In the subsequent conversation from Durandal and Otto, everyone in the live broadcast room noticed a piece of information.
That is, Kiana has clearly used the power of the Herrscher continuously, but the Honkai energy in her body is constantly increasing.
Otto's answer was that the Honkai energy generated by the bomb detonated above Arc City did not spread, but disappeared without a trace.
It was obvious that Herrscher of the Void absorbed that energy and grew as Otto expected.
This was originally just a sentence or two to mention the past information, but everyone in the live broadcast room keenly grasped this detail.
[You ... Old thief, are you sharpening your knife again? ]
[Fuck, all the Honkai energy in that Honkai engine was absorbed by Kiana? Then doesn't this return a big favor to the Herrscher of the Void? ]
[No wonder Fu Hua has not communicated with Kiana. She must have been trying her best to suppress the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void. Otherwise, the Herrscher of the Void might have already controlled Kiana's body when she was unconscious. ]
[I bet 50 cents, this is definitely the foreshadowing of a very important plot later! ]
The audience in the live broadcast room talked a lot. Nowadays, they are no longer the simple players who believed in Su Mu's words of health, sunshine, warmth and healing.
After experiencing various knives, they have now developed knife radar.
No matter the slightest hint, they can't escape their sharp eyes.
" Su Mu, do you really want to continue harassing Kiana? "
Seeing the reminder from the barrage, Elysia reacted belatedly and immediately glared at Su Mu angrily.
" Of course not, am I that kind of person? "
Su Mu said righteously.
The person he wanted the knife for was obviously Mei, so how could it be Kiana?
How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?
Hearing Su Mu's words, Elysia and the three of them immediately cast questioning glances at him, as if to say, don't we still know what kind of pervert you are?
" Really? I don't believe it. "
Elysia looked suspicious.
Now Su Mu's credibility with her is very low, and she won't believe Su Mu's words.
" Then don't you know if you keep playing? "
Su Mu spread his hands.
" What about Fu Hua? Is Fu Hua okay? "
Elysia continued to ask.
" Are you trying to spoil the story? I've already told you, you'll find out if you continue playing. "
" Um ... Okay. "
In the game screen, Kiana looked at the salad in front of her. She used to like eating, but now she had no appetite.
Durandal asked her if she didn't like to eat pangasius, and Kiana said a little bit stubbornly that she didn't like to eat fish because it had bones.
" Pangasius fish seems to have no bones, right? "
Elysia said with some confusion.
" Yes, this is just where Kiana wants to express her dissatisfaction with Schicksal. "
Bronya nodded.
" I see. It seems that Kiana still has a childish temper in some places, but that's fine. This way she looks like the Kiana before. "
Elysia smiled contentedly after getting the answer.
Then Durandal took Kiana out of the laboratory and came to the ground.
Kiana tried to chat with Durandal for a few words, but she couldn't get any useful information.
So taking advantage of a gust of wind and sand, Kiana decisively seized this opportunity and used the power of the Herrscher of the Void to open the space in an attempt to escape.
But her little move was still easily stopped by Durandal.
[ " Since you want to leave, don't use that method. " ]
[Durandal unlocked the shackles on Kiana and waved to her,]
[ " Beat me like a warrior, and then leave with dignity. " ]
[ " .... It seems that I can't get around you no matter what. Okay, that's as you wish! " ]
Faced with Durandal's invitation to fight, Kiana was naturally not afraid, and she immediately started fighting with Durandal.
" Ah ... why is it White comet? "
As the game entered the battle interface, Elysia let out a painful cry as she looked at White comet, whom she was controlling.
As we all know, practice is in vain, practice is in vain.
It would be fine if she was a Sky Ranger. Elysia felt that she still had room to operate, but if she practiced in vain ... then she would only be beaten.
And the result was as she expected. After a painful battle, Kiana was no match for Durandal.
Durandal even knows the gun Kat skills of the Kaslana family!
As for Kiana's martial arts, Durandal gave an extremely harsh evaluation without mercy.
[ " what do you want to say in the end? " ]
[Kiana looked at Durandal with sharp eyes. ]
[ " If you can't even master the most basic fighting skills, you are not ready at all. You can't control your power, Herrscher of the Void. " ]
[Durandal said word for word. ]
Kiana knew that there was a gap between herself and Durandal.
That was not an opponent that could be defeated with force . She had to find other ways to deal with it .
At this moment, her mind suddenly recalled Fu Hua's teachings to her in Arc City.
