Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

His entire demeanor and temperament were different from his previous hateful appearance; instead, he exuded arrogance and madness.

If we say that the Herrscher of Thunder in Honkai Impact 3rd is a character who has accepted the dark side of Raiden Mei's heart and uses this to protect herself with a strong queen personality, then...

That Herrscher from Honkai Impact 2 was a personality who truly followed that dark desire and wanted to destroy the world.

A character whose problems cannot be resolved through communication.

"careful!"

Kiana didn't expect Cheng Xing to rush forward so recklessly, and then immediately fired a burst of bullets from the dual pistols in Gigi's hands. Don't be curious about how the dual pistols fired so many bullets and achieved a rate of fire like a rifle. The answer is that Honkai energy is omnipotent.

Although Cheng Xing was not directly harmed by the lightning due to Kiana's interference, the powerful energy still swept him away, leaving him lying to the side, his fate unknown.

"Okay, that acting was pretty perfect. Now let these two chosen ones fight to their hearts' content. In the end, they'll burst into a dazzling romance amidst the fighting and end up embracing each other. Unlike the love-at-first-sight romance in Honkai Impact 3, these two are truly a pair guided by fate."

Cheng Xing sensed that the battle over there was getting more and more intense, so he quietly changed his position and continued to lie on the ground, looking completely relaxed and carefree.

If he weren't worried about being too exposed, he would have even wanted to get some cola and popcorn and sit on the sidelines to watch.

Just when Cheng Xing thought he could lie back and wait for the plot to unfold, a strong, inexplicable feeling suddenly struck his whole body again. He immediately used a skillful undead roll to leave the spot where he had been lying, and then a thick bolt of lightning struck the place where he had been lying.

Cheng Xing glanced at that spot, then at the two people locked in a fierce battle, and then, as if glancing at Raiden Mei out of the corner of his eye.

"I didn't expect you to still be awake. What a pity. I thought I could take this opportunity to kill you."

"Cheng Xing! Come and help me quickly!"

"Tsk! Looks like I won't be able to enjoy the show in peace."

Cheng Xing was slightly annoyed that his gossip had been interrupted, so he picked up the baseball bat that had fallen to the side and a brick and rushed over.

"Are you kidding me? A brick... What the hell?!"

Kiana was about to ask Cheng Xing what use a brick was, but to her surprise, the guy bypassed the lightning protection covering his entire body and smashed the brick into Raiden Mei's face.

The air seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Chapter 160: Where's Alaya? Help her!

Kiana felt as if her worldview had been severely impacted at this moment. As far as she knew, there seemed to be only one type of character who could use Honkai energy without relying on any tools.

Those are the strongest creatures born from the Honkai phenomenon, possessing incredible abilities like apostles of gods, and are humanity's greatest enemy in the face of Honkai.

The Lawyer.

Yet this very being was hit in the face by an ordinary brick—it's like something out of a comedy novel!

"You... bastard!"

Raiden Mei felt a sense of humiliation, and the massive Honkai energy erupted once more. Although the brick hadn't caused much physical damage, the accompanying insult had inflicted significant psychological harm on her.

Cheng Xing immediately opened his eyes, turned around, and frantically fled, dodging the lightning attacks behind him, shouting, "I've already pulled the boss's aggro, and it's gone berserk! Hurry up and take advantage of this moment to deal damage!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Kiana was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning behind those words and immediately used the power of the stigma inherited from Kaslana to unleash a burst of power.

Cheng Xing dodged the lightning strikes with incredible agility, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and repeatedly evaded the physical attacks that Raiden Mei charged forward with. Of course, he also had to dodge stray bullets from his teammates behind him from time to time.

"Oh my, so this is the Herrscher of Thunder? Since you can't even touch me, a mere mortal, you're so weak! A fragile little girl like you with no power should just go home and cry in bed. Maybe your missing father will come running out to comfort you, and perhaps he'll even comfort you as a crying daughter? Oh, not necessarily. Maybe your father just dislikes you so much that he doesn't want you to run away! Hahaha!"

