Its Thirteenth: The Final Battle, Both an Ending and a Beginning-Destruction Arc
A word before reading: This chapter has reached a record high in word count; please read at your own pace.
The entire sky was filled with countless Herrscher of Consciousness, each possessing the original power.
In response, General Xing, who controlled multiple accounts to help his teammates clear dungeons and incidentally save the world, said—
I'm used to it.
(You can imagine this scene: a white-haired, red-eyed boy sitting in a room full of computers, using both hands to operate his two main computers, while casually typing on the remaining one with his feet. Don't be sarcastic, I'm just stating the facts.)
Power Switching - Herrscher of Void
Without the slightest hesitation, Black Xing instantly soared into the sky and sped away. The entrance to the Imaginary Space opened, pulling him and the other Herrscher of Consciousness inside. Luming, left behind, gripped her staff tightly, planting it in the ground. A milky-white aura emanated from her, and she muttered incantations:
"Captain's supplies are fully guaranteed, and there are zero drops in Captain's dungeons... Oops, I mispronounced the word."
The Saintess planted her staff in the ground, switching it to singing mode. After testing her voice, she began to sing. Countless halos immediately rose around Black Xing, further enhancing his already powerful presence.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the singing and dancing Idol Lady also gave the Fire-Chasing Squad a little bit of a buff, and the teammates instantly got excited. It's so great to have a big boss!
"Flight, Blessing of the Spellcaster, Infinite Barrier, Divine Magic Barrier, Essence of Life, High-Level All-Ability Enhancement, Freedom, False Information - Life, Insight, Extraordinary Intuition, High-Level Resistance Enhancement, Cloak of Chaos, Unyielding, Enhanced Perception, High-Level Luck, Magic Enhancement, Dragon Power, High-Level Hardening, Celestial Aura, Absorption, Enhanced Piercing Resistance, High-Level Magic Shield, Essence of Magic, Ultimate Enhancement of Magic Triad - Critical Strike Mine, Magic Triad Transformation - High-Level Magic Seal, Ultimate Ascension of Magic Triad - Magic Arrow..."
As the Herrscher of Consciousness watched Black Xing, whose expression grew increasingly excited as she teleported them into space, a bad premonition rose in their hearts. Earth behind them silently donned a shield (activated by Luming) to prevent being accidentally harmed.
Earth's inner monologue: I'm not some super Earth from the Dragon Ball world, enhanced by angels and able to be ravaged by Saiyans without exploding! At least give me some boosts before you tear me apart! You guys get stronger, but I don't!
PS: This Earth really does have self-awareness, although it didn't give birth to Gaia or Agul.
IF Bug stared at the Holy Blade opposite him, who was radiating an imposing aura and whose head was constantly rising with light, and fell into deep thought.
Hey, did you secretly top up your account with money?!
White Bugster Tavern —
KK turned her head and silently glanced at the despicable outsider next to her, who was wearing sunglasses, eating popcorn, and looking like he was watching a AAA blockbuster. She grabbed You Hui's ahoge (cowlick) and pulled him towards her. "Tell me honestly, did you give him a cheat code?!"
The blonde girl scooped up a handful of popcorn and popped it into her mouth, then slammed the empty popcorn box over the head of the white-haired girl next to her. "Don't ask me, ask her."
Silly Loli: "..."
Note: The divine messenger You Hui and the author You Hui are different. Ahem, the Silly Loli in this book is not a real-life Silly Loli.
"Why are you asking me? I'm just a writer. This is the power he gained after overcoming the trials..." The Silly Loli, who had no rights, was very weak.
Prepare for battle!
Is Flame-Chasers strong or not?
The answer is, very strong.
If the complete Thirteen Flame-Chasers Finality, the outcome might be slightly different.
Sadly, Setsuna died in the internal strife, Herrscher who deeply loved humanity voluntarily returned to the Imaginary Number, leaving behind hope for the next era to resist the Honkai.
So, what is Flame-Chasers Black Xing thinking now, as he Fleeting Life an army of thousands of soldiers, each possessing the peak strength of a hero in the world?
"Just an insect."
A hideous maw appeared from the void, swallowing up the limbs and space around him. Black Xing wiped his mouth, still not satisfied. "It's just about taking a few more pictures to play with. Hey, Miss Flat, I've been starving for a long time. You'd better feed me well."
"Heh." A cold laugh came from the void, and thousands of legions launched an attack in unison. Black Xing curled his lip in response, and the divine halo behind him spun again, with five patterns of fire, lightning, death, void, and rock flashing, and a new pattern lit up.
Power Switching: Herrscher of Reason
As expected of the Herrscher of Consciousness, he actually dispersed his consciousness into every body, trying to overwhelm him with sheer numbers?
That's a good idea. As the quantity increases, the quality will also decrease. Even for Herrscher whose consciousness is dispersed to this extent, it's hard to guarantee that the combat consciousness of each body will be as good as before.
Black Xing thought this, but the pain of his shoulder being pierced was clearly transmitted to him.
Countless black giant swords attacked from all directions. Black Xing punched away the enemies around him, and his wounds healed quickly. He looked at the pile of Tai Xu Sword God and fell into deep thought.
What's going on? Although we haven't fully engaged yet, each of them exudes a very strange aura. Their fighting spirit has not only not diminished but has even slightly surpassed it. What exactly is going on?
"Heh, interesting."
Black Xing remained calm and smiled in the face of a desperate situation that even Kevin would panic.
The so-called Sword God is nothing more than the control and transformation of Honkai Energy. Once the Taixu Sword Qi is mastered to the Great Perfection, even the Sword God is nothing special. Well, that's what his Mom Hua, said.
Therefore, Black Xing chose to use the powers of the Herrscher of Reason to construct a small Eternal Key, and then ran away.
Just kidding, I may be a wild and playful guy, but I'm not stupid. This level of attack is far beyond my capacity to absorb!
It has to be Herrscher of Reason is simply the one with the lowest lower limit and the highest upper limit among all Herrscher. Do you understand the value of the reproduction?
