Looking at this face that only existed in his dreams, even though he knew it was fake and just a disguise, Siegfried had an urge to cry.

"I, I know."

Avoiding Cecilia's sight, Siegfried turned his head away, not daring to look at her. He knew it was Hanabi in disguise, but looking at that familiar face, Siegfried was really afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions if he continued to look at it.

"Mei, could you please go home first? Once I find Kiana, we'll come find you together."

After dealing with Siegfried, Cecilia turned to look at Raiden Mei and asked with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Until now, Mei Raiden is still a little confused, not knowing what happened and why Kiana suddenly ran away.

Her face was filled with confusion, but since Hanabi said so, she would do it.

However, when Hanabi and Kiana come back, she will definitely find out what exactly happened.

Thunder in the Sky: Chapter 17: The Queen Awakens

"It's all because of me. It's all my fault. Dad's arm, those older sisters..."

The memories that flashed back in her mind seemed to take Kiana back many years ago, when Siegfried had not yet left.

Why did I forget? Why did I forget something so important?

"Yes, that's right. It's all because of you. You are the culprit of everything. Siegfried's arm is missing, it's all your fault. You also killed those Valkyries with your own hands."

Faintly, it seemed as if a voice sounded in Kiana's ears. The voice was full of temptation, tearing open the wound in Kiana's heart again and again.

Memories emerged in my mind like a fountain.

Life with Siegfried.

When I first didn't even have a name, every day I felt lonely waiting for Siegfried to come back.

After getting the name, he wanted to help Siegfried, and tried again and again, but in the end he failed miserably.

Those simple and happy times when I lived with Siegfried in Siberia.

And in the end, the happy and joyful time was destroyed by my own hands.

Some of these memories were originally hidden in Kiana's heart.

There are also some memories that make Kiana feel very unfamiliar.

But at this moment, Kiana, filled with guilt, no longer cared about the strangeness in her memories. She instinctively accepted those memories and accepted that they were herself.

It was I who ruined everything, it was I who destroyed the happy times with Siegfried.

If it weren't for her willfulness, if it weren't for her sins, they could have continued to live happily.

[Yes, that's it, tearing the human heart apart, Kiana, you don't belong here, that's not your life, come, embrace everything in the past and become the real you.]

There seemed to be multiple voices overlapping in her ears, which was a bit uncomfortable and painful, but the voices still continued to penetrate into Kiana's mind.

It was so painful, as if my whole body was being torn apart.

Staggering forward, Kiana didn't know where she was or where she should go.

Her heart was filled with pain, but she vaguely felt as if someone was guiding her to a certain place.

"Kiana, I finally caught up with you."

Just when Kiana felt drowsy and didn't know what she was doing or where to go, a gentle voice came from behind her.

Cecilia, who had said goodbye to Siegfried and the others, finally caught up with Kiana.

"Hanabi, don't, don't come any closer."

Seeing Cecilia following her, Kiana's expression softened for a moment, but soon returned to a look of pain and rejection.

The three of them had been playing together for so long that Kiana had already known that Cecilia was Hanabi in disguise, and Hanabi had not deliberately concealed it from her.

At the very beginning when the three of them were shopping in the mall, Hanabi had already told Kiana that her current form was to lure out Siegfried.

Kiana had no idea who this person named Cecilia that Hanabi had transformed into was.

But Kiana really likes this image named Cecilia. Kiana instinctively thinks that it may be because this image is within her strike zone.

So, whether it's because of the image Hanabi has transformed into, or because Hanabi has become Kiana's friend, she doesn't want her to get close to her now.

It was as if she was trapped in the past. The memories of the past were attacking Kiana. She was very scared and terrified, worried that she would hurt others like she did in the past.

"It's okay, Kiana. No matter what happens, you can always trust Hanabi..."

Ignoring Kiana's refusal, Hanabi maintained Cecilia's form and opened her arms to hug Kiana tightly.

Cecilia, she is not only Siegfried's white moonlight, but also the exclusive weapon for the special attack against Xilin. Of course, if it is the real Cecilia.

"Go away, you imposter."

The moment Cecilia hugged her, Kiana's entire body softened.

