Miss Surtr will ignite the world

Golden tree roots wrapped around her body, binding her to the spot like chains, making it extremely difficult for her to even lift a finger, like a flying insect trapped in amber.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and that wasn't the only bad thing.

Something she had overlooked finally revealed itself at this moment.

The time has come.

Siegfried, who had been hiding not far away and had transformed into a white bird, removed his disguise the moment the Spear of Light appeared.

It wasn't some mutual understanding.

However, it was a signal that had been agreed upon before the war.

Although Siegfried wanted to rush out to help several times, Surtr's confident demeanor made him hold back.

And the other party did the same, so it was his turn next.

Siegfried's eyes were bloodshot, and his two pistols had already been combined in his hands, transforming into a greatsword of heavenly fire that burned with the will to destroy.

A storm of flames rose from the blade.

"Cirin, give me back my daughter!"

Siegfried roared as he channeled Honkai energy into the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, the brilliance of the flames overshadowing the sun in the sky.

Even before the scorching heatwave arrived, the air around Sirin had already begun to burn.

Why did the bird become Siegfried?

This kind of question is obviously no longer important at this moment.

The shadow of death, like a cold, giant hand, gripped her throat, and for the first time, true fear appeared in her golden eyes.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

How can I die here!

In her gradually stagnant consciousness, Sirin roared, her core trembling, pushing her power to its limit, using the authority of the Herrscher of the Void to fight against the confinement of the Wedge of Light.

Tsk, so her Holy Lance alone isn't enough to completely restrain the Herrscher of the Void?

The tree roots cracked open, and Sirin showed faint signs of breaking free, but the falling heavenly fire would undoubtedly be even faster.

Surtr had anticipated this, and raised his lance as the heavenly fire fell.

Siegfried, wielding the Divine Key that represents the ultimate destruction, unleashed a merciless sword strike at Sirin, who was immobilized by the Wedge of Light.

The crimson flames painted death upon the Herrscher's pale face.

No! She can't die here!

In despair, Sirin frantically drew upon the last vestiges of power deep within her consciousness, communicating with the remnants left over from the second collapse in her mind.

A black feather fell from the sky.

"Dad...!"

Just before the devastating sword was about to touch Sirin's body, a clear, helpless, and confused voice belonging to Kiana entered the depths of Siegfried's mind.

At the same time, his vision blurred, and the person in his sight was no longer the Herrscher of the Void, but his daughter Kiana, who was looking at him with her deep blue, fearful eyes.

The Third Honkai Impact: Chapter 26 Infinite Corridor

"Kiana..."

Siegfried felt as if his heart had been pierced by the sharpest ice pick, and his sword-wielding motion faltered fatally, instinctively.

The raging flames that should have burned everything were abruptly deflected when they were only a hair's breadth away from Sirin's body. The torrent of scorching energy swept past Sirin's body and instantly turned a large area of ​​buildings behind her into molten ruins!

A fleeting opening.

"Ha...foolish...fatherly love."

Despite avoiding a direct hit, the pain from the aftershocks of the Heavenly Fire contorted Sirin's expression, but she still couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a sinister grin, mocking in an ambiguous voice.

Seizing this only chance of survival, Sirin's physical pain transformed into an even more violent burst of Honkai energy!

Siegfried's body flew backward, the violent shock jolting him awake from his daze. His gaze fell again, and there was Sirin, who had already escaped.

"Click".

The golden patterns wrapped around her shattered inch by inch, the wedge of light that fixed the space let out a wail, and the power over the space returned to its master once again.

But there was no excitement about it.

The crisis is not completely over. Although its own constraints have been lifted, the blockade around it still exists, and it will take much longer to tear through space.

But there's simply no time for that now.

Because that eerie red-haired woman appeared before her once again.

What he was holding was no longer the Flame Sword, but a huge lance.

The tip of the gun was ignited, and the flames turned the silver-white gun body crimson.

There is no way to avoid it.

We have no choice but to tough it out.

"What a persistent ghost!"

Cursing inwardly, Sirin placed one hand in front of her, and the Honkai energy within her surged forth, reconstructing the pale blue barrier of imaginary numbers.

Then, the two collided.

There was no deafening explosion, only a heart-pounding energy surge erupting at the center of both sides.

The flames continued to erode the distorted space, and the stalemate lasted only a moment.

Like a red-hot nail piercing butter, the imaginary barrier groaned under its strain, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its surface.

