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

But at that moment, Kiana's words came to an abrupt halt, because she heard the howling sounds coming from the outside world.

"What...what is that sound...?"

"The war has begun again." Zero Kiana looked at Kiana and said, "Kiana, you are not the only one who longs to defeat the Honkai."

"But in this era, can we really see hope?"

"Of course, we definitely will—"

In that instant, countless fragments of the past flashed through Kiana's previously clear mind, including the deaths of her parents, Siegfried, Cecilia, her respected friend Shigure Kira, and the scene of her personally killing all her companions after becoming the Herrscher of the End.

"We...can do it...as long as we all work together...fighting together for this goal...we definitely can..."

Kiana wanted to speak, but those past scenes were deeply imprinted in her mind, making her originally firm beliefs become confused.

She lowered her head, her eyes no longer firm, but as if she had lost all faith.

"I once firmly believed that as long as we worked together, we could definitely defeat the Honkai."

"Is this all... just wishful thinking on my part?"

"Those who control everything are fighting to the death for their own selfish desires."

"The so-called fight against the Honkai is nothing but empty slogans."

"Those who truly fought against the Honkai were ultimately manipulated. No matter how much they resisted, they could not achieve the desired result."

"In the end, everyone will die in some inexplicable conflict..."

"That's true, everyone's dead... how can this world be saved..."

"If I keep failing, I'll turn back into that terrible thing, and everyone... will die by my hand again..."

"If that's the predetermined future... I... I don't want to see it at all..."

"Sorry……"

As Kiana spoke, the image of a girl named 'Alaya-vijnana' finally appeared.

I understand your choice.

"Everything is in accordance with your will, Kiana."

"Alaya consciousness activated, process 0%"

"Command confirmed. This era's civilization has been deemed unworthy of recording. Begin setting the order benchmark."

“Record cycle number: 2, cycle calculation judgment: discarded”.

"Civilization calculation data, initiating data collection. Preset gene writing settings complete; preset cycle restart settings complete."

"The order will be maintained from the very beginning."

Herrscher of Knowledge: "Hey! This Stigmata Terminal is way too monstrous! Just because of Kiana's will, it actually intends to negate the entire human civilization!"

Fu Hua: "After all, Kiana in this world is a born Herrscher of the End. As we can see from the previous civilization era, once Kiana becomes the Herrscher of the End, the human civilization of that era will inevitably be destroyed. In other words, the only way to ensure the continuation of human civilization is to find a way to prevent Kiana from becoming the Herrscher of the End."

Bronya: "But given Kiana's current state in this world, I'm afraid that's impossible..."

Kiana: "Could it be that all the efforts of humanity in this era... are going to be in vain again? This is absolutely strange!"

Otto: "Is it 'Alaya-vijnana' again? In this live stream, Alaya-vijnana froze civilization recovery. In the last live stream, Alaya-vijnana gathered human civilization to become gods, although it failed in the end. However, the name Alaya-vijnana is not something that can be used for everything."

Möbius (Memory): "I would prefer the technology of Alaya-vijnana rather than this. Although I was outmaneuvered, its power is undeniable."

Tinari: "Civilization frozen and recycled? That's impressive technology."

Zhongli: "Is the world constantly going through cycles of reincarnation...?"

Ying: "Zhongli, what kind of riddle are you playing now?"

Chapter 355: God-killing Armor

At this moment, under the powerful influence of the Alaya consciousness, the entire civilization began to freeze, and at the same time, Merlin and the others also arrived here.

"Identity data verification complete, MEI, confirmation complete—"

Welcome back.

"Mei's stigmata... are they really closely related to MEI...?"

"According to the intelligence I have, Otto is so obsessed with Kiana because the access key detected in the Stigmata Terminal is a fragment of the 'Saintess' gene."

"But since they are all products of MEI, it is impossible for them not to leave their own permission interfaces at all."

"Does this really guarantee we can find the data for that suit of armor here...?"

"This possibility is very high, but at least one thing is certain: Miss Mei's stigmata stores MEI's access information, which will be the key to our victory."

Merlin said that whether or not they can find that suit of armor now depends on Mei.

"Another Stigmata. What exactly is our relationship with those people from ancient times...?"

"If the Holy Mark didn't exist, what kind of lives would we be living now...?"

Because Mei has MEI's access, she easily found what they were looking for? The highest technology of the Zero Civilization—the God-Slaying Armor!

"Permissions confirmed, access granted."

"At first glance, it all seems like useless data, but since it was obtained through MEI's access privileges... please give me some time to interpret it."

Although Iserly felt that the data was useless, it was obtained with MEI's access privileges, so it shouldn't be useless data. Therefore, she began to keep cracking it to see if she could find a new way to understand it.

