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

As for the handle? Bronya quickly noticed that the one in her hand, like smoke meeting the sun, slowly dissipated and blurred; clearly, it was the other party's doing.

But Bronya had no idea when it happened.

With the Herrscher of Knowledge in control, this level went very smoothly, the sounds of deflecting sword energy ringing out perfectly.

She looked conflicted; it seemed like neither betting on which side would result in a win for her...

...

When Kiana and the Herrscher of Knowledge finally met and unleashed their combined power in a single punch, the result was still a crushing defeat.

Kiana was no match for them and was knocked off the ground.

The two fought their way from the stone platform into the air, and then from the stone chain to the ground. The battle was fierce, but the one who understood the law generally had the upper hand.

Kiana gritted her teeth and got up from the ground again and again, touching her scars and facing her opponent once more.

However, her opponent's strength, Honkai energy, combat experience, and ability to use powers made it almost impossible for her to defend herself. She could only grit her teeth and endure wave after wave of attacks.

The sword, spear, and chain switch freely in the opponent's hands, and the moves are unpredictable and hard to fathom.

"She's about to die... Why, why protect a... piece of trash?"

Her moves became increasingly ferocious, yet she still couldn't understand why Kiana wouldn't accept her.

...

"The Herrscher of Knowledge and the Crimson Kite Sage? Such strong combat reflexes, I should work harder too."

Durandal glanced at the battle situation and judged—in reality, her sister would undoubtedly lose, but she was the protagonist, and even if she lost, nothing should happen to her—as Rita had told her.

With the immortal's physical prowess and combat experience, combined with the Herrscher core, even she wouldn't dare say she's guaranteed a victory.

Just like at the beginning, the opponent directly fought him, which shows how strong he is.

"Perhaps... I could spar with them? I still feel quite unfamiliar with this new power, and I can't seem to unleash its full potential..."

Yulan Delton lowered the dumbbells she was holding, somewhat troubled by her recent progress, and thought to herself.

Her strength had almost stopped increasing, something she had never encountered before, and she was somewhat irritated.

...

On Mount Taixu, desolate and chaotic sword tombs stand in rows, with broken purple crystal lotuses scattered all over the ground.

The spear thrust straight at his chest, but a feather appeared out of thin air to absorb the force; the broken halberd swept across and cleaved down from mid-air, and he fell backward, a strong wind rushing towards him.

The spear pointed straight at them, creating a perilous situation, but all of this was resolved by the wisp of feather dust.

"There's not much I can do to help you, Kiana. Seize the opportunity."

Fu Hua's weak voice came from the Feather of Dust. Kiana didn't know how much longer this shaky feather could protect her.

The Herald of Knowledge launched a fierce and sharp attack, angrily brandishing her weapon to vent her dissatisfaction.

"That's it for now."

"Damn it, how is this possible? How could it have gotten like this! Can't you two just listen to me?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge fully unleashed her Herrscher powers, Honkai energy overflowing all around her, her eyes bloodshot as she glared angrily at Kiana before her.

Even though Kiana had fully unleashed her Herrscher of the Void powers, she could only teleport and dodge in the face of the Herrscher of Knowledge at full power.

Smoke and dust filled every place where the battle was taking place, and the tattered crystal lotuses scattered everywhere.

A hundred weapons, a thousand forces, both blades drawn, cleaving straight at the head;

A torrential downpour of swords rained down, but he instantly rose up, darting back to avoid danger, his movements as powerful as thunder and lightning, piercing straight into the sky.

"Damn it, damn it, you bunch of idiots, morons! Why are you blocking my way? Why are you helping that good-for-nothing? Why!"

She gritted her teeth and said bitterly.

"You are all...you are all losers!"

She decided to end this tedious battle. Holding her breath, she unleashed countless streams of Honkai energy carrying her longsword towards her hand.

The sun, moon, and stars all changed color, and all kinds of weapons rose up.

The sky was filled with violent Honkai energy, seemingly announcing the arrival of judgment to all living beings.

The energy almost materialized into a giant black phoenix, about to spread its wings and swoop down.

"This is the class monitor..." she exclaimed in surprise.

This is the Taixu Sword God. Kiana had heard the class monitor mention him before, but she never expected to see him here.

Calm. Calm. Calm.

If one loses their composure in the face of the Great Void Sword God, they will only perish, body and soul.

That was an unavoidable sword strike; even the power of the Herrscher of the Void had nowhere to hide, and the only option was to face it!

"Kiana, control your power, remember what I taught you..."

