Chapter 146 A Parting Foreshadowed from the Moment We Met

The trees deep in the forest rustled in the wind, black crows scattered and flew away, and a leaf fell from a tree on a mountain ridge, landing in the scarlet blood.

Qiao Qiao lay in the crimson blood, his delicate face appearing pale and sickly in the dappled shadows of the trees. His chest had been pierced directly by "Black Abyss," and his life force was constantly draining away.

In the shadow of the tree branches, Yulandel lay in a pool of blood, holding Jojo in her arms, her eyes, which were once as clear and transparent as the sky, filled with tears.

The urgent cries echoed through the quiet forest, and glistening tears fell like a broken beaded curtain onto Qiaoqiao's pale face.

Qiao Qiao looked at Durandal, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, with a dreamy gaze. She felt a pang of reluctance in her heart. She had never imagined that the confident and strong Durandal would cry like this.

Even in the past, when Jojo subjected her to physical and mental training by the World Serpent, she had never cried as emotionally as she did now.

Qiaoqiao raised her hand and stroked Yulandel's pretty and delicate face.

"Durandal, stop crying, run away quickly..."

"No!"

Yulandel shook her head with great reluctance and grasped his cold fingers that were stroking her.

"Qiaoqiao, hang in there, I will definitely find a doctor to cure you."

Jojo looked calmly at the anxious Durandal. He was the world's top expert in biology and medicine, and no one understood his body better than him.

The black abyss pierced directly through Qiao Qiao's chest, and the "death" aura attached to it was constantly eroding his body.

It's beyond saving now.

“It’s no use…” Qiao Qiao remained calm and composed in the face of death, and said in a low voice, “From the moment I met you, this ending was already destined.”

“Since this is an inevitable fate, there is no need to make any futile struggles. I have done many bad things in my life, but at least I kept my promise in the end and rescued you... That is enough.”

Jojo has accepted his death with equanimity. After all, he played the role of a villain who committed all kinds of evil throughout his life. In the end, being able to die in Durandal's arms can be considered as Jojo defying fate.

"No, you still have a promise to keep, you absolutely cannot leave me like this."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Yulandel grasped Jojo's already cold and powerless hand.

"Didn't you say you would abandon everything in the World Serpent and elope with me to live a secluded life in the world?" Durandal said, choking back tears. "Your promise is not yet fulfilled. I will never let you die like this."

Qiao Qiao smiled slightly. He hadn't expected that the words he had used to trick Durandal into helping him seize the Herrscher of the Wind would still be remembered by her to this day.

"I'm sorry..." Jojo said weakly, "I lied to you... I knew from the beginning that there would never be a future between the World Serpent's Torture Officer and the Valkyrie of Destiny..."

"Even if you and I live in seclusion, the World Serpent and the people of Destiny will not let us go."

Jojo had not told Durandal the whole truth before.

You must know that JoJo is the interrogator of the World Serpent. It would be easy for her to release Durandal and the others, but what's terrifying is the World Serpent's pursuit that follows.

If he were to elope with Durandal, he would likely be hunted down by the World Serpent and both the Fate faction immediately.

Rather than die at the hands of the World Serpent, Jojo would rather end her own life, so that at least she wouldn't implicate Durandal.

"Durandal, after I die, remember to take the Herrscher Core out of my body and give it to Cocolia in Abyss City. Let her use this core to trade with Grey Serpent. Only in this way can Seele be rescued."

As a Honkai Impact player, Qiao Qiao knows the plot perfectly well. That old bastard Gray Serpent will definitely use this core to lure Bronya, a minor girl, into the Sea of ​​Quanta and release Ancestor Kevin.

As Jojo had already foreseen, the World Serpent successfully brought Kevin back to life, and Cocolia was able to rescue her daughter, Seele.

Durandal's face turned deathly pale. She didn't want to hear Jojo's dying words. After all, Jojo was the Herrscher of Wind himself. If the Herrscher Core were removed, it would mean that he would surely die.

"No, I don't want that. I don't care what kind of deal you made with Cocolia. I just want you to live."

As she spoke, Durandal tried to lift Jojo from the pool of blood, unwilling to let him die before her eyes no matter what.

Jojo calmly shook his head. He knew he was close to death and said to Durandal, "Don't do anything pointless anymore. Remember... don't let the people of Destiny know that you have any connection with the World Serpent's executives."

"After I die... tell those Valkyries and Bishop Otto that you killed me and saved everyone, so that you can continue to stay in Schicksal."

Yulandel was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected Qiao Qiao to have thought so far ahead. It turned out that the reason he chose to die at her hands was to clear his name of the relationship between her and Qiao Qiao.

You must understand that if the people of Destiny find out what happened between Jojo and Durandal, even if she returns to Destiny, she will never be able to escape the crime of treason.

Even though Jojo pursued her relentlessly, Durandal refused to believe that a World Serpent executive could genuinely love her. Although she had long harbored feelings for Jojo, she always felt that the people of the World Serpent were ruthless and fickle, so how could Jojo possibly be willing to give up his identity, status, and power within the World Serpent to be with her?

Unexpectedly, in order to save him, Qiaoqiao not only gave up everything she had built up in the World Snake, but was even willing to give up her life.

It wasn't until Jojo proved herself with her life that Durandal realized she had wronged the person who loved her most in the world.

Unfortunately, when Durandal realized Jojo's love for her, she wanted to win him back, but it was too late.

