Fan-made short videos have appeared in Honkai Impact 3rd, and characters have been created and sent

Their dance became increasingly fluid. Black Swan smiled and embraced Huang Quan: "Getting better and better, isn't it?"

Starlight shone on the palace floor, creating a series of picturesque scenes.

"Everyone has a past, and the past shapes the present. Some people can grasp their memories, while others are trapped by them, unable to escape. That's why I took action."

The black swan proudly raised its chin, looking at Huang Quan: "I need to know, which one is she?"

The two began circling: "This banquet has attracted many people: the company, Yi Ting, the Fool, the Nameless Guest, and the [Destruction] Annihilation Gang."

"They were supposed to keep their appointment, but... Duke Netherfire is dead."

[The Black Swan stared into Huang Quan's eyes: "He and his offspring will never attend another banquet."]

"Beautiful wanderer, what have you done?"

[Kiana: Huh?]

She no longer knew how to express her current emotions.

[Ying: What a beautiful dance! They're so pretty.]

[Sambo: Dance! Dance! Dance!]

[Jingyuan: It's more like a game of chess than a dance.]

[Star: You actually said not to gaze at the sea on a starless night? Seriously, if you wanted to invite me, you could have just said so.]

[March 7th: Thank you. Your words immediately pulled me out of my previous mood.]

[Nilu: I didn't expect both Black Swan and Huang Quan to be such skilled dancers.]

[Estella: For those who remember, mastering a skill shouldn't be difficult, and as for Huang Quan... it's not surprising that such a mysterious person can dance.]

[Walter Yang (Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway): I feel like after watching this video, I could paint a world-famous painting, "Kiana on the Moon."]

[Kiana: Huh? I ended up on the moon? That sounds pretty cool!]

[Kevin: The moon...]

[Bronya (Honkai Impact 3): Although they look alike, Yomi isn't Mei.]

[Alicia: This is Aponia going to find Raiden Mei (confirmed).]

[Yae no Miko: This is Kujo Sara going to find the Shadow (confirmed).]

[Kujo Sara: How could I possibly be worthy to dance with the Shogun...]

[Star: Speaking of which, Huang Quan seemed so disappointed at first. Was she unable to find the kitchen?]

[Kiana: Mei is not the Herrscher of Food!]

[Fireworks: Hehe, nobody said that, right?]

[Aha: Tango is an art of mutual probing and tug-of-war—when the music starts again, even your breath seems to collide?]

[Black Tower: Don't remind me of that dangerous party with Arashi and the Pharmacist at a time like this! You idiot!]

[Narcida: Is Black Swan deliberately approaching the Underworld to investigate Grand Duke of Netherfire...? Speaking of which, did she forget to include the Star Core Hunters when listing the factions?]

[Furina: The background of these starlight beams must be the past of the Underworld, it would be better if it were more specific.]

[Star: I want to see it too! Let me see!]

[March 7th: Huang Quan's eyes are getting darker, and his pupils are swelling; it feels like something big is about to happen!]

[Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway] Himeko: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

[The Black Swan successfully saw Huang Quan's memories; she saw the scene of the Grand Duke of the Underworld's dissipation, and she also saw the white-haired woman who turned back to look at her at the crime scene.]

In the end, all the Black Swan could see were a pair of red eyes, and all she could hear was a single sentence.

"Excuse me, are you asking me something?"

The background of the animation turns red, and the music becomes dangerous; in that instant, the Black Swan feels as if it is falling into an abyss.

[Huang Quan's dance moves began to be filled with murderous intent. The Black Swan wanted to escape, but she couldn't move an inch.]

The mastermind behind the dance subtly shifted; countless feathers were torn from the black swan by Huang Quan and scattered in all directions.

Against the backdrop of the dance, a snake and a swan are also dancing—no, it's less of a dance and more of a one-sided hunt.

The swan was completely powerless to resist and eventually turned into a skeleton.

Scenes flashed by: a venomous snake tearing apart a swan; a cheetah pouncing on an antelope; a black bear carrying a rabbit; a wolf hunting a buffalo; a shark attacking a school of fish; a spider weaving an insect web; a fly plant luring flies; a paramecium feeding on algae; and... a black hole swallowing stars.

The black swan helplessly reaches out her hand, perhaps not even knowing who she is asking for help, or who she can ask for help from.

[Huang Quan: Hmm...]

[Eden: The violin in the music seems to be mourning.]

[March 7th: What is all this nonsense?! I'm getting goosebumps!]

[Hanabi: Hahaha! We got thwarted! We got thwarted! Yay! I wanted to see this! My favorite episode!]

[Fireworks: Memoir, do you think you can escape unscathed forever? That surprised, desperate, and helpless expression is truly captivating.]

[Fireworks: Looking at that pitiful skeleton, it's like a roast goose carcass cooked in the underworld.]

[Paimon: The difference between Black Swan before and after seeing the memories of the Underworld is too great. Why did you go and touch her for no reason?]

[Black Swan: ...I really shouldn't have been so reckless.]

[Aha: A high-level hunter sometimes appears as the prey. Now the tide has turned, you're sweating bullets, aren't you, Black Swan?]

