Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

“I don’t hate fate now, because you came into my life. I feel happy when I see you happy, and I feel sad when I see you in trouble. I’m sure everything is my idea, my complete will.”

"If we're talking about fate, then being destined for something doesn't seem so bad?"

"Even if the road ahead is rugged and bumpy, I will not regret it."

"I watched Miss Marianne's play, and she said: 'Is it unfortunate not to be able to see the light? It is unfortunate to need the light.'"

I don't think so.

"Because at least I had it briefly, and even though I lost it, that feeling still lingers in my heart."

Even with regrets, there is warmth.

Karen released her grip and poured the water that had once reflected her youthful beauty back into the stream.

"Xin, do you remember what you once did? You made a choice you have no regrets about, you will never regret your choice, you cannot regret your choice."

"But I feel that I will not regret it. I will not regret meeting you. You think so too, right?"

Su Xin tried to speak several times, but found that even after 50,000 years of accumulation, she could not find a way to refute Karen's words.

I can't, and I don't want to.

"Because I met you, I will never regret it!!" Karen put her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly to the sky.

Chapter 86: Innocence, Lovers, Loss, Saintess, Admiration (5k)

Karen's resounding words flew to a very far place, a place even farther than far—the future.

At the edge of that abyss, the illusion fades.

The resolute answer fell into the ears of the birds, a poignant and generous song.

Human emotions are neither noble nor sacred in nature.

We poured so much effort, time, energy, feelings, and expectations into it, which gradually increased its emotional value until it reached a level that was worthy of being praised by everyone.

In the journey of life, every choice will leave regrets. Some people will not regret because they cannot regret.

Some people are unable to regret because they don't know how.

Su Xin has never truly been in a relationship before. In his previous life, he gave all his youthful and innocent feelings to one person.

But in the end, they went their separate ways.

Su Xin can guarantee that before they part ways, he will entrust his gentleness and patience to the girl he likes without reservation.

The girl always responded to Su Xin's beautiful singing and joyful mood.

Su Xin and her friend travel the world for a week and work part-time to pay rent.

Because their wallets were stolen and they had no money, they slept on public benches, leaning on each other's shoulders.

Under the stars, we exchange our feelings and drift into dreams hand in hand.

Listen to the choir's melodious singing amidst the church ruins.

He stood shivering in a cloak beside the closed station.

In the magnificent theater, I was awestruck by the heavenly voices on stage.

In the rain-soaked alleyways, it weeps along with the city under the night sky.

The road is lined with lush greenery and school buildings; peering through the fence at children of similar age.

They traveled to secluded villages, witnessing horrifying rituals from a distance.

Traveling to an eastern city, I paused on the bustling streets.

Returning to the streets at dusk, I sat down on a dilapidated stage by the roadside.

Stepping into a remote mountain village, one can witness the joys and sorrows of life.

Visit the heart of the world and remember the joys and sorrows of people.

Su Xin had thought it was special, unusual.

I thought we could live hand in hand forever, that life would be beautiful, and that it wouldn't matter if the world were to end.

Su Xin is selfish; he doesn't care about the world, he cares more about the feelings of those around him.

Cute Lysia, she joined the Firemoth

hope?

She bewitches everyone, giving everything to:

Waiting for you to sacrifice many treasures

Your youth—

She abandoned you.

Despair is as illusory as hope.

The more hope you invest, the more despair it will produce.

Fifty thousand years ago, the immature Su Xin made her choose among others.

Throughout their childhood together, Alicia was always there to meet his expectations, no matter when or where.

One time, Alicia didn't.

He was abandoned, not chosen.

After that incident, Su Xin matured very quickly and no longer so easily put herself in the whirlpool of emotions.

Because Su Xin knew that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

He was afraid of losing her again, that was all.

Therefore, Su Xin is now unsure how to properly respond to someone's expectations. Having sealed her heart for 50,000 years, she has never shown that vulnerable side when facing Hua, Chi Yuan, Kallen, or even more people.

He always uses some inexplicable ideas to cover up his loneliness and utters nonsensical words to conceal his true inner thoughts.

Once you've worn the mask for a long time, you can't take it off.

He is free to save them, and he is also free to not accept their feelings, whichever choice he makes, whatever the outcome.

He is free to do whatever he chooses.

He was a free slave; his so-called free will was merely a fear of disappointment.

Su Xin couldn't be as passionate as Karen, but she also couldn't ignore her feelings like ice.

Even the coldest person will feel warm when they are near a blazing campfire.

Like Karen, she also sincerely told Su Xin: "I like you."

Ah, I really shouldn't have associated with the possessed person.

If things continue like this, I'm afraid I really won't be willing to die. I can't, at least not once, let down all the sacrifices and expectations.

Su Xin mocked himself inwardly, even if he went back 50,000 years, he still wouldn't have the great spirit and will he imagined.

The pioneers were ordinary people who were forced onto this path because they had no choice but to go. If they did not continue to move forward, then the sacrifices and expectations of their comrades and relatives in the past tragedies would become a complete joke.

