Honkai Impact 3rd, what should an ordinary player do at the start?

Page 128

Yae Sakura, the former shrine maiden, who was also theoretically involved in complicated rituals, was now overwhelmed by the documents of the bishop's registration ceremony. Even Rin was included. She took on the form of a pink-haired girl. As a key of the gods, she was also exploited for her labor and subjected to mental analysis using her corrupting authority.

Why can't these tasks be delegated to others?

Her slender fingertips gently stroked the boy's forehead.

He gently leaned the back of his head back, inching closer to that softness that seemed to swallow half his head. The subtle touch even made Jiang Cheng's body unconsciously relax further, as if enveloped in fresh, rich, freshly squeezed milk. The smooth, soft touch, incomparable even to the finest silk, flowed through him, and he listened to the advice whispered in his ear with utter relaxation.

"It is said that this matter is for the new bishop to prepare his own team. After all, it is not possible for everyone to use the same ruling framework. Although the World Serpent has theoretically taken over the Mandate of Heaven, the Gray Serpent has stated that it will not interfere with your rule. It will give you enough time until the Lord descends to use everything you foresee to cross the Honkai with your own plan. Therefore, you will also be responsible for handling these tasks."

"These tasks also fall under the purview of the bishops. The majority of the work is done by the high-ranking officials who have been interfered with by Jizo Mitama. It is said that in order to find the most appropriate ritual, they searched through all the medieval ancient books they could find, and finally came up with this coronation ritual that combines modern and classical elements."

“But this kind of thing doesn’t really matter.” He sighed heavily. “Those ordinary civilians have no weight, and most of the Valkyries are useless. Even if I wanted to make a plan, I would only need to make minor adjustments… It seems they still have expectations for the ability to predict the future.”

Completely let go and do it yourself.

Give them absolute freedom and absolute trust.

The principle of non-interference and non-interference is essentially meant to demonstrate that the World Serpent will not hinder it in any way.

While this is to be expected, a single Stigmata holder is enough to become a cadre, and with the addition of the Divine Key, he is enough to become a cadre that Grey Serpent needs to take seriously. With the addition of a Herrscher with humanity, he can almost be considered Grey Serpent's father, and his value to Grey Serpent is second only to his mother, Mebius.

Currently, he still possesses sufficiently reliable prophetic abilities... Therefore, in order to perfectly utilize the team around him and his own abilities, the best approach is to allow himself to freely and arbitrarily orchestrate the world's events, since he can't possibly do any worse than Otto.

Moreover, although it is said that they will not interfere with destiny, this is essentially to make me trust them. If I need anything, I can still ask the World Serpent for help before Kevin comes out. Anything other than Paradise is allowed.

The decision regarding Paradise should be made by Kevin, especially now.

The implications of this are too significant.

The situation was so heavy that even the gray snake was not qualified to make a decision.

Even though Grey Serpent knew that the most important people were waiting for the Herrscher with humanity, waiting for their own kind, they could not disregard anyone's orders and make the decision to let them enter Paradise on their own.

Although in theory any talented cadre could participate, Mei and the others were too talented and carried too much weight, so they dared not make a decision on their own.

Awakened by the Stigmata, holder of the Divine Key, prophet, the new Archbishop of Schicksal...

Herrscher of Thunder, Key of Corruption, Yae Sakura...

None of them are light.

Any problem, no matter how small, in any link could trigger a disaster that could completely destabilize the world.

Jiang Cheng knew a way to ensure his entry: he could use his so-called prophetic abilities to make another announcement.

Even if this prophecy was essentially something that readers once knew, and even if the current plot has been disrupted, it is still enough to be called a prophecy.

Not to mention that the world's general understanding of prophetic abilities is that they are like those of charlatans who occasionally see a few fragments, even the prophetic abilities of the Commandments who actually existed were extremely flawed. However, even if the plot of his foresight is broken, he can at least exert a more useful ability than all other prophets on Earth, which is equivalent to, or even surpasses, prophecy.

However, it is completely unnecessary. Mei may not yet have the ability to bear the Origin, and there is no point in touching the Paradise of the Past too early.

As for the bell/erosion I once promised...

"--I trust you."

That's what she said then, and that's what she says now.

The moment Rin noticed the boy's gaze, she already knew what he wanted to say—her work was temporarily put down, the paper documents and information floating in the air were temporarily suspended, and the girl with three fox tails stood with her hands on her hips.

"Anyway, you won't break the agreement, especially since it was an agreement you made yourself, right?"

"Anyway, I don't have your perspective and can't see everything you see, so you can choose the time."

