Chapter 174: "Kiana Reaction Videos"

When the news that Kiana had left the sea of ​​quanta spread everywhere, several people close to her became worried, and they tried to visit her.

Take advantage of the free time they have. Thea, who had been thinking about this for several days, finally chose to reveal a little secret of hers.

A secret she never talked about to anyone.

Pulling Kiana entered the stigmata room and sat casually on the living room sofa. Thea, who saw Kiana sitting some distance from her, frowned in dissatisfaction.

After all, she was currently about to reveal the secret. Why are you sitting so far away? You make me feel so very awkward!

"What's wrong with you? Come here, come closer."

Kiana shook her head quickly: "Ehem! Sis, I think we need to keep our distance."

Thea became increasingly dissatisfied: "What kind of nonsense are you saying. Did you take the wrong medicine today? Since when did I ever say that you could defy my orders?"

Speaking in a domineering tone as usual. Thea pulled Kiana close, and she could see Kiana's face turning red slowly.

Kiana's body felt very stiff. For some reason, Thea felt that there was something strange about her little sister.

"What's wrong with you, are your feelings still sensitive now after crying?"

"I'm not crying!"

"Then don't make such a strange expression! You make me feel strange too! Your weird!"

"Hum!"

Kiana snorted in annoyance.

Returns to the main topic, and continues what she wants to talk about at the moment. Thea started to get serious.

"Listen, what I want to reveal to you now is my deepest secret. You may currently still be confused about the meaning of all the dream fragments you have received regarding the Will of Honkai. So I'm going to help you make things a little clearer."

"You mean?"

"Just look, you'll have to judge for yourself."

Projecting her memories onto the big screen of the television in the living room. Kiana and Thea, who were sitting close to each other, started watching a memory recording video that was playing on the television screen.

"[Mei! As long as there is Mei, our strength will be equal to the strength of a hundred knights!]"

"[O-One hundred... I'm not super woman...]"

"[But as long as I'm with Mei, it feels like my strength increases a hundredfold!]"

"[Really, only Kiana would say something like that.]"

Kiana: "....??"

Looking at the television screen, and seeing herself hugging the adult version of Mei intimately. Kiana, who was sitting on the sofa, raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"What is this? Why I don't remember saying this to sister Mei before? Besides, I'm pretty sure that sister Mei hasn't grown up that pretty yet! Liars also have their limits!"

Thea: "...."

Immediately understood that Kiana might think that what was on the television screen was a fabrication made to deceive her. Thea immediately grabbed Kiana's head in annoyance.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! That hurts!"

"Please sit down, and don't make any decisions quickly! I'm not lying to you at all!"

"Then what is that!? If you don't want to trick me, then what am I watching right now!? What do you want!"

Thea's throat tightened, and she looked to the side doubtfully.

"I just wanted to show you something. Please, just take a look, and give me your opinion."

Kiana: "Sis?"

Stop struggling, and feel that something is wrong with Thea. Kiana, who felt her heart suddenly become restless, began to sit down obediently.

Anyway, let's just watch it.

Watching memory tapes won't hurt you at all, right?

Thea explained: "What you are watching right now are some memory fragments belonging to me. I don't know how to explain it. But, you can think of it as a documentary video, a video... Without me."

"Just look, and give me your opinion okay?"

This time, Thea's tone had a hint of pleading.

Kiana, who saw Thea's vulnerable condition once again, could only nod her head obediently.

"Thank you, Kiana."

What Thea wanted to tell Kiana using tv was the main plot line of the original Honkai Impact.

This is her deepest secret.

Thea wanted Kiana to see all of this, and hoped that this would answer all the doubts and confusion that had been accumulating and stored in her mind.

In the beginning, although Thea already knew that she was drawing the line at hostility with the Will of Honkai, she was not very afraid of this creature that could not even possess the entity.

The Will of Honkai is currently known to have two methods, having the authority to control who will become a Herrscher, and the other is increasing the honkai energy in a civilization if it is deemed to be able to bear its power.

After learning that the Will of Honkai's actions were very limited and had no offensive attacks at all. In the original story, both Otto and Raiden Mei were very brave and behaved very arrogantly.

