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

In the Golden Courtyard

"The Herrscher of a Thousand is truly strange; he possesses many abilities that we have never recorded before."

Alicia glanced curiously at the doll in the video for a couple of seconds, then continued with the next part of the story, somewhat looking forward to what would happen next.

But what she didn't expect was that,

The next video was another short film.

Alicia's hand trembled instinctively. To be honest, she was a little scared; she'd tripped and fallen in the video so many times before.

"Ugh, what a wicked guy, even worse than Mebius!"

Alicia's long ears twitched slightly, a hint of resentment in them, but she still clicked on it.

I've already cried, so I probably won't cry again, right?

Although Mebius seemed to have something to say, she swallowed her words as the short video played. "Stop comparing me to others all the time, and what bad intentions does Snake have?"

She just wanted to drag them both up to the lab bench for a little research.

...

A gigantic hand, obscuring the sky and blocking out all light, surrounded Kiana with the malice of a thousand men.

Countless threads swirled in the air, forming a tangled mass; in the pitch-black theater, countless hands willingly succumbed to its power.

In the darkness, Kiana's heavy breathing could be heard; her rapid breathing seemed to be an attempt to keep her weakened body moving.

At this moment, she was barely able to hold onto her broken greatsword, facing an enemy she seemed powerless to resist.

Just like she used to be.

"Kiana—, give up struggling."

The sky suddenly brightened, as if someone had turned on the lights, but clearly, it wasn't with good intentions.

Bronya and Fu Hua were bound in mid-air by silk threads, suspended in an eerie and painful posture.

Weapon-wielding puppets surrounded the device, with enormous arms poised to strike. In the distance, a gigantic puppet seemed to be holding countless threads in its hands.

The mastermind behind everything has been revealed, but does Kiana still have the power?

With a slight movement of the puppet's hand, the sharp threads tightened abruptly, causing the two people in mid-air to cry out in pain, and making Kiana's heart sink.

An overwhelming rage surged within Kiana, who gripped her greatsword tightly, but could only watch helplessly as her companions suffered.

"Let them go!!"

She fought back, but could only struggle in an endless sea of ​​puppets; though the greatsword was sharp, it could not cut through any of the puppets.

"I have the belief, but I'm powerless to do anything!"

The puppet's voice was mocking, and the threads in its hands tightened again, causing Bronya to cry out in pain.

Their skin was cut by the silk threads, and drops of blood dripped down.

"stop!!"

Kiana was enraged by this scene, and she added even more power to her greatsword.

How...how could this be? Bronya, squad leader...stop it!!

"It's all just self-pity in the end, based on so-called sense of justice and good intentions."

The puppet continued, saying that it wanted to shatter Kiana's beliefs and turn her into one of its own.

"You can't change the evil in people's hearts."

"This ugly world cannot be changed."

Kiana continued her attack, but the puppets and threads were endless, and her companions above were extremely anxious. She used the power of fire to blast the puppets away, and her Void Spear attempted to cut the threads that were entangled with them.

"Just a little bit more, uh... just a little bit more!"

But the puppets just smiled sinisterly as they watched her perform.

As soon as Yidian finished speaking,

The puppets pinned her down, rendering her immobile; the threads bound the Void Spears that were trying to launch a sneak attack, and they disintegrated one by one.

"See? You can't even protect them."

The puppet mocked Kiana, waving its hands like a conductor.

The silk threads tore through Fu Hua and Bronya's skin, and countless drops of blood rained down from the sky.

In an attempt to shake Kiana's resolve once again, the puppet ruthlessly attacked her companions.

Kiana, crushed under countless dolls, felt a warm sensation on her hand. She watched this scene in agony, reaching out but unable to touch it.

Her companions were repeatedly persecuted right before her eyes, and she was powerless to do anything about it.

Pain, sadness, and despair intertwined in my heart.

...

"???" The Herrscher of Knowledge didn't react in time, blinking as she looked at the scene that had just been inappropriate for children.