Along the way, I don't know how many companions I buried or even killed to get to where I am today. I must not give up all my previous efforts because of personal feelings.

This applies to Kallen, to Akane, and to Yae Sakura.

He could share joys and sorrows with them and be their best friends, but he couldn't let them truly enter his heart.

Once you have a weakness, you'll fear death, be afraid of loss, and not want to move forward.

The blood-stained flower of the previous civilization would wither because of his hesitation, so Su Xin cannot.

Karen didn't know these things, but she could vaguely guess.

Although Su Xin was close, I always felt that he was maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far, so that neither of them would get hurt.

You can feel warmth, but you can't get close.

"Haha, it really does feel better to shout out what's on your mind, right, Xin?" Karen's cheerful laughter brightened Su Xin's gloomy heart a little.

"Silly Karen, you're acting like a child. You're a mature adult, you should do something more mature."

“Something more mature?” Karen suddenly thought, her ears burning and turning red. “Then the idea of ​​me being a child for the rest of my life is too embarrassing.”

"You are?"

"No, no, let's go home! Yes, home, back to our home!"

Karen immediately turned around and walked towards the Kaslana family area. Without taking a step with her right leg, her right hand also swung out, making her walk with the same hand and foot, which was quite comical.

And with such comical antics, it took Karen a whole day walking through town before she returned to normal, and she didn't even realize how delirious she was.

As soon as she stepped into town, countless eyes were drawn to Karen.

"Huh? I, I'll change it back. Why are you looking at me?"

"Perhaps the way you were walking just now was too advanced for our time. Humans of this era cannot appreciate such an advanced work of art." Su Xin smiled easily, her tone relaxed.

Hearing Su Xin's normal answer, Karen breathed a sigh of relief, and a gentle smile involuntarily appeared on her face, followed by her puffing out her round cheeks.

"I just wanted to experience walking with one hand and one foot together! That's right, I was training my balance and adaptability!"

Karen fabricated a clumsy lie.

Calm Su Xin immediately recognized it as a fake.

Even though she's a 24-year-old adult, she sometimes acts like a child. You can be innocent if you want, but Su Xin finds her mostly adorable.

No, it's immature and irresponsible, making promises lightly, shirking responsibility, avoiding problems, refusing to correct mistakes, and failing to distinguish between what's important and what's not.

Maturity doesn't necessarily mean being aware of the big picture or knowing how to conduct oneself properly.

Being able to do whatever you want without regard for outside opinions, under the constraints of your own morality, is itself not a good thing.

Even a fleeting thought, a careless action, or an idea that will be ridiculed.

Be bold and keep moving forward.

Su Xin suddenly felt a little envious of Karen.

"Your Majesty, come and have some fruit to cool down! Your face is burning red from the scorching sun," the fruit vendor called out.

With one person taking the lead, the others were not to be outdone.

"Your Holiness, please change into a few clothes. We can tailor-make them for you at half price!"

"You dare to come out with a 50% discount? Saintess, feel free to stroll around my place, take any flowers you like, don't be shy."

"Holy Maiden"

Countless cheers instantly enlivened the border town, and everyone smiled with joy.

Saint Karen brought Bishop Nicholas Apocalypse, who had previously disregarded human life and ruthlessly exploited the people, to justice. She also abolished indulgences, reduced the taxes the people needed to pay, and established free clinics to treat the Black Death in various places.

Countless families were saved, and countless tragedies were averted.

It will not repeat the tragedy of tens of millions of innocent people dying in some parallel world.

It will no longer happen so frequently that people tear each other apart over a piece of bread, revealing the darkest side of human nature.

Otto really cares about you and Karen. If he wanted to climb to the top of power, he could easily claim all the honors for himself.

Not only did he not do that, but he also attributed the credit that originally belonged to him to you and Karen. Well, I guess your status in the hearts of the people has reached an exaggerated level.

Su Xin: I see. That's why Otto didn't stop the indulgences from being sent to their true purpose, after all...

Only by "winning" will people recognize it; if someone has to be the good cop, then someone else has to be the bad cop.

First, Nicholas, driven by greed, issues indulgences to alienate the masses, forcing people to struggle to survive, plunging them into misery and destitution.

Then, Nicholas was overthrown, and the honor was attributed to Karen, uniting the people and encouraging them to support the new rule.

In this way, they could easily and completely overthrow the other old nobles and establish a new rule.

After all, without the help of the people, it would take a lot of time and energy for one person to eliminate the remnants of Nicholas's party.

"Hmm, the sun is indeed quite strong today. Everyone, please don't call me Saintess, just call me by my name, Karen. I am the captain of the Valkyrie Squad. Saintess, please keep my name."

Karen guiltily raised her hand above her head, trying to block out the bright sunlight.

Her rosy cheeks, now bathed in shadow, exuded an even more serene beauty.

The saintess's name is... well, let's just say they want everyone to know that they praise and admire the saintess. What would a man do? What kind of expression would he make?
