To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Mebius said somewhat lazily on the sofa, his mind replaying the details of his experiment with Klein.

The next steps were Vilvie's special task; she was only in charge of handling emergencies.

Although no one had ever paid attention to the Yingjie Organization, since they had known each other for so long... and considering the pink-haired fat woman's plea last night, she would reluctantly help her out.

Anyway, according to the calculations, if there are no problems with Wilvi's device, she shouldn't need to use herself.

Mebius watched this scene with satisfaction; she was more interested in how to trick Fu Hua into coming to the experimental table.

"Knock knock knock—" came the sound of knocking on the door, simple and forceful.

Alicia greeted her with a smile, but upon opening the door, she found a serene girl with long, wavy blonde hair.

Seeing this, Durandal nodded slightly, holding a box in her hand. With a click, she slowly opened it.

Inside was an ancient, ancient longsword from the Far East. With its appearance, the air seemed to fill with a chilling aura, carrying a faint sense of danger.

A faint phantom of a giant fox demon coiled around the blade, its tongue licking its lips as if it were eyeing a delicious meal, its eyes slightly reddening, ready to pounce at any moment.

Velvi and Mebius frowned and took a step back. Qianjie snorted coldly but said nothing. Kevin clenched his fist and watched coldly.

Sakura was somewhat agitated, a hint of excitement flickering in her usually cool eyes. Though subtle, she definitely sensed a familiar aura from the sword—a feeling from her memories. That person hadn't lied to her. Her Ling was probably really coming back!

For them, who are still only half-data, the threat of the Key of Corruption is self-evident, so everyone is on high alert. Alicia and Fu Hua stepped forward to prevent any accidents from happening.

Compared to Ying Jie, their existence is safer.

Durandal glanced at everyone present, her pupils contracting slightly when she saw Sue and Kevin, but she didn't rush to say anything. She probably guessed who these people were.

She had met these two pioneers in her previous experiences.

She gripped the hilt of the sword; the immense pressure caused the fox spirit on the blade to wince in pain, glancing warily at Durandal.

For the demon sword, Durandal, who possesses a star power, is someone she cannot defeat for the time being.

She restrained herself, no longer eyeing the 'food' in front of her with predatory intent.

"Seniors, do you have a way to repair this sword?" Durandal asked calmly, without showing any fear.

Regardless of who is opposite her, at this moment she represents destiny.

Velvi glanced at the knife in surprise, then at Durandal. Even though she was bound by the Divine Key, the fact that she didn't suffer any backlash at such close range showed that the girl in front of her was extraordinary.

She said, "Just put the knife in the box, the one on the table."

She pointed to the newly completed work and gestured to Durandal.

Durandal drew the knife and placed it into the box, where it fit perfectly, as if tailor-made. She then stepped back and quietly watched their performance.

Möbius didn't even glance at the box on the table, but stared intently at the girl who entered. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became, occasionally licking his lips and unconsciously smiling. She decisively seduced him:

"Hehe, this must be the S-rank Valkyrie Durandal, right? Are you interested in becoming stronger?"

During this time, she also learned about the basic situation of Destiny. Through the game, she also learned about the important figures now, of course, the situation in the game. She was also very interested in the so-called Cecilia Holy Blood, but the previous saintess had lost her power in a battle, so she could only give up helplessly.

She was initially uninterested in the so-called strongest S-rank Valkyrie in the game, but when she actually met her, she realized that she had underestimated the strongest in the modern era.

The power of the two Stigmata has fused so perfectly within her body that the most perfect product of the Stigmata Project has been born, only lacking the final step of activation.

He possessed the power of the stars in the sky, and his body contained something heavy, like a world unto itself.

Mebius's eyes lit up. If he could get her to perform surgery on him, his plan for the Holy Mark would definitely take a big step forward!

Compared to the Stigmata directly given by Luo Mo, this product, which was planned by him but outside the scope of his plan, seems more tempting.

