Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

On the other side, Tianming and his group were trapped in a mechanism and separated.

"Why are we separated? Lady Rita? Lady Yulandel? Director Catherine?" After being separated, "Susanna" shouted anxiously, apparently having lost her composure.

"Be patient, Susanna. This is obviously a premeditated action... As for Director Catherine, she should have left by now, right?" Rita, who was so smart, immediately understood Catherine's betrayal.

"Rita, do you need me to break these mechanisms?" Yulandel's calm voice came from the other side.

"No, Master Youlandel, if we rashly destroy these mechanisms, it is very likely to lead to unexpected situations. At that time, we may be even more passive."

Although she knew about Yulandel's powerful strength, Rita decided to take a conservative approach considering that she had a B-level Valkyrie on her side.

"Well, then, it's up to you, Rita."

Yulandel agreed, speaking from across the stone wall. However, at that moment, two red lights suddenly lit up in the darkness behind Rita. Stan, completely oblivious to the changing situation, had already passed through the secret passage and quietly arrived behind Rita, who was still studying the mechanism.

"Huh? It's you..." Feeling something, Rita turned around suddenly, and when she saw Stan, her eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Meow——(Little girl, I let you run away last time, this time, you won't be so lucky!)" Seeing that he was discovered, Stan walked slowly over and looked at Rita provocatively.

Chapter 180 Cat

"Meow! (This time, you can't run away!)" Stopping a few steps away from Rita, the red light of the limiter on Stan's neck flashed, and the next moment, the ferocious cat-shaped Honkai beast rushed straight towards Rita.

"Fourth generation armor, start transmitting - Blue Knight Moon Soul!" With a shout, the temperature around Rita suddenly dropped a few degrees, and the blue and white Valkyrie armor immediately covered her whole body.

"Meow! (What a flashy guy who hasn't made any progress!)" Looking at the "defeated opponent" in front of him with disdain, Stan raised his palm and suddenly slapped Rita.

"I never thought such a powerful Honkai Beast would appear..." Rita sighed as she swung her scythe. Since the dragon-shaped Honkai Beast recorded during the Second Great Honkai, there hadn't been a Honkai Beast capable of rivaling an S-rank Valkyrie.

"Bang--" The sickle and the claw collided fiercely. The noise caused by the battle between the two caused the surrounding rock walls to shake.

"Rita, what's going on there?!" Youlandai immediately realized that something was wrong. Now, she didn't care about the possible impact of destroying the mechanism, and punched the stone wall in front of her.

"It's just a Honkai beast. There's no need to worry, Master Yulandel..." Having narrowly avoided Stan's lunge, Rita barely finished her words when the stone wall behind her exploded. Debris flew everywhere, and under the stunned gazes of Rita and Stan, a dazzling figure with blond hair suddenly burst out from the cave entrance.

"I'm glad you're okay...Rita."

Looking at Rita who was on high alert, Yulandel breathed a sigh of relief.

"Meow—" (Little girl, you're just in time! I'll use you to test the results of my devilish training!)" Quickly recovering, Stan rushed forward instead of retreating, heading towards Yulandel. Yulandel remained calm upon seeing this, simply raising her hand slightly.

"Bang—" Before Stan could react, his body was slammed against the wall, and cracks appeared on the collar's limiter. The next moment, he felt the world turn upside down. Stan's transformation was instantly undone, and his small body fell from mid-air, lying helplessly on the ground.

"Mmmmm... (What...what happened?)" Just a few seconds ago, he and Rita had been fighting to a draw, but in a split second, with the appearance of the blonde girl, everything changed. He was being utterly crushed, his opponent's terrifying strength mocking his wishful thinking. The disparity was so great that it was hard for Stan to accept it.

"Meow... (Am I going to die here today? No, I won't accept that...)" Stan raised his head with difficulty, looking up at Yulandel, who was a demon in his eyes, and his heart was completely broken. Animal instinct made Stan's hair stand on end, and his tail couldn't help but stiffen.

"Is this the artificial Honkai Beast? It's quite cute..." Holding her chin, Yulandel's eyes showed a strange look. But seeing Stan looking at her with great vigilance, as if remembering some unbearable past, Yulandel suppressed her restless heart. And at this moment, seeing a hint of loss in Yulandel's eyes, Stan immediately caught a glimmer of hope. As an extremely perceptive warrior, observing words and expressions and judging the situation are all essential qualities for Stan. And in the face of the pressure of survival, Stan resolutely chose - to act cute to gain sympathy! "Meow--" In Yulandel's confused eyes, Stan suddenly turned sideways, his belly rising and falling gently with his breathing, and his four paws flapping constantly, looking like a cute pet.

