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

Chapter 31 Seele's Abnormality

……

There's not much to say about the battle itself. After all, it was just basic training, and the combined strength of everyone completely overwhelmed the Temple-class Honkai Beast.

This Temple-class Honkai Beast is indeed somewhat special, as it may have been imbued with a trace of the Sixth Herrscher's aura, as it is able to create a small domain. Within this domain, its injuries heal rapidly, while other creatures seem to be suppressed. However, this characteristic is very, very weak.

Therefore, in the actual battle, Yun Fuyu took the lead, while others either aimed their fire from the high ground or provided support from a distance. Hua, on the other hand, served as the rear guard, just in case.

The result was rather unexpected. Although it was Yun Fuyu's first time officially stepping onto the battlefield, perhaps because he had watched the battle of the Herrscher up close before, the Herrscher's aura was far stronger than that of the Temple-level Honkai Beast, so he felt no pressure at all and performed exceptionally well, defeating the Honkai Beast with a single blow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the high-altitude firepower was unleashed downwards without restraint, forcing Yun Fuyu to retreat to avoid being caught in the crossfire. Once the dust and sparks had settled, the shield in the Honkai Beast's hand was already tattered and broken.

So, Yun Fuyu took the lead in the attack, while the others provided support. They killed the Honkai Beast in one fell swoop. Then, they hurriedly preserved the Honkai Beast's body, while others bit their pens to make simple notes of the battle, including the battle process and the analysis of the Honkai Beast's power, waiting to fill in the details and submit them when they got back.

Hua was completely dumbfounded. Was this guy named Yun Fuyu really a newbie?! In terms of pure strength alone, he was even stronger than him!

Although Hua has been with the Firemoth for three years, her Honkai energy adaptability is only around 300-400, which is considered above average among warriors. But the new recruit Yun Fuyu in front of her was just calling her "senior" and "instructor"... Are you playing me?

Hua didn't voice her complaint; she simply nodded approvingly, indicating that everyone had performed well. However, she wasn't good with words, so she didn't offer any praise.

The mission was over, and it was time to board the ship and head back. But Yun Fuyu had a sudden thought and decided to stay there for another day while the others went back first.

Hua: "Are you alright?"

Yun Fuyu: "It's okay, really it's okay. I'll go back tomorrow, don't worry about me."

There's a small base here, so security isn't really a concern. Hua was puzzled, but it wasn't her business, so she left with the new recruits of the fifth squad.

On the third squad side, the recruits' group leader wanted to stay, but they certainly wouldn't. So they politely said goodbye, saying they would help Yun Fuyu ask for leave, and then they all left.

It was already dark when Yun Fuyu breathed a sigh of relief and entered the temporary base with his bag. After showing his identification and stating his purpose, the person in charge assigned him a basement room. However, there was electricity, water, and food, so the conditions were actually quite good.

After browsing the forums in her room for a while out of boredom, Yun Fuyu asked Hen for leave online and went to bed early.

"..."

In a dream.

Today, Seele walked over steadily, step by step. When Yun Fuyu opened his eyes, he was startled to see that the girl was wearing a black dress, which was clearly the attire of the Herrscher of Death.

After Xi'er approached, she pretended to cough twice while covering her mouth, and then said, "Yun Fuyu, there's something I want to tell you."

Yun Fuyu: "...Don't tell me, let me guess first. Is the current Seele actually two Seeles?"

Seele's eyes sparkled: "Hmph, you figured it out?"

Yun Fuyu: "...I guessed."

No matter where you are, there are two Seele, that's normal, right? Haha, hahaha (awkward laughter)...

Seele sat beside him as always, explaining in a gentle voice, "Actually, when Seele and Apoptosis merged into one, I already knew what fate would bring. Because of our soul link, we wouldn't lose ourselves; instead, we would usurp the Herrscher's consciousness. What happened afterward was mainly to fake my death and escape..."

At this point, the black-haired Seele nudged Yun Fuyu's shoulder and then stared at him meaningfully.

Stare~

Stare~

stare--

Yun Fuyu suddenly realized what had happened and connected the dots. Xier had indeed been acting all along—her fight to the death with the Fire Moth, her deliberate display of emotion, her injury to Yun Fuyu, and her subsequent suicide…it was all an act!

But this black-haired Seele didn't say it directly; instead, she hinted at it in this way, which meant... firstly, she didn't want to say it aloud because it would make her seem scheming, and what girl wants that kind of impression? Secondly, she didn't want to be explicit because some of her actions might not be entirely acting...

Therefore, it's best to keep things unspoken and not overthink or ask questions. Letting things take their natural course is the best option.

Yun Fuyu blinked: "Oh, Xier is so smart!"

"..."

Seele was speechless for a moment, then smiled sweetly: "You can say that compliment later."

“After our consciousnesses merge, Seele is me, and I am Seele. We are intertwined, yet each of us remains distinct. Of course, I guess you can’t tell at all, because we were all Seele to begin with.”

Seele, with her black hair, stood up and twirled gracefully. Her black short skirt fluttered like a flower, finally falling to cling to her rounded, jade-like legs, leaving an alluring glimpse of her private area between her skirt and stockings.

Xi'er sat down again, looked at the stunned Yun Fuyu, and raised an eyebrow at him slightly: "So now, can you tell who I am?"

Black mini skirts are actually quite easy for girls to pull off, but they do require fair skin, a slim waist, and long legs. The girl before us, Seele, had a terrifying demon-head lock binding her slender waist, and her shapely legs were clad in black stockings. The black mini skirt served as a transition, highlighting both her beautiful figure and that captivatingly alluring area.

It's so beautiful, it's absolutely stunning!

Yun Fuyu: "Yes. You are Seele, not the Seele I know (the one I created), but you are also the Seele I know (after merging, you are the same person)."

She did this to differentiate herself from Seele (the creator) in terms of appearance.

The black-haired Seele was satisfied with his answer, and then, feeling a surge of curiosity, she blurted out her entire plan. This included usurping the Herrscher's consciousness, injuring Yun Fuyu to prevent him from being suspected, and the preparations for her resurrection… all of this was her doing!

Seele smiled and said, "So now, can you repeat that compliment?"

Yun Fuyu sighed helplessly, "Xi'er, the only word that comes to mind is 'exceptionally intelligent,' but it doesn't seem to be enough to describe you."

Seele was satisfied this time.

When he said "Seele is so smart" before, it was just to change the subject. But this time, when he praised Seele, it was only for "her." Even if we're all Seele, even if we're inseparable, some things can't be shared!

("Some things" refers to Yun Fuyu's praise and evaluation of Xier. It absolutely does not refer to feelings! Absolutely!)

Even though Seele and others are facing the same Cloud and Rain, the feelings Cloud and Rain have for Seele and others cannot be confused and must be separated!
