Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

[After all, compared to fighters, a few core scientists are the real power that the fire moths can't afford to lose. 】

[Back to you in Moth Chasing Fire, continue to add the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge to the T stock solution in your hand. 】

[In this way, it will have an additional effect compared to the T-type genetic modification stock solution that you planned to release globally. 】

[That is, at the last moment, with the help of the Herrscher of Consciousness, he can control the power of consciousness to create illusions, and give people the last tenderness and happiness. 】

[Although it seems that not many people are willing to accept this last tenderness and happiness. 】

[But you don't care about this kind of thing. 】

【Whether other people's actions towards you are rejection, fear, or hatred, you will not change what you really want to do because of this. 】

【only......】

[I think of Alicia, I think of Kevin, I think of Mei, I think of Mebius, I think of the many fighters who are still persevering in Moth of the Fire...]

【You realize that at least you shouldn't be the one who kills the hope of mankind with your own hands. 】

[For now, you still think so. 】

[Whether the resistance of human beings has ended, it is not you who can decide this, but reality. 】

[Since human beings still have the hope of fighting against destruction and will not give up the tomorrow that belongs to human beings, then you may... you should believe them. 】

[Yes, you are willing to believe them, and believe that human beings still have a chance. 】

【So, you temporarily sealed up the finished adjusted version of the T-virus stock solution, and sincerely hoped in your heart that all your previous efforts for this would be useless. 】

[Then, start research on the core of the Ninth Herrscher. 】

[This Herrscher was originally called the Herrscher of Rock because of her actions that shook the entire Mu Continent and her previous performance. 】

[But after realizing that its ability is actually gravity, and witnessing the astonishing performance of pulling the comet to attack the earth, its identification name was officially changed to Star Herrscher. 】

[The authority controlled by the Herrscher of the Stars is the four basic forces in the universe. 】

[And compared to the strong interaction force and weak interaction force acting inside the nucleus, as well as the electromagnetic interaction force mainly generated in the microscopic field, gravity is a long-range force. 】

[Its scope of action is sufficient to exert influence across the vast sea of ​​stars. 】

[It can be said that this is an amazing power both in terms of upper limit and usage. 】

[However, you just did simple data collection and handed it over to Wei Wei. 】

[After all, you are no longer thinking about creating a controllable Herrscher to increase the odds of winning for humans. 】

[Compared to these things, you plan to spend more time on the research of the Houkai energy transformation technology in the next few days. 】

[As much as possible, increase the amount of energy absorbed by a single Moonlight Throne device, and reduce its manufacturing difficulty. 】

[In this way, the Moonlight Throne equipment can be produced as quickly as possible, and the deployment of the Moonlight Throne can be completed. 】

【You have decided to trust humans and give humans another chance. 】

[Since this is the case, what you can do as a human being is to contribute your own strength and find ways to increase the possibility of human victory as much as possible. 】

[Six hours later, a huge comet fell from the sky and crashed at the South Pole. 】

[Different from ordinary meteorites that entered the earth and were captured by the earth, this comet was guided by some kind of strong gravitational force and fell here. 】

[Therefore, the power that erupts will be even greater than under normal circumstances. 】

[People nearby have already evacuated far away, but even thousands of kilometers away can still clearly see the signs of the impact force erupting. 】

[Then, the structure of the Antarctic continent was shaken, the plate began to slip slightly, and the sea water gradually rose. 】

[It won't take long before even the highest mountain in Antarctica will be submerged by sea water. 】

[Thousand kilometers away from the place where the comet fell, the gray-haired girl's dull eyes silently watched the mushroom-shaped smoke caused by the impact. 】

[The sky not far away is outlining a gorgeous aurora. 】

【She knows that with her personality as a creator, unless she can complete all the things she needs to do, she won't be in the mood to come here to play or enjoy the scenery. 】

[And before the Honkai is officially resolved, the Antarctic continent may have completely sunk below sea level. 】

【Prometheus was silent, stood there quietly for a while, then turned and left. 】

【After all, for her, if she is the only one standing here, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it doesn't mean anything. 】

[Before, she just followed orders and participated in the war between humans and Houkai with an attitude like a tool. 】

[But at this moment, Prometheus really realized his aversion to Honkai, a large-scale disaster for human beings. 】

[Actually, many people choose to fight against Honkai for this reason. 】

[Not because the collapse is the enemy of mankind, but because the disaster of the collapse will destroy the things that people cherish. 】

【You are experimenting with Honkai transformation technology. Behind you, the door of the research institute slowly opens. 】

【It was Prometheus who walked in. 】

[At this time, she can't see anything wrong on the surface, and the excessively consumed Honkai Energy has also been replenished. 】

[It still has the super sci-fi feeling surrounded by countless mechanical components, the gray hair woven into a double-helix ponytail flicks slightly with the steps, and the gray eyes are slightly dull. 】

["Prometheus, take a look at this design structure, and then simulate it, let me see how it works." Hearing the footsteps behind you with the same interval time, your head is shaking He ordered without replying. 】

[However, this time Prometheus did not reply immediately like before. 】

【You temporarily stop what you are doing, and look back. 】

[The grey-haired daughter, who has always been difficult to see any emotion in her demeanor in the past, is still expressionless at this time, but she exudes a very obvious low-key temperament. 】

[Also, unlike the usual eyes that look dull, but in fact, whenever you call, you will be answered immediately. 】

【Now she seems to be really in a daze.What's more, I didn't even notice your voice at all. 】

[You can feel her depression at this moment. 】

[You once promised her that you would accompany her to the peaks of the Antarctic to enjoy the beautiful aurora together, and Prometheus is also looking forward to this promise. 】