But the next second, as if her weakness was stimulated, Kiana's sky blue eyes were instantly dyed gold.

Anger and irritability appeared on Kiana's face, and she pushed Cecilia away and broke away from her embrace.

"Oh, good morning, Queen of the Sky. You really do like Cecilia. Just a small hug woke the Queen who was sleeping in."

She took two steps back and looked up to meet Kiana's golden eyes. There was no surprise on Cecilia's face. She waved and greeted her calmly.

"Don't stand in front of me like she's the one who's doing it, bastard."

Unlike Kiana's golden eyes, which carried a strong sense of oppression, she stared at Cecilia coldly.

He frowned and spat out cold words one by one, almost gritting his teeth, as if he would tear her to pieces in the next second if he didn't do what Xilin said.

"What a surprise! It turns out the Queen doesn't like her. I actually quite like her the way she is now."

Cecilia looked down at herself. Her towering chest blocked her view, making it impossible to see her toes. This experience was novel and interesting.

"Do you want to die!"

His eyes widened slightly, and in the void, golden ripples brought spears pointing at Cecilia, as if they would shoot out at any time.

"Okay, okay, stop staring at me like that. It's such a shame to have such a pretty face with such a scary expression. How about smiling? The Queen's smile is definitely very beautiful."

Faced with Xilin's threat, Hanabi shrugged helplessly and changed back to her original appearance.

However, while turning back into Fireworks, she continued to tease the proud queen.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm a clown like you? Stop talking nonsense and give me back my half life (the Conquest Gem)."

Staring coldly at Hanabi in front of her, Xilin's mood did not improve at all even though Hanabi obediently changed back to her original appearance.

She stretched out her right hand towards Hanabi, asking for what originally belonged to her as if it were her right.

As an apostle of Honkai, the moment she saw Hanabi, Sirin knew that Hanabi was a Herrscher like herself, and that the Herrscher's power core was hidden in her body.

Moreover, it was not just Hanabi's Herrscher core, she also felt the Conqueror Gem that originally belonged to her on Hanabi's body.

The Gem of Conquest was the power she gave to her best friend Benares. No one else was allowed to defile it, not even Hanabi, who was also an apostle of Honkai.

"Want to conquer the gem? Too bad it already belongs to Hanabi."

Thunder in the Sky: Chapter 18 Don't Touch There

"Want to conquer the gem? Too bad, it already belongs to Hanabi."

His eyes swept over the Sub-Sky Spears that were floating behind Xilin, with their tips extending from the imaginary space.

Hanabi narrowed her eyes and a smile that she had expected appeared on the corner of her mouth. Without the replenishment of Honkai energy, the Queen of the Sky really couldn't exert much strength.

After all, the current owner of this body is still Kiana, even if Kiana is not clear about her own identity and does not know the Herrscher core hidden in her body.

Kiana, who has always regarded herself as an ordinary person, instinctively suppressed the power of the Herrscher Core, so that there is not much Honkai energy left in the Herrscher Core now.

The Herrscher of the Void is the best at controlling imaginary space among all the Herrschers. This is not only reflected in her control over spatial abilities, but also makes her the one with the strongest endurance and sustained output capabilities among all the Herrschers.

After all, the power of the Herrscher is related to the imaginary space. The door in the Herrscher of the Void's body that connects to the imaginary space to obtain Honkai energy is also larger than that of other Herrschers, so he can obtain more Honkai energy in a short period of time.

However, the amount of Honkai energy that can be retrieved from the imaginary space is limited. No matter how big a door is, it is still a door, and a door has limitations on how much can be passed through. Retrieving Honkai energy from a door is definitely not as good as obtaining it directly in reality.

This is also the reason why Sirin has been unable to get out of Kiana. The previous awakening in Siberia was not only due to Siegfried's stimulation, but also because she stayed in one place for a long time, which gave Sirin the opportunity to accumulate Honkai energy.

After the overall improvement of the Honkai energy intensity of the surrounding environment, Xilin's awakening became a natural process.

This time, because the intensity of the surrounding Honkai energy was not high, even if Sirin's consciousness could temporarily replace Kiana's consciousness, it would not be able to exert much strength.

