Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Having experienced the terror of the Honkai and being aware of their own existence, the high-ranking officials, who were no different from ordinary people in front of the Herrschers, could no longer restrain themselves and have openly bestowed upon them the highest level of treatment, like royalty.

The only requirement is to manufacture weapons and defensive measures to ensure human civilization and their lives.

They've gone to great lengths for this; human civilization, which has always been plagued by internal strife and prides itself on being the leader of all beings, has finally been dealt a painful blow.

At the cost of hundreds of millions of lives.

But what's the point now?

Own……

In the end, it was all empty.

Jiangcheng stopped reminiscing and stopped dwelling on the beautiful memories that would cause her pain.

There's not enough room for that kind of luxury right now.

He walked alone to his work area.

Reaching out to open the virtual screen, and referring to the notes left by Velvi, he tried his best to translate the weapon formulas, despite the difficult-to-understand gray text.

This was the last legacy left by the girl, and the only thing she could do.

"Cough cough cough-"

Jiang Cheng covered his lips with his hand, and traces of blood trickled from between his fingers.

That was a mournful cry coming from the body.

Severely corroded by Honkai energy, barely managing to maintain life, and still not out of danger, his body is insufficient for performing massive mental tasks.

But the boy didn't care at all.

He doesn't consider himself a love-struck person, but he wonders, when all the precious things in life are lost, does life still have any meaning?

Life is made up of countless things. If we lose what fills our hearts, won't our hearts naturally become empty?

Perhaps life doesn't have to lose all its luster like this.

Perhaps there are still things worth cherishing and protecting.

A certain fairy-like girl still holds a place in my memory.

As the only remaining family member.

The first one to hold a place in my heart is Alicia.

But how could that girl care?

He had spent eighteen years with Alicia almost inseparable, yet he had never had a single day alone with the girl, and could only ever be a companion and a lonely observer.

—And now?

The gift he and Velvet prepared for the girl is still preserved beneath the ruins of the Spiral Workshop, the old base of the Firemoth, untouched and unnoticed.

For such a long time, Alicia never had any communication with him.

If you insist on making a phone call, or even just sending a text message, or even if you ask someone else to say a few words, that gift won't end up being buried until no one else claims it.

and so……

The only answer is...

Your life has lost all other light; it's so dark that even the night seems bright.

【--No.】

-

"--No."

Not far from the villa, the flawless girl stood there, frozen in place, not even reacting when the pink and blue camera in her hand fell to the ground.

How can a person still have the will to live after losing everything?

No matter how strong a person is, they still need something to hold onto and some principles to sustain their life.

It's not just the body that determines one's thoughts.

The mind can also determine the physical state. When a ship loses its anchor, no matter how magnificent the ship is, it will eventually drift on the sea and be smashed by the giant waves.

very dangerous.

The boy's condition is dangerous.

This requires no psychological knowledge; one can sense the extreme self-destruction from the sight of someone who has lost all attachment to the world.

Someone has to save them.

Someone has to step in.

We can't let the boy continue like this.

only……

Does she really have the qualifications to do anything?

It seems to be a cruel joke of fate. I had already made up my mind that after defeating the Lawyer, I would go to see Jiang Cheng. No matter what the outcome, I had to reveal my feelings and personally atone for my sins.

But now she has abandoned the person she loved most in her youth.

How can someone who clearly has a chance but refuses to even turn back or try, be qualified to meet the boy?

—Alicia watched everything with sadness.

—Alicia could only watch all this with sadness.

She can only be this incompetent, this useless, this despicable, this foolish, just like the troublemaking second female lead in those Chinese online novels.

She's spoiled and willful, knows nothing, and only adds to the conflict between the male and female leads.

The male and female protagonists, who should have been embracing a wonderful life and living happily together, were forced to separate and face a series of unfortunate hardships.

but……

Is this all we can do?

Just like before, just like countless times before when I was powerless, I ran away from everything, and could only watch helplessly as the boy walked toward his only destined death.

The girl used to love fairy tale books, which contained many beautiful stories: the kind mermaid ascended to heaven, the wicked big bad wolf was killed by the brave hunter, and the beautiful Snow White and the prince lived happily ever after.

These plays are truly beautiful and happy stories, symbolizing human courage, generosity, justice, loyalty, and hard work...

The girls still like it, but they no longer like all the characters in the book equally. For the first time, they have someone they dislike in the book.

--Princess.

64. Alicia: It's totally worth it, even if it means giving up my life!

Why in this type of story?

It's often the prince who does this and that... to fight the demon king, to slay the dragon, to save the city from harm, and to drive away the monsters that hurt the people.

—Wouldn't the princess try her best?

—Is there nothing a princess can do?

—Only let the prince work hard.

—They just watch everything.

As a princess, shouldn't you try your best?

The girl never saw the princess take any action to change the tragedy with her own hands, whether it was the princess escaping from the castle, the princess secretly acting as an inside agent for the prince, or the princess fighting her way through the demon king's castle.

The girl had never seen it in fairy tales.

It was as if all everyone needed was for the princess to sit there, with perfect and gentle posture.

Is it...

Is it enough for everyone to just want the princess to be chased?

As a perfect girl, she can be accepted by others no matter what she does; she just needs to wait to be pursued and chased by a prince.

But is it possible that...?

What if the prince leaves?

In classic tales, the prince, as the protagonist, always manages to escape danger, overcome perilous situations, and ultimately reach his ideal lover.

Sacrifice or anything like that is impossible to actually happen.

Reality is not a story.

The girl did not see this outcome.

There was a man who saw her as his ideal princess, and she believed that man was the prince she was rightfully entitled to be. Just like the characters in the story, she showed a beautiful and perfect smile, waiting for the prince to come and save her.

Instead of taking action or embracing, they went about their own business, doing things they thought were meaningless, ignoring the boy.

Love should be mutual, it should be a two-way street, but it's just one person walking away, one person acting on their own assumptions.

But they're still indulging in wishful thinking...

Waiting to live a happy and joyful life with the prince.

—The prince left halfway through.

The girl's beloved left her, and she struggled and endured many hardships. She gave her all and her will to pursue the princess.

But I didn't even stand by and watch, I didn't even glance at them, I didn't even...

They headed in the exact opposite direction from the prince.

Even after the prince leaves in utter disappointment, the princess will still choose to run away out of cowardice and fear, to the point that she dares not see the prince one last time.

There might have been even the slightest chance back then.