【That was the request she made to you in the name of remuneration. She finally mustered up the courage to break through the shackles of her heart. 】

[It was also with this incident, and with her initiative to propose what she wanted, that she became more human than weapons and machines. 】

[However, now, that continent is gradually sinking due to the destruction of the Herrscher, and the sea level is about to submerge the highest mountain in the Antarctic continent. 】

[You are silent for a while. 】

[It will take enough time for the seawater to completely submerge the Antarctic continent. It stands to reason that this time is enough for you to take Prometheus to travel all over Antarctica. 】

[But at this time, it is impossible for you to put down the work in your hands to calm down and enjoy the scenery. 】

【Because now you have worked so far with the will to force yourself, force yourself, and refuse to stop at all. 】

[Like an overloaded machine, it can be kept intact if it continues to work, but it may be damaged quickly if it is stopped. 】

[You think you can hold on for enough time. 】

[But if you feel the taste of relaxation, it is probably still unknown whether your mental state can still support yourself as it is now. 】

[You are willing to believe that your will is firm enough, but you don't want to overestimate yourself too much. 】

【Compared with this reason, what is more important is that you are not willing to stop at all, and you want to do the best you can. 】

[Only in this way, even if the final outcome is failure, you can have a clear conscience. 】

[Only when you work harder than other humans, you are qualified to deny human efforts until the end. 】

【In that case, you will be able to tell yourself that your declaration of human failure is not due to your inability to understand human determination and will, but because you have tried your best. 】

[Sounds like self-deception, but doing as much as you can to help win at least won't hurt. 】

【Just, for Prometheus in front of me...】

[You realize again that machines are more convenient to use than humans. 】

[In contrast, of course, having thoughts will become complicated, and it may cause unexpected situations. 】

[For example, now, Prometheus, who is distracted and at a loss due to emotional problems, if she is not a human being, but a pure machine or tool, such a thing will not happen. 】

[However, even so, you don't think it's a bad thing for Prometheus to appear in this "human" image. 】

【You pause for a while, then take off the experimental gloves you were wearing and throw them into the trash can, then turn around and look at Prometheus who is standing behind you blankly. 】

[Anyway, it's really strange to be able to clearly show a depressed aura with an obviously expressionless face. 】

【Until this time, Prometheus, who had been staring blankly at you, gradually came back to his senses. 】

["Apologies. There seems to be an unknown error in the thinking logic, and it is currently being adjusted." The gray-haired little girl spoke with a duo of mechanical electronic voice and a slightly milky soft and cute girly tone, "The order has been received, and it will be— —”]

[Prometheus said, quickly browsing the design drawing you sent to her artificial intelligence section, and then prepared to use the power of the Herrscher of Reason to imitate it for experimentation. 】

【However, you raised your hand slightly to stop her. 】

【"Prometheus..."】

【"It is indeed my fault that I can't complete the agreement with you, and I hope to make compensation. So, do you want to re-conclude the agreement with me?"]

[You reach out your hand. 】

[The gray-haired little girl was slightly taken aback, a little dazed. 】

[In your opinion, no matter what the reason is, the failure to fulfill the promise with her is ultimately due to your own fault. 】

【After all, even if the Antarctic continent is about to be submerged, it doesn't mean that you didn't have the opportunity to go there with her to see it together before then. 】

[You admit that this is your responsibility. 】

【So, naturally, I don't mind comforting her a little bit for this. 】

【Whether the purpose is to cheer her up and work in a better state, or to...】

[Perhaps, even you can't tell what kind of thoughts you have to make such a move. 】

【but......】

【Now you have done this according to your inner thoughts. 】

[And you can be sure that in the future you will not regret your current actions. 】

[In this case, it is enough. 】

[It's like you gave Prometheus the freedom to choose, whether she will be a weapon to continue human civilization in the future, or choose to become a human being. 】

【Even if the choice she made doesn't seem to be worthwhile from the perspective of profit, or as a human being, it is far less convenient than a weapon, but you still feel relieved. 】

【"Reconclude the agreement..." Prometheus was stunned for a moment, then shook his head lightly, and the double-helix ponytail made of gray hair swayed slightly with her movements. 】

[For this proposal, she declined. 】

【Because, she realized that what she wanted more than this proposal might be something else. 】

【She stretched out her hand, staring at you with dull gray eyes, and spoke in a tone without any emotion. 】

【"Proposal. Can Prometheus hold your hand?"】

【"Why?" You froze for a moment. 】

["Answer it. Prometheus once heard that when human beings touch each other's skin, they can feel each other's temperature, and they can also feel each other's emotions, as well as other wonderful things." The gray-haired girl Er replied in a slightly rigid tone. 】

【"What is the so-called emotion, Prometheus hopes to be able to feel it, and also hopes to know what the more wonderful things are, and—"]

[In the girl's words, the tone was a little blank, and at the same time, it seemed to reveal a little expectation. 】

【You froze for a moment, a little surprised what Prometheus meant. 】

[In your impression, you seem to have heard Alicia say something similar. 】

[Until now, it is still difficult for you to understand that Alicia has such complicated emotions for you. 】

[And now, Prometheus who said similar words also makes it difficult for you to guess what she meant. 】

[Sure enough, the so-called human is more unpredictable than machines or weapons, and at the same time more beautiful. 】

[You did not refuse. 】

[In any case, you have no reason to refuse—even if her real purpose is to attack you the moment she grabs your hand, you will give the same answer. 】

【"Yes." You nodded lightly and stretched out your right hand. 】

【Prometheus paused for a moment before taking a few steps forward cautiously. 】

【She stretched out two small hands, and gently held your palm, as if it was something fragile. 】

【Because she lowered her head, you can't see her expression. 】
