Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

"But the Gem of Desire must never fall into Otto's hands!" "Then there's nothing to say, Doctor. The bishop said that if you persist in your delusion, he will kill you here and then take it back..." With a sharp look in his eyes, the leading Valkyrie raised his gun.

"No way! That thing is mine!" Suddenly, a brazen voice echoed from the forest. Instantly, the Valkyries were on guard. Maki, lying on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief. Cocolia's reinforcements had finally arrived. As for Dr. Maki's decision to defect from the Destiny at such a cost, it all stemmed from a previous experiment.

At the Third Destiny Research Institute, experiments proceeded as usual. Inside a vast experimental chamber, a young woman closed her eyes, quietly immersed in the experiment. Dr. Maki, the institute's chief scientist, sweat dripped from his forehead and he swallowed hard, looking no different from a newly minted researcher.

"Doctor, you don't look right today. What's wrong? Are you nervous?" The blond man walked past Dr. Maki. It was Otto, the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny. Otto jokingly looked at Maki, who was staring intently at the laboratory, and spoke.

"But I remember that five Valkyries died in the experiment last month, but you were still excitedly requesting to add more experimental subjects!" Otto nodded towards the experimental cabin, looking very excited.

"Yes, I have brought you a new experimental subject... Let me think, you are so nervous, it can't be because this experimental subject is your granddaughter, right?" "Your Excellency the Bishop, Lin is not yet an adult..." There was a bit of flattery and weakness in his words, and Dr. Maki smiled humbly and flatteringly, as if he still had a glimmer of fantasy.

"That won't do, Dr. Maki. Your granddaughter volunteered for the experiment."

Otto just shook his head gently, completely ignoring Dr. Maki's desperate look. His tone was gentle, but with an indescribable indifference.

"Just because I told her that releasing the power of the gem would allow her to better protect humanity, she willingly participated in the experiment. She's truly a respectable Valkyrie..." Otto sighed from the bottom of his heart, but the meaning changed in Maki's ears.

"Shut up! Don't say anymore!" Dr. Maki could no longer hold back. Without caring about the man's position in the entire destiny, he roared at Otto angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Let's start the experiment now!" Otto was not annoyed by Dr. Maki's anger, but gave orders to the assistant next to him.

"It cost me a lot to get the Desire Gem from Anti-Entropy, but the result is good. Destiny has obtained the Desire Gem. If there is a Valkyrie who can adapt to it, Destiny's strength will be further enhanced."

Otto muttered to himself, gazing at the Valkyrie in the experimental chamber, filled with anticipation. Currently, the top-tier forces of the Skyward Sword were too few, and Otto desperately wanted to change the situation. "Fusion at 10 percent... Fusion error!" Even as Dr. Maki prayed endlessly, no miracle came. Disaster struck again in this experiment.

"The subject's body cannot withstand the Honkai energy! The subject begins to collapse!" The researchers around were busy, as if they were extremely skilled, but Dr. Maki felt heartbroken and stared at the experimental cabin in a daze.

"Alas, it still can't bear the power of the Desire Gem?" Otto sighed regretfully, having already concluded that this experiment had failed. Inside the experimental chamber, the girl also woke up from the intense pain. She spotted Dr. Maki clinging to the side of the chamber and struggled to crawl over.

"Grandpa, it hurts so much, it hurts so much... Please save me..." Just like the pain Xilin suffered in the Tower of Babel many years ago, but Lin did not encounter the last ray of hope in despair like Xilin. Instead, she watched her body gradually fall apart in despair.

"No!!" Dr. Maki knelt outside the experimental chamber, tears streaming down his face, but he was powerless to do anything. He could only watch as the body of his only relative, his granddaughter, was shattered by the collapse and erosion, and dissipated into the air.

"Why, why..." Maki still vividly remembered the smile on his granddaughter's face on the day she became a Valkyrie, and he simply couldn't accept the fact.

"The experimental subject has died. Clean up the lab and prepare for the next experiment."

