Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

Fu You spoke coldly, but did not continue to attack. He wanted to hear what Chi Yuan wanted to say.

"I don't want to fight you. As long as you leave, I won't make things difficult for you."

Shaking her head, Fu Hua still wanted to persuade Fu You to leave, but she didn't know that she was adding fuel to the fire.

"That's unfortunate. I've secured the title of Second Herrscher. If you're not convinced, just defeat me."

Seeing Fu Hua evasive, Fu You laughed in anger. Putting aside the long-standing feud between him and Fu Hua, just considering the agreement he had long ago with Xilin, how could Fu You allow his enemy to attack his companions? "And don't brag! I'm stronger than you now, so it's not your turn to embarrass me!" "...I know I was wrong before, and you harbor resentment towards me, but now is not the time to dwell on personal grudges, even if it's for the sake of protecting Shenzhou."

Fu Hua also knew that she was in the wrong, but the most important thing for her right now was to deal with the Second Herrscher, and she shouldn't waste her energy on Fu You, so she still tried to persuade Fu You.

"Hehe... Shenzhou? Isn't that a one-man show for you, the immortal? I, a mere Honkai beast, can't afford to take on that responsibility."

Interrupting Fu Hua, Fu You gritted his teeth and asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time and was almost becoming his inner demon.

"I just want to ask you one question. Why did you backstab me back then?" "Honestly, how have I ever wronged Shenzhou? Just because I'm a Honkai beast, I deserve to die? Huh?!" "I..." Hearing this, Fu Hua was speechless. She lowered her head, unsure what to say. She had been influenced by the Divine Sound, so whenever she saw anything Honkai-related, whether it was a possessed human or a Honkai beast, she would instinctively eliminate it. But the influence of the Divine Sound was more than she could explain. She felt that if she said she attacked Fu You involuntarily, he would probably be even more angry.

"As expected, you're afraid I'll shake your supreme position, so you're thinking of eliminating dissidents, right? Answer me, Chi Yuan!" Fu You's eyes were filled with rage. At first, he had even thought he could continue to walk with Chi Yuan, Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu and the others on the same path. In the end, only Cang Xuan still trusted him. Even Dan Zhu obeyed Chi Yuan's instructions and became his opponent.

"No, that's not the case... For the sake of humanity's fate, can you please let this past go for now? I promise I'll give you a satisfactory answer later."

Fu Hua promised, but her words seemed so pale in Fu You's eyes.

"It's like this again... It's for the fate of mankind again..." Seeing that the other party was hesitating and unwilling to even say a word of surrender, and was still full of big talk until now, Fu You was completely heartbroken.

"Save these principles for when you're down there, discussing them with Ji Lin and the others!" With a roar, Fu You's entire body was instantly engulfed by the appearance of a Honkai Beast. The next moment, filled with murderous intent, he charged towards Fu Hua once again. Seeing the negotiations break down, Fu Hua could only prepare for another fight.

While Fu You and Fu Hua were locked in a fierce battle, Xilin's other two Pseudo-Herrsers were also in a bad situation. The Pseudo-Wind Herrsers were pinned down by the artillery on the ground and hadn't noticed the potential danger above the clouds.

"Lady Cecilia, please seize the opportunity. In fifteen seconds, you will be directly above the target, approximately 500 meters above the ground."

Always keeping an eye on the coordinates of the Pseudo-Herrserker of the Wind, A-rank Valkyrie Kirara Shigure reports real-time information.

"Got it, Shigure Kirara. Just watch me from now on."

Cecilia smiled confidently, picked up the Black Abyss White Flower beside her, and slowly walked to the transport ship's hatch. Meanwhile, Aurora, now in the center of the storm, felt a sense of unease. Looking at the humans on the ground, their futile attacks, Aurora suddenly felt that she had been overthinking things.

"In just a little while, my storm will crush you all like ants."

Aurora was complacent, enjoying the sense of security brought by the high altitude and hurricane.

"Wait... what's that?" Suddenly, Aurora caught a glimpse of a streak of light approaching from the sky. She quickly closed her eyes, sensing the message carried by the object on the wind... The outline became clearer, and Aurora realized with a start—it was a human figure.

"Damn it! Cunning human, you are seeking your own death!" Still in fear, Aurora immediately attacked upwards. For a moment, countless wind blades slashed towards Cecilia.

"...Have we been discovered?" Seeing this, Cecilia seemed to have expected it.

"In that case, let's start the battle from now on!" After capturing Aurora's position, Cecilia drew her lance in mid-air.

"Go, Heiyuan!" Cecilia shouted, and the lance in her hand flew towards Aurora like lightning. In an instant, before the other party could react, Heiyuan accurately pierced Aurora.

