Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Jiuxiao: "If we lose hope in our hearts, it is tantamount to being destroyed. There is still a glimmer of hope in the hearts of mankind, so we choose to use our bodies as torches to carry this flame of hope and then ignite the tower called despair."

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens nodded. "Yes, brother is right. If this world has lost hope, then I will bring new hope back to this world. Because we are the saviors, the saviors of light."

"Ha, naive. Do as you please... When the spear of the end falls from the sky, and all things turn to ashes and vanish, I hope you won't regret it..."

Theresa simply smiled self-deprecatingly at what Jiu Xiao and the other person said.

I witnessed the Great Collapse myself. Kiana's final strike, the Final Cross, pierced the Earth's crust and disrupted the mantle. The massive impact caused the entire planet to tremble violently and even deviated from its orbit…

Sudden changes in surface temperature, a massive earthquake, fog obscuring the sun's rays—countless natural disasters erupted simultaneously...

Both Earth's creatures and the Honkai beings underwent a great purge at that moment.

Earth, plagued by disasters

Theresa didn't understand how she had survived, or even why ordinary people could survive. But since she had survived, she should cherish her life!

Let Jiuxiao fight if he wants to. Even if he can really fight Kiana, the Herrscher of the End, the aftershocks of their battle would be enough to destroy the Earth several more times over.

They thought they were protecting Kiana from harm... but they were wrong. They were actually stopping them from delivering food to Kiana.

As long as the Honkai exists, Kiana will neither be injured nor perish, because... she is the Honkai.

"What's Aunt Flo thinking about, so engrossed?"

"Nothing... I was just thinking, after you keep calling me 'Auntie,' should I go and burn incense at your grave in the future?" Theresa spread her hands and stuck out her tongue.

"???" Jiu Xiao stared wide-eyed at Theresa in disbelief. "I called you Auntie, and you curse me to die?"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely outlive you. Seriously though, let's not wait until decades from now when my kids are all grown up and you're still this tiny little thing!"

Chapter 305

When Bronya and Seele finished cooking and Bronya came to call everyone to eat, they found Theresa had fainted again and was lying on the sofa, while Penglai Temple Jiuxiao was holding the "Apocalypse Brand Limited Edition Baseball Bat" that Jiuxiao had previously possessed.

Bronya glanced at Theresa's two overlapping buns on her head, and her eyes held a hint of relief as she looked at Penglai Temple Nine Heavens.

It seems that Seele has taught well; even the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple now understand the principle of striking hard on someone else's wounds.

"What... so far, the headmaster is still choosing to stop us from fighting Kiana?"

Jiu Xiao awkwardly patted Theresa's head, then looked at the even more embarrassed Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao and gave her a knowing look.

Putting down the baseball bat in Penglai Temple's hand was not an option, nor was hiding it behind his back.

“I made a mistake… Brother Jiuxiao was joking with Theresa earlier, and then I saw Theresa suddenly get angry and raise Judas to hit Brother Jiuxiao, so I gently tapped Theresa… and that’s how it happened.”

Hmm… I tapped her lightly. Bronya looked at the bump on Theresa's head and couldn't believe it was caused by a light tap.

"Never mind, although I don't know why a baseball bat could knock Theresa down, Theresa is tough, this little injury will be nothing..."

The headmaster's little house is quite well-stocked. Seele and I cooked a really big meal. Come and eat!

Jiu Xiao examined Theresa's condition and estimated that she wouldn't wake up anytime soon. The injuries themselves wouldn't be serious, but given Theresa's already small brain, it was uncertain whether it would be affected.

But that's not important, making rice is what matters.

"Yay!" Penglaiji Jiuxiao threw down his baseball bat and ran happily into the kitchen.

With delicious food, who cares about the unpleasantness before? Anyway, Jiu Xiao had already hit Theresa several times, so hitting her a few times himself wouldn't be a big deal.

"I've been fed all sorts of Honkai Beasts by Jiuxiao lately, and finally I can have a proper meal. This is... amazing!"

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao devoured the delicacies on the table, enjoying the exquisite food. The young girl ate while tears of emotion streamed down her face.

"Eat more if it's delicious." Xi'er placed a bowl of meat soup in front of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, then clapped her hands with a smile and said to her:

"What's that saying again? Right, the last meal of your life should be a good one, that's what they call the 'last meal before death'~"

"Cough cough cough..."

Jiuxiao, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, and Bronya, who were eating, almost choked to death by Seele's words.

Bronya reached out and pinched Seele's nose, pulling her to sit down next to her.

"Silly Seele, don't joke like that..."

