"Hey, Aponia, you said you can see the fate of other people. Have you ever seen what will happen to me in the future?" Alicia once asked her.

She could only smile apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Ellie, I... I really can't see your destiny."

"Well... after all, a beautiful girl like me is always unique in some ways~"

Later, she finally met the "legendary Feng". She could sense that Feng seemed to be able to see the fate of others. He once tried to stop Desdobia from participating in the positioning operation of the Eighth Herrscher, but naturally ended in failure.

"Perhaps he will be like me and one day realize that fate cannot be changed," she thought.

After the girl finally exploded due to long-term repression and bullying, she collapsed into a terrible monster, killed everyone present at the time, and escaped to the abyss.

When the Fire Moth mobilized a large number of soldiers and was ready to send Kevin to kill him, she saw that the man broke through the heavy encirclement without carrying any weapons, repelled all the surrounding soldiers, stood in front of the girl who turned into a monster, and stretched out his hands to her.

At that moment, the thread that should have been broken in her eyes seemed to be reconnected by a pair of hands, and that person, like Alicia, did not have any thread of fate on his body.

From then on, she began to pay attention to this young man, and watched him reconnect the threads of other people whose threads were supposed to be broken. However, he could not save all people. She also watched him try to save Hen's fate, but in the end she could only watch Hen leave helplessly.

In addition, she was actually puzzled about the girl named Lilith who was beside him. It was true that there was no silk thread, but if there was, she couldn't see where Lilith's fate would go.

Because the direction that Lilith's thread leads to is Feng.

This was the only thread of such a situation she had seen in such a long time.

It was as if if Feng did not exist, then Lilith's fate would not exist either, or in other words, it was only because Feng existed in this world that Lilith existed in this world.

It's a pretty weird relationship.

But because of this, after the Ninth Herrscher incident, when everyone was speculating on the outcome of Lilith's confession to Feng, she was not that surprised when most people thought that Lilith's confession was successful.

But she had never thought that Alicia really had a special feeling for Feng. Eden once asked whether she should ask Feng about the result of the confession, but was rejected by Alicia. Alicia seemed quite resistant to getting that answer. Regardless of the result, Alicia seemed very conflicted.

This was the first time she had seen Alicia like this, and she couldn't even imagine that Alicia would make such a choice.

Later, when the Tenth Herrscher incident was approaching and Klein's life was about to end, Feng was assigned by the Fire Moth leaders to carry out a suppression operation against the African resistance. Feng had refused this. She could clearly see that he wanted to stay and try to challenge fate again to save Klein's life.

But...this is impossible.

No matter how many threads he picked up, they could not compete with the threads of the people at the center of the "stage play", whether it was Desdobia or Hen, or even Klein and Imer, because their fate was connected with the fate of the "protagonists" at the center of the stage play, and he could not shake it at all.

He was eventually forcibly transferred to Africa to carry out the suppression of the rebels by the Fire Moth Council through several consecutive orders.

Moreover, she didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but she seemed to be able to vaguely see that Feng's karma was gradually increasing with his repeated failures and successes. No matter whether he failed or succeeded, there was something that he was constantly carrying on his back.

Before the tragedy of the Bound, she foresaw the end of the fallen angels, but Feng seemed to be unaware of this. She had already seen that Feng only knew the fate of the people at the center of the "stage play", but could not see the fate of others.

In other words, from Feng's perspective, his struggle against fate always ended in failure.

If that’s the case…why won’t he give up?

Moreover, she saw for the first time the impending tragedy. That was the closest Feng had ever been to death. At that time, Feng's long-standing rebellion seemed to have finally angered fate. The tragedy of restraint would become the grave for burying all fallen angels. Fate had already passed judgment on this arrogant and rebellious leader of fallen angels.

She informed them of the impending fate of the Fallen Angels, to which they all sneered.

In that battle, the fallen angels met their destruction as they had witnessed, but they accepted their own destruction so calmly and arrogantly. No one chose to retreat. Moreover, they built the ladder to godhood for him at the cost of their own lives. When the judgment was about to fall, the apostles of God also chose to rebel against God, turning the fire of judgment into a farewell hug.

