However, humanity and [Honkai] are too far apart in terms of dimensions, which means that this [embrace] is always fraught with errors.
Therefore, the end was endowed with the power of time, using trial and error, and the cycle of Earth's reincarnation, to find the correct answer for this embrace.
The so-called "artificial creation of the Herrscher of the End" by the Adversity Merchant, in the eyes of the current protagonist group, is the practice of imitating the power of the Herrscher of Domination and bringing the "Power of the End" under human control.
Although possessing all the powers of a Herrscher does not necessarily mean that one is the Herrscher of the End.
However, the two do not need to be exactly the same. As long as they can ultimately achieve the same result and serve a specific goal, that is sufficient.
However, the most important point of this plan is that someone needs to step forward, seize the power of the end, and become the "Herrscher of the End".
The risks involved are certainly no less than those of the [Fusion Warrior Surgery] in the previous civilization.
……
Upon hearing about the significant risks involved, those present fell silent.
After all... everyone here is a very close partner, and no one wants their loved ones to take such a big risk, but... someone has to step up...
While everyone remained silent, Tesla spoke up:
"But... if, as we all want to believe, the [Herrscher of Origin] did indeed leave herself a shortcut to this predicament—"
"So, Mei... assuming everything goes smoothly, we might actually have the chance to achieve our first truly happy ending."
Well... the last hope for increasing the success rate of the [Artificial End] ultimately rests on the [Beacon] left behind by Velvet, and on the [Herrscher of Origin] Alicia...
The heroes of the pre-civilization era... truly left behind a great legacy for future generations...
……and.
Chapter 627 This is a letter she has been waiting for for 50,000 years QAQ
The "Stigmata Project" aims to steal the power of the end by manipulating the "Cocoon".
While the method of the Adversity Quotient's "artificial creation of the Herald of the End" plan is different, the goal is the same: to control the power of the End.
Then... cross over to the end.
……
After reviewing the entire meeting, the players engaged in a heated discussion.
Because of the existence of "Honkai Impact 3rd" and the fact that the preview had already revealed that Kiana would become the Herrscher of the End, players had already guessed the final outcome.
This process, however, has piqued the players' curiosity immensely.
Ultimately, did Kiana become the Herrscher of the End because of this Adversity Quotient (AQ) scheme?
Or was it because of Virvi's "backdoor" that Kiana and the others received such great help?
These speculations have made players incredibly excited about the upcoming storyline.
……
Finally, the main characters also came up with a specific plan for exploring the origin.
One hour later, after "997".
Durandal, Theresa, and the others arrived in Abyss City to prepare for their next move.
Their actions are prerequisites for the two action plans: "Exploring the Origin" and "Crossing the End".
Meanwhile, Kiana and the others are waiting at St. Freya Academy for the opportunity to explore the origin.
But waiting was clearly not the right choice, so Bronya and the others decided to take the initiative.
Because taking the initiative carries certain risks, Mei, as a key member of the operation—who infiltrated the depths of the Stigmata Project and used the beacon given by Velvet to find the true backdoor—is at risk of being swallowed up by the Stigmata Project once again.
Therefore, Bronya flattered Bo Shibao profusely, hoping that she could free up her hands and help her as much as possible.
Although Shi Bao would help even if she didn't praise him, it's still quite surprising that Ya Ya, who is usually so carefree, could coax the child in such a way.
Hmm... It was also very enjoyable.
Kiana, on the other hand, was responsible for using the power of the Herrscher of the Void to temporarily seal off the space that was about to tear apart, leaving only the most conservative retreat route.
This would buy Mei more time, reduce the risk of exposure, and delay the counterattack of the Stigmata Project.
After discussing and finalizing the action plan, Bronya did not hesitate.
She used the power of the Herrscher of Truth to break through space, bringing Mei and Kiana to a strange space.
However, after overcoming all obstacles and seeing Mei with the opportunity to move forward, Bronya discovered that this path was a one-way passage with no return.
However, the "backdoor" left by Velvi is completely unknown...
It's very likely that if Mei goes, the main characters will have to carry out another dangerous mission similar to Kiana's rescue of her father.
Even in the worst-case scenario, they might not be able to find Mei at all, thus missing the opportunity to rescue her.
After thinking for a while, Mei decided to... take the risk.
"I think... this is my responsibility, or rather, my mission."
"For me, who inherited the mark of Yingjie, this journey is not only about [finding access to authority], but also..."
"I believe in Kiana, I believe in Bronya, and I believe in everyone who has been through thick and thin with us in the past..."
Mei closed her eyes slightly, and the image of Alicia appeared in her mind.
"No matter when or where..."
I will respond to your expectations.
“Let’s begin…” Mei opened her eyes again and looked at Bronya with a determined gaze.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, just like when she was fighting against the Herrscher of Corruption, Mei began to devote all her energy to recalling everything about that pink-haired girl.
"Mei, now!"
At Bronya's signal, she not only opened the "only passage" for Mei, but also caused the will of 70 billion people around the world to freeze for 2 seconds, halting the operation of the Stigmata Project for a moment.
At this moment, Mei gripped the [Beacon] tightly in her hand, its pointer spinning wildly.
"...Alicia"
When Mei opened her eyes, she realized that she was in a completely unfamiliar world.
She looked down at the compass in her hand again.
This backdoor, which was considered a "gift," had been Mei's top priority for some time, and it also subtly ignited a kind of greed for "seeing each other again."
Now that they've arrived in this space, the beacon in their hands finally has a "signal".
"Kakaka..."
After the pointer spun unnaturally a few times, a familiar sound came from it—
At that very moment, Mei realized how wishful thinking she had been in misunderstanding its functionality.
"Qiang Qiang~"
"Hi~ Did you miss me?"
"Um... let me learn from you..."
A cute girl's voice came through, but it was Velvet imitating Alicia's tone.
“…Vilvie,” Mei let out a deep breath.
This was not a response to Vilvie, but a helpless sigh.
Because she knew that Vilvi wasn't greeting her.
This is... a recording that Virvi left for Alicia.
-
"We're sorry, this is the only way we can leave you a message... Alicia"
"By the time you receive this message, we—or rather, most of the people you know—will likely no longer exist."
"However, you shouldn't be too sad, right?"
"...When we remember your passing, we don't always have to cry."
"Ah... although I am indeed rambling on about these things..."
"But once you've returned to the [Cocoon]... you might not even have a personality anymore..."
"However... this won't stop me from doing this."
"I know—not being able to witness the changes in the world because of you must be your biggest regret."
"And so... I borrowed this [back door] from you, from our successors."
"You, existing in paradise, have already achieved your desires in some way, so I don't want you [here] to be neglected."
"Therefore, through this [back door], I will synchronize all of the inheritor's memories of the [world] with you—"
"After this, stars will shine, for I have now been here."
"Afterwards, a hundred flowers will bloom, for I have never left."
"—You did it!"
