Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

"And the gap will become more and more obvious as the speed of evolution increases. Isn't that obvious?"

Alicia recalled the past Herrschers, somewhat conflicted: "But why do I always feel that you've always been a little stronger than the Herrschers?"

Chapter 199: You're a womanizer! Then you're a scumbag!

Alicia's concerns were not unfounded. The First Herrscher was like a test, and An Yu was not even seriously injured. Although the Second Herrscher was a mechanical monster, it was nothing to An Yu. The injuries were serious but not fatal.

But An Yu, the Third Herrscher, has already faced death.

Therefore, from an outsider's perspective, An Yu is actually becoming increasingly overwhelmed.

An Yu: ...

"It's different. Before, I wouldn't evolve a second time after a battle, but now I not only evolve a second time after a battle, I evolve a third time!"

As she spoke, An Yu tilted the sword, looking at the handsome profile of the young man on the blade, her confidence still shining through.

Alicia gave a muffled "oh".

"But weren't you very wary of the Honkai before?"

"No need now. If YulanDell can provide global protection, why can't I!"

Alicia felt even more depressed. She felt that things shouldn't be like this, and that humanity shouldn't rely on just one person.

However, she couldn't really explain it, after all, she was just an idiot.

Seeing the oppressive atmosphere surrounding Alicia solidify, An Yu gently rubbed her head.

“You can always trust An Yu.”

"But what if you also become a Herrscher?"

An Yu was taken aback. He had never really thought about this kind of future, and the birth of the Herrscher seemed quite unstoppable.

However, if Anna could withstand it, there's no reason why I couldn't, so...

"Hmph! That means the key to salvation has been completely handed over to me!"

Alicia continued to explain, "I just feel that the heavy responsibility of humanity fighting against the Honkai shouldn't be left to one person alone."

Although she used to be a pure individual hero, seeing An Yu grow up to this point, Alicia has realized the problem, but she can't quite put her finger on it.

"An Yu, don't you think something's wrong with the current situation?"

"The Honkai outbreak. I used to think that people with strength should shine, but after spending so much time with you, I suddenly feel that they shouldn't shine too much."

"I can't even imagine what humanity would do if something happened to you."

An Yu paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought: "You mean, I overshadowed the efforts and brilliance of others?"

"But they shine and give off heat, and many people die because of them."

Alicia was immediately deflated; that's why she felt something was amiss.

An Yu is too strong, which makes everyone else seem too weak. But if others gradually become stronger, it means that the collapse will not be stopped immediately, causing even greater casualties.

But An Yu's evolution is too fast. Even though the frequency of the Honkai outbreaks is constantly increasing, he can still perform his duties as a savior in a cool way.

So the problem lies with An Yu, or rather, with everyone except An Yu!

Humanity's combat capabilities have suffered a significant gap!

Moreover, there are currently no signs that Alicia may see any possibility of her combat power returning to normal.

Normally, the best organizational structure is a triangle, but now the triangle has lost its middle part, leaving only An Yu as the apex and the bottom base.

There's no one left in the middle, and there's no way to advance. An Yu's level is too high, which has created the wrong mindset in others. We're really strong!

An Yu fell into deep thought. The question sounded quite big, and it was a bit difficult for someone as illiterate as him to think about it.

Fortunately, he has a think tank!

An Yu invites you to join the Genius Club.

Alicia stared at her phone, unable to pinpoint the problem, but she felt things shouldn't be this way, so she wondered what solutions those clever people could come up with.

but

"Why haven't I received an invitation yet? Is it a problem with my SIM card?"

Alicia was confused. The internet was fine, and the software was working perfectly. Looking at An Yu's innocent expression, they stared at each other for a while, and then Alicia's face turned red instantly. She pounced on An Yu, wishing she could strangle her to death.

"Stop, stop, stop! Lady Alicia, I was wrong!"

Moreover, during this time, the Seven Thunders of Purification, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, actively transformed into chains and moved closer to Alicia's hand.

“You’re not wrong, I’m the one who’s wrong. I even associated you with the innocent boy from two years ago.”

"I believed your promise, but I forgot that promises are meant to be broken."

Alicia was furious. At such a serious moment, she was suddenly tricked like this. Now Alicia pressed An Yu down on the sofa and picked up the other person's phone to look at the group chat.

It's a newly created group chat, and at this time, most people are at work, so no one has replied yet.

Alicia continued scrolling through An Yu's other chat logs, which was very impolite, Alicia admitted, but An Yu was impolite first.

With chains binding An Yu's wrists, Alicia stopped riding on him and sat on the floor beside him, scrolling through the chat history.

As before, I didn't pay any special attention.

But who is this A Danzhu?

Oh, I remember now. Alicia has a pretty good memory. Plus, Danzhu is a beautiful girl, and the twin sisters make a good impression on her.

Why do you chat with this guy named Danzhu every night?

"You haven't said goodnight to me on your phone every night!"

And she says she doesn't care much, but when she gets a message from A Danzhu, isn't she always at the top? She's the first person I see when I open my contacts.

An Yu hesitated for a moment, then moved closer to Alicia. He wondered, he and Danzhu hadn't said anything, had they?

And

"Didn't I say that in real life?"

"But you don't say it every day!"

An Yu had a lot of questions on her mind. The reason I didn't say something must be that I wasn't home. How could I say goodnight to you when I wasn't home?

"Count for yourself. You said goodnight to him 23 times this month, but only to me 21 times." Alicia opened the chat history and found that up to the 1st of the month, there were a total of 23 times!

