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

"Hahaha!!"

Roaring furiously, Qianjie leaped into the air, his anger filling the sky, and then plummeted from the heavens like a meteor.

An indescribable aura, carrying the finality of annihilation, emanated from Huang Quan.

"Underworld·Burial..."

The scorching area around Huang Quan was covered by coldness and nothingness, and even Alicia behind her felt a chill.

"Calamity and Shackles".

This was a powerful attack unleashed by Huang Quan within the domain after fusing with the core of the Herrscher of Death and combining it with the power within his body.

A dark red light spread from the scabbard, and then, in the next moment, a thunderous slash, as if shaking the very soul, was unleashed.

Realizing the terrifying power of this strike, Qianjie wanted to dodge, but it was too late. He could only use all his strength to stomp down.

As Huang Quan sheathed his sword, a figure landed heavily on the ground.

After a long while, Qian Jie, who had smashed the floor and caused cracks dozens of meters around him, coughed up blood and laughed loudly as he looked up at the sky.

"All things have been burned, and I too will be destroyed without a trace..."

"Life and death, existence and annihilation, only to be extinguished, eternally burning..."

"Hahahahaha!"

From Qianjie's laughter, Huangquan heard desolation and sorrow.

"Alicia! You're so despicable!!"

Qianjie took a deep breath and barely managed to stand up.

The blow Huang Quan just delivered has prevented him from even initiating a deliberate collapse.

If he hadn't been strong enough, and the endless flames hadn't burned away most of the power, that one strike might have reshaped his memory.

This isn't him testing the Yellow Springs; it's the Yellow Springs testing him!

Alicia deliberately seduced and schemed against him.

If he has this kind of strength, why is he being tested? Is he here to roast him?

"No way, Qianjie, didn't I already tell you..."

Alicia stuck out her tongue.

To be honest, Huang Quan's slash just now really scared Alicia.

I originally thought that even if Huang Quan could defeat Qian Jie, it would take at least three strikes to deal a blow to him.

Now it's all good, one hit and it's done.

Alicia has begun to mourn for Qianjie, hoping he can get out of the shadows soon...

"Take it, Herrscher, the mark of [Annihilation]..."

Then Qianjie covered his mask and collapsed again.

For the first time, Qianjie realized that everyone in this world was full of deceit...

Looking at the withdrawn Qian Jie, Huang Quan glanced at the innocent-looking pink-haired girl.

Although I don't know what happened, I'll just go along with Alicia's wishes.

"Feel sorry..."

After receiving the mark of a thousand tribulations, Huang Quan apologized and continued onward with Alicia.

"Wait, Herrscher... I hope you can find your own meaning..."

Although Huang Quan's knife severely injured Qian Jie's body, it had the most profound impact on his mind.

Before he left for the underworld, he offered this advice.

As a warrior of unwavering will, he had almost completely lost his will to fight just now, enveloped in the domain and aura of the Underworld...

It's hard to imagine just how terrifying the source of this power, the Yellow Springs, truly is.

Qianjie didn't find this particularly powerful; on the contrary, it was a symbol of her giving up her sense of self.

"I've found someone who means something to me..."

Huang Quan was somewhat confused.

"No, that's her meaning, not yours..."

"Move forward, Herrscher."

After saying that, Qianjie lay down on the ground and did not speak again. Only the slight rise and fall of his chest indicated that he was still alive.

"Thank you."

Huang Quan nodded, taking Qian Jie's words to heart.

Has she found her own meaning...?

......

In the public restroom on the other side

"Su, are you done?"

"not yet..."

"Me too."

......

"Oh dear, Miss Huang Quan, do you think our trial is almost over?"

So far, Huang Quan has obtained five imprints, so Alicia led her to a space with purple crystal pillars.

Alicia originally planned to let Huang Quan experience all the trials of heroes before confronting her.

In Paradise, the reinforcement of the imprint is based on the data entered by the visitor.

Huang Quan's improvement in strength far exceeded Alicia's expectations.

Therefore, her first part of the revelation will have to begin ahead of schedule.

