Honkai Impact: Capturing the Little Herrschers starting with Sirin

ended.

Yeah, it's over.

The old man lowered his head, and the white light of time once again swept over the body of the elderly apostle.

When the dazzling white light faded away, the familiar young man with short black hair appeared in front of him.

But Yulandel knew very well that he was not him.

At least, not the senior he had just seen off.

Perhaps only now, perhaps only at this last moment, the end of His time, will He become what He is now.

and……

Died as the Apostle of Time at that time.

"You seem to have anticipated this result."

Yulandel did not feel any frustration from the opponent, and even found some humility in the opponent when recalling the battle process, so she asked the questions in her heart.

"Like I said, I have seen the future."

"Also includes... a future like this?"

"Including this future."

One question and one answer, the same sentence, but just because of the difference in commas and periods, it ends up with two completely different meanings.

"Then why don't you think about changing?"

"I am different from you." He shook his head.

"As an apostle, I will not disobey my authority."

"Even if...you accept this result?"

"Even if it means accepting this result."

Familiar conversations, familiar processes, familiar robberies and bullying, plus familiar results.

Let us ignore the complaints about ellipsis and question marks and focus on what is in front of us.

This somewhat stubborn old man has a completely different personality from 003.

Unlike the one who always wanted to change the past and the future and was willing to give up everything for a choice, the one in front of him was always unwilling to go against the future results he saw as an apostle of time.

He always maintains a reverence for time.

and so……

Are they really from the same place?

"congratulations."

He stood up slowly, leaving his hunched body with his back to Yulandel, and turned to face the palace behind him.

“The end is in sight.”

"Next, all you have to do is take one more step."

"step……"

Rumble!

The last door blocking the way was pushed open.

By Him in front of me.

He was the last shackle standing in the way of the end.

Now, the last door of this road is opened by Him, which may be the best exit for Him.

The golden light spread into the sky, and the figure in front of him turned into a little starlight and dissipated in the light.

Yulandel stepped through this last door, surpassing the end point of her predecessors and came to this ancient-looking hall.

she……

No, He walked across the bluestone street and stood in front of the stairs where Kiana had stepped.

Yes, there is nothing here, only a road that leads to nowhere.

But without hesitation, He stepped onto the stairs.

Nothing happened.

To Him, it seemed like just an ordinary staircase.

If there is anything wrong, it may be that this road is too long.

Very long.

I don’t know how long it took to reach Youlandel.

The stairs in front of me stretch infinitely, as if there will never be an end.

Even at this moment, Yulandel didn't know why she had embarked on this path.

Perhaps it’s because of the doubts in my heart.

Or maybe it's the awe buried in my heart.

It could also be instinct.

Instinct told Him to climb the stairs and come to the throne, and then... you will see a microcosm of this era.

Of course, if this slightly absent-minded girl were to speak for herself, perhaps...

"Aren't you willing to give in?"

He asked himself this.

He already knew part of the truth, but... He still hadn't found the back that was always in his heart but he could never see clearly.

So He was unwilling to stop there.

So He took steps, but also because of this, His steps seemed so...

Embarrassed.

Rumble!

Suddenly, there was a vibration in my ear.

shock?

Isn't it strange? The quantum sea can actually produce earthquake-like vibrations.

But at this moment, feeling the oncoming pressure, Yulandel subconsciously looked up, looking towards the end of the stairs.

There……

"Wait, that's...!"

His pupils trembled! He who was always calm and composed when facing the struggle for power, now revealed an emotion called "panic" because of the scene in front of him.

But this was not because His mind was disturbed by His groundless fantasies just now.

At this moment, the loss of composure he displayed was entirely due to his disbelief at the scene before him.

With a glimpse into the future...

fear.

...

Qi 70%/white 30%

Qi 90%/white 10%

...

Click! Click!

The moving pointer stopped for a moment.

This pocket watch was picked up by "He" from the body of a girl who had some connection with Weiwei.

The hands of this pocket watch stopped ticking when the girl walked out of the tavern, and started moving towards the future again with her death.

But now, this moment of stagnation is certainly not caused by some "parts failure", it is a kind of silence for time.

Today, “He” still remembers what the third child asked himself that day.

“Why have we come to this point?”

So did "Him" at that time really not see the smaller selfishness in that little child's heart?

I think, at this point in the story, most people would respond to this question with a reversal as the outcome.

But sadly…the answer is no.

At that time, "Him" was just a God who was learning about emotions?

Although even now "He" has not learned how to be a human being.

But this does not prevent "Him" today from recalling those words.

And unprecedentedly draw inferences from one example to another and find new answers.

"Can you tell me..."

"Why are you now where you are now?"

"..."

Faced with this inexplicable question, Baituanzi, whose brain was not that quick, shook his head as expected.

"I do not know."

"But if I must say, perhaps..."

With his hands on his hips, our usually silly Qibao straightened his chest and spoke with a rare mature tone.

"To transform this imperfect world into what we want it to be."

"..."

A moment of silence.

"Can……"

The girl's erect chest slowly relaxed, and the brief silence after her words indicated that this was not all she wanted to say.

"But, I just...don't want to say this to you."

"I don't even... want to consider you an enemy."

The bitterness at the corners of his mouth became more and more obvious, but his voice became more relaxed as he spoke these stumbling words from his heart.

"Besides, didn't you ask me if I would remember you?"

"I said yes, I will remember you."

"But I agreed too quickly. Now that I think about it, you didn't even have a name."

Spreading out one hand, Kiana joked.

"Look, if one day I suddenly miss you, but I can't even say your name in my heart, that would be inappropriate, right?"

"And you might have nightmares at night."

"..."

"I'm very sorry."

"Huh?" Kiana was stunned.

He was joking, not accusing.

But the other party obviously did not summarize the meaning of the word "joking".

"I'm sorry I don't have a name you can remember."

"But I'm afraid I can't fulfill this wish for you."

"I... don't know how to have a name that represents my life as you describe."

This is His true thought, too true.

Kiana told "Him" the meaning of the name, and "Him" really used it to demand of himself.

This makes even the trivial matter of naming seem so complicated at this moment.