It doesn't sound like much, but there are only 26 days left in this month. And when An Yu doesn't come home at night, she will say goodnight to the other person, but she won't say goodnight to herself!

An Yu remained silent for a long time. She struggled for a moment, but the Seven Thunders of Purification did not give her any face and did not let go.

“But she always says goodnight to me first, while you never say goodnight to me unless I take the initiative to say it to you.”

"Oh, Alicia, now that I think about it, you're the real scumbag!"

Besides, why bother with such a trivial matter! He and Danzhu are completely innocent! They are like-minded fellow Daoists, so there are no sordid things between them.

Alicia was annoyed. She clicked into the specific chat history and found that it was indeed Danzhu who said goodnight every time.

Why don't you say goodnight to me when you're on your phone?

An Yu has never changed, but I don't know when it started, he suddenly became very popular.

It's really frustrating.

"Because I don't like playing on my phone!"

Chapter 200: The Signature of 197

Oh no, after all this agonizing, it seems like it really is my problem.

No, no, we can't back down when facing An Yu. Otherwise, given An Yu's boundless personality, Alicia doesn't even dare to imagine what might happen in the future.

"Then why do you always chat with her on your phone!"

"If you message me, I'll chat with you!"

Alicia paused for a moment, but then huffed in dissatisfaction, "Even if I'm 99% wrong, don't you have that 1% to blame?"

If you take the initiative to contact me, then wouldn't I just have that habit?

But he still sheepishly went to untie the chains on An Yu's hands.

"Oh no, I remember I made a slip knot."

After a couple of tugs, Alicia was dumbfounded. "You're a chain, not a rope. How can this thing be wrapped so tightly?"

An Yu sighed: "We had a little disagreement."

What a mess! He doesn't have to constantly appease his two girlfriends, but he's put a lot of effort into Alice, Seven Thunders of Purification, and his sister-in-law Ling.

This isn't right. It shouldn't be like this. Alicia is his confidante, someone he knows well and can put him at ease. The Seven Thunders of Purification is his best partner, someone he can always trust and rely on. Ling, as his sister-in-law, is also on his side and helps him manage his marital relationship.

But why are they all reversed?

Those who need to be coaxed don't need to be coaxed at all, while those who don't need to be coaxed are constantly pressured one by one.

“Miss Qi Lei, it’s time to let go.”

As An Yu's fingers touched the chains, the Seven Thunders of Purification transformed into a katana once more and was held in her hand.

Seeing this, An Yu felt much better. It was alright, at least she still had half a cotton-padded coat.

Alicia was confused and slightly shocked. Did such a weapon really exist in the world that had to be coaxed into use?

But what's the point?

I don't understand. I don't get it, but Alicia doesn't intend to correct An Yu's thought process.

What are you planning to do next?

An Yu suddenly became lazy. It's not that he stopped trying, but rather that he couldn't figure out how to try anymore.

That's fucking ridiculous.

"I don't know. After all, you can't expect me to have a junior high school education, even though my junior high school education is indeed higher than yours."

"Now that our strength has stagnated, the thing I've thought about the most is whether I can organize an upgrade system. But both Sister Mei and Dr. Einstein were terrified when they heard my idea, fearing that I would harm the army."

An Yu helplessly shrugged. He didn't know what went wrong either. Neither Sister Mei nor Dr. Einstein believed that his upgrade method was correct.

Alicia: ...

"That's good, at least there's someone to keep you in line."

An Yu's words almost stunned Alicia as well. After all, given An Yu's efficiency, if she were to record every detail of her upgrade journey and compile it into a book, humanity would be doomed!

Oh, I should say that's it for the moths that chase fire!

Don't worry about how people will react when I add this to the gacha pool a hundred years from now, because humans don't actually live a hundred years from now.

After all, so far, most beings in similar situations to An Yu are referred to by humans as Honkai Erosion or Honkai Disease, all of which are incurable.

Looking back now, Alicia realizes she was just crazy back then. Otherwise, why would she teach An Yu something like that? Luckily, An Yu's constitution is different from normal people.

Thinking of this, Alicia pressed down on An Yu's shoulder with a serious expression, staring into the other's eyes, which were no longer clear.

"An Yu, promise me you won't harm ordinary people."

An Yu: ...

"I think I'm the kind of person who saves more lives."

"That's not important. If you ever have any great ideas that will go down in history, you must tell Alicia. Even if there's not enough time, you must tell Sister Mei."

At this point, Alicia covered her red lips, her expression somewhat sorrowful.

"I used to really like your personality, but now I realize that your personality is really risky everywhere. When you were weak, you were naturally safe and sound, but with your current strength, it's too easy for you to cause all sorts of incidents."

If Alicia expands in this direction, could it be that someone has already secretly imitated An Yu, or that a private army has already conducted large-scale trials, only that not many assassins have appeared and all of them have been suppressed?

Wow, Alicia didn't dare to think any further.

An Yu remained silent for a long time, then pointed to herself: "The words of the savior were misinterpreted because of other people's selfishness. Should I also bear the sin of this?"

“Alice, I thought we were always on the same side.”

An Yu lowered her head and listlessly prepared to leave the room. Alicia didn't react at first, but still grabbed An Yu.

Alicia looked a little embarrassed: "Um, Lady Anyu, please wait a moment, let me think for a while."

An Yu remained silent, maintaining a calm facade while pondering what to do next.
