Honkai Impact started when Kiana came to Honkai Academy

This doesn't mean that she can let go of it, at least she can't do it without anything happening.

But Rita wasn't wrong.

The entangled dissatisfaction between the imaginary spaces began to affect Hollandelle's mood.

When she was 12 years old, she opened her heart to Rita once under the fantasy starry sky of World Bubble.

"How should I put it? Just think that I have obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"Ah, I hate to explain myself like this - I also know that I have some problems with my character, and I can also imagine that in five or ten years, I may become a rather boring person because of this..."

"But this is the only way I know to make myself stronger."

"I need to get stronger, get really, really strong."

"My relatives, my teachers, my fellow Valkyrie...many of them are no longer here."

"Each of their lives came to an abrupt end, as if they were destroyed by some evil will that transcended the world, just like tearing up waste paper."

"I hate it, so I want to do the best I can in whatever they can't do."

"..."

Memories surged like waves and began to hit her brain.

She couldn't explain why she trusted Rita at that time, just like she couldn't explain now why she subconsciously distrusted Rita.

As she continues to achieve her goals, strives to become calmer, more grounded, more rational, and becomes an existence that is difficult to approach in the eyes of others, it is Rita who is approaching her.

At that time, Rita's approach should not only be for the mission.

Before she had time to think more, memories of Teresa came one after another.

What follows is the memory of the conversation between Otto and Siegfried.

She already knew her fate of being fooled, but when she saw the process, she could not help but feel angry and aware of the absurdity.

The intertwining of these memories did not let her break her guard. Even if she saw Cecilia from Siegfried's perspective, she would not break her guard.

until……

The memory of Captain Shakespeare from her own perspective appeared.

...

...

"Hey, are you in a daze here?"

"Hey! Don't approach people suddenly from behind, Captain!"

Bianca, who was only 12 years old, was dissatisfied with Captain Shakespeare's teasing. The latter smiled and said: "Because you look a bit dull. Why, are you starting to miss home?"

"Just thinking about the future."

"Does it mean after you return to your original world?"

"Absolutely. Maybe this is not something a normal person would think about at the age of 12, but I can't turn a blind eye to what I have already thought of." Bianca said.

Shakespeare smiled and said: "Well, after all, we have indeed encountered many difficult-to-explain situations in the past two days."

"But, how to put it, there's nothing shameful about being precocious in some ways, right?"

Bianca had no intention of paying attention to Shakespeare's teasing. She asked directly: "Then, let me ask straight to the point. In your opinion, captain, why are people born in this world?"

"Wow, this question is really straightforward. How should I put it, although the registration form can be filled out by hand, we can't choose our real birthday." Shakespeare paused and said: "Let's talk about it. The topic is, why does life have to be meaningful?"

"You can also say that. If you think about it, everyone is born into this world without their own choice, and most of them die without their own choice."

Bianca paused: "And you also said not long ago that the meaning of self, humanity, the world, and the universe cannot be measured by results."

"For ourselves, all meaning will eventually sink into nothingness; for everything we love, we will not be able to protect them forever in the long river of time."

"Perhaps for some people, the answer to this question lies in 'belief', but it is difficult for me to really believe in some metaphysical abstract concept."

Bianca's words couldn't help but make Shakespeare smile.

She pondered and replied seriously: "How should I put it? You are actually the type of person who thinks too much."

"You have to know that if you just talk about things, you already believe in the values ​​of truth, goodness and beauty more than most ordinary people."

"Of course, for civilization, truth, goodness and beauty can be found as the so-called greatest common denominator; but for individuals, it is ultimately an ungrounded thing."

"I mean, everyone will have their own interests and concerns, and they are imperfect existences like the Greek gods. But only in this way will human possibilities expand, and human civilization will always have vitality."

"After all, we can only protect some things within our capabilities... But this is not the end of meaning, but the beginning of it."

Shakespeare's words shocked Bianca.

"It's not the end, but the beginning?"

Shakespeare explained it this way: "Yes. The meaning of being a human being as a whole and the meaning of being an individual are two completely opposite things. You can understand it as a mosaic collage, and the connection between the single mosaic itself."

"Every life that one thinks is wonderful is a side note of civilization; behind every self-satisfaction is someone who leaves a shadow in history."

Bianca couldn't help but ask: "But this only explains the meaning of civilization, but it still cannot explain the meaning of living itself."

"That's natural. After all, the so-called life will never have any innate meaning."

Shakespeare gave a natural answer.

"You didn't directly say that life is meaningless."

Shakespeare said seriously: "See? We don't live as something... We live to be something."

“Being able to give meaning to meaningless things is what makes us uniquely human.”

"So, what you want to say is that our life is a process of constantly searching for a better version of ourselves?" Bianca couldn't help but say.

"Yes, because it never ends, some people compare it with Sisyphus pushing the boulder." Shakespeare directly stated his results: "In their myth, Sisyphus tried his best to push the boulder. Go up a mountain and then watch helplessly as boulders roll down the mountain, over and over again.”

"But even those people would admit that although Sisyphus was trapped in a perpetual cycle of pain, his life seemed worthless. But this did not deprive Sisyphus himself of forging an anti-god, Praise the meaning of freedom in life.”

"When you abandon consequentialism, you will find that Sisyphus did live the meaning of life, and he thus obtained the most fundamental happiness of mankind."

