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

How could we possibly erase the research efforts on collapse by human communities such as nations, anti-entropy, and human alliances?

How could we possibly stop humanity from gaining a widespread understanding of the concept of Honkai?

"How could I possibly have been brought here?"

The words of the ruler of will penetrate people's hearts, yet they also kill people's hearts.

It seemed to have witnessed all of Otto's experiences and understood his narrow-mindedness even more clearly.

[They attempt to single-handedly confront me, our entire civilization, and the entire universe.]

They even dared to try and take my place.

In fact, we were almost at our wits' end.

[You destroyed your own life, destroyed what you cherished, and everything that valued you.]

[Using destiny, Valkyries, and artificial law enforcers; using power, wealth, and wisdom; using fratricide, factionalism, and feudal autocracy; using sophistry, arrogance, deception, hypocrisy, betrayal, and exploitation in repetition.]

With all your successes and all your failures,

This paved the way for our victory.

This marks the first step in our unification of another universe.

[I have returned the 'Herrscher of the End,' which was rightfully mine. Please allow me to do this for you.]

[And all your contributions to our civilization,]

[With heartfelt respect.]

Einstein: "All that Otto did... in the end, actually brought about the complete collapse of the Honkai..."

The Herald of Knowledge: "Now Otto from the other world has truly become a complete clown... That's why I said from the beginning, if we had taken care of Otto sooner, there wouldn't have been so much trouble!"

Tesla: "But if that's the case, then the idea of ​​'using Honkai to defeat Honkai' proposed by Dr. MEI in the original Zero Era was wrong from the beginning. So MEI, who first proposed this idea, can probably be called the greatest sinner in human history."

Kevin: "..."

Otto: "I never expected it to end up like this, in such a dramatic way."

In another world, Otto arrogantly wanted to become a god, but in the end, it was just his own delusion. How ironic!

Heizo Kanoin: "In the end, it was still an information gap, and Otto in that world was unwilling to listen to other people's opinions, so he eventually suffered a backlash."

Doctor: "I initially thought Otto was a cunning villain, but now it seems he's just an arrogant clown."

D'Artagnan: "I was really looking forward to a great show, but it's such a disappointment."

Because of this performance, people's opinion of Otto changed from that of a dangerous madman to that of an arrogant clown.

"This should be it."

While Jiuxiao and Bronya were watching what was happening between Otto and the Will Dominator, Mei and the others successfully installed the operating module, accompanied by a system notification sound—

[The Glorious Covenant has been successfully hacked and is now taking off—]

"Success!"

[23 minutes and 19 seconds remaining until the Will Dominator finishes absorbing Kiana]

Mei wondered if she had misheard, but Seele and Ann had the same expression as her. Mei was still half shocked and half confused.

"The one who governs the will is... Kiana... Devourer?"

Deep down, Mei was also extremely shaken, but she managed to compose herself and continue moving forward to support Bronya and Jiuxiao.

After finally dealing with the Honkai creatures parasitizing the Glorious Covenant, Mei and the others finally saw Bronya and Jiuxiao, but the situation was far from optimistic.

"Sister Bronya!"

"Such a serious wound... What just happened? Why is Bronya like this..."

"Everyone, please listen to me... the doctor's medical pod is... in pain!"

Bronya in front of me was injured. Although the wound on her foot was small, her entire leg had turned black... clearly, she had been eroded by the Collapse Ring.

"Although we defeated Kallen and obtained information about the Honkai Will and the Otto Project, we also confirmed the details."

"But then the spaceship was invaded by Honkai creatures, and Bronya was injured while protecting the Doctor. In order to transfer the Doctor, we were forced to leave the central hub and came here."

"Otto and Kallen... they probably died in the central hub."

Jiuxiao explained what had happened, and when Seele was looking for medical supplies, Xing stopped time and bandaged Bronya's wounds, giving her some basic treatment.

Just then, the system sent another notification—

[22 minutes and 12 seconds remaining until the Will Dominator finishes absorbing Kiana]

Chapter 390 Neutron Star Matter

"The Doctor's medical bay needs a resupply... Take her to the nearest medical facility, and then... stop the enemy from destroying the Glorious Covenant... Fly as far away from the moon as possible..."

Seeing Bronya in this state, Mei's unease grew stronger.

"What will happen after the countdown ends? Nine Heavens, Bronya, what exactly do you know?"

