Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

Then a wisp of gray smoke drifted into the body of the End behind him.

Kiana curled up in this pure white space, her mind replaying the scene of her killing her father and Cheng Xing.

Just now, she saw herself pierce her lover with her own hands, his body riddled with holes, a body that looked as if it had been baptized by the battlefield. Kiana was going crazy.

Because at the same time, she also remembered the image of her father smiling and telling her to try to live when she killed him with her own hands...

"I am a monster, I am a monster that destroys the world, I am a monster!"

Kiana, consumed by self-pity, despair, and fear, continued to sink deeper into despair.

But at that moment, someone reached out and grabbed her consciousness as she continued to sink.

"My dear young lady, why are you crying so sadly? Your face is all messed up like a kitten."

Kiana looked at Cheng Xing in front of her, momentarily unable to believe it.

"I'm sorry, Kiana. I really wanted to spend more time with you. I really wanted to cook for you one more time, do your laundry one more time, and have a good talk with you about the things I never told you before. But alas, I really don't have enough time."

Cheng Xing gave a helpless smile.

"No! Cheng Xing! Don't continue!"

Kiana didn't understand what he was trying to do, but her innate and incredibly accurate intuition told her that she couldn't let him continue.

"Promise me that you will eat well, sleep well, maintain a good routine, and live a healthy and happy life from now on... Also, you must forget about me."

Cheng Xing gave Kiana one last complicated look, then silently embraced her. He transformed into some kind of golden light and merged into Kiana's body.

"This is the final agreement."

Cheng Xing, through the fear of his own death, transmitted his existence into Kiana's inner world, and then sacrificed everything to give Kiana's soul power to overcome the dominance of the End.

At this moment, the End will become Kiana Kaslana completely.

Chapter 212: The Curtain Falls

In the outside world, only a moment had passed. In the end, in everyone's eyes, the End, who was originally emotionless and carried out the order to destroy the world like a machine, actually shed tears of pain.

The golden eyes that once represented the power and mystery of the gods turned back into the girl's clear blue.

"This...is an extremely foolish act."

He had thought that guy had some trick up his sleeve, but it turned out to be just this kind of sacrifice? How boring. With the cycle of reincarnation, in the end, he will still become a weapon in the hands of the Honkai. This meaningless behavior is really too stupid.

“Cheng Xing…”

Kiana clenched her fists, looked at the guy in front of her, and said, "I've never been stupid!"

A spear powerful enough to cleave space reappeared, even cutting cracks in the surrounding space, heading straight for the god.

"How could you possibly defeat me, having just obtained the power of the end? Moreover, your reincarnation system is about to be activated because of this battle. I originally thought that the variables in this reincarnation would bring some beneficial actions, but in the end, you did something meaningless again? In the end, the things you sacrificed everything for were ultimately erased by your own creation. How absurd and laughable."

He shook his head in boredom and finally couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the powerless and furious mortal. In any case, the end would eventually come, and that disgusting cycle of reincarnation would restart all these changes, and in the end, they would fall back into the dust and be forgotten by everyone.

The deity left this body directly, now needing to gather all His power to fight against the two uninvited guests and quickly drive them out of His universe so as not to affect the growth plan of His main universe.

Tree and Sea were also in great distress. Although the opponent's main body was indeed very strong, it was absolutely impossible for them to overwhelm the two of them working together. Ultimately, they were only able to extend their power to fight the opponent by sacrificing a hole opened by a broken consciousness.

If the two universes were to collide, the outcome would be very difficult to predict. However, in the current situation, both sides can only remain in a stalemate. One side is in a situation where it is not in a way that would affect its own universe expansion plan. It can only wait for the hole to shrink and the force of the other side to be reduced, so as to achieve victory at the lowest cost. It's just that it's taking a long time.

On the other side were two beings who had been enemies for countless years. In order to gain greater benefits, they briefly joined forces, but their efforts were also affected, and they could only fight on foreign soil.

However, it wasn't without its benefits; at least the entirely new universe and its new rules allowed them to grow to some extent.

Neither side was seriously fighting; they were merely locked in a stalemate to gain their own interests.

But this stalemate is exactly what Cheng Xing needs.

[Honkai energy level detected to have reached its peak; current human civilization is insufficient to defeat the end... The reincarnation system is about to be activated... 3-2... Error occurred! Error occurred!]

