A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

After saying this nonchalantly, Rook walked out of the secret base.

Watching his departing companions, Bishop, the team's strategist, could do nothing but swallow his bitterness.

About half a year ago, King, Bishop, and Rook, who had already died, and Knight and Pawn, two members of their race who were theoretically still alive, all traveled to this world at the same time.

At first, everyone's minds were in complete confusion, and they couldn't understand what was happening at all.

However, these were, after all, the highest-ranking blood goblins. After a few days, they realized that regardless of whether they had been dead or alive, they had all come to another world.

Apart from these five people, there is no concept of the "Thirteen Demon Races" in this world.

The human race, originally one of the thirteen demon races, no longer possesses the power shared by all demons—the Demon Emperor's Power.

Although the human race's Demon Emperor power is practically nonexistent, the difference between 0 and greater than 0 is enormous.

On the advice of Bishop, the team's strategist, King abandoned the idea of ​​directly enslaving humans and instead chose to disguise himself as a human to observe the world.

In the past six months, they have also figured out the true nature of humanity in this world.

First, although the humans in this world cannot use the Demon Emperor's power, they can manipulate a power called [Honkai Energy].

With this power, humans can also unleash destructive forces far exceeding those of ordinary people.

However, at the same time, there is also a phenomenon in this world called Honkai.

According to observations, human society is fighting against this phenomenon.

Of course, what is most bizarre is that most ordinary people in this world are unaware of the existence of the Honkai.

There are many things that can be done about this.

Bishop established the Pioneer Corporation, using his business acumen to enable its rapid growth.

They were fortunate enough to encounter a head-on clash between the Destiny Consortium and Me Company. After these two behemoths were both severely weakened, the pioneering company of the Fang Blood Demon clan successfully reaped a considerable amount of profits left behind by the corpses of these behemoths.

As the company grew larger, Bishop naturally and smoothly carried out his plans.

As a senior executive in his company, he first came into contact with senior executives from other companies.

After that, he used coercion and enticement to turn some of the company's top executives into henchmen of the Toothblood Demons.

After all, for powerless humans, becoming a Blood Demon would greatly increase both their lifespan and strength.

Otto had been covering up the Honkai, but the commotion caused by the second Honkai was so great that these capitalists in high positions could not possibly have been completely unaware of the strange phenomena in the world.

The olive branch extended by the Bishop is arguably the best gift for these greedy people.

Aside from a small number of hot-blooded young people who refused Bishop's invitation and had their bodies drained by him, most of the capitalists who were approached chose to join the Tooth Vampire clan.

If the Vampire Clan hadn't wanted to avoid making too much of a fuss, Bishop could have easily orchestrated a joint financial attack against Schicksal by having these conglomerates join forces.

At the same time, it was precisely because the power of the Fangblood Demons grew that the original five Fangblood Demon powerhouses had the opportunity to do more of what they wanted to do.

At least for now, besides targeting Destiny, there's something else Bishop really wants to accomplish.

That is—resisting the collapse.

During the past six months, Bishop had used his intelligence network to investigate the battle between Gu Yu and the Herrscher.

Although these people are still not as powerful as their leader King, they are enough to threaten King's life.

No one can guarantee that the next Herrscher won't be stronger, which is why Bishop doesn't want his troublemaking partner Rook to cause any trouble at this crucial moment.

Bishop's decision to join forces with Gu Yu is genuine. Having already died once, Bishop doesn't want to die again after his rebirth due to the trivial phenomenon of Honkai.

"Sigh, even though I spoke so confidently, I can't guarantee what the other party is really thinking."

"I can only hope that this kid harbors a lot of hatred. Otherwise..."

"If it really comes to that, we'll have no choice but to risk losing our combat strength and go head-to-head with this brat and Otto at the same time."

Chapter 623. What a load of rubbish business warfare!

The next day

After a restless and anxious day yesterday, Gu Yu walked out of her room with dark circles under her eyes.

Later, he met Raiden Mei, who was also sleepless, in the living room. After glancing at each other, they both looked away slightly.

Ah, apologizing at this time seems a bit off. I just beat someone up yesterday and then said, "I'm sorry, this was a necessary sacrifice." Wow, I'm not Gongtai, I can't say something like that naturally.

Gu Yu looked away. So… he was also disgusted by my weakness? Yes, I still can't control the Herrscher power like Wendy. I really am…

Each with their own complicated thoughts, the two tacitly departed in different directions.

Raiden Mei returned to her room and continued to isolate herself.

