The Dimensional Book of Collapse

Chapter 41: Kiana's Past

Want to kill him?

Qin Mo did not touch the two discs himself, but released his new substitute to take them.

Even if you equip a character card with a substitute, it will not prevent you from using your substitute.

Looking at Puchi who fell unconscious like a vegetable, Qin Mo decided to consider his treatment later and turned to look at the substitute DISC belonging to the White Snake in his hand.

Can you insert it directly into your brain and use it?

Qin Mo looked at the DISC and was in a dilemma. A person can hold multiple substitutes at the same time, but multiple substitutes will cause a great burden to the holder. If he can't bear it, the DISC will be ejected.

The White Snake is a very scary substitute for Qin Mo. He is not afraid of physical attacks or even death, but he is completely unable to resist mental abilities. Even with the immortality of the dog talisman, he can still be sealed and controlled.

If you are even controlled to take out the dog talisman, you will be doomed.

So Qin Mo chose the most despicable and insidious way to attack Puchi.

Let’s try it out…

Qin Mo made the decision after just a few seconds of hesitation. The White Snake's ability was very useful. As a spiritual substitute, he could make up for Qin Mo's current shortcomings.

Equip me with White Snake's DISC...

Qin Mo gave orders to his stand-in, but unexpectedly.

This stand, whose attributes are not high and whose abilities are unknown so far, did not obey Qin Mo's orders, but raised his left arm.

Qin Mo saw something similar to a CD-ROM drive pop out from its left arm.

Qin Mo put the DISC belonging to the White Snake in his hand into it, and watched the DISC belonging to the White Snake disappear into the body of this nameless substitute.

"White Snake!!!!!"

A mechanical sound came from its body, and Qin Mo discovered that a head of the White Snake appeared on the left arm of this substitute.

"????"

Wait a minute!? Could it be!?

Qin Mo instantly thought of the possible abilities of his stand-in, but he still needed to test it out, and right now, the most suitable place to test it out was...

Ossuary

This is where Pucci and Dio met, and this is also the beginning of Pucci's dream.

The place where Puchi hid the DISC was in a corner under the bone storage hall, and Qin Mo got it easily.

Looking at the stack of familiar and useless stand-ins in his hand, Qin Mo raised his eyebrows: "I knew there wouldn't be any powerful stand-ins here."

If there is a strong one, I will definitely give it to Dio to fight against them.

Let his stand-in pick up these DISCs. Qin Mo began to test his stand-in for the first time in this underground. The target of the test was these DISCs in his hand and the vegetative Pucci on the ground...

3 hours later…

"You can gain the special abilities of the Stand by inserting the DISC, but you cannot gain the panel attributes of the Stand. However, you can improve the panel attributes by completely digesting the DISC, but you cannot gain abilities."

This is the conclusion Qin Mo came to after the DISC experiment, and each of the above two methods is irreversible.

Qin Mo did not absorb the abilities on those DISCs, but simply transformed them into pure power to enhance the attributes of his stand. Because there were not many DISCs available, he did not know the upper limit of the abilities that his stand could be equipped with.

However, he discovered that after his stand absorbed the DISC, it did not completely replicate the original ability, but converted it into a similar ability.

The White Snake's ability was originally the ability to dissolve the mind. Not only could it create DISC, it could also create hallucinations and cause a person's mind to collapse.

But Qin Mo only has the ability to extract DISC and create blank DISC.

Because there were no other samples, Qin Mo couldn't obtain more data, but he already had a better plan.

"If that's the case, then its growth potential is so exaggerated that it's unimaginable. If it devours the world and transcends heaven, will it also be able to gain the ability to rewrite reality?"

Qin Mo didn't know, but he was looking forward to it. Others needed to go through great pains to sublimate their abilities, but he could obtain them step by step, just like a ladder leading to heaven.

"Then your name! Will be! Stairway to Heaven!!"

In the end, Qin Mo did not kill Puchi, not because of the Virgin Mary, but because there was no need. After all, he was not a murderer.

Let Stairway to Heaven create a blank false memory and implant it into Pucci's brain.

This false memory was not long. It just made him a good man, respect his parents, and be a good priest. That was all.

Qin Mo returned to the hotel alone. It was already evening, but he was too excited to sleep.

