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

Hua continued walking in that direction, speaking rapidly, "If it were just Qian Jie's madness, it wouldn't be considered extremely dangerous. The real problem is that the only person who could properly handle this situation... is gone."

Ahead stood several heroes, including Kosmo, Gretchen, and Eden, while Su Zheng confronted Qian Jie.

Unlike his performance, although Su was at a disadvantage in his confrontation with Qian Jie, he did not immediately collapse when the opponent went all out.

They steadily withstood wave after wave of the other party's anger.

The reason for their anger, evident in their shouts, was related to Sakura. Su wanted to press the other person to tell if they had seen Sakura or anything else.

But Qianjie resolutely defended Ying, and he angrily said:

"You... are not worthy to mention her name. And don't even think about... using my anger as a tool in your hands!"

"She is not a traitor, neither in the past nor now!!"

Su was in a bind because the other party hadn't said anything of value, only repeating the same two sentences over and over. He wanted to say that he didn't distrust Ying, but all the current clues pointed to the other party, and he couldn't bring himself to say it under her direct gaze.

Fully charged, with immense power, it was about to crash down carrying endless flames. This was a strike of Qian Jie's full strength, and no one could easily withstand it.

Ripples flowed through the space, and a wave of energy spread across the surroundings.

In the end, Su could only sigh and choose to temporarily seal away the Thousand Tribulations with the Sumeru Mustard Seed... although it couldn't last long.

Is Senju a die-hard fan of Sakura?

[Jie-ge got angry because they suspected Sakura~]

[Brother Jie is a good guy to get along with; he'll really step up when things get tough!]

"Heh, Qianjie is still the same as ever, as rude as I expected, just rushing forward to his death."

Mebius scoffed.

Qianjie's words weren't entirely without merit, but the moment he made the first move in a fit of anger, he was already at a disadvantage.

In everyone's mind, the right way to resolve misunderstandings is through proper communication among partners, not by resorting to force. Qianjie is undoubtedly the opposite.

Of course, those who were unaware of the situation were also curious as to why Kevin, who could have stopped him, hadn't appeared.

"Right, ice counters fire, Kevin should just show up and stop him."

Kiana seemed to recall the theory of basic elements she had memorized, and nodded as she spoke.

Putting everything else aside, she actually has a natural advantage in identifying with Kevin, after all, he's her ancestor. Although he doesn't seem to want to acknowledge her at all, it doesn't stop Kiana from longing for him, since they haven't had many adversarial interactions yet.

Kevin's Heavenly Fire was unleashed at will, directly confronting the god Sha, and... he forcefully suppressed the eldest sister in Sky City. If she wants to become the strongest Valkyrie, Kevin's existence is her most prominent motivation at this moment.

The goal is specific and vivid; all she needs to do is 'revert to her ancestral ways'.

"Ha—he's in dire straits himself. Do you really think he doesn't want to come out?"

Qianjie said disdainfully.

"Then why don't you explain properly? Both Alicia and Kevin trust their companions, and the other heroes shouldn't be willing to doubt them either."

Kiana asked, puzzled.

"..." Qian Jie glanced at the screen, then glared at Mebius. "You'll find out soon enough. Don't worry, I'm neither stupid nor foolish."

"It's better than someone who hides away secretly and ends up accomplishing nothing."

"Hmph—" Mebius gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes.

Qianjie might not be able to guess what she was planning to do.

But the plot of the last part is obvious to all. The short film is Alicia's show, so it's obvious that she, Mebius, was not the one who defeated the mastermind.

However, how could she accept being ridiculed by the other party? "It's still better than someone who started the division first."

"Ha—haha—, split? The one who always talks about splits, who's never been an ally, isn't that you all along?"

The smell of gunpowder grew stronger.

Mebius and Qianjie always disliked each other, but because Qianjie didn't have any useful Holy Marks, he stopped taking the initiative to attack.

"Hehe, Grandma Mebius and Brother Qianjie still have such a good relationship."

"Grand Gretchen exclaimed."

"Hmm?" Kiana looked at him with a puzzled expression, as did Luo Mo.

"Huh? Isn't that right? They don't like talking to others, but when the two of them are facing each other, they can't stop talking."

Seeing the looks from the others, Big Gretchen explained with some surprise.

...

Mei was at a loss for words regarding the farce that had just occurred.