"How... is it possible..." Her pupils suddenly dilated, and Aurora looked at her pierced chest in horror.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh..." Aurora cried out in despair, but her whole body fell uncontrollably towards the ground.

"Done!" Cecilia smiled easily. She could easily deal with such a pseudo-herrscher. However, at this critical moment, a flash of flame illuminated the sky.

"Aurora!" Agatha arrived in time and grabbed Aurora.

"A Pseudo-Herrser who uses fire? Isn't she here?" Cecilia frowned mid-air at the sudden change in her plan, but didn't say much. After all, for this supremely powerful S-rank Valkyrie, whether facing one or two Pseudo-Herrserkers, she was no match.

ps: The author has a brain injury and remembered Aurora and Agata the wrong way. Aurora is the pseudo-wind and Agata is the pseudo-fire. Wait for me and I will change it back immediately.

Chapter 46: Fighting on Three Fronts

"Damn it..." Agata, clutching Aurora, fled without hesitation. She had just witnessed firsthand the terrifying power of the woman in the air. If she had instantly killed Aurora, then killing herself would be no problem. The usually unruly Agata, after encountering these two monsters, Fu Hua and Cecilia, was forced to retreat.

"White Flower!" Seeing Agatha attempting to flee with Aurora, Cecilia hurled her other lance. The moment the White Flower touched the ground, a glint of light shone, and emerald green vines suddenly erupted from the earth, growing rapidly like nimble snakes, towering into the sky in mere seconds. Cecilia nimbly leaped onto the vines, taking the Black Abyss offered by the vine branches and controlling their direction, sprinting after the two Pseudo-Herrs.

"It's never going to end, is it?!" Seeing Cecilia's relentless pursuit, Agata was furious, eager to fight her to the death right now. But sensing Aurora's increasingly weak breath in her arms, Agata gritted her teeth and continued to flee. Seeing the distance between them gradually widening, Cecilia stopped. Agata breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, she realized something was wrong.

"Black Abyss!" Cecilia shouted, and Black Abyss shot out from her hand again like a lightning bolt.

"No—" Agata's hair stood on end, her pupils shrinking. By the time she reacted, it was too late. At that moment, she could even see the tip of Heiyuan's spear. Just before Agata was about to be pierced, a crack suddenly opened in front of her. A hand condensed with Houkai energy instantly knocked Heiyuan away. Then, another hand reached out from the crack and snatched Agata and Aurora in.

"What?!" Cecilia was shocked, looking warily at the rift filled with high concentrations of Houkai energy. However, the other party seemed to have no intention of engaging Cecilia. After kidnapping Agatha and Aurora, the spatial rift instantly closed, as if it had never existed.

"Did the Second Herrscher take action? But why didn't she show up in person?" Standing on the vines, Cecilia fell into deep thought.

"Mrs. Cecilia is mighty!" the troops below cheered. Cecilia, the strongest S-rank Valkyrie, had once again saved them from danger. Aurora left the area, and the violent storm dissipated. The clouds vanished from the sky, revealing the long-lost warm sunshine.

Unlike the exhilarated Skyward Brigade, Xilin was now in a state of panic. Aurora's vital signs had briefly weakened, and she had fortunately dispatched Agata for reinforcement. However, Xilin hadn't anticipated how Agata nearly died, ultimately forcing her to personally rescue them both.

"What two idiots..." Xilin's face turned ugly. How difficult is it to beat a human? Before she became a perfect Herrscher, she could kill everyone in the laboratory. When she just became a single-core Herrscher, she could defeat Theresa and even fight Walter on equal terms. But Agata and Aurora were chased and beaten by a human, and almost lost their lives there. They didn't behave like Herrschers at all. I heard that Agata said that Fuyou was fighting now and couldn't be contacted. Bella was still guarding the Tower of Babylon. For a while, Xilin was in an awkward situation with no one available. As for showing up in person? Xilin felt that it was an insult to her identity as an apostle of God. Besides, she felt that the existing companions were enough to deal with humans.

"How about letting Galina come back?" Xilin lowered her head, pondering. She hadn't imagined that Galina, a pseudo-death hersr, would also be in trouble. ……… Novosibirsk. The once bustling city was shrouded in a vast, eerie black fog. Overnight, the usual bustle was gone, and a deathly silence reigned.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." In the center of the black fog, looking at Amber lying on the ground, Galina kept apologizing.

"If I let you escape, the Queen will be furious. I'm truly sorry..." "Uh... ah..." Amber struggled mightily. After Galina's attack, she felt her life force draining away. "Lord Otto, I can no longer serve you..." Nearing unconsciousness, Amber thought of that man. Seeing Amber's dwindling vitality, Galina didn't harm her. She simply stood by and watched.

