Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Poor Siegfried, he can't accept the death of his wife, let alone the daughter who killed his wife~hahaha~"

The figure smiled proudly, and finally she added the last and most uncomfortable sentence to Kiana, "Kiana, the biggest misfortune of your parents is giving birth to you!"

The sound echoed around the room, like a boulder binding Kiana's body with a rope, dragging her into the cold and lightless trench...

"No...no, it's not like that!" The girl collapsed on the ground. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't think of anything to say to refute. Listening to such "truth", she only felt pain and deep self-blame.

"Do not……"

The suppressed emotions were like a huge wave, almost drowning her. It seemed that she could hardly see the scene in front of her, and she felt that the surroundings were dark.

However, in such darkness, a strange light shone on her from behind, and that special warmth allowed her to see the surrounding scene clearly again.

"Ship, Captain?" She turned around and saw clearly the source of the light, which was emitted by the rhombus crystal in the captain's hand.

Not far behind her, the captain stood there. He raised his hand, and the crystal floated in his palm with the light. The light outlined strange lines, extending straight forward along the captain's right hand, gradually Transformed into the shape of a sword...

"Kiana, think about what I just said." As he said, he raised his hand and walked towards Kiana. When he reached Kiana, the lines and the light finally formed It became a gorgeous sword blade, the tip of which pointed directly at the black shadow in the distance.

"What!?" The black figure couldn't help but take a few steps back when he saw the black sword blade in the captain's hand. The blade exudes a power that is almost identical to the "power" she possesses. This is undoubtedly a huge threat to her in her current state and this illusion.

"Impossible! In my fantasy world, it should be impossible to release the power of the "God Key" to this extent. Isn't the level just now the limit of how that toy can be used here..."

Black Shadow recalled the situation when she was in the cabin. Generally speaking, in the illusion she created, although she could not block the external 'consciousness' from invading the illusion through 'feathers', she wanted something to exist or disappear. It's still a piece of cake, unless...

"Could it be that...in that toy..."

A conclusion gradually formed in her mind. Perhaps, she should have thought of it a long time ago. She should have thought of it as early as sixteen years ago...

"Consciousness also resides in that divine key..."

This is the only explanation.

"Ha, no wonder, no wonder..." She sneered, and all her questions were explained at once.

"Captain...that's that?" Kiana looked at the gorgeous sword formed in the captain's hand in surprise. She remembered that the captain had never taken out such a thing.

On the slender black sword body, a bunch of white lines extend straight from the hilt to the tip. The sword edge is also made of pure white, but the entire sword body has the same special texture; the hilt is covered with dark "petals" "Embellished with it, the central part where it connects to the blade is a diamond-shaped hollow shape, in which is inlaid with the extremely eye-catching purple crystal. The slender cross-shaped metal frame is firmly protecting it in the center of the hilt.

Like a light that breaks away all the darkness in this illusion, this is the true form of the second divine key that controls the power of "space": "The Trace of Nothingness" after it has been completely liberated.

"Kiana, stand up."

The captain standing next to Kiana stretched out his hand to her who was lying on the ground.

"But..." She stretched out her hand, but it kept shaking. The black shadow's words made her feel fear and sadness...

"Dreams are fragments of reality, but the complex emotions you feel in dreams are extremely real."

"Huh?" Kiana knew this sentence. Not long ago, she heard the captain say it.

"It's uncomfortable, isn't it? But, believe in your heart, Kiana, do your parents really harbor ill will toward you? If so, what kind of mood did they embark on to embark on the Law of Confrontation? Where is the battlefield?"

"I…"

"Stop blabbering!" The girl's extremely impatient voice came from the distance.

"Stop quibbling! Isn't that the truth!? Kiana, your mother died on the battlefield against the Herrscher, and your father also abandoned you and disappeared, isn't it?"

"..." Kiana lowered her head. Yes, that was the truth. She couldn't refute it, but at this moment, the captain held her hand firmly.

"Kiana, are you willing to believe me?" He asked in an extremely serious tone.

"I, of course... I trust the captain, but..."

The captain hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a firm tone: "Oh, I have been fortunate enough to see Ms. Cecilia."

"...Huh???" Kiana raised her head, with an incredible expression on her face.

How is this possible? The young man in front of her looked to be about the same age as him. If she had seen him before, it would have been at least sixteen years ago. The captain at that time was probably just a toddler at most. However, she suddenly remembered a person beside her. A real "elder": Theresa.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm already quite old." The question was answered.

In this sentence, the captain's tone seemed very relaxed and a bit joking, but Kiana couldn't feel that he was lying...
