I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

"Um, if it's not too much trouble, could you loosen up a little? I just want to stretch my muscles."

She could run away if she relaxed even a little.

"God of Deception, do you think your lies will work when surrounded by golden threads?"

Aglaia wore a smile, but a sharp edge was hidden beneath.

joke!

To avoid being fooled or deceived by Teacher Qiong, she deliberately exchanged a pair of eyes that could see through everything with [Romance].

"Save your energy."

Phyllis grabbed Batrus's tail and started playing with it.

"Oh dear!"

Having transformed into a catwoman, her tail, a sensitive spot, was grabbed, and the strange sensation she hadn't experienced in thousands of years made Batrus's face turn bright red.

"You...you just wait! Don't think you can trap me like this. Once I break free of these damned golden threads and return to my original form, I'll take every single hair from your heads! Hehehe!"

Her harsh words, coupled with her soft, girlish voice and blushing, cat-like face, had virtually no deterrent effect; instead, they sounded more like she was being coquettish.

Impotent rage.

"Are you really the legendary Zagreus, the ancestor who toyed with the gods? This art style feels completely different from what I imagined."

Saifei circled Batrus twice, looking at him curiously, her hand supporting her chin.

"Awoo!"

Batrus opened her mouth and bit the finger that was poking her.

"So fierce! So fierce!"

Saifeier abruptly withdrew her finger, leaving Batrus biting into empty air.

"Hey, little cat, be a little more polite to the thief's ancestor."

"Don't forget, you're a cat now too."

"You guys tricked me!"

"However, I must say, you guys surprised me. I never thought I would be deceived one day."

Half a month ago, she heard the news that Zagres had fallen and that the Holy City had obtained the Seed of Deception.

Do I look like that?

How come I didn't know?

Who is Zagres? She is the Titan of Deception. After a little thought, one can tell that this is a scheme by the Moths to lure her out.

"Hehehe, interesting, really interesting."

She was very satisfied with this feast of lies, so she should prepare even more for her plan to steal the Empire's new creation, what was it called, the game console, from the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden.

They came to Ohma specifically to mock Caesar, after all, they were just mortals, even if there were demigods who inherited the fire, or gods who could thwart schemes.

She was full of confidence.

Even knowing that the empire has romantic demigods.

It's true that romantic powers restrain her, but how long has that girl been a demigod? Does she even understand how to use powers effectively?

How can one contend with an old master who has mastered the art of cunning and power?

But she really didn't expect it.

"Ouch—stop pinching me!"

As Phyllis played with his tail, Batrus felt increasingly strange.

"Your skill in reversing lies is simply divine."

Having the power to lie, after spending some time reflecting and contemplating, she roughly guessed the reason why Phyllis took away the fire.

But that only made me more shocked.

"Heh heh, but it's a real shame to waste your talent on the right path. Would you be interested in collaborating with me?"

"No way, you, the mighty Titan of Deception, how could you so quickly back down and defect to the enemy?"

This was the first time Phyllis had ever seen a Titan like this.

That sliding speed...

how to say.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a simulated path to pleasure.

They have absolutely no shame.

"Hehe, the most important thing for a god is to be happy... oh no, to be pragmatic."

Batrus let out his signature sly laugh, but when Phyllis stared at him with a half-smile, he couldn't laugh anymore and sighed.

"Alas! A swindler is not afraid of encountering guards or villains, but he is afraid of encountering a fellow swindler with superb skills."

"Cooperation? My dear daughter, you don't even have a spark left. What do you have to talk about cooperation with your mother? You should just be my second daughter."

Phyllis pinched Batrus's soft little face, her smile warm.

"Batalus, you don't want to perish completely as Zagres, do you?"

"..."

Batrus was silent for two seconds, then turned her head away, pouting.

“I’m not such a casual god. I’m the one who makes fun of others, but no one has ever dared to make fun of me.”

"Oh~ it means you'd rather die than submit? You have guts."

Phyllis gave a thumbs-up in praise.

"Alright, you can't force a melon to ripen. Since you're unwilling, I won't force you. I'll remove your power and let you return to Styx with dignity as the Deceit Titan."

That's what they say, but since Titan died, it seems he doesn't go to the underworld.

"Wait! Mom, my dear mother! Have mercy! Have mercy!"

