Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

"Remember to let me know when you encounter Cocolia. Although Cocolia here is a beast, her identity as an anti-entropy executor is still somewhat useful. I will arrange for someone else to fill her vacancy later."

"Besides that, help me collect the relics of all the S-class Valkyries from the Destiny Group throughout history. Just collect as many as you can; there's no need to be too demanding."

The Destiny has existed for thousands of years. Although the rating standards for S-class Valkyries have been changing, S-class Valkyries in any era are formidable forces. If one could obtain Kallen's belongings and gain access to the saintess's faint spiritual essence, it would be a decisive blow. Unfortunately... anything related to Kallen is probably kept under tight guard by that man.

Emiya didn't think a sycophant who could memorize the coordinates of a dead woman's death location for hundreds of years would carelessly leave that saint's belongings out in the open.

"I still need to find a time to get my hands on the 'Plow.' With that thing, I can go back in time, capture Kallen's soul, and then that bastard Otto will definitely... no, this actually makes things easier for him? It's best not to let him be completely certain about Kallen's resurrection... that feeling of wanting that person to appear before your eyes, but only ever being able to touch the edges forever..."

Otto is indeed a pure-love god of war.

But he was also a complete villain.

Countless times from the other side of the screen, I wished I could grind him to dust.

now,

Given the opportunity, why not seize it?

Let him die with regrets, let him see hope, and then... plunge him into even deeper despair.

If you're really that wicked, reenact the scene of Kallen being pierced through the heart in front of him, and ideally Kallen would even cooperate by shouting "Sakura"...

That would be the decisive blow.

A game-winning shot.

The scientists at Anti-Entropy were about to decipher the Moon Throne, which was actually the ultimate weapon of that pre-civilization. With the existence of the Herrscher of Reason in the present civilization, Honkai energy had the potential to become a clean energy source back then.

but,

A man wearing a clown mask destroyed the original data and then launched a Honkai Fission Bomb, destroying the possibility.

Also on the battlefield of the Second Collapse,

The clown, wary of the power of the Heavenly Fire Annihilation, launched a second Honkai Fission Bomb without hesitation after Siegfried and Cecilia defeated Sirin.

All I can say is that Otto is a character who perfectly embodies the word "beast."

Akaporioli's words were indeed brilliant.

He also left as a villain.

But this is by no means a reason to forgive what he did.

Perhaps you could offer a flower at his grave.

But if he really does come back from the dead, most Honkai Impact 3rd players will probably kill off his chance to revive overnight.

"The current starter Pokémon do not have the ability to change the story."

"But I have..."

"And coincidentally, I am someone who wants to change the ending of this story."

"So, Otto... wash your neck and wait on your throne."

"Your time to leave is about to begin."

[P.S.: I've forgotten quite a few details about the Honkai Impact 3rd storyline, I'm catching up now, so I owe one update today, I'll make it up tomorrow.]

Chapter 185: Fu Taibu has the ability to be capable, the height to be tall, and the physical development to be good.

"Sky City, this place also existed in the pre-civilization era."

Looking down at this now unfamiliar city from the plane, Alicia couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

"I've been here before, but it was supposedly destroyed by a Honkai event."

"What a pity, that was clearly a very beautiful city."

"But at least, this city of modern civilization still exists today."

Himiko gazed at Sky City and murmured softly,

"I have been here before, and there are oceans and skies... But the collapse destroyed everything, and now I stand here again."

"Don't worry, Himiko, this time, we will protect it."

Alicia spoke softly, unusually not as rambling as usual, she murmured.

"Because we've already lost it once."

Therefore,

We must not fail again.

……

"Four months ago, a world-class massive collapse occurred in the world."

"Due to the widespread impact of Honkai energy, people have had to abandon small towns with relatively weak defenses and concentrate a large number of people and resources in metropolitan areas. This is the current situation in Sky City."

"In just three months, the influx of people has exceeded 200 million, and this number continues to increase."

Sky City is one of the territories that Gray Serpent has a relatively high degree of control over. After Emiya and the others landed at the airport, Gray Serpent sent out one of its clones to accompany them and give them an overview of the current situation in Sky City.

“Housing… no, the word ‘housing’ is no longer appropriate. Temporary safe houses are everywhere in the streets and alleys, the worst of which may just be cardboard boxes. The food crisis and the pressure on public security are both pushing this metropolis to the brink of destruction.”

"The upper management is still dividing into factions, vying for ownership of this place. Capitalists, politicians... everyone wants a piece of the pie from this huge population of hundreds of millions."

“Now, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of people competing for any manual labor job that takes more than 15 hours, and the only reward is two compressed biscuits. If some people are ruthless, they can even exchange one compressed biscuit for 20 hours of manual labor.”

"More importantly, the forces resisting the collapse are concentrated in the city center, while the most densely populated areas are on the outskirts."

"A single Honkai Beast appearing on the outskirts of this city can cause hundreds or even thousands of casualties."

"In addition to that, there's the issue of Honkai Impact being designated as an infectious disease..."

Infectious diseases,

Food crisis

Population pressure.

These words, taken together, were enough for Emiya to clearly understand that this city was now a bomb waiting to be detonated.

but,

It doesn't matter.

These are the kinds of problems that Mr. Emiya is best at solving...

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke to the gray snake.

"Would you, the world serpents, be willing to step forward? Gray Serpent."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"I can solve the food crisis, but can you solve the population management problem?"

