To wield the power of the Herrscher, the epitome of massive Honkai energy and the representative of Honkai, comes at the cost of an eroded mind and a destroyed body.

Himeko's body was in terrible shape and completely unable to support her to continue fighting.

But she resolutely donned the armor, gripped the crimson greatsword, and headed to the battlefield.

………………

………………

"Aunt Jizi..."

Upon seeing Himeko don the Crimson Knight: Eclipse without hesitation, Kiana looked at her with immense worry.

The moment she saw the Plague Gem, the anxiety she felt finally became a reality.

Himeko ultimately used the power of the Plague Gem, although the Godslayer Armor served as a vessel, preventing her from directly confronting the Herrscher's power...

But can her body, which is already coughing up blood with just the crimson combat suit, really withstand the power of the Herrscher of Flame?

Although Kiana possesses the power of a Herrscher within her body, she has yet to experience the terror of a Herrscher...

However, the scene of Sirin snapping her fingers and destroying the steel torrent was still vivid in the mind's eye on the light screen.

The oppressive, suffocating, and despairing aura emanated from the light screen, terrifying even Kiana.

Kiana was truly worried that Himeko, who Tesla said only had two or three years left, would die on this battlefield...

She died at the hands of... her student.

After all, Tesla is the leader of Anti-Entropy and a person at the forefront of technology, so her judgment of Himeko is unlikely to be wrong.

Is it really necessary to risk your life to save a fool who has a Herrscher hidden inside him?

Kiana stared at Himeko, who was gripping her greatsword and stepping onto the battlefield in the light screen, her fiery red rose-like figure deeply etched in her heart.

The greatsword in Himeko's hand is the same one Kiana gripped tightly when fighting the Herrscher of Domination in the Domination Theater.

And then there's the Plague Gem, the Plague Gem embedded in [Crimson Knight: Eclipse], which Kiana used when facing Sirin in the Domination Theater.

When Kiana was stripped of her Herrscher of the Void powers by Sirin and left with nothing, the Plague Gem suddenly appeared and gave Kiana its power, granting her the strength to defeat Sirin.

Everyone around Kiana also saw the greatsword in Himeko's hand. That sword, the Godfall Sword, had once been in Himeko's possession, and later became Kiana's weapon in the Domination Theater.

So……

The legacy of weapons, the legacy of the Plague Gem, and Himeko's battered body...

Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Theresa, and Fu Hua all focused their gazes on Himeko, as if they were witnessing Himeko's future demise.

Under the spotlight, Himeko forced a relaxed smile.

"Relax, didn't you all see it? Dr. Tesla risked his life to create the God-Slaying Spear capable of eliminating Honkai energy."

As Himeko spoke, she revealed her admiration for Tesla, seemingly marveling at the courage this small boy possessed.

"With that God-Slaying Spear, even if the Herrscher of Flame's power erodes my body, the God-Slaying Spear can eliminate all the side effects and save my life."

Himeko shrugged, indicating that everyone could relax completely.

"Even if my body is severely damaged afterward, I can just join Anti-Entropy."

"It's said that the leaders of Anti-Entropy are ancient monsters who have lived for decades, and they also have the technology to maintain their youth. If I get them to treat my body, I'm sure I can live a long time."

Although it's not appropriate to say these things in front of Theresa, the granddaughter of the Archbishop of Schicksal and the headmistress of St. Freya Academy, and Fu Hua, Otto's subordinate and Schicksal's S-rank Valkyrie.

but……

"Anyway, since our future selves have already joined forces with Anti-Entropy and launched an attack on the Destiny headquarters, it's only a matter of time before we're treated as traitors."

"Why not take advantage of the time before we get framed and actually join Anti-Entropy? That way we won't suffer any losses."

"..."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing Himeko's words, and none of them agreed with her.

Although Anti-Entropy has joined forces with them, their purpose is still unknown, and it's unclear whether they will accept Himeko, a retired woman whose body is on the verge of collapse.

For Anti-Entropy, accepting Himeko doesn't mean adding another combatant, but rather adding a critically ill patient who requires a lot of medical resources.

Even assuming, hypothetically, that Anti-Entropy would later accept Himeko...

Wearing the Crimson Knight: Eclipse and with her body on the verge of collapse, can Himeko really leave that battlefield alive?

Faced with Queen Sirin, who possesses two gems and casually destroys ten years of Anti-Entropy's accumulated wealth, can Himeko really survive?

He was killed by the very student he wanted to save...?

No one dared to think any further; they all stared at Himeko as if trying to etch her image into their minds.

It's as if if I don't take a second look at Himeko now, I'll never have the chance again.

Kiana was even more uneasy.

"..."

Kiana always had a bad feeling about it.

Will Himeko really use that god-slaying spear on herself?

Chapter 82 Doomsday Beast?

