"Cheng Xing! Quickly use your omnipotent materialization ability to think of a solution! If this continues, and this warship takes off, we... You can conjure up a hang glider, right?"

"Yes, we can, and we could even conjure up a fighter jet. But are you sure we won't get blown up by a single shot while we're flying in the air?"

"The only thing we can do now is to take advantage of the chaos outside while Anti-Entropy and Destiny are fighting. Otherwise, once the fighting stops, we might really have no chance."

Kiana glared at Bronya with annoyance as she spoke, but the latter had no way to evoke any emotion from her, so she could only sigh helplessly and continue running with her head down.

Unfortunately, compared to Himeko, who has served on this ship for many years, how could anyone be more familiar with it?

It didn't take long for Himeko to get around to the opposite side of the group and then block their way in front of a long corridor.

"Now you have nowhere to run, pull the plug!"

With the heavy thud of the gate hitting the ground, the only escape route behind them was also blocked.

Kiana looked at the super-strong woman in front of her, then glanced at the wall beside her, and then, a brilliant idea struck her. She shouted, "Bronya! Blow up that wall! Cheng Xing! Protect us!"

Almost the instant the words were spoken, Bronya's heavy bunny raised its cannon and launched a missile that directly bombarded the wall next to her. In an instant, Cheng Xing also created a light blue shield around everyone, blocking the debris and shockwaves from the explosion.

"My Hyperion!"

When Himeko, the captain, saw her ship being blasted open like that, she was furious and wanted nothing more than to crush those people on the ground.

But before she could rush forward, she suddenly heard something rolling on the ground. Looking down, she saw...

The blinding white light and the loud noise once again brought Himeko to a halt.

By the time Himeko regained her senses, the others had already escaped far away through the large hole blasted open nearby.

"You guys aren't getting away!"

Himeko felt she hadn't been this angry in a long time, and her blood pressure had completely spiked.

This act of bombarding the wall seemed to have opened up a new way of thinking for Kiana. Whenever there was something blocking their way, Kiana would not hesitate to order Bronya beside her to blast a path through it. Cheng Xing also protected everyone in various situations caused by the explosions.

It didn't take long for the group to reach the deck.

At this moment, there were still some Valkyries on the deck who were constantly engaged in combat with the Anti-Entropy mech forces, and they had no time to pay attention to the few people who had escaped.

"Fortunately, the ship hasn't taken off yet. Cheng Xing prepared the cushioning pads, and we jumped directly down."

However, before the group could make a move, Himeko emerged from the large hole that had been torn open behind them, her body seemingly engulfed in flames, charging out with overwhelming force.

At that moment, a rapid alarm sounded on the ship, informing everyone that the ship was to take off urgently.

"You're not going anywhere!"

Himeko, the captain of the ship, was already heartbroken and breathless from the repeated blasts that had riddled her own warship with holes. The thought of the subsequent repairs and the most troublesome part—writing reports—made her feel like she was going crazy.

"Cheng Xing! Flash her!"

Kiana didn't hesitate to have Cheng Xing use the combination of flashbang and smoke bomb again to slow down the opponent's progress.

Unfortunately, this time it didn't go so smoothly.

Himeko completely ignored the loud bang and intense flash of the flashbang, charging towards the group like an unstoppable chariot.

"There's no other way. Bronya just blasts open the deck on the ground, let's run!"

The familiar escape method allowed everyone to quickly return to the ship's interior.

Himeko was about to continue the pursuit when Anti-Entropy's mechs came to stop her. After all, the mechs left here were ordered to attack the Valkyrie of Destiny. Now that the target had appeared, these rigid mechanical programs had no reason to let it escape.

"Damn it! You annoying bastards!"

Himeko quickly cleaved the attacking mechs in two with her greatsword, but when she tried to catch up with Kiana and the others, they were already far away.

"call!"

Himeko took a deep breath, then picked up the communication device in her hand and said coldly, "I need to go to the reactor to activate the weapons."

"Yes!"

Realizing their boss was genuinely angry, the subordinates on the other end lost all interest in laughing and began unlocking the Hyperion's fusion system.

At St. Freya Academy, a white-haired little girl dressed in a nun's habit suddenly saw a verification message from the system in front of her.

"The fusion system? Did something happen to Himeko?"

Chapter 185: The Cage

While Cheng Xing was running away with everyone, he suddenly seemed to notice something and froze on the spot.

However, the three people who were moving forward did not notice Cheng Xing's abnormality, because the moment he stopped, he had already created a real phantom that followed the group forward.

He stood still, frowning as he looked in a certain direction in the distance.

"what happens?"

Kana was a little surprised that this guy had suddenly stopped. Although the illusion could deceive Kiana, who had not yet unleashed her true power, she would not be so easily fooled.

"There seemed to be a very obvious spacetime fluctuation just now. Did some creature cross time and space to come here?"

"Is it necessary to care about such a trivial matter? Similar situations have occurred countless times in these reincarnations. Travelers from other worlds have stayed here briefly before leaving. However, some people have stayed, but unfortunately, they have never been seen again in the reincarnations."

Janna had seen similar transmigrators before, but this was the first time she had met someone as special as Cheng Xing.

You can't say this guy is weak, but you can't say he's strong either. Clearly, the various energy reactions emanating from his body show that he's an ant that you could easily crush. So why is it that once you enter the consciousness space to fight against him, you're completely no match for him, and you don't even have the ability to fight back?

Regardless, it is a planetary-level Honkai Beast that has experienced a long period of time in the universe. It is impossible for its mental strength to be weaker than that of a human.

Unless this guy isn't human at all.

