I already said this is not a life simulator!

Haha~

"Ah... I have to say, you're pretty lucky. Or maybe you and I, and she, have a deep connection. The timing of your coming is really good."

Xi Wang withdrew his gaze from Alicia and turned to look at the bubble beside him... He stayed here just to wait for her.

She smiled, revealing a joyful and happy smile that Alicia had never seen before. With a polite and elegant manner, she held the "ring" in her palm and hid it behind her back, while the other hand reached forward and caught the slender and white hand that groped out of the bubble, looking a little flustered and confused.

The touch was gentle, as soft as flowing water, and the other party seemed to realize who he was touching, so after a slight pause, he held Xi Wang's hand with a little surprise, and let him lead her out of the bubble.

Looking at the figure, Alicia widened her eyes and almost subconsciously wanted to shout out.

You can feel the cool breeze blowing around you, and you can feel the moist air at the tip of your nose.

Of course, there is also the warmth of holding myself in his arms.

"Welcome back."

Ahhh…I know, I know.

She smiled happily, and her long burgundy hair intertwined and mixed with his hair.

Her brilliant golden pupils were filled with joy, and she closed her eyes happily, letting all her weight fall on Xiwang, allowing him to hold her in his arms... and she also raised her hand and held Xiwang in his arms.

"Eden."

He whispered his lover's name.

"Well, I'm back, Xiwang."

She responded so gently.

The two stars that once shone brightly meet and accompany each other again in the repeated and overlapping time.

Alicia on the side just stared at it all in a daze, not knowing what to say or what to do.

She just felt...that she was really redundant at this moment.

Chapter 7472 I Agree, I Do, I Love You ()

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?"

In the base of the "Fire Moth", Velvet's hands kept flying, remotely controlling a variety of instruments, doing her best to fight against the attacks of the "Sea Si" and relieve the pressure on the frontline soldiers...

But "Hai Si" seemed to have known this for a long time. He was able to dissolve her attacks every time, and then in turn occupied her weapons, making them scrapped in a short period of time, forcing Wei Wei to detonate her own works again and again to cause some casualties.

"Although I know there are many traitors here, [Brother] you are also confident of victory, but it shouldn't be now, right? This intensity of attack? Are you serious? At this time? Do you want to [switch homes] with Kevin and the others? They will be so angry that they will die..."

Weiwei continued to remotely control the numerous instruments while muttering to herself.

"And this energy reaction... is only for Skadi? Where are you, Brother?"

Even if there was only Skadi... er... a Honkai beast, it would be difficult for them, the "Fire Moths", to deal with it. After all, Velvi knew the connection between Skadi and Xiwang, and it was completely fine to treat the two of them as one. Facing Skadi was basically the same as facing Xiwang.

Not to mention the countless "Sea Heirs" that came with Skadi, the coordinated attack of the entire coastline, and the accompanying monstrous waves...

Tsk, just defending against these is troublesome enough. The "Fourth God's Key" in the space orbit has been occupied by those "Sea Heirs" that have flown up. Humanity's protection from the weather is also about to be lost... It's really terrible.

However, at this time, [Brother] did not act with Skadi... In other words, [Brother] still stayed in Mu Continent, preparing to deal with Kevin and others... To be more precise, it should be Alicia?

hiss……

"……No way?"

Wei Weiwei paused subconsciously.

"What on earth did she do to you, Brother? Why are you targeting her like this now? Did Alicia offend you in some way?"

"It seems like you two are quite similar in some ways... huh?"

Weiwei noticed the sudden alarm... It was the sound of a high-threat target approaching, and also the alarm that [Heavy Rain] was about to come.

"Is it Skadi? The direction is pointing directly towards here, and she is the only one in the group... Is the target the people here? Or is it..."

Velvet frowned, and before she could continue to think about what Skadi's behavior meant, the communication from Mei interrupted her thoughts.

"…What's wrong, Dr. Mei? I don't have time to chat with you right now."

Velvet answered the call as usual, and temporarily put aside her previous thoughts. While focusing on communicating with Mei, she continued to operate many instruments at depth to hinder Skadi's progress... Although these instruments could not do anything to Skadi, she still had to do what she had to do.

"You should know that the existence that looks like the Herrscher is approaching us quickly... No, according to speculation, it is the Herrscher, but I don't know why it didn't act in the guise of someone else this time..."

"But I have to tell you first, the "Fourth God Key" has been invalidated, and even the backdoor I left behind has been dismembered and demolished by those "Sea Heirs". This means that the "Heavy Rain" will sweep across the inland area in the future, and we will lose the best means of response."

"Plus, the Herrscher showed up here, and Alysia and Kevin didn't return, or even send any messages... That means their operations were hindered in some way, and the Herrscher is taking advantage of our weakness to attack us..."

"With this [Swap] method and Kaiji's current attack speed... we can basically declare that we have already lost."

Wei Wei spoke in a very calm tone, which made the people around Mei feel unhappy... How could she say that? How could she just give up like that?

