Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

Kiana asked, puzzled, "Imprint? In Danming, in your past life's paradise, are there other people there?"

Before parting, people tend to be more patient, even slowing down their speech.

Regardless of Su Xinqi or Yana.

Su Xin patiently explained to Kiana: "You probably think of the Imprint as the Herrscher Core. Although they are very different, they can both provide you with great power. As for the Paradise of the Past, there are only thirteen people, or thirteen memory bodies, who have a common title: Heroes."

"Memory? Does that mean it's not a real person?" Kiana was confused. The term "memory" wasn't hard to understand, but how could it be something that wasn't a living person?

"I know you. The Thirteen Heroes all have memory bodies, including Fu Hua and Kevin, whom you know well. They all have corresponding memory bodies in the Paradise of the Past. The memory body is not the person, but only the carrier of the memory. In a sense, they are not the person themselves."

“Thirteen heroes, fourteen imprints in total. You only have six months. How many imprints you can get depends on you, Kiana.”

"Wait! Thirteen heroes would have fourteen marks?" Kiana noticed the blind spot and asked a strange question, like catching a teacher making a mistake in class.

"You'll find out once you go in. The heroes are all strange. If you accidentally wander into some restricted areas, you really will die. I'm not kidding. Of course, it's more in line with Kiana's personality to desperately search for a glimmer of hope than to stay in reality and wait to die."

"I'll be careful, but why aren't you coming in with me, Danming?"

Su Xin remained silent for a long time, and couldn't give a reply even after half a minute.

He suddenly opened his dazzling golden eyes, which were filled with dappled light and shadow. The past and the future seemed to intertwine and vanish in an instant, appearing and disappearing in a flash.

"There's someone inside who I don't want to see, that's all."

"Okay, Kiana, it's about time for me. Just one last reminder."

"Once you enter Paradise, if you really need help, find any hero, regardless of whether they seem to be able to help you. Tell them that my recommendation is enough. But do not try to tell Alicia anything about me, not even news."

"Everyone has a bottom line, Kiana. I hope you won't cross my line."

Su Xin suddenly became serious, staring intently at Kiana, as if she wouldn't let the matter rest until Kiana gave her a definite answer.

"No problem. Since Danming, you've given me this opportunity, I'll naturally cherish it. Who else would I choose but Lixia? Her name sounds like a girl's. Danming, don't you two get along well?"

"No, you should know the truth. In fact, you can always trust her, but I can't."

"If you can trust a stranger like me, then why can't you, her former comrade-in-arms? Isn't that a contradiction?"

Kiana's words were incisive and stung Su Xin.

Su Xin is not used to hiding her emotions; she keeps all her grief and resentment inside.

"All the answers are in Paradise. If you want to know the answers, go and find them, Kiana. Don't let me down."

After finishing, Su Xin went to the balcony to take down the clothes that were not yet dry. She precisely controlled the speed of molecular movement in the air to increase the surrounding temperature and evaporate the residual moisture on the clothes.

Like a highly efficient dryer, it dries all of Kiana's clothes in its hands.

He then walked up to Kiana, handed her the clothes, and kept his eyes closed the entire time, leaving Kiana bewildered.

The blank key contains a disease gem, and coupled with Su Xin's previous remarks, it's easy to guess that Su Xin's identity and status are extraordinary.

It is reasonable that the Blank Key can activate the Flame Law power.

Kiana was more concerned about how Su Xin could do things precisely without opening his eyes, which she found strange.

Kiana directly asked, "Danming, can you see things even with your eyes closed?"

"No," Su Xin answered decisively.

"Can you say you can't? Then how can you be so accurate?"

"Because I can see."

"But didn't you just say you couldn't see anything with your eyes closed?"

"I can't see anything with my eyes closed, I can't see."

"I'm not going to talk to you, you riddle-solving person. I'm not good at thinking anyway, and if I chat with you for half a day, all my brain cells will die." Kiana backed down, not pressing the issue further.

Su Xin wasn't lying. He could only see complete darkness with his eyes closed, but the future was already vivid in his mind. Even if he made a choice that contradicted the future, at least the current environment wouldn't change because of his choice.

Judging from the timeline, Mei has been away from entering Paradise for quite some time.

