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

“…” After the video finished playing, neither of them spoke and the atmosphere fell into silence.

"I'll go and take care of her... I'll definitely be able to do it this time." Xilin was about to go alone, but Fu Hua grabbed her wrist from behind.

"But no one can guarantee that she won't use other tricks, and no one can guarantee...if you fail again this time, can you come back safely." She sighed and said, "So we should take a long-term view. At least this time, you can't go alone."

"But I can't do that," Xilin said. "I know that her only target now is me. If she finds anyone who is not Xilin, she might drop the meteorite directly. I don't want to... see this happen..."

For the promise made to her...

But when I think of what the Herrscher said at that time...

"In order to keep the promises of others, you gave up yourself and imitated others to the extreme. This is what you are now."

"Is this... right?" Xilin couldn't help but reflect, "Master... I'll go and rest for a while."

After that, she returned to the room she had been in before, crossed her legs, and began to think.

Since that incident, her actions, goals, and motivations have all been to fulfill the promise of building a better future.

She has been doing this for the past few months.

"Have I really ceased to be myself?"

Thinking about my usual attire, clothes, and decorations, I could see the shadows of those two people...

Maybe this will continue...

Then, she thought of what Fu Hua had said to her.

"Xilin, if you want to master the Taixu Sword God, you must have your own sword heart. The most important thing is to be yourself and keep your original heart."

"My true heart..."

“Have I followed my heart in everything I do?”

Or is it just because of the agreement?

Do not,

That's not the case.

I want to protect them, the people I care about.

Because of……

They gave me warmth.

Images flashed through Xilin's mind.

The faces of each person flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

These...are all people she is familiar with.

Cecilia... maybe your love is too abrupt, but I feel the warmth in it sincerely, maybe... I am happy to be your daughter,

Master... Senior Sister... Thank you for trusting me when I was in pain and giving me some hope again.

Bronya, and everyone from Anti-Entropy and World Serpent, I know I haven't been with you for a long time, and I don't know you too well, but I can see that you have accepted me, and not...rejected me because of what happened in the past. Thank you.

Mei, although I don't know why you made that choice, I still believe that you are still that gentle person, so I chose to do my best to keep you.

Kiana, thank you for your companionship over the years, which allowed me to...let go of my hatred. Although you are a fool, you still taught me a lot. Thank you.

Ai Li, thank you for coming into my life at the darkest time, allowing me to maintain my sanity, preventing me from doing something that I cannot turn back from, and allowing me to feel the warmth of all this.

And, to so many other people, you have given me hope for this world again, and let me know that human beings are not synonymous with ugliness.

and so……

I want to protect them, protect this world, and fight for the beauty of the world.

This is the agreement...

"It's also my own will..." Xilin slowly opened her eyes and pushed open the door.

Fu Hua was still waiting for her outside, and when she saw the person in front of her, she was a little surprised.

"Xilin...you..."

"Well, Master, I understand... the sword heart." Xilin nodded and continued, "But, this is still Xilin's business, so that guy still needs to be left to Xilin to deal with..."

After saying that, she gave a peculiar smile.

-

A ray of light appeared in the sky, proving that the sun is about to rise and a new day is coming.

It also indicates that the night is about to end.

The Herrscher lazily lay in mid-air. Seeing a figure approaching from a distance, she raised her head.

Looking at the white-haired girl walking out of the sunset glow, her attire was still the same as before.

This disappointed her.

"Really? You've made me wait for so long, but you still haven't made any progress."

But the other party did not speak, which made the Herrscher angry.

"Why, the little dog that I beat up during the day is so angry that he can't speak now?"

But still no one paid attention to her.

"Damn you..." She gathered power in her hands, "Go to hell!"

Wind blades shot out from her hands, and the opponent dodged quickly, leaving only a few strands of hair falling to the ground.

Then, she used the power of Thunder Law again to weave a lightning net and threw it towards the opponent.

The opponent used a portal to avoid the attack, and the location of the portal was right above her head.

She picked up an Argon Spear and slashed at the Herrscher.

The Herrscher used an imaginary barrier to block the attack, then condensed a fireball and fired it at the opponent.

But she reacted quickly. When the portal quickly transferred the fireball away, she used Creation again and used vines to trap the Herrscher.

But within a few seconds, the raging flames burned the vine.

Then the Herrscher didn't hesitate, stepped forward, grabbed the opponent's neck, and pulled him down.

When they met face to face, the Herrscher finally saw the other person's face clearly in the early morning before dawn.

In other words, seeing the other person's blue eyes clearly, there was also a kind of silliness that Xilin didn't have.

(Kiana:???)

"You are not her..."

"It's too late to see clearly now. You actually said that my appearance is ugly..." Kiana kicked back hard, broke free, then landed and jumped up again, raising her feet high, "neko charm!"

The huge cat claw slapped down, but for the Herrscher, this little damage was insignificant.

And now, she only cares about one thing, "Where is she? Why did you come here?"

"Why? Do you think I'm too weak to be your opponent?" Kiana said with her arms folded, "But you don't have to worry about that. After all..."

Pfft,

The Herrscher clearly felt that her body had been pierced. She looked down at the Sub-Earth Spear that had pierced her, and then turned to look at the person who had attacked her from behind.

"Xilin's problems should be solved by Xilin." Xilin, who had returned to her own body, said with a smile in the back.

Let's go back a few hours.

"Master, I have a guess."

"That is, whether the Herrscher of Consciousness can transfer consciousness."

When Fu Hua heard this, she guessed, "You want to..."

"That's right, Kiana, it's time to come back."
