Honkai Impact 3rd: Starting with creating an anime version of Honkai Impact 3rd

Chapter 249 The Crying and Making a Scene: The Raven

Upon seeing the faint Herrscher energy still remaining within Mei's body, the audience became excited. Forgetting the quiet in the theater, they began to discuss it, unanimously believing that this was foreshadowing, and that Mei would definitely regain her Herrscher core and become the Herrscher of Thunder later in the movie.

"Great! If Mei becomes a Herrscher, she'll be able to protect Kiana," Alicia exclaimed happily.

Mebius shattered her illusions without hesitation.

"Even if you become a Herrscher, it's hard to defeat a sidekick in the story. And what's the difference between a Herrscher who gets knocked down by a baseball bat in the manga and the Herrscher of Wind?"

Mebius equated the Herrscher of Thunder with the Herrscher of Wind.

"Not necessarily." Mei had a different idea. "Let's put aside the Herrscher of Thunder's combat power for now and think about how Raiden Mei can become a Herrscher again. After all, the Herrscher's core is inside Kiana."

Kevin sensed that Mei was angry, so he chimed in, "It's bound to be another ordeal. Kiana and Raiden Mei will probably fight each other. Wasn't that in that video?"

Kevin knows the plot, but he can't talk about it.

Everyone remembered that lyric again.

Sinners are crowned because of their own stubbornness and prejudice.

This brings to mind the fight between Mei and Kiana.

Everyone looked at Ya Qing.

Yaqing was secretly eating Kevin's popcorn when she noticed that everyone's eyes were on her.

"It's covered."

That smile made you want to punch him.

Tesla and Mei search for Kiana's whereabouts in the city. Mei looks at the badly damaged building with a large hole in the wall and is lost in memories.

Recalling how she, Kiana, and Bronya encountered Himeko when they escaped Changkong City, and how Himeko did everything for them, advising them without regard for her identity as a Herrscher, believing that she could become a warrior who controlled her powers.

The flashback didn't appear on screen, so Himeko didn't appear on the screen either, but the audience still felt as if they were seeing the content of the manga on the big screen.

Mei's forlorn expression.

So much has happened in those four months.

The teacher's death, the separation from her best friend, and the two people who liked each other, Kiana chose to leave because she didn't want to hurt the other.

Mei felt that she had experienced too much in the story, and if she had to go through it all herself, she would probably break down.

"Ugh."

Kiana and Himeko both sighed.

Kiana is heartbroken over Himeko's final lesson.

Himeko was annoyed because after the movie ended, the graduating students he had called would call her one by one to cry and complain, thus delaying her drinking time.

Continuing their search in Changkong City, Tesla unexpectedly discovered an anti-entropy guiding robot. Although puzzled, they didn't have time to investigate further. They rebuilt the machine, but once again, only Mei was the only red dot.

Tesla disappointedly shut down the Herrscher energy filter, but saw a dense array of red dots on the screen that didn't look like Honkai Beasts or zombies, but rather like humanoid traces.

Unable to comprehend that humans still lived in this city, the two immediately decided to head towards the red dot.

On their way to the red dot marker, they unexpectedly found an unconscious child. For the child's safety, they decided to take the child back to the ship first.

"It's me!" Kong excitedly patted Adam's Lyle. "Mom Aponia, look, I'm really on the big screen!"

"Yes, I'm happy for you, Sora." Aponia gently stroked Sora's head, smoothing her light purple hair.

Adam and Lyle looked pained.

Lyle couldn't hold back any longer: "Big sister, if you're going to get excited, can't you slap your own thigh?"

Although Adam did not speak, he nodded vigorously.

"Mother Raven".

"I saw it, Xiao Kong, and I'm happy for you too." Raven was genuinely happy for Xiao Kong, but she wouldn't think that way for long.

"Why is the eldest sister so young when she appears on the modeling stage?"

"It's necessary for the plot."

After Xiao Kong woke up, Tesla learned from her that she was a refugee from Chang Kong City. After the Third Collapse, she and a dozen children lived in the ruins of Chang Kong City for three years.

This left Mei in disbelief.

