Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

----

Is this... is this the end... In the dark, it seems that there are countless people trying to persuade Jizi to give up, but in this chaos, there seems to be a weak but not confused voice that breaks through the shackles of the void. Calling her.

"Jiko, you won't fall down here, right?"

That reassuring voice made Jizi startled, and Jizi couldn't help but desperately open her heavy eyes.

The boy's phantom gradually dissipated, and behind him, Theresa put her hands on her hips, smiling as usual. There were also Mei Yi, Fu Hua and Bronya, all looking at her tenderly.

When their figures dispersed one by one, they saw the white-haired girl standing behind her friends, showing her a bright smile:

"Aunt Himeko, I want to become the strongest Valkyrie!"

Absolutely – don’t give up yet! I can't fall down yet!

Hot tears flowed down Jizi's cheeks, and ferocious flames spurted out from the back wings, even the soul steel outer armor that was extra reinforced to protect the driving back wings and power modules was shattered. Ji Zi summoned up all the power she could muster and ignited the God's Falling Sword in her hand again.

"——Kiana, raise your head and move on! Go and work with him...and them to turn this imperfect story into what you expect!"

"Damn it!" Facing Ji Zi who roared down, Xilin screamed unwillingly. She could have launched another fatal attack, but before taking action, she suddenly could no longer feel her important attendant - Bena. The existence of Les, and immediately afterwards, the imaginary space behind him was instantly torn open by a strange and vicious force.

"What!?"

Xilin turned her head to look in shock, and saw the god-killing blade of light tearing through the sky, appearing out of thin air, sweeping and cutting the world created by the "Herrscher of the Sky". "Sword Style" directly destroyed the real space, and even the corresponding imaginary number space suffered almost the same impact.

And because of this moment of distraction, Xilin missed the last opportunity to attack, but Jizi got a chance to reverse the victory.

Like a shining meteor piercing the sky, the sphere transformed from the imaginary giant gun exploded and burned in the white flash. As if it was the wrath of heaven, Ji Zi fell from the sky carrying the flames that burned the sky.

"Damn it, that's terrible!" Xilin roared unwillingly as Ji Zi roared down.

This blow almost ignited the entire space. At this moment, even the power of the Herrscher of the Sky was eclipsed, and the god-killing flames ignited by the will of mortals filled the entire imaginary space.

"...?"

Her brain, which had become stagnant with fear, began to function again. Sirin was shocked to find that the giant sword that should have penetrated her was inserted into her back, supporting the steaming Infinite Tajiko.

The red armor lost its bright color under the high temperature, and a strand of hair slipped from her shoulders. Jizi's eyes were half-opened, and her pupils were dim and dull, like two burned ashes.

It seems that he was burned to death by a power beyond his control.

Siren, who narrowly escaped death, breathed a sigh of relief. Human beings are indeed only human beings after all.

But the whisper of a fly suddenly sounded in her ears, causing Xilin to break into a cold sweat again.

"Stay alive...Kiana, this is...the last...lesson." Jizi's lips moved, pouring out her last words of advice to her students.

And amid the whispers, the scarred Sword of the Fallen God finally broke into pieces. Wuliangta Jizi seemed to want to give her most naughty student a last hug, and slowly fell onto Xilin's shoulder.

Although he was obviously not injured, why, why did his heart hurt so much?

The other soul existing in her body began to be restless again. Was it that sentence that aroused her consciousness? Or is it because the energy of the three "Herrscher Cores" has been almost exhausted by himself?

Ah, hypocritical human beings, do you still want to play such tricks when death is imminent?

"you--"

Xilin frowned in disgust and used the remaining strength in her body to flick away Jizi who was approaching her.

Get out of here! Just when Xilin was about to say this, she saw a smile lingering on the corner of Jizi's mouth.

——Captain, I'm sorry... I'm afraid I can't have another drink with you this time... Kiana... and everyone... I'll leave it all to you.

The syringe was unlocked when Himeko apologetically entrusted everything to him silently. The "Anti-Honkai Serum" that was given to Himeko by Hollander and was supposed to save Himeko's life was injected at this time. Siren's body.

"Uhhhhhh-"

There seemed to be electric current flowing through the body, and severe burning pain swept through the whole body.

Siren screamed in pain, and the Honkai energy in her body moved uncontrollably, turning into black and red light spots and dissipating.

No, no, no, no, no, my power, the power God gave me! Don't take away my power!

Her consciousness was moving away, and Xilin could even feel that this body was getting out of her control inch by inch.

Are you going... back to that place again? I don’t want to go back... Xiaozhi... It’s so dark there... Xiaozhi... I don’t want to...

As a result, at the last moment of her consciousness, as the "Herrscher", Siren called in her heart, but it was still the name of a certain human being...

Ah...Why on earth...is this happening?

Suddenly, for some reason, such a question flashed through her mind, but Xilin didn't know and couldn't know.

It's just that no matter how hard she forces herself not to think about things that should be useless to her, in the end, what flashes before her eyes is the unchanging warm smile on that person's face...

Twig...I...

The stone ship began to collapse, and the broken stones fell rustlingly. Without the support of the creator, this world that went against common sense could only end in collapse.

The black clouds dispersed, and the blue sky was like the girl's eyes, pure and bright.

Only the sleeping Jizi is like a withered rose, accompanied by the fragments of the world, falling lonely and eternally...

----

Before the energy was completely exhausted and turned back into a pendant, as its owner waved, the light blade that seemed to extend indefinitely but seemed to remain unchanged cut a huge crack in the space of several kilometers in front of the captain's eyes. Like a bottomless black hole, the crack began to draw away everything around it crazily, and not even light could escape.

The body of the "Judgement Level" Honkai Beast named Benares was neatly divided into two together with the surrounding sky as early as the moment the space fall ended. She did not even express her condolences to her most cherished master. Given the opportunity, the corpse turned into bright Honkai energy light particles and was sucked into the huge space crack.

In this sky that is completely distorted due to the complete tearing of space, human beings have long lost control of their bodies, and even their consciousness has fallen into the cold tide. The "Trace of Nothingness" that has exhausted its energy can no longer Protecting its master from being swallowed by the space rift he cut, but the captain doesn't care and has no strength to care.

Letting his body be enveloped by the inescapable attraction and falling into a deep chasm filled with only darkness, the captain just closed his eyes and enjoyed the tranquility on his deathbed...
