Honkai Impact 3rd, what should an ordinary player do at the start?

Even with Gray Serpent's age and experience, he has indeed not seen many Stigmata holders to this day, let alone male versions.

It's important to know that even among the World Serpent's executives, not everyone possesses a Stigmata. Even the strongest warrior currently—Raven—derives its power from the Sariat family's Stigmata during the Second Honkai Impact.

In the future, any ordinary male cyborg with extremely poor resistance to Honkai energy, who needs mechanical modifications to barely survive, can become a cadre.

Like the other two major organizations, World Serpent is facing a severe shortage of personnel and a lack of experienced leaders.

A completely original stigma holder like this.

It also carries the Key of God.

Gray Snake even completely put aside a lot of his work and came over in person.

“Of course I know my rarity and importance; after all, I have a good teacher.” Jiang Cheng’s fingertips rubbed against the scabbard. “Inside the blade.”

【What's the meaning? 】

The sound of erosion followed, as if it were constantly watching the outside world, although the only response she received was Jiang Cheng's even more complete silence.

[Foresight... Damn it, that skirt is only 30 years old! (9) (5); the ability of the skirt.]

[Give me the chance, I'll definitely beat them all up!]

The boy remained unmoved.

The agreement has not yet been broken.

As long as the Herrscher of Corruption—Rin—still dreams of taking revenge on Aponia one day, she has no choice but to submit to everything.

In this respect, we should even thank Aponia. If it weren't for her prophetic abilities in the previous civilization that were so powerful that everyone would subconsciously think of that commandment whenever they thought of foresight, the Corruption probably wouldn't have been so obedient just because of its foresight.

of course.

It is also his ability/memory.

"Let's go quickly, I don't want to waste time here."

"No matter what necessary checks you have to do, it's still better than staying in this godforsaken place."

……

……

Faced with the sudden appearance of gold ingots and such eagerness, Gray Snake responded immediately, making an inviting gesture towards the plane's cabin door.

"Please come in, Mr. Jiang Cheng."

"I wouldn't dare keep you waiting outside."

Whether it was posture, etiquette, or attitude, everything was displayed to the extreme beneath those words that should have been as cold and impersonal as a machine.

The gray snake stood motionless like a statue, not moving until the boy stepped into the plane's cabin.

But in the very last moment, just before the plane was about to take off, he still mentioned it almost casually—

“Mr. Jiang Cheng, you’ve been in Changkong City for so long, I wonder if you have any information about this Lawyer?”

"No."

Suppressing his emotions and the exclamation he wanted to utter—the unimaginable level of science fiction on the plane was a product that combined all the coolest elements a normal man could imagine, and there was even a cup of hot coffee on the table next to his seat—Jiang Cheng, trying his best not to appear like a country bumpkin, responded immediately.

"I wouldn't dare have any contact with the Herrscher of Thunder. You don't expect me, a human, to fight a monster, do you?"

"Even if I were physically stronger and had higher combat power, I could never reach the level of such a godlike being."

In order to sever any possibility of intersecting with the plot, Jiang Cheng even raised his right hand, which was now only a shoulder, without hesitation, showing off the empty cuff.

"I've even lost my right hand."

Faced with the boy's attempt to gain sympathy, Gray Snake showed him the utmost respect without hesitation and apologized immediately.

"Feel sorry."

"But you don't need to worry about the World Serpent, it has the ability to make you grow a better hand than before."

"in addition……"

"Are you really not in any contact with the Lawyer? / Flag / (II) 彡 Slippery Paint?"

what happened?

Is Gray Snake really that lacking in emotional intelligence?

I've already pointed to my hand and played the victim, so why are you still bringing up Mei's story over and over again?

Jiang Cheng's expression was initially somewhat dissatisfied, even beginning to doubt whether choosing the World Serpent option was a wise one. Until, to reassure himself that the die was cast, he looked out the window—

In an instant, those cherry-colored eyes trembled violently.

what……

what? !

……

……

Why this happened—thinking about it at this point is pointless.

Because no matter what, the lightning has already struck, and even after much deliberation, they have indeed found a flaw in the best solution they discussed with Bronya.

What's done is done, and there's no way to fix it now, no way to fill the gaps, and no way to stop the thunderstorm.

Yes.

thunderstorm.

Even adjectives like thunder or natural disasters are simply insufficient to describe what can be seen through the glass.

The sky was torn apart—

The sky, originally shrouded in dark, deep clouds, which should have burst forth with endless, dark lightning along with the birth of the Herrscher of Thunder, was cleanly and decisively torn in two by lightning, as if by divine judgment, at the very edge of the sky visible from the plane.

It was as if a god had raised a huge and incredibly sharp pair of scissors and cleanly and neatly cut the sky in one stroke, leaving a flat cross-section so smooth that one could see right up to the end of the clouds.

--Violence.

Although both were lightning bolts, the lightning in the surrounding clouds was ruthlessly destroyed and shattered by that single bolt.

--powerful.

The dazzling brilliance was so captivating that it immediately drew the eye.

Just looking at it was dazzling, and my eyes felt like they were being burned. The excessive heat and the sparks that flew between the thunderclaps were beyond description as light pollution. The endless brilliance that sizzled as it passed even formed a solid-like sharpness in the form of energy, like a meteor piercing through the other half of the sky that had been torn apart.

If we were to represent a single form of energy as purple, then the energy contained in this attack would be almost black.

