Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

This is something that only Qianjie can do, and it is also a mission that only Qianjie can accomplish.

Now, having reached the deepest place, he can be said to have fulfilled his last wish.

[That is to say, we have one more victim who has not left any clues. ]

[Not quite. Fortunately, his instinct led him to where I am. If I go deeper, I may still be able to find the embers of his consciousness and communicate with him. But...]

Although Aponya wanted to do so, it was a risky thing even for her.

For this reason, she had to turn her attention to her best friend Eden.

[The existence of Qianjie is already a candle in the wind. If I want to do this without any more damage, I must devote myself to it. Until I get out of his "mind", I will be nothing more than an empty shell. In the meantime, Eden... "please"... please protect me. ]

After saying this, Aponya began to delve deeper into Qianjie's consciousness.

Almost in an instant, she came to a strange corridor.

And this is where Qianjie fought his final battle.

[It is no different from when I gave the commandments before... This is indeed Qiandong's state of mind, but... huh? ]

Just as Aponia was surprised, many faded Honkai beasts suddenly appeared in Qianjie's mind.

After these enemies appeared, they rushed towards her without any hesitation.

The situation was critical, and Aponia had no choice but to take action to fight the enemy.

The weapon she used was a ring blade, but the ring blade usually did not fly out to hurt the enemy, but hung behind her like a divine ring.

She herself used prayer to electrocute the Honkai beast to death.

That’s right, prayer.

Aponia clasped her hands together and then slowly floated up into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, countless lightning pillars fell on the bodies of the Honkai beasts.

Although the moves are simple, the damage is not low at all, and as the charge bar accumulates, she can also release a range AOE with greater damage to kill enemies across the screen.

Under such a powerful attack, those faded Honkai beasts were quickly annihilated.

As for Aponiya himself, after going deep into the cave for a long time, he saw the scene of Qianjie confronting others.

Although she could hear the voice, it was the voice made by the other party disguised as Qianjie.

So what exactly is this mysterious existence?

Chapter 406: Qianjie: Ying is innocent! This time, I should have protected something...

[Is this... Qianjie's voice? But this tone...]

In doubt, Aponia slowly floated towards Qianjie.

As she approached, the mysterious voice imitating Qianjie stopped.

Instead, Qianjie himself began to speak.

【You are too slow...Aponia.】

[Qianjie... That's great. You... really won't disappear so easily. ]

What this means is that fortunately your consciousness has not completely dissipated.

But Aponia actually misunderstood. Strictly speaking, Qianjie was already half dead.

It was only a matter of minutes before the distance completely disappeared.

The reason why he was still holding his breath was actually for only one purpose.

[You don't need to mind your own business...Have you seen my body?]

【Hmm. It's already... about to collapse. Why is that?】

This time, in response to Aponya's question, Qianjie didn't waste any words.

[…It’s a very strange thing. It found me when I was destroying Paradise.]

Time is really precious to him.

So at this moment he no longer had the energy to fight with Aponia.

[After a fight, it became like this. 】

[You mean... "frontal combat"? ]

"Hey, this is exactly what Qianjie would do. If it were him, he would indeed choose to solve it this way."

A pink barrage of comments floated across the live broadcast room.

Obviously, Alicia was not surprised by Qianjie's behavior.

It would be better to say that Qianjie had finally chosen a safer or gentler method to solve the problem.

Then he wouldn’t be Qianjie.

"Indeed, but...is the price of doing so a bit too heavy?"

Hua's comments are as direct as ever.

After all, everyone can see what Qianjie's current body looks like.

Therefore, the heavy price is already obvious.

"Humph, then what's the point of doing this? It's just a pity."

A winding golden bullet screen floated across the screen...

Obviously, Mebius was actually quite regretful about Qianjie's death.

But she always spoke like this, so I couldn't help but feel curious about the price Qianjie paid.

In the face of this question, Qianjie's answer is...

[It also fits? See for yourself... Don't you always like to do this?]

With Qianjie's active permission, Aponiya began to read the consciousness without hesitation.

