Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

"She's Cecilia's daughter?" Seeing her "sister" in the dream so young and naive, standing before her in a daze, Xilin was completely stunned. Turning around, Xilin looked at Fu You in astonishment, very puzzled.

"Also, why did you bring her here?" "I came here because I missed my mother. Does Sister Xilin know where my mother is?" Without waiting for Fu You to speak, Kiana spoke timidly.

"She... uh..." Hearing this, Xilin paused. She knew Cecilia had been trapped in a dream after being defeated by Fuyou. But Xilin didn't want to tell Kiana directly about this matter, which was too heavy for her. Xilin knew only too well the feeling of suddenly losing the arms that protected her from the wind and rain. Looking bitterly at Kiana, who was full of expectation, Xilin cast a pleading look at Fuyou.

"Kiana, come with me, I'll take you to see Cecilia."

Seeing this, Fu You gently put his arm around Kiana's shoulders and led her into the tower.

"Your mother defeated many Honkai beasts here. She is now exhausted and asleep. When you see her later, remember not to wake her up."

As they walked, Fu You talked to Kiana.

"You're worthy of being my mother!" After hearing Cecilia's record, Kiana was immediately overjoyed, her eyes full of longing.

"If it's mom... she should be able to defeat the big monster Chiyou, right?" Looking at Fu You, Kiana asked hopefully.

"Haha, maybe?" Seeing Kiana so innocent and cute, Fu You couldn't help but ask.

"What happens after defeating Chi You? What's your dream, Kiana?" "Dream? Well... I want to become the strongest Valkyrie like my mother!" With her hands on her hips, Kiana looked very proud.

"What a great dream, I wish you success."

Fu You nodded and opened the door of a laboratory.

"Okay, your mother will rest in there, remember not to wake her up."

"Well, thank you!" Kiana happily hugged Fuyou, ran in happily, snuggled up to Cecilia, and felt the warmth of her mother.

"Is this why Chi Yuan likes to take in disciples?" Fu You muttered to himself, recalling all the aspects of Kiana's innocence. He suddenly understood why Chi Yuan, even after losing his memory, hadn't changed his habit of taking in disciples. After all... Fu You looked at Kiana, thinking secretly. Who could refuse a cute little cub? Chi Yuan was facing little Cheng Lixue, who was even more pitiful and helpless than Kiana. Her fall was inevitable. Without interrupting the reunion between mother and daughter, Fu You slowly walked out of the Tower of Babylon.

"You are quite helpful and even found the daughter of the man."

Seeing Fu You arrive at the door of the Tower of Babel, Xilin stared at Fu You with a complicated expression.

"What? Are you worried that Kiana will take your place? Don't think I don't know. Before I came back, you stayed by Cecilia's side the whole time."

Looking at Xilin with disdain, Fu You quipped, finally understanding the meaning of saying one thing and doing another. Yu Duchen was connected to Cecilia's consciousness, and Fu You could observe the outside world through her—for example, while observing on the road, Fu You saw a purple pufferfish that had been clinging to Cecilia while he was away.

"What? What? I don't understand what you are saying..." Xilin panicked immediately, looked away guiltily, and spoke stubbornly.

"I was just worried that your dream couldn't trap her, so I stayed by her side to prevent that woman from breaking free!" "So, in order to prevent Cecilia from breaking free, you kept holding her and refused to let go?" Pretending not to understand, Fu You spoke with interest.

"Indeed, this is a simple and effective method..." "Wa ...

"No! No! It's not what you said!" Poor Xilin was incoherent, and the dignity of the queen was shattered to the ground.

Unlike the calm atmosphere at the Tower of Babylon, the battle at the Destiny Headquarters is in full swing.

"Little guy, we meet again."

The sharp-eyed Bella saw Theresa carrying Judas to support her, and instantly flashed in front of her and spoke slowly.

"Last time, you got carried away because of that woman with the lance. Don't even think about it this time!" "Little... dwarf..." Hearing this, Theresa was stunned for a moment, then she became furious, pointing the Judas at Bella, gritting her teeth.

"Damn it! Who are you humiliating?!" "Strange human."

Seeing this, Bella shook her head. She was clearly telling the truth, so why did this guy look like he wanted to tear her apart? However, Bella didn't want to care about that at the moment.

"The Queen will be very happy if I defeat you!" Bella muttered to herself, staring at Theresa in front of her, eager to try.

Chapter 72 Broken Wings

"Judas!" Without further ado with the young girl-like Honkai Beast before her, Theresa launched the first attack, snaking dozens of chains straight at Bella. Having suffered a setback the previous time, Bella didn't transform into a dragon, but instead, in human form, nimbly weaving between Judas's chains. With a faint blue lightning flash, Bella swung a punch at Theresa.

"Bang--" Theresa quickly placed Judas in front of her chest, blocking Bella's attack, but she was also shocked by the remaining force and retreated repeatedly.

