Shooting Honkai Impact in a Collapsed World

However, a mysterious letter from Schrödinger broke this peaceful time.He went to Billings, Montana, USA to conduct investigations with Tesla, Einstein and paleoglyph expert Elias Nokian Virtanen.While traveling to North America, Einstein gave Walter the surname "Joyce".

After arriving in North America, Liesel received an unpublished Dead Sea document ordered by Otto. She was then picked up by Emma Planck and Schrödinger. The next day, she went to Yellowstone Lake and met Nancy Thomas. Alva Edison discovered clues about the "Last Soul Steel" left by HA in the underground caves of Yellowstone Park. Afterwards, the troops split into two groups. Walter and his team returned to London to investigate HA, while the North American branch continued to excavate the Yellowstone ruins.

Liesel found clues in a cannon in Londonderry. After analysis, she went to the National Gallery to find "The Execution of Miss Jane Grey" and extracted the resonant soul steel from it.She then returned to the laboratory and scanned the records in Soulsteel through the pre-civilization's supercomputer Ada.After watching the images left by HA, Liesel asked Walter to start his work of taking them to play during the four-week "holiday" because Ada needed to fully analyze the encrypted information left behind and was unable to conduct other research. 】

"'Dead Sea Documents' and 'The Execution of Miss Jane Grey' are both mysterious but full of artistic works." A beautiful woman was sitting in the VIP screening room, shaking a red wine glass in her hand.

Chapter 7 Choosing a bathhouse

This article is also known as - Bathhouse Discussion on Heroes (wrong)

[In the following days, Walter followed Tesla to Highgate Cemetery to feed the cats. In the cemetery, he met the most powerful Valkyrie Leanna Brigantia, whom he met when he got off the plane last time. After accidentally destroying the floating robot used by Tesla and the Finnish son Joachim for pranks, he returned to the laboratory with Tesla and others.

Afterwards, Walter had a heart-to-heart talk with Liesel at the Westcliff Rita Hotel in Saudson-sur-Mer. In his heart, he was deeply worried about the death of 30 people caused by the first collapse. Fortunately, Tesla relieved him. .Later, he met Fu Hua on the beach and was given a book of poems by her.Lie on the beach with Liesel at night and watch the stars. 】

Canghai City

"Hua, that Fu Hua looks similar to you. Even his name, hair color, and personality are similar. If I didn't know you well, I would have thought you secretly went to make a movie."

"How can I possibly act? Although I also feel that the character named Fu Hua in the play has a sense of intimacy."

"Yes, you can't even lie, and you have such a boring personality. If you really go to audition for a movie, I can imagine the director asking you to do laughter, anger, and other lines like 'I will turn everything around' What kind of expression will he have after that?"

"Carol..." Hardened, fist hardened.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's just a joke, Hua, don't take it seriously. Oh, by the way, let's go on to watch movies!"

Changkong City

"Lying on the beach with the person you like, watching the stars..." Heartbeat, sneak peek.

"Huh? Kevin, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, ah? Nothing, nothing, haha!"

"ε=(?ο｀*))) Alas, the handsome and sunny boy in the past has now become like this. It's true that one thing brings another thing down." Someone in the back seat hated the iron.

[Walter met the clown α who had sent a letter before in the bathhouse, and they were honest with each other.

"You...you are the one who sent the letter..." Walter stood by the pool blankly, looking at the other party in surprise.

"Ah, that's right. 'Clown α'"

"But...since we have met, we still need to introduce ourselves 'properly'." The blond man with green eyes, who calls himself 'Clown Alpha', is sitting in a corner of the pool, with only his lower body in the water covered with a towel. , he stretched his arms and rested them on the wall of the pool twice, with a smile and a little laziness.

"My name is Otto Apocalypse, the current bishop of Destiny. Don't worry about it, how about you come in and warm yourself up first?" A man named Otto sent an invitation to Walter.

"Otto Apocalypse?" Walter looked puzzled, sitting next to him, arms folded on his thighs, facing each other.

"Hahaha, that's right, the real name, it's guaranteed to be fake."

"Otto Apocalypse, although in the organization, people don't mention my name very much...hahahahaha" This Otto man seemed to like to laugh.

'Is it the one HA mentioned in the Soul Steel records?No, that’s not right, weren’t those people from hundreds of years ago?So is this... second generation, third generation or something?After all, he looks so young. 'Walter thought to himself.

