Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

""Void Manzo"... Sure enough, he was going for Xiaoye from the beginning..."

The "Key of the First God" made from the core of the Herrscher of the "Herrscher of Reason" in the last civilization era, the special weapon held by the Archbishop of Destiny, Otto Apocalypse, is the "Void Manzo".

Just like the "Trace of Nothingness" has the powerful power to control space, and the "Black Abyss White Flower" has absolute dominance over living organisms, "Void Manzo" also has its own special ability, "Mimicry", that is one of them.

As the "Key of Revelation", "Hollow Manzo" can simulate some of the shapes and abilities of all known "Keys of God" in its database and use them for its own use. Although the imitations of the "Keys of God" it simulates have poor performance. Far inferior to the main body, but it is enough for Otto in terms of purpose.

Just like the golden chains that are simulated using the data of "Judas' Oath" in Teresa's hands at this moment, those chains that also have the function of "restraining Honkai energy" do not need to have "power" that is very close to the original body. They only need to be like now Controlling the uncontrolled "God Key" in this way is enough to give the captain a headache.

Although even if he didn't have the "God Key", Otto wouldn't be a big threat, but the problem was... the girl next to him was the strongest S-class Valkyrie in "Destiny": Youlandel.

"Otto, what on earth do you want to do to Kiana by bringing her to a place like this!?"

"Of course..." Faced with the boy's question, Otto thought for a moment, and then replied in a high-sounding tone: "Of course...in order to welcome the changes in the world, my friend."

"Change? Haha, I think it's all for someone's selfish desires, right?"

"..."

"That's actually true. No, rather, it's completely correct."

Such thoughts flashed through Otto's mind for the first time, but due to the girl beside him, he did not express his thoughts directly in the end.

"Hahaha, I'm not lying. The moment this 'Sleeping Beauty' wakes up, the world will definitely usher in real 'change'. "Otto glanced at the girl in the experimental cabin behind him and said as if he was being mysterious.

"I don't believe you, Otto. I just think what you are doing now will bring huge disaster to the world, and... I don't think Chi Yuan will approve of your actions... You lied to her."

The moment someone's name was mentioned, Otto felt a hint of emotion in the young man's voice in the distance. Hundreds of years of interaction made Otto understand that once the topic involves the owner of the name "Red Kite" , he must think carefully before responding cautiously.

"No, no, my friend, how could it be? I can assure you that I have never cheated on her."

"Really, but you haven't been honest with her, have you?"

"Hahaha, I admit it. I told her at that time that the "Second Herrscher" might be able to recover. But at that time, she was worried that the "Second Herrscher" would be harmful to you after it recovered, so she took it. I wanted her to infiltrate St. Freya Academy. Now it seems that she is willing to give up everything for her old friend... It is really touching. "

"The reason why she helped you is because you promised her that she would properly deal with Kiana, who might become the "Herscher", but the 'properly' you said was not what she wanted. Tell the truth, but just say Half of it, it's your...bad habit! "

At the same time as he said this, the captain flew forward at the fastest speed that the armor could achieve in an instant, reaching out to grab the hilt of the "Scar of Nothingness" that was bound by the chain, but just before he succeeded, In an instant, the blond girl, who had been ready to attack, relied on the amazing maneuverability of "Knight of the Radiance: Moon Soul" to stand in front of him.

"Bianca!?"

The girl held the lance in her hand tightly and swiped the boy in front of her. The captain had to retreat to avoid the blow, and then the man's playful voice came from the distance:

"Branches, descended into this world... come from the lost "stars" of the previous world. They are the forgotten people who have witnessed the ups and downs of this world so far. They are also my benefactor and my friend. Out of these five hundred years, As for the friendship between us, I advise you one last time, go back. I can assure you that this world will not be destroyed. At most... you will only have to pay a small "sacrifice". "

"Never mind the nonsense you are talking about, your so-called small "sacrifice" is exactly what I cannot accept. Bianca, get out of the way. "

"...I'm sorry, teacher, I can't do it." The blond girl shook her head.

Hollander's expression looked very decisive, but from her blue eyes, the captain could still read a trace of bitterness. Does that bitterness come from the "responsibility" she bears, or from the relationship she attaches to at this moment? No one knows the "antagonism" in the human world.

"Teacher, please...go back, I really don't want to hurt you."

"If possible, I don't want to fight you, Bianca, but... I must rescue Kiana. I must let her choose the future she wants to go to."

"It does sound like what you would say, then... I will be rude to you."

Seeing that the young man had made up his mind, Youlan Daier had no choice but to assume an offensive stance. The captain immediately became vigilant, but after seeing that the young man did not seem to want to pull out the sword from his armored waist, Youlan Daier Del also seemed to have made some decision and inserted the lance in his hand on the ground next to him.

"Since you choose to be empty-handed, I will not take advantage of others' danger. It just so happens that I haven't tried my fighting skills with you for a long time. Why don't you try it again now, teacher?"

"…Bianca."

After saying that, Youlandel, who had already set up a fighting stance, quickly rushed towards the captain. The captain had no choice but to accept the challenge. In order to have more flexibility in close combat, he removed all the weapons behind the armor and around his waist. The sword blade, however, due to the huge difference in physical fitness, even with the armor blessing of the "Moon Blade", the captain can only passively defend at the moment, using dodge or neutralization techniques to receive the girl's extremely fast punches again and again.

The swift fighting technique that was once taught to the girl, consisting of fighting boxing techniques and continuous kicking techniques, has now become a powerful weapon against him. The captain did not know how to evaluate it for a while. Normally, he might be so embarrassed by the girl. He was gratified by the rapid improvement in fighting skills, but now...he felt more mixed feelings in his heart.

But the captain knew very well that without the protection of the "God Key" now, even a slight mistake would be enough for him to completely lose the battle, so he must find a way to catch the girl who might be attacking. Use the short gap that appears and win with one strike, or take the opportunity to recapture the "Key of God".

"What's wrong, teacher, aren't you going to fight back?"

While speaking, Youlandel had already raised her leg and kicked the young man on the shoulder. The kick was so fast that it even left an afterimage, but the captain had already expected it. He lowered his body to avoid this attack at the extreme distance. The young boy who was hit reverse-rotated his body and struck the ankle of the girl's other foot, which was the fulcrum of the girl's body. Hollandale was swept over on the spot, but before her body hit the ground, she supported the ground with her right hand in time, and at the same time, she supported the ground again. The captain kicked forward and immediately blocked it with both arms. However, he was still shaken and took a few steps back to the left. The huge impact made him almost unable to stand still.

Seeing this, the girl who had stood up again attacked again. The captain, whose arm had not yet recovered from the pain caused by the previous kick, could only bear the attack.