If he could just tell Kevin, he would be happy to let Kiana escape the Herrscher of Destruction and enter the Paradise of the Dead.

As for Mei, let's leave her for later.

"After you change your clothes, stay here for half a day, and someone will come to take you to the Land of Bliss."

"The Stigmata Project will be delayed until you leave the Paradise of the Past, so there's no need to rush out of Paradise. Kiana, you need to become stronger, strong enough to break certain destined tragedies, so that the story can be turned into the way you want it to be."

Su Xin remained calm.

His face showed no obvious emotion, neither sadness nor joy, and even his mysterious eyes seemed like a stagnant pool.

Kiana is the kind of person who wants to express her emotions, especially when facing family or friends who approve of her.

"And what about you, Danming? Where are you planning to go next? What are you going to do?" Kiana asked reluctantly.

After spending a few days together, Su Xin's pessimism, which emanated from her, made her feel a little sorry for her.

She understood that the other person had always been in pain, just like when they left everyone to fight the World Serpent alone, doing things against their will, being pushed forward by fate.

"I want to try, to rebel against that high and mighty fate that does not allow disobedience, by using all sorts of unconventional methods."

After Su Xin finished speaking, she walked out of the room and closed the door.

Walking down the street, it was bustling with people.

A lively scene, a gentle breeze carrying a hint of fragrance and the heat.

With a blank stare, Su Xin wandered aimlessly, her long hair casually falling over her shoulders, obscuring most of her face.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, the lanterns are lit, crowds throng, lanterns and decorations adorn every place, cars and horses move in a continuous stream, and the bustling sounds of people chanting create a strong festive atmosphere.

There are also similar customs in the border regions of China during the Spring Festival.

The grass, a lazy, verdant green, stretches to the horizon, merging with the clear blue sky.

A gentle breeze filled his eyes, and a hazy mist shrouded his golden pupils, drizzling down like melting frost in the dead of winter, flowing endlessly along the dry country lanes.

As dusk settles, fleeting moments pass by, and everything seen changes in an instant.

Like a sudden change, the golden afterglow of the setting sun shone on Su Xin's face, mirroring the disorientation and confusion in her eyes as she struggled to open them.

In the naive and willful wilderness, a name called "Flame" suddenly appeared without warning, and from then on, loneliness and solitude arose in this wilderness.

In this world, there is actually nothing or no one worth Su Xin's lingering affection for.

He was tired and exhausted.

The boos were as loud as the cheers of yesteryear.

He did live amidst praise, people chanting his name and recounting his glorious deeds.

The dying man is smiling, while the living are weeping.

Su Xin failed to meet their expectations.

Those who volunteered to sacrifice themselves, or whose lives were lost because of him, encouraged Su Xin to keep going until their dying breath.

Wanting to rest, wanting to go but stopping again, don't you see the people in the play, neither sad nor happy, just like puppets on strings?

After leaving Kiana, Su Xin walked down the street, thinking. He closed his eyes and thought of his comrades from the Moth of Flame, of the fourteen heroes who chased the flame, of the billions of humans in the previous civilization.

He thought of Mei's tireless efforts, of Aili's cuteness in childhood, of Möbius's hypocrisy, of Qian Jie's exceptional gentleness, of Hua's honest and simple desire for the sacrifice and continuation of civilization, of his companions' steadfastness and departure. Finally, he thought of the past...

The one who wanted to become a hero in the story of Honkai Impact 3rd, the one who wanted to become a hero of the people of the former civilization, the one who gave everything and was in a sorry state to avert the tragedy.

Finally, he opened his eyes and smiled.

He flashed the standard villain's smile.

"People who focus too much on results usually don't get good results; those who wholeheartedly cherish something or someone often don't get the satisfaction they expect."

"For individuals, the process is far more important than the result, but they, the world, and everyone are waiting for an outcome."

"I want to end this tragedy."

Su Xin was fantasizing about that sweet, dreamlike future when a voice suddenly echoed in her mind:

Go get a good night's sleep, you're too tired.

Chapter 106 Cecilia and Otto 5k

Name: Anna Schariac;

Position: Rank A Valkyrie;

Valkyrie Profile: Anna Schariac;

Age: 18;

Height: 166cm;

Weight: 51kg;

CV:

A-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, currently the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad, responsible for defending the Coral Island area, with rich combat experience.

