The Captain Just Wants to Go Home and Play Games

Unlike the original Theresa, this girl, also bearing the name 'Theresa,' was destined for tragedy from birth. At least in the game, her final outcome was one of two: either shot and killed by her beloved 'Captain,' or the Captain, in an attempt to save her, shot and killed Theresa's sister, Kallen, leading to Theresa's mental breakdown and eventual death.

Is it wrong for an artificial human to crave freedom and seek the value of their own life?

In Mo Yi's eyes, no!

If anyone's fault is to be assigned, it's probably Otto Apocalypse, the Grand Bishop of Schicksal, who created all these tragedies. The Pot of this World in the Honkai world only sought to revive his fiancée Kallen, who fell for a fox spirit.

Yes, at the very least, the tragedy of Valkyrie: Eclipse was caused by him.

Undoubtedly, Otto is also a pitiable figure, but that doesn't change the fact that all Captains are eagerly awaiting the next story update where Lord Otto will finally show his health bar.

PS: The most infuriating thing about Honkai Impact 3rd is that they know Green Otto is the big boss and that defeating him would likely drop a divine artifact, but the developers refuse to let him show his health bar.

Chapter 35: My Socks Don't Stink at All!

Since Kiana has appeared, it doesn't seem like a big deal for an alternate universe aunt to show up now.

Mo Yi quickly accepted this reality. The only question was, why were Kiana and his aunt fighting?

He then looked at the purple-haired girl next to Kiana, who had just attacked him.

He recognized her identity just as quickly!

Isn't this the legendary Miss Super Pufferfish with the six-core drive, Sirin, the Second Herrscher who only lived in memories? Why is she here with Kiana now?

According to the story of Honkai Impact 3rd, her formal debut should have been through a hallucination, breaking Kiana, possessing her body, and evolving into the white long-haired Queen Kiana.

As for Sirin's birth, yes, it brings us back to Lord Otto of Schicksal in the Honkai world. Sirin was originally an ordinary person but was captured by Schicksal for experimentation. Due to her special physique, she successfully withstood a large amount of Honkai Energy, forming a Herrscher Core and transforming into the Second Herrscher.

In summary, yet another little girl forced into becoming a boss by Lord Otto's persecution.

Sirin, having successfully become a Herrscher, naturally wanted revenge on Schicksal, who had tormented her for years. This marked the beginning of the legendary story of the previous generation.

Sirin obtained a treasure on the moon and transformed into the five-core Pufferfish. On the moon, she first defeated Welt Yang, the leader of Anti-Entropy, a true man whose experience and personal beliefs would make him the protagonist in any other world.

With the Herrscher of Reason's core, Sirin became arrogant. Even other Herrschers couldn't defeat her. Who else in this world could possibly defeat her? With her six-core drive, she evolved into the ultimate God Pufferfish Beast. How could she possibly lose?!

Then, she was successively beaten by Immortal Vermilion Bird (Fu Hua) with her Inch Punch Opens the Sky, Siegfried, her "scumbag dad" who claimed he was about to unleash an incredibly powerful attack, and Kiana's mother Cecilia, who seemed to be cheating. Finally, her full divine equipment was repossessed by Green Otto and Anti-Entropy.

It's worth mentioning that in Honkai Impact 2, Sirin was the adopted daughter of Cocolia, the "King of Pots" of Anti-Entropy, but not in Honkai Impact 3rd. Mo Yi was currently unsure what the situation was in his own world.

Of course, Mo Yi also noticed that her state was not right; her ethereal form was clearly an unstable energy body.

When Mo Yi first saw her, he thought the story hadn't even begun yet, and he was about to face a boss outside the newbie village. He was supposed to be the one to cause trouble in Changkong City!

As for why she could appear next to Kiana in an energy form and even help Kiana fight, Mo Yi no longer wanted to delve into it. After all, she wouldn't tell him even if he asked.

All Mo Yi could do was improve his strength. Whether he wanted to slack off and watch the show or decide to get involved in the future, without absolute strength, he would only be powerless.

"Mo Yi, why are you here?"

Kiana's feelings were complicated. She had thought Mo Yi was an ordinary person and had even risked her life to send him a warning message. She never expected him to be such an 'ordinary person.' Emotionally, she felt deceived.

But at this moment, he was clearly here to save her, which moved her. Since she had been drifting alone, this was the first time anyone had treated her like this.

Furthermore, Kiana was very curious about Mo Yi's previous actions: the magic circle appearing, then him disappearing and reappearing beside her in an unknown way, and suddenly changing into a strange outfit and mask.

"You sent me a message, how could I not come?"

Mo Yi complained speechlessly:

"Next time you send a message like this, can you send the location first? I went to a lot of trouble to find you."

"Sorry, I'll remember next time."

Hmph, since you bothered to come help me, I'll reluctantly accept your suggestion.

Mo Yi: "..."

Shouldn't the focus be on the fact that there will be a next time?

"Huh?!"

Kiana suddenly noticed something that shocked her: Mo Yi was holding something familiar in his left hand. It seemed to be the smelly socks she had taken off last night and hadn't washed yet.

Without modesty, Kiana, who delivered food all day, must have sweated a lot. Plus, socks, even if not changed, wouldn't be noticed as long as her shoes weren't off, unlike clothes.

So, when Kiana's laziness kicked in, she would wear a pair of socks for several days before changing them. It was understandable that they might have a strong odor.

"Mo Yi, why are you holding my smelly socks?"

Kiana suddenly gasped, couldn't help but take a step back, and looked at Mo Yi with a gaze that was a mixture of surprise, contempt, and pity. After two seconds, she sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Since you came to save me this time, I'll reluctantly agree to wash my socks for you from now on."

"Use them if you want, but remember to wash them clean."

Mo Yi: "..."

"What are you thinking, you idiot!!"

"I used your socks as a medium to activate my ability and find you."

"Who the hell wants to use your socks? Who knows how many days they haven't been washed, they smell so bad. I'm begging you, please be a clean girl and change your clothes every day. What do you say?"

After saying that, Mo Yi, with great disgust, threw the socks he had forgotten about and was still holding back to Kiana.

Since Mo Yi's appearance, Sirin and Theresa's attention had been drawn to him. Neither of them intended to attack. Sirin knew Mo Yi was reinforcements and naturally didn't want to waste any more Honkai Energy. Theresa recognized Mo Yi and naturally had no desire to continue fighting. She was now thinking of going up to talk to Big Brother and thank him for his help last time, but due to her shyness and Mo Yi currently talking with Kiana, she felt embarrassed to interrupt and could only watch Mo Yi silently.

"Big Brother is right—"

Theresa, having dispelled the red mist and landed back on the ground, pinched her nose and breathed through her mouth. Finally finding an opportunity to interject, she pointed at the white sock in Kiana's hand and agreed, "The delivery girl's socks really stink. It only felt a bit better after Theresa pinched her nose."

Kiana: "..."

What kind of brat are you saying that?! Believe it or not, I'll have my Stand blast you to death!

Besides, we're enemies, so why are you butting in so casually?!

"They don't stink at all—"

Feeling insulted, Kiana took the sock and sniffed it herself. Since it was her own scent, it didn't smell bad to her. She argued forcefully, "And I wash my clothes every day, Mo Yi, don't you slander me out of the blue!"

Mo Yi retorted:

"But how do you explain that huge pile of unwashed clothes I just saw in your room?"
