Honkai Impact 3rd, I started as Spain's daughter?

"Shut up... I..."

"I have lived up to her expectations!"

Although Raiden Mei had been badly beaten before, her emotions were still relatively stable. However, once Shiana mentioned Yomi, Raiden Mei couldn't sit still anymore.

Seeing Raiden Mei swing her knife at her again, Shiana's expression was complicated.

She possesses the memories of both Huang Quan and Xiao Qi, but she remains bewildered by Raiden Mei's strange behavior.

From both Huang Quan's and Xiao Qi's perspectives, Mei's feelings for Huang Quan shouldn't be so strange...

It's normal for Mei to abandon her own father, Raiden Ryoma, since he's no longer the center of her life. But what about Kiana and Alicia?

You didn't come back straight after sprouting 1!

If you were heterosexual, Shiana wouldn't be too surprised, but your current behavior shows you don't like the pretty girls around you, and you don't seem to have any desire for ideal love...

You can't expect to spend your whole life with your daughter, can you?

Siana had a slight headache, then turned around to dodge Mei's slash. She used her Flame King Sword to knock away the Seven Thunders of Purification from Mei's hand, then kicked Mei in the stomach, sending her flying into the ceiling.

"cough..."

Seeing Raiden Mei coughing up blood, her expression miserable, trapped in the ceiling, Shiana pursed her lips, a fleeting look of heartache in her eyes.

There was no way around it; no matter how bad Mei was, she had been a mother to two different men, so it was still hard for her to accept being beaten like that.

But she couldn't just not fight; she had to make Mei accept reality.

It's okay to feel a little pain now, but if it fails at a crucial moment in the future, then it won't just be a short-term pain.

"Miss Mei, I hope you'll have improved by the time we meet again..."

Xiana shook her head gently, then looked up at her one last time, saying meaningfully.

"It's time to wake up from this dream and say goodbye..."

After saying that, Shiana gripped the Flame King Sword and headed towards another location where a high-energy Honkai reaction was occurring.

Meanwhile, Kiana and Alicia successfully broke through the ice wall created by Kiana and came to her aid.

"Mei Yi, are you okay?"

After removing Raiden Mei from inside the Skyfire Plate, Alicia and Kiana asked her with complicated expressions.

The reason she got stuck in the ceiling was partly due to friction, and partly due to the extremely low ambient temperature, plus the sweat on Mei's body sticking her directly to the ceiling.

"I...it's okay..."

From the outside, Mei looks miserable, covered in wounds and bruises, but they are all external injuries and do not affect her movement. Even if Alicia doesn't help, she can recover quickly with her own healing ability.

"Aliceia..."

Raiden Mei looked at the pink fairy with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong, my dear Mei?"

Alicia looked at Raiden Mei with a strange expression.

"I've always trusted you so much..."

Judging from Shiana's attitude and expression, Raiden Mei is inclined to believe that she is probably not lying, and the fact that she knows too much further confirms Raiden Mei's thoughts.

She always felt that Siana was reminding her of something.

Although Alicia had kept it from her all along, Mei still believed her.

But Shiana tells her that Alicia's hidden secret involves Kiana and Kiana's lives...

Now, even if Raiden Mei has complete faith, she'll start to have doubts...

"Why did you lie to us? You said you'd let Kiana gather all the Herrscher powers..."

Raiden Mei isn't stupid; on the contrary, she's quite clever. She can deduce details from subtle clues.

Alicia once said that as long as Kiana gathered all the powers except for the End, they would be able to see Kiana again...

But what will they witness after they have gathered all the powers?

The answer is already obvious.

Even if Alicia didn't say it, Mei already guessed it.

"Feel sorry..."

Faced with Raiden Mei's accusations, the pink fairy's smile dimmed somewhat.

"But this matter might be more complicated than you think, I..."

Alicia pursed her lips, looked at Kiana who had the same puzzled expression, and sighed softly.

