I found a belt in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

Amidst the cries of various voices, there seemed to be a familiar yet unfamiliar melody. Yu Tuo barely opened his eyes; in the already blurred world, a purple dot of consciousness appeared, and then it ended.

28. The Light at the End

Otto had a very long dream. In the dream, he returned to his childhood, to the time when he first met her. Everything was yet to begin, everything was full of hope. The road ahead, though fraught with invisible thorns, was also strewn with flowers. Then he and she slowly grew up, experiencing everything just like in the story: light and darkness, justice and evil, nobility and ugliness, and...

The decision he had made. Only then did he realize that he could only watch from the sidelines as an observer of the past. Until he saw her resolve to abandon everything and pursue a new life with her, he could only watch helplessly as her soul returned to heaven, a long dream.

That's enough. He looked back at his sovereign, and now it was time to look to the present.

Struggling to open his heavy eyelids, Otto finally returned to reality. The warm air banished all the chill, and the familiar ceiling and decor gradually awakened his conscious mind.

"Father, you're finally awake." Otto turned his head slightly. The petite figure beside the bed held his hand tightly. Her dark blue eyes were filled with a subtle worry, though she looked slightly sculpted.

But her face gradually overlapped with the figure in his memory. Yet, she was ultimately not her. The opening of the gates also allowed him to see more. Besides Theresa, Bronya and Seele were also standing by the bed.

But Joachim wasn't here. She wasn't here either. Otto felt perfectly calm, because it was only natural. Because she was never supposed to be before him. Otto wanted to move his body more, but the slight movement of his limbs made him lower his head. Beneath the thin fabric of his clothes, there was a striking red robe that seemed to require him to shatter into pieces.

"[Has it finally come to this?]" He couldn't quite define his emotions, but he had no choice but to accept it. "Has Joachim left?" He sighed... Holding Otto's hand tightly, Theresa nodded slowly. Otto remained silent, seemingly preparing his words. "Father..." Theresa spoke first, "Next time, not tomorrow, tomorrow I'll take you to the old town, to find the best doctor, you'll definitely get better."

He got up, and we can still go see Joachim later...e. He slowly started to grope his body.

At that moment, even the most familiar objects had vanished, "Even the cross has been accidentally knocked off." "Father, wait for me! I'll go find it right now!" Theresa made as if to get up and leave. "Theresa, stay." As Otto's tone hardened slightly, his expression became increasingly pained, "I have something to tell you."

“I won’t leave…” Theresa quickly returned to the side, “Father, please don’t get agitated.”

Otto's expression softened again. "I often recall his gaze deepening, as if I were transported back to that time through his story." Theresa, Bronina, and Seele listened quietly as he recounted his sins, his confusion, his redemption, and his...

"Thank you, Theresa, and all the children living in the orphanage." Otto breathed a long sigh of relief. "It is because of your existence..."

That's why I can still see the purest warmth and beauty when I look back on the past. His eyes shimmered with a faint yet enduring light. With a clumsy sound, the wooden door was pushed open, and the little boy, holding a small cross in his hand, hesitated awkwardly for a moment before Otto...

A slightly surprised gaze gradually approached his bed.

Another purple figure remained hidden behind the door, leaning against the wall, silent, eyes tightly closed, lost in thought. "Hey, I'm talking to you," the system's voice echoed in the empty space in his heart. "Aren't you planning to go in too?" "What would I do in there?" Mo Dan muttered hesitantly. "I don't know him well, would I just die if I went in?" "Isn't this the last moment of his life?" the system said, slightly annoyed. "In his final moments, I think you can give him one last..."

The surprise. 1... Mo Mo didn't answer, but simply changed the position of his standing leg from left to right. [The person he wanted to see was long gone. 1 Mo Chong crossed his arms, tapping his fingers on the road surface, [Not to mention that he is currently...]

I need to go and reunite with her. 1 Mo Mo believes they will definitely meet again in that place. l He angrily said that he had obtained the system right away. The system immediately revealed its true colors. You don't want to enter the ancient world, right? Okay, there's so much snow outside, let's go and take the card out.

