To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

"Now, Schicksal's S-rank Valkyrie, are you alright?"

Cocolia sneered, looking at the immobilized Rita, and pointed the gun in her right hand at Rita's round thigh.

“Hehe, Rita won’t be defeated here,” Rita said, raising her head as she looked directly at Cocolia, who was clutching her leg in the distance.

Even though she could barely move, she still sneered, "What, you're jealous because you got a hole in your leg?"

"Humph!"

With a "bang," a bullet came flying in.

Rita swung the scythe with all her might, but the force of gravity backfired, causing her to stumble.

The bullet was originally aimed at the thigh, but now its trajectory is towards the waist, while the scythe has completely deviated from its intended target.

Rita was helpless. She had come in a hurry and hadn't had time to bring the new Valkyrie armor. The one she was wearing was just a basic model, barely enough to stop bullets.

She closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come.

Unexpectedly, there was no sensation of a bullet piercing the skin and entering the body.

Rita opened her eyes. What she had just done was a subconscious action when faced with known pain; she was not afraid of a tiny bullet.

"Class monitor!?" Bronya exclaimed in disbelief.

As a red feather floated up from Rita's body and slowly dissipated in the air, a figure appeared.

Before Rita's eyes stood Fu Hua, dressed in a crimson cheongsam with red and white hair, standing silently in mid-air.

Come to think of it, I've never seen Lady Fu Hua dressed like this before, well... except in the game.

Fu Hua casually picked up a bullet, her brows furrowed as she looked at the scene before her.

Cocolia felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the person who had suddenly arrived, sensing something was wrong.

With a wave of his right hand, he indicated that gravity should also be applied to the person in front of him.

But Fu Hua remained floating above, never coming down.

"You, are you really the Crimson Iris Immortal?"

Cocolia had naturally seen the game, and she always thought that the game was just a facade, merely a propaganda ploy for Destiny, even if it did have some similarities to reality.

But if someone suddenly appears in front of you, and is not affected by gravity, could it really be the Crimson Kite Immortal?

Fu Hua didn't respond. She nodded slightly to Rita, instantly teleported near the two Welts, and smashed one of their heads with a single punch.

Fu Hua frowned slightly at the faces hidden under the hood. They were comrades who had fought alongside her, but the two in front of her could not possibly be Welt!

She casually tossed the two bodies aside, glanced sideways at the terrified Cocolia, and said nothing more.

At this moment, Xing could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground unconscious. She had used the Holy Mark ability more than she had used today.

She returned to Rita's side and said, "Rita, I'm leaving this to you."

"Lord Fu Hua, what about your health?"

“I’m much better now, no need to worry,” Fu Hua shook her head, glanced outside and said, “Durandal will be here soon, I’ll be going now.”

Rita straightened up and said, "Then, I'll respectfully see Lady Fu Hua off."

Fu Hua's figure slowly disappeared.

Just as Rita went over to help Bronya up, she turned around and saw Cocolia.

She raised the pistol, closed her eyes, pressed it against her temple, and gripped the trigger.

"Mommy Cocolia, no!" Bronya cried out hastily.

"I have lost, although I had already lost long ago when I broke away from anti-entropy, was abandoned by the World Serpent, and was relentlessly pursued by destiny."

Cocolia continued, "But Bronya, you're wrong about one thing. My main purpose in conducting these experiments was to rescue Seele."

"Your arrival today is quite timely; I've long planned to entrust those orphans, your sisters, to you,"

"I will not give up, but I will not let them get hurt either."

Cocolia paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Then, Bronya, can you take good care of them?"

Bronya shook her head firmly and corrected her, "Mom, what will they think of me if you die? No matter what, your kindness will stay in our hearts. Even Seele, who was experimented on, wouldn't want to accept the fact that you are dead!"

"...You've really given me a tough problem."

After a moment of silence, Cocolia said that she was not afraid of death.

She also knew that suicide might be the best way out for what she had done, but it wouldn't be for those stubborn children.

The reality is that Bronya has arrived, and their mother is dead.

"You're right. Bronya, you've really grown up."

Cocolia's gaze was complex, just as complex as her own.

She pushed her daughter into the abyss of experimentation, yet she was willing to walk through that abyss for her daughter's sake.

She slowly threw the gun away, raised her hands, and said, "I leave everything to fate, no matter what."

