Honkai Impact 3rd: Starting with creating an anime version of Honkai Impact 3rd

"Original body?"

“The true form is nothing mysterious.” Otto’s smile faded considerably when he mentioned the true form, and his eyes were filled with a look of reminiscence, as if he were recalling something.

“I have lived for over five hundred years… and my true form, from beginning to end, has been nothing more than a shadow called ‘Saintess’.”

“Five, more than five hundred years?” Joyce was shocked.

“It’s nothing… just making a pact with a demon.” Otto propped his head up, his expression utterly broken. “Besides, if it were you… you wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble.”

"Uh...what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, you are actually much more likely to live for another five hundred years than I am. But that's not the point today. What I really want to say is that your true form, if guided correctly, is a hundred times stronger than mine."

"Me? Better than you?"

"Yes, you are better than me."

Otto suddenly quoted Karl Marx, as if he were offering Joyce some guidance, or perhaps expressing his own inner thoughts.

"Does Otto really want Joyce to be his successor at this moment?" Einstein frowned, somewhat confused by Otto's actions, and even unable to discern whether he was sincere or not.

“It’s definitely fake. If Otto really wanted Joyce to be his successor, how could he have created Anti-Entropy later on?!” Tesla put away his iron fist.

Edison joked, "Joyce, what are your feelings and thoughts about taking a bath with Otto?"

Joyce shook her head.

As Otto was rambling on, the bathhouse lights suddenly went out, interrupting his reverie. Otto remarked sarcastically, "Ha, the World War ended ten years ago, and the electricity supply in the suburbs of London is still so unromantic?"

Otto stood up: "You stay here and don't move. I'll go ask the landlady for some lighting."

"No need."

"Ok?"

Joyce stood up and walked past Otto in the darkness by the moonlight.

“If you really intend to convince me to do anything, then please don’t be so self-righteous next time.” Joyce didn’t even look at Otto’s expression. “You know absolutely nothing, Your Excellency.”

"...Where...did I say something wrong?"

“No, you didn’t actually say anything wrong, but that’s precisely why—” Joyce said firmly, “that makes it even more… impossible for me to believe you right now.”

"Is that so?" Otto smiled slightly. "Well... let time give you the answer."

"Farewell."

"Goodbye, my friend."

“Joyce, you’re so cool, especially the way you rejected Otto!” Tesla seemed to have forgotten how he had threatened Joyce earlier. He sat down next to Joyce and laughed heartily.

"Really?" Joyce was a little confused.

"A little," Einstein said with a smile.

"Hehe." Unlike his reaction to Tesla, Joyce scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

“Joyce, don’t you feel like Otto is taking advantage of you?” Edison suddenly said.

"Have it?"

Planck shook his head, stood up, and said, "You stay here and don't move. I'll go buy you some oranges."

“Planck, I’ll go with you.” Edison quickly stood up, afraid of being included.

“Planck, remember to pick the sweetest one.” Joyce didn’t understand the meaning behind those words.

Chapter 148 The Tragic Erosion of a Pre-Civilization (4K)

After leaving the bathhouse, Joyce encountered the hotel owner, Margarita Ayet, in the corridor and was pulled into a room.

The red-haired landlady looked apologetic, explaining that due to the power outage, his clothes hadn't had time to dry, and Joyce was going back to Lab 42 the next day...

"I didn't bring an extra jacket!"

She pulled out a men's jacket from behind her back, apologetically admitting it was her fault. Joyce put it on and found that the men's jacket fit her exceptionally well.

"Oh, by the way, here's a gift that another guest left for you."

"Another guest?"

"That...is her name Fu Hua? She said she's your friend."

Joyce looked at the pepper spray Fu Hua had left him, puzzled.

"Pfft." Xiao Shi couldn't help but laugh: "The pepper spray that the old man left for Joyce, could it be for Otto?"

“Very likely! After all, who would have thought that Otto would actually ‘ambush’ the bathhouse, and even call it ‘being honest and open’?” Kiana agreed.

Xilin's mouth dropped open in surprise: "Paramecium, you actually used the idiom correctly?! The sun didn't rise in the west today!"

"What are you saying!" Kiana shoved Sirin in an annoyed tone.

"Your Majesty, I suspect there's something fishy going on here!"