From then on, those who rebelled against God no longer met the Daughter of God.

At this moment, in her eyes, Feng had already transcended the fate that was originally imposed on him, and was not bound by fate just like when they first met. After that, he truly saved Sakura's fate and reversed the thread that was broken in the incident of the Twelfth Herrscher, but in his body, the fire of punishment burned fiercely and never went out, burning his body all the time.

As a guest at the last banquet hosted by the flawless man, she already knew Alicia's choice before arriving. She was unable to stop Alicia's departure and could only pray silently for her as she embarked on the path back to collapse.

Alicia quietly looked at the sky in the distance, waiting for an appointment with someone.

After a long while, Alicia looked at Eden and asked with a confused voice she had never heard before: "Eden, do you think... will he come?"

Eden comforted her by saying that Feng would definitely come, but everyone present was unsure.

But in the end, it was Kevin who came here with the invitation that was supposed to be sent to Feng. He returned the invitation to Alicia and told her what Feng asked him to convey.

"Those present came because they believed in Alicia, and those absent refused to fight because they believed in Alicia."

He still believed in Alicia, even though the gap between them was as huge as a chasm.

In her impression, Feng always seemed to remain rational in most situations, but at this moment... As the organizer of the banquet, Alicia might want him to choose the emotional side. Regardless of love or hate, she just wanted to see him again before parting.

He was the only one invited, and the only one who refused to attend after being invited.

Did he fail Alicia? He had always believed in Alicia, and it was even his suggestion that Kevin wear a dress instead of combat clothes when he came. Perhaps he knew the truth long ago and told Kevin that this was just a farewell, but he himself just... refused to meet Alicia, that's all.

But at this moment, Alicia no longer needs such trust. Perhaps for Alicia, she would rather Feng treat her as a liar than let him say such words.

Alicia once said that Kevin and Feng's relationship was not very good in the past, which made her a little worried, and then she was happy about the improvement of their relationship. But at that moment, she felt that Alicia really would rather Kevin and Feng's relationship remained as bad as before, so that at least she could comfort herself. This might not be what Feng wanted to say.

Before leaving, Alicia spoke to her alone for a few words.

"At first, I actually wanted to ask you, will I have someone I like in the future? Or, will the person I like be Feng? Now I have got the answer to this question... I used to be afraid and resisted my identity as a Herrscher. When I finally chose to accept it and finally decided to face him as a Herrscher, he said that he always believed in me."

"Then... why did I hesitate at the beginning? It's clear that I only need to take that one step..."

She whispered, "I'm sorry, Ellie, if I could see..."

"No, Aponya, this has nothing to do with you. Love is not something that can be foreseen or seen, but something that you should strive for with your own hands. And I... became like this because I was not confident and did not believe in him, right? He always believed in me, but I did not believe in him..."

"Really... We knew each other the earliest, but in the end, we ended up in this situation..."

After seeing off Alicia, she found Feng and told him that Alicia had left. Feng's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, which confirmed her inner guess: Feng had known that this day would come a long time ago.

She remembered what Alicia had said about Feng's only confession. Everyone had guessed why Feng was so determined to fight against the Honkai. Perhaps, his original intention was for Alicia, to reverse the reality that Alicia had to sacrifice herself at this moment.

And now, everything is over...

"If you have already seen this hopeless future, if you have already seen this cruel fate... Feng, will you still stick to your path like this? Or, why are you going on?" she asked.

"For what?... This answer has lost its meaning now, but I only know one thing, I don't regret taking this path, this is my own choice. My friends have accompanied me for a part of the journey, and I will complete this last part of the journey myself."

"you……"

"I will not encounter misunderstanding and malice from others because of taking this path, and I will not punish myself for the crimes they have committed, because this will have no effect other than lowering me to the same level as them."

"maple……"

"Since we are challenging fate, if we can't even do this, we will only be mocked by fate and struggle humbly in the cycle of reincarnation. I read this in a book."

