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

Always.

"Kiana, do you see? When someone says the same words to you, you'll understand what it really felt like to do what you did back then."

Mei gently tugged at Kiana's cheek and said affectionately.

The scene of the sinner's lament made her depressed for a long time. There was clearly a chance to make amends, but due to the stubbornness of both of them, only regrets were left behind.

"Ugh, stop moving, Mei, I know, I didn't do anything..."

Kiana's face was being shaped by Mei's hands, and she muttered embarrassedly.

Couldn't they have spared her some face in front of so many people? She knew she was wrong; she'd learned that from watching Mei save the city in Sky Dome last time—bearing the burden alone... Those who care about her feel so bad, a strange, indescribable feeling welling up inside them...

Alicia glanced at the two of them with envy. "Oh dear, isn't now a good time to join?"

I really want to touch Mei's face, and even better, gently touch her horn. I care about her so much!

"Besides, the class monitor is also... the class monitor?"

Kiana looked at Fu Hua with a puzzled expression, only to see that even the usually calm class monitor had lowered her gaze, her head bowed, deep in thought.

She wanted to say that the class monitor would never do that, but the other person didn't seem completely unmoved.

Therefore, the other party

"...It's alright, Kiana. At least the Herrscher of Knowledge is dealt with this way..." Fu Hua said, pursing her lips.

"You think... my presence here means I've dealt with the Herrscher?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge sighed, patted Fu Hua on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, this isn't the end... Kiana did a good job later. She unsealed you, along with me... Speaking of which, why did she have to seal me away?"

"Can't you tell I'm a good person?"

The Herald of Knowledge said somewhat dejectedly, and tried to help Fu Hua alleviate her sadness.

"...That's right, Xiaoshi, thank you."

"Why thank me? Thank her, she's the one who saved you," the Herrscher of Knowledge said impatiently.

"No, you're absolutely right about one thing. Judging from my condition in the video... if you hadn't offered your help, you wouldn't have used the word 'old-fashioned'..."

Fu Hua shook her head and looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

After she overcame her emotional turmoil, she clearly applied the principle of "one thing, another" to other situations. Since she kept expressing her anger towards that other person, it meant that the other person had also survived, and it seemed that she could only rely on that person for help.

"Uh...why are you suddenly getting all sentimental? Okay, fine, if I had to say something, you should thank me properly and promise not to lie to me."

The Lawbringer was somewhat embarrassed, his fingers unconsciously touching his face, his eyes avoiding Fu Hua's gaze.

"Yes, I wouldn't lie," Fu Hua said earnestly.

She'd think about lying, but if she didn't lie... if she were capable of lying, she wouldn't always be betrayed.

"...I hope so."

...

As the crimson feathers gradually faded into nothingness, the hem of the robes of the Herrscher of the Void fluttered even without wind.

Those blue eyes were filled with sorrow—she still hadn't recovered from the separation they had just experienced.

Suddenly, she clenched her fists, her voice trembling slightly.

"Enough...it's happening again..."

"I cannot accept the so-called victory achieved through sacrifice."

She kept her head down, and no one could see how much sorrow was in her eyes at that moment—a sorrow that mingled with memories of the past and the tragedy of the present.

Sad and somber music then began, as if mourning those who protected beauty, or perhaps praising the arrival of something beautiful.

The song was mournful and lingering.

【Lifebloomslikeaflower】

Life blossoms like a flower.

[farawayorbytheroad]

[Perhaps far away, perhaps right by the roadside]

She once made a vow under the sky where the dark clouds had burned away: she would turn this imperfect story into the way she hoped.

Is this what she hoped for?

The Herrscher of the Void unleashed her Herrscher powers, and the feathers on her hands transformed into dazzling ribbons of light.

She wanted to break through Fu Hua's so-called blockade, she wanted to fulfill her promise to take her home, and she couldn't bear the sacrifice of her comrade.

Memories spanning fifty thousand years surfaced, memories belonging to someone named Fu Hua, appearing in fleeting glimpses.

She saw the rainy night when the class monitor had always come to the city.

He reached out to Fu Hua but ultimately became the captain of the Honkai Bringers.

A desperate, all-or-nothing battle against Ganesha, culminating in a miraculous escape.

