Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

Chapter 87 Gemstone Transplantation

“I see… If Lieutenant Sikong can stay a few more days, please contact me. To celebrate the success of the operation, our Snow Lotus Squad will be holding a party in a few days.”

Holding a party after completing a mission is a habit of many Valkyries.

It wasn't just to celebrate surviving the fight against the Honkai.

It was also to commemorate the fallen teammates.

In this world, collapse doesn't happen all the time. It usually only happens a few times a month, and the location of each occurrence is not fixed. It could be in the Far East, the ocean, or even Africa.

Almost every mission.

The Valkyries will then take a long break.

The destruction of a small town like this is an extremely rare event.

If this had happened a few hundred years ago, the frequency and intensity of the Honkai would have been lower, and the Valkyries would have had more time to rest.

"Okay, I understand. If I'm resting here, I'll contact Lieutenant Anna."

"Alright, then I won't bother Lieutenant Sikong any longer."

Anna nodded and left, probably because she had her own things to do.

After spotting the target person.

Sikong was satisfied. In fact, he didn't know how to have a deeper conversation with the other party. They met, exchanged greetings, and that was it. If he were a person with strong social skills, he would have already gotten their contact information.

Unfortunately, Sikong is not Sheniu.

"Although she invited me to the party, it was just a casual remark; she probably wasn't sincere..."

This is just like some people in a past life saying, "Let's have dinner another day."

It's just a polite expression.

It doesn't necessarily mean they want to invite you to dinner unless they give a specific time and make it a very formal invitation.

Such casual remarks are most likely just polite formalities.

Sikong didn't pay any attention. He wandered around the Ocean Branch out of boredom, and after running into a few Valkyries from the Snow Lotus Squad, he left alone.

Unlike the temporary three-person team composed of Sikong and others, the Snow Lotus Team is a formal organization of the Ocean Branch.

Just like the Fifth Squad of the Fate Valkyrie of the Far East Branch.

However, unlike the fifth squad...

The Snow Lotus Squad does not possess a floating warship like the Hyperion.

The squad leader is an A-rank Valkyrie, and there are nearly twenty B-rank Valkyries.

Once Anna becomes an A-rank Valkyrie, she will become the new vice-captain, and then all vice-captains will be A-rank Valkyries.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

This time, they are fighting against the decay and erosion of the town.

The Snow Lotus Squad is the main force.

During the battle, the Far East Branch and the Far East Branch were only stationed on the south and west sides, while the Snow Lotus Squad went deep into the town and confronted a large number of Honkai Beasts and high-level assassins head-on.

After a battle...

The Snow Lotus Squad suffered nearly a third of its members as casualties, and even the captain, an A-rank Valkyrie, was seriously injured. Sikong learned this from his conversations with the other Valkyries in the Snow Lotus Squad.

The Valkyries here are quite warm and hospitable.

The thought that the Snow Lotus Squad would be wiped out in the Manila Collapse in a while made Sikong feel a little sad.

"If I could, I would want to change their fate..."

If Sikong had intervened when the Honkai erupted in Manila, perhaps they wouldn't have been torn to pieces by the Honkai Beasts and high-level assassins and forced to flee in disarray.

In the end, only Anna was killed.

As for the people of Manila?

Since the collapse is inevitable, even if Sikong evacuates all the people in Manila, he cannot prevent the collapse; it will only cause the collapse to occur in another place.

Many people will die as well.

Therefore, Sikong wouldn't do something as foolish as asking someone to move out; it would just be a futile effort.

Return to the Far East Branch headquarters for rest.

the next day......

As soon as it was light, Squad Leader Fu Hua checked on Demi's physical condition and, after confirming that the problem wasn't too serious and that she could withstand the turbulence of the combat airship, let Sikong and Annie leave together.

As for the other two Valkyrie squads of the Far East branch?

After the combat mission was completed, Fu Hua no longer needed to worry about them; whether they stayed or left was up to their captain to decide.

In any case, all three temporary squads have their own combat airships.

Before leaving, Fu Hua politely greeted the people from the Ocean Branch and the Far East Branch.

