A Journey of Resonance That Begins with Honkai

Ji Zi gently stroked Tianying's hair. She looked at the long-lost golden hair, and then at the girl who had returned to her original appearance. She already understood some facts in her heart.

"However, it seems that you went to Leiying City to find a lot of things this time. For you now, I am also assured that if I am not here, you will be able to live well."

Looking at Jizi's gentle gaze, Tianying's heart darkened, because she remembered that she would indeed leave Jizi's side one day to complete her journey to find her real relatives.

But for now, let her linger for a while longer.

For this short-lived relationship, Tianying wants to remember her for the rest of her life.

"Don't talk about it, Ji Zi." Tianying shook her head, and then a very bright smile appeared on her face.

"But, it's just like what you said, Jizi." Tianying looked straight into Jizi's eyes, and said impatiently, "I found him, he was the one who rescued me after I left Leiying City, and brought me I brought it here."

Tianying didn't intend to tell Jizi the specific incident between her and Tian Nuo, she just wanted to tell the woman in front of her who had been waiting for three years the news of Tian Nuo's return.

"Tiannuo! He told me that he has indeed disappeared from this world in the past three years, that's why he didn't come to Jizi!"

Ji Zi was shocked instantly.

She still can't believe that the person she has been looking for for so long reappeared in front of her at the last moment when her life was threatened, and she fought against the Herrscher with incomparably powerful strength.

That kind of emotion comes from the hope that has been suppressed in the heart, because in some things, Jizi knows that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

What if the appearance of Tian Nuo just now was just a hallucination, what if the person who just appeared was not Tian Nuo but a dream made up by her...

Ji Zi no longer dared to expect anything extravagantly, but it wasn't until Tianying confirmed the fact seriously.

The shackles that imprisoned the hope in her heart were broken in an instant, and silent tears slowly flowed down her cheeks, before the wind and snow froze them, and quietly fell from her jaw.

"Jizi..."

That was the first time Tianying saw Ji Zi shed tears in front of Ji Zi.

But this kind of tears also made Tianying show the weakness that should belong to women for the first time from this woman who has been strong until now.

And just when Tianying wanted to continue to say something.

The group of stone pillars that cut off the human line of sight began to return to the earth.

Amidst the rumble, a well-dressed and uninjured man slowly walked out of the wind and snow.

Chapter 33-The Herrscher's Past

"Is this the so-called necessity of the world?"

Tian Nuo looked at the white-haired Herrscher with a complicated expression.

After hearing Tian Nuo's exclamation, Anna looked at the man's complicated gaze, and then turned her head to the side.

"I don't need your comfort. For me, I only owe this person in this world, so after becoming a Herrscher, I am only willing to obey his orders and live for him alone."

Anna Shaniat.

In the previous destiny, it belonged to the descendants of the three major families that have been passed down from ancient times to the present.

At the age of 16, she became the A-level Valkyrie of Destiny. She has always followed the precepts of her ancestors and charged the first front line against Honkai.

But before the will of Houkai came, a sudden Houkai incident happened in a certain Asian country.

Due to the loss of communication with her superiors, Anna, who was still a member of the Honkai team, witnessed other teammates die at the hands of the Honkai Beast, in front of her.

At that time, the fear of death shrouded the heart of this fledgling girl, but for the orders of her superiors, even if she was the only one left in the whole team, she still had to carry out that task.

——Rescue civilians who failed to escape in time and guide them to safe shelters.

And it was precisely because of the collapse that Anna met a family who came to travel there.

After the Honkai broke out, the parents of that family died under the knives of the dead soldiers in order to cover their two children from fleeing.

As for the two children who ran away, the older brother was called Chen Tianwu, and the younger sister was called Chen Tianwen.

Undoubtedly, it was precisely because at the last moment, Anna looked at Chen Tianwu, who wanted to protect his younger sister even though he was very weak, and the courage to fight against death rose in her heart in vain.

She rescued the siblings and successfully led them to the shelter.

It's just that at that time, Anna, who was still in a state of excitement after defeating her past self, inexplicably agreed to the request of the boy named Chen Tianwu at the last moment.

After she agreed, she took his sister and left this area. In exchange, Chen Tianwu would help Anna search for the people who were still fleeing and lead them to the refuge area.

But when Anna came back to her senses, the boy had already abandoned the promise, and his figure had disappeared at the end of the street.

Holding the promised token in her hand, Anna had no choice but to continue her mission and wait for the boy's return by the way.

But in the end.

When the Houkai ended, Anna never saw the boy again.

She thought that Chen Tianwu was dead, and the death of this young man was a tragedy caused by Anna alone!

