My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Einstein looked at the information on the tablet in her hand and nodded to Siegfried. She had thought it would take a lot of persuasion to get Otto to agree to stay with Siegfried, but Otto agreed almost instantly, which surprised Einstein.

"I'm sorry to ask you to stay at this time."

"After all, we collected these soul steels, so I have an obligation to unlock their secrets. And don't worry, my wife is very strong."

Siegfried flashed a healthy smile, and Einstein, infected by his optimism, smiled back.

"By the way, how is Walter doing now?"

"His injuries have almost healed, but he still needs to rest."

Einstein held a pair of glasses-like devices in his hand, had Siegfried put them on, and after adjusting them, explained to Siegfried what he was going to do next.

“Mr. Siegfried, your brain will now connect to the database of these Soul Steels, and you will see some illusions. But those are just data, so don’t get caught up in them.”

Einstein activated the device, and the Soul Steel's database first confirmed Siegfried's identity, then transmitted a data image into Siegfried's consciousness.

"Am I... back on the moon?"

Looking at the potholes under his feet, Siegfried couldn't help but marvel at how realistic the data simulation was.

Just as he was looking around, a figure formed from data appeared in front of him, holding the Kaslana family's ancestral weapon—the Judgment of Heavenly Fire.

"who's that person?"

Eight more people appeared around Kevin, all nine of them looking in the same direction. Siegfried could sense that each of them was quite powerful.

“Mr. Siegfried, what you are witnessing now is the last battle of the previous civilization era.”

"Dr. Einstein, is that you speaking?"

“It is I, Mr. Siegfried. The nine who participated in this battle are the strongest warriors left of humanity. One of them appears to be an ancestor of your Kaslana family.”

"And their opponent is the Herrscher of the End, who is said to be the most powerful Herrscher in history."

Siegfried looked up at the enormous figure in the sky, completely unable to comprehend how brutal the battle had been. The mere presence of the Herrscher of the End was enough to suffocate him with its oppressive aura.

He saw that just five minutes into the match, a warrior was severely injured and collapsed on the ground. It was the black-haired warrior who came to the rescue in time, otherwise the Herrscher of the End would have taken the first kill.

In this brief period of time, Siegfried witnessed the nine warriors gradually dwindling in number. Although the Moon Throne could inflict damage on the Herrscher of the End, the effect was extremely minimal.

In the end, thanks to the overloaded Moon Throne and the combined efforts of Kevin and the others, the Herrscher of the End's energy was successfully reduced to fifty percent, but this only stopped her activity for thirty-six hours.

The recording ended here. Siegfried looked sadly at the fallen Dust and Möbius who was holding him. Although he didn't know either of them, he truly felt the sadness.

Several of these people were on a completely different level from him, even Cecilia was far superior. They all suffered crushing defeats against the Herrscher of the End, and Siegfried had no idea how to deal with Him.

"Mr. Siegfried, thank you for your help. The data for the Moon Throne has been completely downloaded. I will now disconnect you from the Soulsteel database."

"Thank you, Dr. Einstein. But, is the Moon Throne truly useful? Herrscher of the End..."

Siegfried's tone was dejected; clearly, the video had upset him.

“Mr. Siegfried, there’s no need to worry. First of all, we are not facing the Herrscher of the End. Secondly, we have plenty of time to study and improve the Moon Throne.”

"That's true. By the way, Doctor, could you please play the recording again? There are some things I'd like to clarify."

Einstein replayed the video, and the moment Kevin appeared, Siegfried shouted "Pause!"

"This white-haired man... and the Heavenly Fire Judgment in his hand. Who exactly is he? Why do I keep feeling like he's calling me?"

"And why is it that he can use Heavenly Fire without any injury, without even a single burn?"

Siegfried moved closer to check, reaching out to Kevin's shoulder, whereupon Kevin grabbed his wrist.

"You've finally found me, my descendant."

"what?"

Siegfried was startled and tried to break free from Kevin's grasp, but his hands seemed to be stuck and he couldn't break free no matter what he did.

"Now that you have appeared here, it means that the battle between humanity and the Honkai has begun once again."

Kevin released Siegfried, and Skyfire was planted in front of him on his right, which Kevin held with one hand.

"How is this going?"

Siegfried retreated, feeling the heat wave from the heavenly fire, which was much stronger than when he used it himself.

"Now, I will tell you the secret of the power of Kaslana."

Kevin picked up Skyfire with one hand and raised his arm so that the tip of Skyfire was pointing at Siegfried.

"what?"