His teacher, Welt Young, inherited Joyce's Herrscher Core and the will of 300,000 people within it, but he was unable to surpass his own limits and didn't even seem to have complete Herrscher Authority.
But for Black Xing, who at this moment borrowed the power of the Fire Erosion to steal this power, he did not need the will of 300,000 people, because he himself was the flame that illuminated the future.
Note: The subsequent Anti-Entropy Saint super bug, ah, I got my account banned, hehe.
"Hey, did someone cheat on her too?" Black Xing teleported behind a Herrscher of Consciousness, releasing Star of Eden like a black hole, instantly eliminating a group of enemies, but then a continuous stream of enemies rushed towards him.
Something was wrong just now. He clearly remembered that he had cleaved the planetary-level Chiyou in two, but when he opened his eyes the next second, he was back in the time when he woke up in the Aponia Hospital. The battle had also changed. What was going on?
PS: Black Xing can sense the [reader], and also answered the question about the battle reset in a system sense, which can be understood as the Will of Honkai falling into confusion between normal mode and abnormal mode.
Ugh, this is so annoying. There's another ball nearby. Even with the shield, I can't keep dodging. It would be awkward if it exploded...
With the Heavenly Fire of Jie Mie in his left hand, the Seven Thunders of Retribution in his right, the Jizo-Mitama in his third, the Star of Eden Spear Mode in his fourth, the Xuanyuan Sword in his fifth, the Black Abyss White Flower sixth, Judah behind him, Feather Crossing Dust above his head, the Weapon Version of Stagnation of All Things beneath his feet, and thousands of warships behind him ready to fire, Black Xing thought to himself.
(What are you looking at? What's wrong with Fusion Warrior having more arms?)
PS: Because Xiao Shi caused trouble on Earth, the buff [War of Salvation] was triggered, which is why the Herrscher of Scorching Flame's output power can meet this full-power mode.
A fully realized Herrscher of Reason does not need to know the specific structure of things. As long as it is something that human civilization can create, and as long as it is a realm that humans can reach, any object that one imagines can be constructed in an instant.
This is the correct way to play the Herrscher of Reason!
Teacher Joachim, today I will prove that our Herrscher of Reason is not an invincible god of war who can only do sit-ups, but a bug-level player who can't be played without being sealed!
"Ultimate Limitless Release - Myriad Manifestations Assault Termination... The name is super long, but in short, it's the universe's super invincible number one domineering impact burst slash!"
A massive shockwave spread through the universe, causing nearby planets to tremble and nearly deviate from their orbits. Earth, which was shielded, shook a few times, and the moon shuddered. Hey, give me a shield too!
What? You're asking about the Fourth Divine Key in space?
Oh, I forgot to mention before, during Christmas, Lobster Doctor, on a whim, built a rocket and launched his Rabbit Assistant into space for a trip. Unfortunately, it crashed into a satellite. Furious, Tesla ordered it to be dismantled and brought back, and then...
Otto stared into thought as he looked at the report from his subordinates that the Fourth Divine Key was out of contact.
PS: Only those with the Jizo-Mitama's black signal dare to do this, and not just anyone can steal the Fourth Divine Key from right under Schicksal's nose.
——Earth Battlefield——
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Golden eyes, golden highlights in her hair, and an even more imposing presence than Black Seele ...
This is Seele, completely dominated by her own sense of luck, indifferent to black and white; this is the purest form of "humanity."
(Ahem, let's call it Yuki from now on, information?)
"Who are you?" Faced with her suddenly dyed hair and wearing colored contact lenses, IF Seele warily raised her weapon. Before she could finish speaking, the other person's weapon was already at her.
"You don't need to know, we're all going to die anyway. Huh? Do you think I'd show you mercy? Don't be ridiculous. What do I care if you're happy or sad? My Seele is enough of a headache for me."
This cannot be called a battle; it was a one-sided crushing defeat.
Two illusory figures flickered across the battlefield, but IF Seele's wounds multiplied, while Xingxi, on the other hand, strolled leisurely, effortlessly repelling her.
"Well, that's a really inhuman way to say it. Anyway, may you meet her again in hell and be reborn into a better life next time, Amen."
After severing her head and confirming that her body had completely dissipated and her soul was gradually drifting towards that unknown world, Yuki put down the scythe and stuck it in the ground, letting out a silent sigh.
She wasn't cold-blooded, but rather somewhat numb.
After all, compared to the hell she had just experienced in the illusion, what was the "nightmare" that everyone else present was talking about?
"Hmm, although it's part of the plan, this feeling is really unsettling... But, what does it mean that Aponia calls me the 'Human Herrscher'? Could it be the only unknown Thirteenth Herrscher, or does it specifically refer to Herrscher with human consciousness?"
—Let me see how many people skip around while reading~—
White Bugster Tavern —
"Hey! Stop watching the show, Lingqina! Hurry up and collect the souls back. We don't have the power of the Divine Messenger, and this isn't a world collision. We need to put them back one by one when we correct the wrong world line later!"
"Waaah, when will this ever end..."
—This chapter is all sweet, no angst, hahaha!—
The two swords clashed, and two bolts of purple lightning fought side by side. Their unspoken understanding surprised even IF Mei, just like her and Kiana.
"Ninja!" Tratical Finish!"
The classic scene of the Four Elements Shuriken is recreated. Four clones, each wielding one of the four elements (earth, water, fire, and wind), swiftly attack from the east, west, south, and north. IF Mei unleashes a powerful electric current and sweeps it all away.
Yae Xing Herrscher Mei. It would be like showing off your skills to an expert if you were to fight the Herrscher Mei was close to her complete form. Did you really think that the stun gun could kill Thor?
In the consciousness space, Mei looked at the Herrscher Mei was squatting in the corner drawing circles and sighed with disappointment.
Besides, it's unrealistic to think that a mass-produced Knight System can defeat Herrscher in one fell swoop.
So Yae Xing clones to delay the time and attract attention, while he and Mei went to deal with Kurikara, who kept launching sneak attacks from the sky and occasionally pounced. I hate these kinds of monsters that interrupt my actions and chip away at my health bar when I'm playing dungeons!
