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

"Are you going to kill me?"

Su Luo's voice trembled slightly. She had actually witnessed the Domination Theater from the game in reality, but she wasn't Kiana or any of the battle-hardened warriors she had faced.

Even now... Kiana is definitely not as good as she was when she stepped into the Theater of Domination in the game.

Ultimately, it's just a two- or three-star Stigmata power; there's nothing particularly special about her.

Some of the puppets shook their heads, some nodded, and most remained motionless.

"...Then let the trial begin! And—the path we have chosen!"

The puppets on stage cheered and jumped for joy, while the puppets below the stage were overjoyed.

Madness, sin, survival, desire... all unfold in this small theater, yet confined to this tiny world of the underdog, silent and unseen by anyone.

...

Nearby, the dubbing studio.

This place was unusually quiet now; Xiao Shi, being an impatient person, had already gone off to save the world with Kiana and the others.

Fu Hua remained here, along with Bronya, Seele, and the Vodka Girl.

Fu Hua looked at the Holy Mark in Luo Mo's palm with some surprise. She instinctively felt that the power stored inside might be even stronger than hers, so... are there differences between Holy Marks?

"This sacred mark is..."

Bronya's face lit up with excitement; even though she had somewhat anticipated it, she couldn't hide the emotion in her expression.

The image reflected on it shows my own appearance, depicting me at different stages of my life.

At the same time, she could also feel an attraction emanating from above, as if... something vital to her.

"In game terms, it should be called your exclusive stigmata?"

Luo Mo stroked his chin, choosing different language techniques for different people.

Clearly, Bronya is the kind of person who is more convenient to communicate through games, and perhaps... Brownie, who is currently lying in bed, also counts?

"Its name is Bronya Zaychek, and it appears quite late in the story..."

"So we haven't seen it in the game yet?"

“That makes sense. I even think that you are not yet accepted by it... After all, you haven’t even accepted your own core.”

"……Um?"

Bronya raised her little face, her confused eyes looking directly at the other person, innocent and naive, with a kind of clear foolishness unique to students.

She could clearly feel the core inside her body. Was it fake?

Will spending too much time on campus lead to this?

That's really scary.

A similar thought flashed through Luo Mo's mind.

"Compared to other cores, the Herrscher of Reason core is the one that is least risky for humans to accept, but there is a reason for that... In other words, someone else took the risk for you."

"If you can't overcome the thoughts of those 300,000 people... you'll never reach your limit. The risk is fixed. Since you've faced fewer trials before, you'll have to take more steps than others in the final step. There are no shortcuts."

He hesitated slightly, then explained it to him in his own understanding.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. By transforming all the power within its core into its own, and taking that leap of ascension, the Herrscher of Reason seems to have improved significantly, now possessing the power of truth that rivals Kiana and Mei…

"Uh……"

Bronya was clearly taken aback; she lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

She seemed to understand what the other person meant...

Is it not enough to simply inherit Mr. Walter's will...?

"Using them as a support, but... what if it's someone even the original Herrscher of Reason couldn't defeat?"

Luo Mo asked the other person a question, which also seemed to be a questioning of himself.

He believed that Bronya, standing before him, understood everything.

Fu Hua, who was listening nearby, was also slightly lost in thought, her fingers unconsciously twitching her chin, inwardly agreeing with what they had said.

Without transcending their past, we cannot create the future they were unable to embrace.

But surpassing the past is easier said than done...

"Sister Bronya..."

Seele opened her mouth, and her slender hand reached out and rested on her shoulder.

[...Is this why her progress isn't as fast as yours? Although she's still firmly ahead of you now, but what about later...?]

However, who knows what will happen in the future? That stigmata... it's way too overpowered!

Black Seele muttered to herself, a hint of jealousy in her voice. She had borne the brunt of Seele's price as a Herrscher, but Seele's control was still too weak; she should be at least as strong as herself overall…

"So, how many of our Herrschers have completed their ascension... Luo Mo, how many of our Herrschers have achieved ascension?"

Fu Hua turned her head, her hair billowing. Her form-fitting clothes, unlike her usual monotonous black and white attire, now had a youthful vibe, adorned with cute accessories from Chi Yuan.
