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

Chapter 203 Time Barrier, Seele's Worries

……

"As you know, in order to flex my muscles in response to the impact of the United Nations, I think 'starting a social gathering' would be a good idea after much thought."

During a meeting within the Firemoth organization, Mei laid out all her thoughts.

Those participating in the meeting included heads of various research institutes (or top researchers), such as Mebius, Spassy, ​​Einstein, and Wilweh, as well as captains and key members of various special operations teams, such as Kevin, Hen, Himeko, and Kosmo.

Wilvi was the first to express her support for May's suggestion. She wouldn't be Wilvi if she didn't support something like this. However, May decisively rejected Wilvi's idea of ​​volunteering to host the entire social event.

Einstein subsequently expressed his support. This brilliant 24-year-old PhD was humorous, witty, and not rigid, and he was particularly supportive of both flexing his muscles and attending social gatherings.

Möbius then nodded in support. She was actually quite the comedian, and more importantly, she particularly disliked the United Nations; many of her lockdown orders back then were issued by the UN!

These few "smart people" expressed their support, and the rest of the group, not wanting to refuse, readily agreed. Himeko even offered a few suggestions with great interest and stated that she would definitely lead the entire team to participate!

After the meeting concluded, Mei suddenly asked Hen, "How's your observation of Yun Fuyu going?"

Unlike El Innes, this time, Hen did not express trust unequivocally.

He hesitated for a moment before carefully choosing his words: "Perhaps it's because of... Seele, but this kid has absolutely no respect for authority. Since he's an unofficial member of the team, he's also very lazy when it comes to missions, always only going out at the end of the month to boost his performance..."

After briefly describing his performance, Hen concluded, "For the time being, I don't see any threat from Yun Fuyu. His relationship with Xier is genuine, so I'm relatively at ease about that."

Another thing is, this kid is exceptionally rude to me, and he often sneaks off to see Gretchen! Luckily, his mother is always watching over him and hasn't given him any chance (actually, there are still opportunities, at least they've added each other as friends and become acquainted), otherwise Hen would have been suffocating long ago! (A father's resentment)

Mei nodded to indicate that she understood, but did not express any other opinion. Afterwards, the meeting discussed the "Continental Deployment Plan," the "Fusion Warrior Plan," the "Armed Doll Plan," the "Stigmata Plan," and so on, until it ended at dusk.

……

Hen, along with Kosmo and Desdobia, who had just returned from an "exploration" trip to the Americas, planned to find a place for a meal among friends. On the way, they happened to run into Yun Fuyu, who was hurrying by.

Upon spotting these individuals, Yun Fuyu's eyes lit up, and he approached to greet them. After a few perfunctory pleasantries, Hen introduced Yun Fuyu to Kosmo and the other man: "This kid is the one who traveled with the Herrscher. After participating in the fusion surgery, his strength is no less than Kevin's."

Desdobia covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, while nudging Kosmo next to her: "Really? Even stronger than Boss Kevin?"

Kosmo's biggest idol was Kevin, and he looked puzzled, clearly not believing it.

Yun Fuyu instinctively wanted to say something modest, but suddenly stopped, and finally nodded slightly: "That's right."

They acted as if it were their own business, without a trace of humility.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment, and Hen quickly said, "I'm going to take them both out for a meal as a celebration to welcome them back. Are you interested?"

Yun Fuyu shook her head: "No, I have something to do."

He suddenly smiled brightly: "It's a pleasure to meet you both. I'll prepare a gift for you when I have time, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied! Have a great time."

Desdovia smiled and nodded, "No need to be so polite. But we would be very happy to receive a gift!"

Kosmo didn't have a good impression of this guy who was trying to "piggyback on the idol's fame," but after hearing these words, he didn't have a bad impression either. He just nodded silently, indicating that "Desdobia is right."

With a wave, Yun Fuyu bid them farewell and hurriedly returned to her dormitory, shutting down her senses to fall into deep thought.

He had something very important to do—the current civilization, the "present timeline" of Kiana, had not lowered her guard against Erinis despite its destruction. Through her numerous attempts and probes, she had already vaguely touched the "time barrier" that "she" had set up.

……

……

There is one thing I must mention.

For Seele, the Yun Fuyu at this moment was the Yun Fuyu she loved and clung to, the Yun Fuyu she had always known as the One Who Connects Cause and Effect.

After experiencing so many stories, her feelings for him had reached an extreme. If converted into a favorability rating, it would be 100 out of 100, no more.

However, she also knew deeply that Yun Fuyu's initial affection was for the pitiful and adorable Bai Xier. Therefore, she had always suppressed her own feelings and entrusted Xier's identity to Xier.

As long as I can see him and be with him, it's not a big deal...

But for Xi'er, her feelings for Yun Fuyu were particularly complicated.

One question: Is the current cloud-supplied rain the same cloud-supplied rain as before?

Seele was always afraid that the overwhelming power and the excessively long memories/knowledge from the Imaginary Tree would make Yun Fuyu no longer himself.

The existence of Hyde is a clear example. The power and knowledge of the Quanta Sea directly corrupted Seele. If Seele hadn't been present at the time and hadn't formed a fateful bond with him, she might have truly been replaced by him.

From the perspectives of essence, memory, and soul, there is no doubt that he is indeed Yun Fuyu. However, now that he knows his identity, has accepted the status of a god above gods, and wields an extremely magical power, the only thing missing is the complete acceptance of that power/memories. Is the Yun Fuyu of today truly Yun Fuyu?

Furthermore, the God of Gods' schemes regarding the Quantum Sea and Seele inevitably made Seele feel fear and distance towards him.

Fortunately, Yun Fuyu performed very well in the "Saving the Herrscher" segment. Even in the final scene of "Awakening the Herrscher," which was a performance, Seele could still feel his burning passion.

But after that, things started to get strange... Although he didn't say it, Seele was also a "god," and she knew that Yun Fuyu's rewriting of the fate of the Herrschers and thirty million people did not come without a price.

His power to modify the stories of previous civilizations seems limited, and the price to pay for exhausting that power is obvious—it is Alicia's humanity that allows him to act on behalf of destiny in a human form. If this limited power is depleted, then his humanity will also be completely eroded.

By then, there will be no more Yunfuyu in the world. In fact, the Yunfuyu of today has already embarked on that path and may no longer be the Yunfuyu of the past.

Seele, whose strength was far inferior to his, was powerless to do anything about it and could only try her best to stay by his side, hoping to become one of his anchors.

Everything has changed, so why don't I feel happy? Instead, I'm becoming increasingly worried.

Seele was secretly heartbroken.

Besides, how could Seele be heartless and not miss the people of the present civilization? If it really takes 55,000 years to return to that era, what would everyone be like then?

She was exhausted.

Moreover, my mind was in turmoil, and I didn't know what to do.
