"You're not much better," Glasses said speechlessly. "To satisfy your insatiable appetite, you stormed into various tribes in the Holy Land of Paradise. Now you're being hunted down by several Perfected beings, and even Ultimate beings are showing signs of taking action themselves. Don't you ever consider going to the Dark Hell to rid the world of evil?"
"Well, bullying an honest beast is less risky, and I need to have a backup plan to be safe."
Kyubey's words made Glasses sigh. "Am I the only normal person among us, being Bai Zhi?"
"Indeed, compared to everyone else, my experience is similar to that of my previous life, and my personality is closest to that of Bai Zhi herself."
His words were met with no objection from the crowd.
"Of all the data you've gained from this power sharing, Kyubeymon, you've received the most. Kirito's hacking ability, the artificial Fluctlight, and Kayaba Akihiko's World Seed—I'm quite surprised you only evolved into Kyubeymon. Just how much data do you need?"
This is like a weakened version of Electronic Hacker, World Tree, and the three data packages of homeostasis.
"This is nothing. The Rookie level of Sixwingmon can easily defeat the Ultimate level of Huanglongmon. It's unrealistic for such a bugged character to have too little experience to level up." Kyubeymon was also helpless. Its evolution data bar was less than one percent. When would it be possible to evolve again?
At this moment, Glasses spoke up, pushing up his non-prescription glasses and asking.
“I have carefully recalled the experiences of each of the Angelica dahuricas, and it seems that you, Paimon, are at the center of the incident.”
Everyone else is going about their daily lives, but you're the only one who happens to be caught up in a super-powered campus brain battle royale, and your opponent is Otto, the one who mourns you. It's hard not to notice you.
“Life is long. Do you think it’s just drawing comics or writing novels? Every event is just a chance encounter.” Paimon hugged his knees, his voice loud and unpredictable.
"By the way, you guys can give me some advice. Besides the three Herrscher trainees in St. Freya Academy, I can use Otto's identity to coerce Theresa and Himeko. Welt Yang from Anti-Entropy is also a point to use. The Moon Throne under St. Freya is also good. It's just that Rita, who is being monitored, is hard to control. Apart from Durandal's reasons, I don't think she will leave her post."
Who is Otto? Words like "cunning and shrewd" don't even begin to describe him. The more chaotic the situation, the better, to escape his unknown surveillance.
Chaos created an opportunity for him to strike.
"My advice is to adapt to the situation. Your approach of placing hidden pieces is correct, but it has some flaws."
Kiritani Kazuto said, "Even though they are all Bai Zhi, the differences in their personal experiences have led to differences in their personalities and strengths. Obviously, the world's top hackers are the wise type of Bai Zhi."
"Intelligence is time-sensitive; a time gap must be established before the incident is exposed..."
Honkai Impact 3rd Serpent Solo Fan: Chapter 44 - Intentional or Accidental?
The sudden third collapse had such a huge impact that the conspirators adjusted their plans overnight, rearranged their pieces, and placed more pieces on the subsequent chessboard to carve out a large piece of fat to satisfy their 'appetite'.
In the guest room, Bai Zhi repeatedly checked the note, memorized its contents, and erased the plan she had been writing all night.
He didn't have much time. Taking into account the time for his journey there and back, he had five days, which was the total deadline for Bai Zhi to meet with the World Snake.
The next day, in a classroom at St. Freya Academy.
"Everyone, we have a few new students who have transferred to our school for internships today. Let's get to know each other well."
Himeko, dressed in an office lady teacher's uniform, stood on the podium introducing several new students.
Kiana, Bronya, and Raiden Mei's introductions were fairly standard, except for Bronya's claim that she was also from Chiba Academy, which was a bit problematic.
Chiyu Academy is a top-tier elite high school. Bronya is young, with a blank face full of collagen and an unobstructed body curve, at most at the level of a junior high school student.
All the female students' eyes were focused on Bai Zhi.
After all, St. Freya Academy is an all-girls school, and the presence of male students only makes people think that the other party has a strong backing and is shameless, even though that is indeed the case.
"I am Paimon Shaniat, a special student who transferred from the Destiny Headquarters Academy. My purpose is to test the teaching quality of St. Freya Academy. St. Freya has cultivated many talents and deserves the Headquarters' attention. If my grades are excellent, St. Freya may become a co-educational school in the future."
Lies came out of her mouth without batting an eye. Bai Zhi introduced herself in a serious manner: "I am skilled in wilderness survival, battle planning, data writing, animal affinity, and three kinds of fighting techniques. I am a hands-on student who is practical in combat. Please give me your guidance."
The latter half involves plagiarizing the abilities of Bai Zhi from other worlds. Since it's all the same person, sharing memories is basically the beginning.
As for the lie about co-education in the first half, it was just to establish her own persona. Look, Himeko's eyes are almost twitching, and she's practically overflowing with regret.
Given the gossip-spreading nature of girls' schools, the news would have spread throughout the entire campus before the class was even over. Once the facts were established, changing them wouldn't be so easy.
