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

The two people standing here are the only humans left in the world who have spanned two eras. They have the longest life and the most distant memories.

However, they were unable to retain anything except the desolation before them - at least that was what he thought.

"Hua, the paradise of the past no longer exists."

"...?"

Kevin's information reminded Fu Hua of some things that she had almost forgotten.

However, the other party shook his head slightly, as if he was not very sure about what he was about to say.

"It doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter to you now."

The man's tone was still the same as usual, and it was impossible to tell what emotion was contained in it.

"...You see, this is the most ordinary scenery in the universe."

"It's deserted, like a graveyard...right?"

The man remained silent in response.

I have to admit that when it comes to making the atmosphere awkward - Fu Hua does have some ability.

Fortunately, she wasn't here to chat, so there was no need to take it too seriously.

After all, the positions of both sides are firm enough, and if they meet again, it would be enough to give face by not clarifying their positions first.

If we just bring it out directly...it means we are not on the same page and will just start fighting.

However, before the fight began, Fu Hua still planned to say something to her comrade-in-arms.

"So... although it's a bit harsh to think this way... but... Kevin, in your opinion, the people of this generation, even if they belong to the same [species] as us, are not your [kind], right?"

She thought of some creature that had become extinct in the course of time—like a strange and rare fish.

The world is alive and well, but nothing can understand its language any longer.

There is no way to dispel the loneliness, just like the solid ice that never melts.

"No, Hua. It's not difficult to treat them as one of the same kind... What's really difficult... is actually letting them go."

——Of course, his comrades were not wrong either.

This kind of attitude, like Mei's when she is working, of treating everything in the world as an "objective object"... has nothing to do with the so-called "sense of belonging".

"Hey...."

Fu Hua let out a long sigh.

"I understand that. That's why I came here."

"...For them?"

Fu Hua denied this.

"No... First of all, it's for you."

"..."

Seeing Kevin remained silent, Fu Hua continued:

"At this moment - at least in my opinion, you need someone who can understand your language. Even if you don't say anything, even if you respond, even if..."

Halfway through his speech, Kevin couldn't help but recite her name in the previous civilization.

After being stopped by Kevin, Fu Hua had to skip this topic and instead mentioned a more core issue.

"Do you... still hate yourself as much as you did back then?"

"I do not know."

——After fifty thousand years, [Hua] may no longer be the same person he was before.

——But Kevin, he is still Kevin.

His last comrades had long since assimilated into the new era.

The only evidence of the existence of that once glorious civilization that was rooted in the earth is now the inscription named "Kevin".

[Kevin] and [Fu Hua] looked towards the dark sky at the same time.

Those names that have passed away...whether she remembers them or not, whether he has forgotten them or not, nothing can be brought back.

[Years later, when the girls are gone, my tunes about them will still exist.]

[But you can take all my songs, I just need a living girl to come to me.]

A singer they once knew, in the distant past, had accurately defined their current mood.

"Since seeing me will inevitably remind you of those who have passed away, then...why not talk about your [last dream]?"

"Now you have done it - even if what prevented the end was another end. But for you, at least through your hands, mankind will defeat the Houkai."

Kevin hesitated to speak about this.

"No, this matter...haha, forget it."

"..."

The man's sigh at this moment surprised the girl somewhat.

It was as if at this moment, he was not Kevin, but another friend of theirs...who was good at harmonica.

"I'm sorry... that you don't have someone better to talk to at a time like this."

"…It's not your fault. So, no need to apologize."

Although Kevin comforted her, Fu Hua did not remain silent.

She asked Kevin about his future plans.

Faced with this question, Kevin's answer was extremely decisive.

As the past was, so the future will be.

"As a [hero]?"

The man was silent for a long time - if he was facing someone else, this silence would probably last forever.

But at this moment, this girl was the only human who could talk to him on an equal footing.

"Yeah~ That's right, a girl from 50,000 years ago must still be a girl! After all, her most beautiful moments have already been set~"

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

Although what Alicia said seemed to be correct.

But on a deeper level, she seemed to have revealed a fact that made the parties involved feel helpless.

"...Why do I feel like there's something else behind your words?"

Although Hua often agreed with Alicia in the live broadcast room, she really couldn't help but complain this time.

After all, I haven't said anything yet. Is it too much to insult me ​​like this?

"Hahaha! This is so funny. She is indeed frozen forever~ I think even for Grayshu, 50,000 years is enough time for her to grow up, right? In comparison~"

Mebius did not continue.

She now understands how Kevin feels when he is a riddler - some things don't need to be said, and the other party can understand.

If the other person can't understand, then forget it.

Anyway, I'm happy.

And in the live broadcast room, when many comments were floating around because of [Girl]...

Kevin stated a bleak and desperate fact.

"Hua, that title...it has never been realized, and it is no longer possible."

"As a [sinner], then?"

Fu Hua's frankness made Kevin fall silent again.

"..."

Then came the answer “…”.

But Kevin didn't hesitate.

Fu Hua could also see this.

It might be more appropriately interpreted as - [helpless].

"......I see."

Hua sighed secretly in his heart.

That's why you are so...fragile, lonely, and...

Fu Hua took two steps forward, walked around the figure that symbolized "invincibility", lowered her head, and saw the man's expression clearly for the first time.

"...Kevin. You're looking for your own [burial site], right?"

[All impermanent things are nothing but metaphors; most of the time things don’t go as planned, but now we have achieved what we wished for].

[Despair] is a wonderful emotion.

When faced with an invincible enemy, people never despair; when all that was once glorious completely disappeared, people never despair.

The moment of true despair is actually the moment when [great achievements] are created.

The man said nothing, but Fu Hua did not continue to ask.

——Waiting for this weighty silence to confirm my guess, and thus to be convinced that my arrival has its original value.

"I will not deny it."

Kevin finally spoke up.

"——A victory of despair is still a victory."

Then Hua asked a question, which was why he was given a break.

Kevin's answer to this question really surprised her.

I didn't expect that this man who was about to achieve great achievements actually had ordinary aspirations.

Unfortunately......

"The moment you become [the winner]... you will also kill the self who has taken [saving the world] as his motto."

"...You know. We, must win."

At this moment, the end of terror stood up together with the man.

"Hua Mei once entrusted the [Spark Project] to you."

"Later... Danzhu and Cangxuan died, and the [Spark] was already a failure in our eyes; and the [Ark] that set out again also accidentally lost contact thousands of years later."

In the end, Kevin told the truth to his old comrade.

This also means that the conversation is coming to an end.

Finally, it is time for both sides to make their positions clear.

"So I decided to seize the first window of execution of the Stigmata Project - when new Herrschers have not yet been born and the number of new humans has exceeded hundreds of millions, to complete our mission at a relatively minimal cost."

"..."

After hearing this, Fu Hua fell silent.

"As you know, Su stopped me. Rather than seeing hundreds of millions of people die at that time, he was willing to take a gamble - betting that [the Hengsha Project] could find the answer [the best of both worlds] before its destined end."

Kevin chose to respect his comrade's choice.

"... I hope he has done that."

Of course, if he did that...then he should be here.

But unfortunately, he is not here.

"Hua, now is the second and final window of the Stigmata Plan. The twelve [herrs designated by us] have all arrived. We can use the [relatively greatest] price to leave the [largest number] of survivors."

If Su has found his answer, then Hua's fire can be said to have never been extinguished.

On the contrary, it will burn brightly from this moment on, cleansing away all the sins that [history] has carried.
