Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

Young children think they are omnipotent, but little do they know that their every move is like that of a stiff puppet, manipulated at will by adults.

Rin's Achilles tendon was severed, and she could no longer stand up.

Yae no Kami, holding the cherry blossom shuriken, completed the sacrifice.

It rained heavily immediately. While the villagers were relieved, Sakura felt powerless, despaired and disgusted with the world, which created an inner void and filled her soul with negative emotions.

And so the tragedy began.

For years afterward, Yae Sakura lived in the shadows.

Four years later, Yae Sakura has grown up, honed her swordsmanship, and become the village's shrine maiden, truly in charge of the rituals.

Although she appears gentle and kind, she treats those around her well and does her best to help them, no matter how small or big the task.

But the shadow of Rin's death remained in her heart.

Only Yae Sakura knew that her heart was actually dark, very dark.

Every night, when all is quiet, that murderous heart restless, and he must walk to the stream outside the village to let the cold water run down his ankles, so that the coldness can suppress the restlessness in his heart.

At that time, Sakura met Karen Kaslana, who was drifting down the river in the village.

Or—a highly charismatic person who is very similar to her: Su Xin.

Out of guilt towards Rin and a sense of déjà vu, Yae Sakura brought the seriously injured Su Xin home.

Su Xin's pleasant voice and cheerful, optimistic attitude gave Yae Sakura a glimmer of hope in her bleak life.

Su Xin always manages to cheer Yae Sakura up. When she's feeling down, she tells strange jokes, and when she's feeling depressed, she suggests going outside for a walk. In the process, she says things that are completely out of step with the times.

Her words are always so profound. After listening to them the first time, you'll discover new meanings when you think about them at night, and they'll also have different interpretations depending on the specific circumstances.

Yae Sakura understood that Su Xin wanted to live a happier and freer life.

In a patriarchal society, Su Xin hopes to pursue her desires according to her own will, even if it is despicable, vulgar, or universally hated.

Human life is only once, and if we can't even live for this one and only time, then life would be rather dull.

Regardless of sadness or pain, choose to carry it forward.

We can't just stay in one place and wait for someone to point us in the right direction, can we?

Ultimately, it's someone else's path. Your own path is always uncertain and unclear. No one knows the final outcome until you walk it.

The meaning of life lies in movement, not just on a physical level, but to a greater extent in the meaning of life itself.

Someone may live, but if their life is frozen at a certain point in time, stagnant, then we can clearly state that they are actually dead.

So, Sakura, have you thought about your future?

Su Xin said to her, but as for the rest, she couldn't remember and didn't need to recall it.

If he were to remain asleep forever, having killed so many people, he would then be taken over by someone claiming to have eroded his consciousness and kill even more innocent people. Perhaps among them are people Xin cares about, and how would she view that?

She's such a righteous person, she would surely turn the blade on her and kill for the majority without hesitation.

It's okay, I can accept it. After all, I'm a heinous sinner, and I deserve a more tragic death.

Rin is innocent; will she go to heaven after she dies? But those whose hands are stained with countless blood will only go to hell.

Why be afraid?

Are you afraid that Xin will hate me? Are you afraid that Xin will despise me?

I shouldn't have any illusions about my existence; I'm the one who deserves to die the most.

Xin killed me.

Xin, don't kill me.

Anyone can kill me, but please, Xin, don't meet me.

Yae Sakura's eyes were glazed over, her pupils unfocused. She was naked in a dim space of consciousness, her limbs entwined by cherry blossom tree roots, and most of her body merged with a cherry blossom tree from her memories. Her head drooped, letting her pink hair fall freely.

His lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

Within the space of consciousness, the Herrscher of Corruption listened to Yae Sakura's inner thoughts and then wore a playful expression.

Even in death, he prayed not to be hated by Su Xin—a pitiful man.

Unfortunately, she will never find liberation.

Controlling Yae Sakura's body, she can still feel what she's doing; she retains some memories, but she has no control over her body at all.

A first-person perspective on a relationship where one is willing to die for their loved one, tsk tsk.

