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

Fu Hua's gaze sharpened. She pondered, realizing that her explanation hadn't been very detailed and even contained many omissions... but what if she could extract information from the game?

Did the Book of Azure Mystery really consider that the recipient was a patient?

But it certainly wouldn't have started airing from the very beginning; Fu Hua naturally logged into her account and began the latest chapter.

"game?"

"Yes, Li Xue, it's a game that Tianming invested heavily in in collaboration with a... mysterious producer. It contains many of Tianming's secrets and things that might happen in the future."

Fu Hua paused, still managing to save face for Luo Mo; even Fu Hua found Luo Mo's actions bizarre.

But besides being mysterious, what's most notorious about them is... their inhumanity; they're notorious among both players and employees.

This was the first time Li Xue had ever seen Fu Hua with a hesitant and troubled expression. Coupled with Fu Hua's overly magical description of it, this immediately piqued Li Xue's interest in the game.

Then, the very first sentence appeared.

Judging from the protagonist's words, Fu Hua resides in her mind? Also, can one really master the Taixu Sword Qi in just a hundred days and nights? Is that true?

Fu Hua narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew how difficult it was to cultivate the Tai Xu Sword Qi; it was common to make no progress for several years.

Kiana, as the protagonist, is indeed exceptionally talented.

"This is just the initial stage, Lixue. Once you overcome your inner demons, you will definitely be able to..."

Seeing that Li Xue's expression was off, Fu Hua assumed that she was jealous of Kiana's talent and offered a few words of comfort.

"..." Cheng Lixue lowered her head, her face still pale from recovering from a serious illness. She lay half-reclined, her hands quietly folded on the blanket, her expression complex.

Master... has a new apprentice?

Could it be that he's been indifferent because he's dissatisfied with himself?

But the concerned look on his face when he woke up didn't seem fake!

Li Xue pondered her thoughts; she certainly wouldn't give up the title of her master's favorite disciple to someone else!

...

After Kiana used the power of the Herrscher of the Void to eliminate the black hole, the exhausted Kiana was once again taken back to the experimental base by Durandal.

When Durandal pressed her for details about the source of this power, Kiana angrily retorted, asking why she was siding with Otto.

"You're so strong, and you're not a bad person."

"Why should we help destiny?"

Kiana looked at her. She couldn't believe that Durandal was completely unaware of what Otto had done, yet he still aided and abetted her.

But why?

Even after only a brief time together, she could tell that the other person wasn't supposed to be that kind of person.

"If there is no destiny, who will protect the billions of people on this planet from the Honkai?"

In contrast, Durandal's answer was both calm and indifferent, her words matter-of-fact. She said:

"There is no absolute good or evil, right or wrong in this world, only mission."

"And I am only fighting for my own mission."

Even though they are about the same age, the other person doesn't seem like someone of that age at all.

"..." Kiana looked at the other person's expression and knew that the other person was not joking.

The other party's will was very firm, no less than anyone else's.

Just as they were talking, alarms blared in the base as World Serpent's mech forces invaded.

...

[This is a classic question...you can't answer this kind of trolley question correctly no matter what you do.]

[Isn't it obvious how badly he harmed Kiana? This directly led to Durandal being crowned emperor, receiving divine mandate, seizing the bishop position, and achieving even greater success.]

[Otto doesn't get the house, it's all Otto's fault! If he were even slightly normal, things wouldn't have turned out this way for the bug.]

[A mission? Is a mission really that important? Is it worth ruining the lives of several young girls who were originally happy and promising?]

Players almost unanimously favored Kiana, having witnessed her arduous journey, how she persevered despite each stumbling step.

"mission?"

"It's quite amusing to hear the words that blockhead often uses come from other people's mouths!"

The Book of Azure Mystery swayed slightly in the air, its eyes glancing at Fu Hua every now and then, as it spoke meaningfully.

In her younger days, he often talked to her about his mission and such, never thinking of his own needs.

She repeatedly hoped that the other party could put aside some things and take on a disciple to ease their mind, but the other party always put it out of their mind.

"I haven't asked yet, Master, who...who is it?"

