'Am I going to die...?' Lightning reflected in Kiana's blue eyes. Everything around her seemed to freeze. Kiana could only watch as the lightning ball struck towards her, and she could no longer dodge it.
"Do you want power?" The familiar, ethereal female voice echoed again. Kiana felt a blur before her eyes, and the next second, she found herself standing in a field of white flowers. Across from her was a young girl who looked exactly like her.
No, not exactly alike. Kiana observed the other girl carefully. Although she looked like her, her eyes were blue, while this girl's were golden. However, apart from the eye color, the rest of her truly looked as if she was carved from the same mold.
"Who are you? And where is this? Let me out!" Kiana was a little anxious, but the person opposite her simply raised a hand slightly, signaling Kiana to calm down.
"Who am I? Hehe~ You're truly forgetful, aren't you? Haven't you seen me before?" The golden-eyed girl, who looked exactly like Kiana, chuckled. Kiana was a bit confused. If she had truly seen the girl, she would definitely not have no impression.
"Have you forgotten? 2010, the events on that snowy plain." The girl floated towards Kiana, cupped her face, and golden eyes met blue.
"2010... year..." Kiana's eyes were a little unfocused. She seemed to remember. It was a flame, and... and many people! That group of people seemed to want to kill her...
It was at that time that the girl in front of her appeared, telling her to give herself to her, and she would protect her...
Herrscher of the Void smiled as she watched Kiana's eyes gradually clear, a complex look in her own eyes.
...
In 2010, because Siegfried, her enemy, was nearby, her consciousness slowly revived. Coincidentally, Kiana and Siegfried's residence was also discovered, and Otto sent a small team.
If it were her original self, she would have killed them without a second thought.
But... it was at that time that two strange souls appeared and merged with her...
A new consciousness was born from the three.
Now, She decided to name herself Verna.
It was also because of the fusion of the three that she lost her hatred, saw the future, and understood what kind of existence she was.
And it was then that the young Kiana appeared. Only then did she realize that due to the soul fusion, she had just lost control of her body, and Kiana was now in great danger.
Verna looked at the young Kiana in front of her with complex emotions. She should have killed her consciousness and taken over this body to carry out her revenge...
But the two soul named Marisol (Parasol Kaiserin), and Aviva, gave her a kindness.
Thus, a deal was struck. She took control of the body and helped Kiana escape the pursuit of that small team, but still encountered Siegfried.
Siegfried, seeing Kiana's appearance, immediately began to fight. Verna really had no choice, and coincidentally, she also needed to vent, to vent her confusion.
So, like the original storyline, Siegfried sacrificed an arm in exchange for Herrscher of the Void's slumber, until now, when she reawakened due to the high concentration of Honkai energy in the air.
...
"How about it? Do you remember?" Verna looked at Kiana.
Kiana nodded
After remembering that she was the one who saved her back then, her attitude quickly became familiar.
"Sister! Can you, can you help me again? I want to save Mei, but I'm too weak... I can't do anything." Kiana lowered her head as she spoke. Verna's expression was complex.
As she already know general plot stories through game as Aviva.
'This is a cheat code in the Honkai world...' Verna sighed inwardly.
She used to only watch these girls say this, but now it had already become the cheat for girl in front of her.
"Of course, I can. How do you want me to help you, Kiana?" Verna waved her hand, conjuring two chairs and a table, and sat down on the chair to her left.
"I, I want to trouble Big sister to give me a weapon, and then send me back..." Kiana scratched her head awkwardly.
Verna looked at Kiana, recalling that baseball bat.
"Is that baseball bat not easy for Kiana to use?" Verna interlaced her fingers, revealing a gentle smile. Kiana nodded vigorously.
"Although the baseball bat does feel good... it's still too weak against that monster controlling Mei... and the attack range isn't enough."
"That's not a monster, Kiana, but an existence called a Herrscher." Verna gently corrected the error in Kiana's words. If she admitted Kiana's description of Herrscher of Thunder today, then wouldn't she also be a monster?
"Herrscher?" Kiana looked at her with an innocent, unpolluted eyes. Verna's mouth twitched. After silently cursing Siegfried's parenting, she began to explain the existence of Herrscher to Kiana.
"So, are all Herrschers bad guys?" Kiana asked, looking at het. Verna quickly shook her head. She wasn't! She was a good citizen now!
"Herrschers are also divided into good and bad. Once, ------ bestowed humanity upon Herrschers, giving them the right to choose, allowing Herrschers to have humanity..."
She spoke for a long time before Kiana understood that Herrschers could also stand on the side of humanity. What influenced a Herrscher was only their surrounding environment, like the current Herrscher of Thunder, wasn't she choosing destruction because of the bullying from her classmates?
"Then, sister, according to what you said, is it possible for a Herrscher... to be influenced?" Kiana looked at her nervously. If possible, she planned to try her talk-no-jutsu.
"Influenced..." Verna. Sirin's memories surfaced. Cecilia... that gentle woman, stayed by Sirin's side until the end...
Verna inexplicably felt her eyes warm and the tip of her nose sting. She was the extension of Sirin's hatred, with Sirin's memories, and inherited most of Sirin's emotions. Moreover, she had merged with two souls, so she would naturally be moved by Cecilia's matter.
"Ah, yes, it's possible." She quickly adjusted her mood and put on a smile. Kiana stood up, her expression filled with joy.
"Then..."
"But compared to talk-no-jutsu, I have a faster method here." Verna curved her lips.
Kiana was indeed intrigued.
"What method?"
"That would be... first beating the Herrscher's consciousness into submission, then slowly influencing her." Her words made Kiana's expression fall.
"If I could do that, why would I need all this trouble?" Kiana slumped on the table. Fortunately, Verna had just told her that what happened in the consciousness space only took a moment in the outside world, which was why she could sit here and chat with her.
"You naturally can't, but, don't you still have me? Just like in 2010, Kiana, give me control of your body, and I will help you... defeat Herrscher of Thunder." She hooked Kiana's chin, her knee resting on the table, one hand pressing on the tabletop, leaning down to look at Kiana.