At this moment, Gu Yu felt it was inconvenient to talk to Raiden Mei, so he could only choose to shift his attention to other things.

After casually picking up a piece of bread and tossing it into the toaster, Gu Yu heated up a glass of milk for herself and walked to the door of Bronya's room.

"Bronya, are you free now?"

“…Brother Gu Yu, wait a minute.”

After standing at the door for a while, Gu Yu noticed Bronya's faint dark circles and asked with a slightly puzzled look.

"You didn't sleep well last night either?"

"Me Company... has something to take care of."

Recalling the message she received last night, a look of helplessness immediately appeared on Bronya's face.

In the past, her emotional circuits were severely damaged, resulting in her having virtually no facial expressions.

However, after Yae Rin healed her body with some of the Herrscher of Death's powers, she discovered that sometimes, being expressionless wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

If it were the Bronya of the past, she could have used her acting skills to deceive Gu Yuge's inner anxiety, but now...

—Forget it, I won't think about it anymore.

What happened to Me Company?

After handing the bread and milk to the girl in front of him, Gu Yu looked at the slight weariness on her face and waited for her to explain the current situation to him.

Gu Yu was well aware of how sharp Bronya's business acumen was.

Under her management, Me社, while not thriving, at least managed to maintain its market share.

It's strange that someone would still be waging a business war at this time.

Wasn't the incident involving Cocolia and Otto enough to warn the world?

"To put it simply, Me Company has been besieged by a group of conglomerates in the business world these past few days—Gu Yu, don't look at me like that, it's not a conglomerate of destiny."

Seeing the "I get it, Otto must be up to something" look instantly appear on Gu Yu's face, Bronya put the bread and milk aside and gently clicked the mouse with her finger.

"The conglomerates on the Schicksal side have also been greatly affected. Bronya thought about it for a long time but still couldn't understand what benefits this business war would bring to these conglomerates, even though they really were targeting Me and Schicksal's conglomerates."

"Is that so? That's strange. No one would do something without a benefit. None of the capitalists who can build such large conglomerates are idiots. Their actions must have a hidden purpose."

"If it's not for making money, what exactly are they planning to do?"

"Yes, Bronya just can't understand that."

After saying that, the two stared at each other, wide-eyed, and then...

"Honestly, if you can't figure out the answer to a question, you should abandon normal thinking. The more outlandish the answer, the closer you are to the truth. So..."

Gu Yu glanced at the stock charts on Bronya's computer desktop, which were all showing a sharp decline, and suddenly said.

"These people couldn't possibly have chosen this self-destructive tactic just to grab attention, could they? Everyone's stock prices are falling, aren't they worried?"

"Do not believe."

“…Brother Gu Yu, you’re right. Maybe that’s really what they’re planning.”

Looking at the continuously declining data, Bronya frowned slightly, then suddenly realized that what Gu Yu said was absolutely right.

"At roughly the same time, they launched simultaneous attacks on the Destiny Foundation and Me Company. Although this caused their stock prices to fall, it also made us aware of their existence."

"If the other side intends to eliminate Me Company and Destiny Group in one fell swoop, then they will not attack two behemoths at the same time when they are sure they cannot eliminate us in one go."

"So the answer is the same as what Brother Gu Yu said—they are trying to make their presence felt."

"And it also demonstrates its presence to both Me Company and Destiny Foundation at the same time."

After Gu Yu said those words, Bronya seemed to feel something in her brain connect at the same time. Her expression changed, and she sat down in front of the computer, gently typing on the keyboard.

While the Tenmei Foundation and Me-sha aren't exactly mortal enemies, they're certainly not on good terms. However, for them to launch attacks on both sides simultaneously suggests that these foundations, Tenmei, and Me-sha are not allies.

"Bronya felt as if she had discovered some incredible truth: that both Schicksal and Me were enemies at the same time."

After gently pressing the [Enter] key, Bronya and Gu Yu, who had come closer, both fell into deep thought as they looked at the name DEVELOPMENT & PIONEER on the monitor.

"Thinking about it carefully, Me is in Bronya's hands. If this enemy is targeting Bronya... that doesn't make sense. Bronya hasn't provoked any other enemies."

"No, they're not after you. These people probably found out about our relationship."

DEVELOPMENT & PIONEER—this name was somewhat unfamiliar to Gu Yu, but combined with what she had seen yesterday, Gu Yu felt like she remembered it…

In the original Kamen Rider Kiva series, the Vampire Investment Company that Dentaiga was in charge of seemed to have this name.
