Honkai Q&a, Starting with Kiana

"Under the vast galaxy, I am so small, human beings are so small, everything around me becomes insignificant at that moment..."

"At that time, I had an idea - I believe that every star in the sky is our enemy."

At dusk, the soft sunset shines. On the seats on the top floor of the academy, Kevin and Mei are talking to each other, and they are very close side by side.

"... Every star is an enemy?"

Listening to Mei's narration, Kevin scratched his head in confusion, and smiled innocently.

"That's right, in the physics textbook, there is a photo of the earth taken by a space probe from 64 billion kilometers away."

"Ah, I remember! There was nothing in that picture, and I searched for a long time before I found a blue dot the size of a grain of rice from the A4-sized picture..."

"Seriously, that's the earth, the planet we were born on and has existed for 46 billion years. In the grand universe, it's just a tiny spot of light."

"Thousands of years of human history, billions of things, countless knowledge and culture are not worth mentioning from the perspective of the universe. I often think about how 'one person' can have such a vast universe. How much does it mean?"

"……Ha ha ha ha--"

"why are you laughing!"

Mei pursed her mouth, she was obviously talking about a serious topic, but she suddenly laughed. Are you mocking her for not understanding the atmosphere?

Mei got angry, and the consequences were serious.

Of course Kevin understood that if he angered the girl beside him, his strategy progress would be greatly reduced in an instant, so he hurriedly explained.

"No, no, I just feel very novel. When I was dating other girls in the past, when it came to the starry sky, the next thing I would talk about was constellations, blood types and other topics..."

Kevin, who accidentally slipped his tongue, didn't notice that the girl next to her, whose eyes were getting colder and radiating a fierce light, still said involuntarily.

"It's the first time I've seen a girl who can talk about the universe and human beings from the stars. It's you."

Someone praised without compulsion.

"..." Mei smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"...I mean, you're unique, different..."

The hairs on his back stood up, Kevin swallowed his saliva, and he suddenly realized that he felt annoyed and regretted his idiot behavior in his heart.

Am I an idiot for talking about ex-girlfriends in front of 'prospective' girlfriends I'm dating?

"Please continue talking. The topic just now is very interesting. I still want to hear it."

"...I've finished speaking, and you haven't answered my question yet."

Mei sighed. She realized that she had no position to reprimand Kevin. Although her heart was sore and an unknown fire gushed out of her chest, her powerful reason suppressed her anger and said calmly.

"Oh, yes, um... I think about it... Just like what you said, the universe is huge and the earth is too small, maybe... For this starry sky, we... and everything we care about are meaningless Bar."

"Indeed."

'Clam... what a heavy conclusion. '

"But despite this, I, you, and everyone in this world are still living 'meaningfully'."

"We live, we exist, make every choice in life, and grasp every moment of the moment. Human beings have no meaning, but 'we' gives us meaning."

"Now you're like a philosopher again."

"I'm a scientist. When it comes to the nature of the universe, science and philosophy have something in common... I'm curious about one thing..."

"What's wrong?" Kevin tilted his head in confusion.

"You don't seem like someone who would be interested in this topic at all, but you have been hearing every word I said. Do you really think this conversation is valuable? I hope you can answer me in a city."

"...You asked me if I was valuable, and I couldn't answer it, because I guess I could only understand half of what you said, maybe less than half..."

"But...the way you seriously talk about these things really attracts me, so...I want to keep listening."

"Only for this reason?"

"Correct."

"why?"

"I don't know either. Rather, I want to know too. I will learn from you and try to think about the answer to this question."

"..."

Mei was very surprised, but she didn't notice that the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously, revealing a smile.

"Ha ha…"

"You're smiling at last! You look beautiful when you smile."

Kevin grinned in agreement.

"This summer, I'm going to Mu mainland to attend an academic seminar. There will be many famous physics professors and scholars present. I plan to communicate with them and discuss my ideas..."

"Maybe it sounds arrogant, but I want to meet people who can change the world, I want to be one of them, and I want to see how far I can go under this starry sky."

"Come on, I believe that one day, you will realize everything you said today."

Kevin gave encouragement without hesitation.

"What about you? Kevin, do you have any plans for the future?"

"No, not at all. I don't have such lofty ideals as yours. Changing the world is too far away for me..."

Kevin looked up at the increasingly dark sky, his eyes moved to Mei's puzzled pretty face, and said.

"I just want to live a good life in front of me, cherish every friend, enjoy every 'now', live happily and freely."

"You don't think about the future at all?"

"Don't think about it, the world is so big, there is always a place to welcome me, and there are always things waiting for me to do, but if I just keep looking ahead, I will miss the people standing beside me..."