Ignoring Dr. Maki's mood, Otto shook his head. This experiment did not meet his expectations at all. The fusion degree of 10% was still too low.

"Time to find a new test subject... Oh, and that A-rank Valkyrie Wendy in New Zealand seems to have a good compatibility with the Desire Gem. Let's prepare to have her participate in the experiment."

Muttering to himself, Otto passed by the kneeling Dr. Maki and walked out of the lab. For Otto, this was just a simple experimental failure, and the loss was just an ordinary A-rank Valkyrie. But for Maki, he had lost everything.

"Dr. Maki, are you okay?" Seeing that Otto had gone far away, the surrounding researchers approached Maki and asked with concern.

"This... is this retribution?" Exhausted both physically and mentally, Maki fainted.

Time goes back to the present, in the bishop's office at the Mandate headquarters.

"Heh, that Cocolia girl really thought she could fool me with her little tricks. She's still too naive. But her plan just makes it easier for me to act."

With a sneer, Otto set his sights on Singapore on the map.

"Lord Otto, why don't you tell Lady Fu Hua the truth about Anti-Entropy placing the Desire Gem in the Singapore area?" Amber was puzzled.

"Of course it's to prevent her from being prepared in advance... a sudden artificial collapse. As a former immortal, what would she do?" Otto patiently answered Amber's questions, his eyes fixed on her.

"I want to see with my own eyes whether my old friend is as charming and elegant as he was back then."

Otto still had some doubts about Fu Hua's strength, but he was also a little wary and didn't dare to test her directly. However, the artificial collapse that Cocolia was trying to cause happened to give Otto a perfect opportunity.

"But if the scale of Honkai gets out of control, do we need to abandon the entire Indonesian region?" Amber was still a little worried about this.

"Don't worry, Amber. Yulandel is currently at St. Freya's Academy. It won't take long for her to go and support Singapore."

Seeing what Amber was worried about, Otto spoke calmly. "As for the neutral countries? They're not under the jurisdiction of Destiny anyway, so let them be destroyed."

Chapter 162 Singapore Trip

In Singapore, Fu Hua and Kiana stood side by side in front of a magnificent hotel. Unlike her previous attire at the academy, Kiana now wore a white cheongsam, a unique and elegant look. Cecilia would undoubtedly be full of praise if she saw her. Through the window, Kiana's eyes lit up at the hotel's dazzling array of delicious food.

"Squad leader, let's go in quickly!" Turning her head to look at Fu Hua who was also wearing a light green cheongsam, Kiana couldn't help but urge.

"Something's wrong, Kiana. There's an anti-entropy tactical mecha hidden in this hotel."

Fu Hua's keen perception immediately allowed her to discover the clues. Although the Anti-Entropy mechas were in a hidden state, she was able to see through them at a glance.

"Ah... then let's change places?" Kiana said blankly after hearing this.

"No, don't forget our mission objective this time. Since we're investigating Thunder Ryuma, contact with Anti-Entropy forces is inevitable. Let's go in and investigate first..." Fu Hua prevaricated Kiana, gazing into the depths of the hotel with a subtle frown. From Fu You's words, it was clear that the mission Otto had assigned her was impossible. Thunder Ryuma wasn't in Singapore, but Anti-Entropy forces had indeed appeared here. Who knew what conspiracy Anti-Entropy was plotting?

"Be careful, Kiana. Don't let your identity be discovered, otherwise we will be in a very passive situation."

Fu Hua looked serious as she gave Kiana instructions.

"I know, I know! Don't worry, squad leader. I'm not that reckless!" Kiana immediately patted her chest and promised upon hearing that she could enter the hotel and feast. ...After Kiana and Fu Hua entered the hotel, three figures slowly emerged from a corner.

"We're like the pervert in anime who stalks girls..." Aurora complained helplessly after tracking them from the airport all the way here.

"You can't say that. If Xilin goes on a mission with a burden, can you be at ease?" Fu You argued.

"But if the Queen can't solve it, there's no point for us to go there, right?" The honest Galina answered everything.

"Uh…it's a metaphor, a metaphor."