"...I guess you have heard some negative rumors about me." Otto stopped the smile on his face, squinted his eyes, and became serious.

"Some of them are real, and some are just mere illusions. But these are not important. I did not come here as a bishop today-" Otto turned his head and faced Walter.

"It's just that, since you and I are honest with each other, it would be too foreign to call each other by pseudonyms."

"..." Walter didn't know how to reply, so he could only remain silent for a while, and then, "You...what are you going to do?"

"Ah! My dear friend, why are you so nervous?" Otto raised his left arm and smiled again.

"Pfft... It seems that I shouldn't use the playwright's emphasis to tease me at this time."

"If telling you my purpose clearly will relieve your nervousness - then so be it."

"I want you, 'Walter', to be my heir, Otto Apocalis."

"In other words, I will train you so that you can become the next bishop of destiny after I step down."

"how about?"

"Wha...what?" Walter was really surprised this time.

"Ah. Let's get straight to the point. I'm sure I'll scare you." Otto supported his head with his right hand, "But you have to know...'Apocalis' has never been bound by blood. family."

"From ancient times to the present, she has been attracting people with the most potential in the world."

"So, if you are willing... you can become a naturalized citizen and change your surname today and become my brother."

"Uh...what?" Walter didn't know what to say.

"You will be surprised and unavoidable when you make such a request for the first time. However, from my perspective... I, as the patriarch of the Apokalis family, have been observing you for a long time. ".

"I think that you, as opposed to me, will grow into a truly great leader."

"What does it mean to be contrary to you?"

"Hahahaha, your focus is indeed different from others. Frankly speaking, I don't think I am a qualified bishop."

"The reason why I became a bishop was entirely driven by my personal desires - but that's not the point."

"Today's focus is... I hope to have an heir who truly has a 'great talent'."

"Me? Great talent?" Walter was very confused. He thought that he had nothing better than others.

"Yes, a great talent." But Otto didn't think so. "The so-called talent is an ability that has not yet been realized-so you feel that you are not special. This is normal."

"Well," Otto raised the index finger of his right hand, "I heard that you have read a lot of books in the past two years - what kind of person do you think can be called a person in the history of human civilization for thousands of years? What about 'great'?"

"..." Walter fell into thought.

"It doesn't matter, you can say whatever comes to mind. This is just a communication between pen pals, don't worry about right or wrong."

"...To say that I read a lot is definitely an exaggeration. Since you insist on telling me, I can only list some celebrities." Walter held his chin with his left hand.

“If I have seen farther than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants—how about Newton?”

"Hahaha, isn't this what she said to ridicule others? Newton's mathematical insights are indeed unmatched by anyone. But in terms of the 'greatness' of understanding all things, in my opinion, she is not as good as Shakespeare Woolen cloth."

"...Since you mentioned Shakespeare, what do you think of the writer who wrote 'To be, or not to be'?"

"Haha... She just arranges and combines the various sufferings in the world and shows them to you. Her vision is indeed outstanding, but deep down, she has no sympathy."

"... According to what you said, theorists are often limited to their own fields, and creators must be hard-hearted because they want to express conflicts... So what about religious leaders who advise people to do good, such as Buddha Sakyamuni? ?”

"Ha... after mentioning it, did you even mention our ancestors of Apokalis?" The expression on Otto's face was a little subtle.

"Old, ancestor" Walter was shocked.

"Oh, if I really want to tell you the ins and outs of this matter, I wouldn't be able to finish it even if it takes three days and three nights. However, just from the conclusion... I am powerless, I can see the distance but not my feet - I can't People who say this are great.”

"It feels like your standards are really high." Walter was a little helpless, "So, what about Peter the Great, the father of modern Russia who is down-to-earth and has a world in mind?"

"Peter is certainly very courageous... but the indiscriminate killing of innocent people is a stain that the tsar cannot wash away. A truly great person should be able to prevent unnecessary bloodshed."

"...What about Nightingale, the 'angel in white' who reformed the hospital health system and saved the lives of countless injured patients?"

"She does have a great talent... but her lifelong commitment to the medical profession has actually limited the growth of this talent."

"...Although I can still think of names such as Smith, Darwin, Clausewitz, etc... But according to your high standards, they are not considered 'truly great people', right?"

