Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

Tesla spoke up: "Yang, tell her we've succeeded this time! Since it's good news, it must mean that Anti-Entropy has successfully defeated the Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Rock, saving Coral Island from its fate of destruction!"

Tesla shouted at Walter, turning to look triumphantly at Cecilia.

Cecilia didn't seem to care much about this, staring intently at the holographic image without even glancing at it, as if she didn't care about Tesla's opinion at all.

Walter coughed twice, his tone somewhat embarrassed.

"Uh, Anna, the Herrscher of Ice, and the Herrscher of Earth were all defeated. They were completely killed before they could cause more casualties."

"I"

"But we don't fight against entropy."

"?"

Tesla was instantly speechless, his expression freezing.

"How...how is this possible, Himeko!" Theresa covered her mouth, so surprised she could barely speak. Her pupils swayed like leaves in a storm, widening as if they were copper bells.

In the holographic image, the Crimson Knight: Eclipse armor is blurred in the hazy smoke, but a pair of dazzling golden eyes are visible in the light and shadow.

Himeko's face showed not a single expression, neither pain nor joy.

With a blank expression, he wielded the Key of Blank, slaying the Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Rock with the force of thunder.

Although the opponent is not a complete Herrscher, their speed and power are something that even a true Herrscher might not be able to achieve.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? She's only an A-rank Valkyrie!? With the support of the Blank Key developed by the previous civilization, she can reach this level!?" Tesla was completely dumbfounded.

"No, that's not right. Before, Himeko Murata fought the Herrscher of the Void on the Hyperion in the Imaginary Space. She also used the Key of the Void at full power, but she wasn't as strong as she appeared on screen. Her explosive power and the intensity of her flames were far superior."

Ai Yin calmly analyzed the situation.

Walter asked, "Ayn, what's your opinion on this?"

"Yes, but that's just my personal guess. The Himeko Murata in the picture might not actually be Himeko Murata."

"Dr. Aiyin, what do you mean?" Theresa turned around and asked. She had finally found hope, but was she going to be told that Himeko was indeed dead?

"Theresa, don't rush, take another look," Ai-in said, pointing to Himeko Murata in the picture.

"Himeko's eyes are golden, but they never emit a halo. Only when the energy in one's body is abundant, such as a Herrscher or a fusion warrior from a previous civilization, can one achieve this."

"Himeko's body obviously does not support the body being filled with excess Honkai energy. Even with the Plague Gem embedded in the Blank Key, it cannot provide more Honkai energy than the host's own body can handle, unless she can connect with the Imaginary Space and obtain more Honkai energy from it."

Listening to Ayn's analysis, Theresa bit her lip. "Dr. Ayn, just give me your conclusion. I can accept it."

Aiyin glanced at Theresa, whose face was grave, and sighed, “It’s just a guess, and a guess that dialogue would be beneficial to humanity.”

"It's a guess that Himeko Murata will become the Seventh Herrscher: the Herrscher of Flame."

"???"

“That’s right. Even the S-rank Valkyrie Cecilia couldn’t possibly create such a massive amount of Honkai energy.” Welt voiced his thoughts, casually mentioning Cecilia to let her know that he was paying attention to her.

After all, Cecilia Adam was Siegfried's wife, Walter, who raised her to adulthood.

"But if Himeko Murata becomes the Seventh Herrscher, why would she want to kill her fellow Herrscher? Could it be that she retains her human will? No, that's impossible. A Herrscher born with a human will cannot retain their own will. So there's only one possibility: before her consciousness completely dissipates, Himeko Murata wants to help humanity eliminate the other two Herrschers, and then wait for us to kill her."

"No, no, Himeko's consciousness must still be there. Since she's helping us now, we can't abandon her. We can think of another way! There must be a way for the human will to overcome the will of Honkai destruction!"

Upon hearing that Tesla wanted to kill Himeko, Theresa couldn't sit still and immediately stood up to refute him.

However, only three people responded silently.

None of Ayn, Tesla, or Walter answered Theresa's question, nor did they even look at her.

There is only one cruel fact: Anna is the Herrscher of Ice, Chen Tianwu is the Herrscher of Geo, and Himeko is the Herrscher of Flame.

They were all born as Herrschers, chosen by the Honkai, without any human intervention.

Even if they can maintain their human sanity for a short time, they will eventually degenerate into apocalypses who only want to destroy civilization.

