Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

In its sparkling eyes, countless scenes of the past, present, and future are reflected, and everyone can see the past, present, and future through its eyes.

It whispers to the souls of all: You are equal.

People believed it to be true and allowed destruction to befall them.

It whispers in everyone's ears: You are free.

People abandon everything, willingly donning cold, hard shackles, and aimlessly pursuing a void of freedom.

It takes root in people's minds: the world is about to end, all things will perish in the flames, and they will return from the mirror of the heart.

In the end, all time is reflected in reality.

In the end, civilization will emerge.

"Tsk, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. We have no chance." Walter rubbed his head, looking haggard, as if he had done a lot of work but it was all in vain.

Walter brought Ai and Tesla to the edge of the Fate Floating Island. Looking down, the world was devastated, and the buildings that symbolized human civilization had long since become ruins.

No, not even ruins remain; the once prosperous city has become a pile of lifeless ashes and dust.

"Damn it!! That damned Herald of the End, doesn't he care about this world at all?!"

"The records look impressive! For 50,000 years, we've experienced the pain and love of civilization, leaving behind its footprints. We've lived alongside countless people, sharing their joys and sorrows, fighting for all the good things in the world."

"If you care about that, then why kill everyone? You bastard!"

"What about the others? Are the Valkyries on St. Freya's side just going to ignore them?"

Tesla vented their emotions without restraint, after all, their defeat was inevitable, and once the Herrscher of the End got serious, they would have no chance left.

It's unacceptable to witness the world's destruction firsthand, and then watch helplessly as the remaining survivors are also caught in the aftermath of the destruction; death would be meaningless.

"Saint Freya and the others tried to stop the Honkai Beast and took the Moon Throne to find an opportunity to kill the giant Honkai Beast."

"but"

Ai Yin was halfway through when she suddenly lowered her head, her fingers involuntarily tightening.

“But you!?” Tesla urged impatiently.

"None of them will live."

""

Four simple words suddenly made the atmosphere stiff and cold.

"Hey, you, you're kidding, right? Ai, do you think Herrschers are so easy to kill? Can't they just run away if they're attacked?"

The moment Tesla finished speaking, a star fell from the sky, brushing past the Destiny Floating Island.

Even though the Fate Floating Island is located in the sky, the ground is shaking violently, and one can hear the source of the sound and observe the situation.

Tesla attempts to put itself in the perspective of ordinary people: stars falling, unavoidable, death looming.

Aiyin paused, her tone heavy: "They tried to stop some stars from falling, but all their attempts failed. These stars were bound by many rules, which Mei's lightning could not penetrate, and even human heavy firepower could not destroy them."

"Only the Moon Throne can cause substantial damage to these stars, but the Moon Throne takes too long to charge up and its uses are almost useless compared to the number of stars."

"Theresa sacrificed her life to forcibly activate the zeroth rated power of the Judah Oath, briefly stopping the fall of the stars, but it only lasted for a short while."

"There are no distress signals from anywhere in the world. Only the Fate Floating Island can barely survive. It is estimated that it will not be long before we face our death."

Aiyinli's heavy tone softened as she loosened her tie, ripped off her coat, and plopped down on the grass, watching the stars fall.

She wasn't pessimistic; when there's no way to salvage the situation, people seem to have no other choice but to wait.

"Is this the end?! I'm not reconciled!" Tesla crouched down and slammed his fist heavily into the ground.

Walter seemed to have come to terms with it, taking off his glasses and throwing them forward with all his might, then sitting on the grass like Ein: "We do all we can, and it turns out that saving the world is such a frustrating and powerless thing."

"Back then, Joyce stepped forward to prevent a nuclear bomb from destroying New York City, just like we are now. It's just that we are not qualified to reproduce Joyce's glory and protect humanity from disaster."

Walter lowered his head, his expression bewildered. "Do I seem to have failed the name Walter, the name of the world? If the world ceases to exist, where will you go after you die, Ai-in? Heaven or hell?"

