Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Oh, and there's Stan, clinging to Rita's leg, refusing to let go. His limiter was damaged when Durandal slapped him away, so now Stan is just an ordinary cat that can absorb Honkai energy, speaks a little cat language, and has a lively inner world.

"Kid, what's your name? Can we talk?" Jiuxiao hovered in front of the armed puppet Kevin, trying to resolve the issue peacefully.

"Herrscher..." The armed puppet Kevin raised the Destroyer in his hand and pointed it at the Nine Heavens, his icy face revealing no emotion. "I will not give the Second Divine Key to you, much less to a Herrscher."

"Hey, you bastard, the Herrscher doesn't eat your rice..."

"Nine Heavens, get out of the way!"

Upon hearing Durandal's shout, Jiuxiao turned to the side. Then, Durandal's powerful javelin whistled as it struck the armed puppet Kevin, slamming him onto the riverbank.

"Yulandel, I'm still negotiating." Jiuxiao looked helplessly at Yulandel beside him.

Durandal spread her hands, shrugged, and said regretfully, "The negotiations have failed, haven't they?"

"Skyfire, unsheath."

During the brief pause in the conversation between Jiuxiao and Durandal, a massive beam of fiery energy, powerful enough to instantly incinerate a small island, hurtled towards them.

"Queen!"

The attack speed of the Heavenly Fire was too fast, so Durandal immediately stood in front of the Nine Heavens and summoned Queen to block it.

Even if she were the Queen, she would be utterly powerless against the Heavenly Fire's massive attack range.

"Let me do it."

Jiuxiao patted Durandal on the shoulder, flashed in front of Durandal, and stretched out his hand towards the energy beam of the unsheathed Heavenly Fire.

"Grasp of the Void!"

hum-

The blazing energy beam unleashed by the Heavenly Fire, along with a large area of ​​surrounding space, was directly swallowed by Jiu Xiao's black hole, compressed into a ball of liquid flame energy the size of a baseball and stored in his hand.

Jiuxiao looked at the energy ball in his hand for a moment, then threw it at Kevin, the armed puppet who was charging towards the two with his sword raised.

"Never seen such a hot energy ball before, have you? Here, it's yours!"

"Ah--!"

The armed puppet Kevin deflected the energy orb with a single sword strike, but Durandal's spear immediately pierced his body.

"Jiuxiao said he's returning it to you, you can't refuse! Drink—"

Durandal picked up the armed puppet Kevin from the gun, spun him around twice, and flung him toward the energy ball she had just tossed into the air.

"Queen!"

Durandal summoned the Queen to shield herself, while the armed puppet Kevin and the energy orb exploded in a massive explosion.

boom--

The energy released from the heavenly fire created enormous waves on the Thames, and the massive shockwave swept over all the buildings along the banks.

The jackal was also blown away by this. If the jackal hadn't been far away, the rabbit would probably have tagged her again.

As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, according to the law that smoke doesn't cause injury, the armed doll Kevin appeared to be unharmed.

However, the armed puppet Kevin consumed a considerable amount of energy in order to withstand this attack.

Sensing his remaining energy, the armed puppet Kevin drew his sword and charged at Jiuxiao and Durandal once more.

Jiuxiao took out the Star Sword and clashed with the armed puppet Kevin.

"Little one, we're not bad people, we can talk!"

"There's no need. My duty is to protect the Second Divine Key and annihilate anyone who tries to seize it."

The armed puppet Kevin bent his knee and kicked Jiu Xiao's sword, using the reaction force to create distance between himself and Jiu Xiao, while simultaneously blocking Durandal's thrust.

"The radiance of royal power!"

Durandal activated the gamma particle thrusters on her armor, and after three consecutive thrusts, she unleashed the thrusters at full power. Propelled by the full jet thrust of the thrusters, Durandal, with the armed puppet Kevin on top of her, charged towards the ground, carving a trench several tens of meters long.

Just as Durandal and King were about to deliver their final blow, the armed puppet Kevin unleashed a massive beam of flame that shot into the sky, forcing Durandal to retreat out of the intense heat.

"All Spirits Descend".

Jiuxiao pointed downwards at the armed puppet Kevin, and then the entire Thames River was lifted high, the river turning into countless water dragons that rushed towards the armed puppet Kevin amidst the flames.

The armed puppet Kevin swung his sword, shattering several water dragons, and then unleashed another Heavenly Fire at Jiuxiao, who was hovering above the water dragons.

"That move is useless, Void Grip."

Jiuxiao reached out and compressed the energy beam of the Heavenly Fire back into a ball of light, then prepared to return it to Kevin.

"What about people?"

"Nine Heavens, the Second Divine Key!!" Durandal shouted to remind Nine Heavens while activating her thrusters to fly at supersonic speed toward the Second Divine Key to stop the armed puppet Kevin.

