Immediately afterwards, a flashback scene appeared in the game—
Kosmo found Velvi and asked her to use her [Mind Splitting] ability to help Kosmo retain a part of his consciousness in an independent partition, in order to mitigate the impact of Kosmo's [Overweight Transformation] on his mind.
But Vervier said that doing so would come at a high cost.
Kosmo's "Overweight Transformation" is equivalent to a complete corruption, which is irreversible.
For example -
26. [Mind Segmentation] is equivalent to splitting Kosmo into two individuals.
One of them is the rational Kosmo, who serves as a backup.
The other Kosmo is responsible for [Overweight Transformation].
As the [Overweight Transformation] Kosmo gradually loses its sense of self, its only fate is to be completely destroyed and deleted.
In other words, when Kosmo is split into two parts by his mind, he has completely abandoned the part of his overweight transformation.
That cannot be reversed.
This is roughly the meaning of this memory fragment.
Although the players were a little confused, they managed to understand it to some extent.
This must be some kind of foreshadowing, right?
……
Then, the scene finally returned to the Herrscher of Corruption.
Unfortunately, there was no great battle between Sakura and the Herrscher of Corruption.
Players felt both regret and relief.
While I'm somewhat interested in seeing a battle between the two, I also don't want to witness Sakura's death again.
That's just too cruel.
"Don't worry, Sakura~"
"As long as I am not dead, you can live forever~"
This is not a lie, but the true thoughts of the Herrscher of Corruption.
Out of a learned kind of love, she brought everything she faced to an end.
With a long exhale, Sakura's data was completely digested by the Herrscher of Corruption.
In the somewhat twisted view of the Herrscher of Corruption's "love," Sakura will live on with her forever.
As for Sakura, her final moment... vanished forever...
"Next..."
After silently considering it over in her mind, the Herrscher of Erosion decided to first create a "beautiful illusion" for Sakura.
"My sister is safe and sound... a world that hasn't collapsed... an afternoon when cherry blossoms are in full bloom..."
For the Herald of Corruption, weaving a dream does not take much time.
After all... what Sakura wanted was nothing more than something that could only be described as "tiny".
In their time, any desire that exceeded these limits would have seemed far too unrealistic.
but……
They never received even a tiny bit.
This passage of text evoked immense sympathy from the players.
The girls in the studio felt even more frustrated.
Perhaps it's because the characters in Honkai Impact 3rd are based on their templates, which makes the sense of immersion stronger.
Compared to the characters in the game, they are incredibly happy in real life.
My job is something I love, and I have a group of sisters who are not relatives, but are closer than relatives.
Their wish—to operate a game loved by countless people—has already been fulfilled.
The happiest thing would be to live a simple and peaceful life with my sisters and Mo Li from now on.
A world without collapse... that's wonderful.
In comparison, they felt even more sorry for "them" in the game.
…………
"Alright, Sakura, isn't living like this a bit more compassionate?"
"Hey……"
"I really don't understand. Since she and I are both Alicia... and our goal is the same: to ensure your survival..."
"To preserve oneself along with others, rather than sacrificing oneself, should clearly be called 'the best of both worlds,' you..."
Why be so stubborn?
After grumbling in her heart for a while, the Herrscher of Corruption decided to continue "pursuing" Mei.
After that, the game perspective switched to the normal control mode.
At this moment, Kiana was surprised to discover...
The character she controls is actually... the Herrscher of Corruption!
"Next, I'm actually supposed to control the Herrscher of Corruption?!"
Kiana was very surprised.
At the same time, a truly ingenious idea popped into her head.
Can I commit suicide?
Meiyi: "..."
Unfortunately, he could not commit suicide.
And what happens next...
"Hey……"
She sighed, but at the same time, she felt a faint sense of anticipation.
All I can say is... that knife was a bit too sharp.
……
in the game.
Kiana controlled the Herrscher of Corruption to keep jumping towards the "cliff edge".
Unfortunately, there's an invisible wall blocking the way.
Seeing Kiana's adorable and innocent expression, the viewers in the live chat were thoroughly amused.
"Damn it..." Kiana puffed out her cheeks angrily, "Couldn't they have included an Easter egg, like letting the Herrscher of Corruption die?"
With no other option, she could only continue chasing Mei, following the game's storyline.
And then she controlled the Herrscher of Corruption to walk through a door.
"Alright... Mei, I'm almost catching up with you~"
The screen went black.
As the Herald of Corruption stepped through the door, a sudden wave of sorrow washed over him.
"Well……"
The Herald of Corruption clutched his heart, his eyes wide open.
"How...how could this be...this feeling is..."
This most powerful being in the Land of Bygone Days was almost unable to control himself due to this sudden surge of emotion.
However, this feeling was not her true intention.
"...Is this Alicia's feeling? What happened?"
As an omniscient being, the Herrscher of Corruption quickly determined the cause—
A huge birdcage rose from the ground, confining her and another person inside.
She looked at that thin, yet magnificent figure.
"So it was you..."
Kosmo...
But...why?
Why did I feel such extreme sadness just now?
Unable to understand the reason, the Herald of Corruption could only put it aside.
