Honkai Impact 3rd: My Days as a Captain in Schicksal

He originally thought that this Knight Honkai Beast with the [Honkai Energy Shield] could withstand at least two rounds of [Super Gravity Field] bombardment, but he didn't expect that it would lose its combat ability in just one round, which was different from what he had expected.

This more or less affected his original plan. In his original plan, the two Honkai Beasts were supposed to create five explosions of the [Supergravity Field] according to his arranged attack batches, but he never expected that this Knight Honkai Beast would be so vulnerable...

It's not that the Knight Honkai Beasts are weak, but rather that this time the [Super Gravity Field] was just too overpowered...

Knight Honkai Beast is not known for its defensive capabilities. Its carapace is much thinner than that of the Chariot Honkai Beast of the same level. In addition, to reduce weight, the white horse it rides is not fully covered by carapace. Therefore, the [Supergravity Field] encountered almost no resistance and released all the energy in its body at once, which made it lose all its combat power almost instantly.

That's why Keng Huo decided to shift his primary target to the Titan mech. Since the Knight Honkai Beast had temporarily lost its combat ability, it could be killed by the aftershock of the next [Supergravity Field] explosion in a dozen seconds, so there was no need to waste time on it.

Moreover, its energy was almost completely depleted in this explosion, so it wouldn't have much power to explode again.

Upon receiving the order, Kiana and Mei quickly rushed towards the two Titan mechs, one on the left and one on the right. However, their attacks had no effect on the Titan mechs, and they couldn't even break through the armor layers.

Keng Huo bit his fingers anxiously. He hadn't considered the situation before him. He had thought that the Knight Honkai Beast might be able to withstand a few more rounds of [Supergravity Field] attacks, but he never expected that it wouldn't even last one round. The missing [Supergravity Field] aftershock explosion might not be enough to reduce the damage rate of the two Titan mechs to a level where they could be killed. But in any case, the battle was inevitable. He could only quickly calculate in his mind all the possible scenarios and the ways he could effectively damage the Titan mechs.

Although Kiana and Mei cannot inflict actual damage on the Titan Mech, they can still manage to entangle it.

The Titan that was fighting Kiana suddenly made a charging motion in place, and at the same time, an inexplicable abnormal gravity appeared around it. Kiana, who often played "Honkai Impact 3rd" with Keng Huo, almost subconsciously guessed the Titan's next move.

Titan's attack methods are very simple and brutal, which can be summarized as throwing a punch, smashing a punch, smashing a punch with all its might, and running up to smash a punch. However, such attack methods are too monotonous and easy to see through. The reason why Titan is the most troublesome enemy in the eyes of the Valkyrie of Destiny, despite using such simple attack methods, is the gravity generator installed in its body.

The device's effect is simple: it generates a gravitational pull towards the Titan, drawing everything around it towards its body. However, when combined with the Titan's terrifying attack power and robust physique, the device becomes even more terrifying.

Fortunately, the use of this device seems to have a huge energy consumption limit, and it can even overclock the energy circuits inside the Titan for a short time, so that even if it has enough energy, it cannot be used continuously. However, at this moment, the Titan has obviously activated the gravity generator, and Kiana is feeling a powerful suction force pulling her towards the Titan's fist.

In desperation, Kiana had no choice but to activate the spacetime fracture system, barely managing to escape the Titan mech's attack range.

"That was close..." Kiana broke out in a cold sweat, the almost irresistible suction still making her shudder. "This thing didn't seem like much in the game, but how come it's so terrifying in real life!"

"Kiana! Combined Attack Tank Honkai Beast!" Keng Huo, who was watching the monitor in the command room, broke out in a cold sweat. But seeing that Kiana was out of danger and the powerful shock bomb had been fully charged, he quickly gave Kiana the command to form a combined attack formation.

Kiana, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, performed dazzling backflips on the ground, dodging the Titan's pursuit with the clumsiness of an acrobat: "I want to too! But I just can't get away..."

Before Kiana could finish speaking, a sense of crisis, seemingly from nowhere, surged up her spine. Without thinking, she quickly rolled to the side to dodge the attack of the Honkai Beast Chariot.

Although Kiana dodged the frontal attack of the Honkai Beast Chariot, the intense shockwave from its crash caused her to make a mistake upon landing, tumbling and falling to the ground.

"Mei!" At the critical moment, Keng Huo called out Mei's name, and Mei, as if struck by a divine inspiration, immediately activated her spacetime rupture device. In those few seconds of bullet time, she broke free from the Titan mech that was originally fighting against her, picked up Kiana, and quickly leaped backward away from the battle.

