483 Between Worlds, Beyond Limits

At this point, as long as she had a sufficient supply of Honkai energy samples, Kagura could recreate every single piece of Honkai technology and equipment in the Marvel Universe with 100% accuracy.

In fact, even recreating a Herrscher isn’t entirely out of the question!

Ahhh, so many new "toys" to play with now! Just the thought of it is enough to get me excited!

Hehehe! My Rhodes Island Industries is practically itching to get to work!

“Well... if that’s the case, then I won’t try to keep you any longer.”

Himeko’s voice gently pulled Kagura back to the present.

“Thank you, Kagura. You saved our world.”

“Oh, not at all,” Kagura replied, scratching the back of her head sheepishly. “I just did a tiny bit—just what I was able to. That’s all.”

“The real heroes who saved this world are you strong, beautiful Valkyries!”

“Ara, say whatever you want, but too much humility can sound like arrogance, you know, little miss?”

Himeko crossed her arms with a smile, clearly not looking to argue.

“Anyway, before you leave, be sure to say goodbye to everyone. They’ve all grown really fond of you—especially Miss Sirin. She’s absolutely smitten with you!”

“Mm, I know.” Kagura nodded. “Speaking of which…”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “About Miss Sirin… I’d like to bring her with me—to my world. I want to keep taking care of her.”

“Oh? Are you sure about that?”

Himeko seemed surprised by the decision.

“Yes, I’ve thought about it for a long time,” Kagura said seriously. “Sirin isn’t really from this era. Her personality, her consciousness, even her body—are all from the Sirin of the year 2000.”

“Besides… I don’t know how the rest of the world here will treat her. Even though Otto’s gone, there are probably still people who harbor bad intentions toward her.”

“I don’t want Sirin to be hurt again. That’s why I want to take her to my world—where she’ll be safe.”

“More importantly… it’s a promise I made to her.”

Himeko fell silent for a few moments in thought.

“…Yeah, you’ve got a point. Even if everyone on the Hyperion treats her like family, that doesn’t mean the rest of the world will.”

“Don’t worry! It’s not goodbye forever!”

Kagura took a deep breath and smiled again.

“I’ll stabilize the quantum tunnel between our two worlds. That way, I can come back here anytime—and you can all visit my world too!”

“Really? That’s amazing!” Himeko’s surprise turned to delight. “I thought I was going to lose my adorable little Kagura-chan forever!”

“No way! I could never bear to part from you lovely Valkyries!”

Kagura placed her hands on her hips proudly.

“Oh! And while I’m gone, I’ll be leaving behind a sort of ‘stand-in’ on the Hyperion—a presence that’ll act as an anchor and a bridge for communication with everyone here.”

“Oho? A stand-in? Sounds interesting. What kind?”

“Well, while I was researching the Stigmata, I discovered that the ones inside Mei and Theresa contain unusually active energy—strong enough to actually materialize into physical form.”

“Even though the physical version is just a ‘puppet,’ and the original consciousness still sleeps within the Stigmata’s space.

This powerful girl from five hundred years ago seems to have multiple incarnations across different worlds and timelines. I just borrowed one of them.”

“Hmmm…” Himeko rubbed her chin thoughtfully. “Sounds pretty mysterious. So what exactly is the stand-in you're leaving behind?”

“In simple terms? She’s a Valkyrie.”

Kagura raised her hand, and crimson Reality Stone energy began to swirl around her fingertips.

Threads of light wove together in front of her, gradually forming a new body.

“This new Valkyrie, who’ll represent me as a member of the Hyperion’s crew, is none other than…”

“The fox-eared ninja girl who wields the power of inheritance—Yae Kagura!”

As Kagura summoned her, a pink-haired girl with long locks, dressed in a sleek black ninja outfit and sporting a pair of fluffy fox ears, appeared on the Hyperion’s deck.

“Well then, everyone—please take good care of me from now on!”

And so, Kagura’s journey in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd came to an end!

With her research and spoils of war in tow, the silver-haired girl passed through the quantum tunnel and returned to the Marvel Universe!

The story concludes here.

But of course, though this tale has ended—Kagura’s joyful adventures are far from over…
