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

Kiana scratched her head and asked, "I don't understand at all. If we want to do the same thing, why don't we do it together?"

"Kiana, how can people think the same things?" Cecilia gently patted Kiana's head and said softly.

...

Rita retrieved all the records from Sky Dome City over the past few months and compared them one by one, but she couldn't find any relevant records of that girl. Medical treatment, shopping, travel—it was as if that girl who came out of the greenhouse had mastered all the skills in an instant, hiding among ordinary people and difficult to find.

Rita wasn't disappointed. There was a huge information network in the city, and although she had 'personally' killed it, she wasn't sure if the gray snake was really dead.

But that doesn't matter; she can use that system to search for all information about K-423.

"Oh?" A smile flickered across Rita's lips. She had seen K-423's silhouette more than once during numerous battles.

She decided to wait and see to capture this Herrscher of the Void.

"So, Vice Captain, are we just going to stand here and wait for the disaster to happen?" Arvit asked over the communicator.

"...In this city, there's no patience to wait for disaster," Rita recalled with a smile.

"Wow, Rita, are you coming to catch me too?" Kiana raised her face, feigning sadness.

In Cecilia's family, Rita would come over from time to time and stay for a long time, and she was really good at taking care of people!

Even Celine was taken care of so comfortably by her that her dislike for everyone else turned to Rita with extra gentleness, which made Bella secretly learn techniques from her.

Therefore, Kiana and she have a good relationship, and this was just a small joke.

"How could that be, Kiana? We had an agreement." Rita smiled slightly, completely unperturbed.

"You agreed? Did you two talk about anything else in private?" Durandal turned around and scrutinized the two sneaky people.

"No, no, big sister, it's just that Rita and I are such good friends, I didn't expect her to come and catch me in the game. I was just joking with her." Kiana waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she knew nothing about it.

“Rita…” Durandal crossed her arms and looked at Rita with a helpless expression.

"I'm sorry, Lady Durandal, this is a secret between your sister and me."

"Speaking of which, could the appearance of the Honkai Beasts be related to the Herrscher of the Void?" Alicia asked at this moment. Judging from Rita's appearance in the video, she seemed to have concluded that the appearance of a large number of Honkai Beasts was related to Kiana.

However, aside from the later Herrschers, the birth of each Herrscher in the previous civilization was accompanied by a large number of Honkai Beasts, so it cannot be confirmed.

"What? If I hadn't summoned them, why would those ants have shown up on their own?" Sirin said arrogantly, as she had some authority to speak on this matter.

"That's true... It's surprising that Honkai Beasts are rarely seen in a place like St. Freya, which has long been proven."

Luo Mo looked at Theresa with a mocking expression. Theresa was initially puzzled, but quickly realized what he meant and became very angry.

"Can we change the subject? Stop focusing on this. You clearly bear a lot of responsibility for this, yet you show no remorse for your mistakes."

"Reflection, why should we reflect?"

Seeing Theresa about to pounce on him in a fit of anger, Luo Mo pressed her head down with one hand, letting her little legs thrash about.

Now that I have all three Stigmata, although I can't compare to a professionally trained Valkyrie in life-or-death battles, I am no less powerful in terms of pure strength, provided that the opponent does not use Honkai Beasts.

"Don't rush, Theresa, you'll soon see... how Herrschers will live without a place to accommodate them, namely your St. Freya Academy."

"What do you mean?"

Although she was surprised by the sudden increase in the other party's strength without realizing it, she was more curious about the meaning behind Luo Mo's words.

"What good can come of a Herrscher being besieged from all sides? Theresa, you don't really think... Kiana can stand against the entire Schicksal, do you?"

Luo Mo said, "Although I always mock you... no, I always praise you, it's not so easy for a Herrscher to return to humanity. Humanity alone is not enough; she needs a larger environment, an environment that can accept her."

"Because humans are social creatures. How can one person be called a human being?"

Theresa stopped what she was doing, her intelligent eyes flashing with thought. Could it be that she really would become the greatest contributor to the fight against the Honkai?

"Humanity is the first seed of hope, but non-human beings only find acceptance within a group. Theresa, I have to praise you, you're amazing!" Alicia smiled gently, sparing no words of praise.

Qianjie didn't speak, he just kept looking at the screen.

“Accepting Herrschers is an incredible thing in itself. It’s a great achievement that previous civilizations failed to accomplish. No matter the reason, it’s not an easy thing.” Sakura affirmed, holding Rin’s small hand.

She knew in her heart that the most important reason was that the first eleven Herrschers were no exception; they were enemies of humanity and civilization... But so what?

Even if it's biased, she doesn't want to face the moths chasing the flame anymore, let alone the facts.

“Aili is right, this is all thanks to you. There’s no need to be modest. You’ve earned the crown of victory.” Eden was slightly drunk. She was gently clinking glasses with Himeko, taking one sip after another. The red wine was intoxicating, and Himeko in front of her was even more intoxicating.

"Don't say that... I... I'm shy!" Theresa was quite proud when she heard the first sentence, but she felt embarrassed as she listened to the rest.

Strange, she can't be that strong, can she? She blushed as she spoke, covering her face with her hands and muttering through the gaps between her palms.

“These are all Cecilia’s wishes, and I just want to make them come true. You all, praise her.”

Cecilia smiled and shook her head, retorting, "Don't say that. I merely entrusted my naive ideals to Theresa, but it was all up to her to make them a reality."

