Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

“This is where we parted ways. Theresa must have gone to the other side of the hill…” Bronya said.

“Yes, this is the place,” Long Qiao said.

"Father—Father—" Theresa's voice suddenly rang out and entered the ears of the four people.

“It’s Theresa’s voice! What happened?” Seele asked.

"Let's go take a look."

After saying that, Long Qiao and the other three rushed to Theresa's side, where they saw Theresa supporting the priest's head as he lay on the ground, calling out to him repeatedly.

"Father...please, wake up."

“What happened? Why did the priest fall to the ground?” Seele asked.

“He’s passed out. We need to get him back to the orphanage right away,” Bronya said seriously.

“Seele, you stay here and help Theresa. We’ll go to the orphanage and call the older children over,” Bronya said.

Just as Bronya turned to leave, Long Qiao grabbed her and rolled away to dodge the attack from the Honkai Beast that was falling from the sky.

"...Honkai Beasts! Why did they suddenly appear?" Bronya asked.

"more than!"

Long Qiao looked to the side and saw that the Orphnoch, the Zerg, the Megiddo, the Otherworlders, and the Nebula had all arrived.

"Looks like this is going to be tough. Bronya, Seele, hide behind me and Moye! Henshin!"

Long Qiao took out the Holy Sword Blade Driver, which contained the Flame Sword Blade, and put it on his waist. At the same time, he took out the Dragon Knight Fantasy Book, inserted it into the driver, and pulled it out suddenly.

"Fiery sword drawn! Don't miss it! Super metallic armor! Super gorgeous propulsion system! Super powerful knight! Dramatic Knight! That means he's super strong!"

Amidst a burst of flames, a knight clad in silver armor appears—Kamen Rider Saber Ryumon Rider has arrived!

Long Qiao reached out with his left hand, instantly unleashing a burst of blazing fire to halt the monsters' attack. Then, with his right hand, he took out the Courageous Dragon Fantasy Book and opened the Dragon Pattern Amplifier in his left hand to scan.

"One Reading: Courageous Dragon"

After Long Qiao pressed the button on the right—

"Flame Spicy!"

Accompanied by sacred dragon flames, divine dragon flames were emitted from the dragon pattern amplifier, burning the Megidos. A burst of fire surged in front of Long Qiao, and the Megidos exploded one after another in an instant.

“Not bad, so next... let’s try out the new full-capsule tank…” Long Qiao looked at the group of nebula-like beings and sneered.

After Long Qiao put the Build Driver on his waist, he took out the Rabbit Tank bubble can and inserted it into it, then turned the joystick.

"Henshin!"

"RabbitTank Sparkling! Are you ready? Squirt out, RabbitTank Sparkling! Yeah Yeah!"

"This is Bubble Bunny Tank. Not bad. Let the slaughter begin... Let the dance begin!"

"I almost misspoke..."

Long Qiao pulled out the Drill Crusher and charged forward, stabbing the nearest Nebula with the tip of his spear, instantly sending it flying. However, he himself was knocked away by a molting alien insect beside him.

"Fine, I won't bother you guys, come and beat me up, kabuto!"

After transforming into Kabuto Knight form, Long Qiao instantly activated Time Rising mode, wielding a kunai sword in his right hand and using his incredible speed to wipe out all the Zerg that hadn't yet molted.

"Hyperion!"

"Hyper Cast off Change Hyper Beetle!"

At the same time, a greatsword grazed the scalp of the firefly alien and flew into Long Qiao's hand.

"Are you ready?" Long Qiao asked with a wicked smile.

"TheBee! Drake! Sasword!"

At Long Qiao's command, all three insect devices merged with the Perfect Insect Device and entered Perfect Mode. Long Qiao then switched the Perfect Insect Device to gun mode and pressed the four buttons: red, yellow, blue, and purple. He then pulled the trigger on the handle, and a strong superluminal particle energy gathered at the front of the gun-mode insect device. It then launched a tornado-like attack forward, sweeping away all the remaining alien insects and nebulae.

"Maximum Hyper Cyclone!"

The powerful recoil caused the spot where Long Qiao was standing to collapse several centimeters instantly, and Long Qiao's feet were completely stuck in the snow. Her body was still being slowly pushed backward by the Perfect Insect Device. After releasing all its energy, the three Insect Devices also flew into the space-time tunnel, teetering on the edge. Long Qiao stood quietly in the snow, holding the Perfect Insect Device and looking at the remaining aliens and Orphnoch.

"Ophino, Otherworlders, now only you two are left. Do you still want to go?" Long Qiao said, pointing his sword at Ophino and Otherworlders.

Orphino and the Otherworlder looked at the dragon, who was suddenly much shorter than them. Although they maintained their attacking stance, they dared not go any further.

"Come and lend a hand, I can't get out... the recoil is too strong," Long Qiao whispered to Mo Ye and Bronya.

"Why didn't you hold on a little longer and come out?" Mo Ye asked.

"That would be beneath your dignity. Didn't you see that the remaining aliens and Orphnochs didn't dare to go up?" Long Qiao said calmly.

"You idiot Longqiao, Heavy Bunny 19c." Bronya raised her hand and summoned Heavy Bunny, secretly pulling Longqiao out from behind. After Longqiao came out, he put away the Perfect Insect Device, crossed his arms, and looked at the remaining Orphnochs and Aliens.

"Let's just kill you all... If we keep you around, you'll only harm others. Let's get rid of you all at once!"

After summoning a clone of himself, Ryuki took out the Sengoku Driver, while the clone took out the Faiz Belt and transformed simultaneously.

"Standing By! Awakening!"

"Lock Open! Ultimate Arms! Great Great Great Great General!"

"Solve them all at once!"

"I know, stop talking nonsense."

"……never mind."

The main body of the dragon skillfully wielded the Fire Rope Orange DJ Gun, while simultaneously attaching the Orange Lockseed to the gun's barrel. The clone of the dragon skillfully wielded the Faiz Burst Device Photon Destruction Cannon in mode, aiming at the Orphnoch horde and the Otherworlders.

"Maximum power, Crimson Cannon Beam, fire!"

"Fire Rope Orange Musou Cannon!"

Two incredibly powerful energies poured out instantly, bombarding the Orphnochs and the group of aliens. Upon contact, they were instantly turned into fertilizer for the land. After the attack ended, Long Qiao recalled his clone and slowly walked step by step to Bronya's side.

“Bronya…I…”

Just as Long Qiao was about to say something, the next second... Long Qiao's legs went weak, and she knelt directly in front of Bronya, her eyes still blinking innocently.

"..."

“...Qiao...you…”

"...I figured it'd be almost Chinese New Year in China, so I was just wishing my boyfriend a happy new year in advance, haha..." Long Qiao explained, then casually stood up from the ground, only to...

Long Qiao's legs went weak again, and she knelt before Bronya once more...

"I'm out of excuses... My legs are weak, can you help me out?" Long Qiao said awkwardly, scratching his head.

"Pfft... After using so many high-burst skills, you can't stand up anymore, can you?" Bronya said with a smile, then used her Heavy Bunny to carry Long Qiao.

"How embarrassing..."