Fu Hua's phantom placed a single palm against Kiana's back, helping to regulate the energy flowing through her body.

Still water is free of dust, and a clear mirror reflects the vast emptiness.

The pinnacle of the Void Sword Qi is its divine essence. Divine essence is the ultimate transformation, encompassing all things and defying description; it cannot be quantified or questioned, and can only be used by those whose minds are as clear as a mirror.

At this time, although Kiana had not yet fully mastered it, the Herrscher of Knowledge was not without its own secrets.

The same technique was used to create a golden light sword, pointing directly at the Herrscher of Consciousness in the sky.

Upon learning that Kiana could also wield the Void Sword God, the Herrscher of Knowledge's pupils widened in astonishment and disbelief, unable to comprehend what she was seeing.

"How is this possible? How could I possibly lose to this guy!"

"The squad leader is never a loser!"

Both sides delivered their declarations and forcefully waved their hands forward.

The two waves of Void Sword Qi clashed directly, one golden and one black, with countless bursts of Honkai energy raging in between, the resulting shockwaves sending up countless fragments of rock.

This scene is nothing short of cataclysmic.

Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was simply good timing, but in the aftermath of that explosion, Kiana emerged victorious.

"Thank you, Kiana. I'll take care of the Herrscher. The illusion is about to end, you can go back now."

The wisps of flame symbolizing the seal gradually faded from the black feathers. This time, Hua did not look back.

An indescribable flutter welled up in Kiana's heart, and she felt her heart skip a beat.

"This time, it's probably goodbye forever."

Farewell? Farewell... Farewell!

This can't be happening, it can't be happening! Class Monitor Fu Hua, no, it should be called the Crimson Phoenix Immortal, fifty thousand years couldn't stop her progress!

How did I end up here—saying goodbye?

Kiana couldn't accept this. She couldn't accept that all her efforts had failed to win back the class president. But things don't always go as planned.

The joy of victory vanished before it could be shared, leaving only fear. Kiana tried to stop them, her voice trembling with difficulty.

"Wait a minute, squad leader, there must be other ways!"

"Perhaps...but this is my mission."

Fu Hua glanced at her, her eyes seeming to hold a hint of longing, yet also a sense of helplessness.

Mission? Mission... She had said something like that to others before.

A stormy night with thunder and roar, a sinner departs with a lament.

Mei's tears at that time were still vivid in her memory, because of that sentence... because of that sentence, she had already lost someone important...

But when she heard it from someone else, she truly understood the profound sorrow and... how Mei felt at that time.

Is this really a world that can only be saved through sacrifice?

One's own mission, Mei's mission, the squad leader's mission, the mission of the fusion warrior, the mission of the Red-Robed Immortal.

Kiana had never feared death; she had long regarded sacrificing herself for her mission as the highest honor, as the redemption she was meant to fulfill, and as fulfilling the promise she had made to that red figure.

But this shouldn't be the case for the people who are truly important.

No one survives alone in this world; it is a world made up of individuals connected as nodes. One should not be so selfish as to only be responsible for one's own thoughts.

Many people have already shown concern for her, even in places unseen by others.

This is how Mei is to me; this is how the class monitor is to me.

How could we allow the other party to step onto the border of death?

The last wisp of remnant hope, the feather dust, slowly drifted into the palm of the hand. Its ethereal light, like a candle in the night, gradually dimmed, and its tattered wings scattered and fell, speechless with grief.

Countless pebbles, rusted chains, and broken swords fell, plunging the world into a deathly gray, desolate landscape. The crimson knight who fell that time could not hold onto the hand he had failed to grasp.

Pain surged in from all directions like a tidal wave, further agitating Kiana's emotions.

It seems that everything has settled down. Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Knowledge are both dead, disappearing from this Taixu Mountain. This is the end of everything.

In the game, the progress bar is not visible, leading many to believe that the game is now over.

Even Alicia and the others inside the house held their breath, watching this scene unfold with unwavering focus.

[A knife has appeared! Not only Fu Hua, but Mei has also been dragged out to enhance the knife.]

Why doesn't my queen know this trick? Tears welling up, otherwise she wouldn't keep retiring.

【Red Iris Immortal... Ugh! I can't take it anymore! I'll kill Red Iris Immortal, and tomorrow I'll poop in front of your company!】

"A mission... huh?"

Fu Hua herself didn't realize that her hands were trembling slightly.

Mission—this was definitely not an unfamiliar word to her. From the moment she arrived in this civilization, she had been constantly instilled with similar concepts.

What should you do? What should you do for? What should you strive to save?

She has always lived for these things.