They live in a place called "Nest," where there is a female leader whom they call "Teacher," who brings them supplies every one or two months.

In order to investigate Kiana's whereabouts, Mei and Tesla decide to take Sora back together.

"Xiao Kong's teacher?"

All eyes turned to Aponia, given that Aponia was a child from the Aponia Sanatorium.

I don't know why they're called "teacher" instead of "dean".

"This can't possibly be the boss!"

Lyle stared in disbelief at the weak and frail little Kong on the screen, naively believing that the robot had died, and burst into tears.

Xiao Kong, who had entered puberty, already had a gloomy expression on his face.

Lyle suddenly felt a terrifying sensation, like a tiger descending a mountain, and shivered.

They shrank behind Adam.

With Xiao Kong leading the way, Mei and Tesla quickly arrived at the Nest's settlement, which, like Kowloon Walled City, was built on the foundation of a large building and continued to expand upwards.

A building like this couldn't possibly be built by just a few children, so Mei asked Sora about the teacher, and Sora only said that the teacher was a young and beautiful woman.

Moreover, the teacher was supposed to come back yesterday. It was because she was looking for the teacher that she accidentally walked out of the safe zone, was chased by the Honkai Beast, and fell down the building and lost consciousness. Xiao Kong is curious why Mei is looking for the teacher.

Mei tells Sora that she came to Changkong City to find a friend. After omitting the details about the Herrscher, she asks Sora if she has seen him.

Xiao Kong shook her head and suggested they ask the other children.

A strange sense of familiarity washed over me.

Viewers watching the movie felt like they were watching Cocolia's Orphanage. Although Cocolia wasn't young, she was undeniably beautiful, and who was young in the eyes of the children?

Then it occurred to them that Cocolia seemed to be imprisoned, which was why their teacher hadn't returned, and this made sense. Many viewers speculated that Cocolia was the cause.

But inside the screening room.

The people in the Golden Courtyard made completely different guesses from the other audience members.

"Could it really be Aponia?"

Sakura suddenly said that this was also what they were thinking.

Aponia shook her head.

"I did not participate in the voice acting."

The precocious little Ling said, "Oh dear, Brother Yaqing has a device that can simulate a human voice. What if it's just for simulating Aunt Aponia's voice?"

“Yeah, yeah!” Lyle excitedly chimed in.

Xiao Kong opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

The raven saw it all and felt a pang of pain in its heart.

Everyone was speculating about Aponia and Cocolia, but no one guessed it was her, which meant that no one thought she was a young and beautiful woman.

The raven appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly it was filled with unbearable sorrow.

Mei asked many children, but most of them said they had never seen him, until one child said he had seen him and that he saw the person Mei described heading towards the West District.

Mei went downstairs and saw Tesla maneuvering Hephaestus to repair the outermost guardrail. Several children were excitedly pointing and calling it Alahato.

One of the children was even a die-hard fan and could recite the lines from memory.

“You don’t need to take this to a philosophical level—today, I’m just going to remove some stumbling blocks.”

"The scene where Emperor Taixu takes down the main characters one by one is so cool! I've watched it dozens of times!"

Upon hearing this, Tesla's forehead veins bulged.

"Don't watch that kind of scene over and over again!"

“This child…” Theresa didn’t know how to describe the child, because the famous line she was referring to was the one Otto said when he was slaughtering Joyce’s side one by one in the web series.

In other words, this child is a huge fan of Otto.

"It's promising. No wonder Dr. Tesla couldn't stand it anymore." Himeko laughed. "Originally, we wanted to use the animation to expose Otto's actions to the public, but we didn't expect it to attract a wave of fans. Who can stand that?"

"So this is what Aharato is like? I used to love watching it when I was little." Kiana then realized that the good and evil represented in the anime were Destiny and Entropy Reversal.

"Aharato may not be based on this prototype, but the Honkai series will definitely be based on this prototype."

"I don't understand." Kiana shook her head.

Having received news of Kiana, Mei, anxious, wanted to go immediately, but Tesla persuaded her to stop because it was getting late. After calming down, Mei decided to go ahead and scout the way.

Xiao Kong volunteered to lead the way.
