Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

Su Xin turned around and stared coldly at her next opponent, whose aura was intense, dozens of times stronger than that guy named Aikend.

Even without knowing the reason, Su Xin was confident that her next opponent would be another Kaslana.

Chapter 9 Kaslana's Traitor

Su Xin looked at the white-haired, blue-eyed man in front of her, and involuntarily wanted to open her eyes to see what was going on.

Fortunately, reason prevailed over impulse; otherwise, others would see that one eye was gold and the other blue, and some churches would consider it an evil possession.

“Joseph!” Francis suddenly stood up, his voice loud, as if he had seen something or someone shocking.

In the dueling arena, the man acted frivolously, making a very comical bow to Francis with a mocking expression.

"Long time no see, Francis, the great head of the Kaslana family."

Joseph kept repeating the words "Head of the Kaslana Family," and Su Xin sensed that he seemed to care about that identity.

However, Karen has no memory of Joseph at all, and it seems there is no such thing as Joseph in the original work.

Confusing, off-topic? Something overlooked?

It doesn't matter. No matter how outrageous the plot is, as long as you have the power to overcome everything, there's nothing to fear.

At that moment, Nicholas, who was in a bad mood, suddenly burst out laughing. Seeing Francis's ferocious face, Aikend's pain of failure instantly turned into joy.

There's no comedy more entertaining than watching your old rival get humiliated.

“Francis, how about I prepare a gift for you? I remember the Kaslana ancestral precept forbids adult Kaslanas from killing each other, right?”

"If Joseph is now a member of the Apocalypse family, then will you play or not?"

Nicholas grinned and said that Kaslana was the most rule-abiding person. As long as the rules were reasonable, she would stick to her duty even if it was disadvantageous to her. She was extremely disciplined.

"Hahaha, Francis, Kaslana is in this predicament today because she followed the rules too strictly, and everyone is eyeing her covetously!" Joseph roared.

"The weak are bound by rules, while the strong create rules. Those who are complacent and self-enclosed will become playthings for others. Once others understand your bottom line and behavioral logic, they can manipulate you at will."

"Only by abandoning all honor and morality, and having no bottom line, can one prevent others from figuring out one's bottom line."

Joseph spoke as if he were reprimanding Francis, his words piercing to the heart.

"Back then, when I competed with you for the position of head of the Kaslana family, we were clearly evenly matched in strength, and I was even more skilled than you. It was only because the Heavenly Fire Judgment recognized you that I missed out on the position of head of the family!"

"It is because of such corrupt traditions that Kaslana has ended up in a situation where she is hated by all the nobles!"

"Shut up! You claim to be colluding with other nobles?" Francis rarely lost his temper, and he still vividly remembered what happened back then.

To become the head of the family, he resorted to any means necessary, using the wives of the Shaniat family as bargaining chips to gain assistance. Could such despicable behavior be approved by the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire?

Joseph's expression became calm and indifferent, and he no longer met Francis's gaze.

He was so disappointed.

A strong person bound by morality is not like a lion in shackles; no matter how fierce, it cannot harm anyone.

Justice? A fist more powerful than evil.

One should stop at nothing to achieve one's goals, because the outcome will ultimately justify the process.

No matter how despicable, vile, dirty, or glamorous Cheng may be, the end result will always portray Cheng as magnificent, majestic, or even tragic.

"Karen, concede," Arthur reminded her from the sidelines.

There is no other choice now but to choose between one win and one loss, so we will temporarily put Apocalypse aside.

But the castle lord was not happy. How could the rules of the dueling arena be treated so lightly, and a mere servant be allowed to change them?

"Kaslana is far too arrogant! No one outside the arena has the right to admit defeat on behalf of those on the field." The castle lord's majestic voice reached Arthur's ears, while also warning Francis.

Francis didn't listen; he couldn't say anything, so he had to let Arthur do it.

It's okay to remind Karen to admit defeat, but it doesn't actually mean to admit defeat for Karen.