"That's right. These guys are all smart people who can change the status quo in a certain field on their own... but they lack enough power to practice rational thinking in more fields."

"What they can't do, do you think I can do it?"

"Of course I can't guarantee that you can do it. And intellectually speaking, you are indeed not as good as them. However, you have advantages that none of them have."

"The... advantages that none of them have?"

"Hahaha! Think about the kind of people you have been dealing with in recent days. Einstein, the person with the highest IQ on record; Tesla, the most destructive inventor in history; Planck, The most unconventional physicist of our time; Brigantia, our most powerful Valkyrie; Oh, and the ‘outer world immortal’ Fu Hua you just met today. What they say about you is incredible. They are all very good, right?”

"Uh, yes, yes?" Walter was a little confused and embarrassed.

"Hahaha! You really don't realize it. Let's put it this way, you are the first one here to be able to chat with all five of those guys, right?"

"Uh?"

"Don't you understand what I mean? The real great people are not those who are outstanding in all walks of life, but those who can chat and laugh with these outstanding people and let them realize their maximum potential. And you are what I know, The most suitable person to cultivate into such a great being.”

"...Isn't it right for people like me to have as much as they can?"

"Hahaha... If I am a carnivore among carnivores, then you are a herbivore among herbivores."

"Herbivore? Carnivore?"

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter if you don't understand this metaphor. I want to remind you that a person's inner self not only includes things like personality and temperament - before them, a person's inner self is first determined by his 'body' decided."

"Ontology?"

"The body is not a mysterious thing. I have lived for more than 500 years...and my body, from beginning to end, is just an illusory shadow named 'Saint Girl'."

"Five, more than 500 years?"

"Nothing... It's just a contract with the devil. Besides, if it were you, there would be no need to go to such trouble."

"Uh, you, you mean..."

"I mean, it's actually easier for you to live for 500 years than for me. It's much easier. But that's not the point today. What I really want to say is that your body - if you guide it correctly - is better than mine. Be a hundred times stronger."

"Me? Than you?"

"Well, you are better than me. Don't you have any self-consciousness? Your body... is not a single object of admiration... but the whole human being."

"The main body...is the human race as a whole?"

"'If we choose a profession that best works for the welfare of mankind, then the burden cannot overwhelm us, because we are dedicated to everyone; that is what we feel is not a pitiful, limited, selfish pleasure , our happiness will belong to millions of people, our cause will exist silently but eternally functioning, and noble people will shed tears in the face of our ashes.'"

"——What I want to say is, have you ever, from the bottom of your heart, envied someone who could say such heroic words? Have you ever felt that no matter how many times you are reincarnated, you must be a 'partner of justice'? "

Suddenly, the entire bathhouse went dark, interrupting the conversation.

Otto: "Huh... It has been ten years since the World War. Is the electricity supply in the suburbs of London still so confusing?"

"..."

"You just stay here and don't move around - I'm going to ask the landlady for some lighting."

"No need..."

"Ok?"

Walter stood up slowly and passed Otto in the darkness.

"If you really want to convince me to do something...please don't talk too much next time. You don't understand anything at all, Lord Bishop."

"...Where...did I say something wrong?"

"...No, you actually said nothing wrong. But because of this - it makes me even more...unable to believe you at this moment."

"...Is that so? Well, I hope time can give you the answer."

"... farewell."

"Farewell, my friend."]

"Wow, this bathhouse conversation is so long, and a bit boring." Especially watching two grown men having a conversation in the bathhouse, Kevin felt so sleepy that he almost yawned.

"Really? Kevin, I think this plot is very interesting."

"Huh? Yes, really? What do you think is interesting to you?" Mei, don't you! ?

"Otto Apokalis, his thoughts, combined with his behavior in the previous movie clips, have a sense of separation. Moreover, why he thinks so highly of Walter is really just because he has someone who can reconcile all outstanding characters. Talent?" May began to take a real interest in the film.

"That's right, by the way, if May you were Walter, would you agree to Otto's invitation?" Kevin asked curiously.

"I don't think so on this question, because I'm more suitable to be a pure scientist, not the leader of a giant organization. But Kevin, if it were you, would you agree?"

"Me? Maybe I will agree. After all, when I become the Bishop of Destiny, I will be very majestic and can save the world. I think it's great."

"Kevin, you really have such a personality."