In three days at most, Himeko Murata will become an even more troublesome enemy.

It's important to understand that even with the advanced technology of the previous civilization, the Herrscher of Flame destroyed an entire continent, wiping out hundreds of millions of people in an instant, all while Hemiko was constantly rebelling against the Herrscher's personality.

If the body is completely taken over by the Herrscher personality, the resulting casualties will only be more exaggerated.

“We must prepare for the worst. I’m sorry, Theresa. Himeko was also my student. I believe that if she knew the current situation, she would also be willing to give her life for humanity.”

"But, but it's Himeko!"

“I know, but if we leave it unchecked and wait for the Herrscher personality to fully awaken, it will be too late. At least we can let Himeko die as a human,” Welt’s voice was very somber.

When people bring the topic back to reality, all their beautiful ideals and expectations will be shattered.

Reality is harsh, and they must deal with it rationally.

“Theresa, just as Welt said, if we make the Herrscher of Flame our enemy, more people will die. It would be best for Himeko to die as a human.”

Ai Yin also began to persuade her.

"That's right, if I became a Herrscher, I would definitely want that kind of ending too!"

Tesla echoed this sentiment.

For a moment, Theresa could only turn to Cecilia for help, but would Cecilia really speak up for her?

Everyone knows that a born Herrscher cannot change their human will. Cecilia is not rational enough to do so now.

“We can give it a try; who knows, there might actually be a chance?” Cecilia’s unusual statement surprised everyone.

"Hey, don't try to be different. Do you know how many people you'll kill by doing this?!" Tesla shouted.

Cecilia calmly replied, "If I had ten billion, I would donate it to those in need; but if I had one million, I wouldn't donate it, because I really do have one million. Dr. Tesla, do you understand what I mean?"

"Don't stand on a moral high ground to judge others, and don't change your mindset."

"Besides, are you absolutely certain that Himeko Murata is currently a Herrscher? Right, Theresa?"

Cecilia gave a meaningful smile and reached out to pat Theresa's not-so-bright head.

Chapter 109 Declaration of Annihilation

"The reason is probably, Cecilia. You spent some time with the Second Herrscher, so you should understand the Herrscher's nature better than us, or perhaps the Herrscher is special because it stands on the side of humanity."

Walter pushed up his glasses and asked, his hands behind his back.

Cecilia, of course, wouldn't be stingy with her vision. Now she's a free woman, belonging neither to Destiny nor to any organization.

Because the experiment did not require the Holy Blood, Otto granted her freedom and made a promise: You are free, I will not stop you from going anywhere, and you can come back if you want. Schicksal Headquarters will always have a place for you.

Cecilia wasn't sure whether Otto's experiment had succeeded or whether a method had truly been developed to allow Herrschers to maintain their human will, but one thing was certain.

Otto was grateful and even offered many valuable compensations to make up for the more than ten years of house arrest.

"I have no opinion on that. Rather than Himeko Murata becoming a Herrscher because of the Plague Gem, I'm more inclined to believe it's some kind of soul possession possibility. If an explanation is needed..."

"It's roughly similar to a consciousness transfer method, you see."

Cecilia pointed out that Himeko Murata in the picture was expressionless, which was completely different from the Himeko that everyone remembered.

Cold and tyrannical.

After throwing out the Godfall Sword, blue-purple flames enveloped his hands, instantly piercing through the chests of the two Herrschers.

He removed the Herrscher core and looked down at the gem, which was of great research and strategic value, with an extremely contemptuous gaze.

Suddenly, she laughed, but her expression showed no joy whatsoever. It was more like she was looking at some effort that had come to nothing, revealing exhaustion and sorrow.

The next moment, she carelessly discarded the two blood-stained gems in the ruins, then turned to face the lifeless Anna and Chen Tianwu.

He had killed them without hesitation before, but now he was kneeling on the ground, taking out an unmeltable ice crystal flower from somewhere and placing it on the corpses.

Then, as he flew through the sky, he glanced once more at the survivors on Coral Island and sighed at their plight. His eyes dimmed further, and suddenly, on the other side of the sky, only a golden flame remained, chasing after him in the air.

"Why didn't she absorb the power of those two gems? If she was born a Herrscher, she should be able to, right? At the very least, she wouldn't leave it to humans, would she?"

Walter was puzzled.

"Indeed, but we cannot arbitrarily conclude that she will definitely side with humanity until we fully understand the logic behind her behavior."

