Chapter 153 There is no perfect ending

The video continues with no sound or light.

The bridge was pitch black, and the captain even began to doubt whether the ferryman was really here?

At this time, the ferryman's voice sounded "Are you having fun, Captain?"

The lights on the bridge lit up one after another, and the ferryman appeared before the captain.

Ferryman: "Too slow. You're wasting more time than I expected."

The ferryman was sitting on the tattered bridge, and his calm voice revealed a hint of disappointment. The captain looked around and found no trace of the ether singularity.

The ferrymen "could have come directly to the bridge, but they split into three groups. They were just like well-trained ants, going around in circles... interesting."

"You even want to save your enemies. You are really a hopeless guy."

Captain: "I am different from people like you. I don't care about the identities of Delta and Miss Ninja. I am just helping every life equally."

"I respect my opponents. Even if we meet on a narrow road, I should defeat them fairly and not take advantage of their weakness."

Clap, clap. Dry applause rang out. The ferryman said, "What a great speech. What on earth are you doing here?"

"Seize the ether singularity? Unfortunately, I don't think you have the ability to control them yet."

"Save the people in those world bubbles? Ridiculous. What can you do with just a few of you?"

Captain: "Even if you can't do it, you have to try it first. Besides, you and I are not the same. How can you be sure that I can't do it?"

The ferryman's voice was very calm. "Because I have tried. I have tried all possibilities."

"See that box on your right? Yes, open it."

When Guan Xing saw the captain was about to open the box that contained something unknown, he immediately reminded him, "Captain, be careful."

Rosemary: "Let me do it."

The captain would not let Stargazer open the box. If there was any danger, he would be able to come up with a corresponding countermeasure. Besides, the captain believed that the ferryman would not do anything in such a place, so the captain opened the box and said, "It's okay. There's just an ordinary button inside."

Ferryman: "Now, the colorless and transparent poisonous gas has begun to be released, and there happens to be a button in your hand. If you press it, the door on the bridge will open, the poisonous gas will flow into the passage, and your friends will die. If you don't press it, the poisonous gas will fill the bridge, and we will all die soon."

"Now, make your choice. The button that determines your fate is in your hands."

[Paimon] "This is too abominable. They are willing to sacrifice their lives to make a choice. How can people choose?"

[Otto] "It's just like a classic trolley problem. There are two kinds of people tied to the two tracks. One is a relative, and the other is a beloved. No matter which one you choose, you will sacrifice the other. And once you make a choice, one thing is doomed, and that is contempt for life..."

[Bai Xier] "Even the right to his own life has been given to the captain. Doesn't the ferryman care about his own life?"

[Hei Xier] "Xier, do you think a madman would care about life?"

[Nashida] "It should be just to put pressure on the captain."

[Shikanoin Heizo] "Perhaps the so-called poison gas does not exist at all, because the ferryman has no reason to do this. His ultimate goal has not been achieved, and it is impossible for him to give up his life casually."

In the video, the captain did not press the button. Seeing this, the ferryman laughed softly, "Haha... In this case, what's the difference between you and me?"

The captain threw the button aside. "What a boring question. Poison gas never existed in the first place."

Ferryman: "Good, you finally started to think."

Captain: "I understand. The reason why you gave the Ether Singularity to Yuexia and used her to allow her to establish a connection with those Theresa's, even if it meant burning her life in the end..."

"All this is because, in your eyes, they are nothing more than useful tools."

Ferryman: "It seems that you have fully understood my plan. Very good."

"In addition, I would like to especially thank you for pulling those Theresa back from the [Narrow Rift of the World]. This way, when the ether singularity burns, those Theresa will serve as fuel and burn together."

The captain couldn't help but blurt out "You are kidding me!"

Ferryman "Is it hard to accept? I understand. When you experience it more, you will get used to it."

"If I succeed, Miss Yuexia and those Miss Theresa will be the final sacrifices, and the world bubbles corresponding to these ether singularities that I have linked will regain the order of the world. Even if they are still drifting in the quantum sea, they don't have to worry about the fate of decline that will eventually come."

"This is what you were hoping for, isn't it? In this way, you won't have to [provide a place for those who have lost their homes in the fragments of the world]."

"I was once like you, unwilling to let go and wanting to save everyone. I tried countless methods, but without exception, all were in vain."

"I finally understand that there is no perfect ending."

"It only takes the sacrifice of a few people to create a chance for more people to survive. Why not give it a try? This will put an end to all the doomed futures. It's something only I can do."

[Aponia (Elysian Land)] "It seems that the ferryman is also a poor child~"

[Lei Movie] "The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon... This is the theme of some light novels."

[Nashida] "A perfect ending? It is indeed difficult to achieve, almost impossible, unless there is an unimaginable variable. It is possible to achieve it."

[Funina] "Saving a few people to save everyone... Although this approach is difficult to accept, it is also the only solution."

[Zhongli] "Otherwise, so many lives wouldn't have been sacrificed during the Demon God War. It is because of their sacrifice that we have the current era of peace."

[Wendy] "Although each country has some problems to a greater or lesser extent, it is much better than the Demon God War."

[Kevin] "I can understand the Ferryman. It is precisely because humans have experienced failure that I will never allow the price of failure to happen again. I will fulfill my promise. No matter what price humans pay, humans will definitely defeat the Honkai Impact."

[Alicea (Paradise)] "Kevin, it must be very hard to bear such a heavy responsibility. How about coming to the Paradise of the Past World so that I can comfort you? How about that~"
