Fallen Angel of Calamity

"I'm sorry, Boss Yu Feng, I can't fight alongside you anymore... I'm sorry..."

Who's speaking?

"Brother Yu Feng, it seems I'm still a step ahead in this aspect. There's no way around it, these things also depend on talent. Although you're quite talented, Brother Yu Feng, I've practiced for a long time. It's normal for Heroes like you, who goes to the battlefield to fight Honkai Beast every day, to lose to me in this aspect~"

Boss Yu Feng... Yu Feng, that sounds like someone's full name... Ah, right, Feng's full name!

"Hmm... Should I say something like... cough, Fallen Angel Mostima requests to rejoin the team! Hehe~"

Mostima... isn't that my own name?

In a daze, she opened her eyes.

She saw her younger, thinner self standing outside her former "home," reaching out to knock on the door, only to hear bursts of laughter and joy coming from inside. "Honey, our son got another perfect score today!"

"Yes, he'll definitely achieve great things! Come here, let Daddy give you a kiss. Oh, you're such a good boy!"

"Speaking of which, why hasn't your daughter come back yet?"

"Heh... maybe she went to her biological mother's place. Let's ignore her. One less of her means less trouble, and we can spend more money on our son in the future."

The girl's hand, which had been knocking on the door, paused in mid-air. She silently looked inside the door. At that moment, the cold wind howled outside, making passersby shiver.

Logically, the inside should be warm, with no drafts, comfortable air conditioning, and gentle lighting.

However, I always feel that there isn't much difference between inside and outside the door.

After her parents divorced, they each started their own families, and she felt somewhat out of place in both. Her mother would only slip her some money and urge her to leave, while her father always looked down on her as a "burden."

Ah, I remember now. The reason my parents initially divorced was because my father had an affair and had a child, but my mother also had a lover. During the lawsuit, neither side wanted me, and in the end, I was awarded to my father based on our financial situation.

She often wondered afterward, if the two of them had no feelings for each other, why did they give birth to her?

This cold world is vast, so vast that she may never be able to leave her mark all over the world in her lifetime, and may never be able to go to any particular place in her lifetime, but it is also very small, so small that she doesn't even have a place to stay.

Honestly... why did I suddenly recall memories from so long ago that I had forced myself to forget?

Her gaze fell on her younger self, who had been alone since then, leaving school to teach herself computer programming—a skill she had always possessed—and then bought her own computer by hacking... She considered herself a nostalgic person; although she had made a lot of money through hacking and changed many computers, she had always kept her original computer.

This was the only solace I had when I was wandering around.

To be honest, I'm a bit of an oddball. I had a decent "home" to go back to, at least I wasn't going to end up on the streets, but I still resolutely left that "home" because it wasn't really my "home".

So where... aren't they the same?

She gave a wry smile.

Yes, during her wandering and drifting life, her heart gradually closed off. She recklessly used her hacking skills to destroy other people's families, and then intervened in them with a sanctimonious identity, profiting from it while also enjoying the disintegration of other people's families.

She knew it was wrong, she knew her actions were twisted, but so what? She had only given some videos to both of them. If they had trusted each other enough, if they really hadn't done anything, how could they have ended up parting ways, having a huge fight, and ending up in such a mess?

Ultimately, isn't that just how the world is?

She couldn't remember how many couples she had caused to quarrel and break up, or how many families she had torn apart. Those things gradually became like casual occurrences to her, and she began to shift her focus elsewhere.

"Next... was when I met Lilith, right..."

That's what she was thinking.

However, in the story that follows, she does not meet Lilith, nor does she meet Maple. She begins to become more dark and twisted. In the struggles between families, the battles between companies, and the world of the internet, she is like an omnipotent ruler, using her hacking skills to sow discord everywhere.

She can make a small company rise to prominence overnight through a confidential document, or destroy a large enterprise through a leak of a secret. She feels satisfied watching their chairman jump off a building in despair. As for her own family, she has long since stopped caring.

Ah, it's not entirely unsatisfactory, after all, the large company that I ruined seems to be the place where the person I should call my father worked.

"Is this the path I should have taken? Ha... I'm still all alone. But one can live a carefree life... Yes, trash like me shouldn't have longed for the warmth of family. Everything is just self-deception."

If I hadn't met Lilith or Feng, my life would probably have been like this, right? Warmth and all that... it's just too far away.

For the sake of temporary warmth, he ended up in this state.

Not only does she have to take on World Serpent's missions every day, but she also has to work overtime for World Serpent from time to time. She also has a child at home who is not related to her by blood. In the end, she was also made into such a miserable state by this child.

My counterpart in another timeline would definitely laugh at my the Present self for living like a fool, right?

Look at yourself in another timeline, living such a carefree life, without any worries, seeking pleasure everywhere, helping those you like and destroying those you don't.

How pleasant...

She continued watching, wanting to see what kind of person she was in another timeline.

However, things took an unexpected turn. In another timeline, she hacked into the Fire Moth, almost paralyzing it. Just as she was feeling smug, she encountered Vill-V. In the hacking battle with Vill-V, she was completely outmatched and eventually located in her own position.

There was no way to escape. Besides hacking, Vill-V was a genius in other fields as well, but in the end, she was still captured and recruited by the Fire Moth. As for me, a guy who has no other skills besides hacking, once my location was locked, I had no way to escape and was easily captured by the Fire Moth.

