A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

Chapter 616. The Newborn Fang

However, the initial plan has been decided, but the subsequent operations still need to be refined gradually.

Although Otto and Kevin were running out of time, they weren't fools and wouldn't ruin their grand plan to kill Gu Yu because of their momentary impatience.

One must eat one bite at a time. Now that K423 has completed his awakening, and Otto has gathered the Void Key and the Void Key's beacon, as long as he defeats Gu Yu, Otto can slowly proceed with the final part of his plan.

He waited five hundred years to revive Kallen!

Now that hope is within reach, how could he possibly ruin his plans out of impatience?

"Lord Otto, something bad has happened!"

Just as Otto continued to ponder his next move, Amber entered Otto's room and spoke to him.

"A conglomerate under the Tianming banner is in trouble!"

"...What's going on? Don't panic, tell me slowly."

Damn it, Cocolia is dead. Although Me Company has become even more powerful after being bought by that girl named Bronya Zaychek, she's a smart woman.

During this period, although she rapidly expanded Me Company's market and strength, the aftereffects of the last business war had not been completely eliminated, so Me Company and the Destiny Group kept to themselves for the time being.

Apart from Me-sha, other conglomerates either cannot pose a threat to the Destiny Conglomerate, or they know that the Destiny Conglomerate has powerful backers and dare not act recklessly.

Who exactly dares to make a move against the Destiny Group at this critical juncture?

"According to the intelligence we obtained, a company called D&P has emerged as a dark horse during this period, directly seizing a large market share with its bizarre technology and methods."

If that were all, Amber wouldn't be so flustered, so Otto didn't interrupt her and chose to wait quietly for her to continue.

“Our conglomerate under the Destiny Group sent in a lot of industrial spies during this period. But after these industrial spies entered D&P, they all disappeared without a trace.”

"Interesting. These guys don't take our destiny seriously."

After hearing what Amber said, Otto didn't panic in the slightest.

Before sending out the Void Treasury, Otto possessed advanced technology sufficient to elevate the technological level of this world to a higher level.

However, considering the nature of Honkai, Otto ultimately chose to suppress the tech tree.

Considering that others may have inherited the legacy of the previous era, it is not surprising that some self-righteous fools occasionally emerge.

Under normal circumstances, Otto might not have resorted to any radical methods, but instead chose to slowly erode his opponent, assimilate them into the forces of Destiny, and then incorporate their advanced technology.

However, this is a crucial time for Otto to hunt down Gu Yu, and he doesn't want any unexpected events to disrupt his plans at this critical juncture.

“Let’s use swift and decisive measures to make them submit, Amber. Let Rita handle this; she’ll take care of it.”

"Yes, I understand, Lord Otto."

After seeing Otto's nonchalant expression, Amber calmed down a bit.

Yes, these are all trivial matters for Lord Otto. Am I getting a little too excited?

Just as Amber was beginning to feel at ease, the highest level alarm suddenly sounded within Destiny.

At that moment, Otto's eyes became incredibly sharp.

Hmph, someone would attack Destiny at a time like this?

Could it be that D&P, that company, is really that audacious?

"Rita, Durandal, send out the Undying Blade."

"Lord Otto, something bad has happened!"

Just as Otto was about to deploy the Undying Blade, a voice suddenly reached his ears through the internal communication system of Schicksal.

"I am Lewis, the A-rank Valkyrie of the Shaniat Squad, reporting to Lord Otto!"

"Someone just broke into our Schicksal headquarters and seems to have stolen a crucial item. I don't know what it is, but they've already started fighting our Schicksal Valkyrie forces."

"Because the enemy's attack methods were extremely strange and their power was immense, after the Valkyries suffered heavy casualties, Lady Durandal and Lady Rita, who arrived at the scene, led the Undying Blade to engage the enemy forces. However..."

"After fighting one of the three attackers, Lady Rita was instantly seriously injured."

"Although Lady Durandal managed to stop the strongest of them, the last one still managed to suppress our main force. What should we do now? Please advise!"

? ? ? ? ? ?

Three people turned fate upside down?

Damn, the strongest one, could it be Gu Yu?!

"Lewis, what do the three attackers look like?"

"Rather than three people, they're more like... Honkai Beasts?"

"The three of them could easily kill our A-rank Valkyries with just ordinary punches. After their wide-range attacks, our Valkyrie force is basically incapacitated. Although the Divine Machine has been deployed, I don't think it can defeat them."

"I see. Inform Durandal to release them..."

"and many more!"

While communicating with Lewis and reviewing internal network intelligence, Otto suddenly changed his expression and let out a roar at Lewis.

"We can't let those three bastards get away! Tell everyone, they must be brought down here!"

