Kiana was right, the information about the World Serpent was still at the battle in the Pacific Ocean. At that time, Kiana was still chasing after Su Jue, and Su Jue was swayed by his emotions, so he naturally seemed to be brave but not wise. But the illusion of Sky City not only relieved Su Jue's fatigue, but also healed Kiana's broken heart. Even though she couldn't meet Su Jue now, the two had promised that they would meet again one day. Kiana, who has no worries and whose IQ is online, is naturally not something that Raven can easily control. "No matter if the intelligence is outdated or it's unexpected, do you have a chance of winning in your current state?" Standing up from the ruins in a panic, Raven wiped the dust off his face and raised the Seven Thunders of Purification again. As the combat force of the World Serpent Cadre, Raven is not weak. With the Seven Thunders of Purification and Soul Steel Claws, he can quickly deal with even the Judgment-level Honkai Beast. On the other hand, Kiana's power of the Void Law was restricted, the healing ability of the Serenity Gem was sealed, and her body was covered with wounds. The only thing she could use was the power of the Fire Flame. Given Kiana's current condition, even if the sneak attack is successful, the possibility of winning against Raven is very slim. But the girl didn't show any sign of retreating, and her deep blue eyes were full of determination. "No matter how dark the sky is, as long as the flame is still burning, hope will always continue. I will not fall here, because there are still people waiting for me." In the snowstorm, the battle between the two was about to break out.
The Seven Thunders of Purification were long-range after all, so they had a considerable advantage. The surging arcs of electricity shot out special bullets one after another. Although it was a sniper rifle, it had an extremely high rate of fire in Raven's hands. The situation quickly became a one-sided crushing situation. But neither Kiana nor Su Jue, who was standing on a high place in the abandoned city observing the battlefield, showed any worry. Because Kiana believes in herself, just as Su Jue believes in Kiana. 315 Counterattack The city area covered by solid ice should have been dead silent, but at this moment it became extremely hot, with flames and thunder flashing in an interlaced manner, and the snow on the ground was instantly evaporated and turned into a hazy mist. Compared with Chen Tianwu and Anna inside the city, the battle between Raven and Kiana was obviously much more intense. The great sword formed by the firewood was burning fiercely, and every slash could cause deep cracks in the ground. Unfortunately, due to the lack of long-range attack, most attacks could only sink into the snow. "Is the World Serpent the kind of guy who only does things behind people's backs?" After failing to achieve results for a long time, Kiana seemed a little impatient. The duration of the Fire Flame was limited, leaving her with few opportunities to fight back. "Don't even think about it. I won't let you get close to me." Although she was a little embarrassed being chased, Raven still had an absolute advantage. As long as she was not attacked by Kiana, she could use her own speed to kill the injured Kiana. The venue is filled with black smoke released by Raven. The smoke has a slight nerve paralysis effect, which may not be felt in a short period of time, but over time the enemy will completely fall into her rhythm. However, due to the blizzard, the fog had limited effect. She was also aware of this, so she kept turning around while the fog was still there, looking for opportunities to kill. Just when Kiana's attack missed, Raven's eyes lit up. The opportunity she had been waiting for finally arrived. After pressing the bullet into the magazine of the Seven Thunders of Purification, Raven leaped up like a real bird, quickly locked onto Kiana who was surrounded by flames through the sight, and gently pulled the trigger. Nourishing. Electric arcs flashed, and bullets attacked Kiana from top to bottom at an extremely tricky angle. This is a blind spot and with the smoke covering it, there is no way Kiana can dodge the bullet. "Herrscher of the Void, go to hell with my hatred!"