"Pfft."

The sharp spear tip pierced the barrier, and the next moment, the barrier shattered, and Surtr's lance struck Sirin like a thunderclap.

But the girl in front of him gave a smile that was hard to decipher.

One second, two seconds.

Even after ten seconds, the tip of the gun still hadn't reached the expected endpoint.

"Welcome to the Infinite Cage."

The sound of Celine's voice rang in my ears, and before I knew it, the scenery around me had changed completely.

It was neither an attack nor a restraint. All around were distorted light and shadow and shattered spatial reflections, space stretched, folded, and looped infinitely. The seemingly close distance between her and Sirin now felt as if separated by countless overlapping spatial dimensions.

"...Really?"

Surtr stopped, looked around, and said quietly.

outside world.

“Surtr”.

Siegfried only saw Surtr's figure blur and twist in the air, then seem to be sucked into an invisible vortex and disappear from the spot in an instant.

"Hahaha...cough cough!"

Celine played with the square box in her hand, letting out a hearty laugh mixed with a painful cough.

It appears to be using an imaginary barrier, but in reality, it's to construct an infinite corridor to delay time.

She realized that this woman was impossible to kill.

Even if it's cut in half, even if it obliterates space, this guy will be completely unharmed.

There's no need to waste time with this kind of person. Once she gets out, just find a place to bury her. No, just throw her into space, preferably into the sun.

Just as she was pondering this, a destructive energy that sent chills down her spine locked onto her once again.

Siegfried has completely broken free from the influence of Feathered Dust, and the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire has been reignited.

Celine looked away from the box.

Although the heavenly fire before her could easily kill her, who was already severely injured, there was no fear on her face.

Because she was already prepared to run away!

There was no other way. Although she really wanted to grind the opponent to dust right there, her injuries didn't allow her to continue fighting. If she didn't run away soon, she would be eating heavenly fire.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time. Feel honored."

The last words echoed in the air, and Sirin's body became transparent.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Siegfried roared, and the flames of his heavenly fire slashed towards his opponent's body.

boom!

A storm of fire engulfed Sirin, and the raging energy once again cleansed everything around her.

But when the energy storm subsided, the opponent's body had vanished without a trace.

Siegfried was left alone at the scene, facing the devastated ruins and a complete failure.

The sun disappeared, and the heavy night enveloped the earth once more, as if to devour all hope.

"Cough cough!"

On the rooftop, Siegfried knelt on one knee, with the Judgment of Heavenly Fire beside him. The backlash from his full-force attack was transmitted over at that moment.

Coughing violently, Siegfried pounded the ground.

"Damn it."

His face was filled with regret.

He squandered the opportunity Surtr created, and even his opponent was trapped in the Infinite Corridor.

Given the strength the opponent displayed, there might not be any need to worry about safety, but Sirin escaped again because of his mistake.

It's always been like this; since Cecilia's death, he doesn't seem to have accomplished anything successful.

He can't do anything.

Siegfried mentally dismissed the thought, took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the outpost outside the city.

After all, he's not a child; one failure wouldn't cause him to break down mentally.

The thing to do now isn't to blame himself; without Surtr to guide him, he simply couldn't find Sirin, who could be teleported to.

First, take those two children to a safe place, then try to contact the two from Anti-Entropy; their detectors should have a solution.

In fact, Anti-Entropy and Destiny should have already received information about the Honkai outbreak.

So much time has passed, it should be almost here by now.

Changkong City, outskirts.

Xilin's body fell through the door and she knelt on the ground, panting heavily, with two tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"It hurts."

Even though she wasn't directly hit, the aftershocks of the fire at such close range still caused her considerable damage.

It was as if the whole thing had been thrown into a frying pan and deep-fried.

She hadn't had time to pay attention during the previous battle, but now that she was away from the battlefield, the pain in her body surged back like a rebound from rock bottom.

It's Siegfried again, it's him again.

Celine felt that she and that guy were naturally incompatible, and every time she got hurt, it was because of him.

She was so careful this time, but it still turned out like this!

Oh, and that red-haired woman too.

As she spoke, Celine held up the black box in her hand.

Rather, the reason she was in such a sorry state this time was entirely this guy's doing. I don't know what methods he used, but he was able to seal off her powers.

Space? Forget it, there's no way to go there right now.

Just bury it in the ground.

As Sirin thought this, she prepared to activate the teleportation.