The practice in the illusion every night surged into Kiana's heart at this moment.
Gradually, Kiana let herself go.
[ " Cut off all delusional thoughts and restrain your breathing. Know nothing, be aware of nothing ..." ]
A piece of feather gently fell on the water, and a ray of light bloomed, and then enveloped Kiana's body.
When Kiana opened her eyes again, her eyes had turned bright yellow. The power of Taixu Sword Qi allowed her to control the power of the Herrscher of Space in her body, and several Void Spears were floating around her. .
And Durandal also recognized that Kiana was using Taixu Sword Qi, and immediately nodded with appreciation.
" Wow, is Taixu Sword Qi so handsome? "
Seeing a layer of golden light lingering around Kiana, Elysia suddenly shouted in surprise.
" Really gorgeous. "
Eden nodded in agreement.
I have to say that Kiana is really gorgrous when she inspires Taixu Sword Qi.
[Guigui, is Kiana going to become an immortal? ]
[Laughing, even though I'm talking about Taixu sword energy, the feeling shown by Paramecium has nothing to do with sword energy at all, right? ]
[Hahaha, other people who practice to use swords, and Paramecium uses the spear of Void. Isn't the contrast too strong? ]
[But having said that, why do I feel like Durandal is guiding Kiana? ]
[It should be that Durandal herself also admires Kiana, right? Her character should be a pretty decent girl. After knowing that Kiana saved Arc City, she would definitely not treat her as a Herrscher and an enemy. ]
" Durandal must be a good person. "
Seeing the discussion on the barrage, Elysia immediately said,
" After all, she and Rita are good friends. Rita is a good woman, so Durandal must also be a good girl. "
" And the most important thing is that they are all good-looking. Good-looking girls are definitely not bad people. "
[This is not necessarily true. For example, Cocolia, Jackal, and Raven, aren't they also good-looking? But not a bad guy yet. ]
[Speaking of which, aren't the girls in Honkai Impact 3 all beautiful girls? Even if you want to find something ugly, you can't find one. ]
" Cocolia and Jackal are not girls, so they don't count. As for Raven ... I can't say. "
She did not hesitate to kick the two older ladies, Cocolia and Jackal, out of the ranks of girls, but when it came to the Raven, Elysia was a little unable to comment.
Although in fact, Raven is undoubtedly a villain. She works for the World Serpent and pushes the people of Sky City into a pit of fire.
But the cause of all this is still honkai. To put it bluntly, Raven was once a victim, but now she has become the perpetrator.
This contradictory emotion makes people sympathize with her past, but hate her present.
So Elysia is a bit hard to evaluate this character.
However, most of the characters in Honkai Impact III are full of contradictions and complexity.
And this is one of the reasons why the characters in Honkai Impact Sanli can be so cherished by players, because they are all life-like.
" Su Mu, is this Taixuan Sword Qi very powerful? How come Durandal also knows about it? Has she also practiced it? "
Elysia asked Su Mu.
" How should I put it ... Taixuan Sword Qi is very powerful, and it is quite versatile. It is not just a martial arts technique. "
Su Mu explained,
" And Durandal has indeed practiced the Taixuan Sword Qi. Not just her, but all the Valkyries have practiced it, but what they all practiced Otto's simplified version based on the Taixuan Sword Qi. "
" After all, Taixuan Sword Qi is very difficult to master, and it needs to be practiced from a young age. Many people will not be able to master it even if they practice it for a lifetime. "
" So, Kiana is still a genius? "
" Of course, she has always been a genius, only in combat, but in other aspects ... she is indeed a paramecium. "
" Pfft - Amu, if you say that, Kiana will be angry again. "
Hearing Su Mu say this, Bronya burst into laughter.
In the game, after seeing Kiana adjust her condition, Durandal did not continue to fight her, but pointed towards the abyss-like hole in the sky to indicate where her enemy was.
Of course Kiana refused, but Durandal had no choice but to leave directly, and the quantum shadow immediately entangled her, leaving Kiana with no choice but to deal with these monsters first.
But the quantum shadows kept coming out of the hole. Kiana knew that there would be no results if she continued to fight like this. Fortunately, she used the power of the Herrscher of the Void directly on the hole.
Under the penetration of the Archon Spear, the hollow was shattered like a mirror and then disappeared.
But Kiana also exhausted all her energy, and her consciousness dissipated in unwillingness and exhaustion.
When she woke up again, she had been taken back to the underground laboratory, and the atmosphere that had just eased between her and Durandal had returned to freezing point.