At this moment, Kiana, in Mei's arms, whether by mistake or in a hasty aiming motion, fired a powerful stun grenade that instantly left the muzzle of Colt Defender's gun and headed straight for the tank-like Honkai Beast.

The massive size of the Tank Honkai Beast was a great help; the stun grenade hit the Tank Honkai Beast's body almost effortlessly. After the intense shock, the Tank Honkai Beast, which had just completed its attack, seemed to lose its balance and fall to the ground.

Its massive size also slightly hindered the Titan mech that was originally entangled with Kiana.

"Bronya!" Keng Huo didn't care about the specific instructions and only managed to call out Bronya's name.

"【Hypergravity Field】, Detonate!" Bronya did not disappoint Keng Huo's expectations. Almost the instant Keng Huo finished speaking, she had already taken to the sky with the help of her leg exoskeleton and slammed into the fallen Honkai Beast like an air-to-ground missile.

A violent explosion rang out, and Mei and Kiana, who had not yet regained their footing, were blown backward by the shockwave, leaving a long trail on the ground.

Fortunately, the Valkyrie standard armor's superior quality protected their bodies, preventing them from suffering any real harm since they hadn't had time to completely evacuate the blast radius.

"I'm fine!" Kiana rolled over and got up the moment the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, instinctively reporting her condition on the public channel.

"【Crimson】is also undamaged." Mei quickly glanced at her own armor's status bar and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Spread out and regroup!" Seeing that neither of them was seriously injured, Keng Huo felt a great weight lifted from his heart and quickly issued the order to change formation.

Kiana and Mei moved out in perfect unison, one on the left and one on the right, without any prior communication. However, unlike before, this time they simply used their high-speed movement to circle around the enemy, who was now huddled together from the previous attack. The two left a trail of afterimages as they moved at high speed, and their attacks were brief and swift, without causing any substantial damage or lingering for a moment.

The three enemies, who had just broken free from the [Gravity Lock], were still reeling from the chaos when Kiana and Mei moved at high speed in opposite directions. The two Titan mechs that had locked onto Kiana and Mei collided head-on. In addition, the newly risen Honkai Beast Chariot was frantically waving its forelimbs in an attempt to attack the two slippery little ones, but many of its attacks hit the two Titan mechs instead, causing even greater chaos. At first glance, it looked like an internal conflict had broken out.

"Tsk... After all, they're just two inanimate objects and a wild beast..." Keng Huo sneered, a ruthless glint in his eyes. He had witnessed the Titan mechs nearly injuring Kiana, and being a fiercely protective person, Keng Huo couldn't possibly let those two Titan mechs off so easily. "Maintain formation! Powerful stun grenade recharge time?"

Five seconds!

"Bronya! Fire!" Amid the chaos, Keng Huo issued the most correct order.

That would create even greater chaos.

As if knowing Keng Huo's thoughts, Bronya fired three cannonballs that had been fully charged from the barrel in succession, all hitting one of the Titan mechs head-on. The violent explosion seemed to have caused some damage to the Titan mech's interior. The Titan mech was knocked back a few steps by the violent explosion and almost sat on the ground. The other Titan mech, having just used the gravity generator, was not yet able to activate the device again to disrupt Kiana and Mei's formation.

The tank-like Honkai Beast seemed to be getting impatient. It stood still, its two forelimbs braced against the ground again, and began to inhale sharply. It was clearly going to use its compressed air cannon to forcibly restrict Kiana and Kiana's movement and prevent them from circling around.

"Powerful stun grenade module fully charged!"

"Now!" Keng Huo roared.

The powerful shockwave interrupted the compressed air cannon that the Honkai Beast was about to unleash, forcing all the compressed air back into the Honkai Beast's body.

Once again, the [Supergravity Field] exploded like a nuclear bomb among the three enemies.

The destructive power of this [Supergravity Field] exceeded Keng Huo's original expectations. Perhaps it was due to the compressed air inside the Tank Honkai Beast's belly, but the power of this attack directly killed the Tank Honkai Beast, whose [Honkai Energy Shield] was already damaged. It burst open like a balloon that had been filled with air, engulfing the two Titan mechs next to it with explosive Honkai energy.

"Is it over?" Kiana, who felt that the attack was somewhat beyond her expectations, was blown up by the wind and waves and then crashed heavily to the ground. But she was unmoved by this. She just scrambled to her feet and looked nervously at the center of the explosion.

