A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

"She used the last moments of her life to hold off Gu Yu, allowing Lord Otto to launch the Honkai energy fission bomb at Sky City."

"What did you say?"

Even though she knew that her comrade in front of her was just a messenger, Durandal still couldn't contain her shock and grabbed Alvitt by the collar.

"Rita... Rita, how could this be?!"

"This is all the information I have. Moreover, Sky City has not been destroyed. In other words... the ancient, no, the Thirteenth Herrscher has not died."

"His goal is undoubtedly destiny. What you should be doing now is to calm yourself down and prepare to fight the enemy, isn't that right?"

Chapter 683. The Muzzle of the Rebellion

"Yes... what I should do now..."

Listening to Alvitt's words, Durandal forced herself to calm down...

No! It's impossible to stay calm!

Although she had grown into a graceful young woman, she was still only fourteen years old.

Everyone was so captivated by Durandal's immense power and her dashing figure that they completely forgot that, according to her age, the girl should only be a second-year junior high school student at this time.

Since meeting Rita, she has always been her pillar of support and companion.

Now that someone has told her that Rita died so mysteriously, how could she possibly calm down!

"Your Excellency, why did you do this... If it were me, I could have stopped Gu Yu even if it were him! Why sacrifice Rita!"

After grasping the lance she hadn't originally intended to use, a hint of killing intent gradually surfaced in Durandal's eyes.

There was nothing wrong with what Alvitt said. As the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, she should lead everyone to defeat... no, if she had just calmed down a little, Durandal wouldn't have thought she could easily defeat Gu Yu.

What she needs to do now is to first defeat the Herrscher, and then go to Bishop Otto to ask him why he chose to sacrifice Rita.

Figure out the important things, figure out the important things, Bianca!

However, the Destiny Headquarters is destined to be in turmoil today.

After the first alarm sounded, the Valkyries who were partying in Destiny were forced to abandon their holidays and prepare for battle.

However, Kiana Schariac, the current Saintess of Schariac, changed her expression immediately after seeing the message sent to her by her aunt Theresa Apocalypse.

Then, intense alarms sounded again throughout the entire Destiny headquarters.

Otto, at Schicksal headquarters, had anticipated that something unexpected would happen, but he hadn't expected...

At this time, when he needed troops the most, the remaining branches of the Heavenly Mandate actually split into two factions.

One of the factions obediently carried out Otto's orders, intending to go to the Fate Headquarters to delay Gu Yu's advance.

But another faction... the one led by the Far East and Oceania branches, actually chose to stand in the way of the faction loyal to them.

The two factions haven't clashed yet, but it seems that the Far East Branch, Oceania Branch, and other branches have a simple plan: to hold off the branches that come to help Otto.

According to the intelligence Otto obtained, he could even see that the girls from St. Freya Academy were already blocking the branch fleet that was preparing to come to the headquarters of Destiny.

"You've been outmaneuvered... You're something else, my dear granddaughter."

After receiving this intelligence, Otto immediately realized that Theresa had been secretly preparing to rebel against him.

This was certainly within Otto's calculations, but according to Otto's intelligence network, Theresa hadn't had any extra conversations with the other branch leaders.

If it were that Ossiani, the Oceania branch leader, was a comrade-in-arms of Theresa and the two branches had been on good terms for a long time, it would be understandable that he would unconditionally support Theresa's rebellion.

However, the other branch leaders had neither the ideas nor the courage to go against Otto. In other words, Theresa could not possibly have stirred up so many branches against her without any prior contact.

Unless Theresa and her group used other methods.

"Eroding the core... Good, good! Theresa, you did a great job!"

Otto's feelings were very complicated at this moment. On the one hand, he was furious because he had been betrayed, but at the same time, he was genuinely happy for Theresa.

After his plan succeeded, the entire Destiny would be a gift from him to Theresa. Otto truly felt at that moment that his granddaughter had really grown up, as Theresa was able to take such action one step ahead of time.

The timing was just wrong, or rather, Theresa seized the opportunity perfectly.

Gu Yu could storm the headquarters of Destiny at any time, and half of the branch members who were called in by Otto to act as human shields and moral blackmail have defected, while the other half have been stopped by the defectors.

Now, the only person I can rely on is Durandal, the highest-level combatant in Destiny.

If she, along with those Divine Machine Soldiers and the Undying Blade Squad, could handle Gu Yu, then everything would be fine.

But if she can't handle Gu Yu either... Ha, even if this brat has received his destiny, what can he do?