Ai Yin twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, unable to comprehend what the other person was doing.

If human, then it's to discard the two gems as if they were mere trifles; if a Herald, then it's to kill one's comrades.

Moreover, in either case, the current contradictory scene would not exist.

Himeko couldn't possibly show that expression, and her Herrscher personality wouldn't be as calm as it appeared in the hologram.

Because Herrscher personalities are often extreme, with obsessive emotions, and are a collection of negative or extreme human emotions.

"In any case, we'll prepare for the worst before we go and negotiate with her."

What if the negotiations fail?

“There’s only one battle left. I will retreat temporarily and fight her again when I’m fully prepared. In my current state, I’m afraid I can’t handle it alone.” Walter lowered his head, looking dejectedly at the erosion lines on his palm.

His body was riddled with holes from the corruption of the Law of Reason core, and even now that the Law of Reason core has been handed over to Bronya, it cannot reverse the damage to his body.

The opposing force, the Flame Law Master, had a distinguished record of military exploits in the previous civilization; a direct confrontation would clearly be unreasonable.

“Cecilia, will you help us?” Theresa looked up at Cecilia, who was half a head taller than her.

“I will help you, Theresa, because you are my best friend,” Cecilia replied directly.

"Thank you, I'm sorry, Cecilia. I was a little..."

“It’s okay, I understand, but Theresa, people always grow up. You should take the time to try to find meaning in life, instead of following others. This is my advice as a close friend.”

Cecilia was well aware that Theresa had suspected her before, and that Otto had sent her to create conflict and estrangement between Anti-Entropy and St. Freya.

Even if they are close friends, more than ten years of separation can put a thick layer of frost on their relationship.

“I’m reporting back to Destiny, Theresa. My contact information has never changed. Of course, it doesn’t seem to matter if it does change.”

Cecilia turned around, her back view resolute.

The Anti-Entropy members didn't quite understand the meaning of Cecilia's second half of her sentence, but Theresa's eyes narrowed, she pursed her lips and lowered her head guiltily, her small hands clenching her dress to hide her panic.

"Return to destiny? Cecilia, you..." Walter, unaware of the truth, was very concerned for Cecilia's desire to return to destiny. She had finally escaped that prison without freedom, only to be trapped in her own cocoon if she wanted to go back.

Doesn't she want to see her husband Siegfried, who is in anti-entropy?

"Don't stop her, Yang. She's one of Otto's people; she's just here to annoy us," Tesla said irritably.

As the four remained silent, Cecilia stepped outside and gazed up at the clear sky.

Perhaps knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing.

After leaving Entropy Cecilia, they didn't board the plane to Destiny. Instead, they came to a small mountain village near Coral Island. It's hard to imagine that in a technologically advanced world, such a village is so isolated, as if it existed a thousand years ago.

But it exists, in the world, in reality.

Cecilia should not have been here, or even known that such a place existed.

"Call me, Danming, the hero of the former civilization, come out." Cecilia murmured as golden waves rippled across the wheat field.

She knew he could hear her.

As harvest season approaches, many farmers can be seen looking with satisfaction at their tall crops in the rice paddies.

Cecilia hid in the rice paddy, unnoticed.

Not long after, the temperature behind her suddenly rose. Cecilia turned around and looked at Himeko Murata, who was wearing the Blank Key, or Eiji, the strongest fusion warrior of the previous civilization.

"A hero wouldn't."

There was no light in Su Xin's eyes; her gaze was fixed on the distant sky, where everything was crimson.

Long before Cecilia was killed by Ice Law and Rock Law, Su Xin suddenly contacted her and told her the plan.

After hearing Su Xin's complete plan, Cecilia, who thought she was used to everything in the world, was so shocked that she couldn't even utter a word.

Ten years ago, I would have definitely rejected the plan; ten years later, even if I don't reject it, I would never support it.

But after Su Xin told Cecilia that Otto was determined to save the golden-eyed Kallen, Cecilia suddenly wavered.

It can involve the brutal killing of humans.

The psychological torment is something that no normal human being could endure.

Otto's gentleness and humanity were embodied in Su Xin, and the motto of the Valkyrie Destiny was thus engraved in everyone's heart.

Everyone firmly believes that it is worth fighting for all the good things in the world.

From Otto's heartfelt conversation, Cecilia learned that Su Xin was an extremely upright person.