Cheng Lixue asked curiously. She had been curious about the little creature that had been floating around all morning; she had never seen this little guy before, not even when she was with her master.

"It? It was a gift from a good friend years ago, and it's only been restored now," Fu Hua said.

"Oh~"

There was no threat, Li Xue concluded.

...

"If it were Durandal, she would definitely do that."

Cecilia paused for a moment, then stared at Durandal's words on the screen.

"Huh? Is my sister really that old-fashioned? Why would she help that despicable man?"

Initially thinking it was a script error, Durandal was completely unaware. Sirin, who would next join forces with Kiana to fight Otto after being persuaded by Kiana's words, frowned.

This seems different from the anime she watches!

It's okay if you can't win, but shouldn't the protagonist be able to unite all forces? Including the enemy if necessary.

"...It is precisely because Durandal is not pedantic that she sees clearly that in this world, only destiny can protect the vast majority of people,"

“Celine, don’t be misled by the game. In reality, there aren’t just a few Valkyries. Besides, the people of Schicksal obey the Archbishop of Schicksal, and judging from that man’s deeds, his control over Schicksal is much greater than that of Archbishop Kallen,” Cecilia said.

"I wouldn't understand even if you told me... Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely punch Otto in the face." Sirin pouted and complained.

Or perhaps in her view, she never considered the game as reality; she just wanted to have fun.

"More importantly, he actually launched a missile at you, Mom. Who can tolerate that?" Xilin whispered.

Cecilia smiled indulgently, hooked Sirin's nose, and admired her smooth skin, which made Sirin close her eyes coquettishly.

"Mother--"

Durandal, as a Valkyrie, has always been the most qualified.

She has never worried about this.

Her only worry was whether she would be deceived by someone with a deep and calculating mind...

But Cecilia realized she'd been tricked in the game too; she'd been too naive back then.

Then he started teasing Celine again.

As for Bella? Hmm, she's here, let's tease her together!

...

The arrival of the World Serpent Army was unexpected by everyone.

Although the World Serpents had tracked Durandal's movements earlier, no one expected them to storm the base so quickly and directly.

But Kiana in the game obviously wouldn't overlook such a good opportunity.

While Durandal went to fight the mechs and save the base, Kiana naturally slipped away.

She would never actually be thinking of defeating her opponent before running away!

In cities on the earth's surface

As Kiana endured her injuries and fled, observing the movements of the surrounding enemies, a figure caught her attention.

Even from thousands of meters away, the other person seemed to sense the gaze and looked up.

That was a face Kiana recognized: white hair, blue eyes, and a warrior-like resolve... Kevin Kaslana.

The figure she saw in Fu Hua's dream

Kiana's gaze met briefly before she turned and ran.

But just when she thought it was all a coincidence, the figure in front of her shattered her hopes.

Before she knew it, he was already standing in front of her, and Kiana was completely unable to move, even her trembling had stopped.

His gaze was profound, as if it could awaken the fear etched deep within the human gene pool.

The man remained silent in response to Kiana's astonishment; Kiana only felt a scorching heat surge through her chest.

The greatsword, blazing with flames, pointed straight at his heart; he didn't hesitate for a moment—

Then, it pierced the girl's chest.

Just when everyone was on tenterhooks and worried about Kiana, the scene suddenly changed.

Crimson gold and ethereal feathers fell from the sky, and Fu Hua, whom Kiana hadn't seen for a long time, appeared before her.

She looked at her former comrade-in-arms with a sense of formidable danger. She was focused on Kevin, paying no attention to Kiana behind her.

Kiana gasped for breath, her eyes still filled with shock. She was certain that the man had intended to kill her, and those cold, indifferent eyes were etched deeply into her mind.

Without turning around, Fu Hua spoke to Kiana.

"Kiana, run! Don't look back!"

"Do you remember our promise in Sky City? You promised me."

"If you die here, your promise to change the world will be nothing but empty words."

"But..." Kiana didn't doubt Fu Hua's words, and she knew the danger of staying here.

But how could she endure all of this?

But the girl lowered her eyes, clenched her fists, and pressed her head down, so no one could see what expression was on her face. She chose to turn and run away.
