Bizarre Honkai, a Wife-Chasing Crematorium

The optimal time for transmigration was 7:00 AM, but he couldn't wait. The Bizzare Kiana was coming.

He had to reach his world, no matter the cost.

8:00 PM – cemetery. 9:00 PM – cabin. 9:30 PM – preparations. 10:30 PM – torture and waiting for the moonlight. It was now 11:00 PM.

Too early. But he'd do it again. The moonlight was fleeting. He couldn't miss his chance.

Hopefully, Bizarre Mei can hold her off…

Inside the cabin, the Bizzare Kiana and Bizarre Mei turned towards the fleeing Li Mo.

Mei's body reassembled itself, her hand reaching out, trying to pull him back, to usurp him.

Silver threads appeared, slicing through her, her body falling to the floor in pieces. A swift, brutal defeat. She hadn't even scratched the Bizzare Kiana.

The Bizzare Kiana stepped outside, finding an army of Meis, Bizarre Mei at the forefront. Every inhabitant of the new world carried a piece of Bizarre Mei. If she died, they became her, an endless legion of corrupted Origins.

The Bizzare Kiana had seen Bizarre Mei torturing Li Mo. Her twisted love demanded vengeance.

Her new enemy: the new world.

The stars dimmed, swallowed by the crimson moonlight, the moon itself a writhing, monstrous face in the sky. Within this domain, the Bizzare Kiana reigned supreme.

The human Mei vanished, her body collapsing. But the others, the Bizarre entities with human remnants, remained, their advance relentless.

The Bizzare Kiana growled, reaching into the Imaginary Space, towards the branch that represented the new world, a decaying leaf on the vast, interconnected tree of realities. If she severed it, the new world would vanish.

But her hand was stopped.

She turned, her eyes blazing with hatred, staring at Kiana.

Kiana held her hand firmly, preventing her from reaching the branch. They were connected, two sides of the same coin. The Bizzare Kiana could influence Kiana, but Kiana could also influence her, their bond strengthened by those three months in the coffin.

They both loved the same man, their love expressed in vastly different ways.

Thwarted, the Bizzare Kiana opened portals throughout the new world, pulling out corpses, launching them at Li Mo like projectiles.

Bizarre Mei closed her eyes, spreading her arms. Mei's third wish took effect.

Bizarre entities could be suppressed. Humans, not so easily.

The dead Mei reappeared, taking control. She reached out, her power not usurpation, but the granting of wishes, a miracle inherited from Elysia.

"My third wish: strip her of her power."

Mei had made two wishes before.

The first, a silent plea for Li Mo's survival, a rule now etched into every version of herself, an unwavering, unconditional protection, regardless of her own feelings.

The second, a simple request: Walk with me. I want to remember this place. Li Mo had complied, despite his initial reluctance. The price: her sight, her memories fading into darkness after three days.

This third wish, however, was made not by the original Mei, but by a second fabricated personality, a copy created to fulfill the first wish, to protect Li Mo.

"Kiana…"

"Mei?"

Kiana and Mei smiled, a mixture of relief and animosity. They both knew the other wasn't truly her.

"A third wish… can she really…?"

Kiana felt her power draining away.

It worked?

But it was fleeting. Her power returned almost instantly.

Mei collapsed, a sad smile on her lips. "Only… three seconds… such a useless… bad girl…"

Kiana watched as Mei's body disintegrated, the price of her wish far exceeding her power. Her memories, her consciousness, her soul, her very being, sacrificed for those fleeting seconds.

"You did well. Leave the rest to me." Bizarre Mei was gone, trapped in a frozen timeline, unable to reset.

Kiana, armed with her gun and sword, teleported to the Bizzare Kiana's side, firing a shot into her head. But the attack, imbued with the powers of restraint and erosion, barely fazed her. The Bizzare Kiana grabbed Kiana's arm, sinking her teeth into her flesh, tearing off a chunk and swallowing it.

"Ow…" Kiana teleported away, clutching her rapidly healing wound.

The Bizzare Kiana's head regenerated instantly.

"Ki… Kiana…" She spoke, her voice slurred, her eyes filled with confusion.

"I… love… A-Mo…"

"I… hate… you… Ki… ana…" Her voice was flat, mechanical, her eyes dull, lifeless.