Otto isn't stupid; how could he possibly hide his entire Soul Steel body in Destiny?

When Fu Hua awakened her Herrscher core last time, she destroyed most of Otto's Soul Steel body with a single blow.

Even so, Otto still had other tricks up his sleeve.

Even if Gu Yu wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be easy.

Rather, if he were to fade from public view, Otto, who had essentially completed his plan, would have an opportunity to execute it thoroughly.

Now, it's up to Durandal.

If she can hold off Gu Yu...

"Ah, what should I say at this moment?"

In the sky above the headquarters of Destiny, a massive dimensional gate suddenly opened.

As a dark figure slowly descended from it, the alloy floor of the Destiny Headquarters immediately trembled violently and groaned.

"Gu Yu Bai Zhuang. Let that scoundrel Otto come out and face his death!"

"Gu Yu, you..."

After glancing at the young man in front of her, Durandal stepped in front of Gu Yu and said to him.

"Are you... the person in question?"

"Heh, what did Otto tell you again? Let me guess... Oh, I'm the Thirteenth Herrscher. Rita held me back for the greater good, so Otto blasted me with a Honkai energy fission bomb, right?"

After uttering these words with a sneer, Gu Yu glanced at the Valkyries surrounding him who were unwilling to attack him, and drew the Control Card Box Sword from his waist.

"Step back, everyone. You are heroes who fought for humanity. There is no need for you to lose your lives for that piece of trash, Otto."

"You Valkyries at headquarters all know my strength. Even if you all came at me together, you wouldn't be a match for me."

"You really are still Gu Yu. But this killing intent..."

"So, you want me to take a Honkai energy fission bomb and then still talk nicely, right?"

Looking at Yulandel dressed as the Moon Soul, Gu Yu originally wanted to strike her directly with his sword.

But until then...

【Bang】

Durandal, who remained in place, used the Black Abyss White Flower to block the bullet, then turned her gaze to her comrade who had attacked her.

Kiana... what do you mean?

Ignoring Durandal's questioning, Kiana raised the Heavenly Judgment, which had been defaced, and pointed both guns at Durandal.

"Big brother, you should go first. Don't waste your time on this woman."

"I'll handle this woman!"

Chapter 684. The Truth of That Year

Outside the Schicksal headquarters, all the Valkyries who were ready for battle were stunned when they saw Kiana pull the trigger.

Kiana Schariac, as the current generation's "Saintess of Destiny" and one of the three S-rank Valkyries of Destiny at this time, has many Valkyries at Destiny Headquarters who owe her a lot of favors.

After all, she has the Kaslana and Shaniat families as her backing, and she herself is exceptionally strong. She can easily solve problems and deal with enemies that are difficult for many Valkyries.

Therefore, even though she made a move that was almost rebellious, no one immediately pointed their weapons at this 'traitor'.

"Captain Kiana, what's wrong with you...?"

Lewis, Kiana's adjutant, said with a troubled expression.

“I understand how you feel, but Your Excellency the Bishop is now…”

"Otto's life is threatened, is that what you mean, Senior Lewis?"

"I chose to stop Durandal here precisely because I knew he was in dire straits. If you ask why..."

"—My mother, Cecilia Schariac, didn't die in battle during the Second Honkai Impact; she was killed by Otto Apocalypse!"

"ha????"

"He was spouting nonsense like 'Cecilia made him fire a Honkai energy fission bomb,' but I later found out it was all a complete lie!"

"My parents fought on the front lines! They joined forces with Anti-Entropy's Titan mechs and Anti-Entropy's leader, Welt Yang, to finally defeat the Second Herrscher, Sirin! But in the end, Otto, for unknown reasons, chose to try to kill my parents!"

"This is the truth of what happened back then! And you, Durandal, do you feel a sense of déjà vu about this scene?"

Lewis and Durandal were completely stunned by Kiana's shocking words.

"No! Nonsense! The former saintess and Siegfried were both generals under Bishop Siegfried at the time. Why would he use an expensive Honkai energy fission bomb to cripple his own arms!"

"Furthermore, there shouldn't be any record of Anti-Entropy participating in the battle during the Second Honkai Impact in Schicksal's database!"

Lewis frowned slightly as he listened to Durandal's words.

“Wait, Durandal, you don’t know this. I don’t know whether Lord Otto really killed Lady Cecilia, but during the Second Honkai Impact, Anti-Entropy did send their Titans to assist us.”

"After all, I personally witnessed those mechs helping us fight against the Honkai Beasts."
