Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Isn't this a tragedy she herself created?

Blanca, Jiangcheng, Vilvi...

Wasn't it all because of her inaction that she died?

None of these three people should have died. They should have continued living lives that might not have been so happy, and they might have had to carefully navigate the devastation of collapse, but they would never have suffered such regrets.

Ironically, the only person in the world at that time who could fight against the Herrscher of the Void chose to waste time, thus losing the best opportunity.

It doesn't matter.

Even the feeling of guilt has been exhausted.

Before seeing the boy again, it's likely that not a single emotion, joy, or sorrow will ever arise in this heart again.

Alicia simply moved forward calmly, approaching another madman step by step.

……

……

I see you.

I see your life.

It's okay.

The answer to love is the desire to be seen.

It is this shared trauma that allows us to see each other.

Suffering can bring people closer together.

The same suffering can even make two people with very different personalities empathize.

and so……

"—You should know why I'm here."

74. Möbius: Want to atone for your sins... Dream on!

“I know, of course I know, just as you know me.”

“Alicia, Jiang Cheng’s childhood sweetheart, was found by him in the woods when she was five years old. After a brief period of intimacy, she completely abandoned and ignored him.”

"During the long journey, you will spend no more than five hours a day looking at Jiangcheng, and that is even if you are living in a tent."

“Every year you hold a grand banquet for Jiang Cheng’s birthday, but you never let Jiang Cheng host the banquet and invite Wilvi.”

"Therefore, you successfully introduced a third person into the lives of two people, causing their relationship to heat up rapidly until they decided to leave together."

The seemingly cold and indifferent narration, resembling a third-person perspective, softly reads out the information it knows.

But when the conversation turned to Jiangcheng being ignored, there was a clear hint of anger in his voice—anger that his friend, one of the few friends in the world he had, had experienced the same kind of neglect as he had.

Things only gradually calmed down when the boy met Wilvi, to the point that he felt regretful about the disappearance of this sweet and beautiful memory.

Living alone for a long time, there is no need to wear a mask anymore. Even the cruelest experiments will be supported by others, to the point that one forgets how to hide oneself and how to pretend to be a harmless person.

……

"Danger assessment for the Moth of Flame: High. This individual can be found all over the world and is suspected of possessing power surpassing that of the Second Herrscher."

"If it's you, the bad guy, the one Jiang Cheng couldn't forget until the very end, then it's not incomprehensible that you would defeat the Herrscher."

Möbius put his glasses back on, his dark green gaze, like that of a venomous snake hidden in a deep forest, clearly penetrating the cold lenses.

"but……"

"why?

“You should know my status and my rights. As one of the world’s last remaining top scholars and the last veteran member of the Firemoth, no one can stop me if I want to turn the White House into a laboratory.”

"You know, these are two of my only three friends in my life who risked their lives to fight for my position. Why should I rely on you to study the Laws?"

"You are nothing more than a childhood sweetheart who never came to see Jiang Cheng until he died, and the only rival of Vilvi who stood shoulder to shoulder with me."

"Why would you think that I, a devilish scientist who lives off my friend's inheritance, would help you?"

"Ah……"

"Ah……"

Even Mebius couldn't help but laugh.

The corners of his mouth, seemingly indifferent, were raised high, a laugh that was ironic, pathetic, and desolate.

Perhaps it's just as those people said.

—She really is a jinx.

—An undeniable jinx.

He caused the death of his mother, brought disaster to his father, and turned a gentle man into that ugly person. He then caused the deaths of three more people in succession.

He has been my assistant since the beginning, a friend who remains gentle even to me, and the only genius who can rival me.

All the close people I've met in my life, all the people who could understand me, have been killed by me.

But doesn't that just show how tenacious they are?

look!

They are all dead, only I am still alive.

No matter how talented, gentle, kind, or easygoing they were, once they're dead, it's all gone. They're just words on the lips, foolishly mourned, as if that makes them still alive.

How can it be?

How can it be? !

How can it be! ! !

Now that he has reached the highest position, he can freely study even the core of the Herrscher, and almost no one can restrain his behavior. Therefore, Mu Dalu, who still insists on humanity, is denying it.

"The core of the Herrscher of Death is that it is truly possible to achieve the effect of resurrection. With my power and authority, I can resurrect Jiang Cheng and Blanca."

"—I am a Herrscher!"

……

……

Mebius's glasses nearly fell off, and he could no longer maintain his seemingly indifferent and ruthless demeanor—he saw the girl in front of him suddenly take a step forward, put her hand on her chest, and her cherry-blossom-like pupils showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

The girl seemed completely unaware of what her identity represented.

They had no idea what it meant to declare oneself a Herrscher in front of someone called a demon scientist who had completely lost his humanity.

—The Lawyer.

A lawyer with thoughts and feelings.

He was possibly the first Herrscher to arrive in the world, and the first Herrscher was only five years younger than the dinosaur that arrived in Jiangcheng.

It's absolutely stunning from any angle.

Even someone without a brain could realize how important this was.

For a top scholar like Mebius...

That thought, even if it only flashes through my mind for a second, can generate hundreds of ways to study it, which is worth far more than a body-sized amount of dark matter.

She simply suppressed her trembling hands and pushed her slightly misaligned glasses back in place.

"I see."

"I agree."

"Next, go to the training ground and demonstrate your abilities so I can study them a little..."

"never mind."

Mebius shook his head, and beneath his cold and ruthless glasses, a gentle glint flashed in his seemingly sinister and vicious blue eyes.

The devilish scientist chose to abandon the life-size dark matter that was within his grasp.

Even now, they have abandoned all moral principles and gone completely mad.

Even if the person in front of you is a bad guy.

……

"As long as I don't die, you can study me as you please."

"As long as I don't die, it's fine."

"As long as I can stay alive."

The beautiful girl, having clearly escaped the clutches of the devil, the cold-blooded demon, seemed dissatisfied and reiterated her statement once again with a firm tone.

"unnecessary."

This time, all previous hesitation had faded, replaced by complete denial and firmness.

Mebius calmly adjusted his glasses.

"Jiang Cheng gave me gifts, made me a cake with Wilvi on my birthday, and stayed up all night to process my experimental data for three days. You are an important person to him, his only family. I will not hurt you."

……

……

Since that birthday, she has never received a single gift or cake.

Because everything offered was blatantly about profit.
