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

Moreover, it's an unpleasant memory.

"Hehe... I really hit the jackpot. Thanks to the guinea pig, I'll definitely treat her better in the next experiment."

Seemingly having figured something out, Mebius went straight to Qianjie and prepared to fight him without saying a word.

According to them, the Thirteen Heroes were a fragmented organization, considered by many to be a pieced-together group.

Meanwhile, Airi took Mei back to the Paradise Hall, the place where they first met.

Here, Airi tells Mei about the birth of the Fire Chaser. It was in this place that Airi proudly announced this name to the world!

Unfortunately, the group of Thirteen Heroes was not approved by the higher-ups at all.

Even after the tragedy that had been contained, and with the Fire Moth's strength reduced to only thirteen fusion warriors, the higher-ups were still wary of them.

Airi didn't say much of these discouraging words. Instead, she took Mei back to the place where they first met and led Mei through the various spaces of the Paradise of the Past.

Mei slowly recalled the days she spent in the Paradise Trials.

These are precious memories that belong only to Mei and Ei-ge.

As they strolled through the paradise together, reminiscing about the past with a touch of melancholy, the bond between Airi and Mei deepened.

After that, Mei and Airi returned to Eternal Paradise. Airi playfully said:

"Speaking of which, Mei is quite a presence even among the visitors."

"Who would have thought that a Herrscher could become friends with someone like that?"

[Tesla]: "No way, what time is it? Those high-ranking officials are still thinking about infighting?! They're even worse than Otto!"

[Fireworks]: "Human infighting... we have to experience it, it's a tradition!"

[Raiden Mei]: "Mebius wouldn't pick a fight for no reason. She must have discovered something. Could it be the Corruption?"

[Black Swan]: "It's a great way for Airi to reminisce about the past with Mei."

[Blue Sparrow]: "Airi is so good at flirting! Mei can't resist at all!"

Kiana: "Alicia! You...you...you..."

[Star]: "Poor Kiana, she's so angry she can't even speak properly."

Chapter 239 Alicia's Horn Returns

"Even those outside of them have different purposes, conceal their secrets, and even have contradictions and conflicts with each other."

"But... I can sense a shared belief in these people, or rather...."

Mei looked at Airi firmly and answered seriously, "..."

"Perhaps this is the most precious gift that the end times have given to people."

A gentle breeze blew by, and countless cherry blossoms scattered behind her, their pink glow falling on Alicia.

With her hands behind her back, Ellie said playfully to Mei, "Yes, you're right."

"They were never perfect heroes, they were just the ones who were there at that time."

"That's why I believe that anyone else would make a similar choice, even if the circumstances were different... and might even do better?"

"This is eternity, what I believe in."

[Star]: "Help! I think I saw a succubus!"

[March 7th]: "She truly is a beautiful girl, as lovely as a falling flower. She really wasn't lying."

Kiana: "She's so beautiful, I... wait! Damn it! Alicia!"

[Blue Sparrow]: "It's all over, even Kiana has been bewitched by some fairy."

[Star]: "No one can resist Alicia!!"

The unrelated past, and because of this... it didn't vanish into dust along with the previous civilization.

"You are destined not to see all the stories, or even grasp a corner of the whole picture. The entirety of thirteen people's lives... is such a complex, yet beautiful thing."

"The meaning lies in what I want during this process."

“That will determine what you can do when you reach the finish line,” Alicia replied.

"In the end, I was still unable to escape your control."

Mei looked at the playful and adorable Airi and said with a touch of indulgence.

"You've gone to such lengths... but your purpose has never changed from the beginning."

"It would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that there was a purpose behind it."

Ellie answered with a smile.

"However, what you've said is indeed my little wish. To remain consistent... that's mine."

"I think Mei can face it calmly now."

"I hope so, but I'm a little surprised."

Mei then added, "You, whom I've never liked, still told a little lie about this."

"...You didn't need to hide it from me for so long."

Mei looked at Airi tenderly, just as she had looked at Kiana back then.

Ellie looked unusually for being lonely.

"That's true, maybe... I really did tell a huge lie, the only one in my life."

"After all, I'm scared too."

"If Mei knew my identity, maybe... she wouldn't greet me with a smile like before?"

Will you doubt me? Will you... distance yourself from me?

Airi's voice grew softer and softer, and you could feel her unease even more, as if she was afraid that Mei would distance herself from her because of this.

"Am I... pretty disappointing?"

Eden: "My dear Ellie, you have never let anyone down."

