Don't shoot, I'm just a Honkai Impact 3rd content creator!

Kiana thought to herself, "Sirin's consciousness was just suppressed by Fu Hua not long ago. If it were now, I should be able to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to get out of here..."

But just as Kiana made a move, a voice rang out beside her.

"What you need right now is to get some rest."

Kiana: !!!

"When?"

Kiana was startled when Durandal appeared before her without her noticing. He had gotten right in front of her before she could even react—was this the power of Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie?

Kiana stared intently into Durandal's jewel-like blue eyes, feeling his sharp gaze, and for the first time, she had a concrete understanding of the title "strongest".

“This basement is located a thousand meters below the surface. In your current state, there is no way you can escape.”

If it were the real Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, a mere kilometer would be a piece of cake; but the problem is that the one manipulating the power is Kiana, and Kiana is in extremely poor condition.

Yulandel didn't believe the other side could open a spatial passage to the ground under these circumstances; the more likely scenario was that they would teleport him directly into the earth's crust and crush him to death.

So, for the sake of the safety of the experimental materials that Bishop Otto specifically requested be protected, Durandal kindly gave a reminder.

Of course, Kiana saw this good intention more as a warning.

Kiana stared at Durandal, her mind filled with confusion.

She clearly didn't make any suspicious moves. The Herrscher of the Void's power was mobilized using the core within her body. How did Durandal discover her and come to her side so quickly?

Does this woman have mind-reading abilities?

Durandal looked at Kiana, whose face was full of confusion, and explained.

"Don't be surprised, your thoughts are written all over your face, it's easy to tell."

Kiana: (＃°Д°)

This woman can read minds!

Yulandale: ......

Durandal is actually quite strange; she doesn't possess this skill against anyone else. Only when facing Kiana does Durandal feel as if she can easily guess Kiana's thoughts.

It's like, telepathy?

Durandal shook his head, not wanting to think about these things anymore.

Meanwhile, realizing that she couldn't hide her true thoughts from Durandal and had no way to escape for the time being, Kiana simply buried her head in the blankets and refused to speak to Durandal anymore.

The child's sulky behavior left Durandal both amused and exasperated.

Oh well, as long as Kiana doesn't run away, let her do whatever she wants!

Durandal went outside and chose a suitable angle that would keep Kiana in her sight but prevent her from hearing what she was about to say.

Because next, she should inform the Schicksal leadership, her superior, Archbishop Otto, of Kiana's awakening!

Chapter 88 Kiana VS Durandal

"Bishop, she has woken up."

The communication was established exceptionally quickly, clearly indicating that Otto had been waiting for Durandal to report on Kiana's situation.

"It's strange. According to the tests, she used the power of the Herrscher several times in a row, but the amount of Honkai energy in her body did not decrease but increased rapidly."

This strange phenomenon puzzled all the doctors who examined Kiana and Durandal, so Durandal specifically reported it to Otto.

However, Otto was not surprised by this situation, and he explained it to Durandal.

"According to satellite reconnaissance of the sky above Sky Dome City, the Honkai energy generated by the explosion of the engine bomb did not spread out, but disappeared without a trace."

"It's obvious that the Herrscher of the Void absorbed that energy, and she is growing just as I expected."

Otto smiled, clearly very satisfied with the current situation; everything was progressing according to his plan.

Durandal glanced at Kiana with slight surprise.

As expected of a Herrscher, she absorbed the Honkai energy, enough to bring a major city to the brink of collapse, so easily? Her resistance to Honkai energy is truly astonishing!

Of course, when she was thinking about these things, Durandal clearly neglected herself.

In a sense, Durandal is the real monster with terrifyingly strong Honkai energy resistance!

In the communication, Otto continued.

"Back to the main topic, now that she's awake, there's no need to wait any longer. Let's begin the experiment."

Yulandel: ? ? ?

"Starting now? Isn't that a bit too hasty? She still harbors considerable hostility towards destiny."

From that brief encounter, Durandal sensed only one thing from Kiana.