Even the gray snake had fallen completely silent, unable to utter a single word, and could only stare at the aircraft's display screen with its eerie green monitor.

Natural phenomena and natural disasters beyond human control are manipulated by authority and Honkai energy, creating the greatest despair, akin to a divine miracle.

The original thunderstorm was already strong enough to warrant large-scale evacuation of residents, but after being amplified, its aggressiveness and danger have increased by more than one level.

This is something that ordinary humans cannot achieve; only geniuses who are equally supernatural and surpass the level of humans, given enough time, can possibly reach it.

However, now, this powerful figure from the previous generation, along with the warriors who could maintain the world's operation, has been wiped out by Otto in one fell swoop.

Ruined.

This was Gray Serpent's first thought.

It's no longer just a matter of the miracle behind us failing to protect us; it's a question of whether human civilization could be completely destroyed in this attack.

The degree of completion of this authority.

This strength.

If we were to express it in terms of will, the general Herrscher's will is loose, following the actions of a machine. But the Herrscher following behind at this moment has a will that has already been awakened and put into practice, surpassing the other Herrschers in both intensity and breadth.

Perhaps the enemy wasn't hopeless, and their combat power wasn't so great that they were invincible. The words of the Grey Serpent could have mentioned quite a few people who were capable of fighting against the Herrscher of Thunder... in the past.

No.

The key point is that there isn't a single one.

There are none left in this era.

For the first time, he regretted why he had hidden in the shadows and allowed Otto, a man who was obviously mentally ill, to dominate humanity.

During the first Honkai Impact 3rd, due to other commitments, she was unable to protect Joyce, resulting in the death of a Herrscher who was born to fight for humanity, much like the first Herrscher to appear, Alicia, and the first Herrscher of this civilization willing to fight for humanity. Joyce was dragged down and killed by bombing the city with missiles.

He should have used all his resources at that time. He should have just killed Otto directly.

We should have realized back then that Otto was a jerk!

How can we drag this out until the second Honkai Impact period?

How can we drag this out until they've already sent away the Second Acting Herrscher, the Lord's outstanding descendant—Siegfried, Cecilia, and the Lord Hua—all at once?

How could anyone possibly defeat this Herrscher now?

There is absolutely no one who can stand against this Herrscher.

Even if all of humanity were combined, there wouldn't be anyone who could rival this Herrscher.

Those ordinary people may seem numerous, but in reality, even if hundreds of billions of them went up together, it would only be enough for the Herrscher to make a few more cuts, or even not at all. They would be wiped out in one wave of chaos, instead becoming a cradle for the appearance of Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors.

The key point is the strong – there are no strong people to speak of in this era. There is not a single person capable of taking on the overall situation. Even Raven only uses the mild fusion warrior surgery, and its combat power is simply no match for the Herrscher.

While the power of the Divine Keys is indeed formidable, it depends on the user. The Seven Lightning Bolts of Purification, which are best suited for assassination, cannot be used against other Herrschers of Thunder.

Feathered Rabbit...

Can Yu Tu defeat him?

Can the current Quetzalcoatl deal with the Herrscher of Thunder?

Can the Stigmata Project accept such a halt? Won't this trigger a chain reaction and lead to even more devastating consequences?

Gray Serpent's head was practically steaming as he racked his brains to think of all the remaining, usable combat forces still alive at this time.

While we don't expect to defeat a Herrscher one-on-one, at least we can pool our resources to give us a chance of survival and maximize the chances of preventing the sudden demise of human civilization.

"Mr. Jiang Cheng".

"I will use a rescue pod to drop you into a nearby location. If you're lucky, you'll probably survive."

"This battle is not for you. You are not yet fully grown, and a male Saint Mark warrior should not be used for this kind of thing. So you should..."

The urgent request went unanswered.

The boy on the screen remained unmoved.

The future pillar of humanity, who could perfectly use the Divine Key, forge the Herrscher of Corruption sealed in the box into a Divine Key, and possess original Stigmata, remained unmoved.

Silent, utterly silent—the boy sat there listlessly, utterly dejected.

"It's not necessary anymore."

"I can't beat him..."

So why not run?

Gray Serpent was ready to administer the anesthetic. The screen on the command console showed that the seriousness and coldness that had been in those cherry-colored pupils had been completely swept away, as if a mask had been removed from his face. In its place, the true nature that was finally revealed was one of exhaustion, as if he hadn't slept for three days and three nights.

"Can't run away."

"--I."

The moment the last word fell, a piercing explosion rang out, almost shattering eardrums, and everything in sight was rapidly zoomed out.

The eyes opened and closed, a fleeting moment of extreme slowness.

Jiang Cheng saw the world spinning before his eyes.

I saw the hot coffee on the table fly up into the sky, the liquid rising even faster than the steam.

The special alloy that enveloped the cabin was suddenly covered by a layer of flashing lightning in front of him, twisting, deforming, and finally turning into fragments that flew down.

The overcast sky reappeared before my eyes, no longer the terrifying scene seen through the glass window, but directly facing the sky full of dark clouds, with thunder and lightning—although the dark clouds were torn apart in an instant, as if ripped apart by a god with a knife, and I could even clearly see the different features of the cross-section and the thickness of the cloud layer.

ended.

As Jiang Cheng watched the futuristic-looking plane disintegrate before his eyes, the wind blew him up, and he saw the lightning flashing in the sky, and in the center of the faint lightning, a figure as magnificent as a god.

——Raiden Mei.

The figure is so obvious that you can guess it without even thinking about it.