"Mimicry: Black Abyss White Flower."

At this moment, a gentle voice was heard, and at the same time, a golden light appeared not far away, instantly dispelling the surrounding black fog.

"My fog... why did my fog disappear?" Seeing her "weapon" ineffective, Galina didn't know what to do. She could only fold her arms around her shoulders and tremble in the corner. Then, a blond man slowly approached.

"Lord Otto..." Seeing the visitor, Amber lowered her head guiltily, because she had not completed the task, causing the bishop to take action in person. This was her dereliction of duty.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Otto helped Amber up and spoke kindly, handing her a brand new mask.

"You are seriously injured. Go back to headquarters to recover. As for me, I will have a good chat with this beautiful lady first."

"Yes..." Amber agreed, donning her mask and wandering off. Watching Amber's departure, Otto looked at the Pseudo-Herrserker before him, looking like a frightened little animal, and couldn't help but feel a little intrigued. This was the first time he'd seen such a cowardly Pseudo-Herrserker... but that was all to the good; at least it would make his goal easier to achieve. With this thought in mind, Otto smiled and extended his hand to Galina.

"My name is Otto Apokalis, and I'm delighted to meet you here, beautiful lady."

The Kipchak steppes, bordering the Aral Sea. The sounds of airbursts and roars intertwined, and from time to time, dazzling bursts of fire could be seen. The entire land was almost completely corroded by Honkai energy, and the air was filled with a pale pink mist, almost indistinguishable from the first scene of the Great Honkai. The forces of Tianming had long since retreated, and the grasslands were now a deadly place where even the most ordinary people would die. Even a common Valkyrie could not guarantee survival in the relentless aftermath of the battle. Fu Hua and Fu You had been battling for a long time, both sides were truly furious.

"You've revealed a flaw, Chi Yuan!" Fu You caught the other party's negligence the moment Fu Hua urged the phoenix shadow to fall from the sky.

"Puff..." With a sinister grin, Fu You pierced the opponent's abdomen with one claw, and blood splattered instantly. In a very short time, another sharp claw slashed towards Fu Hua's chest, and the tail also rushed towards the opponent's head. Fu Hua dodged to the side, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She knew that if it was a protracted battle, she would definitely not be Fu You's opponent with her greatly reduced strength. So Fu Hua prepared to take risks and find a chance to win. And now, Fu You, who was only focused on attacking and ignored defense, had created an opportunity for himself.

"Inch force, rock breaking!" With an angry shout, Fu Hua's fist flashed by and instantly hit Fu You's heart.

Chapter 47 Survival

"Sorry, I have to go and defeat the Second Herrscher."

Fu Hua spoke with a hint of guilt and put away her fist. Her goal was to get Fu You to move aside quickly. If she didn't stop the Second Herrscher in time, the consequences would be disastrous. Fu Hua knew that Fu You had a heart that specifically stored Honkai energy. Even if the opponent was now in human form, the heart would not disappear. As long as the heart was broken, Fu You would fall into weakness. After losing his combat effectiveness, the opponent would be unable to stop her... Although this might lead to further intensification of the conflict between the two sides, in order to quickly eliminate the Second Herrscher, Fu Hua no longer cared about so much. Wait, the sound of the core ruptured did not come... Fu Hua turned around suddenly, but found that Fu You had a look of success on his face, and he had flashed to her side without knowing when.

"You..." Fu Hua was horrified to find that Fu You, who had taken her full-strength attack head-on, seemed to be fine at this moment, and was even looking at her jokingly.

"Heh... Do you think I haven't made any progress in these thousands of years?" Looking at Fu Hua with disdain, Fu You sneered, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Also, I told you, you've become weaker, Chi Yuan!" Before he could finish his words, Fu You launched a claw attack, showing no mercy. Due to the close distance, Fu Hua couldn't dodge and could only raise her arm to block the attack.

"Bang—" Clearly, competing in pure numerical prowess with a thousand-year-old Honkai beast was unwise. Fu Hua was sent flying by Fu You like a kite with its string cut. A visible blast of air erupted behind her, carrying her body rapidly backwards.

"Cough cough..." Fu Hua coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood as she crawled out of the pit in a panic. However, due to the terrifying self-healing ability brought to her by the Garuda factor in her body, the injuries caused by Fu You were all healed in an instant.

"Where is your Taixu Sword God? Is it because you are too weak to use it now?" Fu You asked provocatively. He wanted to defeat Fu Hua when she used her strongest move and completely shatter her arrogance as an immortal.

