Honkai Impact: You still owe me a dance

(Gan! It turns out that Klosten has always been written as Klosten. It gives me a headache. I won’t change it!)

"Hey, Theresa, it's been so long. You're finally here."

Looking at the girl wearing a nun's uniform in front of her, Theresa was speechless for a moment, because her appearance was almost engraved in Theresa's mind.

"Kaka...Grandma Kallen?!"

"Although in terms of seniority, I am indeed your grandma, but I always feel that it is strange for you to call me grandma when I am still a teenager."

This person exists in the Oath of Judah as a soul, Karen Kaslana.

"But that's it. It should be said that this is our first meeting, Theresa."

As Kallen walked towards Teresa, the nun's uniform she wore also changed into the attire she wore when she was doing the Phantom Thieves.

"Grandma Kallen, where is this place? And why do you appear here?"

"Here? Shouldn't you know better than me?"

As soon as Kallen finished speaking, Theresa suddenly raised her head and looked around as if she suddenly understood something.

"This...is the inside of Judas!?"

Theresa was a little confused when she reacted. Although she knew that Judas could be used in many ways, this was the first time she had encountered this situation.

"This is indeed the inside of the covenant of Judah."

Teresa, who was affirmed by Kallen, had an expression that didn't think this was true at all.

"But why is there such a big space inside Judas?"

Theresa always felt a little strange looking at this space that looked like St. Freya's Church but was not quite St. Freya's Church.

"I basically built this place based on your perspective. After all, I have stayed here long enough."

Kallen just waved her hand, and the two walked out of St. Freya's Church, while the outside was a golden space.

"Grandma Kallen? So are you really Grandma Kallen?"

"Well, five hundred years ago, at the moment I died, I seemed to be attracted by something and came to this space. When I woke up, it was already the time when you had the oath of Judas. Later I I can only observe the current world through your perspective.”

"Eh!"

Theresa was happy that Kallen was still alive at first, but her words made Theresa feel something was wrong for a moment.

If Kallen has really been observing the world through her perspective, then the fact that she secretly read comics in the office of St. Freya Academy is also...

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about you reading comics in the office."

Karen's words confirmed Theresa's point of view without a doubt.

"Then Grandma Karen, why do I appear here?"

In order to avoid embarrassment, Theresa immediately started to change the topic.

"Mainly because you have temporarily lost consciousness, and after the Judas' Oath you just used, I can temporarily pull you here. And I am sorry for what Otto did to you, and I apologize to him on his behalf. You apologize."

At this time, Kallen suddenly bowed ninety degrees, simply apologizing for what Otto had done.

"No, no, what grandpa does is none of grandma's business."

Teresa wanted to help Kallen, but Kallen refused Teresa's help.

"That's true, but after all, he did that kind of thing just to resurrect me, so I naturally have to apologize to you on his behalf."

Theresa could also clearly feel Kallen's apology.

"After all, grandpa's love for grandma is also very real."

Theresa also knew how important Kallen was in Otto's eyes.

"I know, but his love for me is so heavy that I can't bear it at all."

Kallen also knew these things, but what Otto did to others was really too much.

"grandmother......."

"It doesn't matter. Although I don't recognize Otto, you can indeed say that he is my descendant, so there is no problem if you call me grandma."

Kallen rubbed Theresa's head and was quite happy to see this offspring that belonged to her.

"Okay, it's almost time for you to go back. Under Bai Hua's treatment, your body has almost recovered."

"Grandma Karen, if this is the case now, is it possible for you to be resurrected? If you can go back, maybe grandpa won't..."

"Theresa, it's already too late now. Maybe there's still a possibility that I can return to reality, but it's already too late."

The moment Theresa was in a daze, she returned to reality.

"grandmother!"

Theresa's sudden exclamation even startled Xi'er who was helping her treat her.

"Senior Theresa, are you okay? Your body can't move around yet."