"Joker, do you really want to die once?"

The golden pupils revealed a strong murderous intent, and the little remaining Honkai energy in the Herrscher's core was fully mobilized.

Although her current condition is not good, and can even be said to be extremely bad, the Queen of the Sky is still "fearless".

She is just a mere clown. Even though both are daughters of God, Xilin is confident that she is the most favored one.

Moreover, Xilin did not feel much Honkai energy from Hanabi.

The Herrscher in front of him, although called a Herrscher, had even less Honkai energy than an ordinary human.

How could such a Herrscher possibly threaten the Queen of the Sky?

Therefore, it is better to kill such a disobedient clown directly. Her Herrscher core can also serve as nourishment for her recovery.

Thinking of this, Xilin was not ready to continue talking nonsense. She squeezed the remaining Honkai energy in the Herrscher's core, expanded the imaginary void behind her, and prepared to shoot out the Sub-Void Spear hidden in it.

In the eyes of the Sky Queen, Sirin, a Herrscher who is not even as good as an ordinary person can be killed with just one blow.

However, the Honkai energy in the body was consumed, the range of the virtual void expanded, but the prepared Sub-Void Spear did not shoot out as Xilin expected.

What's going on? Where's my Spear of the Archon?

The expected attack did not materialize, which made Xilin look behind her in confusion.

The imaginary void and the Sub-Void Spear that he had unfolded indeed existed behind him, but transparent silk threads that came from nowhere were wrapped around the Sub-Void Spear one after another, firmly fixing it in place.

"It's you! You're just playing tricks. I'm going to..."

The golden eyes, filled with shock and anger, suddenly looked at Hanabi in front of him. Although there was not much Honkai energy in her body, it stimulated Xilin's heart again and again.

Whether it was transforming into Cecilia or luring out Siegfried, even now, you were bold enough to stop the Queen's judgment. Who gave you the courage?

"Alright, alright. After all, we're colleagues, right? We all work under the same boss, so we should get along well, right?

Besides, you don't have much Honkai energy left, and I've used up all of it, so there's no point in fighting for life and death now.

How about we try a different approach to decide who's better? Come on, Queen, please give Hua Bi some face. I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

Facing Xilin's almost vicious expression, Huahu approached her nonchalantly.

With a wave of his hand, he controlled the dominant thread to stuff all the sub-space spears back into the imaginary space. Then, Hua Huo grabbed Xilin's right hand and pulled her in another direction.

"What are you doing? Let me go. I won't go. The queen's body is not something a clown like you can touch casually. Let me go now. I'm going to lose my temper. I really am going to lose my temper. Wow, why are you still pushing it further? Don't touch there."

Before Xilin could get angry, Hua Huo dragged her to the other side.

The Honkai energy in the core was almost exhausted. Facing Hanabi's toughness, Sirin could only rely on Kiana's physical fitness to struggle and resist.

But surprisingly, although Hanabi looks thin, she is not much weaker than Kiana in strength.

No matter how Xilin struggled, she was finally dragged forward by Huahu. After her arm was grabbed, Huahu even went further and touched Xilin's waist.

The strange itching sensation weakened Xilin's resistance a little bit. For a moment, Xilin was completely defeated.

Ignoring Xilin's resistance, Hanabi dragged her away.

However, when pulling Xilin away, Hua Huo glanced thoughtfully at the tall building where Xilin had just stood.

That is the ME company building, which was originally managed by Raiden Mei's father, Raiden Ryoma.

Kiana might be running around without a purpose, but Sirin would not let Kiana come to such a place without a purpose.

Kiana's coming here must have been caused by Sirin. So why did Sirin lead Kiana to ME Club?

Here, I think, is what Xilin needs most right now - Honkai energy.

Speaking of which, ME Company seems to be a weapons factory affiliated with Anti-Entropy. Since it is a weapons factory, it definitely needs energy. Could it be that the Honkai energy used by the Cocolia Plan to detonate the Honkai is in ME Company?

Why did I forget to come to ME Club before? That stupid fox Cocolia might be here.

It’s all because the story of Honkai Impact 3rd is too fragmented. It’s a game, a comic, and a novel. Can’t it all be crammed into the game?
