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

"But your gaze... clearly wasn't on me..."

"What...is it that makes you so sad...?"

Water droplets fell on the girl's cheeks.

She lost consciousness again.

The mysterious voice and the dream gradually overlapped. The girl realized that "the man outside" and "the man in the dream" were the same person.

"...Don't be nervous. You were just having a nightmare."

"By the way... do you know who I am? If you do, try nodding."

The girl tried hard to recall the feeling of controlling her muscles, and after a few seconds, she slowly shook her head back and forth a few times.

“Very good. However, you don’t need to rush to move your limbs—they will gradually regain sensation on their own.”

"Well then—let's get back to the main topic."

"Today is May 2017... Oops, sorry. This kind of statement will only confuse you more."

"To put it another way—in short...this is the era after you have been asleep for 520 years."

The familiar voice spoke those words, and she vaguely remembered it as the figure that had fallen to the ground. The information conveyed by his words was undoubtedly enormous, and even though she was not fully conscious at the moment, she still vaguely felt a sense of horror.

Five hundred... years later?

...

"So, that means Otto hid Li Sushang for five hundred years? That's strange, how did they both manage to travel five hundred years into the future with just one move?"

The one who understood the law said thoughtfully,

"Because Li Sushang's last request was... to take her to the era in which his wish was fulfilled."

Luo Mo answered.

"But is the opponent really that strong? That Otto used it as his last trump card?"

Durandal couldn't help but ask, she was itching to fight, but unfortunately there weren't many people who could match her.

Those who were capable were unwilling, such as Xiao Shi and Alicia... She glanced at the two people beside her and sighed slightly.

"Hmm... how should I put it? Su Chang, uh, she has exceptional talent. You know, Seele, right? Su Chang is also a natural-born possessor of the Holy Mark, so her abilities are naturally not weak. She might even be able to fight against the injured old relic in the game."

The Lawbringer scratched his head, having no intention of continuing to slander the other party, and spoke in a serious and methodical manner.

However, it looks like they're going to take action against Fu Hua again. Thinking about it, she's really pitiful. Can't her disciples and grand-disciples be a little more filial?

Aside from Li Xue, it's really hard to find someone who listens to their master wholeheartedly. It just goes to show... the old-fashioned teacher's education level is really lacking. Maybe she should be replaced.

She's sure to carry forward the Great Void Gate. The character "Tai" has been worn down to become "Da" (Great), which makes perfect sense, right?

"The era of wish fulfillment... Otto, he's about to revive Kallen?!"

Alicia was startled. Even with her not-so-bright mind, she knew that resurrection was absolutely impossible. If there were any hope of resurrection, there wouldn't be so many regrets in the world.

"In a sense, it can't be considered wrong. It's just that the method of resurrection is somewhat different from your understanding?"

"Resurrected? He's really doing something that will shake the world, a great inventor of the past."

Karen gave a wry smile.

"No matter how the resurrection is accomplished, it will undoubtedly be a magnificent feat and something to look forward to."

"Möbius said casually, glancing in Karen's direction before lowering his head to avoid looking at her, a hint of surprise in his heart.

So... what exactly is going on in this world?

Mebius was a little unsure. Every time she tried to lure Karen to the lab table, something unexpected always thwarted her. She believed that if she could succeed twice, her guess would be more certain, but unfortunately... Alicia always managed to ruin things, which was infuriating.

Therefore, without a control group, she couldn't know whether Kallen was truly blessed by the world, or... whether the way she was resurrected was really as she thought.

...

More than four months later, on Friday, October 13, 2017.

Amidst the gloom of countless dark clouds, a hazy light pierced through the mist, and a few rays of sunlight broke through the layers of water vapor, sprinkling onto the dusty town.

Five hundred years ago, the town was covered inside and out with a layer of moss, as if shrouded in a dark gray mist.

The buildings, weathered by time and enveloped in a predominantly yellowish hue, exude the somber atmosphere characteristic of historical artifacts.

And coincidentally, there is also a figure from the same era five hundred years ago here—Otto Apocalypse.

He looked up at the sky and scenery, smiled, and murmured to himself.

Ah, what a gloomy yet bright day.

"I have never seen such a day in five hundred years."

After all, "in order to fool the world, you have to act like the world"—

"But most people...would not seek the sunlight through the dense clouds."

...

"It's like no normal person would look for sunshine in the clouds," the Herrscher of Knowledge muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming mischievously.
