Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Although several hours have passed in the real world, time has no meaning in a black hole, an existence that can distort and devour even light.

Inside the black hole, only a dozen seconds had passed.

"I only hope that my benefactor can take good care of Chen Tianwen..." Chen Tianwu, whose consciousness was gradually fading, left behind his last whisper.

"You are to take care of your sister yourself."

Jiuxiao placed his hand on Chen Tianwu's body, and the power of creation was immediately activated. Using Chen Tianwu's genes as a blueprint, super-fast healing and regeneration began, and Chen Tianwu's injuries were completely healed in less than ten seconds.

After healing Chen Tianwu, Jiuxiao took him away from the black hole.

Jiuxiao can only heal physical injuries; the mental anguish must be healed over time. Chen Tianwu fell into a coma, and so did the people in the city.

In those healing gases, Jiu Xiao added something else. The people who were healed would not remember why or how they were healed; their minds would automatically fill in a suitable cause and effect for the host.

When Jiuxiao arrived at the Valkyrie's gathering place, he found that the Valkyries of Destiny were all waiting for him. Each Valkyrie's eyes were filled with admiration and respect, after all, the commotion Jiuxiao had made could not be kept secret from them.

"Lord Jiuxiao!" "Lord Jiuxiao!" "Lord Jiuxiao!"

As soon as Jiuxiao appeared, the Valkyries cheered and rushed towards him. This was because Jiuxiao had not only annihilated the Honkai Beasts, but also saved many severely injured Valkyries.

"I'm relieved to see that everyone is alright. Now I declare the mission complete!" Jiuxiao waved his hand, announcing that the Honkai incident had been resolved.

The Valkyries hugged each other happily, cheering and jumping for joy, tears streaming down their faces in celebration. But their joy lasted only a few seconds before they returned to their original state of readiness for battle.

Valkyrie A wiped away her tears and said firmly to the heavens, "The Honkai is over, but people are still waiting for us to rescue them."

Valkyrie B echoed, "Yes! A Valkyrie's duty isn't just to fight Honkai..."

Seeing these Valkyries who were clearly terrified of death and still grieving the loss of their comrades, yet still forced themselves to prepare for the rescue, Jiu Xiao couldn't help but feel moved and saddened.

The Honkai is rampant, and the only ones who can fight against it are these girls who should be studying in school and enjoying their youth.

The Valkyries are mostly teenage girls who can retire in their twenties or thirties, but how many actually live to retirement... and how many more years after retirement...?

"No need, go back and rest..." Jiuxiao patted the Valkyrie's head and then told them they could go back to base and bury their comrades.

"But those people are still waiting for rescue..."

Anna retorted softly. Although Lord Jiuxiao had ordered them to obey unconditionally, their convictions prevented them from turning a blind eye to the people's plight.

"Wanling has rescued them from the ruins, and I have treated their injuries. They are all lying safely on the ground now. Leave the rest to the People's Army! You have worked very hard, so get some rest."

Jiuxiao explained to the Valkyries and instructed Cortana to send a message to Otto and the Philippine government.

On the unobstructed roads, they rescued the people lying on the ground. Jiuxiao believed the local authorities would handle this well; if they didn't... then even if the Valkyries went to rescue them, it would be in vain.

Ultimately, the resettlement of the people still depends on the local government, but if they can't even handle a relatively simple rescue operation, then there's even less hope for their future.

Jiu Xiao carried the unconscious Chen Tianwu through the hesitant Valkyries to find Chen Tianwu's sister, Chen Tianwen.

If Chen Tianwu could become a Herrscher, then Chen Tianwen would at least be a Herrscher-level being. Considering the Honkai Beasts converging on Chen Tianwen before, Jiuxiao speculated that if Chen Tianwen hadn't lost consciousness and fallen into a coma, then he would have become a Herrscher.

Or perhaps they were crushed to death by falling rocks on their way to becoming a Herrscher, causing their Herrscher transformation to fail...

After all, no matter how strong a Herrscher is, without the ability to cover themselves with Honkai... they are still just mortal beings.

"Lord Jiuxiao, please wait!"

