I Reincarnated as Mei in Honkai Impact 3

Chapter 234 Ellie's Castle

The deepest place—

"So, the greatest secret of the Paradise of the Past is buried here?" Mei asked Alicia.

"Yes, Mei~ This place does indeed hold the earth's greatest secret, but..." Alicia smiled, "Don't you already know that, Mei~"

"Is it about you, Alicia, being the Herrscher of Origin?"

Upon hearing this, Aponia and Eden exchanged a glance, each having their own thoughts—it seemed the other already knew.

Immediately, Alicia summoned a white portal and then grabbed Mei's hand, running forward.

"Mei is just ahead, let's hurry!"

Alicia's face was filled with excitement. That was her inner world, and she wanted to show Mei her most authentic self.

Perhaps she had been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time, to share her story with others.

Mei nodded blankly, and was then pulled into the portal by Alicia.

"It seems Airi has made up her mind." Eden smiled with satisfaction. "Honestly, this is making me a little jealous of Mei-san~"

Aponia, who was standing to the side, looked thoughtfully at Eden.

"Although... I've wanted to ask this since the very beginning..."

"Eden, why do you call that purple-haired lady Mei?"

"Isn't her name Ritian (日天)?"

Eden raised an eyebrow, his eyes strange. "Sun...Sun God?"

"Wait, Aponia, could it be that Miss Mei told you... hiss... her name is Sun God?"

Abunia nodded, without denying it.

"Hahaha~" Eden chuckled involuntarily, his tone slightly teasing, "So, Apollia, your commandments shouldn't apply to Miss Mei, right?"

“Yes, Eden,” Aponia sighed. “Deep within her consciousness lies a long sword that has shattered all my precepts.”

"Really? That's amazing."

Eden smiled. "Aponia, her name is Raiden Mei."

"Raiden Mei?" Aponia mused, then gave a wry smile. "That's true, it does sound much better than 'Sun God'."

"Eden, let's continue our search for the Herrscher of Corruption."

“Okay,” Eden replied.

………………

The light was intense white light.

Mei covered her eyes, unable to open them completely due to the light.

A moment later, the light faded.

"here it is?"

Before Mei could even get a clear look at her surroundings, a barrage of missiles came flying in from the front.

Mei's gaze sharpened, and lightning gathered in her right hand as she swung it forward with a fierce motion.

Countless lightning bolts coalesced into blades that exploded like fireworks, instantly spreading outwards and slicing through the missiles, creating a series of explosions in the air.

The ash from the explosion covered Mei's face.

Mei frowned and waved her hand.

"Tsk... Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."

As the ashes slowly dissipated like smoke, Mei was finally able to see the scene before her.

What comes into view is a tall and majestic pink castle, giving people a warm and dreamy feeling.

The streets surrounding the castle are laid out in a charming, orderly fashion, and both sides of the streets are lined with flowers of various colors.

In the distance, the tracks of the Ferris wheel and roller coaster are faintly visible, their outlines appearing exceptionally clear in the sunlight.

The entire park is covered with pink tree branches, forming a natural dome.

Mei was captivated by the beautiful scenery before her, which resembled a castle from a fairy tale.

"Hi~ Mei, how are you feeling?"

Alicia leaped down from the sky and landed steadily in front of Mei.

"It feels great."

"That's good?" Alicia smiled and took the other person's hand, leading them to the back.

"Welcome to the deepest secrets of the paradise of the past, preserved in the [Deepest Depths]—"

"That is composed of Alicia's memories, a complete reconstruction of Alicia's inner world, the world she loved throughout her life."

Alicia explained as she walked.

"As you can see, it is like the culmination of all beautiful things, a peaceful and eternal dreamlike wonderland, a flawless paradise standing at the end of all ideals."

…………

"Aren't you excited? Among the successors, you are the first to come here, the first to experience Alicia's [complete sincerity]."

"Mei, it's okay to act even happier... okay?"

Faced with Alicia's words, Mei's face only showed a hint of dejection as she looked towards the horizon and murmured:

"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's a pity that she's not by my side and can't appreciate it with me."

Alicia: "???"

"It's alright, Alicia, let's go."