Then he took a combat airship back to St. Freya Academy.

Another few hours of boring time.

Upon returning to the academy, Sikong immediately met up with Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya to discuss their experiences during the mission.

They learned that Sikong was locked in a fierce battle with a Temple-class Honkai Beast.

Kiana scoffed, "A mere Temple-level Honkai Beast is no match for me."

After obtaining the third-generation Destiny Valkyrie armor.

Kiana's confidence began to soar.

but......

This guy really has the potential to be amazing, because Sikong knows that the third-generation Valkyrie armor she's wearing is no ordinary armor; it's called Domain Armor: White Comet.

However, under special circumstances, it will unlock its powers and transform into the fourth-generation prototype Valkyrie Godslayer Armor.

White Knight Moonlight.

After being infused with the Honkai energy of Herrscher Mei, it will transform into the Moonlight of the Thunder Queen.

As for why Kiana's third-generation Valkyrie armor is so special, you'll have to ask the big boss hiding behind the scenes, Bishop Otto.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was time for Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya to go on a mission together.

Himeko Murata is taking three people to investigate anomalies in Honkai energy on a small island in the Far East.

This is a very basic trainee task.

It would be quite good if you could encounter even a few Honkai Beasts.

Sikong's previous training mission was not an ordinary one. Who knows how the Destiny Organization selected him? Perhaps the Crimson Phoenix Immortal thought highly of him?

Sikong's performance in this mission was indeed quite impressive.

She stands out among a group of veteran B-rank Valkyries.

Since Himeko Murata and the others weren't heading to the Nine Netherworlds, Sikong didn't plan to hitch a ride. It was also time for him to have the Tranquility Gem transplant surgery, so he didn't have time to wander around.

Next...

Class monitor Fu Hua led Si Kong away from St. Freya Academy.

The transplantation of the Tranquil Gem is no small matter and cannot be carried out in the academy, so it needs to be done at the Destiny Headquarters.

It is a giant floating island located in the Mediterranean Sea.

The floating islands are shrouded in clouds and mist year-round.

Looking inside from the outside, it's hazy and dreamlike, like a fairyland. Only after passing through the clouds and mist can you see everything clearly inside.

Led by Fu Hua, Si Kong entered the headquarters of Destiny not long afterward and was wheeled into the operating room. The researchers in white coats observed him as he lay naked on the white operating table, like he was a lab rat.

"The Tranquility Gem transplant is about to begin. Lieutenant Sikong, please don't be nervous. Based on our assessment, your body has an extremely high adaptability to the Tranquility Gem, and the probability of the experiment's success is extremely high."

Sikong remained silent, only thinking to himself, "That would be for the best..."

Chapter 88 Fusion Error (Bonus Chapter! Please Vote!)

The researchers in white coats looked very serious. As researchers studying Honkai energy, they were all basically resistant to Honkai energy, so there was no need to worry about being corrupted by it.

In the world of Honkai Impact 3rd.

Nine out of ten researchers studying Honkai energy are women.

Whether it was the transplantation of artificial stigmata back then or the implantation of the Tranquil Gem now, it was a group of girls performing surgery on Sikong.

If it's the world before the time travel.

Women are physically weaker than men, so men still have to do many things.

But in this world, things are different. Women with Honkai energy resistance can become powerful warriors with just a little training.

Even female researchers in the Destiny Organization.

In a fight, he's not someone an ordinary adult male could beat.

"Lieutenant Sikong, the Tranquility Gem implantation is different from artificial Stigmata, so we will immediately send you into a large incubation tank. We will then inject you with breathable nutrient solution. Please don't be nervous, just breathe freely."

This was the second time they had reassured Sikong not to be nervous.

So he replied.

"It's okay, I'm not nervous."

Just like when transplanting artificial stigmata.

Sikong underwent general anesthesia after the Tranquility Gem was implanted, and some inexplicable substance was injected into him. His eyes were wide open, and although he couldn't control his body, he didn't fall asleep but kept moving while staring at the ceiling.

After being anesthetized, Sikong's nerve reaction speed also slowed down.

It took him a while to realize that the other party was sending him to the culture tank.
