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

Although she didn't know where the future she was about to create would lead, she still had a vague feeling that "this was meaningful."

[Aliceia... This is also your "wish", right?]

——There is not much time left.

[Well, that's it.]

Finally, after careful consideration, Aponia decided to reversely invade the consciousness of the Herrscher.

She then floated to a square luminous polyhedron behind her.

[Come on, Herrscher of Corrosion, please...come into my arms.]

After a period of consciousness infiltration, Aponia successfully infiltrated the "consciousness of the Herrscher of Corrosion"

But here, inside this seemingly fragmented data space.

She saw several old acquaintances—Qianjie and Wei Erwei.

During an in-depth conversation with Qianjie, she became angry.

[Plan? Does that kind of thing need a plan? Just take me away, and then... let's kill every human being, wipe out all those ugly, selfish, self-righteous, weak and incompetent beings... ok?]

"???"

"???"

"???"

Along with these violent and cruel remarks, Qianjie, who was glowing green, made the following statement.

Question marks from the audience immediately floated across the live broadcast room.

This of course also includes Qianjie’s own questions.

To everyone, even though Qianjie usually looked a little irritable, remarks of this degree were too strange.

[It sounds interesting, right?]

After Qianjie finished speaking, he even did not forget to ask a question in return. It can be said that his remarks were completely inhumane.

Such outrageous remarks naturally caused Abonia's displeasure.

She frowned in disgust.

[That's enough, Herr of Corrosion.]

[Qianjie is my friend... If you want to declare your victory to me, you can use other methods... I will not allow you... to humiliate him like this. ]

Although the relationship with Qianjie was a little unpleasant, Aponia did not want her companion to be insulted in any way.

Behavior like this seems to have no explanation other than insult.

However...

[Herrscher of Corrosion? What are you talking about? Wasn’t it sealed in that box a long time ago?]

[It's me, Qianjie, look at my face, don't you remember me?]

"Face? The problem is that he is wearing a mask..."

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

Obviously, Qianjie's (? ?) outrageous remarks made Kiana not know how to complain for a moment.

"That's true, but it seems that Qianjie will not take off the mask no matter what."

"Yes, I have never seen him take off his mask, and I don't know what kind of face he has underneath the mask."

"What's there to be curious about? It's just a very ordinary face, um~ with a few scars."

As Qianjie said, "Look at my face, why are you saying such outrageous things" while he was wearing a mask, comments from the audience immediately floated across the live broadcast room.

Obviously, Qianjie's mask is a question for many heroes.

After all, only a very few people have seen the face hidden under the mask.

Of course, Aponya didn't care about that.

What she was mainly curious about now was - strange, this was neither the Thousand Tribulations I knew nor the Herrscher of Corrosion. And... that tone belonged to Alicia...

[…What went wrong? ]

Afterwards, Aponya communicated with Velvi again.

Through their conversations, she realized that all of the actions of the Ruler of Corrosion were actually out of love.

In other words, she thought that what she was doing now was saving the heroes.

This logical chain ultimately led to Aponia being unable to correct her behavior that was motivated by love.

However, just when she was at a loss, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to her mind.

"That's what I hate the most. How can I do it myself?"

Recalling the previous conversation with Velvet, Aponya finally realized the truth -

This place...is not the "heart" of the Herrscher of Corrosion...?

At this moment, Aponya saw a pool of familiar black slime.

Just by looking at this pile of things, she confirmed that her guess was correct.

【Ah... So... it's you. 】

She then came to the pool of black slime.

[I didn't expect...it was you. ]

However, in the face of her exclamation, the mysterious being remained silent.

Of course, Aponya was not in a hurry, but just explained slowly.

[This is not the heart of the Herrscher, but your "territory."]

[That familiar tone——it didn’t come from Alysia, but was your usual “imitation”.]

Even though he had been exposed, the other party still had no intention of responding and was still keeping the secret.

Faced with this situation, Aponya had no choice but to name the names.

