Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

bang——

Half an hour later, Jiu Xiao and Otto were sitting peacefully in the hallway.

Jiuxiao looked troubled as he pondered how to meet everyone at St. Freya Academy, while Otto was thinking about how many punches his steel-faced man had taken.

"Would you mind telling me what happened during the days you disappeared in the Sea of ​​Quanta? We need any data about the Sea of ​​Quanta, no matter what it is."

"I went to a very, very far place and met some very kind and strong people..."

There's not much to say about these experiences, but I did gain some understanding of Stigmata. Although they're not the same as the Stigmata we know, they lead to the same goal, and we can learn from each other. I'll submit a report to you later on what I've learned.

Jiuxiao's tone suddenly turned serious as he turned to look at Otto.

"Also... Otto, do you even know what Honkai is?"

"Collapse..."

When Jiuxiao asked such a serious question, Otto immediately became serious as well.

"You should know that we know nothing about Honkai... It can be a form of energy, or it can be a rule. It can be used by us, or it can destroy us in an instant."

I don't know what it is, and I have no interest in knowing. All I need to know and confirm is that the Honkai is controlled by some kind of being… and if we truly want to defeat the Honkai, we must also defeat that being that arbitrarily controls it.”

Jiuxiao: "Hmm..."

Otto: "What? Suddenly you're asking what Honkai is? Did you discover anything different in the Sea of ​​Quanta?"

Jiuxiao raised her hands, both of which displayed two energies of the same color but with different fluctuations. Her left hand displayed the Honkai energy of the current world, while her right hand displayed the Honkai energy of the world of Houraiji Jiuxiao and her companions.

"Honkai energy... this kind of material energy that exists in countless worlds, but the meanings they represent are completely different."

While the Honkai energy that exists in our world may appear to be causing destruction and annihilation, it is in essence constantly driving the evolution of life on Earth... It grants us the ability to manipulate Honkai energy, allowing us, as mortals, to stand shoulder to shoulder with the stars.

But that's not the purpose of the collapse...

This widespread collapse gives people time to develop and respond, and after the situation becomes irreparable, it destroys everything, then rebuilds civilization on that basis, repeating the same behavior.

This means that the collapse is highly purposeful; it's a process of biological selection within civilization...

The Honkai energy I encountered during this time travel has a completely different meaning from the Honkai energy in our world.

It is disordered, it expands, it assimilates; it strips material things from the material hierarchy, allowing matter to exist in another universe like a soul…

"Replacing material existence with soul existence? Getting rid of material existence means that things like Feather Dust that manipulate consciousness can no longer affect it?" Otto lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought.

"Here you go. I bet you'll be interested in studying this."

Jiuxiao threw the collapse of the world of Penglai Temple and Jiuxiao's world in front of Otto.

Otto was so startled by Jiuxiao's sudden action that he jumped up.

"Nine Heavens! You just threw something this dangerous at me like that?!"

Otto looked at the solidified Honkai energy crystal on the ground with lingering fear, afraid that he might have been erased from the material world by Jiuxiao if he hadn't been careful.

"What's there to be afraid of? I've already taken it out, doesn't that mean I can definitely control it?"

Jiuxiao picked up the Honkai energy crystal from the ground and patted it into Otto's arms.

"Besides, even if I accidentally wiped you out, you would only lose a soul steel body, while I wasted a full three seconds of condensed and compressed Honkai energy crystals!"

"Hehe, it seems you've been through a lot during your disappearance, even your personality has become a bit unconventional."

Otto manipulated his Soul Steel body, creating a special area to envelop the Honkai energy crystal.

"However, the properties of Soul Steel can still work against the Honkai energy of the other world, and it can still be used to isolate Honkai energy. Since that's the case, things become simpler."

Chapter 337 was classified as being at the End of Dharma level because its upper limit was only at the End of Dharma level.

“I really like this gift. Is there anything you would like to give in return? You can choose anything I can provide.”

"Really? Hehe..." Jiuxiao immediately revealed a strange smile when he heard Otto say that.

"Looks like you're going to ask for an exorbitant price. Don't worry, I'm the archbishop, I can handle anything... Stop! What are you doing! Don't grab me!"

"Hand over this Soul Steel body! I need Soul Steel!"

"If you need Soul Steel, wait for me to send you the approval slip and have Amber deliver it to you! Why are you bothering me?!"

"Unprocessed soul steel is useless to me, and besides, the soul steel you give me is definitely not as valuable as the one you use yourself! I want this one!"

"My fists are hard now. If I could kill you, I definitely would."

"It's good that you don't have blood pressure anymore, otherwise I would be worried that you might develop high blood pressure."

"you you you!!"