……

……

……

When exactly did I begin to trust Jiang Cheng so much?

It's impossible to tell exactly what happened.

It probably started from the day he realized the difference between him and Aponia.

Aponia, who only thinks about wanting a good ending to destroy her destiny, doesn't care about anything she does now. Even if she gets a good result that she can never achieve in her entire life and sees the most perfect possibility, she can still break it because of the changes in the people who are actually alive now, and actively deny the good ending that is good for everyone.

In fact, once this was realized, Jiangcheng became something that required no hesitation.

Everything in the cherry blossom cycle... the initial changes were essentially due to his power.

Sakura wasn't the only one who wanted the answer.

It wasn't just Sakura who wanted an answer.

From her seemingly detached vantage point, she clearly observed all of Jiang Cheng's choices and all his seemingly foolish efforts.

for.

save.

Someone with the same vision as Aponia, which is probably why she didn't choose to kill Jiang Cheng at the beginning.

The reason for not hating everything about the house is that I want to see more possibilities. Otherwise, the stigma stitched together by B貳衤三linTg斯七陕逝 alone would not be able to resist the power of erosion. She could have eroded Jiang Cheng the moment he picked up the Jizo Soul, replaced him, and taken over his body. As for the Herrscher of Thunder, although she is troublesome, she is not insurmountable. At worst, she can run away.

As it turned out, her choice at that time was correct.

This is someone different from Aponia.

Perhaps it was for this reason that, over the course of these few days, even the original layer of cold indifference and the act of pretending to be a bad person were gradually stripped away.

Anyway, Jiang Cheng knows my true nature—that's probably what I think, so the girl just gave up.

With a touch of arrogance and a hint of naivety, Rin crossed her arms again, saying, "I don't ask for much, just the same attitude as Sakura Rinne."

"of course."

Jiangcheng never breaks his promises.

Especially agreements made proactively.

“You are still an important friend of mine. Even if it's just to help a friend get revenge, I will do my best to resolve all your grievances in the most reasonable and justifiable way... Even after your grievances are resolved, I will not stop until everything I saw that caused me grievances is resolved.”

"About your story... Your sister from the previous civilization, who said she would protect her sister's pride, didn't even get to see the cherry blossoms in her last moments. That really made me furious."

"I understand..."

There was only one thing Ling believed with absolute certainty—the resentment from that day still lingered in her ears.

“You really gave me a thorough dressing down back then. When you saw that prophecy… you must have truly felt the anger and resentment.”

“Yes…” Sakura raised her head, “Your actions back then really scared me. I immediately drew my sword without delaying for even a second.”

Jiang Cheng slapped the document in his hand onto his forehead. "After all, I can't lie to the corrupted Herrscher, can I?"

The next moment, the force gripping my shoulder seemed to increase.

A soft breath brushed against my ear—

"Even in front of the Herrscher of Lightning, it won't work."

"affim!"

For a top-tier phantom god like Mei, my little tricks could be seen through at a glance. I probably don't even need to carefully observe the changes in her expression; she could tell whether what I say next is true or false just by the changes in her body's magnetic field.

"In that case, may I ask you?" Raiden Mei's gentle voice seemed to be massaging a head through the eardrum—

"There isn't a third person besides Sakura, is there?"

"no!"

Jiang Cheng did not hesitate.

"So what's going on with Bronya?"

Forced to accept Yae Sakura's existence, the girl, who is now more wary of this matter—the issue of infidelity—has begun to bring up past events.

This includes several instances where I vaguely heard what sounded like Bronya calling Jiangcheng "Master."

Jiang Cheng considered himself to be quite virtuous in matters other than Yae Sakura.

But the only thing that can't be well explained is Bronya—there's definitely no deep relationship between them, she's completely innocent in that respect, yet she calls him "master," there were several instances of her kneeling in reverence, she actively asked him to punish her, and the fact that he often spends time with her is indeed...

(8) (3) Lingjiu Lengni (9) Wuba Cun could only choose to confess truthfully.

He went straight to the point and explained in detail.

Whether it was the threats before, the enticements afterward, including preparing to make Bronya a nail he planted in the main characters, constantly calibrating the plot to prevent any deviations, or the things Bronya couldn't understand in the middle, such as Shigeza and excessively humble calling her "master," there were actually some things that even he found difficult to understand.

“So…” Raiden Mei analyzed, gently touching her chin with her finger like a detective in a novel, “Is it because Bronya feels guilty and because of her sister that she’s intentionally trying to please you? Hmm… we can’t ignore the fact that she’s really treating you as a friend lately, so she’s apologizing for the hurt she caused you in the past. ‘Master’ is probably the most suitable title she thinks is for you as a mercenary.”

