The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"Well, but I think experiencing it firsthand is more appealing than simply explaining it."

Kiana smiled slightly, then raised the Flame King Sword and aimed it at the onrushing Honkai Beast.

After being separated for a long time, the two were finally able to fight side by side in this world as chess pieces.

"The moment of decisive battle has arrived!"

Kiana took the lead, charging with her sword towards the nearest quantum crab.

Beside her, a quantum knight on horseback was poised to ambush the woman who had risked her life.

However, he soon regretted it.

"Your opponent is me."

Mei charged forward with her sword, unleashing a fierce attack with sword techniques imbued with the power of thunder.

For a moment, the small battlefield was filled with both lightning and fire.

The occasional flashes of light made Gretchen instinctively cover her small eyes.

In the short time she closed her eyes, the battle was decided.

The result was predictable; Kiana and Mei ended the battle with an overwhelming advantage.

Kiana slowly walked up to Gretsch and handed her the paint, then turned around and asked with a smile, "How is it, Mei? Are you getting used to this kind of battle?"

"I'm not used to it."

Mei clenched her fist and then relaxed it, replying with a cold expression:

"I feel like my power is being restricted in many ways."

"Did you feel it too? Actually, I did too."

Kiana said, then spread her hands to indicate:

"Clearly, this must be the work of the world's master, or perhaps there is some mysterious force restricting us in another corner of this world."

"Hmm... what is it?" Mei stroked her chin, lost in thought.

"Oh, no matter what it is, as long as I'm with Mei, I can easily overcome any difficulty!"

As she spoke, Kiana hooked her arm around Mei's neck and pressed her face against hers, as passionately as ever...

Chapter 3 Kiana, you were just scouting, why did you bring back a dragon!

At the far end of the world, there is a small town.

The town was shrouded in darkness, and many suspicious people roamed among the shadows.

There is a palace in this town.

Inside the palace, a colossal figure holding a staff stood silently in the center of the hall.

Its body is predominantly green, and its half-human, half-snake form looks quite peculiar.

It appears to be a giant that is half human and half snake, but in reality, the person in the very center is the true form.

For her, the so-called body was perhaps just an outer layer.

If Kiana or Mei were to arrive here, they would definitely call out her name in unison.

Möbius...

Hehe~

Amidst Mebius's meaningful chuckle, a pink-haired figure slowly entered the hall.

"Hi, did you miss me?"

Mebius gripped his scepter tightly and replied with a smile, "What a rare guest. Since you recognize me, it means that you and I have both been drawn into this world. Am I right, Alicia?"

"Hmm~ We really are destined to meet."

Alicia was completely oblivious to the fact that she was in a strange and unusual world, and simply dealt with Mebius with ease.

She felt that she had entered a world that was full of mystery.

But as long as I can still see the heroes, it doesn't matter.

However, there are some things I need to confirm, um...

After a moment's hesitation, Alicia asked with a smile, "Is Kevin here too?"

"Oh."

Mebius responded simply.

Instantly, the room fell silent...

The two looked at each other without saying much.

After a moment, Möbius said leisurely:

"What do you want to say to me this time?"

"Nothing special, I just needed to remind you that we have guests."

After speaking, Alicia turned around and made a move to leave.

Seeing that she seemed to be leaving, Möbius immediately asked warily, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go meet our guests!"

After saying that, Alicia gracefully left.

Mebius was left alone in the silent hall, remaining silent for a long time...

---

In the original forest.

Kiana and Mei were being affectionate.

只可

However, when Kiana pressed her pretty face against hers, Mei reached out her hand to resist, saying:

"Kiana, please be serious during this critical time."

"Huh!" Kiana was stunned.

At this moment, the background music "The sky is azure blue~ There are origami cranes outside the window~" should play.

For a fleeting moment, Kiana thought Mei had been tricked by a bad woman.

But considering that she had already seen Mei in the future, it's safe to say... there shouldn't be any major problems?

"Ok."

Kiana released her grip and shook her head helplessly: "These are indeed extraordinary times. We should remain serious before leaving this place."

Mei nodded: "Yes, that's right... By the way, Kiana, have you discovered anything?"

Discover?

If I had to say something, I found this place to be very suspicious.

And the young painter, Gretchen, is truly remarkable.

After all, it's a miracle that a real person was drawn on a canvas and then turned out to be a real person.

If Kiana had to find a myth that could rival it, the only one she could think of was Ma Liang's magic paintbrush, which her class monitor had once told her about.

Besides these, if I had to name any other discoveries...

Kiana pondered for a moment: "I've discovered that these monsters don't seem to have anything to do with the Honkai."

"Hmm? You felt it too?"

Mei looked at Kiana in front of her.

Raven occasionally talks about her.

Transforming into a Herrscher is one of them.

Unexpectedly, she ultimately could not escape the control of fate.

But Mei also felt that, given her predetermined fate, she ultimately chose her own path.

"When I was fighting them, I discovered that although these monsters looked no different from Honkai Beasts, they did not have any Honkai energy reaction."

Kiana nodded, stroking her chin, and said, "Yes, it's quite a strange thing."

There was no Honkai energy reaction on the Honkai Beasts...

This is as peculiar as the fact that you can't smell fishy odor on a fish.

However, their combat strength is no different from that of ordinary Honkai Beasts.

The most important question right now is, what exactly are they?

An unknown creation that closely resembles a Honkai Beast?

Kiana and Mei exchanged a glance, both feeling that things were not as simple as they had imagined.

And at present, the consensus they can reach is this.

Leave this place as soon as possible.

Kiana turned around and said to the young painter who was still busy painting, "Gresh, let's go."

"Hmm...are we... leaving now?"

Gretchen looked at the unfinished painting in front of her and murmured to herself, seemingly unwilling to give up.

Following her reluctant gaze, Kiana saw that a more familiar figure had been added to the original painting.

It was a petite little girl floating in mid-air.

Based on her almost iconic twin-tailed curly hair, Kiana was certain that Gretsch was drawing Bronya this time.

It's really strange that she was able to draw Bronya even though she had never met her.

Why is this?
