People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's explanation, You Lan Dai'er released Qiao Qiao's collar with a complicated expression, then turned her head to the side and said awkwardly, "Although I know you must have had ulterior motives for helping me, but... thank you for saving me just now."

Another purpose?

As a gamer, Qiao Qiao felt quite conflicted after hearing these words. Did she think that I saved her life just to use her?

However... there's nothing we can do about Durandal's thoughts. After all, she's a torturer of the world, so how could she possibly be genuinely kind to her?

Although Durandal knew that Jojo's rescue was just another attempt to use her, she still felt a strange and inexplicable feeling when Jojo fought the jackal for her.

She has always strived to protect others since she was a child, but this is the first time she has been protected by someone else.

Even if he had ulterior motives for helping her, even if he only wanted to toy with her feelings, Durandal still couldn't help but feel strange emotions.

"No...impossible! There's absolutely no way I could like a bastard who likes to train me!"

Yulandel muttered to herself, not letting Qiaoqiao hear.

Qiao Qiao was well aware of her current villainous role, so she said coldly, "Since you know that I saved you for another reason, shouldn't you repay me?"

"To repay you?"

When Youlandai heard Qiaoqiao's words, her mood clearly dropped a little.

Sure enough... he helped me only to achieve his own goals, and those sweet words were just toying with my feelings.

But so what?

Although Jojo is my enemy, he's incredibly "gentle" towards me. If it weren't for him, I can hardly imagine how miserable my life would be in the World Serpent...

At first, Durandal felt only fear and contempt upon seeing Jojo... and a little bit of lust for his beauty.

But now... Durandal has developed special feelings for Jojo, and even feels that he is her only solace in this prison.

If I could continue to feel his tenderness like this... then I would be willing to be deceived and manipulated by him...

Durandal raised her bright, jewel-like blue eyes to look at Jojo, and asked with some confusion, "How do you want me to repay you?"

Looking at Durandal's charming face, Qiao Qiao immediately used her "King of a Hundred Faces" talent to play the villain, gently provoking Durandal and saying, "Durandal, don't you long to leave the World Serpent and return to Schicksal with your companions?"

"go back?"

Upon hearing that she could return to Destiny, Durandal's heart immediately stirred, and her face brightened. However, she quickly turned away with a hint of disappointment, avoiding Jojo's gaze: "Even if I wanted to go back, what could I do? You wouldn't let me go back."

As the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, she naturally longs to return to Schicksal, to the other members of the Undying Blade, and to fight alongside them against the Honkai.

“No…” Seeing that Durandal was determined to obtain the Mandate of Heaven, Jojo immediately came up with a plan to persuade her. She smiled slightly and said, “I can return your Godslayer Armor and the Divine Key to you and release you and your companions, but you must do me a favor.”

Upon hearing that she could regain her freedom, Durandal's eyes trembled as she looked at Jojo. Uncharacteristically, she took Jojo's hand and asked, "Are you really willing to return the Godslayer Armor and the Divine Key to me?"

There are two reasons why Durandal is currently unable to exert her original strength. First, the anti-Honkai energy serum in her body has not yet been cleared, which greatly weakens her ability to control Honkai energy. Second, her Black Abyss White Flower and Godslayer Armor are not with her.

After taking the antidote, the anti-Honkai serum can be gradually eliminated through normal metabolism. However, even if Durandal regains her original Honkai energy control, it will not be easy for her to take the Divine Key and the Godslayer Armor from the heavily guarded World Serpent.

Qiao Qiao's willingness to return the Godslayer Armor and the Black Abyss White Flower to her directly was a huge help to her.

But when she thought about her and Qiaoqiao's positions, Durandal hesitated and let go of Qiaoqiao's hand: "You gave me the Godslayer Armor and the Black Abyss White Flower, what do you want me to do for you?"

Durandal knew perfectly well that Jojo was an extremely intelligent person, and the fact that she was willing to offer the Godslayer Armor and the Divine Key meant that what she wanted her help with must be extraordinary.

“It’s very simple.” JoJo’s purple eyes shimmered with a faint purple light as she whispered with a smile in Durandal’s ear, “I want you to help me obtain the core of the Fourth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Wind.”

Upon hearing JoJo's words, Durandal looked somewhat taken aback. She knew that according to Schicksal's records, only the first three Herrschers had appeared in the world so far, and the fourth Herrscher had not yet appeared.

