Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

“No…she’s not Kallen.” Otto shook his head at Kiana and said, “She’s just a virtual personality that has developed self-awareness. Kallen’s memories make her believe that she is Kallen.”

I can't save her, because she's just virtual data. If you really want to save her, you should delete her data, reset everything, and stop her from suffering the pain of reincarnation.

"Impossible! That would be the same as killing Kallen!" Kiana gripped Kallen's hand tightly; she couldn't accept the answer of deleting the data.

"I told you she's not Karen. Fine, anyway, this space has no reason to exist anymore, do whatever you want with it."

Otto was no longer interested in the existence of this virtual backyard; it was merely a place to constantly remind him of his past mistakes and his obsession with reviving Kallen. He now had a direction for saving Kallen: if he could successfully master the power of the Herrscher of the Void, he could go to the Imaginary Tree and revive the real Kallen.

Chapter 80 Zero Rated Power - Virtual-Real Conversion

"By the way, the physical feedback in this space is actually real. If you die, you really die. If Jiuxiao weren't here, you would probably still be dead in the mouths of the Honkai Beasts. As for your bravery... here's a reward for you, the Valkyrie armor you've been longing for."

Otto waved his hand, and a virtual screen appeared in front of him. After clicking a few times on it, then...

Kiana began to emit white light, and data boxes appeared around her, displaying progress bars.

"ACCESS ACCEPTED".

"Items are being airdropped."

It's loading.

"Loading complete."

White Knight Moonlight

Afterwards, Kiana was covered in a pure white Valkyrie armor, the prototype fourth-generation Valkyrie Godslayer Armor - White Knight Moonlight.

"If you want to save her, then do your best. I'm leaving now." After watching Kiana finish equipping herself, Otto waved to Jiuxiao and then disappeared into the data space.

Otto wasn't particularly interested in whether Kallen was alive or dead, but he was very satisfied with Kiana and Jiuxiao's decision to save her.

Otto was particularly envious of the strength Jiuxiao displayed in defeating the Honkai Beasts. If only someone had possessed such power five hundred years ago, capable of turning the tide... how wonderful that would have been. Otto shook his head regretfully; alas, no one did...

The White Knight Moonlight was originally made by Otto for the Kaslana family. If Durandal regains her memories and decides to reclaim the name of Kaslana, then Otto will give her this Valkyrie armor engraved with the Kaslana family crest.

But Kiana's actions prompted Otto to reward her, so he gave Kiana the White Knight Moonlight.

As for Durandal, Otto thought it would be better to just customize a new set; the name Bright Knight Moonsoul was quite good.

Kiana clenched her fist after equipping the new armor. It truly lived up to its S-rank Valkyrie armor name; Kiana felt she could now defeat Theresa, and even...

"Nine Heavens! Nine Heavens! I feel like I could kill my dad with one punch right now."

"Siegfried is so lucky to have such a powerful daughter like you..." Jiu Xiao pinched Kiana's cheek. After equipping this set of armor, Jiu Xiao could clearly feel that Kiana's domain strength had increased dozens of times.

Unfortunately, these armors are no longer useful to him, otherwise Jiuxiao would have asked Otto for another set.

"Alright, let's discuss how to save Kallen... Bronya, do you have a plan?" Jiuxiao released Kiana's face and asked Bronya.

"I'm sorry, this space has already begun to collapse. Time is too short, Bronya can't help you." Bronya looked at the data frame and then shook her head regretfully. "We must leave before the data completely collapses, otherwise we will also be deleted as an anomaly during the data restart process!"

"How could this be..." Kiana clenched her fists. The armor granted her almost limitless power, but she found that this power was of no use to Kallen...

"It's alright, this is enough. You should leave; there's no need to risk your lives for me. It's just a cycle of death and reincarnation; I'm used to it..."

Kallen pulled Kiana and Jiuxiao up, pushed them to Bronya's side, and then waved goodbye to them with a smile.

"Stop fooling around. I said I'd save her, so I'll save her." Jiu Xiao grabbed Kallen's hand and said seriously, "Kiana, don't be nervous when you see anything later."

Since I can't do it through normal means, I'm going to resort to some illegal methods next.

Cortana! Fully unleash your computing power!

"Level 1 clearance confirmed, command accepted, target locked: 'Kallen Kaslana,' insufficient energy..."

Then Cortana silently appeared in front of Jiu Xiao, her hands passing through his chest. Jiu Xiao smiled at Cortana, then his eyes lost their light.

Jiuxiao is dead.

Kiana hadn't even had time to react to what was happening before two large holes were ripped open in Jiuxiao's chest, blood gushing out. Cortana, however, remained in the position of piercing through Jiuxiao and began to continuously drain Jiuxiao's life force.

"Nine Heavens?!"

Kiana screamed in terror, then instantly transformed into rage. Honkai energy erosion patterns instantly appeared on Kiana's body, her eyes changed from ice blue to golden yellow, and one spatial portal after another unfolded behind her, within which appeared countless Void Spears.

But before Kiana could attack Cortana, a tremendous amount of energy erupted from Jiuxiao. In an instant, the world changed, and the space where the execution ground had been was completely transported to a void.

This is the Sea of ​​Quanta!

But Jiu Xiao, who should have died, regained his light.

"Cough cough cough."

Resurrected Nine Heavens suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from Cortana's face, then forced a smile at Kiana and said, "Kiana, don't worry... I'm fine."

