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

"Hey~ What's that saying? You never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident."

under the setting sun,

A huge golden gear was rotating in the sky, exerting the power of the Key of God on the ruins below.

The blue-haired girl was pacing in the room, mumbling to herself.

"But, isn't that what life is like? There is always uncertainty."

"Just like you were still planning how to make a comeback, the next moment I will destroy all your hopes..."

“That expression of shattered hope, coupled with the afterglow of the setting sun, isn’t it a beautiful sight?”

"So, will you shut up?"

"Hmm?" Hearing the voice, she slowly turned around and looked at the half-kneeling, red figure. "Ah, you're not dead yet?"

"I thought that you, who entrusted the Herrscher Core to me, wouldn't be able to last more than a few minutes in this Divine Grace Boundary." Then, she suddenly clapped her hands, as if she had thought of something, "Oh, I forgot, my dear Sister Theresa, it seems that your skills are still activated~"

Theresa, who was standing by, was shaking so much that she couldn't shake any more. Her body simply couldn't support her in creating such a large-scale barrier for such a long time.

But she was dominated and had no control over her body.

Just like the other people being dominated, the moment the line entangles them, they become nothing more than another kind of puppet.

"However, I am a kind person. Since you have accomplished your goal, you can have a good rest." Nadia patted Theresa's shoulder.

At the moment Theresa received the order, the gears in the sky collapsed instantly, and her body could no longer bear it and fell to the ground.

"You bastard!" Ji Zi wanted to stand up, but she had already used up all her strength, and in the end she just staggered on the spot.

Seeing this, Nadia smiled and said, "Why? Are you unhappy seeing me do this? Then just stand up and continue to fight with me."

"But you can't do it. You can't do anything right now. When you fuse your core, you might still be able to fight. But now, you can only look at me with this expression, wanting to kill me ten thousand times in your heart."

At this point, she suddenly laughed, the kind of laughter that could not be suppressed.

"However, I really like your expression. After all, the more resolute your expression is, the happier it will make you feel when you are falling."

"I'm still looking forward to the moment when you fall... But, compared to you, I'd rather see Kiana-chan fall first, and then let you who haven't fallen yet watch her fall... Haha, hahahahahahaha."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and even her calm face was covered with a layer of red.

Then she looked into the distance, towards the place where Kiana had just left.

Then she squatted down, gathered her strength, and jumped in that direction.

And Ji Zi, who couldn't hold on and fell down, just as she said, she couldn't do anything now. The only thing she could do was to believe in Kiana.

-

“Ha…ha…” Figures shuttled through the building, “We must…we must be quick…”

She thought of the task that Teacher Jizi had given her - to go to Tianming for help as soon as possible.

Although the floating island over there was destroyed, there is still a lot of fighting power. If we can ask for help in time...

Kiana wiped her face, and the water stains soaked her gloves. She didn't know whether it was the sweat from her fists that were tightly gripping the Herrscher's Core.

Or the tears welling up in my eyes,

She thought of the conversation at that time.

……

"No, Mr. Himeko, if you do that, you will..."

"Kiana, this is an order, a mission, now just tell me if you can complete it!"

Explosions sounded outside, and the Divine Grace barrier had begun to affect the two.

Kiana knew that she had to make a choice...

"I will complete the mission. I will bring people here as soon as possible, Teacher Jizi... I will save you."

"Well...I believe you."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Ji Zi just smiled at Kiana and said nothing more...

……

"I will save you, I will save you, so wait for me..."

"They can't wait for you." The voice came from behind, and with it came the soul-shaking warmth.

The colorful flames came,

Kiana quickly dodged to the side, but was still burned a little.

The piercing pain made her bend down unconsciously, but she quickly adjusted herself and took out the Spear of the Sub-Earth from space to fight back.

But the effect was minimal. The black substance on Nadia's body seemed to be able to resist all attacks.

But her current goal is not to defeat the person in front of her, but...

"You... still want to keep running?" Nadia condensed the black substance on her body into a spear, and colorful flames covered the entire spear.

Then he jumped up, used his gun as a pen, and drew a big circle with the entire city as the center.

She landed on the ground and laughed, "Now, where else can you run to?"

"..."

Kiana clenched the Spear of the Archon tightly. She knew that if she didn't break through the flames...

While she was thinking, something soft rolled down to her feet.

"Ah! My teddy bear!" A child suddenly appeared in the area where the two were confronting each other.

Behind the child, her parents were trying to bring their child back in a panic.

"I seem to have found a new way to play." Nadia gave a twisted smile.

The next moment, she once again merged the flames into her spear and launched a slash at the child.

Kiana was quick to summon a portal, trying to divert the attack.

But that slash directly cut the space door open.

"Wow!!! Mommy!!!" The child burst into tears when he saw this scene.

But the next moment, a black shadow covered her and blocked the attack for her.

"Ah..." Kiana groaned, and the next moment, piercing pain spread throughout her body.

But she endured it, then showed a forced smile, handed the dirty teddy bear to the child, and said, "Go, go back to your mother, you will be safe..."

"Big sister, are you okay..."

"Go!" she shouted.

Because she already felt that the person behind her was approaching...

The severe pain even caused her body to spasm, making it impossible for her to resist the impending fate...

I'm sorry, Teacher Jizi...

I didn't complete the task you assigned to me...

But suddenly, a ray of light was shone on Kiana.

The pain... was relieved?

Before Kiana could figure out the reason, a figure came up behind her.

Use its white wings to block the impending attack.

"Qiana, you'll be safe when you come to your mother..."
