People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

The girl who rules the sky...

And the roars of Honkai Beasts.

All of this is foreshadowing one thing.

The Fourth Honkai Impact – is here!

Chapter 124 Promises made don't need to be kept.

The headquarters of Destiny is located on a floating island.

In the makeshift operations command office, staff were frantically busy at their consoles. One operator approached the bishop and reported, "Bishop Otto, a large-scale Honkai energy reaction has been discovered in New Zealand in the Atlantic Ocean. Now, Honkai phenomena are appearing all over the world. It can be confirmed that the Fourth Herrscher has been born?"

A man with long blond hair and a face even more handsome than a young girl sat in the central commander's seat, carefully observing the unusual Honkai energy fluctuations on the New Zealand map.

"Amber, how much intelligence about the Herrschers has the satellite reconnaissance department gathered?"

Upon hearing Bishop Otto's words, the silver-haired girl leaned closer and said, "According to intelligence obtained by the reconnaissance department through satellite detection, this awakened Herrscher possesses the ability to manipulate wind and ocean currents, similar to the Herrscher of Wind from the previous civilization. It is preliminarily determined that she has the ability to create ideal fluids. As for... her human identity before awakening, we are still investigating."

Upon hearing this, Bishop Otto frowned slightly and said with some displeasure, "Why can't we even detect the human identity of a Herrscher yet?"

“Your Excellency, please forgive my incompetence.” Amber bowed her head and apologized, then continued, “The Herrscher of Wind possesses the power to manipulate the atmosphere. She seems to know about Schicksal’s satellite detection, so she blocked the satellite reconnaissance by manipulating the atmosphere.”

Otto had a face as beautiful as a girl's, but his expression was quite unpleasant at the moment. He rested his hands on his chin and said with some helplessness, "The power of the Herrscher is indeed not to be underestimated. Immediately dispatch a reconnaissance team and the Undying Blade to the New Zealand base."

“Once we detect the Herrscher of the Wind…” Otto’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he said in a cold voice, “we will immediately have the Undying Blade kill the Herrscher of the Wind and retrieve the Herrscher’s core.”

"Yes!"

Amber said respectfully.

“Oh, right…” Otto seemed to have thought of something and said, “Remember to call Rita. Now that Durandal is gone, she’s the only one left who can fight the Herrscher.”

“Okay.” Amber had no doubt about Otto’s order, but her expression turned melancholy: “It’s just that… Miss Rita has been worried about Miss Durandal’s condition these past few days and her combat condition has not been good.”

Otto understood Rita's longing for her best friend, but he had no intention of canceling her appointment. He continued, "Not long ago, I received news that Durandal was at the New Zealand base. If she goes there now, she might still be able to fight alongside her best friend."

Amber remained expressionless, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Durandal is truly a genius. She actually arrived at the Herrscher of Wind's location ahead of time. It seems that not only is her life safe, but she is also dedicated to fighting the Honkai as before."

"A brilliant strategy?"

Otto's expression darkened: "I'm afraid someone else is secretly plotting to drag her into this conflict. To avoid adding unnecessary complications, I've already sent someone to bring her back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Otto instructed Amber to relay his orders, dispatching the reconnaissance team and the Undying Blade. He then looked at the unusual energy fluctuations on the screen and said, "You orchestrated all of this, didn't you... Jojo, is your target this time... the core of the Herrscher of Wind?"

Otto smiled slightly: "Only you in this world can manipulate my most prized disciple and a Herrscher so easily..."

.....

.....

Atlantic Ocean, New Zealand.

Standing atop the industrial tower high above the base, Qiao Qiao looked up at Wendy, who was being protected by Qian Feng like a cicada pupa. His expression was complicated. He had originally intended to keep the Gem of Desire within his body, hoping that with his talent, he might be able to completely transform her into a Herrscher core.

Unexpectedly, the connection between the Desire Gem and Wendy was so close that she easily took it back. Not only that, but due to a momentary loss of emotional control, she triggered the Fourth Honkai and became the Herrscher of Wind.

Honestly, Wendy truly deserves her reputation as a Valkyrie, second only to overpowered characters like Durandal, Kiana, and Rita.

A blue phantom appeared beside Qiao Qiao and whispered, "Haha... Wendy became the Herrscher of Wind to protect you. It was all part of your plan."

Upon hearing the Honkai consciousness's words, JoJo said expressionlessly, "Hmm... the time is ripe, and Wendy has long since sworn allegiance to me. Hurry up and prepare to connect to Wendy's Herrscher Core. I must seize the Herrscher Core!"