After all, even though you have near-omnipotent power, you are still a crippled patient. You want to beat me up? You don't even have offensive type spells, muggel!

You can't even touch the grass!

Thea had always thought in the same way as this before. But, after she fought the Will of Honkai in the sea of ​​quanta, she realized that she had been too naive.

Although the Will of Honkai in this game doesn't have any offensive power, and can't even control the newborn Herrscher because of the sacrifice of that pink-haired Jesus. It is still a very deadly enemy.

Just like the story in the original plot in Siberia where Otto suddenly knelt in front the Will of Honkai, and considered it a god because it had given him knowledge beyond the limits of human knowledge.

Providing direct information to others, and brainwashing them with tons of abundant information was a truly terrifying forbidden technique.

If used correctly, then whoever the Will of Honkai chooses around Thea, then that person will definitely not be themselves anymore.

This was a total brainwashing attack that was completely undefendable.

Just look at Kiana's current condition.

When reading Kiana's memories, especially memories in the third world. Thea discovered that the Will of Honkai had tried to change Kiana's memory several times.

This of course made Thea very angry.

Will of Honkai continued to instill in Kiana the idea that the only way out to face a crisis like that was to become a Herrscher of Flamescion, and... this plan worked.

Her stupid little sister became a Herrscher very easily. It was so easy, in fact, that Thea wanted to slap Kiana in the face several times for being so easily deceived.

There was also the Will of Honkai, how could Thea not be furious when she saw her sister being cheated by that bastard so openly?

Although the purpose of the Will of Honkai in providing memories of fragments of several main story plots to Kiana is still unknown. This of course had aroused her vigilance.

Whatever it was planning, it definitely wasn't a good thing for any of them.

So...

After thinking about it carefully over the past few days, Thea decided to give Kiana the full spoiler of the original story.

At least, this wouldn't make Kiana confused and make her take the wrong steps under the guidance of the remaining memories given by the Will of Honkai.

This is the most optimal solution.

Yes...

This is the best solution.

Thea: "...."

She clenched her fists nervously.

Of course Kiana didn't know how Thea was struggling mentally at the moment. How much courage to reveal this secret to her. What she knew was that she was currently watching a film with herself as one of the main characters.

This made her feel interested.

Leaning her head on Thea's shoulder lazily. Kiana, who had known several conflicts such as fighting with Wendy, the very weak Herrscher of Wind, and also watching Otto's conspiracy, clicked her tongue in annoyance.

In any world, and in any film, such a blond man is really not a good person.

Continue watching the plot, and get a little carried away with the main story which is getting heated. Kiana, who saw the CG animation "Queen Comes" on the screen, suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"[Ki... Kian... Na... Wake... Wake up...]"

"[Humans, your existence is a mistake.]"

"[War, cheating, jealousy, greed.]"

"[You once made me lose everything.]"

"[But today, I will devour everything, because I am the honkai!]"

....

"Oi oi! Isn't this Aurora?! Why is she so arrogant! How dare she strangle sister Mei! Damn, I'll deal with you later when I'm healed!!"

Kiana, who was carried away by the atmosphere, suddenly forgot that she was just watching a video.

What she knew was that her sister needed a beating to fix it!

"Then let's continue watching."

Thea updated her memory, and the two of them began to watch some of the main plot stories quietly.

____

Final Lesson.

"[Kiana, everything would have changed once you woke up.]"

"[The world will no longer be a pretty place.]"

"[Life as you know it will be replaced by something else.]"

"[But... Don't ever, never give up!]"

....

Watching this video, Kiana was suddenly silent for a long time, and when she saw the withered body falling and drifting in the sea of ​​Imaginary, Kiana's eyes suddenly became blurry.

"What the hell... I killed teacher Himeko? I... I did it?"

Kiana looked at her hands in disbelief.

When she raised her head again to look at the screen, Kiana suddenly had an epiphany that came from nowhere, opening her narrow brain wide.

"No, the one who killed teacher Himeko was Aurora! Damn it! I didn't kill her! Aurora give me back my teacher, you bastard!!!"

Kiana shouted angrily.

At this time, her hatred for Aurora rose to a new level. She knew that her sister was a little evil by nature, but she never expected that her sister would be this evil!