Ai Yin shook her head: "Yang, you should understand that we, the anti-entropy faction, are staunch materialists. Those unrealistic fantasies cannot exist. The so-called heaven and hell are just lies that people have fabricated to comfort their cowardice and timidity."

"No, it's not certain that it will happen."

Tesla listened to their conversation with disbelief. Ai Yin always valued truth and evidence, so why would she believe that a myth could exist?

Welt, despite his unwavering strength, led everyone in the fight against the Honkai, relentlessly battling to live up to Joyce's vision.

Are the two of them looking completely dejected now?

Do you believe in heaven and hell?

Tesla hesitated, wanting to utter some curses, but when she saw the two of them staring blankly at the apocalyptic scene, all her grievances were stuck in her throat, choked by something.

Give up on something easy, especially something you've persisted in for a long time.

It brings complete mental relaxation and a sense of relief.

As Tagore said: One night I burned all my memories, and from then on my dreams were transparent; one morning I threw away all yesterday, and from then on my steps were light.

Tesla also understood that humanity had lost, and the current survivors of the world were destined to live on the floating islands.

Soon, when that Honkai Beast casts its gaze toward the Destiny Floating Island, humanity will face true destruction.

There will be a heaven.

Tesla turned his head away, unwilling to meet Walter and Ein's gaze, his voice rising and falling.

"We've made so many contributions to humanity, we'll surely go to heaven after we die, maybe Joyce will be waiting for us there."

"Tesla, you're really not good at comforting people, but thank you." Ai Yin laughed with relief.

“Joyce, I may have disappointed him.” Walter said dejectedly.

Ein clenched her fist and punched Welt on the shoulder. The force was not great; to a Herrscher, a full-force punch from Ein, an ordinary person, would be no threat.

"Don't overthink it. Joyce never disappointed anyone, and no one understands him better than me. We're just not too disappointed, but even from this perspective, we can't find any way to save the world."

"After all, with the Herald of the End in sight, all schemes are insignificant in the face of absolute power."

"Humanity has never had the possibility of passing the Honkai Field test, because the difficulty of the test is always much higher than what we have mastered."

"What I care about most is why Cecilia understands the Herrscher of the End, and Kiana also knows that he is not the kind of person who wants to destroy the world. Our interactions with him also show that he has complete humanity."

"So what does his choice to destroy the world really mean?"

"Humanity's survival depends on overcoming the Honkai, but the complete destruction of human civilization renders even victory meaningless. Any child who grows up a bit can grasp this principle; there's no reason why someone could live for 50,000 years." Su Xin didn't understand.

Ai Yin calmly and carefully explained her thoughts. Since there was no opportunity now, it didn't matter if her inferences lacked actual evidence.

Just as Ai Yin made some deductions, the Honkai Beast high in the sky cast a burning gaze at them.

It was like a king on a throne, looking down on Ai Yin and others, and looking down on the world.

Its face was expressionless, and its massive body remained completely still; the only movement it made was dazzling, starry eyes.

It contains an infinite number of points in time.

A star fell towards the floating island of destiny. In the instant of its fall, Ai Yin and the others looked at each other, their souls being pulled out of their bodies and into the moment they longed for most in their hearts.

——Ain——

"Hey Joyce, it's a bit cold today. Sorry for dragging you out to do an experiment in this cold weather."

In the freezing cold, inside a makeshift tent, Ai Yin kept rubbing her frozen hands and breathing out warm air in an attempt to warm them up.

Today, the laboratory is studying the efficiency of Joyce's use of rational powers in different environments.

Joyce did not answer, her face bearing a warm smile, as if the surroundings were not filled with frost and snow, but rather a bright and sunny spring day.

A blue light suddenly appeared, and a thick down jacket materialized, which Joyce thoughtfully draped over Ayn's back.

A gentle voice filled the cold, hardened heart: "Take care to keep warm."

"Um..." Ai Yin stammered, her words indistinct, her plans suddenly disrupted. "Today, we...uh, we're going to do an experiment...um, an experiment...let me think about an experiment..."

"Efficiency verification experiments of the application of rational legal powers in different environments," Joyce kindly reminded.

