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

Obviously, at this moment, Mebius already understood the Stigmata Plan quite well.

It could even be said that she had realized that what Kevin did was essentially just to fulfill a metaphor she had mentioned before.

Bringing the primitive people in the cave... to the outside world...

Although the price of doing so is the primitive people themselves...

[Similar things have actually happened many times in history, haven't they? Whether it's your history or our history, the meaning woven by people has always had an impact on human beings themselves.]

As comments from viewers floated across the live broadcast room...

Prometheus also continued to explain her point of view.

There are always people who live and die for their beliefs; there are always people who live and die for money. These things that determine life and death, whether [belief] or [money]...are all inventions of human beings themselves.

On a larger scale, we also see that the cornerstone of society has changed from [idols] to [contracts], and the cornerstone of industry has changed from [self-sufficiency] to [supply and demand]. All concepts are increasingly detached from [individuals]...

The so-called "personal brand" is centered on the fictitious "brand", not the "individual" as a natural entity.

Compared to Dr. Mei's thoughts, Dr. Mei's existence is insignificant; compared to the fact that a Herrscher fights for humanity, it doesn't matter who the Herrscher is. But for the Herrscher of Reason who has been passed down for three generations——】

Prometheus paused, as if he was organizing his words, and as if he was thinking about how to respond to Bronya's question after saying this.

[This fact is even more obvious. I mean...if the person standing here is Joyce or Yang, they will definitely feel distressed and want to resist like you, Blotonya, right?]

Although these words made sense, they made Bronya's expression serious again.

And her reaction seemed to be in Prometheus's prediction.

Almost at the moment when Bronya showed her anger, Prometheus responded:

[Don't get me wrong, I have no bias in this matter. In my opinion, [natural humans] and [fictional stories] are the two sides of the world's destiny——]

Humans want to dominate stories, and stories always want to dominate humans. This was originally a delicate balance that allowed civilization, as the fruit, to obtain the richest connotations... But when the collapse came and the end was hanging over our heads, [fiction] launched a full-scale invasion of [reality] - this balance was broken, and both [humans] and [stories] needed to find their own [position] again.

The Herrschers and the Stigma Project are at the two ends of this contradiction. On one side are the Superpowers who have independent narratives and do not need civilization to exist, and on the other side are the Universal Stories that exist independently and do not need to be narrated by humans...

In short, after Prometheus's long story.

The live broadcast room was completely silent.

Not that the guys were put off by the rich and detailed philosophical plot.

But after a long story, most people were completely confused.

Only a few people who could understand without any explanation understood what Prometheus wanted to express.

Of course, fortunately, the person Prometheus wanted to help, Bronya, the Herrscher of Reason, also understood the profound meaning of these words.

[.......The spirit of the Ruler of Reason is undoubtedly [Inherited Reality]. Is this what you said, [The power of the Ruler of Reason is the cornerstone of the anti-Stigmata plan]?]

Bronya asked.

[If we stop at [fiction], then you have already drawn a conclusion on this topic. But since we have to face [reality], some more microscopic analysis may be the really important part. ]

[But... we have been standing here for a long time. For the sake of efficiency - how about we talk while walking?]

After Prometheus finished speaking, Bronya turned her gaze towards her two companions.

[Bronya doesn't mind. But maybe Kiana is tired of standing?]

In response to Bronya's question, Kiana touched the back of her head a little embarrassedly.

For some reason, although she seemed to understand Prometheus' answer, she felt an itch in her head - as if she was about to grow a brain.

Then, everyone followed Prometheus' suggestion and talked as they walked.

Of course, since we have mentioned efficiency.

Then it is naturally impossible for this artificial intelligence that survived by chance to lead everyone to wander around here.

While reading the memories of the Herrscher of Reason, Prometheus discussed with Bronya the solution to the problem.

In the end, her solution was...

[On top of that, if everyone applies their strategies properly... then just as what Bronya just rehearsed in her mind, [Hermit of Reason] can indeed become the solid foundation for you to [surpass] the Stigmata Plan.]

【Heuristic algorithm......】

Bronya muttered the word and came to a conclusion in her mind.

Chapter 494 Everyone: "No way? The birth of Yutu is actually related to Otto?!"

Finally, under the guidance of Prometheus, Bronya successfully delved into her own memory.

As her memories continued to deepen, she finally learned a place name that surprised her greatly - [Ural Mountains].

[So-called [heterogeneity], was implanted here...]

When using Prometheus' method to observe this memory, the third Ruler of Reason easily discovered the strangeness.

[Ural Silver Wolf]——This name inherited from Maxim symbolizes the girl’s past.

But the girl at this time did not understand that on this planet... there was another person whose fate was closely connected with hers.

The girl restored the implanted information back to its original state, and her strength also recovered a little.

[Congratulations, Bronya. You discovered [her] original secret.]

【[she]?】

After regaining some strength, Bronya heard another piece of important news that could not be ignored.

And this her, although Prometheus did not make it clear.

But Bronya and most people in the live broadcast room could guess that this so-called "her" was indeed Yutu.