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

A group of researchers surrounded the place where Kukulkan used to sleep, carrying various equipment.

While sleeping, Kukulkan felt something touching his skin, tickling him, and strangely comfortable, like a massage…

"Dr. Changguang, even the high-frequency cutting blade failed to break through Kukulkan's defenses."

"Is that so... This is so troublesome... Why is there not a single easy-going member of the Nine Heavens? Last time, that bird burned down my lab, and we can't extract any tissue from this dragon for research."

Changguang sighed, then took out a round stick several meters long.

"We have no choice but to resort to some illegal means; let's sacrifice ourselves for scientific research."

Changguang raised his long stick and poked it into the gap in Kukulkan's dragon mouth, prying out a passage large enough for a child to enter.

The other researchers, looking as if they were ready to die, took various instruments and drilled into Kukulkan's mouth.

Hungry? There's food to eat? Kukulkan, still asleep, felt something enter his mouth and was unsure whether to swallow it.

Strange... This smells like a human, doesn't it?

Ok?

people!

Kukulkan suddenly woke up and vomited up all the researchers he had been eating.

These scoundrels are trying to kill me! If Jiuxiao finds out I eat people, he'll kill me. Besides, I'm the god of civilization, the god of my family, how could I possibly eat people?

Kukulkan glared at the mortals below. Even in his most wretched state, he was still a god, and he would not tolerate such insolence from mortals.

"Roar!" (What do you want to do!)

Changguang and the others looked at each other in confusion. They couldn't understand what the Honkai Beast was saying either, but it should be able to understand what they were saying, right?

Changguang shouted, "Take some of your body tissue; we need to conduct some research on a new species like you."

"Roar!" (Study your big head, you idiot.)

Kukulkan flapped his wings, flung off the research equipment on his body, and flew away from the Destiny headquarters.

After Kukulkan left, the researchers who remained were stunned for a moment, and then immediately burst into tears and howled like ghosts.

"No! My analyzer!" "My resonance generator..." "It's all over, all over... I couldn't afford to pay for this even if I worked for another 200 years..."

Chang Guang adjusted his glasses and jotted down a series of rough data about Kukulkan on his laptop.

"A defense that even high-frequency system weapons cannot penetrate, coupled with the largest known Honkai Beast besides Chi You, and this exceptionally powerful Honkai energy reaction..."

This is far beyond the level of a regular Judgment-class Honkai Beast, so should we classify it as an End-of-Day Honkai Beast? But... can we really measure this guy using Honkai Beast ratings?

(The End-of-Dharma Class also belongs to the Judgment Class Honkai Beasts, but the Judgment Class has special abilities, so it is classified as the End-of-Dharma Class.)

Kevin has already far exceeded the category of Honkai Beasts, but he is still classified as a "Doomsday Class," so it's estimated that there will be no further rankings; the "Doomsday Class" is the highest level.

"Huh... Jiuxiao can summon End-of-Day Honkai Beasts! Does that mean he can also command ordinary Honkai Beasts!"

Changguang's eyes lit up instantly. There are many experiments that cannot be done by human effort alone, but if it's a Honkai Beast...

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Jiu Xiao carried Otto's Soul Steel Body out of Heimdall Laboratory. After a series of fierce battles, Otto finally withdrew his consciousness from the body and "handed over" the Soul Steel Body to Jiu Xiao. However, the price was that Jiu Xiao gave Otto a few more Honkai Energy Crystals from another world.

Huihuo has Sabayou, Kiana has the Key of Domination, and Mei will use Jizo Soul... Looking at it this way, it seems that only Bronya needs to use Soul Steel, right?

No, no, back when Jiuyou was there, Ji Lin distributed the power of the Xuanyuan Sword to everyone, and Bronya's Heavy Bunny was also given the Soul Steel attribute.

In this case…

Jiuxiao first broke off Otto's hands and feet, then rubbed a handful of Creation Key Black Abyss White Flower, and then threw the remaining Soul Steel to Cortana.

"You said last time you wanted to compete with Otto for Soul Steel, so this time I'll go with you. Here, take this and upgrade."

"Hehe! Master, I love you to death!"

Cortana excitedly hugged the now-human-shaped Otto, ran to the side, and then raised her Skyfire Sword, stabbing it into Otto's chest, melting his Soul Steel body.

Then, extract the useful materials and soul steel from them and integrate them into your body to upgrade yourself.

"It's alright, Jiuxiao; if there's trouble, it's Master."

Jiuxiao pursed his lips and prepared to return to his cottage in Destiny to pick up Huihuo and take him back to St. Freya Academy.

Halfway there, the screens in every corner of the Destiny headquarters suddenly lit up, and Otto's figure appeared on one of them.
