Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

Countless bubbles represent countless lives, and countless lives create countless stories.

But without exception, all those stories ended with them dying in the collapse.

Janna calmly watched the countless bubbles floating on the sea. When the sun rose the next day, all the bubbles on the sea surface were gently shone by the sunlight and disappeared. The sea no longer had the magical scene it had before and flowed calmly as always.

It's always been like this...right?

Chapter 208: I'm sorry, Kiana

The remaining days were actually quite uneventful. Everyone continued to live their lives as usual. Ordinary students went to ordinary schools, special students went to special schools, and special people had special jobs. Nothing changed.

Since that day, Cheng Xing has devoted himself to Kiana, basically doing whatever she wanted, which made Kiana feel a little embarrassed.

A week passed quickly in these peaceful days. On the morning of the 7th, Cheng Xing prepared breakfast as usual, but this time he left after preparing the meal.

On the rooftop of the teaching building, someone had been standing there for an unknown amount of time, as if they had been there for a very long time.

"How interesting. You actually want to meet me on the rooftop. Are you that particular about rituals?"

Cheng Xing arrived on the rooftop and looked at the back of the person in front of him, saying...

“That person is the most important person to you, right? So you know what that person will become. I'm giving you one last chance. Before noon, if you're willing... the previous promises still stand. Of course, if you still refuse... then the clock of finality will strike today.”

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens... no, it should be said that at this moment, the part of the Honkai God who has descended using this body coldly stares at Cheng Xing.

"No need. My answer remains the same as before, and I won't regret it."

"Absurd and ridiculous."

After leaving behind this comment, Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens disappeared without a trace, and no one knows how it left.

Cheng Xing didn't linger and turned to fly away.

Kiana stretched and came out of the bedroom. Seeing that her boyfriend had prepared breakfast as usual, a happy smile appeared on her face. This kind of life was so satisfying. But she wondered when she could tell her stinky old man that she had found a boyfriend.

"Oh dear, I wonder if Cheng Xing will be able to win his approval? What if my old man objects to me being with Cheng Xing? Should we just elope then?"

Just as Kiana was worrying about something pointless, she suddenly noticed a small card left on the table.

"I have some things to take care of today and I'll be back soon."

"Hmm, looks like he's busy preparing plans again. Oh well, he's not going to tell me anyway."

Kiana assumed Cheng Xing was preparing his nonsensical plan again and didn't pay much attention. She quickly finished her breakfast, but just as she was about to leave for school, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Something seems to be approaching on the distant horizon.

Just as Kiana noticed a blurry black dot on the distant horizon and had a bad feeling, the school's alarm suddenly went off.

"Notify all teachers and students: Anti-Entropy is attacking! Prepare for battle!"

Theresa's voice was broadcast to every corner of the school, and it was the first time Kiana had ever heard her aunt speak in such a serious and earnest tone.

"But this is indeed a big deal."

Kiana took out her weapon. Although she had been living a peaceful life for so long, it didn't mean that her combat skills had declined. She had never slacked off in the practical training sessions.

"Kiana, Bronya, Raiden Mei, Cheng Xing, whoever's name is called, come to my office immediately!"

Upon hearing Theresa's order, Kiana did not hesitate and immediately ran towards the headmaster's office.

"But Cheng Xing happens to leave sometimes now. If it were anyone else, I would suspect that he might be a spy because of such a coincidence."

Kiana thought to herself as she rushed to the office, only to find that she was the last one there.

"Now that everyone is here, let me explain."

Theresa's small body inexplicably exuded a strange sense of power at this moment.

"We can't get the entire fleet to the school. If a large number of mechanized units flood the campus, the students' physical strength will be insufficient to support them. Moreover, it will take headquarters at least half a day to get here. Even if we succeed after holding out for half a day, we will suffer heavy losses. We must fight in the most energy-efficient way and with the least casualties."

"And coincidentally, the iconic warships of the Moon Throne have appeared on the battlefield. The high-ranking leaders of Anti-Entropy will definitely be on those ships. Taking advantage of Bronya's familiarity with Anti-Entropy, I want you to form a team with several Valkyrie squads to directly infiltrate the Moon Throne and carry out a decapitation strike against the high-ranking personnel."

Theresa calmly looked at everyone present and then said, "This is not a request, but an order, understand? I know that each of you is special and has a distinct personality, and I respect that, after all, you have the ability. But I hope that at this critical moment, you will not act on your own, okay?"

"No problem, I will follow Himeko-sensei's orders."

Kiana was the first to say she had no objections. It was definitely more reliable to leave things she didn't understand to professionals. All she had to do was fight.

"So where is Cheng Xing? Why isn't he here at this time?"

“He said he had something to do this morning and left without me knowing what he went to do.”

"Sigh, why did he have to leave at this time? His abilities might have been of great help."

Theresa sighed helplessly and waved for everyone present to immediately head to the helipad and board the assault ship.

"If we encounter a situation that is too dangerous, let's prioritize our own safety... At least the school hasn't fallen so low that it would take the sacrifice of some people to save it."

