My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

"Your Majesty, I am back."

Bella landed behind Sirin and knelt on one knee to tell Sirin that the mission was complete.

"Okay, I understand. You can stay here for now."

Xilin stood in the middle of a snowfield, with a small snowdrift in front of her and a dead branch stuck in it.

A gray gem appeared in her hand. Sirin stared at the gem for a long time, but finally gave up and took it back.

"Never mind, I don't want your hands to be stained with this sinful blood."

Chapter 228 Preparation before the war

The convoy traveled for a day and a night, reaching the border area between Belarus and Poland, where it had to stop due to running out of fuel.

"Why are there still so many Honkai Beasts here?"

With a swift stroke, Kiyono Hatsuyuki dispatched countless Honkai Beasts; she was exhausted if she continued fighting like this.

"Reinforcements have arrived."

Xuan Yu dodged a rush-class Honkai Beast, finished it off with a slash from behind, and turned to look at a figure that was gradually becoming clearer.

"Lady Xuanyu, please take the survivors back to headquarters. I will cover the rear."

Cheng Lixue, holding Ruoshui, slashed a Honkai Beast in half with one strike and nodded to Xuan Yu.

"His Excellency the Bishop has summoned all Valkyries of Rank B or above in Europe, and a war council will be held tomorrow at noon to discuss the campaign against the Second Herrscher."

Meanwhile, Siegfried, who had landed back at the Anti-Entropy base, disembarked from Alahato and walked guiltily toward Tesla and Einstein, who were already waiting there, carrying a box disguised as Soul Steel.

"Dr. Tesla, I...I'm sorry."

Tesla didn't say anything, but took the box, hugged it, and started crying. Einstein quietly patted her back beside her.

Not long after, Einstein's terminal started ringing incessantly. He opened it and saw it was a communication from one of his subordinates. He opened it with some confusion.

"Dr. Einstein, we've detected a Honkai energy reaction heading this way. According to our analysis, it belongs to the Alliance Leader!"

"what?!"

The three people present were all startled. Just as they were about to ask a question, they saw a person flying towards them from high in the sky.

“That’s… Joachim!”

Walter landed with difficulty next to the group, and collapsed as soon as he stood up, lying weakly on the ground.

"Joachim, it really is you!"

Tesla tossed the box to Einstein, jogged over to Walter, and checked his injuries.

Einstein grabbed the box and quickly notified the medical staff, while also wondering how Walter had returned.

"Walter, where's the tarantula?"

Siegfried was relieved that Walter had returned, but seeing Walter's ominous expression, he understood something.

"It was the tarantula that brought me back, he, he..."

Walter was too weak to speak, and Tesla was so anxious that tears streamed down his face. He told Walter to rest first and that they could talk about these things later.

"The ambulance is here, Tesla. You go with Walter. Mr. Siegfried, please come with me. I'll take you to rest."

After seeing Walter and Tesla off, Einstein took Siegfried to the lounge with his suitcase and went to study the Soul Steel himself.

A few hours later, Walter's condition had stabilized, and he lay in his hospital bed staring at the ceiling.

The door opened, and Tesla led Siegfried in. Siegfried saw that Walter was alright, and his guilt lessened somewhat.

"Walter, um... I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize; the choice you made was the right one."

Walter shook his head, and the two grown men smiled at each other. Walter asked Siegfried to sit down, as he had many things to tell him in detail.

It took Walter about ten minutes to recount everything that had happened between the two of them, from the moment they met Sirin until he lost consciousness. Upon hearing that Luo Chen had conjured a small ship out of thin air, Siegfried gaped in astonishment.

"You mean the tarantula can create things out of thin air?"

Tesla was equally surprised; constructing objects was a power of the Herrscher of Reason, and how Luo Chen knew it was another matter. According to Welt's description, the speed at which he could create a ship by hand was almost instantaneous, which was far more terrifying than Welt's.

"I don't know either. I was knocked unconscious by him when the warship was completed, and when I woke up again, I was already in the atmosphere."

Walter shook his head. Luo Chen was his savior, and now that Xilin had returned to Earth, he believed that Luo Chen had died on the moon.

"But why did you fly back by yourself?"

Siegfried asked why Walter needed to fly back himself if there were ships available; he couldn't understand it.

"Not long after I woke up, the ship lost power and couldn't fly back at all. I had to destroy it and fly back on my own."

Walter got up and sat on the bed. Tesla tried to push him back down, but Walter stopped him.

"Furthermore, I've discovered a problem: my body seems to have been healed, and the injuries I sustained in the battle with the Second Herrscher have largely healed."

Walter leaned against the edge of the bed, rubbing his temples as he tried to recall the circumstances of waking up.

"Was all made by tarantulas?"

"Probably."

“Mr. Siegfried, so you’ve been here.”

Einstein entered, glanced at Walter, and seeing that he was unharmed, continued to Siegfried: "We just extracted some information from the Soul Steel you brought back, and I think it should be related to the Kaslana family."

Destiny Headquarters, Kaslana's House

Cecilia coaxed Kiana to sleep, then tiptoed out of the room and closed the door behind her.

"Is Kiana asleep?"

Xuan Yu sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a diary in her hand. After flipping through a few pages, she closed it and placed it on the coffee table.

"Hmm, where's Xiao Chen?"

"I came over after he fell asleep."

"That's good."

Cecilia looked at the diary on the table, sat down next to Xuan Yu, and pointed at it.

"Is this yours?"

"Ah."

Xuan Yu closed her eyes and nodded. She had searched Luo Ming's room for a long time, and the only useful thing she found was this diary.

"so he……"

"Most likely."

The two remained silent. Cecilia held Xuan Yu's hand and spoke after a long while.

"You don't need to go on this major counter-offensive. Take a few days to rest."

"No, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. If I don't go, who will support you?"

Xuan Yu refused righteously and instead grasped Cecilia's hand. Besides, she still had to avenge Luo Ming, and she had to go to this battle.

"However, this opponent is truly stronger than ever before."

Xuan Yu shook her head and sighed, recalling the terrifying Honkai energy reaction of the Second Herrscher; this battle was bound to be incredibly difficult.

"By the way, is there still no news from Siegfried?"

"He just made a call. He will stay with Anti-Entropy for a while and will come back when the full-scale counterattack begins."

There was a knock on the door, and Cecilia went to open it, where she found Amber.

"Lady Cecilia and Lady Xuan Yu, the bishop has ordered that you two prepare for battle, as the counterattack will officially begin tomorrow."

Amber relayed Otto's orders and rushed back to the bishop's office. As soon as she opened the office door, she heard Otto's voice.

"Amber, you've come at the right time. Have you done everything I asked you to do?"

"It's all done."

Amber stopped at her desk, used her tablet to bring up a map, and then switched it to the screen on her desk.

"All personnel from the rescue center have been transferred to Shenzhou. Three hours ago, the Valkyrie in charge sent a message saying that they had arrived."

"That's good. Tell him the news when he gets back. Amber, there's nothing more for you here. Go back and rest."

"I understand."

Amber left the office, and almost at the same moment, several feathers appeared beside Otto, and Fu Hua appeared in the office.

"Otto, don't you feel contradictory about what you're doing?"

"Old friend, you've finally arrived."

Otto turned around, revealing a harmless smile.

"Now that we have this, the final battle can finally begin."

"Your bishop has agreed."
