Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

.........

Soon after, Iselin put down her notebook and looked at herself on the monitor.

In the real world, Iserline, relying on the ancient weapon—Pemilis—connected to the Sacred Mark space of the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple and entered this world…

Because Iselin exists in this world, the existence of the real Iselin and the Stigmata Iselin resonated with each other, and their memories and existence merged together to become a new Iselin.

Meanwhile, another troublemaker barged in... Anzu.

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

Not long after, Jiuxiao, along with Penglai Temple Jiuxiao and others, caught up with the Hyperion.

Since Mei and Kiana have both left Earth, there's no longer any need to worry about Herrschers attacking them. They can simply wait for the Death Mark in the sky to erupt and destroy everything...

"Why are there a few more... I don't think Janna is the type to eat random things..."

Jiuxiao stood in front of Iselin, watching the furtive and flustered Iselin.

"Jiuxiao, what are you saying? Please make way... I have something to discuss with Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple."

Iselin's guilty gaze darted around. Having received the memories of the original person, Iselin was completely bewildered by the existence of Jiuxiao...

Why is there a male Jiuxiao?! Is the subconscious mind of Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple playing such elaborate tricks?!

And they're throwing these black holes around like they're free! Welt would have been completely drained just throwing out a black hole a few thousand meters deep! Give the First Herrscher some face, will you?!

"I sense you're thinking something rude..."

"Ha...nothing like that...hahaha."

"Alright, Iselin, stop pretending. I can tell at a glance that your presence is different now..."

"You can tell that? I thought that since our habits and behaviors are all the same... no one would notice."

"You're overthinking it... If it were the original Iselin, she'd definitely been dragged away by someone to help others by now, she wouldn't have time to run around here..."

"Hehe... I knocked Emisha out..."

Iselin scratched her head sheepishly. Because of the urgency of the situation, she knocked out Amisa, who had come to her for help, with a wrench, and then ran all the way to find Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

"What is the actual situation?"

"That's not a good idea... I'll tell you when we get to Jiuxiao at Penglai Temple, so I don't have to say it again later."

Chapter 312 The Stigmata won't harm itself, right? Raiden Mei, and Horaiji Kushou?

Because of the previous outburst of power within his body, which had caused him to fall into a coma, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao has now calmed down the power within his body and has regained consciousness.

Iselin and Jiuxiao entered Jiuxiao's room at Penglai Temple.

"Because of time constraints, I'll keep this explanation brief..."

"What do you want to say? What happened before?"

Penglai Temple Nine-Shō is a little confused about the current situation. Her memory only goes back to the moment Kiana appeared, and then she fell into a coma.

"Hōraiji Kyuu, in order to save Kiana and Mei, you forcibly fused the core of the Second Herrscher with yourself..."

The world we live in now is an illusion, a dream created by several sacred marks intertwined within you, the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple.

This Changkong City, on the verge of destruction, is the cage that binds you, and this lingering human civilization will never exist again.

At this very moment, in the real world, you are on the verge of death, your body is being eroded by the Herrscher core and is in imminent danger. My mission is to pull you back from the brink.

Based on my observations of this world over this period of time, your consciousness has already merged with this place. This world itself is a reflection of your body, which is your Sacred Mark Space.

This place is both an illusion and reality. Remember that dead spot in the sky? When the collapse within you reawakened, the dead spot was also reactivated.

This means that when the dead spots erupt, when this world is eroded and destroyed by the Honkai, your life will also come to a true end…

"Wait, wait, let me sort this out first, there's a lot of information..."

Houraiji Kyusho interrupted Iselin, whose mind was still a little confused. With her memories gradually returning, the matter of Kiana and Mei, and now what Iselin was saying, Houraiji Kyusho was a little overwhelmed.

However, seeing Jiu Xiao's calm and composed demeanor, Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao felt inexplicably at ease. Since her brother wasn't in a hurry, why should she be?

"Brother Jiuxiao, aren't you shocked by this?"

"What's so shocking? I already knew this was the Sacred Mark Space; I have one myself. But I'm still a little shocked, after all, I didn't expect your Sacred Mark Space to be so complex..."

When Jiuxiao was swallowed by Janna, he could already sense that his Stigmata Space had connected to the Stigmata Terminal, which meant that the Stigmata Terminal was hidden inside Janna's body...

"But it's somewhat different from mine... My world allows the existence of Stigmata consciousness, which is why Stigmata Kiana was born... But the world you inhabit, the Stigmata space, is more like a soul space... These individuals are merely manifestations of soul existence; they are not true souls, but they can influence true souls..."

Iselin's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. What kind of nonsense was Jiuxiao spouting? Couldn't he have used some more academic or professional terms? Never mind, that's not important. Let's deal with Jiuxiao's matter at Penglai Temple first, and then discuss the issues of the Sacred Mark Space and the Soul World!

"Jiuxiao, what you're saying is quite confusing, but there's no time to deal with that now. Since you all have a general understanding of these things, let me tell you about my opportunity."

