Honkai City: My First Move is to Animate Honkai Impact 3rd

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The Bleeding Hero and the Clown



[Looking at the rising smoke in the distance, Einstein, who was on top of Babylon Tower, seemed lost in thought. After a long moment, she finally gave the order for Dr. Tesla to prepare the Silver Bullet.

Receiving Einstein's order, Tesla knew that Welt Yang had made the same choice as Welt Joyce all those years ago: to show the tyrant in the sky the power of humanity. With tears streaming down her face, she uttered a fierce threat.

"Second Herrscher, let Dr. Tesla teach you..."

"...what the true power of humanity is!"

Facing Welt's relentless bombardment, Sirin finally used the power of the Herrscher of the Void. Countless purple-black spatial portals opened behind her, absorbing the cannon fire and redirecting it to rain down on Welt.

The Herrscher of the Void's spatial transfer used Welt's own barrage to destroy his phantom army. But Welt was undaunted. He clenched his fists and said, "A god's power is indeed immense, but..."

"...it's not over yet!"

The camera zoomed in for a close-up. Welt's eyes were filled with unparalleled determination.

"We fall, and then we get back up!"

"That is how humanity has always moved forward!"

"Come on! Our war has only just begun!"]

"Did Welt bribe my stinky uncle or something?!" Sirin was getting agitated. Although she had the upper hand on paper, her opponent kept emphasizing the power of humanity, which made her look like a whining, tantrum-throwing child in comparison.

"Welt is a partner, after all," Siegfried commented.

"Stinky old dad, I wasn't asking you!" Sirin ground her teeth.

"Uh..." Siegfried couldn't figure out why Sirin was so angry. He decided to just stop thinking about it and continue watching the movie.

Cecilia watched the father-daughter interaction with a gentle smile.

[Just as Sirin gained the upper hand and was getting arrogant, the God-Slaying weapon developed by Anti-Entropy's Einstein silently arrived above her. Her instincts told her that this weapon was extremely dangerous. But with only three seconds before impact, she had no time to teleport herself to safety or divert the weapon.

Sirin used all her strength to try and teleport the weapon into the depths of the earth, using the planet as a shield. The massive explosion created a mushroom cloud, and Sirin was thrown to the ground, severely injured.

Welt Yang appeared beside her. With the Star of Eden in his hand, he used his remaining strength to unleash its Zeroth Power, Pseudo Black Hole, intending to kill Sirin once and for all.

Just as Sirin was about to die, Welt Yang felt a heavy blow to his chest. Exhausted from the battle, he fell powerlessly to his knees. The white clown appeared from nowhere and crushed the Star of Eden with his bare hands.

"So this was just a counterfeit replica as well," the clown said, his words ambiguous as to whether he was referring to Welt or the Star of Eden.

Benares took the opportunity to catch Sirin and fly into the sky.

Watching Benares and Sirin disappear into the distance, Welt didn't even have the strength to stand, only able to reach out a trembling hand.

"Don't... don't go."

The clown stomped his foot down hard on Welt's hand.]

"Damn you, Otto!" Welt Yang roared.

"This part of the plot must have been written by that [Anti-Entropy curse] Otto," Tesla began her tirade again.

Einstein sighed helplessly. "Why do you all take the movie's plot so seriously? If the young Schicksal director can portray Welt as a hero fighting for humanity, can't he let Schicksal's own Overseer humiliate him a little?"

If the story constantly praised Welt as a hero, Einstein would feel uneasy. But having Otto show up and mercilessly humiliate Welt actually felt more normal to her.

"Dr. Einstein, whose side are you on?"

"Me? I'm on the side of truth."

The two started arguing again. Welt Joyce was completely exasperated.

"That was amazing! Overseer Otto, I'll never curse you again!"

While everyone else was cursing the clown (Otto), only Sirin was praising him. Otto had backstabbed Welt but had let her live.

"But, Sirin, you only became like this because of Schicksal in the first place!" Bella suddenly chimed in.

"Bella, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Sirin's gratitude towards Otto vanished once again.

Siegfried suddenly had a bad feeling. He remembered that in the next part of the story, he...

[The clown raised a blade, intending to use this opportunity to kill Welt, but the blade was shattered by a sudden, cold gunshot. The clown turned his head to see the timely arrival of Siegfried, wielding the Might of An-Utu.

Siegfried raised his guns, but before he could finish his threat, he failed to notice a single crimson-gold feather slowly drifting down beside him. In an instant, the clown appeared behind Siegfried, snatched the Might of An-Utu, and shot him in the abdomen.

"What?"

Siegfried fell to his knees.

The clown, or rather, Otto, didn't want to kill Siegfried yet. He just wanted him to back down and stop getting in his way.

Welt was furious at Siegfried for talking about taking him down together. He believed his own time was up, but Siegfried was different. He had family, friends, and could still protect the world.

"Close your eyes, get out of here and live! Go protect this world, Siegfried!"

"He's right. He's the First Herrscher, an enemy of humanity. For that alone, his sins are unforgivable," the clown readily agreed. "And you, sir, have the mission of protecting the world."

Faced with both friend and foe telling him to leave, Siegfried was unmoved. He knew that if he fought the man in the clown mask, he had a ninety percent chance of losing. But he would not run away!

Siegfried endured the sharp pain in his abdomen and slammed his fist into the clown's mask.

This move stunned not only the clown but Welt as well.

The clown raised the Might of An-Utu.

Siegfried raised the other one.

"You know, I've hated grand principles since I was a kid!"

"Protecting the world, sacrificing the few for the many... I've never believed in any of that grand nonsense. I only do what I think is right."

"If I just stood by and watched someone who has saved my life twice die, my conscience wouldn't let me rest. Even my own cooking would start to taste bad."

Siegfried closed his eyes, the beautiful image of Cecilia flashing in his mind.

"And most importantly—if I did something so ungrateful, and my wife found out when I got home..."

Siegfried's eyes snapped open.

"—I'd have to kneel on the washboard!"]

"Hahaha." Kiana burst out laughing. "Why... why can my stinky old dad say something so ridiculous with a completely straight face! Hahaha."

Kiana was laughing so hard she was rolling on the floor. She took out her phone and tagged Cecilia in the family group chat. "@Cecilia Mama, did you really make Dad kneel on a washboard?"

Cecilia quickly replied: "No~, Mama only made Dad kneel on a keyboard."

"Honey, let's not talk about these things in front of the children," Siegfried messaged.

"⊙﹏⊙" - Kiana.

"⊙▽⊙" - Sirin.

"Otto, what are your thoughts?" Kallen asked.

"Hmm, after the New Year, it's about time for Siegfried to come back to work. He's fallen way behind on the work for Sector Two. I'll have to make him work some serious overtime. At least 16 hours a day," Otto said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Achoo." Siegfried rubbed his nose and muttered, "Who's talking about me?"

In the Golden Courtyard, with the married couple Blanka and Hen absent, everyone's eyes fell on the only remaining couple. Kevin felt extremely uncomfortable under their gaze. "Why are you all looking at me?"

"Kevin?"

Hearing Elysia's sweet voice, Kevin froze on the spot.

"If you made MEI unhappy, would you be punished by having to kneel on a washboard?" Elysia asked curiously, a question that was on everyone's minds.

Kevin glanced almost imperceptibly at MEI and saw that she was also looking at him with a smile.

Kevin immediately started shaking his head like a drum. "O-of course not."

Seeing Kevin's reaction, everyone understood perfectly.
