Chapter 149: Galan Fortress, Janna
Back in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, three days have passed.
After looking through the clone's memories, Xue couldn't help but feel a little strange.
It is really too peaceful. Neither Destiny nor Anti-Entropy have made any substantial moves in the past few days.
If I remember correctly, the two parties will go to Galan Fortress in the near future.
Xue continued to amplify her perception, and soon she discovered that the "Glorious Covenant" and the "Moonlight Throne" appeared in the same place, near an island.
Xue immediately moved and disappeared from the spot.
Jiuxiao, who had just pushed the door open, was stunned when he saw the empty office.
……
Galan Fortress Sea, underwater
At this time, the anti-entropy executor "Doctor" Iselin, who was collecting information, and Bronya, one of the three stars, had encountered the planetary-level Honkai beast Janna.
Iselin quickly racked her brains, trying to persuade (trick) Cana to let Bronya and herself go.
As a result, Janna said that no matter whether they were from Destiny or Anti-Entropy, they would all die today.
Just when she thought it was all over, Xue arrived.
"Keep people under my command."
"Ok?"
Hearing another unfamiliar voice, Janna turned her head and met Yuki's gaze.
"Another little mouse...but why did I remember humans couldn't breathe underwater?"
After hearing what Janna said, Iselin also realized that something was wrong. Damn, there are humans who can breathe and talk freely under the sea.
"To be frank, please don't call me little mouse, thank you."
As Xue spoke, her pupils had turned into a gilded cross.
“?!!” For a moment, Janna was completely stunned.
She didn't understand why that kind of power appeared in someone other than Kiana?
"...Who are you? Why do you possess such power?"
"My name is Alicia Shaniat, Kiana's aunt, and also the 'End' of another world."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Janna."
"...Why do you appear in this world?"
Cana fell silent. She was a little confused about the situation. Putting aside the fact that the other party was Kiana's blood relative, why would the "End" of another world appear in this world?
"Well, to put it simply, I'm here to help Kiana escape her fate and help humanity defeat the Houkai."
Xue had no intention of hiding her intentions from Janna, a planetary-level Houkai beast that was a match for the "End".
Hearing this, Janna observed the snow with interest.
"Interesting! As an apostle of the 'God', you actually chose to rebel against the 'God'?"
"Resist? Unfortunately, it's not resistance, but swinging the godslaying blade towards Honkai..."
"...Besides, this isn't the first time."
Snow's aura changed again, and the power of the Star God of "Revelation" surrounded Snow, shocking Janna again.
She found herself as small as a human being in front of Kiana's relatives.
"...Are you here to destroy me?"
Janna looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy, staring intently into Xue's eyes.
Hearing this, Xue shook her head and restrained her breath.
"No, I just hope Miss Jana can give me some face."
"…What's the meaning?"
"I hope you can let these two unfortunate fools go. At the same time, use the most gentle means possible to drive away the visitors near the island and not endanger their lives."
Janna had no right to refuse Xue's request or order.
"...I promise you, Alicia Shaniat."
As she spoke, she let go of Bronya in her tentacles and looked at Iselin, whose mind was in a mess after listening to the conversation between the two.
"Human, for the sake of the End, I will spare you. Get out of my sight immediately."
Iselin came to her senses and quickly ran away with Bronya.
Before rushing out of the sea to give Destiny Anti-Entropy a small punishment, Janna turned her gaze back to Xue.
"...Kiana is like this, and so are you, Alicia Shaniat. I really don't understand why you can love such an ugly human."
"Maybe... you'll understand later."
Xue wasn't sure if Janna could truly understand human emotions.
Retracting his gaze, Janna emerged from the water. Xue was silent for a moment and returned to "Apocalypse Chaser".
As for Femilis from the Antarctic Research Institute, Xue had no interest in her at all.
After all, their sister super AIs Aysel and Aitiye, who evolved from the magic device AI, are no worse than each other.
……
It was already noon when Xue returned to "Apocalypse Chasing Fire". She went back to the office and rested for a while.
I had planned to visit the paradise in the afternoon, but the breath of destruction suddenly crossed the continent and appeared in Xue's perception.
"This location is... Paris?"
After locating the exact location of the collapse, Xue immediately took out the communicator and summoned some members.
After receiving the order to assemble, Mei, Jiuxiao, Kiana who had just finished lunch, Cecilia and Himeko who were taking a break, and Shigure Kirara who had escaped immediately rushed to Xue's office.
"Everyone, let me make it short. Paris has just experienced a major collapse, and the fifth Herrscher, Metal Herrscher, has been born."
Everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Team Apocalypse, attack immediately."
"Yes."
The space changes, and Xue and the Apocalypse Team have appeared in Paris after the great collapse.
Paris was already in ruins at this moment, with smoke-covered ruins and wandering dead soldiers and collapsed beasts everywhere.
"Everyone, go clean up the Honkai beasts and the dead soldiers and look for survivors."
"I'll go look for the Herrscher and deal with him separately."
"clear."
The members of the Apocalypse Team scattered away, and Xue looked towards the Notre Dame Cathedral not far away.
She knew the identity of the Metal Herrscher. When Xue thought about the blonde girl Nina, whom she had been secretly supporting, becoming a Herrscher, she felt a little bad.
Releasing some of her own strength, Xue walked towards the orphanage not far away.
Feeling the god-like aura on Xue, the collapsed creatures instinctively made way for her, and then completely collapsed in the next moment.
Xue appeared in front of the door of the once magnificent building. In the broken ruins of the orphanage, Nina was standing there blankly with lifeless eyes.
Four sharp blades floated around her, and she continuously exuded a suppressed aura of destruction.
Seeing Xue coming in front of her, Nina didn't show any expression, but just opened her mouth.
"Who are you?"
"Nina... I'm Sister Alicia. Don't you recognize me?"
"Sister Alicia..." Nina seemed to have some fragmented memories in her mind, and she murmured.
"Yes, it's me, Alicia, the big sister who often comes to play with you and Iselin."
"Alicia...Iselin..." Hearing another familiar name, a glimmer gradually appeared in Nina's eyes, but that was all.
"Sister Alicia...are you here to kill me like you killed those monsters?"
"No, I'm here to save you, Nina."
"Save me, why?" Nina looked at Xue in confusion.
"Didn't you, I, and Iselin agree to cure your painlessness so that you can live like a normal person?"
"Am I sick? People all feel pain when they're sick... Why can't I feel any pain?"
"Nina...it's okay, it's only temporary."
As she spoke, Xue used the power of consciousness and life and death to synchronize her senses with Nina's, while accelerating the healing of her painlessness.
For Nina, perhaps only by feeling real pain can she have the initial possibility of breaking free from the control of Houkai.
Xue gave up the defense of her wrist and gently cut a hole.
Nina, whose senses were synchronized with Xue's, seemed to sense something, and the expression on her face suddenly changed.
"My wrist...it feels so weird."
Nina looked at her wrist. Although her appearance remained unchanged, she felt a strange sensation...
"I synchronized my feelings with yours... Nina, this is pain..."
Xue didn't care at all about her bleeding wrist and looked at Nina in front of her with a smile.
"Pain? So, this strong feeling is pain... It's so uncomfortable..." Nina couldn't believe how she felt at the moment.
"Yes... You're right... This is pain... Nina..."