It's not surprising that there are male warriors among the Valkyries; after all, Valkyrie is just a nickname for warriors.
The Kaslana family, the Shaniat family, and families whose members have inherited the Stigmata, such as the Colorless family, the Cavendish family, the Roya family, etc...
From a genetic, probabilistic, and sociological perspective, the ratio of women to men in the ethnic group is not significantly different.
While the majority of female members of the tribe became Valkyries fighting against the Honkai, the possibility of male members becoming 'female' Valkyries cannot be denied.
The fact that the latter is less numerous than the former is another matter entirely.
St. Freya's classroom teaching was not much different from ordinary school lectures.
The content of the courses is completely unrelated.
Typical school curriculum: Chinese, mathematics, foreign language, physics and chemistry, geography and biology.
St. Freya's Courses: Tactical Rehearsals and Command, Understanding Honkai from Beginner to Advanced, Battlefield Survival Rules, Complete Guide to Honkai Beasts, Battleship Control...
When the bell rang, the teacher did not delay the end of the school day. Instead, she stopped lecturing, tidied up her lesson plan, and left the classroom.
"The teachers are not bad, and the learning atmosphere is not as bad as Yulandal mentioned. She doesn't even consider that the level of competition where exercise time equals rest time is inhuman. Every time she forces me to be with her, if it weren't for the shared constitution of other Baizhi, I'm afraid I would have died on the spot."
After packing up her textbooks, Bai Zhi greeted her distant white-haired cousin, whom she had only met a day earlier, and left the noisy classroom. At the door, she encountered a maid who had been waiting for her for a long time.
"The sunset at dusk cannot compare to your beauty, Rita, good afternoon."
“Lord Paimon, from a time perspective, I should say good evening.” Rita, dressed in a form-fitting leather outfit that revealed her stunning curves, clasped her hands together at her waist: “Saint Freya, founded by Lady Theresa, has satisfied your curiosity. Rita reminds you that the bishop has only given you seven days.”
Yesterday, I departed from headquarters for Changkong City, where I froze the pseudo-Herrscher Yae Sakura/Rin, and followed Theresa to St. Freya to inform another pseudo-Herrscher.
The actions and plans were fairly standard, but what about today?
After Du Juan wasted the entire day at St. Freya, having no teaching tester?
"Lord Paimon, I don't mean to be rude, but..."
Rita was outspoken.
"No matter how much useless work you do, your evaluation in the bishop's eyes will still be low. Please cherish your opportunity to go out. What Lord Durandal needs are comrades-in-arms who can fight alongside you and whom you can entrust with your back, not tools who accompany you in training. The logistics personnel of the Undying Blade Squad are sufficient. You do not need to add anything."
Oh ho? My future path is to become a member of the Undying Blade Squad.
Indeed, Durandal can suppress any force at any time, and Rita can perfectly handle and monitor other aspects.
What an unfree future! Bai Zhi felt nauseous.
Then the problem is coming.
Was Rita doing it on purpose or by accident?
These endless days are truly disgusting.
“It’s fucking disgusting.” Bai Zhi said, her expression one of utter loathing. Rita’s smile froze slightly: the seemingly sunny young man didn’t hide anything: “After leaving the lab, the most diligent people who appeared before me weren’t that old guy Otto, but you and Durandal.”
I still remember the torment of being forced to participate in Otto's experiments when I opened my eyes. Later, on the day I left the lab, Otto personally handed me over to Durandal, saying, 'He's a very good prospect, his potential is no less than yours, Durandal. I'm entrusting K233 to you; I think you can give me a good answer.'
Otto never hid his identity as an artificial human; Durandal knew, Rita knew, Bai Zhi knew—they all knew.
so...
"That's disgusting. Fighting against Honkai? I don't mind. Rebel against humanity? There's no need. Otto has been a fanatic for over five hundred years, and Durandal is Alice who has always been kept in the dark."
What I want is very simple: for androids to have the freedom to choose for themselves. Rita, you came from a flower shop and should have followed in your mother's footsteps to become a flower girl, but instead you participated in the trial of destiny and became a Valkyrie who hangs her life on the line.
You've been hurt; I've seen you lying in a hospital bed. You've failed; I've overheard you wiping away tears in your bedroom. But you never regretted it, resolutely stepping onto the battlefield, following Durandal's gaze—the kind of resolve only those who make their own choices possess... I envy you.
Bai Zhi did not hide anything.
Because it's Rita.
Rita was monitoring him.
Rita with the black gloves.
She would relay all her complaints to Otto's Rita without reservation.
Honkai Impact 3rd Serpent Solo Fan: Chapter 45 You Don't Want To Either
To take something, you must first agree to it.
Angelica dahurica chose to take the risk of burning the chestnut.
He always remembered that Rita's mission was to monitor him.
Even though Durandal regarded Bai Zhi as a younger brother, and even though Rita felt guilty and tried to make amends to Bai Zhi, she treated him the same way Durandal did.
So what? Leaving Schicksal had long been his obsession. For this, he was willing to betray Schicksal and become enemies with Durandal, to use Rita's guilt to buy time, and to be put on Schicksal's wanted list.
