Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

"How did the future St. Freya Academy become like this?" Theresa said in horror, her voice trembling.

“After the massive invasion of Honkai Beasts, most of them came to St. Freya Academy to destroy it. Theresa, you and Aunt Himeko died here. I couldn’t fight against so many people and couldn’t protect this place…” Future Dragon Takumi said helplessly.

"...It's alright...you did your best too..."

When the group followed Long Qiao to another area, they saw a boy who was seriously injured and unconscious.

"Didn't you say you were the only one left in this world? How did this person appear?" Long Qiao asked, scratching his head.

"His name is Long Yuyang. According to him, he was injured by a monster after saving someone in another world, and then, by sheer coincidence, he ended up in my world. After I rescued him, he fell into a coma due to his severe injuries," Future Long Qiao said, scratching his face.

“I see…” Qingmo said, stroking his chin.

"Cough cough...Where am I?" Long Yuyang asked blankly after waking up from his coma.

"Oh, you're awake? Do you remember me?" Future Long Qiao asked, waving her hand in front of Long Yu Yang.

"You are... I remember you, your name seems to be Long Qiao?" Long Yuyang said after thinking for a moment.

"To be precise, I'm Future Longqiao. The real Longqiao is over there flirting with girls," Future Longqiao said, pointing behind him.

"Him? The one flirting with girls is the real Long Qiao from that time period?" Long Yuyang said, pointing at Long Qiao in confusion.

"As you can see."

Qingmo and the others looked back in confusion, only to see Long Qiao chatting and bragging with Bronya and Mei, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth. Then, noticing everyone staring at him, he asked, "Why are you all looking at me?"

"No, it's nothing," the group quickly waved their hands and said.

"Strange...it feels like you guys are talking about me behind my back."

"No, it's nothing."

Long Qiao scratched his head as he looked at the group of people with strange expressions, then walked towards Bronya.

"Hehehe, Zhang Qingyun Mountain, your sister-in-law is coming." Men Mo whispered to the two of them with a grin.

Just as the group was chatting and laughing, a beast-like roar rang out, followed by a smooth attack that struck the wall of St. Freya.

"Long Qiao! Get out here! Our last battle is still unresolved!" A female voice came from the air.

"Hey~ I'm telling you, big sister, do you have to be so persistent? Last time I beat you half to death. If it weren't for the Herrscher saving you, you would have been dead long ago. Now you're coming to find me again. What do you want? Do you really want to kill me?" Future Dragon Qiao walked out and looked at the mimic Herrscher in the sky and said helplessly.

"Enough with the nonsense!" The Herrscher of Mimicry instantly attacked Future Dragon.

In a flash, Future Dragon Clever appeared high in the sky, his left hand still firmly gripping the Herrscher of Mimicry. Future Dragon Clever also instantly transformed into an Orphnoch, coldly staring at the Herrscher of Mimicry.

"You guys help me clear out the Honkai Beasts, and leave the Herrscher of Mimicry to me!" Future Dragon said to the crowd below.

"OK!"

The next second, as everyone quickly transformed and approached the Honkai Beast horde, the roars of Honkai Beasts and the figure of the Herrscher of Mimicry suddenly came from several directions.

Everyone was shocked. Himeko and Theresa quickly organized the rest of the group to hold off the Honkai Beasts and the Herrscher of Mimicry. However, Long Qiao did not move for a long time and was blocked by the Honkai Beasts before the others could ask him.

"Dong - dong dong -"

"Zi-"

"Strange... my heart... is beating so fast..." Long Qiao stood there, touching her heart and muttering to herself.

"My body... feels so hot... it's like an unstoppable fighting spirit is flowing out..."

Just then, a Temple-level Honkai Beast broke through everyone's defenses and reached Long Qiao's side, intending to kill her—

"Skilled!!!" Bronya shouted.

The next second, this Temple-class Honkai Beast was instantly reduced to a pile of minced meat—

"What happened?" Himeko asked in surprise.

"Look at Long Qiao's appearance and his right hand!" Men Mo shouted.

When everyone looked at Long Qiao, they suddenly noticed that Long Qiao was holding a large sword in her right hand. This sword was the weapon that Long Qiao used in her Orphnoch form. At this moment, Long Qiao's eyes suddenly turned into red beast eyes, and blue flames appeared on her body. However, these flames only lasted for a few seconds before turning into black flames.

Long Qiao has become an Orphnoch, but he is different. His original red skin has turned black, and even his pupils have changed from gold to red. The lines on his body have also changed from red to gold, giving him a sense of oppression.

"What's going on?" Qingmo asked, puzzled.

"Gulp... It seems... Long Qiao is about to go berserk..." Men Mo said, swallowing hard.

"Based on my years of experience reading comics... that's definitely true..." Zhang Qing couldn't help but take a step back.

Suddenly, a Honkai Beast lunged at Ophione, biting down on his shoulder armor. But Long Qiao ignored it. The next second, a sharp spike suddenly emerged from the back of the Honkai Beast's head. Long Qiao looked in the direction of the Honkai Beast, then turned around and plunged his entire claw into the Honkai Beast's head before pulling it out sharply.

"Ho...ho...ho...roar—"

Long Qiao suddenly roared, then dismembered the fallen Honkai Beast, grabbed a piece of flesh, stuffed it into her mouth, and began chewing. After swallowing the flesh, Long Qiao paused for a moment and vanished instantly, followed by a scream of agony—

Long Qiao grabbed a Herrscher of Mimicry's shoulder with his left hand and its neck with his right. With a sudden burst of strength, he seized the severed arm, glanced at it, and discarded it. He then drew his Zanpakuto (for Berserk mode) and slashed at the Herrscher of Mimicry. With a single strike, the Herrscher of Mimicry vanished instantly. Long Qiao then slashed at the void in the direction of his future self, and the Herrscher of Mimicry fighting him vanished once more. The future Long Qiao watched Long Qiao, his lips twitching. He could easily tell that Long Qiao had entered Berserk mode.

After sheathing his sword, Long Qiao looked at the Honkai Beasts on the ground and swung his sword a few more times. The entire group of Honkai Beasts disappeared and vanished. After clearing out the Honkai Beasts, Long Qiao landed on the ground and looked at everyone, with a trace of drool at the corner of his mouth.

"The violent aura emanating from Qiao Ge is terrifying..." Xilin said, trembling with sweat.

“He looks like this… could it be…” Himeko’s eyes twitched slightly.

“According to Bronya’s test, there’s a 99% chance that Long Qiao wants to eat us,” Bronya said, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Does this even need testing?" Yunshan said, taking a step back.

"Damn it, the Honkai Beasts really did a good thing! They took us from Normal Mode to Hell Mode in one go," Menmo said through gritted teeth, holding his knife.

The next second, Long Qiao moved, rushing straight towards Men Mo and the others—