"Don't rush to start it. I worked so hard to get this ending, how can I let you return everything to chaos?"

A somewhat unreal-looking entity appeared in the system's core code layer.

Cheng Xing stared at the Alaya Reincarnation System, which had saved the Honkai Impact 3rd world countless times. This thing was created by using the core of the End as energy during the Zero Era, making it an ultimate bug-level item.

This is something that even a consciousness existing at a super-multidimensional level cannot eliminate due to the constraints of its own rules.

"All I can say is that Dr. Raiden from the Zero Era is a monster. It's unimaginable that humans could create something like this. It's truly an infinite miracle."

At this moment, Cheng Xing quietly allowed his consciousness to continuously erode and assimilate these data.

"But honestly, turning his own phantom into a data packet and then using it as a virus to infiltrate the reincarnation system, the original guy really went too far... How should I put it? I feel like I've become an AI puppet now, and there are quite a few things I can't argue with."

After muttering to himself for a while, Cheng Xing then stopped the reincarnation system that had been activated.

After a moment's thought, he conjured a golden throne in the pure white space, walked over step by step, sat on the throne, and closed his eyes.

From then on, the reincarnation system gained a real consciousness, no longer like the rigid program of the past, but a truly terrifying consciousness that simultaneously observed the entire planet.

Cheng Xing knew he couldn't completely eliminate the Honkai, so everything in the outside world was just a diversion. His real goal was to make his data phantom the consciousness of the reincarnation system. That way, even if something unchangeable happened in the future and they had to enter reincarnation again, Cheng Xing would have the ability to preserve humanity's original memories and open a new timeline.

The only price is to sit here and bear the memories of all humanity. If it were a living being, it definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the division, but what's sitting here now is just an artificial intelligence.

Isn't recording things his original function?

This means that humanity has now truly achieved the outcome of being able to fail countless times.

"I am the Alaya-vijnana."

Cheng Xing, no, Alaya-vijnana, uttered his final words with a cold expression.

Kiana opened the door to the room, still wearing her divine attire from the End.

She looked at the cozy room where the two of them used to live together; now she was all alone.

She would never hear that kind voice calling her to wake up and eat again, she would never smell the delicious aroma of the food he made again, she could never snuggle in his arms and act spoiled again, she could never share her happiness with him again, and she could never seek comfort in his arms when she was crying or sad again.

Kiana's eyes welled up with tears again, but just then a blue figure appeared in the house, holding a notebook in his hand.

"This is what that guy told me to give to you."

Janna handed the notebook to Kiana, who took it with lightning speed.

Then I couldn't wait to open it and start reading.

"Today is May 21st, the first day I started writing in my diary. Although I made a plan and vowed that I could complete it, is that really the ending I want? Or do I really have to pretend to be a hero?"

"On May 22nd, Kiana started being picky about food again. The vegetables are delicious, and I cooked them well, so why doesn't she like them? Eating meat all the time is bad for her health."

"May 23rd. Although I was a little confused at first, I have figured it out now. After all, it's for everyone. If I do nothing, what's the point of me coming into this world? Besides, I am the one Kiana loves deeply. Although I am a scumbag, I know what kind of responsibility I should bear! I have to do what my lover should do. I have to do this."

"On May 27th, oh dear, I'm stuck in this space and can't get out for the time being. Kiana even discovered the illusion I created. This is so embarrassing. I must apologize properly after I get out, otherwise it would be so heartless of me."

"I don't even know what day it is today. Everything is the same in this space. I don't even know if today can be considered the second day. But I'll be leaving soon. I also rescued Bronya's sister. Although she looked at me strangely, I'm sure she has some feelings for me. But I can't have any more lovers. My heart really can't take care of them."

"Sigh, keeping track of dates is too troublesome. I'll just write them down from today onwards. I didn't expect that even after escaping that spatial collapse, it would still relentlessly pursue me. Penglai Temple Nine Heavens, ah, it's really troublesome. But thankfully, at least there is still someone in this world who can help. I need to go find him for help."

"Speaking of which, why did I want to be a hero in the first place? Was it to fulfill my responsibility as a lover? Or was it simply to show off or to give those scumbags an explanation? But whatever the reason, after the plan succeeds, I must say, I'm so cool! I've always admired a hero since I was a child, and I finally have a chance to be one, so I can't let go this time."