After all, a Stand with this kind of ability is really exciting. He even considered creating a large number of Stand users to extract their DISCs to strengthen his Stairway to Heaven.

But he soon calmed down. Although he pursued power, he was not the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goal.

Otherwise, what is the difference between him and people like Dio?

dong dong...

While Qin Mo was reflecting on himself, there was a knock on the hotel door.

"Qin Mo, are you asleep?"

It was Mei's voice.

"Mei?"

I used a stand-in to secretly take a look outside through the peephole, and it was indeed Mei, but it was so late?

"What's up?"

In the end, Qin Mo opened the door. After all, Mei came so late, there must be something wrong.

"That... is about Kiana... She's already asleep, but about the time in Egypt..."

Mei pursed her lips, placed her hands on her chest and clenched them tightly, feeling very uneasy inside.

"Come in first."

Qin Mo's room was a single room. After looking around, he couldn't find any chair, so he could only let Meiyi sit on his bed.

"Although I don't know what you are thinking, but since you asked, I won't hide it. However, Kiana can't know about this yet. Mei, can you keep this secret?"

"Can't Kiana know?"

Mei nodded. After all, the reason she came here alone avoiding Kiana was because Kiana seemed to have no memory at all, and she didn't want to make Kiana worry.

"This matter starts from the second collapse. Oh, yes, the one in Changkong City is the third one. The Herrscher born from the second collapse is the Herrscher of the Void, Xilin."

Qin Mo told a story that many people in the world who knew about the collapse knew, and he also revealed many unknown secrets of this story.

Although he could deceive Mei Raiden with lies or treat her perfunctorily, Qin Mo chose the most direct, stupid, but also the most sincere way, revealing this unknown history without any concealment.

Chapter 42 Qin Mo's Past

Qin Mo talked about Xilin's life experience, how she became an experimental subject, became a Herrscher, caused the Honkai Impact, met Cecilia, and her dying wish.

Xilin's life story is a tragedy, and tragedy can always resonate with others. The involvement of Cecilia makes this tragedy sublime. The ending of a tragedy is not necessarily a tragedy. This saint who has always treated others with kindness finally influenced the Second Herrscher and left hope for the world.

"So... Xilin and Cecilia are both dead..."

After hearing the story, Mei burst into tears. Qin Mo wanted to pull some tissues but found that the hotel didn't have such things. He could only take out a handkerchief to wipe her face.

"They are all dead. They died in the Honkai fission bomb launched by Otto. At the same time, she also saved nearly 100,000 people from the erosion of Honkai energy by using the God's Key Black Abyss White Flower and her own holy blood."

"So Cecilia is Kiana's mother? Mr. Siegfried is the father Kiana has been talking about, right?"

Qin Mo shook his head: "Qiana can be said to be, but also can be said not to be. Death is not the end, but a new beginning."

"Hershers are special because of the existence of the Herrscher core. Even if they die, fragments of their consciousness may remain in their core. And Otto, for his plan, needs the power of the Herrscher of the Void."

"So in order to revive the Herrscher of the Void, or to gain the power of the Herrscher of the Void, Otto recovered Sirin's Herrscher core and created a clone, trying to place the Herrscher core into the clone's body to create a Herrscher of the Void."

"An ordinary clone would definitely not be able to withstand the power of the Herrscher core, so Otto chose a special person, a person with the blood of the two major families of Destiny, and even the holy blood of Cecilia. That is, Kiana Kaslana!"

Mei blinked, obviously she thought the Kiana Qin Mo was talking about was the Kiana she met.

Qin Mo did not explain and continued, "But how can the Herrscher Core be controlled so easily? Controlling Honkai relies not only on blood, but also on the power of the mind. Almost every clone without a mind has died."

"Only the 423rd test subject survived. That is, K423, a container that contained the core of the Herrscher of the Void."

"And K423's success is not replicable, because this is not a consciousness derived from the body itself, but from the soul of Silin, the Herrscher core. Before she died, Silin made a wish to truly become Cecilia's daughter, and Otto's experiment made this wish come true. So two consciousnesses were born in K423's body, one is the Herrscher personality that inherited all of Silin's past memories, and the other is a completely blank personality that has expectations for a better future."