After a period of silence, Kiana looked at Durandal and questioned her incomprehensibly.
[ " Do you not know the truth of all this? Do you know the experiments I went through? Do you know what that person did?! " ]
[ " Why ... you are obviously so strong and not a bad person ... why do you want to help Schicksal? " ]
[ " If there is no Schicksal, who will protect the billions of people on this planet from Honkai? " ]
[Durandal said calmly. ]
[ " There is no absolute good or evil or right or wrong in this world, there are only missions. " ]
[ " And I am only fighting for my mission. " ]
The conversation between Kiana and Durandal once again aroused heated discussion among the audience in the live broadcast room.
Frankly speaking, of course they are all on Kiana's side.
Not to mention that Kiana is the protagonist, and that Kiana did nothing in the first place, it was completely Otto who ruined her life.
So she could never forgive Otto, nor could she understand why someone like Durandal would listen to Otto and stand by him.
And everyone can also feel that Durandal and Otto are definitely not the same type of person, but as she said, there is no absolute good or evil and right or wrong in this world, there are only missions.
She is not on Otto's side, but on the side of Schicksal that protects mankind.
Although they really didn't want to admit it, everyone knew that even though Otto's purpose was not to protect mankind, what he did did indeed achieve this.
In the five hundred years since Otto became Archbishop of Schicksal, many people have survived because of Schicksal, but many people have died because of Otto.
Everything has two sides, it just depends on which side you support more.
Just like now, the audience in the live broadcast room gradually divided into two groups following the discussion.
One group believes that what Durandal said is right, but they must look at Schicksal and Otto's behavior separately.
Destiny is Schicksal, and Otto is Otto. Although Otto is a bad person, Schicksal's Valkyrie are all heroes who fight for humanity.
After all, they were implanted with artificial stigmata, consumed a lot of their lifespan, and spent the best years of their lives fighting Honkai. From this point of view, they could definitely be called heroes.
The other group believed that Durandal words were nonsense. If there was no Schicksal and Otto, there would still be other people in this world who would stand up to protect mankind.
The world never stands still because of one person or organization.
History tells us that whenever mankind is in greatest danger, there will always be someone who can stand up.
They may be just a teacher, a worker, or an illiterate beggar ...
Therefore, since ancient times in China, there has been an old saying that do not ask heroes where they come from.
So if someone says that the world cannot move without so and so, it is simply a joke.
Both of these views have their own opinions and understandings, but if you say which one is definitely correct, then even the screenwriter won't be able to choose.
While the audience was having a heated discussion, an explosion suddenly sounded in the game, interrupting the conversation between Durandal and Kiana.
Then the communication came that the base was attacked by the World Snake mecha unit.
Immediately afterwards, with a loud rumbling sound, the roof of the room where Kiana and the others were sitting suddenly broke open, and a huge mecha fell down, spraying smoke and dust all over the sky.
After Durandal solved the mecha, she discovered that Kiana had escaped.
Taking advantage of the chaos when Schicksal was attacked by the World Serpent, Kiana took the elevator back to the ground. Looking at the fierce Valkyrie who was fighting the World Serpent, Kiana hid in a corner and prepared to leave secretly.
At this moment, a figure in the distance attracted her attention.
The figure seemed to sense her sight and raised his head. Their eyes were focused a thousand meters away, allowing Kiana to see the man's appearance clearly.
[ " .... Kevin Kaslana ?! " ]
At this time, at the Schicksal headquarters on the other side, looking at the results of the experiment just now, Otto determined the interference of the Herrscher of the Void's ability in the imaginary number space.
When Durandal reported that the laboratory was attacked by the World Serpent, Otto asked her to protect the Key of the Second God. As for Kiana's escape, he didn't care. Anyway, her whereabouts could not be hidden from the surveillance of Schicksal. .
" Wow ~~ Is the World Snake going to go to war directly with Schicksal? "
Seeing Kevin directly leading the World Serpent troops to attack Schicksal, Elysia suddenly became excited because she felt that it was very likely that Kevin would take action this time.
After all, he has been shaping Kevin's character before, but no one has ever seen him take action. This time he brought the World Snake to attack Schicksal. He had to take action no matter what, right?
