Collapse, a simulator of lifelong regret!

Let the boy smile again.

must……

It's a very worthwhile thing.

All the power that belongs to the girl, all that belongs to the girl, everything that walks on the earth in the form of a human being under the appearance of a Herrscher.

At this moment, everything is poured into that higher dimensional level, the authority called Origin.

The soul of a girl who had passed away under the ruins, whose soul was unwilling to die because of her obsession, and whose will longed to see the boy again, had established a connection with this authority in a certain sense.

Above the ruins, the wasteland that had been eroded by the energy of the collapse and had lost all vitality once again bloomed with brilliant flowers, flawless and eternal flowers.

However, the gift that the young man and Weiwei prepared for the girl, a bow and arrow made of flowers and flying birds, was now shining with a strange light.

As if it had finally sensed the incoming power, a mechanism hidden deep inside was officially activated.

——Backup Plan No. 14514.

……

……

……

……

“Ka——?”

“Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka!”

The flying flowers from the past life suddenly exploded, causing the girl, who was concentrating all her strength into her, to suddenly become stuck for a moment. Her figure, which had begun to fade and was about to disappear from the world, became solid and fixed again.

corresponding……

The soul that had been touched fell unwillingly again.

A complete fall.

There is no more hope, no more light, and even if the soul struggles with all its might at that moment, it will only fall in vain.

Eventually it fell into the abyss, and that beauty disappeared silently like bubbles in the sun, leaving only the bubbling water reflecting the light.

"Eh……"

"Eh."

"Eh!!!"

The pink pupils shrank suddenly, and the blessings contained in them disappeared as well, and that awareness seemed to be suddenly blown away by the wind.

The girl reached out her hand subconsciously, but couldn't catch the remnants of the soul. The partial debris that had been there just now disappeared without a trace.

impossible.

Even though no life was sacrificed in a one-for-one exchange, a part of the soul should have been pieced back.

Unless there is no unwillingness or will to live at all, as long as there is a little unwillingness and obsession, you will fight back under the guidance of strength.

How could all the souls disappear in just the blink of an eye?

There's no way Wei Li would accept it so willingly, right?

unless……

——This was her mistake again.

what……

Failed again.

It was like it had happened countless times before.

"Why……"

"Why!"

"Why can't I even do this?!"

That kind of lively and agile voice suddenly disappeared, revealing a somewhat manic undertone, full of emotions and gaffes.

Alicia bit her rosy lower lip gently, her eyes sparkling with sparkles, and she tried to fish for the fragments of the girl's soul without caring about the loss of strength.

Useless.

Useless!

Not a single bit of it!

Can't find any at all!

Unable to hold or grasp, the soul that passed by the fingertips seemed to be mocking the girl's helplessness.

unwilling.

anger!

After jealousy and greed, anger also appeared in the heart of the girl as pure as a flower.

That is anger towards oneself.

Angry at not being able to do even the smallest thing, not even the final atonement, angry at one's own incompetence, at one's own uselessness, at one's own ridiculousness.

"Ahem, is it Alicia?"

……

despair.

collapse.

But a sudden voice appeared behind Alicia, just like a circle of waves rising up when she sank into the deep sea, bringing hope of life.

The breath that only belonged to that girl. Because of Jiang Cheng, the breath that was already very familiar appeared in this world again.

The girl's fingers froze in the air instantly, having completely lost their brilliance, and a tiny bit of hope rose in her misty eyes.

——It’s Weiwei’s voice!

Did she successfully resurrect?

why?

Obviously, my life has not yet...

There was no room for further thought, and no longer to consider how unlikely it was that the girl would actually be resurrected. Alicia just looked forward to returning.

"Vilvi..."

"Did you successfully revive?"

……

"--No."

It was a perfect response. I could vaguely feel that the girl already existed in this world, but she was saying the exact opposite.

It's as ridiculous as asking someone if they slept at night and them saying they didn't.

It obviously means that the other party has been resurrected.

only……

There was no trace of Vivi in ​​those pink eyes, not even a fragment of a slightly larger soul.

Broken crystal flowers, the sun shining on the earth, the sound comes from the flying flowers of the past life floating in the air...

"you……"

"Is it possessed by the weapon?"

The cruelty of reality hit the fairies in paradise hard.

Alicia was already saying stupid things that she didn't even believe.

The diamond-shaped pupils were trembling.

Revealing a sadness deeper than sadness.

don't want……

don't want……

Don't fail to do even this.

"The answer is still no."

It was a playful and flippant tone that had never been seen on Weiwei before.

Perhaps it is his last words after his death.

The somewhat shy and introverted girl rarely shows an unknown side of her character, one that is closer to that of a [magician].

"If I answer your question clearly, it only means that my guess about your character is perfect. If the answer is wrong, it means that there is no difference. I am dead, in the true sense of the word."

"I kept this audio clip secret from Jiang Cheng because I guessed that you would come to get the weapon one day. Now that it can be triggered, it proves that my guess is correct. You don't have to wonder if I'm still alive or not."

"The only two requirements for this audio to be triggered are my death and its destined owner coming to it and showing his or her power, a power that I guess does not belong to humans."

"It doesn't matter if you guess wrong anyway. The weapon you hold will automatically trigger in a short while. But I still hope that you do have the power."

"After all, that Herrscher was just the first step towards collapse. According to my research, there will be more Herrschers born in the future."

"With human capabilities, we cannot overcome the gap in abilities between the current Herrschers and the growth of Honkai. The only outcome is death."

"Am i right?"

"..."

Alicia lowered her head alone, her long hair covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

"Okay."

"Let's not talk nonsense anymore. I actually have one request for leaving this audio clip. That is, I hope you can accompany Jiang Cheng after I die."

"..."

"Eh?"

"why?"

Alicia was so shocked by the shocking words of the girl in front of her that she even raised her head, with a completely incomprehensible light flashing between her pink starry eyes.

Velvet...

The girl who loves Jiangcheng the most and hates herself the most.

The man was so angry that he wanted to beat him up because of his neglect and harm to the boy.

Now it seems to be saying...

Let yourself accompany Jiang Cheng.

——Did I hear it wrong?

The first thing that popped up in the girl's mind was doubt. It was even this deep doubt that temporarily suppressed her extremely sad and self-destructive desire.

Before she could even finish her words of doubt, before she could get rid of all the questions in her heart, deep repression and strong inferiority replaced the words stuck in her throat, making it difficult for the girl to open her lips.

It is the pain that comes from the heart, and it is also the depreciation and denial of one's self.

It's approaching the level of self-loathing that Velvet once had.

People like me who only hurt teenagers and mess up everything.

Even a Herrscher, a culprit who brings disaster, a demon who shatters happiness, a person whose heart is filled with meanness and filth.

"——How can you be qualified?"

……

"If what I'm thinking is correct, then you must be feeling very confused and incomprehensible right now."

"of course."

"——You are indeed not qualified."

Weiwei, who left this audio clip, seemed to have realized what the girl would say, and responded mercilessly with extremely harsh and stern words.
