Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Let's go back to the time when Kiana and the others had just parted ways.

“I choose to resurrect her. I feel that the story of Bellars should not end here, so please.”

"...Understood, then let's do it that way."

The next moment, Bellars, who had been staring blankly, began to brighten up, and she nuzzled Kiana affectionately, letting out a happy whimper.

“I have fulfilled your request. Her consciousness has been restored, and her body is no longer a physical form created by the rift, but a real physical body. I also helped her with some upgrades.”

Before Kiana could ask anything, Bellars' body emitted a soft white light.

Then Bellarus's body began to shrink and change into a human form. After a while, what stood in front of Kiana was no longer the appearance of a dragon, but Bellarus in human form.

"Are you Your Majesty?"

Bella looked at Kiana with some confusion and asked, in her mind her queen should be a girl with purple hair and golden eyes.

Rather than the woman with long silver hair and azure eyes standing before him.

But in her perception, the woman before her truly exuded the aura of her queen.

“It’s me, Bella,” Kiana replied softly. “The specific reasons are too complicated to explain, so let me tell you using my power of consciousness.”

After receiving the memories from Kiana, Bella finally understood the origin of the person in front of her.

"So that's how it is. You are a manifestation of Her Majesty the Queen's will after her death, while I had long since lost consciousness and even died completely. The reason I am here is because you asked another being to revive me."

Kiana nervously fidgeted with her fingers and asked, "Will you...accept me?"

Bella looked at the anxious Kiana in front of her and felt a strange emotion rising in her heart. Her nose also began to feel hot and unbearably itchy for no reason.

"Of course... no matter what, you are a product of Her Majesty the Queen's will, and naturally you are the Queen I acknowledge!"

For some reason, Bella's voice trembled, and her cheeks inexplicably turned red. She crossed her arms, but her fingers kept hitting her shoulders.

Unfortunately, Kiana didn't notice Bella's unusual behavior. Upon hearing Bella's reply, Kiana instantly broke into a bright smile.

Bella finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and with a "plop," blood started flowing uncontrollably from her nose.

"Bella! Why is your nose bleeding! Quick, stop it!"

Hearing Kiana's caring words, Bella could no longer contain her emotions, and her nose started bleeding profusely, causing her to lose consciousness.

Fortunately, Bella was a Honkai Beast after all, and her human form was just a mimicry. She woke up soon after.

Bella looked at Kiana's face above her and instantly realized that she was currently resting her head on Kiana's lap.

Bella felt dizzy, and her nose started to itch again. It seemed that the Queen was being a little too enthusiastic towards her. If this continued, she feared she would eventually bleed to death from excessive loyalty.

Realizing this, Bella immediately stood up, covered her nose with her left hand, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm alright now. By the way, what are we going to do next?"

"Next, we should probably resolve the crisis on this planet completely. Also, could you please stop calling me 'Your Majesty'? To be honest, it's a little embarrassing. (? ???w??? ?)?"

"But Your Majesty is Your Majesty! If I don't call you Your Majesty, then what should I call you?"

Kiana's heart skipped a beat when she saw Bella tilting her head and looking at her with an innocent expression. To be honest, she was somewhat charmed by Bella's appearance.

"Call me whatever you want, just not Her Majesty the Queen."

"Understood, is this alright, Lady Kiana?"

"Kiana... my lady, it would be best not to add 'my lady' to that."

"But a lady is a lady! As the one who governs us Honkai Beasts, she is naturally supreme, not to mention that Lady Kiana is currently the strongest Herrscher—the Herrscher of the End."

Kiana realized she couldn't get Bella to stop calling her "adult," and sighed helplessly, "Fine, 'adult' it is! Judging by the time, they should be finishing up soon too."

Suddenly Kiana sensed the presence of the Imaginary God's remains. "Oh no! Bella, we have to go!"

"Is it because of that aura?"

"That's right! Imaginary Divine Remains - Nihilism, you also died at its hands back then. Dan Heng and the others alone could not defeat Nihilism, which can manipulate time!"

"Lady Kiana, I hope that I will be the one to defeat nihilism in the future."

As they were talking, Bella transformed back into the form of the dragon Bellarus, and Kiana jumped onto its back without thinking.

"Is it to avenge what happened back then? But..."

"Don't worry!" Bella's voice echoed in Kiana's mind. "Her upgrade to me wasn't just about allowing me to transform into a human at any time. My strength has also been greatly enhanced, and even the four crystals containing my core are no longer distributed in the real world, but in a special imaginary space. As long as the other party can't find a way to enter, I won't die."

Kiana sensed the imaginary space around her and discovered that, as Bella had said, there were indeed four extremely special imaginary spaces near her. Even Kiana herself would have to put in some effort to open these four imaginary spaces, let alone the Imaginary God Nihilism, who only possessed a partial ability to manipulate time.

Moreover, Kiana could sense that Bella's imaginary energy beneath her feet had reached the level of the former false god Otto. Combined with Bella's own abilities, she could probably easily defeat even if all three imaginary god corpses attacked her together!

Having figured this out, Kiana felt at ease letting her deal with nihilism.

Time returns to the present.

"I never expected you could control this demonic dragon. It seems that choosing to use it to hold you back was a mistake!"

Kiana was clad in white armor, her cloak billowing in flames and billowing in the wind. Her long silver hair was tied up in a high ponytail. The blazing greatsword in her hand radiated intense heat right up to Cocolia's face, and one could vaguely see the air around the greatsword distorted by the intense heat.

"Bella is one of my most important companions. Even if it were a phantom, she would never attack me! You made a mistake in this move!"

"Hmph! You're all talk and no action. Even so, how do you expect to defeat me now that I've become one with the star core?"

"This form is enough to deal with you!"

"arrogant!"

Without saying a word, Kiana simply touched the ground with her toes and appeared behind Cocolia in a blur.

The greatsword in her hand emitted a light so intense that it was enough to ignite a human body if one were to get close. Without any mercy, Kiana slashed Cocolia in the back.

In an instant, Cocolia's ice armor on her back turned into steam, and her body, made of stardust, was almost cut in two by this attack.

Despite the pain, Cocolia launched an attack behind her, but Kiana didn't even glance at it. Suddenly, voids opened up in the space behind Kiana, absorbing Cocolia's attack completely. Then, similar voids opened in front of Cocolia.

The ice spikes that Cocolia fired flew out from the other end of the hole and all hit Cocolia.

"What kind of power is this?!"

"Take your questions with you and go to hell!"

As Kiana spoke, she swung her sword again, and the next second Cocolia's eyes were filled with scorching flames.
