Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

At this moment, she was the goddess of the moon, and even the moonlight paled in comparison to her smile.

Chapter 92: Conveying

When Cheng Xing woke up, he found that he had been lying back in bed at some point, and his outer clothes had been taken off.

When he went outside, he found that the kitchen had been completely cleaned. All the used dishes and chopsticks had been washed and put back in their original places, and even the accumulated stains in the pots and sinks had been thoroughly cleaned away.

The clothes I had changed out of earlier had been washed and hung outside on the balcony, swaying gently in the breeze.

"...Did I raise a mother instead?"

Cheng Xing looked at his spotless house with a complicated expression and said something with a touch of emotion.

"If you're willing, I can allow you to call me Mother."

Her voice suddenly rang out behind him, and Cheng Xing was startled and immediately turned around, only to find that she had been standing behind him at some point, holding a clay pot in her hands.

"I went out and bought some ingredients, and also looked up some information on this topic, so I made you a pot of porridge. Oh, and I also made you some fried dough sticks and some pickled vegetables. Eat it while it's hot."

After placing the pot of porridge on the table, she left quietly, leaving Cheng Xing standing there dumbfounded.

The once pure white space is no longer pristine; it has been stained with many colors. Now, it is covered with exquisite paintings in various colors, displayed in this pure white world, and without exception, they depict all kinds of people.

Those were people Cheng Xing had either known or had just passed by and witnessed.

"Now that I have developed emotions, how will the tree's consciousness act towards me?"

She didn't know how the tree would judge her after she gained feelings. Would it be like a human deleting or fixing a buggy program? Or like a boss firing a disobedient employee?

However, for some reason, the tree never reacted to its own act of developing consciousness.

[So I really want to say that this is proof of one system fighting against two multi-dimensional beings, but in reality... those two multi-dimensional consciousnesses simply don't care about a newly born consciousness with emotions. It's just a leaf undergoing a certain degree of change, which is nothing more than a fleeting glance that a tree that has witnessed countless changes wouldn't even bother to notice.]

[It's just a minor bug. The program still runs, so why bother fixing it?]

After enjoying a breakfast with an incredibly familiar taste, Cheng Xing felt a strange mix of emotions; something just felt off.

"The enemy I should have considered my mortal foe is now taking care of my daily life like a mother... So, when I can't defeat the Honkai in the future, am I really going to have to cry and whine to my mother like a child to pass the test? Are you kidding me? I want to throw up!"

"If you're not satisfied, this system can give you a specially simulated subject, granting you the superpower to completely hypnotize any living being. Then you can choose whatever position and script you want, right? Hehehe!"

"...I remember a certain system said it was going to go quiet for a while, so why are you so active again now? Also, could you please not use Bishop Otto's voice to make that Soul Temple laughter?"

"Tch! Coward."

The system returned to silence.

Cheng Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and just then his phone received a recording from Bronya.

The recording detailed the argument between Raiden Mei and Kiana, and also highlighted two key points from Kiana: she couldn't possibly have any impression of her and she would never be friends with a jerk.

Cheng Xing turned off the recording indifferently. He was no longer the mentally disturbed patient who had been driven to madness by the Herrscher of a Thousand and Fiddlesticks. The inexplicable feelings he had for Kiana from the Herrscher of a Thousand had long since vanished.

Besides, I already have two lovers, several friends, and one... um, my mom?

Cough cough! There's also a bunch of scum who will never come back. I've unknowingly accumulated so many ties in this world, and I'm no longer the lonely child I used to be.

So in this recording, he only sighed that his Forsaken abilities were truly amazing, and at the same time expressed some remorse for causing Raiden Mei such a terrible psychological trauma.

"...Well, so it's time to simulate...that future Herrscher of a Thousand."

St. Freya Academy...

“My old friend, it’s been a while since we last met. You look exactly the same as before, without any change.”

Otto's voice came through the communication device on the table. Fu Hua said coldly, "I've investigated. Kiana really has no memory of that person named Cheng Xing. It's not something she's pretending to have. As for that woman with cherry blossom hair... I haven't found out the specifics yet, but I think that woman must be very dangerous. The Honkai energy she possesses is also very strong, and she might even be a pseudo-Herrscher."

"Otto, are you really comfortable letting such a dangerous person stay here?"

Otto's voice didn't come through the walkie-talkie immediately. The man just silently glanced at the photo of Karen on his desk, and another photo of a woman with cherry blossom-colored hair dressed in a shrine maiden outfit, which had been secretly taken from an unknown angle.

"...I don't think she would hurt Theresa...Alright, my old friend, thank you for your help this time, but I need you to make sure of one thing."

"what?"

"Doing something as I say is very easy and reassuring."

"All you need to do is take K423 to a secluded corner and say some bad things about that man named Cheng Xing in front of her. You can say whatever you want."

"If anything unexpected happens, just tell her that everything is ready."

"What do you mean? Hey! Hey!"

Looking at the disconnected communication device, Fu Hua understood for the first time just how hated the riddle-maker was, as described online.

"Otto, what exactly are you planning now? Cheng Xing... why does that name feel so familiar? Could it be that there's something related to this person in my lost memories?"

Fu Hua felt surrounded by all sorts of secrets, which was really giving her a headache.

Chapter 93: Sirin's Rebirth

Fu Hua found Kiana after today's class.

