Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

Even though it's just fragments.

These two fragments, like water droplets that merge into the ocean, were assimilated without any hindrance.

Cheng Xing saw some memories while merging with the fragments.

The laboratory should have been brightly lit during the experiment, but it was now extremely dark, with only a little light coming from the operating table.

A corpse lay on the operating table; Möbius had found it from somewhere after the puppet was smashed.

However, the appearance of those corpses was indeed Cheng Xing.

Mebius stroked the corpse's face, gazing at it calmly.

"...Why are you always ahead of me? You found your ideal direction, you found a belief that keeps you from getting lost, and you even put your ideas into practice earlier than me."

“Even my journey on the path of evolution was aided and supported by you… I always thought I was the most brilliant person of this era. I didn’t need anyone’s understanding or help to walk the path I wanted to pursue. No one could be more intelligent than me. That was my arrogance.”

"But why! Why are you walking faster than me... Why did you walk so fast?! Why couldn't you wait for me?!"

Cheng Xing wasn't sure if he was seeing things, but he felt like there were tears in the doctor's eyes, though he couldn't see them clearly because of the dim lighting.

The scene shifts to a white-haired man emanating a tangible chill, as if he were made of ice, causing those around him to involuntarily feel the cold.

The man looked at the weapon made up of fragments from 1000 cores. There was no one else around, so he could say something.

"Cheng Xing... humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai."

But the man couldn't say much in the end. He just made a promise and then turned around and left.

The scene returned to reality. Cheng Xing looked around with a slightly confused expression, and finally recalled his two former friends.

"…………well."

For some reason, Cheng Xing felt a heavy weight called time. Sometimes we never pay attention to the passage of time, we just think about what we need to do now, and let time flow by and pass by us without ever looking back.

But as we keep moving forward, and as we accumulate more and more behind us, we sometimes stop. When we look back at our ever-advancing steps, we still see time passing by us. It will not stop because you pause and look back, nor will it stop flowing away because you follow it.

He will only take more and more things from you and accumulate more and more things.

When you think of something at a certain moment, only to find that it has been washed away by time, too far away, you will feel the presence of time and the weight of flowing water.

[If you're here lamenting how difficult it is to change time, then I have to remind you of something. You're now someone with a system; do you really think changing time is that hard?]

"...No, I was just reflecting on life's philosophy! Why did you suddenly pop up and change the mood?!"

[I just find your life philosophies meaningless, and I always feel like you're questioning my abilities. If you want time travel services, this system can support that too! It's not that this system has always specialized in time travel... Ah, speaking of which, I can't help but recall the hardships and difficulties I faced when taking my driving tests! I still remember that hazy afternoon...]

"Don't bring up a creepy image at a time like this!"

[Tch! Boring, I'm outta here.]

Cheng Xing felt a bit caught in a rut, but with the system causing trouble, he no longer had the energy to discuss any philosophical questions about life.

"Looks like there's another reason to break the sword."

Cheng Xing looked at the girl holding her master's body and said, "So, are you planning to accompany the two of us to visit the former disciples of the Taixu Sect, or are you going to stay here to handle your master's funeral arrangements and train hard to seek revenge on me?"

"...Master's matter is not unjust, but I must avenge myself against you for both moral and legal reasons. If I can't find you in the future, what can I do even if I train hard but can't find my enemy?"

"I've decided to travel with you. I'll also keep a close eye on your weaknesses along the way, and then I'll definitely avenge you with a sword."

Cheng Xing nodded indifferently, then told the girl to bury her master's body.

Otto and I found a shady spot and started playing chess out of boredom.

At first, with such experience, he could indeed beat Otto, but as Otto became more familiar with the rules, he began to show signs of crushing him.

"Sigh, this doesn't count, this doesn't count, let me take back one more move!"

"Mr. Cheng Xing, please don't be so childish."

Fu Hua opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion and helplessness.

"who I am?"

The immortal stepped out of the sealed stone chamber and looked at the world with a blank expression.

She seems to have forgotten a lot of things.

Chapter 122: A Bad Plan

Fu Hua looked at her blood-stained clothes, then carefully examined her body and found no injuries.

“I…I seem to have forgotten a lot of things…Why am I wearing this blood-stained dress? Asahi…I think I remember that name…”

Fu Hua had just struggled back from the brink of death and was now wandering aimlessly in this world. She didn't know what to do or what she had lost.

Many vague memories exist in my mind, but no matter how hard I try to recall them now, they cannot appear clearly.

"I'm going to go look for it."

Fu Hua decided to look for the things and people she remembered. Although she had lost most of her memories and many things were now blurry in her mind, she knew she had many responsibilities and many things she couldn't let go of.

Cheng Xing and two others were currently advancing into the interior of Shenzhou, quickly leaving the desolate desert.

Cheng Xing recalled the scenes from the core fragment memories. The first one should be that Möbius found some of his own corpses... Yes, that's right, some corpses.

The giant puppet shattered into pieces, and at the same time, it split into several smaller wooden puppets. Those smaller wooden puppets must have been the parts of the puppet that split off from itself.

The second image shows Kevin, who appears after undergoing super transformation or even chimera surgery, resembling the aloof young man from our memories.

He made a promise to himself that humanity would surely defeat the Honkai, but unfortunately... that was too idealistic.

"Honkai... I and those people created the consciousness of Honkai, giving the originally empty gods their own form and appearance, but can that really be called a weakness?"

For a moment, Cheng Xing didn't know how humanity could defeat the Honkai. Of course, he could also choose to do his best to simulate and strengthen himself, so that he, as a monster, could eventually defeat the end.

Then comes the old question: how should we lead future human civilizations?

"Otto, how about you lead humanity from now on?"

Cheng Xing turned around and said to Otto.

“Sir, you are joking. I do not possess such talent and charisma. I do not have the ability or charm to lead others, and besides, all I am pursuing is Karen.”

Otto smiled and shook his head.

"What a pity. With your talent and ability, if you had led humanity towards the stars, it would definitely have become a great civilization."

Cheng Xing received the answer he expected.

Fu Hua returned to where everyone was currently gathered, which was Beichen Dojo. At this time, Raiden Mei, who had gone out to buy food, also returned. Seeing Fu Hua walking back in a daze, she asked with some concern.

"Squad leader, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua shook her head to indicate that she was fine, and then continued walking towards the inner room.

Raiden Mei felt that something had happened to Fu Hua, but she wouldn't say anything, and she was too embarrassed to ask further.

Fu Hua hadn't walked far when she saw Kiana, who was grinning foolishly, sitting to the side eating the dumplings she had bought. Beside her was Himeko, with her bright red hair, quietly sipping her sake and lamenting how weak the alcohol was in this era.

“...Meier”.

Seeing that bright red hair, Fu Hua couldn't help but think of that old friend from her memories, and then she remembered how that person's head was torn off by that expressionless black-haired youth.

"Fu Hua? What's wrong?"

Himeko noticed Fu Hua's absent-minded appearance and sensed something was wrong. She immediately stepped forward, knowing that this guy, who was known for his seriousness, rarely spaced out.

But now it seems something has happened.

"...I'm fine, I was just a little distracted for a moment. We don't have much time left, the wedding banquet is tonight. It's very likely we'll face a tough battle, and until we have a better way out, all we can do now is make a scene at the wedding banquet."

"Are you really alright? So why is Bronya different from us?"

As Himeko spoke, she couldn't help but recall how Bronya, dressed in modern clothes that were completely out of step with this era, had suddenly appeared at the dojo yesterday and informed everyone that the wedding banquet absolutely could not take place.

He also said that this is a large illusion, and only by successfully stopping the wedding banquet and shattering this beautiful illusion can one return to their own world.

"...So if there's really no other way when that time comes, I will choose to massacre the city."

The young-looking girl with silver-gray hair had a cold and ruthless indifference in her eyes, a disregard for life that she had cultivated in her early years.

Besides, this is just a beautiful dream.

But everyone hesitated. Over the past few days, they had come to realize that everyone in the town was incredibly lifelike, unlike anything in a dream. Each person had their own unique way of thinking, and all sorts of everyday stories could be seen in the streets and alleys.

Whether it's heartwarming or mundane, must such a beautiful dream be destroyed before we can leave?

While everyone hesitated, Bronya quickly left after explaining the objective; she still had final preparations to make.

In that same dimly lit alley, the Herrscher of Thunder looked at the short man standing before her and said, "Why should I obey your orders?"

"After we get out, I'll have Cheng Xing find a way to create a body for you, a completely independent body."

"Hmm... a very reasonable deal. I agree. I will not attend tonight's wedding banquet. Once I receive the news, I will immediately begin the massacre of the city."

The middle-aged man shrouded in a black robe said, "I really hope we don't have to use this method. It's actually a dream, but the people in it are just too real."

"So, are you withdrawing, Mr. Walter?"

Bronya looked at the person shrouded in black robes and asked.

"No, I still have people I need to see and things I need to accomplish outside. I can't let some false sense of beauty tie my hands. The explosives have already been planted. If necessary, although I'm not sure how strong the walls in this illusion are, they can still cause a great disturbance."

"So it's really strange that you, little dwarf, didn't go looking for them but instead came looking for the two of us."

"That's what the Herrscher of Thunder said."

“They won’t agree to my plan, you should understand,” Bronya said, looking at the Herrscher of Thunder in front of her with a cold and arrogant expression and eyes that seemed to be crackling with electricity. “They haven’t even had much blood on their hands.”

"You're wrong. At least Raiden Mei's hands are definitely stained with a lot of blood."

"No, it's in your hands."

"...Hahaha! You're right! I like what you said! Let that coward continue to go to their home bar."

The Herrscher of Thunder smiled, a rare occurrence for her.

Chapter 123: Fu Hua

Are you really going to do this?

Someone is asking themselves... that voice seems so familiar, but why can't they remember it at all?