The surging dragon breath was sliced straight through by the blades in their hands. The scorching air and leaking Honkai Energy the two of them, and the Desire Driver at their waists unfortunately sparked, causing the transformation to end.
Fortunately, he wasn't surprised. This was the aftershock of a powerful move comparable to Judgment Class; it would be good if he could hold out for a while.
The lightning samurai and the Fox Ear Ninja landed with a swift motion, and a huge explosion rose behind them. Before the explosion, the ninja decisively pulled her mistress away, saying, "Get away! What if your clothes get burned on your back? Even though most of the people here are girls, my tail is very afraid of fire!"
Kurikara's charred remains fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces. IF Mei lowered her head and remained silent. Facing the two people who were slowly walking towards her, she raised her weapon again.
Now that we've come this far, there's no turning back; we can only go all the way down this path.
The three of them slowly bent down and placed their hands on the hilts of the swords at their waists.
Hokushin Itto-ryu Technique —
Lightning Dual Sword Style Secret Technique -
Clang!
Two streams of light, similar yet slightly different in color, collided at high speed. But just as they were about to meet, one of the streams of light separated, revealing two intertwined streams of light. Yae Xing and Raiden Mei barely dodged IF Mei's blade and then launched their attacks simultaneously.
There's nothing despicable about it; being able to dodge enemy attacks and then flank them is a testament to one's own strength.
Blood flowed from IF Mei's mouth, and she knew that this was the Finality for her.
"Can you answer one question for me, at the very very end?"
Mei, with her back to the defeated Mei, didn't turn around to look at her, but simply said, "Okay."
"If Kiana became the Herrscher of Finality in front of you, what would you do?"
"That day will never come."
"Ha, who knows?"
Niya fell silent. Yae Xing drew his sword, ready to finish her off, but Mei stopped him. "Let me do it. This is my battle, and I should end it."
With a swift stroke, the blade fell, and a head rolled to the ground.
The corpse dissipated into black particles. Mei took a deep breath, feeling a thousand sorrows still swirling in her heart; defeating the enemy brought her no joy. Just then, Yae Xing suddenly embraced her without warning.
"Huh?" Mei never expected him to do such a thing to her, and for a moment she didn't react before pushing him away.
"Mei, I'm feeling really sad. Can I just hug you like this for a little while?" Just like a younger brother seeking comfort from his older sister after being scolded by their parents, Mei's heart softened, and she acquiesced to his intrusion.
This is how he should behave. After going through so much, he needs to find someone to talk to, right? Come on, I'll share your sorrow.
However, the battle is still ongoing, Kiana's side...
"Ah, don't worry, I've already helped you this far. If you mess up again, calling her Kiana is an insult to the intelligence of Kiana." Yae Xing's body lit up, and she transformed into a fox and pounced into Mei's arms. The girl happily grabbed her and gave her a good pat. That's right, let's rest for a while and make up for the energy consumed in the battle.
To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Yuki in this form, so why do I feel a strange sense of familiarity? Could this be the legendary... love at first sight?
Smack! The little fox kicked her in the face with its paw. "Shut up, woman! That's what you said when you were petting my Pardo ( in Canned Food form) last time!"
Mei, who was enjoying the soft Mei of the little fox, did not notice that the little fox's eyes were fixed on the spot where IF Mei had disappeared. She had noticed something was wrong when she fought it. Where was her core?
Girls have absolutely no resistance to Jotaro creatures.
Hey honey, do you crave a 36D?
Hey honey, are you craving a new skin?
Hey honey, do you want both of them?
Bronya was even more shocked by the fact that this guy dared to openly call her "wife," despite having a 36D bust and a new skin. Where did his usual coyness go? He's not pretending anymore?
Forget it, none of that matters, here you go!
So, Bronya seized the pseudo- Herrscher of Reason Core created by the Herrscher of Scorching Flame: Herrscher of Herrscher of Reason Mode. New power flowed through her body. First, she used the power of the Herrscher of Death to modify her genes, giving her body better Honkai Energy adaptability, and then she implanted this core.
A blue and white dress appeared on Bronya, Heavy Cannon Rabbit was also given a new look, with the official Motorcycle Rabbit making its debut!
"This, this is..." Bronya looked at her hands covered by blue gloves, the glittering blue gem on her chest, and the cropped dress she was wearing, with its overlapping skirts and white stockings that were completely visible on her legs...
"Where's the promised 36D? You liar!" Bronya could still clearly see her feet when she looked down, was furious and pressed her hand against the gem on her chest as she asked.
"Um, I've been thinking about it, I think we should wait for you to develop normally. If you're in a hurry, come back to my room, I'll do what I want to you and then force you to mature... cough cough, see those two robots over there? The one piloting Arahanto is Professor Welt. I just sent him a message, and he's going to analyze this barrier and destroy it. Go help him dismantle this Heavenly Father."
"Understood." Bronya did not hesitate and drove towards the Great Father. The passage formed by the Key of Reason continued to extend in the void, moving towards the future.
—Congratulations! Ya Ya has finally been strengthened! Ah, Old Yang wants to reveal the core information in a few hundred chapters at most—
"Hey, let me ask you a question." Wendy, in the style of Honkai Impact 2, sat cross-legged in the air, looking down arrogantly at the battered and panting IF Wendy at her feet, her eyes full of disdain for her superior.
"What?" IF Wendy barely raised her head, only to hear Wendy say lightly:
Have you ever been in a relationship?
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"You're not single, are you?"
"Single dog, are you okay?"
Puff!!!
Author and IF Wendy HP-999999999
A stream of blood spurted from IF Wendy's mouth, and then she fell straight down, unable to get up again.
"Brother Xing, you're so wicked! How could you come up with such a plan..."
"Winning is all that matters. Come back to my room, let's see how much of your Iron Mountain Lean still remembers~❤"
"Uh-huh!"
Fortunately, he controlled Wendy's body and walked to the dissipating IF Wendy, inserting his hand, which was enveloped in air currents, directly into her body.
Sure enough, there wasn't one.
——Battle Battle——
Time Erasure — Time Reversal!