He might have wanted to ease the atmosphere with this sentence, but she just remained silent. She already understood his determination and knew his end. She no longer needed to "see" it, but had already seen it.

Before the fallen angel of the dawn left, she knew that there was nothing she could do for him, so she gave him a hug like the apostle of God. Then, when the end came, she watched this last fallen angel leave and greeted his fate with the most arrogant attitude.

If fate really appeared before him, he would probably raise his middle finger in disdain.

After all, this is a man who defied fate.

But, if everything could be done over again, she hoped that she would no longer watch his story as a bystander. At least... he should not fall into the quagmire of fate alone. At least, there should be someone who would walk with him all the way.

If line 5 (?): Interlaced spacetime (9k)

"Captain Hyperion, I can give you this opportunity, but whether you can meet her and learn the information you want to know depends on you."

………………

The black-haired young man walked in the dark corridor and came to the deepest part guarded by the World Serpent, an ancient relic from a previous civilization.

His receptionist was already standing at the door and spoke softly, "Welcome to the paradise of the afterlife, visitor."

The one who came to greet me... was Su... That's right, generally speaking, there are only a few heroes who appear in the paradise of the past. The person I want to meet doesn't appear very often, otherwise... even Raven would not have only heard of such a person but never seen him.

He smiled helplessly in his heart. He had actually expected this. After all, he was not a pretty girl, nor a Herrscher. Oh, that’s not right. For the person he wanted to meet, perhaps the first condition to meet her was to be a pretty girl?

Let's just forgive him. He still can't let go of his moral integrity and learn to dress like a certain bishop.

In fact, he could wait for Mei to come together. If he entered this paradise of the afterlife with Mei, he would surely be able to see her, right?

But he didn't want to do that. He had been in this world for several years, and some of his memories had begun to become blurred, but that thought had never disappeared. Since he was here and couldn't go back, he wanted... to know more about the beginning and end of that flawless person.

Also, he wanted to take the initiative to meet her through his own actions instead of taking shortcuts.

"What's more... I'm actually not prepared at all." He said in his heart.

Of course, he had walked a distance with Kiana and the others, and watched them grow gradually. Now, he could almost let go and follow his original idea to go on a "pilgrimage" of his own heart.

He had set this goal since he came into this world, and now, he is gradually approaching this goal... It's embarrassing to say that he is just an ordinary person and can't do anything. His appearance here is just a risky game with Kevin.

Otto was confident in negotiating with Kevin, believing that Kevin would definitely reach a deal with him, but he did not have that confidence. The initial conversation was just an attempt, and it was Kevin who gave him an opportunity to communicate.

He didn't have much to put on the gambling table. In the end, the game was like dancing on the edge of a knife. After all, he had made it clear that he wanted to see Alicia... At that time, he clearly noticed that Kevin's sky fire was moving...

Fortunately, the game was successful in the end and he got this opportunity, but...

He followed Su and observed the surrounding environment. Even if he got this opportunity, but... if he were to look at it from Kevin's perspective, he would definitely find a way to inform Yingjie in Paradise that someone came here to see Alicia. Even though Kevin hadn't been to Paradise in the Past Life for a long time, it didn't mean that Kevin had no way to pass information to Paradise, such as directly contacting Klein, and then Klein would pass on the message or something.

After that, he will most likely be watched overtly or covertly by almost all the heroes in Paradise...

With my combat power of only 5, uh, maybe Qianjie could burn me to death just by standing there...

But this can also be considered as his bargaining chip. After all, perhaps it is precisely because his fighting ability is so little that any hero can easily kill him, that Kevin agreed to let him enter the paradise of the afterlife.

Anyway, he was thankful that it was Su who came to greet him instead of Mobius or Velvet. He didn't want to be taken somewhere inexplicably and sliced ​​into pieces...

Then...it all depends on yourself.

The door is right in front of you, but whether you can get there and open it depends on your next actions.

