Honkai City, Starting with the Anime Version of Honkai Impact 3rd

"No, it's not that no one cares; at least I care about them."

Theresa gently grasped the brown-haired girl's arms. Her touch was light, as if afraid that even the slightest pressure would touch her wounds.

Theresa promised them that she would send them away.

"Wait, Theresa, you're violating regulations..."

Patrick grabbed Theresa's shoulder. According to regulations, the test subjects had to be sent back to headquarters, and she believed that releasing them after they had been injected with Honkai energy would be a danger to society, a danger to the people.

Theresa glanced sideways at Patrick.

"You know St. Freya Academy, right..."

Patrick was taken aback.

The scene shifted to a picturesque landscape, with a Nordic-style castle under a blue sky, a stark contrast to the dim filter of the Tower of Babylon.

"Not long ago, I applied to Bishop..."

"Someday, they can return to normal life, or... become Valkyries as outstanding as you."

Theresa's heartfelt smile completely stunned Patrick.

She reluctantly agreed.]

"Heh, Destiny is truly ugly," Kalpas scoffed.

"Uh... Kalpas means the Destiny in the story," Sakura quickly tried to smooth things over, even though she was equally angry. After all, aside from Yaqing sitting behind her, her good friend was the president's wife of Destiny.

"I know, Sakura," Yaqing nodded, saying, "In every beautiful story, there will be a villain, perhaps President Otto, or perhaps... me."

"Ugh..." Elysia pulled on Yaqing's arm, her beautiful face staring seriously at Yaqing, and said sternly, "Yaqing, you're not allowed to write your character like that."

"I will, Elysia."

"Crack." The sound of something breaking came from somewhere, but after Kalpas broke the armrest of his chair, no one paid attention.

Only Su shook his head.

Elysia didn't know if she believed it or not, but she had already turned back to the screen, her pupils shining with light, and she clasped her hands together excitedly, saying, "What a wonderful idea~, this fairy wants to get to know Theresa more and more~?"

"Hehe." Kevin quickly hugged his girlfriend tightly.

"Pardo, is there any more potato chips?" Vill-V asked.

"Yes, yes, Sister Vill-V, thank you for your patronage." Pardo, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly perked up her ears, took out a bag of potato chips from under her seat, and her eyes flashed with the look of money.

"Truly worthy of being my little Theresa, growing up in that kind of situation, yet still maintaining a pure heart," Otto sighed, without the slightest awareness of being the mastermind.

After learning that the real Destiny had not done any of this, Kallen was relieved, but after hearing Otto's words, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, combining old and new grudges, and kicked Otto off the bed.

"Ouch."

"So St. Freya Academy has this kind of meaning?"

Perhaps she was projecting herself into it, but Sirin, who was nominally a student of St. Freya but had been on leave of absence, was stunned.

"Hey, that's you, Sirin~" Bella pointed at the big screen, suddenly had an idea, and whispered in Sirin's ear, "Queen~"

"Hey, Bella, don't call me that title! Seriously." Sirin's pretty face turned red.

Cecilia, who was sitting next to them, looked at the interaction between the two and revealed a maternal smile.

Ziegfried's face was very bad.

Coming to the company, he saw that his eldest daughter and Rita had a lesbian development.

Going to the academy, he saw that his third daughter and Raiden Mei had a lesbian development.

Going home, he also saw that his second daughter also had a lesbian tendency.

Ziegfried wanted to cry but had no tears; his three daughters were cutting off the family line!

["You really know how to say pretty words."

The purple-haired girl walked past Theresa, but Theresa acted as if she couldn't see her.

"Did someone just, say something?"

Theresa looked puzzled, but quickly thanked Patrick.

Patrick couldn't care less about Theresa, looking at the conspicuous Honkai energy residue on the iron fence, he fell into deep thought.

That night, at 12 o'clock late at night, next to the Honkai reactor.

The purple-haired girl stood in front of the inexplicably opened Honkai reactor. The strong Honkai energy index, which would infect ordinary people upon contact, was the best nourishment for the girl. As she reached out to absorb it, Patrick's voice came from behind.

"It ends here, Miss Criminal."

The purple-haired girl turned her head, curious how Patrick had discovered her, but for Patrick, who was known as a genius, it only took simple reasoning to connect everything.

"Did only you come?"

"I'm enough alone; more people would only alert the enemy."

Hearing Patrick's words, the purple-haired girl found it somewhat amusing, transitioning from a smile to unrestrained laughter, a sound both sorrowful and wild, as if recounting her suffering and the joy of impending revenge.

"Hahaha, wonderful! I finally have the chance to avenge myself against the Valkyries!"

"Revenge?!"

The purple-haired girl stood bathed in the light of Honkai energy.

"Those damned researchers used to say to me with a smile:"

"The experiments we conduct on you are for the purpose of creating the Stigmata found on Valkyries."

"We orphans should feel honored to sacrifice ourselves for the Valkyries, for Destiny."

The purple-haired girl raised her head, an eerie light flashing in her golden eyes, and clenched her right fist.

"Screw your honor, I'm not a sacrifice!"

"Today, I'll use my power to prove that I'm stronger than the Valkyries☆!"

Patrick was about to act when his expression suddenly changed.

"The light nearby is distorted, this is..."

In Patrick's shocked gaze, the screen went black.]

"Sirin, what are your thoughts on your first appearance?" Cecilia hugged Sirin, speaking in a joking tone.

Although it was a joke, a slight tremor could still be seen in Cecilia's shoulders.