Time flew by once more, and in the black and white space, the golden king walked slowly, as if he didn't care about anyone.
IF Goose gathers all its power, unleashes its ultimate move during the time-deletion window, and releases it at the very end.
She was certain that even if her opponent were to withstand this attack, he would be severely injured, as it was a power born from the accumulated resentment of countless worlds.
But...
"Dull."
He pinched the tip of the lance between two fingers, and the immense energy converged in his hand, collapsing into a single point, and then—
With a gentle squeeze, it vanishes into nothingness.
Note: This is actually the Black Xing clone disguised as an emperor.
IF Goose gritted her teeth and activated Time Deletion again, launching another attack unwillingly. However, when she re-entered the special space of Time Deletion, she was shocked to find that the Emperor's figure had disappeared during the observed deletion time.
What happened? Where did he go?
The question had barely crossed her mind when she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
The space collapsed with a deafening roar, and she returned to reality. Looking down, she saw a bloodstained longsword thrust out of her abdomen, then spun ninety degrees and slid upwards—
Looking at the two halves of his body that had turned to black ash, the Emperor tossed aside the Aurora Sword and muttered, "Why did I have to try to flank the villain?"
Note: Time Deletion by the Time Sword allows the user to enter a special space to observe events that occur during the deleted time. The user still exists in reality, but is already in the deleted time. Fortunately, the space was frozen at the same time that the IF Goose activated Time Deletion, and an attack was launched in an instant, affecting the observing IF Goose and forcibly ending the time stop.
—How was the viewing?—
Flame and darkness clashed once again, but this time, Kiana, now with new powers, finally showed a tendency to steadily overpower the IF Bug in the battle.
The Flame Sword Liehuo shone with an unprecedented brilliance, a first for both Kiana.
For Kiana, who had not yet fallen into darkness, this was the first time she had activated the latent power of the Flame Sword Liehuo, while for another Kiana, she was battling her own past.
She once wielded that blazing Fire Holy Sword.
She still remembers that time when her companions were in an unprecedented crisis. No matter how great the gap between the two sides was, she never gave up. Even though she was covered in wounds and her consciousness was blurred, Kiana Kaslana never retreated.
The holy sword responded to her will, and the dragon-patterned knight, bringing hope, descended, ending her sorrow.
Now, the Holy Sword has also responded to Kiana's will, transforming her feelings for family, friends, and lovers into a bond of armor, giving birth to the Emotional Dragon.
Note: Due to Kiana's idealistic outburst in the Stigmata Space, as a token of gratitude, the Emotional Dragon was tainted with the colors of Black Xing and Luming, but how much power it can unleash depends on Kiana herself.
"The Evil King's Ultimate Move!"
The purple crescent-shaped sword energy that had previously made her heart tremble rushed towards her. Following the guidance of the Drive Book, Kiana raised the black shield attached to her left arm. The golden patterns engraved on it lit up, absorbing all of the attack. Then, the energy was transferred to the Dragon of Courage shoulder armor on her left arm. Kiana swung her sword in the process, returning the attack after it was enhanced twice, forcing the IF Bug to retreat repeatedly.
"Awesome..." Kiana glanced at the shield in her hand and silently gave her silly younger brother a thumbs up in her mind.
The power of the Stigmata was activated, and the pure white cloak on her back transformed into wings, helping her to move forward bravely. Seeing this, the IF Bug also activated its drive book, mounted the purple dragon, and fought with Kiana again.
Three long dragons—red, white, and black—rushed out, engaging in a fierce battle with the golden dragon horde led by the purple dragon. The two opposing holy swords clashed, their wills clashing, and the battle had entered a white-hot phase.
"Hey, can you answer a question for me?"
Sparks flew between the two, and through the cold mask, IF Bug suddenly asked Kiana a question.
"What?"
"If, if one day you find out that everything you've held onto, everything you've believed in, everything you're proud of, is all a lie, what would you do?"
Kiana fell silent. Although she learned from Sachi that she had the core of the Herrscher of Void within her body, which was Otto's tool to revive Sirin, her observation, judgment, and intuition told her that Sachi had not revealed everything he knew.
At that time, it was obvious that Sachi was only willing to reveal that she had Sirin's core inside her because Bronya had inadvertently led her in that direction during her assessment; otherwise, she might have concealed even more.
But, do those things matter?
"Ultimate Reading Skill! Emotional Ultimate Strike!"
Kiana activated the Drive Book, and the surging power repelled her other self head-on. Then, she leaped into the air and assumed a flying kick stance, with the three dragons of courage, love, and honor swirling around her, all the fantastical power converging at her feet.
I will raise my sword, sever the darkness of the past, and stride toward a bright future!
She gave the best answer through her actions.
Is that so? Then... never forget this battle. Use this will to forge your own future, a different me... never repeat my mistakes...
The IF Bug wearily closed its eyes. Dense black energy flew out from the Dark Moon Dark Sword, and venomous curses reached its ears, urging it to continue fighting.
But she was really tired.
"Haaaaaaahh..."
Kiana roared and kicked the IF Bug, which was shrouded in black mist, creating a stalemate.
Luming Lady was waiting for the second half of the background music on the ground, looked at Jiu Xiao, who was flipping through cards eagerly, and revealed a malicious smile.
"Hey, what's this card? I don't think I've seen it before?" Jiu Xiao looked at the riding card in his hand, which could turn the Extreme Fox into a fox-shaped mount, with great interest. Just as he was about to try it out, Luming launched a righteous sneak attack from behind and knocked him unconscious.
Luming apologetically caught the unconscious Jiu Xiao and Light-Hard Sword Most Light from behind her back and equipped it to Jiu Xiao with the Pure Soul, right?
Holy crap!
Luming raised the Light Sword and threw it with all her might. Amidst the wails of the heavens, it was passed around multiple times by Xingxi, Motoduck, Mei, Wendy and others, and finally thrown onto the high platform.
The Emperor took the Light Sword, weighed it in his hand, ignored Jiuxiao's pleas, aimed, and gently threw it.
