Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

However, Fu You did not listen to Theresa's warning.

"But if your Lord Bishop is ignorant of the current situation and harms my companions, then I regret to tell you that the price you pay will be far more than just a floating island."

"Kiana was kidnapped by you... What did you do to her?" Hearing Fu You's threat, Theresa asked suddenly, feeling a little panic in her heart.

"Haha, I didn't realize you cared about her so much."

Seeing that Theresa cared so much about Kiana, Fu You didn't intend to hide it, but chose to tell the truth.

"I deprived her of her senses (let her have a good dream), made her lose her ability to move (fell asleep), and arranged for her to keep an unreachable distance from her mother (slept next to her mother)..." Fu You thought about it and added a sentence after listing all the details.

"By the way, even if you were standing in front of her now, she probably wouldn't be able to recognize you (after all, she's still dreaming of being the strongest Valkyrie)."

"You actually did such a cruel thing to a child... You devil!" Clearly, Theresa had misinterpreted Fuyou's vague words. The rage boiling in her chest threatened to burst through her throat. Thinking of her adorable little Kiana, who followed her around and whispered "Auntie," being subjected to such a cruel act, Theresa was furious. The Oath of Judas trembled violently in her hand, as if echoing its owner's fury. In her fury, Theresa didn't even consider the difference in power between them. She lifted the Judas and smashed it towards Fuyou.

"Asshole! I'll fight you!!"

Chapter 76 Fall

The invincible Theresa fell.

"You're kidding... How is this even possible..." Theresa's voice trembled with resentment, straining through her teeth. After only a few rounds, Theresa's body slammed to the ground, her knees buckling in pain, her arms firmly bracing against the ground, as if she had exhausted all her strength. Even back in the Tower of Babylon, this guy hadn't defeated her so quickly... "It's not impossible. On the contrary, I'm curious, how can you stand on equal footing with Cecilia? You're far inferior to her in strength."

Looking at Theresa curiously, Fu You showed her no mercy.

"Compared to her, you seem completely incompetent in combat. Without the Divine Key, you would never be Bella's opponent."

"Damn it... Are you humiliating me?" Hearing this, Theresa, unable to bear the humiliation, glared at Fu You fiercely. True, she wasn't as gifted and diligently trained as Cecilia, but she wasn't bad either... It was clearly this guy in front of her who was too bizarre. At this thought, Theresa even felt a flicker of resentment. Watching Fu You slowly approach her, Theresa gritted her teeth, still trying to make a final stand. Glancing at Judas, who had been shot down to the side, Theresa stretched out her hand with her last ounce of strength, her fingertips almost touching the edge of Judas. But the next moment, Fu You's figure suddenly enlarged in Theresa's peripheral vision, and then he stepped on the cross.

"You can't win. I can sense your frail will to fight—it's completely unworthy of the hidden power within you."

Speaking lazily, Fu You sensed the Vishnu factor hidden in Theresa's body, but this white-haired dwarf seemed unable to develop it.

"It seems that you are the strongest here? Actually, I didn't expect to get here so easily. I originally thought I would encounter some decent resistance."

Looking at Theresa struggling on the ground, Fu You leaned over with a rather evil look, met Theresa's blue eyes, and asked slowly.

"By the way, where is the girl your bishop rescued in the Kipchak Steppe? If you tell me her current location, I will let you go."

Xilin had mentioned the clown claiming to be the Archbishop of Heaven's Mandate, and the man who had kidnapped Chi Yuan. Putting their actions together, Fu You could already determine who had kidnapped Chi Yuan. And now, if they could find Chi Yuan's hiding place while breaking into Heaven's Mandate headquarters, that would be even better. Looking at the white-haired dwarf before him again, Fu You felt she must know something.

"Huh?" Theresa was stunned when she looked at Fu You. Her grandfather had never told her about saving people. However, seeing his desire for knowledge, Theresa naturally couldn't be kind to the guy who "hurt" Kiana.

"Heh...you villain, I will never tell you!" Theresa said coldly, with a look of determination to die rather than surrender.

"Oh?" Seeing this, Fu You was surprised for a moment, then spoke with interest.

"There's an old saying in Shenzhou that goes, 'He who knows the times is a hero.' Miss Theresa, I hope you understand this truth. Cecilia and Kiana are still in my hands. Don't forget that."

"Dream on! You accomplice of the Second Herrscher, don't even think about getting any information from me!" Theresa raised her head stubbornly and shouted angrily, showing no intention of compromise.