"Yes, Principal, here I feel a gentle, warm, and human touch, a sense of belonging to home,"

Honest Fu Hua delivered the final blow, saying, "Even graduates often feel nostalgic when they talk about it, regretting that they didn't fully enjoy the happy times at St. Freya."

Simple words are the most persuasive, especially the revelation of Fu Hua's identity as the Red-Robed Immortal, which further amplified the persuasiveness.

Theresa herself could hardly believe that she could gain the recognition of so many people.

Outwardly shy, inwardly smug

That's right, even though she skips work, loves reading comics, drinks bitter melon juice, and doesn't pay back her debts, she is a good school principal!

Chapter 41 Is this the so-called Stigmata Project?

Lomo decided to let Theresa, who was beaming with pride, enjoy her happiness for a while longer.

Anyway, she doesn't have many more opportunities to smile.

In the video, the Undying Blade is lying in wait, waiting for its prey.

While waiting for the Honkai to break, the other members of the Undying Blade team also took the opportunity to resolve a Honkai energy incident.

"Wait, the red light behind the assassin..."

Rita didn't have time to ponder her doubts.

Suddenly, a young girl appeared before them—it was Kiana, whom they had been searching for.

She wandered for three months, following the broken traces, and eventually arrived in Sky City.

The girl moved elusively through the darkness, weaving between Honkai Beasts and zombies, amidst the fierce gunfire and flashes of light, her graceful figure agile and ethereal.

As the last gunshot rang out, she stood steadily amidst the wreckage of the battle.

Under the cover of night, her white hair, cascading down her back, shone like a beam of moonlight, possessing a serene beauty. Her two eyes, one gold and one blue, stood out prominently, a symbol of her mastery of some Herrscher powers.

She let out a soft breath, but her tone was no longer as blank as before; it was peaceful, calm, and confident.

"Are you going to keep hiding? Come out."

Rita's people appeared instantly, surrounding Kiana completely.

Even when surrounded by fate, Kiana remained calm, assessing the unfavorable situation.

She naturally recognized Rita. Back in the academy, she had been tested by Rita. Thinking back, it was only a few months ago, but now, everything had changed.

Kiana argued with her, and despite Rita's repeated pleas for her to return to Schicksal, arguing that it was for her own good and the good of those around her,

Kiana still gave a firm refusal, but she was no longer refusing for the sake of refusing.

Seeing that it was all in vain, Rita tried to fight Kiana and take her away by force, but Kiana was not so easy to take down now.

After a brief exchange, both sides stopped.

Kiana stared intently at Rita, her grip on her twin pistols never loosening. She would seize every ounce of her strength. She asked solemnly, "Which do you think is more important: capturing me or stopping the disaster in this city?"

“Catching you is stopping the disaster in this city.” This was Rita’s answer, and also her true thought.

Rita looked at the now-powerful Kiana and found it difficult to subdue her. With the core of the Herrscher of the Void, Kiana could easily escape.

Kiana explained that she wasn't the cause of the disaster in Sky City. Ignoring whether Rita believed her, she went on to point out the problems with Divine City Medicine and handed her the evidence. Before leaving,

She said softly, then continued, "...but I will not leave here. For me, preventing disaster is more important than running away."

"I know you don't believe my position, but the power to choose is always in your hands."

After listening, Rita fell into thought. The girl in front of her spoke with sincerity and showed an attitude of investigating, which made her unsure of the truth.

Kiana walked further and further away, as if she had already guessed what would happen today, and that this was why she had come here.

She needs destiny's help; she wants to help Sky City; she no longer wants to run from disaster.

She wanted to be a hero, no longer bound by her naive words. Her teacher had staked her life on her, and she carried her teacher's promise: she would give everything to change the disaster.

...

"Is this Kiana all grown up?" Cecilia took a deep breath, but wasn't much happy, forcing a smile. "She's such a worry for her mother!"

She ruffled Kiana's hair, her eyes filled with doting affection.

She really loves her youngest child, who keeps saying he wants to be a hero, but now it seems like that's not just talk anymore.

"Yes, Kiana's words in the video are really good. It seems she has indeed suffered a lot!"

Alicia nodded, a smile appearing on her face. The Herrscher who protected humanity made her realize that everything she had done was not in vain.

Kevin didn't speak, just watched everything; he still needed to observe.

Previously, everyone had seen Kiana as an innocent and lively person with a bright smile on her face.

But when she let her hair down, put on her trench coat, and moved through the Honkai Beasts with the precision of a warrior amidst the hail of bullets, no longer making mistakes, no one could be happy.

This means she has shed her illusions and accepted the harsh realities of life.

Watching the girl in the game, who seemed like a daughter, so clearly and meticulously advise Rita, left everyone with a bitter taste in their mouths.

The live stream was filled with comments expressing their feelings.

She's grown up and is going to be a hero, but I'm not that happy.

[Can we still call her "Bug"? Her logic is clear and well-founded. I initially thought it was Rita's scheme, but Kiana was clearly prepared.]

[Having inherited the color of the flames, her naiveté seemed to have been burned away... Here, the absence of a blade is more powerful than a blade itself, disturbing my resolve; I still need to hone my skills!]

...

After receiving Kiana's evidence, Rita investigated and discovered that it was indeed a syringe issued by Schicksal to Shencheng Medical, but the liquid inside had been modified, and instead of weakening the Honkai energy in the patient's body, it had been activated.
