Collapse, survive

In her eyes, Fang Jie's personality was very childish.

"No!"

The speaker wasn't Fang Jie, but Kiana, who was also collecting seashells; she couldn't bear to hear this.

"Tsk, weakling."

Fang Jie cast a disdainful glance at Kiana, saying, "You're so weak, Kiana." If it were him—

"Come on, I'll make sure you can't sleep."

Himeko felt that Fang Jie's personality wasn't so childish after all; she was quite mature, and she gradually became adept at instilling childishness in her.

It's quite tough.

Himeko immediately surrendered: "I admit defeat."

Her inability to defeat Fang Jie is a permanent sore point, forcing her to admit defeat.

With a glance that seemed to hold a hint of sarcasm, Kiana, who was playing in her swimsuit, said meaningfully, "This child has been secretly watching this place."

"But I just looked, I didn't have the courage to come closer."

Fang Jie curled his lip, "Weakling."

Kiana knows all too well how terrible it would be to fall into the arms of Fang Jie and Himeko, especially since she seems to enjoy it... This is not right, this is very wrong.

But something's not right; this is the Far East.

"Fang Jie, look! An octopus!"

Xing didn't care about anything else; she had found something good and excitedly brought it back to show off.

The scene of her suppressing the tentacle monster with one hand is practically magical girl material.

Himeko thought she was also a very strange alien.

Fang Jie still doesn't dare to bring Xing to places with trash cans.

After showing off for a while, Xing ran off to continue beachcombing, but as Cabbage said, she was tired after a busy day.

Before long, Raiden Mei, dressed in a skirt swimsuit, sat down to rest by the campfire.

She's not the type to save the world, but now she has nowhere to go, so she's become a Valkyrie. It's not that she's working very hard, but her mentality is seriously problematic.

Thankfully, there is a solution!

"Mei, why are you sitting so far away?"

With its five fingers opening and closing, it was almost more agile than the octopus that had previously entangled the star. Just looking at it made Himeko chuckle. Raiden Mei, at a loss, silently sat even further away.

Then she came closer: "Fang Jie, Teacher Ji Zi."

Himeko didn't hold back at all and took the initiative to put her arm around her student, preventing him from getting too close: "Mei, a girl's youth is very precious, especially for a Valkyrie."

So be decisive and efficient; being hesitant and following the crowd is more likely to lead to regret.

Of course, the girl's shyness had its own charm, which made Himeko chuckle strangely.

"Yeah, like this time when we go to the Nine Netherworld, I'm not afraid of anyone else, but Himeko will probably be possessed by a ghost and then beat you all up."

Fang Jie also agreed with Ji Zi's point of view, and gave a slight hint about the question in a low voice.

"what?"

Himeko shuddered.

Is this still Honkai Impact? How come I'm being possessed by a demon... like Theresa being possessed by Yae Sakura?

P.S.: Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening everyone! I'm about to start updating like crazy! (?o?o) ??

Chapter 165 Beneath the Nine Netherworlds, Vajra Comes to Fight!

The world is full of unsolved mysteries.

The nighttime conversation continued, and the number of participants increased.

even.

Fu Hua was the only one who came to the skies above the island and refused to change into her swimsuit; in fact, she didn't really want to come to the island and preferred to stay on Hyperion.

Fu Hua wouldn't tell Xing some of the cruel things, but Himeko would tell them by the campfire as if it were a bedtime story.

Her expression wasn't particularly somber, but as someone who had been through it all, she recounted many official records from Schicksal, noting that the average age of top-tier Valkyries was only in their early twenties.

This figure still includes those who successfully retired.

Among those sacrifices, the majority died from Honkai Beasts, while a smaller portion died from Honkai erosion caused by the Stigmata Surgery, turning them into undead.

It doesn't erode at the end of life, but accompanies us until death.

"Originally, I probably didn't have much time left."

Himeko spoke of these things quite frankly, looking at the three starter families and the two aliens.

The red-haired Valkyrie smiled brightly: "Of course, it's not long now, but it'll still be a few years, enough to last until you graduate. If we can get some of the latest technology to save it, it might last even longer."

But clearly, that kind of technology is not available to Himeko.

For no particular reason, her sacrifice was inevitable.

"But that's all in the past. Now, you've promised me youth and beauty."

Himeko grinned and winked at Fang Jie.

Fang Jie readily accepted the flirtatious glance: "It's not just you."

He dedicated himself to repairing the aftereffects of the Stigmata surgery, even curing Honkai disease, and gaining youthful beauty and longevity as a byproduct...

This is also why Theresa is becoming more and more focused on cultivating immortality.

The social changes are so drastic that just going to that place could double the average lifespan. If the Holy Mark genes were further improved, even without the long lifespan of a Fusion Warrior, one would still be considered a long-lived species in the galaxy, much stronger than the Fox People.

