To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Now, the world has given her another chance, and she sees hope here.

Unlike the flickering lights Cocolia provided, which weren't meant to satisfy Cocolia's own ambitions or incidentally rescue Seele from the Herrscher experiment,

She saw the light.

So no matter what, no matter the cost, I will definitely rescue Seele!

For the first time, Bronya was filled with hope, staring intently at Luo Mo, her gray eyes unblinking, feeling a long-lost sense of tension for the first time.

“Seele… Bronya, I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush,” Luo Mo scratched his head in slight distress.

He certainly liked Seele and wanted to rescue her, but he hoped to postpone it a little longer. It couldn't be now. Affecting the development of the real plot was a minor matter. The most important thing was that rescuing Seele meant releasing Kevin, and he had something else he had to do before Kevin.

"Let's finish up the company business first. You can stay behind alone for a while today, and I promise I'll give you a satisfactory answer, okay?"

"..." Bronya simply nodded silently, seemingly still immersed in sweet memories of the past. Although she was somewhat unhappy, she couldn't do anything in front of so many people.

Kiana wanted to interrupt, but Mei stopped her and shook her head. Although she didn't understand, she excitedly leaned close to Mei's ear and whispered something.

Luo Mo was so focused on Bronya's matter that he didn't hear what they were saying.

As soon as they saw Bronya and Lomo finish their conversation, they walked over together.

They were clearly very curious about the video they had just seen.

But they had never seen Bronya so anxious.

“That Seele, she’s someone very important to Bronya, isn’t she?” Mei said to Bronya, who had recovered from her shock.

"Yes, Seele is the most important person to Bronya. Bronya would do anything for her."

Bronya insisted, her face showing a look of reminiscence, and her lips even twitched slightly, giving the impression of a smile.

After speaking, she glanced at Luo Mo, as if warning him, yet also pleading.

Kiana didn't get involved at this moment. Mei was enough to comfort Bronya, and she didn't intend to comfort her. After all, she and Bronya were 'arch-enemies'.

She rushed over, grabbed Luo Mo's sleeve with her left hand, and used her right hand to manipulate the mouse to search for the scene where the Herrscher of Fire confronted the rabble.

"Boss, that Kiana in there is so cool! Can I really transform into that form?" She made a big hand gesture as she said this, showing her admiration for the Herrscher of Fire.

She didn't like Kiana with the gold eyes and long dress, even though she was also very cool and had a great presence!

But Kiana always believed that a true member of the Kaslana family should be like the one in the picture, wearing armor and a cloak, with a broken sword in her hand representing her fight for the world to the very last moment, like a warrior!

Yes, one should act like a warrior, not a queen who looks down on everyone and is inexplicably high above.

A gorgeous long dress is not as good as a burning greatsword; being flashy and impractical is not the tradition of the Kaslana family.

Kiana's eyes are even brighter, and she looks so cool with her high ponytail!

She made up her mind; she would definitely ask her aunt or her mother to make her a set of clothes like this.

And Mei will definitely like it too!

Luo Mo simply smiled and said, "Of course, it was originally based on Kiana, just with some modifications."

"Just a little? Bronya sees absolutely no hope that the idiot could become like that."

With Mei's comfort, Bronya recovered and began to mock Kiana.

"It's exactly my image! Those determined eyes, the white hair..." Kiana's voice trailed off; she couldn't quite find any resemblance anymore.

"In short, the Kaslana family will definitely become such a warrior!"

Bronya looked Kiana up and down carefully, then looked at the Herrscher of Fire in the video, and shook her head in disappointment.

it is more than words!

"What?! You little rascal, just you wait and see, I'll definitely become that kind of person someday!"

Kiana was indignant; why couldn't she be a hero?

Perhaps this was their unique way of comforting each other, Luo Mo watched quietly.

The way they argue is really awkward!

Mei walked over, somewhat awkwardly. She held her hands in front of her waist and abdomen, her fingers intertwined and curling, her movements hesitant, unsure whether she should speak.

Chapter 20 The Truth About the Thunder Queen?

Mei took a deep breath and asked, "You...know her? Right, the person in the video who looks like me?"

"Know!"

“She’s dangerous,” Mei said carefully, though she didn’t want to be too blunt, even though the people who made this game should know about her Herrscher status.

“Dangerous?” Luo Mo pondered the word, then smiled. “Well then, Ms. Mei, please allow me to address her that way for now. You say she’s dangerous, so, has she ever hurt you?”

"Hurted...me?"

Mu Ran, Mei recalled the tragic scene that had occurred in Changkong City.

