Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

Bronya still has mixed feelings about Cheng Xing's phone call last night.

“Bronya, I know you still have feelings for Cocolia. So this time I plan to leave the outcome to you. I will destroy the other forces of Anti-Entropy and then bring Cocolia to you alive.”

"You can decide where she should go then. Don't worry, I have no objections. If you're worried about Seele's return, I have several solutions. As for the orphanage, I have enough funds to support it. You can see them anytime you want."

"So set aside all reasons and events, and ask your own heart."

Bronya's feelings were still very complicated. She recalled the wonderful times that Cocolia's mother had spent with her at the orphanage, but she also remembered how that woman could send her own child into the laboratory without hesitation.

There are also repressed emotions in one's mind, and even the biochip that can control oneself.

"Mom, what am I supposed to do with you?"

Bronya already had the answer in her heart.

It didn't take long for the warship to finally reach the skies above St. Freya Academy, located in the Far East.

They didn't even bother with any disguises, letting the warships leave stealth mode and dock directly in the air.

According to intelligence, the only large warship in the Far East branch is the Hyperion.

The only high-end combat power consists of the S-rank Valkyrie Theresa Apocalypse and the A-rank Valkyrie Himeko Murata, as well as the Third Herrscher, whose current status is unknown.

The problem is that we have an alliance leader who is also a Herrscher, as well as mercenaries who can fight against S-rank Valkyries.

There is also a large number of Titan armor units.

In addition, there was his own daughter's inside help.

This advantage is on my side! Even a fool would know what to do: just use the holy F2A attack and it's done.

The headquarters of Destiny is far away from here. By the time they received the intelligence, they would have already left.

Cocolia felt at this moment that she had already...

Steady!

Yes, just like Brother Guan said.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Offensive

Theresa was still in a sweet dream, reminiscing about the super-concentrated bitter melon juice she had drunk that day, when she was awakened by a loud alarm. She got out of bed groggily, went outside, and then she was wide awake.

Several giant anti-entropy warships were hovering in the sky, their numerous cannons all aimed at the area below.

If it weren't for some unknown reason that made them show themselves and make a threatening gesture, the entire school would probably have been blown to bits in their peaceful sleep.

The first sound of the alarm completely disrupted the peaceful night. Many students had never experienced such a scene before and were inevitably at a loss for what to do.

Bronya kept looking at the sky, and when the warships appeared, the complex emotions in her eyes intensified. Then, a black raven flew in from the horizon and landed on her shoulder.

"Cheng Xing... will you take Raiden Mei with you?"

Although Bronya became friends with Raiden Mei and Kiana, they did not experience any adventures or battles based on mutual trust like in the original storyline, so they remained just friends.

"No, I don't want the World Serpent to call its Lord back right now. If Kevin comes back, this world will start to go into chaos."

The crow uttered Cheng Xing's voice, its scarlet eyes fixed on the warships in the sky. It then said, "Bronya, have you made your decision? Will you let me bring her before you to deal with her, or will you be too reluctant to do it and kill her yourself, or will you spare her life?"

Bronya took a deep breath and then said, "I want to talk to her... and then I want to let her go."

"Okay, I understand. Then I'll spare her life when I make my move."

Cheng Xing nodded without any doubt.

"Cheng Xing, will you blame me for this?"

“I’ve already said it, Bronya, she is your mother, she betrayed you and hurt your mother. This time, it’s up to you to decide her fate. I let her go before, and now you’ve let her go too. We’ve done everything we could. If there’s a third time, then we can both deal with her without any guilt.”

"As I said before, it's up to you to decide what happens to her today."

"This is a promise between the two of us."

Bronya's previously complicated feelings vanished, and she felt relieved once again.

"By the way, we spent so much time together that afternoon, didn't anyone see us? I remember Kiana and Mei were sitting right across from us."

"Oh, this is another of my active skills. Its effect is to blur and distort the perception of me in anyone who doesn't have a particularly strong impression of me. Then, those who have forgotten me will truly never notice proof of my existence."

"Really? That's quite an amazing ability. How did you acquire it?"

"Oh, that's what you got after you forgot about it."

"...Cheng Xing, are you deliberately trying to make me feel guilty?"

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

Okay! Let's skip this clueless straight man and look elsewhere.

Himeko Murata, who was both a teacher and the captain of the Hyperion, had arrived at the Hyperion's command center. She looked at the warships in the sky with a serious expression and asked, "Was the message requesting reinforcements from headquarters successfully sent out?"

"The effect wasn't very good; there was significant interference. We weren't sure if the message had been successfully transmitted, so we could only try again and again."

"How long do we estimate we can hold out against those warships?"

"This may not be ideal. They launched the attack first and have made all kinds of pre-war preparations. We may not even have the opportunity to take off our warships. If there is any unusual movement, the Hyperion may be subjected to a saturation attack from the sky. At that time, we may not even be able to do anything to retaliate."

