A Person in Honkai, This Narration Is Not Right / Honkai Scroll Dog Path

So I've added Cocolia-related plot points to this book.

After all, according to the original work, it's unlikely that Cocolia would orchestrate these events and then watch her plans fall apart.

Giving up is even less likely. If she dared to send a horde of Titans to ambush a Herrscher, would she back down?

Then she absolutely had to be present.

Moving on, if Cocolia is causing trouble, the "Chicken Coop and Lobster" duo couldn't possibly be unaware, especially since Longma is already involved.

They wouldn't be at the forefront of this. At such a time, Anti-Entropy would have to find a way to stop Cocolia from pinning the blame on them, so Siegfried would have to be sent out.

And Siegfried appearing in Changkong City isn't that strange. His old friend Longma's daughter is being targeted, and his second daughter is also in danger. With his personality, could he just sit by and do nothing?

Let's continue based on this.

In the original work, Theresa says to trust Major Himeko. Looking at the Second Honkai Eruption, we know that's utter nonsense.

Theresa, wielding a Divine Key, versus Sirin, who had just awakened her powers. The result was that not long after, Sirin had Theresa on the brink of death.

At that time, Old Yang's words made it clear: Siegfried had to take Theresa and leave immediately, or she would be in mortal danger.

An S-rank Valkyrie and a Divine Key were defeated by the Herrscher of the Void in just a few moves. Sending an A-rank with the Nexus system and the Hyperion? Anyone with a brain would know that's suicide.

Furthermore, Otto himself must have known about the Third Honkai Outbreak. As a person with extremely high intelligence, would he really let the Gem of Conquest and a Herrscher be sent to Anti-Entropy?

That's clearly impossible.

Referring to the Moon Shadow arc, I actually feel the plot there isn't as logical as later arcs, but at least some parts of it are normal.

Otto, upon learning that Cocolia was close to creating the Herrscher of Death, immediately had Durandal prepare for battle.

At that time, Fu Hua was still near K423. You could say this was double insurance.

So, if his intelligence is normal, it's only logical that he would dispatch sufficient personnel in Changkong City.

Promoting Rita to S-rank is my own creative addition, there's nothing to say about that. However, she is a genius herself, so reaching S-rank a few months to a year earlier isn't a big problem.

Also, for those who have read the "Escape from Changkong" arc, you know that the arc itself has very little plot, with many blank spaces.

With so many blank spaces, I, as the author, feel that these are places where I can fill in... Well, not as the author, but as a fanfic writer trying to make a quick buck, I think it's fine to fill in some of the plot gaps according to my own understanding, right?

Or would everyone prefer that I write a "true-to-original" Changkong City plot where Theresa allows her old friend Himeko to be killed by a Herrscher, Otto, a shrewd schemer, doesn't prepare and ensure the Gem of Conquest and K423 return to Schicksal, Cocolia, the mastermind, does nothing while Raiden Mei is captured by Schicksal, the "Lobster and Chicken Coop" duo turn a blind eye to Cocolia's disregard for human life, and Siegfried, knowing his friend's daughter and his own daughter are in danger, does nothing?

Fanfiction should respect the original work, that's true, but fanfiction can't be written exactly like the original.

Especially not an early original work with so many loopholes.

To put it bluntly, if I were to write it exactly like the "Escape from Changkong" arc, it would be a disrespect to the later plot points and settings.

When did it become a problem for fanfiction to include supplementary plot points based on speculation from the original work...

One more thing needs to be clarified.

This book is fanfiction, and some changes to settings and plot are unavoidable.

If there are any inconsistencies in the settings, I apologize in advance.

But there's one thing I have to say, even if it offends people.

While it's true that my understanding of the settings might not be comprehensive, leading to things turning out this way, I doubt even Mihoyo's writers could perfectly clarify all the preceding and succeeding settings.

Here are a few questions.

1. Are the Four Great Gems the four fragments of the Herrscher of the Void, or independent cores?

2. Was Karen's father, Francis Kaslana, alive or dead before Karen's death?

3. Was the Third Honkai Outbreak in 2014, 2010, or 2011?

4. When Siegfried defected from Schicksal, was Kiana two years old or older?

5. In the main story, is the head of the Apocalypse clan Otto or Theresa?

6. Was the Oath of Judah created by Otto or by the previous civilization?

7. Did Siegfried actually touch the butts of all the Valkyries on the Hyperion?

Now, it's time to reveal the answers.

1. Are the Four Great Gems the four fragments of the Herrscher of the Void, or independent cores?

The answer is both.

The difference is that the main story explicitly stated early on that the Four Great Gems were the four fragments of the Herrscher of the Void [even mentioning a theory that she couldn't use her full power because she only had a quarter of the core], and then the manga changed it to each being an independent gem core.

2. Was Karen's father, Francis Kaslana, alive or dead before Karen's death?

The answer is both.

The difference is that in the Sakura Remembrance arc, in Schicksal's database, Karen clearly mentions when she was captured for execution, "It's useless, Father has already made his decision," clearly indicating that Francis was alive at the time.

However, in the Violet Everlasting arc, it's explicitly stated that Francis perished in an attempt to take down Honkai Beasts along with the Flame-Chaser's Judgment when Otto and Karen were young.

Of course, some might say that the database can be easily altered.

