Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

"I hope you can be more free, not timid, do what you want, throw all worldly rules and concepts to the back of your mind, and become the person you want to be."

"for?"

"Because you are my friend, I don't want to see you suffer."

"But that would hurt other people."

"We're friends, as long as you're happy, I don't care about anyone else."

Not just Su Xin, everyone hopes to hear the same answer from their friends and be firmly chosen and recognized.

However, reality is cruel; there is no such thing as eternal companionship. When beliefs clash, even the most unbreakable bond can crumble in an instant.

Su Xin lowered her eyes, her bright golden eyes seemingly reflecting countless images.

In the future, when his stance changes and his identity shifts from human to a world-destroying being condemned by the public, almost all close relationships will crumble in an instant.

Some things in life can change in an instant, catching people off guard and knocking them to the ground, leaving them in a sorry state.

It's somewhat similar to how Mei mercilessly defeated Kiana before, even though she had been chasing after Kiana's back the day before, crying and lamenting that she couldn't be a girl.

As a result, after becoming the Herrscher of Thunder and gaining immense power, she decided to abandon gentleness and confront evil directly.

Mei wants to replace Kiana to eliminate the Herrscher and ultimately destroy the Honkai.

Human courage is always so inexplicable; a good start leads to the assumption of a good ending.

The power of the Herrschers all comes from the End, originating from the Honkai.

If she has the will, she can naturally reclaim the power that originally belonged to her. But what can the main characters, who have lost their power, do?

Back in reality, Su Xin calmly accepted the food that Kiana handed him, and he was indeed not full.

"If Kiana loses her Herrscher powers, will you continue to fight? Don't answer me. Even if you die, die in battle. That kind of death is too cheap. Just act blindly and impulsively."

Su Xin turned her head and met Kiana's gaze.

A pair of bright yet cool golden eyes, a pair of azure yet bright blue eyes, the two of them completely met.

Kiana thought for a long time, and after a moment of deliberation, she said, "I think I will fight to the very last moment."

"Of course, I don't mean the kind of death that you would knowingly rush forward to sacrifice yourself. I think such a death would be meaningless and worthless."

“Even without Herrscher powers, I have other things I can do. The Anti-Entropy doctors are all friendly, and the power within me can be analyzed, bringing more possibilities. I might even be able to develop a controllable Herrscher power weapon. As long as someone needs me, I will be there.”

"My original plan was to sabotage the World Serpent Project before returning, that way..."

Kiana clutched her chest, looked up at Su Xin with a kind and guilty expression, as if she were talking to Himeko-sensei.

"Only then can I prove that Himeko's efforts were not in vain."

Su Xin dismissed this with disdain, coldly reminding Kiana: "They're just using you. Although the Anti-Entropy group seems very benevolent, their cunning far surpasses that of most people."

"Use? I think it should be called a joint effort to achieve victory," Kiana said cheerfully, as if the experiment on her by Anti-Entropy had never happened, and she had no grudges.

"I will not deny you until I see you admit defeat with my own eyes."

"I will never admit defeat, not in my entire life."

After a moment of silence, the family bucket was completely devoured. Both of them had large appetites, and even the largest portion of the family bucket was barely enough to fill their stomachs.

Su Xin handed Kiana a tissue to wipe the grease from the corner of her mouth. Kiana then went to bed and curled up, her beautiful body covered by the white sheets.

Her lips moved slightly, her eyes were unfocused, and her pale face clearly showed that she was going through a period of torment.

While the Herrscher of the Void's personality exists, the Herrscher core does not entirely belong to Kiana. Therefore, Kiana is unable to communicate with the Imaginary Space to release excess Honkai energy within her body to alleviate or even extinguish Honkai erosion.

The Anti-Herrscher's core continuously generates Honkai energy, eroding the body and causing unbearable pain.

Even so, Kiana simply pursed her lips and didn't utter a sound.

In such cases, crying out in pain is not only shameful, but also a sign of a lack of firm resolve.

At least with Su Xin inside, Kiana couldn't scream in pain.

Su Xin sat on the sofa, her gaze mostly focused on the scenery outside. In the future, the city would remain perfectly preserved.

Su Xin even watched the intermittent images for a long time. Later, the city might even be selected as an economic development city for some special reasons, and leap from a time when it was a first-tier city.