And this is also a problem for Bronya.

Because with the help of the Stigmata Project, Hato mixed his own memories into Bronya's unstable core.

This is a bad thing and a good thing.

Because before, Prometheus had hinted that there were certain similarities between the Stigmata Project and the Herrscher of Reason.

So she was very afraid of the power of the Ruler of Reason.

Of course, Prometheus denied Bronya's arrogance.

First of all, she needs to prove that the person's motive may not be so.

However, motivation is far less important than the action itself... Functionally speaking, the [information] she implanted has the ability to erode and disintegrate the core of the Ruler of Reason.

Of course, this is not good news for Bronya.

But Prometheus still gave affirmation at the right time.

[However, don't panic - as long as you do the opposite, you will have a chance to take back the initiative and compete with her. ]

After hearing this, the thoughtful Bronya was not happy, and asked back how Kiana and Mei were doing now.

In response, Prometheus promised that he would send them to the spatial location where it would be easiest to escape, as he had done before.

As long as Bronya can restore the power of the Herrscher of Reason in some form, they will naturally return to reality.

After hearing this, Bronya was certain.

What he needed to do was to further unravel the disguise of this [implant] so that it had nowhere to hide in the core of the Ruler of Reason.

Only in this way can we get rid of the current difficulties and the fact that we are being dragged down...

[Hmm. That's a good summary. The Ruler of Reason...its power will disintegrate due to [over-fiction], and will naturally recover due to [return to reality].]

After determining the primary strategic goal at the moment, Bronya immediately began to delve deeper into her memory.

This time, with the appearance of the bitter cold Siberian snow scene, Bronya was surprised to find that she actually had a physical body in her memory.

Prometheus gave an answer to this.

The reason why Bronya has a physical body is actually not complicated.

Because this is the space she found in the core of the Ruler of Reason, and it is the original appearance of the [implant] she just discovered.

The deeper areas can only be reached by Hato, who was originally closely related to the Stigmata Project, and Bronya, who was originally a Herrscher of Reason.

[But the Herrscher Core is, after all, a [fixed point] in the imaginary space. If you ignore the difficulty... as long as you keep moving forward, you will open up a path for your partner to cross the dimension and return to reality. ]

After listening to the guide Prometheus's detailed explanation of the situation, Bronya asked what she would see ahead.

Prometheus' answer to this question is:

【A twisted heart.】

"Eh? Is this... some special metaphor?"

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

Obviously, at this moment, Alicia was confused by what Prometheus said.

Anyway, she couldn't figure out what this so-called twisted heart represented.

"I think this is describing a certain person?"

"Huh~ What else could it be besides a human? It can't be a giant heart growing on the snowfield, right?"

In the live broadcast room, comments of discussions from the audience floated by.

Obviously, at this moment, everyone is a little confused about what Prometheus is metaphorically talking about.

Of course, it’s normal for everyone to not understand.

After all, Yuto's identity is so special...I guess there are few people in the entire Honkai Impact 3rd world who can guess it.

[You might as well think of [her] as a person who is completely opposite to [Walter Joyce]. [She] fears the Ruler of Reason because of the Stigmata Project, and [she] also envied the Ruler of Reason as a person.]

【...】

Hearing this, Bronya's expression turned serious.

However, as if to avoid her misunderstanding, Prometheus immediately began to defend Yutu.

[Please don't misunderstand. [She] is not someone who deliberately makes an enemy of you.]

[No matter what, you are all daughters of Siberia...you are all children of the Ural Mountains.]

As soon as he finished speaking, Prometheus disappeared as expected.

This sudden accident really made Bronya a little overwhelmed.

In order to find out what the other party meant by his words, she began to walk deep into the snowy Siberia.

Of course, strictly speaking, it is a peek into the deeper depths of memory.

By peering into the depths of her memory, she eventually found Yuto crouching in the ruins of a mecha wreckage.

At this moment, she was muttering in a daze, "This is not... because I...", "I... am not..." and so on.

And the moment she saw Yutu, Bronya also understood what she was feeling at that moment.

As for the [Crystal of the Holy Scar], she still finds it difficult to understand where the pain in her heart comes from, but a long time ago, someone once explained it -

[Every being worthy of being called a human being has a giant snake lurking in his heart, like a tyrannical ruler.]

[When a person says: I think.]

[The snake said: No.]

[General, your tank is powerful. It can destroy forests and crush hundreds of people. But it has one drawback: it needs a driver.]

[General, your plane is powerful. It flies faster than a storm and carries more than an elephant. But it has one flaw: it needs a repairman.]

[General, man is very useful, he can fly, he can kill people. But he has one shortcoming: he can think.]

——But at this moment, [Advantages] and [Disadvantages] no longer exist. Death has stripped away all these definitions and negated all concepts.

Hato took a few deep breaths.

【What's this?】

There were many things she needed to feel: body shape, muscles and bones, and the cold wind like a knife.

——This is her birth.

At the initial moment, she found it difficult to connect this all-encompassing disaster with her own existence.

[Have I...become a [human]?]
