Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

As for Kallen, I guess that moment of hesitation made her feel like she hadn't been chosen. At present, it's certain that she knows about the more powerful being within her.

You don't need to worry so much. With him around, Karen will be fine.

“If you continue to pretend that nothing’s wrong, I will destroy all the Soul Steel bodies prepared for you. You will never get rid of me, or die with me,” Otto threatened menacingly.

Void Treasury: Holy crap, what are you doing?! First of all, I didn't provoke you. Secondly, I didn't provoke you. And then, I was wrong, right? I clearly recognize my serious mistake.

After deep reflection, I realize that my inappropriate jokes and frivolous attitude stemmed from my own foolishness and my desperate attempt to appear humorous. I was wrong, it was all my fault!

Under the tutelage of Su Xin from the previous civilization, Void Treasury had maxed out its apology skills, speaking fluently and naturally with perfect rhyme and rhythm, without any pauses or loopholes.

"I don't want to hear that. Tell me what I should do now?"

Otto was, after all, a novice in love, and like Su Xin, he only knew how to give one-sided affection.

They can give their all for a relationship, but they struggle to fully understand each other's thoughts.

Void Treasury: Waiting won't lead to a better outcome if you chase after them. Let them be alone, and perhaps they'll come back happily once their misunderstandings are resolved.

You need to do something now. For example, once you develop a cure for the Black Death, all of Europe will be in an uproar. What is Karen most concerned about? The people, right? When you hold a celebration, she will definitely come back, whether in the open or in the shadows. But there are other things to consider.

Void Treasury offered its advice, and Otto tried his best to keep his mind calm. After thinking about Void Treasury's suggestion and considering Kallen's personality, he realized it was indeed true; he had been too impulsive just now.

Catching up with Karen won't change anything; it will only make the relationship break down more completely.

In this situation, the best choice is to do something practical to let Karen know that she can understand her.

"Lord Otto, should we give chase now?"

"No need. Go back now, as fast as you can."

"Also, the Valkyrie troops will stay behind. You all should keep plenty of food and stay there for a month. If Karen returns to bring her back..."

Otto gave the order rationally, suppressing his impulses; it was the only thing he could do now.

Seeing this, I felt somewhat gratified. Being able to forcibly restrain one's emotions is a necessary quality for becoming a strong person.

Just like when we abandoned the other four pioneers of the plan.

especially.

The Void Archives did not fully reveal the truth to Otto; it discerned Kallen's thoughts.

Su Xin had no choice but to face this situation.

The emotional conflict stemmed from Karen's inherently kind heart.

Karen's unwavering commitment to saving the world, and saving countless others, including herself, thousands, and tens of thousands?

If Su Xin executes this, then the entire world civilization will be reborn and continue for the greater good, and humanity will continue for generations to come.

Chapter 57 "Your Life Is More Important"

After Karen learned of Su Xin's even more distant and arduous mission—

She couldn't accept life, imprisoning him and even more lives in a cage.

Only her death can set him free and truly save the world.

In matters of the heart, minor conflicts and squabbles can be easily resolved with a little coaxing.

But when beliefs clash, there is simply no other choice.

Void Treasury sighed. Although it had acted relaxed just now, it was quite afraid that Kallen might release Su Xin in a fit of anger.

Similar things kept happening to Su Xin. Watching someone grow up, crying, laughing, fighting, getting excited about something, and then feeling sad and crying over something else—it was like killing someone's closest person in terms of human emotions. She probably wouldn't be able to accept it in a short time.

Void Treasury felt a little sorry for its former owner.

It would be better for him to become numb; staying awake would only make him more and more miserable.

Of course, the other pioneers weren't having an easy time either, but paying the price and overcoming the Honkai is a test that humanity can never escape.

Heavy rain poured down, dark clouds gathered in the sky, the sky was gloomy, and there was a faint rumble of thunder.

Karen ran wildly through the night, her steps hurried, her face as pale as paper, her forehead covered with raindrops of all sizes, her clothes soaked and clinging to her body, tightly outlining her curvaceous figure.

His empty eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if they were unfocused.

If you reveal your secrets, she'll probably hear everything, but it's unclear how much she actually knows.

Su Xin: Why didn't you come sooner?

I thought you knew, but what you said to Chi Yuan really shocked me.

Su Xin: Now I'm the only one who can comfort people, which is really frustrating. I've never been good at comforting people.

"It's raining, aren't you going home?"

"It's none of your business."

"If you keep running without a goal while you're fighting, you'll get exhausted."

"It's none of your business."

"What if you're starving? There's no one to prepare food for you."

"It's none of your business."

"Where will we sleep? Even in summer, it's easy to get cold if the clothes aren't dried after such a heavy rain."

"I don't need your help!"

Karen shouted, collapsing from exhaustion into the muddy grass, staining her white dress with mud.

Her beautiful face was covered in mud, and her hair was wet and splashed with filthy mud.

She tried to wipe the dirt off her face with her hands, but her hands were also covered in dirt, and no matter how she wiped, they only got dirtier.

"Whatever." Su Xin's mood turned cold.

He didn't want to waste any more breath on this absurd and unreasonable drama, since it wouldn't stay popular for long anyway.

Su Xin thought that she would go back naturally once she calmed down.

You've shown concern for so many years, yet it's as if I haven't done anything. Do you expect me to just ignore it?

