57 Chapter 57: "The girl who trusts someone"

Inside the stigmata space created by K-423. Sit on a long bench with a melancholic, and sit far apart to keep distance. K-423 who heard [K-423]'s question, sighed sadly.

"....Can we go to the next question?"

"[You seem reluctant to answer. Then, I will tell you. You, still don't believe her.]"

"[Your heart accepts her, but your brain says no. You are a terrible creature.]"

"Hngh..."

K-423 sighed in pain.

"[You wish she could give you a name, but you reject all the names she gave you because of such a trivial matter. The contradiction in your heart will only bring suffering to others.]"

"....Why do I feel like you're scolding me?"

"[Because it's the truth. The truth always hurts, especially for the people involved.]"

"Though irritated by what you said, I will agree with your opinion."

Sit quietly while enjoying the trickle of the sea breeze that smells a little fishy. K-423 tries to change the subject.

"All in all, I'm starting to understand the problem with myself. Thank you for making it so clear to me."

"[You're welcome.]"

"Then let me ask you this time. Why are you helping me? The Will of Honkai wouldn't be so lonely just looking for someone to talk to would it?"

[K-423] nodded her head.

"[Will of Honkai isn't your enemy.]"

"I know that, you've said it several times."

"[Yes, I've said it several times, but the vigilance in your heart still hasn't dropped. That's why I keep repeating it for you to remember.]"

[K-423] looked at K-423 quietly.

"[You yourself know how the Will of Honkai is in this world. Unlike the other games, here you have a guardian.]"

"... Prometheus?"

[K-423] nodded her head.

"[She's the one who also sent me here. Even though she's about to lose consciousness, you don't have to worry about the hand of the Will of Honkai playing behind the scenes]."

"[After all, artificial intelligence highly values ​​the rules they create, even more than their own lives.]"

"[So, your enemy is only one.]"

"Cocoon of Finality isn't it?"

K-423 immediately understood.

Prometheus joined the Will of Honkai and arranged that every herrscher in this era would follow the exact same rules and order as Herrscher in the previous era.

What's different, Herrscher in this era has a high enough chance to return to their human side because there is no interference from the Will of Honkai.

Prometheus is a behind-the-scenes unsung hero who is truly worthy of admiration.

"Another question, what's the hell with Will of Honkai that I met the first time I came to this timeline?"

"[...Just a little careless...]"

"....That little carelessness of yours almost killed me."

K-423 is speechless.

Conducted a series of questions to confirm the doubts in her heart. K-423 asked worriedly.

"Does honkai impact 3 have anything connect to do with GGZ?"

K-423 shook her head: "[The mutliverse is already different, Stop asking such stupid questions.]"

"...."

Found that she had made a fool of herself. Even though she was annoyed that she had been humiliated, her heart was now actually very relieved.

However, getting confirmation that GGZ had nothing to do with the world of Honkai Impact 3 made her heart feel very happy.

The game next door is really too wild.

If there really was a connection between one game and another, then she would immediately make a will on the spot.

"Then the last question. When I was still a stigmata embryo, who supported me to usurp Kevin's authority?"

"Is it really Imaginary three?"

____

In the another place...

Sitting in one of the quiet clothing stores. Sirin who was wearing a pretty dress, and neat clothes, was waiting there nervously.

"I'm so stupid."

Sirin bit her thumb.

Ever since the appearance of the purple white-haired girl, she realized that from the start, everything was out of control.

According to her own personality, would she just wait to die and ask others for mercy?

Of course not.

She will fight.

She was very afraid of death.

But when she will use the power given to her by god. Sirin realized that this power was not following her orders anymore.

This kind of helpless and weak feeling, was almost exactly the same as when she had fought Theresa a few hours ago.

Back to the weak girl who is easy to take advantage of.

This made Sirin hate the girl even more.

"Sirin, change of plans!"

"Cecilia..."

Returned from the front lines, and managed to get important information to save them both. Cecilia clenched her fists excitedly.

"Mama has found a way to save you! Mama just needs your cooperation."

"....You mean that girl? Do you believe her words? Coming from the future, it seems too absurd after all."

Sirin rejected what Cecilia believed.

Only an innocent and very stupid woman like Cecilia would immediately believe her without the slightest suspicion.

After all, she is not a fool.

If not, why didn't the god give her such powers? Exterminating humanity with such strength would be a piece of cake.

Moreover, when Sirin saw the girl's hateful eyes. She had already considered her as her enemy, and had set up a wall of full-scale vigilance just for her.

"But Sirin, if it wasn't not her, we would both die."

"...."

Yes, the ironic truth.

After all, that honkai fusion bomb explosion was real. If that girl had intended to release the Fenghuang Down's feather illusion, then the two of them would have died in the real world in a matter of seconds.

"Okay, let's just say that I agree with your opinion. Then what? You can see for yourself that her hatred of me is a personal matter."

Cecilia smiled gently.

"That's why mama devised this plan for you. A realistic person is an honest person, so we will use this method to defeat her."

Standing in front of Sirin, Cecilia knelt down, and looked into her eyes seriously.

"Sirin only needs to do one thing. Namely, apologize to her."

"Ah?"

Sirin felt something was wrong with her ears. What did this woman just say?

"Apologize? To her? You're telling me to beg mercy to her?"

Cecilia shook her head: "No Sirin. This is all your fault too."

"She showed me pictures of her memories of the second honkai war. She showed me how many people you've killed in front of her own eyes."

Hearing this, Sirin's body suddenly froze.

Now she understood the reason why the little girl hated her so much the first time they met.

"I did nothing wrong! They deserve it!!!"

"Sirin!"

Found out that Cecilia yelled at her. Sirin was stunned, and began to lower her head slowly.

"....You know yourself, what kind of sin I create. Why do you still want to keep saving me? I'm not worthy."

Sirin's body trembled, and she bit her lower lip tightly.

She knows, and is aware of what sin she has made, so she understands that she does not need to be saved.

Just like the girl said.

She must [die here.]

Maybe that will be the best choice. For herself, or for anyone else she has ever hurt.

"Sirin, mama once said to you. I, want to be your mother."

"Is it wrong for me to want to protect my child?"

Looking at a pair of delicate hands, holding both of her hands tightly. Sirin raised her head with tears in her eyes, and she saw a gentle smile on Cecilia's face.

"The past cannot be changed. But, you can change the future."

"Mama believe, with your own hands, you can certainly heal all the wounds of the people you have hurt."

"So Sirin..."

"Trust believe in mama."

"Trust yourself."

Could feel the warmth sent by Cecilia's palm. Sirin took a deep breath, and she made a decision.

"This time... I will trust you."

Sirin trusted Cecilia.

She surrendered her own destiny to this woman she called "mama" in front of her.

"Great, now let's go, Sirin!"

"This is our last battle! We will definitely win!"

Cecilia smiled very optimistically.