"Xiaoqi is actually the chosen Herrscher of the End..."

"If there's no other way, we can only..."

"...Kill her."

Upon hearing Alicia's words, Kiana and Raiden Mei both froze.

"Alicia, did you already know? Why didn't you tell us?!"

Kiana spoke with emotion, recalling Alicia's sudden departure and her recent disappearance.

"I'm sorry, I also had my reasons..."

Alicia shook her head slightly.

During this time, she also learned more about things.

There are just too many things involved.

"Killed...Xiaoqi?"

Alicia explained the whole story to them, then shook her head somewhat helplessly.

"We'd love to find other solutions, but we have no other choice but Kiana..."

"Use Kiana to become the End to replace Xiaoqi's deception of the End's power?"

Raiden Mei still didn't understand the meaning of Shiana's words about exchanging one life for another.

"It's not that simple. I'm sorry, Mei, this might be a little cruel to you..."

"If Kiana inherits the powers of all the Herrschers, then she will take over from Kiana and accept the power of Yomi integrating herself and all the Herrschers' ascension..."

"For the true end, taking this attack might not be difficult, but Kiana..."

Although Alicia hadn't finished speaking, the answer was already obvious.

Kiana only took over the powers of all thirteen Herrschers, but did not truly take over the power of the End.

"Is there any way to stop the Yellow Springs...?"

Raiden Mei gently bit her lip and suggested another solution.

"There is a possibility."

Unexpectedly, Alicia nodded slightly, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes as she looked at Mei.

"What is it?"

Mei had a bad feeling.

"After you took over the power of the Herrscher of Origin..."

"Kill Xiao Huangquan, then erase her consciousness..."

"Perhaps without the mechanism led by Huang Quan, the power she collected would gradually collapse."

Are you willing to take that chance?

Chapter 131: Kiana: Mei, cheer up, okay?

While Raiden Mei and Kiana were in a daze, Shiana had already returned to the Herrscher of Ice's side.

Xiana wasn't simply following Xiaoqi's train of thought; a major purpose of her existence was to find a way to break the deadlock.

Killing her, as Xiaoqi suggested, was actually just a backup plan.

However, Shiana is actually quite looking forward to Raiden Mei's choice.

Her intuition told her that Raiden Mei would be the key to the final victory.

As the daughter of Kiana and Alicia, no one can rival her intuition.

Shiana had considered the method that Alicia provided for Raiden Mei, and even Xiaoqi had thought about it back then.

Well, theoretically it is indeed feasible, but if we actually did that, Huang Quan's part of his consciousness might be completely lost.

The portion of the Yellow Springs consciousness left in the Origin Land was key to her gathering power, and it is also one of the core consciousnesses of the Yellow Springs.

Even if Xiaoqi is killed, Xiana is confident that she can find a way to preserve the part of her consciousness that is controlled by the power of the End.

However, the difference is actually not that significant.

Unlike Hei Luo and Bai Luo, whose memories were completely preserved, Huang Quan and Xiao Qi only retained a portion of their memories.

The probability of Shiana saving Huang Quan is about 40%, while Xiao Qi's is only about 30%...

No matter what Mei and the others choose, the probability will not actually change.

So, Shiana is actually the one who sees things most clearly right now.

While the choice makes no difference to Shiana, it makes a huge difference to Raiden Mei.

Even if sacrificing Huang Quan truly saved Kiana and Xiao Qi...

Hmm, Shiana thought, given Mei's personality, this would probably be more painful than killing her.

It wasn't that Shiana thought Mei cared much about Alicia's feelings; she just always felt that Alicia didn't occupy even 20% of Mei's heart...

Actually, it makes sense when you think about it carefully.

In the story, Mei enters the Paradise to explore its secrets, and her emotional resonance with Alicia is also inseparable from the "assistance" of the Herrscher of Corruption.

Mei went to Paradise to keep up with Yomi's footsteps, but she was tortured and tricked by Alicia in Paradise.
