Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

[I still can't accept it. 】

[I can't accept someone dying in front of me. 】

[Almost unconsciously, "Seele" stood up slowly, and the camera hanging on her chest swayed slowly with her movements. 】

[A few tears drip down the cheeks. 】

【In her dark blue eyes, the previously clear and bright light seemed to be gradually becoming distorted. 】

[The previous dark blue was gradually replaced by a slightly hollow pale gold. 】

[She holds out her hand. 】

【No, at this moment, what is being driven by her is not her hand, but the wide pure white wings extending from her back at some unknown time. 】

【...】

[At this time, you, the leader of the "Masquerade Ball", are holding a drawing board in your arms and a paintbrush in your hand. 】

[Just finished the work gap, you are using the brush to turn the photo that Seele just shared with you into a work presented in the form of painting. 】

[Painting is not just about copying the shape of things, the most important thing is to integrate personal emotions into it. 】

[In your opinion, human emotion is the core of all art in this world, and it is also the greatest art. 】

[You seldom think too much when painting, and rely more on the emotions surging in your heart to outline your brushstrokes on the drawing paper in the most free way. 】

[After all, painting, for you, is not actually work, but entertainment. 】

[Suddenly, it seems that the hand trembled slightly inadvertently, causing an extremely abrupt line to appear on the painting that was almost completed. 】

【Your strokes paused slightly, and you frowned. 】

【The pen in your hand was unconsciously put aside, you raised your hand and gently pressed the center of your brow. 】

[This is the first time that you are aware of such throbbing in your consciousness. 】

[You quickly realize what this throbbing feeling is. 】

[Because the "saints" in the masquerade party, the initial seeds of their power essentially come from you. 】

[What's more, you can also make your mind and others communicate with each other to a certain extent. 】

[So, spiritually, it is not impossible that there will be a slight connection between you and them. 】

【Then, the throbbing feeling now probably means that one of the "saints" has undergone an extremely drastic change in his mental state. 】

[It is possible that this represents the application of consciousness, from the current state, to the third stage. 】

[However, even if there is such a possibility, it is hard for you to believe that things in this world can be so smooth. 】

[You try to contact the various "saints" of the "masquerade party". 】

[Among the 12 people, whether it is the few who are in the research institute at the moment, or the saints who are carrying out the mission of crusade against Honkai all over the world, they all responded within a very short time. 】

【You are silent, looking at the communication device in your hand. 】

[But in fact, today's "masquerade party" has completed the existence of consciousness activation. It is reasonable to say that there should be 14 people. 】

【Now, even the rest of the people can get in touch...】

[However, Miss Seele, who is the preparer, has never been able to be contacted. 】

[You seem to be aware of something in a trance, and you are going to let the nearest "saint" go to Seele's previous location in the shortest possible time. 】

【but......】

[At this time, you received the information shared by Flame Chasing Moth. 】

[The sixth Great Crash broke out, and traces of the sixth Herrscher have been observed. 】

【You are silent, looking at the posture of the Sixth Herrscher in the information. 】

【The pure white wings that block out the sky and reveal the meaning of holiness and purity. 】

【And, as the starting point of the pair of pure white wings, the girl's figure. 】

[The girl with short dark blue hair was kneeling on the ground, her figure was extremely small compared to the huge wings. 】

【Pale golden eyes appear a little hollow. 】

【Her hands are clasped in front of her chest, as if she is praying quietly. 】

【You stood there speechless, looking at the figure of the Sixth Herrscher on the screen. 】

【Seele.】

【That's Seele, but it's not Seele anymore.】

[Even if the picture is not so clear, you can still recognize it. 】

【Seele her...】

[With a "distorted" posture, he became a Herrscher. 】

【...】

[At this time, the closest to the Sixth Herrscher is the Fire Chasing Moth's troops. 】

[In the original situation, facing the newly born Herrscher, after carefully testing its strength, the entire Fire Moth must discuss the countermeasures, and then start the real crusade. 】

[But this time, in this combat team, there are currently the strongest fighters in the Moth of the Fire Chaser. 】

【That is the winner of the Fusion Warrior Project, Kevin. 】

【but......】

[The expression on the fusion fighter's face is obviously not that optimistic. 】

[The boy with white hair and blue eyes stood quietly, looking up at the figure of the enemy in the distance. 】

[It is a pair of white wings that look holy and beautiful, covering the sky and the sun. 】

[Sometimes stretched out, sometimes curled up, it looks soft and lacks lethality. 】

[However, Kevin stared at the pair of wings with unspeakable dignity. 】

【His gaze is slightly deflected, and he looks at the buildings near the birthplace of the Sixth Herrscher. 】

