Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

"Have you prepared for the consequences that will follow after you save her?"

Just as Xi'er had said, Su Qing'an had long anticipated this day.

However, when they finally meet each other, the entanglements and beliefs that existed in their hearts when they first took in Seele resurface.

He knew that the ending would be hopeless.

He understands what is right and what is wrong from the perspective of all humanity.

But as Su Qing'an pulled Xi'er out of the quantum state again, he realized a fact.

That is, whether it's right or wrong.

Entrusting her to such a dark future was something I couldn't do.

Since that's the case, the only option is to follow one's own will.

That is, regardless of right or wrong, black or white, continue on the path you have chosen.

Su Qing'an was not particularly angry about Xing Chen's remarks.

He was a calm person by nature and had anticipated what the other party might say from the very beginning.

As the essence of his soul grew stronger, to the point that he could even remember the aura of his soul through his emotions, Su Qing'an was able to judge many things by the aura of the other person's soul.

Everyone carries their own hell on their shoulders.

Perhaps this phrase best describes it: like a campfire gradually dying out in winter, with only a few embers struggling to keep the embers burning.

Honkai infection, human modification.

And this soul, gradually fading and withering away.

Perhaps, just as I initially imagined, many disagreements are simply about choosing different paths, and have nothing to do with pure good or evil.

But it's just a sigh; different perspectives determine everything.

From the other party's perspective, the details of Su Qing'an's abilities were enough to arouse suspicion, so he judged that this was a test.

To put it more realistically, one's own level of danger determines whether or not one is qualified to negotiate with the other party.

The boy still doesn't understand what Seele's special qualities really mean. As for the unknown forces on the other side, whether the weight he shows can bring both sides into a state of harmony and balance is an unknown.

But regardless of whether the other party is a subordinate agency of the Moth of Fire or a project team invested in by the United Nations itself, one will inevitably have to come into contact with these forces sooner or later.

Since that's the case, then so be it.

The delicate, ethereal sounds of the wind and the cutting edges enveloped my entire body as the full power of [Thousand Stars] was officially activated.

The artificial stigmata and [stigmata] overlapping and intertwined behind them faintly emitted a dim light.

It was light that seemed to bloom and then fade away in a fraction of a second.

With almost no warning in the eyes of the outside world, the boy silently drew a clear trajectory with his fingertips as they fell into the void.

It was as if a thin line suddenly appeared where the sea and sky met, displaying a strong sense of presence.

[Time Cut]

After Xing Chen's prosthetic eye successfully captured this scene, his mechanical right arm fell to the ground, the cut smooth as if sliced ​​open by a sword.

The man silently turned around, the fierce wind and snow behind him had already fallen silent.

That thin yet long line easily tore apart the celestial phenomena. From his perspective, he could clearly see that for a second, a white line seemed to appear between heaven and earth, obstructing the connection of all things.

Silently, the amusement park facilities in the distance suffered a purely artistic act of cutting and destruction. The roller coaster track a hundred meters away quietly broke off, and the huge area that extended outwards cut off the dinosaur museum and haunted castle even further away, as if an invisible offensive faster than sound was spreading in a more distant direction...

As the snow continued to fall gently, the rumbling roar drowned out the whispering wind, and the line vanished without a trace.

This is the [Time Slash] that Su Qing'an unleashed with all his might in this state, without using the sword blade.

Compared to the initial battle where he cleaved the living puppet, this sword strike is far superior to that one.

It only takes less than a second to control and release the artificial stigma, which is currently still within the stigma's damage tolerance range. This combat style of using such intervals to unleash sword energy with full force is also one of his backup plans.

Of course, if there weren't only two souls in this amusement park, Su Qing'an probably wouldn't have used such a dangerous move.

The boy deactivated all his buffs and glanced at Xing Chen, saying:

“Seele Voller is my family, and I will not hand her over to any power.”

Su Qing'an did not choose to leave him in this heavy snow forever. He needed a mouthpiece, a mouthpiece to express his side's will and attitude.

The fact that Xing Chen wasn't killed reflects the attitude the boy showed.

Su Qing'an will make a corresponding decision based on the response given by the other party at that time.

He wasn't too worried about the other party's attitude. As long as he stayed in Canghai City, simple violence would be completely ineffective against him.

Meanwhile, before the Third Collapse occurred, the world's social structure and the situation before the Collapse did not change significantly. Only after this global Collapse occurs will many things be forced to the surface.

But now, no matter how important the experimental project the other party talks about is, they are unlikely to risk tearing apart the surface peace and turning against us.

The destructive power of [Time Cut] is enough to declare a supernatural anomaly to the entire Canghai City. Under the current decision to strictly seal off the collapse, Su Qing'an's daily life can still proceed steadily.