Let me build a snowman. It's a rare opportunity, don't transform and stand here as punishment, are you some kind of doorman?

...The system's sharp wit has never shown any signs of decline. [What are you thinking, Jiehuo? Do you think I don't know?] The system chuckled twice, "If you didn't mean that, you would have already transformed and gone in."

"Just a background character, aren't you?" 1 [Wait a little longer.] 1 Mo Mo finally couldn't stand the system's annoyance anymore, ["Fine, wait then."] 1 The system still didn't intend to let Gan Ti off the hook, ["What's the big deal? It's just a small, broken..."]

[I don't need to tell you what the consequences of being so eccentric are, right?][I'm your sister, created using my own personality. In other words, I'm your sister, meaning we share the same mother.] Xi Yue's words were meaningful.

"You know what I'm going to say, right?" Mo Mo was silent for a moment, then raised his hands in surrender. "You win." Mo Mo still couldn't bring himself to do something as underhanded as trading one for one.

But the system can. [You actually want to compete with me?] The system, quite perceptive in its understanding of voices, [Now you know, you can't possibly win—]

Mo Mo lowered his hand from the driver at his waist, and the system's voice immediately stopped.

"Idiot." Mo Mo glanced at his waist and gave his assessment indifferently. Then he took a deep breath, walked to the door, and placed his hand on the doorknob.

“Joachim, I believe in you. You will walk a path that is yours.” Otto’s heart was no longer filled with any lingering romantic feelings, though it might seem somewhat irresponsible.

E, 1 But the future of the orphanage rests on your shoulders. "Father Jie." Theresa gripped Father Jie's hand tightly, feeling the life force draining from Iwao's already exhausted body, her voice...

His voice choked with emotion. "I have fought the good fight... I have finished the race," Otto murmured haltingly.

"I have kept my faith." The wooden door was pushed open again at that moment. "2 Timothy 4:6?" the figure said softly, entering the room. "I think I'm not mistaken." Bronya seemed somewhat surprised by her arrival, but promptly swallowed her questions back into her eyes. Otto's throat bobbed, his gradually fading eyes flashing with countless different colors.

It eventually turned into a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. "It's the seventh section." Without any further reaction, he simply corrected him calmly.

"Really? I misremembered," she said, scratching her cheek somewhat awkwardly. "You're still the same..." he said wistfully, "Not a single detail has changed."

What a perfectly logical and beautiful misunderstanding. Let it remain a misunderstanding. "That's enough." Otto exhaled a breath of stale air, clutching a pendant to his chest. "It's perfect."

“It’s time,” she said abruptly. “I know,” he replied knowingly. “Gentle person.” He struggled to raise his hand, meeting the hand outstretched to him by that familiar figure; the pain that had been coursing through his body had vanished.

The warm glow had spread throughout his body. C Xie merely touched that familiar warmth, and his slightly raised hand fell limply.

He swatted out a lamp.

29. The Black Warrior in the Sea of ​​Fire

Mo Mo stood silently, gazing at Theresa and Joachim placing the flowers they held beneath the monument in the distance. Buried there were the remains of a "hero," whose soul had departed, returning to heaven to find the saint he longed for. At least it was fortunate; all the imperfections had ultimately been transformed into perfection. His breath formed a white mist before his eyes, and Mo Mo's heart was still filled with sorrow. Father Otto was now a thing of the past; he would likely never see such an Otto again. It was truly a complex mix of emotions. [Are you feeling sad for him?] Compared to Mo Mo, the system seemed less emotional. [Truly a sentimental partner of justice.] Without responding to this question, Mo Mo simply asked in his heart, [The first growth is understanding right and wrong in the world; the second is understanding that the world is not just about right and wrong; the third growth is choosing to uphold one's own principles even after understanding the former...]

"Why are you suddenly thinking about such philosophical questions again? You're really acting a bit strange today." Mo Mo's reaction seemed to surprise the system. "Has your brain been frozen?" "Truly, it's you." Mo Mo sighed helplessly and shook his head. "Heartless." "Then I think you haven't taken a single step." The system scoffed and replied, "Transcending all premises, not considering the boundaries of right and wrong, only..."

[I suspect you're implying I'm a brainless idiot.] Mo Mo felt the system was subtly criticizing him, and he seemed to have found evidence. [Not explicitly stated.] The system's admission was unequivocal and without a guilty conscience. Mo Mo sighed again, [I haven't become strange, it's just... If in the future, what I want to accomplish...]

When my long-held beliefs contradict my own, what choice will I make?

[You won't feel troubled when this problem actually happens, because by then you'll have made your choice.] The system is quite rarely positive.

I already answered him once, [so don't overthink it. Thinking isn't your strong suit, especially with questions like this that easily lead to getting stuck on minor details].

... ]

They really spared no effort in my work.

[Then let's keep this experience sealed in our hearts for now.] The world before Mo Mo's eyes had begun to change. He hoped that the day he envisioned would never come.

“Welcome back.” Bronya returned to the place she had visited twice before, where Joachim was already waiting for her. “Congratulations, you’ve passed another test.” Although he looked exactly like the previous Joachim, the feeling he gave off was completely different, as if from heaven and earth. “The anxiety in your eyes has lessened considerably.” He looked at Bronya and said, “It seems you’ve had a very valuable journey.” Bronya silently clutched the notebook with its butterfly-shaped border.

Everything that happened in the last world bubble was still vivid in his mind. And, just as vividly, it taught him a lesson. "This labyrinth is crumbling and shrinking; you are truly remarkable," Joachim exclaimed. "Therefore, I have decided to tell you the truth about what happened here."

P.S.: The following is a very thoughtful omission of many words.

"And now, you only have one obstacle left." After this long speech, Joachim continued, "Go, Bronya, I will open the final door for you."

"There's a path. If you can cross it again, the labyrinth will disappear, and I will guide you to the location of the Core of Reason." "Wait a minute," Bronya suddenly called out. "You just said that every life that enters here will be tested?" "Yes," Joachim nodded. "Is it a group for him too?"

"...Joachim fell silent. 'He possesses something special about him that I cannot fathom, and his method of entering this place is unlike anyone else's. The labyrinth cannot bind him; therefore, the danger he harbors is amplified infinitely.' But I don't think he's dangerous." Bronya chose to reject Joachim's viewpoint.

Although he concealed countless secrets, his true nature was undeniable. His actions yielded no benefit whatsoever; even his final act of mercy towards the priest received no reward.

"If he obtained this power from some noble person, it must say something." Whether he wants to destroy the world is not the same as whether he can or will destroy it. Joachim shook his head, but if you...

Choosing to trust him is perfectly acceptable. I'm just providing you with information from a neutral perspective, and even the accuracy of this information cannot be guaranteed.

Bronya wasn't sure if he could or wouldn't, but she felt that at least he didn't want to. But to attribute it to "trust" was too early. "Bronya doesn't trust him," Bronya shook her head, "but feels it's worth observing for now." "It's your decision." Joachim didn't intend to delve deeper into the topic. "It's time to go, Bronya," he said. "I understand."

The howling wind, the roar of cannons, and the agonizing screams formed the only symphony Bronya could hear in the darkness. "Sister Bronya... Sister Bronya..." A familiar, unpleasant voice rang out. "Wake up."

A biting wind howled endlessly across the frigid snowfield, carrying a chilling atmosphere beneath the overcast sky. "Looks like you're alright, Bronya." Suddenly, a familiar figure darted into Bronya's line of sight. The close-fitting armor almost blended into the background. The figure leaned close and spoke, "Suddenly collapsing into the snow and passing out, that was terrifying! Kiana?" A look of astonishment gradually appeared in Bronya's eyes. "What's wrong? Why do you look at me like that?" Kiana scratched her head in confusion. "Did you really hurt your head? Hehe, now you won't be able to get good grades anymore."

The familiar tone of voice came alive before Bronya's eyes, but the questions that welled up in her heart were fleeting. Clearly, this was just a bubble world. And while the person before her was identical to those in her memory, she wasn't the Kiana she knew. The real Kiana should be...

Bronya shook her head, not thinking deeply. But if the idiot Kiana was acting alongside her in this world, then wouldn't that mean...? "Kiana, what nonsense are you talking about?" Another familiar voice drew Bronya's attention, "We're on a mission right now, no slacking off." [Sure enough!] Bronya thought to herself.

Even in the world of Pokémon, the starter Pokémon are still the same starter Pokémon. [Wait, that idiot Kiana is wearing the Domain Set White Comet, and Mei is wearing the Pulse Set Crimson, doesn't that mean—] Bronya's gaze shifted slightly downwards, the familiar bright yellow filling her vision. Drive Set Yamabuki!! Where's my Augment Core? I just got it here with great difficulty, where's it?

No, that's not the time to focus on such trivial details. Bronya, clearing her mind of these chaotic thoughts and regaining her composure, glanced around.

Although it was also a vast, silvery-white snowfield, it gave off a completely different feeling from the previous world bubble. [Where exactly is this?] And even though Seele was right here, Kiana and Mei didn't seem to find her strange at all. It was as if she had completely lost her presence. Noticing Bronya's gaze, Seele didn't speak, but simply tightened her grip on Bronya's hand and shook her head. Not only that, but the guy who had been inseparable from her before was also nowhere to be seen. "Seele, where is that guy?" Bronya asked in a voice only the two of them could hear. "Seele doesn't know either." Seele shook her head and answered softly, "This time Seele didn't find Teacher Momo. My intuition tells me that he won't 'give up easily,' maybe he's somewhere in this world bubble right now, just choosing not to interact with me, whether intentionally or unintentionally."

However, it didn't matter whether he was there or not, because this was a test for themselves. "Everyone, hurry up and check your equipment. We're about to launch the final assault on the Herrscher of the Void." Mei's words indirectly answered Bronya's earlier question. "After absorbing the energy from the Yongkai Reactor, the Herrscher of the Void should have already summoned the Yongkai Beast army. Get ready, they might be here soon."

[The Herrscher of the Void?] Bronya almost doubted her ears. [Snowfield, the Herrscher of the Void... Could this be Siberia during the Second Crusade?] With countless pieces of knowledge stored in her mind, Bronya instantly retrieved the information she needed. But she only felt a sense of absurdity. Because in 2000, the year the Second Crusade occurred, she hadn't even been born yet, and Mei and Kiana were just young children. "Wow, World Bubble..." "How strange..." Mei, as the leader, seemed somewhat puzzled. "According to the analysis based on the specific intelligence feedback, the Herrscher of the Void should have summoned an army of horned monsters to fight us to the death. But why haven't we found a single enemy after so long?"

The planned overwhelming horned monsters have nowhere to be seen, leading one to suspect that the Herrscher of the Void has used some means to launch a sneak attack.

Just then, dozens of mechs descended from the sky without warning, followed by a man with a serious expression. "[Walter Yang.]" Bronya recognized him immediately. "[Has he come of age and become the leader of Anti-Entropy in this world? But something feels different from what I remember.]" "He's from Anti-Entropy!" Mei grabbed her weapon, assuming a fighting stance. "Everyone, be careful!"

I came here personally precisely to completely eliminate it, so I hope you won't waste your fighting power here.

“We can’t believe your words.” Being in a completely opposing position, Mei wasn’t so easily convinced by Welt. “Whether you believe it or not is your business.” Welt stood with his hands behind his back, his cold gaze sweeping across each Valkyrie’s face. “But don’t get in my way.”

After saying that, dozens of mechs began to move in mid-air.

"What's going on?" Kiana scratched her head in exasperation. "Mei, what should we do now? That arrogant old man seems really powerful." He's also the leader of Anti-Entropy, and the first Herrscher, Welt Yang. Mei sighed. "Let's follow him. He's right, our greatest enemy right now is the Herrscher of the Void." "What? A Herrscher?" Kiana was even more confused. "But aren't Herrschers our enemies? Wait, wait, Mei, don't walk so fast! Answer a few more questions for me!"