【——That is simply a work of art with the theme of "distortion", but this work of art really challenges the limit of human thinking ability. 】

[The roof that should have been on the top of the building appeared on the ground floor inexplicably, the built-in elevator was suspended outside, the wall that should have been straight showed a strange spiral upward posture, and the wall that should have been used as interior decoration appeared on the exterior wall of the building . 】

[If you want to use the human body as an analogy, it is like a person's intestines grow out of the head as a braid, and the mouth grows on the stomach, and at the same time the arms extend out of the big mouth opened in the stomach. 】

【Kevin gritted his teeth, resisting the sudden chill in his heart. 】

【——It’s not that he has rich associative ability, or that his heart is too fragile, but that this is the miserable posture of the people who were laboriously rescued before and affected by the ability of the Sixth Herrscher. 】

[What's even more frightening is that the human beings who have turned into such a terrifying posture have not yet died. 】

[In other words, if you only consider the state of life, you will be extraordinarily healthy in all aspects. 】

[However, with such an appearance, it can also be said that life is worse than death. 】

[The ability of this newly born Herrscher doesn't seem to be that terrifyingly destructive on the surface. 】

[However, when this kind of power acts on human beings, its specific manifestations are really torturing the limit of human psychological endurance. 】

[If we say that the existence of Honkai and Herrscher is the malice of this world towards human beings. 】

[Then, what kind of malice was born with such a distorted ability and the Herrscher who possessed it? 】

[Kevin couldn't help but have such a question in his mind. 】

[But no matter what, since the Herrscher is the enemy of mankind. 】

【Then, as a warrior who chases flames, but also as a knight who wants to protect the one he loves, he must defeat the enemy in front of him. 】

【Kevin raised his hand and touched the headset in his ear, listening carefully to the intelligence analysis from the headset. 】

[Facing a Herrscher whose specific abilities are unknown, even if he has enough confidence in his own strength, it is impossible to act rashly. 】

[At least you must have a basic understanding of the enemy's capabilities, and know how to deal with it. 】

【otherwise......】

【Even if he is a fusion fighter, the final result is probably just a death in vain. 】

[Fortunately, at this time, the Sixth Herrscher doesn't seem to be going to other places to wreak havoc. 】

[She just stood at the place where she was first born, as if she was a god full of malice. With the seemingly holy wings behind her, she wantonly modified the surrounding buildings or other existences gradually to become more distorted and terrifying, challenging human cognition attitude. 】

【...】

【"Seele", standing quietly in place at this moment. 】

【As if feeling a little uncomfortable, she moved her wings slightly. 】

【The light in those golden eyes flickered on and off, almost dissipating, but it was still there after all, just like candles flickering in the wind. 】

【At the same time, there seemed to be a dazzling light gathering and congealing on her chest, almost turning into substance, but it was difficult to truly form after all under some kind of resistance. 】

【What are you doing now? 】

【She subconsciously thought about this question, but in the end all she could gain was confusion. 】

[In my mind, almost fragmented information is barely pieced together. 】

【—I am waiting. 】

【What are you waiting for? 】

[...waiting...go back. 】

【She lowered her head, her blank eyes fell on the camera hanging on her chest, and the thoughts in her mind seemed to gradually become clearer. 】

[I want to be like everyone else. 】

【Then, go back to everyone. 】

【Now, I should be considered...successful, right? 】

[But, I want to go back, where to go? 】

【She thought about this question, but found it difficult to get an answer. 】

【——It seems that her real consciousness has no time to take care of her thinking, and now what guides her to think about these issues in her mind is just a few fragments of consciousness. 】

【Her eyes became dazed again. 】

【Myself, where do I want to go back? 】

[In the girl's pale golden eyes, a fragile and vague light like a candle flickers slowly. 】

[In the next instant, she seemed to have an answer. 】

[Where to return to, this question does not seem to be important. 】

[If I wait here, someone should come to find me, and someone will come to pick me up, right? 】

【go back......】

【Back to the place where I really belong...】

[Someone will come to take me back to the place where I really belong. 】

[The girl lowered her head, and the dark blue hair on her temples fell silently. 】

【Her hands are quietly holding the camera hanging on her chest. 】

【this......】

【Is it important? 】

【Her heart is slightly at a loss. 】

[She no longer pays attention to this question and raises her head. 】

[So, when will someone come to pick me up? 】

【As if feeling some anticipation, the girl stepped forward gently. 】

【—Actually, she doesn't know where she should go at this moment, nor does she subconsciously feel that the person who comes back to pick her up will come from. 】

【but......】

[This is the first time her position has moved since the sixth collapse. 】