Kiana immediately decided that after she left the stigmata room, she would go straight to Aurora to invite her to a duel!

Bloodshed must be made!

"Don't get too carried away, there are still lots of videos. Just watch them one by one."

Stroking Kiana's head gently, and smiling slightly. Thea, who saw that Kiana was really absorbed in what she was watching, could only take a deep breath to get rid of all her anxiety.

They proceed to watch the video.

Cyberangel: ZERO Exception.

"[This is the sea of ​​quanta...]"

"[Bronya... Will save you... Seele...]"

....

"[Seele... Bronya is her for you.]"

....

Kiana reaction: "Bronya is so handsome! Wait, she's also a Herrscher? Gan! There's a traitor in our school! We have to catch her and control her so she doesn't go wild!"

Thea comment: "You're a Herrscher too you idiot."

----

Seele, Dual Ego.

"[This door won't open, you can't save her, that's enough...]"

"[Big sister Bronya... Hiks... You promised... to take me to the sea... Move... Come on you pathetic!]"

"[I'm begging you... the other me... Lend me your strength to save Bronya, she protected us every time!!! Please!!!]"

"[You are hopeless without me, hum!]"

....

Kiana reaction: "Woo... Seele also has another personality? Why do I feel so jealous... Wait, I have one too! I'm sorry sister, you are a thousand better than her, please don't be angry!"

Thea comment: "...."

----

Meteoric Salvation.

"[Where are you running to? No matter where, you will only be destined to be my vessel.]"

"[I... I will not be your vessel!]"

"[Kiana... Calm down, don't let her control you.]"

"[....]"

....

Kiana reaction: "Ah... It turns out I'm so pathetic. Hum, what's the point of killing yourself, before you die, at least kill that bastard Otto first! Do you want to become a vengeful ghost!? Don't be a crybaby!"

Thea comment: "....Aren't you too hard on yourself?"

Kiana looked aside: "Sister, you were the one who taught me that we should beat criminals to death. I learned from you."

Thea cried: "I'm sorry for being a bad example of a big sister... You shouldn't be like this... Hiks..."

----

Lament of the Fallen.

"[I won't... Let you go!]"

"[How? You could barely stand.]"

"[With... my fists!]"

....

Kiana reaction: "Yes! Yes! Beat her up sister Mei! That's how to discipline a naughty child! Do you think acting pitiful can solve anything? The strongest fist is justice! Don't give her mercy!"

"Wooo!!! Sister Mei is so cool! Wait a minute... I think the one who was beaten earlier was me? Wuuu... I'm sorry sister Mei..."

Thea comment: "....Isn't your mood changing too fast? Who are you actually supporting!"

Kiana was still crying: "Of course sister Mei! I'm just afraid she will get this bad later! Wuuuu... This punch looks really hurtful... Sister Mei please stop..."

Thea: "...."

you deserve it.

----

Reawakening.

"[My past was nothing but a failure. Those I wanted to protect, all... Perished!]"

"[Only the remorse etched on one's mind. Can make one emerge from their pupa.]"

"[I will now transform this world into one I desire with my one hand!]"

"[You are...]"

"[Can't recognize me anymore... Kiana?]"

....

Kiana reaction: "I don't know who you are, but you give off a really mean villain vibe. You look really cool."

Thea comment: "... I forgot that this grandmother is still wandering out there. Maybe I should meet her with Grandpa Kevin so she doesn't do anything wrong."

----

Shattered Samsara.

"[Thank you Kiana... leave the Herrscher to me.]"

"[The illusion is dissolving. You must return.]"

"[Maybe this is the last time... We say goodbye.]"

"[Wait Fu Hua! There should be other ways!]"

"[Perhaps... But this is my mission.]"

....

"[Enough, why is it always like this? Trading sacrifices for so-called victories... it's unacceptable...]"

"[Give Fu Hua, back to me!]"

....

"[Shut up! Then I'll wreck her good again! Wanna run away from me? I won't let it!]"

....

Kiana reaction: "Sis I swear that the person flirting with the other girl in the video was not me! I am a loyal person! Trust me!"

Thea reaction: "...."

Kiana cried: Sis please don't stay away~! I am truly a loyal person, this is slander! This is slander!!!"

