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

"Then why..." Mei couldn't help but ask, deciding to carry out what was clearly the worst plan.

"The good or bad of a plan is relative; they believe that the Stigmata Project is a plan that can definitely defeat the Honkai."

"But does defeating the Honkai justify wantonly harming the people?"

Theresa couldn't understand it. From childhood, her grandmother's admonition had always been to be the shield of the people; she had given this advice to every Valkyrie who stepped onto the battlefield.

But now, it seems that the ancestors of the Kaslana family are taking the lead in doing this.

She couldn't quite understand.

"However, without defeating the Honkai, humanity has no hope either," Möbius said meaningfully.

"We... are at war with the Honkai, not in a symbiotic relationship. Only one of us can survive."

“Unless…all the Herrschers are on our side.” Luo Mo disagreed with her, taking over the conversation with a light, calm expression.

"Huh? All Herrschers? Are you kidding me? Even if it were all Herrschers..." Mebius stopped talking, his brows furrowing.

Whenever Herrschers are mentioned, the final boss is always subconsciously overlooked, because those who have seen the End will have doubts in their minds—is the guy in front of them really a Herrscher? Can it really be classified as a Herrscher?

So, does everything Luo Mo said at this moment... include the end?

"Why did you stop? Um, Doctor, please continue," Theresa asked anxiously.

The person in front of me, Mebius, looked quite young, but since I needed his help, I should address him as "Doctor."

Finally, she saw someone who also never grew up! And someone whose appearance was different from her own. Theresa's anxious heart could still think of such a thing.

"No, it's nothing. We'll talk about it if we can do it." Möbius didn't continue to be stubborn. He gave Luo Mo a deep look and stopped discussing the topic.

"All the Herrschers?" Kiana counted on her fingers. Although she didn't know about some of them yet, there were quite a few around her: Mei, Bronya's trainee, Wendy, Seele, and her second sister...

Surely it's impossible for them all to be by my side? If there's even one left of destiny, wouldn't that mean I'm almost halfway there?

She put her hands on her hips and smiled slightly, saying, "It doesn't look that difficult!"

Mebius was speechless for a moment, unable to speak for a long time. She decided not to take the child in front of her seriously for the time being.

The Lawyer and other Lawyers are not important.

As long as we succeed in the end, everything will be fine.

...

Upon hearing news of Kevin again, Fu Hua did not show any joy at knowing that her comrade existed. Instead, she wanted to urge Kiana to run away quickly so that Kevin would not find her.

"But, squad leader, run away? Where can I run to?"

Kiana gave a self-deprecating laugh, her tone filled with regret. She looked at Fu Hua in front of her and said, "No matter where I ran, no matter how many times I ran, even if I curled up in a corner, did I escape?"

Her eyes lowered, then rose again resolutely, and she said earnestly:

"Squad leader... I don't want to look back in the future and find that every choice I made was an act of running away."

Seeing this, Fu Hua had no choice but to agree, and after the conversation, they left.

After they left, a pair of eyes opened. Rita, who had been lying down, had somehow already woken up and overheard the conversation, but she didn't understand why Kiana was talking to herself.

The incident was so bizarre that Rita found it incomprehensible.

The Herrscher, whose mission is destruction, seems to be doing something to save humanity; she, as the prey, kindly saves the hunter.

She reconnected with the Undying Blade squad, determined to investigate the matter of Divine City Medicine first.

Fu Hua intended to advise Kiana to be cautious and to make a plan before venturing to the wary World Serpent to gather information, but Kiana instead told Fu Hua about her plan...

After listening, Fu Hua looked at Kiana with a complicated expression, and finally sighed and agreed to the request.

As soon as Kiana arrived, she was unsurprisingly surrounded and attacked by Raven and his team.

Alone, her situation seemed to become dangerous again.

Using the effects of serum gas on Honkai energy, Raven easily defeated Kiana and found an opportunity to inject the concentrated gas into Kiana's body, causing her to fall into a coma.

...

"Kiana is still so careless. You should be more careful next time, little Kiana."

Cecilia, watching Kiana intently as she battled, couldn't resist pulling her into her arms and playfully rubbing the insect's head, causing Kiana to shake her head repeatedly, trying to break free.

As Cecilia watched her youngest daughter grow more and more mature, she worried that one day she would lose her.

She's still young, she doesn't know anything... Similar reasons flashed through my mind, but none of them could convince me.

But looking into Kiana's determined eyes, she realized that the Kiana in the game had grown up.

Growing up isn't about growing up over time; it often happens after an event... You suddenly understand what responsibility is, what you want to do, and what you should do.

Growth is both fast and slow.

In just three months, she transformed from a student into a warrior of the Kaslana family.