"Squad leader?"

Kiana suddenly seemed a little nervous, and then quickly explained, "I didn't sleep in class today, and I handed in all my homework on time."

"...Kiana, I just have some personal things I want to ask you. Is there really no need for such a big reaction?"

Fu Hua adjusted her glasses.

"Phew! You should have said so earlier, class monitor. I thought you were going to scold me again. So what's up?"

"It's not convenient to talk about these private matters here. Let's find a quiet place to discuss them."

Based on her experience of spending so many days together and her understanding of Fu Hua's serious attitude, Kiana didn't notice anything amiss or unusual and followed in her footsteps, while wondering what personal issues they needed to discuss elsewhere.

"Could it be that the class monitor has someone she likes and wants me to give her advice on her love life?"

Kiana couldn't help but think of this; with her current thought process, this was the only possibility she could come up with.

"Hehe, I really don't know who could be liked by such a serious and earnest class monitor!"

Fu Hua heard Kiana's strange laughter coming from behind her and felt a little uneasy. What was this girl thinking? Why did she feel like there was some misunderstanding?

The two arrived at a relatively remote corner, where Kiana was already waiting for Fu Hua to ask her about teenage romance. After a moment's thought, Fu Hua said, "Cheng Xing, this person is undoubtedly a monster."

"what?"

Kiana listened blankly to the class monitor's words, but before she could even ask what they meant, she suddenly lost consciousness.

When Kiana opened her eyes again, they were a dazzling, brilliant gold, reflecting Fu Hua's image. She said in an icy voice, "If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then let's make a scene in this school."

"I respect your determination and your will to protect, but please do not insult the person who is important to me, Immortal Red Iris."

Fu Hua stared at Sirin with a sense of formidable danger. Given her current physical condition, defeating a Herrscher-level enemy would likely require using her last remaining Feather of Dust… Damn it! Otto! You despicable man!

“Otto told me to tell you that what you asked for is ready.”

Xilin withdrew her imposing aura, the dazzling golden light in her eyes gradually faded, and her expression changed from hostility back to indifference as she said, "I understand. Honestly, is this how you tell me? That man is as repulsive as ever."

Just as Sirin was about to leave after casually opening a purple wormhole, Fu Hua suddenly called out to her, "Wait! I want to know if the title 'Crimson Iris Immortal' refers to me?"

"...Sigh! Have you forgotten so much because of that weapon? Then answer me a question first."

Xilin's cold expression softened, and she smiled gently as she said, "Do you feel a strange familiarity with the name Cheng Xing? As if you once had this name and it has a deep connection to you?"

"...You really do know a lot."

"Hehe! This is really interesting! Don't worry, I'm a good boy and I won't break my promises to others. But, it's not time to talk about those things yet. I'll tell you when you remember that guy named Cheng Xing."

After laughing for a while, Sirin stepped into the purple wormhole and disappeared.

Fu Hua was left standing there, frowning, constantly searching her mind for the blank memories of the past.

Inside a very secretive laboratory at the headquarters of Destiny.

Otto looked at the suddenly appearing purple wormhole, his calm expression replaced by a friendly smile. He then stood up from his chair and quietly awaited the arrival of the distinguished guest.

Then the white-haired figure walked out of the wormhole. She first glanced at the guy with the smug smile on his face, and then looked at the purple-haired little girl who was soaking in the liquid.

When Sirin saw the purple-haired girl wearing a white research coat, she nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Otto and said, "You keep your promise. I thought someone like you would definitely try to trick me."

“Miss Sirin, you flatter me. I rarely break my promises.”

"Heh, for you, no agreement is off-limits. The only difference is whether it's now or not. Otto, I know all about what happened in the Babylonian Experiment Tower. It was all because of you. I'll settle this score with you one day."

"I'd be happy to oblige."

Otto maintained his polite smile.

"...But I'm also quite curious, to you, is Karen the most important person, or an indispensable spiritual belief?"

At this moment, Xilin wore a malicious smile.

"There is no difference between the two, is there? The most important person and the indispensable spiritual belief can be the same quality that the same person possesses, just like the person you love, right?"

"So what do you plan to do with this body? Is there any need for K423 to exist now that it has lost the power of the Herrscher of the Void?"

"I believe in her potential. Even after losing you, she will surely shine in her own way. Moreover, the inexplicable disappearance or death of a Valkyrie who already possesses exceptional talent is a painful thing for me as well."

"Hmph, hypocrite."

After saying this, Sirin closed her eyes, and then a dazzling gem suddenly floated out from the heart of this body.

Then, as if drawn by something, the gem passed through the obstacles and entered the body of the purple-haired girl who was submerged in liquid.

Sirin opened her eyes, while Kiana fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Congratulations, Miss Sirin, on regaining your body. Our transaction went very smoothly. You see, I didn't do anything, did I?"

"...That's right, the body hasn't been modified by you in any way, nor has it been rigged with any traps. So, I'll take this paramecium back with me."

"Walk slowly."

The purple wormhole closed and disappeared, leaving Otto alone in the secret laboratory once again.

"Yes, very successful, another piece of the key has been caught."

Chapter Ninety-Four: Pleasure!

As Cheng Xing sat on the balcony, quietly contemplating his situation with the Honkai, he suddenly saw a purple wormhole appear beside him.