"Ugh... so weak!" Sirin commented. "And why am I the villain?! That stinky uncle, he's definitely targeting me!"

Targeting?

Cecilia didn't think so. Because she was 15 years older than Yaqing, Yaqing was only 14 when she adopted Sirin. Sirin was very shy when she first came to their home, and Yaqing would tease her from time to time to help her integrate faster. Sirin hated this uncle who wasn't much older than her.

Speaking of targeting, Cecilia could feel that Yaqing's love for Sirin was no less than her own. Perhaps in Yaqing's eyes, he didn't treat Sirin as a niece, but as a younger sister.

[The screen lit up again, Otto sitting on the sofa, the sleeves of his white shirt unbuttoned, his gaze towards the screen seemingly disdainful, seemingly serious; no one knew his true thoughts.

Amber's slightly aloof voice rang out.

"A-Rank Valkyrie Patrick has mysteriously disappeared near the Honkai reactor. Only traces of her blood and weapon have been found."

"Since even an A-Rank Valkyrie couldn't escape unscathed, Bishop Otto, upon receiving the report, increased his attention to this incident."

"He not only dispatched the remaining two members of the original Snow Wolf Squad to the Tower of Babylon laboratory,"

"But also... him!"

The scene focused on the back of a man.]

Seeing this scene, Kiana, who was still stuffing potato chips into her mouth, was instantly dumbfounded, not even reacting to the chips falling on the ground.

"Noooo! Unfair, Uncle! No princess treatment!"

Whether it was her shut-in second sister killing an A-Rank Valkyrie with a wave of her hand in the story, or her stinky old man's final appearance, Kiana was so angry that she ran around in circles on the floor, crying and making a fuss.

"Kiana, the floor is dirty," Mei said gently, helplessly.

"Argh!" Theresa also started, "I'm not that short! What 12-year-old child's body? This headmaster is clearly a normal 1.53 meters tall! Yaqing, I'm not done with you!!!!"

Himeko sighed and rubbed her forehead.

Only Bronya silently took out her phone and started recording. Suddenly, Bronya noticed a gaze and looked over, only to see Fuhua Shishi also taking out her phone.

The two smiled at each other.

Chapter 14: Walter's Appearance

[Siberian Snowfield, five kilometers from the Tower of Babylon.

The snow was still falling. Tesla and Einstein, wrapped in cotton coats, stood on the snowfield in the biting wind, looking at the distant tower. Dr. Einstein said calmly, "Our best spy has entered the Tower of Babylon..."

Einstein's tone was very indifferent, but it revealed a lot.

For example, the best spy. Now they just needed to wait for the spy to send back intelligence, or perhaps she could secretly capture 'that person' and avoid engaging in combat with Destiny's forces. Walter also hoped to resolve this incident peacefully.

"Someone's coming," Walter Yang, standing under a pine tree, suddenly said.

In his sight, not far away, a figure was staggering towards them. As Walter approached, the audience could finally see that the so-called spy was Patrick.

The current Patrick was no longer the spirited person from yesterday. Her right arm was broken and missing, and the simply bandaged wound was still oozing blood. Only with Walter's support could she barely avoid falling.

"You've worked hard."

"I'm sorry, Alliance Leader, the mission failed..."

Patrick's voice was very weak, but she still struggled to report the situation to Walter. 'That person's' power had awakened and was still constantly growing stronger.

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me."

Faced with Walter's promise, Patrick was noncommittal, only hoping that Walter could do his best to protect her friends in Destiny.]

In the premiere ceremony's cinema, Shub, in order not to disturb others, could only frantically spam Patrick in the branch group chat on her phone.

"I didn't expect it, Patrick, you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're actually an Anti-Entropy spy." Shub had read the script, but that didn't stop her from teasing Patrick.

"Slander! This is pure slander! I am loyal to Destiny!" Patrick could only spam on her phone. Although she couldn't figure out why Yaqing would give her a spy role?

If President Otto were to misunderstand this!

Patrick was overthinking things.

As it turned out, Patrick was purely overthinking it. When Otto saw this scene, he didn't even remember who Patrick was. It was only after Kallen reminded him that he recalled.

[The scene shifts to the other side, where Sirin, having exhausted all her energy, sits leaning against the wall, her pretty face weary, yet she lets out a hysterical laugh. She staggers to her feet, wanting to absorb the energy from the Honkai reactor again.

"What... is this?"

Sirin looks in confusion at the mosquito flickering with purple light that's stopped in her palm? Sirin feels a strange sense of kinship from this unknown creature.

"You're saying... you'll help me draw them away?"

In front of the Honkai reactor, Theresa, who is guarding this place, looks at the conspicuous bloodstains and the Snow Wolf Squad badge on the ground. The person beside her is reporting on the personnel sent by headquarters to provide support.

Theresa hadn't been feeling down for long when a piercing alarm sounded in the silent space. Amidst the panicked voices, and with rousing background music, Theresa made an immediate decision.

"Don't panic, bring me my Judah—"

"I'll hold them back!"

Theresa had barely finished speaking when a communication forcefully cut in, followed by a slightly roguish but reassuring voice.

"No need, Theresa, you just stay inside the Tower and command."

The scene shifts to outside the Tower of Babylon, where Ziegfried, facing tens of thousands of Honkai beasts on the hillside, shows no fear. Behind him are the other two members of the Snow Wolf Squad, Shub-Niggurath and Salome Jokanaan.

"Leave the Honkai beasts to us."]

"Awesome!!!" Ziegfried clenched his fist forcefully, almost jumping up in excitement.

Sirin curled her lip.
