Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

"Cough! Cough!"

Yuno coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, her pupils gradually dilated, and she could feel her life force rapidly draining away.

This is a football field, all grass, which is why Sikong was able to shoot an arrow that created a crater with a radius of more than ten meters. If it were concrete or something similar, a crater with a radius of several meters would be the limit.

The battle here has attracted the attention of the Hyperion.

After defeating several rushing-class Honkai Beasts that tried to close in, the warship flying high in the sky immediately changed direction and headed towards Thousand Feather Academy.

Yuno is dead.

After Sikong fired the arrow, it pierced her chest. With such a severe injury, even a Herrscher could not avoid death.

"Dead? That's a bit of a surprise. I thought you could at least put up a fight."

When Sikong shot the arrow, he did not deliberately aim at Yuno's heart.

As a young person who grew up under the red flag.

Sikong could not easily take someone's life.

Unless Yuno is truly wicked and someone who must be killed, it is clear that this pseudo-Herrscher is not a great villain; she is just a pitiful person corrupted by Honkai.

Sikong originally intended to give her one last chance, but clearly, she didn't seize it.

Kill the opponent.

This made Sikong feel a little guilty.

As Sikong leaped down from the pit and slowly walked forward, his body gradually grew taller.

Raven is only 167cm tall and weighs 55kg. She usually wears high heels of about 10cm to significantly increase her height.

When Sikong uses his raven form, he never wears high heels.

because......

Sikong seriously suspected that if he wore high heels in battle, he would likely sprain his ankle, which would be quite embarrassing, so he always wore ordinary sneakers.

After a short battle, the soles of his sneakers were almost completely worn down.

Yuno looks rather pitiful right now.

His originally gloomy face turned deathly pale.

This was caused by massive blood loss; dark red burn marks spread from his chin to his ears, and his beautiful hair was completely singed.

Bending down, Sikong pulled a student card from Yuno's pocket and muttered to himself.

"Yuno... So your name is Yuno? I'll remember your name, and... I'm sorry..."

Sikong half-squatted down and slowly closed the other person's eyes.

When he stood up again.

Zero's form has transformed into the pseudo-Herrscher Yuno. As a pseudo-Herrscher, she possesses the ability to manipulate plants, and her toxins are so potent that even S-rank Valkyries cannot withstand them.

Yuno's form has now been obtained as originally planned.

For some reason, Sikong couldn't feel happy. His heart was a little heavy. This was the first time he had killed a girl with reason since coming to this world.

Killing a pseudo-Herrscher is no different from killing a living person.

Sikong shook his head, clearing his mind of all the random thoughts, and looked up at the sky.

"The next step should be to join St. Freya Academy. Should I rely on Yuno's form to join St. Freya Academy? I don't feel like that's a good idea."

The fact that Sikong transforms into a girl during battle already pushes his limits.

She usually acts like a girl.

It's like rubbing Sikong's bottom line into the ground.

Moreover, Sikong has no intention of interacting with the Valkyrie in female form.

What are lilies when they bloom?

"Buzz!"

At that moment, a dark figure descended from the sky, accompanied by a bold and confident female voice.

"Wuliangta Jizi! Come on!"

Chapter Twenty-Three: Two Pseudo-Herrschers

The captain of the Hyperion, Lieutenant Commander Himeko Murata, is an A-rank Valkyrie of the Schicksal Far East Division. After being equipped with the Schicksal experimental exoskeleton armor, she can even be compared to an S-rank Valkyrie.

She is fully capable of handling the newly born Herrscher on her own—meaning she will not be easily defeated.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect to find such an interesting guy at Qianyu Academy."

Himeko Murata was wearing a tight-fitting combat suit with red as the main color. Her right arm, from shoulder to forearm, was covered with a layer of red armor.

This is an armor called the Fusion Armor.

There are two forms in total: the current lightweight version and the heavy version, which is still in the experimental stage and is the exoskeleton armor mentioned earlier.

The current enemy is merely a newly born pseudo-Herrscher.

Their strength is far inferior to that of the Herrscher.

Therefore, Himeko Murata only needs to travel light. Wearing heavy fusion armor would be a huge burden on her body, and excessive Honkai energy running through her body would cause irreversible damage.

