Perhaps it was Bai Ge's innate affinity, or perhaps it was the bold personality of the Kaslana cub from a young age, but this True Kiana wasn't afraid of the stranger, Bai Ge, at all.

"Me? I'm here to take little Kiana out to play. Here, a small gift for our first meeting."

"Mommy said I shouldn't accept gifts from strangers. Big brother, don't treat me like a child, I'm not an ordinary kid. I'm going to be the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal, just like Mommy."

"...Haha, is that so? Good, good. You truly are the future strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal. Cough! Actually, your mom sent me to pick you up."

"Mom sent you? Really?"

Kiana blinked in surprise. She trotted over to Bai Ge and sniffed his nose, a gesture that left Bai Ge unsure how to react.

"Mhm! Big brother, you really do smell like Mommy. I believe you!"

Kiana said, hands on her hips.

"Oh, oh... by the way, what does Mommy smell like?"

"Huh? Mommy's smell is just Mommy's smell. A nice, warm smell."

"Is that so? Little Kiana is amazing." Bai Ge smiled and patted the white-haired fluffball in front of him.

For some reason, he felt very relaxed.

Even though his time was slowly slipping away, he didn't feel anxious at all. He felt completely healed.

Third update, please give flowers, votes, and tips.

Thanks to "AngelLihu" for the 1000 VIP points reward. Wishing the boss good health, all the best, great wealth, and eternal life.

"Little Kiana, close your eyes now and prepare yourself. Something amazing is about to happen."

"Oh! What are you going to do, big brother? Is there a surprise?" Kiana obediently closed her eyes.

The next second, the white-haired fluffball felt a cool breeze sweep over her. Everything around her instantly became vast and open. When she opened her eyes curiously, she was so astonished that her jaw dropped.

She had been at home just moments ago, but in the blink of an eye, she had arrived in the sky. Kiana kept looking around, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

The sunset's glow dyed half the sky red, like clouds burned by flames. Kiana instinctively reached out to grasp them, while the other half of the sky was already dotted with stars. The mysterious and magnificent starry sky now seemed within reach.

"Amazing! Big brother, are you a magician!"

"Haha, if little Kiana thinks so, then I am."

Bai Ge ruffled the cute white-haired fluffball, feeling a strong urge to raise one at home.

He had lost count of how many plot points he had altered in this simulation. Sirin survived, Cecilia survived, Cheng Lixue survived, Welt didn't die and come back multiple times. It was almost a perfect ending where no one got hurt.

He could no longer predict what the world would be like when he returned to the original timeline, but...

Since he had already changed so much.

It wouldn't hurt to change a little more!

If he left little Kiana in Schicksal, she might become a hostage for Otto to threaten Cecilia and the others in the future.

So, Bai Ge decided to rescue the little girl from Schicksal while he still had time.

Who would have thought that the attack on Schicksal by an army of over ten thousand Honkai Beasts was just a diversion?

"Yay! Yay! Big brother, I want to go into that cloud over there, can you take me?"

"Heh, of course, no problem. Then, little Kiana, you'll have to hold on tight to me."

Bai Ge carried little Kiana/Durandal through the air, constantly using spatial teleportation to travel. The girl wasn't scared at all and kept cheering.

At the same time, Bai Ge noticed the yellow rabbit plushie in her hand – a Humo.

"I don't understand what's so cute about this yellow rabbit. Uh, little Kiana, do you like this too?"

"I really like Humo, but I actually prefer cats. But Mommy said I'm still little now, and it's too dangerous to raise a cat. I can only have one when I grow up."

Kiana said with a slight pout.

"...That's true for ordinary children. But when it comes to a Kaslana cub, I think the little cat would be the one in danger."

Bai Ge blinked and said truthfully.

"Also, this Humo was given to me by a tall, blonde big brother. He said he was giving it to me on behalf of Mommy... sniffle To be honest, I don't really like this Humo." Kiana frowned adorably and tugged at Humo's arm.

For some reason, she instinctively disliked this Humo, but because it was a gift from her mother, she decided to cherish it.