"Do you want to devour two or three hundred million people? Forgive me for speaking frankly, but that is not wise. Areas with large populations are more likely to trigger a collapse event."

His gaze was fixed on the distance, his far-seeing eyes allowing him to clearly capture the residents huddled in the corners of the city on the streets several kilometers away.

It's fine if it's called an outburst of kindness.

but,

Those people spoke a language he once knew very well. Perhaps this was not his homeland, but the derivative image from the same civilization made it impossible for him to turn a blind eye to those who were suffering.

"Although it's unwise, if I don't take action, I'll probably never forget it for the rest of my life."

"Someone once told me that when I have the ability to make choices, I should never let myself regret them."

"So even if you don't want the World Serpent to come out into the open, I will do it myself."

If we don't do it,

I guess I'll even start to look down on myself.

“A majestic being once looked down upon me, acknowledging my worth and setting me on my first path of destiny, a path called ‘Preservation.’”

"A stubborn hero once gave me everything, asking for nothing in return, solely to grant me the power to 'protect' others."

Emiya suddenly laughed. Before arriving in Sky City, his mind was full of calculations, but after arriving here, he knew that all his previous plans would probably have to be overturned.

·· ·····Requesting 0 flowers ········

The plan to roam the world will probably have to be put on hold for now.

"Alicia, we're about to have a very special date."

"Really? Hearing you say that makes me even more eager to go."

Alicia understood what Emiya meant, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face. Then she spoke again.

"Saving a city with over 200 million people is no easy task. It's far from enough for just a few of us and Gray Serpent, Shirou."

“I know… so this time, I’m going to start calling in more people.”

Governing a population of hundreds of millions, creating jobs, and addressing issues such as food distribution all require a large management team.

Gray snakes can replace lower-level management positions.

0...0

But if he were a ruler, the situation probably wouldn't be much better than it is now.

"We need an efficient, honest manager who is not power-hungry here."

Mr. Emiya stroked his chin, and the image of someone on the Luofu Immortal Ship instantly popped into his mind. However, he was still overseeing the finishing touches on the Luofu Immortal Ship, while another candidate was more suitable to be brought in to do the hard work... in a management position.

"To prepare such a suitable position specifically for my sworn brother's successor, I, Emiya, am indeed too ruthless."

Although the certain diviner was also one of the managers of the Six Departments, she probably had no experience in managing matters concerning the livelihood of the entire population. Now, giving her a real opportunity to govern a region and to implement her own management ideas can be considered an internship opportunity.

Not everyone has the opportunity to manage two or three hundred million people during an internship.

"Although Fu Taibu is not tall, his abilities are top-notch. He is not like Theresa, that naturally evil brat who likes to embezzle funds to buy merchandise for himself."

"Furthermore, the Immortal Ship and the Divine Land share the same cultural roots. I suppose Master Fu wouldn't mind coming here to serve as 'General Fu' for a while."

"Fu Xuan can be the administrator, and Eden can be invited to hold a concert to appease people. Aponia can be invited to open an orphanage to take in children who have lost their parents. We can even ask Jing Yuanyuan to bring a group of new Cloud Cavalry soldiers over for training. But before that, we still need to find the medicine to treat Honkai disease."

"Perhaps we should call Mebius and Sue over as well? Or, why not just rebuild a Moth of Fire here?"

Chapter 186: Qing Taibu, the burden of 250 million people in the sky rests on your shoulders.

"I am busy with countless affairs of state, how could I have the time to help you become some kind of Heavenly General?"

"Fu Taibu, you are destined to be a general in the future. Now you have the opportunity to personally govern a region. Aren't you tempted?"

"If I had such intentions, I would have already applied to the general. In my position, I should fulfill my duties, take responsibility, and do my best. Since I am in the position of Grand Diviner, my duty is to divine the heavens, record the hexagrams, and provide early warnings of external enemies and internal threats for Luofu."

"Although you have done a favor for Luofu, I should not refuse your request. However, the Luofu Martial Arts Ceremony is about to begin, and many important matters have just been concluded. Although it is not a case of everything needing to be rebuilt, there are indeed many things to do. If you really want to find someone to manage things, I can recommend a good person for you."

"Who?"

……

"Me, a '090' general? No way! I'm just the lowest-ranking diviner in the Taibu Si. You're giving me far too much credit."

"...Are there potential players for Imperial Jade everywhere? But Imperial Jade only requires four people. Even if there are hundreds of thousands or millions of people playing at the same time, what does it have to do with me?"

"Impossible? Brother Emiya, what are you saying? Managing hundreds of millions of people, if it really fell on the shoulders of a mere diviner like me, if something really happened, tens of thousands of people might suffer to varying degrees... In my opinion, you would be more suitable to go to the Grand Diviner."

"The Grand Diviner has already refused? That's normal. Although the Grand Diviner is not tall, his professional ethics are top-notch... However, why don't you just ask the General for a transfer order? There are only some miscellaneous tasks left on Luofu now. Although the workload is not small, others can actually complete it. It is not necessary for the Grand Diviner to be stationed in the Grand Divination Office."

"Moreover, the title of General of the Sky is quite fitting for the Grand Diviner who oversees the celestial array."

……

In Sky City,

The pink-haired girl, having shed her pink palace dress and donned a very delicate and adorable dress, glared displeased at the traitor who had appeared in her family's tarot squad.

"You scoundrel Qingque! I strongly recommended you to come here for further studies, and you actually turned around and tried to harm me?"

"What makes you say that, Your Excellency? My respect and love for you are absolutely sincere."