Fine, I don't care, do whatever you want!

"Ugh," Karen let out a weak sob as the raindrops pelted her body wildly, and the cold wind howled. Cold, cold.

Karen stood up unsteadily, bit her lip, and continued to run forward with all her might, limping.

My left leg was slightly injured from the fall earlier, with a dislocated bone. I can feel the tearing pain in my flesh with almost every step I take.

Crazy! I refuse to believe it! Su Xin was also stubborn; who wouldn't keep quiet in the face of pain?

He staggered for a while, his crimson blood mingling with the rainwater, spreading down his left leg to the sole of his foot.

The blood, which was originally warm, dropped in temperature at an extremely rapid rate under the icy rain.

Even though the pain was unbearable, Karen didn't utter a sound. Her steps became increasingly difficult, and with each step, her body experienced intense pain.

In extremely harsh conditions, Karen longed for the happy and wonderful childhood she had as a child.

He has no worries about food and drink, Otto plays by his side, and he can confide in his father when he encounters difficulties.

They live a carefree life, even though practicing martial arts every day is tedious, their quality of life is extremely high.

"That's enough, let's stop here. If you continue, no one can guarantee your safety. If you turn back now, Otto will definitely leave someone behind to wait for you," Su Xin coldly advised.

"Do not"

"What will you gain if you keep going? Besides being covered in wounds, what will you gain? Don't be so willful, Miss Karen!" Su Xin said impatiently, her voice rising a few decibels.

It's utterly absurd that harm is used as a form of punishment simply because someone concealed their identity?

Su Xin didn't understand, which is why she felt angry, and even more angry that Karen didn't care about life at all.

Shouldn't we protect the people? Is trampling on life worthy of our faith?

Just as Su Xin was utterly disappointed in Karen, tears welled up in Karen's eyes and involuntarily blended into the dappled rain.

Could she keep running and still get there? Karen knew.

Her voice softened, yet it was filled with resentment, sadness, and grievance.

"It will allow you to save more people."

For a moment, Su Xin fell silent, her anger seemingly extinguished by the incredibly soft voice.

"You're there? What do you mean?"

Su Xin asked hesitantly, a terrifying thought gradually emerging in her mind.

In the original story, Karen chose to die to prove her point, in order to enlighten the ignorant masses and to resist the evil deeds of God who oppressed the people.

She had countless opportunities to survive, whether she agreed to the marriage alliance with the Apocalypse family, accepted Grandpa Arthur's help, or took advantage of the chaos to escape that ugly city with Otto and live a peaceful and ordinary life in a place where no one could find them.

Karen, she certainly had the option to live a better life in the eyes of most people.

But she resolutely went to the execution ground, and at the end of her life, she was pierced through the body by a Honkai Beast, protecting the child behind her.

So, the Karen that Su Xin is now familiar with can still voluntarily die for the people, and die voluntarily.

Did she know?

"Karen, wait a minute."

"If I want to live and you're trapped here, wouldn't I be quite selfish?"

Karen stopped, looked at the bottomless valley in front of her, squatted down like a child hugging her legs, and buried her head in her legs, as if to escape all her troubles.

After crying and shouting, people are no longer so prone to crying and shouting.

Karen slowly stood up and looked down at the pitch black ground beneath her feet.

Su Xin struggled to regain control of her body and said in a deep voice, "I'll show you what's what!"

Karen smiled and took a step forward, as if he had stepped forward to help her when she was helpless, shining brightly.

“I’m a disobedient child.”

"Your life is more important."

Chapter 58 Salvation and "Salvation"

During her descent, all Karen could see was endless darkness.

Even in the boundless, dark sky, there are twinkling stars that adorn the night sky, surrounding a bright, full moon, scattered like stars across the night.

Looking at the dazzling starry sky above, Karen smiled with relief.

She has kept the promise she made when she was a child.

Childhood was joyful, adolescence was vibrant, and memories are heavy.

A naive childhood can naturally and without pressure lead to the realization of one's ideals.

As she grew up, Karen came to understand that things weren't as simple as she had imagined. She also realized that as long as she worked hard, she could achieve her ideals. Sometimes, she couldn't even save one person, like Su Xin.

If you're not even willing to pay the price, then it's just empty talk, a pipe dream.

But Karen will not give up.

Karen vaguely remembered Su Xin: "If I could, I would rather get beaten up than have Karen beaten up and question her existence."

That's why she took over the body; Karen didn't need Su Xin to take her place and be beaten.

No kind-hearted girl would want a boy to lose face.

She's a good girl, unlike my selfish self; Karen's soul is filled with a noble sense of justice. I hope she can have a better ending, that she can become a guardian that people yearn for.

In truth, Karen knew that she was selfish too. If she were truly so noble and virtuous, perhaps she should have offered her life after Su Xin murmured to the night sky that night.

I want a kind-hearted girl to have an ending that suits her. I want to prove that goodness deserves a good outcome.

Is this the right ending for me?

Gradually, Karen closed her eyes.

She could only feel the cold wind rushing past her ears and the raindrops hitting her body as she fell together into the endless, deep darkness.

In her short 21 years of life, Karen had to make the most of every day. There were occasional embarrassing little incidents, but she always had one incredibly lucky thing happen.

It's a little disappointing.

It would be wonderful to witness firsthand how he saves the world.
