Primarch and Honkai Impact

"Welcome home, Xilin."

"Hurry up and wash your hands. Tonight you will have dinner..."

"Xilin, come...!"

The mother held the beautiful little dress in her hand and waved it in front of Xilin and said.

"Try this dress on quickly."

"Xilin...waited for me."

The tenderness of her mother in the past flashed through Xilin's mind again and again.

Until that moment...

In this empty ward, sunlight shines through the window onto the white sheets, and my mother lies quietly on the bed.

Her face was pale, her eyes were closed, as if she was sleeping. The monitoring equipment beside the bed made a faint ticking sound, and every tick struck my heart. The ward was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, which made people feel a little depressed.

My mother's hands hung slightly by the bed, looking so weak.

Xilin held her hand gently, trying to convey some warmth and strength.

My mother's hands were so soft, but they had lost their former warmth. I looked at my mother, and my heart was filled with endless sadness and worry. Why was the disease so cruel that it tortured her so weak?

"Celine, I love you...Celine."

"Don't be sad. Promise mom that you will take good care of yourself and live well."

The mother looked at her child tenderly.

"Haha~ Found it, this is it."

By invading the mind of the Second Herrscher through Yu Duchen, Otto finally found what he wanted.

The Second Herrscher is at his most vulnerable.

"Yu Duchen, please help me decorate this memory."

"Xilin, Xilin..."

"Celin...save me."

The mother was calmly giving her last words, her eyes revealing her attachment to her daughter. However, suddenly, her face became distorted and hideous, her voice became high-pitched and sharp, as if she had become a different person.

Her eyes widened, revealing a crazy light, and she shouted loudly: "Mom wants to be with Xilin forever." Her voice was full of determination and obsession.

Xilin was stunned by her mother's change. She had never seen her mother look so terrible. Her mother's expression became ferocious, as if she wanted to pounce on her and grab her tightly.

"Celin...save me."

Xilin suddenly woke up from her sleep, her body trembling slightly, with a few beads of sweat on her forehead.

Xilin's eyes were filled with fear and confusion, as if she had not yet fully recovered from the nightmare. In the nightmare just now, Xilin saw the scene of her mother asking for help. The scene was so real that Xilin could even clearly feel her mother's despair and pain.

The mother's cry for help lingered in Xilin's ears, and the terrified face was deeply imprinted in Xilin's mind. Xilin tried to grab her mother's hand, but found that she was powerless and could only watch the tragedy happen.

Xilin's heartbeat quickened and his breathing became rapid.

Xilin calmed herself down and tried to break free from the nightmare. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a deep breath, and told herself that it was just a dream, not real.

"I was just having a nightmare..."

Seeing that Xilin seemed to have a nightmare, Bella immediately came up with a towel.

"My Queen, you are awake."

"Did you just have a nightmare?"

Bella asked with concern.

"Nightmare..."

Xilin took the towel handed to her by Bella in a daze.

"My Queen, I have found what you want. If you are not feeling well today, let's do it another day..."

"Bella, I want to do..."

Xilin watched as Bella took the clothes in her hands.

Mom's clothes.

When Xilin saw her mother's clothes, she remembered what she should do now.

"By the way...I'm going to revive my mother today..."

"No, I'm fine."

Thinking of this, Xilin said immediately.

"Bring the clothes and come to me at the top of the tower. I must revive my mother today."

"Okay, Your Lady Queen."

"Second Herrscher, that's right."

In the consciousness space created by Yu Duchen.

Otto implanted the idea of ​​resurrecting his mother into Xilin's subconscious mind.

Let Xilin take the initiative to show the true power of the Herrscher of Death.

"Do your best to save your mother. Then I can find a way to revive Kallen."

Otto followed Sirin to the top of the tower.

At this moment, Xilin has used the power of the Herrscher of Death to begin resurrection.

Xilin extracted her mother's DNA from the clothes, and then used her mother's DNA and the power of the Ruler of Reason to create the material cells, tissues and organs needed for life.

Unlike using Honkai beast cells to create Bella and others, creating humans from nothing consumed Sirin's abilities.

But the effort was not in vain.

Finally, mother appeared in front of Xilin.

Looking at this familiar mother, Xilin threw herself directly into her mother's arms.

Quietly enjoy the warmth of this moment.

But Otto was not satisfied.

"You must be kidding me. This is the power of the Herrscher of Death. How is this different from me using DNA to clone Karin?"

"What was created was just a soulless puppet in the mother's appearance."

"What kind of loss of reason is this? What kind of power of God is this!"

Otto was unwilling to believe it. He suppressed his anger, controlled Bella, and slowly approached Xilin.

"My Queen."

"Excuse me, but I don't understand, is the person you are holding... your mother?"

"Does she really possess the soul of my mother?"

"What is a soul? Bella, stop talking nonsense."

Xilin let go of her mother and scolded Bella.

"She is the mother who loves me the most! She..."

"Xilin, Xilin..."

"Mother!!"

Xilin looked in horror at her mother who was rapidly beginning to decay.

"no, do not want."

At this moment, the important mother in Xilin's heart turned into ashes and disappeared.

Xilin looked at the ashes in front of him and understood.

Mom didn't come back to life.

"Only my mother's body can be resurrected, but where is her soul?"

"coming!!"

Seeing that Celine had realized the right problem, Otto realized that the time was now.

But doesn't even the Ruler of Death know the secrets of the soul?

"Don't be sad, my queen."

"It was just a failure. As long as you keep trying, Herr of Death will be able to retrieve Mother's soul with your power."

"No...Bella..."

“I don’t understand what the soul is.”

What is the soul?

"The Queen's soul is..."

The words came to Otto's lips, but he couldn't say them no matter what.

That’s right, what is the soul?

Otto has been thinking about this question for 500 years.

Otto didn't have any answer. Even if he could clone Kallen's body, even if he could input Kallen's memories into the clone's brain, he knew that it was not Kallen.

Because... Because...

It is Kallen's essence, the reason why she is who she is.

It's her smile and her tears.

At this moment, Otto and Xilin remained silent, as neither of them had found any answers.

"Bella, I don't understand what a soul is?"

“Perhaps only God knows the answer to the soul.”

"god!!"

This word appeared in Otto's mind.

It is said that a true traveler can talk to the god of collapse. It turns out this is true...

But if we face something that transcends human wisdom.

Can I, Otto Apokalis, bear it?
