Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

"Boss! There can't be stars in a person's eyes, and this kind of scam is all too common!"

Chapter 261: 258, are you willing to work together to save the world? I am!

“I like it, and this ‘angel,’ it seems like there are stars in your eyes.”

An Yu was taken aback. This was the first time someone had said that. After all, compared to the beautiful eyes of others, he, a true Chinese, seemed rather ordinary.

For example, most of the eyes in the Honkai world are a deep blue, which is very beautiful and gives people the illusion of crystal eyes.

Alicia and Patto are like that, and the rest are even more advanced: Sakura has purple eyes, Mei has green eyes (and now they're vertical pupils), Aponia also has multicolored eyes, and as for the Great Magician…

An Yu's ideas are quite strange, so I won't go into details here.

"If Alicia were here, she would definitely say, 'If you like it, you can look at it more.' But I'm not that kind of pig with a timid mind."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Aponia. The moment I saw you, I knew I'd come to the right place on Twilight Street!"

S-class armor!

Although the later stages of Honkai Impact 3rd were all S-rank armor, doesn't that just demonstrate their combat strength in the story?

Furthermore, Aponia's combat strength seems to be exaggerated, with claims of being invincible among humans, but I don't know the specifics.

Aponia grasped the boy's hand. It was clean, and judging from the roughness of his hands, he shouldn't be a warrior. But Aponia stared at the large wings on the boy's back, and something seemed very strange to her.

"Do you believe in fate, Miss Aponia?"

"Boss, don't you have any other words?!"

Pado was so embarrassed she felt like she was going to die. My goodness! How can you hit on someone like that?

Doesn't Aponia look like an artsy young woman?

There are some, but not many.

Aponia pursed her lips, a glint of light appearing in her eyes: "Do you also believe that fate is real?"

She believed it so much!

Since she took over the sanatorium, one day during her prayers, she received a sudden revelation. At first, she didn't understand what it was, but later she vaguely realized that it was the thread of fate.

She believes in fate so much!

“Many people think I’m a missionary when they hear me talk like this, but I’m not religious at all. Miss Aponia, you are the first person who is truly willing to believe in fate.”

"I still remember Dr. Mei's eyes, which witnessed the diversity of human species."

"But fate does exist, just as this era was originally destined to end, just as fate did not accept this future and chose me."

"I can save the world, and I must be able to save the world."

Although the thought that Kevin might eventually become obsessed with his progress made An Yu very confident, he would be much more serious in his actions, but he would always be optimistic in his mindset.

It doesn't matter, as long as there's a health bar, I can kill it.

Pado: ...

She glanced at Aponia instinctively, wanting to say a few words in defense of her boss, and also hoping to get more tips after they parted ways.

But why do you look like you agree with me, Aponia?!

Could it be that the seemingly dignified and convincing nun is actually a silly, immature older sister who craves recognition?

"Fate chose you? Yes, and that's the only way to explain why you're not bound by fate."

That explains it all. Under Paddo's bewildered gaze, Aponia's expression became even more devout.

Aponia actually has a very strange perspective, and entering this perspective doesn't even require her to consume anything.

She could see countless veins of light spanning across everyone, not directly connected to the human body. They were ethereal and seemed easy to manipulate, yet they were also real and difficult to change the future.

But An Yu had nothing above his head; in fact, he easily disrupted the fate of Little Red Dress, altering her future, which was about to break down not far away.

If we say that the boy was chosen by fate, that is indeed a very convincing statement.

An Yu blinked, feeling that something was a little off, but Aponia, Aponia, I didn't expect you to have chuunibyou too.

So, how has fate been supporting you?

"Fate has given me the ability to disrupt fate."

An Yu was taken aback. It was quite a tongue twister, but that's how their chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) was!

Moreover, the idea of ​​disrupting fate, like awakening abilities related to space and time, is a common fantasy during adolescence.

"So what did you change?"

Aponia's expression turned somewhat sorrowful, or perhaps compassionate? It's hard to imagine why such a word could be applied to a living, breathing person.

"But I discovered that no matter how much you try to disrupt fate, they will always find a way to return to their original path."

An Yu rubbed her chin. It's strange, but some people with delusions of grandeur fantasize that they can do whatever they want, even the air itself.

However, some people prefer angst-filled stories, such as "I can't do anything."

Aponia, this fantasy, um.

"Will the threads of fate all break in the future? And your current efforts have been in vain."

Don't ask An Yu why she says this. This is how tragic novels are: the female protagonist usually works hard for most of her life, only to find in the end that she hasn't changed anything and her fate is still headed for destruction as predetermined.

Then, at this point, the female protagonist should be reborn, skipping the pitfalls she encountered before and starting over. At this point, there are two branches: it could be a perfect ending, or it could be that the female protagonist sacrifices herself for a happy ending, leaving others with lifelong regrets.

Aponia's face lit up with delight. Ah, that's spot on!

This discovery made her so anxious, driving her to constantly strive to become better so she could accomplish more.

But she couldn't do anything.

Pado: ...

I don't know what to say. Aponia really is a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

So, what are your current plans?

An Yu felt like he had connected with Aponia's channel. He felt that as long as he asked the chuunibyou girl about her tragic fantasies, he would have solved the problem.

That's what their chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is like.

"I don't know. I was still hesitating whether to focus on doing my best in my daily life or try to change something."

