People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

In Star Iron, at the Start of the Heavenly Fire Unsheathed Author: Unyielding Eagle

Summary:

Ron, as the chief scientist of the Firemoth, found himself awake in the Black Tower Space Station after defeating the Herrscher of the End in the pre-Honkai era.

Then, to his surprise, he discovered that the Heavenly Judgment he had used in the previous civilization had also appeared beside him—

In short, this is the story of a genius scientist who wields the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, causing numerous disasters to befall the Star Iron World.

"I will defeat all enemies, even if it costs me the Black Tower's life!"

"Skyfire! Unsheath!"

Chapter One: Humans in a Pre-Civilization Clash with the Herald of the End!

"Boom!"

A beam of light suddenly burst forth above the clouds, and a giant cocoon slowly wove itself in the empty universe, acquiring its unique form.

Among them, the figure of a young girl slowly emerged, growing little by little from the form of an infant, gradually becoming enormous, and an indescribable madness and death began to bloom on it, as if it would engulf the entire planet!

At the same time, a strange distortion suddenly appeared on the moon, which people were familiar with, and it was twisted into a shape that resembled the approach of the apocalypse.

Countless powerful purple beams of light, like lasers, began to rise into the sky across the entire Earth. After swirling and drawing a huge vortex, they gradually converged into the giant cocoon, uncontrollably forming some kind of enormous concept.

The azure sky was instantly sliced ​​into a shape of despair by a purple beam of light, beyond the comprehension of any concept regarding the extreme despair and madness before us.

At this moment, everyone in the world is standing still, only able to think about everything in front of them with the same mindset!

"The end... has come!"

……

Humanity's last bastion, the headquarters of the Firemoth.

"All satellites around the moon have lost contact!"

"The last remaining fortress on the moon has been completely destroyed!"

"The progress of the Herrscher of the End's formation on the moon cannot be detected at present!"

"We need to send it to a satellite immediately to observe the formation of the Herrscher of the End!"

"No! Unless the fusion warriors go up there themselves, there's absolutely no way to send a satellite!"

"But the Fusion Warriors now..."

Amidst the chaotic communications, the Fire Moth, humanity's only remaining resistance organization against the Honkai, could no longer organize an effective plan to fight the Honkai and could only watch helplessly as despair descended.

Meanwhile, at one of the Firemoth's bases—

Dr. Mei, who leads all of humanity in the fight against the Honkai, has a cold expression.

The purple-haired woman, who had always been so diligent in doing everything, was now witnessing the young man in a white coat standing in the distance with indescribable confusion: "Why did you do this, Dr. Ron? Weren't we working together for so long to fight the Honkai and defeat the End? Now all that's needed is the final step: to send the prepared Fusion Warriors to the moon..."

"I did cooperate with you to fight against the Honkai and defeat the End, Dr. Mei," the black-haired youth named Ron said calmly.

"Then why..."

"But do you really think that Kevin and the others can defeat the End with their own strength?"

Ron interrupted Mei directly, his gaze coldly fixed on the current human leader with whom he had worked for at least twenty years.

As he stared at her with cold eyes, Dr. Mei felt an indescribable chill, a unique pressure emanating from someone more rational and with a far deeper understanding of thought than herself.

Just like when Dr. Mei looks at other people, those people will have the same feeling.

Now, it is she who is bearing this cold gaze, which makes Mei feel an indescribable sense of strangeness.

Even so, Mei did not back down in the slightest, her gaze calmly meeting that of the most talented, and in some ways the most insane, scientist in front of her.

“I admit that this plan does have major flaws, but Dr. Ron, you should also understand that we have no other choice now... The battle with the thirteen Herrschers has exhausted all of humanity's resources. Even though you saved many people and greatly reduced the number of casualties, Dr. Ron, this is still the limit.”

"Kevin and the others must go to the moon and risk everything to fight the Herrscher of the End. Besides, we have the completed Moon Throne, so maybe we can hold off the Herrscher of the End until she can't fight anymore, and then find an opportunity to defeat her..."

Dr. Mei tried her best to speak, attempting to persuade the man in front of her with everything she could.

But the more she spoke, the more she felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness. She knew that doing so would only lead to despair, yet she still had to deceive herself into trying. For someone as rational as Dr. Mei, this was undoubtedly an unbearable thing.

"Oh? But since you, Dr. Mei, believe there is hope in fighting the End, why prepare the Fire Seed Project and the Stigmata Project? If you think this will defeat the End, why did you have Velvet secretly build hibernation pods underground?"

Ron pointed to his temple. "You can't exactly tell me, Dr. Mei, that everything you've done is to fight the Honkai, to help humanity defeat the Herrscher of the End, can you?"

"If sending heroes to the moon was truly to defeat the end, then we shouldn't have kept all our trump cards hidden from the beginning."

"Conversely, if the goal is to escape, there's no need to go to the moon at all. Everyone should just sink into hibernation pods and head to the next civilization..."

"..."

Dr. Mei fell silent, clearly realizing that she couldn't persuade Ron because her actions had been contradictory from the start.

Ron, however, calmly looked at Dr. Mei and slowly spoke:

"The power of Yingjie is insufficient to defeat the Herrscher of the End. Are you deliberately sending them to their deaths... Is your purpose to delay the Herrscher of the End's birth, preparing for humanity to escape into hibernation pods? Heh, you are truly an extraordinary escapist, dear Dr. Mei. Until today, I doubt anyone could have discerned your unwavering nature as an escapist."

