Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

This is why it wants to destroy the Honkai; it wants freedom, and the price of freedom is defeating the Honkai.

Unfortunately, it chose Otto as its monster at the beginning. It originally planned to take over Otto's body and start fighting the Honkai, but it couldn't even defeat the child Otto, so it was imprisoned in Otto's body for more than 500 years.

Now that Otto has handed it over to Bronya, the Void Archives suspects Bronya won't let it go, and it's likely it'll never want freedom again.

Chapter 290 The Use of the Power of the Lawbringer of Truth—Dantian World

"Indeed, it would be an invaluable asset to those scientists who seek knowledge today."

Bronya put the book back on the shelf, and a search box appeared in front of her. She could find the location of the corresponding book by entering keywords.

Bronya could suppress Void Archives, the old fox who had spent five hundred years with Otto, but she was still extremely wary of it, which fully demonstrated how much Bronya valued Void Archives.

However, Bronya's most important task now is to finish learning this knowledge so that she can ask Dr. May what she meant by what she said before.

……

"It seems you have memorized the knowledge contained in the Void Treasury."

Dr. May was not surprised to see Bronya emerge from the Void Treasury, since the abilities of the Herrscher of Truth are related to civilization, making them easy to learn.

“I’ve finished memorizing it, but it will take some time to fully grasp its meaning. Dr. May, can you tell Bronya what you meant by what you said earlier?”

"...The powers of the Herrscher of Bronya all originate from the Cocoon of the End. Even the Herrscher of the End is merely a shadow projected onto reality by the Cocoon of the End. The powers of ordinary Herrschers are shadows separated from the Herrscher of the End. Therefore, the Herrscher of Truth, who is a shadow of a shadow, has a very limited level of power that is equivalent to that of a creator."

"Furthermore, the Herrscher core's infinite Honkai energy supply actually originates from the Imaginary Singularity, which is powered by the Cocoon of the End at the tip of the Imaginary Singularity. If anyone severs your connection with the Cocoon of the End, your Herrscher powers will become unusable. Of course, the kind of being that can sever the connection can also easily defeat you, which is not something you should be considering right now."

"So, Dr. Mei, you mean...?"

After all, if the Herrscher of Truth is truly just a shadow of the Cocoon of the End, as Dr. Mei claims, then the level she can ultimately reach will never surpass that of the Herrscher of the End. How could a shadow possibly surpass its source, unless…

Bronya realized something and looked at Dr. May in surprise.

"It seems you guessed it, Bronya: if a shadow wants to surpass its source, then the only way is to stop being a shadow. So my advice to you is not to become a Herrscher!"

"But Bronya currently relies on Herrscher powers in battle. Without Herrscher powers, Bronya's strength is probably..."

After all, Bronya used to have Heavy Bunny as her Stand user, but Heavy Bunny was damaged after the battle with Yuto. If she loses her Herrscher powers, Bronya might not even be able to be the Master of Chaldea.

“I’m not asking Bronya to abandon her Herrscher identity right now; this is just a suggestion. Of course, whether you accept it is up to you.”

"The power of the Herrscher of Truth can be described as narrative and story. However, because you are the shadow of the Herrscher of the End, you will eventually reach the limit of the Herrscher of Truth. My advice to you now is to increase the output of the Herrscher's power, and finally transcend the identity of the Herrscher, and wield the power of the gods with a mortal body."

"What does Bronya need to do?"

"It's quite simple. With the two you have now, plus the one in the middle of the Stigmata, you have three Herrscher Cores of the Herrscher of Reason. Working together with the same type of core will multiply your power over the Herrscher's authority. But what I want to tell you now is the key point." Dr. Mei also explained her thoughts. "In ancient China, the Dantian has been a term used in Taoism for cultivating inner alchemy, specifically the essence, qi, and spirit. It is located on the golden ratio line of the human body. My idea is to let you create your own story in the Dantian, or in simpler terms, to build your own world in the Dantian."

"Dr. Mei, are you sure the method you're describing isn't something you've been reading too many fantasy novels about China?"

When Bronya heard Dr. May's method, she immediately thought that Dr. May had gone mad with power. This method was just like the cultivation novels she had read in China.

“Bronya thinks so, but this is the result that you came here and I have obtained through continuous verification. This method is feasible. The power of the Herald of Truth can be said to be like the power of the Creator. If you want to maximize this power, you need to increase your openness to the power.”

"But the power of the Herald of Truth is merely a shadow of the Herald of the End. Doing so can free one from the constraints of the Herald's core. Once the Herald of Reason uses it, it will be recorded in the DNA and become one's own instinct."

