I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Upon seeing the purple butterfly girl with her eyes closed, the dead dragon uttered a low, soft whisper.

Jingling simply activated simultaneous interpretation to translate the dragon's mental fluctuations.

"I'll take her to the underworld; it's a more suitable place for the Death Flame Trial."

The dragon's majestic and imposing body emitted a surprisingly delicate and ethereal voice, carrying a sense of innocence and purity, somewhat reminiscent of Greta Thunberg.

"Can we go to the underworld together?"

Vervi's eyes lit up.

The underworld, the realm of the dead, the place where souls go after death—it's impossible for Velvet not to be interested in such a place.

Although Onpharos is a data world, its underlying architecture, like reality, is built on logic, not chaos. As long as there is logic, it can be analyzed and intervened upon.

Even without the reality of the underworld, with the existence of the underworld Onpharos, ultimate alchemy might still be able to achieve resurrection.

The underworld is one of the best experimental sites for reversing the cycle of life and death.

"Roar~ (Sorry, it's not that I'm unwilling, but the living cannot enter the underworld; it's the realm of the dead.)"

Polyces gently shook the dragon's head.

But his gaze fell on Qiong again.

Although it was in a state of receiving its sister's memories, it still had some awareness of the outside world. It knew that the Death Flame was retrieved from the Underworld by Qiong.

How did he do it?

As a living person, it's impossible for you to enter the underworld.

Jerry.

From Xia Die's memories, she learned the brown mouse's name and its outrageous battle record.

This includes suppressing Tarranton and placing the Fire and the Scales of Fate, facts that even the Titan of Death could not comprehend.

"I see."

Virvi's shoulders slumped instantly.

"Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I'll go with you."

As he spoke, Qiong leaped into the air, transforming into Jerry in mid-air, and was free-falling before being carried by Polyces to the chest of the butterfly on his back.

With the soft, smooth skin of jade as a cushion for her fall, Qiong felt like she was landing on a trampoline, bouncing and falling several times before finally sliding down the curve to Xia Die's collarbone.

"The mere underworld can't stop me!"

With a flap of its divine wings, the spirit bell floated above the dead dragon.

What in the data world could possibly stop the Herrscher of Corruption?

Okay, yes, there are some, and quite a lot.

What about the god of erosion?

There are still some, but the number has decreased sharply.

What about the super-divine warrior created by fusing the Potara earrings?

Very few. Even Onfaros's strongest external firewall couldn't stop them, let alone the restrictions of its special internal areas.

"Mimi~! (And me too, I'll go wherever my friends go!)"

Mimi flew to Qiong's side.

"What about me? I should be able to too, right?"

March 7th, hopping and skipping, raises his hand.

This caused Polycrus to become eccentric.

These people are so proactive; I've never seen the underworld so active before.

However, in Xia Die's memories, it knew about the relationship between San Yueqi and Qiong... Could it be that it was worried about letting its sister be alone with Qiong?

"Legend has it that the underworld is a sea of ​​flowers, and I've always wanted to go and take a picture there, but unfortunately I haven't had the chance."

This reason can only be described as very unlucky.

Before Polyces could answer, a deep and mysterious power quietly descended and enveloped March 7th.

Her aura underwent a subtle change, as if veiled by a light gauze, distancing herself from the vibrancy of the living.

Without a doubt, Miss Changyeyue has made her move.

Adhering to her consistent policy, she will grant any request made on March 7th and spoil her rotten!

"...Hoo~ (Okay)."

Sensing the change in March 7's state, Polyces remained silent for a while before nodding.

Have I been sleeping at the bottom of the River Styx for too long?

It feels like when I woke up, there were many things in the world that I couldn't understand.

"Oh, why is this happening? 'We' also want to go to the underworld."

Tian looked deflated, her eyes drooping.

It feels like the underworld is targeting the locals!

Those from beyond the heavens, Aqiong and Sanyue, could enter, but the native Aqiong and Heiseyin could only obediently abide by the rule that the living could not set foot in.

Is that correct?

Heather didn't seem to care.

The king told her to wait here, so she waited.

"Roar~"

The dragon's powerful wings suddenly spread, carrying Xia Die, Qiong Jie Rui, and March 7th, soaring into the air and flying deeper into the River Styx.

Jingling raised Jingwei's divine feathers, transforming into a streak of crimson light that followed closely behind.

The River Styx initially flowed like a mighty river, gradually becoming vast and boundless, and eventually transforming into a silvery ocean.

"This River Styx... doesn't feel as eerie and terrifying as I imagined."