“Surrendering when there’s no other way out doesn’t count,” Rita whispered.

"However, what you just said does make sense. So, you were pointing the gun at my leg, not my head?"

"Humph!"

Cocolia doesn't offer many explanations when facing enemies.

Then, Rita went up and tied her up, taking into account the 'slander' she had suffered in the game.

Rita murmured to herself, "It's better to be proven true than to be misunderstood. I've never tied anyone up like that before."

"?" Cocolia didn't hear her clearly. "What did you say?"

"Hehe—" Rita's gentle hand slipped through and tied Cocolia's back into a very delicate bow.

The rope moved nimbly in her hands, carefully avoiding the wound on her leg and taking care of Cocolia's feelings so as not to make her feel particularly uncomfortable.

Make the areas that should be prominent even more prominent, and the slight marks from the straps will make them even more alluring.

The final product was like a work of art. Rita stood behind her, nodding slightly, very satisfied with her work.

Bronya's lips twitched. She glanced at Rita and took two steps away from her.

"It shouldn't be too different from the game, right?" Rita thought to herself. "The maid is quite petty!"

He's definitely resentful of the guy who ruined his mission!

"Hey, what else do you want to do?" Cocolia frowned slightly, feeling that she had seen this scene before.

Rita took out a bottle of perfume and lightly sprayed it on herself. A subtle citrus scent spread across the battlefield.

Cocolia's face was full of black lines. She breathed a sigh of relief, not surprised that it was something the maid in front of her had 'done'.

He said succinctly and desperately, "Kill me."

Rita chuckled and did the same to Xing next to her.

Looking at the two 'works of art' in front of her, Rita sighed slightly: "This mission... wasn't completed perfectly again. Wendy made a mistake back then, and now it's happening again."

She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. What's been going on lately?

Was it because watching videos of Lady Durandal and Lady Theresa caused you to slack off in your training? Or was it because you were constantly thinking about Lady Moonlight that you were distracted?

"I've been having a run of bad luck lately," Rita consoled herself.

It's definitely not because I've seen too many pictures of Theresa!

Chapter 42 The Operation Comes to an End

Just then, the chosen ones arrived.

The air outside reeked of gunpowder. The ground was charred black, thick smoke billowed from the ground, the flames of war raged, damaged mechs exposed their internal circuitry, and Valkyries fought in the distance.

The people of destiny have already destroyed this place. Faced with the sudden attack, Anti-Entropy had no time to react.

Moreover, since the supreme leader, Cocolia, has been slow to act here, apart from a few high-ranking officials who have escaped on their own, the radical faction of Anti-Entropy has been captured.

Rita, are you alright?

Durandal, dressed in Valkyrie armor and carrying a knight's lance, opened the door and strode in, asking with concern.

She became worried as soon as Rita informed her.

She hadn't expected Rita's reconnaissance mission to lead her directly to the enemy's headquarters.

Although she had great faith in Rita's abilities, rushing straight here... was still not a good idea!

"I'm fine, Lady Durandal. Where are the others?" Rita looked behind her, puzzled.

Durandal shook her head, carefully examined Rita, and only after finding no injuries did she breathe a sigh of relief and say, "They're behind us, I'll help you first!"

"I will report the details of this mission to the bishop. In any case, the result was a great success, and Cocolia has been captured."

After Rita finished speaking, she turned her head to indicate that there were still traces of the battle on the ground: two male corpses, scratches, and dents from being pressed against the ground.

Apricot and Cocolia, bound together as exquisite gifts, stood out.

Cocolia turned her head away, not wanting to see the maid in front of her anymore. She felt that giving herself to Rita was the biggest mistake she had ever made.

The scent of citrus perfume still lingered in her nostrils; she couldn't even smell the blood emanating from her legs.

She didn't think the wound on her leg was a big deal, but someone could remove the knot on her back!

...

On the way back,

Rita took a moment to report the battle situation to Karen, who was concerned about the matter.

The Mandate of Heaven has achieved a great victory in this operation, and the radical faction of Anti-Entropy will find it difficult to revive.

When reporting the details, Karen noticed Rita's hesitation and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"...Rita?"

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, Rita has let you down." Rita bowed slightly to express her apology.

She gave a detailed account of the battle, including Fu Hua's assistance, without concealing her own defeat.