Anna didn't know how to face the very naive Chen Tianwen.

At that time, because of the guilt towards Chen Tianwen and the sadness that she was the only one left in the Destiny team, the two mixed emotions defeated Anna's will, and when she woke up from the coma, the lonely Chen Tianwen had been wiped out by the Destiny personnel. There are memories about Houkai, and at the same time, I have forgotten the existence of Anna.

Chen Tianwen, who lost this memory, was sent to an orphanage in Shenzhou as a matter of course.

And Anna, who was already sitting on the helicopter returning to the European headquarters of Destiny, also lost her promise to the dead boy.

Anna has always buried this matter in her heart, and that sense of guilt will erode her heart from time to time.

Until the collapse, the Catholic bishop rebelled.

When the huge organization lost its decision-making and management, Anna, who fled Europe, finally chose to face the guilt of the past and set foot on the land of China.

And not long after, she saw the boy who should have died reappeared in front of her.

The boy still remembered Anna, and expressed full gratitude for her appearance, because she had saved his family.

But when the boy asked where his sister was, Anna was already lost.

Looking at Anna like this, the boy thought that Honkai killed the younger sister who had been entrusted to Anna to take care of him, so he became more courageous in fighting against Honkai.

And Anna maintained this lie by mistake. She stayed by the boy's side and watched him constantly exercise himself under the pressure of his sister's death.

This kind of lie, Anna continued for two years.

Finally, at the beginning of this year, nine months ago today.

A young man who was recognized by the rock-type Houkai weapon and became the lord of Rock City.

In a roster of people buried in the ground, he saw his sister's name and her picture.

The angry teenager called Anna, and Anna knew that the lie she told had come to an end.

after that.

The boy who learned all the truth expelled Anna who had been by his side.

And Anna walked alone in the wilderness, recalling the last stranger's eyes of the boy, her barely maintained soul finally collapsed.

At that moment of collapse, a pair of hands stuffed an ice-blue gem into Anna's body from the void.

Thus, the Herrscher of Ice——Anna Shaniat was born.

Even though the Herrscher of Icefall, who was born out of guilt, lies, and debts, has become such an existence, Anna has already gotten used to being by that boy's side and obeying his orders.

So the Herrscher of Ice returned to the boy's side, and when the Honkai Will told Chen Tianwu with the help of Anna's body, his sister died not at the hands of the Honkai Beast, but at the hands of the Shenzhou people.

Everything has changed.

Anna is used to being a puppet ordered by Honkai Will and Chen Tianwu. She doesn't need to think about anything, she just needs to fulfill her share of debt and let her trembling heart have a little peace.

At this time, under the fear of death coming again, he told this man who suddenly appeared after telling all his past and what happened.

In Anna's heart, for some reason, there was a sudden relief.

Vaguely, she seemed to have seen this black-haired man somewhere.

And Tian Nuo, after listening to these stories that he didn't want to take the initiative to understand, in addition to sighing in his heart, his original view of the Herrscher in front of him was also quietly shattered.

However, the current him did not enlighten the reason and identity of this lawyer.

Therefore, after learning about Chen Tianwu's plan and why he became the Herrscher of Rock, Tian Nuo slowly removed the Thunder Blade from his hand.

"You go."

Tian Nuo took a few steps back, and the hostility in his eyes was gone.

"...You, really let me go?"

A trace of trance flashed in Anna's purple eyes. You must know that she is now a Herrscher, an accomplice who helps the Honkai to wreak havoc on the world and kill human beings.

She thought she would really die here today.

But now it seems that the man in front of him doesn't seem to have any special hatred for Honkai.

Facing Anna's bewilderment, Tian Nuo shook his head.

"My enemy is not you, and the fusion of Honkai and human consciousness may represent the birth of a new existence."

"Honkai is the enemy of human beings, but it doesn't mean that you who have this power must also be."

Tian Nuo took one last look at the white-haired girl, then turned around without the slightest hesitation, and exposed his back in front of the girl.

"You shouldn't live for other people. Regret and guilt can't be filled with actions and emotions."

"You can only choose to keep going, and then be stronger and stronger..."

Tian Nuo's voice slowly disappeared into the ice and snow barrier.

And looking at the leaving back, Anna couldn't recover for a long time.

She seemed to see a resemblance of her own in this man.

But in the end, the distance between human beings and Houkai caused Anna to turn into thousands of ice and snow, and disappeared in the northern region of China with the cold wind.

And outside.

After Tian Nuo came back to the ground.

When he looked at the red-haired woman who turned her head and put her gaze on him.

His heart that had been calm all this time finally started to stir up waves.

The Valkyrie and the captain finally meet again!