"Didn't you say before that Bronya's past was very tragic? She lost her parents at birth, was captured to be a mercenary, and worked as a child scout. Later, she finally went to an orphanage, but then her sister was gone, and she was used as a tool by the orphanage director, the one who called her 'Mom'."

"Although it was obviously meant to make me pity her, it really happened. It's normal for things not to follow normal logic."

The girl still vividly remembered this incident. Jiang Cheng, who had just woken up, did something very ruthless before: protect Bronya...

It even made me jealous for the first time – Bronya deliberately put on a seductive pose, although now it seems very likely that the mercenary lacked common sense.

Although these are not the most important issues.

the most important is--

"Don't you trust me at all?"

The girl pouted and lay on Jiang Cheng's back, her hands crossed over her waist in front of her, causing large patches of snow-white, warm flesh to almost spill out from the edges, with the outlines of her breasts and armpits barely visible—the round, full, and fragrant coconut flesh pressed to the extreme felt as if it were massaging her back.

He pressed himself against the soft, warm, and beautiful body of the girl behind him, and with each gentle breath, his nostrils were filled with a refreshing and sweet fragrance. All of this constituted the ultimate torment for the man.

"Well……"

Jiang Cheng sat up straight instantly.

Her back, still limp from being squeezed, was precisely pressed against by the girl's full, perky breasts.

If it weren't for the pressure of dual physics, I probably would have turned around and hugged my lover for another round right now.

At this moment, Yae Sakura flipped through the book faster, trying to temporarily distract him from looking up and continuing to read. In a sense, this could also be considered a source of pleasure for her lover and his wife—even though all of this would be shattered without hesitation the next moment.

As the erosion entity, Ling swayed its three tails and floated behind the girl without hesitation. With a forceful push from both hands, it caused the girl, who was engrossed in looking at the documents, to fall forward.

"Jiangcheng, look over here!" Ling shouted with a smile.

When Jiangcheng finally turned around and looked over.

Reflected in Na Ying's pupils was a girl clutching documents, looking up in a panic, her eyes blank and still, her bangs disheveled by the wind.

His first instinct was to open his arms and catch the girl who was about to fall. However, just as he pulled Yae Sakura's head away from hitting the bed, he saw Ling appear behind him again. With an air of wanting to completely merge this pure and innocent yet voluptuous and charming body into his arms, he pushed her once more, pulling the girl completely into his embrace.

Speaking of...

Is Yae Sakura really that slow to realize things?

It doesn’t matter anymore.

Seeing the girl's shy expression, even her long, slender, snow-white neck was covered with a layer of tender pink like early cherry blossoms—Jiang Cheng simply didn't care about these things.

At this moment, Raiden Mei was hugging him from behind, and Yae Sakura was hugging him from the front. Both his front and back were covered by her incredibly soft, white, and smooth skin, as if she wanted to melt his body into her.

No matter how upright and virtuous a person is, they would never utter a single word.

Besides, he's not a decent person at all.

"Jiangcheng!"

The girl in his arms softly called his name.

Jiang Cheng subconsciously lowered his head and what he saw were those watery eyes, rippling with what seemed to be a heart hidden in the blue waves.

Without leaving any room for others to think, in the instant their eyes met, Yae Sakura, her full, voluptuous, and perfectly curvaceous body swaying, stepped lightly onto the white porcelain floor, her delicate feet encased in white stockings rising gently. Her beautiful face flushed crimson, she offered a sweet kiss to the harem of men embracing her from all sides.

"Goo-woo... Jiang Cheng, God!! Snore... Goo-choo-choo..."

They kissed each other very earnestly...

So, so this is what kissing is like...?

Lovers really do need to kiss!

The naive young girl finally understood why all books describe kissing between lovers in such detail—because when lips embrace and tongues touch, eyes meet in the most perfect state, allowing them to gaze into each other's eyes without reservation, and to clearly recognize themselves enjoying the kiss in those cherry-colored eyes.

Even the corners of her eyes are curved!

Me.

The stunningly beautiful girl, unaware of the specific method of release, lightly pecked Jiang Cheng's lips as if skimming the water, but was immediately grabbed by the boy's strong arms and his slender waist. He embraced her perfect body in a more intense and passionate manner than before, and lowered his head sharply.

Even if you don't dislike being forcibly kissed, a proper kiss is just too inappropriate if it's just a fleeting peck.