Kiana fired another shot.

Then, she froze, trapped in a time lock.

The Bizzare Kiana opened a portal, watching as Li Mo vanished, tears of blood streaming down her face.

"I hate you…" She walked towards Kiana, grabbing her hair.

"I hate you…" Blood splattered on the floor.

"I hate you…" Limbs severed, bones crushed.

"I hate you…" Kiana's screams echoed through the forest, attracting a flock of crows, circling ominously above the cabin.

Silence.

The crows descended, feasting on the remains, their beady eyes gleaming, their raspy cries filling the air.

Li Mo ran, the city crumbling around him, the fabricated reality dissolving.

"Bizarre Mei is dead… I have to hurry."

A body, twisted into a grotesque projectile, emerged from a portal, slamming into his chest.

"Ugh…" He rolled across the ground, clutching his wound. She was trying to stop him.

He tried to stand, but his left leg was broken. He waited, the bones knitting themselves back together, then continued running.

More spatial distortions appeared ahead. He couldn't endure another hit. And fighting back would only slow him down.

The Bizzare Kiana's rule: eliminate all threats to Li Mo. That's why he'd forced Mei to torture him, to draw the Bizzare Kiana's attention, to give Bizarre Mei a target.

But she could also hinder his escape, trapping him between her attacks and the collapsing city. He wasn't as resilient as the Herrscher of the End. He needed time to heal, and time was running out.

"No more injuries."

He braced himself, preparing to dodge or destroy the incoming projectiles.

But the spatial distortions vanished.

"What's happening?"

"No time. Just go."

He reached the cave, glancing back. Why had she stopped? Bizarre Mei must have done something.

He entered the cave, shielded from the world's malice. But he didn't rush through. He had one more thing to do.

He opened the Notebook.

"You know what I'm going to do. Tell me the price."

[...] Silence.

"You can't see it? Or are you pretending?"

"I'm going to usurp Mei. What's the price?"

The Notebook stirred, flipping to the first page. One half was covered in blood, the paper torn and tattered.

[My name is Li Mo. If I summon the Bizzare Kiana again without a countermeasure, I will die.]

He looked at the other half. For the first time, the words weren't from his perspective, but from a Bizarre entity's.

[Where are you?!]

[Where are you?!]

[Where are you?!]

The distorted letters bled, oozing crimson, a wave of raw, unfiltered rage.

"This is your true face?" He raised his gun, aiming at the page, ready to burn it. It wouldn't die, but it might be intimidated.

The Notebook flipped to the second page.

[My name is Li Mo. When you read this, I am still alive.]

[I used Bizarre Mei to stall the Bizzare Kiana, then escaped to the cave.]

[The Bizzare Kiana's rage will consume the new world, resolving the incident.]

[But I'm not satisfied. I need a countermeasure for the Bizzare Kiana.]

[I considered several options:]

[Room 303: a phenomenon, too unpredictable.]

[Head Bizarre: too weak.]

[Pardofelis: bound to Elysia.]

[Elysia: needed in our world.]

[The Bizzare Kiana has left a medium within me. She'll return, stronger than before.]

[I need a countermeasure. Bizarre Mei is my best option.]

[She stalled the Bizzare Kiana, giving me time to escape.]

[And her guilt makes her… compliant. Even if I unleash Bizarre Mei, she'll suppress herself, out of loyalty.]

[But she's not strong enough.]

[I need more… tools…]

"You're avoiding the question. The price?"

[My name is Li Mo. At 11:10 PM, after three deaths, I used my left hand to usurp Mei.]

[I failed.]

"Failed? How?" It could usurp anything. What was the price he couldn't pay? Or was his method wrong?

[My name is Li Mo. I didn't use my power immediately. I waited until I was inside the cave.]

[The price will be the same as the cave's toll. Lose the same thing twice, gain two results. A worthwhile trade…]

[My name is Li Mo. When you read this, am I still… human?]

Li Mo understood. The same price as the cave's toll… he might as well take advantage of it, bring Mei with him.

The Notebook flipped open, the first page struggling against the second, then snapping forward, the world around him distorting, a faint pull from behind, growing stronger, trying to drag him back.

He checked his phone. 11:11 PM. Seven hours until the optimal transmigration time. The price would be steep.