However, after the collapse occurs, all the tragedies and conflicts will be fully unleashed.

When that time comes, where should I take Fu Hua and Seele?

The moth drawn to the flame seems to be the most appropriate answer.

If that's the case, the boy hopes that the experiment on Seele is not directly related to it, otherwise it could easily cause a lot of unexpected problems.

Holding the silent little girl, Su Qing'an ignored the man behind her and jumped down.

Seele's awkward silence was broken by this person's completely abnormal departure route.

The girl's small hands nervously clutched the boy's clothes. The cold wind was hidden by the scarf and coat, but her dark blue hair was still extremely messy, and her somewhat red eyes couldn't help but close.

But the boy landed smoothly and effortlessly as if by reflex, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Xier had long suspected that Su Qing'an was abnormal, the extent to which he was completely inhuman still surprised her.

She was initially upset when she saw Su Qing'an arrive, feeling that she hadn't achieved the original ending and had ultimately dragged Su Qing'an, who should have been unrelated to the matter, into it. However, the boy's response at that time acted like a shot of adrenaline, allowing her to stop dwelling on it.

Even though she still couldn't help feeling guilty and sad, Seele didn't intend to dwell on it any further now that things had come to this.

The sense of security and warmth she felt involuntarily in his arms gradually eased her mind.

Seele glanced at her coat, recalling her foolish act of leaving it in the smart car, and whispered two words to the boy:

"coat."

Su Qing'an paused slightly upon hearing this, somewhat puzzled.

Seele hesitated for a moment, as if she felt her voice was too soft. She blinked, gazed at the boy's Adam's apple, and repeated herself:

"Sister Xiaohua... the coat I picked out for Xier is still in that stupid smart car, Su Qing'an, could you please get it back for me?"

Su Qing'an's photographic memory allowed him to search for the corresponding image in his mind. He quickly recalled the tour bus that spun around the carousel, roughly understood the location, and then agreed:

"it is good."

After hearing this, the little girl remained silent for a while. She began to feel conflicted about her current situation. Being held so tightly made her feel somewhat ashamed. She tugged at the boy's clothes and said:

“Seele can walk by herself. Put me down.”

Su Qing'an glanced speechlessly at the still-bleeding wound on her forehead. Her pitiful face clearly showed signs of exhaustion; entering the quantum state and her previous encounter had left her in a very poor state.

This child will probably be unsteady on her feet and fall down, and even if she falls, given her personality, she will still try to be strong.

Therefore, the option to put her down will not appear until it is confirmed that her injuries are not serious.

He replied:

"No, I'm taking you to a private clinic later. Now you'd better behave."

Going to a private clinic is not as reliable as going to a regular hospital, but since Seele is also an unregistered person like herself before, this is a last resort.

Money makes the world go round, so Su Qing'an wasn't worried about not finding a good clinic.

He actually knows a lot about medical theory, but he's always a little worried about doing it himself since he's never practiced it before.

At times like these, Su Qing'an would inevitably recall Sato Yuno, who had once been a pseudo-Herrscher.

Yuno's powers are really convenient for dealing with minor injuries like this.

Upon hearing this, Xi'er buried her head in Su Qing'an's arms and complained in a muffled voice:

"Xier, don't go to the hospital..."

Su Qing'an secretly felt a headache coming on. The reason why Xi'er was unwilling to go to the hospital was undoubtedly because it might have an atmosphere similar to a laboratory. At the same time, the long-term blood draws and medications she had been given had made her instinctively wary of such places.

But not going is not an option. Although it may only look like a scrape on the surface, it could be an injury inside the body that is not visible. It is only right to get it checked.

If it were oneself or Hua, one could understand where the problem lay by observing oneself with the sword heart.

Unfortunately, Seele doesn't know the Tai Xu Sword Qi.

He had intended to teach her the Taixu Sword Qi, but since he was not sure and did not want to test whether Seele's constitution, which frequently entered other dimensions, would be affected by this, the boy maintained a cautious attitude.

Su Qing'an said expressionlessly:

"Only children are afraid of going to the hospital."

The little girl poked her head out and protested stubbornly:

"Seele is not a child."

The boy remained unmoved.

"Then let's go to the hospital."

Seele was speechless and could only pout and remain silent in a huff.

The scene, for a moment, seemed rather funny.

On the other side, Xing Chen reported all the details of the mission to his superiors, then entered the incubation chamber and went into hibernation again.

The next time he regains consciousness will likely be after the third Honkai outbreak.

……

……

Clearly, none of them were thinking about taking responsibility for the large amount of amusement park equipment that had been smashed by fingertips.