Xi'er subconsciously took two steps back, but then immediately returned to Theresa's side and continued to use white flowers to restore her body.

"I am..."

Theresa had some doubts about whether the memory just now was true or false.

"Huh? It seems that now I can have a conversation with you like this."

"Grandma Kallen!"

Theresa exclaimed once again. After looking around, there was no trace of Kallen.

"Stop looking. I can only temporarily contact you through Judas's oath."

"Hey, little dwarf! Don't move around, you almost hurt me!"

Theresa's action just now almost hurt Xi'er, who was being treated with white flowers, so 'Xie'er' appeared immediately and directly pushed Theresa to the ground again.

"Sorry, Xi'er."

Theresa also knew that she had affected Xi'er's treatment, so she could only lie down on her own.

At the same time, inside the church, Kiana and Hollander also returned to reality.

"Well done, Bianca, Kiana."

Hollander and Kiana, who thought they had dealt with Otto, heard Otto's voice again.

"This voice——"

"Otto?"

"Don't be nervous...two powerful warriors."

Otto seemed to be calming the two of them, and his words were very gentle.

"You did reverse the rules of the false gods in an instant, turning my spirit into the lonely ghost that I am now. Soon, everything will be settled according to your will... So here Before that, I want to congratulate you.”

Otto took a deep breath and continued.

"Congratulations to you for defeating domination and restraint. Congratulations to you for preventing me from destroying your history and compatriots. Of course...congratulations to myself too, for finally being able to say the final farewell to my life without any regrets."

"Bishop, we stopped that crazy plan you mentioned."

Hollander is very serious and is even looking for Otto's wronged soul.

"Ha...you are quite persistent, Bianca. Why, now that things have come to this - you still don't want to treat me as an enemy?"

"Of course I can't forgive you for the things you did to me. But I will never forget the cultivation you did to me. And, I still think... deep down in my heart, you responded with a certain form of belief in what you taught us to believe."

"Ha...Stubborn boy."

"To be honest, from the beginning of today, I hope that all of you can stand on the opposite side of me and treat me as a heinous person. Although the former did succeed, the latter also failed. Alas, Should I feel annoyed or relieved? Old friend, I didn’t expect that I would still lose to you at the end."

Otto's tone was still very emotional, but it made Kiana and Hollander feel as if the teacher was satisfied with the successful students.

"In any case, you did defeat me, and you also defeated Him behind me at that moment. This is an amazing achievement. Using those experiences, you will eventually defeat Honkai and bring lasting peace to the world you cherish. Light. And I will finally have the opportunity... to do something similar to the world I hold dear. To put a lost torch back into His hands, to be precise."

"she?"

"Could it be that......"

Kiana and Hollander looked around in shock.

"Hahaha, it seems that you have all guessed the answer, right? But Bianca, there is one thing that I should tell you at this almost final moment. Your training was not part of my plan. One, it’s just a deal between me and him.”

"Could it be..."

Otto's words made Hollandel unable to react for a moment.

"When Bai Yan brought you back to Tianming, I had already reached a deal with him. To give you a suitable identity and a chance to choose your own life. Originally, in the beginning, although I did want to The idea of ​​​​using you, but with that guy always looking after you, even if I want to use you, I have no chance."

"And you guessed it right. When you chose to become the Destined Valkyrie, almost all of your training plans were arranged by him alone."

Otto's voice paused and then continued.

"And... Kiana. Maybe you already know that your identity has always been under the supervision of Tianming. It's just because of Bai Yan's warning that I wouldn't be with you." I took action before I turned eighteen, but his disappearance made me unable to help but start my own plan. But on the day I defeated you, all my bodies made of soul steel were destroyed by Bai Yan and Xilin. , but they didn’t take action against me.”

"That guy keeps saying that your life is up to you, but in fact, he has almost arranged everything for you since your birth. Including but not limited to Bianca, your adventure into the Quantum Sea, And Kiana, you went berserk for the first time, and you were abandoned by Siegfried for the first time."

