To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Su opened her eyes, her gaze filled with astonishment. The current civilization... is indeed somewhat different from the previous civilization!

"Hmph!" Qianjie snorted coldly.

"Hmm? Qianjie?"

"I was just thinking about something happy," Qianjie offered a perfunctory explanation.

“Alright, I’ll trust you this once,” Alicia said cheerfully. “What about Aponia? Velvet?”

While jogging slowly, panting and wiping the sweat from her forehead, Velvi reached Alicia and said, "Alicia, it's alright. After we get out, Aponia just needs to press the device in her hand, and she can come out with us."

"Who are you? Velvi?" Qianjie frowned as he looked at Velvi in ​​front of him.

"What? Is that not allowed?" Velvi said, hands on her hips. She was the real Velvi!

"Ha, how embarrassing!" Qianjie turned his head away, leaving his comment.

"You!" Vivi pointed her finger at Qianjie in anger, trembling.

"Alright, alright, this is the real Velvet, Qianjie, don't use such language," Alicia stepped in as a peacemaker.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Alicia has always been the lubricant between the heroes; all thirteen of them came together because of her.

"Let's go out first and wait for Aponia!" Alicia called to the group, and then they all headed towards the exit.

"I'll be waiting for you, Aponia!" Alicia waved behind her and laughed.

Aponia took one last look at the Land of the Dead, the home she had built over fifty thousand years by Eden, Mebius, Alicia, and...

This place was once the last place where heroes of a bygone civilization lived, and it is also a precious legacy they left to those who came after them.

She chuckled softly, recalling what she saw when Luo Mo entered, and murmured, "The future remains unchanged!"

She pressed the button, and the paradise of the past collapsed little by little, as if data was being eroded, turning into blank pages piece by piece.

"But once I get out, I won't be able to see a future anymore."

"Since Ellie wants to leave, it truly has no reason to exist."

Aponia walked devoutly step by step, the path to paradise transforming into countless points of light that flowed into her body.

After her, everything in Paradise will cease to exist.

One of the proudest achievements of the previous civilization collapsed, and the last hero, Aponia, walked toward the only door.

She whispered her last words in the crumbling world, "May we never repeat the same mistakes!"

...

"They're here! Aponia's out too!" Alicia looked at the familiar figure that appeared there, a beautiful girl in a pure white nun's habit that hugged her graceful figure. She looked up at Alicia, who was beaming with joy, the girl as radiant as a flower in full bloom.

Unconsciously, the corners of her mouth were also touched, and they curled up slightly.

She didn't know if she had escaped the shackles of fate, but the future was no longer relevant to her.

"Finally, everyone's here! So, let's set off towards the future!" Alicia said cheerfully, glancing at her companions.

“Yes, towards the future!” Hua and Aponia said.

"Hmph, siding with the screenwriter!" Qian Jie, who was coldly crossing his arms, chimed in.

Alicia's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything more.

She was thinking, "Now I have no choice but to go to the company?"

Chapter 54 Separation and Reunion

Before the last door to leave, the white-haired man was standing in the doorway.

His fierce, icy demeanor softened somewhat; he simply stood there quietly, bidding a silent farewell to his comrades.

"Goodbye, Kevin!?"

The first one to leave was Alicia. It wasn't the first time she had seen him, and she waved goodbye.

Then it was Aponia's turn. She bowed slightly to say goodbye, without saying anything.

"Ridiculous!" Qianjie scoffed and walked straight out.

Hua hesitated for a moment in front of her. She wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

She glanced at Kevin in the identical paradise behind her. Compared to him, the Kevin in front of her was excessively cold, his eyes filled with loneliness and determination. It was less the gaze of a warrior and more the last stand of someone who had nothing left to live for.

"Hua, you have amnesia outside, so there's no need to worry about your resemblance to her."

At this moment, Kevin spoke up, perhaps out of consideration for his comrades who had worked together with the current civilization, and he offered words of comfort.

Hua Moran could only nod and walk out.

Su opened his eyes, looked at his friend in front of him, confirmed his mental state, and sighed.

He said, "We will always be best friends!"

As he spoke, he raised his fist and gently tapped his shoulder.

This was Kevin's favorite move back then, and Sue just thought he was childish.

But now that Kevin no longer made that gesture, he felt even more sorrowful. He closed his eyes again and stepped out of the room.

Kevin froze for a moment, and his expression changed.