Seeing that Raiden Mei seemed to be turning back to target her own ADC because of the threat of Kiana's strength from behind, Cheng Xing immediately started taunting her to draw aggro.

As expected, because of these sarcastic words, Raiden Mei went berserk and completely disregarded the danger that might be coming her way. She went crazy and wanted to cut the guy in front of her into pieces!

"I'm going to kill you!!!"

Under such a ferocious attack, Cheng Xing was like a willow leaf swaying in the wind, impossible to touch. His body would always slip through various gaps. Even in a confined situation where there was no way to dodge, he could use the surrounding environment and terrain to his advantage, and he would also speed up and change direction inexplicably from time to time to evade.

It seems as if he has no inertia or gravity at all, and he can always do all sorts of incredible movements to dodge attacks.

Because she was completely engrossed in the moment, Raiden Mei had completely abandoned her Herrscher powers and was frantically strengthening her body, wanting to rush forward and tear this foul-mouthed guy to shreds.

Because of this, she completely ignored the threat Kiana might pose from behind and was shot down to the ground. Her wings were already shattered beyond recognition by a large number of bullets, and her body was damaged because it could no longer withstand the violent and reckless use.

Raiden Mei collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

However, her willpower prevented her from falling into a coma. Instead, she raised her head, her dusty face and defiant eyes fixed on Cheng Xing in front of her.

"I haven't lost yet... I will definitely kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xing silently stepped forward and looked at Raiden Mei, whose head still had ferocious demon horns. She silently raised the baseball bat in her hand, then sighed and said, "Sorry."

However, this apology gave people a strange, inexplicable sense of insult.

Raiden Mei fell into a coma—not from being hit with a baseball bat, but from being angry.

Kiana put away her weapon, walked up to Cheng Xing with a complicated expression, and said, "Your mouth is really sharp, you're just too inhuman."

"Isn't this all to ensure your safety? We're comrades who escaped together, after all, and this guy really wanted to kill me. I just said a few words, uh. So what are you going to do now?"

Cheng Xing pointed at Raiden Mei. Of course, he knew Kiana wouldn't kill her; after all, they were supposed to be best friends forever, so how could she possibly...

"Although there's no other way, we may have to kill her."

"what?!"

Cheng Xing was instantly dumbfounded. The script was wrong, director! Even with the initial misunderstanding, weren't their feelings already destined for each other? What's going on? Who changed the script? Where's Alaya? Help! Alaya!

"I think she might still be able to be saved, since I think she's quite conscious."

"Of course I know she's conscious, but the problem is, after all that mockery you just gave her, do you think she'll still be able to think clearly when she wakes up? I think she'll still be in that state after she wakes up, and she'll definitely want to tear you apart."

Kiana crossed her arms and looked helplessly at Cheng Xing, saying, "We're in this chaotic situation trying to escape. Wouldn't it be unwise to bring along a time bomb that could hold us back or even endanger our lives?"

“…But we can’t just kill people randomly. Even if we leave her alone, given her current physical condition, I think there’s a high probability she’ll die here. How about this, I’ll handle communicating with her. Even if things don’t go well, we can still deal with the opponent the same way we did before. It’s just another run.”

Upon hearing this, Kiana looked at Cheng Xing and suddenly asked, "Why do you want to save her?"

Cheng Xing paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Kiana and asked, "Hmm... Do I need a reason to save someone? I just wanted to do it."

"Really? You're such a good person, considering she wanted to kill you before."

"Let's keep things separate... So, can you carry her on your back? You know, men and women shouldn't touch each other."

"Hmm, what a hassle. It's clearly your problem, yet I have to help you. But since you helped me before, I'll help you this time too."

"Thank you."

Cheng Xing felt relieved as he watched Kiana carry Raiden Mei on her back. With this, the two of them would have more time together, and after experiencing some more things, their relationship would deepen.

In this way, the bond between Raiden Mei and Kiana is reconnected.

As for the dance between the gods and the demon king... well, that's something for the Nine Heavens to worry about, not for me.

Cheng was walking ahead, completely unaware that Kiana behind him was secretly observing him with an unusually strange look in her eyes.

