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

If she can't win, then the rest of the story might be unwatchable.

"It's okay, I won't mind now that I'm older."

Little Gretchen said sensibly, "That's just a game, and... those are just drawings I made."

"Sigh... alright, that's how it is."

Big Gretchen still fired the final shot, watching the ending on the screen with a thrill, her heart pounding. If you ask Luo Mo... it would be better to play a shooting game with Kallen under the moon.

With the final blow, Gretchen's defenses were torn apart as she had hoped.

The previous attacks had already left this space riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse.

At this point, Gretchen was forced to reveal herself to the Herrscher of Corruption without any warning.

Her eyes widened in surprise, as if she couldn't accept the current situation.

She had never considered that Gretchen was such a naive person, and that the reason she couldn't leave... was actually this.

"You... you painted yourself into that painting too?"

She asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.

She thought Gretchen was trying to do something heroic and was deliberately buying time for Mei... but the reason was simpler than she thought: she really couldn't bear to leave.

She is in the painting, and all the colors and data are also contained within it.

"In the end... someone else made the choice for him, that's what Kosmo said, right?"

Gretchen quietly asked and answered herself, her gaze calm as she looked at the Herrscher of Corruption, her face displaying a variety of colors that shifted unpredictably.

"Then there should naturally be another person in this painting as well..."

"Since everyone says I'm a blank sheet of paper... then I'll use myself as my canvas, Kosmo shouldn't mind, right?"

Her innocent words revealed what was on her mind.

So, in his youthful naiveté, he staked his life on it?

The Herrscher of Corruption couldn't accept this reality; she glared angrily at Gretsch.

She wasted a lot of time just etching a painting?

He failed to obtain any data from Yingjie's memory, and even the power contained within it was completely destroyed by his own hands in the battle just now.

"So... Gretchen, is this your decision? Just to prevent me from pursuing them, you're willing to sacrifice your own life in vain?"

The Herrscher of Corruption suppressed her anger and forced a smile as she asked.

"Pursuit...? I... I don't understand."

Greta shook her head blankly. Kosmo always said that it was the adults' plan, so she also tried to be a good child and never eavesdropped.

A simple smile played on her lips, and her eyes shone with a certain light.

"Although Kosmo doesn't say it, he's most afraid of being alone..."

“I just didn’t want him to be alone in the painting too.”

In this way... will Kosmo no longer be afraid, nor lonely?

Snapped--

With a violent tearing sound, the scroll that had been holding up for so long vanished in an instant.

At this moment, the anger that the Herrscher had been trying so hard to suppress finally burst forth, almost breaking through her body as Alicia.

In an almost brutal manner, she completely obliterated Gretchen's already disappearing form, along with the gradually fading painting.

Before this, the reasons why others chose to sacrifice themselves seemed absurd enough to her.

And now, the most absurd and unacceptable reason for sacrifice has appeared before her.

She received no nourishment for her memories.

I experienced the most intense anger.

After coming out, he didn't rush to look for Mei. He stared blankly at the sky and let out a sigh that sounded like he was tired and helpless.

"Hua, what does that painting look like? Can I see it too?"

Looking at the pinkish-purple sky that had been eroded in the distance, she spoke to the gray-haired girl in front of her who was clenching her fists warily.

...

In the Golden Courtyard,

"Gresh... just so Kosmo won't be lonely?"

Kiana finished reading the plot and blinked blankly.

The other party didn't even understand the meaning of pursuit, and thus somewhat hastily sacrificed his life. The girl, who lacked common sense, made the right choice.

But it made her feel heartbroken and sad.

Because that was not the choice she should have made.

"..."

Kosmo closed his eyes and pondered some things.

From the perspective of others, and from his own perspective, he had always been the one taking care of Gretchen as the older brother, and that was indeed the case.

But at some of the most crucial moments, Gretchen showed more courage and did a better job than him.

"...Kosmo doesn't need to become someone else. The person you aspire to be is who you are now."

"Greschow's words are so beautiful, so moving!"

Alicia praised without reservation. Looking at little Gretchen's face, she felt an urge to pinch it and hug her tightly.

Grey has really grown up.

"To my surprise... I thought I hadn't grown up in that paradise, but it turns out... you've become another version of me."

Big Gretchen put down the controller and smiled as she looked at her tiny self.

Regardless of the reason or circumstances, her choice was surprising.

"Um...please, another...me?"

Luo Mo raised an eyebrow and asked in a surprised tone.

Seele covered her face with her hands, unable to face the people present, "...Ugh, stop, stop talking, the other me is really about to come out."

She said shyly, which made many people cover their mouths and chuckle.

[I'll kill all of you who laugh at Seele sooner or later! And those who call her Seele!] Someone nearby stomped their feet in anger and raged in the consciousness space.

"I don't quite understand what you mean,"

Big Gretchen smiled and shook her head. "Looking at my other self in the game feels quite strange... It would probably be better if we weren't enemies."

"But... if this tradition is to continue, shouldn't Sister Hua be next?"

She gave a mischievous smile and waved the handle in her hand.

"Oh?" The Herrscher of Knowledge's eyes lit up. "I'll do it!"

She practically snatched the handle from Gretsch's hand, and of course, didn't forget to thank her.

1.21 Leave

I need to take a leave of absence and adjust my schedule.

It's getting later and later... Why is that?

Chapter 90 Snake Appears

"It's too late. You've just destroyed that painting with your own hands."

The gray-haired girl replied.

They watched each other warily. At this moment, everyone in Paradise had the same goal: to delay the current Herrscher of Corruption.

Therefore, she doesn't mind some simple conversations.

Compared to an unbearable confrontation, dialogue might be more likely to expend her energy.

She knew her reason for staying was ultimately nothing more than sacrifice, nothing special.

"I know……"

She looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, which had lost its original color under the erosion, just like... the heroes she had met along the way, who all showed more brilliant colors.

The Herrscher of Corruption is actually quite difficult to understand.

It wasn't the goal, the memory, or her inner thoughts... but rather that their actions differed from the principles she had learned.

"Could you describe it to me? I'm just... curious."

"..."

Hua fell silent for a moment, recalling the scene: on the black and gray painting, countless lines seemed poised to burst forth and bloom.

At first glance, it looked like a child's random scribbles, but it reminded her of the true meaning of the rising sun.

The so-called dawn light is the light emitted by the nearest star, the first ray of light before the night.

Because it arrives too early, it cannot illuminate anything... But when people see it, they will know that the stars have already filled the sky, and countless rays of light are about to arrive, sooner or later.

"...Describing it in words is beyond my ability. Besides, I'm afraid you are not the kind of viewer Gretsch is looking for."

Hua Jingjing said quietly.

"Really? Is that so..."

The Corruptor withdrew her gaze from the distance, scrutinizing Hua, the person now blocking her path. She chuckled twice, offering no rebuttal to the targeted nature of Hua's words.

"So, Hua... you must feel the same way I did when I deleted Kosmo, right?"