Many Valkyries ultimately died at the hands of Honkai energy.

This is why Anti-Entropy uses mechs as carriers of Honkai energy. Even though the mechs' utilization rate of Honkai energy cannot exceed 20%, they still insist on using mechs to fight against Honkai.

because......

Using a Valkyrie's body as a vessel for Honkai energy to fight against Honkai, even with extremely high resistance to Honkai energy and the possession of Stigmata, it is impossible to completely resist the erosion of Honkai energy.

Extensive use of Honkai energy.

There are only two possible outcomes.

They either die outright or become suicide soldiers.

Compared to death, becoming a suicide soldier is a more unacceptable phenomenon.

They say it's a second life.

In fact, becoming a suicide soldier is equivalent to death, unless one becomes a Herrscher or a pseudo-Herrscher.

Looking at the uninvited guest who had just arrived, Sikong asked, feigning ignorance, "Who are you?"

"I am Major Himeko Murata, an A-rank Valkyrie from the Destiny Organization. And you, the melancholic pseudo-Herrscher?"

Himeko Murata, with her red hair, looks very enthusiastic. Her mature voice is very pleasant to listen to, especially her slightly upturned eyes, which seem to be smiling but not smiling.

Both Himeko Murata and the raven they encountered before were top-tier beauties.

Before his time travel, Sikong had never encountered such a beautiful girl.

"She mistook me for Yuno? Indeed... Yuno's face has been burned beyond recognition by the flames, and she's covered in blood, making it hard for anyone to tell that we look exactly alike."

"Since she made a mistake, it means my true identity hasn't been discovered yet."

Sikong remained silent, sensing that the other party had arrived at a very inopportune time, as he had not yet decided which form he would use to join St. Freya Academy.

The appearance of this red-haired mature woman.

It was as if a knife was held to Sikong's neck, forcing him to make a choice now.

The brief conversation ended.

Himeko Murata drew a large, dark purple sword from her back.

As the captain of the fifth squad of the Valkyrie Destiny.

Himeko Murata's target is the pseudo-Herrscher in front of her.

The Honkai energy detector on the Hyperion revealed Honkai energy fluctuations on Sikong's body that resembled a pseudo-core, unlike the Honkai energy generated by using Stigmata.

Both the Herrscher core and the pseudo-Herrscher core are extremely efficient at absorbing and using Honkai energy. This efficiency is enough to confirm the identities of the Herrscher and the pseudo-Herrscher.

Stigmata are like a lower-level replacement for the core.

The mark of natural awakening.

In terms of absorbing and utilizing Honkai energy, it cannot compare with the core generated by Honkai, and is far inferior to the core, not to mention artificial Stigmata.

"Major Himeko, the Hyperion has just detected two pseudo-Herrscher fluctuations. The corpse lying on the ground is also a pseudo-Herrscher. Schicksal headquarters has requested that we retrieve the pseudo-Herrscher's core."

Such a sound suddenly came from the communicator.

"Two paths? These two pseudo-Herrschers are fighting?"

If there is no Herrscher to govern, it is possible for pseudo-Herschers to fight each other.

By devouring the cores of other pseudo-Herrschers, one can quickly become stronger. Unfortunately, Sikong cannot do this, as the form he takes over will never change in his lifetime.

For example, Zero Guardian Death Squad, she can never improve her strength by even a little bit.

Whether it's physical fitness or the Honkai energy within the body.

The Zero Guardian assassins have all been locked down.

Even if Sikong were to devour Yuno's pseudo-Herrscher core now, it would only temporarily boost his strength. As long as he switched forms, he would revert to his original state. This is the drawback of copying forms.

Fortunately, Sikong's true form can still grow.

. . . . . .

By observing the traces of the battlefield.

Himeko Murata was certain that her opponent was very strong, and that the fact that he had launched two such attacks in such a short period of time was simply terrifying.

"I have no intention of starting an argument with you."

Sikong took two steps back, feigning weakness to the enemy.

Himeko Murata was startled.

"A pseudo-Herrscher who can remain conscious? Interesting, very interesting."

Both Herrschers and pseudo-Herrschers are products of the Honkai Will.
