And if nothing unexpected happens, they also know what the "price" will be.

After clarifying her identity, Alicia decided to do something, something that only a human would do.

She chose a "farewell" for herself, which was the "last banquet" repeatedly mentioned in the previous plot.

Before the [banquet] begins, the girl plans to put on some makeup so that she can attend the banquet in the most beautiful manner.

But the girl who had never put on makeup was always dissatisfied with her appearance, even though she was so perfect.

Finally, the girl created the makeup that satisfied her the most. She smiled at herself in the mirror and then turned her gaze to the twelve invitations on the dressing table.

There were twelve letters, and she did not forget Sakura's.

But in the end, she was unable to send them out.

Since no invitations were sent out, how could [the party] be a party?

After all, it was just a punitive campaign against the Herrscher.

No wonder apart from those four, no other heroes showed up.

[Those who are here attend the banquet because they believe in Alicia; those who leave refuse to attack because they believe in Alicia.]

At this moment, the players understood the meaning of this sentence.

Although the choices were different, it was obvious that all the heroes, without exception, chose to believe in Alicia.

When a flawless person gives his true heart, he will naturally receive true heart in return.

Therefore, Alicia's ending could never be a tragedy.

"If Herrscher no longer means a farewell, if every Herrscher has the possibility of regaining his humanity... then humanity will have a chance for hope."

At this moment, even the slowest players realized what Alicia had done with her [Power].

"If [humanity] is my power, if the beautiful things of mankind are all that constitute [Alishia]. Then at the end of the story, let me take them back to the [place] where I was born."

Is that so? So this is the reason for everything?

The group of people who reacted quickly before now had very complicated expressions.

Sure enough, their speculation was absolutely correct. Alicia was indeed the "Daughter of God", a truly flawless person.

"Then, I will sow flower seeds on the dry earth... I believe that since human civilization has nurtured me, I can also make it bloom again...with flawless and eternal flowers."

This is what Alicia did.

Just as she said herself, no one told her what her power was, and no one told her how to use it.

She can only figure it out on her own, and she only has one chance.

But this time, she put everything she had on the line.

At the cost of his own life, he brought a tiny possibility to mankind.

She returned to the place where she was born, bringing with her all the humanity of [Alisa], and successfully influenced every Herrscher of later generations.

She made every Herrscher of later generations possess "humanity".

But this is just a seed after all, and no one knows what kind of flower this seed will eventually grow into.

After all, human nature is too complicated.

And this is indeed the case. This seed blossomed into beautiful flowers in Kiana and Mei, but blossomed into the flower of evil in the Herrscher of the Thousand.

But no matter what kind of flower it is, it is proof of their humanity!

Chapter 596 The Final Puzzle

[As expected. 】

【So this is ah. 】

[Aili is really like that. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid there would be no stories about Kiana and the others in the future. ]

[I don't know what Honkai was thinking. They clearly wanted to destroy humanity, but the first one they gave birth to was a "Human Herrscher" like Alicia.]

[“The Ruler of Man”? In the final analysis, this is just what Ellie calls herself after she made her choice. Her true identity is still unknown, but let’s just assume she is the Ruler of Man. ]

[There is no doubt that Ai Li is a special existence. Although I don’t know what she is, since she thinks she is the Ruler of Humanity, then she is the Ruler of Humanity! ]

[After I knew that Ai Li was a Herrscher, I thought that the reason why she was so happy to see Mei was because she saw someone like her.

But now it seems that the reason why she is so happy is because she knows that her efforts have not been in vain and have borne fruit. 】

[Yes, that seed has grown into a flower. ]

[In fact, I think all the Herrschers of the current civilization can be called "Human Herrschers" right? ]

[The rulers of modern civilization are all "rulers of people". Does this mean... domination and erosion are also considered as such? ]

[Yes, of course not. Although they chose to do evil, there is no doubt that evil is also part of human nature. But this does not affect my wish for them to die.]

The audience began to praise Alicia again. After all, she made such a great sacrifice. It can be said that without her, there would be no story of Honkai Impact 3rd.

Mei, who had just escaped from her memory, finally understood at this moment.

Those invitations that were not sent out meant that it was not a banquet at all, but a mission, a crusade against the Thirteenth Herrscher.

But Alicia arranged it like a banquet because she wanted her ending to be beautiful and shining.

"But she didn't send out the invitations in the end. She was afraid that her truth wouldn't be accepted, and that her only lie would hurt the people she loved."