"Oh, interesting..." Seeing this, Fu You didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at Theresa cheerfully, which made her feel a chill. If it were in the past, even with his immense power, Fu You couldn't force others to submit to his will. But now... "Yu Duchen."

Seeing this, Fu You didn't hesitate, calling out softly. A few feathers fluttered past, and before Theresa could react, consciousness faded like the tide, her eyes lost their focus, and her pupils became dilated. The next moment, without the support of consciousness, Theresa's body collapsed to the ground, motionless. Fu You, meanwhile, began to search through Theresa's memories, trying to find clues about the Red Kite.

After briefly browsing Theresa's memories, Fu You was stunned. This guy's mind... had no clue about Chi Yuan's current hiding place.

"...You know nothing, so why are you still being so stubborn?" Speechlessly looking at Theresa, who lay motionless on the ground, Fu You began to suspect something had happened. However, through Theresa's memories, Fu You knew everything about the white-haired dwarf before him. This included the fact that she was the granddaughter of that bishop Otto, and also about Theresa's past, such as Theresa's original name, [A310]. However, Fu You hadn't expected that Otto hadn't even told his granddaughter where Chi Yuan was hiding. Fu You could only put this matter aside for the time being. The most urgent task was to control the other islands and completely seize the lifeblood of the Mandate Headquarters.

"Tsk, boring."

After standing up, Fu You glanced at Judas on the ground, seemed to have thought of something, and thought for a moment.

"...By the way, it seems the last person who used Judas's White Hair was also defeated by Master Yu Duchen."

Fu You recalled that it happened about five hundred years ago, also on the Kipchak Steppes. It seemed like it was during the Tianming expedition to the east that their Saint Maiden was instantly killed by the Red Kite Immortal. What was he doing then? Oh, he was preparing to destroy Tianming's eastern expeditionary force, but the Immortal had gotten there first and defeated Tianming first. Unsure of defeating the Immortal, he observed from afar and then left. Years later, when he decided to settle his score with the Immortal, he discovered that Taixu Mountain was completely deserted, even his former home burned to the ground. Furious, he inquired everywhere, only to learn of the Immortal's death. For a moment, he couldn't accept it, feeling a complex mix of joy and sorrow. Foolishly, he believed it, even preparing to let go of the feud. It wasn't until a few days ago, when he ran into Cheng Lixue, that he realized he'd been tricked by Chi Yuan. That guy had been living a quiet, secluded life... The thought of this made Fu You's teeth itch with hatred, and he'd been brooding over this matter ever since. Finally, he tracked down the culprits who attacked and set Chi Yuan on fire—Chi Yuan's seven disciples. Aside from the youngest, he'd found all six of the traitors who murdered their master. And then... "Oh, I'm really getting old. I'll always have flashbacks."

With a self-deprecating laugh, Fu You stopped his thoughts and shook his head, analyzing the current situation. From Theresa's memories, she was the only high-level combatant capable of fighting at the Skyward Headquarters. Siegfried was still recovering on the floating island next door. Meanwhile, Bishop Otto had already traveled to Siberia to pursue his own plans. From Theresa's memories of Otto, Fu You concluded that Otto's love for his granddaughter was genuine. This, in turn, reassured him that he was forcing Otto to abandon his plans for Silin.

"The Destiny Headquarters... belongs to me!" Sensing that there were no more rivals in the floating island group, although there were still sporadic troops fighting against the remaining Honkai beasts, Fu You was sure that there was no force here that could effectively resist him.

Chapter 77 Better

Outside the Tower of Babel, two figures slowly emerged from the distant snowy plains. Xilin squinted her eyes, her expression solemn.

"Your Majesty, the bishop of destiny has brought Bella here. What should we do next?" Aurora, who had rushed back, brought the latest situation.

"Okay, I understand. Back off."

With a murmur, Xilin acknowledged her understanding. Then, she tilted her head slightly, signaling Aurora to leave. Xilin had no idea what would happen in the upcoming meeting with the bishop, but since he had easily captured Bella, it was clear that the upcoming meeting was not one Aurora could interfere in. For the sake of her family's lives, Xilin felt it was wise to let Aurora leave.

"By the way, Mom...that woman and the little guy Fu You brought back seem to be still in the tower?" Remembering something, Xilin turned around and added something to Aurora.

"Take them away with you, and then have Agatha and Galina wait and see what happens. Fu You said that as long as we hold them off for a while, he can capture the enemy's lair."

