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

A pair of very long ears twitched. Whether they were donkey ears or rabbit ears, he wouldn't comment for the time being, although the blond bishop insisted they were fox ears...

Xia watched the steam rising from the teacup quietly and said softly.

In her view, that mutual longing was nothing but a defilement.

"There's no need," was her answer.

"...What about Yingjie?

"She's very capable, so what?"

Xia silently gazed at him through the mist, her unsmiling eyes giving Luo Mo the upper hand.

"Speaking of which...that time...the incident..."

"I didn't mean to hide under the moon..." Xia said subconsciously, her ears twitching.

Chapter 170 The Herrscher of Knowledge Gets Deceived

Inside the Plague Gem, in the space of consciousness, Kiana and Himeko, teacher and student, bid a heartfelt farewell, despite their reluctance and deep sense of loss.

But she also had to move forward.

Her friends were still waiting for her.

The rumbling sound heard outside was clearly not unfounded.

Meanwhile, fierce battles were also taking place in the outside theater.

Just as Himeko-sensei said, we should trust Kiana's companions... and they are indeed actively searching for a way to rescue Kiana.

After discovering Kiana's disappearance, the Anti-Entropy team naturally didn't sit idly by.

Based on their previous speculations, they quickly deduced that the Herrscher of Domination might not have disappeared, but rather was lurking in the shadows, observing their every word and action.

After confirming that the doll was still alive, he quickly led a team to rescue Kiana.

This time, although they were ambushed by the puppets and were at a disadvantage, they also made progress in the core. Now... they can actively enter the theater of domination.

On the other side, Mei also immediately prepared to rush back into the Domination Theater. The more she thought about her last experience, the stranger it seemed. Was the doll too negative? There was a feeling of wanting to avoid it at all costs...

What she called a threat at the time now seems more like a way to get rid of her and cover up some truth.

The words of the jackal in World Serpent also confirmed her idea once again: the essence of the Herrscher of Domination usurping power is like a tug-of-war, a contest between forces... and this method is very effective for those half-baked Herrschers, but it has the risk of failure for the fully-fledged Raiden Mei.

After learning this, Mei felt a little more at ease.

This time, she will infiltrate the network of a thousand Herrschers in reverse, acting as a blade to cut away all the thorns for Kiana.

Bronya: ...Who are you calling a liar! Who are you calling a liar? A half-baked Herrscher? You're the half-baked Herrscher!

Sigh~, after crying, it's time to vent my anger by hitting the doll. Now, I stand on the side of justice! I'm irreconcilably opposed to the doll, and I'll fight for all the good things in the world!

[Tears welling up, Mei... Mei is actually going to stand up?]

"Hehe—, it's finally Mei's turn to appear. Shall we officially battle Kiana?"

Himeko made a fist with her hand, covering her mouth with her hand as she chuckled softly.

It has to be said that Mei's presence has become increasingly less noticeable since the release of Elegy of the Sinner.

Regardless, Bronya was involved in Fu Hua's situation, and as for Mei... well...

Kiana also cast a mocking glance at Bronya. It has to be said that the reference to those half-baked Herrschers that the Jackal mentioned was far too obvious.

Regardless of the circumstances, Bronya, who has already failed, is undoubtedly the one whose identity has been confirmed.

"Idiot Kiana, the doll's target is you. Aren't you just that so-called half-baked Herrscher too? What's there to be happy about?"

Bronya turned her head, a hint of embarrassment on her pretty face, but she quickly said stubbornly.

Are they feeding ducks again?

Who exactly is leading the suckling ducks?

What did I do wrong? All I did was take over the core of the Herrscher of Reason, right?

"Me? I didn't want to be a Herrscher, and besides, there's someone interfering with me... But you're different. Why didn't you become a fully-fledged Herrscher?"

Kiana, hands on her hips, said proudly, "Hehe, my Mei is still the best!"

"Uh...yes, Mei-neechan is very amazing, but Kiana, you..."

"Wait a minute—now that I think about it, was I tricked by an old-fashioned person back then?"

The one who knew the law seemed to have just realized it, and for a moment he stomped his foot in anger, then belatedly said.