Qiao Qiao actually entrusted me to obtain the core of a Herrscher that hasn't appeared yet. Is he just bored and playing a joke on me?

No... Durandal doesn't think someone like Jojo would say such nonsensical things.

She once had the good fortune to meet Ying Jie in another world bubble, who believed he could predict the future by observing parallel worlds. Perhaps Qiao Qiao has the same ability as him, or some other ability to foresee the future.

Unlike Otto and Durandal, who were well-versed in the game's plot, Jojo knew that the Fourth Herrscher was about to descend upon the world in the Atlantic Ocean through Wendy.

Moreover, her birth would destroy the entire Destiny Atlantic base.

Jojo wants to obtain her Herrscher of the Wind core before she destroys the Atlantic base.

However, it would be difficult for Jojo to obtain the Herrscher core with 100% certainty, so he needs a reliable helper, and the most suitable helper would naturally be Durandal, the number one in the world.

Upon hearing that Qiao Qiao wanted to seize the Herrscher core, given her usual single-minded personality, she would never help World Serpent in its evil deeds.

But... she really wanted to get back the Godslayer Armor and the Black Abyss White Flower.

As long as we get these two weapons back, even though the control over Honkai energy hasn't been fully repaired yet, we won't be completely powerless against World Serpent executives Jackal or JoJo.

Even...once her strength recovers a bit more, she can directly kill that villain Qiao Qiao, destroy the World Serpent, and take her companions out.

Before that, she had to obey Jojo like a lamb, even though it went against her heart.

“Alright, I believe you.” Durandal made up his mind, looked up at Jojo, and said in a deep voice, “I am willing to fight the Herrscher of Wind with you.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but laugh out loud. With the help of the first Herrscher of Destiny, obtaining the Herrscher of Wind would be a piece of cake for him.

"Very well, since you're cooperating so well, I'll keep my promise."

Qiaoqiao wasn't going to fool Durandal. A light flashed in her hand, and she handed Durandal a white spear.

"you...."

Durandal took the white flower from Jojo's hand, her eyes trembling with surprise. He actually returned the flower to me like that?

The surprise came so suddenly that even Durandal was stunned for a moment, but she quickly gripped the spear in her hand and looked at Jojo with a strange expression.

Now that the white flower is in my hands and I'm not bound, this is the perfect opportunity to strike...

Chapter Ninety-Three: Rita Losweiser in Siberia

On the snow-covered Siberian plains, towering Titan mechs, equipped with sophisticated modern weaponry, raced across the land in the same direction, their feet pounding the snow.

A black warship, its stern spewing flames, hovered in mid-air. On its deck, girls in various styles of armor leaped down and fought against the high-tech drones, Armor Titans, which wielded enormous weapons and controlled Honkai energy and steel.

As the Valkyrie used her weapon to destroy the Titan's core, a graceful young woman stood elegantly on the edge of the platform. She wore black Shadow Iron armor, a black headdress with horns resembling Katyusha's, and her loose gray hair obscured her left eye. Black stockings encased her soft, smooth legs. Her exquisite beauty appeared even more alluring and mysterious in the moonlight.

Yet this beautiful young woman wields a ferocious weapon even larger than herself—the scythe: Aphrodite.

As Rita watched the Valkyrie forces destroy the Titan mechs one by one, she skillfully swung her scythe, a smile playing on her lips.

"Well... it's time to start cleaning up the battlefield!"

Bathed in moonlight, a beautiful figure departed from the ship's deck, landing like a swallow among the Titans. Blue lightning crackled from the blade of her scythe, easily tearing apart the sturdy steel shells of the surrounding Titans. Her movements were as graceful as a dancer's, and no matter how many Titans there were, they were as fragile as toys before her.

The Valkyries, who already had a one-sided advantage, became even more eager to fight when they saw Rita join the battle.

"It's Vice Captain Rita! She actually came to the battlefield in person!"

"I absolutely have to make a good impression on her!"

"Lady Rita truly lives up to her S-rank Valkyrie status; her strength is on a completely different level from those Titan mechs!"

With Rita joining the fray, the Valkyries on the battlefield relentlessly destroyed the Titan mechs, like scythes harvesting leeks.

