Honkai Impact 3rd: Catching the Herrscher of Sentience at the Start

Kiana, now wielding the power of both Bronya and Fu Hua, charged toward the Herrscher of Domination like a blazing comet.

"Is it finally ending? What about my task? Do I have to take action for the countdown to start?"

Fu Lin pondered, bewildered as the system's timer still hadn't started, despite the Herrscher of Domination's imminent defeat.

-----------------------

The entire theater was illuminated by Kiana's blazing flames, and those intense flames reflected Kiana's indomitable will, unstoppable and invincible.

The many puppet arms used by the Herrscher of Domination to block attacks were instantly crushed upon touching Kiana!

Seeing its attacks were ineffective, the Herrscher of Domination constructed a massive arm to intercept Kiana's assault.

"Your ideals are impossible to achieve; this world has never been beautiful!!!!" The voice of the Herrscher of Domination echoed again, but this time it trembled, filled with panic.

Kiana's unwavering faith and the mutual trust with her companions made the malevolent entity known as the Herrscher of Domination feel an unacceptably deep fear. Such emotions were something it dared not believe in and had always avoided.

"Not at all!" Kiana gripped her great sword tightly; the glow of the gems gradually dimmed, yet her azure eyes sparkled like stars.

Her will and conviction reignited the great sword in her hand.

"Boom—!!!" The roaring flames from the great sword birthed an unyielding warrior in the blaze!

Kiana raised her great sword high, four gems radiating different colors shone brightly, but none could match the brilliance in her eyes.

Bronya styled her hair, Fu Hua forged her armor, Himeko draped her in a cloak, another faint figure just standing behind her.

That silhouette merged into the great sword she clutched, the blade emitting dazzling golden light!

This was the strength given to her by her companions, a testament to everything she had experienced so far!

At this moment, let us celebrate the birth of Kiana Kaslana as the Herrscher of Fire! All the trials she endured and the beauty she experienced transformed her into her current form.

The Herrscher of Fire was born to protect all the beauty in the world and to safeguard humanity.

This is the embodiment of Kiana's will.

"Tsk, a bit cool," Fu Lin said, eating the dumplings from his system space, sourly watching Kiana's impressive transformation.

"I want to make a cool entrance too! But who is that blurry figure? Why are they so important to Kiana?"

Kiana stepped into the flames, charging at the Herrscher of Domination again, her response resonating throughout the theater.

"The world may not be beautiful, but there are people who tell me not to give up. They guide me, proving that the world isn't as bad as it seems."

The fiery figure spiraled in mid-air, the golden great sword cutting through all the thorns that blocked her path.

Spiraling metallic blocks gathered before Kiana, seemingly trying to halt her advance.

"This sword connects us; it will burn away the dark skies and light up the darkness!"

The golden sword turned crimson erupting in intense flames, and with one swing, it seemed as if the entire theater would be split apart!

"Damn, my poor dumplings!" Fu Lin watched in despair as the dust from the attack dirtied his dumpling, feeling hopeless.

Watching a show is really not easy.

The obstacles before Kiana shattered in an instant!

With this fire, nothing can hold her back!

Seeing Kiana's unstoppable momentum, the Herrscher of Domination gathered all its power, unleashing a beam capable of destroying everything!

Kiana did not evade; she prepared to meet the Herrscher's final strike head-on.

Because she wasn't fighting alone! Behind her, blurry figures of Teresa, Bronya, Fu Hua, and another obscure figure were still supporting her.

"Where's Mei's figure? Could that blurry silhouette be Mei?" Fu Lin, now more relaxed, resumed eating his dumplings, his mind filled with questions.

They all extended their palms, placing them on Kiana's back, transmitting their strength to her without reservation.

"This is our— path home!!!"

"Boom—!!!"

The Herrscher of Domination's beam was easily destroyed, as Kiana charged forward with unmatched power, breaking through the fiery brilliance, delivering the final blow to the Herrscher of Domination!

The Herrscher could only use its last bit of power to construct layers of defensive barriers, attempting to withstand Kiana's attack.

But how could it withstand Kiana, who was filled with her companions' strength?

The great sword fell heavily on it, and an endless blaze erupted instantly!

In the dazzling flames, the blurry figure appeared beside Kiana once more.

Kiana widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at that phantom next to her.

"This dumpling can't be eaten now, and this figure appeared again, stealing Himeko's spotlight," Fu Lin grumbled as he squatted down to pick up the dumpling which fell down once more.

The figure vanished in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

"Ah!!!" Kiana withdrew her gaze, channeling all her emotions into a shout, then gathered all her strength into the sword, transforming her body into flames and burning fiercely within the light!

In the next second, the explosive flames seemed to engulf the entire world!

As the fiery explosion gradually dimmed, Kiana lowered her great sword, calmly stating, "It's all over."

Suddenly, the voice of the Herrscher of Domination, which should have been obliterated, rang out.

"I told you, we are a collection of malice in the world. As long as this world harbors malice, we will not die!"

"Kiana, give up! This is a meaningless resistance!"

Kiana looked around in surprise, unsure of where the voice originated from, and raised her great sword to the sky once more.

"If that's the case, I'll eradicate you once again!"

"Hahaha, it's useless. No matter how many times you destroy us, we will resurrect again; this is the power bestowed by the Honkai, hahahaha!"

Fu Lin initially thought it was over, but upon hearing the voices in the theater, he realized, "This must be the task this time."

As soon as Fu Lin finished speaking, the system screen began the countdown.

The original fragments of the Herrscher of Domination gradually gathered in the theater.

In an instant, a Herrscher of Domination even larger than before appeared in the center of the arena, wildly swinging its arms in celebration of its resurrection.

Kiana stared in shock at the Herrscher of Domination but quickly tightened her grip on the great sword and attacked.

However, no matter how Kiana attacked, she couldn't break through that thin shield surrounding the Herrscher.

The Herrscher of Domination swung its arms at Kiana, instantly sending her flying with a joyful taunt.

"Kiana, give up! You can't possibly defeat us now, hahahaha!"

"No matter how impossible it seems, I will do everything I can to accomplish it!" Kiana wiped the blood from her lips and tenaciously launched another assault on the Herrscher of Domination.

Suddenly, a golden light shone from the sky; Kiana, ready to attack, looked up in disbelief, her eyes stinging as she watched the figure descend from above.

The Herrscher of Domination also turned to the sky, launching an attack, but Kiana blocked it with all her strength.

Fu Lin slightly opened one of his eyes, looking at Kiana, who was shielding him from the attack; seeing her safe, he closed his eyes again. After all, a cool entrance shouldn't be ruined like this.
