Chapter 249: Welcome to... Honkai Impact 3rd~☆

"It was snatched away, it was snatched away!"

The puppet looked aggrieved: "Flaunting justice, yet snatching other people's things~"

"Thief! Robber! Death penalty!"

"Forget it, since you want that thing so much, I'll give it to you. However..."

"There is a price!"

And just at this moment, Kiana only felt her spirit go into a trance.

"What?!"

She immediately discovered that the Herrscher of Void personality suppressed by the feathers was gradually waking up!

Seeing this, the puppet immediately became smug~.

"Although you say you don't care, you can't deceive yourself!"

"The moment we took out that gem, your heart, your soul truly cried, and this... also gave her a moment's opportunity... didn't it?"

Kiana: "..."

The puppet was right; those words did indeed make Kiana's heart waver for a moment.

Although she suppressed it quickly, the Herrscher of Void personality also seized the opportunity.

"Hehehe... next, let us welcome the protagonist of the next performance~"

"Welcome—Herrscher of Void, Sirin!"

After the puppet finished speaking, Kiana's attire also changed.

Her sky-blue pupils gradually turned into gold, and that luxurious dress exclusive to the Herrscher was draped over Kiana.

"Herrscher of Void!?"

Immediately after, the Herrscher of Void's arrogant voice also came out of her throat: "You~ guessed~ right~☆"

Watching the plot develop in this direction, Sister Yidian couldn't help but worry for Kiana.

But the chat was filled with 【Welcome the Queen~】

Even though the Herrscher of Void was a pure villain, many players still liked this character very much.

Of course, this wasn't just because of her queenly aura that overflowed the screen.

Sister Yidian hurriedly clicked on the next stage.

The plot opened with Kiana and the Herrscher of Void meeting in her consciousness.

And as soon as the Queen spoke, the chat was filled with 【Queen, step on me~】 【The Queen is as beautiful as a painting~】

In the eyes of the Herrscher of Void, what Herrscher of Dominance?

They were just a group of weaklings exuding the aura of ants.

As soon as these words came out, the Herrscher of Dominance's status plummeted to the bottom.

Combined with the BGM "Queen's Arrival," the Queen's aura immediately soared to the sky.

Even Elysia couldn't help but marvel.

Kiana... can she really defeat the Herrscher of Void?

In the game, the Queen first had a sparring match with Kiana.

Immediately after, she transformed into a language class representative, using flowery vocabulary, attempting to break Kiana's psychological defense line again.

But, meeting again after such a long time, Kiana was no longer the person she used to be.

She had long accepted and faced her identity.

She was not Kiana; she was test subject K423, an extension of Sirin.

She voluntarily took on all the mistakes committed by the Herrscher of Void.

Therefore...

When others called her the Herrscher of Void, she didn't refute; when the Herrscher of Dominance said she killed her own teacher with her own hands, she didn't refute either.

And Kiana's words also made the Herrscher of Void feel very ridiculous.

"I thought you were going to say something~☆"

"Good, I want to see, since you are Sirin, then how do you plan to realize Sirin's wish, to destroy the world she failed to destroy~☆"

Kiana: "Yes, this is the method you have always used."

"You claim to be Sirin, wantonly venting your hatred, but that is just your wish."

"In Sirin's dreams, there is surging, filthy darkness, but there is also calm, warm light."

"She longed to start over, longed to have an ordinary and happy family as an ordinary person."

"She longed for happiness and hope, she kept silently reciting the words she heard from Cecilia..."

"All of this was engraved in the memory of the core, crossing time, sending her final prayer to the future, giving birth to a new consciousness—"

"…that is me."

"I... am the other chance Sirin longed for..."

Seeing this, whether it was Sister Yidian or the audience, they all felt as if they had re-recognized Kiana.

That's right, the previous Kiana was innocent, naive, like a tuna.

Her only worries were just whether she would pass the next exam.

Wasn't the life at St. Freya Academy the thing Sirin longed for most deep in her heart in that dream?

However, the Queen's awakening destroyed all of this.

It caused Himeko's death and left the companions at St. Freya Academy homeless.

These things made her fall into extreme self-blame, even wanting to end it all.

But now...

"I will face all the past I didn't want to face, the memories I sealed away, the life intertwined with you..."

"I will cross these and accept—the real me!"

When Kiana firmly said these words.

Countless people in the live stream were moved.

Sister Yidian was even more gratified.

At this moment, Kiana truly came alive in her heart.

She had completely detached from the identity of a character in the game, and even detached from the shadow of Kiana in reality.

It was as if she had become another Kiana in reality.

Sister Yidian smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Sister Yidian..." Elysia looked at Sister Yidian with worry. ===== CHAPTER 251 =====