When Qin Mo said this, Mei's expression began to change. She began to realize that what Qin Mo had been talking about was all about Kiana, because she had already felt the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

"After Siegfried and Kiana Kaslana learned about Otto's experiment, and because Cecilia died because of Otto's betrayal, several people were dissatisfied with him. So the two of them contacted Theresa, Otto's granddaughter, and together they invaded the laboratory, hijacked K423, and escaped from the destiny."

"While escaping, although Theresa attracted firepower to delay them, the aircraft of the three people were still hit. Among them, Kiana Kaslana was hit in the head and fell."

At this point Mei exclaimed: "Then..."

She didn't know what to call her, but she still called her Kiana: "Is that Kiana dead?"

Qin Mo shook his head: "She is still alive, but that is another story, and Siegfried thought she was dead."

"Siegfried has been depressed because of the guilt for his deceased wife and the remorse for killing his daughter. K423 also lost her memory in that incident and only thought that Siegfried was her father. You can listen to Kiana's explanation of the details later. In short, K423 finally made Siegfried recognize her. But that idiot, knowing that K423 and his daughter were different people, did not treat her as a substitute for his daughter, but still gave K423 the name Kiana Kaslana, which is now Kiana."

"Kiana has Sirin's Herrscher personality in her body, and Siegfried was the one who left Sirin with a huge psychological trauma during the Second Honkai Impact. So when she was with Siegfried, her Herrscher personality was very restless, until one day it completely exploded."

"Siegfried sacrificed an arm to fight off the Herrscher personality, and he also realized that as long as he was by Kiana's side, Kiana would be in an unstable state, and the newly born personality was naturally no match for the Herrscher personality full of negative emotions, so he said goodbye to Kiana and let Kiana live alone, while he followed behind Kiana and protected her from a distance."

……

……

……

"So Mr. Siegfried, whom Kiana has been looking for, is in Changkong City!?"

Mei realized this in an instant, and she fell into speechless state when she looked at Qin Mo in front of her and nodded. She didn't know how to evaluate Siegfried's behavior. You said he loved Kiana, but he left Kiana alone without saying anything and let Kiana go on a journey to find her father which would definitely not lead to any result.

You say he doesn't love her, but he gave his arm for Kiana and followed her on her wanderings for several years.

However, after knowing Kiana's life experience, Mei felt more at ease about Kiana's situation. She originally thought that Qin Mo only knew half of it, but she didn't expect that Qin Mo actually knew so much. Moreover, Qin Mo was not in a hurry about it at all. He looked confident and it seemed that he had a plan a long time ago.

It's just that the time is not right yet.

On the contrary...

"Qin Mo, I actually wanted to ask you before... You seem to know a lot of things. Are you really from the future?"

This was the doubt that had been lingering in Mei's mind for a long time, and now, taking Kiana's matter as an excuse, she finally asked it out.

Qin Mo's breathing stopped when he saw Mei's eyes.

How to answer?

This is a fatal question!

Deception? Or confession?

Lies will always be lies, and one lie needs to be covered up with more lies.

After taking a deep breath, Qin Mo finally made a decision.

"To people today, I should be considered to have returned from the future."

"In the original future, I was not a participant in all these things. I could only be regarded as a powerless bystander."

"I don't know why I'm here, but now that fate has given me this opportunity, I want to change everything."

Instead of a direct showdown, an ambiguous approach was chosen.

However, Meiyi did not ask any more questions, but instead asked: "Then in the future that Qin Mo knows... is it a tragedy?"

Is it a tragedy? I don’t know!

When Qin Mo traveled through time, Honkai Impact 3rd had not yet had an ending, and he was not a Honkai Impact 3rd scholar, so he did not study the plot of Honkai Impact 3rd in detail. However, he had heard that the ending of Honkai Impact 2nd was to restart the world, and many people speculated that Honkai Impact 3rd should have a similar ending.

Plus the hair knife...

"I don't know much."

The plot was skipped and the ending is not yet revealed.

"Although we encountered many sad things along the way and said goodbye to many people."

Mihoyo is sending out knives like crazy.

"But everyone has always held on to their belief and wanted to turn this imperfect story into what we hoped it would be."

“And that’s what I’m here for.”
