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

"So...she was on Raiden Mei the whole time, but she didn't notice?"

Mebius clicked his tongue, finding it quite surprising.

That's a Herrscher... You didn't even feel anything after the virus was attached to your body?

"...I don't know how I should feel."

Mei said helplessly, "How could she possibly know what the feeling of being eroded is like?"

"It felt...like I was being eaten?"

Mebius’s dangerous voice rang out; only she could make such a joke.

Kiana shuddered, feeling a chill run down her spine. What a strange description.

"Did you guys understand what happened next? How did it suddenly jump to the memories of the evil Virvi, and then it showed Mei? It's so inexplicable."

"That's what the insect asked."

She had a general understanding of the origin of the corruption from the preceding narrative. It could only be said that everything was foreshadowed. The mystery of the chaos that Klein had yet to solve, the Paradise Protection Mechanism that she had once thought was triggered by the Herrscher of Thunder... all of these were now being demonstrated.

The enemy's final revelation brought everything together.

Then the emergence of the extremely evil Velvi revealed new mysteries.

"Because... the real Velvi is about to appear, isn't she?"

Möbius whispered.

"Yes, she's about to appear. Although I've only met her a few times... she's completely different from the Velvi you all know. Please look forward to it!"

Alicia smiled and nodded, her smile blooming like a flower.

She actually quite liked that girl...

Unfortunately, this lady from a respectable family truly lived a life of seclusion, never leaving her home.

"...Bronya is actually more curious about whether Mebius and Kevin were really fooled by that Velvi?"

"Duck asked."

Regarding their earlier claims that the will to collapse was her original self, she couldn't discern from any angle that the god imitating anyone's appearance was her.

Perhaps there are still mysteries she doesn't understand.

Putting that aside for now, let's talk about the plot. She simply couldn't believe that Mebius would become Vervie.

"Whether we deceive or not... who knows who will be whose pawn in the end? The process is not important; the result will reveal everything to us."

Mebius narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly, hissing like a snake's tongue.

She didn't believe that Vilvi was someone to be trifled with.

Every single one of those named Vilvi is not someone to be trifled with.

She realized this when she was collaborating with the other party to create the memory display device; each of the Velvies wanted to add their own ideas to it... Wasn't that a bit too much of a personal will?

"Her exceptional trust in her companions is also one of Möbius's admirable qualities, isn't it?"

Alicia clapped her hands twice and said approvingly.

"...I can handle the mess left by the Herrscher of Corruption, but I can't clean up the mess left by Velvet."

"Mebius said quietly."

Yes, she trusted her companions and their ability to cause trouble, and they never disappointed her in that respect.

...

"I'm still here, safe and sound...and not imprisoned as she said..."

Mei analyzed the current situation, suppressing the headache in her heart.

Suddenly, she remembered something and hurriedly went to find a door, where perhaps the secret she wanted to know was.

She arrived at a magnificent room.

Inside, there was warm sunshine, piles of books, and dark green curtains responsibly protecting the windows on both sides. Some violins and paintings decorated the little house.

On the sofa, just as she had expected, the person was eagerly waiting.

She looked up from her book, smiled, and greeted them.

"Hi, you're finally here..."

"...It really was you." Mei looked at the person with the similar appearance with some relief.

Velvet?

She was unlike any of the other Vilvies she had ever met.

Although these different personalities each possess different talents, their only commonality might be that they are all geniuses and leaders in their respective fields.

—Their faces all radiated confidence.

The Magician and the Extreme Evil are the most obvious examples.

But she's different...

She sensed from this Virvi... a long-lost restraint, an emotion that was not visible in the other person.

Geniuses should naturally flaunt their talents, and magicians would love for everyone in the world to see their spectacular performances.

How should I introduce myself to you?

She put down her book, her eyes smiling. "Long time no see? Or...is this our first meeting?"

Her self-introduction was exactly the same as that of the extremely wicked, except it was a mischievous prank.

“It is you… the original Velvi, her true self, a… con artist.”

Mei said in a deep voice that she had seen this name in the records, but she never expected to meet it in the current situation.

There are many accounts of Vilvi, but very few about her id...

very few.

She knew so little about this being that she only learned of their existence from fragments of conversation with Alicia.

There are countless reports about her blowing up the Möbius Lab.

"So, am I too ordinary? A little disappointing to you? — After all, you don't seem surprised at all."

She smiled gently, the warm sunlight falling softly on her. Without the magician's hat, her eyes were as peaceful as a tranquil lake.

Indeed, it's too ordinary.

But that's not what's important right now.

"The villain says... she destroyed all the areas. Is that a lie she told... or is it your lie?"

Mei asked in a silent voice,

The other party's appearance, along with the series of events that occurred, left her no choice but to be cautious.

"Ha, indeed, she destroyed all areas, including the id... But, no one says the id must be confined to the id's domain, right?"

A gentle smile appeared on Vervi's face.

In the past, the curve of her lips would have been higher, more exaggerated, and tinged with sarcasm.

For some reason, this thought flashed through Mei's mind.

"Can I trust you?"

she asked.

The other person's appearance was so sudden and so crucial, just when she was about to lose everything.

"I'm sorry... If I sincerely apologize, would you accept it?"

The girl lowered her head in embarrassment; it was hard to imagine such an emotion appearing on her face.

Mei remained silent and did not respond.

Then, the id, Vilvie, smiled knowingly and began to tell her about her current situation.

She hadn't awakened for 50,000 years, if it weren't for this... loss of more than half of her mental domain.

Even if waking up doesn't necessarily change the situation, at least... she can say goodbye to the rest of them properly?

Regarding the extreme evil and the conductor who kicked it out, the id, Velvey, also admitted that this might indeed have been the conductor's goal. She took the id into account, letting it return to the shadows to wait for its opportunity.

Mei heard the end and understood many things, but there were still some things she didn't understand.

She parted her lips slightly, coldly surveying the other person.

"What about Kevin, Paddo, and Mebius? Their sacrifices seem pointless."

"Yes, it's worthless."

Wilvi nodded in agreement and smiled gently, "So, it shouldn't have happened."

...

[Oh? A sudden turn of events? My Kevin sword is about to be drawn?]

[Only Velvie can defeat Velvie? (Just kidding)]

[An ordinary girl version of Velvi? Oh—no wonder she always seemed to lack a certain personality; geniuses often lack ordinary talents!]

[A girl of a thousand faces; marrying her means you can create a girlfriend with any personality you desire!!]

Vilvi's fame soared, and she became increasingly popular.

Men are fickle, but Velvi can fulfill all your fantasies... even, Velvi can be divided into eight equal parts!!

Big Gretchen was also somewhat surprised. There was actually another Sister Velvet hidden inside Sister Velvet's body, and it seemed to be the real Sister Velvet... That's a bit of a tongue twister.

No wonder, every time I see the colors of rice, it's always a blur, and I can't tell them apart.

"So...they didn't die?"

Kiana took on the role of the curious child.

"No, that should be a modified version of Kevin's weapon, right? It seems... there are some corrosive touches added? No, there shouldn't be any, anything added can't be restored."

"I can analyze this," Vilvi said calmly.