Karen isn't stupid; if she had listened to their loud conversation, she certainly wouldn't have been foolish enough to fight Joseph.

"Oh? You read The Prince, not bad. I give you a thumbs up for your ambition." Su Xin smiled casually and gave Joseph a thumbs up.

Joseph looked down at the tiny child, who was only a little over half his height, and who was rumored to be the most talented child in Kaslana's history.

Karen spoke to Joseph in a normal voice, unlike Joseph and Francis who had been shouting at each other earlier.

These old men speak as if they have built-in megaphones, their voices deafening.

"Hmph, apart from Francis, no one else has the authority to make me take action, not even the genius Kaslana! Surrender now, or I'll be forced to make a move."

Joseph thought to himself, "Arthur just reminded me that if I admit defeat and the outcome is already decided, then I should at least show the demeanor and style of a strongman."

But the next second, a scene that left everyone speechless appeared.

"Karen"

Suddenly, the entire dueling arena seemed to freeze in time, everyone standing still as if time had stood still.

What is she doing?

Is he challenging the original second strongest member of the Kaslana family?

凭？

With a twelve-year-old girl like her?

Francis and Arthur's faces tensed instantly, their muscles taut, ready to charge at any moment.

The outcome of the duel isn't that important; what matters is that Kallen doesn't get hurt.

Francis placed his hand on the Judgment of Heavenly Fire at his waist. His body could no longer support him using Judgment of Heavenly Fire, but he could still use it a little in the dual-gun form.

"Heh heh heh ha ha ha! Karen, huh? You've got more guts than your father!" Joseph glanced sideways at Francis, who was giving him a threatening look, and laughed wildly with disdain.

"If you're going to fight, then fight already. You talk too much nonsense." Su Xin was unhappy. Since the other party was recognized as a strong person, then he could also show some of his true skills.

"Good!" Joseph's aura suddenly surged, and his muscles were fully revealed.

He dashed towards Su Xin with a single step, much faster than Aikend had been.

Can Honkai increase physical strength? Su Xin dared not underestimate his opponent. Although one punch could cripple him, he also couldn't withstand one punch.

Kallen's body did not learn to absorb Honkai energy to amplify its strength, so she was essentially a tough, ordinary person. In addition, her body was already covered in injuries, so she absolutely could not take a single punch.

Chapter 10 It doesn't matter, I'll play dead.

Joseph threw a straight punch at Su Xin without any skill. Su Xin dodged it by turning to the side, and then, taking advantage of her agility, she instantly braced herself with one hand and delivered a powerful inverted straight kick to Joseph's right ribs.

The liver is located in the lower right rib area, where the bones are the thinnest and most brittle, making them prone to breakage.

A broken rib can easily puncture internal organs, causing internal bleeding.

It was like kicking a steel plate; there was no sound of bones breaking. Su Xin immediately turned around and retreated.

As he stood upright again, Joseph came in front of him and launched a sweeping kick that sent a whooshing sound through the air.

Su Xin was a little overwhelmed; her skills were not as good as her previous opponent, Aikende.

He leaned back to dodge, then retreated again.

"Heh, no wonder he's called the most talented genius in Kaslana's history. His mastery of combat skills even surpasses that of a grandmaster who has honed his skills for decades. Talent, instinct?"

Joseph, like a creator, asked Su Xin a question from a high and mighty position.

Su Xin sighed, her gaze becoming calm.

"Because you used Honkai energy to amplify your body, I assumed you weren't holding back. So, what's the story behind such a crude fighting style?" Su Xin asked.

Joseph was delighted to hear this.

"Hahaha! Crude? Like when a human steps on an ant, would they want to use fancy leg techniques to crush it?"

"Using such talent for a trivial task, doesn't it look ridiculous?"

"Once you possess absolute power, do you need fancy techniques?"

Joseph answered truthfully, and indeed it was so; many things paled in comparison to absolute power.

