Genshin Impact Ratings Roundup: Otto, the Tree-Climbing Master?

It wasn't just Yingjie who felt guilty and remorseful.

Sakura's death.

This also dealt a heavy blow to Qianjie.

In this disaster.

Aponia... is undoubtedly an indirect culprit.

The enraged Thousand Calamities sought out Aponia, who had imposed the precepts—to avenge Sakura.

The masked man was throwing the corpses one by one at her feet.

That concludes the sections 53 and 54.

“Everyone of them was present when Ling died.”

“They all have the same precepts. Tell me, what are they?”

"What if you can't get the answer?"

The man pointed to the ground.

"You're next."

"You should know that I have never been afraid of death. You probably can't either."

"But if you insist that I pay the price for this, I will not refuse."

"The commandment I gave them was simple: never give up hope of fighting the Honkai. I don't know what made 017's hatred for the Herrscher reach such a fanatical level."

The man laughed coldly.

"Just like all your actions."

""

“Thousand Tribulations, I can understand everything, but I cannot control everything. I can also make mistakes.”

"The same commandment was once placed on you. You must not harm the innocent. Although that did limit your power, you have never restrained your indiscriminate killing nature."

"madness"

“Look at yourself, look at this world where no one dares to say they are innocent, Aponia.”

"But you did say one thing right, even if it was unintentional. You must pay the price for Sakura's death."

“I will kill you, today, right here.”

"But I will give you fairness. I am willing to uphold the commandment against harming the innocent once more."

"Then, give me your answer with your life or death."

And suddenly!

With the sound of a thousand tribulations.

Everyone became nervous.

The commandment not to harm the innocent.

The fifty-odd corpses that Qianjie threw down... were undoubtedly outside the realm of the innocent.

now

The one to be tested—it was none other than Aponia!

But at this very moment.

At the very moment when Qianjie was about to make his move.

Commandments.

But that did limit him.

[The Thousand Tribulations accepted the [Precepts] to judge Aponia, and the final result proved Aponia innocent.]

A short line of text.

This, however, brought a sigh of relief to countless viewers.

Although Bell's death was inextricably linked to the precepts imposed by Aponia.

He also died indirectly because of this.

but....

Aponia's original intention was definitely not to cause this tragedy.

Just as Kevin said.

Even without this unexpected incident involving the precepts.

Even if those soldiers did not lose control under fear and pressure.

The Herrscher of Corruption can still break through the limits in other ways and take over Rin's body.

The outcome will still be the same.

And after the Twelve Heralds incident.

Moths drawn to the flame, and all the rest of them.

We have to start considering...

The question of human survival.

【Project Fireseed】: Based on the premise that this generation is unlikely to defeat the Honkai, Dr. Mei established Project Fireseed to cultivate the next generation of humans as "fireseeds" to defeat the Honkai. All human embryos of this new era have been designed and implanted with genetic factors called "Stigmata" that can resist the Honkai.

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu resigned from the First Research Institute and accepted Dr. Mei's arrangement to become assistants for the "Spark Project."

The plan was entrusted to Eden, a charismatic former superstar and fusion warrior, who was given absolute autonomy as its executor.

After accepting the mission, Eden handed over the entire plan, along with his assistants Cangxuan and Danzhu, to the fusion warrior MSA-209 Hua.

"I know. But why me?"

"Yes, I understand that even in the graveyard, history is still manipulating our fate."

"What people call experience is actually a kind of prophecy."

"That's why Dr. Mei thinks I'm the most suitable person to carry out Project Fire."

"But I know that's not the case."

In Eden's gently swirling wine glass, there was a sprig of white and green bison grass.

This was her first time trying this unique spirit, but after just one sip, she knew it wasn't for her.

And the reason she's sitting here today is the same.

"Hua, the Fire Seed Project may seem to be about passing on knowledge of the past and our time to people, but in essence, it is still about pioneering a brand new era."

“And my era belongs to me, and it is right here. My stage is right here.”

"No matter how bright the future may be, it is not the place for me. There will be no place for me there."

"But why is Eden me?"

“If I leave it to someone else, they will definitely be able to do it better than I can.”

"No, Hua, you don't have to always look down on yourself like that."

“You are the brightest morning star among heroes. In terms of potential alone, none of us can compare to you.”

"You are just too young and need more experience, but we always have too little time."

"Moreover, in my view, Project Fireseed is less of a task or a mission, and more of..."

"It's more like a gift I wanted to give you." (cjde)

Eden smiled and raised his glass again.

"Hua, you and I are different. The life that truly belongs to you has not yet begun."

"And if Project Fire is to be implemented, then one of us must step into a new era..."

"Then I would hope that person is you."

"You should be yourself there, and live a life that belongs to you, to Hua, not Yingjie."

"They are assistants arranged by Dr. May to help carry out the Fire Seed Project, and they will be with you to spread the seeds of a new era."

The two girls looked toward Eden following the sound, then turned back to look at Hua.

Cangxuan remained silent, but Danzhu couldn't help but speak first.

"Ahem, since Dr. Mei said that you are free to decide on all the arrangements for the plan, then of course we will respect your opinion."

"But Eden, the difference between you two is just too great!!"

"Hmm? Difference? Where?"

Eden tilted his head, looking at Danzhu with a puzzled expression as she gestured in the air.

"Uh, that's what it is."

"Oh well, it's not that important anyway~"

A girl named Danzhu walked up to Hua and extended her hand to her.

"Then, from now on, let's work hard together, Hua."

Afterwards, Eden handed over the Golden Garden to Möbius, the director of the First Research Institute.

“Mébius, I would like to give you this golden garden.”

The green-haired woman paused for a moment, then stopped scalpeling herself.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the elegant guest standing at the laboratory door.

"Are you drunk again?" she asked.

Eden smiled gently.

"No."

"Oh."

She lowered her head again, looking at the scalpel in her hand, as if she were looking at something she didn't recognize.

"Did Alicia send you to mess with me?"

“Mebius...”

"...Okay, okay, sorry."

She finally put down the scalpel and met the eyes of the person at the door once again.

"What's wrong, Eden? Why did you suddenly think of this?"

“No, Möbius, this didn’t just come to mind,” Eden said.

“I’ve been thinking about this issue since the Herrscher of Corruption incident.”

"Ah, it was that time..."

"Human losses are incalculable, and the cost of victory is ever-increasing. I believe that anyone who can see all this cannot call it a victory..."

""

“You are a scientist, Möbius. I think you should have foreseen all of this long before me. Perhaps victory no longer exists in this era.”

"Is this why you insisted on preserving the memories of the heroes?" Eden said.

""

She remained silent, simply smiling as she watched the girl beside the lab table.

""

“Well, you’re right, Eden,” Möbius said.

"That's right, I stopped thinking there was any chance of victory in this era a long time ago."

"Even with the traumas this era has suffered, it no longer deserves to be called an era. Would you call a corpse with only one arm a human being?"

Eden leaned against the doorframe. She knew what the other person meant, but she had never liked their metaphors.