………………

Waking up from a nap in the garden, the girl yawned gently. She sat on a bench in the garden, listening to the birds singing. She looked at the huge Ferris wheel outside the garden, and then, as if she had noticed something, she muttered to herself thoughtfully: "Are there new visitors? Hmm... the last visitor always wore a black hood, and I couldn't see her face. I don't know what this visitor will be like~"

In fact, she had paid attention to every visitor who came to the paradise, but most of them just looked for a while and then left. But after a visitor left the paradise, some of Mebius's methods began to become a little radical, and many visitors disappeared after that.

Therefore, some heroes in Paradise also began to take their own measures. They would try their best to prevent visitors from entering the area controlled by Mebius, but if the visitors chose to go in out of their own will, the heroes would not stop them, and of course she would be the same.

Paradise in the Past...

The girl closed her eyes and recalled the distant past, the time after these memories were first recorded into this data world.

"It's decided. The beautiful fairy lady is going to leave her garden and take a walk in the outside world~"

She clapped her hands, made a decision, and left this garden that belonged to her alone. Even her good Eden didn't know about this place. After all, this was the eternal paradise that would be open to other people in the paradise when that moment came.

And that time should be coming soon...

"Hmm? The visitor this time is a boy..."

After arriving at the paradise and seeing the new visitor, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, she preferred pretty girls...

Well, let's just watch for a while and then leave. If he accidentally walks into Mobius's domain, it will be bad. This visitor doesn't look very capable of fighting. He seems to be a civilian. If he accidentally walks into Mobius's domain, he really can't get out.

Although the last visitor listened to Mebius's instigation and chose Mebius's trial, she finally escaped from the paradise with her own strength.

But this time... this person probably really can't escape.

She began to wonder in her heart whose trial this visitor would choose. Apart from the trials of Qianjie and others whose only method of trial was combat, there were also some more dangerous trials like the trials of Abonya and others. He should choose the trials of Su, Eden, Hua and others, right?

Hmm? What is this visitor doing?

In the girl's eyes, this visitor was collecting information about the heroes of Paradise while undergoing the trial, and then... recording it? It seemed that for him, it didn't matter whether he took the trial or not, he just wanted to know the information of the heroes or something?

"Alixia, you are here after all." Su's voice rang out.

She turned around and smiled naturally, saying, "I pay attention to every visitor when they appear, and who can blame Dr. Mobius for being a little dangerous recently?"

"Mobius..." Su sighed softly, and was obviously troubled by his colleague. "But I guess this visitor might actually go to see Mobius in the end."

"Eh?" She glanced at the visitor in the distance with some surprise, "Is this... the persistence of a scientist?"

"He... is not a scientist." Su's expression became a little strange. "He was sent in by Kevin outside, and his purpose in entering the paradise..."

Su seemed to be considering how to say his next words.

"Hmm? Su, when did you learn to keep people in suspense like this?" She pretended to be a little angry and then couldn't help laughing. "Okay, tell me now~"

Su sighed again, then looked at the visitor and said, "According to what the visitor said, and the information passed in by Kevin outside the Paradise, his main purpose for coming in... was for you."

"Eh?!"

...............

"Little white mouse, I see that you seem to be very interested in the 'traitor' Alicia." Mobius looked at the young man with a malicious smile and said, "But if you want to know more about her, I can help you."

Mebius looked at the young man. She knew that Su had been observing secretly. This time, even the woman Alicia seemed to be nearby. But it didn't matter. It would not affect her ability to persuade the young man to join her trial. After all, if it was his own choice, neither Alicia nor Su would interfere too much.

However, Klein told her that the main purpose of this guy entering the paradise was for Alicia, and it was Kevin outside who agreed... This guy doesn't look like a scientist, and he doesn't even look like a fighter. It seems that he really came in just to get to know Alicia.

The young man was also looking at Mebius. He had collected a lot of information during this period of time, but what he learned came from Yingjie, such as Hua, Su, and Ying, who were easier to talk to. As for Eden, although he was gentle and amiable in normal communication, when it came to some things in the past, especially those related to Alicia, Eden always said, "I still think it's better for Alicia to tell you these things."
