The Invitation Was Actually for...

Whom should we trust?

Trust Honkai energy?

Do I believe in Honkai?

Her expression became quite interesting at that moment; she wanted to refute Yae Sakura, but didn't know how to say it best.

"I know it's dangerous."

"So?"

"But you two are already inseparable, aren't you?"

Yae Sakura looked at her intently.

Even after death, she continues to live on through the Stigmata Will, and she can sense Kiana's special qualities even more than when she was alive.

Kiana had no rebuttal.

She's Honkai linked to Honkai for life.

Once she gets involved with the Honkai, she might not be able to escape it even in her next life; she'll likely continue to be Honkai with it.

It's all because I clicked "activate".

But if she hadn't used this power, she might have already been dead along with Yae Sakura and the others.

The circumstances at the time did not allow her to refuse.

If the system, Honkai, truly possesses consciousness, then Honkai must have intentionally placed her time travel location in Izumo.

Because if you want to live, you have no choice.

"You need to think things through yourself. My experience is just my own experience. We have different thoughts and experiences, and I don't want to mislead you into making a choice."

Yae Sakura said, "Think it over carefully, Kiana. Think clearly about why you're using this power, and what you intend to do with the power of Honkai."

"I... I understand."

Her fate was intertwined with that of the Honkai; there was no way for her to escape this destiny.

This was her own choice.

Kiana bid farewell to Yae Sakura with a heavy heart, and Yae Sakura did not try to stop her, but only watched her leave with concern.

This is a challenge Kiana must overcome, otherwise such incidents will continue to occur until...

"That's the nature of power; if you can't truly subdue it, you're destined to become its puppet."

Yae Sakura sighed, "I hope you can think this through, Kiana."

Leaving the Stigmata space and returning to the outside world, her keen sense of smell detected odors that made her feel nauseous.

My rationality has finally stabilized completely.

However, Yae Sakura's words still lingered in her ears; Yae Sakura wanted her to think carefully about why she used this power.

Why?

To protect themselves? To save Izumo? To...

Various thoughts swirled within her, but none of them were the answer she truly sought. Just as Yae Sakura had said, she needed to give herself a reason, a reason that wouldn't be burdened by the need to drive the Honkai.

But she couldn't find it!

Because...

"Honkai is a scourge."

Kiana's eyes turned cold as she struggled to her feet. Around her, the corpses that had long since fallen rose again in contorted poses.

The forces of Honkai are reshaping their corpses, desecrating the bodies of the dead.

"Damn it, we were killing so many enemies before, why didn't we betray them all?"

She cursed herself for being driven by impulse and having only battle on her mind, and then watched as the power of Honkai infected the corpses of the Buli who had received the Blessing of Abundance.

Now we have to kill them all again.

The Frost Blade condensed again in her hand, but soon, her expression darkened as she released it, letting the newly summoned Frost Blade vanish.

Although Frost Blade can use the power of nothingness, there is no doubt that it now belongs to the Honkai.

She resists this power, yet she can't live without it; no matter how you look at it, she really is...

She shook her head.

He chuckled to himself, "Then let's see what it's like to fight without Honkai energy."

Although she knew very well in her heart that it was impossible not to use Honkai energy at all, since her body was created by Honkai and she could not be separated from Honkai.

At least passively, she can't turn it off.

His physical abilities remain superhuman, even after removing his equipment and giving up the active use of Honkai energy.

Her strength remains astonishing.

Honkai Beast are generally friendly to her and won't attack her unless provoked. However, if she attacks Honkai Beast in her non- Herrscherization state, they will retaliate instead of passively waiting to be killed.

The power that could instinctively kill a whole bunch of enemies with a single punch was now only enough to smash a single Honkai Buli into the pit.

Rugged and durable, with sharp teeth and claws.

Only when they are not completely overwhelmed will Buli's true difficulty in dealing with them be revealed.

"A weak fist. A pursuit of power?"

Kiana pinned the Honkai Buli to the pit, swinging her fists, but unable to inflict fatal damage.

Without Honkai energy, I am weak and frail, just one of the most ordinary and inconspicuous people among billions.

But these guys are all here because of Honkai energy, because of Honkai...

She raised her head, and on this battlefield that had fallen silent because of her, countless figures rose again.

A series of walking corpses.

Kiana, struggling with the Honkai Buli, thought a lot. She understood, but she was still missing something to convince herself.

What's missing?

One goal...

Did she come into this universe merely to spread disaster, to become a being as abhorrent as destruction itself?

