"You know me?"
Looking at the unfamiliar man in front of her, Flamescion blinked her eyes in confusion, but no matter how she thought, she couldn't find any memory of the person in front of her.
"I know you, but you don't know me. Let me put it this way, I come from another world and know the Kiana of that other world."
Takatsuki didn't hide anything and directly stated his origin: "What happened to your world?"
"Why is it on the verge of destruction?"
Flamescion looked at Takatsuki: "A traveler from outside the world? This is not the place to talk. I still need to clear out the surrounding Honkai Beasts. Do you want to come along?"
"Good."
Takatsuki didn't refuse. It was also a good opportunity for him to see what level his current strength could reach. Although there was a simulated combat room in St. Freya, it was too rigid and required pre-recorded data, and Takatsuki's state was not suitable for simulation there.
Flamescion nodded and led Takatsuki to run across the battlefield. As a Herrscher, Flamescion could fly, but she chose not to fly, instead running on foot with Takatsuki on the ground, clearly to accommodate Takatsuki's condition.
"What is your world like?"
Flamescion asked Takatsuki as she led the way.
"Our world, well, the Third Honkai Impact just ended there, and you all just joined St. Freya Academy."
"St. Freya Academy... what a nostalgic name."
Flamescion's tone was filled with nostalgia and regret.
"Yes, and I'm also friends with you all in that world. I'll do my best to prevent the tragedy that will happen later, so I want to know, why did your world evolve into this situation?"
"Is that so? Then we in that world are counting on you. Our world was destroyed by the Herrscher of Binding. No, it should be said, by God."
God?
Takatsuki was stunned: "The false god Otto? Shouldn't he have been defeated by you?"
Flamescion shook her head: "Perhaps you've seen the future where Otto was defeated by us in other worlds, but in this world, Durandal was killed by him, and we barely escaped with all our strength."
"Although he didn't pursue us, he completely became a god and established a large-scale binding barrier centered on Schicksal's base. Almost every day, a large number of Honkai Beasts pour out from within the barrier, causing destruction everywhere in the world."
This development, truly...
"I didn't expect there to be another Emperor-class Honkai Beast here. Wait for me a moment."
As the two ran, they suddenly discovered a Emperor-class Honkai Beast moving towards them in the distance.
"I'll help you."
"Alright, then help me deal with the other Honkai Beasts around it. I'll handle the Emperor-class Honkai Beast."
Kiana leaped high, rising into the air and flying towards the Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
"Flying is too unfair. Once I get the Rooster Talisman and Rabbit Talisman, I'll be able to fly too!"
Although he envied it, Takatsuki's steps didn't slow down at all. Since he didn't have flight or speed, he would compensate with pure strength.
Switching to the Fire Demon character card, with the power from the demon and the Ox Talisman, Takatsuki pushed off the ground, using the recoil to fly towards the Honkai Beast horde.
Looking at the gradually approaching Honkai Beast horde, the power of Fire Demon Ki gathered in Takatsuki's fist, along with the might of Dragon blast.
"It's time for judgment!"
Flamescion in the air swung her sword at the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, and intense explosive flames surged out.
Meanwhile, Takatsuki punched below, and a huge explosive flame erupted, instantly engulfing the Honkai Beast horde.
"You're really strong. I didn't expect you to also use fire."
The two of them, each with one strike, dealt with the Honkai Beasts. Flamescion landed and looked at the fan-shaped scorched ground, exclaiming in surprise.
"Yes, but you should have noticed, my attacks don't contain Honkai Energy."
Takatsuki nodded: "After all, not all worlds have Honkai, and it's indeed very difficult to defeat Honkai using Honkai Energy."
Flamescion nodded: "But we have no choice. If we don't use Honkai Energy, we won't even have the capital to fight against Honkai."
"Let's go, I'll take you to our base."
Flamescion led Takatsuki on a continuous rush. Because Takatsuki could only run on the ground, it took them over half an hour to reach the base Flamescion mentioned. Along the way, Flamescion told Takatsuki about the current situation. Since the disaster caused by Otto, the Honkai phenomenon could no longer be concealed. Schicksal's headquarters had completely fallen, and now various Schicksal branches and Anti-Entropy were fighting Honkai and maintaining order everywhere.
With a common enemy, humanity had united as never before, except for World Serpent.
The snakes hidden in the dark were planning something unknown, but there had been no movement for a long time.
This place was more of an underground shelter than a base.
"Kiana, you're back. And who is this?"
As soon as they entered, Takatsuki saw a figure who looked very much like Mei. No, not just similar, but Mei who had already become the Herrscher of Thunder.
"I'm back, Mei. This is Takatsuki, a world-traveling adventurer."
Flamescion went up and gave Raiden Mei a hug, then introduced Takatsuki to Mei.
"Kiana, have the nearby Honkai Beasts been cleared?"
At this moment, a slender figure walked over. It was Fu Hua, wearing Valkyrie armor.
"Class Monitor, they've been cleared. You don't have to worry for now."
Fu Hua nodded and then walked towards Takatsuki: "May I ask what brings you, traveler from another world?"
"Fu Hua..."
Takatsuki thought for a moment. He was initially just curious why this world had become like this, and then naturally followed Flamescion here: "I originally just wanted to understand the reason why this world became like this. On one hand, I wanted to offer some help, and on the other hand, to prevent my world from developing like this."
Fu Hua nodded: "Thank you for your kindness, but we currently have no way to defeat Otto."
Indeed, the best way to change the current situation was to defeat Otto, but this was something no one could do right now.
But Takatsuki still had other means of assistance.
"I'll be returning to my own world soon. Before I leave, I can offer some help, but I'll need Kiana's assistance."
"Me? What kind of help?"
Takatsuki projected his system into the air and opened the item gacha: "This is one of my abilities. It can randomly draw some useful items. Kiana in my world has very good luck and always manages to draw items that solve current problems. There are ten 10x draws left now, Kiana, you can try it."
"A Gacha game?"
"What a strange ability."
The people around were curious about Takatsuki's ability, and Raiden Mei pulled Kiana: "Kiana, be careful..."
"It's okay, Mei. I can feel that Takatsuki has no ill intentions. I have the Fenghuang Down on me, don't you remember?"
Kiana explained to Mei with a smile.
Takatsuki didn't mind Mei's suspicion, since it wasn't his Mei anyway: "Before you draw, I think you need to think about what you need most right now. Of course, while these items are magical, they also have limits. Directly defeating Honkai or Otto is not something they can do."
"What do we need..."
Kiana, who was about to click directly, stopped her hand.
"What do we need now?"
