The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Kiana covered her forehead, looking at Möbius with a wry smile: "You really are someone who can surprise people..."

...

Just as Kiana and Mebius were talking in the underground laboratory.

Alicia's early birthday party has already begun.

Those present were all heroes who had fought against the flames.

As for the ordinary members, they were all persuaded by Alicia to leave, including Dr. May.

"Huh? Why is it a birthday party this year...?"

"Oh dear~ It's just a small request from a young girl, so I'll have to trouble you a little, Dr. Mei~"

Why she did this, Alicia didn't say, but it could be said that she sent Mei away by a combination of coaxing and deception.

He then gathered everyone together for a birthday party in the most spacious living room.

"Hehe~ The host of the birthday party has arrived~"

After completing the basic preparations for the banquet, Alicia, dressed in a gorgeous gown and with her hair flowing, entered the hall.

Wearing that pink dress, she looked as noble and elegant as a princess. When she walked, it was like an angel descending to earth, attracting everyone's attention.

When she walked to the center of the hall, everyone fell silent, and all the lights went out, leaving only the flickering light in the center of the hall.

Alicia walked up to the platform, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

"Tonight is my birthday party, and I would like to wish all my friends a happy birthday."

As soon as Alicia finished speaking, the lights in the hall came back on.

The heroes looked at each other in bewilderment, and then they all applauded.

Of course, those who applauded were all people who were willing to attend the birthday party, such as Eden and Gretchen.

As for Qianjie and Kosmo, who were reluctant to come but were coaxed and tricked into coming, they stayed quietly in their seats.

They have no intention of getting involved or causing trouble.

"Today is my birthday. I feel so lucky to have met everyone here. There are so many people I cherish here, and I wish they could be here for my birthday party. They are all the most important people in my life, and I hope we can get to know each other and help each other. I'm so honored to have met you all, and I'm so happy to have met you all."

Here, I also hope that many friends can become my friends, letting me know that I still have relatives and friends who are silently caring for me and worrying about me. I am very touched, and I hope my friends...

You've been there for me today, making me happy and joyful, because I know I'm a very happy, joyful, and blessed person. If this continues, I think everyone will be very happy and joyful too.

Alicia stood on the stage, expressing gratitude to the heroes below the stage in ways she would never have said before.

Seeing this, the people in the audience were even more at a loss for what to do.

In this awkward atmosphere, Eden and the others smiled and began to comfort Alicia.

After exchanging pleasantries, Alicia turned to the crowd below the stage.

She first glanced around, then finally fixed her gaze on Kevin.

Just one look was enough to give Kevin a...

A feeling of helplessness and embarrassment.

"This isn't like you, Kevin."

Alicia walked over to Kevin, took his arm, and introduced him to everyone.

"As someone's favorite person, how can I remain silent at a time like this?"

"...Alicia, haven't you had enough?"

Kevin looked at Alicia with a somewhat helpless expression.

What is Alicia doing? Why is she saying that she is her favorite person?

What is this, a birthday party prank?

She's so incredibly boring...

However, once Alicia said that, even if he wanted to refute it, he couldn't, since that's what Alicia said.

I just hope this ridiculous farce will end soon.

However, what Kevin didn't know was...

What he took as a joke... was actually the truth.

"hehe..."

Alicia tried hard to smile again, but she wasn't sure if she was crying or laughing.

Or perhaps it was a smile that was more awkward than crying?

Well, none of this really matters anymore...

"Kevin, do you remember the question I asked you before?"

Suddenly, Alicia's tone became incredibly serious...

The atmosphere at the entire birthday party was more serious than ever before.

An invisible pressure emanated from her and spread outwards.

Everyone felt a sense of impending doom...

"what?"

Only now did Kevin finally realize what had happened to Alicia.

Or rather, it wasn't that something happened, but rather that she had already made up her mind to do something?

"If one day you have to destroy me to save humanity, what would you choose?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura emanated from him and rushed towards Kevin, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

"Alicia? What trick are you up to now!"

Sensing something was wrong, Qianjie rushed forward...

The next second, this seemingly invincible alien was actually flung away!

"What a strong wind!"

"Gresh, get behind me quickly!"

When the strange phenomenon appeared, the heroes decisively banded together.

Even if the source of this strange phenomenon is a companion who feels familiar to them...

"Kevin, I'm sorry."

Alicia slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch Kevin's face...

However, before she could even touch her, the other person retreated and dodged her.

Clearly, once the decision to take this step was made, everything was irreversible.

The hands that were changing position remained suspended in mid-air. After a moment, Alicia finally realized something and slowly withdrew her hands.

"I feel that this is the only way—!"

'Clap! Clap!' The sudden applause seemed to have some kind of magic, calming the chaotic gale and even stopping Alicia's Herrscher transformation.

Everything happened so suddenly, and it ended just as suddenly; even the heroes didn't realize what was going on.

Confused and bewildered, including Alicia who was still completely unaware, they all turned their gazes toward the person clapping...

"Humans, your lousy ballet is truly boring."

Sirin, who should have been executed on the spot as Kiana had said, slowly left the shadows.

At this moment, far from becoming disheveled, she instead became... even more majestic and radiant, even more...

Like the Herrscher depicted in Gretchen's painting...

"you!"

With the emergence of an even more dangerous enemy, the heroes were swiftly mobilized. At Kevin's command, they briefly set aside their prejudices and began to unleash their full power against the Herrscher of the End...

However...

In Sirin's view, these are people who have given up their pure human identity in order to fight against the Honkai.

It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; it's overestimating one's own strength.

"You are not qualified to be my opponents."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xilin slowly raised her hand and then pushed it aside...

'Snap!'

With the sound of shattering glass, the entire space seemed to be ravaged by a powerful force.

In an instant, cracks appeared out of nowhere and gradually spread.

It wasn't until it tore the earth apart, splitting the continent inhabited by people in two, that it gradually subsided...

It's quite normal for there to be fourteen heroes out of the thirteen, right? (Previous Civilization): Chapter Thirty: The Final War (Part Two)

Initially, a crack appeared in the hall floor, and then, as if subjected to some unstoppable destruction, alarming cracks began to appear on the floor and walls.

As the cracks appeared, the fissures in the earth became more pronounced, and stretched into the distance before the astonished eyes of the heroes.

Until the walls collapsed, until the islands fell apart, until the ocean was split in two.

Until the entire continent was torn apart as easily as paper...

"My God!"

"What happened? Why was there an earthquake? No... it wasn't an earthquake, it was us..."

"Look at the sky, why is it moving? Wait! Is it us... moving!?"

Battles on the mainland will naturally cause earth-shattering panic.

Throughout history, no human being, or even any other creature, has been able to exert such a profound influence on such a vast continental plate.

Even humans, who are considered parasites of Earth by the Honkai, are not qualified to cause such destruction.