"This guy really does look a bit like his old man."

Chapter 161: Misunderstanding

"My dear lady, do you really know the way around here?"

"Don't bother me, of course I know it. I'm a student here, how could I not know the way? Just keep going forward and you won't go wrong."

"But I feel like we're heading in a weirder direction... That old building up ahead looks like the old campus, right?"

"Hmm, it should be correct, right?"

In her hazy consciousness, she seemed to hear people talking. Raiden Mei opened her eyes and found herself being carried forward on someone's back. Then she noticed the guy next to her who was looking around at the surroundings.

"It's you!"

The moment Raiden Mei saw Cheng Xing, her anger surged again. She wanted to use her Herrscher power once more to tear that guy to pieces.

But for some reason, a large amount of Honkai energy has been extracted from my body. Coupled with the damage I suffered before, I am now completely powerless. I can't even struggle to get up.

"It seems she's awake. So, how do you plan to persuade her?"

Kiana put Raiden Mei down without hesitation, then dodged to the side, her hand already on her weapon, ready for battle at any moment.

Although she had previously managed to expel a large amount of Honkai energy from Raiden Mei's body using her own power, it was uncertain whether the Herrscher could extract the surrounding energy in an instant and then fight again.

In short, let's prepare for the battle first and see how this nice guy manages to persuade her.

Cheng Xing sighed, then stepped forward and squatted down. Looking at Raiden Mei's expression filled with disgust and hatred towards him, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met Raiden Shin.

"I'm sorry, Lady Raiden. I said those things before only because I wanted you to feel disgust and hatred towards me, so that you would attack me. That way, my companions would have the ability to help you regain control of your body in a safer situation."

Even if you say that, I will still...

"I know that although the situation is urgent, this method has touched a raw nerve in your heart, and you will definitely hate and despise me because of it. But no matter what, you can't kill me right now, so how about you survive for the time being? Survive by your own strength, learn more knowledge and skills to strengthen yourself, and then kill me, or even use those skills to find your father. Isn't that better?"

Raiden Mei looked at Cheng Xing in surprise upon hearing this.

Cheng Xing smiled gently as he looked at Raiden Mei and continued, "Live on. Only then can you do what you want, right? If you're completely controlled by the Honkai, even if you find your father in the future, you'll only end up hurting him. Don't you want to find your father and ask him why he abandoned you? Maybe your father had some kind of hardship, maybe he was forced to do it, maybe something really happened. But are you really willing to let yourself completely go mad and degenerate into a beast, without even seeking the truth?"

"...I understand. I do want to find the truth. But I will definitely avenge this in the future."

"I'd be happy to oblige, but I won't let you kill me. I'll definitely run away when the time comes."

Raiden Mei remained silent.

Kiana took out her phone and checked it. Only after confirming that there were no new Honkai reactions and that Raiden Mei's emotions had stabilized did she breathe a sigh of relief and take her hand off the weapon.

She walked up to Cheng Xing, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so good with girls. You must have had a lot of girlfriends before, right?"

"Actually, a long time ago I was rejected by many people and never thought that any miracle would happen... But a miracle did happen later, but it also led to new troubles. I do have girlfriends, and several of them."

"Wow! You really are a scumbag. But is it really okay to say that? Doesn't that make it easy for me to hate you?"

“There’s nothing wrong with it. Besides, the person who hides this kind of thing is a scumbag,” Cheng Xing said nonchalantly. “I’m not used to deceiving others. Actually, our friendship isn’t that deep. We’ve only met for less than a day, but we still have some friendship. Deceiving your friends is not a good thing.”

"...So where are all your ex-girlfriends now? If they're still in this city, they're probably in grave danger."

"No, they are not in this world. Don't look at me like that, don't misunderstand, I'm not saying they're dead, it's just that they are truly not in this world. I am a transmigrator."

Upon hearing this, Kiana gave Cheng Xing a strange look, then nodded as if she suddenly understood. She smiled, patted Cheng Xing on the shoulder, and continued walking without saying anything.

"I have a feeling that you have some deeper misunderstanding."

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand, I understand."

"What do you know?!"
