Honkai Impact 3rd: I Am the Saviour

Along with the dispersal of the fiery red light particles, Van once again disappeared in front of Kiana.

At the same time, what also disappeared was the blood pressure of the people in the real world.

Although when Van said that "Believe in me," which was basically no different from a death flag, they had already mentally prepared themselves.

But being mentally prepared doesn't mean they could accept this ending.

So, when Van disappeared once again, a wave of public criticism against miHoYo's writers surged again online.

The long-silent miHoYo bounty list was also once again pinned at the top of major forums.

[In the Video]

"Ahahahahaha!"

The ear-piercing laughter of the Herrscher of Domination rang out once again.

"As long as the despair in people's hearts does not disappear, then we will never disappear. What created us is… what destroys everything is…"

"Humanity's own malice!!!"

As the giant hand of the Herrscher of Domination came smashing down, the screen also fell into a brief darkness.

"Look, you once again got him hurt!"

"This is humanity's end… We are all failures. Humanity is all failure!"

When the screen lit up again, Kiana had already been firmly bound by the strings of the Herrscher of Domination, completely unable to move.

Even so, Kiana was still bitterly holding on, resisting with determination.

But compared to Kiana's resolve, obviously the Herrscher of Domination, possessing the resentment of a thousand people, had even greater hatred.

"He has already fallen. You… are the last one."

Finally, under the mental attacks of the Herrscher of Domination, the light in Kiana's eyes gradually faded, and her consciousness grew weaker and weaker.

Just as Kiana was about to completely lose herself in this despairing darkness, one after another, fiery red light particles began to appear before her eyes.

Immediately after, that familiar back once again appeared in front of her.

Recalling all the past, remembering her promise to him… Kiana clenched her fists and began struggling again, breaking free of the heavy obstruction of the puppets.

"I… will not… fall here!!!"

As she said that, Kiana reached out her hand toward that figure, and at the same time, grasped the broken sword he left for her.

"Now it's my turn to do what I should do!"

"To tell him, I will live up to his expectations and turn this imperfect world into what he hoped for!!!"

Boom!

A burst of fire exploded from the pile of puppets. With her hair flowing freely, Kiana stood once more before the Herrscher of Domination like a phoenix reborn from fire.

Then, holding the greatsword Van once wielded, Kiana pointed it toward the Herrscher of Domination and slowly spoke the words Van had once said:

"Your attack… is over?"

"What?!" The Herrscher of Domination couldn't believe it.

"Now it's my turn, no objections, right?"

At the moment Kiana's words landed, a BGM titled 'Moon Halo' began to play.

[♪Some deserts on this planet were oceans once]

[♪Somewhere shrouded by the night, the sun will shine]

[♪Sometimes I see a dying bird fall to the ground]

[♪But it used to fly so high]

[In the Real World]

When they saw Kiana stand up again, netizens were incomparably excited in their hearts.

Because they saw Kiana's determination, and they felt her resolve to win!

However, at the moment the BGM started, they immediately changed expressions, putting on the "pain mask."

No other reason.

Because it's miHoYo's BGM, those who know, know.

[Quick! Smash miHoYo's speakers for me!]

[This BGM is cheating!]

[Ughhh... miHoYo, you have no heart. But this BGM is just too good, I don't even know how to scold you anymore… sob sob]

[It's over. miHoYo drove this brother upstairs insane. He's already rambling nonsensically.]

[Back to the Video]

After realizing that her attacks could no longer do anything to Kiana, the anxious Herrscher of Domination tried once again to interfere with Kiana using mental warfare.

"Why do you still stand up?"

"No matter how you struggle, the result won't change!"

"Your ideals are impossible to realize…"

"Because this world… was never beautiful!"

As the Herrscher of Domination shouted those words with a choked-up voice, people outside the video felt the despair in her words.

But in response to her was Kiana's firm shout.

"That's not true!!!"

With that shout, Kiana in midair finally welcomed her transformation.

In the blinding flames, Kiana's loose hair was tied up again. She was now wearing the battle armor symbolizing Flame-Chaser, and the fiery red cape behind her fluttered wildly in the wind.

And what drew the most attention, without a doubt, was the broken sword in Kiana's hand.

After being tempered by flames, the broken blade had already been reforged and became incomparably sharp.

The gemstone inlaid in the blade symbolized the beautiful wishes of her companions, and it now emitted a dazzling violet glow.

[In the Real World]

After seeing this part, Ivana subconsciously turned to look at Van and said sourly, "You bastard… Aren't you being too biased toward Kiana? You actually did this much for her? Even gave up part of the Herrscher of Finality's authority…"

As Ivana's words fell, the others present also turned their gaze to Van.

To this, Van did not directly respond, but only watched the Kiana in the video, bathed in firelight, with a gratified expression.

After a while, Van slowly opened his mouth and said calmly, "No. I only gave her a chance. The final result… was something she obtained through her own efforts."

After hearing Van's words, the expressions of everyone present turned complex. Because they all understood just how much Kiana had given along the way.

On the other side, seeing everyone once again being drawn into the story, Van on the surface still looked calm and composed, but in his heart he had already popped open champagne.

As the saying goes, 'the higher the devil climbs, the greater the fall.'

If not for his quick thinking, he might've been dragged into a pit again by Ivana, that little brat.

As long as things continued at this pace, then maybe, just maybe, he really could survive the night safely.

'Plan success!'
