Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

"Command center, this is Theresa Apocalypse. Please report on the current status of the Second Herrscher," Theresa said through the communication.

“Lady Theresa, it’s so good to know you’re alright,” the operator said.

"After your battle with the Second Herrscher, the Second Herrscher disappeared from the radar," the operator reported.

“In order to obtain the Honkai energy inside the ‘Tower’ and complete her full awakening, the Second Herrscher will definitely go to the Babylon Laboratory. Have the Valkyrie squad patrol near the ‘Tower’ and report to command immediately if they detect any Honkai energy reactions from the Second Herrscher,” Theresa guessed before adding.

“But we should try to avoid fighting the Second Herrscher. By the way, where is Siegfried Kaslana?” Theresa asked.

"Lord Siegfried has just arrived at the temporary command post and is on standby," the operator said.

“Okay, I’ll head to the temporary command post and meet him there,” Theresa said before hanging up.

“Let’s go,” Theresa said, turning to Long Qiao and the others.

"Ah."

After walking for a while, Mei couldn't help but ask, "That Theresa... the tower you mentioned, is it the one in the distance?"

“The Tower is just an abbreviation; its full name is Babylon Laboratory, a large research center built by the Destiny Organization in Siberia. It houses Destiny’s most advanced biological, materials, computer, and cutting-edge energy technologies,” Theresa replied.

"Hmph!" Long Qiao couldn't help but snort coldly and then said, "Some people in the Destiny Organization are not even human anymore, they are just beasts."

“Well… never mind. Anyway, although the Second Herrscher has awakened, she is still very weak due to a lack of sufficient Honkai energy. So we speculate that she will go to the tower to absorb Honkai energy. If she succeeds, then no one in this world can stop her!” Theresa said.

"Do you remember how you stopped it back then?" Menmo asked Mei and Bronya in a low voice.

“Um, I think I know a little bit…” Bronya said softly.

“Bronya heard that a white-haired boy suddenly transformed into someone wearing black armor and then clashed fists with the Second Herrscher, and in the end, both of them disappeared…” Bronya said after thinking for a moment.

“White-haired boy? It should be Long Qiao. That black armor... and he can fight the Second Herrscher... so he can't be bad... There's only one I can think of... Zhang Qing, what about you?” Men Mo said.

“Kuuga…Kuuga Ultimate…I just don’t know if it’s red-eyed or black-eyed…” Zhang Qing said.

“That’s what I thought too, but I think it’s Red Eyes…” Menmo said after thinking for a moment.

"Why?" Zhang Qing asked, puzzled.

"Are you stupid? When Long Qiao first arrived, he only had a Faiz belt, but why does he have a Kuuga belt now? That's because someone attached it to him. And I speculate that it was his future self who attached it. Furthermore, it's possible that the Second Herrscher was just sealed away. If Long Qiao turned into Black Eyes, with that punch's 80-ton force, the Second Herrscher probably wouldn't die from that punch. Otherwise, she would have to run away. And among our Knights, there are Knights who can seal things away. So I feel that Long Qiao sealed the Second Herrscher and had it absorbed by that thing," Men Mo explained.

"What you're talking about... Eye Soul!" Zhang Qing exclaimed in shock.

"That's right, it's the Eye Soul."

“According to what you’ve said, the probability is at least 95%, but we’ll see later. Anyway, it’s a database, and everything has already happened,” Zhang Qing said.

"Yes."

Just after the two finished their conversation, Kiana turned to Theresa and asked, "Theresa, I have a question for you. Cecilia, Cecilia Schariac, is she also participating in this battle?"

“Cecilia…why do you know that name?” Theresa asked.

“Because…because she is the Valkyrie I admire most,” Kiana replied.

"When did Kiana become so smart?" Menmo scratched his head and thought to himself.

“Oh, I see. But Cecilia didn’t come to Siberia. She gave birth to her daughter more than a year ago, and she’s been recuperating ever since. So she didn’t participate in the mission this time, but…” Theresa replied.

"But what?" Kiana asked.

“If Siegfried and I are unable to stop the Second Herrscher, then Bishop Otto may force Cecilia to attack,” Theresa said.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't forget about us!" Menmo said.

"This was the original plan, but Bishop Otto was unaware of it."

“We will absolutely not let this happen, and we will definitely protect Cecilia,” Theresa said.

“That’s right, please make sure to protect her,” Kiana said.

After saying that, everyone pulled Kiana over again. Then Zhang Qing looked at the two people walking ahead and said to Kiana, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much."

"Why? That's my mother! She'll die in this battle!" Kiana said excitedly.

“Actually, your mother didn’t die, she’s just recovering from her injuries…” Zhang Qing said.

"How did you know?" Kiana asked.

"Didn't I say that? Siegfried came to me once and told me about his situation," Zhang Qing said blankly.

After saying that, the group quickly shook their heads.

"Moreover, Uncle Siegfried used Heavenly Flame once this time, losing his left hand in the process. However, when I met him, his left hand had completely healed and regenerated," Zhang Qing said.

"And he also said he came to thank the white-haired boy," Zhang Qing continued.

"A white-haired boy?" Then everyone looked at Long Qiao's back.

"What... what exactly happened in Long Qiao's battle this time?" Mei asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know, but we’re very close to the truth…” Bronya said.

"Yes, let's just take it one step at a time. Anyway, the ending will be good."

After finishing speaking, Men Mo looked at the white-haired boy's retreating figure and couldn't help but think to himself, "What exactly happened to you here? Not only did you save one who was dead and another who was seriously injured, but you also sealed one away, and you even lost your own memory. The truth of everything is about to surface..."