When Janna recalled Cheng Xing, who looked like a scarecrow in the consciousness space, she already understood that this guy was definitely a monster in human skin.

And it is extremely dangerous.

Cheng Xing then turned his gaze to the fleeing crowd, silently closed his eyes, and spoke after sensing for a while.

"Yes, they'll be going to St. Freya Academy soon, then they'll have a place to stay. Janna, aren't you going to go with her?"

Janna looked in the direction Kiana had left, hesitated for a moment, and then her figure disappeared as well, seemingly using her mental form to enter a high-speed state to catch up.

She couldn't care less what kind of schemes this stinky guy might be plotting; she just wanted to quietly watch Kiana.

After making sure no one was around, Cheng Xing slowly raised his right hand, which was as white as jade, and then cut a purple crack and stepped inside.

Meanwhile, somewhere on the other side of the city, far enough away that the chaotic sounds of battle from the Hyperion could not be heard at all, a purple rift suddenly opened.

Cheng Xing emerged from the purple crack and looked at his palm, which was as white as jade. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Only under these circumstances can I use my power. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be caught in an instant."

"Now let me see which collaboration characters have come to Honkai Impact 2 this time? Or are they from the world of familiars?"

Cheng Xing closed his eyes and began to sense any unusual phenomena in the vicinity. Before long, he discovered something strange.

"This is... a spatial rift?"

Cheng Xing stared at the spatial rift not far away, hidden in the shadows, which was as faint as a shadow but real. He felt something was strange.

"This spatial rift seems to connect to some huge space... So, does the crossover storyline take place in a reflection space? I really don't know which world this crossover is from. I haven't played many games, so I don't know which characters are involved."

Cheng Xing calmly stepped into the spatial rift. Perhaps those visitors from other worlds possessed methods that could help him improve his chances of victory.

"After all, I remember that Honkai Impact 2 had a collaboration with Madoka Magica before I transmigrated. If it is Madoka Magica who comes this time, then my chances of winning... no, even if it's not this world, even if it's Honkai Impact 3, there is still a possibility of salvation."

With a sense of anticipation for the future, Cheng Xing passed through countless spatial layers and arrived at Changkong City, which seemed like another world. However, this was just a reflection of the world. Outside Changkong City, there was chaotic spatial turbulence, and even he himself did not know where he would end up.

"So what exactly will it be... um?"

As soon as Cheng Xing appeared, he noticed an unusual character. It was a woman who looked strangely familiar and had a lot of Honkai energy on her body... No, it looked like Honkai energy, but it seemed to be different.

"I feel like I've seen this woman somewhere before. Could she be a character I know? Why can't I remember?"

Just as Cheng Xing was pondering, the woman suddenly clutched her head, seemingly in great pain, shouting that she didn't want to forget something, and then flew up and fled into the distance.

"What's going on? Never mind, they seem difficult to communicate with. Maybe we should just control them first."

As Cheng Xing thought this, she looked at the figure that was about to disappear in the distance, raised her hand, and in an instant, countless threads suddenly extended from nowhere and quickly chased after the figure that was about to escape, much faster than her.

However, the threads were blocked by a burning wall of fire. Although the flames could not stop the threads, Cheng Xing deliberately stopped their spread and looked at the newly appeared character with interest.

"As expected, although it has some similarities to Honkai energy, it is definitely not something from Honkai."

Cheng Xing looked at the red-haired girl in front of him. She seemed to be dressed in ancient clothing from the Far East or China, and she was holding a huge weapon that looked like a combination of a cannon and an axe.

The wall of flames just now seemed to be the girl's ability.

"I'm sorry to have interrupted you, but could you let me handle this?"

Although the girl said this, her tone seemed to have no doubt whatsoever, and it appeared that she had no intention of backing down on this matter.

"...Is the flow of energy within your body mostly centered around the core? This mode of operation is similar to that of the Herrschers, where most of your abilities rely on your own core."

Cheng Xing immediately recognized the crystal within the girl's body. It was like the core of a Herrscher, filled with a large amount of energy and endowing the girl with unique abilities.

"Hello, visitor from another world. I am Cheng Xing... a person with some ability and influence. May I ask how I should address you?"

"...Another world? My name is Kotori Itsuka, you can just call me Itsuka."

Upon hearing this familiar name, Cheng Xing finally remembered who the woman he had seen earlier was.

"Tohka Yatogami, Kotori Itsuka... Oh, characters from Date A Live. Come to think of it, I think I did play the first collaboration between these two IPs before I quit the game... But I vaguely remember the collaboration being in the New Generation arc, so why am I encountering it in the Retrospective arc?"

Just as Cheng Xing was puzzled, he suddenly saw a girl running towards him from a distance.

The girl had some bandages wrapped around her body, which didn't look like she was injured. Instead, they seemed to be for decoration. Combined with the chains and cross decorations on her body, it gave the impression that the girl had a kind of adolescent delusions.

Furthermore, the girl's hair also gave off a purplish-black hue.

"Penglai Temple Nine Heavens? Why is she... Holy crap! She's been tricked!"

When Cheng Xing first saw the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple, he was only surprised, but then he seemed to realize something and immediately turned around to find that the space tunnel that could communicate with the outside world not far away had been closed.

In other words, this place has become a place where you can neither get in nor get out...

cage.

Chapter 186: Predicament

"System! Answer me immediately, tell me whether you did this or not?"

However, instead of hearing that familiar voice, there was only the usual deathly silence in my mind.

At this moment, Cheng Xing felt extremely irritable. From childhood to adulthood, whenever he decided to do something and was determined to carry it out seriously, no matter what unexpected events occurred that caused the plan to change and make it impossible to carry it out, it would make him very annoyed and irritable.
