Kiana vs. Kiana (2)
—The following are Kiana's memories from her dream while she was unconscious—
"If we had never known the pain of separation and death..."
"Crack! What is this singing? Start again!"
On the grand stage of St. Freya, a group of lively and adorable girls were performing their hearts out, but the Idol Lady on the judging panel were not enjoying themselves at all. They were so angry that they slammed the scoring button, and three bright red "0"s popped out from behind them.
"Huh? Is there a problem with our performance?" Black Seele, who was forced to perform, was very unhappy and seemed to be sharpening her claws at Luming.
"Exactly! I think everyone performed very well. Where's the problem? We practiced by following your video!" Kiana protested, and everyone nodded in agreement, except for the Arin Sisters who lowered their heads guiltily.
Because the Fire-Chasing Squad is going to perform at a school anniversary celebration, they specially invited back professional contestant, popular Idol Lady Chen Xilumeng, as a special instructor, but her expression doesn't seem very good right now.
Kane, who was taken back to his partner's "home" to familiarize himself with the St. Freya Academy, was bored and munching on Guotie outside. After spending some time together, he finally managed to raise Crimson Kite's Wings' affection level back to its initial value. However, when feeding her, he would still cautiously let the Guotie eat the Emergency Food first.
"Pandas are cute, but they don't look as good when they grow up. I wonder when Luming will find Guotie a companion... What can I do?"
Inside the auditorium—
"Hey, do you guys have some kind of misunderstanding about the idol profession?" Luming crossed her arms, rested her elbows on the table, and rested her chin on the back of her hands, looking like she was interrogating someone.
"Ah, isn't it enough as long as you're cute?" As soon as Kiana finished speaking, Luming angrily grabbed the bewildered Theresa next to her (using Judah to grab her) and slammed her head against her forehead.
"What's the use of just being cute? Can cuteness put food on the table?" said a certain Idol Lady who makes a living based on her looks.
"To be an idol, you need to have excellent emotional management and social skills, be able to sing and dance, have strong body control and a good voice, and also..." After rambling on and on, the Idol Lady, getting increasingly angry, simply jumped onto the stage and began to criticize:
"I've put up with you for so long, you Kiana! An idol's face must always have a genuine smile on it. How can your silly grin work? I'm getting clenched up with anger watching you from below!"
"And you, Mei! Your manners and poise are impeccable, but could you please stop swinging your guitar like a knife? What if you accidentally drop it and hit an audience member?"
"Bronya, sigh, if you really can't make expressions, then don't bother. Try to find your old style; a blank expression is a very popular and endearing trait~"
"As for Wendy... you need to be fully focused during the performance. You must concentrate completely and not just stand there grinning like an idiot every now and then! And stop looking at me all the time!"
"Rosalia and Liliya... after all, they are trainee idols, so there are no obvious flaws. They just need to improve their basic skills."
"As for Seele... Black Seele, you should learn more from White Seele, she's quite talented."
"Um..." The clueless mother, trying to get some screen time, timidly poked her head out. "Kiana and the others aren't idols either..."
Luming gave Theresa the look of someone looking at an idiot, grabbed her ear and twisted it hard, sending her memory back to an hour earlier:
"Please, you brat, judge us by the standards of idols!"
So, Luming Lady picked up the withdrawn little white fluffy ball and returned to the judges' table, waving her hand. "Bring me pen and ink!"
She quickly scribbled out several slips of paper and distributed them to everyone. As for the Arin Sisters, she decided to provide them with special individual training.
Some time later, on an undeveloped island next to St. Freya—
"Don't be afraid! Rosalia and Liliya, why are you running? Bravely charge towards the jeep!"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Luming Lady took a leisurely sip of Bitter Gourd Juice, picked up the horn, and loudly reprimanded the mischievous children who were moving at 4,444 percent of their usual speed.
Himeko was driving, was all smiles. "I've put up with these two brats for so long, and today I finally have a chance to get my revenge! Wahahaha!"
What? You're asking if this isn't dangerous?
... Do you mean the bratty kid or the Jeep?
"Luming Sister, is this really idol training?!" Rosalia was out of breath from running, while Liliya, who was pulling her along, rolled her eyes at her. "Idiot, you can tell at a glance, right? Luming Sister definitely has personal grudges involved!"
As they drove, Himeko suddenly gave a pained look. "Little Xing, oh no, Little Luming, I have some good news and some bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
"Listen to the good stuff first."
"The good news is that you'll be having a wonderful... wonderful barbecue party with your sister tonight." Himeko, noticing Theresa had somehow gotten into the car and was sitting in the back seat, quickly pulled back from the brink. "Himeko stingy little thing! You can't even touch a little loli, let me do that?"
