Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

We should be more inclusive and rational in our view of everyone, whether they are sincere or hypocritical. All truths and lies, words and emotions that are sometimes clear and sometimes obscure, should not be like a child trying to attract attention or making a fuss over nothing.

But I shouldn't be like this.

Why should I take on some of these responsibilities?

Self-destruction, then saving the world—am I really destined to be the sacrifice?

Not only your parents, but also others are waiting for you to come home.

Chapter 100 Elegy for Sinners

"It's not just their parents who are waiting for them to come home, Kiana."

Su Xin watched the other person leave, a strange wavering stirring within her.

That determination, which had been brewing for 50,000 years, became insignificant at this moment.

Confused, lost, hesitant, without anything to rely on, without a place to belong.

Fallen leaves can rest when they return to their roots, and can be transformed into fertilizer to continue a second life.

Where do we go after we die?

"Danming? Do you miss home?"

""

When faced with Kiana's question, Su Xin frankly answered her true thoughts.

When a person has been wandering for too long, even if they look up at the starry sky, a sense of loneliness originating from the depths of their soul will arise and silently fill the entire space of their chest.

Lonely children long for the warmth of home.

The great truth of the world is that everyone...

The value of a "child" needs to be recognized; once recognized, there is only pure loneliness.

Kiana was somewhat surprised by Su Xin's direct answer. She paused, then suddenly mimicked the way her teacher, Himeko, had once taught her: "I think the same as you, Danming. I want to find my parents, I want to nestle in their arms. But now I realize I have more important things to do, things I must do. I don't even know if my dad has Cecilia or my mom has my parents."

"But they will definitely be proud of what I'm doing now. I want to be a child that makes my parents proud!"

Su Xin was taken aback upon hearing this, and glanced at Kiana sideways.

Her eyes were filled with hope, that's wonderful.

Because in despair, one decides on the path to the future, choosing to fight for a better world.

"Then your life, not mine," Su Xin replied coldly. "Compared to saving others, all I know is that as long as I can return home unharmed, that's enough to be proud of. I don't need to shoulder any responsibilities, I don't need to fulfill any obligations, I don't need to."

"So what are you doing now?" Kiana interrupted Su Xin, staring intently into Su Xin's eyes.

Even though they've been saying things like "I'm running away," they could choose to go with others and move forward to save the people of this city.

Such contradictory behavior, then?

"Because it's my only choice."

After that, Su Xin remained silent the entire way, turned around, and continued driving forward.

Kiana was confused, but didn't ask any further questions.

At least for now, no new tragedies have occurred, as long as there is an opportunity and hope.

Kiana will seize every hope and forge ahead.

The city sky has lost its former color, and the incessant roar of traffic echoes in my ears.

The night was as dark as ink, but the city lights were dazzling and colorful, a paradise of light pollution in the modern city at night.

On the clock tower in the city center, a bomb shrouded in a purple mist stands quietly beneath the sky.

Mechs patrolled all around, while countless Honkai Beasts lurked in the shadows, waiting for their prey to appear.

The Honkai is widely known, and as a result, the streets are deserted at night.

"Are you sure you want to go now? The Honkai energy in your body is severely corroded. If you get closer to a high-concentration Honkai energy area, even your Herrscher body won't be able to save your life," Su Xin said calmly, following behind Kiana.

At this moment, Kiana, like an agile white cat, shuttled back and forth between the skyscrapers, rushing towards the clock tower and the Honkai bomb.

"But the Honkai won't give us a chance to rest and heal. Besides, my body was created for the only purpose of fighting the Honkai. If I can't even do one thing, then all the people who died because of me have sacrificed in vain. I don't want to let everyone down."

Kiana's speed increased, and she got closer and closer to her target.

Su Xin followed behind with ease, driving while her sword heart nurtured her shattered body all day.

Because the sword heart above the void is too powerful, it is greatly manifested in Su Xin's body. The enhanced version of the divine sound heals the body that was originally on the verge of death at a terrifying speed.

While following Kiana, Su Xin stopped at a window.

He didn't know why he was hiding and eavesdropping on the conversations inside the house, but he would definitely do it in the future.

Now, he comes to the future.

There were only two voices inside: the child's innocent voice and the mother's gentle voice.

Child: "Mom, I want to get good grades and get into my dream university!"

Mom: "Then I will be proud of you."

Child: "What if I get bad grades and don't get into university, then I'll have to sell sweet potatoes on the street?"

Mom: "If you can roast sweet potatoes until they are fragrant and sweet, then Mom will be proud of you."

Su Xin closed his eyes. His memory of his mother was blurry, and he had almost forgotten her.

Each new chapter in her life seems to offer Su Xin endless possibilities and a brand new existence.

But many people's lives and memories have long since torn the original memories to pieces, leaving only a mess on the ground, with scattered fragments of memories nowhere to be found.

In such a repetitive life, can it be called the original?

Su Xin opened her eyes. In reality, she always did things that contradicted her inner thoughts.

Just as Kiana said, she has always been living a self-contradictory life, and occasionally does strange and illogical things.

He's like a madman.

Every action is driven by a need; people act in order to achieve a goal, and all human actions are purposeful.

Only a madman would be doing something that doesn't even distinguish between right and wrong.

Su Xin shook his head and followed. He had only seen half of the future so far, and he wanted to personally confirm whether the final outcome would be the same.

Before that, nothing else matters.