After all, this involves the heroes themselves, and she is not their ally, so it is not appropriate for her to comment on them.

However, to be honest, Qianjie seems a bit unreasonable.

Although that was his usual label, it wouldn't be the case that he would suddenly become enraged at this moment, showing signs of causing a disturbance for no reason.

Eden stepped forward to strategize the battle; everyone present needed a commander, regardless of suitability.

Su analyzed that there must be one or more traitors among Ying Jie, and now they are erasing their memories one by one... completely annihilating them.

They discussed the matter, decided on the order of their actions, and prepared to continue their efforts to find clues according to the plan.

Yes, in the distance.

A strange phenomenon... or perhaps an obituary, descended from the sky.

—That was the message they had been waiting for since the beginning, trying to put the last piece of cold iron down on everyone's hearts.

And it did succeed.

Countless sheets of white paper fell from the sky, without reason or warning. They were like pure white snowflakes, though covered with tiny black characters.

This situation... Mei vaguely felt familiar with it. With a hint of doubt, she reached out and took a piece of paper. The moment she saw what was on it, her eyes widened involuntarily.

A profound sense of horror, a surge of emotions welling up inside me, and utter disbelief.

"This is impossible!"

She couldn't help but say.

But the written record left no room for her to question it, but... the typewriter was clearly broken and could not possibly have appeared here by chance.

But she couldn't help but think... what if it were true.

On those pages where no lies could ever be found, only one sentence lay there, repeated over and over.

Kevin is dead.

"I must...put my life into the chamber of a gun for this," he once said.

On the paper, four words were repeated over and over, their tiny size like mosquitoes covering the entire page, telling a horrifying story.

The strongest hero, the hero least likely to die, died the day after Alicia's accident, as if dying according to his original rank...

The screen automatically jumped back to the main page, and Kevin's card was enlarged in front of you, where Alicia's card had become blank and only the cards of the Twelve Heroes remained.

Then came a crisp and familiar sound.

The same emptiness, the same crack, the same conspicuous white line—both cards shattered one after another.

The silence testifies to the fact that Kevin is dead.

Chapter 74 I've been thinking about how to kill Kevin every single day!

In the Golden Courtyard,

Although the breaking of Kevin's card brought them back to their senses, everyone was still momentarily stunned by what Grand Gretchen had just said.

"Actually... it's not entirely unreasonable. If we apply the situations of Mebius and Alicia to her and Qianjie, it's not entirely unfounded."

Luo Mo stroked his chin, quite admiring Gretchen's ability to think from different perspectives.

Is this why the other party can always create paintings that are unique yet perfectly appropriate?

Instead of looking at the surface of the problem, we should directly and incisively point out its underlying meaning.

That's right, Qianjie and Mebius must have a very good relationship!

Qianjie: "..."

Möbius: "...Alright, let's look at Kevin's death instead."

She rubbed her forehead, somewhat unwilling to engage with the topic of her close relationship with Qianjie. Why did they come to such a strange conclusion?

Is it possible that they talk a lot because they are enemies but can't kill each other?

But because of Gretchen, she couldn't do anything.

"Kevin is dead too. I never thought his last words would come true. They really were his last words."

"On another note, second place... could it really be a problem with my seating arrangement?~"

Alicia tilted her little head up, somewhat questioning the meaning of life.

The players' comments make a lot of sense. Why is it in this particular order?

Everyone says to start with the easy parts and then move on to the difficult ones, but he insists on starting with the difficult parts and then moving on to the easy ones, right? What a strange person.

"Kevin, what do you think?"

Immediately afterwards, Alicia brought up the topic again with the protagonist, asking for the opinions of the dead people on the screen.

"Naturally, we have a backup plan."

Kevin glanced at her and replied.

She clearly played the villainous role, so why ask the question when she already knows the answer?

If there's one character who stays throughout the entire story, it's undoubtedly Velvi; but if we're talking about a voice actress who stays throughout, then the best answer would probably be Alicia.

The word "carry out" is a bit of an exaggeration; "play a lot" might be a better description.

A cute and charming villain... although it doesn't quite fit the previous description.

"Boss, tell me honestly, how many will be left in the end? Did you put up the interface of the Thirteen Heroes just so people could see them shatter one by one?"

Kiana said dejectedly,
