Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

Asakura Miyuki spoke weakly, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she continued.

"Perhaps, we should get in touch with him and ask him about these fonts?" "Well, that's it."

Nodding, Ji Zi turned on the communicator, but no response came out.

"Wow... How could Fu You fail at the critical moment!" Kiana stamped her feet, extremely annoyed. The secret on the soul steel fragment was about to be deciphered, but at this moment, Fu You actually lost contact.

"Okay, Kiana, maybe Fu You has something urgent to tell you." Ji Zi spoke while comforting Kiana.

"Our mission has been completed. Next, let's take the video footage and the Xuanyuan Sword and leave. Once we reach the shore, it won't be too late to contact Fu You."

"That's all I can do... What's that guy up to?" Kiana muttered as she headed back the way she came. A faint flicker of worry crossed Jizi's eyes. That Judgment-level Honkai beast, which had existed for thousands of years, hadn't died, and hadn't shown any signs of weakness. Could it be lurking in the shadows, coveting the entire world?

P.S. I was elbowed by the teacher while typing in a lazy class, so I only wrote more than half of the second chapter. I can only post the first chapter between the two classes. Once I win the resurrection match, I will be able to post the second chapter before 5 o'clock...

Chapter 136: Tyrannical "Immortal" (Limited Edition)

As Ji Zi and his companions engaged the Xuan-Yuan Sword in the depths of the Nine Netherworld, the soaring Taixu Sword God descended without a moment's delay between the Anti-Entropy forces and the Honkai Beasts. The Taixu Sword God, whose essence is the "shaping" and "extension" of Honkai energy, is the pinnacle of Taixu sword energy. He is invincible against attacks on the mind and renowned for his psychic attacks. However, through his transformation of Honkai energy, the Taixu Sword God's damage to physical entities is also not to be underestimated.

"Boom!" Like a blazing sun sinking into an ice field, the immense Houkai energy erupted. The tactical mechas and Houkai beasts at the center of the battlefield melted away in an instant, like snowflakes encountering scorching heat, without even offering a single move of resistance. Meanwhile, the mechas and Houkai beasts some distance from the center of the Taixu Sword God's impact were instantly shattered, leaving metal debris and the lingering remains of Houkai beasts scattering everywhere.

"Damn it! Hurry up, hurry up!" Holding tightly to a tactical mech hurtling toward the perimeter, Xing stared intently at the approaching aftermath, her soul pounding. The moment she'd seen the Grand Void Sword God, a strong sense of danger had washed over her. Without hesitation, she desperately tried to escape the attack range, but was still caught in the aftermath. Just as the powerful impact was about to overtake her, the tactical mech behind her blocked her path. However, Xing was still knocked unconscious, her previous arrogance gone.

"See? You have no chance of winning against an immortal."

Pointing at the doomsday scene in the distance, Fu You looked at Rita jokingly and spoke with a bit of pride.

"The number of Tianming's Honkai fission bombs is limited, but I can create the same effect as the Honkai fission bombs without limit..." "Can you Tianming do it? Or, in other words, has anyone in the past and present been able to do it?" Rita spoke slowly, enduring the severe pain in her body.

"The Bishop once said you were a gentle and kind person, but he never told me that the immortals of Shenzhou could be so aggressive..." Hearing this, Fu You was stunned. Indeed, aside from his appearance and his status as a sword god, his actions bore no resemblance to the Red Kite Immortal's personality. So, despite sporting the Red Kite Immortal's appearance, it seemed he was having too much fun. However, Fu You completely disagreed with Rita's description of "gentleness." In his opinion, Chi Yuan was simply dull and inert, completely unrelated to the word "gentle." Although the Red Kite Immortal's reputation was well-known, Fu You dismissed it. Besides, a good reputation couldn't be eaten. A firm stance now would, if Fu Hua and Otto collaborated again, deter that golden-haired boy from acting rashly... Fu You thought. Seeing the "immortal" before her lost in thought, Rita didn't dare act rashly.

"Bishop? I've only known your bishop for about five hundred years. In an immortal's almost endless lifespan, he can't cause a single disturbance."

Finally, the "immortal" spoke slowly, his tone still filled with disdain.

"Young man, you have not experienced the era five hundred years ago. At that time, the supreme bishop in your eyes was kneeling in front of me, begging for mercy for a woman!" After thinking about it, Fu You tilted his head, looked at Rita with a forced smile, and teased her.

"Right, that kid Otto once came to Shenzhou specifically to look for me... but something unexpected happened during that time. In my eyes, he's no different from an ant."

"You're going too far!" Rita narrowed her eyes slightly. Even as a well-mannered person like her, she was genuinely angry. Although she had handled a lot of dirty work for Otto, Rita was still willing to offer her loyalty to him at this stage. Naturally, she would not allow Fu You to humiliate the Bishop so unscrupulously.

"So what? Go back and tell Otto that if you dare to send people to interfere with Shenzhou again, I will chop off your hands!" Fu You shrugged indifferently and said coldly.

"If you refuse to obey, let him come to Taixu Mountain to die. I, the Red Kite Immortal, will be here at all times. It will be a piece of cake for me to crush you to death."

...Rita was forced to leave Shenzhou with her pilot and head for the Far Eastern Branch before she could complete her mission to intercept Yaezakura. On the way, Rita's mind was filled with the arrogant "Sage"'s outrageous words and her own inability to fight back.

"Damn it..." She clenched her fists. This was the biggest loss and the greatest injustice Rita had ever suffered in all these years.

While Fuyou and Rita were briefly fighting, Jizi and the others were almost back at the entrance to Jiuyou.

"I suddenly remembered a question."

After thinking for a moment, Ji Zi looked at the others with a complicated expression.

"Ji Lin's afterimage knew Fu You and said that he was related to Chi You, and Ji Lin died thousands of years ago. So, how old is Fu You?" "Hiss - that's right!" Kiana nodded in sudden realization. She said that when she communicated with Ji Lin's afterimage before, she always felt something was wrong.

"I heard that there are many strange spells in Shenzhou, and I heard that the legendary immortals can also live forever, so, is it possible that Mr. Fuyou knows the immortals?" After thinking about it, Lei Dian Mei made a bold guess.

"But even history is suspected to have been tampered with, so those illusory legends are even more unreliable, right?" Ji Zi spread his hands and thought of what Ji Lin's phantom said, which was completely different from history. He was also helpless.

"After all, that's just a rumor. I've heard an even more outrageous legend, saying that the Red Kite Immortal and the Honkai Beast Chiyou were once friends. That's just nonsense..." "Jizi, where are you now?" At this moment, Theresa's communication suddenly came through, interrupting Jizi. With a bit of anxiety, Theresa asked Jizi.

"We have obtained the Xuanyuan Sword and are on our way back to the surface from the depths of the Nine Netherworld... By the way, Theresa, have you seen this kind of text?" Although she was a little confused, Ji Zi still reported the situation and passed on the video footage.

"This kind of writing? I've never seen it before... I'll ask Fu You to decipher it later."

She scratched her head. Theresa had never seen the kind of text in the video before.

"But Theresa, we can't contact Fu You now!" Kiana interrupted from the side. They have not been in contact with Fu You since they left the maze.

"Kiana! Remember to call me Auntie!" Hearing this, Theresa yelled in dissatisfaction.

"Hehe..." Kiana stuck out her tongue awkwardly, realizing she had made a mistake. After giving Kiana a fierce glare, Theresa got back to business.

"According to previous satellite data, Anti-Entropy's forces are approaching."

"But now, all the signals from the Anti-Entropy Mecha Corps have disappeared. I guess they might have some hidden tactics. You should be careful."

In the projection projected by the communicator, Theresa gave instructions to everyone.

"I don't know why, but Grandpa sent Rita here. Fu You is dealing with her, and the reinforcements I sent are on the way. I believe it won't be long before you will be safe."