"This is..." With a hint of disbelief in her surprise, Yulandel slowly stretched out her hand, but still looked a little hesitant.

"Meow--" Seeing that the other party was hesitant, Stan clamped his throat and tried to gain Yulandel's sympathy.

"Wow!" Seeing this, Yulandel's eyes lit up. She gave up thinking and was instantly immersed in it. She squatted down involuntarily and stroked Stan, who was sweating profusely.

"..." Looking at Stan, who was acting like a spoiled child in Yulandel's arms, Rita's face darkened, and her fists clenched involuntarily. Even when she had been injured by Stan, Rita had never felt this angry. This evil Honkai beast must not be allowed to remain with Lady Yulandel, Rita thought.

"Lady Yulandel..." "Rita, it wants to go home with me!" Without waiting for Rita to speak, Yulandel picked up Stan, who had given up struggling, and looked at Rita happily.

"I can have my own cat too!" "Lord Yulandel, this is just an evil Honkai beast in disguise, but it doesn't matter, just let Rita deal with it for you!" Rita said softly with a gentle tone, gracefully drawing out the sickle.

"This time, I will definitely solve it as quickly as possible."

"Meow! (Who's afraid of who? Do you think I can't beat you?!)" Stan was equally unwilling to be outdone and bared his teeth at Rita, while the latter frowned and tightened her grip on the sickle.

"Rita, put down your sickle first, put it down..." Yulandel tried to comfort Rita, but she didn't know where to start. Oh, right? Why not just put the blame on the Bishop and check the caliber later? An idea suddenly struck the blonde girl.

"Actually, the Bishop mentioned earlier that he would bring back the World Serpent's man-made Honkai Beast..." Glancing away guiltily, Yulandel didn't realize she had absolutely no talent for lying. When it came to lying, both Otto and Fuyou completely outclassed the naive Yulandel.

"Oh? Since it's the Bishop's order, it's not impossible to take it with you."

Pretending not to see through it, Rita put down the sickle thoughtfully.

"Meow... (Huh, I survived...)" Stan sighed deeply and continued to meow flatteringly, making Yulandel let go of her serious burden for the first time in a long time.

"Hiss...it's really unbearable to watch."

Fu You, who had been observing from the shadows since leaving the Gray Snake, could only cover his face in frustration upon seeing this scene. Fu You didn't know why Stan could be so...flexible. But he was definitely living better with Yulandel than with the World Serpent, and with that thought, Fu You felt relieved.

"Bella is still reassuring... I'm sure under Cheng Lixue's guidance, she and Xilin will make rapid progress, right?" Thinking that there were still more Honkai Beasts to come, Fu You's anxiety eased a bit. ...At this moment, on Taixu Mountain, Xilin and Bella, whom Fu You had high hopes for, huddled together, whispering.

"Your Majesty, is this really okay?" Bella couldn't help but ask, looking at Xilin with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, I have secret information. Fu You definitely can't come back now. Master Cheng Lixue won't blame us for this!" Xilin spoke carelessly with a cunning look on her face.

"Hehe, Fu You would never have thought that because of those stories about Master Cheng Lixue's master in the game, Master Cheng Lixue was also dragged into this by me!" "Now, whether it is Aurora and the others, or Master Cheng Lixue, all of Taixu Mountain are my people. Even if Fu You comes to check in person, he can't find any clues. Just have fun with peace of mind, Bella!" Patting Bella's shoulder, Xilin laughed wildly.

Chapter 181 Small is also very cute

"Recover from your injuries, Cleo. The World Serpent still needs you."

Watching the jackal's vital signs gradually return to normal, the gray snake spoke slowly.

"Damn it, it's not over yet... Catherine betrayed the snake, I must make her pay the price!" Slowly waking up, the Jackal clenched his fists in anger.

"That bastard must have turned to fate... a traitor..." He was clearly planning to kill Catherine to prevent the secret from being leaked, but he didn't expect the other party to take action first.

"The Valkyrie of Destiny hasn't gone far yet, right? We can still send troops to encircle and suppress them. Besides, Raven is already hiding in the dark with the Third God Key..." "No, let Raven retreat with the Third God Key."

