Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

The clues to the Key of God should be in the murals, but the only objects that can be connected to the Key of God are the "Sword in the Stone" and the "Round Table".

As Rita was deep in thought, a cat's meow interrupted her.

--------------

On a bustling street in England, Durandal strolled leisurely, clutching the travel guide notes Rita had given her.

On one hand, she visited scenic spots in various places, and on the other hand, Durandal used herself as bait to try to lure out the mastermind behind the attack on Jiuxiao.

But now Durandal felt she had found the "mastermind," so she lowered her footsteps and movements and quietly approached the guy.

On the streets of Britain, besides humans, there is another noble creature.

They are a solitary species, silently observing the changes in human society amidst the clamor of the world. But if anyone dares to touch them lightly, you will surely suffer their wrathful punishment.

"Aim!"

The wildcat suddenly turned around and slashed Durandal's hand with its claws, cutting it as she tried to pet it, before fleeing in a flash.

Durandal covered her hand regretfully and sighed.

"Sigh, even if I try my best to suppress the Honkai energy in my body, I will still be hated by the cat."

--------------

The entrance to the British Museum.

Stan, a cat with a light gray body, dark limbs, tail and ear tips, maple-like markings on his face, purplish-red eyes, and purple stripes on his forehead and tail tip, is leisurely preparing to enter the British Museum.

"What an adorable kitten... Oh no, kittens can't come in here!"

The bald security guard squatted down next to Stan with a happy expression, wanting to pet the kitten.

"Meow." (Hmph, with that frail physique and utterly oblivious expression, can you even be considered a warrior?!)

Stan jumped up and punched the bald security guard in the face. The guard flew backward, smashing a stone pillar in the British Museum and passing out.

"Meow." (Weakling, go back to the womb and start over.)

Stan was once just an ordinary little cat, but he was forced to experience the baptism of war and desperately survived it.

Then it met its owner, and a deep bond of kinship and friendship was formed...

But they were murdered right in front of Stan.

Stan's life was filled with hardship and displacement, experiencing war, the pain of losing family and friends, and the agony of separation and death. This suffering taught Stan that only power is the true principle of this world.

One day it encountered a jackal, and in order to gain enough power, it stepped into the forbidden territory without hesitation.

For this, it put in extraordinary effort, eliminating countless of its kind in the fierce competition for survival.

Finally, after undergoing brutal experiments, it gained power surpassing all others, becoming the ultimate life form on this planet.

But all the past events made Stan angry at the bald security guard for being so weak and lacking any sense of crisis, so he taught the bald security guard a lesson.

--------------

“A cat…? Why is there a cat here?” Rita looked warily at Stan, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Stan simply looked at Rita, then the limiter on Stan's neck activated. As liquid was injected into the limiter, the normal-sized cat Stan transformed into a gigantic Honkai Beast amidst a thick fog.

Rita tried to dodge, but Stan still managed to grab her arm during the sudden attack.

"Why can an ordinary cat turn into a Honkai Beast? Is it because of the device around its neck?"

"Meow." (It actually dodged my attack.)

"Meow." (Your body is also filled with the power of Honkai. It seems we are of the same kind... It is said that Valkyries all possess their own armor. Little girl, let me witness your full power!)

"Although I don't know why I can understand a cat's speech, since you've asked for it, I'll show you!"

"Fourth-generation Valkyrie Armor - Azure Knight: Moon Soul, commencing transmission."

After quantum positioning, Azure Knight: Moon Soul was directly transmitted from the Schicksal headquarters via quantum entanglement. In less than half a second, Rita had completed Azure Knight: Moon Soul's attire.

"You're the ones who attacked the Nine Heavens, aren't you? I'll defeat you first and then investigate properly!"

"Meow!" (Funny!)

Stan raised his tail high, and after transforming, his tail became an extremely powerful weapon.

boom--

A massive Honkai energy beam erupted from its tail, its attack radius covering the entire small room, forcing Rita to raise her Frostbite Skadi to withstand the Honkai energy beam.