Fu You was choked and sighed helplessly.

"Senior, do we need to stay here all the time?" Turning to look at Fu You, Aurora asked.

"You don't have to stay here all the time. Just pay attention to the movements in the hotel occasionally. You are my dear descendants. How could I possibly order you around like the Honkai beasts?" As he spoke, Fu You handed a bank card to Aurora and Galina respectively with great generosity.

"There is almost one million euros in each card. This time, just treat it as taking you to Singapore for fun. Tell me if it's not enough... Don't tell Xilin!" Fu You was scared when he thought of Xilin's expression when she found out that he had taken Aurora and Galina out to play without her knowledge while she was practicing.

"I seem to have heard you say that the annual salary of a Class A Valkyrie of Destiny is only one million Euros. So, senior is so rich now?" Aurora was dumbfounded. When she followed the Queen, she had never seen such a huge number.

"I am no longer the person I used to be."

Fu You spoke calmly, appearing calm on the surface, but deep down inside, he couldn't help but stir up a ripple. Although he owned a massive gaming company, and even a small amount of his income was enough to pay the Valkyries for several years, Fu You would rather go back to his old life where he could find free food and drinks from others.

"...Okay, go play, I'll just watch from here."

After a moment of silence, Fu You felt the faint energy of Honkai emanating from the hotel ahead, but he had no intention of leaving.

"Then Galina and I will be leaving first! Goodbye, senior!" Aurora was overjoyed, pulling Galina along as they walked off. He had originally planned to have Aurora and Galina handle the situation, but he hadn't expected to end up doing it himself. Watching Aurora and Galina disappear into the distance, Fu You let out a laugh. Never mind. After all, they were his own children. A little tolerance was always a good idea.

"It's delicious, so delicious!" In the hotel, Kiana's eyes flashed with ferocity, and she rushed towards the delicacies like a hungry tiger, not forgetting to flatter Fu Hua.

"Squad leader, you are so nice. You took me to eat so many delicious foods!" Desserts, fried chicken, seafood... countless foods were eaten in an instant, but Kiana had no intention of stopping. She continued to pick up food, ready to fill her stomach that was like a black hole.

"This one is delicious, this one is delicious too... Squad leader, why don't you eat?" Kiana, who had no manners as a foodie, was holding a roasted chicken and gnawing on it fiercely. But when she saw Fu Hua just taking a sip of juice and had no intention of starting to eat, she asked in confusion.

"...I'm not hungry, you eat first."

Looking at Kiana with oil drooling from her mouth, Fu Hua frowned and shook her head.

"Then I won't hold back!" Kiana continued to devour her food, seemingly oblivious to their original purpose in visiting the hotel. Why would Anti-Entropy deploy mechas in this hotel? What secrets were hidden here? Ignoring the noise Kiana's frantic eating made, Fu Hua rested her hand on her chin, thinking carefully. ... "Report on the restaurant's situation as scheduled. Has anyone who looks like a Valkyrie entered?" A voice from a black-clad figure's headset echoed from the shadows in the corner of the restaurant.

"Two girls did come in...but I promise you, they are definitely not the Valkyries of Destiny."

The man in black twitched his lips slightly as he watched Kiana's unrefined eating. If the Valkyrie of Destiny behaved like this, then Destiny's future was doomed.

Fu You, who was guarding outside the hotel, also met an unexpected guy at this moment.

"You guy... why are you here?" Looking at Siegfried who was drinking a bottle of wine in front of him, Fu You couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, I said I'm here to save the world, do you believe me?" Siegfried said seriously after joking with a grin.

"That Cocolia brought the Gem of Desire into this city and is planning to artificially destroy it and give rise to the Fourth Herrscher. It's only right and proper that I stop her."

"You are really well-informed."

Siegfried's point surprised Fu You a little. The other party's intelligence was indeed more flexible than his own.

"Don't underestimate my popularity. I have quite a few friends in Anti-Entropy, okay?" Siegfried raised his bangs to show off, feeling complacent. Then he looked at Fu You in confusion.

