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

It... will once again become a situation where it can be wiped out at any time.

The sacrifices of them and other heroes were not for its power; from the very beginning, its power was something that all heroes could not resist.

But they couldn't let it get any closer to Alicia.

Only by burning away all the memories upon which the heroes are built, and reducing their own data to ashes, can the other party be unable to get close to Alicia's appearance, and even regress to something.

Now, as the plan progresses step by step, the path to the outside world, the opportunity to stop Mei, and the means to seize the program are all being explored.

All the Heralds of Erosion have been lost.

In the last moment before disappearing in China, the Corruptor still tried to corrupt her... but it was too late, and she completely dissipated into the air.

Thus, of the thirteen who failed to become heroes in the Land of the Dead, only one remains.

The title "Thirteen Heroes Who Chase Fire" will soon become history.

Only Hua's last message before burning everything remained.

"In the past, we were indeed the losers."

"But what about the future..."

"Herrscher of Corruption, that duel that allowed us to become pioneers..."

"Now is the time to begin."

The book of the decisive battle has only just been written.

Meanwhile, on the homepage, the fallen heroes, as if to coordinate their actions, were now displayed as broken pieces.

Three in a row—Aponia, Su, and Hua—were all destroyed.

The space that originally held thirteen cards is now empty except for Eden, who still retains her colors, making it utterly desolate.

...

In the hall,

"Dead...all dead..."

Pado said in a daze, almost forgetting that there was only a few heroes left at this moment, without the reminder of the final scene.

The thirteen heroes vanished like smoke, and everything disappeared with them.

For some reason, she felt a pang of sadness as she looked at the blank page.

It used to be so full, but now, looking at it, I'm overwhelmed with sadness.

“Survival…civilization…Hua said it so well, because humans have never been alone, which is why I like humans so much.”

Joy appeared in Alicia's eyes.

She carefully pondered Hua's words. To be honest, they sounded more like something Fu Hua would say 50,000 years later, but this line resonated with her deeply.

Civilization is so brilliant, and she cherishes those kinds of people, so dazzling and radiant, and thus she yearns for them.

What Kevin carried on his shoulders, and on the shoulders of every hero, was the hope of an entire civilization from the previous era, not the survival of any individual.

but……

Bronya seemed to recall someone saying that in the end, four heroes would survive?

Bronya said softly, her eyes fixed on Luo Mo's location.

If it weren't for the fact that only one non-white Yingjie was left on the final page, she would have almost forgotten about this matter.

"Hmm? Boss, what do you mean? Paradise Ice Cream? The Heroic Serial Murders?"

She narrowed her eyes; the effects of the clothing card still attached to her body added to her intimidating aura.

"...What do you mean by how to say it? I'll say it while I'm sitting down. It's not over yet, what's the rush?"

Luo Mo answered casually.

Anyway, he didn't say which "final" he meant.

Chapter 97 Let's go welcome back Alicia!

Luo Mo's words left Alicia speechless. She hadn't expected him to insist that four Yingjie had survived.

Wake up! Now there's only Eden!

But... never mind, looking at the other person's calm and composed expression, she decided to let it go.

She couldn't very well break her promise to the other party.

"The class monitor too..." Kiana's eyes were filled with tears as she watched the heroes leave one by one.

They all fought the Herrscher of Corruption to the very end, displaying their utmost pride.

The weight of the world and civilization was clearly displayed before her at this moment; she had never experienced it, but she was willing to understand it.

That wasn't faked; it was the trace of their battles.

The long-dormant sacred mark within her body emanated a glimmer of vitality, resonating with her violently trembling heart.

She didn't know exactly what she had understood, but she knew she needed strength.

"Memories of an ancient relic from 50,000 years ago... How come they don't seem to have changed much from the ancient relic of today?"

"The Law of Knowledge muttered to herself, 'The fact that I just handed over the operating authority to the old antique simply proves my mistake and impatience. Fortunately, the old antique didn't continue to lecture me.'"

However, judging from her expression, she seemed to be deep in thought, especially for someone as taciturn as Hua Youshen, the memory body.