"Kiana, I'm sorry. From now on, you may have to take care of yourself again... I'm sorry. Someone like me, a big liar, a big bad guy, a disgusting scumbag, must have made you very sad, must have made you very upset. You must be crying right now, right? But don't worry, after you read these words, I have a backup plan... that will make you start to forget me."

At this moment, the diary in Kiana's hand suddenly transformed into some unknown power, and resonated with something deep within Kiana's soul—a power called forgetting—that was influencing the entire world.

All the memories and records of Cheng Xing's existence, including those of everyone, everything, and all records, rapidly disappeared at this moment.

Kiana began to forget what the food that person cooked for her tasted like, to forget the warm, pleasant scent that person had, like the sun, and to forget the comforting words that person used to say when they held her and comforted her.

Age, appearance, gender, name—all records related to that person began to disappear rapidly.

"No... Cheng Xing! I won't let you succeed!"

Just as Kiana was about to forget how she first met that person, a dazzling golden light burst forth from her eyes, instantly suppressing the power of forgetting.

I won't let you succeed again!

"I said I would never forget you, and I never will!"

Chapter 213: Mass Migration

As if emerging from the seabed, a large amount of air rushed into my lungs through my nasal cavity and throat, and I could feel my whole body coming back to life with this intense breathing.

A man, looking dazed, crawled up from a stretch of beach. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he said in confusion, "Where am I? Even if I were resurrected, I wouldn't be next to that guy, would I? Why am I all alone now?"

[It's a miracle you're alive. I managed to retrieve your soul and consciousness; otherwise, even if you were resurrected, it would cause a lot of trouble. As for where you are now? You're in a bubble somewhere in the Sea of ​​Quanta.]

"Really? I feel so weak all over right now, like I have a fever and a stomachache, it's awful."

He sat heavily on the ground, his face pale and his voice weak.

[You should take a good rest. I've suffered serious injuries this time and need to rest for a while. After the settlement is completed, I'm going to take a nap, so don't wake me unless it's absolutely necessary.]

[Evaluation being generated. Your evaluation is... A madman's deception and fraud.]

[You foolish and insane bastard, you successfully deceived the entire world, successfully deceived everyone, making everyone believe you only wanted to save that controlled girl, only wanted to try to rebel against the gods. But no one could see that you had already made all the preparations. You deceived everyone and achieved your goal. You truly made it possible for humanity to defeat the Honkai and even the universe. Even if your actions seem incredibly foolish, what you did truly deserved a reward.]

[You have been rewarded, you mad and foolish fraudster! From now on, your lies will be impossible to expose. Your deceptions may even fool the gods. Under certain conditions, you can even make lies become truth, because you have deceived the world.]

Finally, all sounds disappeared from my ears, and I could only hear the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the unchanging sound of the ocean tide.

"This reward is so amazing, is it possible for me to deceive myself and make it seem like my body is actually perfectly healthy?"

But even though he said that, nothing happened. You know it was just a joke. Then he lay down on the ground, spread his arms, and started to lie flat.

"Ugh, I'm so exhausted! The feeling of tearing my own soul apart and annihilating myself at the same time really hurts! Being a hero is really not easy. Never mind, never mind, let me stand here for a while! Let me absorb some solar energy!"

A young man who once thought he was very handsome has now completely turned into a salted fish lying on the beach.

Collapsed Universe...

More than a week has passed since that doomsday, and Kiana has locked herself in her room for a full week.

Theresa had prepared herself for the possibility of being questioned by the Schicksal headquarters and for the archbishop to take her niece away, but after listening to her report, Otto simply nodded calmly and then left with his troops.

"Now that it's over, what we need to do is make the most of the remaining time to prepare. The Honkai is only a temporary departure; it hasn't disappeared yet."

The archbishop left these words and then ceased to concern himself with other matters at the school.

Everyone at school knows that Kiana was devastated by this incident. She killed her father in a fit of rage and also harmed her lover, whom she can never see again. Such a heavy blow might have driven anyone else to despair.

However, everyone only vaguely remembers that Kiana had a lover who died in this incident, but no one has any impression of who that lover was, whether he was male or female, tall or short, fat or thin, handsome or ugly.

Xi'er, who originally had a good impression of Cheng Xing, only vaguely remembered it because of the disappearance of someone. However, that good impression was only settled in her heart and it was difficult to recall it again.