At the epicenter of the explosion, the Honkai Beast that had contributed two [Supergravity Field] explosions was now flying everywhere. The two Titan mechs that were right next to it also seemed to be completely damaged. Their armor was riddled with holes, and many of the armor plates had been torn apart by the violent explosion and chaotic gravity flow. Sparks were crackling all over their bodies, and even the indicator lights on the various detection devices on their bodies had gone out.

"It seems they're gradually getting used to real teamwork... Just a few days ago, they were just the three of them randomly playing together..."

Keng Huo glanced uneasily at the energy level gauge of the surrounding area transmitted back by Dandelion, and suddenly discovered that an unknown, powerful energy source had entered Dandelion's energy detection range and was rapidly approaching.

"All units prepare for battle! First..." Before Keng Huo could finish speaking, he saw Kiana skipping and hopping towards the two Titan mechs that seemed to be completely destroyed, with even their energy detectors and infrared sensors no longer flashing.

"Kiana! Back off!" Keng Huo swallowed the rest of his sentence and shouted anxiously into the communication channel.

Kiana seemed startled by the loud shout and instinctively stopped in her tracks.

At that very moment, all the indicator lights on the two Titan mechs suddenly lit up, flashing unsettling red lights. The engines roared like thunder, and their damaged joints creaked and groaned. Unstable electrical sparks and small explosions continuously occurred on the armor plates that had been torn apart by the explosion. Through the gaps in the armor plates, one could see that the energy circuits inside were being overloaded wildly, as if they were about to burst into flames. The Honkai energy sparks flashing in those circuits were as vivid as boiling blood.

Like a demon returned from hell.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Urgent! The Titans on the Run!

"Delay the second phase of the plan! Find cover and take cover! Don't engage the enemy in open areas!" Keng Huo shouted urgently into the communicator. "The leader of the mining area is coming! Wait until they enter before implementing the second phase of the plan!"

"Roger that!"

As if they had planned it in advance, the three of them split into three directions and retreated rapidly, disappearing into the ruins.

But the Titan armor's infrared detection system wouldn't allow them to leave so easily.

The engines of the two Titan mechs roared like thunder, forcibly propelling their battered bodies into agile movements completely different from before.

Almost simultaneously, they locked onto Kiana, who was closest to them. Their massive mechanical legs slammed into the ground, creating cracks and craters. Like a speeding train, they charged forward with immense kinetic energy, ignoring the walls and ruins in their path, and madly rushed toward Kiana as shown in the infrared detector.

The moment the Titan mechs made contact with the ruins, the ruins crumbled as easily as paper, unable to stop the Titan mechs in the slightest. Thick smoke billowed up along their path of charge, and from the side, it looked as if they had performed a wall-passing technique, passing through walls without any hindrance.

"Kiana! Get to the third floor! Then jump out the window to escape!" Keng Huo estimated the height of the Titan mechs and directed Kiana to evade them. "You can't outrun them on flat ground!"

"Got it!" Kiana replied quickly amidst her busy schedule. At this moment, Kiana, who was in the ruins of a large shopping mall, leaped towards the tall column in the center of the mall's small square, and quickly climbed upwards.

But the Titan mechs that were pursuing her at an astonishing speed did not give her a chance to escape. One Titan mech, like a bulldozer, crashed directly into the pillar without dodging or avoiding it, causing the pillar to collapse. Kiana, affected by the vibrations from the collapse of the pillar, slipped and almost fell off the pillar.

But Kiana reacted quickly, pushing off the pillar before it completely collapsed, and using the recoil to perform a backflip and leap towards a banner hanging from the mall's ceiling not far away.

She grabbed the banner and, like Tarzan, used the momentum of its flight to swing it around. Like a nimble monkey, she leaped onto another pillar and nimbly climbed up it.

But at almost the same time, another mech crashed into the second pillar she was clinging to.

Having learned from her previous experience, Kiana was well-prepared. Almost without hesitation, she grabbed the edge of the second-floor floor and flipped herself up to the second floor.

"Kiana! There's no time to get to the third floor! Turn right! Run towards Bronya!" In those few short seconds, Keng Huo had processed countless data points into his mind.

"The second surveillance team is transmitting Dandelion's detection data on this building to Bronya! We need information on the load-bearing walls!"

“Bronya has received it.” Outside the south entrance of the mall, Bronya was already standing there quietly, waiting. Data flashed like waves on her contact lenses. She memorized the coordinates of the key load-bearing walls with just a quick glance.