Bai Zhi only wanted to leave Tianming and choose her own future, even if it meant giving up everything she had.
Therefore, he doesn't mind using everything he can.
On the rooftop of the teaching building, Bai Zhi waited for the person he had arranged to meet. He gazed at the crescent moon in the sky, feeling the blessing it brought. This power was the means for him to achieve his goal, but it wasn't enough. "Greek, you can't die. If you die, my subsequent plans will be ruined."
Bathed in moonlight, Bai Zhi's skin seemed to glow faintly, her aura both divine and demonic. A thought suddenly surfaced in the mind of the Herrscher as she stepped onto the rooftop.
"Paimon, as promised, I made an excuse and came here without telling Kiana and Bronya. Please tell me about my father."
He took out the note he had given her during class earlier that day.
[Raiden Mei, do you want to know the whereabouts of your father, Raiden Ryoma? Meet me tonight at 8 PM on the rooftop of the school building. Remember, don't reveal the secret to anyone else.]
"I thought you would call me Shaniat, a unique term used by people from the Far East. Am I mistaken?" Bai Zhi asked back. Raiden Mei shook her head. He was Kiana's cousin, so she could address him more intimately.
To increase her favorability with her father, Raiden Mei wants to know all the information about him.
"Oh, okay, I didn't consider our connection, but I'm sure I remembered the rest correctly." Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Raiden Mei, you don't want Uncle Raiden Ryoma to keep getting framed, do you?"
"You?!" The purple-haired girl's eyes widened.
Are you familiar with the Far East Miss?
Even though she is virtuous and self-respecting, under the influence of the Far East environment, among Kiana's trio, it is actually the white-haired dumpling who is always shouting for Mei's ** (a type of herbal drink) that is the purest.
“If you’re looking for something sordid, then I’ll take my leave now.” Raiden Mei’s eyes were cold, as if she were looking at non-combustible garbage. “I won’t tell Kiana what happened tonight, but there won’t be a next time. You’d better watch yourself.”
She turned to leave.
"Is this alright? Miss Raiden, the perpetrator and victim of the Third Honkai Impact." Bai Zhi's expression was ambiguous, and the latter stopped and turned to look directly at her: "I... admit that I committed an unforgivable sin during the Third Honkai Impact, but that is not a reason for you to threaten me."
"Young Miss, Young Miss, you really don't understand anything."
Bai Zhi's eyes were serious, and her icy blue pupils, combined with her solemn expression, gave her an aura of both awe and holiness.
"The Third Honkai Outbreak was a catastrophe caused by Anti-Entropy executives who used the Honkai Core Reactor in the basement of ME Corporation to conduct an artificial Herrscher experiment by implanting the Herrscher of Thunder core into your body."
Changkong City, a first-tier coastal city in the Far East, a metropolis with a population of 30 million, went about an ordinary day.
Miss, who can you blame for this? You caused the Great Collapse, or perhaps you caused the Entropy Reversal Executive who conducted the artificial Herrscher experiment?
Oh, right, there's a condition I need to tell you.
Stop! Don't say anymore! Stop it right now!
Raiden Mei's reason was screaming, calling out, refusing to listen to Bai Zhi's words any longer.
Because what follows will shatter the fragile psychological defenses the girl has built.
"Raiden Mei, why was a Herrscher core implanted in your body? Why was your father, Raiden Ryoma, arrested and imprisoned? Why did ME Corporation become a stronghold of Anti-Entropy?"
Before anyone knew it, Bai Zhi appeared in front of the girl, reached out and lifted her chin, meeting the girl's stubborn, teary-eyed, shocked, and incredulous expression.
"Your father, Raiden Ryoma, is an executive officer of Anti-Entropy stationed in the Far East. The Herrscher core in your body was implanted under Raiden Ryoma's order. The cause, process, and result of you becoming the Herrscher of Thunder all involved his participation. He truly is a father whose love is as solid as a mountain."
"you..."
"what?"
"shut up!!!"
Crackle!
The moment the thunder roared, Bai Zhi released her grip, leaped back a few times to dodge the lightning attack, raised her hand to form a hand blade, condensed the energy of the Honkai Originium into the blade, and slashed down repeatedly, splitting the oncoming torrent of lightning.
Drop drop drop-
"Ugh!" The madwoman with the expression "〒印淋捌寺旗死鷗〔" changed her expression and knelt down, clutching her high chest.
The implanted heart bomb was activated, and her life was hanging by a thread... Don't be ridiculous.
"You, a Herrscher who wields the power of electromagnetic fields, are worried about the mechanical bomb inside your body? Are you kidding me?"
Bai Zhi scoffed. No matter how poorly she performed at the moment, Raiden Mei was no longer human in essence.
Before joining St. Freya Academy, she was a young lady who inherited the Hokushin Itto-ryu sword style from her family. Perhaps her sword skills were at the level of being passed down to all, but due to the constraints of her physical body, her strength was not high.
As a result, after only three years at St. Freya Academy, she became a Valkyrie who could easily slay Honkai Beasts that were tens of meters tall?