Be on guard, be on guard, and be on guard again!

In this state, is it possible to involve Kiana in the experiment without causing a mishap and giving the other side an opportunity to sabotage or escape?

Otto shook his head. His plan was urgent. He had been waiting for almost five hundred years, and he didn't want to wait a moment longer!

Otto didn't care what Kiana thought; as long as the final result was what he wanted, that was all that mattered.

“I don’t think there’s any way to dispel her hostility toward destiny after what’s happened. On the contrary, in my opinion, she may have a better chance to show the power I want to see in the current state.”

Yulandale: ......

Otto's words made perfect sense, and Durandal was speechless for a moment.

Considering what Otto did to Kiana, even from an outsider's perspective, Durandal felt it was extremely excessive; and if he were in Kiana's shoes, Durandal felt he might have already rushed to Schicksal headquarters with the Black Abyss White Flower and wreaked havoc!

Under these circumstances, it seems unlikely that Kiana's hostility towards Schicksal will change.

"Let's start the experiment. I trust you can handle it, in your usual way."

Yulandale: ......

Since Otto had said so, Durandal didn't insist any further and nodded in agreement.

After ending her communication with Otto, Durandal returned to Kiana's side.

"I'm sorry, but there might not be time for you to rest any longer. Come with me now."

Kiana: ...

You bastard, you broke your promise!

......

Although Kiana really wanted to complain about Durandal telling her to rest well one minute and then breaking his promise to drag her out of bed the next, there was nothing she could do. Circumstances forced her to comply, and Kiana had no choice but to do as Durandal instructed.

Moreover, compared to staying in this room a thousand meters underground, Kiana felt that perhaps going to other places would offer a better chance of escaping.

In fact, Kiana did just that.

On the way from leaving the room to Durandal taking her to their destination, Kiana repeatedly tried to escape using the Herrscher of the Void's abilities, but without exception, Durandal easily thwarted her.

Durandal's perception of Honkai energy was far more acute than Kiana could have imagined, almost surpassing anything Kiana knew of. Even Sirin Kiana felt that Durandal was far inferior in this respect.

Kiana couldn't help but think as she looked at the golden hair fluttering not far in front of her.

Is this guy even human?

However, no matter how terrifying Durandal is, and no matter how many times she fails, Kiana will not give up on her escape attempt.

When Durandal brought Kiana to their destination, Kiana activated the Herrscher of the Void's abilities once again. Now that the two had left the underground and returned to the surface, Kiana was confident that this time they would succeed.

But ideals are beautiful, while reality is harsh.

Kiana gathered the last of her power, and this energy converged in an invisible dimension, tearing space apart like a blank sheet of paper.

This is precisely the power of the Herrscher of the Void!

However, just as Kiana was about to leave through the opened wormhole, a lance came flying through the air and pierced the ground beneath Kiana's feet at an extremely fast speed.

This action also interrupted Kiana's manipulation of her powers, and the spatial rift closed as a result.

Kiana stared intently at Durandal, without saying a word.

Kiana knew that Durandal had already held back.

Otherwise, the lance would have hit her body instead of the ground beneath her feet!

Durandal seemed to be getting annoyed by Kiana's constant attempts to escape, so she simply released Kiana from her restraints and said...

"If you want to leave so badly, then don't do it in such a sneaky way."

"Come on, defeat me like a warrior, and then leave with honor!"

Kiana: ...

"...It seems there's no way to get around you. In that case, so be it."

Kiana brandished her twin pistols, unleashing the Kaslana Gunfight Technique, and charged straight at Durandal. Durandal, however, remained expressionless, as calm and collected as ever, seemingly unconcerned about Kiana's attack.

Durandal only began to dodge "late" when Kiana's attack was almost upon her, but even so, Kiana never managed to touch Durandal once.

The gap between the two sides was almost a visible chasm, and even the fans in the live chat were worried about Kiana.

"Oh no, Kiana is no match for Durandal!"
