Honkai Impact 3rd: Catching the Herrscher of Sentience at the Start

"Ah! You scared me again. You guys are just too mean," March 7thth startled by Fu Lin's sudden yell from behind, quickly hid behind Himeko.

Stelle looked at Fu Shi with a face full of admiration, shouting, "Long live Mommy!"

At that moment, an alarm suddenly sounded, pulling everyone's attention back to reality. Himeko and the others quickly gathered around Asta.

Asta, staring solemnly at the image of the Doomsday Beast on the screen, turned to Himeko and said, "Take the Astral Express and leave. I'll stay behind!"

----------------------------

"Why is the alarm going off?" The staff members cautiously gathered around, nervously glancing at their surroundings.

Fu Shi snapped her fingers to draw everyone's attention and then said, "Don't worry, the great Herrscher of Sentience will take care of everything for you."

Rocky said with a serious expression, "We can't trouble you anymore. You let me see Lily one last time. Hurry and leave here with the others on the Express."

The staff members also urged her, "Yes, please leave here quickly."

"Stop! I'll do whatever I want. If I say I'll handle it, then I'll handle it." Fu Shi crossed her arms behind her back and looked at the staff member next to her.

Arlan pointed at the distant figures and reminded her, "But your companions have already left."

"What!" Fu Shi quickly turned her head to look, but there was no trace of Fu Lin and the others.

At this moment, Fu Lin, following behind Himeko, asked with some confusion, "We're just running away like this?"

March 7th said righteously, "Our Express crew members never flee in the face of battle."

Dan Heng interjected, "Do you want to go back? Let me remind you, that's an Doomsday Beast, the Antimatter Legion's anti-planet weapon."

"Anti-planet weapon?" Fu Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with some shock.

Dan Heng nodded. "Yes, a single Doomsday Beast is enough to destroy a slightly less developed planet."

Fu Lin thought for a moment before asking slowly, "Then are we still going to fight it?"

Himeko suddenly spoke, "This is the support compartment where the maintenance staff work, and it leads to the nearest platform."

"Let's go there and meet up with Welt first."

March asked in surprise, "Uncle Welt? Uncle Welt is here too? Wasn't he supposed to stay on the Express?"

"The commotion at the space station is so big; there's no way Mr. Welt wouldn't notice," Dan Heng said, looking at March 7th with a resigned expression as he explained.

Himeko nodded in agreement. "Yes, I can guarantee that your Uncle Welt is on his way here right now."

"...The 'Uncle Welt' you're talking about, is his name Welt Yang?" Fu Lin asked in confusion as he listened to their conversation.

March turned to Fu Lin and asked, "How do you know?"

"I have a friend named Welt Yang too, but the one you're talking about might not be the one I know."

Fu Lin scratched his head, feeling that this world was becoming more and more interesting. First Silver Wolf, then Himeko, and now even Welt had appeared. Would Otto's counterpart show up next?

At this moment, Himeko said worriedly, "Right now, just the Doomsday Beast is manageable, but if an Emanator of 'Destruction' comes as well..."

"Although I don't know what the Emanator of 'Destruction' is, I heard from someone that only one Doomsday Beast came this time, so we should be able to handle it, right?" Fu Lin revealed the information he'd overheard from Kafka and the other person, then looked at Himeko and asked.

"Hmm~ If that's the case, then there shouldn't be a problem. Let's leave here quickly," Himeko thought for a moment before nodding.

...

"Why are there so many monsters along the way? My arm's sore from pulling this bow. Luckily, the platform is just ahead!" March 7th shook her hand in complaint, then excitedly ran toward the platform ahead.

Dan Heng looked at the empty platform and said, "The Express hasn't arrived yet."

"It might be nearby. I have good eyesight; I'll go check it out first." March 7th arrived at the platform, turned to Dan Heng, and stuck out her tongue.

"Be careful, the Doomsday Beast is behind you!" Fu Lin shouted after dealing with a small enemy and looking toward March's back.

"What are you... Oh no!" March 7th, not believing him, turned to look behind her. She froze in place as the massive body of the Doomsday Beast came into view, along with its enormous hand reaching to strike her.

Suddenly, Fu Shi appeared in front of March 7th, holding her spear upright to block the attack. After deflecting the massive hand with all her might, she pulled March 7th to the side and threw her to safety, only to be struck by the giant hand herself and disappear from sight.

At this moment, Dan Heng also reached the platform, helped the fallen March 7th up, and stared gravely at the Doomsday Beast, now just a short distance away. "Why is the Doomsday Beast here?"

Himeko and Fu Lin both looked toward Stelle, and Himeko slowly said, "It was attracted here. Let's figure out how to survive this crisis first."

"Forget about the Doomsday Beast for now. Fu Shi is still out there! She saved me just now!" March 7th recalled the scene earlier, gripped her bow tightly, and shouted with worry.
