Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

I'll give you my coordinates; try to open a door and take Xing away. Now that the black hole has appeared, Jiuxiao's plan must begin. Take Xing with you; Jiuxiao needs you and Xing!

Chapter 326 Power is meaningless if it's not something to be borrowed.

"Help? My only mission is destruction..."

Kiana, the Herrscher of the End, stood there blankly, her eyes filled with confusion. The world had been destroyed, and her mission was complete, but she felt a deep sense of sorrow and pain.

"Is your mission destruction? No, no, no, Kiana, do you still remember why you accepted the mission of destroying everything?"

What you desire is to break free from this predetermined fate, to free all living beings from the control of the Honkai and the Stigmata Terminal. Destruction has never been your mission! It is your way of saving the world!

"Heh, it doesn't matter anymore. Whether it's destruction or salvation, in the end I still failed... I couldn't control this power and messed everything up, and even killed the person I loved most."

Kiana gently stroked the Thunder Soul Greatsword, causing it to glide with a bright purple light. The light flashed, and the Thunder Soul Greatsword transformed back into the form of Raiden Mei.

"In the end, I couldn't even destroy the Stigmata Terminal, and my physical body was directly annihilated by Janna, leaving me as a remnant soul wandering through various Stigmata spaces..."

Although her lifeless eyes still showed deep sorrow, they now held a touch of human warmth.

"Whether in the past or now, there's nothing I can do... How can someone like me possibly help you...?"

"If you can't do anything, then we can't do anything either."

Jiuxiao chuckled and shook his head, then extended his hand to Kiana.

"This world was created by the combined power of the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple, Sirin, and Kiana. To save this world, the power of any one of you is indispensable."

"...Salvation? The ultimate fate of this world is destruction. Whether Penglai Temple Jiuxiao dies or awakens and leaves this world, the final result is that this world will be directly annihilated and disappear."

It's even more likely that due to the protective mechanism of the Stigmata, Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens won't even have any memory of any of this after awakening..."

Kiana wanted to reach out her hand, but she was afraid of something and didn't dare to.

But Jiu Xiao directly grasped Kiana's outstretched hand, pulled her closer to him, and looked directly into her eyes.

"So you want to end all of this sooner, to avoid causing yourself and everyone else more pain. I understand, Kiana... and everyone else understands too."

But the flame of hope still flickers, so the moth to the flame will forever fight. Since you believe the outcome is irreversible, then… I will completely reverse this unfortunate process and result!

Mei, who had just woken up and opened her eyes, was about to tell Kiana that she was tired and had to go first. But when she saw Jiuxiao holding Kiana's hands, the two looked at each other tenderly. Mei suddenly felt that she was no longer tired and didn't want to die; she could fight for hundreds more years.

Stared at by Mei's resentful little eyes, Jiu Xiao felt a chill run down his spine and shivered all over.

At that moment, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao arrived before the three of them with Xing.

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao had no interest in discussing anything else and went straight to the point.

"Jiuxiao, please use any other methods you have! Xing and I feel like we can't hold on much longer..."

Jiuxiao and Kiana exchanged a glance and nodded.

Then Jiuxiao released Kiana's hand, grabbed Xing who was next to Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, and the two said goodbye to everyone and headed to the center of the black hole.

"Come, give me your hand, Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple. You need my power..."

"You're... trying to help us?"

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens hesitated, unsure whether to reach out or not, and also unsure of what Kiana was about to do.

"Yes, this is a world that I destroyed and you created. Our stigmata have long been closely linked... We are both adversaries and coexistent. From the beginning, there was no distinction between friend and foe."

I once wanted to awaken your Stigmata, but your power was too weak then to fight against the Honkai. But now it's different; you've become incredibly powerful, powerful enough to overcome your own destiny…”

Kiana took the hand of Houraiji Jiuxiao and transferred her power to him through the Stigmata.

By feeling Kiana's Stigmata, through the Stigmata Houraiji Nine Heavens, one can intimately sense Kiana's true emotions and will.

"So this is Kiana's Stigmata... Just as I imagined, it's so warm... Even filled with sadness and regret, it still firmly believes in its ideals and moves forward into the distance..."

"Hehe... Thank you... Jiuxiao didn't tell me he would do this, but I chose to trust you. The rest is up to you. Go and create that future we can't yet see!"

"Ok!"

After receiving Kiana's Stigmata and gaining Kiana's power, Houraiji Kyusho's Stigmata were fully awakened.

With Sirin's certification, Kiana's certification, and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's self-certification, the three's power reached a balance, and the Holy Mark Fusion Soul Burning was born at this moment!

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens can now clearly sense the souls trapped in his own Sacred Mark Space.

This is one of the reasons why Jiuxiao wasn't too concerned about destroying Earth and killing everyone... because even if they died, their souls would remain here...