As her search progressed, she eventually discovered alien invaders that were unlike any that had ever existed in her past paradise.

As for Qianjie, who had completed the final message delivery task, he was also approaching the end.

His figure began to become blurry and his consciousness began to flicker.

It seemed like it would completely disappear in the next second and cease to exist...

[...Oh. Is this my own end? How ridiculous...Just get lost after you finish watching it. If you are the one watching me die...it would be too disgusting.]

Before disappearing, Qianjie told Aponiya in a bad tone to leave quickly.

He knew very well that if there was still someone staying here before he completely collapsed, it would only cause great trouble to that person.

Before he died, he didn't want to cause any more trouble to others.

[…No, at least let me keep your last thoughts…After everything is over, I can still try…]

At this point, Aponya suddenly realized something and stopped talking. She slowly moved her eyes to her hands. At this moment, the hands that had touched Gan Jie... were shrouded by the same "shadow".

After realizing that he had been corrupted, Aponia fell silent.

Qianjie also reacted and realized that the Herrscher was so tricky that even Aponia could be corroded by him.

At this point, Aponya took back his words about waiting until everything was over.

Because she knew that whether she could survive was uncertain.

But before leaving, she still wanted to do something for Qianjie...

[Hmph, that's right. You and I... both deserve to go to hell. When the time comes, let's see if you can still "ask" me to do something.]

At the end of the conversation, Qianjie said his farewell words to Aponya.

Although the words may not sound nice, but when translated it actually means that it is best not to die if possible.

[......But, don't come too early. I don't want to take the same bus with you. ]

[Well, okay. I am...looking forward to it. Well, goodbye, Qianjie.]

But when Aponiya was about to leave, Qianjie suddenly called her.

The reason was that before he completely disappeared, he still had one very important thing to clarify.

[This time... I proved Sakura's innocence, right? My body... is the evidence. ]

[She... has never been a betrayer. Go tell them - tell everyone!]

[This innocence is earned by my own hands, not by their "charity"!]

"Qianjie... Hey, he actually always values ​​every one of his companions."

"Proving Ying's innocence... is this so important to Qianjie?"

"Who knows, maybe this is what is called...loyalty?"

"Humph, you won't understand."

As Qianjie's last words were spoken, the heroes in the live broadcast room couldn't help but sigh.

Even Qianjie himself uttered a word at this moment.

Normally, he would not bother chatting with others in the live broadcast room.

But this time, the plot was triggered by my own impending death, so I have to talk about it.

And regarding Sakura's question, what 'I' said was absolutely right!

[Yes, Qianjie, Ying is not a betrayer, either then or now. ]

"..."

However, just as Qianjie was feeling happy about his outstanding performance, Aponia in the game spoke.

To be honest, at this moment he still couldn't quite understand what "then" meant.

But it always makes people feel...it won't be a good thing?

[Next, it's time for me to "atone my sins". I will make up for all the debts I have in the past. ]

"Atonement..."

In the live broadcast room, a bullet screen with colorful butterfly effects floated across the screen...

Aponia was quite puzzled by this word.

At this moment, she still believed that human beings were hopeless and did not feel that she had any sins to atone for.

But what is said in the game will definitely be reflected in reality.

So what exactly is this "atonement" for?

[......Humph, it's good that you know you owe me something. Go away......]

After finishing what he wanted to say, Qianjie heard what he wanted to hear.

If this is the case, then he is also perfect.

At the very end, let's be alone...

【Let me...be quiet for a while. 】

Afterwards, Aponiya left Qianjie's consciousness.

All this happened so quickly that in almost an instant, Aponia, who was out of consciousness, reacted.

[Aponia? Is everything going well? ]

Eden, who had finally waited until Aponya was done, asked anxiously.

But at this moment, Aponya did not give a direct answer.

Just [please] Eden don't bother Qianjie anymore.

This man had been so noisy all his life, but at least this time... Aponia hoped to let him leave in peace.

In the past, she had waited for one person after another to leave this world like this.

With a look of compassion, Aponia moved her hands towards the other person's head - she decided to use her ability once again to weave a perfect "death vision" for the other person.
