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

"But you can't save anyone's life."

She wielded two pistols, and the figures on her body kept changing, including the White Ribbon from her former academy days and the Herrscher of the Void, a nightmare that once floated in the air.

She was still covered in wounds, and her pupils kept turning gold.

She covered herself with both hands, her pupils contracting violently as she fought against the consciousness within.

Kiana, will you save them?

A few feathers appeared, and Fu Hua's silhouette appeared for a fleeting moment.

Finally, Bai Lian's figure stabilized completely. Her straight back and determined eyes made people forget that she was just a student not long ago.

【Himeko-sensei....】

Let's forge the path forward together.

She spoke softly, her expression gentle and sorrowful, holding two guns with a resolve stronger than ever.

With a rousing voice, her outfit changed drastically once again. Her long white hair cascaded down her shoulders, she had heterochromatic blue and gold eyes, and wore a simple gray-black combat uniform with star patterns on the small shawl on her back.

Her right leg was wrapped in a black stocking, and her left thigh had a black leg ring, creating a unique aesthetic through asymmetry.

She was facing forward, as if heading towards the future.

Himeko's figure appeared behind her, supporting this strong girl.

...

"Kiana is such a strange character..." Mei exclaimed, looking at the figure in the PV.

"Hehe, Mei, isn't it cool?" Kiana peeked out from over her shoulder, smiling familiarly.

"No, I prefer the lively Kiana now."

"What? I think some of them make me look really cool!" Kiana said, extending her right hand in a gun gesture and pointing it at the Honkai Beast on the screen.

She closed one eye, aimed, and said, "Biubiu~~," then pointed at Bronya's little head. Bronya glared at Kiana.

Kiana gave an awkward smile, then aimed at the other items in the room and made a "bang" sound.

Luo Mo finished his work and came in to check the released PVs. He mainly released a glimpse of the Sky Ranger PV, while the Herrscher of Reason PV...

"Hehe, boss, you think it's cool too, right?" Kiana giggled as usual after making the childish gesture.

"You'll be even more handsome in the future!" Luo Mo chuckled, then opened the game download to all players.

"Wow~ even cooler! Isn't this me with the high ponytail in the footprints?!" Kiana's eyes lit up. As she spoke, she picked up her hair with her hand, imitating the Herrscher of Fire's hair accessory, and even turned around to show it off.

"Pfft, no way, Kiana, it doesn't look like her at all!" Mei laughed and stopped Kiana from imitating her.

"Oh, I know, Mei... I wanted to show where I'm lacking. My mom said I didn't look like myself when I was at home." Kiana nudged Mei, expressing her dissatisfaction.

“Idiot Kiana is still a long way off,” Bronya said.

...

The video then played again, showing a giant mechanical arm accompanying the petite Bronya.

Her hair was slightly curled, styled in four spirals down her back, and her layered blue and white dress was very elegant.

A sparkling sapphire adorned her chest, while her thighs formed a striking pure white "absolute territory."

【Our promise...】

Bronya will never forget!

She spoke of an agreement with someone unknown, her eyes filled with an unwavering determination to win.

...

"Bronya, is that you?" Seele looked at Bronya in the video, who was manipulating a giant mechanical arm, her eyes filled with longing.

“Of course, Seele, and the agreement Bronya mentioned is definitely an agreement with you.”

Bronya held Seele's hand and spoke with conviction.

"Um... Bronya, it's not appropriate in front of so many people..." Seele's face flushed slightly upon seeing this, and she burrowed behind Bronya, steam rising from her head.

"Ahem—" Seeing Kiana, Mei, and Luo Mo watching them, she coughed awkwardly and said,

"Bronya was just a little excited to find Seele. It's normal interaction between sisters. Bronya... never lies!"

“We didn’t say you lied, Bronya, did we?” Luo Mo raised an eyebrow and said with a mischievous smile.

"Hmph... Boss, isn't Bronya in the video a Herrscher?" Bronya asked, but her tone was one of absolute certainty.

"Will Bronya also become a Herrscher?" Seele asked in surprise from behind.

"Indeed, it is the law of reason," Luo Mo nodded in agreement.

"As expected... Aren't all Herrschers supposed to have longer hair, wear new dresses, and have strange patterns added to their eyes? Bronya sees that the Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Thunder, and Seele in the game are all like that!"

Bronya provided evidence and examples to support her reasoning, hitting the key points step by step, making it a perfect argument.

"Clap clap clap—" Luo Mo couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer, "That's right!"