We "Fire Moths", we humans... have not lost yet!

Although it seems that they are basically on the verge of collapse...but we shouldn't shake the morale of the army at this time! Especially someone like Wei Wei shouldn't say such things, which may directly cause the soldiers to collapse and lose the will to continue to resist!

"It certainly seems to be the case."

"Dr. May?!"

However, Mei unexpectedly agreed with Vivi's opinion, causing everyone around her to panic so much that they couldn't help but shout out.

"But it's not time to despair yet."

May continued.

“It’s not time to give up yet.”

Mei's voice was as calm as usual, as if such an emergency situation could not cause any ripples in her emotions, as if she still had a backup plan, as if everything was still under control.

"Dr. Mei, you should know that with our current combat power, we have no chance of winning. The [rainstorm] it brings and the [sea heir] it leads are likely to submerge us in an instant... Even if we continue to retreat and continue to seek ways to defeat it, we don't have the time."

Velvet spoke quickly and clearly.

"Besides, even if we retreat further, where can we retreat to? We can only survive for a while longer. At present, it is useless to continue to fight. It may even seem meaningless... Dr. Mei, you should also know that giving up decisively after discovering that something cannot be done is what smart people do. This is also the reason why some people can be called geniuses."

"But that's no reason for us to give up, Velvet."

Mei retorted calmly.

“Don’t ask what the meaning of the struggle is. The struggle itself is the meaning… This is a war for our survival, a fight for our continued existence. We… must not give up.”

"Wei Weiwei, integrate the key instruments and data and send them to deeper land, to the desert, plateau or snowy mountain area. There, we should be able to hold on for a while longer."

"We will find a way...we will."

"...Haha, you're right."

Wei Erwei sighed, as if she had figured something out, her tone somewhat helpless.

"I can't give up just like that. It's not my style... Dr. Mei, pack your bags and prepare to retreat to the rear. As for the rest... I'll take care of it."

"You should leave too, Vivi."

"But someone must stay behind to stop it, to stop the Herrscher... With our current combat power, basically no one can do this."

"Even Aponya?"

"Although her power is very special, based on previous situations, her [power] should not have much effect."

"Then what makes you think you can?"

Mei asked this question very coincidentally and at the right time.

"Huh? Why?"

Weiwei chuckled and her tone became more exaggerated.

"Because I'm Vivi!"

"As long as I want to! Then I can!"

“…I hope you can do it.”

Mei paused for a moment before responding, seeming to agree with Weiwei's idea.

...Is this an illusion? I feel like the two of them are coordinating with each other? How can it be so coincidental? So smooth?

...It must be an illusion.

"Then hurry up."

Mei said so.

"I will ask Aponia and some of the troops to stay and assist you so that you can buy more time. Please use their power properly."

"Wow~ What a cruel statement! If that's the case, then are we the abandoned pawns?"

"You have never been abandoned, don't you know that?"

Mei asked back.

"Hehe... Yeah, we can't even be considered as [sacrifices]~"

Weiwei spoke meaningfully, leaving the other people who didn't know what was going on confused.

"Okay, hurry up."

Mei interrupted Weiwei and brought the topic back.

"We haven't lost yet."

Mei said this, not sure if she was talking to herself or to the people around her.

……

…………

"........."

Alicia looked at the two people in front of her, looking at the two people hugging each other happily, facing this scene, she was speechless for a long time.

Should she do something?

But they looked so happy.

Should she say something? Like stop it or something?

But the joy of reunion on Eden's face, the happiness of seeing each other again, the happy smile that only he could show in front of his loved one... could not be fake.

This is obviously something that should be celebrated... My friend is reuniting with the person he likes, and my [companion] is also happy because the two of them are in love with each other after all...

These are obviously two things worth being happy about, but why...

"........."

Alicia was silent for a long time, but finally she could only close her eyes and shook her head, letting her long pink hair flutter, as if to help her dispel unnecessary thoughts and discard those ideas that made her hesitate.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, opened his eyes again, and pulled the bowstring in his hand.

That's not her... That's not Eden...

Alicia told herself this in her heart.

It was just a certain Honkai creature that put on her skin again... Yeah, that's right... that's all.

So... don't hesitate.

Suppressing all the reluctance and hesitation in her eyes, Alicia tried to seize this opportunity when Xiwang and Eden were distracted by each other and not paying attention to her, and tried to give them... especially Xiwang, a crucial blow at this time.

As long as... as long as I kill him... no, as long as I defeat him, everything will be over...

"Ellie?"

However, Eden seemed to have noticed her actions and asked in a puzzled tone, as if he didn't quite understand why she was going to confront Xi Wang with swords... and this gentle call almost shattered the determination that Alicia had just made.

"……Feel sorry."

Alicia could only murmur like this.

Immediately, he released the bowstring, letting the gorgeous pink arrow fly out.

The gorgeous crystal flowers bloomed, spreading their slightly dazzling light around, as if to dispel the darkness around them.

but……

"I told you, Alicia."