Without even lifting a finger, she wallowed in self-pity, her conscience and despair slowly eroding her remaining consciousness.

That's right, Yae Sakura is now actively seeking to disappear from consciousness.

The body is completely controlled by the Herrscher of Corruption, without any resistance.

"What a bad boy! No, you can't die so easily. I will grant you the blessing of being reborn—I will send your beloved to die with you."

The Herald of Corruption figured out how to deal with Su Xin.

As the most powerful fusion warrior of the previous civilization, Su Xin was even able to fight on equal footing with the Herrscher of the End on the battlefield of the end. Even if she was defeated, she bought more than half a day for more people to enter the fifth divine key, the hibernation of all things, and for other plans to prepare.

He wields thirteen powers, possesses unparalleled physical strength, and many other strange and wonderful abilities.

The light-immune mind control technique leaves the Herrscher of Corruption with nowhere to strike.

Unfortunately, Su Xin's abilities are limited; even Kaslana, with her mortal body, cannot withstand the Herrscher powers he can unleash.

As long as Su Xin is inside someone's body, she cannot use the Herrscher powers and can only rely on her unique abilities and rich experience to bring the host to their limit.

After the host dies unnaturally, the body is forcibly transferred to a random person.

I am truly grateful to Dr. Mei for recording this; although it was top secret, it was no challenge for me.

No, no, no, you should thank me the most. If I hadn't taken a quick look at the top-secret files that Dr. Mei kept in layers of protection before infiltrating the nuclear missile launch system, I might not know how to deal with Su Xin now.

Kallen Kaslana, having just achieved the Void Sword Heart and being recognized by the Oath of Judah, is not enough to make the Herald of Corruption fear her.

Because of a woman, the Herrscher of Corruption had seen far too many similar people in the previous civilization, who did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for so-called justice.

So, the only way to achieve final victory is for Su Xin not to kill Karen when he is cornered.

The Herrscher of Corruption did not believe that Su Xin was so coincident. If a random possessor could be a pioneer, even if billions of people were randomly possessed, the Herrscher of Corruption would still accept it!

"That person is unaware of other abilities, at least not in the previous civilization because they lost too quickly and didn't have time to use them. This information gap can be well utilized."

The Herald of Erosion was embarrassed by his shameful act.

"The most important thing next is how to kill Kallen completely before he loses consciousness."

As the Herald of Corruption looked around at the countless dead soldiers covering the mountains and fields, his original plan suddenly became more complete.

It seems like an inevitable historical trend: to protect the living, one must also protect the dead.

In Vienna, Europe, Karen goes on patrol early in the morning, just like countless others, diligently looking after the people's livelihood.

If they find someone in need of help, they will step forward to do what they can without complaint or regret.

After several years of reflection, people finally opened their hearts to Kallen. Under Otto's instilled beliefs and faith, they firmly believed that Kallen was a holy saint with a supreme and beautiful soul, and they fought for her wholeheartedly.

In daily interactions, she became much more easygoing, and Karen's work was not as demanding or stressful.

After all, the people are willing to believe Karen and will no longer be afraid of the power of authority to cover things up or dare to speak out about the truth of their oppression.

Nowadays, most of the old aristocracy has been eliminated, and the new aristocracy has become much more restrained. At least they are not stupid and know that if they try to imitate the old aristocracy and exploit them at this critical juncture, they will lose their hard-won position sooner or later.

For now, all we need to do is feign agreement with Otto, and then let our descendants pass on the title in a few years. Without Otto's restrictions, the nobility will eventually follow the old path of the old nobility.

History repeats itself once again, until someone completely overthrows the old system.

Aristocratic children become aristocrats, while commoner children remain commoners.

However, it cannot be denied that there are always some foolish people who cannot understand the times, or who are greedy, or who have poor self-discipline and are willing to fall into depravity.

Some newly nobles suddenly changed their tune in just a few days, following the old path of the old nobles, doubling all taxes on their fiefdoms and forcibly marrying daughters from commoner families.

What Karen needs to do now is, after confirming the facts, to put him on trial.

