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

Chapter 201 Conflict

(Equivalent replacement for the social gathering storyline)

……

After putting on underwear, puffy pumpkin pants, stockings, and a pretty skirt, I lightly scratched my toes a few times and slipped them into thick-soled white shoes. That completes my outfit.

Then, Seele stood in front of the mirror, applied a glossy lipstick to her pink lips, pursed her lips gently, and smiled slightly at herself in the mirror.

Seele is now the sixteen-year-old Herrscher in her true form. Influenced by Honkai energy, authority, and oath, her physique and appearance have even surpassed her Herrscher of Life and Death era, rivaling even Alicia. Objectively speaking, her appearance has become increasingly stunning.

"..."

The withered Seele floated out, wearing the exact same clothes as Seele, except that the blue was replaced with red and the white with black... Tsk tsk, obviously copied Seele's outfit, too lazy to come up with anything himself!

She leaned closer to Seele, touched Seele's lipstick with her finger, and suddenly smiled confidently: "Hmph~ Seele, only you need this kind of thing, I don't need it at all!"

In comparison, although it's the same Seele, the Deathly Seele's lips aren't an alluring pink, but a striking red. And more importantly, the Deathly Seele seems to have subtly increased in size by a cup... which makes her look even more appetizing.

Now, Seele has come to regard Apoptotic Seele as another Black Seele (and Apoptotic Seele and Black Seele are indeed causally related), and doesn't care about her closeness or offense, instead acting as if she's used to it.

She smiled and said, "Sometimes, a light makeup look isn't just for concealing blemishes or beautifying the skin."

After pondering it carefully, just as she was beginning to understand, Seele was already preparing to leave. Helpless, she didn't continue the teasing, but instead returned to Seele's consciousness space.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and headed out. The boy living next door was leaning against the wall, staring blankly at his watch.

"Good morning~"

"Well, good morning."

Yun Fuyu answered instinctively, then asked, "Where do you want to go today?"

As agreed with Mei, Seele is allowed to leave the Firemoth base for one day each month. Of course, she needs Yun Fuyu to accompany her to feel at ease.

The main reason Yunxi and the other went out was to follow the plot and prevent others from suspecting them.

In truth, Seele is somewhat of a homebody. Gentle and reserved by nature, she never gets bored playing games at home, even in an unfamiliar world or with her lover by her side. Moreover, they are linked by fate; when Yun Fuyu goes out, Seele can not only see his field of vision but also send a clone of herself directly to his side—this unreasonable, bug-like ability renders Mei's various prohibitions completely useless, utterly without binding force.

However, on the surface, we still have to give Mei some face. Back then, she persuaded the United Nations and countless "leaders" of the Fire Moth to "take in" the Herrscher at the Fire Moth base.

Back to the topic.

Where do you want to go today?

Seele gently twirled the end of her hair and smiled, "Anywhere is fine, Seele will listen to you."

Back in Erinise, Seele had meticulously planned numerous dating strategies. Looking back, it's hard to say whether she was too gullible, or if she actually harbored some hidden succubus tendencies...

Yun: "Then let's just wander around."

set off.

……

……

Because of the schemes of the God of Gods, Seele was inevitably hurt, so she needed to slowly readjust to Yun Fuyu. Therefore, their relationship seemed to have regressed to a previous state—they liked each other, yet felt they needed time to cultivate their feelings. They valued each other, yet refused to express it openly.

However, setting aside Yunxi's restrained date, let's turn our attention to Mei for now.

Previously, Mei had gone to great lengths to persuade other high-ranking members to accept the Lawyer. Her own acceptance of the Lawyer stemmed from two main reasons: firstly, Yun hope's acting was superb and masterful; secondly, it was due to a statement from Mebius: "This is an opportunity."

In the past, humanity often faced the ordeal of the Herrschers like battling monsters, suffering heavy casualties at their hands. But this time is different. The Herrscher's arrival brought no casualties; the separation of creation and decay provides a good explanation. The Herrscher regained its consciousness and, instead of opposing humanity, became a weapon in their hands.

How could such an opportunity be avoided out of fear? Möbius despised this fear. He also valued this opportunity highly.