Aponia was indeed unclear about her future path. She was very confused, and even after being forced into joining the Fire Moth, she instantly found her place, since Sakura had used force to eliminate the other party's other option.

An Yu understood!

I understand! That's what chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is like. While tragic fantasies are certainly perfect, a tragic fantasy can't have only one ending. Whether to start from everyday life or to start directly from something big is a major point of contention in tragic fantasies.

but!

but!

Teenagers in the typical teenage fantasy phase would definitely prefer to start with big things, but since they don't have the means, they can only comfort themselves by thinking that starting with small things is also good.

So

"Aponia, are you willing to fight to save the world and change a future where destiny is about to end?"

Chapter 262: Can I Be Your Partner? (259)

"Can I help?"

"That's enough!"

Pado felt that she was the only normal person in the room. An Yu and Aponia were both mentally ill, and Hongyi was too young to understand anything. She only thought that her older brother and sister were amazing.

An Yu glanced at Pado, estimating the huge gap between S-class armor and SP armor, and decided to ignore her for the time being.

“Fate exists, and I even believe that fate has already given back decades ago.”

"Mebius was born with knowledge and was a monster who should have become a rising star, but he is fond of human evolution and is currently focused on fighting against the Honkai."

"Vilvie is a genius. Even problems that have troubled others for years are just minor issues to her. However, her early life was full of hardships and setbacks. In the end, she also devoted herself to the tools to fight against the Honkai."

"Kevin was originally just a cheerful and outgoing boy, but he also unleashed his potential in the face of the collapse. A high school student, with a baseball bat, defeated a monster that was nearly ten meters tall."

"But even the extraordinary individuals cannot withstand the test of a civilization like Honkai. Now is the time for us to unite as one!"

"Miss Aponia, are you willing to dedicate your strength to the fight against the Honkai?"

How could anyone possibly agree to that?! Boss, being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) is one thing, but you need to come up with something substantial.

Aponia is, after all, the director of the sanatorium; she has a whole sanatorium to care for.

“I do.” Aponia’s eyes were sincere as she held An Yu’s hand.

But please don't actually agree!

Pado screamed inwardly, feeling like she was falling behind the times. An Yu was crazy, and Aponia was crazy too!

"What about the sanatorium?" Paddo asked on behalf of Aponia, who should have said the question.

"How about moving to the Moth of Fire?"

An Yu didn't think it was a big problem and directly asked Miss Aponia, who was always willing to help.

“Your wish.” Aponia nodded. No problem.

In fact, she doesn't even see this as a problem. Whether in the original plot or now, Aponia is a monster nun who clearly distinguishes between righteousness and personal feelings.

Pado was practically screaming in her head, but what's wrong with Aponia?!

In the past, it was always others who were persuaded by you! Don't show that submissive look on your face!

Seeing the two getting along better and better, Pado tried to pull Little Red Dress into her arms, but to no avail. Little Red Dress still preferred the Dean and the Angel Brother.

What about the patients here?

"Aside from those with Honkai disease, how many of these are normal patients?" An Yu began to think seriously. In her opinion, Honkai disease wasn't a big problem, but what about the other patients?

He wasn't sure, and given that this was a chaotic twilight street, filled with shouts of fighting and killing every day, he figured there must be quite a few patients.

"Only one person suffered from extensive frostbite and is currently recovering."

An Yu: ...

An Yu was completely bewildered. Wasn't this a sanatorium? Why were there only Honkai patients and children?

"This is Twilight Street! Boss, apart from the Honkai patients who are destined to die and are just barely clinging to life here, how could there be any other patients here? And this place is unlikely to become a recuperation ground for other gangs."

"It's called a sanatorium, but it's actually an orphanage."

Pado sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. The sanatorium had such a special status, but it didn't really have that many privileges.

The injured and disabled from gang fights would never come here; if they did, they would die a horrible death.

Anyone who has ever been involved in a gang is not allowed to come here, so this place is more of an orphanage than a sanatorium.

"That makes things much simpler. Based on my findings, it's only a matter of time before the Honkai disease is conquered."

"Even now, I can help these little brats solve the Honkai disease problem."

As she spoke, An Yu saw the obedient appearance of the woman in red again, and felt a genuine joy.

Unfortunately, he no longer had a legitimate reason to bite children, at least not with the one in red.

"Can I go see the only patient? Although sacrificing a small number to save the majority is a very efficient method, when there is a way to make everyone laugh, we should definitely make everyone laugh."

Aponia thought of Qianjie, her lips twitched, and she still gave An Yu a heads-up: "Qianjie may have a bad temper, but he is actually a good person."

An Yu: ...

That name sounds familiar. Is it trendy now to have three story characters appear in one location?

An Yu was hard to describe, but he fell silent for a moment. Fortunately, there was a little girl in red next to him who he could hug at will, which relieved his urge to complain.

Playing with the little girl made An Yu feel happy.

Qian Jie's situation is a bit strange. What's strange about it...?

An Yu pointed at Qian Jie: "Large-scale frostbite?"

Does this person have wounds on their body?

"When I saw Qianjie yesterday, he had extensive frostbite all over his body and was sitting alone by the fire. His wounds were healing quickly, but the internal injuries seemed difficult to repair."

An Yu: ...

After carefully scanning Aponia, it's understandable that she doesn't understand these tanky creatures, since Aponia seems to be a psychopath.