While talking, Kevin once again showed the hearty smile of the prince.

"I'm still a high school student after all! Live innocently and happily, that's what I look like."

"...What a frivolous person, but I hope you can realize your wish."

"Well, I hope our wishes can all come true... Ah, right! Why don't I accompany you to the Mu Continent this summer—"

"It's up to you, I have no right to change your mind."

"Oh yeah, that's great!"

If the days of peace can last...

The prince and the nerdy girl may usher in a happy ending...

It is a pity that this peace was broken on this day...

Chapter 52 He is vulnerable and helpless like a child

A thunderbolt meteor fell into the sky, and the electromagnetic pulse immediately abolished the vitality of the entire city...

The third Honkai broke out in Changkong City. Amidst the sound of sirens, people flocked to the shelter in a panic. Along the way, Honkai beasts ran out from nowhere, wantonly harvesting human life, blood and minced meat Dye the once prosperous city red...

In the crowd, Kevin protects Mei and tries to escape from this hell, hiding and eating food along the way, bypassing the hunting grounds of the Honkai Beast.

Just before they arrived at the shelter, they encountered a man in a black suit whose goal was to find and protect Mei...

At the same time, she is invited to join the human race against Houkai as a scientist.

The men in black claim to be from the 'Moths of Chasing Flame', an anti-Honkai organization affiliated to the United Nations.

Just half a year ago, Mei published a paper on quantum mechanics, which attracted the attention of the organization and judged her as a once-in-a-century genius.

Kevin, who was unwilling to leave Mei, also asked to join Flaming Moth as a soldier...

In this way, the boy and the girl held hands, and their destinies were quietly tied together...

In the video, the casualties and costs paid by various human beings in the battle against Honkai are skipped in turn.

Three years later…

The picture stays on the ruins of the high-rise building. At this time, the refreshing smile on Kevin's face has long since disappeared. He, numb and cold, raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at the Herrscher of Death kneeling in front of him...

boom--

Humanity has defeated the Sixth Herrscher, and after a brutal battle, Kevin has become an excellent fighter...

In the battle with Honkai, more than half of the human troops have been lost. Facing the troubled humans, Honkai stepped up its offensive.

The destruction of the seventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Flame, far surpasses all Herrschers that have appeared so far. In just one week after its birth...

She turned the whole of Australia into a sea of ​​flames.

On the burning sea, the burning sky, and the burning scorched earth, a woman with long red hair blazing with flames walks in the blazing hell.

She is laughing, like a child-like innocent laughter, accompanied by the earth being burned by flames, gradually starting time and space, from being happy and joyful to completely crazy...

Hysterical laughter echoed above this hell.

The Herrscher of Flame laughed wildly, as if mocking the fragility of everything he once protected, as if he was laughing at himself, personally destroying everything he swore to protect...

She laughed wildly, perhaps after becoming the Herrscher of Flame, the warrior who stood on the front line and protected mankind had already died, leaving only the remaining body, controlled by the will of Houkai, to go To destroy, to destroy, to burn, to bring death...

...Her hysterical laughter may be the last proof that she was born human...

In order to fight against the Seventh Herrscher, Mei proposed the 'Fusion Warrior' plan.

That is, in the human body, the DNA of the emperor-level Houkai beast is integrated to create a super soldier who is naturally resistant to the Houkai energy and whose physical strength far surpasses that of humans.

At first, no one agreed with Dr. Mei's whimsical idea that human beings can't even coexist with the Houkai energy, let alone the powerful Houkai beast born from the Houkai energy.

Only Kevin has always trusted Mei. In order to support her plan, Kevin offered to become a test subject.

Fusion warrior surgery is performed by Dr. Mei himself.

Considering the threat of the Herrscher of Flame, Kevin's body incorporates the DNA of the emperor-level Honkai Beast 'Pavanti' that can control ice and snow.

After experiencing unspeakable pain, Kevin gained the power to control ice and snow, but due to almost zero clinical trials, a slight deviation caused his body to suffer irreparable damage...

The video screen was played at a high multiple, and the white-haired young man exuding the cold winter breath, crossed the monstrous flames, and intercepted the Herrscher of Flame, who was laughing hysterically.

Then there was a battle scene as tragic as Shura's hell. Tens of millions of kilometers of land were permanently sealed with permafrost, and the Herrscher of Flame was pierced through the ice cone jungle...

What is surprising is that when Herrscher of Flame died, the corner of his mouth was smiling, not from hysterical madness, but an open-minded smile that let go of everything.

Brought by Kevin who gained the power of Houkai, human beings finally defeated the Herrscher of Flame.

However, Kevin, who won the victory, was not happy.
