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

Meanwhile, in the real world, Anti-Entropy and the Valkyrie were attacking Bella relentlessly. With a final, forceful strike using Heavenly Fire, Bella's core dissipated within her body.

This meant the death of Sirin's last remaining family member.

Sirin naturally sensed it and immediately took action, questioning them with a mixture of grief and anger. However, seeing Siegfried and Cecilia's agile movements...

She then realized... that she had been the one unaware all along; they were just putting on an act.

No matter how Cecilia tried to persuade her, Sirin ignored her, but she still decided to take action against Walter first, eliminating the traitor.

With the final step of Walter's plan—the Moon Throne—bombing Sirin's physical body in reality, Sirin's consciousness space could no longer withstand it.

As Sirin watched her power drain away, she couldn't help but erupt once more.

She asked softly, as if no one heard her.

"You humans, why... do you always deceive me? Those experiments, that woman, you deceived me, you killed Bella..."

Just as she decided to kill those on the battlefield, a golden chain shot straight towards her—it was Theresa's Judas.

The final battlefield is between Theresa, Siegfried, and Cecilia.

Of the three people who had ever been kind to her, Sirin laughed maniacally, then turned to the woman and asked sadly, "Cecilia... are you here to kill me too?"

Then the two were trapped, her... fake parents.

Having experienced so many setbacks, she intends to overcome them one by one.

But as mentioned earlier, Theresa was able to emerge because she possessed the zeroth rated power of the Divine Key; within its range, all Honkai energy would vanish.

Theresa, carrying chains with spearheads, walked step by step to Sirin, her face filled with reluctance, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"...sorry."

"..."

“A pretentious liar,” Celine said, her head bowed. She was completely unable to move, a feeling that reminded her of the laboratory days.

Theresa moved her hand and struck, piercing the heart. The barrier then dissipated on its own, and she collapsed to the ground.

...

"Do you know this move?" Himeko looked at the countless golden gears on the screen. Even a six-core Herrscher of the Void was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

“…??、??Shut up. Of course I can.” Theresa said loudly, tightening her grip on Judah’s hand.

Damn, Judas has this ability? Grandma didn't tell her either. She seems really strong, even though it takes a lot of effort.

"Then why haven't I seen you use it?"

"Didn't you see in the video? After using it, my bloodline could very well die on the spot!" Theresa said without hesitation.

"..." Himeko stared at her without saying a word.

"...Theresa, think about it, do you really have the bloodline of the Honkai Beast in the video? You're not one of the experimental subjects."

Theresa fell silent for a moment, trying to recall how she had dealt with such awkward situations in the past. Oh no, the image of Luo Mo flashed through her mind.

“Hey, hey?” Theresa tilted her head slightly with a cute expression and said this.

Himeko was speechless. Yes, just like she used to be.

"What are your thoughts, second sister? Are you particularly easy to fool?" Kiana whispered mockingly in Sirin's ear.

“Little Sirin can be a bit silly sometimes, and she’s quite easy to fool,” Cecilia nodded in agreement.

"Mom, why are you saying that too!" Celine stomped her foot. "I'm just too trusting... I'm not stupid."

"Yes, yes, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to trick a daughter back."

Cecilia smiled and continued teasing, her interest piqued as she watched the annoyed Sirin.

"Hmph! Bella, come here, let me see if your core is damaged." Sirin was still angry and, unusually, remembered Bella's situation.

Bella was deeply moved, considering it the highest honor, and hurriedly went to Sirin.

"Hmm... the Honkai energy is severely depleted, but there's not much damage." Sirin breathed a sigh of relief; Bella in the real world couldn't be allowed to get hurt.

Chapter 32 Black Abyss, White Flower, Holy Blood Unleashed!

Just when Theresa thought it was all over,

Sirin stood up, staring indifferently at Theresa lying on the ground.

It turns out that, in the instant the barrier disappeared, she used the power of the Herrscher of Death to repair her heart.

...

Siegfried and Cecilia are trapped in the endless corridor constructed by Sirin.

He wandered aimlessly like a mindless fly, frantic with worry but unable to find a way out.

Unexpectedly, a white-haired man appeared, and Siegfried looked at him warily.

He claimed to be communicating via quantum entanglement using the stigmata within Siegfried's body, but he could only communicate, not attack.

Time was limited, so after giving him a hint, he gave Siegfried a strong suggestion.

—Kill the Honkai

Without further hesitation, even if it would exacerbate the Honkai beast transformation, Siegfried was still determined to use the Heavenly Fire Greatsword. Wasn't it born to protect?

Then, the power of the heavenly fire pierced through the space, and Sirin's chest was scorched by the flames.

She screamed in pain, releasing Siegfried, who was wreaking havoc inside.