Beep beep beep. Stan's limiter sounded an alarm, and Stan transformed back into his kitten form.

"Meow." (Human tools are as fragile as ever. Looks like this is where we have to go for today. My name is Stan, a little human girl. Until we meet again.)

Shortly after Stan left, Rita cleaved through the broken wall with a single blow and emerged from the ruins.

"I didn't expect it to be so powerful; I was really careless. It seems the mastermind behind this is quite powerful..."

Chapter 208 Arthur, Merlin

Just as Rita was about to follow Stan's trail, Catherine, the curator of the British Museum, appeared.

Catherine, veins bulging and furious, adjusted her glasses and questioned Rita, who was wearing Valkyrie armor:

"Miss Rita, can you explain to me what happened here?"

Rita stood on the ruins of the British Museum, turning her head and smiling.

"Don't worry, the museum's losses will be fully borne by Destiny."

--------------

"Yo!"

Durandal appeared quietly behind Rita, who was sitting at the museum entrance waiting for professionals to handle the situation.

"Lady Durandal, did you come here because you heard what happened here? What happened to your hand?" Rita asked Durandal, noticing the bandage on Durandal's hand as she greeted her.

"Oh...it's nothing, don't worry about it. But Rita is injured too, the enemy must be a really strong one!"

Rita touched the scratches on the back of her hand, scars left by Stan's sneak attack.

"This story begins with a cat..."

"A cat? Don't say anything, I understand."

It seemed Rita, like herself, had tried to pet a stray kitten and gotten scratched. Durandal patted Rita on the shoulder, looking quite generous.

"I feel like Lady Durandal has misunderstood something..."

Rita then explained in detail to Durandal what had happened at the museum.

Rita: "The Honkai Beast that attacked the museum this time was man-made, so there must be someone behind it. First, Jiuxiao was framed and imprisoned, and then the museum was openly attacked. Their target is Schicksal. As long as I continue to investigate, they will definitely come knocking again."

Durandal: "Can you handle this by yourself? Do you need my help?"

"Lady Durandal, please enjoy your holiday. Don't worry about this little thing, Rita will take care of it."

"Really? You actually said that..." Durandal stood up and tossed her blonde hair. "Then I'll listen to you. If anything happens, contact me or Jiuxiao immediately."

"As ordered."

--------------

A base somewhere in the world of snakes.

"Well done, Stan. To actually push Schicksal's S-rank Valkyrie to such a level." World Serpent executive Jackal, wearing a jackal mask, happily patted Stan's kitten.

"Meow." (He didn't even check his equipment before the battle! I could have taken down that little girl in just five more seconds.)

Stan angrily shouted at the jackal, but unfortunately, the jackal was weak and couldn't understand Stan's meows.

"This is your reward. With a little optimization of the limiter, your action time will be extended several times over in the future." Jackal brought over a serving of cat food and placed it in front of Stan.

"Meow." (Hmph, he actually has the appetite to eat.)

Stan slapped the cat bowl away, spilling all the cat food that the jackal had carefully prepared onto the ground, and then left the laboratory on his own.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Meow." (Of course I'll continue to train my physique; only in this way can I better adapt to more Honkai energy.)

"???"

"Sigh, what a difficult creature to please." The jackal tilted its head in confusion, not even eating the Stan cat food it was offered.

"Why is he so indifferent to his master? Is he in heat?"

--------------

The next day, Catherine and Rita met again at the museum.

Catherine said to Rita, filled with righteous indignation:

“Miss Rita, as a guardian of English history, I cannot forgive the culprit who vandalized the museum yesterday. Moreover, through this incident, I have come to understand the importance of your mission, Miss Rita, so please allow me to use my abilities to help you!”

Rita: "Thank you for your kindness, Curator. Although my mission is classified, I happen to have other questions to ask you about the legend of King Arthur."
