To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Suddenly, the phantom's words interrupted their conversation.

In contrast to her previous silence, it was impossible to confirm whether the other person was indeed an image, and the timing was impeccable.

"This... is instant messaging?"

Mebius on the ground was somewhat shocked. Had she made a mistake in her judgment?

But... what kind of instant messaging can bridge a distance of 50,000 years?

Klein looked at her and gently shook his head.

“Klein... if you wanted to fool me, you shouldn’t have left such an obvious flaw.”

"I'm still the same... I remember everything that happened clearly."

Mebius seems to be trying to add weight to her words; she won't let such an obvious flaw go unnoticed.

"Back then, let alone memory cells... even the Paradise of the Past didn't exist yet, so how could I possibly leave any messages for myself?"

"Because it's fun, isn't it?"

Once again, the phantom interrupted their conversation, causing Mebius on the ground to look at her with even greater suspicion and uncertainty, at this person who shouldn't have appeared.

Unless... you've factored in all of your actions?

Chapter 18 To My Other Self (Free, plus 11/24)

"To re-examine your past self from an outsider's perspective... such opportunities are rare. You should thank me, your other self."

She kept her hands tucked into the pockets of her white coat and spoke calmly and without expression.

Even after 50,000 years, her guesses about the situation here are still accurate to the last detail.

"If it were me... I'd probably already said enough in my rebuttal, right?"

She said thoughtfully,

Even though I didn't see anyone, it felt as if I was having a conversation with my past self in paradise.

"Of course, by the time you see this video, you may have changed a lot and become a very talkative person."

"But no matter what... this is the last time. Be patient and let me finish... okay, my other self?"

"..."

Möbius lowered his head, disappearing into the shadows, and remained silent; no one could discern his expression.

Perhaps out of shock at the newly appeared Möbius, or perhaps because she listened to what he said and took his advice to heart, she listened attentively.

Her silence was an admission of consent.

The phantom image of Mebius seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

She spoke with a hint of hesitation, as if she didn't know where to begin.

"Hmm... I want to seize this last chance, but... I don't really know what to say."

"You know what? Actually, I made this decision a long time ago. The arrival of the end is just an excuse for me to pretend that I have no choice."

"……absurd!"

She lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and uttered two words: she didn't want to hear what the other person was saying at all.

"I know, this sounds ridiculous, right?"

"In many people's eyes, Möbius is immortal, a monster who can be resurrected no matter what kind of death he has experienced."

"But you...you must know that I...we are actually more afraid of death than anyone else. ...Afraid of the unknown that arises from death."

"It's just a little painful, it's just smaller, it's just shedding a layer of skin..."

As the saying goes, no one knows you better than yourself.

Of course, this is often just a joke, used to refute others' judgments that one only has a superficial understanding of oneself.

But at this moment, it became reality.

"..."

Möbius suspected the other person... and himself. How could she predict every move he made? Even down to the specifics of his every word?

But... it can't be instant messaging...

Reason told her that the other person was just an image, not something left over from the past;

But her intuition told her that the other person had indeed anticipated every step of the way...

Could anyone predict what Möbius would do? The great, peak Möbius... no one could guess her thoughts.

So, am I a fake?

"When I first became a Fusion Warrior, I didn't think it was a very scary thing."

"At that time, I even felt joy at my own ability—it gave me infinite life, allowing me to explore all the possibilities of human evolution..."