In that instant, so many people lost their lives, transformed into mindless, rigid zombies. Giant, purple-white monsters appeared out of nowhere, wielding sharp claws and possessing hard bodies. Humanity's weapons were like mere tickles, utterly powerless to resist.

All of this gradually compressed the remaining space of the survivors, destroying skyscrapers and turning them into ruins, and the civilization creations that humanity was so proud of were brutally invaded by something called the Collapse.

Wherever it passed, not a blade of grass grew.

She desperately wanted to shout back, to tell the man in front of her that she had hurt herself a lot, hurt others a lot, and hurt... Kiana even more!

But when she remembered why she had appeared, she fell silent again.

After her father was exposed for large-scale bribery at ME Company, she was arrested before she even had a chance to see him.

At school, after learning the news, her classmates no longer echoed her as before. Not only that, they started to slander her and subject her to emotional abuse.

Several of her close friends led the bullying of her at school.

The person who hurt her the most was precisely the one she was once closest to. The world is so chaotic and uncertain.

In fact, she had studied kendo. She could have retaliated then and used force to reclaim her status as the Thunder Queen. At the very least, she could have taught them a lesson so they wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

But she didn't; she simply ignored it, thinking that this would make things better.

The situation is obvious and has worsened.

Why did she ignore it back then? Mei felt a little dazed.

Oh, right, at that time she felt that there was no one in the world she could trust anymore. Her father was arrested, her friends betrayed her, and everything beautiful that made up her life collapsed.

For the first time, she felt her own weakness and the fragility of beautiful things, all of which were so... so vulnerable.

Since there's no one I care about anymore, this world doesn't seem so important anymore.

At that moment, 'she' appeared, and her first words were—'Coward, stop crying.'

Then he wanted to kill those few blind fools.

She arrived, somewhat violently; the two were not on the same wavelength.

She always talks about destroying the world, and I always disagree, constantly trying to persuade her, gently rejecting her, and striving to resist her.

But actually, she was secretly pleased at first, because finally someone could communicate with her normally, even if... it was just in her imagination, even if... she wanted to hurt everyone around her.

The two of them are always arguing in their minds, and the outside world is always giving them the silent treatment.

She only has one friend, "her," and so does "she," even if neither of them thinks so.

Finally, the conflict erupted in an instant, another instance of school bullying. Dirty water, a foul stench, messy pens, tattered books, and vicious handwriting on the desk were unbearable to look at, along with... her helplessness.

Her classmates around her were talking amongst themselves, pointing at her and laughing.

The thought of the other woman in her mind, which she had been struggling to suppress, was shattered. There was no special reason, no unexpected situation; she just suddenly felt tired and...

Giving up doesn't seem like a bad idea?

This world is better off destroyed!

Then, 'she emerged,' transforming into thunder, causing strange phenomena in the heavens and earth. The entire sky was covered by thunderclouds, and Honkai energy surged everywhere like a tide, turning the classmates into ashes in an instant.

Wield the Gem of Conquest and be crowned Queen of Thunder!

She felt neither sadness nor joy, only tranquility, her heart ashen, before surrendering her body to 'her'.

She seemed somewhat taken aback, chuckled, stepped past the stunned woman standing there, and took control of the body.

Perhaps 'she' even called herself a coward, but that didn't matter anymore.

She simply lay in the darkness and let out a soft sigh.

......

Then, a white-haired girl appeared and defeated 'her'.

But actually, she was also fighting against 'her' inside her body at that time, because she vaguely remembered that the girl with braided pigtails had never looked down on her. She always smiled at her, so gently and warmly.

In the final moments of her battle in reality, she fell off the rooftop.

Will I die? Mei wondered. With her health, she probably wouldn't. But ending it here wouldn't be so bad.

She gave up, closed her eyes tightly, and let her body fall away.

A chaotic life, a tragic life, a life of betrayal, has come to an end.

That's how it should be. That's how things should be.

But a hand reached out to her. In the sunlight, as she fell, the heat was so warm, the smile so dazzling. She couldn't help but feel longing, so she reached out her hand and grasped it tightly.

Kiana made her realize that the world wasn't all darkness, so she longed for light once more.

She just chuckled and didn't respond.

She returned to the light, while 'she' stepped into the darkness.

So, did 'she' hurt herself? Mei asked herself.

No? No!

He was simply escaping the problem and blaming 'her' for the disaster and causes of the Third Collapse.

It's as if they are completely innocent and it has nothing to do with them.

Mei gave a sad smile. "So...so that's how it is? Boss...I...I need some peace and quiet. I'll go back now."

As he spoke, he ran straight toward St. Freya.