The armed puppet Kevin calmly watched Durandal and Nine Heavens rush towards him, then with a single sword strike, he plunged the Heavenly Fire, which had degenerated into its ordinary greatsword form, into the engine of the Second Divine Key.

boom--

The carriages of the Second Divine Key, Thousand Realms, began to detach and then self-destruct. Finally, a massive spatial portal opened beside the locomotive, emanating a tremendous energy surge and an irresistible suction force.

The cataclysmic destruction could no longer be sustained, and the energy of the armed puppet Kevin was also about to be exhausted. It could no longer continue to fight against Jiuxiao and Durandal, so it would carry out its master's last mission: to destroy the Second Divine Key and fall into the Sea of ​​Quanta along with it.

Now, the door has been opened, and the Second Divine Key and the Armed Doll Kevin have begun to enter through it.

"That guy's going to destroy it if he can't have it! We have to get the Second Divine Key back before the door closes!"

"There's no time to explain. I can move freely in the Sea of ​​Quanta. I'm going to bring back the Second Divine Key!" Durandal gritted her teeth and then accelerated toward the door opened by the Second Divine Key.

"No! This is too risky. Your power can only last for three minutes now." Rita's panicked voice came through Durandal's communicator.

“If we don’t do that, won’t all our efforts be wasted?” Durandal hung up the call with Rita, then nodded to the smiling Nine Heavens…

Wait, why is Jiuxiao laughing...?

"Since your power is risky, then let me do it. I am the child of the sea!"

Jiuxiao smiled and gave Yulandel a peace sign before rushing through the door.

After entering the door, Jiuxiao grabbed the Second Divine Key and flew towards the door with it.

However, at this moment, Jiuxiao felt something pulling at him in the Sea of ​​Quanta, not wanting him to leave.

Jiuxiao turned his head and glanced around, but saw nothing. However, when Jiuxiao turned his head again, he saw someone he hadn't expected.

"What's wrong? Can't you pull it?"

Durandal flew to the side of the Nine Heavens and together they activated the Second Divine Key.

"It's not that it can't be pulled, it's just... Durandal, how did you get in here too?"

"Hmph, I don't like waiting. Hurry up, the door's about to close. Hah—"

Durandal turned her head, activated the gamma particle thrusters, and propelled the Second Divine Key toward the door.

"alright."

Jiuxiao took one last look at the Sea of ​​Quanta, then together with Durandal, dragged the Second Divine Key out the door.

As she was about to leave, Durandal pointed to Kevin, the armed puppet who had floated to the side of Jiuxiao.

"Jiuxiao, look at that guy, take him with you!"

"I almost forgot about this wretched guy, let's pack him up and take him with us!"

In this way, Destiny successfully obtained the second Divine Key, which was now reduced to a locomotive, and the armed puppet Kevin, who had lost its energy and fallen into a deep sleep.

Chapter 220 Untitled

As the saying goes, every gain has its loss. Just as Otto obtained the second Divine Key that he had been longing for, he lost the funding for Destiny and also his beloved sequel to Kallen Fantasy.

Because... Jiuxiao stirred up most of the Thames River, and Durandal, with her armed puppet Kevin, plowed the land everywhere, causing the river to evaporate and destroying riverside buildings...

The three men almost completely destroyed Tower Bridge and the surrounding area... The Thames River is also facing a host of problems such as water shortage, river diversion, and soil erosion.

In addition, most of the river water was evaporated by the power of the armed puppet Kevin, and the people of London were hit by a torrential downpour that lasted for several days...

"Your Excellency, the budget is running out. How about we cancel the sequel to 'Karen Fantasy'?"

Amber handed Otto the expense report, but Otto didn't even want to look at it; some things are better left unseen…

"Amber, you've said all that... do I still have a choice?" Otto held back his tears of heartache, unable to press the confirmation button on the approval form for a long time.

Amber sighed, carefully and considerately holding Otto's hand and helping him press the confirmation button.

"Your Excellency, there's one more thing. Durandal is requesting payment for her wages from the past few years. Durandal says she wants to renovate her house and convert two-thirds of it into a cat house... Should we reject that request?"

"No... I don't agree." Otto closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. Some of his money had flown away again. "But remember to tell Durandal to convert one room into a cat house."

Amber nodded, picked up a large stack of approval documents, and prepared to leave, but after taking a few steps, she turned back.

He spoke hesitantly and somewhat embarrassedly.

"Your Excellency, there's also... Jiuxiao has applied for funding to bring Kiana, Mei, and Huihuo to London for a while. How much funding should be allocated?"

"How much funding?!" Otto stared wide-eyed at Amber in disbelief. "Amber, shouldn't you have just rejected this outrageous request?!"
