Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Only after his resurrection did the pressure on his soul, which had fallen into the abyss and sunk to the bottom of the sea, lessen, allowing his delicate heart to beat again and breathe fresh air once more.

however……

There is no fairy tale where a prince defeats the demon king and the dragon to rescue the princess, and they live happily ever after with treasure.

—Alisia resurrected only a puppet and a monster.

A monster whose memories of even Wilvi have become blurred, who has lost even the love for Wilvi that he could never forget.

This is undoubtedly an absolute tragedy, leading only to the worst possible future.

—If it weren't for the fourth option after that garbled text.

That theoretically impossible garbled code gave rise to entirely new possibilities, making it possible that everything, at least on the surface, wasn't so bad.

Has this relationship even broken through all limitations?

It seems that for those few remaining relatives...

He really did care from the very beginning.

Although Velvi would undoubtedly take over more territory, and although he would still do the same thing if it were Velvi in ​​front of him.

But even now.

There was still only Alicia standing in front of her.

In a sense, it could also be described as remaining faithful to one person until death.

It also represents the original Alicia, whom he found in the forest when he was first born, and the person he saw when he was about to die.

Even now, though she has become a puppet and been resurrected, all she sees in her eyes is that demon.

……

No matter how much he complained, how annoyed, or how much he hated the girl's behavior, when faced with the real choice, Jiang Cheng still chose option four.

There is no other reason.

It was only when he was five years old, on his first long journey, that he crossed the long ash forest and parted the branches, that he saw a girl lying under the treetops, her clear, pure, pinkish-blue eyes staring straight at him, as if from a fairy tale, bathed in sunlight.

From that moment on, my initial understanding of beauty was established.

The luckiest thing was that her first adventure in life brought her the most precious gift: a fairy that only existed in romance and paradise.

——Aliceia.

Although the greatest misfortune in life also stems from this.

The other party is a hero who will inevitably sacrifice everything to save the world, a goddess who loves everyone, and the only true self in this world.

This vast and overflowing love is destined to allow one person to occupy only a very small share, and is destined to be unable to possess this beauty all to oneself.

Actually, he didn't like someone who was gentle to everyone.

Because gentleness doesn't mean there can't be traps.

The girl's gentleness is directed towards everyone, and she doesn't dislike ordinary people. This seems like a beautiful thing that is almost impossible to exist in reality, but ordinary people rarely get the girl's attention. Those who can get her attention are destined to be special people.

Regardless of their strengths or weaknesses, these special individuals are more likely to attract the attention of young girls.

Look.

In this respect, they are truly unique.

So they deserve more attention and care from the girls, don't they?

Correspondingly, those who are neither special nor in need of help should not receive so much love and tenderness.

This is truly impeccable, truly gentle, and truly indescribable in its expression of anger and dissatisfaction.

It's as if every time you inflict even the slightest harm, every time you slash someone's body, you have to explain in great detail why you did it to them.

Yes.

Alicia may not dislike herself, but the girl will definitely share more of this love and care with those who need it and who are different from others.

She's so persuasive; everything is so fair and voluntary.

They are even powerless to deny or be annoyed by anything, and can only keep fighting internally... because it looks so gentle and so beautiful.

I don't dislike anyone who seems ordinary; I just focus my attention on those who are more special and in need.

It's truly a gentle yet inescapable trap.

When this seemingly selfless, unconditional love needs to be pursued with special treatment, or needs to gain more attention through subjective competition, then unconditional love becomes a conditional trap.

This conditional love can tame a person, making them truly insecure and sensitive... because the pressure that cannot be released to the outside world can only accumulate in their heart.

Feelings don't just disappear into thin air. All emotions can only be kept in memory, as if they don't exist, but one day they will eventually sprout again.

There is only one way to rewrite this tragedy, to rewrite this despair, and that is incredibly difficult for many people.

There is indeed a kind of preference in this world that neither craves efficiency nor requires special treatment, but only seeks a kind of elusive yet most real happiness.

Does whether your family member is "special" or not affect your "love" for them?

'And you've always possessed this capacity to love.'

……

It's both very simple and very difficult.

If I stay with Alicia, I'm afraid I'll never get through this ordeal; it will only cause more and more illnesses to grow in my heart.

This is the reason for their mutual commitment, and the reason why he and Vervière truly fell in love.

He dislikes gentle people. Gentle girls are actually gentle to everyone, but he mistakenly believes they are only gentle to him. As a result, he becomes complacent and arrogant, which eventually leads to a falling out and both parties being hurt.

Jiang Cheng is actually very selfish. He wants to monopolize the other person's attention and heart, but he is unwilling to share this love with anyone.

But when he actually saw that flawless girl, he realized why, even through a screen, countless people called themselves believers in the Gate of Love, and why that girl was described as flawless and perfect.

It's hard for real people to realize this; only by immersing themselves in romance and emotion can they truly appreciate the charm of that young woman.

Gentle people are truly admired by everyone, and what we call being disliked is actually self-loathing.

I despise my own selfishness, I despise my own shamelessness.

I hate myself and I might even hate gentle people.

All the traps we've encountered are largely due to the persistent and ever-present evils of possessiveness and greed.

If he could have another chance to choose, Jiang Cheng hoped that at least this time he wouldn't hurt anyone, and that he wouldn't become the Alicia he once was.

This is a simulator.

It would be truly pathetic if we couldn't even do as we pleased here.

The only odd thing is that the Herrschers of the previous civilization do not seem to have had their shackles broken by fate, and are still just high-ranking puppets.

Can this really be overcome by feelings alone?

……

……

You decide to comfort the girl who is kneeling and sobbing in front of you.

This heart, already scarred by countless wounds, can no longer withstand any more setbacks; another fall would likely lead to utter numbness.

Even the most flawless fairy cannot live without replenishing her beautiful soul; let her forever cherish endless passion and love.

Unable to understand or find the reason for this inexplicable feeling, and despite not knowing where that driving force comes from, you finally decide to go and comfort Alicia.

[With a gentle touch of the fingertips, a dazzling yet subtle beauty, like the twinkling of stars, is created, and the bright light illuminates those dazed pink eyes.]

Tears streamed down her face, making even her cute cheeks look a little messy.

"Don't cry, okay?"

"It wouldn't be good if a beautiful girl like you smudged her makeup with tears."

The girl slowly raised her head, her tear-filled pupils trembling, the slightest glimmer of hope long since extinguished.

Having experienced so much, even my emotions were almost completely exhausted. The last bit of emotion that this body, battered and bruised by countless tragedies, could muster was just used up.

It seems that even my sense of self is wearing down.

To completely disappear from the world.

The boy remained the same as before, his eyes empty, only able to sense the vastness of the starlight, but now, he seemed to have some worries.

I can sense that you are very sad.

"But I don't know exactly where this sadness is, and it seems that my presence here will make you sad, and my choice to leave will also make you sad, but if I want to hurt you, my heart will keep aching."

"As the only person I clearly remember, perhaps even after becoming the Seventh Herrscher, the instincts of this body have not disappeared."

“I don’t want to see you like this, so I won’t hurt or bully you. Just feeling your sadness makes my heart ache too.”

"so……"

The boy paused for a moment, and a glimmer of starlight seemed to appear in his eyes, just as it had before.

"Can you tell me what I can do?"

……

……

……

The boy hadn't changed at all.

Alicia can confirm this.

The feeling emanating from those eyes remained the same as before, as if gazing directly at the stars in the sky—brilliant and eternal, yet lonely and aloof.

They shouldn't have any feelings.

They should have become tools for the collapse of the world.

Why……
