Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

"No, block all intelligence and announce to the public that we dealt the final blow to the Second Herrscher."

"Then, launch a Houkai fission bomb towards the Babylon area."

A gloomy look appeared on Otto's handsome face. He would never allow such a dangerous and uncertain factor to appear in his plan. Although Cecilia was still in the Babylon area, Otto would rather let her be buried with Siegfried than let Siegfried, who was beyond his control, survive.

"Siegfried, you dangerous guy, just die in Siberia!" Otto muttered to himself as he watched Amber walk away, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

After being shot down by the silver bullet, Bella was seriously injured and fell powerlessly in the snow. Fortunately, although Bella was covered in scars, her pseudo-herrscher core was still intact and had not been shattered.

"I can't die... or the Queen will be sad..." Bella, severely injured and unable to move, stubbornly stared in the direction of Xilin's fall, attempting to crawl to the Queen's side. However, Bella saw a faint figure approaching in the distance. Who else could have found this place besides the group of men in black? Despairing, Bella gave up struggling and lay there, ready to be slaughtered.

"Bella, I'm here."

Bella's eyes lit up when she heard the familiar voice.

"Senior...the Queen is in danger, please go and save her!" Regardless of her poor physical condition, Bella was still worried about her Queen.

"I've already rescued Celine, so don't worry, Bella."

Fu You took out the Honkai energy crystal and spoke slowly.

"Now, I will heal your wounds, then find Aurora and the others, and leave here together."

Watching the Honkai Energy Crystal completely deplete, Fu You suddenly sensed something strange. It seemed like this crystal was the reason he'd decided to help Xilin, but in the end, why hadn't he used it at all? However, using it on Bella, his junior, was worth it. After all, it had been years since the Honkai Beast had seen a rising star of both power and intelligence.

"Your Majesty...where is she now?" Bella asked pitifully after being healed and transformed into human form again.

"right here."

Fu You opened his hands, and a scarlet feather floated quietly. In Bella's puzzled eyes, Fu You slowly spoke.

"Xilin was severely injured, but fortunately I have preserved her consciousness. We only need a new carrier to bring her back to the world."

Looking at Bella's happy eyes, Fu You added something else.

"However, Xilin has lost her Herrscher power, and the current situation is unstable, so she cannot be released for the time being."

"Aurora and the others are about to arrive. Although they are a little late, it's just right for us to go together..." Looking at the three black dots in the distant sky, Fu You nodded.

"Sorry, we are late!" Aurora, Agata and Galina landed from the air, looked at Fuyou and Bella, and lowered their heads guiltily.

"It's okay. Or rather, because you guys are late, I have the chance to free myself and save Xilin."

Fu You sighed softly. Even though these three little ones didn't help at all, at least they didn't hold him back, so he didn't have to run around too hard.

"By the way, where are Cecilia and Kiana?" Remembering his method of solving Shenzhou's Honkai energy, Fu You asked about the whereabouts of Cecilia and her daughter.

"The Queen asked me to take them from the tower, and I hid them somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, Aurora immediately replied.

"Very good, then we..." Fu You nodded approvingly at Aurora, about to say something when he was interrupted by a casual glance upwards. A brilliant ball of light, from afar, was slowly hurtling towards the Babylon region—Otto's Honkai fission bomb. ... "What the hell is this bastard trying to do?!" Walter gritted his teeth as he gazed at the Honkai fission bomb in the sky. The scene reminded him of the tragedy that had occurred on Thanksgiving Day that year. The Great Honkai was clearly over, yet Otto had chosen this moment to launch a fission bomb, clearly harboring ulterior motives. ... "Otto, are you crazy?!" Siegfried abruptly stood up, incredulous. Cecilia and Kiana were still there, and yet Otto had actually launched a fission bomb.

"Damn it..." Siegfried picked up the Skyfire, his eyes determined, ready. ... Fu Hua slowly woke up, looking at the fission bomb coming from the sky, feeling a mixture of emotions.

"Otto, is this your choice?"... "Brother... another sun appeared in the sky..." On the edge of Siberia, a girl pointed at the ball of light in the sky and spoke weakly.

"Natasha, hold on... We'll be out of here soon!" The boy's face, etched with the marks of Houkai energy, struggled to carry the blonde girl forward, ignoring her words and muttering to himself. ... Fu You knew that letting the Houkai fission bomb fall or detonating it mid-flight would be unfeasible. He would be fine, but Bella and the others would be seriously injured, and Cecilia and her daughter, whose whereabouts were unknown, would undoubtedly die.

