Honkai Impact 3rd: I Am the Saviour

Accompanied by an intense BGM, the two people's destined duel also began accordingly.

But what surprised people was, the imagined evenly matched showdown did not arrive, rather, it was a one-sided crushing.

That's right, the Herrscher of the Void was crushed by Kiana.

"Belief" does exist, this is not just empty talk.

One must know this is the space of consciousness, so it also means as long as the two believe, then they will possess absolute power.

Kiana has always been a hot-blooded idiot. A person who is willing to give everything for a goal.

Moreover, that string of memories from the Herrscher of the Void also made Kiana realize that from the moment she was born, she had never been alone.

Whether it was Siegfried, who brought her out of Schicksal's laboratory, or everyone at St. Freya Academy, or even Van, who always appeared behind her whenever she encountered difficulties...

Their existence continuously brought her strength and faith.

Kiana firmly believed that as long as she had her companions' help, she could never be defeated.

But the Herrscher of the Void was not the same. She was born in malice, existing as the natural opposite of the world.

As for companions, she once had them too, but they all perished along with the end of the Second Eruption.

Moreover, during her battle with Kiana, every time the Herrscher of the Void's gaze swept over Van standing not far away, her heart would always feel powerless.

Even if she won, so what? Wouldn't that man still save the day at the critical moment?

With that kind of mindset, the Herrscher of the Void was never able to exert her full power. Because from the start, she didn't believe she would ultimately win.

So she too ended in defeat.

Looking at the more she fought the braver she became Kiana, a feeling of frustration arose in the heart of the Herrscher of the Void.

"Why? Why do you think you can defeat me? Just because you're the good Herrscher of the Void, and I'm the evil one?"

Facing the Herrscher of the Void's questioning, Kiana's answer resounded powerfully, "That kind of thing never existed! I chose good, and you chose evil!"

After she finished speaking, Kiana swung the broken sword in her hand with force.

The dazzling firelight dyed the consciousness space bright as day, and at the same time marked the end of this fated showdown.

"It's over!"

"Yeah... it's over..."

Compared to Kiana's determination, the voice of the Herrscher of the Void was full of exhaustion.

"The power that belonged to me is flowing into you. They abandoned me and chose you."

"Looks like... your 'faith' was stronger."

"I will properly use this power," Kiana said.

"Whatever, without me, you'll have it a lot easier anyway."

"I will bear the sins you committed. That is my responsibility."

"That's your own business, no need to tell me."

The Herrscher of the Void said, "You could have lived your life in ignorance, or simply died as an innocent test subject, but you chose this path..."

"The blood that this Herrscher of the Void stained, her sorrow and despair, the contradiction of good and evil that all of 'humanity' must face..."

"You'll have to use all the rest of your life to carry that burden."

As she said this, a strange emotion suddenly flashed through the eyes of the Herrscher of the Void.

There was schadenfreude, there was smugness, and also a hint of unnoticeable anticipation...

"I will work hard, to make sure there's never another 'Sirin' in this world again." Kiana softly said as she closed her eyes.

After a brief silence, the voice of the Herrscher of the Void sounded again. But this time, she no longer mocked Kiana's naive idea of wanting to change the world.

"That's enough, stop it. I don't need your pity."

"The winner stays, the loser disappears. That is the law of existence, and I have no objection."

"I've never agreed with your beliefs... but, since you won, then continue on your path. Do your best, and struggle to the end..."

"Kiana."

———

[Sending off the queen!]

[I heard a sob in the Herrscher's voice]

[Why can even a villain stab me in the heart!]

[That one word "Kiana"... shattered me]

———

At this point, the figure of the Herrscher of the Void began to slowly fade away. She slowly closed her eyes and quietly welcomed her end.

Recalling her whole life, the Herrscher of the Void mocked herself in her heart, 'In the end, I'm still alone...'

However, just as she was about to leave with this regret, she suddenly felt a warm hand gently caressing her head.

The Herrscher of the Void abruptly opened her eyes and saw a scene she would never forget.

That man she always called damnable, the one she once killed, the one who saved her... Was now gently looking at her.

"You..."

Before the Herrscher of the Void could speak, a long-forgotten memory suddenly surged into her mind.

She finally remembered the face of the man who once made her feel familial love...

The Herrscher of the Void, or perhaps we should now say, Sirin, she finally understood why that man, on that day, gave up the chance to kill her...

So it turns out, he did it not just to redeem Kiana, but also to redeem her.

But at the time, she had been completely consumed by hatred and had already forgotten the short time they had spent together.

Thinking of this, Sirin's eyes instantly filled with tears.

"So it turns out... from the very beginning, I wasn't alone..."

———

[In the Real World]

[Wuwuwu, so Sirin had such a past]

[By the way, is the Mihoyo writer okay, why not give this man a proper face shot?]

[Could this be foreshadowing for something later?]

[Wait... why do I feel like that man's silhouette looks kind of like Van?]

[Now that you mention it, I kind of see it too]

———

'Realize my ass! When did your eyesight get so good? You guys could even spot this?!'

In the real world, after seeing those comments, Van was completely panicking.

Originally he had been relieved that that damned Ai-chan had turned soft. She actually didn't choose to expose what he had done to Sirin and instead held back.

But who would've thought, Ai-chan didn't expose it, the netizens figured it out first.

Luckily, the people around him were all too absorbed in the video's content and hadn't noticed those comments.

This allowed Van to let out a long sigh of relief. According to Ai-chan's usual petty nature, if she didn't expose it then, she probably wouldn't later either.

'So, this round is still in my favor...'