"Bronya! Wait for my command! I will count down to three! Then you will destroy the main load-bearing structure of this part of the mall!" Keng Huo paced back and forth in the command room with some anxiety. Delaying the implementation of the second phase of the operation plan was a risky move. It could give them a much greater chance of winning when facing the mining area leader, but the risk was facing two Titan mechs that had entered overload mode at the same time.

"Bronya received. Request to initiate the destruction of the supporting structure." With the assistance of the Reloaded Rabbit central computer, Bronya quickly determined the plan to destroy the mall's load-bearing structure.

"approve!"

The cannon barrel on the left arm of the Heavy Rabbit had been replaced with another cannon at some point. Its main body was a rectangular prism with sharp edges. The muzzle was completely different from that of the Markov A type. It was not a huge caliber muzzle, but a combination of four smaller caliber muzzles arranged in a grid pattern.

This is the Raider Split Missile, which launches a split-tracking missile equipped with a target locking system and a tracking-assisted directional thruster.

Bronya casually raised his left arm, aimed it at the mall, and launched several homing missiles. The missiles disintegrated in mid-air, splitting into several smaller, more agile bombs. With the help of an auxiliary guidance system, these bombs could attack load-bearing walls or pillars behind bunkers with a simple turn.

Faint sounds of explosions and collapses could be heard coming from inside the mall.

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Kiana narrowly leaped to the side, landing on the counter to dodge a powerful punch that came crashing down from under the floor. The armored fist seemed to sense that it had missed its target and quickly withdrew, causing a large section of the floor to collapse.

Kiana dared not linger, constantly using the ground and various counters as leverage to perform tactical evasive maneuvers, dodging the attacks launched by the Titan mechs from the first floor.

"Kiana! When I start the countdown, run out of the mall as fast as you can!"

"understand!"

“Bronya! How much more do we need?” Keng Huo turned to Bronya’s private communication channel.

“…The auxiliary support points have been destroyed. Next, we only need to destroy the three main load-bearing columns.” Bronya seemed to have anticipated Keng Huo’s question and answered before Keng Huo could finish speaking.

"Alright! Kiana's almost here! Get ready to warm up!"

"Heavy Bunny, weapon change." Bronya calmly raised his left arm. A flash of light appeared, and the [Markov Type A] that had been floating on Heavy Bunny's left arm disappeared, replaced by a cylindrical giant cannon that slowly emerged from the void.

The cannon is painted in red and white, and the style of the paint job is very similar to that of the Heavy Bunny itself. It can almost be said that it was a matching weapon. Its muzzle is slightly concave inward, and what you see are circles of energy generating coils and energy field binding devices. At this moment, they are lighting up one by one, and the entire cannon body begins to tremble slightly. An indescribable heat seems to be spreading from the cannon.

【Heavy Bunny 19C】This is Heavy Bunny's companion weapon, a laser cannon with powerful firepower. Its strong binding magnetic field can bind the laser to a very small scattering range. Enemies hit by this laser will be heated by the impact of the strong particle stream until they reach a temperature that can almost melt all matter.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Kiana! Now! [Time Fracture System]!" Keng Huo stared intently at the small blue dot representing Kiana on the battle map, mentally estimating her speed and the distance she still needed to run. Now, the final sprint had finally begun.

"【Time Fracture System】...Activate!" Kiana, who had once again narrowly dodged the iron fist that the Titan mech attacked from under the floor, activated the 【Time Fracture System】 without hesitation. In an instant, the whole world seemed to slow down, freezing into a slow-motion movie scene.

Kiana didn't linger because of the brief respite. She ran towards the floor-to-ceiling windows of the second-floor mall in one go, trying to escape the mall in the limited four seconds and reunite with Bronya.

Finally, the dusty and grime-covered floor-to-ceiling window appeared before Kiana. Without the slightest hesitation, she covered her head with her arms and slammed into the window like a cannonball.

Even the tempered glass of the shopping mall could not stop the Valkyrie's full-force charge.

The instant Kiana shattered the glass, her [Time Fracture System] safety lock automatically activated, ending the brief time fracture.

At the same time, the cannons of the Heavy Rabbit also burst out with dazzling flashes of light.

The instant Kiana leaped out of the mall, the energy coils in the Heavy Bunny 19C's cannon, which had been accumulating power, began to spin wildly. The preheated laser cannon, like a lightsaber piercing the world, instantly pierced the three final main load-bearing pillars that were lined up in a straight line inside the mall entrance.

"Heavy Bunny...output reached 80%...90%...100%...120%!"