[Star]: "Alicia is Alicia, how could she possibly distance herself because of her so-called Herrscher identity?"

[Theresa]: "That's right. It may sound strange, but we at St. Freya are not short of Herrschers. How could we distance ourselves from you just because of your Herrscher status?"

[The Herald of Knowledge]: "Hey, what's the big deal? I'm still the Herald, aren't I?"

[Raiden Mei]: "Alicia, although we've never met in real life, I think we can be friends."

Kiana: "Me too, me too!"

[Alicia]: "Mei, Kiana, haven't we become friends already?"

【Fireworks】: "Oh dear~ Kiana has fallen for it too. As expected, newbie Kiana can't beat veteran Alicia."

It won't make me treat you any differently.

"Even if you become a Herrscher... so what? Aren't I still a Herrscher?"

Is that answer enough?

"Hmm...that's enough!"

Hearing Mei's firm answer, Airi once again showed a bright and energetic smile.

That girl who was always considered to be, everything she said and did in front of Mei, everything she revealed, perhaps from beginning to end, was just for this one person.

In the distant past, on that night when she was dressed in pure white, wearing her once-in-a-lifetime new makeup, she walked towards her final moments...

Did she get the answer she wanted?

Even if... I become a Herrscher...

Even if you become a Herrscher—

In the silence, Mei Toshiyu sensed something was wrong: "Hmm?"

The familiar voice pulled Mei back to reality.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Alicia's innocent and sweet smile in the setting sun, the light falling on her cheeks and flowing down her fair skin...

Passing by her soft body, in the hazy distance, something was faintly visible behind her—it was…

It also has a recording function!

Mei remained silent, Mei pondered, Mei gritted her teeth: "Alicia...!"

All the sadness dissipated in Alicia's farce.

[Padofilis]: "Uh... I can only say that she is indeed as good as Sister Aili."

[Star]: "This little megaphone is truly a collector of embarrassing history."

[Fireworks]: "It even has a recording function?"

[Hanabi]: "Mei, oh Mei, you really got fooled by that bad woman~"

Kiana: "How dare you deceive Mei's feelings! Humph!"

[Silver Wolf]: "This little megaphone is definitely the main feature of the entire Paradise. I don't know how many people's dark history it has recorded!"

[Padofilis]: "Oh no, canned food! Don't you think we asked for a lower price for this when selling it to Sister Aili?"

[Gold Placer]: "He really has a good business mind."

[Star]: "Is this the mutual appreciation between lucky but unscrupulous merchants?"

[Gold Placer]: "It's just something to admire and regret."

Chapter 240 Where is Alicia?

Alicia clutched the megaphone tightly, but her gaze was fixed on the distance—on the sea, a misty island sat at the end of her sight.

"But...it's a bit strange."

Alicia looked somewhat confused: "I should have been prepared, so why is it still shrouded in mist?"

Mei followed Airi's gaze and exclaimed in realization, "That island... so that's it?"

"Yes, everything Mei wanted to know about that event is kept there."

"I'm also very curious about what exactly happened."

Don't you know it yourself?

"Forgot?" Ellie put her hands on her hips and said matter-of-factly, "I'm just a memory, I only know myself, but I don't know anything else."

Afterwards, Airi and Mei took a walk towards the center, where Airi asked Mei what it all meant.

"We can only stay here, unable to touch the reality you live in, nor can we accompany you into the future."

"When you leave here and return to your normal, real life... you also know very well that everything that happened here is just a story, just one story."

"It won't be long before you forget these things, forget these words, forget... our existence."

"You will meet someone better than me, or you may have already met them. Ultimately, you have your own life to live, and you must embrace your own tomorrow."

"In that case, do our emotions, our thoughts, our will, our actions... really still have meaning?"

"What does it mean to you, to anyone?"

The girl looked at Mei, still smiling.

Kiana: "Uh, of course I won't forget you all!"

[Jing Yuan]: "The very existence of you heroes here is the continuation of civilization. How can the transmission of a shared will be meaningless?"

[Black Swan]: "Although I cannot witness it with my own eyes, Alicia, the memories of you Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser are stored in the Flowing Light Memory Garden, and we will remember you forever."

[Mebius]: "I never expected Alicia to ask such a question."

[Alicia]: "What? Dr. Mebius is surprised? I know a lot more than that!"

[Padofelis]: "Sister Aili is awesome!!"

[Raven]: "My intuition tells me that something is definitely wrong with the thick fog on this island."