Durandal crossed her arms and looked at the green-haired girl in front of her. Before she came, someone had told her not to accept any kindness from Mebius and not to provoke the wrath of the Thousand Calamities.

If there's something wrong with the body, it must be Möbius's doing. If something breaks, it must be Chika's doing.

As soon as she arrived, unknown people tried to abduct her.

Really, do I look like someone who's easily fooled?

Durandal sighed helplessly, looked at Mebius in front of her, and shook her head, saying, "Someone told me not to agree to anything Mebius says."

"And I think you must be Möbius?"

Mebius's face stiffened, a flash of anger crossing his face, but he quickly recovered and said calmly, "Oh, big sister, I don't know what you're talking about. My name is Alicia."

Alicia covered her mouth and chuckled, watching this awkward scene without arguing back; she simply found it amusing.

"Huh~, Grandma Mebius, when did you and Alicia change your names?" Gretchen asked, puzzled, as she had just finished a painting and her pretty face still had a smear of blue paint on it.

The scene fell silent for a moment, then Qianjie burst into laughter.

"Pfft, I never thought you'd make a fool of yourself like this."

Qian Jie didn't care how embarrassing the occasion was; he would never hesitate to mock Mebius when the opportunity arose.

Even the cat couldn't help but chuckle, but thankfully it lowered its head before Mebius gave it a cold look.

"Hmm...did I say something wrong?" Gretchen poked her cheek with her hand, looking puzzled.

But she didn't notice that a little bit of red paint from the paintbrush had gotten on her face, making her look like a little kitten.

“…” Mebius didn’t know how to explain to Gretsch, “Gretsch, I was just joking, and from now on you should call me sister.”

"Sister?" Gretchen looked over, then saw Alicia wink at her. She nodded, seemingly understanding, and said earnestly,

“Okay, I understand, Grandma Mebius.”

Mebius was furious. Of course she knew it was Alicia who was behind it, and she didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer.

Seeing that Wilvi was still intently examining the knife in the box, he went over to her; with her skill level, helping her would be no problem at all.

Sakura watched Wilvi's movements with a tense expression, afraid of disturbing her.

Strangely enough, when the Tokyo Mitama entered the box, its icy aura disappeared. Vilvie frowned as she observed the structure of this Divine Key, which was indeed slightly different from what she had set.

She clearly remembered there was a back door, but now its location has been moved, and its function has changed considerably.

She hesitated whether she should dismantle the knife and extract its consciousness from its core, but to be honest, she wasn't sure what would happen if she did.

She pondered for a moment, then her eyes fell on Alicia, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She remembered that Alicia's ability was definitely related to the fact that so many Herrschers had regained their humanity.

If the backdoor operation is uncertain, using Alicia's abilities is undoubtedly the best option.

As for extracting consciousness, although it's not difficult to do, but... Velvi looked at Mebius with a wicked smile, isn't there someone who has it ready-made?

"What? You can't do it?" Mebius frowned. Would Velvey give up so easily?

"Well, dear Dr. Mebius, of course not, but if I were to use my method, I would need to dismantle the knife, and the backdoor I left behind has indeed undergone unknown changes."

Vervi explained, then turned her gaze to Alicia, gesturing for her to come over as well, "Dr. Mebius was researching how to leave Paradise while he was there, right? You should be quite familiar with consciousness transfer technology."

As two of the most brilliant scientists in the paradise, they had some idea what the other was doing, but they generally wouldn't report each other.

Now that I'm out of there and free from those worries, I can speak frankly.

Mebius frowned, his voice displeased, "Hmph...aren't you afraid that what you're extracting is the consciousness of a Herrscher?"

"There is only one consciousness within the sword; Rin's consciousness and the Herrscher's consciousness should be mixed together."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I can't do something as difficult as separating consciousness."

