Honkai Impact 3rd: I Am the Saviour

Feeling the abundant Honkai energy within her body, the Herrscher of the Void revealed an inflated smile.

'This little girl, even after so long, is still that naive. Did she really think that those nonsense words I just said were simply meaningless words?'

'Relying on the time just now that I bought, I, the Herrscher of the Void, had already successfully absorbed quite a lot of power from inside the Gem of Conquest.'

'If at the beginning, my winning rate against Kiana was sixty-forty, then now, my winning rate against Kiana is ninety-ten.'

'When the battle starts, if I then take the chance to reclaim the Herrscher of the Void's authority within Kiana's body, then the situation will be hundred-zero!'

'This round, I don't even know how I could lose!'

Thinking of this, the Herrscher of the Void struck a stance and said to Kiana with contempt, "Hmph~ struggle as much as you can~ for this very moment is, the time of judgment!"

However, just as she was preparing to activate the three Herrscher cores in her body, and reclaim her Herrscher powers...

The Herrscher of the Void was shocked to find that the power of the Gem of Conquest had suddenly gone out of her control.

Herrscher of the Void, "What exactly did you do?!"

Facing the Herrscher of the Void's questioning, Kiana replied expressionlessly, "Did you really think your little tricks could deceive me?"

"What?!"

"While you were secretly absorbing power from the Gem of Conquest, wasn't I doing the same?"

Saying this, a delighted smile appeared on Kiana's face, "After all, this gem was once used by him too!"

As Kiana finished speaking, a flame appeared in her palm.

As the flame in her palm dissipated, a fiery red feather appeared in front of the two. Although compared to before, the feather was still somewhat tattered, but the light bursting forth from the feather made the Herrscher of the Void's heart tremble.

'This aura?! It's that man!'

"This is impossible!" the Herrscher of the Void exclaimed.

In her voice of disbelief, Van's figure also appeared before the two of them. Moreover, compared to the illusory figure from before, this time Van's figure was especially real.

This exhilarating scene not only encouraged Kiana, but also made the people of the real world wildly excited.

[Husband!!!]

[Finally waited for you, see? I never gave up!]

[Van: Kids, I'm back.]

[Suddenly feel like Van's repeated disappearances and returns are like Yang doing sit-ups.]

[Back to the Video]

Seeing the man who had once defeated her appear before her once again, the Herrscher of the Void's expression was simply wonderful.

She really didn't expect that the seemingly dumb and silly Kiana would actually pull a "feint in the east, strike in the west" tactic?

In her impression, Kiana didn't seem like someone who would come up with this kind of strategy, so the problem must lie with that damned Van.

Along with the Herrscher of the Void's doubts, the scene returned to a few minutes earlier.

In fact, at the very moment when the puppet of the Herrscher of Domination brought out the Gem of Conquest, Kiana had already sensed a reaction from the feather in her body.

Right after that, Van's voice rang by her ear...

And that was the reason Kiana had shown such a surprised expression.

And it was exactly that expression which made the puppet mistakenly think Kiana's mind had suffered a heavy blow. Thus leading to the awakening of the Herrscher of the Void hidden deep in Kiana's consciousness.

After a brief exchange, Kiana learned that the Gem of Conquest could help restore Van, and she also received Van's tactical suggestion to stall for time with the Herrscher of the Void.

What Kiana didn't expect was, before she could even find an excuse to stall, the Herrscher of the Void herself had started sparring verbally with her.

Talk about someone handing over a pillow when you're sleepy.

———

Although it sounds strange, the people in the real world were truly impressed by Kiana's cleverness.

[LOL, the real clown was actually the Herrscher of the Void herself]

[Herrscher of the Void, Watch me ambush her! Huh? Why am I the one ambushed!]

[The Herrscher of the Void probably forgot one thing, Kiana is a grasshopper, and so is she~]

[Who's Kiana's teammate? The strongest fusion warrior in the story so far, Van! Who's the Herrscher of the Void's teammate? A mob of misfits from the real world! You think this is a fair match?!]

[Back to the Video]

After realizing she had been tricked, the Herrscher of the Void could only swallow her frustration along with her pride.

However, just when the Herrscher of the Void was mentally preparing herself to be righteously beaten up, Kiana suddenly stepped forward and asked Van to let her handle this battle alone.

"Van, let me handle this fight alone."

Kiana requested seriously, "This is something between me and the Herrscher of the Void. I want to bring it to a true end, and also draw a conclusion for my own past."

To this, Van nodded in relief and smiled, "Go, Kiana. Do what you want to do. I'll always be your support."

As he said this, Van even subconsciously glanced at the Herrscher of the Void, the meaning behind it was self-evident.

The conversation between the two made the Herrscher of the Void furious beyond words.

'Usually I'm the one who looks down on others, and now I'm the one being looked down on? And that damned man, what kind of gaze was that? Was he threatening me?'

'Saying things like "let Kiana handle it herself," but still silently protecting her! As expected, men's mouths are full of lies!'

'But… what is this feeling of envy supposed to mean?!'

Suddenly, a flash of memory unique to Sirin surfaced in the Herrscher of the Void's mind. And the origin of that memory was from the Second Honkai Eruption in the year 2000...

At that time, it seemed like she had once experienced a kind of emotion called "family affection."

Regrettably, the face of the man who made her feel familial warmth had already become blurry.

But now, there was no more time to recall the past, because she still had a fated showdown waiting for her.

Looking at Kiana holding a fiery red broken sword, and at the figure always guarding behind her, the Herrscher of the Void's golden pupils slightly trembled.

Some kind of unfamiliar emotion surged deep in her consciousness, making her frown unknowingly.

She seemed to see, on the snowy plains of Siberia in 2000, a certain blurry figure once reached out a warm hand toward her.

But in the next moment, that illusion was swallowed by overwhelming hatred.

"What a… disgusting scene." The Herrscher of the Void lifted her proud chin, her expression still scornful. "But fine by me. Since you insist on facing this alone..."

"Then… let the real usurper of this body come forth, and end this ridiculous farce!"
