The Big Boss of Cosplay in the World of Honkai Impact 3rd

This giant beast, from any angle, displayed its ferocity and brutality.

And she, her only weapon in hand, was the Apprentice Knight Spear.

This thing feels like it would be perfect as a toothpick for Ganesha.

I'm going to die, I'm going to be pinned to the ground and beaten severely!

"Can I choose a different enemy? Like a Ranger Honkai Evolved or something," Li Pu finally managed to react. "Going straight for Ganesha right off the bat, isn't that a bit..."

...much?!

"I can arrange a reinforced company of Ranger Honkai Evolved for you," Himeko said. "This doesn't seem like a Valkyrie."

Scared? Himeko frowned slightly, this was different from the description. Although Ganesha looked intimidating, it wasn't actually that strong. Its attack methods were simple, and its moves were rather limited. More importantly, Ganesha wasn't a speed-type Honkai Beast.

As a power-type Honkai Beast, Ganesha had excellent strength and defense, but its speed was slow.

As long as you pay attention to dodging and don't get hit, you'll be fine.

This thing actually made Cecilia scared?

Is she faking it or deliberately being passive?

"Cecilia." Himeko did have a slight desire for personal revenge, after all, being called "Aunty, Aunty." Anyone would get angry.

It would be a miracle if I could be happy about this!

But if she were truly seeking revenge, she wouldn't have chosen this Honkai Beast.

Of course, there was still a little bit of it.

Right now, Cecilia lacks fighting spirit! Not just a little bit, Cecilia has no fighting spirit at all, no intention of fighting the Honkai Beast.

No defense, no offensive stance, she looked like she was just lying down, waiting to be plucked.

She's no different from an ordinary civilian who encountered a Honkai Beast.

No, perhaps better than an ordinary civilian, at least she didn't run away, nor was she so terrified she lost her mind. She could still try to bargain with me.

"I need to ignite her fighting spirit," Himeko thought with certainty. "If she has no fighting spirit, such a Valkyrie is useless."

"This absolutely cannot happen!"

Even though Cecilia wasn't her subordinate, had no affiliation, and her mouth was incredibly annoying, she absolutely couldn't watch a Valkyrie lose her fighting spirit and degenerate like this.

"Cecilia," Himeko said, "this isn't a fight for you alone, even though it's just a simulation. But what if this were a real battle?"

"What if the Collapse really happened in Changkong City? Would you still plan to be so dejected?"

"Is it okay to watch Changkong City turn into a living hell?"

"Schicksal may have wronged you."

"But as a Valkyrie."

"You don't protect Schicksal, you protect everyone living in this world."

"Remember the honor and duty of a Valkyrie!"

"Beautiful words," Li Pu thought sarcastically. "But I'm not a real Valkyrie!"

Facing the Ganesha in front of him, Li Pu was truly helpless. It seemed impossible to get past this stage today. Li Pu took half a step back, holding the Knight Spear in his hand.

Ganesha didn't attack, it seemed to be set to a mode where it wouldn't react unless attacked.

We've been talking for a while, and Ganesha still shows no reaction.

"Should I just continue this standoff?" A small idea formed in Li Pu's mind.

Since I can't win, and I can't retreat, then let's just have a standoff.

"If you're not going to attack,"

Suddenly, at this moment, a voice Li Pu least wanted to hear chimed in: "Then all the bonuses will be deducted, and this month's full attendance reward will be gone too."

"If you are defeated, then you won't have to continue working at St. Freya."

"What?!" Li Pu's eyes widened. "Lord Otto? It's just a simulated battle, isn't it? Is it necessary? Deducting bonuses is one thing, but getting fired if I lose?"

The person speaking was naturally Otto, who had appeared to watch without anyone knowing when.

"This is a place for training Valkyries," Otto said sternly. "The sole core is to train Valkyries, to cultivate excellent Valkyries!"

"If you cannot become an excellent guide, leading them onto the correct path."

"Then what use do you have here?!"

"Otto?!" Theresa snatched the microphone and said, "What are you doing here?! Cecilia doesn't need you to push her."

"Theresa~ my dear granddaughter," Otto pointed at the girl's retreating figure and said, "See? She's starting to take action."

Cecilia was taking action!

Cecilia, who had seemed so passively resistant to everything just moments ago, was actually starting to act. Although she hadn't officially begun fighting yet.

She had already adopted a fighting stance and intended to fight.

"Although I really don't want to fight, I have no choice," Li Pu thought silently. "So, you model worker pig, please be a good model worker."

"Time is money, grant me strength!"

'Cecilia!'

'I need to ask the System something first.'

A book to PY.

When I woke up in the morning, I was crying for some reason. I had the dream, but I could never remember it.

Amiya: "Doctor, you can't rest yet."

W: "Talulah, how much do you like your own chest?"

