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

...

Then, Kiana said that she felt a bit bored staying in the ward and wanted to go out and see what was going on, after all, she was always so lively and couldn't stay still!

She wanted to see what the city where the two of them first met looked like now.

Perhaps it was fate's guidance, but during their subsequent wanderings, they encountered Benares, the heavily wounded dragon lying listlessly on the ground.

Kiana sensed its call and instinctively moved closer, gently touching her wound.

Benares did not resist, allowing the other to caress him, and his wounds gradually healed.

The dragon struggled to get up, but Mei's wary gaze watched as...

It simply lowered its head and obediently nestled in front of the two of them, showing no hostility whatsoever.

Kiana also felt a sense of familiarity with it.

So, they brought it back to the Anti-Entropy base...

"Ha, first a cybernetic cyborg, then a refugee little girl, and now a Judgment-class Honkai Beast... I bet next time they'll just bring a World Serpent executive to throw a party?"

Tesla ruthlessly complained, feeling helpless about Mei's tendency to bring people back every time.

Does this person have some kind of special buff? They always seem to attract random people.

Of course, her predictions were also quite accurate.

...

[A spot-on critique, no wonder he's Dr. Tesla; even bringing back a dragon, he can make something so outrageous, and, importantly, it's surprisingly accurate? It makes a lot of sense.]

【Green Xilin Green】

[World Serpent Executive? Raven: Are you calling me?]

"Dr. Tesla—if this continues, your reputation as a 'comedian' will be firmly established."

Einstein's lips curled into a smile, but he quickly pretended to be nonchalant and said...

"...What's going on? What does this have to do with me? It's clearly the person who wrote the script who has a problem with their brain,"

Tesla angrily retorted, "They always put me in such an awkward position. Am I just some kind of 'complaint officer'? Damn it."

"Hehe, doesn't this just prove how indispensable you are, Dr. Tesla? You always manage to grab everyone's attention."

Einstein, looking completely at ease, remarked as if what he said did indeed make some sense.

Of course, all he got in return was a cold stare from Tesla.

"Stop talking about that, you messy-haired guy, come do the experiment with me, this plot is making me so uncomfortable..."

Einstein was slightly exasperated. Are you upset? But I'm happy.

But she didn't refuse. After all, the experiment still had to be done. At worst, she could just go back and check it again.

...

"Bella? You'll betray me too?"

Clearly, everyone was watching Benares and Kiana's intimate interactions.

Celine was one of them, and also the most annoyed and confused.

"Bella? Is there anything else you want to say?"

Celine's eyes were somewhat vacant as she looked at Bella, who was eager to explain herself, and a dangerous smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Damn it, why did Bella betray me?

Xilin crossed her arms and glared at the wronged Bella, who had her arms wrapped around her head, deliberately keeping her horns apart, looking pitiful.

"Alright, Sirin~ stop making things difficult for Bella."

Cecilia stepped in as a peacemaker, trying to calm them down.

Xilin is still so impulsive.

"But, but," Celine pursed her lips. She only had so many people in her world, and Bella was one she always cared about.

She always believed that the other person was loyal only to her, never expecting that she had already been flirting with her own sister...

This shocked Celine's sensitive heart.

“Your Majesty, believe me, I didn’t have such thoughts.” Bella tried her best to explain, but it didn’t seem to extinguish the unspeakable feeling of betrayal that Celine had.

"Ahem—" Cecilia coughed twice, as if she had remembered something.

“Actually, Sirin, think about it. According to the game's setting, isn't Kiana in the same body as you? Maybe Bella just mistook her for someone else.”

Celine was taken aback, and Bella nodded vigorously.

Although she knew she couldn't possibly mistake Her Majesty the Queen, she just needed to make sure she didn't lose herself now!

"...Okay. I forgive you, Bella."

Celine snorted and turned her head to the side, clearly embarrassed by her confusion between reality and the game—she was still too concerned about Bella and had never thought about what would happen to her after she left.

"Hehehe, Your Majesty."

Bella showed no displeasure and moved closer to Celine, saying things that were difficult to understand.

Sorry, the Queen looks so good too!

...

At the Anti-Entropy base, Mei had a video conversation with Einstein.

