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

"You...you really want to help me?"

Cocolia said with some suspicion, "She was a soldier by training and had already taken on an important position in Anti-Entropy at a young age. Many people approached her for personal gain, so she was wary of other people's kindness, let alone help like Jojo's that was given without expecting anything in return."

Qiao Qiao nodded gently, spread her hands, and said leisurely, "Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the current Anti-Entropy is simply powerless against the Destiny led by Bishop Otto. Even if I wanted to harm you, I could have let Destiny destroy you. Why would I go through all this trouble to come to your door?"

Cocolia nodded thoughtfully. Regardless of any self-interest JoJo might have in approaching her, as long as she could genuinely help her, she wouldn't refuse. After all, having an S-rank Valkyrie by her side was a formidable asset.

"Then...why do you want to help me?"

“Because we have a common enemy…” Jojo looked at Cocolia, her eyes flashing with a purple light, sharp as a hawk on the hunt: “We both want to change our terrible fate with our own hands, even if others see it as inhumane, or even ruthless…”

Cocolia didn't understand why Jojo was so hostile to Destiny, but now that she knew his reasons for helping her, her guard relaxed a little.

Of course, the possibility that Jojo was deceiving her cannot be ruled out, but Cocolia does not intend to miss out on such a powerful fighting force as Durandal.

“Since you’re willing to help Anti-Entropy, we won’t neglect someone who can help us. I’ll prepare rooms for you and Durandal.” Cocolia asked, “Do you two usually sleep together or separately?”

Cocolia still doesn't understand the relationship between Jojo and Durandal. She only knows that Durandal seems to obey Jojo's orders. She never imagined that Durandal was doing this because Jojo had something on her hands.

"The rooms must be separate, of course!"

Durandal spoke before Jojo could.

"I can do it."

Qiao Qiao didn't object either. After all, Durandal's companions were still in the World Serpent, so why would she run away in the middle of the night?

"Our rooms should be as close as possible, and... I'd also like to borrow your Anti-Entropy drug research lab."

Cocolia suspected that the relationship between Jojo and Durandal was not simple, and that they could easily arrange for their rooms to be next to each other. As for the request to use the drug research lab, Cocolia thought it was perfectly normal, since Jojo's identity as a top-level pharmacology doctor when she entered the ME Corporation headquarters building was that of a top-level pharmacology doctor, so naturally she would want the corresponding facilities.

"I will arrange rooms for the two of you. If you have any questions or anything important, you can ask me. I will also arrange for my two daughters to show you around the area."

Durandal blinked in surprise when Cocolia mentioned her daughter: "Miss Cocolia, you already have two daughters?"

When talking about her daughters, Cocolia's face lit up with undisguised joy: "I don't just have two daughters, I have eight just the age of you and your Jojo."

"Eight..."

Durandal stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Although Miss Cocolia was a bit older than her, she was definitely a mature and charming beauty with a curvaceous figure, without an ounce of excess fat, and a beautiful figure. You couldn't tell at all that she had given birth to so many children.

If she were in Russia, she would definitely be hailed as a hero mother for having so many children.

Thinking of this, Durandal, who had never had a mother, couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Cocolia: "You are truly an amazing mother to be able to take such good care of your child."

Upon hearing Durandal's words, Cocolia's expression was not one of joy, but rather one of complexity and even disappointment. Even though Anti-Entropy was constantly being pursued by Schicksal, she could only flee with her children. She regarded the children in the orphanage as something more important than her own life, but whether she had actually protected them was still an unknown.

Seeing that Cocolia hadn't revealed her true feelings to Durandal, Jojo didn't know if Cocolia was deliberately teasing Durandal. After all, it was quite funny that the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny was such a simpleton.

"Those children were all adopted by Miss Cocolia, weren't they?"

"Huh? I thought..."

After Qiao Qiao pointed it out, Durandal realized that she had misunderstood.

"I was hoping to keep it a secret for a while longer, but it seems Mr. Qiao Qiao did thorough research on me before coming here."

Cocolia had indeed been teasing Durandal, deliberately keeping it from her. Now that Jojo had seen through her lie, she chuckled and said, "However... although they are not my biological children, they are just as important to me as my own. I will never allow anyone to hurt them."

Hearing this, Durandal glanced at Jojo. She had heard Jojo say before that if she wanted to tame Cocolia, she had to start with her child. It seemed that he was right.