The shining Light Sword struck down the Sword of Darkness that was shrouded in darkness. The two distinct holy swords drew two graceful curves in the air before finally crossing and embedding themselves in the floor.
With the last obstacle gone, Kiana once again gathered her power and unleashed her ultimate attack. The explosion sent flames soaring into the air, and a figure flew out, rolling hundreds of meters on the ground. Just as she was about to fall off the platform, Kiana spread her wings and rushed out, grabbing her wrist.
Having exhausted all its transformation energy, the Flame Sword Liehuo slowly dissipated, after all, it was originally a temporary creation.
The armor on the two girls dissipated simultaneously, revealing two white-haired girls who looked alike, one from the past and the other from the present.
(We'll be eating melon seeds at the White Bugster Tavern in the future.)
Why did you save me?
"Who wants to save you? I just have some questions I want answered." Kiana stared intently into the eyes of the IF Bug, her voice trembling slightly. "Tell me, in your world, how did Sachi die?"
"Who... is Xing?" IF Bug, somewhat puzzled, as this was the first time she had heard this name.
"Huh?" Kiana was stunned. Didn't she have a brat in her world? Sure enough, there was no way anyone could take down that cheater.
"Then, who am I?" Kiana hesitated for a moment before asking her second question. "I am Kiana Kaslana, the daughter of Sigfried and Cecilia, the niece of Theresa, the lover of Mei, the friend of Bronya and the others, or the vessel Otto prepared to resurrect Sirin. What else is there?"
Upon hearing her words, the IF Bug was also stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter laugh, "As expected, you know nothing... No wonder, no wonder you can still be so fearless."
"What do you mean?!" Kiana was about to ask when a powerful dark energy erupted from behind her. Dense black mist surged from the Dark Moon Dark Sword, drawing all the resentment from the Sword of Darkness and coalescing into Kiana's appearance. A deep voice came from her mouth:
"It's not over yet... All Kiana... must be killed..."
The Emperor teleported to its side, drew the Light Sword, and gently touched it. Finding no reaction, he took the Sword of Darkness and fled.
The Emperor teleported to Erqi's side and then teleported them back to the ground. The other clones also gathered at the puppet Luming's place with the others.
"Well, I've done all the work for you. You can finish the rest yourselves. I have to log off now." The Emperor tossed the two swords at their feet, and together with the others, they transformed into streams of light that flowed into Luming's body. The doll stuck out her tongue, closed her eyes, made cat paws with her hands, gave a playful "hehe" laugh, and then disappeared (it put itself into the space of the Guidance Module, since it was a doll's body).
"Hey! How can you do this?!" Kiana stomped her feet in anger as her beloved character, who had finally re-logged back online, ran away again. But she quickly regained her composure and prepared for the battle. "But you're right, how's everyone's condition? This should be the last one!"
IF Bug stared blankly at the Fire-Chasing Squad standing together, ready to fight, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, her gaze fell on the Dark Moon Dark Sword Kiana and the others had ignored.
On the shattered void platform, a creature formed from countless Kiana resentments slowly raised its hand, and a huge portal appeared overhead. Benares, the bone dragon that was about to be torn apart by Ultimate Beast GaoKing, limped in.
"You'll protect us, right, Bella?"
The dragon bones collapsed with a deafening roar, transforming into the purest energy that flowed into its hand, forming a large, strangely shaped drive book adorned with white bones. A deep, terrifying sound effect resounded—
"Primitive Dragon!"
Black liquid gushed from its body, reshaping a Sword of Darkness and Dragon of Evil -driven book, and a belt appeared as well.
It opened the pages of the Ancient Dragon's book, repositioning the Dragon of Evil into the central void.
"Jaku Draon! Gate! (Get it!)"
Boom!!!
An immense force erupted from the high-altitude platform, shattering it with a massive impact. The Fire-Chasing Squad their breath, only to see a giant clad in azure and white bone armor emerge from the smoke and dust.
King Sword, Ancient Dragon Form (Megamorph), reporting for duty!
"... Mei, how did we tear apart Godfather last time?"
"Kiana, Ai-chan cut off the power that time..."
"Hoo—" Kiana let out a long breath, conjuring the Heavenly Fire Sword in her hand, pointing it directly at the enemy. "Everyone, no need for further words, Fire-Chasing Squad, prepare—"
"Wait a minute."
Just as Kiana was feeling relieved that she could finally give a proper speech as captain, IF Bug's voice came from behind her. She turned around, and IF Bug raised the Sword of Darkness once again, its gleaming tip pointing straight at her face.
—The Real World—
"Hmm, this is really bad."
Inside a hospital, Saintess Lady walked to a hospital bed, looked at the middle-aged man lying on the bed with a blank expression, gently placed her hand a certain distance away from his forehead, closed her eyes and carefully felt for a while, then opened her eyes and looked at Aponia beside her.
"Although it's troublesome, I still have a way. But before I leave, I have a few questions to ask you."
She tapped the floor lightly with her staff a few times, and several streams of light flew out from her body, heading in different directions.
The pitch-black rain fell, Saintess condensed her sword of exorcism to shatter it, but this only temporarily alleviated the disaster in this area.
After creating her clone, Luming looked at Aponia again and asked, "Tell me, how much power do you have left?"
"We can only see a glimpse of the future, but the power of discipline remains."
The Nun, whose face was pinched by the curious Saintess Lady, said this.
"I see. Have you met the others?"
"No," Aponia answered decisively, not as if she were lying.
Luming silently thought of her old father, Kalpas, who had always taken care of her. Before she arrived, he had always lived in the courtyard and rarely went out. He ordered his daily necessities by courier. No wonder she had never run into him.
"Okay, then the third question, what exactly are the powers of the Thirteenth Herrscher? Is it related to the 'Human Herrscher' you referred to me as before?" Luming narrowed her eyes and asked the question she cared about most seriously.
Aponia was silent for a moment, then extended a finger and touched her forehead; the cool sensation was clearly transmitted to her brain.
"Future Schicksal Saintess of Destiny, this is the answer you must find for yourself. If I were to tell you now, your journey would lose its meaning."
She recalled one of the futures she had glimpsed: a demon king of destruction who would devour the world, Saintess sacrificed her life to protect it, and...
On the land where pink crystal flowers bloom, the flawless one leads the fire-chasing youth to admire his paradise. All thirteen Flame-Chasers are present to offer him the most enthusiastic, grand, solemn, and magnificent celebration.
"...I understand." Seeing that Aponia didn't want to tell her, Luming didn't insist. She playfully slapped her on the butt and flew away through the window. Before leaving, she mischievously made a face and stuck out her tongue at Aponia, making Aponia's mouth twitch wildly.
"No wonder that in the future I see, this child gets along well with Elysia in every possibility..."
St. Freya Academy —
Black rain fell on this usually cheerful island academy. The Crimson Kite Bird calmly hid in the woods. "We are divine beasts," they thought, "This thing has no effect on us."
(The neighbor's Guotie mom is sleeping soundly; we pandas are naturally immune to this stuff!)
The Crimson Kite Bird, looking at the withered plants and worried about losing their food source, were very unhappy. They were also worried about the Valkyrie in the school and had just sent their fastest runner to report the situation.
"Coo coo! (Can foolish humans even understand what we mean?)"
"Coo coo! (Don't worry, young master can understand, right? He can translate, can't he?)"
"Coo coo! (But the day before yesterday, our little princess said that the young master was out and not around.)"
"Coo coo! (That must have been sent.)"
In the guardhouse, the young lady on duty was quite annoyed by the Crimson Kite Bird that kept fluttering about. She had encountered this situation before, and most of the time it was just a greedy Crimson Kite Bird trying to steal some snacks. Feeding it a little would solve the problem. But why was this one acting strangely today?
What's going on today? The weather forecast said it would be sunny! I even made plans to go shopping with my girlfriends after get off work, but that's probably not going to happen now, damn it!
The Crimson Kite Bird was practically screaming insanely, "Coo-coo-coo-coo! (Foolish humans! Run! It won't be safe here soon!)"
Unfortunately, apart from the young boy who was fluent in the language of intelligent beings, no one here could understand it. So when the black alien Honkai Beast broke into the St. Freya Academy, everyone was still living their normal lives.
"What's going on? Why are Honkai Beast getting into the school?!"
"Damn it, what's wrong with this guy? We can't hit her with weapons, and the bullets aren't working either. Quick, go and inform Himeko- sensei!"
The viscous liquid, like a slime, burst into the St. Freya Academy, then transformed into giant beasts of various shapes, launching a coordinated attack on the Valkyrie on duty.
Not long ago Durandal and Rita were urgently summoned back by Otto, and the Luming's Courtyard tour group also left after Christmas. In other words, St. Freya Academy's high-end combat power has been almost completely lost at this time.
"Damn it, the communication signal has been cut off..." The duty officer held the Crimson Kite Bird in one hand and the communication terminal in the other, her face grim. When did this happen? Who did this?
"Wow! A snake! It's a snake!"
"Calm down, this is Honkai Beast... Aaaaah! Why does this Honkai Beast look like the kind I'm most afraid of?!"
The logistics duty squad, lacking combat experience, was powerless to resist the attack of the mutated Honkai Beast. After only a few rounds of fighting, they were already covered in wounds.
"Ah!"
Tentacles emerged from the back of a mutated Honkai Beast, with sharp blades extending from their tips, stabbing at her at a speed that a normal Valkyrie wouldn't have time to react to.
They're doomed.
These were the thoughts of the cannon fodder Valkyrie in the face of death. She closed her eyes, preparing to meet her demise.
I was prepared for death, but when it really comes down to it, I'm still scared. Sister, I'm coming to be with you.
Huh, why can't I feel any pain?
She opened her eyes and saw that the tentacle had been severed by someone. Upon closer inspection, she saw a chestnut-haired girl standing in front of her, holding two blades and leaning slightly forward, creating a confrontational stance.
"This is so annoying, meow! I should have gone with Brother Jie. Hey, what are you standing there for? Go get help, meow!" Seeing that she was still in a daze, Pardo, who was wearing a hood, quickly reminded her, "I'll hold them off here, go get reinforcements!"
"Oh, Teacher Pardo, hang in there, we'll be right back!" Before Pardo could finish speaking, the duty team disappeared like the wind. Cat was on the verge of tears. I asked you to send one of you back to get more people, at least leave a few to help me!
However, it seems they were very attentive in their classes, at least they diligently learned how to escape.
Pardofelis took a deep breath and focused intently. "I'm Flame-Chasers, taking down a few small Honkai Beast shouldn't be a problem... probably?"
The several Honkai Beasts in front of her turned into liquid and merged into one, becoming a cat-shaped Honkai Beast as tall as two or three buildings, which pounced on her. Its sharp cat claws could probably easily slice Pardo into Canned Food.
"Hey, don't do that! I really like cats!"
Pardo frowned, using her agility to evade its pursuit, then jumped onto its back. Just as she was about to use her ring blade to decapitate it, suddenly her fur stood on end. She quickly jumped away, and the cat-shaped Honkai Beast's body instantly transformed into a sphere covered in spikes.
"Phew, that startled me! Luckily, I was lucky!"
Just as Pardo was catching her breath, the duty team came running back. Pardo was delighted to see them, but when she saw that they were panting and looked flustered, her heart sank.
"Teacher Pardo, the electronic lock won't open!"
"Then climb over the wall!"
"But the school is also surrounded by these Honkai Beasts!"
"Ah?"
Pardo tried to contact Sachi, but the communication signal was cut off, so she remembered the Stigmata that had been implanted in her.
The problem is that so far, we've only been able to contact her through this method; she's never tried to contact us in return.
What should I do?
A dense mass of black liquid gushed out from all around. Pardo, holding a ring blade, shielded the students behind her. Even though she was trembling with fear, she did not abandon the students and flee alone.
"You, you are our former students, you can't afford to get hurt..."
(Actually, I originally wanted to write a scene where Pardo pried open the lock to cover their retreat, but was surrounded and seriously injured by Honkai Beast. However, I think I'll save that for later.)
But in her current situation, does she really have that ability?
