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

[Star]: "I've figured it out now, you heroes, each and every one of you possesses extraordinary skills!"

[Raven]: "Didn't we already know that? If you don't have some special skills, what kind of hero are you?"

[The Lawgiver of Knowledge]: "Exactly! Exactly!"

It also ended with a match.

The man awoke in the boundless darkness.

The man lowered his head, examining his own body, unable to comprehend the situation before him.

Qianjie knew what he had encountered in the darkness, but he didn't understand why he was in this completely unfamiliar place.

But there was something even more pressing for him.

Like a mirror image, another version of himself appeared before Qianjie.

"Oh, these are... those tenth divine keys you broke before you underwent the super-transformation surgery?"

He examined the broken swords with the same expression he would use to examine a corpse.

The guy who appeared in front of Qianjie seemed to be helping Qianjie examine himself, constantly commenting on Qianjie's memories.

It's like reviewing an item.

"Oh? It happened at that sanatorium?"

Qianjie's rage grew ever stronger, but this 'Qianjie' showed no sign of stopping: "What's wrong? Something you can't bear to recall?"

The man was momentarily caught off guard, not because the other person's words had come true, but because he couldn't shake off the rapidly flashing memories before his eyes.

Most of the images depict the victims.

In a faded hometown, in a rediscovered home, on a battlefield promised by others...

He always managed to be the sole, last survivor. He would walk away amidst the corpses strewn everywhere.

"...Is there anything else to ask?" Qianjie's cold tone suggested he wanted to tear him apart.

"The current situation is unique. We are both... and one."

"Therefore, my opinion on a matter may not be the same as yours. For example..."

"This weapon remains here as a symbol."

'Thousand Calamities' looked at the blue katana stuck in the ground with a meaningful gaze:

"If your memories hadn't been distorted by the berserk state, Sakura would have destroyed your second one for the sake of the mission, right?"

"Of course, that was also an opportunity. If the process by which the Fire Moth discovered you hadn't been so... cruel, you probably would have died as an ordinary person in the end, right?"

Qianjie suppressed his anger with all his might: "Enough, you have no right to comment on Ying."

"Sakura?" As if he had heard something amusing, 'Thousand Tribulations' burst into laughter:

"There are indeed things about her that I don't understand."

“I have every reason to hate her to the core, but you don’t.”

"Destroying the space of Paradise... You're even willing to go to that extent for her, why?"

"I don't need a reason to do something."

[Sunday]: "The Herrscher of Corruption has really appeared. It seems that Thousand Calamities' somewhat crude plan has actually succeeded."

[Star]: "Damn it! If Erosion can impersonate a thousand calamities, why can't it impersonate other heroes and create chaos!"

[Thousand Tribulations]: "Fine, very well, Herrscher, you truly deserve to die!!!"

[Gui Naifen]: "My home was destroyed and my companions died. I never thought that Qianjie, who seemed so violent, had experienced such a thing."

[Hua]: "A thousand tribulations..."

[Qian Jie]: "Hmph, I don't need your comforting!"

[Fireworks]: "Senjoyed is also filled with regret, regretting that he didn't save more people~~"

………………

There was only one update at 8 am today, but don't worry, I'll post five chapters at midnight tonight!

It would be inhumane to stop updating at the next point, but I'm a kind-hearted person and won't resort to angst.

Chapter 252 Qianjie Wants a Home

It's quite strange; judging from these memories, you never seemed to hate any specific person.

Then 'Qianjie' pretended to suddenly realize something: "Oh... I finally understand, Qianjie, no wonder you seem to have no reservations about Sakura."

"Whether it was the day you were taken to the nursing home, or every time you felt powerless afterward, the only person you hated was yourself?"

"So that anger won't die out... unless you face death, right?"

"Have you said enough?"

'Thousand Tribulations' sighed regretfully and said, "It seems you have no interest in understanding yourself. That's true, humans are more human when they are in sorrow."

"However, I also discovered something even more interesting."

"You seem very satisfied with your experience as a porter in the nursing home."

"That's so strange... You didn't enjoy killing at all back then."

"Even though they can't see, you can't help but laugh when those children praise you."

'Thousand Tribulations' voice sounded even more mocking and ridiculous, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable:

"So, if you had a choice, even someone who has completely transformed into a human would want to be an ordinary person?"

"Shut up!" Qianjie was almost at his breaking point.

[Star]: "Enough! Stop talking, I feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for him!"

Kiana: "Are the Herrschers of Corruption really that despicable? They not only kill you, they also destroy your spirit!"

[Fu Xuan]: "But why is that? It seems that the memories of a thousand tribulations are completely defenseless against erosion. Why would it do this?"

