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

Mei was also teleported to a far place behind.

[The door...disappeared?]

At the same time, Mei's vision flashed in black and white.

Then, the door at the end of my sight just disappeared into the distance...

[My memory... is fading away from me?]

As Mei realized this horrifying fact.

Suddenly, the black and white screen flashed again in her sight.

By the time Mei reacted, the door in the distance had disappeared.

And she fell to the ground helplessly because of the intense pain.

"Mei! How could it be..."

"Why, isn't that enough?"

"It seems that... Mei is missing something?"

"Hehe~ What kind of secret is hidden on that island? Why did it cause the entire reconstruction to fail? It makes me curious~"

As Mei's attempt to recreate Alicia failed, comments from the audience floated across the live broadcast room.

Obviously, the big guys at this moment were also surprised by this accident.

They obviously didn't expect that Mei had recalled so many details but still couldn't piece together all of Alicia.

So in the end, she was still missing the last piece of the puzzle - what happened on that island, Alicia's [ending].

However, now that Alicia has disappeared, it seems that no one can tell Mei the truth on her behalf.

As time goes by, it seems that everything will...

The pain dulled all other senses.

[No...it shouldn't be like this...]

When everything in front of you becomes gradually blurred, the picture hidden in your heart becomes more and more vivid.

The past events emerged one by one, and she saw the backs of the heroes gradually disappearing into the distance.

This is a maze with no exit, but they opened up a way forward for Mei at the cost of their own lives.

Just because the end of that road is what she has always wanted.

The innocent girl came along in the last rays of the setting sun, lighting up the dark night with her consistent "true self".

Because of her existence, at the end of the dark era, there is always a flame burning.

Spanning 50,000 years, this flame has been preserved to this day.

Its future should exist somewhere more distant, and her story should not have ended so hastily.

This road was not paved by me alone, of course...

[It shouldn’t end here...!]

Recalling Alicia's last smile and frown, Mei tried hard to get rid of the interference of the Herrscher of Corrosion.

However, she could only feel herself getting weaker and weaker...

[Aili...Shia...]

[Hi. My lovely human, you are here?]

【......? 】

The sudden sound surprised Mei.

She could tell that it was Alicia's voice - but it wasn't Alicia's either.

Because that woman would never call herself a cute human.

So what is certain is... this voice that sounds very much like Alicia is actually a fairy manager based on Alicia.

Miraculously, the vision that had been blurred by the pain began to clear.

【Fairy Ellie? 】

When Mei saw who was coming, she found that the fairy Ai Li, whom she hadn't seen for some time, actually appeared in her memory space.

[Luckily. I noticed your call to me, otherwise I don’t know how long you would have hidden! ]

[Really? You said you would bring me along when playing hide and seek! But you all ran away, and you made "us" suffer for a long time!]

Fairy Ai Li, as always, didn't pay much attention to the atmosphere and spoke to herself in a tone very similar to that of Alicia.

Because she had encountered this before and complained about it, Mei didn't take it too seriously.

What really concerned her was the "us" mentioned by the fairy Ellie.

【"us"......?】

[That's right! I have my helper too. Look, she's right here—]

With a flash of bright light, the helper that the fairy Ellie mentioned slowly appeared.

[Sorry for the long wait, Miss Mei. 】

A call of sutras fell into the white world like a drop of rain.

Then, the glorious ocean rolled up—

[......Eden? ]

Following Mei's call, Eden appeared.

She sat on a pure white chair, holding the familiar golden wine glass in her hand.

It has to be said that this hero who holds the inscription of [Gold] is still as shining and elegant as before.

[Please forgive me for not being able to freely travel through your memory space, so I have to ask the fairy Ellie to do it for me. ]

【Eden... Great, you're safe. 】

To be honest, if Eden hadn't finally appeared, Mei would have thought that she had sacrificed herself as well.

But...even though she's fine now, it's hard to guarantee whether she can remain safe in the future.

