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

"I believe in you, Kiana. I know you can overcome the broken will within you, just like I did."

“Yes, just like me.” Sirin nodded seriously, her little purple head bobbing up and down rapidly. “Mmm, the Second Herrscher inside me is an easy person to talk to, and we coexist very well.”

"Ok??"

Kiana Kaslana's forehead was practically covered in question marks.

"Hmm~! The power of the Herrscher is merely a gift bestowed by the will of the Honkai."

A rational and pure voice suddenly rang out beside her, and a large, pure black hole suddenly opened in the space in front of the Herrscher of the End, from which Walter Joyce, wearing a pure white shirt and a black coat, walked out.

He looked at the Herrscher of the End and spoke eloquently: "Overcome her desire for destruction, bind her existence with the human mind, and then grant her greater freedom."

"Just like the laws in the world, only constraints can bring greater freedom, and in order to be free, one must bear the constraints."

"Kiana, I know you can do it. You can overcome all of this, just like me, just like Raiden Mei, just like Sirin, just like all of us. Use your heart to control the power of the Herrscher."

"Huh?!"

Kiana Kaslana closed her eyes, convinced that she must have been attacked by Fu Hua's Feather of Dust and had unknowingly fallen into a dreamlike state of consciousness.

However, after going through all her memories and feelings, she did not notice anything unusual about her consciousness.

Everything in this world before her eyes was proclaiming to her that this was an undeniably real reality.

But such an absurd, perfect, and bizarre reality made her feel for a moment as if she were in a dream.

---Ha! The will to overcome the Honkai? Are you kidding me?

After awakening to her identity as the Herrscher of the End, Kiana Kaslana has always viewed everything she has done with a very clear mind.

Whether it was killing everyone she loved, or destroying the planet and restarting civilization, she regretted it and wanted to fight back.

But such a thought would vanish from her mind without a trace as soon as it crossed her mind.

Her body and her will are nothing more than extensions of the Honkai Will; her brain does not allow her to think in the opposite direction to the Honkai Will.

----You make it sound so easy.

----None of you can understand me!!!

"Ah ...

A strange, twisting sensation welled up inside me, and then a sharp pain suddenly appeared.

Kiana Kaslana clutched her head in anguish, curling up in a ball high in the sky.

The wings on her back transformed into layers of light cocoons that enveloped her, and endless Honkai energy, enough to destroy the earth's surface, continuously spread outwards from around her body.

Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Shaniat, who were closest to the camera, were the first to react.

Cecilia Shaniat shouted quickly back.

"Theresa, Divine Grace Barrier, hurry! We can't let this Honkai energy spread, otherwise the whole of Europe, or even the whole world, may not be spared."

Theresa, standing a little further away, didn't need to give any further instructions. She planted the huge cross that appeared behind her into the ground, and a golden barrier instantly enveloped the area of ​​the Schicksal headquarters, completely eliminating all the Honkai energy.

"Such powerful Honkai energy." Theresa activated her communicator and reported the situation to her grandfather Otto, who was far away: "Grandpa, why did Kiana become a Herrscher? It was you again."

"Impossible?" On the holographic screen, Otto was wearing a bathrobe, his long golden hair cascading down to the ground like waves. Five hundred years had not even left a trace on his face.

"According to my plan, K-423 shouldn't awaken at a time like this; I don't have enough cards in my hand to control her."

"Hmm?" Theresa narrowed her eyes.

“Just detected, the current Honkai energy of K-423 is 20000000 HW.” Otto shrugged.

"According to the notes of Dr. MEI and Dr. Zhongli from the previous era, this value is something that only a Herrscher of the End could possibly achieve."

"The [Terminals] held by Danzhu and Cangxuan also recorded this matter."

"So, the K-423 before us is definitely the Herrscher of the End. Why? The other Herrschers haven't appeared yet?" Theresa asked again in surprise, "Did you do this?"

“I don’t know either. Theresa, you know me. Although I may be ruthless, I never mean to treat human life as worthless. Even all of Schicksal’s human experiments were carried out with the consent of the subjects. Those were all warriors who were willing to sacrifice themselves for humanity’s fight against the Honkai.”

"Siegfried and Cecilia were aware of Kiana's plan to create clones. Although they disliked it, they did not oppose it in order to defeat the Honkai."

Otto spoke earnestly, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "Just like you and your grandmother, Karen Kaslana."

"Hmph! Although you're my grandfather and Karen is my grandmother, you two are not related." Theresa snorted arrogantly, then asked, "What should we do now?"

“Of course, it’s the same old method: love!” Otto Apocalypse said very seriously, “Awaken Kiana Kaslana’s will with love and let her defeat the Honkai.”

"Just like we've always done, whether it's a Herrscher of Corruption, a Third Herrscher, or a Second Herrscher, we can influence them with love, and of course, we can do the same for a Herrscher of the End!!"

"A brutal and destructive Honkai will can never be a match for a human heart that possesses love. I will always believe in human love!"

Theresa did not comment on Otto's words, but hung up the holographic image directly. Then she said to Cecilia and Siegfried, who were approaching the layers of light wings, "My divine grace barrier can only last for another 90 seconds. Within these 90 seconds, you must call upon Kiana's own will to suppress the Herrscher of the End."

"If we fail, the consequences could be unimaginable. After all, Kiana's Honkai energy is a staggering 20000000 HW, enough to destroy the entire Earth."