Losing focus for a moment, the power of the Collapsed Honkai Buli suddenly surged, throwing her aside. With a wolf howl, it charged at her with its four claws, extending its sharp teeth.

Kiana twisted her body in mid-air, dodging the attack and delivering a powerful kick that sent it flying.

I don't understand.

There's no way to pretend nothing happened and continue burying your head in the sand.

So before I figure it out...

Let's hold off on using the power of Honkai for now and experience firsthand everything this universe has to offer.

She landed steadily, gazing at the Honkai Beast she had drawn their hatred towards, and picked up a broken blade from the open ground beside her.

One day later.

"It's resolved."

The last effective resistance has been broken, and the war can now be declared over ahead of schedule.

The remaining tasks were gathering the prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield, which General Fei Xiao did not need to handle personally.

She managed to resolve several days' worth of tasks in a single day, breaking her own record once again.

"Next, I should go and have a good talk with that friend."

Fei Xiao kept thinking about this matter all day.

Speaking of which, that person should still be around, right?

She hadn't even asked the other person's name or identity yet; she was waiting to talk about it later after everything was over.

To avoid nagging, after dealing with the last bit of resistance, Fei Xiao transformed into a shooting star and headed back towards the place where he had met Kiana.

The others in the Qingqiu Army didn't know what to say either. On the battlefield, even if they wanted to say something, they would have to catch up with Fei Xiao.

The same way of making an entrance.

Fei Xiao, but after landing and taking in the situation around him, his relaxed mood tightened again.

She saw that the people around her were creatures that resembled the Buli, and the people she was looking for were now in a much worse state than they had been a day ago.

His body was covered in blood and he was injured.

When she arrived, she saw the girl fighting back against a group of Buli, who were beating her with a broken blade.

Not understanding why the opponent wasn't using their previous power, Fei Xiao immediately joined the battle and annihilated all the enemies in his path.

Like a gust of wind, Fei Xiao swiftly dispatched a large group of enemies, appearing beside Kiana and kicking away the Buli surrounding her. "I didn't expect there would still be remnants of this Buli here."

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Invitation Was Actually for...

"Not Buli."

Upon seeing Fei Xiao again, Kiana toned down the sharpness that had been displayed during the battle, knowing that the farce here was about to end.

"No?"

Fei Xiao raised an eyebrow and examined the Buli in front of him more carefully. Well, upon closer inspection, they did look somewhat different from the previous enemies.

They seem to lack reason.

Purely weapons?

Fei Xiao didn't connect these enemies with the previous corpses. He wondered what kind of new biological weapon Bu Buli had created.

However, instead of revealing his worries, he said lightly, "Alright, whatever this is, it's time to end this."

As soon as she finished speaking, she left only a blur that was extremely difficult to catch with the naked eye. In just a few breaths, she knocked down all the Buli were still standing. Because she did not control her strength, she even made the surrounding area look like it had been plowed.

She clapped her hands and returned to her original position, a confident and cheerful smile on her face after defeating all the enemies, "The war here is almost over. Now, if you have some free time, why don't you come with me to the Xianzhou for a ride?"

Should we go to the Xianzhou? Or the Yaoging Xianzhou?

She questioned and rejected the idea.

"They're not dead."

Kiana looked at the craters Fei Xiao had created, and then at the Honkai Transformation Buli who was crawling out of them, and felt a headache coming on.

Perhaps it is because they were transformed from the Denizens of Abundance into Honkai Beast.

These guys are incredibly resilient and have an astonishingly fast recovery rate, making them extremely troublesome even for her without using Honkai energy to assist in combat.

If you can't kill with a single, decisive blow, you can't kill them.

To put it more simply, the damage your attack causes is less than the amount of health your opponent recovers.

"Not dead yet?"

Fei Xiao frowned slightly, and when she looked back, she was right. This recovery speed and solid physique had already surpassed that of Buli, whom she knew well.

What has that wretched creature done now?

With a slightly heavy heart, she raised her hand, and countless cyan wind blades fell, revealing a corner of the power of the Path of the Hunt. After the storm, only the bare, renovated ground remained, and nothing else was left.

Where did the body go?

I'm a little wary of this somewhat unusual phenomenon, but let's discuss the matter of Buli later with the others.

"The problem is solved now."

Is this the power of the Hunt?

This scene is somewhat reminiscent of the rain of arrows falling during Path of the Hunt in a Simulated Universe game.
