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

"Are you willing? Are you willing to stay with me forever?"

"Ah."

And Xing agreed without hesitation.

"Of course I'd like to."

Perhaps this is the most surprising moment in Xi'er's life since meeting Xing.

So, during the paused time, the two left the team.

Goodbye, everyone.

Before leaving, Seele turned to look at her companions who were still, then turned around and left with Annie.

"Where are Xi'er and Xing?!"

The instant time began to flow again, Jiu Xiao noticed that the two were missing and nervously looked around.

"do not know……"

Mei shook her head, while Bronya, who had already been eroded by the Honkai and lost consciousness midway... still had not regained consciousness.

However, her wound had been further treated, and with the help of painkillers, Bronya's expression began to ease.

At this moment, Mei realized that it was Anzu who helped Bronya when she used her ability, and that all the surrounding enemies had been eliminated.

"There's a text message..."

Just then, she suddenly received a message from Seele.

"I received it too."

Jiuxiao also received the final message from Xier and Xing.

……

About 1.3 seconds after the light reaches Earth, people will notice that the moon twinkles.

That was a literal power, enough to kill gods and spirits—made of 10 billion tons of lunar rock… neutron star matter.

"Can you cry now, Seele?"

Xing gently embraced Xi'er, her voice softer than ever before.

“…That’s enough.” Seele sniffed. “I had already decided that I would no longer be cowardly and sad…”

"If I had to say, I'm worried that such large-scale quantum capabilities... are actually impossible to achieve."

Chapter 391 The Death of Xi'er Xing, God-Slaying Armor Goes Berserk

Seele left behind the probe from her spacesuit.

Although the spacesuit itself is no longer usable, the large-scale matter detector installed to assist her abilities is still functioning normally.

In order for their abilities to take effect inside the moon, Seele and Annie need to keep going deeper and deeper.

In order to conserve the life force needed to use the time-stopping ability, Xing made Xier transform herself into a quantum object.

As quantum ghosts, the two traversed to the limit of lunar depth they could reach.

In their minds, this behavior was no different from moths flying into a flame.

However, if Seele were to use her quantum ability to simultaneously bring all the lunar matter covered by the time-stop force field of the apricot into a tiny location—based on the known limit of the force field—the matter density at that instant would exceed that of all matter in the solar system.

However, this state can only be maintained for a moment, because the moon does not have a gravitational environment that allows such high-density matter to maintain a degenerate state.

It will expand rapidly, releasing a large amount of energy outward.

The protons, empowered by the explosive energy, will collide and fuse with other protons, ultimately causing the moon—the outer body of the ruler of will—to completely disintegrate.

When Seele and Xing complete the quantum transformation within the force field, they will not die immediately.

Because Seele's abilities only take effect through time when the time of matter within the force field begins to flow, Seele's death within the force field at this time cannot be observed from an outside perspective.

The instant that time begins to flow for other matter within the force field, which is also the instant that matter collapses to the singularity, the explosion will cause the apricot to vaporize, causing the force field to disintegrate on its own—allowing the Honkai Will to replace Seele and become the strongest observer again. Therefore, the quantized matter will continue to collapse.

“It’s alright, Seele,” Xing said softly. “It can definitely be done.”

"Because those who have earned my approval are invincible."

"I will stay by your side until the very end."

The clock and gears are breaking down, and Anzu has reached the limit of her abilities.

"But does all of this come at a price?"

"Overuse of abilities will tire people out, shorten their lifespan, and lead to death... that's all."

Until the very end of her life, she finally realized that what she really wanted to do was to accept her vulnerable self.

In order to let others know what they had done, Seele and Ann left a short message before leaving.

In the final moments of their lives, the two of them thought the same thing—

"Sister Mei, Jiuxiao."

"We have a million reasons not to."

"We don't want Bronya to suffer the grief of our departure."

“We ourselves are unwilling to make sacrifices, whether great or hasty.”

"But...we are not content with this kind of life."

Are we really so insignificant and powerless?

"Does all the suffering we endure truly have meaning if it is intertwined with precious memories?"

"A flawed world born from a flawed reason."

"Does it really deserve to be saved?"

"..."

"We think it's worth it."

"Because it is us, and the world that everyone has lived in."

"All the pain and trauma in this world are still being endured by living people."

"In order to reach the moment of repayment, in order to reach the future of victory."

"No matter the cost, we must bring back—a miracle called hope."

"This is—our final wish."

"Let the Honkai Will witness the power of a falling star!"

That magnificent radiance, which could be witnessed even by people on Earth, illuminated what seemed to be the entire universe in an instant!

Its magnificent brilliance caused even those watching the live stream to instinctively cover their eyes.

Bronya: "Seele... Apricot..."

Seele: "Bronya is alright, Seele is still here."

At the same time, Seele also longs for her counterpart in another world, who is braver than her, and Seele wants to be braver in the future.

Rosalia: "Seele, no!!"

Lilia: "Xing, you're such an idiot!"

Xing: "Tch, I'm not dead yet! What are you trying to prove? You're all going to your deaths!"

Seeing herself vanish into nothingness along with Seele during the live stream deeply moved Xing, but she wouldn't say it aloud.

Wendy: "This is a miracle of humankind."

Zhongli: "How many years has it been since we last witnessed such a miracle?"

Ying: "What a dazzling light."

Einstein: "It is a miracle that, through quantization and time-stopping, 10 billion tons of lunar rock... neutron star matter, which, if converted, is estimated to be about one cubic centimeter of neutron star matter."

Don't underestimate this cubic centimeter; this was exploded on the moon. If it were placed on Earth, nothing could withstand its pressure.

Of course, this mass of neutron star matter will not reach the Earth's core as one might imagine. The reason why neutron star matter can maintain such a high density is due to the strong gravity of the neutron star itself. However, once it reaches Earth, this force that binds neutrons will disappear. In addition, the temperature of neutron star matter is extremely high, so its volume will expand rapidly.

Finally, it expanded and exploded. If calculated, it would be enough to obliterate any continent. While the Earth wouldn't be destroyed, human civilization would be completely wiped out.

Amidst that overwhelming light, Mei seemed to feel a string in her heart... snap.

In her hazy state, she seemed to hear the words of Dr. MEI from millions of years ago—

Do you know?

"Since the Godslayer Armor is the 'ultimate' weapon in the fight against Honkai..."

"So, if the person who used it is still alive..."

"There must be some mistake somewhere."

Atop the endless lunar ruins, Mei, clad in the [Godslayer Armor], stood on the earth, gazing at the [Will Dominator], her voice as emotionless as a machine's.

"Seele and Anzu are dead!" Mei's voice seemed to come from the abyss.

[Warning: The Godslayer Armor has been contaminated by an unknown source.]

[Godslayer Armor goes berserk, forcibly activated.]

"Even the power of Seele and Anzu cannot destroy you?"

"—The Will Dominator?" Mei vaguely sensed that there was some other power within her body.

This force is not the determination to save others, nor the bond between partners... nor the desire to survive.

Mei finally understood that there was another, immensely powerful force that could support her—

So this is the correct way to use the Godslayer Armor—revenge.

To exact naked revenge on the Honkai, on the culprits who caused all of this.

Kiana.

"I've come to take you home."