Batrus immediately panicked, turned around and pitifully begged like a child abandoned by his mother, even getting Saifeier, who had a look of utter disbelief, to plead for him.

"Sister! Big sister! Please persuade us! I am your long-lost sister, Batrus! Blood is thicker than water, sister!"

Now that the spark has been lost, Phyllis's power is the only anchor for her existence.

Without the anchor point, she really had to send it.

Seeing Saifei'er stare blankly with wide eyes, Batrus started to fake cry again.

"Waaah, my talent that I've always relied on has been taken away in an instant, and my flawless techniques have suddenly become full of holes. I feel like I'm not myself anymore."

"If I'm going to be abandoned by my mother again, I might as well jump into the abyss, swim to Cenatos, and let it give me a quick death..."

"Oh? Looking for Cenatos? Then you don't need to swim so far, it's too tiring."

"The Moths that Chase Fire have Death Demigods, readily available, skilled, and guaranteed painless. Would you like me to book an express package for you?"

Phyllis's words made Batrus abruptly stop crying, as if he had been choked.

She could only stare at Phyllis with her teary, heterochromatic eyes, looking pitifully and beggingly at her, her tail tip drooping.

"Oh, this."

Titi, Haeserin, and Aglaia exchanged glances.

"Is this...is this really the Deception Titan?"

"Isn't that too embarrassing? But if it's Zagres, then it's acceptable."

"In the deep sea."

Heather's cool voice rang out.

"The most dangerous predators are often not the fiercest, but those that are good at disguising themselves, pretending to be dying to lure predators into lowering their guard."

Her deep blue eyes were fixed on Batrus, without the slightest relaxation.

"Don't say that. I'm not a fish, I'm a cat now, a cat that eats fish."

"The Deceit Titan... looks more like a petty thief stripped of all pretense."

Aglaia shook her head helplessly, a strand of gold thread twirling around her fingertip.

"I'm done for this time, woman. Even if I die, no one in this world will give me a single pitying look! Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh."

Batrus made a harsh remark to Aglaia and even resorted to self-inflicted suffering, bursting into tears.

This caused the corners of their mouths to twitch.

"Alright, alright, are you never going to stop being such a drama queen?"

Phyllis, having had her fill of amusement, clapped her hands with a grin.

"Aglaia, can you put her down?"

"can."

Bound by Aglaia's golden threads, Batrus had no chance of escape.

With a slight twitch of her fingertips, the golden threads of truth wrapped around Batrus receded like a tide.

"Wow!"

Losing his support, Batrus crashed headfirst onto the hard stone slab of the dungeon with a thud.

"Meow, it hurts!"

The cat-eared girl covered her reddened forehead and rolled around on the ground.

"From today onwards, we are a loving family."

Phyllis stepped forward, lifting Batrus by the scruff of his neck like a cat, while her other arm encircled Sephiroth, and she announced with a radiant smile...

"Mom, are you serious?"

Sai Fei'er looked at her strangely.

Has Zagres really become her sister?

"Sister, sister, do you dislike me?"

Butrus was quite a character; seizing the opportunity, she clung to Saifei'er's leg, calling her "sister" over and over in a very affectionate manner.

"Since Mom has said so, then okay, from now on you'll be my little sister, and we'll be the Cat's Eye Trio!"

Saifei patted Batrus on the shoulder.

Is this why Mom turned Zagreb into a cat?

"From now on, we'll split the stolen goods 80/20."

"Huh? Aren't we sisters?"

Even sisters should keep clear accounts.

"Um, well, I have a little suggestion? How about we... 73..."

Saifei looked at Phyllis expressionlessly:

“Mom, I suddenly remembered that I do have a younger sister, but she died when I was very young.”

Batrus stood up straight instantly, his face full of gratitude:

"82, just 82! My sister really cares about me!"

With this, Zagreus was completely destroyed, and only Batrus, the youngest of the Cat's Eye sisters, remained.

Three days after resolving the matter with Batrus, Saifeier underwent the trial of the Deceptive Fire.

The process went unexpectedly smoothly, just as the Titis had predicted. Saifeier successfully fused with the Fire Seed and ascended to become a demigod of trickery.

The first thing Cypher did upon becoming a demigod was to use her newfound powers to help her new sister solidify her form of existence.

The power of deception, like stitches, sewed together Batrus's identity, woven from lies, into reality.

The Demigod of Deceit's abilities are—