However, before the confidence in her eyes disappeared, she saw Kiana suddenly paused and turned her head to the side as if she had noticed something. The bullet grazed the girl's hair and flew into the snow. The next moment, the ground shattered with a loud bang, and dust spread everywhere. A fist-sized hole appeared in the metal-reinforced ground. This bullet was as powerful as a miniature howitzer. Before Raven could figure out how Kiana had sensed the attack, he saw the impatience on the girl's face suddenly disappear and her eyes immediately locked onto her location. The speed that Raven originally felt comfortable with suddenly exploded, the ground broke and a dent appeared, and Kiana arrived above Raven in an instant. "You." The raven in the air had nowhere to hide and was hit directly by the flaming sword, smashing into the ground from top to bottom. This is how it is when fighting against a Herrscher. The opponent can make many mistakes, but you can only make one mistake. "I didn't expect that the sealing effect of the Yellow Springs Staff would disappear at this time." Raven's body sank into the ground and she struggled to get up, but all she saw was a burning sword. Blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth and was soon burned away by the flames. Her eyes were filled with resentment, and she looked at Kiana with more hatred. She didn't understand why Kiana, who had killed so many people, could fight with a clear conscience and grow to where she is now. Even luck was on the girl's side. The speed was so fast that even she couldn't catch the trajectory of its movement. The only thing Raven could think of was the Herrscher of the Void's teleportation ability. "It seems that I have better luck today." Kiana held a greatsword in front of Raven and said as she spoke. In fact, only she herself knew that her power had not recovered at all, and the extreme outburst just now had almost drained most of her physical strength. [Shape Contains Momentary Dust] This is a close-range move of the Taixu Sword Qi, which consumes a lot of physical strength in exchange for extreme speed. Raven is looking for a flaw, and Kiana is also waiting for an opportunity. She has been hiding the trump card of the Taixu Sword Qi in her hand, waiting for now. Kiana's success today was not due to luck, and the suffering she experienced was unimaginable to outsiders. Of course, she would not reveal this to Raven, and it was definitely a good thing for her that the other party misjudged the recovery time of the power. "Tell me, what does the World Serpent want to do? Why did it attack me? If I remember correctly, I should have saved you once." Kiana asked coldly, pointing the big sword at the unwilling Raven. "Why?" Raven sneered, "Because you are a Herrscher. An unstable Herrscher is a threat to the entire world. If you are eliminated, the threat of Honkai Impact 3 to the world will be reduced." Hearing Raven's answer, Kiana just shook her head slightly. She was not stupid. The World Serpent was not a small organization. Every action must have a necessary purpose. She did not hide her whereabouts. If she just wanted to kill her, she could just find a random place to ambush. Why would she go to the Coral Island? "Even if I am a Herrscher, do you think you can kill me by yourself?" Raven's breathing stagnated. She had indeed not expected that Kiana would be so different from her impression of her, but she was still unwilling to accept it. If she was careless and Kiana seized the opportunity, or was directly defeated by the opponent, she could accept it. But she was cautious enough and even seriously injured Kiana in advance, but still failed. It wasn't that Raven couldn't accept the outcome of failure, but the reason for the failure was too coincidental. The ineffectiveness of the Yellow Springs Staff caused her great advantage to go down the drain. This made her think back on her life. All her efforts seemed to be teased by fate and were easily wiped out. The home seventeen years ago, the villa island a few months ago, and the children a month ago. Whenever she found hope, Honkai would ruthlessly destroy it like a cat catching a mouse. Her hatred for Kiana was not so much hatred for the Herrscher as it was hatred for this wrong world, hatred for the collapse that destroyed everything, and even more hatred for herself who was powerless. But what about Kiana? Why did she, who had killed so many people, receive favor from the world? In Sky City, so many people regarded her as an idol. In Sky City, she was loved by all the children. Even in this battle, fate was also favoring her.
The world is never fair. The negative emotions brought by the loss of the children continued to brew in Raven's heart. She was unwilling to accept it and gradually transferred all her hatred to Kiana. "It doesn't matter if I can't kill you. My life was destroyed the day the Herrscher was born. Even if I die in your hands, I will only be one of the thousands of people on the death list." 316 The Raven in Despair "You ruined my life and destroyed my home, but I can't even get revenge because you are a Herrscher." Raven, whose emotions were somewhat out of control, widened his eyes and stared at Kiana with his scarlet pupils. "The birth of the Herrscher was a disaster. This world should be fair, but why, why did you not receive any punishment for killing so many people? You don't even feel the slightest bit of guilt." She stared at Kiana's cheek, trying to see guilt or anger in her expression. However, that was not the case. Facing Raven's questioning, Kiana looked quite calm. As the price of being a Herrscher, the sins Kiana has to bear are something Raven can never imagine. Everyone hates Herrschers, and everyone is afraid of Herrschers. But no one knows that Kiana is the one who hates herself the most. She could have just died without taking any responsibility or moving on. But in this case, who should take on the hopes that these dead people had placed on us? Humanity has no hope in the face of collapse. If no one can stand up and fight for humanity, if people can only escape in the face of the pain of disaster, then such a future will be a hopeless one. The wandering in Tianqiong City was the darkest time in her life, and it was Su Jue who accompanied her all the way. Now, after experiencing so many things, Kiana is also growing continuously. The girl's heart became more determined because she knew her goals and the meaning of her existence. Of course, only Kiana herself knew these things, and no one else could understand them. She looked at the angry raven and slowly retracted the sword in her hand. "I have my own path to follow and I have the need to use this power. I don't care how much you hate me, but I don't want you to get in my way." Kiana's calm attitude silenced Raven, and her hateful eyes were filled with intense confusion. She looked into those azure blue eyes, and all she saw was the tranquility of a lake reflecting the moonlight. Sky City, Sky City, Coral Island. Raven's mind was in a trance. She had come into contact with Kiana many times. When she first saw Kiana in Sky City, she could see the confusion in her heart at a glance, which even her ordinary sniping could hardly detect. But now, she was full of determination and strong will. Instead, I, who used to be unshakable, became at a loss and could only rely on hatred to fill the emptiness in my heart. The strong contrast made her inner frustration even worse. She fell to the ground in despair, staring blankly at the sky covered with snowstorm. "you win." "Now, tell me the purpose of the World Serpent." Even though he was still unwilling, Raven still honestly stated the purpose of this action. "The World Serpent sensed the birth of a new Herrscher and headed here to capture him." "You really came for the Herrscher? But what is the relationship between the World Serpent and the Herrscher?" "Because of the Stigmata Project." Seeing Kiana's face turn gloomy, Raven smiled, "Yes, it's the plan that you stopped in Sky City." "World Serpent still hasn't given up. What is your goal this time? Do you want to use the coral island for experiments?"