"Uh...actually, I still don't understand what you two are saying...I need to..."

Before Penglai Temple Nine Heavens could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Iselin.

"Sorry, I know this might confuse you... but time is running out, so let me finish explaining the plan."

As I said before, the world is a microcosm of your body, and all changes are inevitably related to your physical condition.

According to the logic of this world, when the Great Collapse comes again and destroys everything, your body will be completely eroded by the Honkai energy, ultimately leading to death.

Therefore, the only way now is to stop the Honkai energy from spreading within your body, that is, to prevent the dead spots from absorbing enough Honkai energy.

Jiuxiao: "This is a bit difficult... The Honkai energy scattered in the air now all has owners, and even as a Herrscher, I find it difficult to control this Honkai energy. If I use my own Honkai energy, it may increase the total amount of Honkai energy in this world, making the situation even more complicated."

Iselin: "Gulp... It's not that complicated. Our goal is actually quite simple. Because all the Honkai energy within Houraiji Jiuxiao's body originates from the absorbed Second Herrscher Core. In the real world, the Herrscher Core has become one with Houraiji Jiuxiao's body and cannot be separated."

But everything here has been materialized, so I think the core of the Second Herrscher must be somewhere in this world.

As she spoke, Iselin took out her tablet, which contained a lot of data recorded by the original Iselin. It's a pity that two identical individuals can't exist in one world; only one of the two Iselins can exist, otherwise, Iselin would definitely have had a good chat with her…

Iselin: "In this episode, Mei drained the Honkai energy in Changkong City, creating a Honkai energy vacuum zone. Logically, the recovery of Honkai energy is not a regular increase, but in some areas, it shows a situation that is higher than the average. So I think there must be something emitting Honkai energy there, and maybe the Herrscher core is there."

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens, eager for a fight, jumped off the bed.

"Iserline, you've said so much, I have so many questions I want to ask! But... anyway, let's just find the core first, right?"

"Well... for now, all we need to do is find and destroy that core. After that, we'll just have to adapt to the situation..."

"Should we include Bronya and the others? Or just the three of us?"

"Just the three of us. Himeko is still unconscious, and the Flame Chaser are in a state of panic. They need Bronya..."

I also found an assistant... although she's not very reliable, her combat capabilities should be fine... she's waiting for us in the distance on the Hyperion.

Let's hurry up and get going. Xing must be getting impatient waiting outside... First, I'll investigate whether there's a Herrscher core in that anomalous area.”

"Wait a minute. If it's just about finding the core of the Second Herrscher... there's no need to investigate further. I might know where she is."

Jiu Xiao closed his eyes and sensed a location not far from Changkong City.

Jiuxiao originally thought that since the world already had two Herrschers, Kiana and Mei, it would be normal to have one more Herrscher. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the Herrscher who was releasing energy without any concealment.

But now it seems that there are big problems with that person... According to the information Iselin gave, that Herrscher is the Second Herrscher!

Jiuxiao could sense that there were several real people in this world: the semi-conscious Kiana, the world's master, Houraiji Jiuxiao, Jiuxiao himself who was passing by, and...

Second Herrscher - Sirin

Chapter 313 Are you there? Open the door so we can beat you up.

Because Jiuxiao was able to pinpoint Xilin's location, the group decided to take Xing, who had entered the Sacred Mark Space with Iselin.

But when they arrived at the place Iserlyn and Anne had agreed upon, all the three heard were explosions and the maniacal laughter of a madman…

"Die, you scum!" "Too weak, too weak! Isn't there anyone stronger?" "Die, you piece of trash! Ahahahaha—"

Grandma Xing would tear the Honkai creatures to shreds with her distorted field one moment, and then suddenly throw out a few grenades to blast them all into the air the next. That carefree, confident, maniacal smile on her face… oh no, she's even more insane than the Xing from my own world.

That alluring waist, I'm licking it!

"Ugh... that guy actually made such a big commotion." Iselin complained, speechless.

Seeing Iselin approaching, Xing stopped her killing spree.

Seeing that Xing had turned around and was looking at her, Iselin immediately shouted angrily at her.

"Hey! Didn't I tell you to wait for me quietly? What are you doing?! And where did you get those clothes?! Didn't I tell you not to have any contact with them?!"

Xing interrupted Iselin impatiently, glaring fiercely at her.

"What's all the noise about! I'm just warming up here, is that a big deal for you, Iselin!"

"No... well, never mind... this is the helper I was talking about, Anne Mar. You've seen her strength; she's quite good as a henchman..."

After being glared at fiercely by Xing, Iserline didn't want to argue with Xing anymore. If she did, Xing would just rush up and beat her up.

"Hmph, huh? I just realized, how come there are two Jiuxiao?"

Xing circled around Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao twice in confusion, then put her arm around Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, showed her healthy smile, and gave a thumbs up.

"Bronya's opinion of you is quite good. I didn't expect you to be so subconsciously manipulative! But I'm relieved, at least your sexual orientation is normal, and you won't compete with me for Bronya and Seele!"
