Collapse City, the beginning of the production of the anime version of Collapse 3

"Mei's character is very important. As the only one of the protagonists who joins the World Snake, she needs to provide the audience with the plot of the World Snake. She has spent so much space on it, it is impossible for her to leave now."

"That……"

"It's possible that it's still Himeko."

Wei Wei suddenly spoke up, shocking everyone with her guess.

"Hasn't Jizi already..."

The word death was so heavy that Kevin couldn't say it.

Velvet retorted.

"I wasn't talking about Jizi herself, but the consciousness in the Herrscher core. Since Walter was able to preserve the consciousness in the Herrscher core, then the Plague Gem is likely to contain Jizi's residual consciousness."

For Kiana, seeing Ji Zi again was more devastating than Bai Yueguang’s sudden return.

"The remaining consciousness will also be difficult to resist Xilin, right?"

Weiwei looked at Kevin as if he were an idiot.

"Who said that Ji Zi's remaining consciousness should be used by herself? That must be to encourage Kiana. Do you understand the protagonist's halo?"

"Will it be too cruel to Kiana?"

The silent Kosmo finally said something, but it made everyone fall silent.

Kosmo became even more silent.

Chapter 410: The struggle for Xilin’s ideas, the pinnacle of literary drama.

[The camera turned, and Kiana came to a strange space with a large mirror in front of her. When she approached, the figure reflected in the mirror was actually Xilin.

Kiana couldn't help but stretch out her hand. When her fingers were about to touch the mirror, there were several shattering sounds and violent cracks appeared on the mirror. The scattered mirror fragments reflected Kiana and the Queen of the Sky.

Kiana stared at the scene in front of her, seeming to realize something.

The Queen of the Sky appears at this moment, with a haughty smile, belittling everything Kiana has done and saying that all her efforts were in vain☆～.

Kiana asked Kong Lushilin why she wanted to help the Ruler of Rule?

The queen was amused. In her opinion, those puppets were just losers and weaklings. How could they be compared with herself? She was willing to give the puppets a chance to enjoy the clown's farce.

"Come on, Kiana."

"This is a theater for only you and me. It belongs only to the winner."

"Just let me dominate you..."

"This is your fate - you can't escape it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Herrscher of the Sky took the lead in launching an attack and started fighting with Kiana. 】

Looking at the fight on the screen, there were no special effects, just a primitive battle, as if it was a reflection of the soul. When the BGM song exclusive to Xilin sounded, the audience couldn't help but worry about Kiana.

Although Xilin is known as the bloated pufferfish and is punished from time to time for her bloating, it is impossible for her to lose in her own BGM... right?

"Xilin and Qiana are fighting..."

Yaqing felt dazed for a moment.

It was as if I saw Kiana and Sirin fighting in each other’s arms when they were little, rolling on the ground for a few rounds, and then ignoring each other for three days.

[As the fight went on, Xilin began to feel a little doubtful.

She didn't understand. I had the upper hand. I had control of my body and the power of my core. Why wasn't Kiana panicked? Not afraid? Not desperate?

Kiana calmly stated that she had known that this day would come sooner or later. She and the Herrscher of the Sky were enemies and that sooner or later there would be a duel that would end everything.

The winner stays, the loser disappears.

There is no possibility of reconciliation.

The Herrscher of the Void taunted Kiana, saying that this body, as a container, was too heavy for her to bear, and that he had to take back what belonged to him.

Kiana was not angry at the ridicule, but asked the Herrscher of the Sky two philosophical questions.

who are you?

Who am I?

"I don't have time to discuss philosophy with you. I am Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, and you are subject K423. This is the answer that has been determined long ago."

"So everything was done by the Herrscher. It's not your responsibility, and it's not your fault. Isn't this your favorite excuse when you and your companions gather together for warmth?"

The Sky Queen sneered.

"Do not."

Kiana closed her eyes and shook her head.

"There is a fact that I was unwilling to admit in the past. Only by accepting it can I make up for the gap in my soul and have the possibility of competing with you."

The heavy BGM suddenly disappeared, and a tense atmosphere immediately spread. The audience even stopped swallowing, and only Kiana's voice was heard in everyone's ears.

"I am you. We are two selves belonging to the same body, two existences born out of Xilin's desire. You and I are both extensions of [Xilin]"]

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked.

"what?"

When Alicia heard Kiana say that she was also Sirin, the surprise on her face almost overflowed.

Before this, everyone thought that Kiana and Sirin were two different individuals.

Even though they are in the same body, in their eyes, Kiana is a warrior fighting for humanity, and Sora is the apostle of the Collapse and destruction of the world.

They should be incompatible, but now Kiana admits that she and the Herrscher of the Void are both extensions of Sirin. How can it not be surprising?

"Ugh……"

Mei sighed.

This result was both unexpected and reasonable. Although I had already guessed it in my mind, I still couldn't help but be surprised when I actually heard it.

"Otto studied many replicas, but only K423 gained consciousness. I'm afraid that was when Sirin, who was immersed in a false destiny, woke up. The phrase "Ichliebe dich" might be a metaphor for Kiana being Sirin."

There are many speculations about Kiana on the Internet. After all, she is the heroine of Honkai Impact 3rd, and the audience will inevitably be curious. Similarly, speculations about Zhen Qi are overwhelming.

"Kiana is Sirin's yearning for a better life, and the Queen of the Sky is Sirin's inheritance of hatred for humans."

Weiwei summarized the clues.

"But this isn't fair..."

Alicia looked lonely.