Otto's words caused Hollander and Kiana to fall into silence.

But within a few seconds, Kiana reacted.

"But so what, even if our lives are arranged by him, he will not use us to do the same thing as you. Brother Bai Yan is Brother Bai Yan."

Although Kiana still believed in what Bai Yan did, Otto's words at the next moment silenced her.

"Hahahaha! Kiana, although you are much smarter, you are also wrong! What that guy Bai Yan did is exactly the same as me! The only difference is that I fought against Honkai Impact , and he is the one who created the law!"

"Create...Herrscher!?"

Youlandel and Kiana also frowned.

"Yes, the condition of his deal with me from the very beginning was to create Herrschers. Including you, Raiden Mei, Bronya, Wendy, Siren and all subsequent Herrschers, they were almost all part of his plan. Among them. And its purpose is to use all the Herrscher cores to bring his loved ones back to this world. As for what he has done, you probably know better than me - the death of everyone in Water City. "

Otto's explanation actually made Kiana breathe a sigh of relief.

"But I believe that even if Brother Bai Yan can do this, he will definitely take action in the future."

Kiana doesn't believe Bai Yan. She already knows the relationship between Alicia and Bai Yan. Alicia's love for humans cannot be fake. If Bai Yan really does such a thing, Alicia I will definitely be angry.

"If that's the case, then that's fine. But you have to be careful about him. Before I was crushed by you, even though I was infinitely close to God, I was ultimately just a slave to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. I was firmly bound to the original world, even though He does have the power to reshape it, but he has no freedom at all. But he is not. While he has the power of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, I am a slave, but he is the master."

"So, I made such a bet from the beginning... I bet that human will can create instant miracles and disrupt the "laws" of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers in that short moment. , impressed by it. "

"Kiana Kaslana. The child I once called K423. In the past, the power of love has allowed you to do this. Now, I have proven that anger can do the same thing. I put the resurrection card Ren's last hope was to bet on... and the facts proved that I did win the bet. Only the Herrscher of the Sky can create a miracle, which makes everything that was originally "infinite" stop in an instant and "renormalizes the imaginary number space". one."

"It allows the wedge of the world, the origin that I carefully chose, to take root and sprout in the new soil. This is something I could not do no matter what when I was in power but a slave. thing."

Otto's voice became weaker and weaker, and he could hardly speak clearly.

"That is to say... In order to reshape the world five hundred years ago, you must transcend reality, become part of the imaginary number space, and become a "slave" of the imaginary number tree... But since you said that Senior Bai Yan is an imaginary number The owner of the tree, then why don't you seek his help. "

Hollander also realized that this was Otto's own path to death.

"And in order to change that world and change that person's destiny, you have to exile yourself from it? Even if the result of doing so... you will die. Even your "existence" will completely come to an end. "

"He will only give me some help. Of course, don't you think everyone is happy now?.... Farewell..."

When Otto spoke later, his voice became inaudible.

The man's aura completely disappeared from the girl's face. Under their gaze, his soul drifted into the distance, towards nothingness, and towards his final destiny.

After seeing the result of Otto's attack on the tree, Bai Yan and Alicia remained silent as before.

"Xiao Bai, help him. Okay? At least give him a better ending.?"

Alicia held Bai Yan's hand. Although what Otto did made her feel very uncomfortable, his love for Karen also made Alicia admit what he had done.

"Well, I had already guessed that you would say that."

Bai Yan snapped his fingers, and the branches of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers that had been extended by Otto once again gave off a dazzling light.

And with the flickering of light, the world extended by Otto has undergone some changes. Otto, who originally belonged to the original world, has become the Otto of that era.

Otto, who was almost reborn, looked at his young body and fell into silence for a moment.

But after just thinking about it for a few seconds, he already realized who did this.

"Thank you, old friend."