"this should be the case. "
Eden thought for a while and said,
" But I think, judging from the character Kevin expressed in Quantum Sea, he should not just come to attack Schicksal. For him, Honkai is his enemy, so it is very likely that he is I want to conquer Schicksal, the organization that fights against Honkai, just like his previous invitation to Welt and Bronya. "
" As expected of Sister Eden. "
Bronya clapped her hands in admiration, which confirmed Eden's statement from the side.
[Is World Snake finally going to fight Schicksal? Great, Kevin, kill Otto! ]
[Friends who want to see Kevin kill Otto type 1 ! ]
[Is Kevin finally going to fight with Durandal? Just in time to see who is stronger, Durandal or Kevin! ]
The audience in the live broadcast room also became excited.
There is no doubt that they are eager for Kevin to get involved with Otto, and then brutally kill Otto, a scumbag!
The camera turned to Kevin. He asked the jackal to restrain Durandal first, and left the Herrscher of the Void for him to deal with it.
After exploring the nearby Honkai energy for hundreds of miles, Kevin raised his head and looked at the wreckage of the building thousands of meters away, and happened to meet Kiana's eyes.
[ " found it. " ]
Kevin said calmly.
Kiana on the other side quickly withdrew her gaze and hid in the ruins.
The moment their eyes met just now, she was so frightened that she quickly ran away.
But just when Kiana was about to leave the city, Kevin suddenly appeared in front of her.
Facing this former civilization's strongest MANTIS, Kiana was unable to move and even gave up trembling.
[ " Are you here ... to kill me? " ]
Feeling Kevin's cold gaze, Kiana couldn't help but ask.
The man didn't answer, and Kiana only felt a searing flame attack her chest.
The flaming sword pointed directly at the girl's heart, and pierced the girl's chest without any hesitation.
" Kiana!!! "
Seeing this scene, everyone in the live broadcast room was startled, and Elysia even jumped up from her chair.
Although they also thought that Kevin would not be too kind towards Kiana, after all, Kiana had stopped the World Serpent's Stigmata plan before.
But they never expected that Kevin could be so outrageous. Without saying a word, he just stabbed Kiana with the Judgement of shamash.
If he were stabbed in with a sword, even gods would be hard-pressed to save him.
After all, Kiana can be considered half of his descendants. Is this man really so ruthless?
Everyone finally understood why Fu Hua had been letting Kiana escape before and not letting her have contact with Kevin.
Unfortunately, they and Kiana both understood it too late.
But fortunately, the shock to everyone only lasted a moment. The next second, as the pink feathers fell, Kiana's body pierced by the Sky Fire Sacred Blade gradually turned into bubbles and dissipated.
Fu Hua's shadow suddenly appeared, blocking Kiana's body and looking directly at Kevin.
[ " Hua, long time no see. " ]
[ " Kevin, stop. " ]
The man holding the flaming sword quietly looked at the companion in front of him who had stood beside him countless times, but now she was standing on the opposite side of him.
[ " Ah ... ah ..." ]
[Kiana gasped for air, cold sweat spread all over her body. For just a moment, she really thought she was going to die. ]
[ " Kiana, go quickly, don't look back! " ]
[Fu Hua said without looking back, looking at Kevin as if facing a formidable enemy. ]
[ " What .... ? " ]
[ " I wanted to accompany you for a while, but now it's time to say goodbye. " ]
[ " Monitor, no ..." Kiana wanted to refuse, but Fu Hua interrupted her. ]
[ " Do you still remember the agreement we made in Arc City? You promised me that I will buy time for you. Now, leave here. " ]
[Fu Hua's voice was a little anxious, but his words were full of concern for Kiana. ]
[ " If you die here, your promise to change the world will become empty words. Do what you should do, this is your responsibility. " ]
[ " Monitor ...." ]
Kiana gritted her teeth hard, clenched her fists tightly, and the expression on her face was full of unwillingness and guilt.
[ " Understand ... I'm sorry ..." ]
The girl lowered her eyes, turned around and ran away, as if she couldn't bear to look back again, running faster and faster.
[ " Goodbye, Kiana. " ]
Fu Hua was a little pleased, but also whispered with some reluctance.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help showing unspeakable expressions.
Of course they wouldn't think that Kiana chose to run away because of fear.
She just didn't want to waste to what Fu Hua had done for her, and she didn't want to waste what Teacher Himeko's sacrifice for her, so she chose to run away.
Her life now is no longer just her own.
If it were Kiana who was the hot-blooded idiot from before, then no matter what Fu Hua said, she would definitely not run away.
But now Kiana has more things to consider and more responsibilities, so she can no longer make such willful choices.
This is growth.
