Honkai, they all became my stigmata

"Because of my own particularity, I am currently the only one in the Firemoth who can take on this important task. I will investigate here before the Ying Jie come back."

The so-called particularity of Prometheus is her identity as a super artificial intelligence.Artificial intelligence is indeed not affected by the commandments. After all, Prometheus only imitates the human way of thinking through programs, rather than having a soul that can be driven by the commandments.

"So, what the hell did Aponia do?"

Dust Feather asked.

Hearing this question, the gray-haired girl covered her forehead with one hand, as if she was retrieving relevant data from her own database, and seemed to be sorting out her speech. In short, after a few seconds, She belatedly replied:

"...Aponia betrayed the Flamemoth."

Chapter 41

Inter-chapter Drowning Climbing Weeds to Survive

"Aponia, do you plead guilty?"

On the interrogation stand, which looks like a serious court, there are countless people who are judged on behalf of them.

They cast their eyes from a high altitude, looking down at the sinner who lives alone at the bottom.

A merciful nun.

"...I plead guilty."

But what was on her mind was the real reason for her committing these crimes.

Even if everything is in vain, she can't stop trying.

The gavel fell on the courtroom, and the judges began to state Alponia's crimes.

One of the crimes.

"Are you trying to erase the memory of all those who know about the Flaming Moth, as Wei Wei discovered, and are you unable to fill the void in their memory?"

Because we've come to this point after knowing what we shouldn't pry, she thought.

But she said, "I plead guilty."

After all, this led to great chaos and turmoil at the social level, and even caused countless insiders and civilians to lose their lives.

The second crime.

"Did you use your own ability to completely fabricate the thinking of a female commoner into another Alicia?"

Because that was her own request, and we need more hope, she thought.

But she said, "I plead guilty."

After all, this led to the madness of the commoner, and brought new despair instead of new hope.

The third crime.

"Did you try to let the minds of six hundred members of this site exist in one person's body at the same time, which eventually led to nearly forty vicious incidents?"

Because they're all dying, I just... want them to live, she thought.

But she said, "I plead guilty."

After all, this has resulted in the creation of the most heinous criminals, at the hands of countless innocents.

The fourth crime.

"Have you tried to copy the personality of the Eighth Herrscher?"

Because I don't know what to do anymore—she thought.

But she said, "I plead guilty."

After all, this almost led to another mass coma disaster.

"..."

The trial is still going on, and the crimes she committed are far more than ten.

"To sum up the above 410 crimes, Albonia, are you willing to accept excommunication?"

But who can do such a thing if I don't want to--she thought.

But she said, "I accept."

The criminal accepted his punishment, and the judges on the high platform talked a lot.

They were discussing how to impose the death penalty on this vicious prisoner, but just when the judge was about to knock down his gavel, everyone noticed something strange.

Unspeakable fear enveloped them, and at this moment they realized that it was not they who were in the high place, but the nun.

She, bathed in the light, and they, from the very beginning, lived in the deepest cage.

"...Thank you for sorting out my own failures for me."

The nun was just talking wearily.

Her expression became even more lifeless, gloomy and desperate.

Even now, she still can't forget the moment long ago, when an invisible hand pushed her forward slightly, making her see the fate of all beings more clearly.

Invisible threads hover over everyone's heads, but to Alponia's despair, all the threads die at the same moment.

That represented the end of this civilization.

——From then on, she began to try all possible methods, hoping to shake the thread of fate, but no matter how she tried, the fate of mankind remained unchanged.

She... can't do anything.

"But...I'm going to keep doing this."

Alponia whispered softly, and walked away from the deepest place.

She is walking and thinking.

Exactly how... can change the fate that will eventually come and deflect it.

The doomsday is approaching, and the time left for her is running out.

When she walked to the door of the deep prison, a familiar and pleasant voice fell into her ears.

"Hi? ~ Aponia, I'm here to see you again."

"Ellie...you're here."

The lifeless nun looked up at the ever-active pink girl.

She stared blankly at this bright smile. The existence named Alicia was so dazzling, like a ray of sunshine in winter, it could always bring warmth to people.

Just like an angel in a fairy tale, with that angel's sculpted face and kind heart, he can always easily break through the hearts of others.

In this era that is about to die out, she is like the last ray of light, illuminating the darkness in everyone's hearts and slightly dispelling the emotion called despair.

—at least, for Alponia.

Her eyes lightly brushed over the face of the pink-haired girl, and her gifted foreknowledge unconsciously made her see the future.

This fleeting glance made Alponia feel even deeper despair.

On the top of this flying flower-like girl, the thread of fate came to an end faster than others.

This left Albania with no time to listen to Alicia's words, and she was struggling with how to change all this, and even change Alicia's ending.

"..."

She suddenly remembered something.

Long, long ago, when she was just an ordinary nun in the convent.

She had met someone once, someone who had come to the monastery for information.

Although it was only a vague and vague memory, like a dream that did not exist, but with her own aptitude, she still clearly recalled every detail again.

Aponia is quite sure that he... really changed a girl's fate.

In this case, whether...

"..."

Should she try it?

Even though, she didn't know whether her next behavior was right or wrong, and what consequences it would lead to.

Perhaps, it will lead to another catastrophe...

Try it, after all she has no choice.

A drowning person, even if there is only hope as insignificant as a weed in front of him, he will try to reach out and grab it with all his strength.

"Apolonia, what are you thinking?"

Seeing the nun in front of her lost in thought, the pink-haired girl tilted her head slightly and asked playfully.

"Look, my hairpin today is specially from Eden..."

"I'm sorry Ellie..."

Aponia closed her eyes, apologized in a low voice, and before the girl realized it, she embedded the [Discipline] deep in her soul.

Of course she was not on her guard, and the nun felt remorse for her actions.

She broke her trust, but it was a necessary sacrifice.

"...Come on, brave man, come to【Save】again."

I don't know who the whispered words were addressed to. Holding the girl who had turned into Sleeping Beauty, the nun walked into the depths of the dark world.

Chapter 42

gravitational

Almost at the same time when Prometheus uttered this news, Chen Yu also heard the prompt sound from the system.

[This mapping mission: assist Prometheus to prevent Aponia's actions together]

Alponia's betrayal?

Chen Yu vaguely remembered that he had received some information about the last period of this era from Mebius and Prometheus in another world.

For example, Alponia disappeared around the No.12 Honkai, as if it ceased to exist.

Hmm... In other words, the current time point should be after the No.11 Honkai and close to the No.12 Honkai time period.

Chen Yu analyzed in her heart.

He originally wanted to dig out more information from his memory, but found that the only information he could remember about Aponia was this.

He thinks that he should have obtained information about what happened here through them before, but now he can't remember anything.

He clearly recalled that he had sought various information with Mebius and Prometheus, but at this moment, he couldn't recall even a single detail.

——My own memory has been tampered with.

Chen Yu realized instantly.

Prometheus said that only she and himself were not affected by the precepts, which is obviously wrong. From the moment he woke up, he had already been affected by the precepts.

This is not the first time he has experienced this incident. As early as in the last incident involving the Herrscher of Death related to Xier, he had been erased by Aponia many times, so that he kept repeating In vain reincarnation.

And since this is Alponia's world, it means that his memory was once again affected by the precepts.

"...so, can you tell me more about it?"

Chen Yu rubbed his head.

Since memory doesn't work, I can only seek answers from Prometheus around me.

"About three hours ago, Aponia took away all the criminals in the Abyss, as well as the Firemoth soldier squad stationed near the Abyss, besides..."

After a pause, Prometheus continued.

"Alicia was also taken away by her."

"...?"