“Of course I know.” Siegfried turned his head, showing his teeth, and gave Theresa a thumbs up.

........

Beyond the world.

Throughout the long river of history.

One year before the arrival of the final Herrscher in the pre-civilization era.

"We failed." Kevin Kaslana, the strongest fusion warrior, slumped to the ground in despair.

Having just slain the Twelfth Herrscher, he wasn't exhausted, but the intense sense of emptiness he felt was impossible to shake off.

"what happened?"

Hua and Zhongli, who had just ended the dream of Yu Duchen among the base personnel, stood together and looked at Kevin with some confusion.

"Hua, you're great. If it weren't for you, everyone in this base would probably be dead." Kevin didn't answer Fu Hua's question directly, but instead praised her actions.

"Well, thank you for the compliment, but I'd like to know why you said we failed? The Twelfth Herrscher escaped?" Hua asked curiously.

“No, the Twelfth Herrscher is dead, beyond dead.” Kevin shook his head slightly. “The gems she left behind have also been sealed in the Black Box.”

"Oh, then we probably have another God Key." Hua nodded slightly: "This kind of computer virus-like thing can have many uses."

“No, we can’t make the Divine Keys anymore,” Kyle said dejectedly.

"What exactly happened?" Hua asked again.

"Just before I destroyed the Twelfth Herrscher, she had already taken control of the codes to most of the world's nuclear missile bases, directing all of humanity's nuclear missiles toward our last remaining major cities."

"Besides the few thousand people in this base, we can no longer be sure whether there are any other humans surviving outside."

Kyle sighed, "We failed."

"Although I really don't want to admit it, although I'm very unwilling to admit it."

"But our act of eliminating the Twelve Heralds was merely a fig leaf to cover up our defeat."

"I never expected you would give up too." Hua sat down on the ground and remained silent for a long time before speaking.

“Yes, I will give up too. I didn’t join Candlemoth with any grand ambitions.” Kevin felt like confiding: “It’s just that I don’t want anyone to see my failures along the way.”

“Especially Dr. MEI, I don’t want her to see it.”

“We are not heroes, just ordinary people who have come this far,” Hua said softly. “Whether it’s you or me, we are just ordinary people who follow in the footsteps of those heroes, inherit their sacrifices, and keep going.”

"We will walk the roads they have never walked, and we will set foot in the places they have never set foot in."

“That’s right.” Zhongli’s voice suddenly interrupted: “My research with Dr. MEI has reached its final stage. If the Twelfth Herrscher hadn’t destroyed our last three cities, we humans could have won.”

"Although we can only leave behind a planet ravaged by war, we will ultimately prevail."

The news Zhongli told Hua and Kevin took a moment to realize.

"But the Twelfth Herrscher's abilities exceeded MEI's and my imagination, causing all our plans and intentions to vanish before they could even be implemented."

"The few thousand people remaining in our base are simply not enough to ensure the stability of the genetic security of an entire population, so the extinction of our generation is a foregone conclusion, but we still have the opportunity to provide hope for the next generation of humanity."

Zhongli's words were devoid of emotion, yet they stirred hope in Hua and Kevin's hearts.

“Mei and I made several preparations immediately after the nuclear missile launch. Regardless of whether we can defeat the Herrscher of the End, we can help the next generation of humanity.”

Zhongli continued, "Our experience in overcoming the Honkai will be passed down as a spirit to help every generation of humanity on this planet win the hope of survival."

"Can you really defeat the Herrscher of the End, Dr. Zhongli?" Kevin couldn't help but sigh.

“Of course.” Zhong Li nodded slightly. “Even if you trust me, you should also trust Dr. MEI. This is the result of our joint research.”

"Okay!"

Kevin suddenly stood up, patted his cheeks, and nodded to Zhongli and Hua: "I will not give up, not only for humanity, not only for myself, but also for Dr. Mei."

"That's good." Hua laughed. "Because I won't give up either, right, Dr. Zhongli?"

Her sky-blue eyes, identical to Qingli's, reflected Zhongli's face as she softly said, "If everything were to end."

"If the Honkai has been defeated, I really hope I'll have the chance to visit Dr. Zhongli's world."

"That vibrant world, free from the invasion of collapse."

Zhongli was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Teyvat is not such a wonderful world, but I would certainly welcome you."

"hua".

Chapter 41 An Incredible Miracle (Part 2)

"Dr. MEI."

Inside the final testing base, Zhongli stood beside Dr. MEI, watching the images on the large screen alongside the sisters Danzhu and Cangxuan.

The eight last and strongest fusion warriors are quietly awaiting the arrival of the Herrscher of the End on the moon.

Dr. MEI, struggling to maintain her body riddled with holes from the Honkai energy attack, turned to face Zhongli: "Dr. Zhongli, are all the preparations complete?"

“Of course,” Zhongli replied.

"At least so far, our plans have been flawless."

"Then all that's left is to wait for the soldiers on the front lines to achieve victory." Dr. Mei took off his glasses, pinched his brow with his fingers, and nodded slightly: "We have done the best we could. All that's left is to wait."

“Yes, Dr. MEI, you can take a short break now and have a cup of coffee.” Researcher SU walked in from outside, carrying a tray with three cups of coffee and two glasses of juice.

"This is the last coffee made from the coffee beans in the base. There are only three cups left. There is still some fruit from the underground farm. Danzhu and little sister Cangxuan can have a few more cups of juice."