"Sariat Holy Blood" refers to Kiana's mother's family. The Sariat family has an extremely strong ability to manipulate Honkai energy, and the God-Slaying Spear is composed of this powerful substance.

This made Kiana quite trust the claim that the Godslayer Spear "can clear Herrscher-level Honkai energy".

however……

Although Himeko said that Tesla possessed a God-Slaying Spear capable of clearing Honkai energy at the Herrscher level, it is true that even Emperor-level Honkai Beasts were instantly killed...

With that God-Slaying Spear, Himeko could indeed survive the corrosive effects of the Plague Gem...

However, Kiana's worried gaze met Himeko's feigned relaxed smile.

In her fiery red eyes, Kiana looked at her own reflection.

Himeko, the teacher who resolutely stormed the Schicksal headquarters to save her students, wielding her greatsword and stepping onto the battlefield, unleashing the power of the Herrscher of Flame.

Will she really use that god-slaying spear on herself?

"Capable of clearing Herrscher-level Honkai energy," it seems to be a life-saving measure prepared for Himeko...

But on that battlefield, the true Herrscher was none other than Queen Sirin, the resurrected Kiana.

Can Himeko suppress Sirin using only the power of the Herrscher of Flame?

If the God-Slaying Spear were used on herself, how was Queen Sirinyu suppressed?

Kiana's unease intensified.

……

Fu Hua stared at the armor that Himeko was wearing, suddenly realizing something.

Yu Duchen sealed away the memories, and Taixu Sword God burned them away. Now, not many memories remain in Fu Hua's mind. She has forgotten a lot about the civilization era 50,000 years ago.

But upon seeing the Blank Key passed down from the previous civilization's era, and the Plague Gem embedded in it, Fu Hua's mind was still filled with unforgettable images—

A city reduced to ruins, a homeless and desperate girl, a mentor who dispelled despair and handed her a torch, a mentor who turned the city into a sea of ​​fire and became a disaster...

Scenes, too fragmented to recall clearly, flashed before Fu Hua's eyes, causing her to clench her fists.

Fu Hua couldn't remember the past, but the gritted teeth and resentment etched into her soul told her that it was the driving force that had kept her gritting her teeth and persevering since 50,000 years ago, fighting desperately against the Honkai.

………………

………………

The real Fu Hua doesn't remember anything about the Plague Gem, but the Fu Hua memory within the Golden Garden remembers it perfectly.

"Hemihu..."

She murmured the name of her mentor who had rescued her from the ruins of despair; it was because of Himiko's guidance that Hana had the opportunity to become a warrior against the Honkai; it was because of Himiko that she survived the Honkai catastrophe.

But in that inferno, her mentor, who had pulled her out of despair, became a symbol of natural disaster, plunging Hua into confusion...

It was only after witnessing her mentor's downfall that Hua was able to ignite an inextinguishable flame of resistance against the collapse, which led to the person she is today...

As Hua clenched her fists, Alicia beside her smiled sweetly.

"The legacy of the Plague Gem... is it humanity's unwavering will to fight against the Honkai?"

"Just like Hua, who has been actively fighting against the Honkai in reality, and has even influenced and changed the Herrschers."

Alicia's smile was filled with admiration for Hua, as if she were praising the real Hua, or offering a respectful greeting to the memory of Hua beside her.

Under Alicia's praise, Hua Wei slightly turned her face away. For this honest person, Alicia's smile was still too difficult to handle, even if Alicia was praising her...

Inside the reverse entropy, Tesla and Einstein knew of Himeko and that she had once encountered Walter Young during a mission…

However, since there was no teacher-student relationship like that between Kiana and Himeko, Tesla and Einstein's focus was on that [God-Slaying Spear].

"With the blood of Shaniat and the HSN-b46 serum, it is indeed possible to create weapons to fight against the Herrschers, but..."

Einstein and Tesla were both genius scientists who had studied Honkai for decades. They had long known about the possibility of such a weapon against the Herrschers, but they could not conduct experiments like Schicksal.

Lacking materials and experiments, they had no chance of manufacturing that weapon. It was a miracle that Tesla was able to find it at Schicksal's headquarters.

Without sufficient experimental conditions, Tesla's actions, which risked his life...

"Don't you hate people who risk their lives to pave the way?"

"I...I'm absolutely certain! I wouldn't do this unless it was 100% guaranteed to succeed!"

Facing Einstein's gaze, Tesla blushed slightly, gritting his teeth and stubbornly insisting on his point.

However, Einstein did not intend to tease her; he simply sighed, feeling helpless at his old friend's lack of frankness and his equally selfless spirit.

This is the cruelty and ruthlessness of Honkai.

Even Tesla, who claims to hate "paving the way with one's own life," had to gamble with his life in order to fight against the Honkai.

As scientists at the forefront of Honkai research, Tesla and Einstein knew that Honkai energy was a deadly poison to ordinary humans, and that death could occur in less than an instant from contact with it.