Kiana teleported to Jiuxiao's side, and a spatial spear blasted Cortana away. She picked up the fallen Jiuxiao and said, her voice trembling with tears:

"Are you kidding me? How could nothing happen! My upper body... your chest has a hole bigger than my head!"

"Alright, alright... Time is limited, I'll explain to you after we're done... Trust me." Although Jiuxiao was a little unfamiliar with Kiana's appearance, he decided to put his doubts aside for now, because time was indeed very tight.

Kiana hesitated for a moment, then said to Jiuxiao, "My other half, you better not be lying to me. If I wake up and find you gone, I'll make the whole world pay for it."

After saying that, Kiana fainted and collapsed.

"Oh dear... it seems Kiana is hiding a secret too..." Jiuxiao quickly picked up the unconscious Kiana, then walked to Cortana's side and pulled the Void Spear off her body.

"You'd better explain this to Kiana afterwards. I don't want her to drag me into this again next time we meet." Cortana looked at Jiuxiao speechlessly. Why am I the one who gets beaten up for your terrible idea?

"Alright, alright. Are you ready, Cortana?"

“Come on, we should have enough energy now.” Cortana nodded.

Then the two of them shouted that sentence in unison.

"Zero rated power - virtual-real conversion!"

The energy of the Quantum Sea began to converge on Jiuxiao, who then transmitted this energy to Cortana through his own body. Large streams of data began to flow through Cortana's eyes, and her entire body began to glow. Then, the completely bewildered Kallen, not far away, also began to glow.

Karen's virtual data body is beginning to transform into a real, flesh-and-blood body.

Chapter 81 Black Xi and White Xi are both Xi

Existence can be rewritten, reality and illusion can be transformed. This is the power that Nine Heavens Laws gained after transforming Cortana into its "companion beast."

The zeroth rated power—the virtual-to-real conversion—can only be used when Cortana's computing power is fully deployed and it possesses an extremely large amount of energy.

This requires an enormous amount of energy; even draining two or three Herrschers like Jiuxiao wouldn't be enough. Fortunately, Jiuxiao has two powerful fathers...

The sea also granted itself a blessing, just like Seele's death rewind, directly reversing time and altering the fact of its own death.

Jiuxiao's plan was precisely this resurrection. Although the death reversal was achieved through the power of the sea, making it an almost invincible buff, during the resurrection process, the power of both the tree and the sea would flow extensively through Jiuxiao's body. Jiuxiao relied on the Holy Mark to plunder this energy to open a passage through the Quantum Sea.

Then, by utilizing Cortana's zeroth rated power through the inexhaustible energy of the Quantum Sea, Kallen's transformation between virtual and reality can be achieved.

Relying on suicide to reach the Sea of ​​Quanta, Jiu Xiao felt incredibly foolish. If there were no other way, Jiu Xiao would never have resorted to suicide to use the zeroth rated power. This was merely a desperate measure due to time constraints.

However, since the cooldown for his resurrection would be over in a few days, Jiuxiao wasn't bothered at all.

Afterwards, he still needs to explain to Kiana, Bronya, and the stigmata on his hand, so they won't blame him for being frivolous. And then there's Cortana... This might create a rift between Cortana and Kiana, which is giving Jiuxiao a huge headache.

But it's good that things can be resolved. Touching the marks on Kiana's body caused by the Honkai, Jiu Xiao felt a pang of heartache...

"Silly girl... I told you not to rush things no matter what happens..."

Jiuxiao kissed Kiana's forehead, then prepared to leave with the unconscious Kallen and the dumbfounded Bronya.

"Hmm? No, that's not right. Bronya, do you want to see Seele?" Just as he was about to leave, Jiuxiao suddenly remembered that since he had brought Bronya to the Sea of ​​Quanta, why not let her see Seele before leaving?

Upon hearing Seele's name, Bronya immediately forgot about Kallen, whom she had been pondering. She grabbed Jiuxiao firmly and said:

"Yes! Bronya really wants to see Seele again!"

"Then wait for me... I'm not sure if I can contact Seele yet..."

Jiuxiao clasped his hands together and began to mobilize the blessings of the quantum sea within his body. Just as his perspective shifted from third-person to first-person, Jiuxiao's consciousness began to rise, directly observing the quantum sea from a full-view perspective.

Originally, Jiuxiao could not feel the blessing on his body at all; most of the information about the sea's blessing was conveyed to him by the Holy Mark.

But this time, the energy of the sea and the tree surged into his body again during the resurrection, allowing Jiuxiao to clearly feel the presence of the blessing.

The world of the Quantum Sea has no boundaries; space and time are meaningless. This is a space of souls and wills, where the Nine Heavens and Seele, blessed by the sea, can change according to their will as long as it is strong enough.

"Found her." Following the unseen guidance in his heart, Jiuxiao found Seele in a desolate world. "Take care of Kiana and Kallen, I'll go pick up Seele."

"Yes, Bronya will take good care of them. Make sure to bring Seele along..."

--------

Jiuxiao nodded, then took a step forward, his figure instantly disappearing from Bronya's sight. His foot landed, and he appeared before Seele.

Xier, with her back to Jiuxiao, was unaware of his arrival.

She watched intently as the bubble world she inhabited gradually collapsed. She had witnessed many bubble worlds perish, but she had never seen one rise to new life...