The Honkai Consciousness shushed him, somewhat disappointed. He had thought that Wendy would feel guilty for becoming a Herrscher because of him, but he didn't expect him to act as indifferent as a scumbag who had toyed with the emotions of many women.

"Jojo..." the Honkai consciousness said with a hint of malice, "It seems you're becoming more and more like a... ruthless villain..."

On the other side of the battlefield, Raven and Durandal were fighting against the five Valkyries sent by Otto. They had just finished dealing with them, captured them with the World Serpent's restraint device, and thrown them into the Destiny warship.

Raven was looking at the operating instructions while trying to control the Destiny's warship.

"Raven, do you even know how to pilot a Destiny battleship?"

Hearing Durandal's urging, Raven said impatiently, "Yes, yes, yes, we Serpents are no match for the elite Valkyries of Schicksal. We can't pilot warships, let alone win the hearts of men like Jojo."

Raven's words immediately enraged Durandal: "I didn't deliberately seduce him, he just came to me on his own!"

Raven glared at her fiercely and said, "I know you're slim and beautiful, and any man would be hard-pressed to resist your pats. There's no need to emphasize that anymore."

Durandal wanted to refute but couldn't say a word, because although she liked Jojo, Jojo did have a problem with lust.

Could it be... that when Qiaoqiao said she liked me, she only liked my looks?

Durandal felt very uncomfortable when the ravens mistook her for the woman who seduced Jojo. In a fight, ten ravens wouldn't be a match for Durandal.

But when it comes to being sarcastic and unsettling, ten Durandals wouldn't stand a chance against Raven.

"Ugh... Rita, are you doing alright in Schicksal now?"

Just as Durandal was reminiscing about her dearest friend Rita, the sky suddenly changed, the ground trembled violently, and cracks of all sizes tore open in space, from which countless Honkai Beasts emerged, roaring.

Just then, Raven finally started the engines of the Destiny Battleship, but the entire ship shuddered. When she looked up, she saw a Herrscher with blue wings floating in mid-air. She couldn't help but recall her childhood in Siberia, when a god as beautiful as her, like an angel, had destroyed her homeland.

At that time, a Valkyrie of destiny sacrificed herself to save the raven's life.

In Raven's memory, the pure white petals formed from that person's blood were as gentle as fine snow, suggesting that the person herself was also a gentle woman.

She was worlds apart from the strongest Valkyrie beside him, who was destined for slaughter.

"Hey! The strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, hurry up and figure out a way to deal with that Herrscher in the sky!"

Durandal held a pure white spear in her hand and killed all the Honkai Beasts that appeared. Standing on the mountain of their corpses, she looked at the Herrscher of Wind in mid-air.

Then, turning to Raven, he said, "Although you're one of World Serpent's people, you're quite capable. Come help me deal with this Herrscher!"

Raven rolled her eyes at Durandal with disdain and said, "I'd be willing to help Jojo, since he's got plenty of money. But why would I do something as dangerous as fighting a Herrscher without paying me? To earn credit for your Valkyries and buy them sports cars?"

"Slip away!"

With that, Raven steered the Destiny warship away, taking the five Valkyries bound aboard with him.

Durandal was speechless when she saw Raven run away. Although she had long known that the people of the World Serpent were no good, Raven had truly broadened her horizons.

This collapse will affect the whole world, and in the face of such a disaster, he has no empathy whatsoever, only thinking about protecting himself.

I really hope that one day, Honkai will teach Raven a lesson.

If I made her suffer unbearable pain once, she would know the terror of collapse.

Durandal silently complained about Raven in her heart, but she didn't condemn Raven for too long, after all, this was Schicksal's territory.

As the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, protecting the Schicksal base, killing Herrschers, and fighting against the Honkai are Durandal's inescapable responsibilities.

In an instant, Durandal, clad in Godslayer Armor, unfurled her blazing blue wings, gripped her lance, and charged toward the Herrscher of Wind in the sky like a shooting star flying in reverse.

When Qiao Qiao saw Durandal holding the Black Abyss White Flower and looking like she wanted to kill Wendy, she was immediately startled. Then, three options appeared in front of her.

[Option 1: Rush forward and stand in front of Wendy, sneering at Durandal, "Hahaha, now that the Herrscher of Wind has awakened, Durandal, you are of no use to me anymore. Disappear from this world!"]

