Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

It's better to have none at all than to be misunderstood, insulted, and ridiculed. That's why such harsh and excessive words are used to force others to leave.

People who grow up in unhealthy environments are incapable of loving others normally. They have never received complete love or experienced personal emotions, so how can they possibly learn to love normally?

Even the most brilliant geniuses, those who have everything under their control, are not immune to this.

This stems from the imperfections, flaws, and brokenness within oneself.

The essence of humanity remains firmly stuck here, unrelated to anything else—power, talent, or anything else. The only way to transcend this is to cease to be human, to break free from this innate constraint inherent to humanity.

It is not just in terms of strength, but also in terms of life that it transcends the existing limitations of humankind, becoming a new species that cannot be biologically called human.

It truly means that even human emotions must be abandoned, including love, sorrow, joy, and loss.

Perhaps the Möbius of ten years ago, who was still arrogant and unaware of his own limitations and had never truly explored his own heart, might have arrogantly agreed.

Now standing here, having received warmth from others only to have it evaporate like a bubble, and after paying an incredibly heavy price, Möbius has finally arrived at the position he once desired, and has everything he wanted.

I'm no longer as foolish as I used to be, easily making promises I can't keep.

--no!

This is the only one!

Absolutely not!

If all emotions are completely lost, then the individual is essentially erased, leaving only an empty shell.

This is not limited to individual cognition and self-constitution, nor is it merely because it is still constrained by the ethics of this era.

In the energy known as Honkai, emotions are an extremely important factor. If this is lost, even Honkai will not acknowledge or affirm it.

The evolution of life is inherently ugly and can never achieve true perfection, so why pursue things that are fundamentally impossible?

This imperfection, this unhealthiness, this abnormal self that has never received normal care, cannot be denied in any way.

It can only be accepted.

It can only be recognized.

It can only be affirmed.

An abnormal person is incapable of providing normal things, of giving healthy and sufficient love, and of raising a healthy and normal person.

Mebius was well aware that he couldn't do it.

This is not something that can be overcome simply by talent.

Rather, if it's not present at birth or during childhood, it's unlikely to be present later in life. Perhaps she had such an opportunity, but she only touched upon the very edge before losing it.

Right now, all that's here is a demonic scientist, a scholar who doesn't care about individual will and has little empathy.

and so……

Only then could she allow Alicia.

……

"Vilvie's important components are not only her heavy love, but also her talent and ability to support that girl's wild thoughts."

“If she were just an ordinary person, she wouldn’t have the right to be so anxious and insecure, and she wouldn’t have the ability to spy on your life with Jiang Cheng.”

"Whether it's something that seems completely capricious or some other whimsical idea, you need to have enough talent and ability to make it happen."

"In terms of uniqueness and strength, no one in the entire world can match you, but only in wisdom..."

Mebius didn't continue speaking, unusually possessing a tiny bit of emotional intelligence, he shut his mouth at just the right moment, because what came out of those crimson lips was only a cold and piercing denial, while only his eyes, which should have been like a sinister viper, highlighting cruelty and inhumanity, showed affirmation.

"Don't worry, I'll help you. As for your talent, just playing her is enough, even if you're not good at some of the things."

"Jiang Cheng's amnesia seems to have made him forget a lot of his own talents. If it is not stimulated again, he may remain the same as before."

"If you just live happily as an ordinary person, you won't even notice some flaws, right?"

—Mebius will indeed help Alicia.

No matter how disgusting.

No matter how much you hate it.

Whether it's simply looking at this girl, or someone whose personality and behavior are completely opposite to hers and whose attributes are fundamentally incompatible, one can feel disgust and want to kick her out immediately.

She is indeed not someone who would compromise herself. Like the top chef described in the story of Butcher Ding dissecting an ox, she can always avoid the parts that cause mental exhaustion and deal with all problems in the best and most perfect way.

If it's for Jiangcheng's sake...

For the sake of that one and only birthday cake.

—Only once.

Mebius felt he could learn to accept it.

It can be the first time you experience internal conflict, the first time you become a bad chef, and the first time you give up the privileges that belong only to geniuses.

Forcibly suppressing my own aversion, forcibly suppressing that disgust, I chose to help the person I hate the most, the person I just want to vomit at the sight of.