As a mother, Cocolia's child is the most important thing in her heart.

I just don't know how that wicked Jojo plans to use Cocolia's child.

“I’ll call Lilia and Rosalia over right now… You’re all around the same age, so there’s no generation gap between you. It’s much better than talking to an old aunt like me.”

Jojo recalled the enthusiastic Rosalia and the quiet, adorable Lilia. Although the two sisters had completely different personalities, they always made a lot of noise when they got together.

"I might prefer talking to a mature woman like Cocolia rather than those two young girls."

Hearing Qiao Qiao's frivolous teasing, Cocolia's face flushed slightly. Although she knew it was just his casual banter, coupled with his handsome face, she couldn't help but feel a little more anticipation.

Durandal stood there, stunned. Didn't he say he liked me before? Why does he seem to like mature women now?

Sure enough... he was just toying with my feelings from beginning to end, and not a single word of truth came out of his mouth.

"Qiaoqiao, you have such a sweet tongue."

Cocolia said somewhat embarrassedly, then went outside and called Lilia and Rosalia.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Cocolia initiated the call several minutes ago, but there was still no answer. This made Cocolia frown slightly: "Strange... Did Lilia and Rosalia go out to play together again?"

Rosalia and Lilia were still children, and it was common for them to run off to play and not answer the phone, so Cocolia didn't take it to heart.

Suddenly, the corridor floor began to shake as if an earthquake had struck. Cocolia received a new communication, opened it, and froze on the spot.

"What's going on? Has this place been attacked?"

Durandal seemed to smell gunpowder and burning in the air, while Jojo looked up and saw a huge warship circling in the sky outside the window.

Moreover, judging from its appearance, that warship belongs to the Destiny's Eos.

“Mr. Jojo and Miss Durandal…” Cocolia hurriedly opened the door and said, “The Schicksal forces attacked the ME Corporation headquarters building. I need to go and command the operation. What are your plans?”

Upon hearing Cocolia's words, Jojo's lips curled up slightly. He had been worried about not having a chance to gain favor with Cocolia, but he didn't expect that the people of Destiny would come knocking on his door so quickly.

“Durandal, come here, come with me to meet your friends.”

Outside the ME Corporation headquarters building, the massive Titan armor was revealed, its shoulder-mounted cannons aimed at the attacking Valkyrie forces, continuously firing deadly bullets.

Meanwhile, the girls clad in Valkyrie armor wielded heavy weapons that contrasted sharply with their slender figures. With the agility of sparrows, they dodged the Titans' attacks and wielded their sharp weapons to directly destroy the core of the Titan armor's head.

Within minutes of the start of the battle, under the fierce attack of Schicksal's most elite Valkyries, Anti-Entropy's armor kept falling, causing them to suffer a major financial loss.

"Lilia, what should we do now?" The cherry blossom-haired girl hugged the light blue-haired girl tightly, her voice trembling as she said, "We were just out having some fun, how did we run into those big bad guys from Schicksal?!"

"Rosalia, you big idiot! It's all your fault for insisting on coming out to play. Now we might both be killed by the Valkyries of Destiny!"

"Hmm...you didn't object to us going out to play back then, did you?"

The two women hid behind the wrecked Titan mech. Rosalia's chest spike pierced Lilia's hair, making her angrily say, "Rosalia, you big idiot, get away from Lilia!"

"No! I won't let Lilia escape alone!"

"Idiot, your spikes have pricked Lilia!"

Just as the two sisters were arguing, a cold light cleaved through their cover, and a Valkyrie, dressed as a maid and wielding a scythe, walked up to the two isolated girls with smooth, white legs, a smile on her blood-stained face.

"Hello, you two, are you separated from your parents?"

Lilia and Rosalia were terrified when they saw Rita's blood-stained face reveal a sinister and evil smile. They huddled together like conjoined twins.

"Mother Cocolia!"

Chapter 97 Rita: Who exactly are you?

[The Schicksal forces attacked the ME Corporation headquarters where Cocolia was located, and Rita happened to find Lilia and Rosalia on the battlefield. She took them to a safe place and told them to hide and not come out.]

The Valkyries of Destiny held an overwhelming advantage against the Titans of Anti-Entropy. Anti-Entropy members, clad in bulletproof vests and wielding firearms, relentlessly pursued the Valkyries, who swept through the battlefield with devastating speed. Countless Titans, billowing black smoke, collapsed in the chaotic streets, and Anti-Entropy members fell one after another.