Option 2: Help Durandal kill the Herrscher of the Wind, then kneel before her on one knee and say humbly and sincerely, "My esteemed Lady Durandal, I am willing to kill anyone for you. Please reward me!"

[Option 3: Hug Durandal from behind and say tenderly, "Durandal, obtaining the core of the Herrscher of Wind is my lifelong wish. After we get it, let's elope together and stay together forever, okay?"]

If JoJo were to confront Durandal directly in battle, she might not be able to win.

The second person to directly offer his loyalty to Durandal seems too unlike a villain.

The third one... getting the Herrscher core and then living happily ever after with Durandal? Isn't that just blatant empty promises?

This option seems pretty good...

It's just empty promises anyway; they don't necessarily have to deliver.

Chapter 125 Durandal: Jojo, how did you become so silly? (4k)

The New Zealand base, and indeed the entire civilization of Earth, is now facing annihilation due to the appearance of the Wind Herrscher.

The sky was filled with turbulent clouds and waves, and a huge whirlpool was churning on the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Four towering waterspouts, as tall as mountains, reached into the sky and crushed all life on land, sea and air like a shredder, slowly moving towards New Zealand.

Once these four waterspouts successfully make landfall, not only will the Destiny Base be submerged, but the entirety of New Zealand will be swallowed by the sea and become underwater ruins.

The instigator of all this, Wendy, was floating in mid-air. Her pretty and lovely face was no longer the obedient and docile one she used to be with Jojo. Instead, she was laughing wildly.

"I want to see these despicable humans destroyed with my own eyes!"

In the blink of an eye, Wendy seemed to have a dual personality, and her entire demeanor became as calm as still water.

"No...you can't hurt Brother Xiao Qiao!"

Wendy suddenly became violent again, shouting angrily, "Shut up! There's no good person in this world. He's only approaching you for ulterior motives."

Even if Brother Xiao Qiao has ulterior motives towards me, I don't care... I'm willing to do anything for him.

Hearing the voice of self-awareness, the Herrscher personality muttered angrily, "You're hopeless. I'll just kill all of humanity and spare that little Qiao brother you care about."

Deep within the core of the Herrscher, Wendy's legs, hands, and abdomen were firmly bound by hard chains. In the end, she could not resist the temptation of the Honkai consciousness and embarked on this path of no return. Although she had completely lost her freedom and let the Herrscher personality take her place to destroy, she felt very happy inside.

"Brother Qiao... as long as I can protect you, I'd be willing to kill countless people..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wendy, deep within the core, closed her eyes, a single crystal tear falling from the corner of her eye: "Farewell, Brother Xiao Qiao."

Meanwhile, in the outside world, Wendy clenched her fists, her whole body shuddering as she unleashed a powerful gale. Thousands of gusts of wind, like whips, crashed down on the ground, shearing off mountains and severing rivers. The entire New Zealand region shook violently, its terrain instantly altered. Countless people screamed in desperation, trying to escape, but being situated in the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by water, they were like caged birds with nowhere to run. Those driven to desperation could only jump into the water like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, but even in the vast ocean, they still faced certain death.

Durandal wore the Godslayer Armor, and fiery blue wings of light erupted from her back as she dodged the oncoming wind blades one after another.

At the same time, Wendy also noticed Durandal's figure, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. When she was a Valkyrie in St. Freya, her biggest dream was to become an S-rank Valkyrie like Durandal.

But now Wendy has become the villain she used to hate the most—the Herrscher.

She will be hunted down by Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent all over the world, and her dream of becoming an S-class Valkyrie will be shattered.

But now she felt that she had touched her dream. If she was stronger than Durandal, wouldn't she be the strongest Valkyrie in the world?

"Durandal, let me see the difference in power between us!"

A sky-blue longbow appeared in Wendy's hand. She drew back the bowstring with her fingers, and a thousand winds, shimmering with a faint blue light, condensed into an arrow on the bowstring.

The moment Wendy released the bowstring, the arrow formed from a thousand winds flew out of the bow and flew towards Durandal like a bluebird.

When Durandal saw the wind arrow coming towards her, she did not panic at all. She simply raised the white spear in her hand, and the blazing blue light shimmered on her body.

"Awaken! Defenders of Glory!"

It should be noted that a Herrscher's attack can easily destroy a mountain or a city, but faced with this incredibly powerful arrow, Durandal did not dodge instantly. Instead, she summoned a phantom spirit to hold a shield in front of her.