Originally not a combatant, Flame-Chasers only because there were only thirteen people left at that time. When it comes to the easiest person to fight the Heroes in a one-on-one Flame-Chasers, Pardo dares to claim second place and no one dares to claim first.
Just as Pardo felt helpless and desperate, several arrows fell from the sky, hitting the alien Honkai Beast and causing a series of explosions. Pardo subconsciously looked up and saw a nimble figure slowly walking towards her in the smoke.
Pardo's pupils contracted sharply as memories overlapped with reality. She almost instinctively called out that name, that name that should never exist again.
"Like..."
"Pardo, are you alright?" Luming, holding a light arrow, walked over and asked with concern.
Pardo stared blankly at Luming in this posture, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. She lowered her head in disappointment, but quickly regained her energy and helped Luming to clear out the enemies in the St. Freya Academy.
Schicksal Headquarters —
The brown-haired woman listened attentively as the man recounted the entire story to her. After carefully processing it in her mind, she scratched her head. "So, you were managing your Schicksal perfectly well, and one day suddenly two incredibly large and powerful monsters appeared and fought near your Schicksal, and your strongest Valkyrie was no match for them. That's not all; strange things started happening all over the world, the people were losing their minds, and those Honkai Beast suddenly started moving in large numbers, so... you woke me up early?"
Li Sushang's eyes held an innocent purity untouched by knowledge, making Otto feel embarrassed to exploit her. However, given the current shortage of manpower, he still had to squeeze her dry. "Well, that's about it."
"Where are the demonic beasts?"
"The dragon-shaped Honkai Beast was teleported away by someone, and the other one left on its own."
Little Li Zi immediately felt regretful that she hadn't been able to fight two peak Judgment Class opponents, while Otto was worried for her.
"So, you woke me up to go fight, right?"
"Hmm, that's pretty much the gist of it. Honkai events are happening all over the world now. If we don't take action soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue as bishop." Otto rarely showed a weary expression. He thought that having a few high-end combatants out there would be enough, but now he's been caught in a global crisis. He's at a loss. Luckily, he's secretly kept a few S-ranked ones hidden away, and with Schicksal's preparations in various places, the situation shouldn't be too bad... probably?
I wonder how those two Herrscher from Shenzhou are doing. I hope my old friend can hold on.
As Otto was sighing, an Abyss Flower suddenly fell from above. The two looked up and saw a veiled Saintess descending from the sky. She landed silently in front of them, took out a syringe, pricked her hand, drew a full vial of blood, and handed it to Otto.
"Using this as a sample for analysis, we can research many beneficial things that can help humanity fight against the Honkai, and it should also be of great help in dealing with this crisis."
Her voice was soft and gentle, possessing a noble yet approachable quality. Little Li Zi was eager to try; this woman seemed quite strong, he wondered if they could spar... Wait, why draw blood? It looks painful, doesn't it?
"No respect for elders."
Li Sushang felt a gust of wind blow by, and then she was hit on the head with a stick, which reminded her of her school days.
PS: There's absolutely no problem with what he said. In terms of seniority, he is Little Li Zi's grandmaster.
Otto narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing the Saintess before him with interest. "May I ask who you are, Miss?"
"You don't need to know, Fool. This isn't a gift for nothing. As payment, I'll take something from here. Don't worry, it's nothing to you."
The Saintess didn't want to talk to him much. After giving him her Saintess' Blood, she disappeared, leaving behind a bewildered Otto and a lectured Little Li Zi.
Subsequently, she appeared at Chouki's research institute and took away the imitation spirit sword, Ice Lotus Sky.
—There's nothing wrong with giving Holy Blood; at least it can benefit the Valkyrie of Schicksal who are being ravaged by Schicksal Artificial Stigmata. Fortunately, I know this dual mode can't be maintained for long, so I'm taking some and storing it while I still have pure Saintess' Blood. —
A pure white Saintess slowly descended upon the land of Shenzhou. After rescuing her Mom Hua, Fu, and curing her hidden ailment, Luming Lady moved out a recliner and lay down, preparing to maintain her output. However, she sensed something, sighed, and sat up.
The clones dispersed the dark clouds around the world, which was another significant energy expenditure. Considering that one of his main bodies, Black Xing, was engaged in a direct battle with the Herrscher of Consciousness in outer space, Kuroyuki pondered whether to use the energy to solve the problems on Earth first or to prioritize dealing with the Herrscher of Consciousness. After some deliberation, he decided to rely on the power of the three major organizations to overcome this crisis with minimal personal consumption.
It's said that the Herrscher of Consciousness is truly inhuman. Not only did they use so many Fu Hua bodies to wage a war of attrition, but they also spread black rain on Earth that can steal human consciousness and extract negative emotions to create new alien Honkai Beast. It will probably take a long time to completely eliminate this.
However, let's deal with the immediate crisis first.
The Saintess looked at the surging sea, where a colossal creature rose from the water. Helpless, she covered her forehead and her figure rapidly changed.
Crimson Kite Immortal, specializing in magic, here to report!
Compared to the dual cultivation of physical and magical power during the transformation of the main body, the mode in which Luming transforms alone only uses the power of magical runes, but that is enough.
"Sigh, of all times, it has to be a time when mana is depleted..."
The immortal sighed, then took a step forward, his figure instantly disappearing from the spot and arriving above the giant beast.
"I never imagined I'd have to fight you again—"
"Chiyou".
World Serpent —
"I can help you. But you need to fulfill the responsibilities that come with being a descendant of Flame-Chasers."
When confronted with Luming's request, the Gray Serpent Chief Model gave the following response.
"I can release Kevin."
"Uh, sorry, I spoke a little too loudly just now. Can you really bring the Lord out of the Quantum Sea?"
Luming didn't answer, but gently snapped her fingers. A ring appeared above their heads, spitting out a white-haired man who was trying to cook instant noodles with heavenly fire.
???
The three people on the scene looked completely bewildered, but Kevin's icy expression didn't betray that.
Luming and Gray Serpent both covered their faces, feeling their idol dreams shattered.
"It can be locked up again."