Su Xin had just climbed the clock tower when she heard Kiana talking to someone.

No, I have other things to do now, like talking to Kevin who's a hundred meters behind me.

Su Xin sighed, her eyes dimming, everything was no different from the future she had seen.

Including what we are doing now.

"Come here." Kevin stepped out from the corner, his gaze calmly fixed on Su Xin's golden eyes.

Even though Su Xin's current body is without Himeko Ryouta, Kevin can easily recognize her by her unique eyes.

“I know you can sense that I’m here, Xin. Let’s talk. Mei once predicted that when we meet again in 50,000 years, everything will be settled. Regardless, are you confident enough to complete your mission now? If not, then let me do it.”

Kevin rarely speaks more, but he provides more details.

But his words only brought him more gloom and silence. Even after 50,000 years, Kevin found it hard to believe that Su Xin had changed.

His eyes appeared as bright and dazzling as ever to the naked eye, but from Kevin's perspective...

Now, his golden eyes are far less clear and bright than when they fought side by side.

Without realizing it, Kevin could tell that he, like Kevin, was exhausted.

The weariness in his eyes could not be concealed, reflecting his inner state.

"You've changed a lot. You're completely different from Su Xin who used to be able to chat with anyone." Kevin gave a fair assessment.

Su Xin spoke up, "People always change, the only constant is the future."

"So you want to do it, to stop it?" Kevin asked.

"If you can successfully complete this plan and achieve the overall sublimation of human life forms, I will not stop you."

"Then why did you come here with that girl?"

"I do not know."

"Tell me the final plan for the Zeroing Project, Su Xin. Do you have the ability to complete it? I need a definite answer."

"I do not know."

"Well, I think I know everything. If you want to rest, then move aside." Kevin's words, which had been warm at all, had vanished at this moment.

He understood Su Xin's current state of mind.

A person lost in a thick fog cannot find the right path; every step they take only leads them further astray.

Su Xin was unable to move forward.

Therefore, he had to make way for the pioneers who, in order to save civilization and avert the end of humanity, should complete their mission without hesitation or emotion, regardless of the cost or judgment.

At the clock tower, former close friends turned against each other without saying a word.

When beliefs clash, conflict becomes inevitable.

One person fights, and millions are at war.

"You've always been the same, Kiana, always the same! You can choose to run away from the responsibility, but you have to choose to be covered in wounds."

"Mission? Duty? Responsibility? Obligation? Who do you think you are! I understand the grand principles of saving the world! But you shouldn't have to pay for it with everything, even your life. Have you considered the people who will be behind you?"

Mei clenched her fists, purple lightning crackling and swirling between her fingers.

Kiana felt guilty and looked away from the reprimanding words, and the two could no longer be as open and honest with each other as before.

"I have to do it. If I also choose to run away, then do I, Kiana, deserve the name Kiana Kaslana, which originally belonged to someone else?"

Kiana walked step by step toward the Honkai bomb behind Mei; she had to send the Honkai bomb out of the atmosphere from there.

Once contact is made, even using Herrscher powers, Honkai energy will instantly engulf the entire body like a leech, devouring the little life remaining.

But precisely because she had so little life left, Kiana had no other choice but to use her remaining life to protect as many people as possible.

Mei, however, would not approve of this approach. Winning by so-called sacrifice is not a true victory, and she certainly wouldn't like Kiana and Raiden Mei winning.

"Kiana, don't go any further. You can still turn back now. Everyone at St. Freya Academy, the headmaster, Bronya, Seele, Mr. Siegfried, Aunt Cecilia, and your sister Bianca are all waiting for you, waiting for you to come home." Mei, clinging to the last shred of hope, tried to persuade Kiana.

Kiana's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly laughed absentmindedly, recalling Su Xin's previous conversation: "It's not just someone waiting for me to come home, Mei has ordinary parents waiting for their child to come home."

"I possess power, and I must fulfill the responsibilities that power allows me to fulfill. Mei, step aside, I don't want to fight you."

"Boom! Sizzle!" Lightning briefly ripped through the night, the roar deafening.

Mei's eyes turned completely cold, and her face no longer held its former gentleness. She knew that there was no need for the two of them to talk any further.

Only by defeating the opponent can you force them to make concessions.

Refuse to compromise, thus preventing the other party from making progress.

"No way, Kiana. Forgive me, but no matter what method I use, whether civilized or barbaric, I will not let you advance any further, not even one step!"

With a deafening clap of thunder, Mei used Shunpo to rush in front of Kiana, delivering a powerful knee kick that missed Kiana's face and sent her flying.

A simple test made Mei even more determined to make her decision.

Inside, she intends to completely defeat Kiana and then bring her back to St. Freya Pass.

In the past, Kiana was always able to react to and dodge such speed attacks, and even counterattack.

The Honkai erosion not only brings unbearable pain, but also causes a significant decline in various bodily functions.

Strength, speed, endurance, and reaction time are related to lifespan.

Kiana gritted her teeth, and the Herrscher of the Void decorations covered her entire body. Her eyes were one blue and one gold, and her two braids were draped over her head like a waterfall.

Kiana knew that her current physical condition made it impossible for her to defeat Mei in hand-to-hand combat; she could only rely on the power of the Herrscher.

But the next second, as lightning struck Mei's head, a massive surge of energy caused Kiana to look on in astonishment.

Raiden Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder, descends.

"Mei, you!"