Su Xin was silent for two seconds, then suddenly clenched her right fist and spread her legs into a front and back horse stance.

"wind."

A strong gale swept around Su Xin, blowing her braided hair into a cascading, messy, and swirling motion in the air.

If Su Xin were to see this now, she would probably be unable to distinguish between Kiana and Kallen.

Joseph's pupils contracted to wheat-points; his intuition told him that the other person was about to threaten his life.

But why?

With a twelve-year-old child who hasn't learned Honkai Amplification?

"Kallen Arthur, you taught Kallen Honkai Amplification?" Francis also showed an extremely surprised expression.

"Master, the courses next year will take several years to complete, so Miss Karen should..."

Arthur wasn't finished, but Francis understood what Arthur meant.

Their Kaslana's innate talent was not without origin; it came from the special holy power within their bloodline.

The family's ancient records mention that only a few Kaslanas are qualified to awaken the Holy Mark Will. The Holy Mark Will is similar to a teacher existing deep within one's consciousness, which can not only provide powerful strength but also hone skills and abilities in all aspects.

"No, I might lose, but you can never defeat me!" Joseph also completely unleashed himself, absorbing a large amount of Honkai energy from the surrounding area to strengthen himself.

Although this method is similar to self-harm, Kaslana has extremely high Honkai energy resistance, but that does not mean she is immune. If she ingests a large amount of Honkai energy at once, she will still be eroded and die.

But Joseph had no choice; people without value would be discarded, and he couldn't afford to lose.

Su Xin replied in a light and ethereal voice, her face expressionless: "Perhaps, but I really can't imagine losing."

"A single-inch force can cleave the heavens!!"

Without warning, Su Xin suddenly punched the air in front of her, unleashing a violent storm that swept forward.

Joseph was dumbfounded. When he felt a fierce storm, he stopped gathering his strength and couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

One breath, two breaths

When the storm subsided, Joseph was a completely different person, a far cry from his confident and spirited demeanor when he first entered the fray.

Su Xin clenched her fist, snorted coldly, and slowly relaxed it.

"Absolute power? That's short-sighted. There is only one absolute power in this world—the end."

"A self-proclaimed powerful idiot, he doesn't even have the qualifications to step onto the battlefield of the end."

Su Xin rarely uses strong subjective emotions to mock people.

Because of that word, he had heard it far too many times in the previous civilization, and that feeling of powerlessness on the final, desolate moon.

Even if we use every means at our disposal, exert all our strength, and fight with all our might, we still cannot win.

In truth, everyone knows that she is invincible, immortal and indestructible.

But in that tragic story, no one was swayed by it.

Su Xin was still puzzled as to why he would leave last.

It doesn't matter, we'll meet sooner or later anyway.

Since the collapse of current civilization will not lead to the end of hope, then an invincible being with absolute power will appear.

Sooner or later, there will be days filled with flowers and foliage to remember the deceased.

Some people, however, have been forgotten once again.

The grave is silent, burying the dead, all the words they could not utter in life.

That's why Su Xin became so serious when Joseph possessed absolute power, because he found it absurd and was not happy at all.

"Win?" Arthur stared in shock at the motionless figure in the dueling arena.

“Hmm.” Francis looked on, seemingly lost in thought.

"Karen! You win!" Otto's face beamed with joy as he cheered with a radiant smile.

But the next moment, he was met with a glare from Nicholas, whose eyes were shrouded in gloom.

The castle lord frowned, his fingers unconsciously clenching until they turned white. Kallen's unparalleled power meant the rise of the Kaslana family. The already powerful Kaslana family would be even stronger with Kallen, and the council would never allow it.

Parliament cannot tolerate any of the three major families becoming too powerful and must restrain the other two families; a tripartite balance of power is the best outcome.

Aside from being a little surprised, the head of the Shaniat family didn't say much, after all, he had always had a good relationship with Kaslana.