"And the world can also create a world bubble like your Welt Yang, but this world bubble is inside your own body. You can record the story of civilization little by little into it, and continuously calculate with the Herrscher Cores of the three Herrschers of Reason to gradually transform this world bubble into the real world."

"After turning the bubble world into a real world, it means that you have completely mastered the power of the Herrscher of Truth, Bronya. At that time, even if you lose the Herrscher core, it will not affect your strength. After all, with a world as your backup and the power of creation, I don't know how strong you really are."

"But Bronya feels this method is unscientific."

Could this be the end of science, or perhaps theology? Bronya couldn't help but wonder.

Tesla: "This, this is a method? Creating a world in your dantian, and it keeps expanding, it feels so magical?"

Einstein: "Indeed, it doesn't feel scientific at all. Yang, did you ever build a bubble world?"

Walter Yang: "I haven't built a World Bubble yet, but with my abilities, I should be able to..."

After all, Walter Yang hadn't gone to the Sea of ​​Quanta to stop Kevin yet, so he hadn't created the World Bubble.

Kevin: "...The world bubble?"

With this in mind, Kevin casually created a few world bubbles. With his strength, creating world bubbles was not difficult. The difficulty lay in creating world bubbles of the same scale as the real world. World bubbles of that level, whether in size or sturdiness, were no less than those of the real world. Perhaps only a leaf that had just fallen into the quantum sea could achieve that.

Durandal: "Dr. May's method seems feasible."

After all, he carries a World Bubble on his back, serving as the anchor point for that World Bubble in its native world. When needed, he can also use the power of the World Bubble to transform into Star Armor.

Otto: "I never imagined that the power of the Herrscher of Reason could be used in this way."

Fu Hua: "This way of strengthening oneself with Herrscher powers is quite similar to the martial arts of the Divine Land. Bronya, would you like to practice martial arts with Kiana and me?"

Bronya: "Learning from the class monitor? That's not a bad idea, after all, it can also increase our strength."

Chapter 291 Kevin, who used himself as fuel for firewood

"Sometimes metaphysics and science can lead to the same conclusion, they are just two different concepts, and it depends on your choice, Bronya."

Dr. May gave the choice to Bronya. As for whether Bronya was willing to do it her way, Dr. May didn't know. After all, this method was very dangerous. If Bronya's body couldn't withstand the World Bubble, then it would be dangerous.

“…Bronya is willing. Bronya wants to become stronger to help them.”

Bronya's eyes hardened as she looked at Dr. May. Bronya knew the dangers of doing this, but she still chose to try it because she wanted to protect everyone.

"Then let's begin, Herrscher of Truth. I hope you can withstand it!"

……

"Kevin, how much longer can you hold on?"

In space, Alaya consciousness looked at the savior Kevin before it and asked a question.

"..."

"Although you have mastered the power of the end, the price you paid is not as simple as it seems, is it?"

When did you discover it?

After Kevin completely collapsed, his eyes looked at the Alaya-vijnana in front of him, not understanding the meaning behind Alaya-vijnana's words.

"At first, I also thought that your shadow was just a manifestation of your dream after you obtained the power of the end, but the information about you from the civilization tells me that you definitely don't dream."

"so?"

“I’m thinking that although you obtained the power of the end through Prometheus, you are not a Herrscher and you are controlling the power of the end, so you are just like an ordinary person and unable to bear it.”

"In other words, that power is constantly destroying your physical body. As the most powerful warrior of the previous civilization and the final product of the Chimera, you possess incredibly strong regenerative abilities. Therefore, your body, or rather the lower-level Honkai Beast that you have fused with, is constantly being reborn."

"And the so-called shadows that appear from the constant destruction are nothing more than the corpse of you, the usurper, and... the last dream of those Honkai Beasts. Moreover, just as I sense it now... it is also being pursued by the true power of the Cocoon of the End. It is truly amazing that you can still maintain the most basic human mind at this moment."

"Your life is like burning yourself out like firewood. If I hadn't appeared, you would have become the target of those otherworldly beings. You would have become the enemy of the whole world, and no one would understand you. Even so, you will ultimately have to give everything for those humans. Is it really worth it?"

Padofelis (Memory): "Boss Kevin! You've had such a hard time! Even though Padofelis is weak, I'll still do what I can to make you some noodles that you like. That will cheer you up and make you feel less miserable!"