Chapter 434: The Heroes: What? She is a Herrscher? Ai Li: Actually, I am a Herrscher~

[So, this is also Su's arrangement? ]

Mei felt relieved after seeing Eden.

As one of Alicia's most sincere friends, Eden must have come here to bring Alicia back.

Then it is obvious that all this is also related to the plans of Su and other heroes.

Immediately afterwards, Ya Nong heard a shocking news from Eden.

[Yes. I know everything that happened before. And now, I guess I am the only one left in the "memory" of the paradise.]

[…I’m sorry…it’s my fault. If I could be faster…]

After realizing that all the heroes have now been sacrificed, Mei felt deeply remorseful.

She felt that she could save the last traces of these heroes left in the world...

[Please don't blame yourself, Mei-san. Ai Li's life was so colorful. It's a bit too much to ask you to restore all her memories from the short time you were in Paradise.]

Eden was very tolerant of Mei's self-blame.

[You have done your best by coming here. Next...it is up to "us" to fulfill our mission.]

[The loss of one memory must naturally be supplemented by another memory. ]

And this memory is everything about Eden and the fairy Ellie...

Mei completed the 99 steps towards Ai Li, and there was only one step left... Eden hoped that she and the fairy Ai Li could complete it on his behalf.

[That’s right! After all, she is the grown-up me! ]

The fairy Ellie standing by didn't seem to have any objection to this result.

Even though she knew that the consequence of doing so would be her disappearance.

But after all, she is a doll created by Ellie based on herself. She is like the incarnation of Ellie and has the same emotions as her.

As for Eden, as Ai Li's friend, the person who has been with her the longest, the long time they have spent with each other, the precious memories they have shared... Now, all of these will become Mei's path forward.

【Complete memories...】

Mei muttered the word and suddenly thought of the price Eden paid for doing this.

[But, as a memory, if you use your own memory to complete the existence of Alicia, you will...]

I will always be a part of her.

In response to Mei's reminder, Eden was the first to answer.

For her, doing so was not a sacrifice, but the best way to sacrifice for her friends.

As a follower of Alicia, she is willing to sacrifice for the beauty in her heart, for the "paradise".

【Isn’t this a very “romantic” thing? 】

"Romantic... This is indeed a romantic description, but..."

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

Obviously, Kiana couldn't accept such a sacrifice.

But now, Eden is the only one left of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire, and these heroes of the former civilization seem to have taken their sacrifice too lightly.

Although some people also attach great importance to life, in the end they still choose mission over life.

"Eden... this is truly a sentence that makes people happy and sad at the same time."

"Indeed, but these are necessary sacrifices to achieve victory."

"That's right. It has come to this. If only one person is left behind, wouldn't that be unfair to the others? After all, everyone has made sacrifices for that woman."

Things have developed to this point, and it seems that there is no room for retreat.

Besides, Eden didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.

As for the reason, it’s actually not that great.

[Please don't worry about me, Miss Mei. ]

[I am never afraid of any form of "death". To me, life is just a long drama.]

Eden expressed his outlook on life and his views on the ultimate question of death without hesitation.

[As long as the curtain call can be ended in the most beautiful way at the most appropriate time, then this performance will be perfect. ]

[This is also her wish. ]

All preparations have been completed and the words you want to convey have been delivered.

Now, it's time to take a bow.

[Well, let's get started. The time to let them bloom has finally arrived.]

Eden spread out her palms, and bright light flowed out from them, gradually gathering into crystal flowers of different colors, one gold and one purple.

【Four "crystal flowers", four "keys"...】

Mei also stretched out her hand. The flower in her palm was a mixture of black and blue, exactly the same as the one in Eden's hand.

【Sharing the same "past"...】

Four crystal flowers floated slowly in front of the two people.

This is the crystal flower that Eden and Mei obtained for various reasons, and it is also the key to unlock the seal.

To Mei, these four flowers are strange.

But for Eden, they can be said to be a recognition and a symbol.

[Mei, do you remember what I said to you? ]

[This is a "secret" kept by a few heroes. I'm sorry, I can't reveal everything without their permission.]
