Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

Alicia looked at the thing in front of her that looked like a rice cooker.

"Of course, I dismantled the spaceship to make this, so it can last for at least a while."

"What? How are we going to get back? And won't Vilvie be angry?"

“It’s a special case. Besides, we can go back once someone from above arrives. This Herrscher’s power is quite formidable; conventional methods really won’t work. I wonder how long this machine can last. Let’s contact ‘Moth of Flame’ quickly.”

After the communication, "Moths of Fire" finally discovered the unusually large amount of Honkai energy in Canghai City, and then dispatched a Honkai squad led by Himiko to Canghai City...

The moment Möbius hung up, the machine stopped working. Communication across the entire city of Canghai failed once again, and this time, a massive explosion occurred in the city center…

The Herrscher has been born...

Fortunately, after leaving Juexi's house, Mebius and Alicia first flew their spaceship to the outskirts of Canghai City. Otherwise, they would have been taken away by the two of them.

The immense power made Mebius exclaim, "Is this what a Herrscher is?" The explosion at the moment of its birth destroyed the central area in an instant, leaving only the edges and suburbs temporarily safe.

Alicia frowned, picked up her bow and arrow and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mebius.

"Alicia, where are you going?"

Alicia was unusually angry.

"I need to go to the center and find the 'Herrscher of Thunder.' Then..."

"And then what?! Do you think you're Superman?! Calm down, Alicia. All we can do right now is protect the people on the outskirts of the city. We'll make further plans once the main force arrives. If you go and we lose, everyone in Canghai City will die. If you don't go, we can save some people."

"Let's go, let's go rescue them, Doctor."

"and many more."

Mebius took some equipment and weapons and armed himself simply.

"This is my first time on the battlefield..."

"Don't worry, I will protect you, Dr. Mebius."

"Heh, no need for that. Just mind your own business. I'm not going to die so easily. Who knows who will outlive whom?"

"Good good."

As Alicia and Mebius chatted, they noticed a steady stream of Honkai Beasts and zombies arriving from the core area. At the same time, varying degrees of Honkai erupted in Changkong City.

...

"Don't worry, Mei, I will protect you."

"Ah."

……

In Canghai City, amidst the ruins in the city center, there was a glowing circular barrier that slowly disappeared after a short while.

With a wave of her hand, Jue Xi altered the surrounding space, transforming the outside scene into the Domination Theater.

"Phew, thank goodness my house is close to yours. Are you alright, Carol, and your aunt and uncle?"

"You are... Teacher Juexi?"

Carol couldn't believe what had just happened; she was still in a daze, only knowing that it was very bright and loud. Then, as if by magic, Juexi suddenly appeared in her house, followed by a blue barrier, like those in movies, appearing around her. Then, in a flash, she and her parents found themselves in this strange place.

"Wait a minute, I arrived just in time, didn't I? Carol, are you out of your mind?"

"Hey! I'm not stupid. Where am I? What just happened? Am I dreaming?"

Just as Jue Xi was about to reply, Carol heard a smug voice.

Welcome to ~The Theater of Domination~

Speechless. Damn it, this function was reset after the pre-civilization era, right?

"Dominate the theater? What does that mean?"

He reluctantly brushed it off.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. By the way, are your uncle and aunt alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright, young man. You must be the teacher Juexi that our young lady was talking about, right? And, this is..."

"Well, uncles and aunts, I can't explain it clearly in a short time. Anyway, please believe me, I didn't mean any harm. Um, just think of me as Superman, a god or something. Carol and I are good friends, and I just happened to save you all."

"what?"

The three, including Carol, were stunned. Carol asked a question that seemed to have a profound meaning.

"Teacher, I'm dreaming, right?"

"Idiot Carol, when someone is dreaming, they don't realize they're dreaming. Once they realize it, they'll wake up soon. I won't say any more. It's safe here. You guys stay here. I have some things to take care of."

After saying this, Jue Xi waved her hand and left the Domination Theater, returning outside. A large screen appeared out of thin air inside the Domination Theater. Jue Xi, worried that the three would be bored, even arranged for them to watch a movie.

"Don't worry about it, just treat it like watching a movie."

Jue Xi raised her hand, and a 'Pseudo-Sword of Domination' appeared in her grasp. As she slowly left the city center, she pondered in her mind.

I just tried it while traveling, and I can't use any of the power of the Void right now; I can only use the three types with a core. But why can I use 'Creation'? How strange.

Just as Jue Xi was pondering, a tank-class Honkai Beast, two or three stories tall, stomped directly at him.

"Tsk."

Jue Xi simply swung her sword. A sword aura slashed out, and the Honkai Beast was instantly split in two.

This scene truly shocked Carol's family for a whole year.