There are pros and cons: people's utilitarianism has increased, but their sense of leisure has decreased significantly.

None of these are relevant.

Su Xin glanced at Kiana out of the corner of her eye from time to time, and seeing the pained expression on her face, she could tell at a glance that Kiana was enduring the pain caused by the Honkai erosion.

Now, her physical condition is such that she has difficulty even moving normally, let alone fighting.

She might not even be able to run a kilometer, and her speed wouldn't be as fast as an average college student, because Kiana's stamina, reaction time, and other basic physical conditions have become extremely weak due to the Honkai's erosion.

"Kiana, there's no need to force yourself. Although holding it in can shorten the time it takes for the erosion to cause pain, you won't be able to do anything in your normal state afterward, just like yesterday. If someone tries to stop you, you won't be able to handle them at all."

Su Xin's nonchalant tone reached Kiana's ears.

Kiana was covered in sweat and couldn't even get angry.

Gritting her teeth, she answered forcefully: "Hmm! I'll try and see if I can use the Herrscher of the Void's powers beforehand and transfer the Honkai bomb without the other party noticing."

"You're quite confident, judging by your current state of being on the verge of death?"

"How can we know what the future will look like if we don't move forward? Perhaps things will change."

"Perhaps."

Su Xin turned her gaze to Kiana again, "I have good news and bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?"

Kiana looked surprised, thinking that Su Xin was talking strangely again. If there was any news, wouldn't it be better to say it in advance?

Time points

I really don't want to hear what if I have to do something again.

With several bombs still in the city, how could we possibly have any extra energy? But we had to do it anyway. Whether we succeeded or not, as long as everyone was safe, that was all that mattered.

"Bad, bad news, isn't it?" Kiana hesitated.

Su Xin glanced thoughtfully at Kiana's evasive eyes, but did not expose her little scheme.

Are you joking that I'm expecting bad news but no good news, and good news but no bad news?

"You look pessimistic, which is not like you at all. Okay, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. The bad news is that the Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Rock have been born and will combine to become the Herrscher of Star on an island, which is estimated to cause hundreds of thousands of casualties."

While the Herrscher of Ice from the previous civilization did not cause many casualties, the Herrscher of Rock could truly destroy a continent.

Hundreds of millions of people—no, no, human lives are no different from a string of numbers.

Upon hearing the news, Kiana's expression worsened, and she bit her lip, at a loss for what to do.

His eyes revealed worry, as well as self-blame for being powerless to do anything about it.

"What about the good news?"

"I've made a deal with the World Serpent Lord to put this on hold for now. We'll continue once we've dealt with the Herrscher of the Star. You'll have plenty of time to heal and rest. By the way, you don't need to take action against the Herrscher of the Star. Your close friend Raiden Mei and the World Serpent executives will handle it. If they can't kill the Herrscher, other powerful individuals will step in."

Su Xin stated this expressionlessly.

But the observant Kiana caught a key point and immediately questioned Su Xin: "How were you able to make a deal with the World Serpent Lord? What is your relationship with him? What was the price of the deal?"

Kiana's gaze was intense, as if she was determined to know the truth.

Su Xin did not hide anything. Ever since he was able to see countless futures, he had lost the ability to live a normal life.

Sometimes, he confuses the past with the future, mistaking the present for the past or the future, and then does things that are hard to explain.

"To know the answers to these questions, firstly, Kiana, you need to know that although Kevin is the Lord of the World Serpent, the World Serpent does not follow his orders. It only obeys Kevin's commands when faced with orders from a higher level."

"What do you mean? Isn't Kevin the leader of the World Serpent? Then why aren't the highest-ranking orders given to him?" Kiana asked, somewhat puzzled.

In his memory, Kevin Kaslana, that incredibly powerful man, always presented himself with a cold and aloof expression, was not the highest-ranking leader of the World Serpent?

Was the information about Destiny incorrect? Is there another reason?

Su Xin calmly replied, "The World Serpent was founded by the former civilization of Mebius. After Mebius disappeared, the Gray Serpent took over its management and changed its veneration to Kevin. It is dedicated to helping humanity adapt to the Honkai. Therefore, the highest command should be given to Mebius, not Kevin."

