"When did the Herrschers become an aid in defeating the Honkai? The world is changing so fast." Cheng Lixue said helplessly, the world had changed so much that she was caught off guard when she woke up.
Although the game had already given a heads-up, it still felt incredible when I actually saw it.
The Herrschers, who were once enemies of all humanity, have now stood on the side of humanity.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to the boss's leadership. Who told him to keep saying he wanted to assemble a Herrscher team?"
Kiana tried to deflect blame, but Luo Mo did bring it up all the time, and the number of Lawbringers in the class was also increasing.
Judging from the person just summoned, it's probably another Herrscher. I wonder how Aunt Flo will react then.
...
The video then transitioned to the final scene, where the Earth was now a wasteland.
In this war called civilization, humanity was utterly defeated, leaving only a last spark and a handful of warriors.
And they will traverse ten thousand years.
"Hua, humanity will surely defeat the Honkai."
Standing in front of the freezer, Kevin solemnly said,
But it's hard to tell whether that expression was meant to comfort Fu Hua or to repeatedly persuade himself.
Fu Hua thought a lot. Whether she said something casually or repeated the phrase "Humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai," she knew that was what Kevin wanted to hear.
But in the end, she said nothing.
"Hmm." Then he turned and went into the freezer.
The scene shifts to the outside, where the surface of this pale blue planet is littered with ruins and debris.
This planet, once infinitely prosperous and pursuing the stars and the sea, is now devoid of any life.
The remaining people entered the cryogenic chamber according to Dr. May's plan, heading towards the predetermined time.
Because... people believe in Dr. Mei—the person who dedicated his life to fighting the Honkai.
"In my entire life, only 14 minutes of time are truly memorable..."
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, a bitter smile appeared on her face. Those 14 minutes had brought back many memories.
Rainy night, martial arts gym, school life, that energetic girl, captain, Australian bushfires...
Her life seemed to be constantly swept along by fate, and even her upcoming hibernation was preordained.
"Notification: 'Hypnosis of All Things' will activate in one hour and thirteen minutes." Prometheus's indifferent voice echoed through the cryogenic chamber.
Even though she still had more than an hour to move around, Fu Hua reached out and opened the cryo-chamber.
There's nothing left to do.
The atmosphere is so oppressive. Has humanity... completely surrendered?
The faces of my friends have blurred with time, becoming fleeting shadows in my memory. If this is the necessary path to becoming an immortal, it is far too sad.
The desolation of the previous civilization constantly reminds us of the horrors of the Honkai, but the Herrschers in the Valkyrie category leave me feeling utterly helpless. Is this really the same world?
"Ha, Dr. Mei is trustworthy? Well, maybe she is in the fight against the Honkai, but don't you think she has too much control? She just arbitrarily drives everyone's life."
The Law-Bearer spread her hands, attempting to express her incomprehension to the people.
"But at that time, humanity needed a leader like that; in fact, I think she should have gone even further..."
Mebius frowned as she looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge, her mind still analyzing her personality.
Obviously, analyzing the other person according to Hua's personality model would be a huge mistake, so it's important to carefully discern what they're saying.
She always felt that the other person... was caring too much about Hua? Could it be because he was born from that body?
Although she always seemed to be at odds with Fu Hua on the surface, she would subconsciously look towards Fu Hua whenever there was an important topic, like... a little child.
"I just can't stand that kind of system that assigns all tasks. It feels like we're all robots with absolutely no freedom."
"You seem to have a lot of opinions about Mei?" Kevin frowned and looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge in front of him.
"Hmm? It's hard to deny it. After all, the Fire Seed Project caused the old man to lose a lot, and secondly, the Divine Sound."
The Herrscher of Knowledge glanced at Aponia, who stood quietly to the side, out of the corner of his eye, and said with some apprehension.
But she also knew that even without the Fire Seed Project, Fu Hua would have other plans, and the Divine Sound was something Fu Hua added on her own initiative... But she was still angry, because the old relic from that world didn't know how to take care of his own body at all.
"If it's that... Xiao Shi, do you need me to apologize?"
Aponia wasn't angry. Instead, she looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge with gentle kindness, her words filled with compassion.
She raised her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her eyes brimming with wonder. What kind of surprise would the Herrscher of Consciousness bring her?
"Uh, how many times have I told you, don't call me Xiaoshi."
“Yes, um... Great Herrscher of Knowledge.”
"Alright, alright~, go tell this to the old fogies, I'm not the victim anyway."