"Damn it..." Theresa glared at Bella fiercely, rushed up again and started fighting with Bella.

"You can't beat me, little dwarf..." Facing Theresa's angry gaze, Bella sneered fearlessly. But the next moment, she couldn't laugh anymore.

"Mimicry Xuanyuan Sword."

A plain male voice sounded, and in an instant, countless golden lights pierced through Bella's chest, who was unable to dodge.

"Ahhh——" Bella was caught off guard and half-knelt on the ground in pain.

"How could this be, how is this possible..." Bella looked at the blond man walking towards her in horror, feeling extremely unlucky.

"Mimicry: Yu Duchen."

Without giving Bella a chance to recover, Otto chose to press on. As he spoke softly, a few golden feathers fluttered before Bella, who was kneeling on the ground. The next moment, Bella could no longer hold on and fell straight down, her pupils dilated.

"Grandpa?!" Theresa was shocked to see Bella falling in front of Otto with lifeless eyes. She never expected that Otto would appear here and defeat Bella in front of him.

"Don't let up, keep cleaning up the battlefield, Theresa."

After helping the unconscious Bella up, Otto turned around and gave her some instructions, then left without looking back.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have to worry about how to get the bargaining chip to face the Second Herrscher."

Looking at the unconscious Bella, Otto smiled and muttered to himself.

"Haha, the God of Honkai... it really makes my heart surge."

Outside the Tower of Babel, Xilin was restless. Just now, she had lost contact with Bella. Suddenly, she sensed a strange presence.

"Who?!" Xilin turned around and shouted, but saw a clown-like guy standing behind her and looking at her quietly.

"Miss Second Herrscher, I mean no harm."

The clown-like figure raised his hands to indicate that he was not a threat and bowed slightly to show his friendliness.

"Let me introduce myself... I am Otto Apocalis, the current Bishop of Heaven's Destiny. Young lady, I believe you are looking for your loyal companion. She is with me now."

"Bastard...what did you do to Bella!" Upon hearing the other party's name, Xilin was furious and wished she could tear the clown into pieces right now.

"This is just an ordinary body of mine. If you wish, it's no big deal to destroy it."

As if he knew what Xilin was thinking, Otto spoke slowly.

"I simply wish to gain the opportunity to ask questions of the gods through Miss Second Herrscher, thus fulfilling my long-cherished wish."

"Once the deal is done, I will release Miss Bella and will never again try to stop the spread of the Honkai."

"By the way, don't try to get your partner to use Yu Duchen's power, or my soul steel body will instantly self-destruct."

"Also, the Simulated Feather Duchen, which was holding Miss Bella's consciousness captive, also self-destructed. Miss Xilin, please consider this carefully."

The clown in front of her reminded her, but before Xilin could answer, the clown's soul steel body fell to the ground and broke into pieces, leaving only the last sentence.

"I will personally bring Miss Bella to the Tower of Babylon. Miss Xilin, please feel free to give me some advice."

"You..." Xilin was furious. This was the first time she'd been verbally manipulated. She pointed at the debris, then dropped her finger. Seeing this, Xilin immediately thought of Fu You. Without hesitation, Xilin headed inside the Tower of Babylon. She wanted to discuss countermeasures with her most reliable partner.

After a long journey, Kiana fell asleep beside Cecilia not long after seeing her mother. Seeing Kiana sleeping peacefully, Fu You kindly constructed a beautiful dream for the white-haired girl - in which Kiana became the strongest Valkyrie, then traveled to Shenzhou to defeat Chi You and obtain the legendary treasure of King Houmu.

"Hehe, you are indeed a child..." Seeing the smile on Kiana's lips, Fu You also smiled kindly.

"No...something's wrong..." After carrying Kiana to the bed and covering her with the quilt, Fu You quietly walked out, but ran into the hurried Xilin head-on.

"Bella was captured by the people of destiny!" Seeing Fu You, Xilin felt like she saw a savior.

"What? Don't worry, tell me exactly what happened?" Hearing this, Fu You frowned and asked while trying to comfort the flustered Xilin. After organizing her words, Xilin told Fu You what had just happened and all the requests made by the clown.

"...I shouldn't have let Bella go alone, and I shouldn't have stopped you from helping her!" Celine regretted it immensely, ripping at her hair in frustration. But it was too late. Bella had been captured, and Otto had insisted on meeting Celine by name, going so far as to say, "God."

"No, it's not your fault. It was our mistake."

Shaking his head, Fu You glared grimly in the direction of Tian Ming. Bella's failure had served as a wake-up call for him. After defeating Chi Yuan, Fu You felt unprecedented relief, believing that nothing in this world could threaten him. However, it was this complacency that caused Fu You to overlook a crucial point: indeed, with Fu You's current strength, there were indeed few forces that could directly threaten him. But he forgot that those who, in his eyes, were as weak as ants, like Theresa, though unable to harm him in the slightest, could exploit Bella's weaknesses and inflict fatal damage.

