Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

Seeing that the other party seemed a little unsure of how to respond, the captain did not rush to ask any more questions. Instead, he sincerely expressed his gratitude, but... there seemed to be more mystery in this "Miss Butterfly" than he thought. Is it more, or is there something unspeakable?

At least from the current conversation, the captain felt that the other party was not someone who was good at planning and had ulterior motives. It would be better to say that the impression given by Miss Butterfly's words was that she was very simple and kind.

In this case, you should seize this hard-won opportunity and try your best to convey your non-malicious thoughts to the other party. This will also help the other party put down their guard against you, so that you can obtain more information here.

"Well...if you can, kind-hearted Miss Butterfly, can you tell me your name? My name is Zhi. As you can see, I came here from a world outside the Quantum Sea."

The captain's always gentle tone and his unique reassuring temperament seemed to have worked at this time.

When the "Miss Butterfly" on the shoulder heard the other party's self-introduction, she also fluttered her wings and flew in front of the young man, and said a little greenly:

"Mr. Zhi...Zhi, hello, nice to meet you! My name is Xier... Xier Fuleai. Actually, I came here from the outside world... because something happened."

"Siere Fleur...is a very nice name. Then, can I call you Seele?"

"Of course!"

"Haha, there's no need to be so formal. You are my savior, Miss Xi'er."

"Well, okay..."

Maybe it was because she hadn't had anyone to communicate with for a long time, Miss Butterfly, whose name was Xier, couldn't help but sound a little excited in this situation.

Fortunately, her image is just a little butterfly now. Otherwise, at this moment, her face must have turned red because she was too shy... Xi'er thought.

"Well, Mr. Zhi, what happened to you that caused you to fall into the Quantum Sea? This should be... not an easy place to break into."

"This is also my first time to enter the quantum sea. I have only seen the corresponding theories before. As for why..."

The captain tried his best to describe as concisely as possible how he fought against Honkaimon, destroyed the spatial structure of his world through the power of the "God Key", and was finally dragged into the quantum sea due to exhaustion.

Although Xier said that she also came from the "outside world", the captain was not sure whether the other party came from the same world as himself. After all, theoretically, there are countless "parallel universes" above the level of the Quantum Sea. "Every universe has its own laws and operating rules. Even if we only discuss the historical development process, we cannot generalize.

And most importantly, the captain didn't know whether the other party's world had the concept of "collapse". In the distant past, someone once told him that all the "parallel universes" they observed had "collapse". There are signs of activity…

In other words, at least as far as their world can observe, all earth civilizations in the "parallel universe" have not escaped the threat of "collapse"...

But what does this statement look like now, tens of thousands of years later?

"In order to protect my companions, I chose to fight the Honkai Beast to the end, even at the risk of my own life... Wu... Mr. Zhi, you are really... very powerful..."

Obviously she has tried to downplay many parts of the description, but Xier still acted very sad. It seems that this kind-hearted girl is also very good at empathizing with others.

However, looking at Xi'er's reaction, it is obvious that she also knows about such things as Honkai beasts. In this way, it can be roughly confirmed that "Honkai" also exists in her world.

But then again…

"Amazing...? But I still couldn't save everyone... I thought there might be a glimmer of hope, but it seems like it's still not possible?"

Reaching out to touch the pain-relieving patch on his face that was about to fall off and that had been mostly burned off, the captain smiled bitterly.

"There is no such thing, Mr. Zhi, Xi'er thinks you are really great, Xi'er admires you very much!"

"Hehehe, um, okay, I understand what you mean, thank you... uh!"

"Mr. Zhi, are you okay!?"

The captain wanted to pretend to laugh lightly, but the sharp pain that suddenly increased with the rise and fall of his chest still made him breathless for a moment. The captain had no choice but to continue to relax and lean on the rocks behind him.

"No, it's okay...Compared to this...Xie'er, since you brought me here, does that mean you created this space?"

"Huh? No, it's not...this "World Bubble" was...created by others..."

"...World Bubble? Someone else?"

The captain originally thought that this was just a small space created by Xi'er that had a stable structure and would not be impacted by the quantum ocean currents. However, it turned out to be a "world bubble" level space...

Elizabeth and Otto had mentioned to themselves before that what supported the existence of countless "parallel universes" above the level of the Quantum Sea was a certain concept of existence called the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" that completely transcended human cognition.

Including the captain's own world, countless parallel universes are like the small and inconspicuous leaves on the branches of the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers", relying on the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" standing above the quantum sea. Only then can the trunk survive.

Combined with the previous theory, those worlds that have completely disappeared due to the erosion of "collapse" will fall from the branches like fallen leaves, and then... be swallowed by the quantum sea.

As for the existences, lives that have been born, and the history that have happened in those worlds, they will circulate in different forms in the quantum sea like fragments until they are completely swallowed by the currents of the quantum sea.

This is the essence of "World Bubble" as Xi'er calls it.

But since he has the ability to create such a world bubble in the quantum sea, I am afraid that the "others" in Xi'er's mouth are not existences that he can easily compete with now, and the captain can also feel that when Xi'er mentioned that person , her tone was full of fear.

"Xie'er, can you tell me? Who is the person you are talking about?"

"Yes, it's...a snake..."

"snake?"

"He, he's coming...Snake, he's coming!"

"Xie'er?"

The strong sense of fear made Xi'er flap her wings randomly, trying to find a place to hide. Feeling the scent of something approaching, the captain stretched out his hands and carefully protected Miss Butterfly in front of him in his palms. inside.

But even so, the captain also knew that with the severe injury and the loss of Xiaoye's protection, there was nothing he could do now. If the person who came had malicious intentions towards the two of them... He didn't care about how he could keep Xi'er safe. What about escape?

"come yet…"

Almost in the blink of an eye, a figure quietly appeared not far away in front of the captain's eyes. At the same time, the other person radiated... a powerful pressure that was enough to make people feel extremely trembling, which made the captain understand immediately. Why is Xi'er so scared?

However, the feeling this pressure brought to him... seemed a little too familiar, as familiar as...

"...Long time no see, Zhi."

In a male voice without any emotion, the other party slowly walked forward while speaking, and then revealed his figure.

Wearing a black and white uniform dotted with cold blue, and under the short white hair, there is a pair of ice blue eyes that cannot be shaken, as deep as ice, but still reveal some sadness in the captain's eyes.