At the time, there were very few volunteers in the Fusion Warrior Project who could undergo the surgery due to its extremely low success rate. Criminals like her were perfect candidates, so she was sent to the operating table, which seemed to be a death sentence.

She thought her long history of evil deeds was finally coming to an end, but she survived.

Because of her criminal record, after completing her Fusion Warrior surgery, she was to be imprisoned in the deepest dungeons and placed under the supervision of the Aponia Discipline. In addition to other reasons, she was unwilling to serve the Fire Moth and simply gave up.

And so, she became a shadow in the deepest, darkest corner.

A pink-haired girl came to see her, feeling that a beautiful girl like her shouldn't be locked up in the deepest place. But she didn't care anymore; she didn't want to be a Heroes, much less save this rotten world, so she rejected the girl.

She watched as the young child, unable to bear being bullied, finally erupted and transformed into a monster, only to be instantly killed by the Heroes wielding the holy sword.

She watched as the eloquent court minister was driven into the deepest abyss, forced into Poison Pupa, and then, after the Fusion Warrior appeared in formation, she was killed with a smile by a man who always wore a mask.

She watched from the sidelines, watching humanity sink deeper into despair day by day, her heart unmoved. She even wondered why she hadn't become Thousandth Herrscher when the Thousandth Herrscher appeared. Perhaps... Thousandth Herrscher didn't need a useless piece of trash.

Finally, a Herrscher that overturned everyone's common sense, an anti -Herrscher, the Eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, appeared, and humanity was once again plunged into an unprecedented crisis. In this critical moment, she, a Fusion Warrior who had been useless in the deepest abyss, was also pulled out and thrown into the Divine Blessing Barrier to buy time for the other Fusion Warrior.

The result was simple: she died quickly, and her story in another timeline ended just like that.

It seems like she didn't live much better than she does now... She lived her whole life without any goals. In the first half of her life, she was a big shot in the online world, but she could never satisfy her empty heart. In the second half of her life, she was just wasting her time and being a useless person.

Wait, where's Maple? Forget Maple, I haven't even seen Lilith. I only ran into Elysia, and she hasn't had any contact with Alicia since...

So why was Kevin the Heroes? Why didn't Astaroth meet Maple? Why did Beifengge end up in such a sorry state?

What's wrong with this timeline?

Then, the light and shadow shifted before her eyes, and the timeline changed. After being imprisoned in the deepest abyss, it wasn't Elysia who came to find her, but Lilith. She still had that nonchalant attitude, but Lilith didn't care. After Maple negotiated with Aponia and the other high-ranking members of the Fire Moth, she was released.

Compared to Beelzebub and Esmodius, two dangerous bastards, she, a complete good-for-nothing, posed no threat to the higher-ups of the Fire Moth.

"Let me make this clear first, I have no interest in being some kind of savior Heroes," she told Feng. "I'm not interested."

"Of course, no problem. You can do whatever you want." Feng glanced down at her information and then said, "But you should be careful not to crash the Fire Moth's system again."

She slowly typed a question mark, somewhat confused about what the young man in front of her was thinking.

"Because... in this team, very few people truly want to save the world," Feng said expressionlessly. "Beelzebub is in it for fighting, Esmodius is looking for pleasure, Lilith doesn't care, Abaddon just wants to do his own thing and won't do anything more..."

She raised an eyebrow, wondering if she had misheard, and asked again, "And what about you?"

"My goal..." Feng lowered his eyes, "Has never been about the survival of the world or the future of humanity...it's only for one person, nothing more."

Only for one person... It sounds like it must be his sweetheart, is it Lilith?

After joining the Fallen Angel Squad, she did indeed slack off for a while. But when she discovered that Feng genuinely didn't care and would occasionally show interest in the games she played, she suddenly realized that she wasn't actually that far away from the Heroes everyone talked about...

After their relationship deepened, she asked Feng who the person he was only after. Feng honestly said it was Elysia and asked her to keep it a secret.

Elysia ... ugh, that girl who barely affects her, is Feng's sweetheart? Whose sweetheart is treated like a complete stranger?

Suddenly, I realized that if my rival were Elysia, it might not be impossible for me to do it... After all, even that crazy nun Esmodius spent more time with Maple than Elysia did...

If that person is Lilith, then there is indeed no hope and they can just wait to die. But that person is Elysia!

Actually, she did think about confessing her feelings later, and even wrote at least twenty articles for it, but in the end, nothing came of it. Although the distance between her and Maple was at least Elysia, compared to Lilith, her own conditions were really not up to par... How could this woman be so abnormal? She can get the hang of a game so quickly!

So after Lilith's accusation, she chose to burn the manuscripts she had written that she thought were no longer acceptable, pretending that nothing had happened, and continued to stay by Feng's side as a Fallen Angel who could be ignored as long as possible.

Although she ultimately died inside when the final, the Tragedy of Binding occurred, this time, she chose to do it willingly, and...

Her later life wasn't exactly empty either.

So... why am I seeing these things? Why do I feel a strange sense of familiarity with them?

"So this time, it can be said that Mostima has taken on the fate thread that originally belonged to Mobius?" Zhu Yufeng said, standing outside the operating room and looking at Aponia.

"If that's what you think, then it's true." Aponia said softly, looking at Mostima standing in the operating room. "Perhaps, Sakura's threads were also involved... The Fallen Angel Flame-Chasers the fate that Honei had been carrying, and as their leader, you..."

"Kevin or Elysia, which one do you think it is, Aponia?"