Thea was confused: "Why are you telling me all this? What is the connection?"

----

Everlasting Flames.

"[I won't... Surrender to you!]"

"[They all have fallen, you're the last!]"

"[I... Won't give up! They never give up... Now it's my turn, to do what I gotta do!]"

"[To tell them, that they made, the right choice!]"

....

"[It sure isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but there are people who've taught me to never give up!]"

"[They've been guiding me and showing me all the beautiful things in the world.]"

"[I love them! And I love what they love!]"

"[We're connected by this sword, it will burn up the darkness, to make way for light!]"

"[This will be.. our path... BACK HOME!]"

....

Kiana reaction: "Ah... this is almost the same as my dream... So this is really what you wanted to say to me, big sister?"

Thea comment: "Yeah, you finally understand. So what do you think?"

Kiana who saw the single-haired girl, with a large sword that brought hope in her hand. Clenched her hands tightly.

"I won't be her. I will protect everyone, and won't make anyone sacrifice for me."

"I promise, that will make this story perfect, and will not make anyone suffer another tragedy."

"This is my oath."

Thea was confused: "The real world is not as beautiful as what you are talking about Kiana. Tragedy is always everywhere."

Kiana smiled: "But you will help me, right? I can't, but if you are there, the two of us can do anything!"

Thea snorted: "What nonsense. Well... who told you to be my little sister? I'll help you."

Kiana was happy: "Hehehe, thank you Big sister! I know that I can always rely on you!"

Kiana felt very happy, and she clenched Thea's hand tightly.

----

Graduation Trip.

"[When a story is about to end, we will always think of its beginning.]"

"[Just like the past.]"

...

"[Just like now, right?]"

....

Watch until the end, until the television screen goes out. Kiana, who had been silent all this time, finally started to speak.

Kiana reaction: "Is it over? I became the Cocoon of Finality? Oh... Anyway, I've always been curious, when did Otto die? Why was he on the train! My soul will never be at peace until I see him die with my own eyes!"

"Where did that Otto go!!!"

Thea comment: "...."

Seeing Kiana start banging on the TV angrily. Thea, who couldn't stand the roar of anger, chose to show another video as a closing.

----

Thus Spoke Apocalypse.

"[The world tortures heroes... And nurtures evil people. The world is filled with ugliness, without any beauty.]"

"[The world's evil, will be wiped out by villain!]"

....

"[Once the soul disappears, one cannot be revived.]"

"[The world allows thoughts to find new vessels, but does not allow vessels to collect lost thoughts.]"

"[To save her... I can only create new possibilities in the past..]"

"[A new future... Will.. be her.]"

....

"[Kallen...]"

"[Live...]"

....

The television screen went black.

Kiana reaction: "Yeah... how should I say, he is a villain, but he deserves to be respected."

"In any case, when we meet again next time, I will definitely kill him without hesitation! Big sister, don't get in my way!"

"Damn it, you think this blood debt can be erased that easily!? Give me back my teacher Himeko you damn yellow haired dog! You think I'll be sad to see you sacrifice your life for Kallen? I just want to laugh out loud over your grave!"

"All the tragedies in my life are all because of you! Eat this gun kata technique of mine, and meet your lover in the underworld! Don't thank me!"

Seeing Kiana being so aggressive towards Otto. Thea, who had been anxiously waiting for Kiana's answer, somehow felt a little relieved.

"Then after watching all these videos, what is your conclusion, Kiana?"

Kiana clenched her fists tightly: "I know what I currently need! Big sister, let's kill Otto as quickly as possible! This person is too dangerous to keep living! For my happiness, for everyone's safety, we must sacrifice his life to the sky!"

Thea's reaction: "Prfff...~"

Kiana was confused: "Sis, why are you laughing? Is there something funny?"

Laughed out loud, ignoring Kiana who looked at her with a strange look. All of Thea's nervousness about revealing her secret disappeared, and she now felt completely free.

It turned out that she was the only one who thought this memory was important...

What a load of bullshit.

She wiped away the tears that had gathered in the corners of her eyes.

"As expected my little sister! Let's kill Otto together!"

Thea raised her thumb up, and she smiled broadly.
