Meanwhile, Fu Shi, as if expecting this, just shook her head helplessly and muttered, "I knew it…"
Fu Hua couldn't bear to look, especially at someone with her own face saying those words.
----------------------------------------
On the other side, Kiana was now looking at Mei with a face full of worry, anxiously asking, "Mei, are you hurt? Let me take a look?"
Mei gently shook her head and replied with a smile, "I'm fine, Kiana, don't worry. This time, it's all thanks to Fu Lin."
Hearing Mei's words, Kiana's worry eased a little, but her gaze couldn't help but turn toward Fu Lin.
She nodded, agreeing with Mei's words, and then said, "Yeah, this time it's really thanks to Fu Lin, but how are we supposed to repay him? He doesn't seem to lack anything!"
"Seems like that's true....."
Before Mei could finish her words, Bronya quietly walked over to the wreckage of "GodFather," her eyes slowly shifting to Cocolia, who was slumped on the ground.
She appeared dazed and miserable, as if her soul had left her body.
A complex wave of emotions surged in Bronya's heart, her eyes showing deep disappointment and sorrow as she murmured, "Mother Cocolia, it's all over now. Bronya promised that she would personally save Seele, so why, Mother, why wouldn't you believe in Bronya?"
Cocolia seemed not to hear Bronya's words at all. Her eyes were only fixed on the fallen "GodFather." Her body trembled slightly, her face full of unwillingness and hatred.
"No, this can't be true!"
Cocolia suddenly let out a scream, her voice echoing in the empty space, sounding particularly loud.
She gritted her teeth, struggling to stand up, preparing to run.
However, the moment Cocolia lifted her foot, Theresa's gaze locked onto her like an eagle, coldly saying, "Trying to run? Did you ask my Judah first?"
Judah shot out a chain, as if it were alive and seeking its target. In the blink of an eye, the chain bound Cocolia tightly, making it impossible for her to move.
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Cocolia glared resolutely at the approaching group, coldly snorting, "Hmph, I've fallen today, but there's still a chance. I will definitely... uh, , !"
Slap!
Before Cocolia could finish speaking, Theresa walked up to her and mercilessly slapped her, her eyes sharp yet tinged with pity as she said, "Cocolia, you calculated everything, but in the end, you still couldn't escape this ending. To achieve your goals, you resorted to any means necessary and harmed countless innocent people."
Cocolia sneered, her eyes full of stubbornness, "Hmph, what do you know? Everything I did was to make this world better, to give those displaced children a future free from war and disasters!"
Fu Lin couldn't help but take a step forward, his voice cold and tinged with anger, "Perhaps your original intention was good, but when you used those poor children for experiments, you were already wrong! And to retrieve Seele, who was lost in the Quantum Sea, you sacrificed innocent lives, walking further and further down the wrong path!"
He then paused slightly, his gaze slowly turning toward Wendy, with a trace of pity in his eyes, before continuing, "According to the original timeline, after Wendy was captured by Cocolia, she suffered various human experiments and ultimately had the Gem of Desire extracted, ending her life."
Speaking of which, everyone says 'The Last Lesson' was when the developers became inhuman, but actually, Wendy was the first tragedy in Honkai Impact 3rd's main story, just that no one noticed.
Especially Mei☆ and Kiana☆, who, after hearing Fu Lin's explanation, couldn't help lowering their heads, falling into memories, unable to respond for a moment.
The group also fell into silence, gazing at Wendy with complicated expressions.
Only Wendy pointed at herself with a confused face and said, "Huh? So in that previous video, I got captured by Cocolia and that was my exit scene?"
Everyone, "..."
Cocolia's eyes flickered slightly but quickly returned to their tough demeanor, "The methods and process don't matter, sacrifice is inevitable. The result is what's important!"
Otto's lips curved into a faint smile as he slowly walked forward to face Cocolia.
"The result is already clear, isn't it?" Otto's tone was calm but carried a faint trace of mockery. "You failed."
Cocolia, "..."
His gaze slowly shifted to Kiana☆, as though looking at his own creation.
"And my plan, from a certain perspective, was undoubtedly very successful." Otto's voice carried confidence. "Another 'me' successfully created a Herrscher belonging to humanity and defeated the Honkai!"
Kiana☆'s eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze sharp as a sword, piercing straight toward Otto as she said in a low and authoritative voice, "Otto, don't make me punch you in front of all these people."
Fu Lin's face also darkened, shouting angrily, "And me, have you heard the nonsense coming out of your mouth?!"
Otto coughed lightly, looking meek and eager to survive as he said, "Cough, cough, it was the other me, not me. Please pay attention to my pronouns; that world's me deserved to die, truly evil, did all sorts of bad things!"
Kiana looked at Otto blankly and responded flatly, "Oh, is that so? But that 'him' is already dead."
Upon hearing this, Otto immediately raised his hands and cheered happily, "Dead, good, dead, good! That means one less villain in the world!"
However, Fu Lin tilted his head slightly, half-smiling as he said to Otto, "In that case, why don't you go join him? After all, only dead Ottos are good Ottos, right, Otto-san~"
Otto's smile instantly froze. He let out two awkward laughs and quickly waved his hands, "Hehe, uh... better not, Theresa surely wouldn't want to lose me."
That's what he said on the surface, but in his heart, Otto muttered to himself, "Finally resurrected Kallen; there's no way I'm dying so easily, otherwise that sly little fox benefits for free."
Although Otto appeared to have moved on, deep down he still held a shred of hope.
After all, what if? What if Kallen actually still held a place for him in her heart?
At this moment, Bronya also stepped up to Cocolia. Cocolia looked up at Bronya, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she closed her mouth.
Fu Lin's eyes returned to Cocolia, calm and deep, as he said, "It has come to this point, arguing about right and wrong is meaningless. Cocolia, you must pay the price for what you've done."
Cocolia gritted her teeth, suddenly raising her head to look at everyone, "If you're going to kill me, then do it. I won't beg for mercy!"
Theresa put away Judah and sighed, "This is a law-abiding society now. We won't kill you, but you will be held accountable for your crimes and await judgment in Schicksal's prison."
Just as the crisis was completely resolved, a sudden whistling sound came from the sky.
Everyone looked up to see Durandal and Rita descending like two meteors, landing steadily on the remains of "GodFather."
They surveyed the scene, seeing the wreckage of "GodFather" and the surrounding devastation, their faces filled with solemnity and confusion.
Durandal frowned and asked with doubt, "Uh... what happened to Schicksal HQ? Did Rita and I come too late?"
Cecilia was instantly drawn to the descending Durandal, her eyes continuously scanning her up and down, an unusual feeling rising in her heart, causing her to show a thoughtful expression.
