Honkai Impact: Hyperion Journey

"And do you think I'm really alone?" Kiana smiled faintly.

"What do you mean?"

The puppet looked at Kiana in confusion. All the Herrschers had been expelled from the Domination Theater and could not enter again. The only one present was Kiana.

"They lent me their strength. It would be shameful if I lost to you again."

Kiana clenched the Plague Gem in her hand, and the next moment, the Plague Gem merged into her body. She began to emanate a hot Honkai energy, and flames began to burn on her body.

A blue light flashed across Kiana's body, and her long hair was tied up into a ponytail. The broken sword in her hand was recast and turned into a Fire Sword. This was the power of the Ruler of Reason.

A black and red light followed closely behind, covering her with gauntlets and armor. This was the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Kiana heard Xiaoshi and the others' encouragement and would not let them down.

The flames spread, burning everything, forcing the puppets to retreat continuously. It seemed that Himeko's figure appeared behind Kiana, putting a cloak on her and pointing out the way forward.

"Go ahead, Kiana, you are our pride."

A gentle voice rang in her ears, and Kiana's determined blue eyes sparkled, clear as water.

When the flames dissipated, Kiana's new form appeared in front of the puppet.

The Herrscher of Fire and Flame appears, wearing armor as dashing as a white knight, a cloak like flames, and a great sword that seems to be able to cut through any difficulty.

"This is the power of our companions, puppets. This is the power of bond that you will never be able to experience." Kiana raised the Fire Flame Greatsword in her hand and pointed at the many puppets.

There seemed to be inexhaustible power in his body. This familiar posture reminded Kiana of the Firefly who had beaten her up.

I can understand your feelings now. If I could have mastered this power earlier, maybe Aunt Jizi would not have died.

But the past is gone. What she has to do now is to carry out Ji Zi's expectations and defeat the Honkai, and the first one is the Ruler in front of her.

"Damn it, damn it. So what if you become the Herrscher of Fire? Die!" The puppet blushed.

"What kind of power is this? We have it too!"

Except for the puppet on the mob, the puppets in other positions fell to the ground instantly. The golden core connecting threads floated in the air, shining like stars in the sky.

"With the combined power of 999 Herrscher cores, we will not lose!"

The puppet controlled 999 distributed Herrscher cores, which finally gathered into an aggregate and fell into the hands of the puppet that was still standing.

If you look closely, you will find that there is a piece missing from the Herrscher's core.

The missing piece is still in Klein's body, but they don't want to wait any longer.

The puppet, with the aggregation of the Herrscher's core, blended into the mob. Its aura was countless times stronger than those of the puppets.

"This is not a bond!"

Kiana complained speechlessly, taking away the Herrscher cores from the other dolls and gathering them together, and saying that it was a bond, they couldn't be connected at all.

"Once I defeat you, I can say that this is the power of our bond!"

The mob summoned several giant black hands and slapped them towards Kiana.

"I don't even want to tell you, you don't deserve to hear it!"

Kiana's sword is blazing with fire. She is not fighting alone. Her companions are standing behind her. The obstacles in her way are chopped into pieces one by one by her.

The mob and Kiana fought in the air, and every collision seemed to erase the road (funny).

Kiana, who became the Herrscher of the Fire, became much stronger. The flames illuminated the dim theater of domination, like a rising sun, bringing hope and warmth.

"Haha, Klein, this will save you a lot of trouble. When the mob fails, you can get the Herrscher Core Aggregate."

Zhang Wei and Klein appeared in the theater, surrounded by puppets that had lost their cores.

It is difficult for Bronya and others to enter here, but for Klein, she is a member of the Ruler of Law and has a Ruler of Law core in her body, it is like going home.

And even if Klein was not there, Zhang Wei could still enter directly, and the Domination Theater could not stop him.

Klein nodded.

boom!

The flames lit up the sky. Kiana, holding the Fire Flame Greatsword, cut the mob in half. The mob's bodies exploded in the air like fireworks, and countless fragments flew in all directions.

The doll that had merged into it fell to the ground, its body on the verge of breaking, and the Herrscher core in her body also rolled to the front.

"you lose."

Kiana walked slowly towards the puppet, without any ecstasy of victory. If she couldn't even defeat this puppet, how could she deal with the remaining two Herrschers and the strongest Herrscher of the End.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Kiana, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Wei's voice suddenly rang out.

"captain?!"

Looking at Zhang Wei and Klein coming in front of the doll, Kiana couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"Klein, it's your turn now."

Without responding to Kiana, Klein nodded and picked up the Herrscher Core Aggregate on the ground.

Under Kiana's astonished gaze, a golden Herrscher core emerged from Klein's body and merged with the aggregate. The last piece was filled in, and the core of the Herrscher was complete.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Formally introduce, this is Klein, you can also call her, the Ruler of Rule!" (End of this chapter)

Chapter 325 Appearing at the Funeral

Klein took the Herrscher core into her body. Since she herself was chosen by the Herrscher, there was no conflict and the process could be said to be very smooth.

"It's you, you traitor!"

The puppet suddenly raised her head. By now, she already knew what happened to the Herrscher core that had been missing for a long time. It turned out that it had defected to the enemy.

“Little puppet, there is no traitor. Since the Herrscher Core chose Klein, then it belongs to Klein.” Zhang Wei squatted in front of the puppet and said with a grin, putting his big hand on the puppet’s head as if petting a cat.

