Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

"Seele, no!"

Not only Seele and Bronya, but many others, thinking they were going to die anyway, confessed their feelings to those around them.

Over these five years of despair, pent-up emotions have finally erupted today.

Although Jiu Xiao is the only male among them, gender has never been an issue. The camaraderie forged through five years of life-and-death battles has transcended ordinary love.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, this art style isn't quite right.

Himeko, who was patrolling the warship, froze in place after seeing everyone's condition.

Just yesterday I was fixing my gear, thinking about going to have a showdown with Mei, how come today it's a silver party?! Is it because today is Christmas?

"How about... I find one too!"

Himeko lowered her head in deep thought. She had been wanting to find a man for so long, and if she were to die in battle without a man, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

As she pondered, Himeko walked to the gates of Kyushu and Horaiji Kyushu and knocked on them.

"Himeko? What's wrong?" Jiuxiao opened the door and looked at Himeko.

Himeko looked Jiuxiao up and down. His figure was not bad, but when she saw Jiuxiao's "zombie makeup" face, Himeko immediately sobered up.

"waste."

Himeko glanced at Jiuxiao with disdain, then turned and left.

"???"

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

The night before marching into Changkong City, Jiuxiao sat on Kukulkan's head and looked at the stars in the sky.

Kukulkan lay on the ground in thought for a long time before finally speaking.

"Boss, are you guys going to fight the Herrscher?"

"Ah."

"Can I not go?"

"why?"

"I'm afraid of death."

"You shouldn't die, right?"

"I'll die... if the Herrscher of the End makes a move..."

"Okay, then you don't have to go."

"..."

"..."

Neither the man nor the dragon spoke for a long time.

"I'll take you to Changkong City... and then I'll leave."

"Ah."

"At most, I'll help you fight the Herrscher of Thunder. But as soon as the Herrscher of the End appears, I'll run away..."

"Ah."

"Boss, stop just saying 'uh-huh'! You're scaring me."

"What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid, but you're scared. Fight if you want, or stay here. This is the world's war of rebellion against the gods. The right to choose is in your own hands. I'm not forcing you."

"Roar--"

"Stop yelling, everyone's resting."

Rest... but actually very few people can actually sleep.

Although they said they had defeated the Herrscher, they were still very scared inside.

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

The next morning, everyone composed themselves and gathered on the deck of the Hyperion.

This was the last chance to choose one's fate, but thankfully, no one chose to back down.

Having chosen to go all out, there were no more grudges between them. However, Bronya was unaware that she had fired a gun at Mei, so she still did not choose to resume her leadership role.

Apart from Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, everyone else was carrying anti-Honkai explosives on their backs.

Even Iselin had several bags of explosives strapped to her by Emisha, and only now did Iselin realize one thing: all those people asking her to modify weapons and make explosives were ultimately trying to get her into a suicide squad! But why drag her into it too?!

Standing atop Kukulkan, Jiuxiao and Penglaiji Jiuxiao issued their final order to attack, facing the faintly visible outline of ME Corporation in the distance.

Kukulkan spread his wings, propelling the Hyperion into the air as it headed towards ME Corporation.

The Hyperion underwent some modifications by Iserline. While it couldn't be transformed into an atomic bomb, its final self-destruction was estimated to have the explosive power of 2 tons of TNT. Blowing Changkong City into the sky was unlikely, but taking its Honkai creatures with it was certainly possible.

Jiuxiao also gave everyone an Eden Star self-destruct grenade version, which is much more powerful than the previous Jiuxiao Little Grass brand grenade.

It's fair to say that if Mei were to be careless and fail to use Honkai energy for defense or transform into an element, a single lightning bolt could potentially send her to her death.

Chapter 301 Kiana, the Herrscher of the End

Kukulkan landed on the overpass of ME Corporation with his warship.

The two behemoths, Kukulkan and Hyperion, were quite a sight to behold in the sky. The moment they arrived at ME Corporation, Raiden Mei appeared before them.

Raiden Mei looked at the group of Fire Moths with a puzzled expression, muttering to herself.

"Why...? Why did you come back? I already gave you a chance to live, why did you come back to die..."

Nine Heavens, Penglai Temple Nine Heavens, Himeko, Seele, Bronya, Amisa, Iselin and the others, stepped off the warship one after another and stood in front of Raiden Mei.