"I'm afraid you calculated from the very beginning that humanity would not be able to defeat the End. Sending the heroes to the moon was just to filter out those heroes who were destined not to create a future for humanity, such as Qian Jie, Kosmo, and Mebius... You wanted them to die on the moon so that you could pave the way for the Fire Seed Project and the Stigmata Project, so that humanity's future would not be dragged down by the past civilization."

"You firmly believe that only newly emerging civilizations have the ability to overcome the end, and that all our efforts are merely sacrifices for the future, right?"

Ron's tone was full of sarcasm, and his attitude of seeing through everything from the beginning made Dr. Mei feel extremely annoyed.

"Stop talking!" Dr. Mei was angry for the first time. "Ron, what do you know? I was the one who became the leader, not you. If you think you can do better than me, why don't you step up and lead everyone yourself? Why make me bear all the burden? You are clearly mine..."

“Teacher, right?” Ron shook his head. “But I was just your high school teacher, and a health and physical education teacher at that. I only taught you a little physics and philosophy in my spare time. Everything you have since is self-taught and has nothing to do with me.”

"Even so, you are still one of humanity's top scientists. The super-mutant factor extraction technology you created even surpasses that of Dr. Mebius, allowing people to possess power comparable to that of a fusion warrior without having to undergo such cruel experiments."

Dr. Mei, utterly exhausted, began, "But you gave up becoming the leader of humanity, you gave up the seat that should have been within your grasp, and instead made me the one to guide humanity's path... I've done the best I could think of, I couldn't have done any better! Are you suggesting that you have a better way to resolve this crisis?!"

“What if I said yes?” Ron waved his hand. “Perhaps I do have a plan that can resolve this crisis, or even a plan that can defeat the end?”

"How can it be!?"

Upon hearing Ron's words, Dr. Mei's first reaction was disbelief.

But then, when she thought that it was Ron who said these words, the man who had created countless impossible miracles, a little bit of hope instinctively arose in her heart.

Perhaps the other side does have a way, even if they are facing the invincible Herrscher of the End?

At the same time, Ron slowly took out a square box from the drawer behind him. The box also had six strange panels on its sides.

"This is?"

"This is a device called Pandora's Box. As for its origin, you can assume it comes from Mars and is a creation of some aliens."

Ron said calmly, "The condition for activating this device is sixty energy bottles, each requiring the input of sixty different monster energies, which are the super-mutant factor extraction energy tanks I created... Once we use the sixty energy bottles to open Pandora's Box, we can release a monster of similar level to the End, a black hole capable of devouring planets!"

"A black hole that devours planets?" Dr. Mei stared in disbelief. "Ron, are you trying to destroy Earth?!"

"Destruction? If, faced with the end, giving up is the only option, I might try... even if it means personally destroying this planet!"

Dr. Mei was completely shaken.

It was as if only now did she see the true nature of the man named Ron in front of her.

Whether it was Ron, who was a health teacher at Chiba Academy, Ron, who joined the Fire Moth and became a scientist, or Ron, who invented the super-mutant factor extraction technology, surpassed Möbius, and became a beacon of human civilization, all of them vanished in this moment... leaving only the figure in front of him who seemed to be human, but in reality hid some kind of enormous madness.

She even suspects that the super-mutant factor extraction energy tanks that the other party created in the past were made to open this terrifying Pandora's box.

"..."

Ron himself paid no attention to Dr. Mei's confusion, and a glowing screen slowly appeared in front of him.

[Current World: Pre-Collapse Civilization]

Main Quest: Defeat the Herrscher of the End

Current progress: 98%

Ha, does your 98% mean that I only need one more energy bottle to open this Pandora's box?

Ron thought to himself and slowly shook his head.

At the same time, everyone in the world instinctively looked up at the sky, where a huge beam of light burst forth from the moon!

"Boom!"

Her long, silver hair was like a waterfall sweeping across the world, and her enormous figure seemed capable of easily crushing a planet as she appeared before humanity!

The Herrscher of the End... has officially arrived!

Chapter Two: Defeat the One Who Ends!

Ron time-traveled.

As a native Earthling, when faced with the sudden experience of time travel, some people may feel confused, fearful, and at a loss, while others may feel joy, excitement, and a desire to do things that are impossible in the real world after time travel.

But Ron didn't react to either of those reactions.

When faced with the reality of time travel, his first reaction was curiosity, wanting to understand the underlying principles of his time travel.

This might be because before he transmigrated, he was an engineering student who was in charge of niche research in the lab during his university years. He even published in journals and was considered a well-known researcher in that niche field.

So even though he suddenly transmigrated, all he could think about was why he had transmigrated, what the relationship was between the worlds, and how they were connected.

Admittedly, time travel represents all sorts of incredible concepts, and can even be described as a miracle. But even if it is indeed a god who is manipulating all of this, Ron still wants to know what kind of structure a god has and whether he can study the essence of a god using human instruments.

If one can understand and master the power of the gods, one might be able to find a way home and completely transform the hometown that now only exists in one's memory.

Unfortunately, mastering the power of the gods is far too difficult.

Ron traveled through many worlds, facing various difficulties and crises in different worlds, but he did not gain any knowledge related to the gods.

He couldn't even figure out whether the world he traveled to was a different planet in the same universe or simply a parallel world in a different universe.

But Ron also accepted his ignorance.

Just like most humans don't know how big the Earth is or how far apart stars are... People don't know the truth about the world, yet they still live ordinary lives.