"If this is really the case, Kiana will have to accept her identity as Sirin and take the blame for the crimes Sirin committed. Kiana... She is a warrior who is willing to sacrifice her life to fight against Honkai. This is too unfair to her..."

Atonement means that Kiana admits that she is an extension of Sirin, and she has to atone for the sins she committed in the past, but she did nothing.

"But Ellie, that's why Kiana was able to fight for the body with the Herrscher of the Void."

All the audience stared at this scene in amazement, including Xilin.

She had always believed that her role in Honkai Impact 3 was replaced by Kiana, but she never expected that from the very beginning, Kiana's role was herself.

It was also at this time that the audience had not yet realized that what was about to happen was an extremely exciting literary drama.

[In the eyes of the Herrscher of the Sky, Kiana's answer was a joke, the nonsense she spoke when she was forced into a desperate situation.

With the intention of watching for fun, the Herrscher of the Sky asked Kiana, since she claimed to be Sirin, how could she fulfill Sirin's wish and destroy the world that Sirin failed to destroy?

Kiana pointed out that this was only the wish of the Herrscher of the Sky, not Sirin's wish. She had seen Sirin's dream, and in the dream there was filthy darkness, but also a glimmer of calm and warmth.

Complex and contradictory emotions intertwined in Xilin's heart, but the Herrscher of the Void could only see the resentment in her heart.

The disdainful smile on the face of the Herrscher of the Void gradually disappeared, and her tone obviously fluctuated. She sneered and thought that Kiana was just looking at some past memories. In that case, she didn't mind chatting with her. 】

"Shall we... begin the debate?"

Everyone in the courtyard became interested.

On the one hand, they hoped that Kiana would lose the debate so that she would not have to bear the sins committed by Xilin.

On the one hand, they hope that Kiana will succeed in the debate, so that she will face herself and embark on a full-salary path.

Cecilia, in particular, felt extremely upset when she saw this scene. For her, no matter who wins or loses, one of her daughters will disappear.

Siegfried patted Cecilia's shoulders gently and held her in his arms.

As a father, he felt extremely sad when he saw this scene.

He still felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, this is just a written script, not real.

[The Herrscher of the Void took the lead in talking about Sirin's painful past experiences. Those hypocritical researchers of Tianming pushed Sirin into a hell worse than death in the name of [hope].

From then on, the seeds of hatred were planted in Xilin's heart, and it was human beings themselves that made Xilin no longer able to trust others.

Kiana didn't rush to refute, but said the names one by one.

Aurora, Agatha and Bella, the names of the friends that Silin met in the Tower of Babylon, were also the names that she kept thinking about until the end and never forgot.

"The collapse tore Xilin's heart apart, but it could not erase their shadows from her mind."

Kiana closed her eyes, as if she could deeply understand the longing and sadness that Xilin felt when she said these names. Until the end, she was longing to reunite with them.

"But it was humans who took them away from Xilin."

The Herrscher of the Void did not deny their importance in Sirin's heart, but it was precisely because of this that humans sacrificed them, and Sirin, who had nothing left, was left with only revenge.

“But even then, there were people who wanted to save her.”

Kiana's expression was extremely serious.

"Oh, you want to talk about Theresa? She only speaks nice words and is unrealistic. She never cares about Xilin's true feelings."

The Herrscher of the Void blurted out.

"Or Siegfried? He was a coward, hesitant and indecisive, and in the end he accomplished nothing."

The Herrscher of the Sky was very harsh in his criticism of Theresa and Siegfried, but when he mentioned Cecilia, he fell into a brief silence.

She acknowledged the love between Cecilia and Celine, but love seemed so pale and powerless in the face of hate. The world would not allow this, and it eventually led to war.

"They killed her together - that's what you call salvation."

The Herrscher of the Void seemed to be stunned for a second, and the memories in his eyes turned back into murderous intent and disdain. Is this the so-called kindness and salvation? That is the biggest irony of Xilin's fate.

"No matter what you say, their appearance remains in Xilin's heart."

The Herrscher of the Void could not refute this statement.

She was originally floating and then slowly landed on the ground. Half of the wing-shaped Sub-Sky Spear behind her changed from being sharp to something resembling wings of light.

"In the endless darkness, Xilin had a recurring dream. The warmth that you despised was the treasure she desired most in her dream."

"She longed for hope and happiness, and she kept repeating to herself the words she had heard from Cecilia."

"All of this is engraved in the core memory, transcending time, sending her final prayer of life to the future, giving birth to a new consciousness."

“…That’s me.”

In Kiana's view, she and the Herrscher of the Void are not opposites, but two souls born from Sirin's wishes, sharing feelings and memories, and embarking on two different paths.

The Herrscher of the Sky seemed to acknowledge what Kiana said, but she didn't care about Kiana. The purpose of her coming into the world was to bring destruction to it.

Humans caused Xilin's pain, caused her to lose everything, and must also bear her anger and pay the corresponding price.

Kiana believes that hatred has no end, and all the Herrscher of the Sky does is create new pain for others.

The Herrscher of the Sky sneered. In her opinion, Kiana was unable to stop her at all. Her family, teachers, and friends were all dragged into this nightmare because of Kiana.

He casually summoned the phantom of Benares.

After all, in her eyes, Benares also died because of Kiana.

After a hard fight, Kiana defeated the phantom of Benares, but did not give it the final blow. She finally figured out one thing.

This is not a theater of domination, but their shared space of consciousness.

From the beginning to the end, it was not the Herrscher Core that was rejecting Kiana, but Kiana that was rejecting the Herrscher Core.
