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

Su (Memory): "Every cause has its effect; this is the sin that humanity has committed itself."

Sirin: "You humans are truly a bunch of bastards! I will definitely wipe you all out!"

Yan Fei: "Death penalty! Death penalty! This kind of beast should be executed on the spot."

Ningguang: "Unforgivable!"

Ying: "Human traffickers deserve to die!"

D'Artagnan: "Judging by how skilled you are, you must have done this many times before."

Aponia (memory): "Pray, it's too late."

Thousand Tribulations (Memory): "I'm going to tear these pieces to shreds!"

Kosmo (Memory): "These guys have no reason to live."

All the heroes of the entire paradise were enraged by this scene. If they weren't trapped, they would have loved to go out right now and kill the traffickers.

"Wendy!"

But just then, the girl's anxious shouts pierced the darkness and rang in Wendy's ears, faint and indistinct.

"There seems to be a sound..."

"I think I've forgotten something again."

"Never mind...none of that matters."

"No, Wendy, you can't!"

"Wake up, Wendy! Don't go that way!"

"Wendy—!!"

My body feels like it's dissolving... Right now, I... know neither joy nor sorrow.

It is a matter of course that those in power dominate those in power, and it is not cruel at all.

……

In reality, as the last front against the Honkai on Earth, China is also doing its utmost to resist the massive influx of Honkai creatures. At this moment, anti-Honkai organizations around the world have unanimously chosen to fight together against this single enemy.

Death did not deter humanity, nor did despair break them. Even knowing that death was inevitable, humanity still rushed to the front lines without hesitation to fight against the Honkai creatures.

Despite paying a considerable price and sacrificing countless comrades, humanity has not retreated in the slightest, fighting against the Honkai creatures wave after wave.

Ultimately, through the desperate resistance of the entire Void Front and through Totori's valiant efforts, Totori successfully separated the Honkai Will from the Herrscher of Wind. However, unfortunately, Wendy, who had returned to human form, eventually succumbed to the Honkai's erosion and her body gradually grew cold.

"Farewell, little bird."

……

With the death of the Herrscher of Wind, the Honkai's offensive has been significantly weakened.

How is everyone?

Theresa asked Fimillis.

“Fabella and Aisha are fine, but Aisha, as an artificial Herrscher, has had her body severely corroded by the Herrscher core fragments, and her stability is nearing its limit. Until a method to remove them is found, Aisha has agreed to undergo long-term isolation.”

"Director Situ was seriously injured, but he seemed relaxed. He said the medical equipment here was very advanced, and as long as he could walk and talk normally, it didn't matter."

"Kira and Himeko have temporarily escaped their coma, but they require a long recovery period and will be unable to care for themselves for an extended period."

"Cirin has overexerted herself and is currently receiving treatment; she is out of danger for now."

"The traveler and Kuma have nowhere else to go, so they'll stay on the Taixu front and do what they can."

"The Taixu front is now completely paralyzed, casualties are still being tallied, and the results are too painful to look at. Aid from other countries is being transported in continuously, and civilians are participating in the reconstruction work."

"The combat experience gained from the Taixu Front is being shared with people around the world, and humanity is gradually turning the tide."

"As for the Valkyries and the Knights of Apocalypse... more than 9% of them died in battle."

However, those who survived shouldn't be sad, since the Honkai is not over yet.

At this moment, Fimiris also told Theresa something important.

“We recovered Wendy’s body and detected Stigmata on her body. Apart from that, she was just like an ordinary person. The Herrscher core within her body was gone.”

"But at the same time, the clothes that had appeared out of nowhere on Wendy's body were also recovered, as well as the intact core reversal device."

"!?"

"What on earth happened?!"

“I don’t know, but I have a guess—that area at the time was similar to a reality-distorting field.”

"That is to say, that part of spacetime was altered by some mechanism, resulting in... a very favorable outcome for us."

"How is this possible!"

Will future generations also understand it this way?

"Huh?" Theresa's eyes widened when she saw the white-haired, red-eyed girl with a fiery aura before her. "You are..."

Fimiris also introduced her as: "Fu Hua, the sealed immortal of Shenzhou."

"The Great Void is formless; it is the essence of Qi."

"Its gathering and scattering are merely the changing forms of a guest..."

“When I defeated the Will of Honkai and retired to the Divine Land, I believed that an invisible void was protecting the human world.” Fu Hua opened her eyes. “But compared to this elusive and intangible thing.”

"I prefer to believe in tangible things—such as you who have protected China."

"Warning! A reality distortion field has appeared at the edge of the Void Front. A new type of alliance is approaching the Void Front!"

"I will go to meet the enemy."

"Wait, wait, wait!!" Theresa hurriedly called out to Fu Hua, her expression still as if she hadn't quite grasped the situation. "Defeated the Honkai Will?! What happened?!"

"I'll tell you in a moment, either by Femilis or by myself."

