Chapter 1007

Honkai 3.

What the heck! Who would understand if you just spout such a riddle by yourself! Paduo complained, dissatisfied. "Something heavier than the fate of the world... Could it be referring to some key item of the Fire Pursuit Journey?"

Other names: Ailixiya from glossary. Fire Pursuit Journey from glossary.

Also "the fate of the world" is generic.

Thus line translation.

After all, it's a trick; of course it won't be that easy. Yidian gazed at the ancient scale on the heavens, and also glanced at the white-haired youth's back, as a knowing smile gradually appeared at the corner of their mouth.

"Could it possibly refer to Bai'e?" Eden said, "After all, it is the person bearing the title 'Savior', and also Aglaea's intended heir. If we follow the mission given to him by Fire Pursuit Journey, his fate is closely tied to the whole Wengfalosu, and no one present bears more on his shoulders than he does."

Paduo tilted her head, thinking: "Bai'e old... ah no, Bai'e little brother is indeed quite strong, but now he's just an ordinary Golden Heir, right? Compared to Xiadie and them, there's no essential difference."

"Not necessarily him." Qianjie emerged from the shadows at some point, "Maybe it's Danhen; his power is detached from Wengfalosu. He bears the inheritance of the previous generation's Dragon Sovereign."

"Hmm..." Eden nodded, "That also counts as an answer."

"Oh dear, you all guessed so seriously~ My answer is different from yours; I guessed it's the star, okay?" Ailixiya smiled brightly, although her voice was very soft, she was also very certain, "Although for Wengfalosu, she is merely an outsider, not even a Golden Heir, but don't forget, she does have a star core inside her."

"A core capable of destroying the world, placed on the scale, should be heavier than the fate of the world itself, right?"

Paduo's eyes lit up immediately: "Wow, Ailixiya sis says something that makes a lot of sense!"

Ailixiya proudly raised her chin: "Of course~ I'm Ailixiya, after all♪"

"Xing... yes, the star core inside her is indeed important. But in my view, she and Danhen are both things heavier than the world's fate." Kaiwen calmly shook his head, "They are this world's 'variable', and also the bridge connecting Wengfalosu to the universe in the future. From this perspective, they are indeed heavier than Wengfalosu's fate."

"It seems somewhat fickle, like a... child."

Bai'e frowned in thought: "Something heavier than the world's fate? This question is truly perplexing."

Danhen reminded: "There seem to be other heavy objects in the hall that can be used to balance; let's try a few more times."

The four again found the weights hidden behind the fence, rebalanced the scale. Yet the echo in their ears remained Euronois's cold mockery.

"Futile attempts... give up... give up."

Bai'e was truly angry this time: "I've played with you long enough— it's time to admit defeat, Ms. Euronois."

The trial still hasn't ended; this time they need to let one side of the scale's pan sink further, thereby proving they have found something heavier than the world's fate.

Xing placed the flame spear and the ball staff on the pan.

"Not moving an inch..." Bai'e shook his head, "I've hefted her flame spear; it's quite heavy. Looks like this method won't work..."

Euronois's mockery continued, and Xing, too lazy to keep dealing with it, leapt onto the scale's pan in a single stride.

Still not moving an inch.

Danhen stared at her expressionlessly: "... Have you considered gaining weight?"

Euronois's voice sounded again, but this time it was somewhat annoyed, thinking everyone was treating its trial as child's play.

"In other words, we need to find something literally heavier than Wengfalosu's fate? That sounds like an unsolvable problem." Danhen analyzed calmly, "For the people of Wengfalosu, does there truly exist something more important than this land? They don't even have the option to flee to the heavens."

Spy pretend play

"Heavier than the world's fate... could it be that this riddle requires all the Golden Heirs to stand on the scale's pan?"

Besides that, Yor really couldn't think of any "thing" that could be heavier than Wengfalosu's worldly fate.

Xing has already failed, which also means that the "heavenly outside" object is not the answer to the problem; Euronois's answer must be sought within Wengfalosu.

"It's not physical weight, but rather something existing within Wengfalosu... something more abstract." Laoade remained silent for a moment, slowly opened his eyes, "I've thought of something..."

"I thought of it too!" Aniya excitedly raised her little hand, "Dad, look, are our answers the same?"

"Alright, then let's say it together."

Laoade nodded with a smile, and together with Aniya they answered:

——the fire seed of the World-burdened Titan.

——Ti, Tibao, and Aglaea

The two voices sounded simultaneously, then cut off abruptly in an instant.

"Huh? So Aniya thinks the two demigods are something heavier than the world's fate?" Laoade was somewhat surprised, "But our answers are also quite similar. I believe the fire seed of the World-burdened Titan carries such weight; since KefaLe is the original Titan, what it bears should also be heavier than Wengfalosu's fate."

——

Danhen suddenly raised his head: "Xing, I've got it. Give me March's camera."

Under everyone's gaze, Danhen placed March 7th's camera on the scale's pan.

"Indeed, for the people of Wengfalosu, the world's fate is truly too heavy a weight. But perhaps the Titan didn't expect... for us two outsiders, me and Xing, we have not yet wholeheartedly embraced this world's life and death." Danhen explained, "From our standpoint, there is a treasure more important than this world—indeed, even more important than the entire starry sky."

"That is the 'companion' we have journeyed with thus far."

As Danhen's words fell, the pan bearing the camera sank amid the sound of gears—without a doubt, Danhen had given the most correct answer.

Bai'e felt great surprise: "Who would have thought it would be this solution... fortunately we have Danhen and Xing by our side."

——

Pirate King.

"Dan Heng said it so well——!"

Luffy strongly agreed with Dan Heng's statement; in his eyes, the Astral Express is just a ship sailing in this universe's 'Star Sea', essentially no different from theirs. Being able to get to this point, companions are indeed the most important.