"..." Fu Hua remained silent. Her own killer move would also cause irreversible memory loss, so she wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary. As they spoke, Fu You and Fu Hua once again assumed combat stances, eyeing each other warily, their thoughts aligning. This Chi Yuan fellow is truly difficult to kill... (After thousands of years, Chi You's vitality has become even stronger...)

Elsewhere, Otto looked at the timid Herrscher of Death before him, and a decision was already made. This blond man... looked terrifying... Galina looked at Otto timidly, her body involuntarily shrinking back.

"Are you scared?" Seeing that the other party was still on guard, Otto slowly put down the Mimic Black Abyss White Flower and waved his hand to indicate that he was not a threat.

"No, don't come over..." Galina stepped back repeatedly, her eyes full of fear.

"Don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions, and I'm here to help you."

Otto quickly showed kindness to Galina.

"Help... me?" Galina pointed at herself, her eyes full of confusion.

"Yes, all the life around you will be corroded by the fog you bring. You don't want that, do you?" Seeing that the other party was wavering, Otto struck while the iron was hot.

"My granddaughter is about your age. I believe you are both kind-hearted girls... By the way, this is for you. My granddaughter likes it very much."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Otto quickly took out a Hom doll from his pocket. Looking at Galina's eager eyes, Otto handed it to her kindly.

"So cute..." This time, Galina didn't resist, her eyes sparkling as she took the Hoom doll. Otto smiled faintly, one step closer to success. He had no idea what was so special about the yellow bunny, but having heard that children loved it, Otto decided to give it a try. To his surprise, it actually worked.

"Ah!" Galina screamed. The Hoom doll was completely eroded the moment it touched her fingertips.

"I'm sorry, I broke it..." Galina lowered her head, discouraged and didn't dare to look at Otto again.

"What a poor child..." Otto looked compassionate as he walked to Galina's side and spoke seductively.

"It's okay. I'll help you. Just a little cooperation..." "Galina, Aurora is seriously injured. Return to the Tower of Babylon!" Just as Otto saw Galina let down her guard and was about to use Mimic Feather Duchen to hypnotize the innocent girl, Xilin's voice suddenly rang out in Galina's mind. Suddenly, Galina came to her senses and took a few steps back at the approaching Otto.

"I'm sorry, I, I have to leave..." Without waiting for Otto's response, Galina disappeared.

"..." Seeing his plan fail, Otto clenched his fists and remained silent. He didn't pursue Galina, knowing that would be counterproductive. His Soulsteel body was still a bit too much for defeating the Herrscher head-on. He had already gained the girl's trust, and he was just one step away from completely hypnotizing her and studying the principles of the Herrscher of Death. He hadn't expected his plan, which was about to be realized, to be thwarted by Xilin.

"That Fu Hua... didn't she tell her to immediately contain the Second Herrscher after defeating the Pseudo-Flame Herrscher? Could there be some unexpected twist?" Otto's face grimaced, but he anticipated his old friend might be in trouble. Given his character, he'd never treat matters concerning humanity as a joke. But he couldn't immediately imagine who could stop the former Red Kite Sage. Even though his power had declined significantly, he still stood at the top of the world.

"Interesting..." Otto remained undeterred, slowly putting away his Void Treasure. After Galina left, the black fog that had filled the city gradually dissipated.

"On February 2000, 2 AD, Otto Apokalis, the Destined Bishop, fought fiercely alone against the enemy, successfully repelling the Pseudo-Hermaphrodites and retaking the city that once belonged to humanity."

Otto whispered that based on the principle of maximizing benefits, although Galina was not captured, it would be good to increase his reputation.

With all sides engaged in a fierce battle, and with high-end combat power in short supply, one powerful figure remained idle. Ever since choosing to partner with Anti-Entropy, Otto had intentionally or unintentionally ignored Siegfried. Even when Destiny chose to launch an all-out war against the Second Herrscher, he failed to assign Siegfried any missions. Seeing everyone else contributing their strength to the fight against the Honkai, Siegfried felt deeply frustrated. Furthermore, his return from the Moon, a fruitless mission, intensified his guilt. Though no one blamed him, the judgment of Siegfried's own conscience threatened to destroy this man of the Kaslana family.

"Siegfried..." Suddenly, Einstein found Siegfried.

"Doctor?" Siegfried was slightly startled. Could it be that he could finally go into battle? "Don't worry, Doctor. I, Siegfried, am the best at fighting Honkai. Just leave any combat missions to me!" Fearing that the other party would hesitate, Siegfried quickly volunteered.

"No, it's not a combat mission."

Einstein shook his head, then looked straight at Siegfried and asked.

"Siegfried, would you like to go to the moon again?"
