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

Her eyes widened, a look of astonishment appearing in her pure blue eyes.

She truly hadn't expected that there was a Herrscher hidden within her academy. As it turns out, the number of Herrschers in St. Freya remains a mystery, and no one knows exactly how many there are.

Perhaps future generations can learn from historical records that St. Freya was a place where hidden talents were everywhere. Honkai Beasts, who were rarely seen by the outside world, were commonplace in the academy... and if you didn't study hard, you would even fail your courses.

However, as things stand, Theresa is very puzzled about the presence of a Herrscher right under her nose.

"Furthermore... shouldn't there only be twelve Herrschers? Why is she said to be the thirteenth? Is there a mistake in the records?"

She shifted her head and looked at Luo Mo.

"The Thirteenth Herrscher..."

Luo Mo pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes. "Maybe that was a lie too? But looking back, it's no wonder that a Herrscher managed to infiltrate Yingjie's second seat. It's no wonder Mebius called her a traitor."

"But what she betrayed was probably the side of collapse."

"...Isn't what you're saying contradictory? She lied earlier, but then she became a Herrscher."

Theresa dragged the stool and quickly took two steps back, making quite a noise in the quiet room. She reached Luo Mo's side and asked.

"Perhaps the captain meant that she is a Herrscher, but not necessarily the thirteenth."

Hearing this, Eileen, who was standing to the side, rubbed her slender fingers together, which was considered an answer to Theresa's question.

"Herrschers... but not thirteen..."

Theresa muttered those two words, seemingly trying to glean some information from them, but she quickly gave up trying to find out more.

"So what kind of Herrscher is she?"

"Well... how about you take a guess? I can give you a hint: her power has never appeared in the current era."

Luo Mo revealed a mischievous smile.

"Is there a reward?"

"You only deserve punishment; the reward goes to Yuexia."

"Hmm? Luo Mo, have you been getting more and more arrogant lately?"

Theresa seemed to have a # symbol moving on her forehead. She looked at Luo Mo with displeasure. What did he mean by saying that she was the one who answered the question, the punishment was hers, and the reward was the moon?

This is so unfair!

Although she didn't mind giving it to Yuexia, after all, in her heart, the other party was still a younger sister who needed to be taken care of... but wasn't there even a transition period?

"But... I've already given you two outfits, what more reward do you want? That's enough."

Luo Mo shrugged and said helplessly.

"There's too little information; I don't want to guess."

Meanwhile, Brownie and Delta, who were listening to the conversation a little further away in the hall, couldn't help but twitch their lips. Their understanding of this world wasn't very deep, so they didn't quite grasp the profound meaning of the game's dialogue.

Brownie nudged Delta's waist with his elbow and whispered, "You've noticed? He might actually be a lolicon..."

Delta glanced at her, pursing her lips without answering.

Brownie continued, "Hey, I'm telling you, you look pretty young too, not to mention the three Theresas, and if you exclude that ninja who can generate electricity, then it's just Eileen and me who don't count."

"...You're the one who's more like a loli. After all, you're not tall and you don't have much meat on your bones."

Delta said coldly.

She scoffed at the other person's explanation, saying that she... how old was the other person? What kind of person would run away from home?

"Hey, hey, hey, this conversation is getting awkward. Okay, okay, we're both young girls. But anyway, it's undeniable that he has malicious intentions and likes Theresa. I have to keep an eye on him."

"...So you mean?"

Delta paused for a long time, still not understanding what it meant.

Brownie said matter-of-factly, "I've decided not to leave. I'll stay in this villa and watch the show. I bet on Stargazing to win!"

She wanted to carefully observe the three Theresas to see who would stand out, and to be clear, she decided to vote for the one who seemed the smartest. Although the one who seemed a little less intelligent was more like the one from her world...

But winning or losing cannot be based solely on emotions!

Come on, she's betting her sister's name on this battle. She's going to fight Bronya to the death. Oh, and the other side is that red-eyed Theresa.

"Ha, childish."

Delta said dismissively, "So, I'm betting on Eileen."

"...? That's cheating, isn't it?"

Brownie stared at her in disbelief.

"Did you mention the rules?" Delta remained noncommittal. Of course, she had seen and even heard her agreement with Bronya. After all, their best-of-three format was quite bizarre. She had overheard snippets of conversation while training the two little ones.

It's fair to say that the outcome is difficult to predict.

...

in the villa,

"The other party is also a Herrscher, the Thirteenth Herrscher. Hmph, quite arrogant. Is he the last one?"

Kiana frowned and said unhappily.

No wonder the Herrscher club didn't seem to refuse at all... She felt more and more like a clown back then, so embarrassing. No, she'd add the restrictions for Herrschers of this century.

She made up her mind.

"...Idiot Kiana, there are only twelve Herrschers recorded. Don't you understand the problem yet?"

