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

Kiana: "Auntie, you really know how to shift the blame!"

Himeko: "That's just how Theresa is. I must have been cursed to have this boss."

Theresa: "You don't have to say that about me. I think I'm quite qualified."

Himeko: "When are you going to settle the wages you owe me?"

Theresa: "...We've been a bit tight on funds lately, but I'll definitely give it to you next time."

Otto: "Little Theresa, I remember I just gave you a batch of funds recently. You didn't go and buy comics again, did you?"

Walter Young: "..."

Mei: "It's wrong for the headmaster to withhold his subordinates' wages like this."

Bronya: "Bronya believes the headmaster has broken the law."

Wendy: "Shouldn't the focus right now be on the fact that Miss Jiuxiao seems to have a teleportation problem? Why are we talking about this?"

Ying: "So that makes sense, the topic has suddenly gone off-topic."

Zhongli: "From a general rational point of view, this kind of thing is very common."

Xingqiu: "It's quite common for the conversation to veer off to other topics."

Meanwhile, in the endless starry sky, there floats an endless 'continent', and on this continent, a pure white and sacred jade throne stands out dazzlingly.

The live broadcast started from behind the throne. From the back, a short-haired man with brown skin, wearing a magic robe made of black, red and white, sat on the throne, but his face was not shown in the video.

He rested his chin on his hand, closed his eyes in contemplation, as if deep in thought or waiting.

However, the tranquility of the throne was soon shattered by the arrival of three subordinates.

"Your Highness!"

What appeared before the man were three different kinds of gray snakes. Unlike the grunt-type gray snakes, these three gray snakes were special even among the many gray snakes, just by looking at their appearance.

"What's the matter."

The man spoke in an extremely deep voice, which resonated throughout the jade throne with supreme majesty.

“My Lord,” one of the gray serpents said, “someone has led the outer universe into the Imaginary Tree, and their direction of travel coincides with that of Chaldea. I suspect someone is plotting against us. Please allow us to eliminate Chaldea and that outer universe civilization together.”

"The burning of imaginary numbers is complete, and the final stage has begun. Their struggles are meaningless."

The man muttered to himself, explaining that he hadn't sent his subordinates to confront Chaldea, as he felt it was pointless. This wasn't arrogance; he simply believed there was no threat and chose to ignore it.

Chapter 333 Mei from Another Universe, and the Wronged Nine Heavens

The man knows everything about what the Chaldeans have done, and he knows even more about their past than they do. Even if Chaldeans try to stop them? So what? Countless lives and countless civilizations have perished because of him.

These struggles were meaningless to him, since the outcome was already predetermined, and he would eventually fulfill his ambition in this era.

"Yes, your lord!"

After receiving the man's answer, the three gray snakes chose to wait and see, disappearing into the void cave.

After all, just as the Lord said, the entire civilization on the Imaginary Tree had long been burned down under their plan, and even if there were any remnants left, they couldn't cause any trouble.

If even cosmic-level civilizations are like this, what is Chaldea, which hasn't even ventured beyond a single planet? They're just being overly sensitive.

After the gray serpent left, the throne returned to its boundless tranquility once more.

The man gazed alone at the distant starry sky, waiting for his chance.

……

Unlike every other one, Jiu Xiao felt that this spiritual particle transfer was somewhat 'turbulent'.

It wasn't a physical jolt—she didn't have a physical body during the transfer—but rather a feeling similar to an earthquake inside her brain, hard to describe, but clearly very bad.

Because during her usual spirit particle transfers, she had never been able to think during the transfer like she was now. The normal spirit particle transfer was completed before she even came to her senses.

Time seemed to stretch out, and she fell asleep. This time, the dream was so vivid, as if it were something she had actually experienced.

This is a story from another world. From a young age, she could see scenes of past disasters, and at the same time, she would constantly be affected and feel pain.

The Third Honkai Impact occurred in Changkong City, where she encountered another Kiana and Mei, and also fought against another Bronya. Later, she was captured by the three of them, along with Anzu and Seele.

With the help of Shigure Kira and Himeko, the three boarded the Destiny's warship and headed to St. Freya Academy.

Due to the nightmare that broke out in Europe, Theresa led Jiuxiao and others to resolve it. Here, Jiuxiao touched upon the dark history that Destiny had buried for a long time, and it was also the first time he had seen Apocalypse.

Later, in order to save Kiana and Mei, Jiuxiao broke free from Welt's restraints and merged with the core alone, becoming the puppet of the Second Herrscher.

She was later saved by Kiana and Mei, and the organization "Moth Chaser" was born in her own Stigmata Space.

Inside the Tower of the End, Jiuxiao engages in a final battle with Kiana and Mei.

Back in reality, Jiuxiao reunited with Kiana and Mei to continue fighting the Honkai. However, due to Otto's machinations, her last memory was of Kiana being captured and brought back to Schicksal once again to carry out his insane plan.

"It felt like I had a really long dream..."

"Jiuxiao, wake up! Why are you sleeping in so much today!"