Chapter 137 Reaction

"...This is what happened, Your Excellency the Bishop. Due to the obstruction of your friend, the Red Kite Immortal, I have not yet completed my mission to investigate the Pseudo-Hermitage associated with Theresa."

After returning to Tianming in a panic, Rita immediately reported to Otto about the action taken by the "Red Kite Immortal".

"He defeated me easily, and was able to unleash moves with effects comparable to Honkai-energy fission bombs at will. I believe that among the Valkyries of Destiny today, only Lady Bianca could possibly rival him."

At this point, Rita looked at Otto with a hint of resentment in her eyes. After all, Otto had mentioned earlier that the Red Kite Immortal was once powerful, but had lost most of his strength after the Second Collapse. But this was completely different from what Rita had seen. The intelligence error was also one of the reasons for her failure. It was fortunate that the other party had no killing intentions, otherwise she would never see Lady Bianca again... If she could not return, Lady Yulandel would probably be very sad.

"...Rita, Rita?" Just as Rita was daydreaming, Otto's call brought her back to reality.

"Please give your orders, Your Excellency."

With an elegant bow, Rita concealed her daze.

"Well, did she tell you anything specifically?" Without any doubt, Otto asked about the situation of the "immortal".

"She said that if Tianming dared to interfere with Shenzhou in the future, she would make us pay a heavy price."

After a moment of recollection, Rita answered honestly.

"She also said that she has recovered all her former strength. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to Taixu Mountain to find her at any time."

"The Red Kite Immortal in his prime? Interesting..." Otto's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this. At that moment, he felt even more deeply that this old friend was truly remarkable. For all these years, he had never suspected he had such a hidden weapon. However, as someone who had protected Shenzhou for millennia, even achieving near-miracle resurrection, it made sense that he'd regained his strength. At this thought, Otto's brow relaxed.

"Rita, I'm sorry, it was I who underestimated the immortal's methods."

After figuring it out, Otto continued with his kind expression and spoke with a hint of guilt.

"I dare not, Your Excellency."

Hearing this, Rita bowed slightly, and the grievance in her heart dissipated a little. She took the opportunity to ask about the next arrangements.

"As for the Pseudo-Hermitage you mentioned, and the Red Kite Immortal who has returned to the world, how should we deal with it next?" "For now, let's not worry about the Pseudo-Hermitage... As for how to deal with the Red Kite Immortal and her Divine Land in the future, we need to make long-term plans."

Otto tapped the table lightly and gave Rita a kind smile.

"Rita, you've worked hard this time. Go and rest first."

After Rita left, Otto remained in the office, lost in thought. Judging from the current situation, his old friend wasn't as honest and kind as he appeared; on the contrary, he likely had more up his sleeve. After all, she was the Red Kite Immortal, a figure who had lived for countless years. Although she had been betrayed by her traitorous followers, Otto had to admit that he had underestimated her. Now that she had regained her former strength, it was time for him to raise the bar on the terms he had agreed to with Fu Hua. As for the "immortal's" disdain and provocation, Otto didn't take it seriously. Perhaps it was because of his actions during the Second Great Collapse that she harbored resentment? But it wasn't a big deal. Those who aspire to great things don't hold grudges over minor frictions. Unlike Walter, Otto believed the Red Kite Immortal wouldn't challenge him, Otto thought. On the contrary, collaborating with the Red Kite Immortal, whose combat power had greatly increased, would be extremely beneficial to his future plans.

"You clearly have the means to restore your strength, so why did you burn your memories during the Second Collapse?" The only thing that puzzled Otto was that he had witnessed Fu Hua activate Yu Duchen's first power to activate the Grand Void Sword God. The impact of burning memories was completely immeasurable.

"..." Even someone as smart as Otto was confused by the series of confusing operations of the Red Kite Immortal.

"Rita, you're back. Did the mission go smoothly this time?" As soon as she got home, Rita saw Yulandel who had just returned from training, and asked herself with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Bianca. There were some minor setbacks during the mission, and I was unable to complete my set goal."

