To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Theresa's expression froze. She stared at Luo Mo's face, blinked, as if she hadn't heard what he said.

"Himeko...the teacher's funeral?" Kallen murmured, repeating the words as if they carried a thousand pounds of weight.

Suddenly, she smiled helplessly.

"That's really a twisted sense of humor..."

"Once the other party's information is confirmed, the matter should be concluded no matter what."

Luo Mo said seriously,

His eyes were determined, but he was actually hoping to gain another wave of emotional appeal.

But officially saying goodbye to Himeko undoubtedly represents a new round of growth for the main characters, which is good.

Theresa was left looking like she was questioning the meaning of life. Was she only allowed to speak at Himeko's funeral?

No, no, no, the key point should be this—why does Himeko have to die again?

...

As Sirin looked at Kiana's appearance in the game, she silently clenched her fists.

For the first time, I felt different emotions towards my younger sister—was it admiration, envy, or praise?

She couldn't figure it out.

Kiana's expectant look when she first received the sketch was unbelievable. How could she have become like that? Then... then, could she still have the nerve to remain a recluse?

Originally, there were two useless people in a family, and they lived in peace. But if one of them had to wake up, then the other would have to try to make progress.

But regardless of the changes in her opponents in reality, or the hardships she faced in the game, Kiana overcame one disaster after another, defeating the Herrscher of Knowledge, Sirin, and the Herrscher of a Thousand.

While feeling proud of the other party, I also felt a sense of urgency.

"What, is Sirin also happy for Kiana?" Cecilia asked gently.

She was genuinely proud and satisfied with Kiana. As a parent, although she wanted to personally help Kiana bear those hardships, seeing her ultimately become...

"Hmph—I wonder, without the powers of the Herrscher of the Void, could the other party still become like the one in the video?"

Celine didn't back down and retorted defiantly.

"Hmm—, don't worry about that. Kiana became a hero not because of the Herrscher of the Void's powers. Like now, she's gained other powers, hasn't she?"

"That's true... but, my eldest sister was already that powerful before she even became a Herrscher."

"Hey, Sirin, why do you still have a problem with Kiana, just like in the game? Are you worried that you won't be able to slack off anymore?"

Cecilia poked Sirin's forehead and said with a mischievous grin.

Recently, my two daughters have made tremendous progress in their studies and see each other as rivals, which feels a bit like an arms race.

"No way~ I, I really was thinking of her, she's my sister after all."

Xilin's face flushed slightly, as if her thoughts had been touched.

To be honest, this wasn't her first thought; it was more of aversion. But when she put it into a concrete goal, this became hers… It makes her seem like she's only good at slacking off!

"Oh? Is that really the case?"

"Really!! Why would I lie to my mom?"

...

The Herrscher of a Thousand has failed, that much is certain. Kiana looked down at the last broken doll, sunlight bathing her like a warrior returning home.

"You lost."

In the sunlight, Kiana held her greatsword level, looked at the weak and powerless doll kneeling on the ground, and said softly.

This battle between hero and malice has finally come to an end.

She won, though it wasn't an easy victory.

"We lost... Yes, we lost..."

The doll was no longer as arrogant as before, nor did it mock or slander; it was merely somewhat incredulous and bewildered.

"But what did we lose to..."

"Did they lose to justice, to hope, or simply to power...?"

The doll spoke in a panic, its voice growing softer and softer.

It didn't understand... why it had lost... when it clearly had the advantage in both numbers and strength.

But the final result was like this...

"You wouldn't understand."

"But we want to understand, Kiana!"

The doll immediately chimed in, looking at Kiana's figure nearby, its lifeless eyes filled with longing and envy.

"Kiana, we really envy you... Why do you always win?"

"No matter what obstacles you encounter, you will not waver; no matter what dire situation you face, you can turn danger into safety on your own."
