Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Is this really good? My friend, you who have experienced two civilizations should know best the meaning of "collapse" to mankind. "Before the final fight began, Otto suddenly spoke to the young man not far away.

"Even if you can really stop me, the apostle of "Hengkai" will come to the world again sooner or later. This is the inevitable future for mankind. Rather than letting the world suffer disaster without preparation, it is better to be prepared. Don't you think it's wrong to take the initiative to greet you when you are in a situation...don't you think it's right? "

"No, Otto, even if you want to artificially guide the "collapse" to come when you are prepared, the world will only lead to the fate of facing the "end" prematurely. Do you think it is possible to rely on what you say? Preparation' and the calculation in your heart, will mankind be able to cross the "end" by then? What's more, you are just doing it out of selfish motives! "

Facing the captain's question, Otto sneered as if he had expected it: "Haha, how to let human beings cross the "end", for me, for "destiny", for human beings... This is indeed a difficult problem, But, is this really a problem for "you"? my friend? "

"..."

There was a meaningful look in the green eyes, and the young man had to fall into a brief silence along with the rhetorical question.

That’s right————

This was what Otto wanted to see most, and he couldn't be more satisfied with the reaction.

The wordless silence of the young man in front of him convinced Otto that the inference in his mind regarding the future of this world was already close to the unknown "destiny".

"My friend, you have gone through a long time, but unlike your companions, each has an important mission. Your life is engraved with the development of this civilization, but you have never chosen to guide it. .”

"What, you want to condemn my inaction on behalf of the world?"

"No, no, how could it be? I know that you, who have already met the "End" once, have lost everything you had at that time. However, over the past thousands of years, sooner or later, "Hengkai" will It seems that you haven’t taken any initiative to prepare for the second coming. Is this just because you lost everything and fell into decadence? "

"I'm different from them, and I'm not entrusted with anything that needs to be done by me. Even if it's about collecting soul steel computers around the world, it's just because I accepted the commission from my friends."

"Hahaha, since you are different from them, how come you were able to reach today as an ordinary person across a long period of time?"

"..."

"My friend, why don't you listen to my conclusion."

"No need!"

In the dim space, Otto only saw a flash of cold light, and then the young man holding a long blade interrupted his words and rushed towards him like an arrow from a string.

Seeing this, Otto imitated the golden pistol named "Skyfire Holy Judgment" and fired continuously. At the same time, he also summoned chains around him and attacked the boy. However, the intensive offensive launched by "Void Manzo" was blocked by him. The young man wearing silver armor who flew towards him was able to block them all with just a fighting sword.

In the blink of an eye, the young man had split all the scorching projectiles that came towards him. At the same time, through exquisite micro-control, the captain instantly turned his body to avoid the first few chain attacks. Then, while hanging upside down, the ultimate sword strike The skill was once again released from the silver blade in the young man's hand. In just a moment, all the chains that wanted to touch him were blocked.

In Otto's struggling expression, the captain had turned his body again, strode in front of him, and slashed the long blade in his hand at the opponent.

Otto, who still had a backup plan, took out the golden sword that he had prepared at some point, and once again sparred with the captain. At the same time, he took the opportunity to say: "Oh, my friend, you are not an ordinary person as you say. It’s not like you don’t worry about the future of this world, but what you worry about is not the “end”, but what comes from outside this planet after that..."

"whispering sound!"

As if to shut up the man in front of him, the captain had no intention of giving him a chance to continue talking.

Relying on the swordsmanship skills that completely crushed the opponent, the young man easily bounced the big sword in the man's hand with a little effort. Otto hurriedly adjusted his posture and wanted to take back the arm that was bounced with the sword, but the young man in front of him immediately used his free hand. His left hand held the secondary weapon fighting sword at his waist with his backhand, and cut off his right arm with one sword strike.

"It's over, Otto."

With a "click" sound, Otto's severed arm fell to the ground along with the sword. At the same time, weird silver "blood" began to flow out of the wound on Otto's right arm. No, it should be said to be some kind of metallic color. liquid substance.

However, the captain is not surprised by this. After all, he has known that Otto was using an artificial body made of "soul steel" from hundreds of years ago. This is what Otto has been able to do with him for hundreds of years. the real reason.

It wasn't a real body anyway, so cutting off one of his hands was enough to relieve his anger. Seeing the man retreating with a smile, the captain immediately flew to the experimental cabin next to him.

"Kiana..."

Looking at the girl in front of him who was so close to him that only a transparent sealing cover was blocking her, the captain couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. But just when he was about to cut open the experimental cabin to rescue the girl, the girl in front of him suddenly... opened his eyes. She opened her golden eyes that no longer had any trace of blue.

"!?"

The captain didn't even have a moment to be surprised. His proficiency in the power of the "Key to Space" allowed him to detect the "abnormality" in the surrounding space almost the moment the opponent activated his power. Just as the captain's body transformed The next second after the shadow disappeared, the space where the four people were located in the core experimental area of ​​"Helheim Laboratory" was completely cut open at an oblique angle.

Due to the leakage and imbalance of internal air pressure, the laboratory ceiling made of special alloy was pushed up into the sky by a strong cyclone that flew randomly the moment the cutting was completed. The surrounding walls and experimental cabins were also swept up in darkness in the strong wind. Sky.

Suddenly, except for Youlandel and Jizi, who were guarded by the young man holding a sword behind him, no one could be found in the huge laboratory, whether it was the experimental cabin, the experimental subjects, or the equipment. A whole being cut in half.

Fortunately, with the protection of the "Key of God", the blond girl and the red-haired woman, who were busy wrestling until just now, did not notice anything unusual around them, were safe and sound.

When the strong wind subsided, both Youlandel and Jizi opened their eyes again. They saw that the ceiling above them had turned into a night sky covered with dark clouds, and they both realized what had just happened.

Youlandel saw the body of the boy behind Hime swaying and seemed to be about to fall, so she rushed forward to support him. Upon seeing this, Hime immediately supported the captain from the other side.

"teacher!"

The captain glanced at the eager-looking girl next to him and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. The girl then breathed a sigh of relief and turned her attention to the experimental cabin at the end of the experimental area not far away.

Looking around, there was no one in the experimental cabin with a flat bevel cutout, and Bishop Otto, who was next to the experimental cabin, had long since disappeared. Only a soul that had been cut by someone remained on the ground. Steel arms.
