Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

It was as if she had transformed from one machine into another, or as a gear that only knew how to do work, and began to repeat the same thing over and over again—the fairy-like girl, though she had taken action and interacted with others for the first time, could only endlessly utter a name.

Words brimming with deep emotion, whose depth of feeling cannot be judged by words or the heart, are like stagnant water tossed with a stone, creating ripples that endlessly batter the edges.

Perhaps when the power provided by that stone is exhausted, and the coin thrown into the rocking horse is used up, the cute fairy girl will turn back into what she was before... a broken stone, a stopped gear.

pain……

sad……

I feel guilty...

Self-destruction...

It was clearly stiff and repetitive, yet what could be felt from each cry was an endless, agonizing pain, as if falling into a void.

All fears echoed silently in the darkness, all pain plummeted endlessly into the abyss, and all discontent swayed precariously.

The anger that had been ignited within had also burned out, burning everything to ashes. Even the weeds that the gun could have ignited were burned away, leaving only emptiness, a void so profound that even darkness could not sustain life there.

Even despair itself is worn away by time, leaving not a trace. Even the most immortal boulder will turn to dust and become nothingness as the waves crash and the wind erodes it.

A dense mass of negative emotions piles up to create the only glimmer of hope for the beautiful woman, only to have her struggle against despair, and the conflict of contradictions leads to nothingness.

There is no absolute nothingness in this world; all matter only increases, never decreases—yet the meaning of nothingness lies in the human heart.

The corners of her eyes, which should have been delicate and smiling, were red; her lips, which should have been soft and sweet, were bitten and bleeding; and her fingertips, which should have been holding fragrant flowers to offer to the world, were pressed against the cold floor.

Pink, like a flower, like the most fragrant and beautiful cherry blossom in spring, blown away by the wind, the eyes that fall into it can only see nothing, and after all that, there is only a sorrow as deep as water.

Anyone would feel sorry for them, right?

Anyone would feel sad, right?

Anyone would feel sorry for them, right?

It was an emotion from the deepest part of my heart, rising up involuntarily, crowding out all thoughts and emotions, and ultimately becoming the sole dominant force.

--mercy.

Active compassion, passive compassion.

No one with a heart of stone can resist this. Even someone born with a broken heart, whose emotions are different from those of ordinary people, will be forced into sadness.

Even the slightest ripple of that emotion surged forth like a tidal wave, feeling as overwhelming and intense as a stormy sea to anyone present.

It was like a repeat of the first time they met Alicia. Helpless and at a loss, the people were like a lone sail in the vast sky, without even oars, and powerless to fight against the surging waves, letting themselves be tossed about in the storm, unable to resist.

Helplessly, he could only clasp his hands together, praying in the most humble and powerless way that he wouldn't be overturned, dragged to the bottom of the sea, submerged by layers of seawater, and pressed down until the last breath of air was exhaled from his chest.

However, while Ying Jie, who was watching from afar, was trapped in a predicament, Wilvi, who was right next to him, simply crossed her arms over her chest and supported her breasts.

Even the most turbulent waves can be navigated with a good sense of direction, allowing one to ride a skateboard and create the most dazzling moments. Unfortunately, the boy that the girl loves is the same boy that Alicia loves. From the very beginning, they have been going with the flow and have no need to go against the current.

……

"You're a piece of trash who can't even beat a newbie monster, even with a game guide, walkthrough, full buffs, and a full set of max-level gear."

"What's with your sadness? What's with your tears? Do you think you can bring Jiangcheng back by crying here day and night?"

"It's not good to be so demanding of you, considering you had a childhood friend who still had a lot of affection for you until the very end, yet you still easily lost to a good-for-nothing like me~"

"You can't do anything. Even if you appear in front of him, the only thing you can do is make the boy feel bad."

Velvi silently watched the fairy struggling in pain. Even her eyes, which had been ignited with hope, were utterly cold at this moment. Even the voice that had once invited the boy to attack with a delicate gesture was unlike anything she had ever heard before—a coldness that even the most wicked could not match, a cruelty that only the sun could soften.

She simply leaned down slightly, suppressing her own feelings, at least appearing calm, to judge the girl who had sunk to the deepest part of the sea and merged into one with it. Her fair, lotus-root-like arms unconsciously squeezed her snow-white, tender breasts, which were like water bags.

The flowing, delicate white possesses an inescapable, abyssal-level attraction, a deep, snow-white that also reveals that silent and cold face, filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, yet ignoring it like a pebble on the roadside.

"So I won't give you a chance, not even a little bit of mercy, because that's the only way you deserve to be rewarded."

"—The imperfect Alicia."

……

……

……

call……

What the hell?

Why am I hallucinating seeing Velvi slapping Alicia again?

The fingertips that had been calling for the shooting star had not yet been withdrawn, and the boundless and deep sphere, like a black hole, still lay quietly on the palm of the hand. The destructive power of Honkai energy, like a shrew, had not subsided, and the blue pupils, whose ripples had not yet calmed down, reflected pink as if in a hallucination.

After wielding his authority and using some of the results from the previous simulation, he once again experienced hallucinations related to the girl, even more vividly than when he couldn't sleep before.

In the simulation, the two people most important to you are fighting.

To be precise, it was a one-sided attack.

One side is angry, the other is indifferent.

—Isn't that too strange?