"It's not that I don't want you to return to the original world, but even if you return to the original world, she will be disgusted. It's better to start over in this world."

Bai Yan's words also sounded in Otto's heart.

"Well, Kallen and Theresa will trouble you."

Otto himself knew that Kallen's soul remained in Judah's oath, and naturally knew that everything he had done over the years was known to Kallen, but there was no turning back from this path. So there was only one thing he could do.

"Um......"

When Bai Yan opened his eyes again, Alicia had already shown a satisfied smile.

"Ellie, if you do this, you will be satisfied."

"uh-huh.?"

Looking at Alicia holding his arms, Bai Yan also raised his hand and pinched Alicia's face.

"Then let's go. The lovely Miss Mei and the other Alicia are waiting for the arrival of Miss Pink Fairy.?"

"Let's go. But before leaving, let's take a look at Kiana and the others."

"good.?"

Bai Yan and Alicia once again appeared in Klosten's church.

After several days of rainy weather, the sun finally broke through the thick clouds, casting a few rays of light on the small town of Klosten. The traces left by the battle have been washed away by the rain, and this ancient town has returned to calm. It seems that nothing has changed, but it is indeed no longer the same as before.

Theresa was wandering alone in the streets of Klosten. She had just finished a day's meeting and was extremely tired.

"Lady Theresa, did today's meeting go smoothly?"

"Well, all the problems on the schedule have been solved. Don't worry, it's just a routine process. There is nothing smooth or not. But then again, why are you here, Amber?"

While Amber and Theresa were working together, Theresa was also wandering around Klosten alone.

"What's wrong, our Archbishop Tianming, is he so free to go shopping in the town today?"

After Theresa wandered around for a while, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Bai...Bai Yan!"

"Oh, it seems that after becoming the Archbishop of Destiny, I didn't forget about the villain. This really scares me."

Bai Yan and Alicia jumped down from the roof and came to Theresa.

"Get out!!! I haven't even settled the accounts with you for robbing my Saint Freya!"

Teresa suddenly took out the Oath of Judas and threw it directly at Bai Yan.

"Hey, hey, don't be like this, there are still people watching!"

Although being chased and beaten by Theresa, Bai Yan even ignored Alicia beside Bai Yan.

At Bai Yan's reminder, Theresa noticed Alicia, who was smiling while covering her mouth while watching the two of them playing around.

"This is the first time we meet. My name is Alicia. Just call me Aili or Alicia, Miss Theresa. Oh, no, should I be called Bishop?"

"No, no, just call me Theresa."

Alicia also playfully teased Theresa, but her words made Theresa feel uncomfortable all over.

"Then Theresa, do you mind if I give you a hug?"

"Ah? It's not impossible."

Theresa didn't know how to reject Alicia who was already in front of her. When she subconsciously looked at Bai Yan, Bai Yan just gave her a self-satisfied expression.

It's just that Theresa didn't understand it yet, but in the next second, Alicia hugged Theresa, who was only meters tall.

Theresa had only felt this feeling from one person before, and that was when Rita met her.

"As expected of Theresa, her skin is indeed very good!"

Alicia’s cheeks and Theresa’s cheeks rubbed against each other. But Alicia didn't say anything. After rutting for a while, Theresa put her down.

"Bai Yan, what's going on with this guy!?"

After landing, Teresa subconsciously shrank behind Bai Yan and asked in a low voice beside him.

"Her? Didn't I tell you, Alicia, the second in the pre-civilized Fire Chasing Thirteen Heroes, a flawless pink girl who likes all the beautiful things in the world. But she especially likes cute girls and beautiful girls. Just a girl."

Bai Yan patted Theresa on the head, indicating that Alicia could hear the conversation between the two.

After sorting out her thoughts for a while, Theresa looked at Bai Yan in front of her and asked seriously.

"So, why do you want to take St. Freya Academy into your own hands?"