The Herrscher of Knowledge waved his hand, feeling a little uneasy at Aponia's inexplicably maternal gaze, as if he had become the one being coaxed.
...
"A stranger to a civilized world?"
Karen sighed in the bishop's chamber at Schicksal headquarters, her eyes filled with worry, fearing that the world might become as desolate as it was in the game.
Thinking of Luo Mo, the game, and the wondrous effects of the Holy Mark, he secretly cheered himself up.
"In the final moments of civilization, all people could do was reminisce and encourage their companions. Perhaps the other person is right; humanity of that era had already perished—"
"Not there, not now, but when death has become a mere number, and when we are racing against the collapse with all our might."
Durandal pursed her lips, her hand clenching slightly as she felt the changes the Holy Mark had brought her to that point. Her gaze was resolute. "But I will not allow our civilization to reach that moment."
"As expected of Lady Durandal~"
Rita said softly, the beauty mark under her eye drawing attention, her brown eyes always holding a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Lady Durandal to protect me."
"Huh? Rita, shouldn't we be together..."
"Just kidding. Of course, Rita will stay by Lady Durandal's side, no matter what."
"Yes, humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai," Kallen whispered.
If they defeat the Honkai, shouldn't she retire? Then she could pass the position to Theresa... um... Theresa... ugh...
I hope she can manage her busy schedule; I learned to do it step by step myself.
"Never mind, it's still a bit far off," Karen thought to herself.
...
When he reappeared, it was as if he were the Crimson Iris Immortal.
She was chasing the demonic aura towards the town, with the Book of Azure Mystery beside her.
In this demon-slaying journey, the Book of Azure Profound seems to be the one holding everyone back, dragging Chi Yuan along to eat street-side pastries and preventing Fu Hua from using Feather Dust.
Finally, as the demon-slaying ended, on the way out, he asked Fu Hua a question...
The Book of Cangxuan also recalled the words of Cangxuan Danzhu from back then.
For them, the reason for creating the Book of Azure Mystery was simple: they didn't want Chi Yuan to continue carrying out that cruel mission.
But that mission wasn't easy to change, so it was created in the hope that it could observe the Red Kite with its own eyes and ultimately make the same decision as them.
"I always disturb your practice... I stop you from using Feather to Cross Dust... I try everything I can to help you get closer to people..."
The Book of Azure spoke softly, somewhat cautiously, but it had truly grown fond of the immortal before it.
"That's all I can do."
"Have I disappointed you?" the immortal asked, his heart stirred with emotion.
“No, Chi Yuan…you never let people down. You’ve done so much for others, and everyone sees it.”
"I'm disappointed in myself... for trying to override your mission with our expectations, sabotaging the Doctor's plans, and attempting to leave unimportant things in your heart..."
"I'm sorry..." Chi Yuan said, bowing her head slightly. She didn't actually know what she was apologizing for.
But she felt that this might make the other person feel better.
The Book of Cangxuan smiled slightly, a hint of sadness in its voice.
"Why are you apologizing? I'm very happy living with you. It's just a pity I can't be with you forever..."
"A thousand years is a long time, but not enough for me... My battery will eventually fail, and the memory will cool down. I will fall into a deep sleep..."
"But I will not leave you, Red Kite. I will wait and wait for the people who can save you to appear."
"...Even if you are willing to sacrifice yourself for the world, there will always be someone who values you more than the world does, and such a person will definitely appear."
"Red Iris, you will not be alone."
The final whisper was as light as a dream, carrying Xiao Xuan's blessing.
The immortal also kept it in mind.
...
"Compared to the world valuing you more, isn't this the great Herrscher of Knowledge, no matter how you look at it,?"
Luo Mo, always eager for a good show, nudged the Lawyer of Knowledge with his elbow and egged him on.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? How could it be me? If you're talking about old fogies, it must be Kiana and her group."
The Herald of Knowledge blushed slightly, then glared at Luo Mo and said...
Although those words resonated with her, she would never admit that old antiques were anything important.
At most, I only owe her a tiny bit of kindness.
"I still think it should be Li Xue. She died protecting Fu Hua on that snowy plain," Alicia said, offering a different opinion.
"That can only mean she's not strong enough. Besides, didn't I also give my core to that old relic?"
Now the Lawyer of Knowledge is bothered. Although she doesn't want to say it outright, she has to have a share!
"Hmm? So, do you value Fu Hua or not? Your words are incoherent; this won't do."
Alicia's eyes crinkled with a smile; she had long seen through the other person's hypocrisy and insincerity, much like Möbius.