To become that bewitching green light in the Fusion Warrior Laboratory...

The pre-civilization Chinese, wandering alone in exile,

Calmly facing the fusion warriors who knew their defeat was inevitable.

The Crimson Iris Immortal, who protects the people of China through the vicissitudes of time.

Kiana tore away the curtain of those memories, which were still stained with a multicolored black, reaching out to touch the only glimmer of light before her.

After breaking through that constraint, what emerged was a dazzling, radiant white, much like the glow of hope.

Kiana raised her arm to shield some of the light and continued forward...

[Here it comes! A vibrant tapestry of black and a dazzling array of white—kudos to the art direction! Time to ride the screenwriter to work!]

Go for it, Kiana! Turn this imperfect world into the one you desire!

[The moment the song begins, a dam bursts... miHoYo is back with its sound system again! Fu Hua, the Crimson Kite Immortal... you must survive!]

"Well..."

Greta glanced at the comments on the video Pado was watching next to her, fell into deep thought, and then looked up at Luo Mo.

So, is she going to ride Luo Mo to work?

I don't quite understand...

But riding on someone else's back must be impolite... Aponia's mother seems to have mentioned this.

"Come on! Kiana, save Ahua, she's so pitiful~"

Paddy watched intently, wiping away her tears with a tissue while raising her other hand as if to encourage herself.

Cats can't bear to see such touching things, especially when it happens to one of her few harmless companions.

...

"Red Kite Immortal, I didn't lie."

Blood blossoms bloomed, dazzling as fire, and the lone warrior under the moon fell to the ground.

An absurd deception, a bishop of destiny who did not lie, and the deeply deceived Crimson Kite Immortal.

Haha, how ironic.

As the gunshot rang out, the bullet pierced Fu Hua's brain, and Kiana, as if sensing the same sensation, collapsed to the ground.

"I have experienced too much betrayal and deception."

"Class monitor, I would never lie to you."

Tears streamed down her face, the pain still echoing in her mind. Kiana struggled to her feet and made a vow through gritted teeth.

The shadows of the past faded away, replaced by a vast snowfield.

The wind and snow were fierce, and the ice and snow were like sharp blades, piercing her heart... Even the Crimson Kite Immortal had people she could not save, who were within reach.

"Lixue, this is all I can do for you."

The spear of the void pierced her thin chest, and crimson blood stained the snow. The girl whispered that even in her last moments, she couldn't forget her master.

She dedicated her life to protection, joining countless other Valkyries in protecting the person most important to her.

They lie buried in the harsh, wind-swept Siberian plains, between the Second Collapse.

"Those who trusted me were also affected by me."

Fu Hua's voice was bitter, and her understated words contained endless sorrow.

"I'm very strong, so don't worry about me being affected."

Kiana's eyes were resolute, a confident smile playing on her lips.

The girl who despaired at not being able to hold the hand of the person she loved is no more; she would never choose to let go.

She will never give up on anyone again! Never!

[I never expected that shot would remain so vivid in Fu Hua's memory. That damned blond bishop, hurry up and get your health bar up!]

[It's truly remarkable; despite her long lifespan, she faces betrayal and calamity. She excels at fighting against Honkai, but struggles against human emotions.]

[It's such a pity about Li Xue. She clearly hated that story the most, and hated waiting, yet she only received her master's gaze at the end of her life.]

"Li Xue..." Fu Hua's hand clenched unconsciously, then relaxed.

Li Xue here is still alive and well, although her body is a little weak, but she is making rapid progress in the Taixu Sword Qi.

"Yes, Li Xue was a good disciple, but she has become a permanent regret in your heart. Cherish her, the road she can accompany you on is still long..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge glanced at Fu Hua and said, her mind wandering to the Fu Hua from her original world. Did Kiana use such words to 'win over' her?

To be honest, she was somewhat moved.

Why don't you come and say those things to her?

"Oh, right, I just remembered, those guys should be recovering in the next few days," the Herrscher of Knowledge added.

"...Hmm." Fu Hua's mood was somewhat low, and her eyes showed hesitation and contemplation.

Even Ying Jiehua, who had been watching Fu Hua's experiences from the sidelines, quietly came to her side, and if needed, she would try to offer guidance.