Hearing this, Rita curled up the corners of her mouth happily, and the last trace of displeasure in her heart instantly disappeared.

"They actually stopped you... Are there any strong people in Shenzhou?" Looking at Rita in surprise, Yulandel asked in confusion.

"Yes, that legendary Red Kite Immortal. I think, in the entire destiny, only you can compare with him."

Thinking about the fighting power of the "immortal", Rita spoke slowly.

"Well, you have to train harder from now on."

Hearing this, Yulandel nodded slightly.

"By the way, what are we going to eat tonight?" Looking at Rita, Yulandel suddenly thought of a serious problem - she has been waiting for Rita until now and has not had dinner yet.

"Lava chocolate cake, is that okay?" Rita smiled slightly, looked at Yulandel lovingly, turned around and walked into the kitchen.

On the other side, on Taixu Mountain, in the projection cast by a feather.

"You mean, you beat up Tianming's S-class Valkyrie, threatened Tianming, and at the same time destroyed Anti-Entropy's mecha troops?" Fu Hua took a sip of tea, feeling a little worried about Fu You's behavior.

"Is it too radical? I'm worried that Otto might retaliate."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. I'm using your identity. Even if that blond guy comes, he won't be able to find me."

Listening to Fu Hua's worries, Fu You spoke indifferently.

"Cough... cough cough!" A mouthful of tea got stuck in her throat. Fu Hua looked at Fu You in surprise and spoke in disbelief.

"You, what did you say?" "Didn't I just wear your appearance, beat up the Valkyrie of Destiny, and then threaten the Bishop of Destiny? Why are you so petty?" Fu You glanced at him with a guilty look and spoke with confidence.

"Let me tell you, the immortal I played didn't lose face at all, and was much more majestic than you used to be..." "You...reserved in your edge, that's the way to deal with the world."

Fu Hua spoke with difficulty, feeling mixed emotions.

"No, of course you should be arrogant when you have power. Even if you are defeated in the next second, you cannot lose the battle... Don't you think so, Xilin?" Fu You teased while looking at Xilin practicing Taixu sword energy with Bella through the feathers.

Chapter 138 The Immortal

After a brief "greeting" with Fu Hua, Fu You turned off Yu Duchen, but Ji Zi's communicator came on again.

"Miss Jizi, do you have any questions?" Fu You turned on the projection, feeling somewhat puzzled. Jizi was Fu You's chosen candidate, so naturally, he wouldn't give her any trouble. The only obstacle on their way to the Xuanyuan Sword was the maze he had set up, but he had managed to navigate it under his guidance. Furthermore, he had already eliminated the Valkyries from the Mandate Headquarters and the Anti-Entropy mecha troops. Fu You wasn't entirely sure why they were still communicating.

"Teacher Fu You, we have learned some secrets from the ancient times. I think you should be interested in them."

In the projection, Ji Zi smiled slightly, and when Fu You nodded, she continued.

"We successfully brought back the Xuanyuan Sword, and within the sword is the afterimage of Ji Lin. She told us that in ancient times, Chi You was not killed..." "Yes, I know."

As Ji Zi expected, Fu You didn't express excessive surprise, merely nodding calmly. It seemed that when Fu You sent them to retrieve the Xuan-Yuan Sword, he had already anticipated that Ji Lin would reveal this secret about Chi You... Ji Zi pondered this, gazing thoughtfully at Fu You. Ji Lin and Fu You knew each other, and Fu You had a close relationship with Chi You, but whether it was hatred or friendship, as long as Fu You didn't speak up, there was no way to know.

"Have you seen her?" Fu You asked meaningfully, looking at the golden sword in Ji Zi's hand.

"Indeed, I didn't expect the process of obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword to be so smooth... Unfortunately, this operation didn't find any trace of the original stigmata."

"As for the news about Chi You, Teacher Fu You, Ji Lin said that you have a close relationship with that Honkai Beast."

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Zi confessed.