Anna called out to Jiu Xiao, who was leaving, and hurriedly ran to him, solemnly returning the Build Driver to him.

"Thank you, Lord Jiuxiao, for your Valkyrie armor. It's truly amazing! It not only saved me several times, pulling me out of danger, but it also gave me a lot of boosts and power, allowing me to destroy a Honkai Beast with a single punch, and..." Anna thanked Jiuxiao profusely, explaining how much help Jiuxiao's build had given her.

"what?"

Jiuxiao took the Build driver with some confusion, then patted Anna's head and said with a smile:

“Anna, it seems you’ve misunderstood something… This Valkyrie armor is bound to me. It doesn’t provide any enhancement for you; it only offers basic defense.”

"Anna, don't underestimate yourself. What you're talking about is all your own power! You're very strong, don't forget you're an A-rank Valkyrie!"

Anna stood there, stunned, and then bowed deeply to Jiuxiao as he walked away.

"So... this is my own power... but..."

Chapter 195 I have a heart condition, don't mess with me

At the bedside, after confirming that Chen Tianwen had no tendency towards lawification and that there was no "gate" left by the imaginary number, Jiuxiao told Chen Tianwu, who had woken up, about the so-called Honkai and the Lawbringers.

Manila, Babylon, Changkong City, and Berlin are all highly developed civilizations. It was precisely this rapid development of civilization that gave rise to the Honkai. And with the Honkai eruption, the Herrschers were born...

Chen Tianwu listened in silence. The collapse had occurred too suddenly... The real world had shattered the beautiful world woven by the original destiny in an instant.

Because of the previous erosion and riots, Chen Tianwu thought it was another attack by extraterrestrials, but he never expected the truth to be the so-called collapse...

"You and your sister Chen Tianwen both have good adaptability to Honkai energy. Are you interested in joining the Destiny Organization and becoming warriors against Honkai?" Jiuxiao extended an invitation to Chen Tianwu.

Chen Tianwu stared silently at Chen Tianwen, remaining silent for a long time. Finally, in a hoarse voice, he asked Jiuxiao in return:

"Why become warriors fighting against the Honkai... We just want a peaceful life, we just want to survive..."

"You should understand that people are different... especially now that you've become a Herrscher. This Honkai outbreak is just the beginning; you'll continue to encounter Honkai in the future. You've seen those assassins and Honkai beasts... those monsters are transformed from people or animals with high Honkai adaptability like you and your sister!"

The Honkai has its sights set on you. If the Honkai erupts around you again, and you have no way to fight back, your sister will become a suicide soldier right before your eyes... So rather than me inviting you, it's more accurate to say you had no other choice.

"..." Chen Tianwu fell silent; his mind was in turmoil.

Chen Tianwu didn't want to deal with all this nonsense; he just wanted to live a good life with his sister. But if his sister became a suicide bomber, one of those disgusting guys, Chen Tianwu couldn't accept it.

"If I want to leave... will you stop me?" Chen Tianwu looked up at Jiuxiao.

"you guess."

Jiuxiao took out the Star and held it against Chen Tianwu's neck.

“I already know you’re a Herrscher, how could I let you leave? Even though I’ve destroyed the Herrscher core, the Gate of Imaginary Numbers has been left behind. As long as the conditions are right, you will still become a Herrscher.”

"..."

Chen Tianwu pushed away the Star Sword and returned to Chen Tianwen's bedside, taking a few last, reluctant glances at her.

"Tianwen is still young, and her inner strength is far less than that of you. She's a coward, a coward who only knows how to hide behind me... I admire you Valkyries, but I don't want Tianwen to become a Valkyrie like you, someone who could die at any moment... I only hope that she can grow up happily and carefree."

Jiuxiao: "The outbreak of Honkai is unstoppable. The Herrschers will begin to descend one after another until they completely destroy human civilization. Chen Tianwu, we have no other choice!"

"No, no, no, there's still a choice..."

Chen Tianwu smiled and declined to interrupt Jiu Xiao's speech.