Bianca was a little confused: "You mean, realizing that your life is not in vain, or at least realizing that you are happy in a meaningless struggle?"

Shakespeare laughed loudly: "Of course. In everyone's life journey, this is the greatest kind of struggle!"

Chapter 192: The last inheritance of the stigmata ([-])

"I am the will of this space, some kind of derivative of the stigmata - the explanations above are just a complicated stack of terms to you."

When Hollandelle traveled through various memories and finally returned to the original place, a huge black Homu-like puppet appeared in front of her.

She recognized it as the first voice in her mind.

It describes itself and the stigmata like this: "Just like to you, the stigmata itself is just a fate that came from 5 years ago and was engraved into the DNA."

"You think your will is free, but that freedom is often just a cognitive illusion, the inevitable result of fateful impulse."

"But now that you've shown up, I can beat you right here."

Youlandel naturally remembered that her original purpose of coming from this dimension was to accept the inheritance of the stigmata.

"Hahahaha, these words are really direct." Black Homu laughed: "But you are right. After defeating me, you can get the inheritance of the stigmata, and even have real freedom, and gain the ability to face the gods directly. the power of."

"but……"

It said: "I'm afraid attacks in the usual sense will not have an effect on me."

Youlandel frowned: "You need me to defeat you according to the rules you set?"

This is not difficult. Just like when she was training at the Blade of Immortality, she also had to adapt to some rules and prohibit the use of some powers.Otherwise, the training effect on her will be greatly reduced.

The black Homu said lightly: "You can say that, although I am not the one who constructed this space and made such rules."

"Everything I try hard to do is just to guide his descendants and the successors of that special stigmata."

Youlandel quickly guessed the person's name.

Kevin Kaslana.

Obviously, this is a space similar to the stigmata space, except that it is not attached to a certain stigmata holder, but is close to the tree of imaginary numbers and is about to become a complete world.

"His bloodline has passed down a special kind of sacred mark to this day, giving birth to this space and giving birth to the person I am now."

"You can definitely understand what kind of existence he is."

Homu's words made Youlandel fall into deep thought.

Before meeting Kevin, although she was not proud, it was difficult to find an opponent who could use all her strength.However, after finding Kevin based on Otto's words, she felt confident in her heart and knew that she might not be able to shake that man with all her strength.

"Do you still remember the memories you saw along the way?"

Homu's words brought You Landel's thoughts back: "They are the past that appears around you as the entire space rises and falls. They are the waves I stir up in the sea of ​​memory. They also represent that in this space, The more you explore, the more you date, get closer to me and be bound by me.”

Youlandel saw many acquaintances in her memory.

And these memories are proof that she is bound.

"For this group of people, the original stigmata was inherited in their blood, and therefore they were deeply cursed by the source of history."

"Because they share this extremely special bloodline, they were spontaneously collected by me and added to this stigmata space called Kaslana."

"Now that you are here, you must completely liberate Kaslana's stigmata and use that power to defeat me."

"Otherwise, even I can't let you leave."

Black Homu's warning made Youlandel frown.

Although she already knows her identity and past, she still doesn't know how to use Kaslana's stigmata and what kind of power it has.

Stigma is a very special thing. The special thing about this thing is that it records the memory and genes of the heroes who once fought against the Honkai Impact, allowing the dead to 'alive' in a special form of consciousness. The most important thing is that it records the memory and genes of the heroes who once fought against the Honkai Impact. Yes, the deep power of the Stigmata can even rival the Herrscher.

Some people have speculated that when MEI was able to create stigmata, it was because a complete Herrscher was studied by MEI and the Herrscher's deep secrets were discovered.

The holder of the stigmata is a different kind of Herrscher reserve.

Alternatively, the holder of the stigmata himself is a Herrscher whose position is on the human side.

However, despite the powerful power bred in the stigmata, Hollandel did not use it excessively. In fact, she was completely unknown and completely unfamiliar with this power.

She followed Black Homu's instructions and attacked it, but she still used her own special moves.

However, in this space, except for Kaslana's stigmata, the rest of the power has been weakened.

Apart from……

The legacy of Shaniyat.

This is also the reason why Otto said that Hollander is the perfect finished product of the Stigma Project.

...

...

At this moment, the old headquarters of Destiny, Klosten.

The Hyperion from the Far East Branch and the Moonlight Throne from the Anti-Entropy Salt Lake Base began to move towards here.

They were all invited by Otto. To be precise, Otto invited only one person, and this person involved a lot of people.

Kiana Kaslana.

For Theresa, Himeko and others, Kiana is a close person; for the two anti-entropy doctors, they don't want another big collapse to happen.

But Otto's reason for inviting Kiana Kaslana here is very surprising, even ridiculous.

He said that he could give Kiana a chance to face Honkai and have a fair competition.

"It is undoubtedly a fool's errand to think of surpassing the real person with the shadow of imaginary numbers."

This is what Otto told everyone through Kiana's mouth.

There is no doubt that it is not realistic to be able to use Stigma or Herrscher to fight against Honkai itself.However, Kiana was a surprise.

Among the many Herrschers, only the Herrscher of the Void is closest to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

If you want to defeat Honkai, you must rely on Kiana's power.

However, Otto did not say a word about the process of defeating Honkai.

"All the answers will be revealed in Klosten, that's what Bishop Otto said to me."

On the Hyperion, Kiana said to everyone: "I don't know what Otto will do, so I need everyone to help me identify the truth in his words this time."
