Honkai Impact: Travel Notes of the Tree and the Sea

The ice blue sword beside Tian Na parried Kevin's attacks again and again.

Not long ago, Tian'an had been observing the Fire Chasing Moth through consciousness recall since the beginning of their establishment. Because he is only a conscious body, Tian'an can only watch them as a bystander. In addition, he cannot even perform the most basic perception.

Tian'an watched them transform from ordinary humans to "inhuman" existences after undergoing the so-called super-transformation surgery. Step by step, he was destroyed by real, non-human beings.

And Kevin, during that period, held the number one position with absolute strength until the end.

Although Tian'an, who was in the conscious body at the time, was unable to sense and detect, his intuition told him that the girl, Alicia, who regarded herself as "second", was definitely not as simple as she appeared. It's just a pity that due to the restrictions of Hui Shuo, Tian Na was unable to see the final dance.

"Qiang——"

The two swords intertwined again, and Tian Na looked at Kevin with a calmer look than before. They were just ordinary people at the beginning, but they had to shoulder the responsibility of saving mankind. The Hengsha Project, the Ark Project...the light that carries humanity's hope failed one after another, until the final seed fell into Kevin's hands - the Stigmata Project.

Tian Na suddenly waved down the ice blue sword in his hand, knocking Kevin back again. Up to now, Tiannan has hardly left his position. Facing Kevin's attack, Tiannan only used "Pisces" to defend.

After all, Tiannan, who had witnessed everything, had no intention of defeating Kevin from the beginning.

After all, the boss was abducted by Tian Na in the end, and the rest was just a process. Therefore, Kevin's stigma plan naturally loses its meaning.

Just facing Kevin's idea that as long as he could survive, it didn't matter whether he survived or not, which made Tian'an a little angry.

Tian'an, who once embarked on this journey, was just an ordinary college graduate. After getting lost in a certain forest, he inexplicably came to a strange world.

From then on, as Tian'an witnessed more and more things, the non-human parts of his body became more and more burdensome.

But throughout, Tiannan never gave up his identity as a human being.

Everyone is an independent individual, and no one is qualified to make decisions for them. Even in the face of death, some people accept it happily, while others linger on.

"You simply can't understand that when we gave everything we had, we only delayed the arrival of the end for a mere twelve hours."

"We, who are burdened with the fate of mankind, have to tell them personally that the end is coming——"

"Snapped----"

The crisp sound echoed in the basement, Tian'an stretched out his hand and kept slapping.

"Kevin, you are too arrogant and conceited."

"No one is putting all this pressure on you. All this is just your personal opinion."

"I even wonder if you have a little bit of masochistic tendencies."

Tian Na retracted his hand and looked at Kevin, who was half-kneeling on the ground with a long sword in front of him.

"As for what you said is incomprehensible..."

Tian Na sneered.

"A person's knowledge depends on what he can see."

"So, please don't use your thinking to measure me..."

"After all, I can bring a disaster that is no less than terminal to this planet at any time."

As Tian Na finished speaking, a picture emerged in Kevin's mind.

In the picture, Kevin saw a giant claw covered with dark golden scales. In the vast universe, it was impossible to imagine what kind of existence the owner of that claw was.

At the beginning of the next picture, the dark golden claws held a planet.

That's right, hold it.

In front of it, the huge star is just a plaything between its claws.

hold.

Then crush it.

The original planet suddenly turned into fragments and particles floating in the universe.

……

Kevin lowered his head, and the white hair on his forehead covered his eyes, making it impossible to see what his expression was at this moment.

After a long time, Kevin's voice with a hint of self-deprecation gradually came out of his mouth.

"What we have tried our best and even sacrificed our lives to barely fight against is just a group of bugs clashing with each other in front of you."

"No, Kevin."

"I'm not denying you."

"Being able to shake the gods with a mortal body is already a very proud achievement."

"But no matter what, you have to remember that you are a human being first, and secondly, you are a hero."

……

"Go ahead."

Kevin stretched out his hand and handed the miniature map in his hand to Tiannan.

"Huh?" Tianan stretched out his hand and took the map from Kevin's hand.

"On the map is the current headquarters of the World Snake, and it was also the last base of the Fire Chaser Moth."

"There, there is what they left behind, the last existence."

With every word he spoke, Kevin seemed to be determined. The end of the last sentence also took away the last bit of strength from Kevin.

"Since you have her crystal flower in your hand, go and have a look."

"Now I seem to understand why she looked so eagerly looking forward to it at the end."

Kevin used his sword to support his body and stood up slowly. In the previous battle, even though Tiannan was only defending, he still caused a lot of damage to Kevin's body.

"When you go, take them with you."

Kevin looked at Kiana and Mei Yi who were standing behind Tiannan.

"Let her see that her original choice was not wrong."

"Then, I hope you can give this world a real future."

"You can rest assured about this, I quite like this world."

Kevin walked towards the exit of the basement step by step. Every step he took seemed to require great effort.

Fifty thousand years ago, he was just an ordinary passionate young man. Until the disaster happened, he put everything on his shoulders. Since then, he has been living for others and for the sake of mankind all over the world.

As for now, he can finally put down his sword and start to learn to think about how to live for himself.

Tian'an looked at his figure that was gradually obscured by the door.

"Let's see if we can bring the girl named Mei over later."

"Looking at his appearance, asking him to live for himself seems harder than asking him to deal with Zhongyan."

Tian'an shook his head, turned around, led Mei, Yuexia and others into the space crack prepared by Kiana, and returned to the small garden.

After that, Tenana may need to take care of the affairs of the small garden. After all, after going to World Snake's base this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back.

Tian'an lowered his head and looked at the crystal flower in his hand.

"It seems that I may have to stay for a while this time."

"Hopefully she won't blame me for being a little late."
