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

Theresa frowned at Himeko, who reeked of alcohol, and said, "Himeko, you should drink less alcohol, after all, it's not good for your health..."

"Alright, stop saying such discouraging things."

"Oh no, a knife!"

"Knowing there was a knife, why didn't you dodge? Because you weren't afraid! Why weren't you afraid? Because you simply weren't afraid!"

"I really don't believe it. Try making me cry again if you dare. Anyway, I heard that Walter wasn't the screenwriter for this movie."

It's an obvious hint; even a paramecium could see it.

"You old rascal, are you going to kill off Aunt Himeko?" Kiana scratched her head.

“It’s very likely,” Bronya agreed.

"Wait, if Aunt Himeko goes offline, will there be no one urging me to study in the story?" Kiana's eyes were full of wisdom.

"Kiana, what are you thinking about?!" Himeko, sitting in the row in front of them, turned her head like a robot, her neck bobbing and her eyes flashing red.

"Aunt Himeko, I was wrong!"

Ignoring Kiana's antics, everyone turned their attention back to the screen.

Late at night, Kiana, dressed in revealing clothes, lay on the soft bed once again. But the next second, she heard Mei calling her. When she opened her eyes, Mei, wearing Valkyrie armor, appeared in front of her.

What's most eye-catching is that Mei's pupils are golden, and her voice is exactly the same as Sirin's.

"Who are you?!" Kiana asked.

"I am the ghost of your past, the nightmare you cannot escape."

Kiana watched as Mei, Himeko, and Theresa appeared one by one. Their words were half true and half false, but they were extremely malicious and noteworthy. Their voices were all Sirin's.

Kiana couldn't believe that her closest person would say such a thing to her.

Sirin's voice continued to bewitch, promising that as long as one submitted to her, one could gain everyone's approval and become an S-rank Valkyrie... No, that power was too insignificant; she would grant her unimaginable power.

Shut up! You liar!

Soon, dawn broke.

"I could never say such a thing to Kiana." Even the gentle Raiden Mei was a little angry as she watched her own body say such vicious words to Kiana on the screen.

"Although I don't know my true thoughts in the story, I feel that my worries about Kiana, Mei, and Bronya in the story are genuine." Himeko shook her head, not believing that everything she did in the story was an act.

"I know that. Mei would never say something like that to me, and while Aunt Himeko is quite strict with me, she's definitely not spying on me." Kiana snuggled into Mei's arms and rubbed against her.

"Kiana..." Mei was a little shy, after all, this was a public place, completely different from being in the dormitory.

“Based on the timeline of the plot, Aunt Cecilia became pregnant in 1998, while Kiana’s birthday is December 7th. She stepped into the battlefield on February 15th, 2000, so there was at least a year to recuperate. In addition, considering her S-rank Valkyrie physique, it’s unlikely that Sirin’s claim that her combat power was reduced because of giving birth to Kiana is true,” Bronya speculated.

Sitting in the back row, Pado nudged Qianjie and whispered, "Brother Jie, they're watching so intently, why can't I deduce anything?"

"Hmph." Qianjie simply let out a cool snort.

Pado was disappointed; it seemed that talking to Qianjie was a mistake.

Chapter 72 Mei, I can't tell them apart!

The next day was the day of the Valkyrie exam. Kiana, who had changed into her white battle suit, looked terrible because she had been having nightmares for the past few nights.

The exam began, and Kiana unexpectedly defeated Bronya, even holding her own against Fu Hua, and then had a match with Rita, who came to inspect the Far East.

In the final stage of the exam, the Honkai Beast Simulation Synchronization Immersion Device experienced a systemic error in the trial program responsible for virtual combat, forcing Kiana to fight against Ganesha, an Emperor-class Honkai Beast that far exceeded the test standards.

After a tough battle, the exam came to a successful end. Kiana, feeling sore and weak all over, yawned and followed behind Mei and Bronya.

The screen flickered a few times, and Mei and Bronya disappeared. The surrounding scenery changed from the cozy Valkyrie Academy to a familiar-looking laboratory-like place—the interior of the Tower of Babel.

"Kiana is only a B-rank Valkyrie, yet she was able to defeat an Emperor-rank Honkai Beast! That's amazing!" Xiaokong exclaimed in surprise.

"I feel it's not as good as Kevin's entrance, Adam, what do you think?" Lyle nudged Adam with his elbow.

“I think they each have their own strengths. Kiana is only a B-rank Valkyrie, so she definitely can’t be compared to Uncle Kevin.” Adam maintained a neutral stance.