Jiuxiao and Penglaiji Jiuxiao exchanged a glance, then said to Raiden Mei:

"Because this world can't be saved, even if you escape from here and continue to struggle to survive, you'll only be adding to your suffering."

"It seems you understand that no matter what you do, the outcome cannot be changed. So you've chosen to come back and let me free you?"

"No, I'll drag you down with me!"

As soon as Jiuxiao finished speaking, everyone behind him immediately raised their guns and opened fire on Raiden Mei.

Although these guns had been enhanced and modified by Iselin, making them extremely powerful, even with their power, they were still unable to penetrate the Honkai Field, let alone break through Raiden Mei's defenses.

The bullets were completely disintegrated into atoms and disappeared within a meter of Raiden Mei, without even touching the hem of her clothes.

Mei raised her hand, conjuring a ball of lightning the size of a bowl in her palm.

"It was all in vain... and you all..."

boom--

A gunshot interrupted Raiden Mei's mutterings and shattered the lightning orb she was about to unleash.

"In vain? Not necessarily. I'm sorry, Mei-neechan... I won't hold back this time."

Bronya stood before the crowd, spear in hand, coldly watching Raiden Mei in the air, the icy spear still emitting white smoke.

"I really admire your drive..."

Raiden Mei waved her hand and unleashed three bolts of lightning, one towards Bronya, one towards Kukulkan, and the last towards the remaining people.

Bronya didn't dodge, but simply raised her spear and fired at Raiden Mei again. As for the bolt of lightning that shot towards them... Seele flashed in front of Bronya and cleaved it in two with her sword. The lightning struck on either side of them and exploded with a bang.

The lightning struck Kukulkan directly. Kukulkan did not dodge, but simply spread his wings to protect the Hyperion from the lightning attack.

Kukulkan roared, gathering energy from his chest to his throat, and unleashed a dragon breath of energy at Raiden Mei.

The lightning bolt aimed at the main force was caught by Jiuxiao using the Void Grip, and then thrown back to Raiden Mei.

At the same time, Kyuu-sho, Himeko, and Houraiji Kyuu-sho, each wielding a greatsword, charged towards Raiden Mei.

Raiden Mei calmly extended her left hand to create a shield, blocking Bronya's shot and Kukulkan's dragon breath. Then, she drew her Thunder Soul Katana with her right hand and used a quick draw slash on Houraiji Kushou and Himeko, repelling them both.

Then Raiden Mei gripped her swords with both hands to catch Kushou's downward slash, but it was clear she couldn't withstand the blow.

A heavy sword has no edge, and a heavy sword has no skill.

With sheer power, Jiuxiao smashed Raiden Mei off the bridge above Me Company, through the solid roof of Me Company's building hundreds of meters high, and drove her deep into the ground.

"Earth-shattering Star."

The underground soil and rock were mobilized by Jiuxiao, layer upon layer enveloping the lightning bud. The soil tens of kilometers underground was compressed by Jiuxiao into a solid spherical celestial body with a diameter of 500 meters.

With the Honkai energy of the Nine Heavens suppressing her, Mei can't escape from the Heavenly Star for the time being.

At this moment, Kukulkan rushed over, using its tail, which was several hundred meters long, to wrap around the celestial body formed by the Earth-Exploding Star, pulling it at supersonic speed towards the sky.

Jiuxiao reached out and altered Kukulkan's gravity, causing it to accelerate faster and faster. Finally, as it burst out of the atmosphere, Kukulkan rotated 360 degrees around the sphere and suddenly flung the celestial body, encased in a lightning bud, towards the Earth's surface.

Jiuxiao altered the surrounding force field again, increasing the gravitational velocity experienced by the celestial bodies by dozens of times. Then, Jiuxiao had everyone board the Hyperion and threw it into the sky to prevent Penglai Temple, Jiuxiao, and the others from being affected by the aftershocks of the falling meteorite.

The explosive power of an atomic bomb containing 20,000 tons of TNT could flatten a city in the Far East; a meteorite with a diameter of 370 meters impacting an island in the Far East is equivalent to 150 Little Boys exploding simultaneously…

Jiuxiao doesn't know how powerful the 500m diameter meteorite launched by Jiuxiao and Kukulkan in their "Earth Drop" mission was, but it's estimated that it will return to the seabed in the Far East.
