Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 166 Sorrow Flows Like a River (referring to the author)

Faced with Qiong's blow, the hooded man did not choose to take the hit head-on but instead took a few steps back to leave the attack range. The baseball bat smashed against the door frame, shattering it.

"Oh? You've been seen through?"

"Nonsense, do you think I've forgotten your voice so quickly?"

"Now that I've been found out, I'm not going to continue this charade!"

Vayte casually threw off his coat, covered his eyes with his right hand under the moonlight, held the fake Star of Eden in his left hand, and wore a contemptuous smile on his face.

"Who are you? How did you get in? Why are you impersonating the headmaster's secretary?"

Qiong blocked the door, and Mei behind her could only ask who the other person was.

Trusting Sora, Bronya set up the Heavy Bunny, and Mei casually picked up the Dragon's Roar from the Box.

"Who am I? Since you have asked so sincerely, I will mercifully answer..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Qiong struck him again with her stick.

"It's you again, brat... Don't interrupt me!"

Vayte raised his hand to form a shield, and an ordinary blow struck the shield formed by the Star of Eden in front of Vayte, only causing a ripple.

Mei and Bronya realized that the other party was probably up to no good after the blow.

Bronya!

Fire!

Bronya, who had summoned the Heavy Bunny, fired her cannon the moment Sora called her name. The cannonball exploded at close range, creating a cloud of smoke.

When the smoke cleared, Vayte was still standing there outside the door, seemingly unharmed.

"Is that all you've got? Don't waste my time!"

"Alliance Leader? You're the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance!"

"He isn't!"

Qiong picked up her baseball bat and stood guard at the door of Himeko's house, determined not to let Wait step into Himeko's house.

"I am the leader of the alliance!"

Somewhat annoyed, Vayte waved his hand, and a beam of black light swept towards Qiong and the others.

Qiong instinctively switched her bat to a flamethrower, attempting to use her defensive power to resist the impact. But the flamethrower had already lost its flame…

It wasn't until the black light reached her eyes that Qiong remembered she didn't have fire and panicked.

"Oops!"

Qiong closed her eyes, guessing that this was going to hurt a lot...

"Hmm, is everything alright?"

Qiong slowly opened his eyes, but the expected knockback did not happen; the Flame Spear still blocked Vayte's attack.

There's fire?

Seeing that Qiong was unharmed, Vayte was slightly surprised.

"Not bad, not bad."

But immediately, he started clapping.

"I didn't expect that you could not only shake the power of this alliance leader, but also block my attack... You deserve praise! But that's enough."

Wait beckoned to Mei behind Sora with his finger.

"Raiden Mei, come with me, or you're all doomed!"

"No way—huh?"

Qiong waved to the person behind Vayte.

"You'll regret this."

Vayte struck what he thought was a very cool and imposing pose, and even used his power to make the stone beneath his feet fly.

"Dude, stop posing, look behind you!"

But Vayte remained unmoved.

"Foolish? You think this trick that fools three-year-olds can fool the great Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader? Listen up! I have the ability to control gravity, anything within my field of vision—in other words, with a flick of my finger, even air... Who are you?"

Suddenly, someone patted Vayte on the shoulder.

Who could possibly get behind the great First Herrscher without alerting him? Startled, Vayte quickly turned around.

Oh, he's just a bespectacled schoolteacher.

"Uncle Yang!"

He's just a teacher surnamed Yang, not worth mentioning. He really got too cocky; he didn't even notice someone was coming from behind him…

Thinking back to that moment of panic, Vayte felt a deep sense of shame.

"Tch, I thought you were someone important, but you're just a teacher! Get lost, or I'll take care of you too!"

Qiong stood at the door, watching Walter's reaction with great interest: hands in her pockets, pushing up her glasses, her eyes calm yet imposing.

“My friend, such arrogance is not good.”

Vayte snorted dismissively.

"Mind your own business and get lost, or I'll make you..."

As he spoke, Vayte once again used his power, and the surrounding stones slowly rose up.

Old Yang simply coughed, and the floating stones stopped moving.

Who exactly are you?

"The one who will take your life."

"Sneak attack!"

Vayte was shocked by Walter's ability to suppress his control over gravity. Seizing the opportunity, Qiong thrust her flame spear, which was wreathed in flames, at Vayte.

"Despicable! You actually dared to ambush your leader!"

Vayte hastily used his shield to block, but the Flame Spear's attack was much stronger than the baseball bat's, causing cracks to appear in Eden's Star's shield and knocking Vayte back several steps.

"Qiong, I'm here to help you!"

Mei also took the opportunity to launch a joint attack, unleashing a barrage of sword techniques at Vait, but it had no effect, only making Vait even angrier.

"You bunch of ants!"

Holding the Star of Eden aloft, Vayte felt he had to resort to his ultimate move.

"Try this move of mine, Gravity Crush! You'll be under a hundred times the normal gravity..."

A gravitational field pressed down on everyone from Vayte. Just when everyone felt that their bodies were about to be crushed by this gravity, another black light flashed, and the pressure of the gravitational field suddenly decreased.

"Professor Walter?"

Mei looked in surprise toward the source of the black light, where she saw Walter standing there holding another Star of Eden.

"Don't even think about hurting my students."

"Uncle Yang, you're awesome!"

"I refuse to believe it!!!!"

Walter intensified the gravitational field, but Walter didn't give him a second chance. Half a minute later, only a large crater remained where Walter had been.

"Doctor, have you breached the database?"

Seeing that Einstein seemed somewhat distracted, Cocolia felt a little anxious.

This is the enemy's headquarters! Can't we be a little more nervous?

"It's finished."

Einstein glanced at Cocolia. Who did she think she was? At least she had a copy of the database. How long would it take to crack it? Compared to that, the communication this morning was much more troublesome.

Okay, I'll talk to Walter later.

Cocolia's plan included a step in her going into the database beneath St. Freya Academy with Einstein to lure Theresa there, preventing her from being distracted by Vayte's capture of the Third Herrscher, Raiden Mei.

However, Ai-in has already reported the entire plan to Walter, and at Walter's request, she relayed it to Theresa through Yae Sakura, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

"That's enough!"

The people arrived, and everything went as Cocolia had predicted.

"Oh my, isn't this Theresa?"

The blonde fox turned around and smiled.

"It's been so long! You haven't grown any taller at all—Siegfried? What are you doing here?!"

This was not in the plan.

Today, I realized something again... Screw gambling, stay away from all gambling! I need to focus my energy on writing!

Try to adjust my mindset and write more (I'm in a bad mood today, and even I think the quality of my writing is terrible...).
