Honkai: Oh No, I’ve Become the Herrscher of Corruption?! - Chapter 165

December 7, 2014, St. Freya Academy.

“Today, our class welcomes a new transfer student, Rena. Let’s give her a round of applause.”

As Murata Himeko’s voice faded, Rena stepped onto the podium and shyly bowed to everyone.

“Wow, what a cute girl.”
“How old is she? She looks even younger than Bronya.”

Rena’s gaze remained fixed on Raiden Mei, setting off alarm bells in Kiana’s mind.

Three days ago, when Anti-Entropy invaded St. Freya Academy, Kiana was in the underground base, where Theresa was giving her some special training.

“So, Kiana, how does this new battlesuit feel?”

Theresa stood on the elevated platform controlling various equipment, looking down at Kiana, with a cup of bitter melon juice placed beside her.

“It fits well enough, but… isn’t this just a bodysuit? Will wearing this really make me stronger?”

Theresa placed her hands on her hips, looking quite pleased with herself.

“Hehe, Kiana, you don’t get it, do you? What you’re wearing isn’t just a bodysuit—it’s the latest third-generation Valkyrie battlesuit developed by Schicksal, White Comet.”

“Normally, a trainee like you, who isn’t even a B-rank Valkyrie, would absolutely not be qualified to use it. Even an A-rank Valkyrie would need at least three months to fully master all the capabilities of a third-generation battlesuit.”

Kiana pouted, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

“I told you I want to get stronger quickly, right? Three months at the very least is just too…”

Theresa wagged her finger.

“Don’t rush. It’s precisely to achieve your goal that I brought you to this special training room.”

As she spoke, Theresa took a sip of her bitter melon juice and pressed a red button nearby.

“The equipment in this training room can read your brainwaves, search your memories for formidable enemies, and simulate a battle against that opponent. This way, we can greatly improve combat efficiency.”

[Data reading complete. Generating hostile module.]

“Uh… what you just described sounds like some video game. Will this really work?”

[…90%…100%. Hostile module generation complete.]

Appearing before Kiana was the very same Temple-class Honkai beast that had severely injured her with a single strike in Nagazora City.

“Be careful. Although the simulated enemy’s strength is definitely inferior to the real one, its destructive power is still not to be underestimated. I think there’s nothing better than actual combat for rapid improvement. Go all out. If you get hurt by accident, I’ll take good care of you.”

Watching the Temple-class Honkai beast charge toward her, Kiana wore an expression of utmost confidence.

“Hurt? No way. This lady won’t stumble over the same stone twice.”

While dodging the Temple-class Honkai beast’s attacks, Kiana recalled its information:

“Temple-class Honkai beast, large in size but slow in movement speed… what else was there? Ah, never mind. I’ll just play it by ear.”

Due to the limited space in the training room, it was clearly impossible to simulate a Honkai beast taller than a building. The Temple-class Honkai beast before Kiana was, at most, just over three meters tall.

Compared to a real Temple-class Honkai beast, it was clearly more agile. However, due to its drastically reduced size, the attack radius of each strike was also much smaller. As long as Kiana maintained enough distance, she could completely avoid its attacks.

Without a doubt, it was a born warrior, equipped with a shield on its left arm and a right arm sharper than a spear. Kiana understood that frontal attacks would definitely be blocked by the shield, making a rear assault the obviously better strategy.

So, Kiana stopped near a wall, preparing to wait for the beast to come to her.

Seeing Kiana stop moving, the Temple-class Honkai beast immediately lunged at her. Seizing the moment, Kiana successfully executed a perfect dodge, stepped off the wall, performed a 360-degree turn in mid-air, and landed behind the beast. Simultaneously, a cat’s paw matching White Comet’s color scheme descended from above, tapping it on the head.

Although the passive effect triggered by one perfect dodge didn’t deal much damage to the Temple-class Honkai beast, it noticeably slowed its movements. Seizing this opportunity, Kiana leaped into the air. The original White Comet battlesuit began to change, growing three wing-like structures on each side, and its color shifted as well.

Theresa, who had been leisurely sipping her bitter melon juice, widened her eyes at the sight.

“This is! The third-generation battlesuit, White Knight · Moonlight! The hidden potential of White Comet, and she’s managed to tap into it right away!”

As everyone knows, in Honkai Impact 3rd, White Comet can transcend to Moonlight at SSS-rank, Moonlight can transcend to Starchasm Nyx at SSS-rank, and Starchasm Nyx can transcend to Flamescion at SSS-rank. For now, Kiana has completed the first step. (Wagging tail emoji)

“Light! Wings! Unfold!”

The moment the six luminous wings fully extended, Kiana hovered in the air. She felt as if an endless stream of power was continuously flowing into her body.

Only then did the Temple-class Honkai beast begin to slowly turn its body.

“Now’s the chance!”

Kiana merged her twin pistols into one, forming a gun taller than herself, and aimed it at the target on the ground.

“Gungnir execution!”

A massive burst of energy shot from the barrel, striking its vital spot from the side.

With a tremendous explosion, the Temple-class Honkai beast completely vanished from the training room.