Before the jackal could finish his words, he was interrupted by the gray snake.

"As a kind reminder, this is the end of the London business."

Looking at the jackal who still had a hint of reluctance, the gray snake shook his head.

"At this point, no matter how much effort we put into this place, it's meaningless."

"...Is it really impossible to defeat that destined Valkyrie, Yulandel?!" The Jackal felt a little annoyed about this.

"It's unfortunate, but it's indeed difficult for Snake to defeat her head-on in her current state. However, the reason isn't solely due to this. After all, there are other factors involved. Therefore, giving up London is a wise choice."

The Gray Snake is very open-minded. The gain or loss of a certain divine key will not affect the final plan of the World Snake.

"What about the Second Divine Key? Even if it is stored in a place no one would expect, and the Lord has protected it, it is very safe..." On the hospital bed, the Jackal was still arguing.

"But if we do nothing about the actions of Heaven's Will, then what is the point of the World Serpent's existence?" "The World Serpent's significance does not lie in the gain or loss of a single Divine Key. Once the Lord returns, the power of the Divine Key will become insignificant."

A red light flashed in his eyes, and the gray snake said in a deep voice.

"You mean..." Hearing this, the Jackal suddenly paused, his voice trembling, with a hint of disbelief in his surprise.

"I've secretly contacted Kokolia, the executor of Anti-Entropy. Get ready. The [Snake] needs to shift its focus."

"As for the Second God's Key... The Lord once used one percent of his own power to create a replica. His will will crush all beings who dare to lay their hands on the Second God's Key."

"The Second God's Key... found it!" Fu You looked towards the sky above the Thames. His perception could cover the entire sky above London, but a barrier blocked his view. If the World Serpent hadn't hidden another treasure in this place, then the Second God's Key must be there.

"There's an old saying in Shenzhou: 'There's no silver here, but your negligence has saved me a lot of trouble."

With a slight smile, Fu You stretched out his hand towards the direction of the barrier.

"Boom—" Suddenly, a blinding beam of light ripped through the stagnant air, illuminating the entire sky above the Thames. The next moment, with a slow, unbearable "crack" sound, the concealing barrier shattered, revealing the Second Divine Key.

"A...train?" Fu You was slightly startled upon seeing this. Such a huge God's Key, does it mean that he has to swallow it and then take it back? And why is the God's Key designed in the shape of a train? When these questions were still lingering in Fu You's mind, the next moment, Fu You felt as if he was locked by some existence. Feeling something, Fu You slightly dodged backwards, and in an instant, a ray of flame passed close to his body. Looking solemnly into the distance, when he saw the enemy's appearance clearly, Fu You's expression became strange. White hair, blue eyes, wearing a black cloak, and holding a flaming sword in his hand - however, just like the ice cream cone-sized Holy Fire Judge in the opponent's hand, the opponent's body seemed to have shrunk proportionally. Fu You even doubted whether this guy could hit his knees if he jumped. But if you put aside the opponent's small height, it should still be very oppressive.

"...Is this an armed puppet based on that person?" Looking at the puppet before him, Fu You couldn't help but recall Fu Hua's memories he'd once read. Kevin Kaslana, the breathtakingly powerful hero who had shut down the Herrscher of the End for twelve hours during the previous civilization's End War. Kevin's puppet was a ruthless and quiet man. Upon spotting Fu You, he charged without hesitation.

"Whoosh——" The scorching flames swept over, and the surrounding blocks turned into ruins in an instant. People screamed and fled, it was a scene of doomsday.

"Okay, I admit you're more of a villain than me."

Seeing Kevin's puppet continue its attack regardless, Fu You curled his lips and quickly condensed a ball of black ice emitting a chilling aura in his palm. The next moment, the pitch-black ice was hurled violently, instantly dissipating the sky's flames. At the same time, the aftermath of the battle between the two completely destroyed the city below.

"Strange! This little thing is clearly no match for me, yet why does it give me such a strong sense of danger?" Fu You muttered, suppressing the offensive of Kevin's puppet. Fu You was puzzled. Logically, this puppet was powerful enough to defeat Siegfried and his ilk, but it certainly didn't reach the level of danger that Yulandel had brought to him. Yet, his own perception kept warning him that if he continued to fight this puppet, his life might be in danger.

"Heavenly Fire, unsheathe!" Seeing that he couldn't defeat the opponent, Kevin's eyes became stern, and the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire chopped down fiercely.