Bronya gave Kiana a meaningful look, then took Seele's hand and followed Mei's departing steps. The Valkyrie squad advanced behind the Anti-Entropy mech force, but what was increasingly strange was that despite being close to the location of the Herrscher of the Void as stated in the intelligence, there wasn't a single enemy. Even the Herrscher of the Void's horn energy had completely disappeared. "Could it be that the Herrscher of the Void is afraid and has run away?" Kiana seemed completely unfazed. "What a coward. If you've got the guts, then fight us to the death."

“Things can’t be that simple.” Mei’s brows furrowed. “Bronya, have you noticed anything wrong?” “Hmm.” Bronya nodded, replying calmly. The surrounding temperature… was slowly rising. “Everyone, don’t let your guard down,” Mei cautioned. “Be careful.” After they crossed a canyon and arrived at the plain where the Herrscher of the Void and her army were located, they finally understood the cause of those anomalies. “W-what a huge fire!” Kiana’s eyes widened, uttering the same exclamation as the others in utter surprise.

The vast ice plain had now turned into a sea of ​​fire, the towering flames seemingly illuminating the gloomy sky. "No, it's not just fire," Bronya's sharp eyes immediately caught the key point, "There are also the corpses of Honkai Beasts! Countless horned Honkai Beast corpses were burning in the raging inferno, their gruesome appearance sending a chill down one's spine even amidst the scorching heat. In the distance, a colossal structure that at first glance appeared to be an icy hill was, upon closer inspection, also a gigantic horned Honkai Beast. But now, it too had lost..."

A chilling battle must have taken place on this battlefield. The corpses of horned beasts, almost covering the entire plain, silently testified to this fact. "How is this possible?" Kiana stared in disbelief at everything before her. "Who did this? Could it be the Herrscher of the Void?" Impossible. These were all subordinates of the Herrscher of the Void. She couldn't possibly act so irrationally at this critical moment. Moreover, even the Herrscher of the Void's energy reflexes had vanished. Perhaps even she had already... But who could possibly be qualified to create this hellish scene? Bronya looked at Welt floating in the sky. He was also staring at the raging sea of ​​fire, his eyes even colder than hers, as if he were observing something. Looking closer, Bronya saw a black dot standing out starkly amidst the flickering flames, like a person standing motionless in that sea of ​​death. "Someone's in there!" Bronya shouted, pointing at the black dot. "Someone? How... there really is someone!" Kiana rubbed her eyes. "Could it be that he did all this?"

The sound of the flames couldn't drown out Kiana's undisguised voice. The sea of ​​fire, as if alive, gradually shrank after hearing Kiana's words, finally extinguishing completely, revealing the scene before everyone's eyes. The curtain of flames was removed, and a scene many times more horrific than before was etched onto everyone's retinas. Layer upon layer of densely packed, mangled corpses covered the entire plain. It wasn't hard to imagine what a nightmare it would have been if they were still alive, but now…

They were all dead. - Only one remained. Only a figure, seemingly clad in black armor, stood amidst the sea of ​​blood on Mount P.

Then he turned around.

30. Master Mo angrily rebukes King Va II, and the Void Law battles again in the next round.

A figure stood silently in the scorching sea of ​​fire, yet the flames around him seemed to possess a kind of sentience, leaving him a space where not even a spark could touch his blackened armor. Only the scorching sound of the flames echoed incessantly, forming an incredibly monotonous symphony, but compared to the raging torrents of sound moments before, it seemed remarkably peaceful and melodious. Those who had roared at him had now become fuel, providing the foundation for the feast of these jubilant fire spirits. Not a single survivor remained; all turned into corpses. This horrific scene was entirely his doing, reweaving a nightmare into another dreamscape no less magnificent than the former. [I didn't expect you to actually do this.] The system's voice was the first sound to break the silence. [That's quite a grand gesture.] [We can't just let these guys run rampant.] Mo Mo's reply sounded somewhat weary to the system. [Although it's just a world bubble, it's not something to be played with indefinitely.] [Who's talking about these small fry? You know perfectly well what I'm referring to.]