"Fu Hua wouldn't be so bored as to use pepper spray on Otto against Joyce, would she?"

"There's definitely something wrong with this proprietress; how could it possibly fit perfectly?"

"Could it be that Otto sent them?"

"Bella, I'm thirsty!" Sirin called out.

Bella, who was washing clothes, wiped her hands on her apron, took out ice cubes that had been frozen in the refrigerator, took out three tall glasses, put the ice cubes in, and then poured in ice-cold cola.

Pick up the tray.

If you ignore the fact that she's wearing a slightly dirty apron, she has the air of an elegant maid.

The holiday ended, and back in Lab 42, they immediately went to find Aida. After Aida deciphered the encrypted information on the Soul Steel, the first thing they saw was a string of English words.

“Follow the Freedom Trail.then visit Lexingtom in the midnight.”

Translated as: Travel along the path of freedom, and then visit Lexington at midnight.

The subsequent video footage shows a slightly older "H·A" revealing her identity to everyone across the barrier of time.

Her original surname was Mortier, a descendant of Gilbert du Mortier, Marquis de Lafayette, who was also a "godfather" in the business world.

Based on the latest clues left by "H·A", they didn't even have time to rest and immediately headed to the "Road to Freedom". Through Aida's translation, they analyzed the audio records left by the previous civilization.

"If people from other civilizations discover these materials in the future, I hope to leave them a complete story."

It is worth mentioning that this audio file left behind by the previous civilization was recorded by Ya Qing himself, and it is in his own voice.

"The more human civilization develops, the stronger the forces of decay become."

"Every time the Honkai gives birth to a Herrscher, humanity has to pay a huge price to defeat it."

"The law of reason, the law of emptiness, the law of thunder, the law of wind, creation and destruction, domination and constraint."

"Before the recent events, after being ravaged by more than ten world wars, nearly 70% of our cities had already been destroyed..."

"However... compared to the event I'm about to record, everything before is nothing but a drop in the ocean."

The audio recording that followed was unsettling. In a certain base, there was a girl whose body was undergoing a violent reaction of Honkai energy. Unlike other Herrschers, she had no desire to destroy and only wanted to go home.

However, one day, people who took it upon themselves to storm into the prison and brutally murder the girl. But to everyone's surprise, the Twelfth Herrscher's power only began to manifest when the girl died.

"The Herald of Corruption, a self-aware infectious virus that is not only biological but also electronic."

The Herrscher of Corruption's abilities infiltrated various electronic systems networks, controlling all the missiles in the base and launching them at their last remaining city.

During the longest period of human history, this terrifying Herrscher was sealed inside a black box through a certain doctor's plan, at the cost of... the extinction of civilization.

"Hmm?" Mei looked at Mebius with a half-smile.

Mebius felt uncomfortable being stared at and said irritably, "Watch a show, why are you looking at me?"

“Mébius, have you forgotten something?” Mébius reminded him with a smile. “For example, the stakes?”

"What bet..." Mebius didn't react at first, but after being nudged by Ya Qing, he remembered the bet he made with Mebius when they watched Honkai Impact 2: The Second Great Collapse.

If a Herrscher appears who can control nuclear missile silos, Mebius will wear the pink dress Alicia gave her and will never go back on her word.

Thinking of this, Mebius silently reached out and twisted the soft flesh on Ya Qing's waist.

Ya Qing's face was calm, but if you looked closely, you could see that the corners of his mouth were twitching slightly.

“Oh right~ Professor Möbius~, you promised, you will never go back on your word~” Alicia also remembered this.

"Senior Mebius, you're not planning to go back on your word, are you?" Mebius asked with a smile.

"Hmph, don't try to provoke me with that kind of simple provocation." Mebius crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Fine, I'll wear it, but I don't even know where I threw that dress away a long time ago."

“I think I’ve seen it before.” The cunning Ya Qing rubbed the soft flesh around her waist and said deliberately, “When I first came back, I saw Pado’s collection in the closet and happened to see that dress.”

Mebius glared at him fiercely.

"Won't Pado find that little dress when she gets back?" Alicia clapped her hands, clearly genuinely happy.

"By the way, where did Pado go?" Su, who had been struggling to find a starting point for the conversation, finally asked.