If Huang Quan gets the remaining seals, then Alicia will be completely helpless. If she were to be easily pinned down by her daughter, she would feel a little shy.

Alicia and the heroes hid two things from Huang Quan. Although both things involved their identities and were related to Huang Quan, Alicia thought it best to leave a little suspense before Huang Quan left.

As Huang Quan watched Alicia walk forward, stand in the center of the arena, and gracefully turn around, he knew what she was thinking.

"Huang Quan... let's play a game..."

Alicia gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her tone becoming much softer. She no longer called her "Miss Huangquan," and her eyes became very gentle.

"it is good."

It's obvious that Alicia is the trial officer for this area.

Huang Quan was not surprised, because judging from the previous reactions of the heroes, Ai Lixia's identity as a hero had already been exposed.

Whether it's Gretchen, Mebius, or Qianjie, they all basically have no temper in front of Alicia. It's clear that Alicia has always been able to take the lead in front of them.

However, the gentleness with which Alicia called her name touched Huang Quan slightly, as if something deep within her heart had been stirred.

"uh-huh."

Seeing her appearance, Alicia was very happy. A pinkish-purple crystal slowly appeared in her hand. Then she held it horizontally in front of her, gently drew her bow, and shot the energy arrow into the air after it was fully condensed.

Then, like flowers blooming, a crystal barrier formed, enveloping the two of them.

Then the pink-haired girl shot another arrow at the barrier. The arrow bounced around the barrier at great speed, but for Huang Quan and Alicia, dodging this single arrow was still quite easy.

"The rules of the game are very simple. Every ten seconds, I will shoot an arrow. The arrow will not lose energy as it bounces, but will instead accelerate and increase. Whoever is hit by the arrow first loses."

Alicia winked at her playfully.

For Alicia, agility is her greatest strength; even Sakura's reaction speed can't match hers.

Huang Quan nodded slightly.

The two women gazed at each other until the arrow was about to reach them, at which point they would slightly turn to the side, narrowly missing it.

Compared to Huang Quan's unchanging expression, Alicia's expression changed from a happy smile to pouting, hands on hips, and other small expressions of satisfaction.

Huang Quan could tell that the pink-haired girl really liked him, because every time she looked at her, her eyes would sparkle.

For the first five minutes, the two were able to remain mostly still, but by the seventh or eighth minute, the arrows around them had become dense, forcing them to constantly switch positions and leap lightly in the air to find cover.

Ten minutes later, when Alicia drew her bow again, several arrows shot from her blind spot, almost completely blocking her room to react.

However, the next moment, a fair hand gently pushed her away from the dangerous position.

After turning over a few times, the pink-haired girl looked at Huang Quan with a helpless expression.

Although it was because she was drawing her bow that caused the loss, doesn't that mean she's already halfway to defeat?

Later on, even with Alicia's reaction speed, things became difficult, and she didn't even have a chance to draw her bow.

Each arrow flashed by like lightning, and any slightest unnecessary movement would be hit.

The energy and speed of the arrows had reached an exaggerated level, and the two were almost simply relying on their physical strength to last longer.

However, it is obvious that Huang Quan, who possesses the power of the Herrscher of Death, is much stronger than the pink fairy in terms of endurance. While Alicia was already panting and sweating, Huang Quan's aura remained almost unchanged.

Two minutes later, Alicia's steps on the crystal flowers in the air faltered, and her body began to fall uncontrollably.

In an instant, more than a dozen arrows were about to be shot at the spot where she fell.

"Oops..."

Alicia never expected that she would make a mistake because she didn't maintain her balance.

Although these arrows were condensed and amplified with a lot of energy, for Alicia and Huang Quan, hitting them would at most cause minor cuts and pain for a while.

Alicia closed her eyes, bracing herself for the barrage of arrows as she fell from the sky.

But the next moment, a warm embrace enveloped her; the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope never goes out of style.

Meanwhile, in the "hero's" arms, Alicia pouted in dissatisfaction.

Hiding alone was already troublesome, but now that he was holding her, Huang Quan fell almost straight down, and all the arrows in his path pierced her body.