The two, who were originally mortal enemies, had accidentally swapped bodies.

Talulah: "We, the Reunion Movement, will fight for all Infected, and eradicate all acts of harming civilians! Soldiers of the Reunion Movement, we are no longer a terrorist organization!"

Doctor: "The capabilities of the medical companies are limited. The more we try to save the Infected, the more we fall into unexpected difficulties, and all our efforts will be in vain. Unless we surpass the companies, we, Rhodes Island, will become the most powerful resistance organization on Terra!"

Amiya, Mephisto: "??? Black man asking a question.jpg"

Terra's best-selling work of the year, jointly produced by "Reunion Movement" and "Rhodes Island," starring: Doctor, Talulah.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: I'm Up, and I've Already Lost

'My dear System, do you see any way around this?'

'You can't just let me lose for nothing, can you?'

Li Pu lowered his stance and tone completely, saying, 'You must have some other good stuff, right? Hurry up and show me!'

'Of course not.' The System's voice was filled with an extremely strong sense of schadenfreude. 'At best, I'll help you dig a grave, oh no, I'll call 120 for you.'

'Hey, hey! What the heck, are you just going to stand by and watch?'

Li Pu said anxiously, 'Damn it! What good will it do you if I get defeated?!'

'You can't just stand by and watch!'

'Am I just standing by and watching?' The System defended itself. 'I hate that you won't die, ah no! I hate that you're not living up to your potential, I'm planning to kick you while you're down!'

'And how are you so sure that I won't benefit at all if you're defeated?'

'You!!!' Li Pu was so angry he didn't know what to do. 'I'll be damned, so you're happy if I lose?'

His fighting spirit waned, but he refused to back down verbally. However, Li Pu couldn't seem to find any leverage over his System. Systems of the same type more or less had some small weakness that a transmigrator could exploit.

For example, 'complaining' or 'not cooperating,' or for the more ruthless, they could 'reduce expenses' for the System.

As for his System, it didn't buy him anything, and it didn't require him to complete tasks, only giving him chances to draw prizes every time.

Moreover, the System's tasks were rather laid-back, seemingly unconcerned whether he completed them or not.

Although this System was indeed hiding some things from him, he didn't have the nerve to complain.

This...

This was truly a bit of a dead end.

'Of course, I'm happy.' The System didn't wait for Li Pu to say anything else. 'Why wouldn't I be happy?'

'It's your own fault for not trying harder. What does your defeat have to do with me?'

'Besides, don't you already understand Cecilia very well?'

'If you can't even unleash your combat power with that.'

'So be it if you lose!'

'What else do you think I can do?' The System said, as if it were none of its business. 'I'm just a System~'

'You're the man who's going to become the King of Understanding, haven't you already understood some things about Cecilia?'

'If you can't even get past this small hurdle.'

'Then give up early.'

Within the System, this matter was very important! Li Pu's eyes snapped open in realization. He clenched the Apprentice Knight Spear in his hand and looked at the Honkai Beast before him.

Understand! Understand! I already understand some things. Even if I can't unleash my full combat power.

Even that little bit should be enough, right?

Now I'm up!

Li Pu felt he could do it. Li Pu charged forward, Li Pu...

Typed GG.

Yes, it was basically that simple, direct, and merciless. Li Pu was instantly killed by this Ganesha the moment he made his move. There were no exploding seeds, no roaring power-ups, and no sudden flashes of inspiration that made him incredibly powerful.

He simply charged forward, poked once, and was instantly killed by Ganesha.

Everyone present watched, dumbfounded.

Even Lord Otto was no exception!

He thought he had basically seen through the current Cecilia. Compared to the past, she was no longer so naive, nor did she still believe that 'love' could solve many problems.

The current Cecilia had become more realistic and more willing to fight for her own interests.

Lord Otto felt he had seen through many things.

Very many!

But the only thing he hadn't seen through was that Cecilia had been nerfed!

"This is impossible!" Lord Otto's mouth opened so wide it looked like a large lightbulb could fit inside without obstruction. "She was defeated so quickly?"

"This is impossible!"

No matter what, Lord Otto couldn't understand. She didn't seem any different! Although Cecilia still gave him the impression that she hadn't weakened.

But why was she instantly defeated?

He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried!

He couldn't understand because the reversal from before to now was too drastic. It left everyone in silence. No one spoke, as if no one knew what to do next.

This continued until Li Pu was carried out.

"What are you doing?!" Lord Otto walked to Li Pu's stretcher and looked at him, lying there with vacant eyes. "This is truly pathetic!"

It shouldn't be like this. Even if there are differences between this life and the past life, tracing back to his previous life...

He could also ascend to the form of his previous life, and more or less possess the strength of his previous life.

The former King Arthur, the former Saintess of Saniyat, their strength is regressing.

It shouldn't be to the point where he can't even defeat a Ganesha, right?