However, upon hearing this, Bai Ge's expression changed drastically.

A tall, blonde big brother?

"Little Kiana, let me see this for a moment."

"Huh? Oh, oh!"

"...Otto, you!"

Taking the yellow rabbit, Bai Ge squeezed it slightly and immediately felt something hard inside. He instantly ripped open the Humo and pulled out the hard object.

"Whoa, there's something strange inside Humo's belly! Uh, big brother, why did you break it!"

"Kiana, don't move, drink this!"

Bai Ge's expression changed instantly.

He pulled a red-glowing distress beacon from Humo's belly, but that wasn't the main point. The main point was a mini-bomb with an aura similar to a Honkai Energy Fission Bomb.

And this thing was already in the process of detonating. By now, it was too late to teleport it using the Herrscher of the Void's authority or to simply throw it away.

Bai Ge shielded Kiana in his arms with one hand as much as possible, and clenched the mini Honkai Energy Fission Bomb with the other.

BOOM—!!!

Even a miniature bomb, when using Honkai Energy, would be tens of times more powerful than C4. Bai Ge, already on the verge of death, was blasted away along with Kiana in his arms.

Like a bird struck by a hunter, he fell from the sky.

The two of them fell into the forest.

Bai Ge's left arm had completely vanished, but he paid it no mind, quickly lowering his head to look at Kiana in his arms.

He felt a warm flow of blood staining his right hand. Bai Ge was certain it wasn't his own blood.

He had already lost most of his blood. Even if someone were to cut Bai Ge's veins now, not much red would come out.

"Cough, cough, cough! Kiana? Little Kiana? Are you okay... Damn it!"

Although Bai Ge had used his left arm to block most of the damage from the Honkai Energy bomb, some of the shrapnel had penetrated his body at such close range.

It still hit Kiana.

Coupled with their fall from thousands of meters in the sky...

"Damn it, don't let the timeline converge in a place like this! I won't let you die!"

Bai Ge roared in anger.

Although in the original story, Kiana was also hit in the head by debris from a flying vehicle from thousands of meters high, falling in a freefall deep into the snowy mountains, and still managed to survive stubbornly.

But that was her a few years later.

The current Kiana was only a little over two years old! Bai Ge immediately activated the Herrscher of Death's authority with all his might to heal Kiana.

Fortunately, even in a state of complete exhaustion, the Herrscher's authority was still the Herrscher's authority. As long as it wasn't an instant death, and as long as there was still a breath left, he could instantly snatch someone back from the King of Hell.

Kiana's injuries immediately stabilized.

But at the same time, footsteps could be heard not far away.

"Tsk!"

Bai Ge clicked his tongue, but didn't bother to look. He continued to focus on healing Kiana.

At the same time, he felt very helpless, thinking that while others who transmigrated into Honkai Impact 3rd either lost their intelligence or were just cannon fodder, novels about satisfying power fantasies couldn't be applied to reality.

Only after personally confronting this guy could one know—just how terrifying an enemy Otto Apocalypse truly was.

"Herrscher of the Void, we meet again."

"Bishop, please be careful, I'm still..."

"Don't worry, Amber. It's not yet clear if..."

Bai Ge was using his last bit of strength to heal Kiana Kaslana. Even if they did nothing, he wouldn't have any other energy left.

Otto signaled Amber to lower her weapon. The Honkai Energy detector in his hand told him that the Honkai Energy concentration of the Herrscher of the Void youth before him was so low it was unlike a Herrscher.

Even the weakest advancing-class Honkai Beast was much stronger than the current Bai Ge, making Otto even wonder if he was truly using Honkai Energy to heal Kiana.

Wasn't he using his own life force?

Soon, the healing was complete.

Bai Ge calmly hugged the little Kiana and sat down with his back against a large tree. He gently stroked the head of the white-haired ball of fluff, then looked up at Otto.

"..."

"..."

The two of them looked at each other in silence.

In the end, it was Otto who broke eye contact first. It wasn't because he felt guilty or anything, but simply