[March 7th]: "Could it be revenge? But it seems Qianjie hasn't offended Erosion, has he?"

[Danheng]: "It's more likely that we need to investigate some information, some information that cannot be experienced simply by reading memories, such as 'emotions'."

[Vilvie]: "Disguised as a hero... Now I understand, the target of the erosion has always been Alicia, or rather, the weapon that only Alicia can activate - Armed 666."

Kiana: "But Alicia is already dead. What can we do? Can corruption revive Alicia?"

[Möbius]: "Or rather, Erosion wants to become that guy."

Eden didn't speak, but his hand gripped the wine glass tightly, its surface cracked.

'That beast that instilled fear in everyone and annihilated the most enemies... didn't actually enjoy the slaughter. Its thirst for power stemmed from its constant weakness in the face of unforeseen circumstances.'

"The life of an ordinary person? Ha... no, that's not what you want at all, what you want is..."

"I told you, shut up!" Qianjie roared, interrupting him.

"Ah... calm down, I don't need to argue with a dying man."

"It seems our stroll isn't over yet... There's no point in a reasonable conflict breaking out."

"Well... that's the bar. This should be the last stop... for both body and mind."

[Padofilis]: "So, all that wild fighting Zed was because he just wanted a home. I really misunderstood Zed."

[Silver Wolf]: "He looks so rugged, but I didn't expect him to be so gentle inside."

[Alicia]: "Hmm, I already said, Qianjie is a gentle boy at heart~"

[Theresa]: "In the end... is Corruption going to kill me? Qianjie, please don't let anything happen to you!"

[Jiaoqiu]: "It's very risky. You know, even Kevin crashed in Erosion's home field. I think Qianjie is likely to be in grave danger as well."

[Padofilis]: "Is Brother Jie really an alien? This rumor is actually true!?"

[Vilvie]: 'Is this surprising? Look at this chat group, aren't they all aliens?'

[Silver Wolf]: "Hilarious. There are plenty of aliens out there, and to us, you're aliens too."

[Star]: "You won't find two people from the same planet on our Starry Sky Train!"

"……one."

Did I answer correctly?

At the same time, Qianjie unleashed a powerful punch at the form that was exactly the same as his own.

But it was all in vain.

This punch, which no one could take lightly, stopped in mid-air.

'Qian Jie' was somewhat puzzled: "What, you don't really like this gift of mine? I thought this was a very rare opportunity."

"Alright, since you don't have much time left anyway, I'm not going to pretend with you anymore."

【Star】: "Erosion is like dancing on a landmine, it's like provoking Brother Jie's anger."

[Broken Iron - Void Treasury]: 'This behavior reminds me of an old friend, except that its ability to erode and stir up emotions is nowhere near as good as my old friend's, don't you think, Mr. Welt?'

[Broken Iron Welt]: "Get lost!"

[Potio]: "Baby, this guy just wants a home, a place to go back to, he's so sad, my baby wants that too."

[Silver Branch]: "The anger burns to protect family, what a pure and noble ideal..."

[Alicia]: "Qianjie, would you consider us family now?"

[Padofelis]: "Yeah, Jie, I need to cling to your thigh!!"

[Thousand Tribulations]: "Hmph!"

[March 7th]: "How should we fight next? I have absolutely no idea. The erosion in the data space is just too powerful!"

[Star]: "Don't be afraid, we will win!"

Chapter 253 Aponia's Resolve to Die

Farewell, heroes who chase fire.

In the darkness, Qian Jie laughed, his mad laughter echoing throughout everything.

Then, the first fire was lit—

"……Who are you!"

The fist that was suspended in mid-air suddenly exploded.

"You can't do anything to me, that's a fact."

"I really can't."

"But do you really think you're the only one stalling for time...?"

'Thousand Tribulations' showed no fear whatsoever, instead mocking, "Haha, pinning your hopes on your companions? Is that something Thousand Tribulations would do?"

"You're just giving me a second generous gift."

"Yes, a bouquet of flowers to be placed at your grave."

Even after all this, Qian Jie's words remained incredibly aggressive:

"...It's not that I don't understand, it's just that I disdain using it, understand?"

"And what you want to see, what you want to do... is only just beginning—"

The fire is raging.

It scorches everything, devours everything, and destroys everything.

Just like this man's beginning, now... and his end.

"I want to thank you. You made me understand what my woman was saying back then... a second possibility for life, right, hmm?"

"—Yes, I've wanted to stop doing this for a long time."

A raging fire erupted from Qian Jie's body as he roared at the erosion:
