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

"What? You didn't deliver the final blow? Did you have the heart to do it?"

Her light, casual words carried a hint of anticipation, as if she were watching a good show.

Kiana paid little attention to Benares, who had collapsed weakly, but showed no intention of attacking him again.

"...If we are beings of the same rank, then I should be able to do the same thing."

"All along, it wasn't the Herrscher cores that were rejecting me, but rather I who were rejecting them... I was afraid of the echoes of the past, afraid of accepting the fact that I and you are one, afraid of that power that carries sins that are difficult to wash away,"

"I thought I had made up my mind, but my heart was still unconsciously running away."

"But if I can't face this, I'll never be able to defeat you, move forward, or realize her ideals. Promises, beauty, hope, companionship... I must carry them on my shoulders."

"I will face all the past I didn't want to face, those memories I sealed away, and the life intertwined with you!"

"...I will overcome these obstacles and accept my true self!"

Kiana said firmly, her eyes sparkling with starlight and moonlight. She would bear everything, she would definitely do it, and she would surely do it.

Because... she has countless people standing behind her who have supported and helped her.

She will face herself and overcome herself.

That feeling of disappointment is enough once; she won't experience it a second time!

Face yourself, bear the weight of everything? What Sirin did will also fall on her shoulders…

Kiana won't fail again. Last time, she got involved with Himeko-sensei, which became a permanent flaw in her heart... How could she accept failing this time!

[A brilliant performance, a battle of wits!]

Inside Theresa's villa, everyone's eyes sparkled with admiration, and the conversations between Kiana and Sirin were nothing short of classic.

This makes one wonder how Sirin, who never went to school, and Kiana, who skipped classes every day, quietly became great writers.

"...Actually, putting all that aside, I'm more curious about what you taught them in the Herrscher class?"

Karen flipped through the Valkyrie course schedule with a puzzled and bewildered look. The courses on it were not exactly densely packed, but they were certainly all sorts of strange and unusual.

Although she made Luo Mo responsible for half of the class's curriculum at Luo Mo's insistence, aren't these courses a bit strange?

And does it really work?

"Right, right, Grandma, I think so too. A lot of the courses have some problems! Will they really be useful?"

Theresa had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

"100 Effective Ways to Soothe a Second Personality," "How to Avoid Being Deceived by Pretty Girls," "A Thousand Ways to Comfort a Girl," "A Relaxing Environment to Relieve Personal Stress," "How Are Herrschers Trained?"...

Karen rubbed her temples as if she had a headache; they felt a throbbing pain.

She had a headache, quite suddenly.

"I just want to ask, are there really any books available on the market that accompany these books?"

Kallen closed the class schedule and chose to ignore evening self-study to enjoy Honkai Impact 3.

"Obviously not, so I hired a professional to edit it, and she was happy to do it."

Luo Mo chuckled and said that the textbooks were all custom-made.

As for the writers? Naturally, it was Alicia and the others. He had originally wanted Qianjie to fill in as the combat class teacher.

Unexpectedly, when Qianjie saw all the students that day, his face darkened.

He glared at Luo Mo a few times before choosing to go back to this place, which was even more torturous than the previous civilization.

A class full of Herrschers?

Don't you know he hates Herrschers the most?

In short, the suggestion fell through. Alicia, on the other hand, wanted to become a teacher, and based on the books she had co-authored, she was certainly capable of doing so.

However, Luo Mo still politely declined, telling her that a teacher-student relationship was not allowed.

Tsk—Alicia looked away with a hint of regret, but still insisted that she absolutely did not have such thoughts.

Chapter 165 The Speech on the Law of Emptiness (5k, Free)

Although Theresa said she still had something to say about the revision of the curriculum, she watched as her grandmother rubbed her temples, looking troubled but not saying much.

She had no choice but to give up.

However, the students took the course very seriously and expressed their approval.

Some students, such as Kiana and Bronya, even listened with great interest, seemingly quite eager to go back and try it out.

In response, Luo Mo simply stated that it was none of his business.

We are not responsible for any mistakes.

"Hehe, how interesting~ I suppose Lord Stargazer thinks so too?"

Eileen chuckled softly and turned the conversation to the stargazer beside her.

"Hmph, why are you asking me? These courses sound weird, who knows what kind of academy it is!"

"...No, don't say that! My academy isn't strange at all!"

Theresa was unhappy about this, and some people at the scene were complaining about it.

...

In the Golden Courtyard

"Different people see different scenery. That's true. Not everyone sees only bright and warm sunshine and afternoons in their lives, with kindness lingering in their ears and songs floating in the air..."

Alicia's ears twitched, and she said lightly.

"But, the real me? Suddenly I feel like Kiana and I have quite a connection!"

"Heh—then tell me, in your eyes, who is more destined for Kiana and Raiden Mei?"

Mebius sneered.

Just a few days ago, I was saying that Mei and she were destined to be together because they were both gentle girls. Now it's Kiana? Ugh, what a scumbag!

"Can't we all be destined to meet? Everyone is a lovely young girl... Perhaps you, Mebius, should be considered a little girl?"

Alicia first replied with a light laugh, but then she seemed to remember something and turned to Mebius with a mischievous grin, her words full of provocation.

"...You bastard, I'm clearly older than you!"

Mebius was somewhat annoyed and glared at the other man.

"Hmph, heroes don't ask about origins, and lolis don't ask about age—Luo Mo once said that, and I think it makes a lot of sense!" Alicia put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow.

So... is this guy talking about her figure?

Mebius, lying flat on his back, looked down at the flat ground and landed directly on the sofa, letting out a heavy sigh.

Even though she's not usually like this, she can never stay calm around Alicia.

Think about it, she was moved to tears by that video, while I just found it boring, but she was greatly affected by what the other person said.

Möbius felt that he was probably sick, incurable.

“…Gresh, don’t be alone with your brother Lomo anymore,” Aponia said gently to Gresh.

"Huh? Why? Because... he's a bad guy?"

Greta looked up with innocent eyes and asked.

“No, no, but… just remember what I said.” Aponia patted Gretsch’s head and nodded gently.

...

In the space of consciousness,

The Herrscher of the Void and Kiana walk through key scenes from her own memories, arguing about who is right and who is wrong at each turning point in her life.

Between the two of them, whose thoughts are actually what Celine's thoughts are?

In its birthplace, the place of origin known as K423,

Kiana gazed at the place where she began and said,

"In her final moments, Celine prayed for a second chance, hoping for a different beginning. And so, we were born..."

"Heh---, birth? You really know how to beautify it. It's nothing but that man's dirty crimes and selfish desires."

The Herrscher of the Void sneered, mercilessly rejecting her point of view, "Sirin is dead but still cannot find peace. Humans have taken her body, divided up her core, and turned her existence into numbers on an experimental table."

"...But some people stopped such an absurd plan. It was their choice that brought about the initial change."

Then, the voices of a little girl and a man appear. Their conversation revolves around the K423 experimental subject, and they want to take her away from the dangers of the experiment.

"Siegfried, it's him again. He lost his real daughter to save you, you imposter."

The Herrscher of the Void said sarcastically, looking at the silent Kiana with great interest.

"How ironic~ He clearly had a happy family and a blissful life, while Sirin and you each took away the two most important people in his life."

“I feel guilty and don’t want to face this memory… but these weaknesses of mine gave you an opportunity to take advantage of me.”

Kiana's eyes held a complex mix of emotions; the image of that man's broad, kind back seemed to reappear before her, only to be consumed by flames.

"But I shouldn't, and don't want to, forget the kindness they showed me. They risked their lives to save me from my choices when I was a blank slate, allowing me to become a recognized 'human being.'"

Then, the two of them arrived at a burned battlefield, the scorched earth mixed with the smell of charcoal, and in the distance, there was still snow.

In Eastern Siberia in 2010, she awakened for the first time.

“That man refused to hand you over, even though he had already lost his own daughter… Fate was looking for you, Anti-Entropy was looking for you, and then that stormtrooper team found you,”

"You'll never forget what comes next, will you?" The Herrscher of the Void smiled coldly, seemingly mocking her foolishness.

Yes, she killed everyone, with her body.

Everyone in that stormtrooper squad, including one of Dad's arms.

The flames burned the snowfield, leaving an indelible wound in her heart that burned with constant pain.

"Do you know? That stormtrooper captain clearly had a chance to hurt me, but he hesitated when he saw you were just a kid, and as a result, he lost his last chance."

“And Siegfried… He could have killed us all with that sword, but he didn’t. He couldn’t, because he saw you as a phantom of his daughter.”