"If you take this photo back and say it was taken in the underworld, I doubt anyone would believe you."

On March 7th, while atop the dragon's back, he adjusted the camera angle and pressed the shutter, capturing the dreamlike river below.

Qiong Jierui rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

Is the River Styx a 'recycle bin' for the data world?

After a little thought, I concluded that it probably doesn't count.

"Pollysia, could you tell us your story?"

Jingling relayed Qiong's thoughts.

Qiong was very interested in the previous creation story and its ending.

"So, where should we begin? Let's start from the very beginning."

The dragon's voice, so different from its appearance, echoed in his mind.

Through Polycia's narration, Kyon gained some understanding of the world before the last re-creation.

Qiong had long suspected that demigods would become Titans of the new world after completing the re-creation, but she lacked evidence.

The very existence of Polycia proves this point.

Qiong also learned the names of several Titans from their past lives.

Polycia was unaware of all the Titans' past lives; she only knew that the demigods of her time, after becoming Cenatos, resided eternally in the Underworld and never set foot there again.

Until the next creation.

In weaving the laws of a new world, Polycia broke the boundaries between life and death.

He resurrected his sister and sent her back to the human world in the form of the dead dragon Polykes.

This was a rule-breaking operation that should have failed, but after Polycia tried it regardless of the cost, it came to fruition in an unexpected way.

Polycia bestowed half of the divine power over death upon Theo.

Let the butterfly become the other half of Senatos' life, the one who grants immortality to death.

Polycia, on the other hand, was half-dead, burdened with the fate of 'refusing to die,' and was declared dead the moment she was born into the world.

From that moment on, Senatos ceased to exist.

Holy crap, it really is a two-in-one Death Demigod?

Qiong Jierui's eyes widened.

Aside from details like the driver, the main plot is surprisingly the same as the unofficial history I wrote about!

Could it be that all those unofficial histories are just embellishments of official history?

No matter what, that's way too wild!

As Polycia slowly recounts her story, the dead dragon flies across the vast expanse, reaching the end of the River Styx, the very other side of the underworld.

Wow~ the legend is actually true!

On the dragon's back, a cat peeked out on the seventh day of the third lunar month and suddenly stood up when it saw the other side.

"The underworld is truly an endless sea of ​​flowers."

A field of flowers, a tapestry of pale purple and pinkish-white, stretches out in an endless expanse of antithermia, shimmering with a soft fluorescence as it sways gently in the breeze.

At the edge of the sky, a huge crescent moon hangs, its surface covered with cracks.

A waterfall of blue-purple light flowed, like a broken jade plate, letting the light spill onto the earth.

The dead dragon gently landed in the sea of ​​flowers.

Thank you for giving us a ride.

Little March gracefully jumped down from the dragon's back and politely thanked them.

"Mimi~ (Hey buddy, let me carry you on my back.)"

Mimi floated happily to the side of the dead dragon's slightly tilted shoulder blade.

Qiong Jierui gave it a big smile, glanced at the closed-eyed Xia Die, and then jumped onto Mimi's little head.

【MiMi, launch!】

Qiong Jierui grabbed those two large, cloud-like ears as if he were holding reins.

Not long after arriving in the underworld, the purple butterfly girl, lying like Sleeping Beauty among the Antichrist flowers, slowly opened her eyes.

Then I saw an adorable little elf carrying a spirited little brown mouse, flying around in front of me.

"Your Excellency... Mimi..."

"Xia Die, you're awake?"

A fluffy pink head nudged closer, its pure red eyes filled with concern.

"How are you feeling? Did you succeed in the trial?"

"March......"

Xia Die's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she gave Mimi and Qiong Jie Rui, who flew over, a gentle smile.

"The Trial of the Fire Seed continues... only the final step remains."

[The final step?]

Qiong Jierui noticed Xia Die's gaze towards the Dead Dragon and seemed to understand something.

A gentle breeze carrying a strange fragrance swept through the sea of ​​flowers, swirling up countless fluorescent blue petals.

Flowers fluttered and danced across the dead dragon's body, and the enormous dragon body then turned into petals and vanished.

Remaining in place, it is no longer a ferocious dragon, but a beautiful young girl sitting quietly in a wooden wheelchair.

She had long, light purple hair similar to Xia Die's, which fell smoothly over her shoulders. Her delicate face had a fragile and pure beauty, and a gentle smile played at the corners of her lips.

The smooth, jade-like feet, unobstructed by the lunchbox, were exposed to the air.