Bronya said coldly, while also beginning to consider the other party's powers.

“Alice… No wonder she was the first hero to greet me. In Paradise, she treats me differently from others… Is she one of our kind?” Mei suddenly realized.

"I think even if you weren't a Herrscher, you would still see her..." Kiana muttered to herself. To be honest, she thought the other person was lusting after Mei's body!

"Herrscher...that Alicia...Herrscher...no wonder she's so strong."

Xiao Shi muttered a few words to himself, then looked at Fu Hua, who was equally surprised, before feeling relieved.

It seems it's not her problem.

Then it'll be fine.

...

At the headquarters of Destiny, in the office...

"The Thirteen Laws... are not recorded in the documents. Indeed, the heroes still have many secrets to keep."

Karen sighed, equally astonished as she looked at the final, shocking words on the screen.

The attack by a thousand men was certainly random, but fate wasn't entirely without clues either. They gradually narrowed down the possible locations of the enemy, but then nothing happened.

Kallen's biggest concern is whether it will choose to act with other Herrschers.

It was impossible in previous civilizations, and there was no precedent for it even in games; it usually happened one by one. But whether it was because she was unwilling or unable to, she wasn't sure.

Resources have significantly increased the number of S-rank Valkyries in Destiny. The appearance of Stigmata undoubtedly provides a higher platform for those with less natural talent. Compared to the past when strength was purely dependent on luck, things are much better now.

The strength of Destiny is growing rapidly, which seems like a cause for celebration.

However, if there are no setbacks, the protagonists' growth worries her. Herrschers rely on high-end power, and ordinary S-ranks may not have room to intervene.

“Bishop Kallen, the detectors here are still having a hard time accurately identifying the thousand Herrschers. Their Honkai energy level remains at the level of ordinary Honkai Beasts... It's really disgusting. Either... we only have a search range of a few meters, and we can only search them one by one.”

In the video, the red-haired, grumpy lobster-like doctor reports on the situation.

"...Well, I understand."

Karen nodded, her eyes showing thoughtfulness.

Chapter 45 Under the Big Moon, Transformation!

The story of Paradise has come to a temporary end, concluding with Alicia and Mei meeting and seeing each other.

Her appearance was no less impressive than her first, still bringing shock and surprise, but this time, she revealed her true identity to everyone.

The Inscription of the True Self, the Thirteenth Herald.

In the very beginning of Paradise, she was the first to greet Mei. It's always like this; she is the beginning of everything, and as the poem goes, she always brings an end to something she has been pursuing.

In terms of plot, it seems that the story of the paradise of the past has indeed come to an end.

What kind of world does the door that Aponia finally opened lead to?

However, in the current game, there are still countless storylines waiting for everyone to explore, and a corner of that world has already been quietly revealed to everyone.

It is worth noting that this time, the Paradise of the Past event will not end with each version update as in the past.

It will serve as a permanent event to create jobs for previously retired Valkyries to re-enter the workforce. In the current Abyss, the era of many Valkyrie armors has passed, and they have been replaced by newer armors.

In this regard, some enhancements have been added to Paradise to allow players to relive the experience, and so has the Herrscher of Knowledge. Her New Year's greeting sword technique, which she has used since her debut, has been enhanced again in Paradise. Not only is the damage higher, but the strikes are also faster!

The sight of the raven still rolling around in the arena made the player's vision go black, but overall it was still a significant improvement.

Since the number of Valkyrie armors released was obviously less than in normal Honkai Impact 3rd, Luo Mo thoughtfully added almost all of them to Paradise. Although White Comet would still be just White Comet in Paradise, and the Lady with the voice and appearance still had fallen into obscurity, she was still not up to the task in Paradise...

But Theresa was still having a great time playing with her own armor.

Inside the villa, after the main storyline ended, her happy moments began.

"Throwing blade, drawing sword, watch out for overhead."

Inside, the Violet Armor slaughtered the monsters like mowing grass. Theresa had to admit that seeing herself going on a rampage in the game felt quite satisfying. Moreover, relying on the low difficulty, she confidently challenged Thousand Tribulations on the last floor.

She released all the resentment she felt from her desperate escape and plot-induced death in the storyline, and her face was slightly flushed. She seemed to be having a lot of fun.

"They actually added me to Rosalia's armor?"

Delta glanced at it and noticed that Rosalia, who had unlocked her core, was among the selectable characters in Paradise. She frowned.

This was the first time she had seen what she looked like in the game. After the side quest, the core upgrade was unlocked.

"Pretty impressive, well, considering this is a new type of armor."

Theresa laughed and joked, "But the armor strength gets stronger as you go on, who knows what kind of people will come out later?"

She shrugged, looking at the window where no further plot content would appear, and said with a hint of helplessness:
