Honkai Impact 3: Rebirth of Ellie, starting with the Tower of Babylon

"Mom, sister, this cake is delicious." On the battleship, Chen Tianwen was holding a cake and chewing it, with cream sticking to the corners of her mouth.

Rita looked at her with a smile, then wiped her with a small handkerchief.

Different from the atmosphere here, Anna and Night Owl seemed much more awkward.

"Um... Lady Rita, what did Lady Yulandel ask me to do? I have asked for leave today, and I applied for leave through the formal channels."

"Anna, of course I know, but Lady Yulandel is very anxious about this test. As long as the test is over, you can continue to enjoy your vacation."

After hearing this, she didn't say anything. It didn't take much time anyway.

After a while,

Destiny Floating Island,

"Wow, this place is so spectacular!" Looking at the high-tech facilities around him, Chen Tianwen jumped inside.

"Sir," Rita turned around and said to Night Owl, "You can walk around here with your relatives."

Night Owl: ...

Is it true that we are letting cadres from another organization wander around?

He thought so, but what he was most worried about was...

He looked at Anna, who nodded, and he had to put his mind at ease.

Nothing can possibly happen at your workplace, right?

He could only sigh, "Hey, Tianwen, run slower."

-

Outside the war room, Anna looked at the long queue of people, and then one person went in and another came out. She was full of questions.

"This is……?"

"Lord Yulandel is selecting a new batch of members for the Undying Blade." Rita explained, "The assessment project is to fight with Lord Yulandel, and then be selected by Yulandel himself."

"..."

"And Miss Anna, you are on the shortlist." Rita said with a smile.

Hearing the news of the battle with Yulandel, Anna's heart started beating fast until,

"Anna, you are here too?" A Valkyrie she knew in the team walked over.

Judging from her excited attitude, it was obvious that she had passed the test.

Seeing this, Anna also responded and then asked

"is it hard?"

The other party understood, nodded and replied, "It's not difficult at all. Lady Yulandel is unarmored and not wearing armor. We can do whatever we want, but since it's a test, I choose to be unarmored as well and only wear a small amount of armor. This way, the chances of passing may be higher."

After saying this, Anna was no longer sleepy.

Anyway, she didn't want to join the Immortal Blade. As long as she had all the armor and weapons, it wouldn't be that difficult. It was just that she would probably fail.

She thought,

Then she secretly calculated the time in her heart. That thing was about to happen. When the time came, she could...

"Next, Anashaniyat."

A call interrupted her thoughts.

"Oh, okay, I'm coming." After saying that, she walked towards the armory...

Inside the battle room,

Yulandel held her forehead and looked at Anna who was fully armed.

"..."

There are two layers of armor.

"Youlandel... My Lord, hello."

"Well, hello." Yulandel twisted her wrist and looked at the clock beside her. "The countdown is over, and the battle is over."

"Ah."

"Then, let's get started."

Anna was full of confidence as she looked at Yulandel who was not wearing any armor. She tightly grasped the spear in her hand, ready to meet Yulandel's attack.

Then, she saw Yulandel's body suddenly floating in the air, shining with dazzling golden light, "Star Casting!"

“(′?д?｀)”

This isn't right, this is definitely not right, Anna thought.

How come this team member wears the star armor?

Without giving her extra time to think, Yulandel rushed directly in front of her.

boom!

"Oh my god, it's so loud." The Valkyries lined up outside the fighting room discussed.

boom!

boom!

"Who just... went in? So miserable?" The people in the queue were frightened when they heard the clanging sounds coming from the battle room.

"Anna."

"This... is it because of a grudge against Lady Yulandel?"

"I see. Lady Yulandel must hate lazy monsters. Anna always asks for leave, so Lady Yulandel wants to teach her a lesson."

“No wonder she made the list.”

"Well..." said a Valkyrie whose legs were shaking from fear, "I also asked for leave a few days ago. I don't know how to..."

Before he could finish, there was another loud noise.

Half of the golden spear pierced through the battle room.

"..."

"Woo woo woo, I quit, I quit!"

Inside the battle room,

"Are you satisfied with this?" Anna, half kneeling on the ground, used one hand to block Yulandel's fist. "Yulandel..."

But it's not that Anna has the strength to directly resist Yulandel.

But...

Yulandel looked at her frozen hand and the snowflakes floating around them, and smiled with satisfaction, "So, can we talk?"

-

"Huh~" Anna blew the hot air out of the cup, "Gudong, Gudong."

"Ha! The tea Rita makes is really delicious."

"Okay, Anna, drink later." Yulandel said across the table.

"I've already said it," the tone of the words was very tough, but Anna still put down the cup obediently and said slowly, "I don't want to participate in those things anymore."

"After a while, when that incident is over, I will fake my own death, and then I will change my name and live in seclusion, or go to that world snake with Tianwu. Everything is up to me, but it has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Anna... do you still remember the oath you made when you joined Skyrim and became a Valkyrie?"

After hearing this, Anna lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "I remember, of course I remember."

Then she stood up, posed for an oath, and said, "I, Anashaniyat, swear here that I will be loyal to God, loyal to the bishop, dedicate my life to the lofty goal, not afraid of hardships, pain, or death. I will bring hope to those who are trapped in disasters and fight for every suffering victim..."

Then, she slowly put down her hand.

"But...if we ourselves can't see hope, how can we bring hope to others? You know the final outcome, don't you?"

"Even if you changed the previous things and reduced the number of casualties in Sky City, what about the end? How are you going to change it?"

"..."

"That's so hopeless..."

Yulandel sighed, "If you want to come back anytime, you can come back anytime."

She also knew that when Anna's so-called "vacation" was over,

Destiny is about to...

They both looked at the floating island outside without saying anything else.