Previously, when the four Herrschers awakened in Sky City, the Plague Gem in Otto's possession flew towards Sky City on its own due to the awakening of the Herrscher of Flame.

To ensure that the Serenity Gem, which was of utmost importance to him, would not be disturbed, Otto specifically imposed multiple layers of security on the location where the Serenity Gem was kept.

However, according to intelligence obtained through the internal network, the Tranquility Gem has already been stolen by the other party.

Aside from the Key of the Void and the Beacon, this Tranquility Gem is practically Otto's lifeline!

Now that the other party has taken the Tranquility Gem, how could he possibly let them leave!

“Lord Otto, I am Durandal…”

Just seconds later, Durandal's weak and feeble voice reached Otto's ears.

"I'm sorry... the opponent was too strong. The power of the World Bubble within me is still unstable, and the opponent defeated me before I could use my full strength."

"If they hadn't been in such a hurry to escape, I might have been killed by them too."

"I understand. Let the rescue team treat the injured first. Then..."

Are these aliens part of the monsters that Gu Yu has been targeting...?

So……

"Amber, send this intelligence to Gu Yu."

At that moment, Otto continued speaking with a cold expression.

"I believe our not-so-lovable hero knows what choice to make."

Chapter 617. The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

Thirty minutes later, at the Destiny Headquarters.

Inside the headquarters of Destiny, Otto looked at the report Amber had given him with a dark expression, feeling extremely frustrated.

In the more than 500 years since he killed his own family and took control of Schicksal, no one, except for Fu Hua who had just awakened, has dared to directly confront Otto at Schicksal headquarters.

Schicksal is the center of the world's fight against the Honkai. It is home to a large number of Valkyries and has deployed countless Divine Machines, ready to fight off enemies at any time.

Even if Durandal, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, were to come, Otto felt that without using the power of the World Bubble, she would probably not be able to gain much advantage at Schicksal headquarters due to the sheer number of people.

But now, judging from the battle footage left at the scene, those three monsters who stormed the Destiny Headquarters actually possessed combat power that could overwhelm the Destiny Headquarters.

Two of the three attackers had external armor that looked like colorful glass.

The remaining person had a bat-like appearance.

Of course, these are not the key points.

The key point is that the fighting power of these three is truly terrifying.

The first two have the ability to release sharp objects that are difficult to see. Valkyries hit by this ability are either B-rank or A-rank, whose life force is absorbed and they become empty shells. A-rank Valkyries are barely alive after being ambushed.

Rita Rossweisse, one of the two S-class Valkyries present, was easily defeated after being ambushed from behind by the burly monster who attacked her with a sharp object.

As for the one who fought Durandal...

After witnessing the battle unfold before him, Otto understood why Durandal had failed to stop the enemy.

Durandal was straightforward, and she didn't tell Otto any lies.

The opponent effortlessly suppressed Durandal in the battle, and Durandal was unable to inflict much effective damage on him.

If the other party hadn't been in such a hurry to take the Tranquility Gem and leave, this bright red monster with the appearance of a bat could have easily demolished the Schicksal headquarters with his two henchmen.

"Damn it, this level of monster... is not even in the same league as those mirror monsters that trampled me before, or those otherworldly beings."

Recalling the strange monsters he had encountered, Otto fell into deep thought.

The Tranquility Gem is very important to Otto. Under normal circumstances, Otto might have already gone to great lengths to have the other Valkyries retrieve the Tranquility Gem.

But after witnessing Durandal's battle with the opponent, Otto completely lost that idea.

The Tranquility Gem is important, but Otto has no intention of doing something pointless with no chance of success.

Durandal is his last trump card. If even this trump card can't defeat the opponent, then taking away any amount of combat power with Durandal will just be a waste.

Kevin and Otto did team up, but that doesn't mean they weren't wary of each other.

Otto and Kevin made a deal, but the item in the deal, [Void Treasury], was previously taken by Gu Yu.

Otto did manage to obtain the beacon, thus fulfilling his transaction objective. However, Kevin, who failed to acquire the Void Treasury, essentially got away with it for free, gaining nothing but a beating.

If Durandal, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, were to die outside, Otto suspected that Kevin would storm Schicksal headquarters, tear Otto's Soulsteel body apart, and then attempt to seize control of Schicksal.

"Ultimately, these things are now completely out of my control. However, an opportunity has arisen."

"Lord Otto, these reports have been sent to Mr. Gu Yu and Lady Theresa's email addresses. The rest..."

Upon seeing Amber's hesitant expression, Otto chuckled and said...

"Amber, go and maintain order at the scene, and at the same time, have the medical department do everything they can to treat the injured Valkyrie."

"Also, urge the combat data analysis department to complete the data analysis as soon as possible. I think I've found a way to break the deadlock."
