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

Time goes forward.

"Rita, why are we retreating?"

On the Immortal Blade fighter, Alicia, who had turned on the stealth function, was leaning against the wall in the corner.

After hearing that Kiana was captured, Alicia ran out in a hurry.

It's not that she doesn't trust others, or that she doesn't believe that Saint Freya's people can save her.

However, she didn't want Kiana to stay in Tianming for too long.

In other words, she didn't want Xilin in Kiana's body to stay there for too long.

As a Herrscher, she could easily guess what would happen to her when she was brought to Destiny.

Although it was just golden pupils, she was not 100% sure it was her.

But if there is a possibility...

Besides, even if it wasn't Xilin, she would still save her. After all, Qiana was Cecilia's daughter.

"After all, Siegfried has admitted it..." she thought to herself.

Soon, the fighter planes arrived at the Tianming headquarters.

"Hmm? Rita?" Yulandel asked doubtfully, "Did someone pass by me just now?"

"It's just a gust of wind." Rita simply replied.

When Alicia realized that she was not exposed, she quickly fled from here.

She now has to determine Kiana's location.

What she didn't notice was that Rita's mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes were looking at the place where Alicia had just stood.

"Let's go, Rita, we have to report our mission to the bishop."

Rita came back to her senses: "Well, Master Yulandel, I will take you to see the bishop."

-

"Bishop, the Second Herrscher has been captured by me..."

Standing at the door of the office of the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny, Alicia listened to the conversation inside the room.

When she heard about the Second Herrscher, Alicia seemed to be lifted up in one breath.

"Really...it's her..."

But she knew that she couldn't act impulsively now.

If you just rush over, you won't be able to save people, and you'll also be left hanging.

She hid aside. Soon, Fu Hua came out, followed by Otto.

Seeing the figure carried by Fu Hua, she wanted to rush over right away.

But she forced herself to stay calm. There was more than one S-rank Valkyrie in the Destiny Headquarters.

And she couldn't even deal with one of them. Besides, infiltration was her specialty.

Relying on her own speed, she has already gained some talent in this area.

Plus Padu's frequent teachings,

Although she usually only used this skill to purchase goods, for her, this skill was her most useful one for this operation.

"Laboratory..." Alicia remembered the location, but she was not in a hurry to go there.

She wanted to wait until Otto returned to the office before rescuing him. This was the safest option.

and……

boom!

There was a sound of bombing outside.

"Is it them?" Alicia thought that it was Saint Freya's people who came. "Only one branch came to rescue people..."

"Really..." Naive?

She really wanted to say that, but if it were her, she would probably do something pretty similar, right?

Soon, the sounds of bombing, gunfire, and fighting could be heard outside.

But Bishop Tianming still did not return to his office.

"Why hasn't this guy come back yet..." She was almost tired of hiding.

In this kind of environment, people will always be nervous, even if the invisibility is turned on.

But this is what others see. From her own perspective, she can only see herself standing in the corridor.

Maybe we don't know when it will appear. In this case, people will be under great pressure.

Just when she was anxious, Rita and Yulandel passed by her.

But she didn't come out of any door she saw.

But...

"A wall?" She never imagined that there would be a hidden door not far from the Bishop of Tianming's office.

She approached the place and heard faint sounds coming from inside.

After hearing the voice clearly, she widened her eyes under the mask.

"How can it be……"

She saw Otto go from the bishop's office to the laboratory.

But Otto's voice came from behind the door.

Maybe she was mistaken, and Otto had actually returned a long time ago?

Or maybe it’s because the laboratory is connected to the secret room?

All kinds of speculations echoed in Alicia's mind.

The voice inside gave her the answer.

"Young Herrscher..." Otto chuckled, "You attacked the enemy without fully understanding him."

"I ended up falling into a trap. What a waste of power."

There was a rustling sound of writing coming from inside.

"According to current analysis, the power of the Unknown Herrscher is to control people's minds and then their bodies."

"It will stabilize the host's body when needed, and dissipate when not needed, while it will detach from the host's body and parasitize other more suitable hosts..." Otto muttered to himself while watching the surveillance in the laboratory, and then continued to write something with a pen.

"Just like... the iron wire worm that often lives in the body of the mantis, what is its weakness? The iron wire worm will come out of the mantis' body when it encounters water because it needs to live in a water environment."

"What about the Herrscher? Will the same apply..."

"Well, let's give this Herrscher a name first. Let's call her the Parasitic Herrscher."

Otto closed the book and the talking stopped abruptly.

Outside, Alicia was already in a state of panic.

"Hersher... That's right, it's the Herrsher!" Thinking of the information he had obtained from the World Serpent, and hearing Otto's analysis,

Everything fell into place.

The Herrscher controlled Otto, but that was a fake Otto. Everything was just to trap the Herrscher.

And Otto's body dissipated and replaced with a more suitable host...

More suitable...

Without thinking any further, Alicia ran towards the laboratory.

in the secret room,

Otto's mouth curled up, he picked up the notebook again and opened it.

The words "Parasitic Herrscher" were placed on it, and his analysis was also on the side.

But he didn't read these, instead he turned the book to the front.

"It can give humanity to other Herrschers and bring back their former consciousness."

"Even the way to obtain the power of other Herrschers is just through the most basic devouring..."

"But his body is too weak, even weaker than that of an ordinary person," Otto read the records in the notebook, and then the voice stopped.

There are only two lines left on the notebook.

Speculation: Whether it is capable of using other Herrscher cores to strengthen its own body.

Name: The Ruler of Man.

Otto then chuckled: "Young Herrscher... just like that, you fell into a trap."

"I hope... the result will be as I hoped."

-

laboratory,

The door is opened,

The space gradually distorted, and then a figure appeared.

"Xilin..." I finally found you.

When she was about to achieve her goal, she was extremely excited.

Since then, she has been thinking about bringing her back.

She finally...

Alicia placed her hand on the experimental chamber, and the withered power gathered.

Can……

boom!

The experimental chamber exploded, and the liquid that enveloped Kiana flowed all over the floor.

She picked up the weak girl.

Take her...

But not everything goes as one wishes.

"Then!" Mo Yu controlled the only hand she could control, "The game begins!"

puff!

When Alicia was not prepared, Kiana dug a big hole in her already fragile body at the chest...