[Qin: So it turns out that even people from Yiting can't come and go freely in memories.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: If memories are water, the people of the Memory Court can only swim. To them, the memories of ordinary people are small lakes, while the memories of the Underworld are a boundless deep sea, so vast that even the Underworld itself cannot remember its size. Even those who possess memories can drown in it.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: Rather, in situations like this, those who can swim are more likely to drown.]

[Kiana: Watching others remember things must be like watching a movie, right? Imagine Sadako from horror movies actually crawling out of the theater and chasing viewers—just thinking about it is terrifying.]

[Bluebird: It feels like Black Swan was forced to adopt Grand Duke Hades' perspective and experience his death. If Black Swan didn't have a meme body, she might really have died like that.]

[Narcida: No, the Black Swan appears to have been killed more than once. She must have experienced many more deaths. After all, the death of the Grand Duke of the Underworld was just one of countless killings in the Underworld. Killing is like a simple biological instinct for the Underworld… It's truly terrifying.]

[Otto: Heh, even biological instincts are necessary for survival. What meaning would it have for a black hole to devour a planet? To achieve a goal? Driven by instinct? No, neither.]

[Otto: Devouring is meaningless to a black hole. The same is true for the Obliteration Gang—meaningless.]

[March 7th: So... the Underworld is a messenger of nothingness?]

[March 7th: I've heard that those tainted by the power of nothingness are called self-destroyers. They gradually lose all self-destruction, while those who resist the erosion of the power of nothingness and infinitely prolong the process of self-destruction become messengers of nothingness.]

[Black Tower: The black hole in the animation was quite obvious, wasn't it? The Black Swan could see IX directly, so it seems the connection between the Underworld and the Void is very deep.]

[Potio: You adorable little cutie, I'm the true sea patrolman! Little cutie! Why can I only talk like this here?!]

[Aha: A python coils around, a hawk lands, a cheetah runs wildly, an antelope leaps, a sleeping bear awakens suddenly, its paw strikes, a cunning rabbit attacks, a wolf advances, a buffalo beats a mouse, a shark eats a fish, small fish swim in the water, a spider eats a fly, a sickle sweeps the ground, a supernova burns, and Huang Quan beats up a black swan!]

[Paimon: Instead of dropping the bombshell at a time like this, you're ruining the atmosphere here?!]

[Aha: I really can't do anything with you guys, so I'll give you a hint: have you heard the story of Izumo Star?]

[Black Tower: Oh, I see. So that's where it is.]

[Star: Explain in detail.]

[Black Tower: It was a pair of twin stars intertwined near a black hole, one called Izumo, the other Takamagahara. One day, a ferocious beast descended from Takamagahara onto Izumo, not to invade, not to dominate, but only to hunt.]

[Black Tower: Izumo used all his strength to slay a ferocious beast, forging it into weapons to fight against even more beasts. Izumo forged a total of 12 swords after this.]

[Black Tower: Just as Izumo was about to achieve victory, the existence of the two planets vanished in an instant, disappearing without a trace... as if someone had severed Izumo's history with a single stroke.]

[Black Tower: Scholars have many different opinions on this story; perhaps only that pitch-black sun knows the answer, yet it remains silent and never speaks.]

[Silver Wolf: If you ask me, those ferocious beasts in Takamagahara are definitely related to Dr. Primal.]

[Honkai Impact 3rd Himeko: No matter how much the life on these two planets fights, they will ultimately be swallowed up by the black sun... How utterly meaningless.]

[Star: I see. So, that "starless night" refers to the time when the clouds and Takamagahara were swallowed up?]

[Lei Movie: The scenery of this world remains unchanged for thousands of years, yet human existence is as fleeting as dew and a bubble. Nothingness.]

[Yae no Miko: I see, I understand now.]

[Fu Xuan: Izumo's counterattack against Takamagahara fits the destiny of the patrolling knights. Could it be that Yomi is truly a patrolling knight-errant?]

[Theresa: Why does the story of Izumo and Takamagahara feel so familiar... Slaying gods, using their bodies to create weapons to continue slaying gods, and there are exactly 12 of them... Divine Keys?!]

[The music ended, and the two stopped dancing. The Black Swan was panting heavily, a far cry from her initial elegance.]

[Huang Quan looked at the black swan and asked, "The Annihilation Gang...who are they?"]

After they parted, Black Swan silently watched Huang Quan's departing figure: "I've been watching her for a long time. Tonight is the last time I'll invite her."

"[A sea patrolman]? No, I made a fatal mistake."

The sky turned blood-red, and countless corpses slowly fell.

"Everyone has a past, but for some, the past is a silent, deep sea, filled with the remains of the drowned."

[Huang Quan walked down the street, repeating a single phrase: "The Annihilation Gang... the Annihilation Gang..."]

She stopped in her tracks, then exclaimed in realization, "Ah...it's them!"

[Su Chang: When I saw Huang Quan clearly moving forward but his shadow not moving, I was very scared. But after seeing Huang Quan's attitude towards the Duke of Minghuo, that fear disappeared, and I suddenly just wanted to laugh.]

[Aha: Kids, this isn't funny.]

Chapter 119 The Grand Duke's sacrifice is worthy of a half-pack of snacks to mourn in the Yellow Springs (4k)

[Wendy: No matter when, the appearance of Grand Duke Grimfire always makes me laugh. He really should be the Envoy of Pleasure.]

[Fireworks: Our tavern only wants fools, not clowns.]