"But...but what should we do now?" Xilin was so confused that she almost lost her composure, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. Looking at Fu You, who was lost in thought beside her, Xilin immediately asked.

"We absolutely cannot lose Bella! You must have a way, right?" "Wait here for the so-called Bishop of Destiny to bring Bella over. Send Agatha and the other two to guard the surroundings. As for me... I will go and take control of the Destiny headquarters."

A gloom appeared in Fu You's eyes, and he already had a plan in his mind.

"The Bishop of Heaven's Fate is definitely not someone you can get along with easily. Don't believe anything he says. If you can't defeat him, just run away when the situation gets bad. Don't hesitate."

While instructing Xilin, Fu You also prepared to go to Tianming headquarters.

"Don't worry about Bella's safety. After I enter the floating island, if he dares to hurt Bella, I will destroy the entire Destiny!" As he spoke, a fierce look flashed across Fu You's face. Otto came prepared and was definitely prepared for an ambush. Instead of risking Bella getting hurt by attacking Otto, it would be better to take advantage of the opportunity and directly attack the Destiny headquarters. The Archbishop of Destiny didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, but Fu You didn't believe that Otto could remain indifferent to the Destiny he had built up with his own hands. What's more, Fu You witnessed Otto overthrowing the old Destiny step by step, starting from adopting orphans. He didn't believe that in the eyes of the other party, asking questions to that illusory "God" could be more important than the entire Destiny.

Chapter 73 Conspiracy

Sky's headquarters. With Bella defeated by Otto, the remaining large group of Honkai beasts were leaderless and were quickly driven off the floating island by Sky's forces. Watching the surrounding troops cheering, Theresa did not feel relieved at all. She knew that Bella's threat was actually nothing. The truly terrifying thing was that the Second Herrscher and her powerful companion did not appear in the battle to attack Sky's headquarters. They only sent a Bella. It is hard not to imagine that the Second Herrscher has a bigger conspiracy? "Lady Theresa, Kiana is missing."

Seeing the Honkai beasts retreat, Theresa just breathed a sigh of relief, but then she saw Amber walking towards her with a serious expression.

"W...what?!" Theresa was shocked when she heard this and couldn't believe what she heard.

"How is that possible? Kiana is under heavy protection, how could she possibly disappear?" "Intelligence shows that after you left Lady Cecilia's house, Kiana secretly climbed over the wall and left. The surveillance personnel who tried to stop her disappeared mysteriously, and the surveillance cameras along the way were also destroyed."

Amber said as she looked at Theresa's increasingly worse expression.

"Preliminary estimates suggest this was a premeditated interception. Many people from the Shaniyat and Kaslana family's bloodlines were probably secretly watching, but we didn't expect them to succeed this time."

"Damn you! Please don't let me find you..." Theresa gnashed with hatred, her teeth clenching tightly. For some reason, the dark scene at the bottom of the Tower of Babylon resurfaced in Theresa's mind. The thought of weak, pitiful Kiana enduring such inhuman torture broke Theresa's heart. ...Unlike Theresa's imagination, in the Tower of Babylon, Kiana was still dreaming of her heroic dreams.

"That's right, I defeated Chiyou... and reclaimed King Hom's treasure... I've surpassed my mother!" Kiana muttered in her sleep, giggling foolishly. She rolled over and continued to snore. ... "By the way, Siegfried doesn't know about this yet, right?" Theresa asked hurriedly, her terrifying reverie pausing as a sudden memory struck her.

"Lord Siegfried is still recuperating in the medical department and is currently unaware of Kiana's disappearance."

Amber answered honestly, and the second person she told was Theresa.

"Sister Amber, you must not tell Siegfried about Kiana's disappearance!" "Cecilia's kidnapping has almost devastated him. If he finds out that Kiana is missing, he will go crazy!" Theresa suppressed her inner anxiety and told Amber. She couldn't imagine how desperate Siegfried would be after losing his wife and daughter in such a short time.

"Well, I will."

Amber understood and nodded. Even she felt sympathy for the poor man Siegfried.

On the other side, inside the anti-entropy base.

"Dr. Einstein, it's great to see you again."

Gray Snake, familiar with the place, once again entered Einstein's laboratory without being noticed and greeted him with a familiar air. After their initial contact and a series of probing attempts, Einstein decided to agree to the mysterious man's so-called "cooperation."

"Doctor, the followers of the Second Herrscher led a tide of Honkai beasts to wreak havoc across most of Europe, but Anti-Entropy did nothing. Why is that?" Gray Snake asked curiously. Logically speaking, even if they had lost their leader, Anti-Entropy should not be like this, doing nothing in the face of the spread of Honkai.

"You should know that if the Second Herrscher isn't destroyed, sending more people to stop the Honkai beasts will only result in more casualties." "The Honkai beasts won't be destroyed. Instead, they will become more numerous due to the Second Herrscher's strength."

Without looking up, Einstein continued to fiddle with the things in his hands.