With Sue gone, only the two Kevins remained, staring at each other.

They were the same person, but with completely different experiences and missions; they should never have met again in their lives.

But fate, in its cruel irony, arranged their meeting.

"I won't comfort you, because I know what losing Mei means to you."

A cold voice rang out, and Kevin from Paradise said, "World, and her, fate has already made the choice for you."

"Heh—take care." The voice of the man standing by the door rang out. He looked up at the ceiling.

He didn't want to see himself in paradise, because it always reminded him of the past.

"I also admire you, carrying on with her goals," he said as the two Kevins crossed paths.

Even though Kevin and May's memories in Paradise were deliberately reduced, the 50,000 years spent with their companions further extended their perception of her over time. "At least, you can stake your life on your promise to her."

Kevin remained silent; he didn't reply. He stared at the empty hall.

They walked slowly along the way, and when they reached a high place, they sat on the throne.

When they looked out, there was no one there.

"Take care, everyone!" he whispered, as if speaking to no one in particular.

The silent hall was deserted; World Serpent had abandoned this exposed stronghold.

He had nothing but paradise.

...

Soon, the group arrived at St. Freya Island, a beautiful island surrounded by the sea, which was Theresa's pride and joy.

But for Yingjie, the biggest change was the addition of everyday life; he was no longer the same person who had remained unchanged for fifty thousand years.

"Is this where we live?" Qianjie glanced at the exquisitely maintained villa.

"Qianjie, is there something you're unhappy about?" Alicia asked helplessly, looking at Qianjie, who was seething with anger the whole way.

"Tch, so small. I'll have to see people I don't want to see every day." Qianjie glanced at Aponia walking gracefully ahead, then thought of a short, green figure, and his resentment deepened.

"But more than that, are you saying that this is where the screenwriter lives?"

"Uh...yes, you really can't forget him. But he should be at work now, so there's no need for you to be in such a hurry."

Alicia smiled and pointed to the villa next door.

Upon hearing this, Qianjie raised an eyebrow, but ultimately said nothing, and the group headed to the Golden Courtyard together.

"Speaking of which, this villa was specially prepared for us by him; it happens to have thirteen rooms."

As they approached the door, Alicia, as if struck by a thought, interjected.

"Before reaching Paradise?" Qianjie frowned and asked.

"Hmm!?" Alicia just smiled, then she quickly stepped forward, opened the door, and the scene behind the door came into everyone's view.

The decor remains understated and elegant, with exquisite and stylish items displayed on the table and numerous elegant paintings on the walls, appealing to the tastes of most people.

Inside, Eden, Mebius, Kosmo, and Paddo were also waiting.

"Hey, missed me? Your Alicia's back!?"

Eden smiled and replied, "Yes, Ellie, we're waiting for your return."

"Wow, Brother Jie, and Boss Kevin, welcome, welcome!" Pado said excitedly, feeling that her sense of security had improved like never before.

Mebius reclined lazily on the sofa, like a beautiful serpent, one hand gently resting on his cheek, his dangerous eyes half-smiling as he spoke with great interest.

"Hey, isn't this Qianjie? What brings you here? Didn't you consider that place your home?"

"If you don't want to shed another layer of skin, shut your mouth!"

She seemed furious at Mebius's words, or perhaps the two were simply at odds. Whenever she spoke to her, Qianjie's anger always flared up rapidly.

"Tch!" Mebius ignored him and looked at Kevin behind him. "Kevin? See what you've become? What do you think? You were always against me coming out, but now you've come out with me!"

“Some things...there has to be someone who has to do them. He is the savior, it is his duty.”

Kevin crossed his arms and said calmly, as if the person he was talking about had nothing to do with him, "As for you, Mebius, I will still stop you from doing things you shouldn't do."

"Tsk, how demanding." Möbius didn't press further, but instead lowered his head and asked the device in his hand, "Klein, how's the experiment going?"

"Doctor, the experiment preparations are complete." A weary voice came from inside.

Mebius stopped chatting, stood up, and put on his white lab coat. "Now that the welcome is over, I'm going to do my experiments."

Ignoring everyone's reactions, he walked towards the completed underground laboratory.

"Was this woman just welcoming us?" Qian Jie said coldly, unable to comprehend her thought process.

"Thousand Tribulations, please be polite," came Aponia's gentle voice.

"Hmph, you don't actually think that the version of yourself outside still has that kind of ability, do you?" Qianjie said irritably.
