Chapter 176

Welt: "I have a premonition... the dream Himeko mentioned... should be the story that happened in my hometown..."

Himeko: "Your... hometown?"

Welt: "That's right, my hometown once encountered a disaster called Honkai, to fight this disaster, we exhausted everything, sacrificed many people..."

Welt: "And among them, there was an old friend I knew well..."

Welt: "Her name, also called Himeko..."

March 7th: "What?!"

March 7th: "Uncle Yang's hometown also has a Himeko?"

Dan Heng: "Is it just the same name?"

Stelle: "Since Uncle Yang brought it up, it definitely isn't as simple as just the same name, right?"

Welt: "Hmm... even the appearance is basically exactly the same."

Welt: "Except the temperament is a bit different."

Himeko: "Is that how it is?"

Himeko: "No wonder your expression was a bit strange when you first saw me."

Himeko: "Did you mistake me for an old friend of yours?"

Welt: "Yes. It's just a pity that I later realized you are not the old friend I knew."

Welt: "But I didn't expect you to have had such a dream..."

Welt: "Does this imply... that there is some inexplicable connection between you and her?"

Stelle: "Good grief, the universe is so big, so there's more than one Sister Himeko, huh?"

Stelle: "What kind of principle is this?"

Dr. Ratio: "An interesting phenomenon. It somewhat aligns with the concept of an alter-ego."

Herta: "No need to be surprised. The universe is vast and boundless; nothing is strange."

March 7th: "Ah! I suddenly remembered!"

March 7th: "Mr. Yang also thought Miss Huang Quan looked like an old friend before."

March 7th: "Could it be that there is also a Miss Huang Quan in Mr. Yang's hometown?"

Welt: "Her name isn't Huang Quan, but her appearance is indeed very similar to Miss Huang Quan."

Welt: "Actually, during the time I've been following the Express, I have already seen many figures similar to the old friends from my hometown."

Stelle: "Then Mr. Yang, is there another me in your hometown?"

Welt: "This... judging from my impressions, there shouldn't be."

Stelle: "Damn, then it seems I'm not special at all!"

Firefly: "On the contrary, this just proves that you are one of a kind!"

Stelle: "Being one of a kind isn't necessarily good. I also want another good sister to go on adventures with me."

Stelle: "After all, the universe is dangerous, and two fists are no match for four hands!"

Stelle: "But if there were another me, wouldn't I have four fists?"

Stelle: "That way I wouldn't get beaten up!"

Miss Qingque: "But four fists are no match for eight hands. If you're destined for a beating, you'll still get one."

Stelle: "It's fine. Having a good sister to take a beating with me is better than taking it alone!"

Silver Wolf: "What is this, 'sharing weal and woe'?"

Silver Wolf: "Besides, haven't you already found a good sister?"

Silver Wolf: "You dream of Stellar Jades, and Ying dreams of Primogems."

Silver Wolf: "I don't believe you two have no connection."

Paimon: "Hehe, this is truly a fate that spans the universe!"

Paimon: "Paimon also thinks they must be good sisters from different parents!"

Stelle: "So, sister, come quickly. If we join forces, won't we be able to punch Aeons and kick Emanators?"

Ying: "Uh... isn't that too exaggerated?"

Ying: "I can't even beat the gods in Teyvat right now."

Miss Qingque: "You have gods in Teyvat too?"

Miss Qingque: "What level are they?"

Paimon: "Well... one slash can carve out a great canyon... a casual strike can create an island in the sea... or use wind to level a mountain..."

Paimon: "What level does that count as?"

Stelle: "Oh?"

Stelle: "A planet not connected to the universe has such powerhouses?"

Stelle: "Sounds pretty good!"

Dr. Ratio: "Not a low level, though it doesn't reach the threshold of an Emanator."

Dr. Ratio: "But it can be considered the strength of a top-tier Pathstrider."

Venti: "Ehe, a top-tier Pathstrider—does that mean I don't have to worry about making money?"

Welt: "Top-tier Pathstriders are basically honored guests of all major factions if they wish to be."

Welt: "Seeking wealth alone is not a difficult task."

March 7th: "Such a person, as long as they don't encounter an Emanator, can basically walk sideways, right?"

Himeko: "Walking sideways is a bit of an exaggeration, but at least they can resolve most crises."

Stelle: "In that case, sister, when you come, kidnap all the gods from your hometown!"

Stelle: "Wouldn't it be wonderful to have them join the Express?"

Stelle: "Maybe they could become even stronger once they tread a Path?"

Stelle: "Then our Express would make a killing!!"

Ying: "Can we really do that?"

Ying: "Hmm... I'll give it a try when the time comes!"

The video continues.

Stelle thought for a moment,

and in the end, chose to support Robin in treading the Path of Harmony.

【Heh... so that's how it is.】

【I have understood everyone's arguments.】

【Raising these questions was only to clarify one thing: Penacony's plight cannot be saved by Harmony. The only thing that can truly establish a paradise of sweet dreams is—the Order that uses the strong to control the weak.】

【I know how painful it is when people suffer, how lost they are when they lose their way, and how frustrated they are when things go against their wishes... or even despair.】

【All of this causes me pain, because this cannot be called happiness at all.】

【We must teach the weak how to live happily.】

【And this life is not the fastidiousness that the elite and noble talk about, but the absolute meaning of the way of survival that belongs to humans.】

March 7th: "Eh, I thought you would choose not to support it."

Stelle: "Emotion would drive me to choose not to support it, but reason drives me to choose to support it."

Stelle: "Neither of these two answers can be considered perfect for the person making the choice."

Stelle: "Because no matter which one you choose, it might lead to another kind of tragedy."

Furina: "A caged bird is safe, but it cannot yearn for the high sky, which makes it feel like it has lost its value."

Furina: "But if you let it fly freely, you might see the day it falls from the sky..."

Furina: "Sigh... how is one supposed to choose?"

Furina: "Nothing you choose is right..."

Zhongli: "There are many things in the world that have no perfect solution."

Zhongli: "When encountering such things, you might as well ask yourself: which one suits you best?"

Zhongli: "As long as your conscience is clear, the choice itself is not actually important."

Zhongli: "We cannot change the outcome brought about by the choice; we only have the right to choose."

Zhong Li: "We cannot change the outcome brought about by our choices; we only have the right to choose."