"And the bad news?"
"The brakes are broken, and I accidentally shifted into the highest gear just now, and that broke too."
And so—
"Whoa, you brat, why are you chasing me too?!" A Kiana that had accidentally wandered in screamed as it was chased.
—Although I was initially reluctant to become an idol, I gradually developed a passion for it—
Wake up!
Strange, who's calling me? I'm so sleepy...
Wake up, Kiana!
Don't bother me, let me sleep a little longer...
Wake up! Sister Mei and Luming got married together!
"Which reckless bastard did this? Was I the groom?!" Kiana's eyes snapped open, and she reflexively jumped up from the floor, radiating intense resentment.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's everyone doing here?" Kiana suddenly realized that everyone was gathered around her, and she didn't know what was going on.
"Idiot, quickly recall what happened. I clearly saw you run out just now, but why did Liliya find you unconscious in the locker in the bathroom?" Bronya urged, waking her up.
Some time ago—
"Well, although the doctor is right, and the way things were done back then wasn't wrong from a practical point of view, I'm still so angry."
Kiana, feeling sullen, had no appetite. She wasn't angry or resentful that Sachi had injured Mei and the others; instead, she hated herself for her weakness and helplessness in this situation.
She wants to become stronger, to have enough power to protect those around her.
Frustrated, she got up and went into the bathroom. After closing the door, she completely failed to notice the white-haired little girl hanging on the door, silently pulling a baseball bat from her skirt...
Set! Boost!
Bang!!!
Does it sound good? If it sounds good, then it's a good start.
A certain loli, who was equipped with Booster Buckle and then struck with a club, thought mercilessly.
Having sneaked into the bathroom beforehand and installed a silencer, Luming skillfully tied Kiana up with a rope (a technique she learned from Rita), gagged her, and dragged her into the closet.
She opened her small mouth and extended her pink tongue, gently licking the girl's fair neck. A surge of bio-current sent a shiver through the Kiana's body.
"Ugh, it smells like sweat." Luming rinsed her mouth several times in disgust. Who the hell said that beautiful girls all smell nice? Get out here.
P. S.: This is a result of having overly sensitive sensory organs. Also, Kiana just got back and hasn't showered yet.
Fortunately, my own tastes are quite open-minded, though there's no element of morbid curiosity involved. Although I love walking objects, if I were to actually lick one, I'd definitely make my partner wash it thoroughly first, as he has a slight case of mysophobia.
Although she no longer smells bad, even her sweat smells good, and her bodily waste consists of only a little colorless and transparent liquid, her intestines haven't been performing normal biological functions for a long time (her digestive ability is too strong).
P. S.: Everything is clean everywhere~ (From the crazy, unrestrained thoughts of a perverted author)
However, since her first taste of forbidden fruit, Luming seems to have lost interest in that kind of thing. Perhaps it was because she was too thoroughly drained by the fox spirit and the Raven spirit last time, or perhaps her own perspective has broadened, which has led to Luming not having much of a reaction even when she transforms back into Xing and spends time with her lovers.
After all, she was the world's number one femme fatale...
Also, Luming's greatest charm doesn't lie in herself, but because... she can fulfill all your fantasies!
Ahem, I've gone off-topic.
The cold metal needle gleamed with a chilling light. The little girl chuckled, pulled aside the white stockings on Kiana's legs, found the right spot, and inserted the thick needle into her cheap older sister's thigh, drawing a full vial of blood.
As the blood was completely transfused into the blood bag, Luming unconsciously licked her lips, feeling the lingering warmth through her fingers. Her breathing became rapid, and a blush appeared on her face.
Is the vampire's constitution good or bad?
She picked up the blood bag and drank it all in one gulp. The feeling of sucking a little blood last time reappeared in her body. The instinctive heat from her body urged her to devour the delicious food in front of her and turn her into a slave who obeyed her completely, but Luming would never do that.
Seemingly influenced by the blood of her kin, the Kaslana Stigmata flickered on the back of her right hand before returning to silence.
However, the perceptive Luming also noticed that a blurry, bright red pattern had appeared on the back of Kiana's right hand, disappearing in less than a moment.
She thought for a moment, then nodded approvingly, lay on Kiana, and greedily wiped away the beads of blood that had appeared on the girl's thigh. The vampire loli licked her lips with lingering relish, wiped the area she had just licked with a napkin, and after confirming that the wound had healed under the effect of saliva, pulled up her stockings and gently closed the cabinet door.
She turned the ring of the Omnitrix, looked at the newly appearing image inside and smiled slightly, then gently patted it down.
