to maintain this subtle expression.

"No matter how terrifying the Herrscher of Corruption is, it's still just a Herrscher."

"Even setting aside the two of us here, in that terrifying St. Freya Academy..."

"There are also five Herrschers: [Void], [Thunder], [Wind], [Ice], and [Knowledge]."

"Including Mr. Gu Yu, there are a total of six high-end combatants. Mr. Gu Yu will make his move last, while the others will first weaken the power of the Corruption Herrscher. In that case..."

"As expected, Mr. Gu Yu should be the one to defeat the Herrscher of Corruption..."

………………

St. Freya Academy - Dean's Office

After listening to Gu Yu's plan, Theresa fell into deep thought.

According to Gu Yu, after discussing with the man named Su, they came up with a plan to attack the Corruption Herrscher hiding in Mount Fuji.

The most troublesome thing about the Herrscher of Erosion is that its erosion ability can affect everything, so Gu Yu's plan this time has been arranged in several steps.

First, he would provide his roommates with powerful weapons comparable to the Divine Keys. Then, Mei, Kiana, Wendy, and Anna would enter Mount Fuji to probe the enemy.

Meanwhile, Lin, Bronya, and Yae Sakura are on standby outside, ready to support their comrades inside.

After consuming a portion of the Herrscher of Corruption's power, Gu Yu, together with Fu Hua, who possessed the Herrscher of Consciousness's core and the Eighth Divine Key [Feather of Dust], entered Mount Fuji and eliminated the enemy.

The reason Fu Hua was chosen to assist Gu Yu is that her Feather Dust can, to a certain extent, interfere with the Herrscher of Corruption's control over the physical body of the corrupted object through the powerful suppression of consciousness by the Feather Dust.

If Gu Yu is truly completely corrupted, Fu Hua can control Gu Yu immediately, then find the enemy who has consumed a lot of power and kill them directly.

"The plan itself is fine. But I have to say..."

At that moment, Gu Yu instinctively took a step back for some reason.

"Dean, please speak frankly. I'm a little flustered by you getting so close."

"Oh, okay then."

After standing directly on the desk, Theresa finally adopted a rare condescending attitude and spoke coldly to Gu Yu.

"Kiana was in a coma in the hospital after she helped you gather intelligence last time. You got away before, aren't you going to say anything?"

"That's true."

After hearing Gu Yu say those words so naturally, Theresa felt that something was wrong.

Hmm, what's going on? This isn't quite what we planned.

"The reason Kiana is weak this time is essentially because her equipment is too bad."

Remembering that Kiana was using the weapon of the Throne of Gods when they last met, Gu Yu took out a card from the card box and placed it in front of Theresa.

"Dean, I've gone to inform everyone of the battle plan. Please give this to Kiana."

After saying this, Gu Yu immediately activated the Aurora Curtain and disappeared from Theresa's sight.

"Hey!"

Watching Gu Yu disappear, Theresa angrily picked up the phone on the table, ready to call and yell at Gu Yu.

But when Theresa saw what was laid out on the table, she was suddenly dumbfounded.

"This, this is...?!"

As a burst of light emanated from the card, Theresa watched as it gradually disappeared, leaving behind a pair of pistols on the table.

Theresa was all too familiar with these two pistols, after all...

—Isn't this the Judgment of Heavenly Fire that Siegfried took with him after his betrayal?!

This weapon was taken by that man named Kevin Kaslana last time, so why is it in Gu Yu's hands now?!

Could it be that... that man and Gu Yu made some kind of deal?

No, no, no, this slow-witted brat is unlikely to do such a thing.

If he considered Kevin Kaslana a potential partner, he wouldn't have fought her to the death during their last meeting.

So, from this perspective...

—Did Gu Yu unknowingly defeat—or even kill—Kevin in order to obtain the Heavenly Fire Judgment?

What exactly did that brat do behind my back after going out with those two men?

It's only been less than twelve hours, but it feels like he's already accomplished a lot. Is this just my imagination?

Chapter 583. Theresa is trying to kill me!

However, after the initial shock, Theresa let out a long sigh as she looked at the pair of guns, her feelings complicated.

It's certainly a good thing that the symbol of the Kaslana clan has returned to Kiana's hands.

If it were any other time, and Gu Yu personally handed the pair of Divine Keys to Kiana, in the eyes of others, the Judgment of Heavenly Fire would be nothing short of a token of love.

Then he left, only asking Theresa to pass on the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Theresa truly didn't understand why Gu Yu kept avoiding this issue.

It's almost chapter 600. Even a fool should be able to see what these girls around him think of him. They're always hiding, but they don't even know what they're hiding from.

Although Theresa felt her thinking ability had been greatly enhanced after obtaining the Stigmata, as a noblewoman who had been single for over forty years, Theresa really couldn't offer any reliable analysis or advice on matters of the heart.

"Forget it, we should let the experts handle things in this kind of situation."

"Let's find a way to force Gu Yu to make a decision. It's time for him to make a proper choice."

"I don't expect him to settle down and start a family, but he's not getting any younger and should be dating by now."

After dialing a number on her phone, Theresa waited for the other party to answer before speaking to Himeko Murata on the other end.

"Himeko, after your vacation ends, I have something I need you to do."

"Yes, it's very important. It's not exactly an emergency, but I'm not good at this, only you can handle it."