Of course, he wouldn't be killed; he would simply lose all his status and wealth, becoming the most despised commoner and experiencing the "grace" of being beaten by everyone.

As for the vacant positions, Otto will make arrangements after he learns of the news.

"Holy Maiden, please come to my home as a guest!"

"Go away, get out of here. Your business isn't as good as mine. Bring out some delicious food to entertain the Holy Maiden!"

"You understand? I just traded grain with merchants from China! Call them over? Forget it, they're delicious anyway!"

"Oh? I'm getting ready too!"

"I bet you bought this on purpose because you knew the Holy Maiden would be patrolling here today!"

"Don't you?"

Karen was troubled by the daily arguments; everyone was too enthusiastic, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

Su Xin witnessed some scenes and wanted to say some things to Karen, but then she remembered Karen's honest words from yesterday.

Karen believes that growing up is painful, and it's better to let things take their natural course. If there's a way out, there's no need to rush forward so recklessly.

Su Xin will not deny any viewpoint, or he will not deny any viewpoint.

All ideas change with the times, and he only expresses his views from his own perspective; they are neither absolutely correct nor wrong.

There is no absolute right or wrong in the world.

Su Xin wanted to tell Karen but didn't say anything: When positions change, justice will also show its fangs.

Even good friends might stab you in the back when there's a conflict of interest.

People who support you now may have a completely different attitude towards you after a certain event.

Most people do not possess subjective critical thinking skills. As for the truth, due to the scarcity of information channels and the tendency to parrot others, different people have different answers, making it difficult for the group to know the only truth.

Whether you follow the mainstream or become the mainstream is irrelevant.

Su Xin once read a quote: People don't care how many bowls of noodles Liu Zi eats; they just want to see the excitement or for Liu Zi to die.

Seeing Karen enjoying the lively atmosphere, Su Xin lost interest in saying anything more.

It's good that she's happy. The truth doesn't really matter. If we only look at the essence of things and don't feel the impulse and pleasure brought by emotions, then every life would be the same, monotonous and boring.

Whether he's a materialist or a spiritualist, Su Xin isn't sure what his faith is; perhaps he's just a traveler wandering in the cracks.

"Call me Karen, that's fine. I'll be working from now on. Later, um, later!" Karen dashed off in a flash.

The people are so enthusiastic. If we don't run now, even more people will surround us, and we won't be able to escape even if we want to.

“Hey Xin, look! Everyone’s so enthusiastic. It feels like the world is becoming a better place,” Karen said, looking up and smiling.

Su Xin neither agreed nor shook her head, calmly replying: "The world never changes, only individuals do. You think the world is becoming a better place, Karen."

"Huh? I disagree. Everyone's smiles are clearly much more frequent than usual."

"Well, probably. If you don't just vent your emotions, you'll become indifferent and lose your ability to empathize in the coming period of time. I think that soon, even when you meet your neighbors, you won't say hello, or even greet them, and you'll just pretend you didn't see them and leave. Especially when you're not around when you're in a necessary contact."

"Xin, you're just like Otto now, using 'uh' all the time. I won't say anything either, you're just speaking in such a formal way." Karen pouted and complained.

Su Xin paused for a moment, then looked up at the blue sky.

"Because I am free."

Chapter 94 Black Abyss White Flower, Zero Rated Power

"free?"

Karen was stunned; Su Xin's sudden reply with a single word caused her mind to momentarily freeze.

Does the way we speak have anything to do with freedom?

As Kallen pondered, a Valkyrie's flustered expression caught her eye.

The moment the Valkyrie looked at Kallen, her panicked face suddenly lit up with joy, as if she had found a savior.

"Captain Karen! A collapse has suddenly occurred in a small border town in the east!"

"The Honkai, at this time? Could it be..." Kallen immediately thought of the Herrscher of Corruption, but why would the Herrscher of Corruption choose this time?

Perhaps a better decision would be to directly unleash the collapse in front of us?

Kallen asked, "Any other information? What's the extent of the Honkai outbreak?"