"Speed up, Doctor! The Honkai energy inside the floating island is rising rapidly, presumably due to the location of the Stigmata Terminal. Retrieve the data related to the Godslayer Armor before anything goes wrong."

"Honkai energy? Could it be... Kiana's side?"

"But isn't this an extremely difficult escape challenge? No, this little test won't stop the savior. There must be a way to get through."

Jiuxiao began to think of ways to save Kiana and the others. If it were in the past, she could have simply squeezed them. Unfortunately, since coming to this world, her power had been suppressed, and she could not defeat anyone. But even so, the savior would not give up.

"Kukuku, Lord Jiuxiao sensed a powerful force. The sword in your hand must be the one that cleaves through space and time, its sheath containing immense power capable of slaying any calamity beast! Since you possess such power, why not join Lord Jiuxiao in saving this world!"

"..."

"Speechless with shock~ That's understandable. Anyone who becomes Lord Jiuxiao's partner will initially doubt whether they have the potential to save the world. But that's alright. We will continue to grow on the path of battle, and then—"

"If you say that again, I'll execute you on the spot. We're not the same kind of people."

Fabera drew her sword and pointed it at Jiuxiao, telling her to shut up.

"Gah!? Lord Jiuxiao's words of wisdom are useless!"

Jiuxiao seemed quite surprised that someone could be immune to the savior's charm.

Just then, Seruti, who had gotten lost while searching for Otto, ended up here and started fighting with Fabera.

"This seems like an opportunity, let's seize it now! Mei! Iselin!"

"How could this be... Although it's only a preliminary interpretation... Could this be the blueprint for the Stigmata Terminal? Please give me a little more time. Perhaps the information we can obtain here will far exceed our expectations."

"But this is too strange. We didn't find any information about MEI in Mei's stigmata..."

"If the information about the Stigmata can be modified as MEI wishes, and she even used this method to hide her tracks, then why is it so easy now... What exactly are you trying to tell us..."

"It seems we both have our own battles to fight, and if we both run away, it might be very bad, right?"

Seeing Jiuxiao preparing to run away together, and seeing Iselin studying the crucial moment, it became clear that saving Kiana could only be done by herself.

"Let's leave Kiana to Lord Jiuxiao. Let's each win our own battles."

"The son of God, favored by darkness, embodies the inscription of destruction, devouring the souls of the enemies of evil!"

"Burning Soul Implosion - Darkness!"

Driven by his belief in saving Kiana, Jiuxiao successfully unleashed Welt's power this time as well.

"The power of salvation has made its debut! Although it cannot launch a large-scale attack yet, it has at least achieved some results. It seems that the special training with Sirin was not in vain."

"Although the situation hasn't improved much, we can still consider it a fighting force."

Seeing Jiuxiao spouting nonsensical slang, Cocolia knew that another troublesome girl had arrived, but she was also a valuable asset.

"What do you mean by this! Lord Jiuxiao went through all sorts of trouble to come here and deliver the good news! He was scolded quite a bit by that stiff-faced guy in military uniform!"

"So this is what the Knights of the Apocalypse's mission is? You really like gambling the future on these children..."

"Although I don't know what's wrong with you, the goal is that unseen realm filled with chaotic power."

"Kiana...is she there...then Lord Nine Heavens must go and bring her back."

"What an arrogant brat... But since you possess Lord Welt's Herrscher core, perhaps this amount of Honkai energy is simply ineffective."

"However, this barrier doesn't seem to be just simple Honkai energy; if you just walk over it, you'll be crushed."

"There's no time left... Since it's the future that Lord Walter believes in, then let me take a gamble..."

Seeing the confident Nine Heavens, Cocolia also chose to believe in the future that Walter had gambled on.

Despite the Honkai energy's corrosive effects, Cocolia piloted her mecha in an attempt to clear a path for the Nine Heavens. Meanwhile, Ninti received the Stigmata from Cocolia's daughter, Natasha, which helped Bronya, Annie, and Seele escape the illusions created by the Stigmata Terminal.

"Dark, burning soul power, protect me, you super-heavy demon god! This is the power of the savior!"

With the combined efforts of Cocolia, Bronya, Xing, Seele, Ningdi, and Jiuxiao, the group broke through the encirclement.

"Countdown to the closure of the anti-collapse magnetic field: 10....9.…"

"Hmph, sending children to hellish battlefields... That's right, I do the same thing in every era."

"8...7...6..."

"However, it seems I can't avoid dealing with children anymore. Hopefully, this unpleasant experience won't happen again."

"I beg you, seize the Stigmata Terminal... and let the war end in this era."

"3……2……1".

“Bronya, Seele, Apricot…Natasha,”

"0 - Anti-collapse magnetic field shut down, entering charging mode."

"You...have all grown up...I'm so proud of you."

Boom!