Durandal's tears fell like a broken beaded curtain as she choked out, "Jojo, I was wrong. You were so good to me, but I always thought you were a wicked person who did all sorts of evil things..."

Seeing Durandal in tears, Jojo weakly comforted her, saying, "You did nothing wrong... You have the mission of a Valkyrie, and I have the position of a World Serpent executive. From the moment we met, we were destined to part ways."

"I'm a bad person, I've done many wrong things in my life, but meeting you is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me..."

Jojo wasn't afraid of death, but the thought of parting forever from the woman he loved brought tears to his eyes: "Durandal, forget me, live well..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiaoqiao's hand, which had been stroking Youlandail's pretty face, suddenly lost all its strength and fell heavily to the ground.

As Yulandel watched Jojo lose her last bit of strength and droop her head like a broken puppet, tears instantly welled up in her eyes. Holding Jojo's body, she wept uncontrollably, knowing that she had killed the boy who loved her most in the world with her own hands.

【you are dead. 】

[The system has detected the host's death; the special card Craft Essence "Platinum Star" effect has been triggered.]

[Note: This item can trace and alter history, but requires burning all of the host's current Honkai energy.]

[Note 2: After the history is altered, the host's existence will be erased; only those who still harbor deep feelings for the host and possess the "Platinum Star" card will retain their memories.]

Do you wish to use this item to rewrite history?

Seeing the options presented by the simulator, Qiao Qiao did not hesitate for a moment. He had seized the core of the Herrscher of Wind in order to use the "Platinum Star" to rewrite the history of this timeline in this simulation.

In the original world, Kiana Kaslana's mother, Cecilia Schariac, died in the Second Honkai Impact, which is why Siegfried later betrayed Schicksal and took Kiana to join Anti-Entropy.

Then... in that accident, "Kiana" ceased to exist, and only "Durandal" remained in this world.

JoJo seizes the core of the Herrscher of Wind and uses the power of the "Platinum Star" Mystic Code to rewrite history in order to return to the battlefield of the Second Honkai Impact and rewrite the history of Cecilia's death.

In this way, Durandal will not lose her memory and will be able to have a complete and happy childhood.

If she truly has feelings for him, she might even remember the engagement she made with Qiaoqiao when they were children.

Without any hesitation, JoJo thought, "Of course I'll choose... to use the 'Platinum Star' Mystic Code."

[Ding—The "Platinum Star" Mystic Code has been used. Initiating docking with the Imaginary Tree to perform a time-space reversal.]

The simulator's cold voice echoed in Qiao Qiao's mind, and then the scenery around him began to collapse and crumble.

In the blink of an eye, Qiaoqiao arrived at an unfamiliar place.

Broken ruins and rubble fell in mid-air like stars, and the ground was covered with scarlet sand.

A giant, snow-white tree stands majestically in the distance.

written request for leave

I originally planned to write this in the early hours of the morning as usual, but it's too late today, so I'll postpone the update until tomorrow.

Chapter 148 The Secret Game Between Yulandal

[You used the Saniat Holy Blood obtained from Durandal to neutralize the Honkai energy generated by the Second Herrscher, Sirin's, rampage.]

Cecilia Schariac, seeing the powerful holy blood within you, constantly questioned your true identity, but no matter how she pondered it, there was no one named you in the Schariac family.

No rush... no rush...

Not now, but there will be in the future.

[When I heard you call yourself her son-in-law, I was shocked. You must know that Durandal, who is now little Kiana, is only two years old and has just learned to speak...]

[In Cecilia's mind, you seem to have a bit of a "lolicon" vibe, but that doesn't stop her from being moved by your selfless act of saving her life.]

If you can wait until Kiana grows up, she wouldn't mind entrusting her daughter to a reliable man like you.

[Unfortunately... there are no "what ifs." When you sacrificed your holy blood and the Second Herrscher's Honkai energy in place of Cecilia, your life was already destined to end here, with no future to speak of.]

[Unlocking the Kaslana Stigmata, Siegfried, in his semi-Honkai beast form, loads the Herrscher of Reason core, imbued with Welt's will, into the Judgment of Heaven, activating the "Annihilation" mode.]

[Siegfried, aided by the Honkai energy provided by the Herrscher of Reason and Parvati's Honkai Beast genes, activated the Judgment of Heaven: Annihilation mode, sweeping his sword across and splitting the atmosphere in two.]

[Using the portal you created using Shaniat, Sirin's Herrscher core was struck by Siegfried's Skyfire and fell into a dormant state.]

[Your sacred blood from Shaniat transforms into crimson blossoms that fall with the snow, restoring those infected by the Honkai to their original state.]

On the snowy plains, a group of siblings you saved with the holy blood of Shaniat embraced and wept.

You redeemed the innocent victims on the snowy plains with your own blood, but in doing so, all the blood in your body dried up.

My God... He bled to death.

That's such a gruesome way to die! Luckily it's just a text record; if it were real-life mode, it would have been excruciatingly painful.

[After you destroyed the Honkai energy in all of Siberia, Otto of Schicksal headquarters launched three Honkai fission bombs at the Babylon Laboratory in order to destroy you and Siegfried as well.]

I'm sorry!

Alto, you damn bastard!

They actually sent me a nuclear bomb when I was about to die?!

[You know perfectly well that Siegfried, now in his semi-Honkai beast form, and Cecilia, possessing the Holy Blood, are not afraid of Honkai fission bombs, but there are still people you care about on this battlefield.]