Even without Rita taking the stage, the conservative forces at ME Corporation headquarters were utterly overwhelmed, demonstrating the vast difference in strength between Anti-Entropy and Destiny.

However... this was within Qiao Qiao's expectations.

Anti-Entropy's power was already far inferior to Schicksal's, and when it split into the reformist faction led by Cocolia and the conservative faction led by Einstein, its power was further divided. It was quite normal that it could not defeat Schicksal's top Valkyrie forces.

Cocolia has already headed to the command center, while you stand in the ME Corporation headquarters building, looking down at the streets littered with the wreckage of mechs. The Valkyrie, wielding heavy weapons, easily defeats the guards wearing bulletproof vests, and you silently make your choice...

[Option 1: A wise person doesn't stand under a crumbling wall. Quickly have Durandal take you away with her.]

[Option 2: Having finally established a cooperative relationship with Cocolia, we must not give up easily. Shout, "Paratrooper Number One, Jojo, ready!" and then jump from the high-rise building.]

[Option 3: Take out a French flag, cut off the white part in the middle, and make a white flag to surrender.]

If I were to run away with Durandal at this critical juncture, I would lose all face, and if word got back to the World Serpent, I'd probably be finished.

The third option is suspected of being offensive, and surrendering is just as shameful as running away.

Although Cocolia is not a good person and being hunted down by Schicksal can be said to be her own fault, Otto, the bishop of Schicksal, conducted human experiments and was the mastermind behind several Honkai events. She is not a glorious or righteous organization.

The two of them were fighting over each other, and Qiaoqiao shouldn't have interfered; she should have just sat back and watched them fight.

But now that he has finally won over Cocolia's heart and gained her trust, and wants Anti-Entropy to work for him, he can't let Fate ruin his plans.

I choose... second.

[You shout at the ME Corporation headquarters, "Paratrooper One, Jojo, ready!", then break a window and jump in front of Cocolia and Durandal.]

[Congratulations, host, for completing the optional task and obtaining the "Wind Descent" skill. Note: The host can use this skill when descending from a high altitude to control airflow to protect the body and land safely.]

[You use the "Wind Descent" skill, landing atop the wreckage of the Titan mech, looking down at the Valkyrie reaping the rewards from the Titan mech and its armed personnel.]

Your appearance also attracted the attention of many Valkyries, who all turned to look in your direction, seemingly curious about your identity.

[You, with an icy expression, said to the Valkyrie, "I'm giving you five seconds to think. If you don't want to get hurt, retreat!"]

The Valkyrie was quite surprised by your appearance. After all, Anti-Entropy is different from Schicksal; their main fighting force consists of inhuman Titan mechs. Although their armed personnel are well-equipped, they are ultimately no match for Valkyries with Stigmata. Few people would willingly step forward, especially not with such arrogance.

[A Valkyrie raises her blade at you and says, "It's rare to see Anti-Entropy members not hiding behind their mechs but fighting head-on. You're quite the man, but unfortunately... you're too overconfident. Watch how I deal with you!"]

[A Valkyrie ignored your warning and lunged at you with her sword, but you coldly replied, "I gave you a chance to retreat, but you didn't seize it, so don't blame me!"]

[You used "Deliberate Blow" to hit the Valkyrie in the abdomen, triggering "Subduing Might" to increase damage by 30%.]

The Valkyrie, struck in the abdomen, contorted in pain before collapsing unconscious.

Seeing the Valkyrie unconscious, what will your next move be...?

Option 1: Strip her of her Valkyrie attire and subject her to the ultimate humiliation in front of her companions.

[Option 2: Carry the unconscious Valkyrie like a sack of rice to a room on the second floor of ME Corporation headquarters, and give her a good "training".]

Option 3: Step on her and coldly say to her companions, "I don't have time for you bunch of weaklings. Quickly call an S-rank Valkyrie or Otto here!"

Ah this...

This Valkyrie was all talk and no action; she'll be in deep trouble later.

None of these three options are feasible, so as usual, I'll choose the more plausible one.

I choose number three!

Seeing you take down your companion with a single punch, the other Valkyries, who had previously looked down on you, immediately became wary: "This man is not simple. Let's all attack together. Don't let our guard down."