"Honey, that monster just now... it was gone in an instant?"

"That's right, little Carol, just who is your teacher?"

"I do not know either……"

Carol recalled how terrified she was six months ago when she encountered the "death squad," and how Hua had saved her, making her believe Hua was the best in the world. After that, she even mocked Teacher Juexi, calling him a sickly weakling. But... this, this is too incredible! Is this even human?

……

Meanwhile, in the distance, in the suburbs, Alicia looked wearily at the purple-haired woman in the sky.

Her body was covered in purple patterns, and sparks of electricity crackled around her.

"Pink woman, abandon your insect-like human identity. You are different from them. Join me. Let's bring Honkai to this world together."

huh... huh...

Alicia was panting heavily.

"Sorry, I still prefer the identity of 'human'~"

Alicia drew her bow again, aiming the arrow at the Herrscher of Thunder...

"Tsk, die, you bug."

Chapter 132 That's it? That's it? I haven't even used my full strength yet.

"Why, why are there so many 'death squads'..."

After receiving Juexi's call, Hua returned to the city center. She witnessed a huge explosion in the city center, followed by the appearance of many giant monsters and densely packed "death warriors"... The driver was so frightened that he wanted to turn around and run away. In the end, Hua insisted on going to the city center, and the driver had no choice but to leave her behind and run away.

"Carol, Teacher Juexi, please, please be alright..."

While dodging giant monsters and "dead soldiers" to avoid being discovered and wasting time, Hua endured the corrosive effects of "Honkai energy." Finally, after countless hardships, Hua reached the edge of the city center. Looking inward, all she saw was a sea of ​​fire…

Unlike outside, the city center no longer harbors giant monsters, only aimless "death warriors" wandering the streets. Judging from their clothing, it's easy to tell they were once human. Unlike the city's outskirts, where at least further from the city center you can hear people fleeing, crying, and begging for mercy, here, there's a deathly silence... it doesn't feel like anyone is alive.

Hua seemed to have lost her last breath; she exhaled a breath of stale air and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Hua gazed at the seemingly endless flames and ruins of the city center in the distance, then got up and walked a little further in. Looking towards her old school, the noodle shop that used to stand there was gone too. She and Carol had promised to go there again when school started; she hadn't even gone to the new fried chicken place near the school with Carol yet; there were so many things she hadn't done…

Hua muttered to himself, his eyes vacant.

"Gone, all gone, Carol, Teacher Juexi... All my memories of Canghai City, ah. Judging from what Teacher Juexi said on the phone, my hometown is probably suffering the same thing now. Home. Do I still have a home?"

Hua heard a sound behind him and turned around to see two "death warriors" holding long swords slowly walking towards him.

"Death warriors? Let me help you find release. Or, you can help me find release..."

Hua took two deep breaths, then struggled to assume a stance for his inch punch.

"Come on, monster!"

The assassin seemed to understand Hua's words, and immediately raised his hand and swung his knife at Hua.

With a whooshing sound, a deep wound appeared on Hua's arm.

"what……"

Hua thought to herself. It hurts so much. She'd been training even harder since that incident. Why did her body feel so heavy? She could see it, but she couldn't escape…

Despite his thoughts, Hua immediately moved, dodging most of the damage. Then, with all his might, he punched the "assassin" straight at the throat. The assassin flew out, and another assassin swung his knife down. Hua staggered and dodged, this time completely avoiding the attack, but because he was too hasty, he lost his balance and sat down on the ground.

The assassin who had just been knocked away stood up again in an inhuman posture, while strangely twisting his neck...

Hua sat on the ground, looking down at his red and swollen fist.

"Is this all I can do? Looks like I'm going to die too."

Watching the assassins slowly approaching in the distance and the assassins raising their long swords again before her, Hua closed her eyes. She had thought that death would come and she would cry and scream, but when it actually arrived, she was so calm. Was it because of anger? Or was it a self-mocking anger at her own powerlessness?

"Father, Carol, Teacher Juexi. I'm going to find you."

Just as she was about to give up, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Now is not the time to despair, Hua."

Hua opened his eyes and turned around, shouting loudly.

"Teacher Juexi!"

Hua saw that Juexi was completely untouched by dirt and wondered if he had just been killed and was now in heaven...

Jue Xi raised her hand, revealing a blue longsword that emitted a faint black aura. With a couple of light swings, two sword energies flew towards her!

"I must be dreaming. How did my teacher become a celestial being..."

With two sword strikes, the two assassins vanished into thin air. Jue Xi came to Hua's side and looked at the purple lines spreading on her arm.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that the main characters were indeed different. Normal people would have turned into "suicide squads" long ago if they came to this place. Hua's resistance to Honkai energy was exceptionally high.

"Renren, Hua, let me treat you."