"Tsk, you win!"

The puppet had nothing to say, and she also knew that even with the last core on Klein, she would still not be able to defeat the now fully buffed Herrscher of Fire, and the result would be the same.

"Klein, try it?" Zhang Wei said.

Klein nodded, and soon, all the puppets that had fallen to the ground stood up, and those that had been disassembled were put together.

999 puppets stood in front of Klein like an army. Regardless of their combat effectiveness, the sense of oppression was definitely sufficient.

Unlike before, these puppets did not have the Herrscher core and were only controlled by golden threads. Their every move was under Klein's control.

The power to control the theater is now in the hands of Klein alone.

"We're alive again?"

"Those Herrschers were so fierce. They were smashed into pieces."

"Is this the new boss?"

……

Although the puppet could not move, Klein did not restrict its speech, and the theater was suddenly filled with chattering sounds.

Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction. This is the perfect tool man.

Klein had already made a plan in her mind. When she had to work overtime, she would leave it to these dolls. She was used to working normally, and she would feel uncomfortable if she had nothing to do.

"Captain, what's going on?"

Kiana's eyes twitched wildly. She couldn't understand the situation at all.

"Well, Klein is the first Herrscher chosen, so we will just go with the flow and help Klein completely master the core of the Herrscher and this theater." Zhang Wei said.

Kiana: "..."

Although the result was indeed like that, she always felt that something was wrong. Because the external brain was not there, Kiana's own brain began to work frantically.

"...So you have been watching beside me the whole time. Even when I fainted, you were still watching me?" Kiana thought about it and looked at Zhang Wei with a helpless look.

"Well, I know you can do it, Kiana. You did a great job!" Zhang Wei gave a thumbs up.

Kiana's mouth twitched and she shook her head helplessly. Forget it, the Ruler of Law has been dealt with anyway.

There are also the eleventh and twelfth Herrschers, as well as the final Herrscher of the End. Kevin may also be their enemy. They are all very powerful opponents.

After leaving the theater, Kiana and Zhang Wei returned to Saint Freya, while Klein was sent back to the moon. Those researchers would definitely want to do some research.

A few weeks later, Ji Zi's funeral was held as scheduled. Because there was no body, there was only a broken sword of God's Meteorite placed there, which served as a cenotaph.

"We are here today to remember a mutual friend and an eternal hero."

Theresa tried hard to suppress a strange expression. She knew that Ji Zi was still alive, and her expression was almost out of control. She couldn't laugh at this time.

"I will not recount her life story or list her contributions, because they are obvious to all."

……

“It was this teacher who taught us the meaning of companionship, the meaning of fighting, and the meaning of ideals.”

“It also taught us the meaning of beauty.”

"There is no better teacher than her!"

Theresa said sincerely that although Ji Zi was not dead, what she did was worthy of such praise. She walked to the marble, poured half a glass of red wine there, and put the bottle aside.

"Jizi, this is a good bottle of wine."

"You were sad for a long time when I took it away."

"Now, it's time to return it to its original owner."

Theresa stepped aside, and Kiana stepped forward, staring at the broken sword for a long time. It had once brushed past Kiana, and Kiana vaguely remembered the sound of the Divine Meteorite Sword shattering.

"I have made mistakes out of confusion and lost myself out of fear."

"In the darkness, it is you who lights up the sky for me and illuminates the way forward for me in the quietest night."

“You showed me how to proceed.”

"Teacher Himeko."

"The sky you left behind is still clear, and we will continue to move forward along the path you have opened up."

In her prayer, Kiana made a promise that she would remain steadfast in her beliefs and would not be defeated by difficulties.

After the funeral, the students of St. Freya laid flowers and left one by one.

Theresa and a few others were the only ones standing in front of Jizi's tombstone.

"This is the first time I've witnessed my own burial place. This glass of wine is for the past me."

A familiar voice sounded, Theresa smiled helplessly, and a fiery red figure slowly walked towards the grave and placed a glass of red wine next to the glass.

She did not feel awkward, but rather this feeling was very interesting. She was not dead, and this tombstone was just burying her past. But the living her would move towards the future.

"Jiko...teacher..."

Kiana's voice was a little hoarse, and she stared at Ji Zi's back without blinking. Could this be the afterimage of consciousness like before?

Not only Kiana, but even Bronya and the others were wondering if they were seeing things. Was this a living Himeko?

"Everyone, long time no see, how have you been these days?"

Jizi turned around and smiled. They had all grown up. Even Theresa was more capable of doing work than before. Everyone had changed a lot. Of course, the one who had changed the most was Kiana. She was almost unrecognizable before.

"Is it really you? Teacher Jizi!"

She had cried a lot in the space of the Plague Gem, but she was still crying now. In front of Ji Zi, she had always been the student who had never grown up.

"You're crying again. What a stupid crying student!" Ji Zi shook her head helplessly.

She walked towards Kiana and reached out to touch Kiana's face. Kiana thought Himeko was going to touch her face, but the result was different from what she expected.

"oops!"

When Ji Zi pinched her face, Kiana screamed in pain and her tears stopped.

"You feel the pain now, but do you know whether I am dead or alive now?" Ji Zi pinched it and then let go of her hand.

"understood!"

Kiana hugged Himeko. This was the living Himeko, not the afterimage of consciousness. It was so good.