When Jiuxiao opened his eyes, he saw "Mei" shaking her head with a worried look on her face.

"Stop shaking him, Lord Jiuxiao is very dizzy!"

"It's good that you're alright. I thought you had another problem, Jiuxiao."

Seeing that Mei was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief. Kiana had been captured, and she didn't want to lose another comrade.

"You are the other Mei in the Savior's memories. Don't worry, the Savior won't be in such a simple situation."

When Jiuxiao regained consciousness, she recognized the person in front of her as, to be precise, the first Mei she had ever met. Even if Mei was from Chaldea, she could only be considered the second Mei.

The previous dream was more accurately described as her past memories. For some unknown reason, she went to another world and became friends with Kiana, Mei, and Bronya from that other world.

After returning to the original world's timeline, everything that had been forgotten before was recalled.

Now she is the complete savior, the complete Penglai Temple Nine Heavens, the complete me!

Having undergone training in several singularities, she is now invincible. Watch as she storms into the heavens and forcibly takes Kiana back.

"World, submit! Watch Lord Jiuxiao's performance this time! He single-handedly defeats the Heavenly Mandate, hahaha..."

"Jiuxiao, you're having another episode!"

Seeing that Jiuxiao had woken up and started talking nonsense, Mei knew that Jiuxiao's chuunibyou had flared up again, so she directly knocked his head to end Jiuxiao's fantasy time.

"Ouch! Mei, I mean it this time! Watch me... Wait! Where is my Apocalyptic Power?"

Just as Jiuxiao was about to explain that what she said was true, she discovered that the power that the apocalypse had given her had completely disappeared from her body.

"..."

This made Jiu Xiao very embarrassed and aggrieved. She was telling the truth, but she couldn't provide any evidence.

"It seems you really are lazy and confused, Jiuxiao." Mei knew her chuunibyou companion very well. "Alright, Father is looking for us. Jiuxiao, you'd better get ready."

After saying that, Mei also chose to leave. She thought that Jiuxiao had just woken up and wanted to brag again. The world's submission and single-handedly defeating destiny were all nonsense.

"Meiwu..."

Watching Mei leave, Jiu Xiao wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything, since he couldn't contact Tian Qi.

If it weren't for the fact that she still had Chaldea's communicator on her, Jiuxiao would probably have really thought that everything in Chaldea was just a dream.

"Aaaaa! The power of the Apocalypse is gone! My other self, come out with me!"

Kiana: "Hahaha! Jiuxiao has really embarrassed himself this time. He's been accused of bragging again!"

Jiuxiao: "This savior is not exaggerating. This is just a parallel world where my power is temporarily gone. It will return sooner or later."

Mei: "But why did Jiuxiao's power suddenly disappear? Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost face in front of me in another universe."

Mei, who is an counterpart from a different parallel world, also knows this, not to mention that this counterpart comes from another universe.

Comparing herself to her counterpart in this universe, Mei also finds that her counterpart is more mature and closer to her Raiden Queen self. However, this is normal, as different experiences in each world will change a person's personality.

Bronya: "But Jiuxiao from the parallel world actually traveled from another universe. Could it be that Jiuxiao is also from another universe?"

Jiuxiao: "No, I was born and raised here."

It's obviously a lie, but nobody knows it. After all, in Rowling's rewritten reality, Jiuxiao's birth history is fully documented, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was truly born and raised there.

Theresa: "Alright, let's leave this question at that. I still trust my student."

Himeko: "Only at times like this do you, Theresa, act like a school principal."

Chapter 334 Magician Merlin

Natural disasters, man-made calamities, war, plagues...

Constantly appearing in the human information network, Honkai is packaged as various forms of disaster, deceiving people's perceptions.

This catastrophe, which threatens the survival of the human race, is known to very few people in the vast human population.

All of this is because of those organizations standing at the forefront of the Honkai, who use their power and strength to isolate Honkai information from human civilization in order to prevent the world from slipping out of their control.

Under the guise of protecting humanity, they monopolize the Honkai's intelligence and technology, thereby controlling and manipulating the entire world.

The real victims are always the ordinary people who die in the collapse... They don't even know what killed them in the instant the disaster strikes.

Destiny.

This high-sounding organization is not a hero who saves humanity... but rather the culprit who hinders humanity, and they will surely pay the price for their arrogance.

Humanity's destiny should be in its own hands, and the existence of the Collapse should be known to the world.

Only when all of humanity confronts the collapse and fights together will human civilization truly rise.

And now... that moment is almost here!

Meanwhile, the North American Anti-Entropy branch...

"Kiana sacrificed herself to stay in Schicksal, and all you brought back was a Herrscher who lost her Herrscher Core...?"

"Father! Kiana is in danger, we must..."

"No, I will not allow you to operate again! I am now the head of Anti-Entropy's North American branch! I must ensure Anti-Entropy's safety!"

Raiden Ryoma directly rejected Mei's request. The current Anti-Entropy could not withstand a second destruction, and he had to fulfill Welt's last wish after Welt's death.