"Okay, let's skip that for now. Bronya just wants to ask a question: Aren't Herrschers catastrophic in Honkai Impact? Why are the three main characters in the game Herrschers?"

Bronya tilted her head, looking at Luo Mo with a puzzled expression.

"...Actually, we're not much better off right now," Luo Mo said, scratching his head, then pointing to Mei and Seele.

"Don't you still have plenty of Herrschers around you?"

Bronya and Kiana counted the two people beside them, plus Wendy in class. Kiana also suspected that her sister Sirin might actually be the Herrscher of the Void.

Wow, I'm surrounded by Herrschers?

"Kiana/Bronya, don't you like Herrschers?" Mei asked, feigning composure while Seele asked pitifully.

"No, that's not true!" The two shook their heads repeatedly.

"Don't follow my example!" The two glared at each other angrily.

Chapter 2 Kiana of Sky City

"Hmm!? We've seen Kiana in her mature form, and we've also observed Bronya in her Herrscher of Reason form!?"

Alicia projected a video onto the wall of the Golden Garden using a projector. She wiped her mouth with her hand, turned her head, and smiled, "Now, let's get into the main storyline."

Lying on the sofa, the beautiful snake Mebius raised her eyes and said weakly, "So, why did you make us all come here? Don't you know we have a lot of things to do? The game can wait."

“Yes, yes, this time I’m surprisingly agreeing with Mebius!” said Vervi, who was also half-lying on the sofa, looking equally dejected.

God knows what time those two went to sleep.

To be honest, as night owls... no, high-tech researchers, they are not used to the bodies of ordinary people. They often work day and night, and an experiment can last all day. How could they possibly stop!

Furthermore, with Himeko's departure, Alicia's Stigmata power was barely enough to sustain thirteen ordinary people, leaving her with little power remaining.

The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood what the other was thinking.

(We must expedite the acquisition of Stigmata/reduce equipment wear and tear!)

Then, the two of them looked at Alicia, who was talking eloquently in front of them.

"Oh, I think it's rare for us all to get together, so we should participate in more team building activities."

Alicia laughed and said, then suddenly thought of something, covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised, "Oh! Could it be... that you actually agree more with Kevin eating instant noodles together?"

All the heroes turned to look at Kevin, who stood there like a block of ice. Although they were all ordinary people, he seemed to possess some kind of power.

Kevin shook his head and calmly said, "I didn't say that."

He paused, then hesitated, "However, if you're willing..."

“Kevin, Gretchen is still young, eating instant noodles…” Aponia hesitated.

"Forget it, you big ice block, I'd rather have my barbecue!" Qianjie snorted coldly.

"Oh, Qianjie, you even learned how to barbecue?" Mebius's sleepiness was dispelled, and she asked in surprise.

"Then you'll have to go ask that woman in pink!" Qian Jie said with a displeased expression, his anger palpable even behind his mask.

"Alright, alright, Kevin, stop thinking about your instant noodles, we'll talk about them later, okay? Right now, our team-building activity is watching games!"

Alicia clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention, and she chuckled softly.

"Now it's time to take a look at the game's specific storyline!"

...

"Hello everyone, today I'm here to show you the game Honkai Impact 3!"

Wearing a blue and white dress, Bella said in front of the camera that her live stream name is "Your Majesty".

As for who it refers to, it is naturally her Lady Sirin!

Hehe, thinking of Sirin, Bella couldn't help but grin foolishly.

"This streamer is hopeless; she just keeps grinning like an idiot."

"Bring it up quickly, the new chapter of Honkai Impact 3."

"Ahem," Bella snapped out of her reverie, her smile fading as she said seriously, "The host is involved in miHoYo's promotional plan. Let's all watch the host's explanation."

For her queen, even a mighty Honkai Dragon had to perform online. But for her queen... it was all worth it.

Bella made a vow in her heart: she would definitely become a useful dragon.

The screen was completely black, then white text appeared.

With the awakening of the Herrscher of the Void, the world has fallen into a great collapse.

Kiana was washed ashore on the shore of a seaside city. As the waves crashed against her, her closed eyes resembled those of Sleeping Beauty.

At this moment, the Honkai patterns on her body had completely faded, and she held the last reagent that Himeko had given her in her hand.

[Three months after the second major collapse]

Then the scene shifts to a high-tech city, where skyscrapers and lights illuminate every corner, creating a colorful spectacle.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, in a small alley, a Honkai Beast was gradually forcing two civilians back. It roared and, step by step, squeezed their living space, choosing to devour them.

"Don't come any closer!" cried the person in the corner helplessly, hoping for a hero.
