Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

[No. 20 seconds of the final Herrscher's subjective time perception, your consciousness split body is almost completely wiped out, leaving only 980 binary bodies. 】

【Final Herrscher was going to continue to destroy it, but at this moment, the remaining split consciousness suddenly collapsed. 】

[Unexpectedly, the thinking of the final Herrscher almost stagnated slightly at the scene at this time. 】

【Those majestic and holy golden pupils silently stared at the spiritual light that was gradually dimming and extinguishing like fireflies that surrounded her. 】

[Continue to execute——]

[It should be so. 】

[However, the situation in her perception seems to have changed slightly. 】

['Human', retrieval failed. 】

[Unexpected situation, search again. 】

[Retrieval failed. 】

[Determine the logic of your own thinking. 】

[Determined to be normal. 】

[The Herrscher of the End's golden pupil turned his eyes slightly, looking at the blue planet in the distance. 】

[Confirmed, the number of hostile target individuals is zero. 】

[Confirmed, human beings have been successfully destroyed. 】

[Determine the newborn population. 】

[The judgment attribute is 'imaginary number', and the total category of the group is 'Honkai', which is not applicable to the Honkai screening mechanism. 】

[Astonishing even to himself, the Herrscher of the End raised his hand wordlessly, as if he wanted to touch the gradually dissipating shattered starlight flying around his body with his fingers. 】

[Identified abnormal behavioral logic, self-investigation, error has been retrieved, and correction is performed. 】

[Correction completed. 】

[At this time, on Earth. 】

[Wildness everywhere. 】

【The gray-haired girl fell to the ground, a look of struggle flashed in her dull eyes. 】

[Surroundings, countless broken mechanical components are scattered on the ground, including the wreckage of several God's Keys. 】

[In her mind, there are two sentences flashing non-stop. 】

[Mission, stop Alicia. 】

[Request, stop Alicia. 】

[Alicia bent down and picked up the core of Herrscher of the Sky that fell on the ground. 】

【She looked expressionless, but she clenched her teeth tightly, as if she was afraid that she would show any expression, or she was worried that her tears would fall. 】

【She tried not to set her eyes on Prometheus. 】

【Must, must find that guy——! 】

[This idea has almost become an obsession in her heart. 】

[Do it anyway, do it no matter what. 】

【No one can stop it, no matter who is standing in front of me. 】

【Absolutely find that guy, ask him personally, stop him no matter what—】

【Alicia looked up at the sky, gritted her teeth tightly, and desperately suppressed the tears that were about to roll from her eyes. 】

【Holding the core of the Herrscher of the Sky in her hand, trying to resonate with the core of the Herrscher. 】

[The time delay is too long. 】

[It's been more than ten hours, it may be too late now - from a normal point of view, normal people should have this kind of cognition. 】

[But now, Alicia has no time to think about this, or is unwilling to think about it. 】

【All she can think of is to find that guy as soon as possible, tell him to stop immediately no matter what he is doing, wake everyone up immediately, and absolutely let him do it no matter what! 】

[For this reason, even killing that guy is not hesitating. 】

[For this reason, even if you are an enemy of anyone who stands in front of you, you will not hesitate. 】

【Absolutely absolutely absolutely—! 】

【Everyone I love must not die in this way. 】

[I absolutely do not allow it! 】

[The core of the Herrscher of the Sky reluctantly sends a response. 】

[Alicia pursed her lips, mobilized her strength again, and prepared to use the core power of the Herrscher of the Sky to teleport herself directly to the moon. 】

[However, at this moment. 】

【Prometheus raised his fingertips hard, as if he wanted to regain control of his body from this tiny movement. 】

【warn--!Combat Module Guidance Module has been destroyed! 】

【warn--!The logic analysis module is overloaded, suspends work, and the damage rate of forced startup is 73%! 】

【warn--!The external furnace core is overheated, please cool down in time! 】

【warn--!Nervous system damage has reached 33%!Please fix it now! 】

【warn--!The body damage rate has reached 55%, please repair it immediately! 】

【warn--!The energy is too low to maintain the basic energy supply. Please keep the energy consumption low and look for external energy supplies quickly! 】

[The emergency siren from the AI ​​part of her mind was completely ignored by her. 】