"Bishop of Heaven's Destiny, I truly regret not killing you the moment you fled back to Europe, begging for mercy from the Red Kite Immortal!" Fu You looked at the ball of light in the sky with a flicker of annoyance. Cursing, he leaped high into the air, charging straight toward the Honkai fission bomb.

"Senior!" Bella exclaimed, and Aurora and the others panicked. Fu You, however, ignored the situation and grabbed the fission bomb mid-air. At this moment, the fission bomb was on the verge of exploding, even emitting a faint glow. Now, Fu You's every move determined the fate of everyone in Siberia. Fu You had originally planned to carry it high into the sky and detonate it, but seeing the fission bomb buzzing, as if it would explode at any moment, he decided to change his approach.

"Gulu."

Then, with the sound of swallowing, everyone was shocked to find that the sky had darkened again. The second "sun" over Siberia disappeared. Moreover, many people vaguely saw the figure of a giant beast. ... "It tastes good."

——From a certain Judgment-level Honkai beast that wishes to remain anonymous.

"Your Excellency, the Honkai fission bomb has been intercepted."

Amber reported in the bishop's office.

"...Well, I understand."

Hearing this, Otto was stunned, then he looked at the data panel again, as if nothing had happened.

Chapter 92 Epilogue

"Senior, are you really okay?" Bella was dumbfounded when she saw Fu You swallowing the Honkai fission bomb whose energy reaction was more violent than the silver bullet, and now he walked towards her as if nothing had happened.

"I told you, Bella, as long as you work hard to become stronger, you can do this too."

Fu You shook his head slightly at this. He didn't think there was anything to show off. After dealing with the Honkai fission bomb, Fu You turned and looked at Aurora again.

"Take us to Cecilia's place. I have one last thing to take care of."

"Yes!" Aurora nodded quickly. With the Queen now fallen, Fu You had become their backbone. ...Not long after, under Aurora's guidance, they arrived somewhere on the edge of Siberia.

"I heard that the two of them are important in your plan, so I deliberately hid them in this place."

Aurora explains why Cecilia's hiding place is so remote.

"Well done, Aurora. At least here, we don't have to worry about being disturbed by those uninvited guests."

Nodding approvingly, Fu You admired Aurora's actions.

"But because of this, I didn't arrive in time when Her Majesty the Queen called me."

As she spoke, Aurora lowered her head in guilt, while Agatha and Galina beside her were equally ashamed.

"As for this, when your Lady Queen comes out, you can talk to her yourself."

Yu Duchen materialized in his hand, and Fu You slowly approached Cecilia and Kiana. As the scarlet feather fell, Fu You embraced the still-sleeping Kiana. … Cecilia, lost in her sweet dreams for a long time, was unaware of the situation and continued to supervise Kiana and Sirin's homework. The next moment, the world froze, and a familiar voice echoed in his mind.

"Ms. Cecilia, this is the kind of life you desire, right?" "Who?" Cecilia didn't react for a moment, and looked around in confusion.

"What do you mean?" "...It's time to get up."

Almost immediately after the voice fell, the world before Cecilia's eyes, like a fragile mirror, cracked and shattered. The scene before her shattered in an instant. ... Cecilia slowly awoke, unresponsive, still thinking about her two daughters. Then, she saw all the followers of the Second Herrscher appear before her, and in that moment, Cecilia recalled everything. The Second Herrscher, the Collapse, the defeat... Everything in reality was incompatible with her beautiful dream.

"Ms. Cecilia, we meet again."

Among them, the culprit who defeated him was still smiling and waving at him.

"What...what are you going to do? Stop!" Cecilia spoke weakly, but she caught a glimpse of Kiana in Fu You's arms and was instantly frightened.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not some unforgivable villain."

Facing Cecilia's vigilant gaze, Fu You had no choice but to speak to himself.

"During your earlier battle with the Second Herrscher, I sensed something strange about your blood... It can neutralize Honkai energy and eliminate the pain it causes, right?" "So? What exactly are you planning to do?" Cecilia's pupils shrank upon hearing that the other party had sensed the Holy Blood of Shaniat. With Kiana in his possession, the Holy Blood detected, and the Black Abyss White Flower no longer in her possession, she was completely at a disadvantage.

"Ms. Cecilia, I hope you will go to Shenzhou and save those who have been ravaged by the spreading Honkai. Of course, it would be even better if you could resolve the Honkai in Shenzhou along the way."

