Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

When Jiu Xiao touched her body, Xing, who had been in a daze, immediately came to her senses and slapped Jiu Xiao's hand away.

"What do you want to do!"

"Check your condition... the Honkai energy corrosion is very serious..."

"Are you underestimating me? I'm already used to this little bit of pain!"

“This isn’t a matter of getting used to it or not. If this continues, you will be completely consumed by the Honkai, utterly assimilated into this world, and unable to return to the real world. We must get Iselin to sever your connection with this Stigmata Space as soon as possible.”

"Stop talking nonsense. Isn't my power indispensable in the final plan? If my power is missing, this world will definitely be doomed."

If the world ends, Seele and Bronya will definitely die... Reality still awaits us, and Bronya and Mom will be disappointed in me too...

So I'll hold on until the very last moment, don't worry, the Honkai can't break my will!

[The following section is not part of the main plot; it's more of an addition and a note from the author!]

(Time in the soul world is different from that in reality. One minute in reality may be tens of thousands or thousands of years in the soul world and the world of the Holy Mark.)

Therefore, the actual timeline of Na's existence is not just the real 42,000 years...

There's a very obvious difference in the flow rates between the two worlds in the game.

Here's a corny joke: In a very short period of time in reality... Kiana was killed at least 45 trillion times by the Will Dominator in the Stigmata Space, and her shattered flesh, under Kiana's indomitable will, split into at least 90 trillion Kianas...

Kiana was killed by the Will Dominator while simultaneously redeeming all the undead killed by the Honkai. In the end, she used the power of countless souls to defeat the Will Dominator.

Speaking of which, I have to mention this passage from the game that I saw when I first read it... it gave me the creeps.

"A delicate soul is like a golden dream."

"A brutal downpour of brains, blood, and flesh."

The girl was crying.

And then, recalling what I mentioned earlier about Kiana being killed by the Will Ruler 45 trillion times...

In Honkai Impact 3, Kiana is covered in bruises; in Honkai Impact 2, Kiana is covered in bruises.

Chapter 322 Apocalypse - Nine Heavens

With just a few hundred meters to go, the group was about to reach the top of the tower. Even though they couldn't see Kiana's figure yet, they could already feel the pressure emanating from her.

On this path through the Tower of the End, Himeko was the first to regretfully exit the stage. Her Honkai energy adaptability was insufficient, and she couldn't withstand such a high concentration of Honkai energy to reach Kiana of the End.

The same goes for Xing... She has already been severely corrupted and is now talking nonsense and is not in her right mind.

Iselin hesitated between severing the link between the Stigmata Space and Anzu, or leaving Anzu to save the world.

In the end, Seele and Kukulkan chose to stay and take care of Himeko and Anzu, while the others went to the final battlefield.

--------------

On the platform at the top of the tower, Kiana stood alone, calmly holding a spear, waiting for Jiuxiao and the others to arrive at the platform entrance.

Mei sat forlornly and listlessly on the edge of the Tower of the End, gazing at the Earth below in silence for a long time.

"Are you coming..."

Kiana raised her spear and aimed it at the crowd running from the entrance.

Jiuxiao, Penglaiji Jiuxiao, and others appeared one after another and confronted Kiana.

"The story begins with heroes gathering together to slay a dragon, but when they arrive before it, they discover... the dragon is the entire world, and they are merely ordinary mortals..."

Kiana waved to Jiuxiao, and the Spear of the End in Jiuxiao's hand exploded, turning into countless streams of light particles that returned to Kiana's hand, transforming into the Shield of the End, which glowed with an ethereal light.

With a holy shield in her left hand and a spear in her right, Kiana was like a true Valkyrie from legend, holy and majestic.

"It seems you stopped observing us when you built this tower..." Jiuxiao muttered softly, then looked at Kiana firmly.

"This tower not only shuts you out of your heart, but also deprives you of the opportunity to witness a turning point."

Those memories of light and shadow within the tower… Kiana, you saw them, didn't you! That was your true wish! To change this hopeless ending, and to be with the one who matters most!

"Ah…"

Kiana raised her spear and slashed at Jiuxiao. The sword energy, hundreds of meters long, tore through space and cut towards Jiuxiao and the others as the spear slid along its trajectory.

The space was cut open, and the resulting powerful vacuum field pulled everyone towards the sword energy.

Theresa invoked the Oath of Judah, extending chains to throw Bronya and Iselin out of the traction range, and attempted to block the sword's edge with Judah's true form.

However, the Oath of Judah, an ancient weapon created in antiquity, was easily crushed like tofu by Kiana with a casual strike.

A sense of powerlessness, just like during the Great Collapse, swept over Theresa. A moment of distraction caused Theresa to lose her chance to dodge the sword's edge.

