Watch Honkai Impact 3rd, and let fan creations save the world!

[Su Chang]: "...Me too?"

That's all for this morning. The rest will be tonight. I had a lot of fun playing games, so I missed some updates.

Chapter 260 The End of a Thousand Tribulations!

Aponia shook her head with some regret, and Qianjie seemed to sense something was wrong as well: "...Aponia?"

Aponia looked at Qianjie, her eyes filled with apology: "That's right... I'm no longer qualified to make such a promise."

"Even if you could, you can forget about it..."

Qianjie shouted fiercely at Aponia, "Death... is no big deal, I've died once... but don't even think about humiliating me!"

"In any case, thank you, Qianjie. At least... you let us know what kind of enemy we are facing."

Aponia looked at Qianjie gently: "I... will be there soon where you are going."

Qian Jie remained silent for a moment, then coldly snorted at Aponia:

"Hmph, that's right, you and I... both deserve to go to hell. Then let's see what you can do to me."

"...But don't come too early. I don't want to be on the same bus as you."

[Star]: "That's just how Jie is, sob sob... Even when he's about to die, he doesn't forget to say tough things."

[Fireworks]: "Looks like Senju is quite the tsundere too~ You care about Aponia so much, why can't you just say it out loud?"

Kiana: "The gentle whispers of a thousand tribulations, oh no, I can't imagine it at all."

[Silver Wolf]: "Qian Jie died a worthy death as a warrior, what's there to be sad about? The point isn't that Aponia was corrupted and infected because of contact with Qian Jie?"

[Firefly]: "Then... Silver Wolf, take the tissue out of your hand before you speak?"

Silver Wolf: "What's it to you?"

Seeing this Thousand Calamity, Aponia, filled with boundless sorrow, solemnly made her promise to Thousand Calamity:

“Yes, Senju, Sakura is not a traitor, neither then nor now.”

"Now it's my turn. I will make up for all the debts I owe you in the past."

Hearing Aponia's promise, Qianjie seemed to have let go of some grudge, and his tone was no longer so angry: "...Hmph, it's good that you know you owe me something. Get lost..."

"let me……"

With great difficulty, Qianjie turned around and released his burning rage into the darkness behind him.

"...Be quiet for a while."

Before death arrives, the flame that burns itself out can finally be extinguished.

[Star]: "No! Brother Jie must still be in the C stage, don't even think about ruining my Dao heart!"

【Padofilis】: "Brother Jie, don't go~ I'll never buy from you again."

[Potio]: "Damn it, there's no need for tears when a real man falls from grace. At least this time, Brother Qianjie really did it, he really protected his home!"

[March 7th]: "Qian Jie's story can be considered the end of a hero's career."

[Grey Serpent]: "Homage to Lord [Extinction]!"

On Earth, a gray serpent respectfully bowed towards the direction of paradise.

[Yanqing]: "Indeed, the general is right. There are countless heroes in the world, and there are many people that Yanqing can learn from!"

There, the other person can get everything they want, without flaws or loss.

But a stern shout stopped her.

The man, who had long since lost all consciousness, suddenly awoke at that moment.

Qianjie's remains gradually dimmed, and like Pado's back then, they were shrouded in mist.

“I don’t need… the illusions you’ve given me…”

"Thousands of tribulations..."

Aponia said, "I understand... let's not talk about this anymore."

"Shut up……"

Qianjie's voice trembled at this moment, just like Padma's:

"What I truly want... I know I don't deserve..."

"But this time...this time...did I..."

A faint smile forced onto Qianjie's face, which was always burning with rage, as he looked hopefully at Aponia: "What did you protect...?"

"Answer me...you...answer me..."

"Yes...you did it..."

Aponia's voice trembled, tinged with a sob: "Sleep...you...you won't lose anything anymore."

In Aponia's prayers, Thousand Calamity, this towering figure, stood and transformed into specks of light, vanishing without a trace. But this time, he had protected his home.

[Jing Yuan]: "Even at the very last moment, Qian Jie died standing up, worthy of the inscription of annihilation."

[Sakura]: "Alas, a thousand tribulations..."

[Gold Sand]: "Yes, this time, Qianjie protected the family he wanted to protect..."

[Fireworks]: "So, what about you, little peacock? Did you do it?"

[Gold Placer]: "...Shut up!"

[Silver Wolf]: "Really? We just witnessed Pado's death, and now we're about to witness Jie's departure. Is this your sunshine?"

Knives are best eaten at night!

By the way, you old Mi, what's the real name of Aili Mixie? Did you think you could fool us with just a transliteration?

Chapter 261 The Birth of the Herrscher of Corruption!

"As for what's on my body..."

"Never have any contact with the other person—this commandment is the last gift I can leave you."

"enemy……"

Aponia nodded: "Yes, please head to the location of the last token immediately, and protect its owner..."

