Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Topa calmed herself down. Although she admitted that she couldn't outmaneuver Emerald in a game of wrist-wrestling, she couldn't let herself be led by the nose forever.

"...May I ask why?"

Topa thought about it calmly for a moment and then asked about the matter.

In her opinion, the threat level of fireworks was... not so bad?

It's at least safer than a ruthless ruler like Huanlong.

"I guess you want to ask why we didn't target the more dangerous Ms. Huanlong, right?"

"...That's right."

"Well... the answer is quite simple. Because the path to destruction is about destruction, destruction is the goal, but the means are not necessarily necessary. So, the absolute power that Burning Wind possesses, the endless army that Star Howl commands, and the mental manipulation of Illusionary Clouds are all acceptable as long as they can lead to the end of destruction."

Jade sighed.

"Moreover, they also have a desire for destruction—although to us it is just a large-scale invasion of extreme cruelty, it is undeniable that the antimatter legion can be persuaded, or even form a temporary alliance, under special conditions."

"...Special conditions, like now?"

Toppa began to organize his thoughts.

"Yes."

Jade nodded.

But even Jade sighed softly over the phone.

The most crucial point is that Huanlong was ordered by Nanook, and Nanook is currently not here.

Not to mention that Huanlong's own stance is somewhat problematic.

Oh, and Huanlong is indeed more willing to think than the other Great Lords of Annihilation.

Various factors enabled Liu Bai and Huan Long to live together.

“But pleasure is different… not slander, Toppa, what kind of organization do you think the Masked Fools are?”

"It is an organization that... uses any means necessary for selfish purposes."

Toppa gathered his thoughts and gave Jade the answer it most wanted.

"Yes."

Emerald's voice revealed her approval of the younger generation, "Destruction is not the privilege of 'destruction,' otherwise Nanuk would not have regarded the Annihilation Gang as insects. The Star God is not something that ordinary people can understand, but it is certain that most destinies do not advocate using any means to achieve their goals."

"...But pleasure...actually, is more about the goal?"

Those who think that the followers of the Joyful Believers only have fun and don't kill are simply those who happen to see the gentle side of Joyful Believers or happen to be beneficiaries of the fun.

"It can be understood this way: their purpose is inherently abstract."

If a person needs to urinate, they can use a dry toilet or a public toilet. If all else fails, they can find a corner, or even shamelessly take off their pants in the street.

If a legion wants to destroy a civilization, it can also send out the Burning Wind, Star Howl, or Illusion.

But what about those who crave pleasure and want to find enjoyment...?

Ultimately, what is the definition of "pleasure"?

"Senior Jadeite, are you saying... that Fireworks intends to destroy us?"

"That's not the case."

Emerald denied this, "But she... was probably anticipating our internal strife and wanted to see which way we would go."

"...What difference does that make from destruction?"

"Yes—and you can't guarantee she'll always think that way."

Jade's tone also revealed a hint of helplessness.

“It’s hard to be sure what their goal is until they achieve it—even I can only make preliminary speculations.”

A joyful believer can lie low and dormant for the sake of pleasure, or immediately discard all previous actions for the same reason.

Jade couldn't understand how Liu Bai managed to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with Fireworks.

"...Okay, anyway, my goal is very clear, right?"

Topa quickly grasped the key point: "Suppress the fireworks."

"That's one way to put it—but the actual process is different from what you expect."

Emerald gave a veto that surprised Toppa.

"What you need to do is get Hanabi and the BOSS to have more contact—it's hard to win if you're facing Hanabi alone."

Jade clarified Toppa's mission.

Liu Bai clearly has the advantage over Hanabi.

She... although she blew away the uncertainty of pleasure, people do have "certainty". If it were a head-on confrontation, she was fully confident of defeating Hanabi, but it was meaningless.

This matter requires Liu Bai's intervention—especially now that Hua Huo is particularly interested in Liu Bai.

Jade must ensure that the flower-shaped jadeite is inseparable from the willow-white jadeite before the flower-shaped jadeite loses interest in the willow-white jadeite.

"Ah... let me guess, it must be fucking, right?"