“Good children shouldn’t be praised while belittling others, Lyle.” Aponia gently stroked Lyle’s head.

Lyle froze.

"Cute little girl, you're really surprising. You even defeated Ganesha! ☆"

"You should know that this Honkai Beast, which appeared in India in 2012, killed two A-rank Valkyries and seriously injured 12 Valkyries..."

"I originally thought it would be an insurmountable obstacle for a B-rank Valkyrie like you?"

The somewhat playful voice from my dream echoed once again in this empty space.

"What a joke! Although my title is B-rank, I actually possess the strength of an S-rank Valkyrie." Kiana crossed her arms, disdainfully looking at the blurry figure.

"Hehe, you really like to boast. Although you're quite strong, you're still far from being an S-rank Valkyrie~☆"

The woman's playful voice dropped another bombshell: she had personally experienced the strength of an S-class Valkyrie fourteen years ago.

"14 years ago? You experienced it?" Having left Mei as her external brain, Kiana's mind began to work. Seizing the 14-year mark, she said, "Could it be... you are the Second Herrscher?"

Kiana couldn't understand why the Second Herrscher, who should have been eliminated 14 years ago, would appear in her dream.

"Oh my, even your slow reaction is so cute, it makes me want to eat you up in one bite~"

"Hmph, even if it's just a dream... Today, you won't leave here alive, you... the murderer who killed my mother!" Kiana angrily assumed a fighting stance.

"I have no intention of leaving here, because this place is both your dream and my dream. I am you, and you are me. The one who should leave... should be you, Kiana!"

"Shut up!"

The camera inexplicably pans to the control panel next to Kiana, where the screen clearly displays: Tower of Babel, Experiment Group Code SR-56455, Experiment Subject K-423.

"It's confirmed, it really is Her Majesty the Queen!"

"The Queen has returned, and a new Honkai is about to be born!"

"Seriously, does nobody care about what Her Majesty is saying? Why can't I understand a single word she's saying?"

"Who cares? As long as I know it's Her Majesty the Queen, that's enough."

……

"What the hell is that stinky Sirin saying?! What do you mean she's me, and I'm her? I am who I am, Kiana Kaslana!" Kiana couldn't understand what "Sirin" was saying, but she wouldn't allow anyone to speak for her.

"Kiana..." Mei wanted to say something, but she didn't speak again. Combining the post-credits scene from the previous movie with the explicit hints on the screen, Mei had already guessed what was going on.

From the back row, May, through Kevin and Ya Qing's seats, looked at Dr. Möbius, whose face was somewhat stiff, with a half-smile, and said, "Dr. Möbius..."

"Hmph, as long as the plot hasn't explicitly confirmed it, I haven't lost. Besides, we're talking about whether the Herrscher of the Void's core is inside Kiana, not whether Kiana and the Herrscher of the Void are related." Mebius remained stubborn.

Mei looked tenderly at the arrogant Mebius.

Kevin's mind suddenly went into overdrive. He had guarded against Alicia, but not against Mebius, because he knew Mebius was straight. But now... he had a feeling that his girlfriend wasn't straight anymore.

Kevin quickly stepped back, blocking May's view of Mebius.

Mei looked puzzled. She had just been thinking about how to dig another hole for Möbius, but suddenly her boyfriend blocked her view.

Kiana chased the blurry shadow all the way to the top of the Tower of Babel.

The screen suddenly went black.

Immediately afterwards, scarlet text appeared on the black screen.

"You think...this will be the last time we meet?"

"In the rest of my life, I will keep appearing in your deepest nightmares."

"Until one day, you are no longer able to... resist..."

The screen lit up again, and Kiana opened her eyes in a daze, seeing Mei, Fu Hua, and Theresa with concerned expressions, while Rita stood elegantly to the side and explained: "...The engine of this warship is really strange."

Rita bowed gracefully to everyone before preparing to leave and return to headquarters to report.

"Mei... I'm hungry!" Mei helped Kiana up, and Kiana's first reaction was to whine to Mei.

"Let's go back! I'll cook for you!" Mei chuckled, her tone full of doting affection.

This heartwarming scene didn't last long, as Rita's voice came from off-screen.

"Observation Record Report, No. 105-K423: Compared with the past, the observed subject has shown significant growth in physical fitness and combat ability, but the specific situation of personality recurrence still needs further observation."

Rita, who hadn't left, stood not far away watching Kiana and Mei's interaction.

"His Excellency the Bishop's plan is about to enter the feasible stage."

The camera zoomed in, and the gaze directed at Kiana turned sinister.

"Everything... is under his control."
