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

Chapter 108 Who Cut My Internet Cable?

……

When Yun Fuyu forcefully entered the battlefield of the Herrschers, the fierce battle suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at him.

Many of the warriors were familiar faces, like similar flowers in the quantum sea's world bubble. But what surprised Yun Fuyu the most was the Herrscher.

His intuition told him that the besieged Herrscher of Death was his Seele. But the power of his dreams told him that this Seele was not his Seele.

how so?

Am I still in a dream world, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion?

Just like last time, it was Seele who broke into the illusion and brought him a glimmer of hope. Was he incapable of seeing through the illusion on his own?

In the past, Yun Fuyu relied too much on the connection provided by his dreams. When that connection could no longer guide him, he could only feel lost, unsure of which way to turn.

———Seele's Perspective Divider———

To paraphrase Seele's words, "Damn, this is really weird. Is this a simulation training or a time travel? Why am I suddenly being attacked?"

As Seele regained consciousness, countless fierce attacks approached her like a slow-motion scene from a movie.

Both to deal with the imminent danger and because she subconsciously felt that "May or Mebius may have discovered their disguise and were preparing to deal with them," Seele directly unleashed the full power of the Herrscher of Death—that is, a power far exceeding that of an ordinary Herrscher.

The burst of power gave her a brief moment of safety.

Having maintained her disguise for so long, and influenced by him and her dreams, Seele had almost come to consider herself one of the human beings. Faced with such a large-scale attack, the conflict between the Herrscher's tyranny and human rationality left her somewhat at a loss.

In addition, the bond (or dream link, whatever you want to call it) between Seele and Yun Fuyu became intermittent. It felt as if someone had cut off half of Seele's internet connection, preventing her from logging into the local area network they shared.

For a moment, Seele panicked.

Fortunately, she still had another consciousness. After decisively switching accounts, the withered aspect representing the death of the Herrscher appeared and fiercely waged war against everyone. As for Seele herself, she hurriedly began to "fix the internet cable".

When Yun Fuyu was trapped in the illusion last time, Seele found him by immersing herself in the dream and directly observing the flow of power (the direction of the oath).

But this time, Seele is engaged in battle and has no time to enter dreams, so she cannot use the same method as last time.

The battle lasted a long time, and Seele also studied the "network cable" for a long time, but she seemed to have gained nothing in both areas.

It was at this moment that Yun Fuyu stepped onto the battlefield.

The moment Seele saw him, she felt every cell in her body throb with joy; he seemed to be extremely important to her.

But this wasn't normal. Seele never doubted her feelings for him, but this unusual euphoria made her suspicious, wondering if everything before her was an illusion, and if the familiarity and warmth she felt were real.

Well, I'm still scared of being tricked by Alicia.

Even more direct than Seele's main consciousness was Apoptosis's consciousness. She used the simplest brain circuit to arrive at the simplest method—as long as she attacked Yun Fuyu, she would definitely get the truth!

If it's an illusion, attacking Yun Fuyu is equivalent to breaking the core of the illusion belonging to Xier, just as the core of Yun Fuyu's illusion is Xier. This is because they subconsciously use their subconscious to construct each other, which is a kind of heart-to-heart connection on another level.

If it's not an illusion, then things are even easier. What if the internet cable isn't working? Just use the most brutal method: use the scythe in her hand to drape the internet cable over him!

Thus, the black-haired, red-eyed girl launched a fierce attack on Yun Fuyu!

———Cloud and Rain Perspective———

When the Herrscher glared at him with a fierce look and launched a near-all-out attack, Yun Fuyu tacitly acknowledged that this was not his Seele.

Almost at the same time the girl launched her attack, Yun Fuyu discerned the form, target, and weaknesses of her next attack from her eyes, micro-expressions, and subtle movements of her arms, waist, and legs...

It wasn't that he had particularly deep combat experience, but rather that he was "fatefully linked" with Seele. Seele from different worlds ultimately share many similarities, and this Herrscher Seele was clearly no exception, almost identical to that impatient Seele who perished.

Therefore, to onlookers, it appeared as if Yun Fuyu easily dodged the Herrscher's attack and continued to rapidly approach, shouting loudly towards the fighting group, "Need help? I can hold off the Herrscher!"

Although he was targeting "Seele," it wasn't his Seele anyway. Besides, after defeating this Herrscher, he might be able to find a pattern and try to save her.

Therefore, Yun Fuyu had no psychological barriers to joining forces with others to attack "the Seele who is not Seele".

But Seele's gaze sharpened—this couldn't possibly be her idiot! That idiot had preferred to be killed by the simulated Herrscher of Death during the last social gathering battle rather than lay a hand on her!

So, this is an illusion! This guy who looks so much like him is definitely meant to disturb her Dao heart!

Hmph, although Seele's label is gentle and cute, when she gets ruthless, she'll even betray herself! (Referring to Apoptosis deceiving Creation, and the two eventually merging into one.)

For the other combatants (including Kaiwen and Hen, etc.), although there were alarm messages from the transport ship's garrison personnel in their earpieces, the Herrscher immediately attacked Yun Fuyu with a scythe, and Yun Fuyu also offered to help, so they did not object to his help, only maintaining a minimum level of vigilance.

The war is about to start.

The black-haired, red-eyed Herrscher girl closed her eyes, took a few breaths, and then opened them again, revealing a wicked smile to everyone—including Yun Fuyu.

She spoke to him in a seductive voice: "Oh, handsome brother, are you here to kill me too?"

Yun Fuyu frowned slightly: "Herrscher of the West, even if humans don't kill you, they should at least eliminate your threat."

"...Ha, even as another version of you, you're still so gentle."

Seele, with her black hair and red eyes, licked her lips, seemingly enjoying the impending battle. Her red eyes were fixed on his neck, sending a chill down one's spine.

"...?"

Before Yun Fuyu could even wonder, the girl had already raised her scythe to the side and suddenly appeared in front of him, swinging the scythe heavily down towards his neck!

(P.S.: Don't worry, Seele won't be fooled by strange adults.)

But the battle with Seele can be summed up in one sentence: they were taught by the same master, so he couldn't break her moves.

Yun Fuyu and Xier don't spend every day in love. In their dreamscape filled with light purple mist, they often use battles as a pastime... Although most of the time it's Xier who guides him based on her strength and talent, he's just a noob.

But their understanding of each other was genuine and unbiased. There was no question of them holding anything back from each other—

Can two people whose fates are intertwined and who are in love with each other really raise weapons against one another? That's why they are always completely honest with each other when it comes to fighting.

So what exactly is blocking their connection?

This situation can only be explained by what Seele sensed—her internet connection was cut off.

However, the only one who can cut off Seele's "internet cable" is Seele herself.