Toppa's eyes immediately turned dead fish-like again.

“That’s a really crude way of speaking, Toppa.”

Jade's tone became playful, "You're still a young girl, yet you've started denying the existence of love... How about you just pawn your love to me someday? I'll pay a hefty price."

"Never!"

"Really... Little Yelena, you need to understand that in most serious cases, love leads to sex, not love is born from spending a lot of time in bed together—although a fulfilling nightlife can enhance a couple's relationship, in short, you can't let your views on love become distorted at such a young age."

"...I don't want to hear such serious advice from single seniors."

"..."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the phone being hung up rang out.

The sound of dripping water could be heard in Toppa's ears.

Wait a minute! What did I just say?!

Did I simultaneously attack the three aspects of "older single," "never been in a relationship," and "likes to give unsolicited advice"?

It's over, it's over, it's over!

Just as Toppa was about to lose his temper, his phone received another message from Jade.

(Please... please don't say something like 'Your evaluation report is finished'...)

Ah... it's a video, the cover screenshot is of Liu Bai on the bed.

It feels like... I don't have the courage to open it.

After you've finished dealing with today's matters, please write me a review of what you saw~ Little Yelena~

—Don't say such heinous things in such a cute tone!

……

Chi~

"...Ruan Mei, what did you tie up yourself?"

Liu Bai watched as Ruan Mei, who had just finished drinking from the clean water balloon, took out a syringe from her clothes and gave herself a shot in the neck.

"Stamina enhancer".

Ruan Mei wiped her mouth, making sure she hadn't wasted a single drop, before coldly addressing the "heartless man" who had desecrated life before her, and then threw the deflated water balloon to the ground.

Before Liu Bai could even breathe a sigh of relief...

"—There is also an ultra-high concentration of the modified love potion—a modified version that can be injected directly under the skin."

...?

[Ruan Mei's favorability rating: 122 → 1220]

Wait a minute! This concentration is being multiplied directly!

"There's one more... Let's get rid of this nuisance quickly, then you won't have any reason to run away, right?"

Her eyes are practically brimming with hearts!

"...Ruan Mei, what is that medicine?"

Liu Bai looked at the other, different-colored vial peeking out from under Ruan Mei's clothes and felt a strong sense of crisis.

Incidentally, this also distracts Ruan Mei.

"Is that also a stamina enhancer?"

"No."

"That is……"

"...Then let's try an injection. Anyway, there's only one thing in the way left."

Ruan Mei thought for a moment, then took out the injection as well.

Then, with lightning speed...

Bounce back!

"……husband?"

Ruan Mei's face darkened, looking sickly.

"I'm afraid of needles, you feed me."

"...Really, you can't be so clingy."

……

"Ugh! So greasy... Wait, wait a minute! You've already used one? Oh no! We've taken too long!"

Topa, who watched the entire video from a third-person perspective, blushed crimson.

Although it's shameless... but... you can actually feel the elements of love in it.

Ugh... I can't deny... there's a slight longing for that kind of happiness...

"Oh dear~ that older sister looks troubled~? Is there anything I can do to help you~?"

"...?"

Wait a minute, who is it?

Chapter 400: Lord Hanabi's Astounding Wisdom.

"..."

It really is like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy.

Topa looked at Hanabi, who was smiling and trying to act cute, and a dark thought suddenly came to mind.

Hanabi looked at Topa, who was frowning, and was also looking forward to what surprise she might bring her.

She had taken a tour of the Far East branch, but... well, it wasn't that she came away empty-handed, but Hanabi just didn't seem to be of much interest to those people.

So Hanabi only gathered a little information and then returned after getting rid of a pink-haired girl's harassment.

With such a feast before us, everything else seems tasteless.

But what really piqued her interest was Toppa, who was frowning deeply at Liu Bai's door.

What could possibly be the reason that she was so distressed in front of Liu Bai's door?

And... something must be happening inside, right?

What Toppa could hear, "faintly at first, but not quite," Hanabi could also hear.

(To do something like this in broad daylight... this guy is truly beyond words.)
