Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Although the nightmare incident was resolved, the cost was the destruction of an entire nightmare world!

Even now, Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao is still filled with lingering fear and unease about this. The girl cautiously approached Jiuxiao and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Jiuxiao?"

"Huh? What's wrong..."

"That was the Nightmare of Apocalypse, right?"

"Um…"

Jiuxiao nodded, then suddenly remembered that Tianqi had told her about her first meeting with Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

Seeing Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's cautious demeanor, Jiuxiao immediately understood what was going on, and then patted Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's little head.

"Don't overthink it. I'll talk to you after things are resolved."

"Yes, I understand. The world's problems are more important right now, so I'll have to contribute..."

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens was just about to unleash its hidden power and undergo a magnificent transformation.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, remember to call her 'sister-in-law' next time you see her!"

Jiuxiao winked at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, then turned and rushed towards the End Kiana.

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens, who was preparing to transform, froze, and stammered:

"Wait a minute! Did I hear that right? Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law!! Huh?!"

Bang! Boom!

The massive explosion interrupted the shock of Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens, who quickly regrouped and rejoined the battle.

Not only was Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens drawn to the scene, but Mei, standing in the distance, was also captivated. Seeing that Apocalypse Nine Heavens could overpower Kiana, a flame of hope was instantly rekindled within Mei, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy.

But upon seeing what happened next, Mei instantly flew into a rage, raised the Thunder Soul Greatsword, and charged into the battlefield.

"You bastard, how dare you hit my Kiana! I wouldn't even dare to hit myself!!"

With the power granted by the sea combined with the power of the Apocalypse, Kiana is no match for the current Nine Heavens in terms of sheer strength.

Like a berserker, Jiuxiao stubbornly withstood Kiana's attacks, forcefully grabbing the neck of the final Kiana with one hand and pinning her down.

Even though Kiana was cutting off, tearing, and obliterating his arm every second, it would always be completely restored in an instant, and he would grab Kiana's neck tightly.

His eyes shot out a burning gaze that could melt anything, scorching Kiana as he relentlessly punched her, causing the Tower of Doom to tremble.

Kiana has already ascended to godhood; the Honkai is Kiana, and Kiana is the Honkai. (The divine Kiana couldn't control her power, which is why she went berserk, lost her way, and destroyed everything.)

Just as Kiana could shatter Jiuxiao's body, Jiuxiao could also shatter Kiana's body at this moment.

Either Jiuxiao turned into blood mist, or Kiana turned into blood mist, but in an instant, the two of them reappeared in front of everyone as if they had never been injured.

Bang - Bang -

The two's frenzied fighting style shocked everyone. At this moment, it seemed that only the huge roar of Jiuxiao's fist colliding with Kiana could be heard at the top of the tower.

"Kiana, I'm sorry, I can't change the past... but I will change the ending that you've all decided on!"

If you're afraid of the power within you, sealing your heart away, crying alone in despair… then now, I'll tell you that power isn't scary! Because I've come, we've come to take you home… let's work together to change this world into the way you want it to be!

"........."

Knowing that continuing the fight was pointless, Kiana reached out and punched Jiuxiao.

Knowing that if he punched Jiuxiao too hard and pierced or shattered him, Jiuxiao would regenerate instantly, he controlled the punch to send Jiuxiao flying without harming him.

Just as Jiuxiao had dissipated Kiana's force and was about to charge forward again, Mei swung her greatsword down in a single strike.

clang--

"Oh dear~ Although Brother Jiuxiao has stolen all the limelight, I am still a savior, so don't underestimate me!"

Penglaiji Kusho blocked Mei's attack with his sword, and at the same time kicked her away, sending her flying to Kiana's side.

Mei flipped halfway in the air and landed next to Kiana, standing side by side with her.

"Ridiculous! You think you can play the savior in a world like this? Because in the real world, you're just a weak and incompetent mortal."

Just like the mournful cries you heard in the tower, the real you is merely a grain of sand within it… only able to wait in despair for salvation from others.

"Kiana! Mei! I know who I am, and I know what role I should play. Yes, that's right! In the real world, I'm just an ordinary person indulging in fantasies, dreaming of being a savior..."

But at this moment, what does it matter if I am but a tiny grain of sand? The hope I bear is a mountain composed of countless grains of sand. We will keep climbing until we touch that dawn.

That includes your wish... Kiana, the wish you cannot fulfill, let us fulfill it for you!

Penglaiji Jiuxiao removed his gloves, revealing the End Cross stigmata surrounded by the light of hope.

"Kiana...this is the Stigmata you gave me...and it's what you taught me: as long as you believe in your own heart...you are the savior!"

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens closed his eyes, raised the sacred mark in his hand, and called upon the spirits trapped in this world.

"You've all said... this is the world I created. Since this is my world, I'm going to change it with my own hands!"

Bronya, Seele, Amisa, Himeko… and all the souls whose names I don't know, yet who watch over this place! Lend me your power! And finally, you… Sirin!

The Honkai energy patterns instantly covered Houraiji Kusho's body, and all the energy of this world gathered on her.

