<text>The “woman” walked unhurriedly on the empty corridor of the fortress.</text>
<text>Her goal is very clear, and there is no hesitation in her heart.</text>
<text>She knew that in this battered world, she is a unique and noble existence.</text>
<text>Yes, she did originate from humans--</text>
<text>But just like humans dont think of apes as their own kind, she doesnt see any difference between the “naked apes” and “ants”.</text>

<text>...This body is the crystallization of the coevolution of tens of thousands of wills.</text>
<text>They got rid of the “mastermind” biding their freedom, they got rid of the ugly monstrous form--</text>
<text>--The Son of God, through the inherently incomplete “Star Whisperer”’s body, finally came to this world.</text>
<text>...Yes, she still thinks she is just a “Son of God”.</text>
<text>She is not strong enough yet, so a little trick has to be used.</text>
<text>When she is sure that she will succeed, the disguise will be unnecessary.</text>
<text>…”Rowland”’s consciousness is still alive in her body. But it is just a trivial nerve cell, a part of the body which does not represent the soul.</text>
<text>All nighters dont care about dry eyes. Marathon runners dont care about muscle soreness--</text>
<text>No matter how much the mantis swings its forelimbs, the direction of the wind will not change.</text>

<speak chara="_bertrandY">Although its too late, I still would like to say some things to His Majesty the Emperor--</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">--That sure enough, the “Bonaparte” from your youth, has always been in the depths of your heart.</speak>
<speak chara="_Bianka">……</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">Ah, youngsters, you dont need to get sentimental over an old man like me.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">Although we have both lost someone close to us, my story has little to no ups and downs now, while yours has, in fact, only begun.</speak>
<speak chara="_Rita">……</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">When the Emperor was still the emperor, as long as he was working, you would not find the emotion called “sadness” in him.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">He said that the greatest kind of people in this world are the “Positively acting pessimists”.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">He was the greatest of all pessimists: He knows that mankind will continue to struggle to survive, and that there is no benevolent power helping us in secret.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">But even then he doesnt act negatively or scared: Even if he knows he is weak, he continues to move forward towards his goal.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">Because he knows deep down: In this world, only actions mean anything, and only actions can change destiny.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">Any thought without action is just self-righteous arrogance.</speak>
<speak chara="_Rita">“Its easier said than done”, I remember there was such a saying in the East.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">Thats right. The emperor often warned us before: Thought without action and action without thought - They are equally as dangerous.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">The former can only sit back and complain; The latter gets stubborn and fans the flames.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">The Emperor said that this kind of balance is difficult to grasp - He himself only performed well when compiling the “Civil Code”.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">He said that the “Civil Code” was the perfect combination of thought and action, and would never be abandoned by history.</speak>
<speak chara="_Bianka">...The job of a Valkyrie is to save the world. They will also not be abandoned by history.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">Hahahaha, youre right. Your career is the cornerstone of everything. As long as you dont betray it, you deserve the praise of most people.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">As you know, the Emperor sacrificed the entirety of Europe for his own interests, and for the interests of France… That eventually became a fatal stain on him.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">Beethoven even ripped off the title of the symphony composed for him and changed “Bonaparte” to “A hero”.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">After all… compared to the whole world, an Emperor and tens of millions of French people are just a small few.</speak>
<speak chara="_Bianka">But...</speak>
<speak chara="_Bianka">...None of us can guarantee that what we are doing is in line with the interest of mankind and the progress of civilization, right?</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">Thats a good way to think.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">Judging from what you reported, the emperor may have chosen to integrate with his subjects into a new form of life just to avoid that.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">But for what price? These subjects were his most loyal and radical servants in the past. Combining with them only allowed a group of people to rush down the road of paranoia even more quickly.</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">Perhaps, picking up the fragments of mankind and fusing them all together is a way to transcend Honkai--</speak>
<speak chara="_bertrandY">--But this example before us is definitely the worst of the worst. Its a child born from personal and deformed desires.</speak>

<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="biankaDressSighClose" position="right"/>
<speak chara="_Bianka">Yeah, not a single guard! But if Honkai already captured this fortress, why would the battlefield be so clean?</speak>
<show chara="biankaDressSighClose" position="right" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Indeed, Honkai is not one to deliberately clean the battlefield.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">And since we proved with our feet that this passage is circular, there is only one possibility I can think of--</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">The part of the fortress where we are standing may have broken away from the normal order organized by the “Anchor”.</speak>