Wilvi wasn't such a violent person. In fact, she was usually quite withdrawn, someone who didn't dare to or want to talk to anyone, and who looked like someone with severe depression. The only thing related to harm in her life was her violent behavior, which she enjoyed performing alone.

It's just a preference.

It's the kind that's limited to one person only.

That fairy lady wasn't the type to accept unreasonable and sudden attacks without reason; even if she didn't retaliate, she would dodge immediately.

Loving everyone is a general term that refers to having goodwill towards everyone and being willing to help others. It's not an innate mental construct; it stems from the idea of ​​loving everything connected to the people, believing that humans are inherently kind.

Because Alicia was originally taken in by someone, she was cleansed by human love and grew up immersed in happiness and beauty.

Having experienced kindness from the beginning, even if one encounters evil later, one will always believe that people can repent because of childhood experiences.

In reality, it simply means that one's basic goodwill towards humans is higher, but it doesn't mean that one can do whatever one wants. Furthermore, basic goodwill is not indefinitely depleted; it will also decrease rapidly when encountering bad things or malicious people.

If someone wants to hit you, you should offer your face up; if someone slaps you on the left, you should offer your right cheek so they can slap you again.

It is absolutely, completely, and certainly impossible for Alicia to appear.

It can only be described as a hallucination or delusion.

Or perhaps it's the last lingering echo after making up for regrets.

It's not a so-called "lowering of intelligence" or the assumption that it won't affect the world. Because of the blessing of the stars and moon, it's normal to feel the paradise aspect as a result, but this particular scene will absolutely not occur.

Even if Alicia and Velvet were to meet in a simulation, it would be virtually impossible, almost like something out of a light novel.

Even if Wilvi's emotions are understandable, it's because the other party knows about what happened between Alicia and herself after her death that caused her anger.

Alicia would never act like that... like a stone, a stone that had never reached such despair even before her death.

This is not a possible branch of the fairy lady. It's impossible that she lived in the world for a very long time after I died and experienced many things that were just as impactful as my death.

How can it be?

This is my simulator.

Even if the scene perceived through the eyes is slightly normal, the boy might still wonder if the heroes in the paradise after the simulation ends can inherit his memories, just like in a novel.

But what I see gets more and more outrageous and bizarre each time, as if I've been possessed by an idiot, deliberately showcasing inexplicable comedy.

It doesn’t matter anymore.

Jiang Cheng gently grasped the Starry Sea Harmony floating in the air, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and when he opened his calm, dark blue pupils again, all he saw was the extremely beautiful scene on the horizon that had not yet faded away.

……

209. In any case, reason is destined to lose to emotion.

"It's so beautiful..."

Looking at the most unrestrained and bold stroke of pink drawn on the dim yellow canvas, and the most intense and surging aurora when a meteor breaks through the atmosphere, the boy slowly lowered his arm, which had already developed several dark purple lines.

Although it dims slightly the moment it appears, the damage to the body is reduced by the second, but there is still pain for a fleeting moment.

With a speed exceeding the first cosmic velocity, the boy traveled from the Far East Chiba Academy in the Northern Hemisphere, across continents and half the Earth, to the airspace above Vostok-51 within half an hour.

Wandering from Asia to Europe at an unimaginable speed, just to reach hills that have lost all their former beauty 50,000 years later.

In fact, if one were to unleash their full speed and choose to use their power as if wielding a scepter, the time would only be faster.

The distortion of gravity.

The power of the Herrscher of the Stars.

Although all Herrschers' abilities, except for End and Origin which are on different levels, are basically at the same level, such as Restraint, Domination, Truth, Imaginary Number, and Flame... if they really want to fight each other, they can only rely on numerical compatibility.

However, in terms of versatility, without considering technological advancements or one's own intelligence, gravity might be the most useful one.

After all, the ability to fight is limited by the amount of effort put in and how it is used. If you throw it at someone who has little imagination or who is not good at learning, their combat effectiveness will be quite limited.

The Lawbringers of Reason, on the other hand, require a great deal of time and effort to develop their technology and civilization to reach their theoretical limits when their technological civilization is not up to par. They may even need to actively advance the weapon development process themselves.

In most cases, the strongest output can only be achieved through the Divine Key. However, this kind of weapon is not something that the Herrscher of Reason, as the First Herrscher, is qualified to touch under normal circumstances. It is a god-slaying weapon made by humans, used by humans, and forged from materials used to kill gods. Even the previous civilizations only started to deal with it after the Sixth Herrscher. Even if you want to survive, you need to survive for a very, very long time.

The ability to distort gravity and manipulate gravitation is the only one that even a brainless idiot or moron can use with terrifying force, making it the least mentally demanding of all powers.

Simple controls, simple use; this giant spiked mace, with its sheer size, possesses a combat power surpassing that of a gun when simply swung.

It means you don't need to use your brain at all. Unlike the previous two, which at least require some consideration of how to use them, the latter only requires you to learn how to use basic attacks. Pulling is done by gravity field, moving is done by instinct, and attacking is done by gravity pressure.

In terms of speed, it's even simpler. Considering that the Herrscher's physical body doesn't bear the gravity of a Herrscher's body, the speed can be at least dozens of times faster.

The boy still chose a rather time-consuming method, insisting on taking each step one by one, as if he were retracing a journey.

Although at this flight speed, the scenery below is nowhere to be seen, the slowness and strolling are relative to the Herrscher, who is already an extraordinary life form.

It doesn't matter.
