Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

The shockwave generated by the sword strike washed away the surrounding filthy flames, which flickered and were about to go out like a dying candle.

at the same time……

She slaughtered tens of millions of innocent humans. With just one Herrscher, she brought calamity (Pandora).

"He vanquished thousands upon thousands of ferocious monsters. With just one overlord, he brought hope (Elbis)."

……

[Amidst the ruins filled with despair, the apostles' mournful cries of divine wrath are revealed.]

"In the city where despair has been forgotten, the cheers of the triumphant return of the heroes resound."

……

The girl grinned wildly amidst the smoke of gunpowder, yet a tear glistened in the corner of her eye.

"The man on the hill couldn't help but shed tears, a smile appearing on his face."

……

The girl felt a surge of satisfaction at the thought that she had destroyed such a shameless and despicable civilization.

"A man feels incredibly proud when he thinks that he has protected an irreplaceable and precious smile."

……

Perhaps, the girl has the right to take revenge herself.

"Moreover, men have the right to be proud."

……

The malice that has been settled through your destruction... what can be undone by looking back?

"The seeds that have survived because of your protection will surely bloom into beautiful flowers in the future."

……

The 'Apostles' were destroyed.

The 'hero' chose to retire into seclusion.

Until the second round of 'reshuffling' arrived.

Everything has turned upside down.

"Bah~"

The clash between the flaming swords, though merely an aftershock of the scattering flames, melted the ground beneath their feet.

At this moment, the 'story/legend' that is completely opposite to that in consciousness and in reality continues.

A girl who had once passed away longs to return to the warm embrace she can no longer feel, and to become her daughter, through a 'dream' in her heart.

The hero, who had retired to a distant land, carried countless grievances as he fulfilled his final duty day after day.

……

She has a new name—Kiana Kaslana.

He chose to conceal his identity and called himself Aiton.

……

When the young girl is once again haunted by the 'cause' of her past, her beloved mentor dies because of her.

When the hero hears himself being called a fool, a loser, a clown by others, his pent-up resentment finally erupts.

……

The girl was once in despair and wanted to end her own life.

The hero has become utterly disillusioned with the world and no longer holds onto his original aspirations.

……

The girl ultimately chose to stand firm in her beliefs and fulfill her promise.

The hero ultimately chose revenge, to retaliate against the hypocritical and ignorant people of the world.

At this point...

The villain has embarked on the path of a hero.

The 'hero' has fallen into the quagmire of the 'villain'.

later……

Kiana Kaslana saved the city from becoming a ghost town.

Epimetheus once saved a poor young girl.

In reality, I heard the recitation originating from the white-haired Valkyrie once again...

"Shut up."

Epimetheus gritted his teeth and was forced back a small step by his opponent.

Kiana Kaslana defeated the thousand Herrschers who attempted to destroy the world.

"Epimetheus once reclaimed a destroyed kingdom from the clutches of monsters."

"Shut up!"

Epimetheus's hands, holding the sword, were already trembling.

Ah, Kiana Kaslana, you've finally grown up and become a respectable knight (hero).

“Ah, Epimetheus, you were once a true hero.”

"Shut up, ahhhhhh~"

"boom!"

Epimetheus, his face contorted in rage, roared.

The flames swirling around the Flame Vulture Greatsword had reached their peak, soaring straight into the sky.

What an irony!

How cruel is this?

Before the fallen, former 'hero,' a completely opposite existence (incarnation) appears.

Epimetheus once believed that all the despair and malice he had experienced in the past were unbearable for anyone.

So he wanted revenge.

But now... right in front of him.

This girl (incarnation) has a more tragic past and a more unbearable beginning.

Both he and she had many friends who were willing to trust them.

He and she both lost far too much.

But he chose revenge.

And she chose to make a commitment.

"This world is certainly not a perfect place, but there are people who tell me not to give up."

"Bah~"

The white-haired Valkyrie once again clashed swords with Epimetheus. As their eyes met, the Valkyrie said with a serious expression, "I think you were the same way back then."

As mentioned before, 'Heavenly Fire' has the passive effect of transmitting consciousness (memory).

The Heralds of Flame... or rather, Ling Shu, Kong, and Ying, who are in a 'trinity' state, have all 'seen' the past of the person in front of them.

The belated 'hero', though he ultimately defeated the monster, was struck on the head by a stone thrown by a citizen who had lost a loved one, causing blood to gush from his cheek.

His comrades-in-arms, who fought alongside him, sacrificed their lives after exhaustion, but because the "expedition" failed, they were not even allowed to leave a tombstone, and they suffered the world's scorn along with him.

"If you want to humiliate someone, picking on me alone isn't enough, is it?"

"Don't the deceased even deserve the last shred of dignity?"

Is this how you (the world) treat the warriors who have fought for you all this time?

Ling Shu could understand why Epimetheus hated humanity so much.

He also hated those ingrates, those shameless people who only knew how to harm the good.

He always believed that those bastards weren't worth saving.

He even wanted to stomp on it a couple of times.

and so……

He (Ling Shu) is not a hero.

Epimetheus was no longer a hero.

A hero is a 'fool'—someone who knows he will suffer losses, yet still acts without hesitation, willingly accepting them, willingly making sacrifices, and willingly giving his all. He is a respectable person.

"Boom!"

The entire Olympia region trembled violently for a moment.

The sun god (Helios), who has long been reduced to a puppet, is about to completely absorb the corrupted 'fire of heaven'.

And it was at this very moment...

"You are not a 'hero,' but you can borrow the power of a 'hero'... is that right?"

Epimetheus said in a deep voice, "Very good."

“You are indeed the most suitable opponent (enemy) to stand in my way here, at this moment.”

He stared directly at the white-haired Valkyrie in front of him. "Hero from another land, let me see how much of your perseverance and your beliefs have been inherited by 'this guy'."

"I will deliver my strongest strike."

Don't become like me...

As a thought flickered in his mind, Epimetheus's gaze became incredibly firm.