Fu Hua didn't offer any further explanation.

"The immortal has adapted to the current situation very quickly, kudos!"

Please stop nagging in my ear.

"Well!"

Theresa frowned as she looked at Fu Hua, who was unarmed, and asked, "You don't have any equipment. What are you going to use to fight?"

"Use this, and this."

Fu Hua first raised her fist, then extended her thumb and pressed it forcefully against her heart.

"You have made many sacrifices."

"From now on, I can handle it all by myself."

……

Meanwhile, several dozen hours before the start of the operation to subdue the Herrscher of Wind, everyone awoke inside the Cardinal War God Space Station.

"Once everyone wakes up, we'll set off immediately to destroy that thing—the Will of Honkai!"

Having uttered such bold words, they immediately encountered the obstacle of Merlin's death.

Merlin used her privileges to temporarily assemble the six people into a special operations team. After her death, the legitimacy of the team's actions and the power to allocate resources to the team disappeared.

According to the regulations of the Human Union, they should immediately disband and return to Earth for resettlement. This was a suggestion made by Phimiris based on both situational considerations and personal feelings.

Chapter 385 The Mission to the Moon

However, their capabilities and combat records have been extensively disclosed by Merlin, and coupled with the growing sense of impending doom, the Human Union has been embroiled in a protracted debate over whether to accept this suggestion.

Unlike the other six, Iselin Leviathan was assigned to the Human Union's lunar expedition team and had the authority to go to the moon to conduct investigations.

"Don't get any funny ideas, just go and investigate the moon properly."

Iselin pulled up the simulated flight path, a curve that constantly changed the relative positions of the Earth, the space station, and the Moon.

The Earth-Moon route map drawn to scale is almost entirely black except for the route and various data. The Earth is a tiny circle, while the Moon is just a barely visible dot.

The expedition team can reach the moon in just one to two days.

“I have a whole team of researchers and armed forces with me, so I’m not alone.”

However, things always happen unexpectedly, and the unit that hadn't even set off before was replaced by Mei and her group.

At Mei and Bronya's urging, several hours later, a spaceship capable of traveling between Earth and the Moon headed towards the Cardinal War God Space Station. After some intensive preparations, the seven were about to board the spaceship.

To maintain global connectivity, the space station has been expanded into a small space community. Before Iserlyn and the others departed, many people came to see them off. They were staff members of the space station who did not know these girls before.

This lunar exploration mission was also made public, although the pressing survival crisis on Earth was what people were more concerned about. However, learning about their identities, experiences, and decisions attracted widespread social attention.

The spaceship started up, and the bright lights from the engines made everything around it pale in comparison.

The space station lacked global connectivity, so theoretically, their consciousness wouldn't experience any noticeable changes when the spaceship departed. However, they all felt a sense of melancholy, as if their connection to the world had been severed.

However, this feeling quickly disappeared. They composed themselves, and what followed was calm reflection, excitement, and high morale.

Under the watchful eyes of Femilis and more than a dozen pairs of eyes, the engine's light grew weaker and weaker, turning into a flickering dot before finally disappearing completely into the darkness of the universe.

During this trip to the moon, Mei and the others were also fooled by the [Will Ruler].

During their journey to the moon in a spaceship, everyone unknowingly fell into an illusion created by the Honkai Will. The spaceship was severely corroded by Honkai energy, and a large number of Honkai creatures ravaged the spaceship.

To save everyone, Ninti chose to repair the spaceship, but she was sucked out of the ship and into space.

Numerous meteorites crashed into Ningdi and the spaceship, tearing their spacesuits, shattering the spacecraft, and exposing their bodies to the vacuum. Red, yellow, and colorless liquids floated around them, turning into tiny spheres that eventually became space debris.

Dr. Iserly was also on the verge of death, suffering from heart damage, intracranial hemorrhage, a foreign object piercing her abdomen, and a 35% weight loss. She finally collapsed in front of the control platform, covered in wounds, with blood flowing everywhere.

Meanwhile, Seele, the only one who remained conscious during this time, realized that she could not wake the others from their hallucinations no matter what. She decisively knocked them unconscious and used seat belts to secure the three of them to their seats in different positions, preparing to deal with the impact of landing on the moon.

While dealing with the Honkai creatures that were still attacking them, Seele helped the unconscious Bronya, Xing, and Jiuxiao off the spaceship.

Biological tentacles grew from the inorganic spaceship, making the original shape of the spaceship increasingly difficult to decipher. The spaceship was also transformed into a Honkai creature by Honkai.

Mei's body became increasingly heavy due to the interference of the [Will Ruler], and the other Herrscher within her body constantly interfered with her, making her extremely irritable.

Left with no other choice, she went to the equipment room and equipped herself with the final secret weapon, the Godslayer Armor, to absorb the Honkai energy of the entire spaceship and awaken everyone who was trapped in the hallucination.