One of the extra functions of the Omnitrix is to enable the holder to undergo a mimicry transformation by reading DNA that has been temporarily absorbed into the body or by directly inputting DNA into the device.
——Qi Men——
Luming Lady is very annoyed.
According to my original plan, I was supposed to use myself as bait, disguise myself as Kiana, lure the snake out of its hole, attract the IF Bug, and easily defeat her by transforming into the Twin Swords of Flame and Light to end this dungeon. But who could have imagined that a Honkai Impact 2 Hōraiji Kyūshō, would suddenly appear out of nowhere?!
Yes, you heard right, the protagonist of Honkai Impact 2, the savior Hōraiji Kyūshō —has arrived!
"Hmm, the energy used for the first transformation was only a little bit, hopefully it won't affect the upcoming battle." Because Jiu Xiao was injured by being attacked from both sides by the IF Bug and the IF Goose (True Kiana), Luming considerately took her back to Tesla for treatment, and also borrowed her magenta driver with Jiu Xiao's consent.
"Hey, seriously? This can trigger your passive ability?" Tesla looked speechlessly at the Magical Girl Lady who dragged back a chuunibyou girl. Well, she just went out to fight and ended up bringing back a girl.
PS: Because the base body couldn't be moved, Luming wore a Magical Girl's outer armor.
Luming simply didn't bother to explain. She said there was no way she would let this savior go. She just handed Jiu Xiao over to Tesla to look after and went to a corner to study Jiu Xiao's driver.
What? You're asking how Tesla figured out this was a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) girl?
What normal girl would wrap herself in bandages, put on chains, and wear a blindfold?
PS: The original reason for the bandages on the Nine Heavens was to cover up the signs of rejection from the Stigmata; this is purely for chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur).
"A minor injury...wait, why is there a swelling on the back of her head?" Tesla asked curiously as he examined Jiu Xiao's injuries.
"Oh, she tripped and fell on a rock." As soon as the witch finished speaking, a long metal baseball bat slid out from between her legs and fell to the ground with a few crisp sounds.
"Cough cough, I didn't see anything." With a strong will to survive, the Lobster Girl decisively turned around, threw Jiuxiao into the healing chamber and started the healing process before going about her own business. Anyway, it was just a minor injury, and it wouldn't matter if she left it alone.
Luming fiddled with the familiar magenta belt, but no matter what she did, it didn't work. So, she set her sights on Jiu Xiao, who was lying peacefully in the treatment pod.
"Heave-ho! Hmm, it's quite spacious." Thanks to her small size, the ability to transform into a little fox, and the fact that Lobster Doctor made the treatment pod quite spacious, Fox Lady successfully squeezed inside while carrying the belt in her mouth.
So she slapped the driver against Jiuxiao's waist, but there was no response.
Oops, it's in the wrong place.
After adjusting the angle, the driver unit instantly extended the fixing strap to complete the binding, and a clear female voice rang out:
Savior Driver!
"It's just a repaint, and they even washed off the knight's emblem." After inwardly scoffing at the piracy, Fox Lady reached for the card box that appeared on the side of her belt, intending to see what cards were inside.
Then, she froze.
Isn't that the Judgment Knight?!
The Blade of the Thunder Queen, the Otherworld Hacker, the Gale Caller... even the multi-combination Fire Moth!
But why are they all black and white? Only the initial four Bonded Weaponry Cards are usable.
Speaking of the Bonded Weaponry, when she obtained the Flame Sword Liehuo from the Honkai World, an unknown force approached her. In that instant, it was as if countless tiny fireflies surrounded her, eventually converging into her hand and becoming a dazzling starlight.
The light of a single firefly may seem insignificant, but when the power of many fireflies comes together, the light they emit can even illuminate the darkest night sky.
Please, warriors of the Kaslana Family!
[It's such a young child... Please help me.]
Yes! I must, I absolutely must, rescue that "me" who has fallen into darkness. Please, let her be free.
Keep going! Our souls are with you!
The gathered prayers will transform into...
Go forth! Fight like a warrior!
Let's bring all the goodwill of Kiana Kaslana and crush our malice!
Yes, just as light and shadow go hand in hand, good and evil, as two sides of a contradiction, are naturally closely related.
If the resentment and bitterness of the Kiana killed in countless timelines turned into a curse, plunging the IF Bug into an abyss and condemning them to eternal damnation in slaughter, then the kindness in the Kiana's hearts drifted and accumulated in the cracks between worlds, hoping that one day it could become the opportunity to save their misguided selves.
What? You're asking why they still tried to save them if the IF Bug killed them?
Are you kidding me...? They're all Kiana!
