GN Reader

There will be some HI3 Spoilers here, mainly from Chapter 9.

There will be HI3 lore involved but if you're interested, you can read it regardless.

Never let you go, it's why I did them all.
For a chance at least, to live in your way.
Love of you is my most cherished thing. So stay alive, bravely.

(Nightglow - Honkai Impact 3 - Tanya Chua)

'I'll love you in every universe.'

.

.

.

.

.

You awaken from your deep sleep. Amidst the dark voids of space, stuck on a time loop of blindness. You gained hold of your last bit of consciousness, floating in the vast yet empty seas of the universe.

'Where am I..'

'No wait.. Which universe is this..?'

Bits of your faded memories started building up, leaving you in a blank state, recovering your humanity. If you even were a human at this point. You were alive and breathing, in space. A long script of your life.. No, 'lives' is a better word, replayed in your mind.

.

'The imaginary tree..'

'So that must've been my 572nd death.'

'Then.. this is my 573rd universe..'

'The Sea of Quanta..'

Everything was blank. Not even a spec of light, a void of nothingness. A state of nullity, a consciousness of oblivion. In those 572 universes you lived and died with every single memory kept in your boundless sentience, not in a single world were you able to protect.. her.

'Himeko.'

Countless eras she never failed to choose to sacrifice herself, for the greater good of humanity. You wanted to see even just a glimpse of her getting a happy ending. Enjoying her life with her subordinates, traversing through every challenge without a care in the world. If she was happy, you were happy. Even if she felt a sense of accomplishment from her sacrifices, it was different for you. That's all you wanted.

You desired to break her out of the chains of sacrifices, even if it was to pay with yours.

.

.

.

.

.

'Just one.. Just one good ending..'

'Dammit Otto. You're starting to influence me with your ideologies.'

You wished to carry Himeko's burden for once, even if it had to cost you your life. That's what you lived for anyway. For millenniums and on, for her. Your power of omniscience gained you every concept of the current universe you were in. Every civilization, every galaxy, you were like a god that knows everything, but also a god who never had enough power to protect the ones you loved.