Such a change...

Every time Theresa saw Fang Jie, she felt somewhat apprehensive.

In other words, Himeko's carefree attitude allowed her to maintain a calm demeanor while interacting with him, and she also found it difficult to suppress her inner feelings...

"Is there such a thing?"

Kiana was shocked.

"So, in other words, I can also be young and beautiful! Wow, Fang Jie, are you some kind of Tang Monk's flesh? Let me take a bite—"

"Stupid paramecium."

The overly mature Spanish man felt helpless that she had only just realized this.

Fang Jie really likes this one.

"You don't need my help."

Fang Jie glanced at Kiana and said, "Go to sleep. You'll be busy in the Nine Netherworlds later. If you don't want to sleep, have you learned your Taixu Sword Qi yet?"

"what the hell."

Kiana's excitement was abruptly interrupted. Why are you suddenly targeting me?

Nonsense, you're the one who took Xing to catch the Blue Ringed Octopus!

Fang Jie is sometimes truly helpless. Kiana's round-the-world trip and nomadic life may not necessarily be due to her outstanding abilities, but rather to her thick skin and toughness.

Ignoring her pouting, he continued listening to Himeko tell her story.

The night is long, and for the next while, everyone will have time to listen to Himeko tell stories.

……

……

On the other hand, ever since receiving news that there were ancient civilization ruins in the Nine Netherworlds and that Chi You, a Honkai Beast of extraordinary Judgment level, was sealed there, Theresa has been working overtime again.

It's not just her.

A group of researchers in white coats huddled together, painstakingly deciphering information about the Nine Netherworlds from the things Fu Hua had painstakingly retrieved from his memories.

It was a crimson jade bead the size of a pigeon's egg, a relic of a pre-civilization that Destiny had long ago unearthed, now delivered to St. Freya Academy, bearing the obvious Otto handiwork of Theresa.

It refers to secretly sealing away things related to the Red Iris Immortal.

That's enough.

He deserved to be punched to death by Fu Hua.

"Gentlemen, have you made any discoveries?"

Theresa impatiently urged them to hurry up.

"Lady Theresa, this is undoubtedly a product of Soul Steel. Our research will take some time, so we can only give you a preliminary conclusion."

Even if ordinary researchers were given wings, they would still need time to translate their abilities into practical applications.

The completion of the Sacred Mark gene actually added to the advanced technology projects of the previous civilization, while Soul Steel, at least for the Schicksal researchers present, remained a technological black box.

Hard, resistant to breakage, has high breakage energy conductivity, and is not easily oxidized...

In short, in terms of materials, Soul Steel is something that every researcher in modern civilization dreams of.

The researchers' initial conclusion regarding this crimson jade bead is as follows:

"This is a device that stores and records the names of 'Red Iris,' 'Danzhu,' 'Cangxuan,' and 'Jilin'... Ah!"

It glowed.

It's like digging into a pyramid and finding three stone statues, after which a monster appears.

The jade bead glowed and rose into the air, facing the group of onlookers. The Vajra waved his hand, and the jade bead disappeared.

"?"

Theresa was also shocked, watching them destroy the item through the screen. Even without digging out what was inside, it was still Soul Steel.

Fortunately, not long after, Yae Sakura... the Yae Sakura that Theresa didn't know how to face, sent a message revealing that the item had been taken away by Rin.

They naturally couldn't possibly infiltrate St. Freya Academy as students.

I don't even understand, Fu Hua, you...

But since Fu Hua did this, she must have her reasons. So, Ling, who was also uneasy, decided to visit other old friends, as Fang Jie thought she needed to calm down before going to the Land of Bliss.

The part about the Nine Netherworlds is naturally a key point, so here it is.

……

……

A week later, the Hyperion sailed to the airspace above the eastern sea south of China.

Here, Fang Jie, who went his own way and didn't attend classes with Hoshino and Kiana, but instead learned how to be a captain from Himeko, was kicked out of the team.

"what……!!"

Under the vast sky, he leaped down, letting out a long cry.

"Get lost."

Kiana retracted one leg, just as Fang Jie had told her on the first night.

This lady has not been at a disadvantage either!

"Alright, all irrelevant personnel have been cleared out. Now, let's hold a combat meeting."

Kiana was thrilled and turned to greet her friends, especially Xing.

Her expression showed regret, but she also wanted to have some fun.

But who told you to lose at rock-paper-scissors?

Kiana's overwhelming luck overwhelmed Xing, which is quite normal.

In the war room, Theresa participated in the meeting remotely. Her gaze swept over the seated people, and her expression was solemn: "Gentlemen, the detailed battle plan has been sent to your terminals. I'm sure you have all seen it."