Siegfried didn't understand Kevin's words, but Kevin didn't give him any time to react. He switched from holding the sword with one hand to two and stabbed it towards Siegfried's heart.

"As long as you master the Honkai Beast power hidden within Kaslana's genes, you can surpass the limits of humanity and even transcend the Herrschers."

"And then, you must remember this. Those who bear the name of Kaslana must defeat the Honkai no matter what."

Kevin pushed the entire Heavenly Fire into Siegfried's body. Siegfried was shocked, and something inside his body seemed to become active. He did not hear Kevin's last words at all.

"How is this going?"

Einstein noticed that Siegfried's brainwaves were becoming disordered, so he went to his side to remove the device.

The device shattered, and this sudden change startled Einstein, causing him to stumble backward and fall in front of the instrument table.

Siegfried stood up from his chair, veins bulging on his forehead. He felt as if something inside his body had been activated, and his eyes underwent a strange change, becoming somewhat similar to those of a Honkai Beast.

Siegfried punched the chair next to him hard, and a layer of frost immediately formed on the chair, eventually turning into an icicle.

Siegfried passed out after delivering the punch, while Einstein stood up, leaning on the table and rubbing his wrist.

"Hey, you messy-haired guy, over here..."

Tesla barged into the lab and, seeing such a large block of ice, thought he had gone to the wrong place.

"Holy crap! You messy-haired guy, what are you doing?"

"I didn't do this."

Einstein pointed to Siegfried lying on the ground and explained everything that had just happened to Tesla.

"This barbarian knows this trick?"

Tesla expressed skepticism, but the fact that it came from Einstein gave it credibility, which made Tesla extremely curious about how Siegfried had managed it.

"Einstein, what happened here?"

Walter also entered the laboratory; he had sensed the Honkai energy reaction and rushed over in a hurry.

"Joachim, you're still not fully recovered, why did you come all this way?"

Tesla, with a dark expression, scolded Walter, but seeing that he had almost recovered, he didn't send him back.

Einstein explained it to Walter again, and Walter raised an eyebrow, looking at the block of ice and then at Siegfried lying on the ground.

"Let's get Siegfried up first."

Chapter 230 The Price of Power

"So, I did this?"

Siegfried tapped the ice in front of him, unable to believe that he was the one who had caused it.

"What exactly happened in that instant?"

Siegfried looked at his palm, recalling the sword Kevin had stabbed him with, but he didn't hear Einstein calling him.

"Siegfried, what are you thinking about?"

Siegfried didn't snap out of his reverie until Walter placed his hand on Siegfried's shoulder and nodded to Walter.

"Sorry, I got lost in thought."

"Drink some."

Walter handed the coffee that Einstein had poured to Siegfried, who took it, thanked him, and drank it all in one gulp.

“I analyzed the monitoring data from earlier, Mr. Siegfried. At that time, there was an energy reaction of Honkai Beasts in your body. It seems that these ice blocks are the power of Honkai Beasts.”

"The Judgment of Heavenly Fire in your hand, when fully unleashed, will burn the user to ashes. And according to legend, Kaslana's ancestors possessed the power to withstand the Judgment of Heavenly Fire."

"Combining everything that just happened, the key is the power of the Honkai Beast. However, this power only lasted for a few seconds in your body. So I have a theory that your Kaslana family's ancestors possessed Honkai Beast genes, which became inactive after hundreds of generations."

"Is that so? But in order to defeat the Second Herrscher, I must completely control this power."

Siegfried tossed aside the empty cup in his hand, a resolute look in his eyes.

"Let's put that aside for now, Mr. Siegfried. What did you think of the coffee earlier?"

"Coffee? Come to think of it, I can't taste it, and the cup seems a bit cold. Wait, why is the cup cold?"

"It seems right."

Walter's words stunned Siegfried. Had they discovered something while he was unconscious?

"The power of the Honkai Beast within you suppressed your nerves when it erupted. For a long time, your body temperature will be low, and you will have no sense of touch."

Einstein took out a small box, opened it, and pulled out a small test tube.

"Within the ruins of a pre-civilization discovered by Anti-Entropy, there are records of implanting Honkai Beast genes into human bodies to create Fusion Warriors. Those Honkai Beast genes are known as Hypermutation Factors."

"This is an activator of the hypermutant factor, which can better stimulate the Honkai Beast genes in your body. Unfortunately, both the activator and the hypermutant factor are far beyond the technological range of Anti-Entropy. Therefore, we have not been able to replicate this feat to this day."

Einstein showed the activator to Siegfried, who thanked him for it, determined to control this power no matter what.
