A Journey of Resonance That Begins with Honkai

Chapter 81 - Idiots Who Believe The World Can Be Saved By Anyone

"The end of the world! Today is definitely the end of the world! I saw that Tokyo Metropolis has been blocked, and since this morning, there have been explosions from time to time. There is definitely a war that we don't know about!"

"Although I really want to say that the host is right, but I think that as long as you are not blind, you basically know that the end of the world is coming, right? You see, the magic that enveloped our country a month ago is still there."

"Whether it's the end of the world or not, it's been a month since this magic circle, aren't we still alive? And speaking of Tokyo, according to my distant cousin, the government seems to be carrying out some armed forces Exercise, and quarantined all the residents there half a month ago, saying that it was used to face future emergencies, so stop spreading rumors about the destruction of the world.”

"So what if it's the end of the world? Our entire country's network and information can't pass through this layer of magic to reach other countries. I haven't chased the VTB of the next country for a long time. Damn it, those officials can't Get help from the outside world earlier, and open this damn isolation net?"

"You guys are really in a hurry, but having said that, does anyone still remember the joint carnival a few months ago, last summer? If you think about it carefully, all the abnormalities started from that time, right?"

"So what do you want to say upstairs?"

"I want to say that if these are true, if someone wants to destroy our world, someone will stand up to save our world."

"So who do you think that person is?"

……

nowadays.

Because of the super-large magic circle arranged by Meteora covering the entire Japanese territory, coupled with the full cooperation of the Japanese Prime Minister, the country is already in a completely closed state.

It is different from the closed country at the political level.

This giant magic circle cuts off all signals from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside, and all the information inside is gathered into the Book of Thousand Miles held by Meteora.

Whether people discuss or communicate on the Internet, all the information is collected by the book of thousands of miles in an instant.

and so.

Although there was no good plan to gather people from other worlds here to catch them all at once, Meteora possessed this huge amount of information, and her strength has long been beyond comparison.

It's just that what she never expected was that even without the improvement of the creator's settings, she would become so powerful.

My self from another world, that black [Meteora].

The magic power on her body is not inferior to that of the strengthened Meteora.

This is simply unimaginable!

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

The tremors from the Central Stadium continued.

In the loud chants of the giant dragon and the wild bombardment of spells, as one black and one green figure pulled away from the smoke, this scorching battle had such a short pause.

"Huh, huh!" Meteora panted heavily, and the green robe on her body became a little tattered, "How could it be? The total amount of magic power on your body..."

Although [Meteora] in the distance is wearing revealing clothes, her black off-the-shoulder cloak is also contaminated with too much dust.

But her face is different from the solemnity of her other self.

【Meteora】Put up a very proud chest, with a playful expression: "Magic power? Oh, are you talking about this?"

Between the words, [Meteora] slowly took out three glass beads of the same size and different colors from behind.

After seeing these three glass beads, Meteora finally couldn't help but widen his eyes: "World treasure, you!"

"Ah, just as you thought."

【Meteora】Looking at the three jewels in his hands, his eyes are full of memories: "The role of jewels is to stabilize the world with three pillars, but if the pillars collapse and the world is destroyed, then no matter how precious something is Gone in the blink of an eye."

"That's why I can't stop feeling angry when I look at you now."

[Meteora] put away the three precious jades, and looked at the other self with fierce eyes again: "Obviously I can complete my mission with my own strength, but why should I throw this mission to that unknown person?" brave man!"

"Obviously from the very beginning, he was encouraging others to change their own destiny, so why—"

[Meteora] raised his right hand, and a huge fireball condensed in the sky.

"—Don't encourage yourself, don't resist the tragic fate that belongs to us!"

"Answer me! Meteora!"

It came from another self's questioning, and the scorching fireball in the sky that could already make the skin surface feel burning.

Meteora understood what the other self was talking about, but she didn't understand which period of self this black self came from.

'World Gem, also known as the Secret Treasure of the Stable World. '

"That's what the protagonists in the game must get to save the world, and at the same time, that's also..."

At the moment when the fireball fell from the sky, Meteora thought quickly.

"An important prop that can only be awakened by the sacrifice of contemporary sages."

"……I see."

With the help of the visual distortion brought by the fireball, Meteora's eyes flickered, as if recalling something long ago.

She murmured softly: "If it was me at that time..."

