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

Finally, stepping out and seeing the light again...

She felt a sense of novelty; the sunlight was almost blinding, and the empty amusement park made her feel incredibly at home.

After leaving that oppressive, dominant theater, seeing those familiar scenes again felt like entering a completely new world.

But she also has a part of her plan that she has to complete.

But just then, the enemy in the shadows stretched out its lurking claws, and countless faded Honkai Beasts emerged around her, surrounding her and roaring incessantly.

Not only were they taking action, but the Herrscher of Corruption had also finished dealing with all the trivial matters.

They are currently lying in ambush where she came out, eagerly awaiting her arrival.

This was not a good time. The complete spiral was carving out of Mei's mind, and the intense pain affected her combat. Moreover, the number of monsters this time... was a number she had never seen before.

There were so many that it was terrifying; they could not be killed off.

Soon, she was engulfed by the wave of Honkai Beasts...

"Huh? It's over already??"

Before she fell into a coma, she heard a final voice, the exact same tone reminding her of an old friend…

This was of course impossible, because Velvi had told herself that "her" data had been completely deleted by the enemy.

So at this moment, the voice I'm hearing can only be that of an imposter, someone who has usurped my place...

"Oh dear, you're still alive. So, should I say this next...?"

With malicious intent, a figure that looked exactly like Alicia appeared before her. Her gaze involuntarily went upwards, and she saw the other person's identical attire and the lifelike imitation of their expression.

Mei's eyes were filled with shock and anger.

The words that beautiful girl once spoke to her... were spoken by someone else who killed her but took her place.

She smiled, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and eagerness. She reached up to brush a strand of faded hair aside, her hands clasped behind her back with the elegance of a young girl.

“Hi, how are you feeling?”

Her eyes held the same smile as when she was a young girl.

Mei felt only a chilling cold, followed by an overwhelming anger.

What right does she have to use Alicia's face?!

The amusement park was deserted, its lights still on. The rides were operating as usual, except for two girls standing opposite each other, seemingly intimate.

Strangely, she did not kill Mei.

In her words, she had no ill intentions towards Mei.

"Hmm, why are you angry? That's strange. I'm using the familiar look you know, calling you by your favorite name; why aren't you happy at all?"

She blinked and said with a soft laugh.

"My dear Mei... I saw it in their memories, that's what she called you, right??"

"Hey... Mei, don't look at me like that, okay? I mean it."

"Why did you transform into Alicia's appearance?" Mei asked coldly.

The other person's behavior made her feel that it was an insult to her deceased friend, and every contact with the other person made her recall the vivid girl in her memory.

"Hmm... So that's what you care about? Besides making Mei feel at ease..."

She kept her in suspense for a moment, but Mei showed no intention of responding.

She unconsciously twirled a strand of her blue-purple hair between her fingers; she liked the smooth feeling, a gesture the other person often made.

"Don't you think I look especially cute with this appearance?"

She looked at Mei with feigned anticipation, pointing to her cheek as if hoping for praise.

"..."

Mei remained indifferent, suppressing the anger in her heart.

Without a doubt, the Herrscher of Corruption deleted Alicia's data and even took over her image, attempting to usurp her everything.

Because we have life, we learn to fear death; because we have a body, we understand the pursuit of beauty... Because we have nothing, we want to cherish everything.

These were her words, and they were also a lie.

[Theft - Mei felt her body was being stolen]

[Simply because Airi is so beautiful, Erosion is hopelessly addicted to her.]

【Ugh—, damn it, you're the second character I've ever hated so much, the last one is already buried in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers】

Why did you have to use Alicia's image to hurt me again?!

Golden Courtyard Hall

Pado was also angry; how could the other party be so shameless?

"This is too much! Why is the other person being presented as Alice?!"

She complained, glaring at the Herrscher of Corruption inside.

Even cats have moments of anger.

"Because...I'm already dead?"

Alicia asked tentatively, seeing Paddo's expression as if she had been stabbed again and was about to cry.

She went on to explain as follows:

"However, I also voiced the Herrscher of Corruption, so it's a role worth voicing."

"If rounded up, is it approximately equal to me?"

"Ugh—, how can that guy be compared to Sister Aili?" Pado said, rubbing the can of food in dissatisfaction.

When a person is angry, they angrily rub the cat's head.

"She looks just like me, has the same voice... and might even have the same memories, um,"

Alicia said slowly.

"Don't be silly, she's no good, and she can't fool anyone."

Mebius couldn't help but interject, his face contorted with resentment.

"Hmm... So Mebius means I'm a good person? That's rare. Is Mebius the first person to give me a 'good person' card?"

Alicia nodded with satisfaction, glancing at Mebius with a touch of emotion.

"..."

"Fine, compared to erosion, you're a decent person, at least," she said stubbornly.

"Oh dear, I didn't expect the Herrscher of Corruption to have sensed something too, and just happened to block this path? And she's taking over Alicia's image and won't let go..."

Vervi clicked her tongue, feeling surprisingly surprised.

Whether it was killing Alicia first or impersonating her, whether it was due to accident or cleverness, the other party did indeed make a good move.

After all, there is only one condition for activating the secret weapon—Alicia.

She is the ultimate weapon that determines whether Paradise is destroyed or not, and she is the person that Velvet is willing to give her all to believe in.

Chapter 85 You will never become her

"That's hard to say. Maybe it really was an accident?"

"Speaking of which, Luo Mo also gave me a costume card called 'Faded Fairy Miss.' I haven't tried it on yet to see how it looks!"

Alicia smiled mischievously and glanced at Luo Mo.

"...It can't be the skin I'm thinking of, can it?"

Vervi's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and she looked at Luo Mo beside her with some surprise.

Although I haven't seen it in person, just by hearing the name and the origin of those faded Honkai Beasts in the game, I can guess who this outfit belongs to.

He's really daring!

As expected of her trusted friend, Vervier, when it comes to doing things that are just as reckless as her, the other party is almost on par with her.

She approved!

"..."

Luo Mo opened his mouth, feeling as if he had been betrayed.

He didn't want to reveal this news now. But I have to say... Alicia's timing was perfect. Before the heroes reach their peak against the Herrscher of Corruption, perhaps he will be spared the gunshot wound from his suicide attempt.

"I think it should still be..."

Before she could finish speaking, a flash of white light appeared on Alicia's body, and she was dressed in a faded fairy outfit, which, on the surface, was not much different from her usual heroic attire.

The only difference is that the color is noticeably off, and the hair is no longer a bright pink, but rather a blue-purple gradient, with a red eye symbol on the chest.

She turned around, her pure black skirt swaying, looking somewhat intrigued by her attire. The heroes looked at her with varying expressions, then all turned to look at Luo Mo.

"What do you think?"

Alicia made a cute hand gesture and asked.

"...The clothes are great, don't change them again next time," Luo Mo said helplessly.

As for the questioning looks in the eyes of the heroes, he ignored them, since it wasn't him who made them change their clothes.

The main theme is to have a clear conscience.

"Yes, indeed, this isn't something you can wear all the time, Sister Ellie. What if I have a nightmare, or accidentally attack you if I see you like this?"

Pado said worriedly, taking a deep breath as she looked at her bluish-purple hair.

Now it's really hard to tell Ellie and Erosion apart; they can transform into each other.

"Hmph—, even uglier than pink, Alicia."

“Um, if you don’t mind, Ellie, I can design a better outfit for you.”

Eden said helplessly.