However, his actions were surprisingly swift and decisive, which could be considered a form of growth. He annihilated the arrogant army of Yongkai Beasts in one fell swoop, shot down the Yongkai Dragon soaring through the sky, and even the invincible Herrscher of the Void was defeated by him.

It became a ripple in the long river of history, eventually disappearing without a trace. [I thought you would choose another method, or rather, consider that...]

"Of course I have no reason to show mercy." Mo Mo replied matter-of-factly, "Besides... you don't know why I did what I did back then, I just wanted to grasp at the last sliver of possibility to save..."

Faced with an irreconcilable conflict of positions, there is no third possibility other than a life-or-death struggle. Therefore, decisively choosing to completely eliminate the unpredictable threat is only natural. [So I will do this, and I can only do this.] [To this, I can only say that it is an absolutely correct judgment, Mo Zai. 1 The system simply agrees with Mo Mo's actions. [Don't worry, I won't secretly tell Xi Xiao Niang.]

Xishan wasn't some unreasonable child; she wouldn't make unreasonable demands over something like this. Mo Mo believed that even if she knew, she would stand firmly on his side without hesitation.

[Alright, alright, that's enough. The person you're waiting for has arrived. Aren't you tired of standing here as punishment for so long? 1 In the system's broad field of vision, the mecha unit and the Valkyrie squad appeared. [The moment of silence is over. Open your eyes wide—I sense these people are up to no good.]

A multitude of gazes converged, landing on the sole survivor amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood. Fear, vigilance, curiosity, and many other indescribable emotions mingled, but one thing was undeniable: he had become the sole focus of attention. The sudden disappearance of the raging fire that had seemingly consumed all the monsters' corpses along with the entire snowfield was obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence; it was clearly related to him. As the last flame extinguished, he slowly turned around under everyone's gaze. With that turn, his black armor vanished in a burst of light, revealing his magnificent purple attire and his true face. Upon seeing that familiar figure, Bronya's pupils instantly contracted.

[Karen Kaslana? No, that's not right!] Her expression instantly turned extremely serious. [It's him!] She had thought that during this experiment, he would have come into contact with her, but unexpectedly...

"It's Teacher Mo Mo..." Xi'er recognized him more directly, but only murmured softly, her petite body gradually trembling.

From a gentle, approachable older brother and mentor to such a terrifying figure, Seele was momentarily overwhelmed by the contrast. Sensing the girl's fear, Bronya pulled her behind her and reassured her, "Seele, don't be afraid. Bronya is here."

"Seele won't be afraid. No matter what difficulties we encounter, Seele won't be afraid." Seele encouraged herself, muttering to herself, "The best way to eliminate fear..."

The best way to face and eliminate fear is to face fear, face fear, face fear! You have to face your fear! Go for it!

"Seele?" Seele's series of strange reactions frightened Bronnie. She not only repeated the same words but also raised her hand and made strange gestures.

Could she be so frightened that her mind is starting to wander? "It's okay, Bronya," Seele reassured herself. She took a deep breath, the fear on her face lessening somewhat. "This is Teacher Momo."

"Mine." "Oh, never mind then." Bronya's expression instantly cooled, and she replied indifferently, shifting her gaze back to Mo Mo, but her previously calm gaze had become sharper. "Who is that person?" Kiana pointed at Mo Mo amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood and asked, "Did he do all of this? [Does Kiana from this world not even recognize her own ancestors?] Bronya glanced at Kiana warily, thinking to herself. But in this situation, her question was tantamount to asking a question she already knew the answer to; even if it wasn't her doing, it was definitely related to her. While everyone was watching Mo Mo, his gaze also swept across everyone's faces, only lingering slightly longer on Bronya and Seele.
