Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

"Headmistress Theresa, you chose to run away back then... why are you running out to stop us now? Or have you already joined the Herrscher's side?"

Bronya looked coldly at Theresa. Bronya wasn't a Valkyrie, but she had studied at St. Freya for a time. Therefore, Bronya also harbored resentment towards Theresa.

The Valkyries were created as weapons to fight the Honkai. After Otto's tragic death, everyone was waiting for Theresa to take up the mantle, but Theresa escaped...

The Valkyries, leaderless and bewildered, were accustomed to obeying orders and following instructions. Having experienced the chaos of the Great Collapse and lost their leader, they were easily slaughtered by Kiana, like wheat.

If Himeko hadn't rallied them and led them away, those Valkyries might still be foolishly waiting for Theresa's return...

"Think what you want, but I will never let you kill each other again and repeat the tragedy of the Great Collapse."

Theresa reached out and grabbed the two Judah spears, assuming a fighting stance.

Jiuxiao jumped down from Kukulkan's head and stood in front of Theresa.

"Auntie, you should know... you can't stop me."

"I know. But if you want to see Kiana, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

Theresa swung her spear, swept it across the ground, and then soared into the sky.

Why bother…

Jiuxiao grabbed the spear that was thrusting at him, pulled hard, snatched the spear from Theresa's hand, and then kicked Theresa away.

Theresa spun twice in the air, adjusted her posture, used the force of the sky to propel herself back up as she landed.

Bronya and Houraiji Jiushou fired a barrage of shots at Theresa, which Theresa easily dodged. Some bullets were even caught in Theresa's hand and thrown back at Bronya and Houraiji Jiushou.

Theresa didn't want to hurt them, but because of Jiuxiao's presence, Theresa knew that to stop them, she had to go all out from the start.

But that's still not enough. Even with their full strength, they're no match for Jiu Xiao, not to mention there's more than just Jiu Xiao now...

Kukulkan slammed his tail into Theresa, creating a crater tens of meters wide in the ground.

But then, Kukulkan felt something grab his tail from underground…

Theresa was slammed into the ground by Kukulkan's tail whip, but she also managed to grab Kukulkan's tail.

With her feet firmly planted in the ground, Theresa grabbed Kukulkan's tail and spun around, swinging the hundreds of thousands of tons of Kukulkan at Jiuxiao and the others.

(Don't question Kaslana's superhuman strength; Kevin withstood the black hole, and Kallen used Judah to bind the Glorious Covenant and pull it out of the black hole... No matter how you look at it, it seems utterly absurd.)

I feel a little bad for Kukulkan, but blame him for not eating heavy enough so Theresa could lift him up...

Jiuxiao leaped up and kicked Kukulkan in the back, sending it flying out of Academy City and out of the atmosphere. Since it didn't want to face Kiana anyway, it might as well get lost.

"? Isn't that guy one of your companions?!"

Theresa was stunned. According to her expectations, shouldn't Jiuxiao have done everything in her power to shield and save Kukulkan from Penglai Temple? How come she kicked Kukulkan away, and it seemed like she broke his spine with that kick...

However, Theresa couldn't care less about that now. Exerting the force of hundreds of thousands of tons and lifting something weighing hundreds of thousands of tons are not the same thing. Theresa exhausted herself in this, basically killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of her own.

Looking up at the stars in the sky, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple thought that the brightest and largest one must be Kukulkan.

"Brother, is that guy alright?"

"Don't worry, I roughly estimate that its core has at least thirty parts, it won't die. Let it fly out of the atmosphere and get some sun, maybe it'll be even more powerful next time we see it."

Jiuxiao picked up the Star Sword and walked to the panting Theresa, planting the sword in front of her.

"Rest assured, the tragedy of infighting during that Great Collapse will not repeat itself. This is a battle between me and Horaiji Kusho, and you... are merely witnesses to this battle..."

"?"

Theresa tugged at her shawl, feeling that Jiuxiao's joke was a bit lame.

She looked up, about to question Jiu Xiao about his confidence in fighting against the End Kiana, when she saw Jiu Xiao reach into his pocket and pull out a limited edition Apocalypse baseball bat.

clang--

Jiuxiao raised a baseball bat and knocked Theresa unconscious with a single blow to her head.

Products from Tianqi are guaranteed to be of the highest quality, specializing in the concept of Sacred Marks.

Kiana is a Stigmata Consciousness, and Theresa and the other beings also belong to the Stigmata Consciousness in this Stigmata Space of Penglai Temple. So no matter who you are, as long as you are a Stigmata Consciousness, you will fall down with one blow.