"Don't worry, Auntie, we'll be back soon. Of course, that is, if that guy doesn't mess me up."

Bronya remained expressionless.

Cheng Xing stood in a corner of the school, watching his girlfriend and several familiar friends board the assault ship and quickly take off towards the Moon Throne.

He already knew what was going to happen next, and he could stop it or postpone it.

He can prevent Kiana from discovering the truth, he can stop the end from coming, and he can keep postponing the final arrival of the cycle.

But he no longer had time to do that.

"Kiana, I'm sorry, this wonderful life has come to an end. I've been so happy spending so many days with you, and I've truly experienced the warmth and happiness of spending every ordinary day with my loved one... Thank you, but I'm also sorry, I'm afraid I can no longer walk with you."

"I'm sorry, Kiana, I'm going to lie to you again."

Chapter 209: Gaze

"Kiana Kaslana, the truth is clear: as the perfect Herrscher body, you killed your own father in a childhood accident when you lost control!"

Cocolia stared menacingly at Kiana, whose pupils were dilated, standing before her. Just moments ago, she had done something that could destroy humanity: she had utterly crushed Kiana's will.

"I...I killed...my father..."

Fragmented and chaotic memories flooded my mind. The images were intermittent and incomplete, yet they seemed to subtly suggest the credibility of the events.

Kiana clutched her head and wailed in agony, as if she could see her father smiling and watching her even after she had killed him.

"Admit it, you are a monster, a monster that can bring disaster and pain to those around you at any time, and even kill the people you love at any moment!"

This statement delivered the final blow.

Kiana's originally sky-blue pupils were now tinged with a brilliant gold, the tears streaming down her face gradually faded, and her sorrowful expression softened, making her appear like an emotionless machine.

"The Honkai energy level in the surrounding area is rising rapidly, far exceeding any record in history!"

The technicians responsible for testing Honkai energy were looking anxiously at the headmaster behind them. The Herrscher born under this Honkai energy index was probably far stronger than the previous two Herrschers.

"...Kiana...what exactly happened over there?"

Just as everyone was puzzled and terrified by the rapidly rising Honkai energy, the Moon Throne exploded.

Cheng Xing stood quietly on a beach outside the school, calmly looking at the guy standing in front of him.

"The end has come."

"Hōraiji Kyuhō... let's just call Him the Deity of Collapse," He declared expressionlessly.

"Perhaps you do have the means to fight against the end, but if I am here, you have no power to resist."

"So, it's not me who's going to fight you."

Cheng Xing smiled and his body rose directly into the air, flying towards the distance. Just as the Honkai God was about to stop him, the sea behind him suddenly churned, and a huge wave rose up. A blue humanoid figure suddenly appeared from the waves and struck the Honkai God with a palm.

He realized that although he was very strong, his physical body was not yet strong enough to withstand the attack from the guy behind him.

Therefore, He mobilized a portion of His power, allowing His authority to be unleashed. He struck a purple light barrier behind Him, and He quietly turned around to look at the beast, which was baring its teeth and staring at Him.

"Even you're going to betray me, Janna?"

"I'm just making the decision I want to make!"

"Hmph! Foolish beast."

At this moment, the entire ocean began to churn, not because of any natural disaster, but simply because the aftershocks of two monsters fighting above caused a tsunami.

At St. Freya Academy, Bronya's heavily armed bunny carrying a large group of people landed from a distance. Theresa immediately rushed forward to ask what had happened. After learning the details, she showed a look of guilt and sorrow on her face.

"Didn't expect Kiana to find out in the end?"

What should Theresa do now?

Himeko looked at Kiana in the sky, who was constantly absorbing countless Honkai energies and growing stronger, and her expression was also very unpleasant.

"There's no other way but to bite the bullet and go for it. I don't want my niece to stay in this terrible state forever."

Theresa put down a golden cross that she had been carrying on her back. The moment she put it down, golden spears suddenly appeared on both sides of the cross.

Finally, these golden spears rose from the ground toward the gods in the sky.

However, the white god merely glanced at them calmly, and all the flying golden spears froze in mid-air before developing countless fine cracks and dissipating.

"We're doomed, we're probably doomed this time!"

A female student knelt on the ground and screamed in a fit of madness.

However, another person appeared not far from the white deity.

Finally, she calmly gazed at the man who had come before her; he truly deserved to be on the same level as her.

"Sorry Kiana, I was late on purpose this time..."

Cheng Xing said this with a smile, but unfortunately the god opposite him only stared at him coldly with his golden eyes, without the slightest emotion.

"Now I should continue to fulfill my responsibilities as a boyfriend."

Cheng Xing took a deep breath, and then some kind of disguise on his body shattered at that moment.

Everything about Cheng Xing was white, even his clothes were covered in pure white, and his face no longer had any features.

You can only see where the eyes are, as if there is a tiny flame burning quietly.

Even the flames were white.

Cheng Xing released the entity sealed within his body and has been assimilating it over the past few days, allowing it to erode his physical body. However, because his spirit and will cannot be rewritten, the corrupted god can only continuously erode his body, assimilate his form, and transform his body, bringing him infinitely closer to the god.