<show chara="biankaDressBiteClose" position="right" opacity="0.8"/>

<speak chara="_Schrodinger">...Bianka, think of it like this.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">The underground fortress was originally built on the place closest to the “Ether Anchor”. And what is the “Anchor” itself?</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Its the core that organizes this large-scale Bubble Universe, the “book spine” that organizes many different, small spaces tidely like pages.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordCalmClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">...No, in this case, a messy data cable on a computer might be a better analogy.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">In short, because the fortress is too close to the Anchor Point, its actually very easy for it to be disassembled into tiny independent pieces, each of which is very similar to a separate World Fragment.</speak>

<show chara="biankaDressBiteClose" position="right" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger"> ...No. The first half of what you said is correct, but the second half isn't.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Shigure Kira, the… “Niggurath” in your body… does it also have an organ that can sense Honkai Energy?</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="ShigureKiraVNShockClose" position="right"/>

<show chara="ShigureKiraVNShockClose" position="right" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>

<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Listen to me first.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">The method I just came up with isnt an ultimate solution to the problem. It is just a substitute for the plot of “La Niña”, but it will greatly delay the death of this world.</speak>

<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">And also.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Once this plan is up into action, everyone except the four of us will have to stay inside this dying Bubble Universe, whether they want it or not.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">The space-time cracks of this world will be completely locked from the outside. We wont be able to say goodbye to them, and we will have no chance to tell them of what happened here.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">We will even lose the chance to repair the “Durandal”.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">--But I assure you: This world will indeed gain precious breathing time.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Whether its me, Shigure Kira, your overseer Otto, or someone from “Anti-Entropy”, it is possible to use this time to find a permanent solution.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">But… since this is the only way I can think of at the moment, from a decision making perspective, none of that is the deciding factor.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">The deciding factor is that the fate of this world will depend on you alone from now on.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="biankaDressShoutClose" position="right"/>
<speak chara="_Bianka">Could it be that… You want me to...</speak>

<show chara="biankaDressShoutClose" position="right" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSmileClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Thats right.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">You will directly replace “La Niña” as “God”, and lock the survival of this Bubble Universe within yourself--</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">--As long as you live, this world will exist; But on the contrary, the process of disintegration will start once again when you die.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">I had never expected it… But you behaved better as Durandals gem container than the original Soulium body.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">In this way, although we wont be able to completely separate the Honkai Energy left by “La Niña” in the “Ether Anchor”--</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">--We can use the gems of “Durandal” to seal the entire “Anchor”, alongside the Bubble Universe itself and the Honkai Energy, inside your body.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="biankaDressScreamClose" position="right"/>
<speak chara="_Bianka">...What? Inside my body? Literally?</speak>
<show chara="biankaDressScreamClose" position="right" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSmileClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Exactly what I said. Just like how you used your own body to replace “Durandal”’s sword body.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Just like how a geometric “inversion” can replace an object from outside the circle inside of the circle--</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">--Using Durandals energy manipulation tech, we can treat you as the circle and “invert” the Bubble Universe outside you to inside you.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSmileClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">After the “inversion” takes effect, you can use the Genius to return to Schicksal headquarters as normal.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">And the Bubble Universe...</speak>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Yes, from a philosophical perspective--</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSmileClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">--Will become your personal “Little universe”.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSmileClose" position="left" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="biankaDressShockClose" position="right"/>
<speak chara="_Bianka">……</speak>
<show chara="biankaDressShockClose" position="right" opacity="0.8"/>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Of course, for you personally, it wont just be a mental burden: You are a Valkyrie, so this may make some people from Schicksal want to conduct human experiments on you.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">...But as I said earlier, this is the only way I can think of right now.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Perhaps we can find another way if we sit down and research...</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordSeriousClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">But at that time, as the “Anchor” will be more eroded and destroyed, we might lose the chance to “Invert” the Bubble with “Durandal”’s gems like we have now.</speak>
<show chara="schroNoSwordTalkClose" position="left"/>
<speak chara="_Schrodinger">Using my “smell” of Honkai Energy to estimate… We still have a week or so until we have to decide on whether we will do the “Inversion” or not</speak>

<show chara="biankaDressSneerClose" position="right"/>
<speak chara="_Bianka">You just need to tell me how I can grasp this “life-saving straw” and save the world.</speak>
<show chara="biankaDressSorrowClose" position="right"/>

<show chara="biankaDressSmileClose" position="right"/>
<speak chara="_Bianka">We had no intention of ignoring the destruction in front of us from the beginning.</speak>