[The core of the Herrscher of the Sky in Alicia's hand began to emit a purple and strange light, preparing to teleport her directly to the moon. 】

[However, at this time, there was an extremely weak force from the ankle. 】

[Alysia lowered her head with a numb expression, looking at her feet. 】

[It seems that it is Prometheus's hand that is trying to hold his ankle, but the strength of that hand seems to be extremely slight even in comparison with a newborn baby. 】

[This kind of strength is not so much trying to grab yourself to prevent yourself from leaving, it's better to say it's just a touch. 】

[Alysia's expression was a little numb, looking at the dust and blood stains on her ankles following Prometheus' movements. 】

[The next moment, tears rolled down unstoppably from Alicia's big blue eyes. 】

【"Let go of your hands, Prometheus." Alicia said in an almost pleading tone. 】

【Obviously, with the remaining strength of Prometheus at this time, even ordinary children may be able to break away easily. 】

[However, it stopped Alicia's actions. 】

[Ye, why on earth are you doing this...]

【Ye, ​​Prometheus, why did our relationship become like this...】

[For fear that her actions would inadvertently cause Prometheus to be injured again at this time, Alicia broke free from Prometheus' shackles with extremely careful movements, and reconnected with the core of the Herrscher in her hand. 】

【Then, that weak hand held her ankle again without giving up. 】

[Why is it like this...]

【Why do we have to be hostile to each other. 】

【Why the people I love and the things I cherish are destroyed by the people I love the same. 】

【Why do I only see destruction and dilapidation in my eyes? Those things that I cherished in the past have all been turned into ashes and dust. 】

【Why......】

【Alysia lowered her head, looked at the weak hand that was still holding on to her ankle, tears streaming down her eyes. 】

【Prometheus, I really never wanted to hurt you...】

【For you, you should be an existence that I should protect no matter what. 】

[However, why do we have to face this situation? 】

【Why, tell me, ye...】

【The last weak strength of the hands that restrained Alicia's ankles also quietly disappeared. 】

[Alysia burst into tears instantly, looked up at the sky, gritted her teeth, trying to stop crying. 】

[It was too late to think too much, she quickly used the power emanating from the Herrscher of the Sky core in her hand to send herself to the moon. 】

【She didn't notice that at that moment, Prometheus' eyes seemed to have completely lost their previous special light. 】

【As if...has completely lost the reason to keep that special light in her eyes. 】

[Prometheus fell to the ground, just allowing the broken self-repair system in his body to function and repair his body. 】

[In those big dull gray eyes, hot water drops quietly fell, along the side of the face and fell to the ground, merging with the dust and soil. 】

[I can't feel it anymore. 】

【Disappeared. 】

[Completely disappeared. 】

[There is no sign of his existence at all. 】

【Tears slipped down the side of his face quietly, and Prometheus felt the sudden emptiness in his heart without words. 】

【why......】

【Obviously promised me. 】

【Obviously I have already promised. 】

【You promised me that you would take me to the highest mountain in Antarctica to see the aurora. 】

【You promised me that you would take me to touch the grizzly bear in the forest of the Northland. 】

【You promised me that we will hunt by the lake in the prairie. 】

【You promised me...】

[But now, the Antarctic where we agreed to go has sunk into the sea and disappeared. 】

[But now, the forest where we met to walk together is already withered, and corpses are everywhere. 】

[But now, the grassland we promised to be with has no vitality and is barren everywhere. 】

[Even so, I only feel a little lost. 】

【but now......】

【Even you who promised me these things have completely disappeared, I can't find any trace of you......】

[Unable to understand, unacceptable. 】

【Our agreement has all come to nothing before we know it. 】

[It shouldn't be like this. 】

[It shouldn't be like this. 】

【"Then what am I?"】

【"You are the weapon that I created to continue human civilization, with the power of the Herrscher of Reason."】

【"I... am not human?"】

【"No, at least not yet. But if you wish, then you may be."】

【"I don't know."】

【"It doesn't matter, you have just been born. Even if it is not clear now, you will understand sooner or later...in your own way."】

[I understand, I have already understood. 】

【So, I chose to be human. 】

[But this choice, was it just a mistake from the very beginning? 】

【Yes. 】
