Chapter 465: The Ruler Who Shakes Kiana's Heart

[Next question]

[In the Theater of Domination, the puppet wanted to break Kiana Kaslana's heart. Facing Kiana who was unwavering, what did the puppet do to make Kiana's heart waver? ]

[A: Take out the Plague Gem and tell Kiana that Himeko is dead.]

[B: He kept interfering with that stinky mouth, and gradually broke through Kiana's psychological defenses with persistence.]

[C: Killed Bronya and Fu Hua in front of Kiana. ]

[D: Tell Kiana that her good girlfriend Mei Raiden is currently in love with a pink fairy lady, and she has been cheated on! ]

【Please start answering questions. 】

[Theresa] "Theater of Domination? Puppet? This is the Tenth Herrscher, as I remember."

[Captain] "But why do you want to ask those puppets? It will shake Kiana's heart..."

[Bronya] "Maybe he's trying to seize Kiana's Herrscher power."

Bronya, who knew that she would have her Herrscher Core taken away by those hateful puppets when she dominated the theater in the future, would think of this as her first reaction.

She would never forget the scene of herself being eaten by a few puppets, making her look embarrassed in front of Xier.

[Bronya] "Just like in the previous scene, the purpose of mocking Bronya is to force Bronya to take action and then seize the power of the Herrscher."

[Hei Xier] "Those guys are not very strong, but they are more eloquent than each other, and they seem to know everything about us."

[Einstein] "We know that the Ruler will deprive the Herrscher of his power. What they do is to shake people's hearts and make them use the power of the Herrscher. Bronya fell into their trap before and was defeated."

"And on this question, it's clear that they've targeted Kiana again, and used some means to shake Kiana's heart."

[Wendy] "But, what method did they use? Could it be that they really killed Sister Bronya and Fu Hua?"

[Kiana] "Impossible! How could Bronya and the squad leader die at the hands of those puppets?"

[Hersher of Knowledge] "Even if the old antique has not recovered his heyday, and Bronya has not yet recovered her Herrsher of Reason power, it is impossible for them to be easily defeated by a few pieces of wood with their skills."

[Bronya] "That's right, Bronya doesn't rely on the power of the Herrscher to fight."

[Captain] "I also think it's unlikely. We all know Kiana. If Bronya and Fu Hua really died in front of Kiana, I don't believe that her emotions are just shaken."

[Raiden Mei] "Indeed, given Kiana's personality, it's already a good thing she didn't go crazy and cut the other person into pieces."

[Xilin] "So, excluding options C and D, the remaining options are A and B..."

[Kiana] "Wait a minute! Why is D excluded? If I knew Mei already had another woman, I would definitely be shaken!"

[Mebius (Elysian Land)] "That's because you know of Alicia's existence, and that at some point in the future your sweetheart will be touched by Alicia."

"But Kiana in question may not know about Alicia's existence. She only knows that Raiden Mei has only left her temporarily. So if you tell Kiana a piece of news that has no basis for her, she may not believe it."

[Captain] "Well, if you want to more effectively shake someone's heart, you have to have a solid reason. Talking nonsense will only make people laugh."

[Walter Yang] "Option A will indeed cause great psychological trauma to Kiana. After the last lesson, Teacher Himeko will be the greatest pain in her life."

"Even if Kiana still holds out hope that Himeko is not dead, when the puppet takes out the Plague Gem, it will mean that Kiana's last hope is gone."

[Siegfried] "As for option B, I believe my daughter when she says that she won't be broken by a few words from a puppet."

[Himeko] "Then the answer is basically certain."

[Fu Hua] "Well, if nothing unexpected happens, this is it."

[Rita] "Then everyone should rely on their own abilities."

…(I won’t describe the process, I will just announce the candidates who answered the questions)

【Keqing, please answer the question. 】

[Keqing] "? Huh? What the hell? I actually got the chance to answer a question? By the way, what was the question just now? I haven't even reviewed the question yet!"

Even in the live Q&A room, Keqing, a workaholic, did not forget to deal with her work. Generally speaking, for problems in other worlds, Keqing would occasionally take a look, make a comment, and then devote herself to her work with due diligence.

But she didn't expect that this time she casually pressed the buzzer, which actually gave her the opportunity to answer the question.

[Theresa] "No way, the problem that belongs to our world didn't give our people a chance to seize it, but people from other worlds got it? Is this reasonable?"

[Captain] "Could it be that Keqing is also a character in Honkai Impact 3rd?"

[I haven't stipulated that people from different worlds can't answer questions from different worlds, right? ]

[Bronya] "That's not true."

[Keqing] "Luckily the chat history is still there. Let me take a look... Choose A, right? Okay, Xiaobai, I choose A!"

【Congratulations to Keqing for answering correctly. 】

Salt Lake Base, Kiana's bedroom, late at night.

"Ah, I'm so tired." Kiana, who had been training for a day, lay on the soft big bed. "I was thinking about so many things during training, and before I knew it, it was time. I'm really not good at thinking about complicated problems..."

"But everyone was very considerate of me. Even when I asked some weird questions, no one laughed at me. They all gave serious answers."

"Everyone cares about me and helps me in various ways. I am really... lucky."

Even though she had hurt them before, they would still accept someone like her.

Kiana sincerely thanked everyone who had helped, cared, and supported her, "Thank you... Thank you..."

Kiana closed her eyes and prepared to greet the arrival of a new day.

Hey!

"Who?!" The sudden sound from outside the door woke Kiana from her half-asleep state.

In this base deep underground, everything is always quiet during rest periods, which highlights the unnaturalness of the sound.

Just when Kiana was feeling strange, something rolled on the floor. The monotonous and mechanical sound was weird and out of place.

The vigilant Kiana was about to notify others, but unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she found herself in a place she never expected.

Dominate the theater.