For some reason, Raven felt a twisted sense of pleasure when he saw Kiana's mental wavering. "Don't worry. The experiment in Sky City is only in its initial stage. It is both inefficient and troublesome. The current goal of the Stigma Project is to capture the Herrscher core. Once all the complete cores are collected, the final stage can be carried out. By then, all of humanity will be saved, and the world will no longer be disturbed by the Honkai Impact." "I don't believe that sacrificing millions of people for an experiment is as simple as you say. Even if it can save civilization in the end, the price is definitely not something humans can afford." If you want to get something, you have to pay a price. This is the eternal truth of the universe. "Whatever you think, I've already lost Xiaokong and the others, and my life has lost its meaning. Whether it's true or not has nothing to do with me. Maybe next time we meet, I'll just be an infected dead soldier, a rotting corpse." "Xiaokong...are you like this because of them?" Kiana, who had come into contact with Su Jue, naturally knew that Xiaokong and the others were not dead, but were transferred to the Destiny Branch by Yulandel. She opened her mouth to tell Raven the news, but the other party spoke first. "Hehe, Xiaokong and the others seem to like you very much, but to a Herrisher like you, they are just a tiny part of the countless victims." "..."For some reason, Kiana suddenly didn't want to tell Raven the truth. "Let's get back to the point. Since the Stigma Project requires a Herrscher core, I should be your target, right?" "Of course, but I attacked you for my own reasons. The Second Collapse destroyed my home, and the Great Collapse a few months ago destroyed my life goals. Now I have nothing. Revenge on you is the only thing I can do." "You should be more than one person who captured the new Herrscher. Although you are very strong, you should not be able to deal with the Herrscher. Where are your companions?" Kiana asked. "Companions..." Infected by the emotion of revenge, the raven recalled that he needed to support the night owl. However, the new Herrscher doesn't seem to be here, so Night Owl should be fine. Seeing Raven thinking of his companions, Kiana shook her head slightly and advised: "I can't let your plan succeed. I advise you to leave Coral Island as soon as possible. I have fought with the new Ice Herrscher. She is nearby." Before Kiana could finish her words, a strong wave of Honkai energy suddenly erupted in the frozen city area. This was the moment when Chen Tianwu made a desperate attempt. The two people who noticed the fluctuations of the Herrscher immediately looked unhappy. Kiana glanced at Raven and prepared to suppress the Ice Herrscher first. "You stay here quietly. I will go and take care of the Herrscher of Ice. If that goes well, I will also try to save your companions." She put away her sword and prepared to leave. Raven, who was lying on the ground, looked at Kiana's back, but there was a trace of struggle in her eyes. Honkai energy is a kind of energy that has the ability to corrode the mind. Once it is shaken, it will be bewitched by the will of Honkai. Raven's resistance to Honkai energy is very high, but at this time, her hatred for fate makes her will weak. His fingers slowly moved to his waist, Raven took out the last Yellow Spring Staff, and slowly raised his hand to aim at Kiana's back. Nourishing~ A golden beam of light was released from the tip of the Yellow Spring Staff and hit Kiana directly from behind. Kiana, who had never expected that Raven would launch a sneak attack in such a situation, was completely unaware. Her body trembled slightly when hit by the beam of light, and she immediately turned around and swung her sword to block Raven's subsequent bullets. "Is all you can do is sneak attack?" The flaming giant sword drew an arc in Kiana's hand and reached in front of Raven at a fast speed. Raven only had time to hold up the Seven Thunders of Purification to block in front of him, but was still chopped down by Kiana and fell to his knees. "Ahem." She spat out a mouthful of blood, her eyes full of disbelief. "Weren't you hit by the Yellow Spring Staff? Why?" "I never said that I defeated you because the seal was ineffective." Even Raven could not resist Kiana's strange power. The Seven Thunders of Purification sank and almost turned into other forms.
The girl was not polite either. She was a little annoyed by Raven's continuous sneak attacks, so she kicked Raven directly in the chest and kicked her out. Raven still wanted to struggle, but this time she finally realized that the girl in front of her defeated her not by luck but by her own strength. 317 Queen of the Sky The energy burst of Bing Lu did not last long, and soon the space fell into silence again. The two people present knew very well that Raven's companion might have met with an accident.