Regarding Kiana's current physical condition, Anti-Entropy helplessly stated that they were unable to solve the fundamental problem; they couldn't even think of a way to suppress Kiana's physical limitations.

Even...we should prepare for the worst-case scenario.

Seeing Einstein's helpless expression, Mei anxiously asked her what her most pessimistic plan was.

Einstein remained silent, looking at Mei with sadness in her eyes. Mei seemed to understand as well—after all, what could be more pessimistic?

Mei went for a walk, while Anti-Entropy and the others chatted face-to-face with Kiana.

Upon learning that Mei was not there, Kiana sighed, and in an instant, she seemed like a different person. The smile that had always graced her face seemed to have vanished.

"My situation is very bad, isn't it?... " Kiana immediately made the announcement.

Tesla looked at the other person in surprise; this was completely different from the information they had obtained from Mei.

"At first, I just felt a little sluggish, but gradually I couldn't feel the pain anymore. Now I keep getting inexplicable injuries all over my body... I don't know where they come from."

Einstein interrupted her, saying they should return immediately; reverse entropy could get them to safety.

Kiana then spoke of another matter she needed to attend to: the soaring water levels and the proliferation of collapse in Changkong City undoubtedly foreshadowed an impending storm.

Einstein stated that they would find a solution to the entropy problem, and that she just needed to rest.

"No, I have a way—I can absorb all the Honkai energy of Changkong City into my body before the disaster occurs, and use the power of the Herrscher of the Void."

Kiana said solemnly,

Kiana understood the suggestion to reverse entropy, but said she wouldn't do it directly; however, she would do it as a precaution.

He asked the other party to find a secluded place away from everyone after he finished, precisely because he knew the friendship between him and them.

Therefore, Kiana, who knows she is a ticking time bomb, will not allow herself to be hurt again.

“Mei…she finally emerged from the shadows and gained the friendship and friends she longed for…but I, I destroyed it all with my own hands.”

She knew that even if she became that kind of 'monster,' countless people would still come to save her.

But then, how many people who care about her will she hurt?

She slowly leaned back against the wall.

“This is between Celine and me, but I don’t want them to get involved in all of this anymore,”

"...I don't want to see anyone around me get hurt again."

Separated by only a wall, it seemed to isolate their worlds.

Quite by chance, Mei happened to be on the other side of the wall, quietly listening to Kiana's soliloquy.

A tear rolled down her cheek, glistening and clear, as if it had been cried from the depths of her heart.

She listened quietly, but her heart was weeping.

Who is secretly grieving in the corner, and who is putting on a smile in front of their companions?

How ironic is fate! She didn't want the most important person to get hurt, but it was precisely she who hurt the most important person.

...

[What masterful swordsmanship!! I've seen love that's mutual, but a swordplay that's mutual is truly eye-opening. Damn screenwriter, I don't want to cry anymore!]

Kiana...why do you always charge forward? Answer: Because I inherited the Will of Fire.

But who's right and who's wrong? Kiana doesn't want to hurt anyone anymore, and Mei doesn't want her to hurt herself anymore. It seems it's all the screenwriter's fault! ?X?X?X

"Waaah, Eden," Alicia touched the corner of her eye, a tear falling silently without her noticing.

Perhaps it was when Kiana was preparing to shoulder all of this alone, or perhaps it was when she saw Mei's tears.

This kind of friendship between girls really touched her.

The two clearly cared so much for each other and always considered each other's needs, yet in the end, they still found themselves facing a tragic future.

And Mei even had to pretend she knew nothing about it.

Damn it, can't you be nicer to Mei? That bastard!

"Yes, she could only watch as Kiana once again plunged into the flames, like a moth knowing its fate, dying and being reborn in the fire."

Eden said with a sigh, "Fate has already written a new chapter for the future, but Mei won't let the past be rewritten."

"Trust Mei. She won't let her go down that same path again. She'll be prepared to make sure the future doesn't repeat the same mistakes."

Aponia leaned in and said gently.

Clearly, Alicia is the most beloved member of the Thirteen Heroes, and the thirteen always revolve around her.

"Well, this is the other side's special chapter, it can't be too bad, you pink fat woman!" Möbius frowned, and after a long while said...

"Oh?" Alicia raised her head from Eden, her face no longer wet with tears.
