Honkai: Strijder (Honkai Impact 3 Male MC)

In the key strategic area closest to the land in the circular fortress, the S-rank Valkyrie Durandal stood on the edge of a floating platform, gazing at the colossal beast whose full form couldn't be seen, her expression grave.

Welt could construct and suspend a fortress of warfare comparable to the Great Wall of the Ringed City in the game Dark Soul 1, and the giant Chi You itself was comparable to a continent. The enormous sword aura descending from the sky seemed capable of piercing and incinerating planets — compared to these entities, the accolade of an S-rank Valkyrie was truly a joke.

"My strength is still lacking! I need to multiply my training a hundredfold after this war!"

Realizing her insignificance was the first path toward improvement.

Durandal held her spear diagonally, her grip tight, fearless and dauntless, only infinite fighting spirit burning within her.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze wafted by, and Durandal turned her head to see a cute maid standing gracefully beside her. The maid placed her hands on her abdomen and bowed slightly, saying:

"Lady Draundal, the situation isn't good. Although Rita has been trying her best to encourage them, everyone's morale is still..."

Rita's voice was soft and melodious, like an enchanting song, but with a hint of concern, causing Kiana to furrow her brows slightly.

Looking at the Titan Mechs that had never faltered in formation from start to finish, a hint of frustration appeared on the blonde Valkyrie still somewhat immature face.

The Anti-Entropy mechs, in this war against the giant Honkai beast Chi You that had yet to truly start, demonstrated their unique advantage — they didn't know fear.

Because they were machines, no matter what kind of enemy they faced, as long as the command was given, they would never retreat.

Valkyries couldn't do that because they were human.

In contrast, in their first cooperation, the contribution of Schiskal seemed to be overshadowed.

But that wasn't what troubled Durandal.

She didn't blame the Valkyries for losing their composure, after all, they were facing an opponent beyond comprehension like Chi You.

The problem was, Durandal's reliable intuition told her that this turmoil was far from over, danger was still brewing, and if a large number of Valkyries faltered, how could they continue the fight?

"Forget it, let's continue to persuade them. The war shouldn't be over yet. We can't have the Titans charging ahead while the Valkyries are daydreaming or even fleeing, can we? That would be too disgraceful!"

"Yes!"

At Rita's words, her expression became solemn, and she continued her efforts to boost morale, albeit with little effect.

...

At that moment, the azure sky brightened for an instant.

"Announcement for the entire army!!"

Using countless worker bees dispersed in the air as sound and projection devices, a cold teenage voice resounded across the sea, and a huge image appeared above everyone's heads, occupying half of the sky.

It was a pitch-black wasteland, with a white-haired youth sitting solemnly on a black chair, surrounded by countless gigantic Honkai Beasts roaring, before they fell silent as they are being swiftly slaughtered by a black figure.

At the same time, there were vast swarms of black spheres, either radiating thousands of laser beams or devouring Honkai Beasts like ants consuming an elephant, efficiently, coordinately, and cruelly massacring the horde.

Further away, dazzling white lights and mushroom clouds bloomed without restraint, the image and the thunderous sound were both clear and audible, making people shudder involuntarily — was this some kind of nuclear arsenal being depleted?

"Hear this! Under our effective attack, the giant beast Chi You has lost its mobility, and the direct threat to the continent shelf has been temporarily removed. We have achieved initial victory."

"But the war is not over yet, Chi You's body is still constantly giving birth to Honkai Beasts, their target is the land, their purpose is destruction. The front line where you all are is humanity's last defense line. I urge you— Fight to the end!"

"In the name of the acting Archbishop of Schicksal and the first executor of Anti-Entropy, Sigurd, I declare: this battle is not allowed to retreat, cannot retreat! Ahead is Honkai, behind is our homeland, we have no way to retreat!"

"In the name of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy's joint commitment, this battle will be recorded in terms of the number of Honkai Beasts defeated and the level of contribution. After the battle, promotion, leave, salary increase, stronger stigma, more advanced armor, and even the highly effective medicine developed by Anti-Entropy to alleviate Honkai corrosion syndrome, as long as you want, as long as Schicksal and Anti-Entropy have it, everything can be exchanged for contribution points!"

"My promise is the promise of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, my command is the command of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy."

"Hereby, I order: for civilization, for humanity, for those who cannot fight — only advance, no retreat, only victory, no defeat!"

"Today, we declare war on Honkai! Today, we will save the world!"

"Announcement over, all troops — attack!"

With an unwavering voice and an expression as calm yet resolute as a mountain, accompanied by the death wails of Honkai Beasts in the image, when the word "attack" was uttered, something seemed to return to the despondent Valkyries.

At the same time,

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

With the electronic sound of firepower being released, countless Titan Mechs raised their heads, started moving, purple light shining above them, with the reassuring presence of their massive cannons, they came to the edge of the platform in an orderly manner, guarding the frontline area.

Then, Valkyries who stood tall and chest out, armed with their weapons, stood behind the Titan-formed Great Wall, poised for action.

"It's been stopped—"

"Just Honkai Beasts—"

"Behind us is our homeland—"

"The effective medicine—"

"For those who cannot fight—"

"We are saving the world!!!"

Gradually, the atmosphere on the battlefield changed.

...

Durandal stared blankly at the sky.

"Is that... Lord Sigurd Kaslana?"

"Indeed, it is him."

Rita nodded with a smile.

Indeed, as expected of the remarkable figure who could converse with Archbishop Otto with ease and wield great authority in Schisckal. Just by showing his face and sitting on the half-burned remains of Chi You, he's able to bring an unprecedented sense of security.

Rita and Durandal both smiled, feeling a sense of relief that dispelled the shadow cast upon them since they first saw Chi You.

So what if it's Chi You? Didn't it still kneel before humanity?

At their feet, the seawater pouring in from all directions had gradually approached its original level. However, the surging currents had stirred up the seabed mud, making the entire ocean appear turbid.

But even with such turbulent currents, it was doubtful that anything significant could happen if even those gigantic Honkai Beasts, which were dwarfed by blue whales, were to venture down. They would likely just be tossed around by the ocean currents, unable to accomplish much.

Suddenly, a small hand clad in black armor gripped the edge of the platform, and from the murky seawater emerged a slim, pure-black figure.

Struggling, the girl climbed onto the platform and approached Durandal and Rita, then lay on the ground in a prone position, retracting her helmet to reveal her signature silver-white hair and a flushed, breathless little face.

"Huff— Huff— Huff—"

"I almost died!"

"I knew it, only Sigurd could come up with such a strong attack! You annoying white head! I was almost swept away by the sea and ended up in the Pacific Ocean! Just wait until we get back!"

Whoosh!

A beam of light shot at the spot just one centimeter above Kiana's head, leaving behind a fist-sized black hole.