No matter what world she's in or what kind of life she's lived, Kiana Kaslana will fight for all that is good in the world!
Even if they chose an extreme approach.
Now, using Kiana's power in this timeline as a starting point, the Kiana's goodwill has been connected to the remaining power of the Flame Sword in the Honkai World before it was corrupted. They themselves are willing to become the blade in her hand to dispel the boundless darkness that obscures her path.
The conditions have been met.
Bonded Weaponry - Activated!!!
By Bonded Weaponry the [Kiana Kaslana and others' kind soul fragments], the Holy Sword of Light, the Light-Hard Sword Most Light, is born.
—... I don't know why, but while writing the above paragraph, I suddenly cried. I can't just wallow in self-pity... Besides, isn't this the plot I imagined? What right do I have to cry?!—
"Wait a minute, what's with this guy's card?" Fox Lady jumped out of the treatment pod with the card box in her mouth, transformed back into human form, and stared at the card in her hand, lost in thought.
Kuuga has a total of twenty-two Rider cards, from Kuuga to Kujira, but Zero-One and Levi are missing.
However, most of them only have basic form cards, and there aren't even any gray or white cards in the enhanced form... But can someone explain to her why there are so many cards in the Build?!
Wait a minute, upon closer inspection, they all seem to be basic card combinations.
"Is it just my imagination?" Luming squinted. "It feels like all the knights I've ever transformed into..."
Otherwise, how do you explain that Zi-O only has two cards: Basic Form and Ohma Zi-O Form? And that Spirit Rider only has two cards: Basic Form and Fighting Spirit Form? That's too much of a coincidence!
"Holy crap, they even have Ultraman cards?! And why are they all black and white?"
Quickly flipping through the Ultraman cards, the little girl's gaze finally settled on the black and white Ultraman Warrior on the last card.
There's no mistake; even if it wasn't stained, she would never admit it.
Because this is her Ultraman — Regateia.
It's impossible to obtain the cards through people around you, because Jiuxiao would also have Levi's and Zero One's cards, and some cards are unique to him...
Luming looked at the Cross-Build Knight card in her hand, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
However, why are all of Saber's cards blacked out, with only the three basic books remaining? Didn't they change to dragon patterns before?
Wait a minute, did Jiuxiao accidentally use the trial card?!
Judging from her words during the battle, she should know the inside story. Let's ask her when she wakes up.
After hesitating for a moment, and with the idea of giving it a try, Luming asked Ai-chan to search for all the information about "Hōraiji Kyūshō".
If this person really is from the Honkai Impact 2 world, then even if I'm at full health now, it's useless. The Thirteen Flame-Chasers have all been resurrected, and even if all the high-end combat power and awesome technology of the Previous Civilization and current civilizations are combined, it still wouldn't be enough to defeat them.
Honkai Impact 2 versus Honkai Impact 3rd, isn't this a complete annihilation?
"Don't worry, don't worry, I only added one character card, so are you ready to beat up Gana? Did you think I was going to give you some jerky or something? Ahem, don't worry, beating up Gana is still a long way off... I mean, just go straight for the real thing—"
"Wait a minute, if this Kiana is the real deal, then who was the Kiana who went out earlier?" After confirming that the Kiana was genuine through interrogation, they fell into deep thought. They then immediately went to retrieve the surveillance footage that they had already watched many times. The group looked at each other in bewilderment and called back the people who had gone out to search.
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
Before the Fire-Chasing Squad could begin a new round of investigation, several earth-shattering explosions nearly shattered their eardrums. The teachers and students on campus were also terrified by the sudden incident. When the people outside regained their footing and carefully observed the source of the sound in the distance, the scene they saw almost paralyzed them with fear.
A gigantic Honkai Beast was slowly advancing in the sea, heading towards the St. Freya Academy. Although its movements seemed slow and it did not appear very large from a distance, its height was estimated to be at least seventy meters.
Battleship activated! St. Freya's anti-air defense system activated! Defense system against large Honkai Beast activated...
Before we could even get ready, a clear bird song rang out, followed by a rhinoceros head, filled with the summoner's fury, slamming into the face of the unknown Honkai Beast. The powerful force sent the little white mouse flying out of the sea and into the azure sky.
"Kill it! Leave not a drop of blood or a piece of flesh! Sky GaoKing Icarus!"
In her Magical Girl form, Luming stands on the shoulder of Sky GaoKing, wielding the Beast Emperor Sword. Her face contorted in a ferocious roar, and the fury and darkness emanating from her instill a sense of fear in even the most Power Beast.
However, the Power Beast could understand Luming's anger at this moment. If their home were attacked, they would be just as angry and brutal as Luming.
