Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Kiana, don't think too much, she is just a Herrscher and an enemy of mankind. "

The vigilant words came later, but those words made Kiana feel a little cold for no reason...

The captain stepped forward, waved his hand to summon the black "Key of God", and pointed the tip of the sword towards the figure not far away.

"captain…"

"Kiana, don't be deceived by her. Many people have lost their peaceful lives, family members, friends, and the future that belongs to them because of "Hengkai". That's why we must fight against "Hengkai" , and destroy it! "

"Because of "collapse"? It’s so good~ It’s so good~☆ It’s so well said~ Hehe, hahahahaha~☆”

After hearing the captain's words, the figure couldn't help but start laughing. The girl's weird laughter echoed in the snowfield, and it took a while before it slowly calmed down.

"Kiana~did you hear that? The captain you trust the most is planning to put all the responsibilities on me now, hehehe~"

"You said...what? What do you mean...?"

Kiana glanced at the captain with some doubts, but she saw the captain's eyes dodge in a rare way, as if he felt guilty, which made Kiana even more concerned.

"Captain, what is she talking about?" Kiana asked.

"..."

The captain did not speak, but when the figure was not paying attention, he immediately waved the "Key of God" in his hand and threw out a sword energy. The sword energy split the biting cold wind, split the snowflakes covering the ground, and flew straight away not far away. silhouette.

With a painful cry, the figure's right arm was completely cut off by the sword energy and disappeared into the snow.

"Ugh! You!!!"

Due to the sudden attack, Xilin had no time to react and fell to her knees in the snow in great pain. She covered the wound on her shoulder and smiled disdainfully: "Ha, ha ha ha! Look, Kiana , that’s right! That’s it, using high-sounding words to make excuses for your ugly behavior. So are you, so are he, and so are the ants who once tortured me!”

This sudden blow made Kiana unable to understand it for a moment. She was stunned, looking at the figure with his arm cut off not far away, and then at the calm-looking young man next to her: "Captain, why...?" "

Faced with Kiana's question, the captain still didn't speak. He stepped forward quickly and raised the sword blade in his hand towards the figure who was unable to resist, preparing to kill him completely with the next sword.

Kiana was completely puzzled by the boy's strange behavior, but her reason told her that there must be something hidden in it.

So, Kiana rushed forward and stood in front of the captain, hoping that he could give her a reasonable explanation first, but what she got was still silence from the captain.

All of this seemed too strange to Kiana, whether it was the captain's behavior or the Second Herrscher's hatred for him.

Seeing this, the figure behind Kiana saw through the doubts in Kiana's heart and took the initiative to say: "Kiana, haha, do you know why I said he is a sanctimonious liar?"

"...?"

"You want to know, right? Very good, then, let me tell you."

After saying that, the figure reluctantly stretched out his left hand and snapped his fingers. Kiana suddenly felt that her consciousness was being dragged into the bottomless darkness.

When Kiana opened her eyes again, she felt that the surroundings did not seem to have changed much. The pure white snowfield was still in front of her, and the black tower still stood on the horizon in the distance.

But in the next second, everything in the distance was completely swallowed up by the strong white light. The burning air waves dissolved the pure white earth and burned some dead trees standing on the snowy field.

When the light disappeared, the heat waves that burned the girl's cheeks gradually dissipated. In the distance, there was no trace of pure white on the earth, only a piece of scorched earth and two figures in the scorched earth.

"That is!?"

In the distance, a brown-haired man dragged his heavy body and stood on the burning ground. His long torn gray coat and dark blue scarf were floating wildly with the heat wave, as if he had just witnessed a magnificent and difficult battle. The battle also seemed to declare victory for the man in this purgatory-like situation.

And in front of him was a girl who looked very familiar to Kiana.

The iconic long purple hair made Kiana recognize who it was at a glance. The girl fell powerlessly into the scorched earth, and the luxurious dress that originally symbolized the supreme power of the "Herrscher" was already in ruins.

Yes, there is no doubt that that is the initiator of the "Second Collapse" sixteen years ago, the "Herrscher of Space": Siren.

The hot air stimulated the girl's nasal cavity, the ruthless heat wave burned the girl's skin, and the whisper of death was heard in her ears, "The Second Herrscher" was dying at this moment.

"what happened…?"

When Kiana asked, the dark figure also appeared again. As soon as Kiana saw her, she quickly pulled the captain away from her.

The figure who had lost an arm glanced at Kiana, who was still wary of him. He didn't seem to care, and just explained casually: "At that time, after I became the "Herrscher", humans came to the door soon, "Destiny" "Those Valkyries, and..."Anti-Entropy"~ I remember that's what they were called. In order to destroy me, they really mobilized all their troops☆~"

"So, who is that person?" Kiana asked, looking at the man in the distance.

"He is the current leader of "Anti-Entropy", Walter Young. At the same time, he is also the first Herrscher: "The Herrscher of Reason." "

The captain who had been silent explained beside Kiana.

"The First Herrscher?", the leader of "Anti-Entropy", is he also a "Herrscher"? "The Herrscher"...aren't they all enemies of mankind? "

"No." The captain shook his head, "Well... to put it simply, he is different from other Herrsters. He is a Herrscher who fights for mankind. "

"For humanity..."

"At that time, a fierce battle broke out between Siren, who was the "Second Herrscher", and Walter, who was also a "Herrscher", and what you see now is the outcome of that battle. "

"Hmph, if they hadn't played tricks, that man would have been torn into pieces by me."

Xilin looked very disdainful, but soon she continued to explain: "But, indeed, I should have been dead by then, but, Kiana☆~ Guess why I wasn't killed like that? How about destroying it?"

"?"

The figure smiled strangely, and the answer was immediately revealed in front of Kiana's eyes.

I saw the man named Walter raise his hand with difficulty after saying something, and summoned a spherical instrument glowing with red light out of thin air. Then, a deep red light burst out above it, and powerful energy quickly formed. A "black hole" that can annihilate everything.

As the energy of the black hole continued to increase, Xilin, who had fallen to the ground and was dying, was also controlled by its powerful attraction. Her body was sucked up from the ground and floated into the air. She was about to be swallowed by the opponent's creation. In the black hole.

"!?"

Suddenly, a third person appeared in Kiana's field of vision. It was a blond man wearing a white suit and a smiling mask on his face.

The man walked up to Walter calmly, elegantly took away the spherical object in his hand, and then punched him in the abdomen, but Walter seemed not to notice the other person at all, and was stunned. After receiving a heavy punch from the opponent for a few seconds, he fell to his knees in pain and hugged his belly.

"So this is just a fake..."

The man shook his head and crushed the sphere in his hand, and the black hole containing powerful energy collapsed.

Then, the man patted the dust on his hands and raised his voice to someone unknown and shouted: "My friend, what are you waiting for?"

Before he finished speaking, another figure jumped into the scorched earth and carefully caught the "Second Herrscher" who fell from the sky and had lost its ability to resist.

"That's it, Captain???"

Kiana opened her eyes wide and looked at the black-haired boy in a coat in the distance. She couldn't believe her eyes, but that outfit was indeed what she had seen before, the captain's appearance sixteen years ago.

The captain did not stay there longer, but immediately turned around and disappeared into the scorched earth with the "Second Herrscher" in his arms.