"Hua hasn't changed... I guess that's a good thing. She's stayed true to her original aspirations despite the passage of time, grown in many ways, and come to understand the meaning of battle... That's good, isn't it?"

Alicia vindicates her comrades.

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge was someone she was also very interested in, Fu Hua was clearly closer to her.

"I agree with what you said to some extent, but in all aspects..."

The Lawbringer seemed troubled, drawing out his words with ill intent as he looked at Fu Hua on the screen, then secretly glanced at Fu Hua's chest before stopping.

She thought she had done it very discreetly, but didn't she see that Alicia was also completely confused?

Seeing this, Luo Mo was startled. Reacting quickly, he immediately straightened his posture and pretended not to hear. This time, the death had nothing to do with him.

However, from this perspective, the results in terms of physical development are indeed dismal.

Luo Mo had a vague idea in his mind and greatly appreciated the idea of ​​the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

He deeply felt that the other person had always harbored a kind of resentment towards his mother—she might not care, but she couldn't live without her! Especially after Bronya became an overnight sensation with her clothing cards.

"Uh, what are you talking about, Xiaoshi?" Alicia asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"N-nothing, what could it be... By the way, Alicia, it's your turn for the story now. Want to try it yourself?"

The one who knew the law touched his nose and replied with a wandering gaze.

"Me?... How about Kiana? Mei and I both did the voice acting, so we can more or less guess the dialogue. Kiana must be curious about Mei's reaction, right?"

Alicia's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile.

Luo Mo gasped, his mind filled with only one thought—to kill someone by destroying their spirit.

He never intended to persecute Chongchong like this, yet you did such a heinous thing to Chongchong, really... well done!

Kiana took it, but soon regretted her decision.

...

The heroes have staked everything on this.

Simply because of his trust in Alicia.

Whether it succeeds or fails, it will naturally be determined in this most important place.

Using the spiral imprint left by Velvet, Sue wholeheartedly performed an operation called SO-1129 on Mei—an operation to create a memory, which, according to Alicia, was a wonderful experience of eating peanuts with your eyes while riding a roller coaster.

As long as you firmly believe this, she has never left.

Using memories to pave the way to Alicia, Mei will... welcome Alicia back to her memory space.

The three mysteries of Velvet—an absolutely safe place in Paradise. First, the frozen space created for Sakura to delay the arrival of the erosion; second, the place within the Herrscher of Erosion where Velvet herself deleted any backdoors she left behind.

The last place... is Raiden Mei's mind, the only place that the Herrscher of Erosion failed to invade.

The first level only delays the suffering, the second level is for rebirth after death, and the third level is in a paradise, yet does not belong to a paradise.

After going around in circles, I'm back to the starting point.

All the problems come back to Alicia. You see, she is always the beginning of everything, and also the end of everything.

The world began in white.

An endless expanse of white enveloped Mei, leading her to a realm that was neither truly existent nor entirely nonexistent.

Scattered thoughts drifted in the void, converging into a path with neither beginning nor end.

Mei gradually woke up on this pure white road.

She was already inside her memories, a... very strange experience. She understood somewhat why Alicia had made that analogy; indeed, it was quite apt.

It was a rare instance where the other person used a metaphor that made her feel a sense of agreement.

My head was still heavy, but my thoughts were floating on clouds. Every step felt like walking on cotton, sometimes light, sometimes heavy.

But she did not forget her purpose in coming here—to welcome back Alicia.

She wanted to find every moment she had spent with her here, to depict it with memories, to patch it up with longing, until she filled this white cloth with the colors of a young girl.

To complete the story of that beautiful, flower-like girl, to see her smile again, and to make her fulfill her promise.

So she took a step.

So, the door to memory appeared before us, with towering white walls and a golden gatehouse, adorned with the inscription of a spiral tower, all around as pure and immaculate as an unpainted white cloth.

She placed her hand on the door, reminiscing about the memories she shared with him behind it, longing for every little detail of the past.

Then, she pushed open the door.

Unbeknownst to her, she had already experienced so much in this paradise.

A mix of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness flashed through her mind, each scene a unique and indelible memory she had experienced and remembered.