The question is, why would Otto alter the database to state that Francis was alive and had made the decision for Karen to die?

In the story, it's explicitly mentioned that Otto regarded Francis as a god and held genuine respect for him. There's no reason he would slander his father-in-law five hundred years later.

So, in reality, both existed simultaneously, and then they clashed.

3. Was the Third Honkai Outbreak in 2014, 2010, or 2011?

The answer is, all of them existed.

The official timeline states that the game begins two years after the Third Honkai Outbreak, so normally it would be 2014.

However, the Japanese official book for Honkai Impact 3rd also mentions outbreak times of 2010/2011 for the Third Honkai Outbreak.

Yes, you read that right. This one book mentions two different outbreak times for the Third Honkai Outbreak.

Therefore, all these dates exist.

4. When Siegfried defected from Schicksal, was Kiana two years old or older?

The main story mentions Siegfried fled with people in '06, but the Japanese official book also states Siegfried left when his daughter was two years old.

5. In the main story, who is the head of the Apocalypse clan, Otto or Theresa?

This is still from the official book.

The official book states Otto is the head of the clan, while the main story says Theresa is the head.

6. Was Oath of Judah made by Otto or the previous civilization?

The manga clearly states that Otto made Oath of Judah for Kallen, and it later became a Divine Key from the previous civilization.

7. Did Siegfried really touch the butts of all the Valkyries on the Hyperion?

The Moon Shadow chapter - Miracle Interview mentions, "Siegfried is indeed someone who could touch the butts of all the Valkyries on the Hyperion and act like nothing happened."

Later, it was spun as Shigure Kira spreading rumors.

Both also exist simultaneously.

After saying all this, I just want to say that it's precisely because I've read too many settings and official plots that I can't distinguish which is which.

MiHoYo constantly retcons things, and then an official book comes out that looks like it was never proofread, so it's no wonder it gives you a headache.

I don't think you can blame me. It's so messy, even the official creators might not be able to tell.

So, I can only roughly follow the plot progression and make up some details myself. If you expect me to write exactly according to the original work, you'd be better off reading a fan edit.

I don't mean to look down on fan edits; I see them as a mature literary style.

I just feel that changes are inevitable in fanfiction. If you want to read the original, unadulterated text, then a fan edit is more suitable for that kind of reader.

I've complained a lot today, and I apologize again to everyone.

As compensation, I'll post five more chapters tonight, making it ten chapters in twenty-four hours.

[Sixth Chapter]Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cocolia, You Deserve to Die!

At this moment, facing Kiana's request, Cocolia at ME Company couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of Lord Cecilia's daughter, she's indeed difficult to deal with."

"However, it's a pity. Your request was also within my predictions."

In the end, even if you are Lord Cecilia's daughter, you are still just a little girl.

You, who have been wandering around looking for your father, would naturally ask to contact him upon meeting someone 'familiar with your father.'

Therefore, I've already prepared AI-synthesized voice recordings.

As long as I have my people respond according to my instructions, dealing with this little girl won't be a problem.

Even Cocolia had prepared synthesized images, aiming for absolute certainty.

As long as she could lure Kiana to her side, even if the little girl discovered something was wrong, Cocolia would simply suppress her herself.

As for why she wanted to take Kiana back to her side.

Her reason for not wanting her savior's daughter to die in the Third Honkai Outbreak was indeed genuine.

But that doesn't mean it was Cocolia's only reason for trying to take Kiana.

According to intelligence obtained from Bronya's electronic warfare, Siegfried has already appeared in Changkong City.

And Siegfried's appearance here is definitely not to help Cocolia.

Hmph, in the end, those who associate with those conservative old fossils can't understand my good intentions.

If I can get his daughter under my control first, then that guy won't dare to act rashly.

"I promise you, contacting Siegfried is not a problem."

At this moment, Cocolia signaled one of her subordinates to activate the voice system and immediately issued a command.

"Hi, Kiana, it's your old man, Siegfried Kaslana."

"Long time no see, have you missed me during this time?"

"Huh?"

At this moment, in the eyes of the mercenaries, the young girl before them showed a look of surprise.

"Dad... Dad? Is it really you?"

"Of course, the real deal, my dear daughter."

Hmph, get real.

First off, 'Stinky Dad' wouldn't formally introduce himself by his full name, and he definitely wouldn't call himself 'Stinky Dad'.

Secondly, 'Stinky Dad' is usually a goofball. When he's drunk, he even tries to teach me how to pick up guys—so why would his greeting be so normal?

He'd definitely say something like, 'Let me see how you've developed,' or some other harassing nonsense!

Cocolia... this woman really has ulterior motives.

And this mess is getting a bit too big. If I need to retreat, the best time hasn't come yet.

For now, I have to pretend I believe her, otherwise the mercenaries will definitely react...

Disgusting.

I, this young lady, have to play along with a bad guy pretending to be my dad.

"Tch, you abandoned me without a word, and then you show up after some other woman makes a phone call."

At this moment, Kiana, feeling disgusted, looked at the mercenary leader and immediately put on an angry expression.

"Stinky Dad! You pervert! I hope you die out there!"

The mercenary watching Kiana truly couldn't tell anything was wrong.

Yeah, that's right.

This is exactly how a teenage girl should react to a father who abandoned her.

"Haha, don't blame Dad."

At ME Company, Cocolia instructed her subordinates to continue.
