Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Teaching her how to use Honkai energy would be putting the cart before the horse and a waste of time. It would be better to teach her how to use black holes later.

"Ha, what use is a black hole? A powerful black hole is also accompanied by a huge size, and if you want to defeat an enemy like Kevin or Yutu, the black hole would have to be at least a stellar-mass black hole."

You could create such a black hole, but the only result would be that Earth and even the solar system would be affected, and then we would all perish together.

Apocalypse scoffed at this. Black holes may be powerful, but if they are only micro-black holes, they are not so effective against high-end combat forces. As for black holes of stellar size or above, they are nothing more than a foolish move that kills a thousand enemies while losing ten thousand of your own.

"So I'm not playing with black holes anymore. It's purely a detector of strength. For weak enemies, black holes will shatter at the slightest touch, while for powerful enemies, micro black holes are ineffective."

Besides, compared to these powers... I still prefer to just slash with my sword.

Jiuxiao took out the Star Sword and tapped the blade with his hand, producing a crisp sound.

"What was that saying again? Right, right, 'All royal blood must end with the sword.'"

Tianqi reached out and grabbed Jiuxiao's sword, then with a slight effort from two fingers, easily broke it in two.

"Rubbish…"

Tianqi tossed the Star Sword aside like trash, then, before Jiuxiao could react, he ran back into his body.

A moment later, a series of cries echoed from Jiuxiao's room, resounding throughout the entire base.

"No—my Star Sword!! You died a terrible death..."

(Happy birthday Kiana on December 12.7th~)

Chapter 258 Flames Composed of Black Holes

Jingle bells, jingle bells—

With a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds, the slumbering Penglai Temple Nine Heavens awoke once more.

My head is throbbing terribly, with a strange swelling sensation. My head is so itchy… Oh no, could it be that knowledge has invaded my brain?!

Upon seeing that Penglai Temple Jiuxiao had awakened, Jiuxiao stopped forging stars and poured a cup of hot water for Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, who was overwhelmed by knowledge beyond comprehension.

"Relax, headaches are normal. I felt just as dizzy as you the first time Lao Yang explained things to me..."

Back then, I thought creating a black hole by hand was easy, but I didn't expect the sea to give me such powerful strength. Normally, a Herrscher would either be exhausted or die trying to create a black hole..."

(Eden's Star can create simulated black holes as long as it has energy, and Eden himself is a fusion warrior with overflowing energy, capable of creating miniature black holes with a single shot. However, the resulting black holes are not very powerful.)

“Uh, I’ll say it again, I can’t create a black hole either, so why bother researching these things? Also…” Penglai Temple Jiuxiao took the water glass, took a sip, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother, you're a Herrscher!"

"Bo!"

Jiuxiao covered Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's mouth, nervously looking around to make sure no one was listening.

"I'm not from this world. I came here by chance. Don't reveal that I'm a Herrscher. The Herrscher destroyed this world, and the hatred the survivors have for the Herrscher is immeasurable. If I'm exposed, although they can't kill me, I estimate we'll be sleeping on the streets the next night."

"Okay... but even so, I still can't release a black hole!"

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll definitely be able to release it later."

"I see... After listening to your explanation, I was thinking that since a black hole that is too big is not feasible, why can't we make a very small black hole?"

Just like that sesame seed-sized thing you mentioned before, as long as it's small enough, the energy consumption for its generation will be small enough... then we can assemble it into a weapon capable of launching black holes!

Penglaiji Jiuxiao looked at Jiuxiao with excitement, then Jiuxiao rolled his eyes, took out a casually shaped Eden Star from his pocket and placed it in Penglaiji Jiuxiao's hand.

"Someone already thought of that. Here, the sphere I gave you is called the Star of Eden. It's a divine key I created using my powers. As long as it has enough energy, it can release a pseudo-black hole and manipulate gravity, among other things. I'm giving it to you as a reward for coming up with this useless conjecture..."

"Hehe, looks like that guy is just as smart as me."

Penglaiji Jiuxiao pinched the ethereal, light blue Star of Eden, then tested its power on the bed beneath him.

hum-

puff-

Under the crushing force of Eden's Star, a hundred times its normal gravity, the bed shattered, and then the suspended Penglai Temple Nine Heavens crashed heavily to the ground.

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens & Nine Heavens: "..."

"But you are right, what would happen if the mass of a black hole were shrunk smaller and smaller? That is a topic worth studying."

"Right, right! If we could shrink black holes down to the molecular or even quantum level, and there were enough of them... a flame made of black holes would be so cool!"