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens raised his arm: "This is my Holy Mark, and everything within the Holy Mark space should rightfully be under my control! Femilis! Permission granted! Separate this world from the Holy Mark space!"

Femilis: "Got it~ Now it's all up to Femilis!"

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

At the center of the black hole, Jiu Xiao helped Xing suppress the Honkai energy erosion within her body while reaching out his hand towards the black hole.

The stellar-mass black hole gradually stopped spinning, rapidly shrinking to the size of a volleyball, and fell back into Jiuxiao's hands.

The world is known to exist within dimensions of height, length, width, and time, but this seems to have no effect on black holes, which defy all laws…

The next moment, a multicolored, chaotic sphere split off from the sphere. This was the solar system, except that its space had been compressed to the size of a ping-pong ball.

Jiuxiao unleashed another black hole, trapping himself and Xing. Time stop combined with time slowdown—no need to worry about running out of time!

"Xing, we can begin now. It's all up to you now, so you have to hold on."

"Phew...you bastard, you really know how to order people around! Remember to brag about my amazing feat to Seele after this is over!"

Xing clutched her arm, forcing herself to raise her hand and activate Time Stop towards Jiu Xiao and the world in his hand. As she activated her own Stigmata - Chaos Clock, a giant clock appeared behind her.

"puff…"

The clock shattered instantly. Xing covered her mouth and knelt down, blood streaming uncontrollably from between her fingers. She was still somewhat weak...

Because the sphere in Jiuxiao's hand represents the entire solar system. Although Jiuxiao compresses it into a smaller sphere, it still contains the space of the entire solar system. Stopping time in the entire solar system would be too much of a burden for Xing in her current state.

“I sense a fluctuation in time…” Kiana, Houraiji Kushou Mei, and the other two appeared beside An.

"Although I don't know what you're planning to do, I'll help you... With the inscription of the end, I grant you the power to reverse time and make all things eternal."

Kiana placed her hand on Anne's left shoulder, lending Anne the power of the End.

"Time is endless and ever-flowing, space is boundless and eternal; time and space are inextricably linked. I bestow upon you the inscription of space, the ever-changing space, the eternal foundation of all things."

Penglaiji Jiuxiao placed his hand on Xing's right shoulder, transferring the Herrscher of the Void's power to Xing.

When Xing opened her eyes again and stood up, one eye was yellow and the other was red, and time and space echoed in her eyes.

Giant clocks floated around Xing, ticking away...

At the instant when the hour, minute, and second hands overlap.

Weng——

Time stopped.

Anzu couldn't withstand Kiana and Horaiji Kyusho's power for too long, so Kyusho quickly took the opportunity to activate his ability.

Whether it's data or dream illusions, anything that Jiuxiao considers illusory can be rewritten into reality for you!

Existence is its own justification; the ability to switch between reality and illusion is Cortana's ability as her symbiotic companion. But if Cortana, as a symbiotic companion, can do it, there's no reason why Jiuxiao can't!

"Zero rated power—virtual-real conversion, complete liberation!"

Chapter 327 Over the long years, we have reconciled.

The black hole had long ago extracted and compressed all the Honkai energy from the entire world. In an instant, the energy of the Nine Heavens converted all of this Honkai energy into its own, transforming it into an energy that could rewrite reality and illusion.

At the same time, Jiuxiao completely released his connection with the Tree Sea and frantically extracted energy from the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea.

Only when a person truly wants to change the world will they realize how weak their own power is... Rewriting a fictional dream world into a real one is no less than creating the world...

But can it fail? No!

The time stop had ended, and Xing had completely lost consciousness.

The energy suppressed by the time stop erupted instantly, filling the solar system in Jiuxiao's hands in a flash. It caught the power of world destiny off guard, and before it could react, the transformation between reality and illusion was complete...

Within the illusory space of the Holy Mark, a vast real world suddenly appears... The two worlds immediately collide, and the end of destruction is about to occur once again.

"Penglai Temple, Nine Heavens! Quickly!"

With a shout, Jiuxiao handed the sphere in his hand to Houraiji Jiuxiao. At the same time, he placed his hand on her body, lending her his power. Kiana and Mei also realized that the crucial moment had arrived and lent their power to Houraiji Jiuxiao as well.

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens held the solar system, which was the size of a ping-pong ball, in his hands, calling out to Xilin in his heart.

"Cirin, I need your help."

"Of course, my savior. Let's work together to create the wonderful world we envision!"

Xilin's figure appeared beside Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, and together they held up the radiant sphere.

Then, following the method previously taught by Jiuxiao, the two reversed the solar system into Jiuxiao's body, allowing the world that had nowhere to rely on to take root and sprout within Jiuxiao's body.

"Heh... I didn't expect you guys would actually create an ending I couldn't see... A shift between reality and illusion, huh..."