"By the way, what are you here for?" "Well, of course, just like you, to stop Cocolia's plan and protect the world..." Turning his head away, Fu You replied with a guilty conscience. Siegfried's reasons were so noble. If he said he was only here to protect Fu Hua and Kiana, wouldn't that put him at a disadvantage? "Haha, it seems our ideas coincide!" Siegfried laughed heartily without questioning him. With Fu You's participation, destroying Cocolia's plot was a piece of cake.

"You have to be careful. If you run into a monster like Yulandel again and get beaten up, no one will come to help you."

Considering the opponent's strength, Fu You gave a reminder.

"Come on, how can there be so many monsters like Yulandel in the world? Besides, Yulandel is still in Saint Freya, how could she come to Singapore!" Siegfried shook his head indifferently and made up his mind that this time in Singapore, he must show his strength and shock this guy Fuyou.

Chapter 163-Awakening

"Going to find the Valkyrie of Destiny's intelligence? Are you crazy, or am I?" Walking down the street, Fu You was stunned when he heard Siegfried's next move. As Destiny's most wanted criminal, Siegfried hadn't explained how he was hiding, and yet he was actually planning to find a Valkyrie codenamed "Ghost," even under the pretext of "getting intelligence." Fu You suddenly felt that Siegfried had something to do with Kiana's rebelliousness.

"That's not right. [Ghost] is an old acquaintance of mine. She won't tell Otto about me."

Siegfried smiled slyly, rubbed his hands excitedly, and tried to drag Fu You into the water as well.

"Besides, I heard that Ghost is now running a tavern. If we go there, we can even get some good drinks."

"Go by yourself. If you are reported, you will have to fight Youlan Dai'er alone."

Fu You showed no interest in Siegfried's suggestion. Instead, he poured a basin of cold water on it in an unpleasant manner.

"Hey! I'm not bragging. I have countless friends all over the world. If I fire a shot into the sky, countless people will immediately respond and rush to my location."

Seeing Fu You's distrustful look, Siegfried pointed at himself proudly and boasted to Fu You about his connections.

"...They are all here to arrest you, right?" Fu You said without giving Siegfried any face.

"Don't disbelieve me, I was also very charming in Destiny, right? Which Valkyrie would not be impressed by me when she saw me?" Siegfried spoke indignantly and shook his bangs narcissistically.

"Since you have such a good relationship with those Valkyries...so, the rumor circulating in Tianming that you have touched all the Valkyries in Tianming is true?" This time, Fu You did not rush to refute Siegfried. Instead, he asked, while jokingly looking at Siegfried's expression.

"In that case, does Cecilia know about this? I wouldn't mind telling her."

"Get out!" Hearing this, Siegfried cursed with a smile.

"Boom—" Before Fu You could reply, a roar suddenly erupted from the nearby Queen's Hotel. The upper half of the building collapsed, and shattered debris poured down. Immediately afterwards, a tremendous amount of collapse energy suddenly erupted.

"Well, are we still going to see that [ghost] now?" Looking at Siegfried, Fu You spoke slowly with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"...That bastard Cocolia actually took action!" Siegfried clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with rage. He couldn't imagine how many innocent civilians would die if Cocolia's planned artificial Honkai energy truly erupted. Something was wrong... Staring at the Queen Hotel from the side, Fu You pondered. While the noise there was immense, the magnitude of Honkai energy was nowhere near the level needed to cause a major Honkai. He was even certain that it wasn't caused by a riot caused by the Desire Gems. Furthermore, the aura emanating from that place gave Fu You a sense of familiarity.

"Come on, Siegfried, it's our turn to take action."

Patting Siegfried's shoulder from behind, Fu You took the lead and walked towards the Queen Hotel. Although Fu Hua was wearing the so-called God-killing armor, for the sake of safety, Fu You decided to continue to do it himself.

half an hour ago.

"Kiana, have you noticed? All the entrances and elevators of the hotel are controlled by those men in black. I suspect that there will be clues related to the Anti-Entropy plan on the upper floors of the Queen Hotel."