Möbius sighed as if regretful, then said to Sakura, "Alright, alright, Sakura, don't make that face, it's too unpleasant. Listen to Wilvie, she should have made up her mind by now."

Sakura, who had been feeling lost, had her hope rekindled. She looked at Wilville and Mebius and said softly, "I hope the two doctors can save Ling. I'm willing to pay any price."

“Mebius!” Qianjie said, his tone unfriendly.

"What, you're going to plead for me too?"

"If you save Ling... I won't pursue the rumors you spread about me," Qian Jie said, each word distinct and his tone leaving no room for argument.

“Hey, don’t make me sound like a villain,” Mebius said irritably, his face showing displeasure. “I also want to save Ling, but it’s just that this guy, Velvet, won’t reveal his plan.”

Velvi looked at Alicia. This time, it was much safer with Alicia's help. Originally, she planned to take away the consciousness herself and then let Alicia use her abilities.

She nodded slightly and chuckled, "The beautiful leading lady always makes her appearance last, doesn't she?"

"A story's female protagonist needs some special abilities to be considered a qualified protagonist, don't you agree?"

She smiled sweetly, indicating that we could begin.

Mebius glanced at it with a puzzled look in her eyes, then said nothing more. She then took out her research results from Paradise and peeled away the consciousness of Jizo Mitama from the box step by step.

Surprisingly simple. Mebius glanced at Velvet with a puzzled look. She simply shrugged. This was a cage she had specially created for Herrschers. Anyone who entered it would inevitably fall into a deep sleep, especially the Herrscher's core.

Naturally, the separation went very smoothly, and the fox demon shadow taken out of the box was shrouded in a layer of mist, preventing her from waking up.

Velvi carefully placed her in her hand and looked at Alicia.

Alicia stopped making excuses and used the power of the Stigmata to try to awaken the humanity within her consciousness.

Enveloped in a sea of ​​white light, the fox spirit's consciousness gradually transformed into human form, its tail receding and its face turning toward the girl.

Sweat beaded on Alicia's forehead, yet she persisted. Meanwhile, as Alicia focused on her own tasks, bursts of light appeared on the bodies of the heroes present. Their forms remained solid, but holy light emanated from them.

Durandal watched this scene in surprise, and had more guesses about their appearance.

She has long, cherry-blossom-colored hair tied in a ponytail. Her bangs are pink, and she wears a white shirt and pink plaid. She has fox ears. If Luo Mo were here, he would definitely recognize her as the character Himeko from the game. However, compared to her small appearance in Yae Village, she looks more like the girl in the stigmata illustration.

Sakura's surprised expression froze, turning into bitterness, while Alicia was also panting, her eyes filled with confusion.

Velvi frowned; this was beyond her expectations. The steps were correct, the Herrscher consciousness had been extracted, and Alicia's abilities were working.

“Unless…” Velvi thought of a possibility,

"Unless what?" Sakura asked urgently.

“You just said that you did feel Ling’s consciousness in it, and that’s true.” Velvi argued her point. “Before this, I was very curious. Herrschers don’t deliberately leave a trace of consciousness to avoid being swallowed up, but Ling’s consciousness is indeed preserved in it.”

"So, there are actually three consciousnesses inside?" Möbius frowned. Was this some kind of party? It was so lively!

“That’s right, a Herrscher has two consciousnesses, one good and one evil. Ellie’s ability… well, anyway, is to eliminate the consciousness with destructive potential.”

“But the human aspect of consciousness still remains in the body,” Vervi explained, adding that she was also somewhat troubled by the current situation.

Are we going to have to split it again? They're not very confident when it comes to precise manipulation of consciousness.

At that moment, the mist dissipated, and the figure in the arms rubbed their eyes, opening them to see Sakura looking tense and worried.

"elder sister!"

She rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Ling, I will protect you and never let you get hurt again!" Ying hugged Ling tightly, her eyes filled with guilt, joy, and relief that everything could be salvaged.