Alicia (Memory): "Kevin, you must be exhausted from the pressure of an entire era... Come to Paradise and rest for a while. Although we Memory beings can't really help you much as a living person, don't put all the pressure on yourself. I don't want to see you carrying everything alone, Kevin."

Kiana: "Poor Ancestor, he was burned as firewood!"

Rowling: "Kiana, you have no right to judge others either; you seem to be the same way."

Mei: "That's right, Kiana always wants to bear everything alone!"

Kiana: "Really? Haha..."

Theresa: "It seems that the Kaslana family's tendency to take on everything alone is something that was passed down from their ancestor Kevin."

Sue: "Kevin, you haven't changed at all."

Su, who had not yet been taken away by the higher-dimensional will, finally spoke up in the chat group with his eyes half-closed. After being pulled into the live stream, he tried to use the Thousand Worlds One Journey to search for these parallel worlds in the live stream, but to no avail.

Seeing Kevin burning himself out, and Kevin heading down a similar path, Sue also regretted not being able to persuade Kevin in time. After she left, leaving Kevin to bear all this pain alone, did she really have the right to stop him from saying that Kevin was obsessed?

Of course, Sue did not regret what he had done. After all, what's done is done. His only regret was that he hadn't noticed Kevin's inner turmoil in time, leaving him to bear the pain of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone alone.

Kevin: "Su...this isn't your fault."

Su: "It's too late to say anything now. Some things are gone and can't be undone. This live stream is very mysterious. We might find a way to solve the Honkai Impact from this content. Let's keep watching."

"The price paid by humanity is insignificant." Kevin remained unmoved by Alaya-vijnana's words. "Some people fly only to fall, but I will fly into the sky and meet my victory by falling. To prevent the sun from setting, I will fly into the sky and steal your light. I will also melt and fall into the sea. And to take it back, you must fly higher than me, and I believe those children can do it!"

"Is that so? Then it seems that only after I've dealt with you can I deal with them." Seeing Kevin's condition, Alaya-vijnana decided to finish him off quickly. "The power of the end and the chimera within you are currently in a state of balance. As long as I can aggravate your injuries to the point of disrupting this balance, you will naturally be killed by the power of the end!"

"Then why don't you try to disrupt this balance?"

Alaya consciousness, a flash of golden light disappeared from its original spot, while Kevin left behind a long silver trail.

The two clashed at close range. Alaya consciousness was infinitely faster than Kevin, and its attack was a direct hand chop of ideal fluid, shattering Kevin's body.

puff!

A sound came from the center point, and the blood mist mixed with air pressure scattered and the pungent scarlet color immediately enveloped the area.

The blade strike, formed from condensed cyan fluid, completely obliterated Kevin's upper body, extending from his right arm to his waist, down to a quarter of his torso.

"useless!"

Kevin's expression remained unchanged. His body, which had been reduced to nothingness, returned to its original state the next moment. His other arm attacked Alaya consciousness directly, but it was also blocked by the barrier.

Sizzle—!

A golden light remained in the original spot of Alaya consciousness, instantly flashing to a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers.

At this point, Kevin's body also started to break down, with his previously undamaged flesh beginning to disintegrate, starting from his right shoulder.

"What time is this...?"

Kevin frowned, sensing an energy that could annihilate all living matter surging into his body, spreading from his shoulder throughout his body.

"This is an enhanced version of the God-Slaying Spear that I designed. It can nullify things related to Honkai to a certain extent. Normally, with your strength, this would only weaken your Honkai and slow down your recovery. But for you now, with your body constantly being destroyed by the power of the End, this is enough to kill you!"

Chapter 292 Heavenly Fire Burns Away All Gods

"..."

As Kevin unleashed his own collapsing power, a terrifying, strange light suddenly appeared on his body. Under that light, the collapse caused by the God-Slaying Spear began to slowly stop. Although the collapse was still ongoing, it was no longer very noticeable.

"It seems I was too complacent to think I could defeat you so easily. After all, as the first hero who survived from the previous civilization to the present, you are indeed not to be underestimated. In the current situation, it is really difficult to kill you. However, since one God-Slaying Spear cannot defeat you, then let's have a few more!"

One after another, enhanced versions of the God-Slaying Spears, capable of neutralizing the Honkai energy within a fully-fledged Herrscher, appeared out of thin air in space with the power of the Alaya Consciousness and were fired at Kevin.

Although Kevin swung his Super Annihilation Slash, unleashing a flaming blade powerful enough to incinerate the world and destroy many God-Slaying Spears, his body was still inevitably struck by a God-Slaying Spear that had slipped through his fingers.