"Are you hating why you didn't resist the fate of the so-called sage?"

"Remembrance of Avaken".

Although this work that gave birth to Meteora is not a niche game, for players, it is not as traditional as traditional RPG.

The plot of the game is very simple, and the main line can also be summarized in one sentence.

That is, the protagonist played by the players met the sage at the end of the world after accidentally falling into the mezzanine of the world, and then, under the sage's notice, resolutely decided to collect three secret treasures scattered in the world, so as to save the world on the verge of destruction. story.

It's not a complicated game in general.

However, its setting is huge, and it is so detailed that every NPC encountered has an interconnected side story.

This huge amount of information, which seemed to carry a real world, instantly occupied the hearts of the players at that time.

And when the official release of the setting strategy collection with more than 800 pages, the players' enthusiasm for the strategy reached the extreme.

but.

When the first person who passed this work appeared, the negative reviews about this game began to continue.

The reason is that this role-playing RPG game only has a fixed story ending.

After awakening the true power of the three secret treasures, the brave man played by the player not only defeated the demon king but also stabilized the world a thousand years later.

Logically speaking, this should also be a traditional ending.

but!

There is one and only one condition to activate the three secret treasures to obtain the power to defeat the devil.

That is to sacrifice the Wanli Sage who has been by the player's side from the beginning to the end, and players need to click OK with their own hands to watch the girl disappear into the world with a smile.

This kind of operation was for the players who only had pure enjoyment and beauty in fantasies at that time——

Undoubtedly murderous and heartbreaking!

Therefore, some players who cannot accept the sacrifice of the people around them to achieve the "great" rescue plot, they give up continuing to advance, and instead only linger in the side plots outside the main plot.

However, when the world is fixed by observation, it becomes both independent and autonomous.

As a sage, Meteora will sacrifice, but he will not die.

The reincarnation of the world made her experience the world being saved over and over again, and she has read the stories about brave heroes with different personalities saving the world over and over again.

The sage at the end of the world, the secretary of Wanli Library, the guide who will always smile and wait for people to come back...

No one knows that under this cycle, Meteora has countless memories.

She moved each of these memories from her brain into a book, and hid them deep in the Wanli Library.

And just as a coin has two sides.

He has good memories of saving the world with the brave men, and naturally has the nightmare memories of the world being destroyed after the brave men disappeared.

Even if the world will still restart after its destruction, the experience of witnessing the life of all things wither in front of his eyes, every time he recalls it, Meteora will be breathless.

That is the memory that Meteora would shed tears and cry after waking up every time she dreamed of it, and it was the memory book she least wanted to open, not one of them.

Therefore, she does not want to let the world be destroyed again, she will use all means to meet the brave man who saves the world, and act as a sage, leading them to save the world until the last moment!

Even if she sacrificed every time on the eve of saving the world, Meteora would sincerely face her own destiny and try her best to do everything well.

however.

Even with such a lofty spiritual quality in the eyes of outsiders.

But for Meteora, she also has a past that can't be recalled.

That was after experiencing the ending of 4 or 5 consecutive world destructions, the repression of the past destroyed Meteora's will.

The backlog of darkness in the heart takes over the mastery of the body.

[Why should the fate of the world be handed over to the predestined person? 】

[Anyway, I have to save the world, and I have to sacrifice at the end anyway, so why can't the brave be me? 】

Although the thinking became extreme, this feeling of rebelling against the doomed fate really made Meteora deeply involved at that time and couldn't extricate itself.

And then, she did.

The failures of several worlds resulted in a resistance to fate, and the historic achievement of saving the world by himself for the first time!

And just like players who are exposed to video games for the first time, after tasting the sweetness of the first game, Meteora started a completely different second game.

Immediately afterwards, it was the third week, the fourth week, and the fifth week...

Until the rescues and sacrifices again and again, from being alone at the beginning to being known all over the world...

From the joy of being a rebellious child at the beginning, to the calmness after releasing all the dark sides at the end.

After the rebellious Meteora saved the world for the last time, without any premise or words, she turned back to her original self.

No longer impulsive, but full of tolerance;

No longer afraid, but full of courage;

No longer sad, but full of hope.

When the world reincarnated, Meteora met the brave man who fell into her library, and kindly guided him, hoping that he would bring salvation to the world.

This is a real and independent story about Meteora outside of the game.

So now.
