Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

"Fight to the bitter end, persevere to the end, die a painful death, fight until your body and mind are worn away."

"Is this all you need me to do?"

"Yes."

"Haha, hahahaha. Very good, very good. Isn't this what I've been doing all along?"

"……Feel sorry."

“An apology is meaningless. Tell me, what can you do after that?”

"Give her one, and give you all one, a beautiful ending. At least, don't let it be such a hasty farewell."

"Ha...not what I like."

"So, are you going to refuse?"

"No, I accept it. Since you want my life, then do everything you can... to give her a perfect ending."

"...Because, is this the ending she wanted?"

"Yes... so this time, I'll just have to bear with it. Don't let me down."

"Then perhaps it can be said that you should die for me."

"Ha... What a brilliant statement."

"Because it might fail, do you have anything to say?"

"Failure? If you're not absolutely certain of victory, I'll tear you to pieces right now."

"Okay, so this is... your way of encouraging me?"

"Give her an explanation. As for me, if I can't, then it doesn't matter."

"..."

"Tell me one last thing."

"Go ahead and ask."

Are there traitors among us?

“I swear, it never happened.”

"Haha, really... Well at least it wasn't a waste of time."

"what?"

"My mutterings, you can get lost...and leave."

"Hey."

"what?"

Did you ever like me?

"what?"

"I just suddenly wanted to know the answer to this question."

"I don't know what that feeling means, but maybe it existed. But now, it doesn't matter."

"Yeah, it doesn't make any sense."

"what."

"Oh."

……

"Qian Jie, you..."

Su suddenly realized something, opened his eyes, and no longer tried to stop or attack.

"Do what you're supposed to do... I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do!"

A man as fiery as flames stood in the space of paradise.

"As always. Inwards, outwards. Kill anyone you encounter!"

Chapter Ten: What is Falsehood, What is Obsession?

"Mei-nee, I don't want to die..."

Amidst illusory specks of light, Padophilia shattered in Raiden Mei's arms.

"What should I say? Nice to meet you, or...long time no see?"

But when the villain appears, he smiles, and she is unaware of her fate.

but……

That's right, a person's personality determines their destiny.

No matter how many times she repeated it, Velvi did the same thing.

……

"Is that so... So that's how it is, Qianjie. Is this the message you wanted to bring me?"

Aponia knelt on the ground, as if praying for something.

A person's destiny is determined by their character.

No matter how many times it happens, perhaps, faced with this preordained encounter, they understand their fate.

“I understand, Melutina.”

Aponia was glad she had given up the Crystal Flower.

"Just... laugh all you want... your most important memory... your Achilles' heel..."

As if speaking to someone, Qianjie, supporting his broken body, mocked his enemies.

“I won’t leave you even a single bit… you piece of trash…”

"A thousand tribulations..."

“Don’t come any closer! I don’t need your illusions. I know what I want, but I no longer deserve it… Aponia…”

Qianjie, using his last ounce of strength, roared as he spoke.

"You know what you should do! We... haven't lost yet!"

"Of course, a thousand tribulations."

Aponia knelt on the ground and slowly opened her eyes.

"The Thirteen Heroes will not be defeated."

The battle of destruction never ceases, and the burning rage will never yield.

……

"You know what to do, as long as..."

"Just open your heart."

Even the spiral of eschatology has its own core.

……

"There's one last mystery that Virvi left me with."

Tianhui had a comprehensive understanding of the whole situation and knew that no matter how things changed, the underlying principle remained the same.

……

"You're afraid of that only possibility."

Raiden Mei stood before the culprit who had stolen her appearance.

The successor already understands that she is the proof of her one and only wish.

The hope that exists here is a dawn without tears.

……

"Miss Mei, I'm here... to help you."

When thunder rumbled across the sky, this time, it was a fleeting moment accompanied by lightning.

……

"Thank you, Mebius."

The precepts are heavy with sin, and carrying unintentional sins makes it difficult to move forward.

But she would never hesitate because of this.

……

"This is me, giving you one last kind of 'infinity'."

However, even so.

At the very end of the world, she still gave up at the door.

This time, however, she will not repeat the same mistake.

……

However, despite this, it is not quite like that.

Because, at this moment.

The ambiguous woman hidden beneath the surface is actually another one...

possibility.

"Impossible! Impossible, how could this be! You...you...when did you...no, printer...no, not that one! You're not Melutina! Who are you?!"

On a battlefield without gunfire, in her imagined paradise.

This time, standing in front of the Herrscher of Corruption is someone who should have long since disappeared.
