Chapter 88: Vicissitude: Hua V
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Herta: Is that the Judgment-class Honkai Beast — Chiyou? It seems it was mentioned during the previous review of Kevin. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Screwllum: Yes, Lady Herta. During the previous review of Kevin, it was indeed this Honkai Beast that Kevin used to restore his energy. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Zhongli: A truly formidable creature. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Heavenly Principles: As long as you do not recklessly touch forbidden things, you will not invite the Honkai. ]
As one of the strongest being in the Teyvat continent, the Heavenly Principles knew far more than the Seven Archons of Teyvat, and they also had some understanding of the Honkai. [ Of course this is not canon, just something until we got more infos about them ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Elysia: Oh my, this Honkai Beast isn't cute at all. Kevin, why did you use such an uncute Honkai Beast to restore your energy? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kevin: Er… ]

"Usually, these terminals are recovered and sealed by Otto. However, in order to uncover the hidden truth, Theresa and Himeko recovered the terminals behind Otto's back. The terminals remained silent, but a careless touch from Fu Hua activated them. Following the instructions from the readable data, Theresa combined the CANGXUAN-inscribed soul steel with the terminal, transforming it into a weapon capable of converting Honkai energy into fire, lightning, and ice elemental energy. Theresa named it the Book of Fuxi."
"After the four returned to the academy, Himeko only needed one month of rest after treatment to regain her mobility. At the same time, Anti-Entropy executors planned an attack on St. Freya to recapture the Third Herrscher."
"One night, a clone of Welt Yang, Welt Joyce, infiltrated the academy in an attempt to retrieve Mei. After he knocked out Mei and defeated Bronya, Fu Hua used the power expected of an A-rank Valkyrie to save Mei, only to be severely wounded by the enraged Welt Joyce."
"A month later, Schicksal's Dr. Magi defected from Schicksal with the Gem of Desire and arrived in Singapore under the protection of Anti-Entropy. At the same time, Himeko was discharged from the hospital. During the party celebrating Himeko's recovery, Fu Hua received a mission from Otto to track down the gem and, per Otto's additional request, took Kiana with her."
"At the Queen's Hotel in Singapore, Fu Hua disguised herself and infiltrated Magi's room, but was electrocuted by The Welts, who had been prepared in advance. Meanwhile, Kiana was drugged by Magi. Upon waking, Fu Hua tricked The Welts into revealing the gem's location, knocked him out with a punch, and leaped out the window."
"The next day, in order to obtain the latest intelligence, Fu Hua asked the Central Intelligence Department's A-rank Valkyrie, Wraith, to investigate the whereabouts of the gem and Kiana. At this moment, Siegfried, who was secretly carrying out an Anti-Entropy mission, appeared. He gave Fu Hua a device that neutralizes the Honkai energy reaction triggered by the gem and told her of Cocolia's plan to trigger another Honkai."
…
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Theresa: Hmm, Cocolia? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kallen (Resurrected): Otto, be ready at any time. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Otto: Understood, Kallen. Leave this matter to me. ]
Although she is called the First Green-er, Otto knows very well what she intends to do with just a word from Kallen.
[ Honkai: Star Rail - March 7th: Eh, Uncle Yang, what the heck are these Welt Joyce and The Welts? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Welt Yang: Just a few clones, no need to pay them any mind. ]

"With the help of Wraith's masterful disguise techniques, Fu Hua successfully infiltrated the Queen's Hotel and learned about Kiana and the gem from The Welts."
"After killing The Welts, Fu Hua entered the basement and took away Kiana, who had lost consciousness due to the Honkai energy shock from holding the Gem of Desire. Magi had already been eroded by the high concentration of Honkai energy; he intended to destroy the Honkai energy reactor while he still had consciousness."
"According to his promise to Kiana, Magi gave Fu Hua an HSN-b 46 serum, entrusting her to pass it on to Himeko. As Fu Hua prepared to retrieve the Gem of Desire, Kiana, due to prolonged contact with the gem, awakened the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void within her. With the help of the 'Shadow Knight: Moonblade' transmitted by Otto, Fu Hua successfully severed the connection between the Herrscher of the Void and the gem, bringing Kiana back to St. Freya Academy."
"Otto found many terminals based on the information provided by Fu Hua, but he was not satisfied with just that; he wanted to obtain all of them. So, he invited Fu Hua to trace back her memories through a deep memory-diving device, arriving at the Fuyun Temple in 1475 [ the 11th year of the Chenghua era ] to obtain the locations of all the terminals. Otto guided from the outside to prevent Fu Hua from being trapped in her own consciousness."
"By touching items that could trigger her memories, Fu Hua jumped into deeper layers of memory, met Nuwa and Fuxi, and obtained the scroll recording the locations of the terminal seals. After defeating her own lingering consciousness of memory attachment, Blackened Hua, Fu Hua returned to reality, having forgotten everything experienced in the memory, as if it had all been a dream."
…
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Otto: As expected of the friend I acknowledge, she truly has strength. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Fu Hua: I don't need your acknowledgment. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: Eh, why would the monitor forget everything, is she losing her memory? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Yae Miko: Oh my, could it be that your monitor is too old and has developed senile dementia, just as silly as our Ei? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Hua: ? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Raiden Ei: Don't think that just because sister is protecting you, I can't do anything about you. ]

"In 2016, as the annual Valkyrie level examination approached, Theresa, not wanting Kiana to fail again, asked Himeko to give her a cram session before the exam, and Himeko transferred the task to Fu Hua. In the practical exam on the third day, Fu Hua and Kiana were grouped together. Although Fu Hua won, Kiana's outstanding performance in the battle still earned Fu Hua's praise."
"After the Fourth Honkai, Theresa, Himeko, and Kiana rescued Mei, who had been captured by Cocolia, and Bronya, who was in a brain-dead coma. Although they successfully rescued Mei, they lost Wendy, and Bronya remained in a coma, which even the technology of St. Freya Academy could not cure. To save Bronya, Theresa decided to go to the academy's central cathedral; beneath the cathedral lay hidden the highest biological technology of Schicksal."
"During this period, Fu Hua used the Fenghuang Down to attempt to treat Bronya. In the dream, she transformed into the Sage of Flowing Stone of the Houm Kingdom, guiding the amnesiac Bronya to defeat the three witches of Ice, Shield, and Darkness—manifestations of her loneliness, desire for friendship, and unwillingness to face her own sins. Bronya accepted everything from the three witches, negated it with her own life, and successfully regained her memory. After returning to reality, Fu Hua received a mission issued by Otto: retrieve Kiana."
"Fu Hua rendezvoused with Durandal, who had arrived at the academy, and the two headed to the underground area of the academy's central cathedral. After subduing Theresa, Fu Hua told Kiana the truth about the dream. Unable to accept the facts, Kiana recited the magic incantation that appeared in the illusion and began to transform into a Herrscher, but she was quickly subdued and taken away by Fu Hua."
"Kiana, it's just a dream, it's time to wake up!"
"After the two left, Theresa decided to attack the Schicksal headquarters to rescue Kiana."