When the sword aura was less than half a meter away from Theresa, Jiuxiao stood in front of Theresa and deflected Kiana's sword aura with a single sword strike.

The deflected sword light swept across the sky above the Tower of the End, shattering countless meteorites in the distance, which then fell into the depths of space.

"Stop spacing out! The atmosphere team should cheer you on from the sidelines!"

Then Jiuxiao grabbed Theresa by the back of her collar and threw her toward Bronya, who was some distance away.

This was never their battlefield, and their opponents were beings they could not contend with.

While Jiuxiao was in charge of rescuing people, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, who possessed the power of the world, had already rushed up with his greatsword and was slashing at Kiana.

Although the power of the world gave Hōraiji Kyushō the strength to fight Kiana, how could power gained out of thin air compare to the strength honed over time?

In the brief few seconds it took for Kiana to save the people in the Nine Heavens, all sorts of weapons, such as spears, greatswords, giant hammers, holy shields, and crosses, constantly changed in Kiana's hands. Her bizarre and wonderful combat skills caught the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple off guard and left them dizzy and disoriented.

"Their skill is good, but their technique still needs refinement..."

Kiana held her shield in her left hand to protect her chest, and knocked Houraiji Kyusou away. At the same time, her spear transformed into a giant hammer, which Kiana held in her hand as she leaped high into the air, ready to deliver the final blow to the fallen Houraiji Kyusou.

boom----

Jiuxiao grabbed the falling giant hammer with one hand and stood in front of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

"If your skills aren't up to par, that's why you need to make a living and learn gradually, isn't it?"

With a powerful clenched fist, Jiu Xiao crushed the End Hammer in Kiana's hand into fragments, scattering some of them. At the same time, Jiu Xiao swung his sword horizontally at Kiana, forcing her back.

Kiana casually flicked her spear, then raised it and pointed it at the heavens: "There is not a glimmer of hope in this withered world. Everything you are doing now is just repeating the tragedy of the past. There is no redemption in this world, nor does it need redemption."

"No way! If what you say is true, then there's no hope or possibility of salvation. So why are you here in the first place? And why did Janna send me here?!"

Jiuxiao helped Penglai Temple Jiuxiao up, and the two stood side by side.

"Of course, there is no hope in this world. If there were, you wouldn't be suffering and despairing like this! But just because there isn't hope in this world doesn't mean there isn't! Come on, Kiana, I'll show you what a true savior is!"

Tianqi's figure appeared behind Jiuxiao, his arms slightly open, embracing Jiuxiao from behind.

"Hehe... I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Although I'd rather you be a great demon king than a savior, I'll indulge you this time~"

Apocalypse affectionately rubbed Jiuxiao's cheek, then raised its arrogant chin and looked coldly at the End Kiana.

"You coward, Kiana, you can't even control your own power, you piece of trash."

"Alright, alright, let's win first and then taunt... It would be awkward if we lost later."

"If you can't even beat a half-dead guy with my power... then you're a piece of trash."

Tianqi pinched Jiuxiao's face with a look of disgust, and then merged with Jiuxiao.

"..."

Jiuxiao tossed his hair, and in an instant, his purple hair turned from purple to black, scattering on the ground.

At the same time, blood tears flowed from Jiuxiao's left eye, leaving a deep bloodstain on his cheek.

His right hand was covered by a strange, dark energy that spread across his entire forearm, transforming it into crimson lava that flowed with scorching molten lava.

The power of the soul is constantly expanding, and the powerful soul has a feedback effect on the body, constantly enhancing physical fitness.

Apocalypse's abilities are still unclear; this power belongs neither to Honkai nor to imaginary numbers, nor does it originate from the Quantum Sea. (Because this is the power of the author~)

But at this moment, Jiuxiao felt that he was omnipotent.

Chapter 323 Savior - Penglai Temple Nine Heavens

"You! You! You! That thing just now! That thing just now!!"

Standing beside Jiuxiao, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao was momentarily stunned, then so shocked she could barely speak. Penglai Temple Jiuxiao realized she had seen that woman before…

Because that was Nightmare Apocalypse, right? That being from the Nightmare World, right?

During the Destiny arc, I encountered a "nightmare" event along with Kiana and Theresa. A world called Nightmare collided with the main world, trapping many people in nightmares and leading them into the Nightmare World.

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao is still somewhat afraid of Tianqi, because she was startled by him during their first meeting in the Nightmare World. He talked about her own shadow and such, and later Tianqi even shouted that he wanted her to see what the "true savior" was like...

Then, right in front of him, Apocalypse waved his hand and destroyed the entire nightmare world.

At that moment, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple was completely dumbfounded...