Seele made a face, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile, "Hehe, I was just trying to liven things up a bit~"

"You were very active, but don't be so active next time. In such nice weather, your words are making me feel a little chilly..." Penglaiji Jiuxiao shrugged and put his shawl on.

Jiuxiao took a couple of bites of rice, then, as if remembering something, said to them.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you..."

Don't think you're doomed... Although my abilities are limited, I certainly won't let you die before I die.

Although we might look like a suicide squad, recklessly going to our deaths, it's actually quite safe... Kiana doesn't intend to attack us, and we're not really going to hunt her down..."

"We've come this far prepared to die. And now you're telling us we weren't going to fight Kiana to the death?" Bronya slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and roared at Jiuxiao.

"What's the point of competing... To put it bluntly, apart from me and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, the entire world combined wouldn't be enough to withstand one slap from Kiana."

Moreover, the current Penglai Temple at Jiuxiao...

Jiuxiao looked towards the direction of Penglai Temple.

Startled by Bronya slamming her hand on the table earlier, he accidentally spilled the soup in the bowl and almost lost his grip on the bowl.

Seeing that Jiuxiao was talking about him and looked over, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

She claims she can fight Kiana of the End? Don't be ridiculous, she can't even beat Mei right now… I don't know why Brother Jiuxiao keeps giving her such high praise…

But what my brother means is...

"You mean I'll be the key to defeating Kiana?"

"I don't know, but if this world is truly your creation... then theoretically, with the power of this world, you could rival Kiana."

"Uh... but I can't feel anything, and this world feels completely foreign to me..."

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked at his hands. This was probably the true reaction of everyone who was told that they had hidden power in their body.

Jiuxiao: "Hmm... because this world is made up of many interwoven forces. So if we want to know what's going on, we can only go to Kiana, or wait until you regain your memories."

"Wait, wait... what are you saying? I can't understand you anymore..."

Xier waved her hand, signaling Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao to look over and stop talking about riddles.

After carefully examining the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple from top to bottom, Seele and Bronya both fell into deep thought.

Because no matter how you look at it, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's dazed appearance doesn't seem like that of a powerful person... Could it be that she was invincible before she lost her memory?

"Wait... So Jiuxiao, you kept trying to kill Kiana, tricking us into coming here, only to get answers from her?!" Bronya grabbed Jiuxiao's collar and yelled angrily at him.

Nine Heavens changed the will to live of the Fire Moths. Although everyone now understands that they can't defeat the Herrscher and therefore don't want to come and die, they all think that even if they die, they will take the Honkai creatures with them.

"How could it be that simple... After the battle with Me, I was still angry and wanted to press my advantage and fight Kiana again to shake her will and bring her back to her senses."

But when I calmed down and thought about Kiana's situation, I realized that Kiana had been perfectly lucid the whole time...

You were there when Kiana appeared last time, didn't you notice her condition?

Kiana stopped the battle between us, transferring all the damage to herself, and even tried her best to restrain her Honkai energy to minimize the impact of the Honkai on everyone.

Bronya, shouldn't you have realized this a long time ago?

Kiana is already practically a god. Even the mere thought of Kiana's name would instantly be corrupted and assimilated by Honkai, turning ordinary people into Honkai creatures. Let alone you who constantly chant Kiana's name…”

Jiuxiao: "Such a gentle Kiana... if she could, how could she possibly let Death Spot hang high in the sky, constantly destroying the life of this land..."

I predict that even if Kiana is killed, the Honkai won't end, the Death Mark won't disappear, and the world will still be teetering on the brink of destruction.

Chapter 306 Some memories returned, not much, but enough.

I had that dream again…

We've come to this place again...

Are Kiana and Mei arguing about something?

"Mei...why are you in such a hurry for a result?"

"Since the outcome cannot be changed, what's the point of waiting... Everything is irreversible, so we should treat them as enemies and bring them relief. Any extra mercy will only bring more suffering."

"Mei... I just want to spend this time with you quietly. Since the world has given us this opportunity, why..."

"That's just your own idea. I'm not as selfish as you. If you still want to play the sinner in this world, go ahead, but you can't redeem everyone, not even yourself."

Kiana, this pointless thing should have ended long ago. If you can't bring yourself to do it, then I'll end this meaningless dream for you.

"Mei, you can't beat Kusho... Continuing to fight like this will only hasten the destruction of this world."

"Yes, I can't beat him, but I don't need to fight him. He's just like you, a passerby in this world. I'll end the suffering of those insects first, and then deal with him."

Mei glanced at Houraiji Kusho, who had returned to this dream and stood before them, then turned and left.

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens asked Kiana in a low voice, who remained where she was.

Are you two arguing?