"To put it simply..." Jiu Xiao explained the situation to the others in as few words as possible—

"Otto's plan is just this?!"

Mei was stunned. Didn't Otto have prepared any backup plans?

“That’s it.” Jiuxiao nodded. “As long as he can defeat the Will of Honkai and become a ‘god,’ he doesn’t care if all of humanity dies.”

"It would be a miracle if they could win..." Xing clicked her tongue.

[20 minutes and 45 seconds remain until the Will Dominator completes its absorption of Kiana.]

"So after the countdown ended..." Mei opened her mouth, but finally, as if she had to use a lot of effort, she asked the question that had been bothering her, "Kiana... became a part of the Honkai Will?"

"And then... the Earth will be destroyed?"

“I’m afraid so…” Jiuxiao’s voice was also very low, “The moon beneath our feet is being eroded and assimilated by something unknown that is identified as a ‘Holy Mark Terminal,’ just like the spaceship we used to come to the moon.”

"It is turning the moon into part of itself, becoming a celestial-level Honkai entity."

If she still had her former power, she could stop the Will Link, but unfortunately, she can no longer contact Apocalypse, and the Chaldea members haven't arrived yet, so she can only rely on herself.

"Let's go take down that 'Holy Mark Terminal'! Without its core, this thing is dead no matter how big it is, right?! Where is it?!"

"Here, at the lunar core, 1,700 kilometers below us."

"The highest mountain on Earth is only eight or nine thousand meters high..."

"Huh?" Xing was also stunned, after all, she knew they couldn't go that deep. "Then... what else can we do?"

"I don't know... Perhaps the only thing we can do is like Bronya said, to fly as far away from the moon as possible..."

Jiu Xiao couldn't believe she had said something that was tantamount to 'running away,' but she was no longer the impulsive Jiu Xiao she once was; she was now a mature savior.

In the current situation, they have no way to deal with the core of the moon, and Jiuxiao, who has lost her power, can only protect her companions first and then make a long-term plan.

It's not because she's become afraid of death or sacrifice; it's just that nowadays, they don't even have the chance to fight for their lives. Right now, they can't do anything.

Just then, several Honkai creatures suddenly appeared and exploded, splashing large amounts of black liquid everywhere.

Bronya used the nanometal components that powered her spacesuit as shields, but she couldn't block them all.

Xing also forgot to use her ability, and the three of them's spacesuits were corroded, with the area of ​​corrosion rapidly expanding.

"Quick, run!"

"Jiuxiao, go help Bronya!"

“Will...the ruler…”

Not only that, the glass dome of the medical pod was also corroded, and a thick, black liquid was about to drip onto Iserline.

Seele decisively transformed the entire glass dome into a probability cloud, even though her arm had come into contact with the corrosion.

However, this would prevent Iserline's medical pod from operating in a vacuum.

"Damn it..."

Furthermore, Mei and Jiuxiao's Herrscher cores were constantly being interfered with by the [Will Dominator], putting everyone in a precarious situation!

"Everyone, I've found the way to the infirmary! Let's fight our way out!"

[18 minutes and 02 seconds remaining until the Will Dominator finishes absorbing Kiana]

[12 minutes and 24 seconds remaining until the Will Dominator finishes absorbing Kiana]

"Gaa...Gaa..."

[WARNING: The isolation field on the Glorious Covenant has failed, causing an oxygen leak...]

"Oh no... I have no stance, the hallucination is coming—"

A relentless stream of enemies continued to attack them.

[Warning: Herrscher Core unstable, Godslayer Armor activation failed.]

Bronya leaned on Seele's shoulder, using one finger to manipulate the UI and activate the spacesuit's weapons to eliminate the enemies behind Seele.

The black flames from the heavens completely obliterated the existence of the will-derived entities behind them. But even more will-derived entities rushed towards them.

As time went by, the group was gradually driven into a desperate situation, as if they could no longer see any hope.

"What are you doing? Anzu, where's your power? Move now!!"

Seele's voice was louder than ever before, and at her call, Xing once again activated her time-stopping ability.

The moment the sun left the earth's shadow, time stood still for Xing.

But this is just a useless delaying tactic. They can't do anything right now except wait for the end of the world to come.

However, just when the two had given up and were in despair, Seele suddenly thought of a possibility—a possibility that might change the current crisis.

What do you want to do?

"This requires the combined efforts of both of us—that's what we have to do."

"Are you serious!?"

"Seriously."