When Penglai Temple Jiuxiao opened her eyes again, she had already transformed back into her former Herrscher of the Void puppet form.

However, it is no longer appropriate to call her "Herrscher Puppet" now, as she has gathered the hope of a world and mastered the power of the Herrscher of the Void. At this moment, she should be called "Savior - Houraiji Jiuxiao".

Chapter 324 The Final Bell

"I must admit that you are now powerful enough... and I am aware of your will..."

But... the pace of decay is unstoppable... using decay to defeat decay has always been a joke...

Mei… let us together sound the final dirge for the end of the world.

Kiana and Mei raised their hands together and touched them together.

The light traveled from their crossed hands to their entire bodies, and as the light spread over them, Kiana and Mei had changed into a new set of clothes.

Kiana wore a pure white princess dress, while Mei wore a dark purple formal gown.

There's no need to wear combat suits anymore, because there's no longer any need to fight. Kiana and Mei, as messengers of the Honkai, will now toll the death knell and usher in the glory of destruction.

Kiana: "In the name of the end, I will unleash divine punishment, and reduce this erroneous civilization to nothingness once more."

Mei: "To cast the light of death upon the earth, and toll the death knell for all things."

Kiana & Mei: "Let us together bring destruction to this tragic race of humanity, and extinguish the flames of all reincarnation and hope here."

Kiana and Mei, each wielding a golden greatsword and a purple greatsword respectively, charged towards the two in the sky in a crisscross pattern.

Mei leaped up and landed on Kiana's greatsword. Kiana used this to accelerate her sprint, then suddenly stopped and flung Mei toward Horaiji Kusou. At the same time, Kiana sprinted again and slashed at Kusou with her sword.

Houraiji Kyusho raised his hand towards Mei, and a portal instantly appeared in front of Mei. Mei, who had rushed into the portal, appeared under the slash of Houraiji Kyusho's greatsword while maintaining her sprinting motion.

Mei spun and swung her sword, causing the Thunder Soul Greatsword to collide with the ethereal weapon array of the Greatswords from Horaiji Kyusou.

boom--

Jiuxiao reached out and grabbed Kiana's Greatsword of the End, crushing it in one grasp. At the same time, Xingchen swiftly slashed horizontally at Kiana's waist.

The shattered Greatsword of the End instantly reformed, and Kiana cleaved the Nine Heavens in two with a single strike. However, at the same time, the Nine Heavens' Star Sword also slashed across Kiana's waist, separating her from her upper and lower body.

The next instant, the two were once again clashing swords together, both unharmed.

Amidst the flashing of swords and the roar of explosions.

The aftershocks of the battle spread throughout the entire imaginary space created by Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens. Occasionally, when Nine Heavens or Kiana got carried away and lost control of their power, they would accidentally break through the imaginary space. The aftershocks would pass through the gaps in the world and fall into the outer world, blasting countless stars into dust.

Bronya and Theresa waited at the top of the Tower of the End for the battle to end. They didn't know what had happened in the Imaginary Space, but the occasional tearing of space at the top of the tower, spewing out bursts of destructive light, filled them with fear and worry.

Jiu Xiao, like a mangy dog, relentlessly pursued and beat Kiana to death, while Kiana showed no mercy to Jiu Xiao, each move aimed to kill. Both of them transcended the definition of ordinary life, belonging to the kind of existence where death seemed impossible even if one wished.

Jiuxiao and Kiana fought without restraint, which put Jiuxiao and Mei in a difficult position. Although one was empowered by the power of the World and Sirin, and the other by the power transferred from the Herrscher of Thunder and Kiana, they were still, after all, normal living beings; if killed, they would die…

So, Houraiji Kyushou opened a gate, and Kyushou charged in, shielding Kiana, dividing the battlefield into two areas: Kiana against Kyushou, and Mei against Houraiji Kyushou.

The battle between Kiana and Jiuxiao is fruitless; they can only keep each other occupied.

But things are different for Hōraiji Kyushō and Mei.

Without Kiana, Mei's various abilities are severely limited, and even her powers are difficult to use.

Firstly, because she was merely an existence created by Kiana using Stigmata; secondly, because she was also a part of this... Faced with the world's master, Horaiji Kusho, Mei was utterly unable to fight him.

Whenever Mei uses her powers to manipulate Honkai energy, Horaiji Kusho issues orders to the Honkai, rejecting Mei's commands.

Taking advantage of his special connection to this world, Hōraiji Kyushō continuously extracted energy from Mei and transferred it to himself.

boom--

After an unknown amount of time, the weakened Mei was finally caught off guard by Horaiji Kyushou.

Time was of the essence. Houraiji Kyusou threw his greatsword, which flew towards Mei with a black light that tore through space. At the same time, Houraiji Kyusou instantly appeared behind Mei, and with two curved daggers, he slashed across Mei's back.

What if elementalization is unsolvable? Then just ban it.

As Penglaiji Jiuxiao slashed at Mei, he blocked the transmission of Honkai energy within Mei's body, causing her to pause and not have time to react.