After Himeko's death, Kiana began to grow, but the price was far too high.

Three months can complete the process of growth, but a lifetime can never forget that scar.

"No way! I clearly have a plan in the game, I'm sure I'll win!" Kiana said competitively.

Even without a plan, she's the main character, so how could she possibly fail?

Hmm... Aunt Himeko's story doesn't count!

"Kiana's words are so true, so philosophical! I don't want to find out that every choice I made was an escape when I look back,"

Alicia smiled and praised her directly, "Kiana, for you to say something like that, it seems your grades are pretty good too!"

"Uh...ah, yes, that's right, of course I'm very powerful!" Kiana couldn't admit defeat after hearing this, so she could only force herself to keep up the act.

That's right, I think my own results are pretty good, it's just that others aren't very satisfied.

Theresa and Himeko felt a wave of dizziness. As Kiana's teacher, her humanities grades... well, let's not even go there. All we can say is that she didn't submit a blank paper.

Mei is silent, always running away... Is she talking about herself?

If that's how you want to think, then so be it. I don't mind...

But I didn't run away again.

But you still don't come to see me, do you?

...

Raven, haunted by the Herrscher, wanted to eliminate Kiana immediately.

But obviously, the jackal wouldn't allow this to happen; she couldn't possibly let go of such an excellent experimental subject.

Finally, Kiana was taken into the laboratory.

Rita witnessed everything in secret, but she hasn't recovered yet.

Kiana failed so quickly; she was still waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

But she didn't bet everything on waiting. What if reinforcements only arrived after the disaster had already occurred?

After resting, she once again infiltrated the industrial area, cautiously moving to its deepest point. As she was reviewing documents, a gleaming knife was held against her neck.

Her help arrived, even if... it came from the enemy.

"Where is Kiana?" Raiden Mei asked coldly, gripping her sword.

She had been searching for Kiana for a long time, without finding any trace of her in the entire city, until now, when she had cracked Rita's communications.

Rita wasn't in a hurry. She proposed that they work together to find the antidote for the serum, and she would tell Mei and Kiana whereabouts when they found out.

Upon receiving the news, Mei immediately headed to her destination, where a violent tremor was reported.

Kiana suffered greatly during the experiments, being used as a test subject by the jackal and subjected to all sorts of cruel treatment.

She simply scolded them wearily, asking why they did this... and how they managed to do all this? What exactly was the Stigmata Project trying to achieve?

The jackal was getting impatient. She said that a mere experimental subject didn't need to know so much. Instead, she should think about how to get through the pain ahead.

Suddenly, Kiana smiled, the pain on her face vanishing in an instant, as if mocking a clumsy comedy.

She had lost patience in trying to extract even the smallest bit of information.

She swung her fists, smashing the glass that bound her, defeating the enemies outside, and just as she prepared to face new ones...

Behind him were the figures of his former comrades.

"Mei?" Kiana had imagined a million scenarios for reuniting with Raiden Mei, but she never imagined it would be here, right now.

There was no surprise in her eyes, only panic.

...

"How ironic that humans are harming their own kind, while the Herrschers are thinking of desperately saving them."

Qian Jie watched this scene intently, his eyes filled with disgust. "Humans... they really are unchanging beings. They are better at dealing with humans than with disasters."

"The death toll in the entire city... how could they dare to do that?"

Theresa watched the scene with gritted teeth.

Although her niece had learned to use the ruse of feigning distress to extract information from others, she felt no joy whatsoever.

Kiana's fainting from pain during the experiment, and the way she avoided Mei's gaze, are hard not to feel sorry for her.

"But not all people are like that; there will always be shining examples who step forward and make people believe in light and goodness again."

Alicia still held onto hope, saying, "That's how humans are, with good and evil running through their lives, which makes them believe in the future and hope."

"So, Kiana, why did you run away when you saw me?" Mei looked at herself on the screen, feeling the same way.

She tugged at Kiana's ear, smiling sweetly, and said, "You can't let it turn out like that, you're always the one who pounces on me first."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Mei, stop pulling! I won't do that!"

Kiana winced in pain, covering her ear and saying, "We'll talk about the future later. Let's give Ya a piece of our mind first."

Moreover, to be honest, she felt she hadn't done anything wrong, and how could she let Mei see her serious injuries?

Besides, the crisis of saving a city is not small, and she was afraid that Mei would get hurt or was worried about it.

"Hmph! You," Mei released her grip, crossed her arms, and glared at her irritably.

Doesn't she know Kiana well enough? If it were just a minor injury or a scratch, she would definitely cry and beg me to take a look, and then take the opportunity to hang herself on and take advantage of the situation.
