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

Karen knew she had to try to understand these things; as the supreme leader of Schicksal, she had this responsibility.

In the fight against the Honkai, she has her own leadership style, which is neither like Otto's.

But she must figure out the origin of the collapse.

Over the course of 500 years, their understanding of the Honkai was clearly far inferior to that of the other side.

...

"He really is a madman,"

In the shadows, Mebius made her assessment, her body flickering between light and darkness.

“Indeed,” Velvi nodded in agreement, but a hint of madness flickered in her eyes as well.

—She became interested; she wanted to replicate the experiment.

She doesn't like plagiarizing other people's experiments, but now she's changed her mind.

"How could I be absent from such a great experiment?"

A flash of light also streaked across her body.

"...So, aren't you going to tell me what's going on?" Möbius said in silence.

"Ah, that's obviously because of what you just said. Alicia's signal to you was intermittent!" Velvi pulled down her hat brim, seemingly unconcerned, and leaned back slightly.

As a social terrorist, why would she care about such a trivial matter?

Damn it! Mebius cursed under his breath; Alicia had cut off their signal.

"It seems the other party is gradually becoming more familiar with controlling the Stigmata!" Velvi said with great interest.

Compared to Mebius, she did absolutely nothing!

However, she doesn't care about such trivial matters! Whoever cares loses!

"Hmph!" Mebius snorted coldly.

Chapter 82 Her ideal could save the world, but it couldn't save herself.

Meanwhile, in a corner of Changkong City, Raiden Mei arrived as expected.

As she said, Kevin, the Lord of the World Serpent, was already waiting there.

Mei was unaware that this incident would rewrite her relationship with Kiana once again.

Before opening the door, the raven exclaimed in admiration,

Not long ago, I thought she was an innocent and naive good girl, but just a few days later, her eyes were completely different.

In just two days, she had already undergone a transformation.

...

"Kevin, you said you weren't interested in Mei, but why did you secretly bring her here? This is not good, this is not good."

Alicia liked to tease Kevin, who always had an icy expression.

Perhaps because someone always liked to tease Mei, she also picked up this bad habit.

“…Sigh,” Kevin glanced at her, leaving Alicia somewhat bewildered.

“Alishia, I told you, the other person is just similar to Mei. I won’t mistake her for someone else, nor will I compare them.”

Kevin said calmly,

As for his reasons for contacting the other party, Kevin had some guesses about himself.

He remembered every promise his partners made and cherished them deeply.

Since the other party wants to see the Lawgiver of humanity in the future, he will do his best to make it happen.

Suddenly, he felt a sway in front of him.

"Oh? Kevin, stop daydreaming. Focus and see... maybe it's interesting to see yourself in another world."

Before her was Alicia's withdrawn hand, her eyes as beautiful as a painting.

"Speaking of which... as you should have seen by now, this promise can be considered fulfilled..."

Kevin thought to himself, and also, the cherry blossoms of Sakura...

...

Soon after Mei stepped through the door, a chilling aura spread through the space with the sound of her footsteps.

She instantly felt as if she had entered an ancient ice cellar, an inexplicable sense of oppression filling the air.

"Kevin Kaslana, leader of the World Serpents."

He introduced himself in this way.

Mei looked into those eyes and saw what appeared to be two empty holes.

There seemed to be a kind of sadness in that emptiness.

A sorrow that time cannot erase, a sorrow that seems impossible to heal.

"Raiden Mei, you have people you want to save, but neither destiny nor the rebellious heir can fulfill your wish."

“I promise you, the World Serpent can save that girl.”

The man's words were calm and brief, yet carried a profound weight.

Like laws engraved on ancient stone pillars, they are unalterable and inviolable.

The price, however, is "you!"—short and powerful.

But beneath that cold, expressionless face, no one suspected anything amiss.

Here, the World Serpent Lord made his promise and also set out the price.

—That was a promise that Mei couldn't resist.