Jiu Xiao picked up the petite Theresa. In the five years following the Great Collapse, Theresa had also endured much suffering…

In Jiu Xiao's memory, Theresa weighed 38 kilograms, but now she probably only weighs 30 kilograms, and Theresa also reeks of alcohol...

It seems people eventually become the kind of person they hate most. Theresa hated Himeko's daily drunkenness, but now Theresa has become an even bigger alcoholic than Himeko...

My alcohol tolerance hasn't improved at all; I get drunk after just one sip, and start acting crazy after half a glass...

Then Jiuxiao led Penglai Temple Jiuxiao and others to Theresa's lair in Academy City.

When Jiuxiao came before, Kiana wasn't here, so the spatial distortion and dense fog caused by the collapse of Academy City weren't severe, and Jiuxiao could easily find the location of Chiba Academy.

But now, it's already quite good if you can still find Theresa's old nest—the wine cellar—just by feeling it.

Chapter 304

This is the place of beginning and end, an eternal prison and grave that torments sinners.

The fog and spatial confusion made it difficult to find one's way and cause one to lose sight of one's goal.

Seele and Bronya are exploring in the mist, carefully avoiding Honkai creatures and marking their way through the fog.

But as they walked past a street lamp, the space instantly shifted, and they returned to their starting point.

Just then... Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao had obviously also missed their target and ended up back here.

Xi'er and Jiu Xiao greeted each other.

"Uh...it looks like we're back to square one again, this is the first time in dozens of years...Jiuxiao, have you guys made any progress?"

"No, the space here is too chaotic, and the spacetime turbulence is too severe."

Let's stop exploring for now. After so many attempts, I'm sure you've all realized that these nodes are distributed without any pattern, and there's a very high chance you'll step on multiple nodes at once...

Marking the route along the way was also ineffective; the Honkai creatures would immediately destroy the marks we made once we left.

“Yes, Jiuxiao is right. I drew out the routes we took every time… but even though we took the same routes, we ended up in different places.”

If we just blindly explore like this and try to find the right path, it might take six to seven times..."

Bronya handed the notebook in her hand to Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao to look at.

The drawn routes are densely packed, like a ball of yarn that a cat has chewed on...

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens took out her own hand-drawn notebook, which was clearer than Bronya's...

There are just too many wires, and they're all tangled together, forming a huge black stain...

Seele peeked over and shook her head helplessly.

"It's getting dark, and the Honkai creatures will start to become active. Shall we go back to Theresa's cabin, rest a bit, and then make our plans?"

"Hmm, this is a good opportunity to check if Aunt Flo has woken up yet. If she has, I'll give her two more sticks."

"You're so filial..."

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

Inside the safe house, Theresa, clutching the bump on her head, jumped off the bed.

She talks about her period all the time, but when she hits a baseball bat, she's absolutely fearless.

I, Theresa, no longer have a nephew named Jiuxiao!

The Judas spear by the bedside has been repaired by Jiuxiao once again, and the spear that Mei broke before has also been remade by Jiuxiao, bringing the number of spears back to thirteen.

The space of Academy City has been destroyed and distorted. It took Theresa several years to figure out how to navigate it. Jiuxiao and the others will definitely not be able to find the right path in a short time.

Weapons can be destroyed, but they can also be repaired. But a broken heart and a destroyed world can never be restored to their former state.

There's no need to create any more sadness; let's all just live peacefully until the end of the world...

Theresa shouldered the oath of Judah, pushed open the door, and went to stop Jiuxiao and the others!

Then she froze, because Jiuxiao and the others were sitting on the sofa in the living room, while Bronya was in the kitchen preparing dinner for everyone.

"Oh, Auntie, you're awake! What a coincidence, dinner's almost ready."

Jiu Xiao raised his arm and waved to Theresa, signaling her to come over quickly.

“I’m not your aunt!” Theresa frowned, looking a little angry, but still walked over to Jiuxiao and sat down.

"Didn't you go looking for Kiana? Why are you in my house?"

"The space is too messy, and we can't find our way around. So we're going to tidy up at my aunt's house first."

Seeing Jiu Xiao's grinning reply, Theresa really wanted to punch him in the face.

A group of people wanted to kill their own child and then took over their home with a grin.

"Sigh... Why do you all have to kill Kiana? This world is already beyond saving. Wouldn't it be better for us to find a safe and peaceful place and live a good life until the moment of our destruction?"

"Who knows? I don't know what other people think, or even what I think myself."

Jiuxiao thought for a moment, then shrugged. The world was beyond saving, but so what? Everyone rushed headlong into that nonexistent flame of hope, burning themselves out.

The fire has already been lit, so even if you don't add more firewood, you shouldn't try to put it out.