In the blink of an eye, the wreckage of the destroyed Titan mechs on the Siberian snowfield piled up into a high mountain, most of which were defeated by Rita Losweiser, the vice-captain of the Undying Blade.

After the battle ended, the Valkyrie squad members who had won by default with Rita looked at the stunning beauty standing on the wreckage of the mech with admiration.

"Lady Rita! She is always so elegant and beautiful, no matter what!"

"However... the vice-captain's fighting style tonight seemed unusually brutal... he seemed to be in a bad mood..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all... Durandal is still completely out of contact... We don't know what happened to her."

"Shh! You must never mention Lady Durandal in front of Lady Rita!"

After being reminded by someone, the Valkyries, who had been chatting away, immediately fell silent.

Rita knew her subordinates would definitely talk about Durandal's disappearance, but to avoid causing panic, she still concealed the fact that Durandal had been captured by the World Serpent.

Back on the warship, Rita directed her Valkyries to clean up the battlefield. Just then, the bridge's communication channel suddenly opened, and a blond, blue-eyed man with delicate, almost feminine features appeared on the large screen.

Upon seeing the man, Rita bowed respectfully and said, "Rita Roseweiser greets Your Excellency the Bishop."

Otto waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, Rita, don't worry too much about trivial formalities... How did you do with the task I assigned you on the Siberian plains?"

Upon hearing Otto's question, Rita calmly described the situation on the Siberian battlefield: "My Lord Archbishop, the squad I lead has successfully eliminated four mech units of the Anti-Entropy rebels. Apart from the main force, all other units have been wiped out."

"Haha!" Upon hearing Rita's report, Otto couldn't help but laugh out loud, even clapping his hands and praising her achievement without reservation: "Rita, you truly live up to my expectations. You never disappoint me. You completed the mission even better than I imagined."

Rita Rossweisse, like Durandal, is a rare S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, but there are significant differences between the two.

Durandal's way of fighting enemies is to rely on her powerful strength to directly kill them, without resorting to any fancy tricks.

While Rita may not be as strong as Durandal, she is very intelligent and meticulous in her work. Even Otto is amazed by her meticulous work attitude.

"I dare not accept such praise." Rita bowed to Otto, appearing as humble as a maid: "This is all thanks to Lord Otto's wise leadership and the efforts of the other Valkyries."

Rita's words were very polite, but Otto was very pleased and nodded in satisfaction.

"Now that you've almost destroyed Anti-Entropy's mech forces, then... you must strike while the iron is hot and find their main force as soon as possible. Don't give them a chance to catch their breath."

“Yes, Your Grace.” Rita nodded and bowed, “I have already dispatched reconnaissance teams and drones to locate Lady Cocolia’s forces.”

Seeing that Rita didn't need his orders to capture Cocolia, Otto was very satisfied with her meticulous thinking.

“You did a great job,” Otto said. “But you don’t need to rush. After all, catching that she-fox Cocolia is no easy task.”

"Rita will definitely complete the task entrusted to her by the bishop as soon as possible..."

Rita spoke with certainty, then suddenly looked up at Otto, asking somewhat anxiously, "Your Excellency, is there any news of Lady Durandal from headquarters?"

The only person in the world who could make the intelligent and calm Rita show a look of anxiety is probably Durandal.

As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos.

On the screen, Otto sighed regretfully: "At present, Schicksal headquarters has not received any more information about Durandal."

"Is that so...? Well then, I apologize for disturbing you, Your Excellency."

Upon hearing Otto's reply, Rita's expression immediately fell. She was deeply worried about the safety of her close friend Durandal and constantly thought about finding her and rescuing her. However, Destiny didn't even know where Durandal had been taken, so she could only prioritize refusing Bishop Otto's mission to uncover the remnants of Anti-Entropy and wait for news of Durandal from headquarters.

Hopefully... it's not too late.

Seeing Rita's deep concern for Durandal's safety, Otto immediately comforted her, saying, "Rita, you don't need to worry about Durandal's life... because... the person who took Durandal away is not simple... Although he enjoys conducting human experiments, hates Schicksal intensely, and has even killed many important Schicksal personnel, I believe he wouldn't harm an innocent Valkyrie."

Otto may have wanted to reassure Rita, but now it has had the opposite effect.

Human experimentation...

They killed many of the chosen ones.