"She was willing to leave this world with the name of the Thirteenth Herrscher, just because she didn't want to see everything she loved... turn into nothing."

Mei's voice was low.

"Will you... be disappointed in her?"

Fairy Ellie asked cautiously.

"...How could that be?"

Mei held up the invitation letter in her hand. It was flashing with light, like a piece of poetry or a confession, waiting for someone to open it.

However, Mei let go of her hand and let the invitation letter be carried away by the sea breeze and disappear into the distance.

"W-What are you doing!?"

Fairy Ellie was temporarily unable to stop the disguised voice.

"Dear human...why..."

Fairy Ellie was stunned. Why did she throw away the invitation? Did she not want to attend the party of Elishia?

In response, Mei said that since there is no such thing as the Thirteenth Herrscher, what is the point of this invitation?

Even if he hadn't received the invitation, didn't Ying Jie in real life make the same decision as her?

Yes, since the host doesn’t even exist, what’s the use of this invitation?

The audience breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they realized that Mei's current decision was indeed the same as Yingjie's.

Even if Alicia did not send out the invitation, the heroes still refused to attack.

Therefore, in the end, there were only four people who witnessed the end of Alicia.

This should be considered a small regret for Alicia.

After all... [walking to the finish line surrounded by everyone] - such an ending is more in line with her aesthetic.

Therefore, under the watchful eye of the fairy Airishinya, Mei plans to use her own memories to weave a [perfect banquet] for Airishia.

"But, can this really be done?"

Fairy Ellie expressed doubts about this.

After all, the heroes no longer exist, unless Mei can recreate all the heroes on her own.

Mei said that it was indeed an impossible thing.

So, even though the memories of the heroes no longer exist, she can still invite the last person in Paradise, herself, to attend the banquet.

Since it's all in her mind, why not let her add a little of her own [memories] as embellishment?

If the traces left by the past can be transformed into hope in the [future], then the future created by Alicia can of course also become... hope for the [past].

Mei is so good at speaking now. She is no longer the housewife who always shouts "I can't do anything".

In the paradise, she has indeed grown a lot.

The players couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, but before they could do anything else, the plot gave them a big blow.

"What do you say?"

Mei turned her gaze to the fairy Ai Li with a smile on her lips.

"——Aliceia?"

Upon hearing this name, many audience members were shocked.

My mind was blank and I was completely confused.

Another part of the audience seemed to have expected it.

[As expected. 】

【It seems that my guess was correct.】

[What? Fairy Ai Li is Alisia? And you all know this? ]

[I see. No wonder I felt something was wrong with Fairy Ellie just now. I just didn’t think about it carefully.]

[Indeed, now that I think about it carefully, the flaws in Fairy Ellie's disguise are quite obvious. No wonder so many people saw through them.]

[Wait, why is Fairy Ellie flashing again? Does this mean that Fairy Ellie's body is about to collapse? Is the old thief going to let us say goodbye to Ellie again? ]

How should I put it? I do have to say goodbye to her one more time, but not now.

In the plot,

"Mei..."

Fairy Ai Li, no, it's Ai Lishia who has stopped pretending and returned to her own accent.

"When did you find out?"

"It started from the time you called me [Ailishia] instead of [mature me]."

"Isn't that the beginning?"

Alicia smiled. Doesn't this mean that her disguise is meaningless?

Many viewers were very upset. How come they didn't notice such an obvious flaw at the beginning?

Also, Mei, you really should become the Herrscher of Reason, right?

"After all, your childhood experiences don't seem like someone else's retelling of them. They even... have a strong "fairy tale color" to them."

"It's just some [rhetoric]! The content is all true, I assure you."

Alicia waved the magic wand in her hand and made a very cute gesture.

"Of course, I won't doubt you again."

Yes, she would no longer doubt this flawless girl.

The players also nodded along with Mei.

So many things have happened from the Promised Land to now.

Everyone's views on the heroes have undergone a tremendous change.

As for Alicia, no one will doubt her true self anymore.

"What I saw was your true self. The things you said along the way were mostly what you really thought, right? Just like the invitation letter that was sealed but not sent, you were also afraid... I don't want to accept your truth."

So when Mei threw away the invitation just now, the fairy Ai Li, no, it was Alicia who was so anxious that her voice broke.

After all, she had finally mustered up the courage to do something that she couldn't do in reality - that is, to send out this invitation letter.

In the end, Mei threw it away. How could this not make Alicia anxious? Besides, she must have been very scared at that time, right?