Jiu Xiao reached out and flicked his head on Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao's forehead, shattering the scene that Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao was excitedly looking forward to.

"Releasing black holes is not difficult for us who can manipulate gravity, but compressing and controlling them at the molecular or even quantum level is a different story..."

"With the blessing of the sea, I can do it, but for you, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, such precise control and energy release would be tantamount to squeezing your life out of you."

"Brother, what you're saying is so cool. Of course, such a move is only worthy of being used when one's life force is being burned!"

Penglaiji Jiuxiao turned around, raised his cloak, then bent his right hand and raised it high in front of his chest, revealing the End Cross on the back of his hand, while his left hand was stretched out and half-clenched in front of him.

Implosion Soul Burning - Fatal Echo!

"Such a cool move deserves a cool action to match~ I just haven't decided on a name for it yet..."

"You idiot, you were just saying you couldn't unleash a black hole, and now you're already thinking of names for your moves..."

This unnamed move might actually bring Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao to her end someday if she were to use it.

Although it's a bit of a fantasy and metaphysics, this is too ominous... Jiuxiao pressed down on the left hand that Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple had extended, and pulled her to his side.

"If one day you really manage to compress a black hole to the quantum level and unleash a flame composed of countless black holes, then before using that technique, why don't you try calling my name... As your older brother, how could I possibly choose to let you burn your own life!"

"Haha, look how nervous you are, how could that be... I can't even release a black hole, how could I ever have a day like that~"

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao chuckled dismissively, then reached out and lifted the corner of Jiuxiao's mouth again, making his expression no longer show that worry.

"Besides, even if that day really comes, I can just create a stellar-mass black hole and explode along with the enemy. Hehe, creating a stellar-mass black hole is definitely easier than a flame composed of countless quantum-level black holes, right?"

"Hmm, who knows?"

At this moment, Tianqi, who had been listening to the conversation between the two while staying in the Nine Heavens Sacred Mark Space, curiously stretched out his left hand in front of him.

.........

While talking with Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, Jiuxiao suddenly felt as if his soul had been struck by something heavy, and then countless unknown things began to be torn apart and devoured...

His vision went black, and he fainted in front of Jiuxiao at Penglai Temple.

.........

"Holy crap, this is a disaster."

Inside the Sacred Mark space, Apocalypse's divine face was now filled with a human-like panic.

Not for any other reason than to have just casually tried to understand the flame composed of countless quantum-level black holes that Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple had mentioned…

They were currently burning and devouring wantonly in the sacred space of the Nine Heavens, swaggering around. Apocalypse waved his hand and annihilated them, but the damage they caused was not easy to clean up.

The Nine Heavens Stigmata are different from the Stigmata in the "Honkai Impact 3" world; they belong to the "Honkai Impact 2" world.

The Sacred Mark Space is not the Soul World, but the Sacred Marks can influence and manipulate the Soul World. This means that if Jiuxiao's Sacred Mark Space is attacked, his Soul World will also be damaged.

Normally, the Stigmata Space cannot be destroyed, except for self-harming attacks by the Stigmata owner...

Because the Stigmata Space was destroyed, the administrator of the Stigmata Space was forced to be born (awaken).

After Kiana, who had just awakened, learned about the situation through the Stigmata, she rolled her eyes at Apocalypse with a hint of helplessness, and then immediately began to repair the Stigmata space in the Nine Heavens.

Chapter 259 Cemetery...Where is this?

The moment the Stigmata Kiana appeared, the Divine Kiana, who was immersed in the world created by the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple and unwilling to awaken, opened her eyes.

At the same time, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple also fell into a coma.

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

Both of the Nine Heavens have fallen into a coma, the cause being a certain entity within their respective Sacred Marks...

And now these two entities have met.

Using the Stigmata Kiana as an anchor point, the consciousness of the Divine Kiana was directly projected into the Stigmata space in the Nine Heavens, and looked at the nightmare, Apocalypse, which was frantically repairing the Stigmata space through the eyes of the Stigmata Kiana.

Upon sensing the arrival of the Divine Na, Apocalypse was no longer flustered. He sat on his throne, smiling and waving to the Divine Na.

"Oh, so that coward who only knows how to run away has finally woken up?"

"I've been awake the whole time."

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

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao returned to that academy. Mist shrouded everything, but she knew that person would be waiting for her at the end.

I haven't had this dream in a long time, and I no longer feel as lost and inferior as I did the first time.

She started running, running towards the finish line, eager to see the sad girl.

Perhaps this time too, I won't be able to wake her up, but at least I should know her name.

But this time, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple did not see the girl, nor did he reach the destination.