The evolution and eternity of life are destined to be ugly; there is no such thing as perfection or absolute beauty in this world.

Even after fusing Shesa's genes and conducting numerous experiments, the result is still near-immortality, not absolute immortality.

Perhaps one day, through research on Honkai, true immortality can be achieved, but the price to pay will inevitably be unimaginable.

Having truly experienced the loss and non-existence of everything, Möbius is no longer as ignorant and arrogant as he once was.

The limitations of human life mean that we tend to overlook the things that exist around us every moment, and only experience pain when we lose them.

Maybe.

Perhaps it's acceptable.

Perhaps I cannot accept it.

Everything is a complete unknown.

At least Mebius didn't want Jiangcheng to experience pain again, nor did he want to witness that fleeting moment of happiness once more.

She once thought she was a very open-minded person, which didn't mean she didn't hold grudges, but rather that nothing would cause her serious psychological distress.

No matter what the past has been like, no matter what ugliness has been witnessed, it will ultimately become the driving force for progress, constantly moving towards eternity.

—This is ultimately just an arrogant idea.

It wasn't until the Second Great Collapse that Möbius truly realized how foolish his past confidence, arrogance, and belief that he could control everything and achieve his goals had been.

An inexplicable, indescribable emotion, like a persistent leech, lingered in my heart, constantly surging within me.

It's not just about feeling powerless to lose two important people on the same day, or realizing that you can't rewrite all the tragedies.

It is something clearer, more painful, and more palpable called guilt.

in case……

Jiangcheng didn't dig me out back then.

Does that give him time to save Virvi?

……

"what……"

"You... can tell."

The gentle voice interrupted my deep thoughts of reminiscing, and the unforgettable fragments of the past, the undeniable emotions, suddenly shattered.

It was as if, dragged into the towering library by those drifting memories, the rude shouting and clamor of others broke out in what should have been a quiet place, forcibly waking me from my thoughts.

In the blurred vision, the boy's concerned and worried gaze disappeared, leaving only the cherry-pink eyes so close to her.

What was reflected in those pupils was the panic and helplessness that others had pointed out.

So noisy...

what……

Can't you still forget?

It happened several years ago.

My vision wasn't very clear back then, so I couldn't tell what emotions were in his eyes.

He wasn't a fusion warrior, nor did he undergo any enhancement experiments; he was just an ordinary person. How could he possibly retain clear perception after being severely injured? Even opening his eyes was an effort he had to exert.

Now, what I remember is so clear, not only the general outline of the surrounding ruins, but even the expression on Jiang Cheng's face is so vivid.

It's because of the instinct to gradually blur and fill in the past with a filter... Although if it were Jiang Cheng, he would definitely be worried too.

He's always like this; he keeps his distance while still being willing to show concern for others. He's willing to waste his time on anyone who can understand him.

This is clearly a stupid thing to do...

If it were someone without conscience, someone who doesn't care about kindness, they would only be used as a stepping stone.

Mebius took a deep breath, and the resentment he felt was replaced by relief the moment he exhaled. For the first time, all the coldness in his eyes, which always maintained their haughty demeanor, disappeared.

How can I be completely devoid of emotion?

—It's not some mindless beast.

I want to be cold but can't be completely cold; I don't want those meaningless feelings, but those meaningless feelings still exist in my heart.

Jiang Cheng's abilities are truly remarkable. He might be the strongest genius, capable of making everyone as anxious and insecure as Wilvie.

But in this world, only those who have nothing, those who are barefoot, and those who have never experienced anything can forge ahead.

No matter who it is, if they possess something they cannot give up, they will inevitably be bound by that thing.

Mebius raised his head and looked directly into the girl's pupils again, a tenderness that existed only for a moment and was not noticed by anyone in the world.

“I don’t have amnesia like Jiang Cheng, so how could I not see it? Or do you think that my memories of Wilvie, the only genius who can rival me, are so vivid that even deliberate imitation wouldn’t reveal them?”

"Alicia, I don't even know what to say to you. You don't actually think that I wasted all those days on my birthday, do you?"

"Stop wasting time talking about useless things. Quickly give me what you're going to do, and I'll help you plan out the problems."

"My understanding of Vervi is not as profound as yours, but in terms of talent, you are far inferior to me."