[I am glad to meet you here...Mebius.]

[Hmm~...Okay, I should be the one making that expression.]

Mebius then emerges from the black goo and talks to Aponia.

At this point, everyone finally realized that the snake would not retreat so easily...

There's just one question - what's she trying to achieve by going to all this trouble?

Could it be that he had planned to tease Aponya at this very moment?

Chapter 419: Another hero chooses to sacrifice himself, like a moth to the flame...

[You made me wait a little too long, didn't you?]

After being exposed, Dr. Mebius began to tease his companions as usual.

[What? Do you really think... that I will end it in such a hasty way?]

[If someone has similar thoughts, it only means...he knows nothing about you. ]

"..."

"Hmm~ It's hard not to agree."

"Well... maybe I don't know anything about Mebius."

"Tsk~Snakes are not such easy creatures to understand."

As Aponia responded to Mebius's joke, comments from the audience floated across the live broadcast room.

Obviously, at this moment, everyone is still amazed at the fact that Mebius has come back to life.

After all, the previous plot clearly stated that Mebius was eliminated.

It was even revealed that she lost the battle with Vivi.

However, judging from the current situation, all this seems to be just an illusion deliberately created by Mebius.

As for the truth...she actually did it on purpose.

[In this case, I now understand...what the "Thousand Tribulations" and "Virvi" I just saw are. ]

[Mobius...was your "experiment" successful?]

Aponia's tone of voice was not one of inquiry; it could be said that she had confirmed that the experiment that Mebius had been planning for a long time had been successful.

Now, she needs an opportunity to break through the barriers of paradise and enter the real world.

This is really incredible...

Her guess turned out to be correct.

If it were in the past, perhaps Aponya would have advised him.

But in a situation like this where there is foreign invasion, she seems a little restrained.

[What's wrong? Is it really surprising?]

[So. Do you... regard me as the last resort? If the situation becomes so serious that even I am unable to calm it down, and I come here because of the erosion, will you... then confirm the necessity of releasing [it]?]

Aponia's judgment was actually correct.

But who is Mebius?

She would not readily admit that others had guessed correctly.

So at this time, Mebius showed his tough character.

[Oh? In your eyes... am I such a cautious person? Don't be so self-indulgent, Aponya. The reason I am willing to wait until now is only because you are still worth being [used]. ]

In other words, Aponya was right.

She was indeed Mobius's last line of defense.

And now, her appearance here means that the situation has developed to the point where even she is in trouble.

[Is that so? What can I do now?... Let me listen attentively.]

[Break the "barrier" and connect the paradise and reality, Aponia. Then, send me to where Klein is.]

Since Aponia had spoken, Mebius stated his demands without hesitation.

This is something only Aponya can do, and it is also a necessary step for her to complete her plan.

[Under the control of the Herrscher of Corrosion, only you... can do this for me. ]

And Mebius's words just revealed her original intention.

After all, Aponia doesn't move around much in the deepest places.

But he still has a good understanding of his heroic companions.

Especially Dr. Mobius, the most stubborn among the Thirteen Heroes.

"Only you can do this for me" - Mobius would never say this about a person. Because of this, Aponia knew that the current situation was a dead end for this genius.

Her judgment was correct. Now that the Paradise of the Past had been completely eroded by the Herrscher and Velvet had already left, the only possibility of breaking through that "barrier" lay in herself.

In that dying era, she finally chose to merge her spirit with the paradise. Therefore, in this world, Aponia is almost omnipotent.

Now, the paradise of the past has ushered in an "enemy from outside the world". To fight against it, it can only rely on the power equivalent to "the world itself".

but......

That also meant that she would mix everything that constituted "Aponia" into the corruption of the Herrscher. For the memory, this was no different from "self-destruction".

"Another act of self-sacrifice like this? Fire Moth... I seem to understand the spirit behind this name now."

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

At this moment, Kiana has experienced the same feelings as Mei while witnessing the self-sacrifice of the heroes.

A moth flies into the flame and perishes.