"That's all..." Fu You narrowed his eyes, watching the attack. While powerful, it wasn't nearly enough to threaten him. No, that wasn't its killer move! Quickly sweeping aside the blazing flames, Fu You looked ahead, his pupils narrowing. Unbeknownst to him, Kevin, taking advantage of the distraction of the flames, slashed the "Heavenly Fire Judgment" into the void. Instantly, space was ripped open, revealing a desolate scene within. Chaos, disorder, emptiness... And at that moment, Fu You's inner sense of crisis reached its peak.

"This...the quantum sea!" After witnessing the scene that he had only seen in the information, Fu You retreated violently.

"Damn it..." Seeing this, Fu You's face turned grim. He finally understood why he was constantly feeling a sense of crisis. He had no way to freely enter or exit the Quantum Sea! If he fell there, even he would be trapped and killed. The Second God Key wasn't something he absolutely had to obtain, not to mention the possibility of losing himself in the process... After weighing the pros and cons, Fu You immediately decided to leave.

"I hate these weird powers..." Fu You cursed as he ran away. Fu You swore that this was the first time he had been humiliated since the Red Kite Immortal had backstabbed him.

P.S.: It’s the last few weeks of the final semester, so updates may be a little slow. Those who understand will understand (this is what happens when you don’t study hard in college)

Chapter 182 The vacation is over

Faced with Kevin's doll, who was desperately trying to open the entrance to the Quantum Sea with all his might, intending to perish with him, Fu You immediately chose to avoid its attack. What a joke! It's just a divine key, is it really necessary to gamble your life on it? With this thought, Fu You's figure had already left the Thames and rushed towards the outside of London without hesitation, fearing that it would be too late. Beside the entrance to the Quantum Sea, Kevin's doll just stood there, not continuing to chase Fu You. It had been here guarding the Second God's Key for a long time, but the high-intensity battle, coupled with the forced opening of the entrance to the Quantum Sea, had left its internal energy very little. At this moment, Kevin the doll had completed its mission of guarding the Second God's Key, and at the same time, it had almost lost the ability to move.

"No matter the cost, humanity will triumph over the Honkai..." Kevin the puppet gazed into the depths of the Quantum Ocean, his thoughts unseen. With his final words, Kevin's gaze dimmed. His entire body, like a kite with its string cut, clutched the replica of the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, and fell upon the Second Divine Key, the very being he had been protecting. The [Thousand Worlds One Vehicle], the Divine Key capable of observing countless worlds, was also not spared, slowly sinking into the Quantum Ocean. However, just as the passage opened by Kevin the puppet was about to close, a blond figure resolutely rushed in, and the next moment, the entrance closed instantly.

"Lady Rita! Lady Yulandel..." "Susanna" who followed closely behind showed horror on her face, and looked at Rita beside her in a panic.

"Don't worry, Lady Youlandel will return safely."

Despite her composure, Rita stared intently at the direction where Yulandel had vanished, a hint of worry in her eyes. True, after a fantastical adventure long ago, Yulandel had gained the power to move freely in the Quantum Ocean, but that state couldn't be maintained for long. Rita had every confidence in Yulandel, but as her closest friend, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"If it can only last three minutes... Lord Yulandel, it's still too risky."

With a sigh, Rita muttered to herself.

"But three minutes is enough, isn't it?" A crisp voice came from behind Rita, Stan and "Susanna". The blonde girl had left the Quantum Sea at some point.

"Lady Yulandel...what are you doing?" Looking at Yulandel's posture at the moment, "Susanna" was speechless.

"Hmm? Is there any problem?" Holding up [Thousand Worlds One Vehicle] in one hand and holding the Kevin doll in the other, Yulandel tilted her head, revealing a hint of confusion.

"Nothing, Master Yulandel, welcome back."

Hearing this, Rita walked forward and spoke with a smile.

"Meow... (Too, too strong...)" Stunned, Stan swooned over Yulandel. If his earlier submission to Yulandel had been somewhat reluctant, now Stan was completely captivated by her. ...It was because of her charisma, truly.

"I found this on the Second God Key. It seems to be an armed puppet from a previous civilization. It is said that they are very powerful."

Yulandel seemed very interested as she shook the little Kevin who had turned off his phone in her hand.

"When we get back, ask the bishop to help repair it. Maybe it can become a good training partner?" "This... is really your style."
