Honkai Impact 3rd: I picked up a Seele at the start of the game.

……

How can we replace the story of El-Innis with the story of the previous civilization?

He had a plan in mind; he was determined to manipulate the cause and effect.

Subsequently, through causal substitution, "Vilvie with a back door in Elinis" was replaced with "Vilvie with eight parts of her soul, each of which experienced a simulated pre-civilization."

For Vilvi, one day she suddenly began to "dream." The content of her dreams was a story remarkably similar to her present situation.

Upon waking, Vilvi was unusually silent.

It's so real, so real, as if it really happened. No matter how you look at it, the story is enough to make you feel sad and heartbroken.

That very night, Vilvi appeared in his dream again, and he experienced that long tragedy once more.

For seven consecutive days, a total of seven times.

It took Vervi a long time to accept the status quo and lock that memory deep in the corner of her soul before she began to try to see if she could change anything.

However... in the story she dreamed about (the previous civilization), it seemed that two people were missing, right?

The Sixth Herrscher, Seele, was once Mei's bodyguard, Yun Fuyu.

Alright, let's make testing them both our top priority!

Wilvi was itching with anxiety. She tried every possible way to infiltrate the props team of the Fire Chasing Friendship Association, patting her chest to assure them she wouldn't do anything reckless. However, in reality...

……

……

After experiencing a crisis of trust and a sock incident, Yunxi and her companion finally got up.

In the eyes of outsiders, this means that Xi'er and Yun Fuyu have "reconciled".

So it's understandable that the two of them went to the social gathering hand in hand today.

Large screens at several corners played Mei's speech at the social gathering. The purple-haired girl in the video had glasses that gleamed coldly, but when she smiled, a warmth dispelled the tension in everyone's hearts.

Yunxi didn't read the narration carefully; she only glanced at it and understood everything. On the way, Yun Fuyu couldn't help but sigh, "Eden was supposed to sing at the opening ceremony this morning, it's a pity we missed it..."

As for why he missed it? ...Seele stomped hard on his foot!

It's all your fault! It's all your fault! No matter what happened, it's all your fault!

……

The day slowly passed, and evening arrived once again.

Before dusk, Yun Fuyu and Xier arrived at the venue for a competition. The competition, which took place in a simulation training room, was all combat-related.

Seele looked at Yun Fuyu with a half-smile. The latter helplessly shrugged and whispered, "Just you wait and see! This time, I can't possibly lose to Kevin again!"

Sign up to fight!

After Yun Fuyu took over, Seele wasn't worried about him. Yun Fuyu's current combat strength is unknown, but it's obvious that Herrscher-level power is no longer a threat to him. His power is more manifested in special "authorities," like treating the world as a game, and being the sole programmer.

Looking around, as expected, Kevin and May walked over one after the other, whispered a few words to each other, and then Kevin stepped forward to sign up for the battle.

Mei also saw Seele, and the two nodded to each other before turning their attention to the large screen showing the live battle scene.

Wow!

The onlookers were in an uproar.

In the center of the screen, the white-clad youth stood calmly, letting wave after wave of Honkai beasts attack with bared fangs and claws. With just a flick of his sleeve, tangible Honkai energy attacks silently slaughtered the enemies. Layer upon layer of Honkai beast corpses piled up three meters away, gradually forming a thick, terrifying wall of corpses.

Even May was stunned—do you still remember that theory of evolution?

Biological evolution tends towards maximizing destructive power while minimizing energy consumption, thus ensuring survival in the harsh realities of natural selection. Therefore, sharp external organs and robust bodies are the normal evolutionary trends.

However, the attack Yun Fuyu is unleashing right now resembles an "energy wave" from a fantasy novel, capable of high-intensity destructive power simply by releasing its energy. Judging from the ratio of energy to destructive power, his actual strength is likely hundreds or even thousands of times greater than what he appears to be!

Is this the power of the fusion surgery? — That's the only way Mei could think of it.

If fusion surgery can truly achieve such powerful results, then promoting its wider adoption should be considered a top priority!

~

Just as Mei was pondering, the battle on the screen ended quickly. After two PVE battles, Yun Fuyu and Kevin's progress was exactly the same.

When the two left the PVE arena at the same time, the audience seemed to sense something and held their breath, anticipating the next PVP battle.

Behind the scenes, Velvi chuckled softly, her fingers flying across the screen. Kevin and Yun Fuyu "coincidentally" met.

Don't forget, Velvet was waiting to test Yun Fuyu and Seele. The competition and "luring Kevin to participate with Soul Steel weapons" were all Velvet's deliberate moves. Although it seemed like a casual step, at this moment, it was—checkmate!

"...What a coincidence, it's you."

Kevin was slightly surprised. Of course he recognized Yun Fuyu and knew that Yun Fuyu had participated in the fusion surgery and was no less powerful than him. But Kevin didn't see Yun Fuyu enter the arena, so he said, "What a coincidence."

Yun Fuyu smiled brightly: "Indeed, it's a 'coincidence.' Kevin, I've heard so much about you and admired you for a long time."

Kevin paused for a moment, the aloof young man actually seemed a little embarrassed: "Uh... no need to exaggerate, I'm just an ordinary soldier."

Yun Fuyu shook hands with him and said, "No warrior is ordinary. Those who step forward in the face of the Honkai are all heroes."

“…Yes.” Kevin smiled as well: “One day, we will definitely be able to defeat the Honkai.”

Whether it was just polite talk or a performance, Kevin's words still sounded incredibly inspiring.

"That's right. But today, I still want to fight you. Excuse me!"

"Come here!"

After exchanging pleasantries, they simultaneously retreated and distanced themselves, preparing for battle! After observing each other for a moment, the impatient Yun Fuyu made the first move!

------

A lively pink figure appeared silently, covering Mei's eyes from behind: "Guess who I am?~"

Alicia didn't even cover her glasses with her hands, because it would dirty the lenses. Mei smiled helplessly: "Alicia, I'm watching Kevin and Yun Fuyu fight, let's stop playing for now."

"I know~"

Alicia withdrew her hand and stood beside Mei, looking at the big screen together, her eyes sparkling with a unique light.

I don't want to see you all become enemies... but today, to celebrate, shall we make an exception just this once?

Alicia seemed to hear someone speaking, and suddenly looked around, but found nothing. She thought she was hallucinating, or that she was thinking something strange, so she didn't pay attention and continued to look at the big screen.