"Oh, right, that's right, you should try it!" Ai Yin said hastily, momentarily losing her composure, and used a clumsy excuse to change the subject.

She didn't even offer Joyce a concrete course of action, which was an extremely absurd mistake for a senior scientist.

But Joyce didn't expose him, silently activating his Law of Reason to create one item after another: high-powered underfloor heating, a huge furnace, and a perfectly sealed ceiling.

"It seems that the power of reason and law has little to do with the environment. Let's warm ourselves by the fire, Ai Yin."

"Ah."

The two men drew closer, almost shoulder to shoulder, and stretched out their four hands toward the stove.

In the dim yellow firelight, Ai Yin's smile grew even brighter.

She kept waving her little hands, looking very happy.

"Joyce, now that the experiment has yielded results, why don't we leave?"

"Hmm, don't you think it's fun to warm yourself by a fire in the freezing cold? When we get back, Dr. Tesla will probably ask you to help her with her inventions."

Joyce tilted her head shyly, her meaning clear: I want to spend more time with you.

Ai Yin wasn't stupid, she kept quiet.

The snow-covered earth seemed to merge with the sky, blurring the boundaries between them.

The pure white snowflakes, guided by the howling wind, rush towards the distance, while the crimson flames seem never to cease, lingering here to warm two little hearts.

——Theresa——

"Cecilia, Kiana messed up my hair again. It took me ages to get her to sleep. Don't always make me take care of the kids. I don't hate it, but isn't it a parent's responsibility to raise their daughter? And that Siegfried guy is off working as a slacker again!"

Theresa, filled with righteous indignation at Kiana's actions, wanted to deliver a righteous Judas blow to Siegfried.

Cecilia took a comb and walked up to Theresa, bending down to patiently comb Theresa's hair.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear friend. As a reward, let me help you restore your original appearance. Would you like an even better look?"

"Aren't you going to change the subject? I'm not a child anymore."

Theresa put on a brave face, but her face showed a satisfied expression as Cecilia gently took care of her.

"Of course I won't let you go with her alone. Siegfried went to buy clothes for Kiana. I wonder if he spent money recklessly. I hope he doesn't end up like last time, spending his entire month's salary and buying clothes that don't fit Kiana's size."

Cecilia covered her face and let out a long sigh.

"That's good, at least Siegfried has toned it down a lot. Yes, Grandpa promised me he'd allow me to create a special Valkyrie Academy, and Cecilia, you'll be the teacher. You can't not come, and I'll make it up to Kiana by going through all that trouble!"

"But you seemed to be having a lot of fun, didn't you?"

“Cecilia!”

"Haha, okay, I'm just kidding. Would I really refuse an invitation from my best friend? By the way, what are you planning to name the academy?"

"Hmm, let's call her St. Freya!"

The happiest moment is not when a dream comes true, but when you have a dream and can put it into practice.

You only truly enjoy yourself when you're least satisfied.

We never imagined that a moment of laughter with friends would be an experience we could never relive.

——Himeko——

The room reeked of alcohol, and a drunken Himeko pinned Kiana to the bed.

"Hehe, hiccup! Hehe Kiana hiccup! Kiana, naughty girl hiccup! Running to the teacher's room, not planning to do anything naughty hiccup!"

"Wow, Himeko-sensei, you're playing the victim! You're in my room, open it now! It stinks!"

Kiana struggled to push Himeko off her, but when she noticed the large puddle of liquid on the sheets, her heart sank.

Teacher Himeko also has some on her body, so we definitely can't let some vomit stay on her body.

"Hmph! Himeko-sensei, I hate you! You have to tell me the answers to the next exam, or I'll never forgive you!"

Kiana scratched her head frantically, constantly complaining.

I was celebrating my aunt's birthday, but Ms. Himeko broke with tradition and got completely drunk.

Mei, the class president, Bronya, and Auntie all got drunk, but those who had a particular fondness for food and drinks didn't suffer.

"If I'd known it would turn out this way, I would have gotten drunk with everyone."

Kiana complained as she led Himeko into the bathroom, stripped her of all her clothes, and revealed her voluptuous, blush-inducing figure.