Smiling, Fu You put forward his own conditions.

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying? My companions of the Second Herrscher want me to go to Shenzhou to rescue those who have been eroded by the Honkai?" Pointing at herself, Cecilia's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Of course it sounds ridiculous, right?" Fu You chuckled, and when Cecilia nodded, he offered an offer that she couldn't refuse.

"But you don't need to know why. You just need to know that if you agree to my conditions, I can definitely guarantee Kiana's safety."

"...Why should I trust you?" Kiana was still in the other party's hands. Cecilia naturally didn't dare to refuse and could only ask tentatively.

"The Great Collapse is over. Under the ambush of anti-entropy, the Second Herrscher is dead. This is a fact known to everyone. There is no need for me to lie to you, ma'am."

Seeing that Cecilia still didn't express her opinion, Fu You continued.

"However, the impact of the Great Collapse remains. Countless Honkai beasts remain in the Siberian Plains and Europe alone. Shenzhou, my hometown, has also been invaded by the Honkai."

"One year. If you don't overdraw your body, it will only take one year for the impact of the Second Great Collapse on Shenzhou to be resolved. By then, you will be able to reunite with your beloved daughter and husband."

"Then, you'll be able to live out your dreams every day, watching your daughter grow up happily...wouldn't that be wonderful?" Fu You's words, like the whisper of a demon, caused Cecilia to waver, almost ready to give in to this minion of the Honkai. As a Valkyrie of destiny, a descendant of the Shaniat family, Cecilia couldn't possibly make a private pact with her former enemy. Yet, his words were incredibly alluring, especially now that the Honkai had ended and Kiana was in his hands.

"...You must promise me that you will return Kiana safely to the Skyward Swords headquarters first!" Finally, Cecilia gave in. Although she still couldn't trust her fellow Second Herrschers, for Kiana's sake, Cecilia had no choice but to agree, though she also set her own boundaries.

"Of course, I understand your feelings, Ms. Cecilia. After confirming that you have gone to Shenzhou, I will send Kiana back to the Destiny headquarters."

Fu You readily agreed. He was not worried that someone like Cecilia would break the contract, but just in case, Fu You still had a trick up his sleeve.

"Don't even think about asking your bishop for bad advice. I've left a mark on the little one's consciousness. But a year from now, if the collapse of Shenzhou is resolved, I will take the initiative to eliminate it."

"When our agreement is fulfilled, Heiyuan Baihua, I will personally return the Key of God to you."

The atmosphere fell into silence, but Fu You was not in a hurry, he knew Cecilia would agree.

“…” After a moment of silence, Cecilia found that she had no choice but to raise her head.

"Can I go and say goodbye to Siegfried?" "Of course, ma'am. As long as you can do your best in Shenzhou in the next year, that will be fine."

Fu You readily agreed to Cecilia's last request.

Cecilia left, and after declining Fuyou's offer of a Honkai beast as a means of transportation, she went alone to look for Siegfried.

"The Tower of Babel is gone, and the Queen is not here... Senior, where should we go next?" Seeing the woman walking away, Bella looked at Fu You blankly. At the same time, Aurora and the other two also looked over, waiting for Fu You to speak.

"Come with me to Shenzhou and live in seclusion for a while. When the storm has passed, we can bring Xilin back to the world."

Looking at the snowfield, which was now devastated by so many things that had happened there, Fu You sighed.

"I just wanted to relax at first..."

Extra: A Crane Returns to the Void

Inside the Bishop's office at the Mandate of Heaven headquarters, a blond man stood in front of a data panel, lost in thought. After a long pause, he slowly spoke.

"The Kaslana family possesses the power to save the world... Turns out it's not just a legend."

"But why is it that no matter how I study Kiana's DNA, I can't find the source of Siegfried's power?" Thinking of this, Otto fell into deep thought again.

"Lord Otto, the recovery team has returned and successfully collected the DNA left by the Second Herrscher on the battlefield."

"The Herrscher Core and the remains of the Second Herrscher are missing. The troops are still investigating."

"Also, we found Dr. Einstein, the anti-entropy."

At this time, Amber pushed open the door and walked in, reporting on the finishing work.

"Also, your old friend from Shenzhou...after waking up, he left on his own without informing anyone."

Having said this, Amber bent down guiltily.

"I'm so sorry, you told me to let her go back to headquarters. This is my fault!" "It's okay, let her go. She will definitely come back."
