Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

……

"Feel sorry."

“My favorite.”

"The boy who no longer belongs to me."

"Although it's despicable and shameless, I can't stand this bleak life anymore."

Finally, the eve of her wish coming true arrived, and she finally touched upon the possibility of that moment. Alicia's eyes were filled with guilt.

In those prismatic pupils, which seemed to reflect the entire galaxy and all the beauty of the world, guilt and regret each held their own place.

Amidst all those complex and varied emotions, the thought of stopping or letting go was never present.

Time seemed to have turned back to three days ago.

Even after learning of the opportunity to revive the boy, she, unusually, shed some of her constraints and still hesitated about whether to revive him.

Under the scorching sun, I leaned against a tree and sat gently on the grass. The abandoned bicycle locked by the bus station was still there. The island's ring road was flat and spacious, and white sailboats and steamboats lined up along the harbor.

A bird suddenly took flight from the tree. Watching it disappear into the wavy stratocumulus clouds that covered the entire sky, I reached out to the sky, but the boy's expression and the sparkling starlight in his eyes were gone when we reached out together.

It was a loneliness that came from nowhere.

It's even more terrifying than an endless fall.

Falling brings pain, memories bring torment, but loneliness brings an indescribable feeling, as if your heart has been ripped out.

I can no longer be tolerant.

We can't tolerate this any longer.

The girl, who had been oppressed to the point of despair, could no longer accept being a mere spectator.

Whatever the boy may say, whatever punishment he may receive, please let yourself reclaim the boy, reclaim your paradise.

Finally, the girl stretched out her hands, for the goddess who was born into the world through a rare miracle would now display her own true authority.

The power of the Origin is sufficient to guide and even, to a certain extent, control the abilities of other Herrschers.

That belongs to the power of creation and annihilation.

It symbolizes death and life.

The whole world seemed to be about to shatter. With a 'crack', the edge between the material plane and the imaginary plane became less distinct and less solid.

The laboratory, which was originally shrouded in cold incandescent lights, suddenly transformed into a flawless paradise like a fairy tale.

Unlike before, after truly mastering and skillfully wielding the power of the Origin, combined with the power of the Herrscher of Death, the girl truly reached a certain level...

—A higher dimension.

The flowing lake water, the eternally blooming flowers, like an eggshell, yet they shattered the world on the roof, a paradise that only existed in imagination and fairy tales. The girl arrived at her true birthplace, the true meaning of the power of origin.

A broken sky, a pure moon.

No longer as naive as before, the girl stepping into this world feels the warmth of 'home'.

As a true Herrscher, the beginning of everything was an unparalleled miracle, and the only true home is the star and moon, which are truly far removed from the world.

The girl landed gently, the fluttering bells lifting her pure white skirt slightly, her toes lightly touching the ground, creating ripples like those on a lake.

only……

Those pink pupils narrowed slightly.

Within that holiness, the very essence of humanity shattered the flawless divinity, revealing a state utterly corrupted by the allure of human nature.

--Why……

Can't find it?

Perhaps the boy had been dead for too long, or perhaps he had no obsessions before he died.

There is absolutely no point in staying in one place and waiting for something.

Even with the power of Origin combined with the power of life, the boy's existence could not be found. It seemed that there really was an afterlife, a hell and a heaven, and that the boy had already gone to another world to reunite with Velvet.

Is it going to fail again?

Is it really impossible to even salvage the relationship?

This time there was no hesitation, and the problem was solved the moment the Herrscher was born, so why is the result still the same?

don't want……

No.

don't want! !

Please, please don't!!!

A mournful cry echoed in the girl's heart, a declaration of her complete self-collapse.

The first time, the second time, the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, the seventh time, the eighth time, the ninth time... I can't even count how many times I've failed.

No matter what you do, it will inevitably lead to a tragic outcome; no matter what choice you make, it will definitely be wrong.

Why can't I do anything?

……

……

……

"Is monopolizing Jiangcheng your [wish]?"

……

Instruments worth countless zeros were destroyed in an instant, specially made walls capable of withstanding the Great Collapse were torn apart and twisted, and the world's fewer than ten special samples were directly vaporized into air by the violently raging Collapse energy.

Every bite tastes like burning money.

If it weren't for my current elevated status and the fact that my treatment has increased more than tenfold compared to before, the funds that I used to have to use sparingly would now be fully utilized.

Möbius really wanted to grab the girl by the collar, point to the ruins and rubble, and ask her if she didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were because she didn't manage a household.

This will wipe out at least several trillion dollars.

Forget about the lab. Even if it can withstand nuclear bombs and the Great Honkai of Herrschers, it can't withstand such a massive amount of Honkai energy coming from inside the lab.

but……

Origin?

Alicia claims that she started with me.

It seems it's definitely not beauty or charm.

Thinking about it carefully, as a Herrscher who was born decades ago, the world's first Herrscher, it is quite normal for him to call himself the Origin Herrscher. It seems that this first one must have a rather special status among Herrschers.

No wonder she was so confident that the core of the Sixth Herrscher could save Jiangcheng.

That's outrageous.

What exactly did that boy do back then?

It could have turned the first Herrscher into what she is now.

Mebius recalled the Herrschers he had witnessed, whether on the battlefield or in the destructive scenes captured in real-time by satellite.

— Absolutely terrible.

They were all hysterical, insane, completely brainless, and only knew how to destroy, which was the complete opposite of this perfect and holy demeanor.

She even doubted whether those brainless Herrschers could utter a single word that could be understood by anyone from those mere ornaments.

Perhaps the boy is very talented, but all his talent has been used for nurturing.

In a sense, Vilvi was also trained by someone else.

and so……

After leaving Alicia and Velvi, will the boy be able to unleash his talents without the constraints and exploration of emotions?

Möbius felt as if he had discovered some truth.

If we delve deeper, it might become a discipline in itself.

On how to cultivate geniuses and law enforcers.

For the world today, this has both psychological and practical significance. If it were at a different time, Mebius would probably have written this idea down.

—The premise is that you can survive.

……

Mebius looked at his hands, which had begun to melt, and his heart, which had practically stopped beating; he was almost ready to begin a new molting process.

No wonder I was thinking so much just now; it turns out I was about to die.

—As expected of the core of the Herrscher of Death.

Fortunately, there is enough energy around us; every breath we take produces liquid Honkai energy. So we don't have to worry about being forced to shrink due to insufficient energy. If that happens, we'll have to create another little thing to stand on.

While she was still alive, she cut off the laboratory's reporting to the outside world and switched to in-depth research mode.

The Honkai energy testing equipment next to us has exploded, clearly indicating that it has exceeded its limit.

—The upper limit is 9000HW.

She could feel that this energy was still rising rapidly.

It is beyond human imagination, surpassing the scale of any previous Honkai event, and even all of them combined could not have accumulated to this extent, yet it continues to climb.

Although she couldn't see what the girl was doing, the inexplicable power had already caused this Judgment-level Fusion Warrior to feel pain all over her body, and she was slowly and almost inevitably heading towards death.

After numerous experiments, Möbius was able to identify the source of the pain in just one second.

—The erosion of Honkai energy.

The corruption should absolutely not appear on the Fusion Warrior.