"Jiuxiao, take Chen Tianwen to join the Destiny organization you mentioned! She's still young. Even if she has no other choice but to go to the battlefield, it will be many years later. In the meantime, let her stay in your Valkyrie training institution!"

"And I... I will search... find a way to end the Honkai. Schicksal is an enormous organization; you have your own channels, and we ordinary people have ours... The underworld is a mixed bag, and it has existed for far longer than Schicksal's history. If there is a way to end the Honkai, if it's not in the open world, then it must be in the dark underworld!"

As Chen Tianwu spoke, he became more and more excited, and for some reason, he began to firmly believe that he would find a way to end the collapse.

Orphaned, leaving behind a younger sister, disaster strikes, a powerful benefactor saves his life, and he himself possesses hidden strength. Isn't this the opening scene for a protagonist's story? Young Chen Tianwu's youthful, idealistic spirit ignites instantly; he is determined to save this world.

Then Jiuxiao's sword was stuck in front of him, just a hair's breadth away from cutting him in two.

"You idiot..." Jiu Xiao patted Chen Tianwu's head speechlessly. "I told you you're a Herrscher, I can't just let you leave like that."

"Benefactor, give me a chance! Look at me now, I'm just a weakling. Even if I go back to the Heavenly Mandate Organization with you, I'll be of no use!" Chen Tianwu clung to Jiu Xiao's leg and begged desperately. His protagonist career couldn't end before it even began!

"Who said that? You can go back and slice it up for research! Just kidding."

"???" Upon hearing "dissection," Chen Tianwu hugged the man even tighter. "My savior! Father! You've already saved my life once, you won't send me to be dissected again, will you?!"

"I was just joking, can't you understand human language? Get off me, I'm not interested in men." Jiu Xiao shook Chen Tianwu off, but Chen Tianwu was sticking to him like a leech. What would happen if others saw them?

"I won't let go until you agree!"

"Fine, go if you want! I hope you really can find the answer."

Jiu Xiao was at a loss after Chen Tianwu's persistent pleas. After all, even if Chen Tianwu joined the Heavenly Mandate, he would just be another soldier, not very useful.

Otto was also not interested in Herrschers, and his orders to Jiuxiao were: "If you encounter a Herrscher, try to persuade them to surrender if you can, otherwise kill and retrieve them, and bring back the Herrscher's core."

Well, the only useful thing for a Herrscher is the Herrscher Core; their bodies are just ordinary mortals, no different from regular people.

"We can let you leave, but some measures still need to be taken."

Jiuxiao placed his hand on Chen Tianwu's chest, opened another hole in his chest, told him some heartfelt things, and then used the power of creation to heal him again.

"Cough cough cough... My benefactor, please give me a heads-up next time, it hurts a lot..." Chen Tianwu collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

"I'm used to it... I'll be more careful next time..." Jiu Xiao scratched his head sheepishly; opening up to someone's heart is addictive...

"I've placed many singularities within you. They're so tiny they're undetectable, and they'll also help conceal the portals left by the imaginary numbers on your body. If one day you become a Herrscher and lose control, they'll collapse into black holes and devour you. Also, if you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, you can use them to take them down with you, but I hope you won't need to."

Chapter 196 It’s too dark

On the aircraft, Jiu Xiao carried the awakened Chen Tianwen back to St. Freya Academy, while Chen Tianwu hurriedly left before Chen Tianwen woke up.

Chen Tianwu said he was afraid that Chen Tianwen would be unable to walk after waking up, so he left a few messages for Chen Tianwen on Jiuxiao's phone, asked for Jiuxiao's contact information, and then left.

However, Chen Tianwu never understood why the contact method was so abstract... For example, find a computer, open the internet and keep searching for "Cortana is a pig", and while searching, shout "Cortana is an idiot" into the microphone. Do this a hundred times and you can contact Jiuxiao.

After listening to the voice message left by Chen Tianwu, Chen Tianwen looked dejected and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he wiped his eyes and obediently followed Jiu Xiao.

The girl appeared very well-behaved and sensible, neither crying nor making a fuss, nor asking too many questions, but simply following Jiu Xiao quietly.