Aponia explained, "There are no traitors among us. But..."

"For us, the enemy we face here is just like any other being."

“Eden…I don’t understand why it’s here…”

"But it came...right here in this paradise of the past..."

"...It has already arrived."

The screen went dark, then switched to the archives, where Qianjie, who had been facing away from us, was now completely shattered.

Furthermore, as the erosion worsened, an ominous shadow fell over the archives.

[Star]: "Damn it, why did you make this file so realistic!?"

[Aha]: "Aha thinks only in this way can we have a better immersive experience~~"

[Fu Xuan]: "There is a 'key' in Vilvie's hands, but Vilvie is now only evil. What should we do with the key?"

[Black Swan]: "No, the 'real' Velvi hasn't appeared yet. The Velvi that the conductor talks about is sleeping."

[Raiden Mei]: "It seems that we'll have to rely on 'her' to turn the tide."

Kiana: "Mei, Mei, so what should Velvet have done?"

【Bronya Zaychek】: "Idiot Kiana, Mei hasn't been to Paradise yet."

All sorts of information are transformed and shaped in consciousness, and then... become a thing.

Erosion or erosion.

...For her, it was like an instinct, like breathing, like eating.

Then it chose to erode the Honkai consciousness, and then nothing happened.

But being newly born, it didn't understand what failure was, so... it chose to split itself in two, one half coming into reality, the other half parasitizing Mei.

[Star]: "The Herald of Corruption is truly a newborn!"

[Fu Xuan]: "Isn't this just a case of a newborn calf not being afraid of a tiger, following instinct to erode the Honkai consciousness and Mei?"

[Natasha]: "So it seems... the newly born Herrscher of Corruption is quite a child."

[Silver Wolf]: "That's right, the Herrscher of Corruption has just been born!"

[Qingque]: "Half of myself was removed by the gray snake and parasitized Mei. After undergoing trials such as Aponia and Thousand Tribulations, I used this method to educate children. It's over, they've gone completely astray!"

It records its joy in purple (Local backup: 3, Off-site backup: 7, Current target?).

In Möbius's hands, joy brought understanding once more. It will look forward to recording the blue here (local backup: 4, off-site backup: 13, current target?).

With Gretchen, out of anticipation, it understood, and it recorded its curiosity within this green space (Local backup: 5, Off-site backup: 17, Current target?).

In Aponia, out of curiosity, it came to understand… but at that point it still didn’t understand what death was, until…

At Qianjie's place, it finally understood what (Local backup: 4, Off-site backup: 26, Current target?) meant.

After death, it learned what it meant, and whenever faced with a choice, it replicates itself. That's why it is alive now.

It also began to understand.

(Local backups: 4, off-site backups: 25, current target?)

(Local backups: 4, off-site backups: 24, current target?)

Unresolved erosion...

(Local backups: 4, off-site backups: 0, current target?)

Am I all alone again?

Thus, anticipation transformed into a desire to live.

Thus, curiosity turned into desire.

And so, countless beings surged in from all directions, embracing him—

(Local backups: 4, off-site backups: 0, Current goal: Survive!)

So this time... we must make the right choice...! It approached Alicia and deleted her.

"This is your experience?" "Extremely Evil," Velvi laughed.

[Star]: "Erosion is really just beginning! What is this? Were you scared by Brother Jie? That's no excuse for erosion's nascent stage!!"

[Kafka]: "Because of Aponia's prophecy, the Corruptor learned fear, and then because of the prophecy, Mei found Thousand Calamities, causing the backup of the Corruptor to die. Ironically, it was the prophecy that promoted the outcome of the prophecy."

[Aponia]: "Yes, fate is so strange, so... suffocating."

[Silver Wolf]: "Hilarious. The newly born erosion is so weak. No wonder it dares not show itself directly. Even the killing of a backup did not make Qian Jie feel anything."

[Dan Heng]: "The Thousand Tribulations made it realize that death was just a trigger. What followed was the complete annihilation of the Herrschers of Corruption from the outside world, which prompted it to have only one goal: to survive, no matter what."

[Fu Xuan]: "It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on people. If the erosion had appeared openly and honestly in Paradise, this might not have happened. After all, the Herrschers of the current civilization all have self-awareness."

[Star]: "The child has gone astray. Look at me, look at the Lawgiver of Knowledge. We're both one year old, how come there's such a big difference?"

[The Lawgiver of Knowledge]: "Huh? How come I'm already one year old?"

[Firework]: "Little gray-haired guy~ You can only say... you're starting to take on a human form and have some understanding of human nature..."

Well, nobody wants to work 8 AM!

Chapter 262 'The Id' of Vervier

[Star]: "Hiss... My head is so itchy, it feels like my brain is growing."

[March 7]: "So it seems that both Kevin and Mebius noticed something was wrong with Velvi, so why did Kevin agree to Velvi's plan?"