Upon hearing this, Himeko bit her lip and asked unwillingly, "Then we have no other options now?"

"I'm afraid so."

Just when the school was in complete chaos, Cocolia's voice suddenly came over the loudspeaker in the sky.

"I'll repeat myself once: hand over Raiden Mei to us and we'll leave immediately, or we'll bombard the entire school!"

Upon hearing this request, Theresa knew that these guys were from Anti-Entropy and wanted to take away the Third Herrscher. Theoretically, she should pretend to agree first and then secretly look for an opportunity.

But I've never been that kind of person.

"I could never agree to teach my own students!"

Theresa, dressed in her nun's habit and carrying the Oath of Judah, which was taller than herself, stood in the courtyard, gazing at the warships in the sky, her eyes showing no sign of retreat or concession.

"Looks like your threatening tactics have failed."

Cheng Xing stood beside Cocolia, looked down at the situation below, and said.

"Anyway, it's just a trial, and I don't think the threat will succeed."

Although Cocolia said she would bombard the entire St. Freya Academy if Raiden Mei wasn't handed over, she really didn't dare to do it.

The reason why Anti-Entropy has been able to develop steadily over the years is mainly because Otto simply doesn't care about them. Without Walter Joyce's Anti-Entropy, there's nothing for Otto to worry about.

If she really did something that powerful, bombarding St. Freya Academy, then Anti-Entropy will disappear in no time.

"Then send out the Titan mechs to begin the search. As for Theresa below, I'll leave her to you, Mr. Sako."

Cheng Xing, still wearing Foygo's face, nodded, then picked up a huge, rusty scythe that was as tall as a person and placed to the side, and boarded the warship's transport ship.

Theresa saw countless Titan mechs falling from the sky and landing in the academy from all directions. Just as she was about to stop them, she saw a spaceship stop above her and a person jump off.

“Hello, Theresa Apocalypse, could you please wait here quietly for a while? I don’t want to engage in any pointless battles.”

"Whoever you are, get out of my way!"

Theresa was worried about the students in the school who hadn't really experienced combat yet, so she became a little impatient and directly carried Judas and smashed him at the guy.

The original plan was to force this guy away and then find an opportunity to leave immediately, but unexpectedly, this guy didn't dodge or avoid and was hit directly by Judah.

Before Theresa could even react to what was happening, that guy reappeared behind her.

"It's no use. If you want to get rid of me quickly to save your lovely students, I can only say that's simply impossible."

"A310, when did you become so war-weary?"

What did you just call me?

Theresa's eyes held a dangerous glint.

"Oh, didn't you hear me? I said you're just a little dwarf, someone who'll never grow taller, a little dwarf who's over 40 but still acts like a little girl. A poor little girl whose loved one was taken away by someone else, crying and sobbing at her wedding!"

"Shut up!"

"Oh dear, you're getting impatient! Don't be so angry!"

Cheng Xing quickly dodged Judah's heavy blow, then changed her tone, speaking in a soft female voice, "Theresa, you are my best friend."

This is Cecilia's voice.

"You! You! You shameless bastard, shut up!!!"

Judah, unfold.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Manipulation

Judah transformed into a launcher, firing spears made of soul steel at Cheng Xing at such speed that it gave the illusion that they were impossible to dodge.

Cheng Xing hadn't experienced much combat, and his reaction speed wasn't particularly fast, so he easily let those long hairs pierce his body.

However, the puncture wounds were very strange; no blood flowed out.

"Sigh, I've already said that our fight is pointless. You can't hurt me. Continuing like this will only make you more exhausted."

Cheng Xing pulled the spears and chains off his body, completely ignoring the energy-suppressing fluctuations. His wounds quickly disappeared, and even his clothes returned to their original state before they were torn.

"Who exactly are you? How do you know so much about the past?"

Theresa was no longer the confused and childish girl she was in school. Instead, she became serious and focused, as if she were the warrior who faced the Second Herrscher in the snowfield back then. Now she finally had the demeanor of an S-class Valkyrie.

"who am I?"

Cheng Xing smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "He's just a nobody, a mercenary who's been paid to help. My job is to stall you here."

"Don't even think about it! The Oath of Judah, first rated power deployment!"

A pattern resembling a fantastical magic circle spread outwards from the center of Judah. ​​Although the first rated power could not completely suppress all energy fluctuations like the zero rated power, its restraining force within this small area was enough to make anyone present abandon any fantastical energy and rely solely on their physical body.

In a sense, the current Theresa is the true S-class Valkyrie.

but…………

Cheng Xing could indeed sense a fluctuation of will energy emanating from Judas, but the energy within his body remained unaffected and unchanged.

Unfortunately, while the first rated power is exaggerated, it's not suitable for Chengxing at present. Of course, the zero rated power is another story.
