Watch Honkai Impact 3rd, and let fan creations save the world!

"There is no need to compare them; the two are fundamentally different."

"What you chose is called survival, but what humanity chose..."

"...is called civilization."

"Since this will become their choice, then..."

Hua took out the Feathered Dust, as if seeing an old friend, but also with the mindset of burning everything to the ground.

[The Herald of Knowledge]: "I didn't expect you, old relic, to be so eloquent. Not bad, not bad!"

[Bronya Rand]: "Civilization is advancing steadily, just as Hua said, and the behavior of the Heralds of Erosion is no different from that of wild beasts."

[Silver Wolf]: 'The Herrscher of Corruption's behavior is like a spoiled child, insisting on proving herself right.'

[Silver Wolf]: "Then his own theory crumbled at the slightest touch, just like a pufferfish."

That's far too ambitious.

Having taken Hua's full-force attack, the corrosive figure flickered: "You... wanted to do this a long time ago?"

"It was just inspired by Kosmo and Gretchen."

"But you should also know that I... cannot be completely eliminated."

"You make the decision, you exert all your strength, and in the end, there is only one thing you can erase—"

"yourself."

Hua couldn't refute what the Herrscher of Corruption said, but she had already achieved her goal:

"However... Herrscher of Corruption, now... you should have noticed it too."

"You have already..."

"...It can no longer be maintained."

"...!?"

After Hua reminded it, Erosion realized that it had revealed its true form, a very unique little thing.

"The Lawbringer, this... is our true purpose."

[Star]: "That's so satisfying! You've ripped the suits off the ground!"

[Theresa]: "The Herrscher of Erosion looks...quite unique."

[Su Chang]: "This little peculiar thing is really something."

[Silver Wolf]: "Hilarious! All that effort to create the Alicia suit, and now the cosplay progress is just wiped out!"

【Bronya Zaychek】: "It's almost impossible for the Herrscher of Erosion to control 666 in the short term. Now it's up to Mei-neechan to decide."

Kiana: "Go Mei, future Mei!!"

"If I cannot bring her back to life..."

"That Herrscher of Thunder... how was she able to do that?"

"As long as that program cannot be started, I... will still be the victor."

Hua frankly admitted that he wasn't sure either, but—

Hua was willing to believe her.

"Because... unlike you, she does more than just possess."

"That's what she has."

"Now, you have lost everything: the path to the outside world, the chance to stop Mei, and the means to seize the program."

"And the changes Alicia brought to Mei, the marks she left on her... that is the key to her being able to defeat you."

"Better than me?"

The Herald of Corruption scoffed: "That... is not necessarily true."

As she had done to other heroes in the past, she began to spread and expand. Repeating this process over and over, she was still able to weave a form from limited data.

At the same time, she decided to take the last chance to make the other person a part of her before she completely burned out.

“I will not allow you to die… I will let you live to witness my victory. And then… acknowledge that there is indeed a difference between us.”

"Too late."

There were no signs of erosion on her body.

As her powers take effect, all her data... will finally disappear completely at this moment.

In this paradise of the past, built from their memories, of the thirteen who failed to become heroes, now... only one remains.

And this ending, which symbolizes it from any perspective, is the final message left by the warrior who, as a boundary marker, wrote the last period for herself—

"In that sense, we are indeed."

"But regarding..."

"Herrscher of Corruption, the duel that made us who we are..."

"Now is the beginning..."

[Star]: "It's true that Hua's self-ignition speed is greater than the speed of the Herrscher of Corruption's corruption. In any case, this is a bit too hellish."

[March 7th]: "Now all our hopes are on Raiden Mei, Mei, please don't let me down!"

Kiana: "This time, the triple like is a bit too much!"

[Silver Wolf]: "One-click triple... That's so apt. I thought I could break two at once last time, but I didn't expect there to be another expert."

[Theresa]: "Now, only Eden remains among the heroes. I hope the erosion will slowly piece together the image of Ellie again."

【Bengtie·Xier】: "The current situation can indeed be described as a race against time."

Every moment spent together is depicted with memories and embellished with longing, until this piece is filled with the colors of a young girl.

Ultimately, a thing that had disappeared was recreated.

In Mei's repeated recollections, she arrived at a huge chocolate-colored door, the only color in this pure white space.

"Then... do you remember who I am?"

"Keep silent."

"Miss Pink Fairy."

The pink-haired girl was sitting in the lobby of Paradise. This was Mei's first encounter with the girl, whom she initially thought was a bad woman.

It's a scene that Mei will never forget in her life.

"Not at all!"

"What's that nickname you gave me? So you're such a frivolous person?"

Mei smiled nostalgically, "Judging from your later performance, you clearly really liked this, didn't you?"

"...Just as I saw, she was indeed a beautiful young woman whose name suited her perfectly."

"And her heart is as pure as her name."

Mei then moves on to the next memory, which is the first battle between Alicia and Mei, and also the first time Mei learns of the strength of the Heroes.

"Now it seems that that battle didn't even count. For you, it really was just a battle."

"Isn't this going a bit too far?"

"Oh right, I didn't have time to answer then—the attack style really suits you. However, I'd also like to see you use other weapons."

In her recollection, Mei poured out all the words she hadn't spoken before, filled with nostalgia and joy at her return to the world.

[Star]: "Hiss... Mei's tone... it's like a husband reminiscing about his wife~"

[Fireworks]: "Little gray hair~ Why are you speaking such blunt truths? Kiana is right there~"

Kiana: "You...you guys..."

[Black Swan]: "At this rate, we're getting closer to bringing Alicia back!"

[March 7]: "Is Mei's memory really enough? Airi's experiences are not limited to what she experienced with Mei."

[Otto]: "Perhaps, but isn't there another hero here? As Eden, who is closer to Alicia, her memories are much more abundant."

Eden: "I'm here, Ellie will definitely come back."

[Black Swan]: "Unlike Mei, Eden, as a memory entity, doing this... means the disappearance of Eden."

………………

I really don't have time today, I'll make it up tomorrow. I still want to have perfect attendance.

Since my time today is so short, let me just vent in the author's comments section.

Chapter 289 Resurrect! My... Alicia!

(The previous chapter has been updated. If you can't see it, just refresh the page.)

[Star]: "What a beautiful memory..."

[Alicia]: "I didn't expect Mei to think of me like that. I feel a little shy. Next time, you should say it in front of me, okay?"

[Raiden Mei]: "This isn't me... no, that's not the current me."

Kiana: "Mei~ Even if I disappear from this world, Mei, you must remember me!"

[Raiden Mei]: 'No, Kiana, that won't happen.'

[Pera]: "As expected of Sprout 1!"

[Star]: "It's clearly Qi Yi who's real!"

[Silver Wolf]: "Come, return, Alicia!"

"Could it be equivalent to this sea of ​​flowers?"

"She always remembered everything that Paradise left behind..."

"Therefore, she shouldn't disappear from the memories of Paradise either—"

Alicia's smile as she turned back appeared before Mei's eyes. That was the last time Mei saw Alicia, and it was at that time that she left behind that unfulfilled promise with Alicia.

"I think Mei is now able to face things calmly."

"You promised to tell me everything, and all of it..."

“Now, I stand before you. So, respond to me, Alicia…”

"...just like you've always done."

The unchanging space of memory seemed to be suddenly stirred by a breeze, just like the night before the girl disappeared.

Everything was so similar to what I remembered, as if everything here was preparing for the girl's return.

Mei composed herself and pushed open the door that was just inches away from the girl—

But there was nothing behind the door.

"……how come?"

Mei couldn't believe it; the light had vanished.

All that remained in my sight was emptiness. The girl's laughter seemed to drift away, yet I could not piece together a complete picture.

"...Is my memory fading?"

"Or is it because... I don't know everything about her yet...?"

At the same time, a strange, stinging pain began to spread. The sensation originated deep within my brain and wouldn't go away—

"Hmm...no!"

"This is... the Herrscher of Erosion..."

Kiana: "Damn it! Mei was about to succeed, but why did the damned Herrscher of Corruption have to interfere at this time!"

[Fu Xuan]: "Unexpectedly, at various crucial moments, the Herrscher of Corruption came to Mei's side."

[Silver Wolf]: "As expected, Mei alone cannot revive Alicia."