Siegfried, who emerged, transformed into a wild beast with azure claws, jet-black horns, a thick, powerful tail, and purple-patterned scales.

At this moment, he resembled neither a Honkai Beast nor a human, but rather... a monster!

Like a wild beast devoid of reason, it attacked Sirin madly.

With only the belief in defeating the Honkai remaining in his heart, Siegfried disregarded his own body; only one voice echoed in his mind—annihilate the Honkai.

Sirin tried desperately to escape the space between them, releasing Honkai Beasts in an attempt to stop them.

But when she turned her head, she realized that her eyes were filled with terror, and she exclaimed, "That monster... is eating Honkai Beasts!"

This scene was observed by Otto, who was far away in Destiny, through the screen. He gritted his teeth, scoffed, and said coldly,

"This posture is less like that of a legendary savior and more like that of a demon seeking revenge against the collapse."

He stared coldly at Siegfried inside, making a decision in his mind.

During the battle, Sirin's panic became the final straw that broke her back.

Siegfried leaped into the air, severing Sirin's left arm with his Heavenly Fire Greatsword and knocking her to the ground. All he needed to do was strip her of the Tranquility Gem and deliver the final blow to kill the Second Herrscher.

But Siegfried stopped, holding a cube in his hand.

Kevin, who was secretly observing, frowned. His brainwaves seemed to have been affected. He looked suspiciously at Siegfried's hand, where he held the box from the Infinite Corridor.

Cecilia is still inside!

Even though his consciousness was blurred, the whispers of eliminating the Honkai echoed in his ears, and he still remembered his original intention to protect the world so clearly. That was the reason for his fight. Didn't he abandon the idea of ​​protecting the world from the very beginning?

He had always been protecting her—Cecilia.

Through a subconscious connection with Siegfried, Kevin felt his heartbeat again after a long time.

His heart pounded, memories almost overwhelmed him; he couldn't stop recalling the purple-haired figure always walking ahead of him, the scenes of their encounters, Mei...

He remained silent, then sighed, "In that case, just protect what you consider most important."

"Anyway, with the core of the Herrscher of Death lost, she can no longer regenerate."

...

"Dad..." Kiana exclaimed as she watched the video.

She hadn't seen her father often, and her history knowledge was terrible. For her, what she saw in front of her already occupied almost all her thoughts.

She naturally and subconsciously believed that this was true. Kiana was naturally proud of her father, but as a family member, her first thought was to worry.

She turned to look at Cecilia, her gaze heavy with sorrow, and asked,

"Mom, Dad, did you do that back then? And it turned out like that..."

“Yes, and it’s the kind of transformation that’s very difficult to reverse. He can only control his body to stop turning into a Honkai Beast for a portion of the time.” Cecilia looked at the screen, sighed, and smoothed her hair as she spoke.

"So, is that why I rarely see him?" Kiana asked, feeling both confused and sad.

In that bygone era, she didn't know who to hate.

Otto didn't exist in her world; only Grandma Karen existed. This was something she knew from the beginning.

Celine? But that's difficult.

Celine didn't speak, her golden eyes fixed on the screen, awaiting her gaze.

In reality, she didn't die, so naturally she wouldn't know.

If...my character in the game really died, who would kill me? My mother? ...Or Siegfried?

For Celine, the line between the game and reality is extremely thin. She can accept her own death, but she doesn't want it to be her mother Cecilia who killed her.

That...wouldn't I feel strange too? Sirin gritted her teeth, awaiting her fate.

Mei stared blankly at the fleeting figure on the screen. Was that herself?

But... it doesn't quite seem like it. She's wearing a white coat and glasses, and looks very quiet and artistic. When Kevin saw her, did he hesitate and feel sad?

"Is that...me?" Mei pointed to Mei in the picture and asked uncertainly.

"How could that be? Mei wasn't even born back then!" Kiana answered first. Although she felt it looked very similar when she saw it, Kiana naturally wouldn't accept that another man was eyeing her Mei.

“Indeed, it can’t be yours. Her name is… Mei, and she was the leader of the previous human civilization,” Luo Mo said slowly.

"So, that Kevin... is he from a previous civilization?" Cecilia asked curiously, her fingers interlacing.

"As mentioned in the main storyline, they are all from a previous civilization, and Kevin is still alive today."

Luo Mo replied, "Mei is her lover, a couple who met and fell in love during the apocalypse."

“Then she must be very important to him. Even his eyes, which were as cold as a stagnant pool, would change when he thought of Mei,” Cecilia asked. It was the first time she had learned that there might still be warriors from the previous civilization on the battlefield, and that such a cold man would feel warmth when he thought of Mei.

“Of course, to him, she is everything, all of everything.” Luo Mo glanced back at Kiana, who was weeping over her father's moving story.