Born into the Shaniat family, she received anti-Honkai training from a young age. She became a Valkyrie at the age of twelve and was promoted to A-rank Valkyrie at the age of sixteen, serving as the vice-captain of the elite squad Snow Lotus.

In 2015, the Snow Lotus Squad was nearly wiped out during the Manila Collapse in Asia, with only Anna surviving. During that collapse, Anna single-handedly rescued dozens of victims. Due to her outstanding performance, Schicksal granted her permission to retain her unit, appointing her as its captain.

Theresa flipped through the files and realized that since St. Freya defected from Destiny and allied with Anti-Entropy, the burden on her shoulders had become increasingly heavy.

With Himeko gone, Theresa had few people she could trust and rely on.

Two more Herrschers have emerged on Coral Island. Fortunately, they are able to retain their human will for the time being. According to Anti-Entropy's observations, their human will will be completely extinguished within the next two days.

Theresa searched through all the files she took from Destiny, but couldn't find a clue, and a solution seemed even more distant.

"I wonder if Kiana should go home now that she's done being willful."

"Bang! Bang!" The knocking sounded, and Theresa no longer frantically hid her comic books as usual.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and Tesla and Ai Yin walked in, each carrying a large stack of opened files.

Theresa noticed that the two seemed to have relaxed a bit. Could it be that they were looking for Kiana?

"Are you looking for Kiana?" Theresa asked immediately.

Ai Yin shook her head and said calmly, "No, the World Serpent has been behaving strangely lately. It has blocked all information about Sky Dome City and even several surrounding cities. Even using satellites, we cannot retrieve specific images. It seems to be hiding a secret."

"Theresa, you don't need to worry either, because we've given you some breathing room."

"So if Kiana gets any news, she'll definitely come back to fight the new Herrscher with us. Even if she doesn't come back immediately, we can look for her on Coral Island. After all, given Kiana's personality, she can't just sit idly by, can she?"

“That’s right! Those two Herrschers on Coral Island caused such severe damage, destroying two entire towns! More than a thousand people died! We must end their lives while they still have their own will, and it is the duty of every human citizen!” Tesla said excitedly.

Theresa felt uneasy after hearing this. Anna, also a warrior fighting against Honkai, had been dedicated to her duties since becoming a Valkyrie, working tirelessly and bringing countless honors to her team.

Forcing her to end her life as a Lawyer would probably be difficult for the child to accept.

"Is there no way to salvage this? Since Kiana, Mei, and Bronya were able to possess human willpower while becoming Herrschers, then Anna too?"

Before Theresa could finish speaking, Tesla slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible. We've conducted so many simulations, and it's impossible for a Herrscher to escape the erosion of the Honkai destruction will through sheer willpower alone."

"Bronya was not born a Herrscher; she inherited the Herrscher of Reason through inheritance."

"Raiden Mei possesses a natural holy mark, and with the help of the World Serpent, the Conqueror Gem she implanted has awakened. The destructive will within the gem has long since vanished."

"Kiana is the best example. We've put in so much effort, but it's all for nothing. She's on the verge of collapse right now. The Herrscher of the Void's destructive will can devour Kiana's main personality at any time; it's only a matter of time."

"Isn't Otto been researching all along how to make ordinary humans retain their original will and personality after becoming Herrschers? The fact that he hasn't been able to reach a perfect conclusion after so many years proves one point, doesn't it?"

"Although it's a bit heartless, for the survival of more people, we have no choice but to kill her. It would be best if she could dispose of the body herself, so as not to waste any more combat power and resources."

After Tesla finished his rambling speech, the conference room fell silent.

In the most intuitive sense, Tesla is right.

This is precisely why Theresa kept going through the files, trying to find a certain document.

Family, friends, lover, dreams

Use some so-called beauty and love to kill her.

"Do we really mean this way?" Theresa countered.

Ai-in remained silent, while Tesla answered firmly: "Is there a better way? Besides, fighting the Honkai is the Valkyrie's duty. If her existence only brings more suffering and misfortune to more people, then why should she live?"
