Chapter 117 Alicia (Dad's Version)

After the explosion, Alicia slowly got up, but everything in front of her seemed to have been disturbed.

"What happened?" Alicia turned around, one of her eyes now a blue mesh.

"It's nothing but a deceptive trick!" He drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and prepared to shoot, but the bow vanished.

[Screw Gum: Interesting. Miss Alicia's location must be related to data. There was a comment when the weapon disappeared, which means the code for the bow was deleted.]

[Qian Jie: Hmm... I'm going to go find Erosion and beat him up again.]

[Alicia: No way~ Thousand Tribulations, she asked if it had already been delivered to the Captain~?]

【Alicia - Erosion: You big idiot! Hehe~?】

【Thousand Tribulations: Herrscher!!!】

[Aponia: A Thousand Calamities ~ Please Quiet Down]

[Ying: Wow, that's intense! I see two Alicias!]

[Star: No, actually there are three]

[Hotaru: You mean me, right? I've heard these words so many times, please pay attention to Kō-nii, okay?]

[Star: Hehe~!]

—The scene changes, and while Alicia is still confused, several data cables are tied to Alicia and pulled backward violently.

But Alicia escaped very quickly.

"Ki-Magic Spell!" Alicia now appears on a platform, wielding other weapons.

"No matter how powerful you are, you're nothing more than a little mouse to me!" The Holy Lord's voice rang out, and countless modules rose into the sky before crashing down on Alicia's location.

"Wait for the end of the world! I will gladly destroy your world!"

Alicia mechanically dodges the attacks, but soon the scene is paused, and Alicia reappears in the original area.

"Could it be that time has been..." The old man discovered something, but a building crashed directly towards Alicia, who had no way to dodge.

"A shield!" A pink shield appeared between Alicia and the building, but...

"Dad can't hold on much longer—!"

Another line of code appeared, and Alicia's shield and part of her arm were deleted.

With a loud "BOOM!", Alicia, who only had one hand left, dodged the attack, but was still caught in the shockwave and fell to the ground some distance away.

"Flesh and blood body~" the Holy Lord's voice rang out, and something else crashed down, pinning Alicia down.

"The legendary end of the world has arrived!" The scene shifts to a massive building crashing down on Alicia's location.

[Qian Jie: No, I still have to fight the Herrscher of Corruption]

[Star: How about we fight Alicia first?]

[Alicia: Why me, Captain?]

[Star: Erosion uses your appearance, so fighting her is pretty much the same as fighting you. Why doesn't Qianjie just challenge Alicia directly?]

[Qian Jie: ...Tch~!]

— Several data cables were embedded deep within the building, pulling out Alicia who was bound.

"It's a pity you'll never see me rule the world again!" Alicia was pulled towards the big eyeball.

"However, you can become a visitor to another world!"

[Black Tower: Looking at the messy code on her lips, I saw a smile.]

[Screw Gum: Everything is code. Perhaps Miss Alicia has her own reasons.]

[Star: I have to say, both the original and fan-made versions of Alicia sacrifice herself to save her companions~]

—In the scene, Alicia is swallowed by a giant eyeball.

The scene shifts to a space filled with 0s and 1s, where Alicia is falling downwards.

"My magic is no match for it."

"I really want to take a nap~" Alicia continued to fall into the darkness...

A bulky CRT computer appeared on the screen, with countless data points flashing incessantly, and countless 0s and 1s spread across the display...

"Beep beep beep...beep!"

A sound rang out, the progress bar instantly jumped to 100%, and the message "Goodbye, Alicia" appeared...

"I'm sorry, that was just wishful thinking on your part (I'm sorry to disappoint you)."

Countless data points flashed by again, and the black screen turned red.

Countless 0s and 1s began to converge and outline various items marked with the same symbol.

"It's been a long time since I've been back to my old shop. I want to see my old friends. I wonder how they are doing now."

The scene shifts, and countless dark computers begin to emit a red glow.

[ScrewGumm: I see. He sacrificed himself to lead a massive amount of data, and used that data to rebuild those friends.]

[Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: So this is what happened back then...]

【Eden: Airi~】

Alicia: Sorry everyone!

"It's so quiet here without them."

With its minimalist, straight lines, Alicia stretches her hand forward, and then, a vibrant Eden appears.

“Oh~ Old Goat~” Eden (Tru’s mother) took Alicia’s hand and spoke.

[Padoflis: Wow! Eden's voice sounds so old]

【Eden: Paddo~】

"I know~" Eden finished speaking, and Alicia returned to her original form and colors.

"Dad's been waiting so long, the flowers are practically withered." Alicia stood in a certain spot, then turned around to look behind her.

Then, a background music track called "True" started playing.

“Without a doubt, it is the power of light that has brought us together,” Mebius (Daolong) said, turning to Alicia.

"My accomplice~"

[Mebius: ...Tch~ Who's in cahoots with Alicia?!]

[Star: Hehe~]

"Ah~ without a doubt, this was influenced by me." Alicia absorbed Mebius's power, and then a small platform resembling a small airplane appeared. Alicia stood on it and flew forward.

Ahead, countless tiny, data-driven, airplane-like objects appeared and attempted to attack Alicia.

"This time, we won't fail again!" Qianjie (Afu) appeared from behind, his flaming fist knocking down the small planes.

"Are you ready? It's time for an eye for an eye!" Wilvi (Xiaoyu) appeared.

“Old friend.” Aponia (Black) appeared and sent his power to Alicia.

"May the power of hope be with you." Countless golden butterflies flew into the sky with Alicia.

[Thousand Tribulations: Hahahahahaha... Aponia! Hahahaha...]

[Star: Is it that funny?]

[Thousand Tribulations: Hmm, that's hilarious. I'll keep making fun of Aponia from now on!]

[Aponia: A Thousand Calamities ~ Please Quiet Down]

"We are the world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the big-eyed creature's eyes became disordered, and a beam of light and a halo of dissipated energy emanated from the top of its head.

“That’s right, we must use demons to defeat demons.” Sakura (Tru), Padofelis, and Kosmo appear on the screen.
