I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

He was about to raise his arm and summon his spear.

But then he suddenly stopped.

Zhongli's gaze shifted into the distance.

There, a fiery red figure gracefully and nimbly descended from the warship that appeared in the sky, raising a greatsword wreathed in flames and cleaving the ten-meter-tall behemoth that was destroying the plane in front of him in two.

Noticing this, Hua and Carol both fell silent for a moment.

Then the woman who emerged from the flames, holding the greatsword upside down, came before the three of them.

She asked without hesitation:

"Who are you? Ordinary civilians, or...?"

"I didn't expect you to still be alive. It seems you're quite adaptable to Honkai energy. So, do you want to know the truth about the world now?"

"If you want to know, come with me."

She extended her arms to the three of them.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: An Incredible Miracle (Part 1)

"Mr. Zhongli."

In the dormitory of the fifth squad of the Fire Moth, Hua had long since changed out of her gorgeous dress and back into her simple dark blue coat.

In front of her was a bright red photo of Captain Himeko, and sitting in front of her was Zhongli, still dressed in light gold, slowly flipping through a book.

Her friend Carol was forced by her parents to quit the fight and go back to her hometown to get married some time ago.

However, her best comrade and mentor, Ms. Himeko, who guided her forward, unfortunately transformed into a Honkai Herrscher, destroying the entire country of Australia.

When she attended the victory celebration banquet for the Herrscher, she was in a daze and didn't know what she was doing.

She didn't know who to hate, nor what to do.

Driven by an overwhelming desire to fight, she returned to her dormitory like a walking corpse.

"The erosion of decay is a very difficult process to reverse."

Zhong Li closed the book, gazed at Hua's quiet demeanor, and said, word by word, "This is a problem that Dr. MEI, researcher SU, and I have been working on to solve."

"Although there has been some good progress recently, we are completely unable to save Miss Himeko from this situation."

"Regarding the issue of Herrscherification, Ms. MEI and I have only reached some superficial conclusions so far."

"The kind of disaster that causes Honkai should be caused by a will terminal similar to a quantum computer, which would consciously study and fight against human power."

"The Fifth Squad led by Ms. Himeko is a sharp blade in the fight against the Honkai. I think it's normal that it was chosen by the will of the Honkai to reduce the combat ability of humans."

“You…” Hua stared wide-eyed at Zhongli with an unfriendly expression.

Then, the next second, he deflated in despair.

"As expected, you're just a traveler from another world, with no feelings for this world whatsoever. Why should I be angry with you?"

"Perhaps the person I should really hate is myself. I didn't pay attention to Ms. Himeko's physical and mental state, forcing her to fight despite her physical limitations. Even after she became a Herrscher, I never truly entered her heart."

“No.” Zhongli held Hua’s forehead, stood up, and looked down at the warrior who had been fighting the Honkai for years: “You should hate the Honkai, not yourself.”

Hua stared into Zhongli's eyes, then slowly shook her head after a long while, her voice revealing an unprecedented weakness: "Mr. Zhongli, there must be no collapse in your world, right?"

"Perhaps there was, perhaps not, but at least when I left, there hadn't been any collapses." Zhongli released his hand and sat down again.

"It's so good to have a world without collapse. If only this world didn't collapse," Hua sighed softly.

"Our lives can be changed."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli responded in a gentle and calm voice.

"Hmm~! Those were indeed wonderful days. Hua, you need a good night's sleep now."

"Forget about this sad thing, and then move on to this."

"A world where despair and hope intertwine."

.....

Within the world.

Headquarters of Destiny

The broken girl reigned supreme over the sky with an expressionless face.

In her perception, there was no longer any living being in the entire headquarters of Destiny.

The Herrscher of the End sat atop the tallest building in Schicksal, her two fair, slender legs, clad in over-the-knee stockings, rhythmically swaying in the wind.

Her beautiful face was tilted back as she gazed at the sky, her slender hands supporting her body.