But the method he proposed was...

"I will make you the Herrscher of Thunder once again."

It's astonishing, yet perfectly logical.

...

[Hey, what kind of method is this? If Mei becomes the Herrscher of Thunder again... it doesn't seem like anything will happen?]

[Here's a joke: Herrschers are enemies of humanity, apostles of Honkai.]

[Honkai Impact 3rd: You guys are truly the worst Herrschers I've ever trained! Without a doubt!]

"Uh... okay, if this is the method they've suggested, we really can't explain it explicitly," Tesla said helplessly.

From the perspective at the time, the only Herrscher on the human side in the game was the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, and Kiana was also prone to losing control. No one could guarantee what Mei would be like after becoming a Herrscher.

Therefore, it is normal for the judgment made by anti-entropy to be conservative.

Normally, if she had known about this ridiculous method, she probably would have cursed him out.

But the current situation is that you can see Herrschers even if you just wander around St. Freya, which makes her think that the other party's suggestion is a good idea.

In particular, there was one time when I couldn't refuse Himeko's invitation and went to her class to attend her physics lesson.

As soon as she stepped onto the podium, she was immediately struck by how strange the eyes of everyone in the class looked.

Some eyes held scales of black and white, others flickered with lightning, blue eyes concealed a raging storm, and golden pupils contained a diamond-shaped cross...

Looking at the roster, Kiana, Sirin, Mei, Wendy, Seele, Bronya... she was so shocked that she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She really wanted to ask Theresa, "Is this still a Valkyrie class? Is this how you teach Valkyries?"

Oh right, Kiana isn't a Herrscher anymore; she's been influenced by her impression from the game.

In short, she had forgotten how she finished that lesson; she only knew that she had answered Wendy's few questions about fluid dynamics and then left.

After that, no matter how much Himeko invited her, she would never again temporarily substitute as their class's physics teacher, and she also never mentioned their class's team-building trip to the Anti-Entropy base again.

It's normal to forget things if you have a bad memory.

The explosion itself was just a laboratory incident, but if the opposing class came, the entire Anti-Entropy base would have to sound the alarm.

I initially thought Himeko was a pretty good person—spirited and unpretentious—and with the added bonus of natural goodwill in the game, she quickly became friends with the other person.

As it turns out, the ancients were right; one cannot judge a book by its cover.

Tesla smacked his lips, looking as if he were looking back on a painful memory.

"It's strange, but under his persistent influence, I've actually started to think it might be a pretty good idea."

Tesla sighed, wondering if the Herrscher's perception of him had changed too quickly.

"That's normal. If you see different Herrschers hanging around in front of you every day, anyone would think that way."

Einstein said calmly that ever since they agreed to do the voice acting, their observation diary about the Herrscher has been far ahead of the rest, surpassing records from the previous decades, and they don't even want to copy it anymore.

...

Upon hearing Kevin's words, Mei suddenly understood everything that had happened.

Yes, the root of everything is that Kiana's body can't withstand the power of three cores. Even if the Herrscher of the Void core is difficult to remove, she can easily reduce it to one.

As for storage...aren't we containers ourselves?

Since becoming a Herrscher can save Kiana, there's nothing to hesitate about.

"Three years ago, she led me out of the darkness. Without Kiana, I wouldn't be who I am today. For her sake, I'm happy to return to that darkness."

However, she then expressed her concerns, saying she didn't want to lose control and continue hurting the other person.

"If I were to be manipulated by the Honkai again, I hope..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kevin interrupted her, stopping her from continuing her train of thought.

"That won't happen. What you should really care about is what happens after you become a Herrscher."

"You can save Kiana this time, but next time, she will still be in danger."

"She will use the power of the Herrscher of the Void again, time and time again, for those around her, for this world."

"As long as the Honkai exists, as long as Herrschers are born, she will always step forward and constantly push herself to the brink of death—"