"Coincidentally, I have quite a history with Mebius and we have a good relationship. This is something that all the World Serpent Elders know. Therefore, my orders have the same priority as Mebius's, so it is perfectly reasonable for me to have them stop temporarily."

Mei left Kevin a backup plan, and Mebius also left Su Xin a backup plan.

To truly love someone is to entrust them with the final choice, let alone to someone who has been deprived of the right to choose. Giving them the right to choose is an act of immense love.

As long as Su Xin wants it, Kevin will be unable to carry it out unless he is killed, so that Kevin can become the undisputed leader of the world snake.

Clearly, unless absolutely necessary, these former civilization's lucky survivors, the lone pioneers, do not want to turn their blades on their companions again.

"Danming, are you also a pioneer of ancient civilization?"

Kiana asked tentatively, having seen some related content in the Destiny Database and also learned some information from Fu Hua.

Those who went before all bore an incredibly heavy responsibility and sin.

The weight of their responsibilities and the depth of their sins sustained them for 50,000 years as they searched for a way to destroy the Honkai.

Just from hearing it, you can sense how strong a belief it takes to persevere.

Su Xin knew what Kiana was thinking and calmly replied, "."

Are you tired?

"I don't know," Su Xin replied to Kevin as before.

"You must be tired."

"I don't know. All I know is that we've trampled on countless lives and killed countless comrades along the way to get to where we are now. We don't have a strong enough belief to last for ten thousand years. We have no choice but to move forward. If we turn back, we will be letting down any of the comrades who died because of us."

Despite her calm demeanor, Kiana noticed that as Su Xin spoke, her hands involuntarily clenched, trembled slightly, and her usually serene gaze hardened.

Sometimes what propels people forward is not just faith, but also reality.

Tragic reality, painful reality, cruel reality.

Because she cannot return to reality, and in order not to betray all the sacrifices and visions, Su Xin can only move forward, never stopping until she reaches the finish line.

"Kiana, let's leave this topic at that. Ask all your questions at once," Su Xin said wearily, her mind still replaying fragmented memories.

Kiana hesitated for a long time, wanting to ask more about her, but seeing Su Xin's haggard appearance, she did not continue to ask.

Perhaps, what she couldn't say, when talking about things, Su Xin's expression was somewhat like a normal person's, but she was tired.

Yu Qiyana could only ask, "What?"

"In fact, I didn't believe it was feasible. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. Even if we won, it would be an incredibly brutal victory. But I'm not stupid."

"Not stupid? What do you mean?"

"Looks like you haven't eaten enough, Kiana, otherwise you should be able to guess."

"You don't know?"

"Because I can't beat Kevin right now, it's not that simple. If I want to directly stop his plan, it's equivalent to standing on the opposite side of him. Especially if I stop him before I come up with a better plan, that kind of behavior is just as bad."

Su Xin looked at Qiyana and criticized her mercilessly.

Chapter 104 The boos from all sides were as loud as the cheers of yesteryear, but I am still willing...

“We are not psychopaths; such acts of cruelty are unbearable for any normal human being.”

After finishing, Su Xin closed his eyes; he didn't want to open them again to see the world.

Opening my eyes, the line between the future and the past becomes increasingly blurred, and reality seems incredibly illusory.

"Then why do such horrific things? Destroying cities with Honkai bombs, with millions dying every time, is neither justice nor saving the world," Kiana retorted, though her tone was not as firm as usual.

Like Su Xin, she was unconsciously assimilated during their time together and developed the habit of letting things play out first.

Su Xin did not answer, but opened her eyes and looked at Kiana with a very complicated expression.

Kiana continued, "Don't you also find it tiresome to torture and kill your own kind?"

"No, I'm not stopping it because it's not feasible. I just hope that there will be a new turning point in the future, and that someone can bring a new answer."

"The wails and cries of our kind before they die, the splattering of blood and the decaying limbs—no one wants to bring about an end, whether it's you, me, or the executor Kevin."

"If there are other ways, let me know."

"Weren't you pioneers once before? If there were better options, we wouldn't stand against you and trample on your ideals and dreams."

"But someone has to face the harsh reality. If we don't move forward, you won't have peace."

Kiana murmured, unable to deny the other person's words, but unable to accept the inhumanity.