However, where there are people, there is conflict. The conflict between May's Firemoth and the United Nations, the conflict between May as the top leader and other high-ranking members of the Firemoth, and the conflict between May herself and some high-ranking members... these are undeniably among the reasons for the failure of the previous civilization.

The conflict between Herrschers/Honkai and humanity only added fuel to the fire. During the time that Yun Fuyu and Seele spent happily together, Mei was attacked quite a bit.

Today, Yun Fuyu and Xier went out together, frolicking and playing in the human world—in other words, to those with a discerning eye, it was an eyesore to see a "foolish" warrior and a Herrscher going out together.

Mei received another communication request from the meeting, and unsurprisingly, those huge figures in the virtual projection, who seemed to be sitting on a throne, repeatedly reprimanded her for acting recklessly, and repeatedly used Yun Fuyu and Xier's happy appearance as proof that Mei had done something wrong.

I am physically and mentally exhausted, and I am overwhelmed by the troubles.

Mei listened silently until the very end, and only when all the sounds gradually faded away did she speak up and ask, "Are you finished?"

"you--!"

"Arrogant! Arrogant!"

"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak to us like that?!"

"The world belongs to everyone, not just you! You've overstepped your bounds!"

"Don't forget who gave you that power! The Moths That Chase Fire are not your backyard!"

"……madness!……"

"...Shortsighted!..."

"..."

I am physically and mentally exhausted, and I am overwhelmed by the troubles.

After the sound disappeared again, Mei said softly:

"In **** year, the First Herrscher descended, and in the underdeveloped modern era, he destroyed more than ten cities before being killed."

"Sixty years later, the Second Herrscher descended, and it was only because Alicia intervened in time that a major disaster was averted."

"Two years later, the Third Herrscher descended, and the densely populated area stretching for thousands of miles from Changkong to the Far East was reduced to ruins. Hen severed his own arm to desperately delay the Herrscher, and Velvet's Honkai Fission Bomb fell into the Far East, where the Third Herrscher was annihilated."

"Fifteen months later, the Fourth Herrscher... Australia, Mu, America... Kevin..."

"Twelve months later, the Fifth Herald... an unknown person..."

"Eleven months later, the Sixth Herrscher descended."

Mei's voice gradually grew louder: "The entire southern region of Mu Continent, stretching for thousands of miles, was reduced to ruins in an instant, but the power of the Herrscher was split in two. Creation and decay canceled each other out, resulting in no accidental casualties in the disaster."

This is utterly unbelievable, but it is indeed true. As a price, Yun Fuyu (?) did bear a great deal of consequences.

Mei: "Kevin and Hen led the combat team and spent seven days finding the Herrscher and fighting to the death with him. In the end, no one died in this battle."

She sneered, "Are you really looking forward to someone dying?"

After a moment of silence, another impassioned and sarcastic rebuke rang out. But Mei no longer yielded to them. Instead, she angrily rebuked them: "Shut your mouth that only knows how to flatter and spout sarcastic nonsense! The purpose of you sitting here should be to do something meaningful, not to argue about something that has no meaning!"

Before the arrogant rebuke could even begin, Mei continued, "The frequency of Honkai disasters is increasing, and the intervals between Herrscher descents are getting shorter. Are you going to solve these disasters with words and mutual attacks?!"

Someone angrily retorted: "This is no reason for you to protect the Lawgiver, nor is it a reason for you to act recklessly!!"

Mei scoffed: "The Lawyer has never done evil, so why use the word 'cover-up'? Your so-called 'reckless behavior' means that I can command the army to attack the United Nations headquarters at any time?!"

"you--!"

The man's face flushed red, but he sat down silently.

Anyone who underestimates Mei's strength is a fool. Some of the current attacks are genuinely for the greater good of humanity, while others are merely attempts to take a bite out of Mei.

Those who truly care about the bigger picture must know how significant a benevolent Herrscher is to humanity.

After a brief silence, someone suddenly chuckled: "The Lawbringers have never done evil? Who said that?"

Mei quickly added, "I'm only talking about Seele! The other Herrschers have nothing to do with her!"

The other person replied, "Yes, I was talking about Seele too."