Swaying and rocking, moving slowly and leisurely.

A wonderful feeling, a sense of ease I'd never experienced before, suddenly blossomed within me from the very beginning.

She felt that the world had become slightly different in her eyes.

This feeling is almost indescribable.

To use a strong analogy, it's like after being hungover for over ten days, suddenly your mind clears up for some reason.

Strangely, she didn't actually know what a hangover felt like, nor did she know what it felt like to be clear-headed.

After relaxing there for a while, she decided to get up and restart the era of civilization in this world.

With a sense of anticipation, sorrow, and a tendency toward self-sacrifice, she began to slowly elevate herself.

Surprisingly, this time, her father, who usually urged her to destroy the world, did not speak up to remind or urge her, nor did he offer any opinion on her recent rest and slackness.

This is quite unusual.

However, even without her father's urging, she would still destroy the planet in the end.

As always, with just a gentle touch of her power, covering the earth's surface, the entire world will be destroyed by her might.

Just as she was preparing to spread her wings, which resembled ribbons of light, and fly beyond the planet.

A pale golden light suddenly enveloped her entire field of vision.

The radiance was faint and wondrous, containing something she couldn't understand at all.

Under her gaze, the radiance quickly spread until it enveloped the entire planet.

Buzz~~~~~!

A strange vibration suddenly rang in her ears, as if the planet itself was shaking, or as if some person or thing was whispering outside of time and space.

Wow!

A sudden burst of pale golden light obscured her vision, causing her to involuntarily close her eyes for a moment.

Then, a second later, her heart skipped a beat.

They noticed something unusual about their surroundings.

Without her noticing, the aura of life and wisdom began to emanate around her again.

Kiana Kaslana, the Herrscher of the End, suddenly opened her eyes and saw many familiar faces standing at the Schicksal headquarters.

Headmistress Theresa, teacher Himeko, classmate Bronya, beloved Raiden Mei; even the long-deceased purple-haired Sirin; even...

even......

She saw her former father, Siegfried Kaslana, and her mother, Cecilia, whom she had never met.

In this world, everyone connected to her suddenly and irrationally came back to life and appeared before her eyes.

".....this...."

Even though she was a Herrscher of the End who could only destroy life, she was stunned for a moment.

Kiana, is that you?

A sudden, unusually familiar voice snapped her out of her daze.

Her gaze followed the sound and then she saw the source of the sound.

It was her father, Siegfried Kaslana.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

Chapter Forty: Incredible Miracles (Part 2)

----Why??

Why would her father, who had long since died, suddenly appear before her eyes?

The Herrscher of the End was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.

The being before her was not her father, but the father of K-423 and Kiana Kaslana of this world.

Her gaze gradually hardened, coldly sweeping over all the suddenly appearing living people, a chilling smile curling at the corner of her lips: "Although I don't know how you were resurrected, or perhaps you are just an illusion created by the Key of God."

"But none of that will stop me from ending you all once again."

Beneath the smile, tears welled up again: "It's just another ending... another time... I'm personally taking you all down..."

Before she could finish speaking, a soft voice suddenly came from the side.

"Kiana, what's wrong?"

With her purple hair and seemingly harmless appearance, the former Second Herrscher, Sirin, suddenly spoke up: "Why did you suddenly become a Herrscher?"

"Um???"

The Herrscher of the End tilted her head, somewhat confused about Sirin's form of address.

"Yes, Kiana, did Mommy do something to upset you? Or did your Uncle Otto make you sad? Tell Mommy, and Mommy will go and give that guy Otto a good beating."

Cecilia walked up to her with a gentle expression and offered her her palm: "Tell Mommy, okay? Let Mommy bear all your sadness and pain, okay?"

"Even if you become a Herrscher, don't be controlled by the will of a Herrscher." His beloved Raiden Mei followed, wearing what looked like ferocious armor, her body radiating the power of the Third Herrscher.

The incredibly violent aura of thunder caused the air to smell of ozone.
