Chapter 1500

"Otherwise, time and time again, why would Kiana and the others feel that this world will eventually become better?"

"Since the confrontation with the Stigma Project is a battle of human 【self】 vs 【abstraction】..."

"Then, this battle that decides the fate of all humanity should be launched by all of humanity together!"

As soon as this plot appeared, it instantly sublimated the plot theme of the entire finale.

If it were said that relying solely on the protagonist group to save the world was indeed very consistent with the theme of 'Honkai Impact 3rd' all along—

Beautiful girls saving the world, right.

But in that case, it felt a bit like... the protagonist group was acting as nannies for all of humanity.

Although the theme was also quite positive, it was ultimately too empty, and all the humans in the world became tools to push the plot forward.

But now.

The story turned again and again, and finally discovered that saving the world and saving humanity was not just the business of the protagonist group.

They also needed humanity to cooperate and realize it themselves before they could truly save humanity.

This was a digging and exploration of 【human nature】, worth deep thought.

Just like the finale of 'Ultraman Tiga', humanity cannot always expect Ultraman to save them.

Because many times, even 【heroes】 cannot save those humans who have already given up on treatment.

Of course, this world didn't have tokusatsu dramas, so the players only felt that the story of this chapter was awesome.

Are you sure this is the depth that a 12+ plot should have?

Although 'Honkai Impact 3rd' is labeled as a 12+ game, after the 'Thus Spoke Apocalypse' chapter, players didn't think this story was one that children could understand.

By comparison, the story of 'Genshin Impact' is more like 12+.

In the game.

Theresa transformed into a life mentor, entering the dreams to wake up those immersed in them.

Seeing this, many players couldn't help but start thinking.

Was this approach of the protagonist group too ideal?

Thinking from another perspective, if the Stigma Project appeared in reality, I'm afraid I wouldn't want to wake up from that carefree dream either.

At least... more than half of the people wouldn't want to walk out of that 【happy】 dream, right?

Very good!

When the players had this thought, they started to get curious about how Theresa was going to do it.

The perspective was divided into three parts.

Children, adults, the elderly.

Children were the easiest to handle.

As long as you give them a fantasy and a goal, they will imagine and discuss it themselves.

As long as the scope of discussion gets larger and larger, the children themselves will find the miracle of 【change】, influencing others who are blended into this dream.

"The first step to becoming an adventurer is to wake up from 【your own dream】."

"Everyone dreams, and in the world of dreams, we can imagine all kinds of things."

"But... this is not enough, because compared to the things we can dream of now, there are many interesting things hidden in this world that we can't even imagine~"

"The creativity and imagination hidden in your hearts... can depict a future that no one has ever seen, and your enthusiasm will make your dreams fly higher and higher."

Theresa used the children's imagination to let them imagine things that transcended this dream.

Sure enough, the naive little brats immediately had an epiphany.

They planned to draw a spaceship even more powerful than the one in the book, then build it with their own hands and fly it into the sky.

Subsequently, these children started chattering and discussing enthusiastically.

It looked very smooth.

Theresa was suddenly full of confidence.

Although this was the first shallow step, there was no doubt—【change】 had already quietly occurred.

However, this was all she could do.

Afterward, she went to the next dream without stopping for a moment.

During this period, she met Seele who came to help.

Because of Seele's ability to perceive bubble universes, it also had a certain effect on the collective dream.

Therefore, Theresa went to the next dream with Seele.

This time, the two met an emotionally agitated adult woman.

Before they even started to persuade her, the woman started cursing and telling them to get lost.

This scene directly made Dark Seele angry, and she bluntly told the other party that this was a dream, not reality, and that they were here to help the woman escape the dream.

And after listening to Dark Seele's words, the woman was stunned for a moment, then sneered and asked: "Why?"

"Even if what you say is true, why... must I wake up?"

"Reality is already so painful, why deprive me of the right to dream?"

Sure enough, this step wasn't that easy...

Adult life, after all, isn't as beautiful as a child's.

Reality is full of helplessness and injustice, pain makes people unable to breathe, and no matter what methods are used, the status quo cannot be changed...

Facing such a life, people always subconsciously want to escape, give up thinking, numb their hearts, and hide in their own world.

Just like this woman... even in this dream, there was no beauty she had once craved.

Because in reality, they wouldn't dream anymore.

Countless players started to get curious.

Facing someone so full of despair about life, what was Theresa going to do?

"..."

Theresa fell into a long silence.

Facing this woman, she thought of her former self.

At that time, she had just been cultivated by Otto as A-310.

As a homunculus, she couldn't integrate into other groups and could only live numbly.

Until she met Cecilia.

At that time, the other party said to her—

【The more people suppress themselves, the more they crave beauty deep in their hearts; it is precisely because of the gap of not being able to get what they want that they temporarily lose the courage to move forward.】

【What they need is just an opportunity, perhaps a touching story, perhaps a melodious piece of music, perhaps a game that resonates...】

"She said, actually everyone is much braver than they imagine, enough to face the unsatisfactory reality in life and create new possibilities."

Theresa said a lot.

But the woman sneered: "You said so much about yourself, what... do you understand about me?"

Theresa nodded: "You're right, the person who understands you best is of course yourself."

"The things you once craved, the dreams you sought, the mood at that time, you remember it all; that is the source of your courage, the motivation to move forward, it is your heart."

"Staying here forever won't give you satisfaction either, just pointlessly wasting time; you should give your heart another chance, right?"

After speaking, Theresa pulled Seele and left.

This made Seele feel very strange.

Just giving that woman a lecture and that's it? But the other party didn't seem to have any reaction at all...

Regarding this, Theresa also sighed.

"We cannot change a person's habits through preaching, but those thoughts just now undoubtedly caused some psychological impact on her."

"For an adult, these changes are enough."

And...
