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

However, I'm still grateful for that textbook.

For no apparent reason, Alicia, who was not far away, received a like.

...

Although they could fight to their hearts' content, it was a difficult situation for two people who had lost their abilities and were instead weakened.

With the rise of one thing and the fall of another, facing the puppets of today again would be a difficult task.

But just as they were about to be caught in a fierce battle, a red bolt of lightning flashed across the dolls, and many of them fell to the ground.

The source is Raiden Mei, who is fighting on the other side of the theater.

Unlike the other side where she was entangled by the dolls, the result was quite the opposite; she was the one who entangled the dolls.

Having learned the relevant theories, she was confident in confronting the doll head-on. Moreover, Kiana's fate was uncertain, and she was determined to settle things with the doll.

She is the fully realized Herrscher of Thunder; her power of conquest is no less than her power of domination.

After a slight collision, it was the doll that got hurt.

Mei merely offered a sarcastic remark to the dolls' incredulous and panicked expressions—the reason being, "You're all too weak."

But the doll's subsequent actions only fueled Mei's anger.

She used the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge to conjure Kiana's voice and image, hoping that Mei would go back with her, back to St. Freya, back to those beautiful everyday moments of their past encounter.

"...I don't need to go back to the past."

"She doesn't need it!"

The crimson katana flashed, illuminating her icy gaze, silent as ice, crackling with lightning.

"drink--"

She longed to meet her, but not in a fictional past.

Raiden Mei had unwavering faith in Kiana from beginning to end; she believed that Kiana would not fall here, nor would she succumb to these dark and frustrating moments.

All she had to do was make her path to success easier.

She wielded all her power of conquest, clashing head-on with the domineering power linked to the puppet, and the entire space seemed to tremble in response.

Bronya: Mei-neechan...do you have some hidden meaning? The dolls are too weak, what about me, whose power has been stolen by them...?

Although the milk buds have stopped, the duckling raising process is not yet over!

[Going back to the past... Lightning has severed ties with the past; she doesn't need it, and neither does Kiana.]

"Wow, Mei is amazing! Unlike Bronya..."

Kiana glanced at Bronya secretly, then chuckled and nuzzled against Mei.

"Say that again and see what happens! If you say it again... Bronya... won't help you fight in the Abyss!"

Bronya was somewhat angry, but in front of Seele, she chose to maintain her composure.

Although, in actual combat, it seems she can no longer beat her opponent... How frustrating!

She and Seele frequently sparred with the other party, and Kiana's strength indeed increased very quickly, or rather, too quickly.

"Hey, I can ask Xiaoshi to help me type it. Besides, it's not that hard, is it?"

"But I helped you reach the highest difficulty last time."

"……Eh?"

...

"Mei looks so good, and her swordplay is so cool too, it's a different style from before~"

Alicia's eyes lit up when she saw Mei draw her sword; she seemed quite expectant. The aloof Mei is pretty too!

Especially the horns on his head after using his powers, I feel like touching them!

"It seems she's been through a lot since World Serpent. It's a bit of a shame she doesn't smile much anymore."

She subconsciously wiped her mouth and said softly.

"Why are you looking at me? Möbius~, you actually care about me this much? I'm so touched."

She glanced around and found Mebius staring blankly at her; he had probably seen everything that had just happened.

"Looking at you? You're just being presumptuous." Möbius snorted and turned his gaze away.

But I'm still wondering when the other person developed this habit?

...

The girl opened her sleepy eyes. Perhaps because she had been unconscious for a long time, she felt as if she had been having a very distant dream.

In her dream, there were nightmares that had faded away, as well as the warm flames she had once longed for. Those enormous phantoms that lay dormant in the shadows were the glimmering stars that would illuminate her way home at night.

But that was just a dream, and she had to face reality.
