The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Kiana glanced at Captain Bronya, who was speechless, and finally came to her senses.

"Hey..."

This was the first time Kiana had heard Bronya sigh.

Actually, it wasn't just her; the other two team members were the same.

After all, Captain Bronya is so powerful, how could she possibly sigh?

"I was just going at my own pace, so why...?"

Yes, obviously.

Even if the license is reinstated, it's only a matter of time before it's revoked again.

Lyle and Timido wanted to laugh, but they kept quiet to save face for their captain.

After hearing Bronya's remark, Kiana thought for a moment and then surprisingly chimed in, "Yeah, why is that?" Both of them expressed their doubts and then moved upwards along the cliff. In the blink of an eye, they had successfully reached the Ferris wheel by following the path along the steep cliff.

"here..."

Bronya finally arrived at the Ferris wheel and looked around.

"It's very spacious."

"Yes, it feels very spacious. Speaking of which..."

After the remaining three members arrived, the two slowly turned around.

"Wow, it looked pretty from a distance, but once you get closer... the location of this Ferris wheel is really weird."

When Lyle arrived, he first expressed his opinion.

This is rare, and Kiana, Bronya, and others have given their approval.

"It's really strange. Who would put a Ferris wheel here for no reason?"

Kiana stared at the Ferris wheel covered in strange, dark red crystals, and for a moment felt an urge to draw her sword and cleave it in two.

However, with Bronya right beside him and Sirin looking at him with shining eyes while pulling at her hair, he was hesitant.

She ultimately decided to abandon the idea.

To avoid making your little doll cry again later.

Oh, I don't think I've ever made you cry before? Oh well, I'll just have to be careful anyway.

"In any case, it's not a normal human being; it might be some non-human creature."

Bronya crossed her arms, quietly observing everything before her, and finally came to this answer.

This seems to be the best answer.

After all, anyone with a little architectural knowledge should know that building something in such a place is simply pointless and not created to serve people at all.

But if the one who built this wasn't a human being, or if the one who collected and distorted it through some means couldn't be called human, then everything seems to make sense, right?

Kiana thought for a moment, then turned her gaze to the horizon, muttering to herself:

What exactly was used to build this Ferris wheel?

"Who knows? They're probably just some guys who can communicate, right?" Sirin casually loosened her slightly messy hair and answered quietly.

After hearing her answer, Bronya thought for a moment, and then clapped her hands as if she suddenly understood.

"Being able to communicate... I seem to understand everything."

Why are we all different now? (Honkai Impact 3rd): Chapter 23 The World's Greatest Game Developer—Bronya (Not Really)

Have I gradually come to understand everything?

Everyone looked at each other, then turned their gazes to the wise Captain Bronya, curious about what this extremely intelligent captain had come to understand.

Meanwhile, Celine, who was standing apart from the others, looked at her with a bored expression, as if to say, "I'm just going to look at you while I talk to you."

"All of this was built by those monsters."

Everyone was surprised when Bronya said this.

Built by monsters?

Could it be that those monsters who can't even speak can build structures? Are they intelligent beings too?

The discovery was so shocking that the three of them remained silent for a long time, their faces filled with doubt.

In the end, Kiana, feeling that Bronya was making a mountain out of a molehill, scratched the back of her head.

"Uh... Bronya, do you have a fever?"

As she spoke, she leaned closer to pat his head.

However, Bronya, already used to this, turned away from Kiana's concern and continued to explain to the two teammates:

"Do you remember the monster we encountered?"

"Captain, we encountered a lot of monsters, didn't we? I'm not quite sure which one you're referring to..."

Lyle spread his hands, looking completely bewildered.

Seeing this, Timido, though somewhat timid, also hesitantly echoed:

"Yeah, Captain, which one is it?"

The two team members' lack of understanding inexplicably discouraged Captain Bronya, who was almost omnipotent.

She crossed her arms, sighed inwardly, and then said:

"...Didn't you guys recall that special monster? The one that made human voices when it went berserk?"

Upon hearing the captain's words, everyone finally recalled the nurse monster who had launched an attack not long ago, but was quickly dealt with.

If you were to ask which of the many monsters of various shapes and sizes you've encountered along the way is most like a human...

That's undoubtedly that strange nurse.

After all, it can carry a huge syringe to enhance its companions, and can also let out a woman's howl when enraged.

All these traits made her look remarkably similar to a human.

If she could have a slightly more pleasing appearance and a softer voice, she might even be a powerful weapon against male enemies.

However, these are all just prerequisites.

As of now, the only one among these monsters who appears to possess the intelligence to build and create is the one who acquired Otto's spare body.

The pre-era creation that walks the world in the guise of a partner, is it not the vast emptiness?

However, he doesn't seem to belong to the monster camp either; strictly speaking, he's just a collaborator.

So... this Ferris wheel really was built by monsters?

"Incredible..."

Stunned, Kiana stroked her chin and suddenly asked a question:

"So, does that mean these monsters are actually aliens?"

"Wow, buddy. You're kidding, right? Even aliens wouldn't be this brutal, would they? They should at least have their own language. They start destroying everything as soon as they arrive on Earth..."

Lyle smiled with some confusion, finding Kiana's criticism somewhat hard to accept.

Whether aliens even exist is still unknown, isn't it?

Until now, before these monsters appeared, the only unusual creatures on this planet were Honkai Beasts and zombies.

And among them, the supreme being, the Herald.

However, both Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors are born in a way similar to viral infection, and even Herrschers, according to the records of the Destiny Archives, were born in a similar way.

Therefore, they all ultimately belong to the category of terrestrial life and cannot be included in the category of extraterrestrials.

Because of this theory, no one can explain where the Honkai originated.

However, now that the Honkai has been sealed on the moon, new life forms have appeared on the world...

"It doesn't seem impossible that they could be aliens?"

In the end, Lyle came to agree with Kiana's judgment.

I wouldn't say I agree with it, but I just think there's some truth to it.

"Huh? I didn't expect you to be so reasonable?"

Kiana, hands on her hips, had a new perspective on this suddenly enlightened teammate.

"Dude, don't say that. It's kind of disappointing..."

Lyle smiled, then looked back at his captain, Bronya.

"But Captain, even if we know they built these, what does that prove?"

"Lyle, if these monsters have their own intelligence and thoughts, then what do you think their attitude towards us would be?"

Bronya's sharp retort revealed hostility and wariness.

It seemed as if they had foreseen some major crisis.

"Captain, to be honest, in my opinion, they're no different from the Honkai Beast assassins. Aren't they all enemies who want to wipe us out?"

Lyle's answer revealed the common answer in everyone's heart.

Until it's determined whether the monster can express a friendly attitude, this answer seems to be the best solution at present.

After all, if it weren't for its appearance, which was a fusion of machinery, Honkai Beasts, and even zombies, everyone would have thought that this guy was a Honkai Beast or a zombie.

Unfortunately, this entirely new form is something that the Destiny Archives and all members of Destiny have never seen before.

Therefore, none of the members had a clear idea of ​​what they were fighting against.

Perhaps only by classifying them as enemies like Honkai Beasts and zombies can we face them with a normal attitude.

But I never expected that Captain Bronya would be so thoughtful.

Lyle and Timido looked at each other, their admiration for their captain growing ever stronger.

Kiana, who was a temporary member of the team, was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected that the little girl who always liked to go against her would be so thoughtful.