"By then... we will be the ones holding the initiative!" Xilin clenched her fists with full confidence, gazing at the figure gradually approaching in the distance, gritting her teeth.

"After rescuing Bella, I will make that bishop pay the price!" "Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Aurora bowed slightly and then retreated back into the Tower of Babylon.

"Hmph, the Bishop of Destiny?" Looking into the distance, Xilin snorted disdainfully, and flames of hatred flashed in her golden eyes.

"Trying to meddle with God's wisdom? Ridiculous..."

"Miss Second Herrscher, I have brought your family here, and they are unharmed."

The blond man smiled faintly, but his eyes glanced upwards.

"Human, how dare you use my beloved relatives to threaten me? Have you thought about how you will die?" In mid-air, Xilin spoke arrogantly with an arrogant attitude, looking down from a high position.

"Let go of Bella now, and I might even show mercy and spare your life."

"Just kidding, it's just a body made of soul steel."

Shaking his head slightly, Otto rejected Xilin and instead placed Bella, whose eyes were dull, in front of him.

"I'm sorry, but until I accomplish my goal, Miss Bella is my only bargaining chip. I hope you can understand, Miss Second Herrscher."

Otto still spoke in a gentle tone and slowly.

"You..." Seeing Otto so stubborn, Xilin didn't plan to be polite anymore.

"It's okay to tell you the truth. I'm afraid your destiny is in chaos now! Humph, you didn't expect it, did you?" Xilin was very proud and couldn't wait to see the drastic emotional fluctuations on Otto's face.

"Oh, is that so?" However, Otto did not react at all, but pretended to be surprised, as if he had expected this.

"Let me think, is it the one who made Walter fail and kidnapped Cecilia?" Otto showed his annoying smile again, as if he was sure of victory.

"How did you know?" Xilin was stunned, and a bad premonition passed through her heart.

"Heh, instead of making me worry about the Destiny Headquarters, Miss Second Herrscher, you should be more concerned about the safety of your partner."

While talking nonsense, Otto quietly closed the distance between himself and Xilin.

"After all... I've already moved all the valuables from the Tianming headquarters. As for your companion, as his host, I left him some small gifts."

As he spoke, Otto added another sentence, as if he was afraid that Xilin would be worried.

"Don't worry, as long as your companion doesn't do anything wrong on the floating island, he won't be harmed."

"But if he acts rashly, the Honkai fission bombs hidden within the island will be activated..." In Otto's view, whether it was a Pseudo-Hermaphrodite, a Honkai Beast, or even a unique individual from Shenzhou, all would be instantly annihilated by the Honkai fission bombs. Ever since Walter's near-miss, Otto had focused on the figure close to Sirin. This invasion was within the bishop's expectations. At the cost of one or more empty floating islands and the troops within, Otto was more than happy to eliminate an uncertain variable from his plans.

"What?!" Hearing this, Xilin was in a state of panic and didn't know what to do. However, at this moment, Otto let go of the dumb Bella and rushed towards Xilin.

"Damn it, are you out of your mind? I'm going to kill you now!" Seeing the other party rushing towards him without knowing the danger, Xilin grinned, and several phantoms of the Sub-Sky Spear emerged from behind him.

"Miss Herrscher, why do you think I've been talking to you for so long?" Otto's fake smile was still there, and immediately, Xilin's heart was alarmed. However, by the time Xilin came to her senses, it was too late. At this moment, Otto's plan had already succeeded.

"Feather... Feather Dust?!" Xilin was shocked to see the familiar sight of feathers falling before her. But she soon discovered the clue - unlike the crimson feathers that Fuyou cherished, the "Feather Dust" in Otto's hand was gleaming with gold.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to know Yu Duchen."

Otto was slightly surprised when he heard Xilin's exclamation, and then shook his head.

"But this is just a [mimicry]. Although it's not as powerful as the real thing, it's enough to deal with you, Second Herrscher."

"Damn it..." Silin had let herself go. She was still too young, her words caught up in Otto's words, forgetting Fu You's instructions before he left. Now, she felt her consciousness drifting in and out, barely staying awake. Possessing six powers, her Herrscher core connected to the imaginary realm, and possessing an inexhaustible supply of Honkai energy, she found herself completely useless at this moment. With her mental resistance minimal, Silin, caught off guard, quickly became absorbed in Otto's illusion. Seeing his own success, Otto felt a long-overdue surge of genuine excitement.

