Primarch and Honkai Impact

"Really."

"That bastard keeps torturing me every day. I just owe him some money."

"Even now, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it off in my lifetime."

The only good thing was that Zero never pushed.

"Alas, when will such days end?"

The mall was crowded with people. Cecilia, Kiana and Xilin were walking among the dazzling array of clothing racks, excitedly choosing new clothes.

Everyone was holding several packed clothes in their hands, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Cecilia looked elegant and graceful in a white long dress.

Kiana, on the other hand, looked energetic in stylish jeans and a T-shirt.

Xilin was wearing a cute dress, looking playful and adorable. They tried on different styles of clothes in front of the mirror, gave each other advice and shared their fashion insights.

"This is a good one..."

"Or is the one just now better?"

"I think every one of them looks great, Mom."

Kiana said with shining eyes as she looked at the pretty little skirt.

“It’s really difficult.”

Cecilia said with an embarrassed expression.

"My daughter looks so good in everything she wears. I really want to buy all these clothes."

"How does this dress look?"

Xilin showed off in a red dress.

"My daughter has great taste. You are the cutest thing in the world in this dress."

"Come, let mommy hug you."

Cecilia opened her arms and was about to hug Xilin.

Xilin took a few steps back.

"and many more..."

"No."

"No...don't hug me, I don't want to be hugged."

Xilin suddenly said in a panic, rejecting Cecilia's embrace.

"Celine, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey, I get it, you're just shy!"

"That's right...that's right." Seeing Xilin's expression, Qiana also said, and at the same time threw herself into Cecilia's arms.

"If you don't hold me, I will."

"You!"

Cecilia gently touched Qiana's head and said, "You are already so old, and you still fight with your sister..."

Cecilia turned her head and looked at Xilin, who was walking towards the dressing room. Her eyes dimmed a little, as if she was thinking about something.

Recently, Zero has reminded himself more than once that this place seems to be fake, an illusion.

But could it be that Zero is also in this illusion?

"Oh~!"

Sitting on a chair outside the mall, Siegfried sighed with a worried look on his face.

What happened to the convenience store that day?

And what does that man mean by "reality that should be protected"?

He and Ling had become so cold and indifferent at that time, totally different from their usual self.

What's going on? I can't dream in broad daylight.

"Siegfried, what are you thinking about?"

"Now I feel that my life is very happy and fulfilling, and I am very content."

"Siegfried, the real world is heading towards destruction step by step."

Walter’s voice suddenly came out.

"you are?"

Siegfried looked at Walter who appeared in front of him again.

"Siegfried, every second you stay here, the reality becomes more critical."

"Or do you intend to give up the fight? Meaning in this hypocritical dream."

Siegfried looked at Walter in horror, muttering, "What are you talking about?" Before he finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became dim, as if shrouded by a mysterious shadow. The originally bright light gradually disappeared, leaving only a few faint rays that barely illuminated their surroundings.

Siegfried's heartbeat became faster and faster, and he looked around nervously, trying to find a clue or explanation. An inexplicable fear spread in his heart, and he felt an invisible pressure gradually approaching.

In the darkness, there was a faint strange sound, as if something was approaching. Siegfried's breathing became rapid, his hands clenched unconsciously, and his body trembled slightly. At this moment, his brain was working rapidly, desperately thinking about how to deal with this sudden change.

As the shadows deepened, the atmosphere became more oppressive, and Siegfried's nerves were stretched to the limit. He opened his eyes wide, trying to discern any possible danger in the darkness. However, there was only endless darkness before him, making him feel helpless and confused.

Zigfrey felt a cool sensation on his left hand.

Raising his right hand, Siegfried saw an arm that had transformed into a Honkai beast.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

Siegfried almost screamed, and the horrifying sound immediately shattered all the glass in the mall.

“Explode…explode!”

Xilin, who was in the mall, looked coldly at the glass fragments that kept falling from the mall.

"Tsk, this little glass shard wants to hurt me."

Just when Xilin was preparing to activate the Herrscher ability and the imaginary barrier for defense.

"Sirin!"

"What are you doing?"

When Cecilia saw that Xilin seemed to be standing there in a daze, she immediately rushed over, hugged Xilin and protected her under her body.

"Cecilia, be careful!"

As the large piece of glass in the photo fell, Zero spread the feather wings behind him and protected Kiana firmly under him.

Shards of glass slid down like raindrops and landed on Cecilia.

There were many wounds left on Xia's body.

Xilin stood there stupidly, staring at Cecilia with dull eyes.

Her figure became blurred in front of my eyes, as if time had frozen. I saw Cecilia put her body above Xilin without hesitation, like an indestructible wall.

Her movements were so swift and firm that Xilin didn't even have time to react.

Cecilia's eyes revealed a kind of firmness and determination, and she seemed to have no fear at all. She curled up tightly and used her body to block the impact of the glass fragments.

Xilin could see the glass shards scratching her back and arms, leaving tiny wounds, but she didn't utter a single groan.

Her expression was calm and firm, as if telling Xilin: "Don't worry, I will protect you." At that moment, Xilin felt her selflessness and bravery, and her actions deeply moved me.

Under Cecilia's protection, Xilin was safe and sound without any harm. Cecilia silently endured all the pain and danger. Her body trembled slightly, but she still held on firmly.

Xilin watched all this in a daze.

When more debris was about to fall, Zero and Kiana came to the two of them and spread their wings to wrap them up.

"wing..."

"How is it possible... How can humans have such a thing..."
