Cecilia silently supported Sirin and recited the spell of love, as if she wanted to give her a touch of warmth at the last moment.
At the last moment, Sirin made a wish. In the unknown future, she hoped to have her own ordinary happiness.
...
In the dark and silent room, Kevin was sitting on the throne, and two World Snake cadres were visiting.
"It was at that time that I was born as her stigmata, which came out soon after."
"It was then that I came into existence as her stigmata," Misteln voiced out in the quiet space, her gaze fixed on the seated Lord. "But I lack the divine blood with its healing powers; all I can do is propagate the antithesis of Honkai."
This is their first meeting.
Kevin remained silent, his eyes reflecting a complex mix of emotions. The narrative of the second Honkai was a rollercoaster of highs and lows, featuring numerous individuals of unwavering resolve and humanistic brilliance.
Welt's existence in the Quantum Sea was merely a fragment of the entire tale. Surprisingly, it also included his own appearance…
However, this is from another world.
In this world, he has not met his successor.
"So, the Stigmata Project?" He glanced at Hare standing below him and asked with a hint of indifference.
"I'm not sure about the progress of the Jackal," Misteln responded, her head slightly bowed.
The intense pressure was indeed a precursor to the pre-civilization era, and the strongest warrior from that era, as mentioned in the video, truly lived up to his reputation.
Upon seeing Alexandra's daughter in the game, she too began to take an interest in it. Initially, she was somewhat concerned that she might not be able to perform her duties properly.
However, she noticed that the Lord was also engrossed in the game, not to mention Gray Snake, who had previously attempted to breach the company's firewall before the game's release.
Looking on the bright side, this could be a group activity of the World Snake Organization, although it seemed a bit far-fetched.
"It's still going to take some time; just be prepared when the time comes." Kevin wasn't overly anxious anymore. He was curious to see how to Defeat the [Finality] in the game.
If the method can indeed be replicated, then abandoning the Stigma Project might not be out of the question.
But for now, it's too early to tell.
Furthermore, he had this gut feeling that he might eventually come face-to-face with the hero who is destined to save the world.
In light of this, it would be unwise to abandon your plan, as the impact of certain variables on the future could be immense. A whetstone, you ask? That's fine.
It's just like the line he uttered in the Game PV,
[Your journey has come to an end]
[But you have not yet crossed the final door.]
[If you understand the meaning of the end, come forward.]
[Defeat me.]
A slight smile played at the corners of his mouth before he regained his composure.
But... a hero?
Funny, once upon a time, I was such a hero.
But now I just want to give my companions the promised victory.
...
"This is really... an excellent Story." Elysia couldn't help but sigh. She hadn't seen such a story in a long time.
"Despite the sadness, despite the pain, the human spirit continues to march forward, always reaching for hope and the distant future."
The themes of humanity, friendliness, and the Herrscher are intricately woven with elements of love and friendship.
Elysia was deeply moved by this story, but she found the ending rather unsettling. It was clear that everyone had made significant sacrifices, yet the story concluded on such a note.
It seemed rather unfair!
"Indeed, it's a story that's hard to come by," Eden agreed. She closed her eyes, and the vivid images of the characters sprung to life in her mind.
The wayward son who finally found his way back, and the noble Siegfried who gave up everything for victory.
Theresa, the 'young' girl who had been defying her grandfather, demonstrated the true responsibility of a Valkyrie through her actions.
Welt , who was always in control of the situation, did not hesitate to risk his own life to lead to the final result.
Even the antagonists of the story, Siren and Otto, were portrayed so vividly that they seemed to come alive before our eyes.
Siren has always been a miserable girl.
She found herself entangled in her destiny, her Fate. She believed she had control over her fate, but it only led her deeper into a dark abyss.
Her expectations and hopes were never about a person or a God. What she yearned for was the simple, ordinary daily life that she couldn't resist and found herself constantly drawn to.
But at the last moment, she noticed that God had never cared about her.
The words left behind by Cecilia became a mantra that she always remembered, a constant echo in the main plot of her life. Her heart could only find warmth in these memories.
"I have a fondness for girls like Cecilia," Elysia confessed, her excitement growing as she spoke.
"She is strong-willed and powerful, always stepping up in times of crisis. Yet, she retains the unique tenderness of motherhood, and even has a playful and humorous side. She's also quite skilled at games. It's amazing, isn't it? How can someone be so adorable!?"
As Elysia spoke, her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "She's almost on par with me, Elysia! Just a tiny bit behind."
Elysia gestured with her fingers, the small gap between her thumb and index finger indicating her approval.
"Well, if you hadn't added that last sentence, I would've agreed with you," Vill-V responded, adjusting the brim of her hat and speaking with a hint of embarrassment.
Lately, she had been preoccupied with creating new and intriguing inventions. However, she seemed to have found some inspiration in the game they had just played.
"Why not? Can't those words describe Elysia too?" Elysia asked, puzzled.
"How can I praise myself?" Bronya retorted, unable to tolerate it any longer. She found it utterly shameless.
"No way, I'm just that good. Is it wrong to praise me?" Elysia retorted, confidently placing her hands on her hips and flashing Bronya a smile.
"..." Bronya didn't want to reply.
"Well, in my opinion, Sister Elysia is not only beautiful but also has a great sense of humor," Seele stated, looking at Elysia with a serious expression.
In Seele's eyes, Elysia was a role model worth emulating. She believed that if she could be more like Elysia, she might not be so fearful and prone to making mistakes.
However, Seele couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed in herself. She thought she was too timid and often hesitated to take action.
Elysia blushed a little and looked away.
direct compliments. Seele is so cute. I really want to hug her! ♪
Looking at Seele behind Bronya, Elysia gradually became malicious.
Noticing this, Bronya furrowed her brows, looked at Elysia sternly, and moved to shield Seele. "What are you planning to do?" she asked cautiously.
"Of course, they're similar!" Elysia responded without a moment's hesitation.
"Alright, enough with the jokes, Elysia. It's time to get down to business," Kevin interjected, putting an end to her playful behavior.
"Business? Isn't what I'm doing considered business?" Elysia retorted.
"Oh? What exactly are you doing? Enlighten me," Mobius chimed in, squinting slightly as she woke up. She looked at Elysia with a gentle smile on her face. As soon as she woke up, she noticed Elysia was up to something.
"I'm currently assisting Seele in mastering the power of the Herrscher," Elysia declared, her voice filled with conviction as she gestured emphatically.
"But Sister Ellie, weren't you just conversing with Bronya?" Cat (Pardo) queried, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes, I was. I'm helping Bronya prepare to harness the power of the Herrscher of Reason," Elysia responded.
"You sound like a Herrscher yourself," Bronya remarked, her tone indifferent.
After Bronya's comment, a silence fell over the scene. Those who understood the situation remained quiet, while those who were clueless refrained from making baseless comments.
"Shall we move on from this topic?" Elysia suggested, before muttering to herself, "Elysia doesn't harbor any ill intentions; she's just having a bit of fun."
Kevin glanced at Bronya before shifting the conversation, "Let's discuss Otto, Sirin, and their similarities and differences."
Elysia didn't hesitate to express her disdain for Otto, "There's nothing to discuss about Otto. He's pure evil. If he were here now, I would shoot an arrow through his head on Cecilia's behalf."
From the events of the second Honkai, it was clear that without Otto, Sirin would have perished multiple times.
(huh, what do you mean Elysia? in this world Sirin lives even without otto! more lively than sirin otto)
Although it might sound harsh, ending the war as soon as possible was the best course of action.
Upon reflection, Welt initially had a chance; then Fu Hua took complete control; finally, both Siegfried and Cecilia managed to defeat her. Despite her severe injuries, there was a possibility she could survive.
"Despite Otto's numerous mistakes during the second Honkai, he did conduct some remarkable experiments," Mobius disagrees
Mobius disagrees with elysia. As for deja vu, doesn't the Fire Moth do this all the time?
Because Elysia was so popular, they hid her on the spot and let others defeat the Herrscher.
"Furthermore, this is just a fraction of his story. The plot is designed to serve the characters. When one character is glorified, another is often diminished," Mobius concluded.
Kevin, feeling a sense of helplessness, touched his forehead. He had no desire to engage in this discussion. Elysia had a knack for subtly shifting the conversation each time.
"So, Vill-V, Mobius, what are your thoughts on the final oracle and Otto's plan?" Kevin asked, cutting straight to the point.
"Hey, hey," Elysia interjected, tilting her head and turning to join Bronya. She believed that they shouldn't concern themselves with such matters. After all, wasn't Luo Mo there?
This was his game!
"Don't be anxious, Bronya," Elysia reassured, approaching with a mischievous grin. She decided to randomly select either Bronya or Seele, ensuring that everyone had a one-third chance.
She didn't mind choosing Veliona either!
Bronya cast a sidelong glance at Elysia. Over time, she had learned how to handle Elysia's antics; she was indeed a lively character.
So, just find something that interests her more.
Sorry, teacher, Bronya said it sincerely in her heart and decisively sold Welt.
"Elysia, we were just pondering why Welt is often referred to as the 'sit-up coach'," she said.
"Welt? What's the matter with him? Why?" Elysia asked, her confusion evident. Her curiosity was surfacing, and she was itching to know more.
At that moment, Eden approached, a chuckle escaping from behind her hand.
"Eden, my good Eden, tell me." Elysia shook her arm and blinked at Eden with her big eyes.
Eden raised her glass and said with a smile, "Ellie, didn't you see? Every time Welt plays, he may not be... well, the MVP of modern civilization, but his participation rate is high. It's outrageous."
"Think about it: in the second Honkai Impact, except for Otto, Siegfried may not have as high a rate of appearance as his opponent, and the most important thing is, he looked like he was going to die every time, and in the end he was still alive until now."
It is not difficult to think that while she was playing Honkai Impact 3 recently, she also played other games.
After all, games are said to be the ninth art. If it can achieve plots like the second Honkai and the last lesson, she wouldn't mind giving it a try.
"Hmm, it seems like it's really fitting!" Elysia exclaimed, a hint of embarrassment in her voice as she remembered the storyline.
She wondered how some characters could be so active on various battlefields, not just trying to survive but also getting critically injured every time. Wasn't that a bit too resilient?
Or was it just a stroke of good luck?
Elysia fell into deep thought: Why is there no lovely Elysia?
...
And Welt, who was lying down and pretending to be sick, was also reflecting on this issue.
In the second Honkai, he also realized that he was a little too active.
Whether it was fatal physical injuries, injuries to consciousness, or damage to the core, I had suffered them all.
He subconsciously touched his body and let out a long breath. He felt from the bottom of his heart that it was not easy for him to still be alive.
As expected of him being good at sit-ups, he suddenly understood the origin of his nickname.
"Welt, how are you feeling now?" Tesla, who had been caring for him, asked with a hint of worry in her voice.
in Second Eruption, After enduring several days of intense injuries, Welt had managed to rise from his bed and play his part in saving the world.
Tesla couldn't help but wonder why his recovery was taking longer this time?
Welt let out a sigh. He had made up his mind to accept his fate; he couldn't bear the pain any longer.
However, looking at the brighter side of things, he realized that he would soon be passing on the mantle of 'Welt' to Bronya and retiring. so just treat this as your last job.
After a period of consideration, coupled with everything shown in the game, he recognized Bronya's will.
The human heart is unpredictable, and the most challenging thing to gauge is a test. Fortunately, the game seemed to align with his thoughts.
"Yang, don't move around; you're still not fully recovered," Tesla cautioned, noticing Welt Yang attempting to get up.
"Stop pushing yourself too hard!" she added hastily.
"No, I'm feeling much better. I think I can manage a short walk." Yang stretched his body and responded with a faint smile.
"Anti-entropy has been a blessing to you recently."
Tesla was murmuring in her heart.
She noticed that Yang was doing well in the morning and was even able to leave by the afternoon. It didn't appear as if he was pushing himself too hard.
She shook her head, dismissing the doubts that had started to creep into her mind. Yang, being an honest person, wouldn't lie about his condition, would he?
...
Schicksal Headquarters, in the office
"This doesn't match up with reality," Kallen concluded after going through all the available information.
What plan will Otto make next? Kallen's heart rippled.
She sincerely prayed that he would not hurt more people in the future.
What Otto did was no longer the Otto he remembered. For the sake of a variable that might affect the plan, he frantically used missiles to bombard the heroes who had just defeated Honkai at all costs.
Kallen found it hard to comprehend such behavior and she certainly didn't approve of it.
Schicksal always treated the fighting Valkyrie as heroes, and it was unthinkable to stab a comrade in the back.
The war of the Second Honkai had left its mark on the land of Siberia. Blood had been spilled, but there is no sin.
In reality, it was Cecilia who had survived, not Siegfried. This fact piqued Kallen's curiosity. But upon further reflection, it wasn't all that surprising.
Their injuries had been all serious, and it was a miracle that they had survived at all.
Many Valkyries had lost their lives in that catastrophe. Their heroic efforts had led to the defeat of the Herrscher.
Cheng Lixue, who was inside [The Great Hibernation], had also been frozen for a long time. Kallen wondered if the heroes from the pre-civilization era could do anything about it.
She pondered over it, but to be honest, she wasn't sure, even after witnessing them revive Wendy and assist Himeko.
After all, Cheng Lixue's injury was too serious.