"[God]..." Placing his palm on Xilin's forehead, Otto suppressed his joy, slowly closed his eyes, and connected his consciousness to Xilin's mind. At the same time, the snow around them swayed slightly. Several soul steel bodies with faces identical to Otto's surrounded Otto and Xilin, silently guarding them.

The last floating island still resisting. He skillfully shattered the energy barrier, ignoring the Valkyries while hypnotizing them, and then destroyed the Divine Machine Army... As for the non-combatants, Fu You ignored them. At this point, the entire Tianming Headquarters had completely lost the possibility of resistance. The battle was over again in a very short time. Fu You walked through the mechanical wreckage and headed for the center of the floating island. However, suddenly, Fu You's intuition sensed something was wrong, as if something was preparing to strike. Without any hesitation or delay, Fu You retreated violently, leaving the floating island behind in an instant. A huge amount of Honkai energy erupted around his body, spreading out like a surging tide, instantly forming an impenetrable Honkai energy field.

"Boom--" At the same time, a bright light flashed from the floating island just now, and the shock wave followed. The hidden Honkai fission bomb exploded. With a violent roar, Fu You looked at the floating island in astonishment as it fell apart and turned into fragments and fell downwards. As for the humans on it, their fate was even more imaginable. Although this Honkai beast fission bomb did not hurt Fu You, it brought a great shock to the Honkai beast's mind. There were so many troops and facilities on the floating island, just to bury himself there, and they blew it up directly? "...Why?" For a moment, the knowledgeable Fu You was also at a loss. Before he took action... Tianming destroyed the floating island himself. Fu You didn't understand what was going on. Why did it seem that Tianming's bishop didn't care about this place more than himself?

Chapter 78 Soul

The Tower of Babylon. Under the influence of the Void Myriad Treasures, Xilin stood there in a daze, motionless. Otto had successfully connected to Xilin's consciousness. Now, it was time for the bishop to reap the rewards he had long awaited. However, several kilometers away, a black hooded figure slowly emerged from the shadows. The gray snake stared directly in Xilin's direction, observing Otto's every move. As if sensing that the Second Herrscher's consciousness had been sealed, the gray snake slowly raised the communicator in its hand.

"Get ready... Doctor, it's time."

At this moment, within Xilin's consciousness, Otto was quietly observing the Second Herrscher's dream. ... "Bella, bring me breakfast!" Xilin dazedly opened her eyes from the bedroom, looked around blankly, and called out.

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Before she finished speaking, Bella appeared at Xilin's bedroom door with food.

"By the way, mom didn't find out that I asked Fuyou to secretly help me with my homework, right?" Xilin looked around with a piece of bread in her mouth, and seeing that no one was around, she asked Bella secretly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Bella also looked around and leaned over to Xilin's ear and whispered.

"The homework's all done, seniors. Now all you have to do is get up and play some games!" "Cecilia, what are you and Bella talking about?" Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind the two whispering people. Cecilia and Bella were startled. They slowly raised their heads and found that Cecilia had arrived at the door of their room without them noticing.

"Don't learn bad things from Kiana!" Cecilia smiled and raised her hand, revealing Xilin's game console.

"Mom, I know! Actually, I was going to do my homework, but Bella wanted to drag me to play games, and I was criticizing her!" Seeing this, Xilin immediately put on a righteous attitude.

"My Queen..." Seeing that Sirin had sold her out so quickly, Bella froze in her place, looking pathetic. ... "Why is Cecilia in the Second Herrscher's subconscious?" Otto's face flickered with confusion when he saw Sirin referring to "mother." Cecilia had defeated the Pseudo-Herrscher herself, and later directly engaged the Second Herrscher. Now Sirin was subconsciously showing a reliance on Cecilia, which clearly made no sense. It seemed like something else was going on behind the scenes that she was unaware of... "Interesting."

Seeing Xilin's peaceful dream, Otto whispered and smiled slightly.

"However, Second Herrscher, allow me to embellish your dream a little."

…In the dream, Xilin encountered some minor troubles at the moment.

"Xilin, please answer this question."

The brown-haired man rubbed his glasses, pointed at the question on the blackboard, and called on Xilin. This was Walter, the strictest teacher in the school and the one who gave Xilin the most headaches.

"Fuyou, help..." Looking at the question, Xilin's mind went blank, and she immediately looked at her deskmate for help. Facing Walter's scrutinizing gaze, Fuyou didn't say anything, but just pointed to a certain place in the textbook calmly.

"I know, the answer is..." "Your Majesty, this is bad!" Before the surprised Xilin could give the answer, Bella suddenly rushed in from the door, panting.