Before Kevin could react, Luming activated the power of the Herrscher of Binding to reset Kevin's level, then snapped her fingers and threw him back into the Quantum Sea, casually glancing at the Gray Serpent beside her.
(This doesn't weaken the Ancestor; anyone who comes into direct contact with the Herrscher of Binding will be defeated.)
"Want him to come out? Fine, beg me!"
The Gray Serpent supervisor, utterly shameless, knelt down at lightning speed, dragging a whole bunch of Gray Serpent with him.
The Jackal, who witnessed all of this through surveillance footage, was questioning his existence.
Damn it, how are we supposed to play this? Director, someone's cheating!
Anti-Entropy —
Lobster Doctor was crying his eyes out while holding Old Yang's black and white photo, thinking that he had died again after his vital signs disappeared from the radar. However, after Luming Lady brought news that everyone was alive, Tesla threw the photo into the trash can with a snap.
"Come on~ the genuine Saintess' Blood Plus blood bank, if it's not enough I can draw some more."
Looking at the box of blood bags, both the red and blue doctors fell into deep thought.
PS: My mother-in-law died from excessive blood loss, but fortunately, she had too much tanky gear, which meant that even if her abilities were split in two, each of them could still have a powerful healing skill.
A "blind uncle" silently emerged from the large locomotive next to him. What's going on? Just after locking the door, a message popped up saying "The conditions for the [War of Salvation] have been met. Passage is permitted." What the heck is that?
A small rocket crashed in the Luming's Courtyard. After failing to parachute, Vill-V coughed for a long time before spitting out the popcorn that someone had stuffed into the cockpit. She tore off the confetti and kicked open the hatch. Just as she was about to embrace her freedom, a fierce-looking masked man holding a kitchen knife pinned her against the wall.
"... Pay up!" Master Sen, overcome with grief, finally managed to utter this word after a long silence.
"What are you going to compensate?"
Kalpas pointed to the vegetable patch next to him, where rockets were planted, and exclaimed, "My family's vegetable garden!!!"
P. S.: Planted by the children who come to play in the yard on weekends.
"Uh..." Vill-V's face was full of embarrassment. No matter how eloquent and persuasive she was usually, her survival instinct told her that if she dared to say anything out of line, she would definitely get a beating.
For Kalpas, he really wanted to kill her, but this woman had this damn feeling that he couldn't fight her, damn it!
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, the leaking rocket suddenly exploded, destroying the apple tree planted by the neighbor Luming, and also blowing away Cosmo, who was on his way home to get equipment from Little Te.
The heartbroken Shi'an cried her heart out, and Griseo, who was painting, ran out to comfort her upon hearing the noise.
And so—
"You son of a bitch, I swear I won't!" The enraged Master Sen nearly activated Collapse, chasing after Vill-V all over the Luming's Courtyard.
"Aaaaaah! Who put fake wheels on my roller skates?! Why is the rope on this grappling hook still broken?! And there's even a bouquet of flowers stuffed inside?!" The distraught Vill-V was almost going crazy, wishing she could drag out all seven of her personalities and ask them all.
—Back to the front lines—
"Surprised? Unexpected? I also managed to abduct Chiyou from other worlds, and not just one, but a full forty-four! I released them all into the sea. Isn't that thoughtful?"
PS: Originally there were 4444, but the number wasn't reduced due to concerns about power Honkai.
"Do you have a prejudice against a certain tanky marksman?" Black Xing Heavenly Fire Unleashed, cleaving through one Herrscher of Consciousness, but more surged forth.
"Heh, give up. How much longer can you fight?" The arrogant voices of the Herrscher of Consciousness came from all directions. Because they were Herrscher of Consciousness, their voices could be transmitted even in a vacuum.
"Now I have the consciousness of all the people on Earth at my command, while you are only one person. How can you possibly stand against me? Give up, you have absolutely no chance of winning!"
"Solvador Kana! Although I really want to say that..."
Faced with the enemy's increasingly intense artillery fire, Black Xing felt a headache coming on, not to mention that he knew the enemy still had a planetary-level Chiyou they hadn't brought out yet...
This is so annoying! He could clearly sense the power of the Finality and the Primordial Power time, so why is there no reaction this time even after all 12 Herrscher Authority have been activated?!
In Shenzhou, an enemy, her body stained with blood, had just emerged from the body of one Chiyou when she saw a new Chiyou. She was almost exhausted and was about to drag herself into battle again when a blazing fire phoenix descended from the sky, driving several Chiyou back hundreds of kilometers in the sea.
"Finally awake..."
Exhausted, the immortal Luming plopped down on Chiyou's corpse and smiled as she looked at the figure surrounded by red feathers.
"There is an immortal in the Shenzhou..."
The true immortal slowly raised his hand, clenched his fist, and assumed a punching stance.
"A single inch of force can split the heavens!"
The immortal unleashed a powerful punch, a strike imbued with her patriarchal rage. The immense force easily shattered the several colossal beasts before her into countless fragments, which then sank to the bottom of the sea along with the rising torrents of water.
"Little Xing!" After dealing with Chiyou, Fu Hua exclaimed and flew towards her child. As soon as she got close, her daughter grabbed her head and pressed it against the pillow in front of her chest.
"You've finally arrived... This time... at least you weren't late..."
Fu Hua was taken aback, a complex mix of emotions welling up within her. Just as she was about to say something, Luming released her, her eyes showing weariness, yet she still spoke earnestly to her, "The enemies aren't just these few big guys, there are many more, but neither of us can handle them. Besides, your sword heart hasn't recovered yet, has it? So..."
As Luming spoke, she closed the distance between the two of them, their noses touching, "Let's merge."
"Ah?"
"Combining, is there a problem?"
Fu Hua's mind conjured up an image of herself and her daughter striking an embarrassing pose, then pressing their fingers together and shouting "Polymerization!" In response, Luming silently flicked her forehead. "I've never told you before that I have the ability to merge with others and achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts, but it requires mutual understanding. We should be fine now, so come on, let's merge!"
"Hey, isn't this a bit too much..." Fu Hua was very particular about etiquette, obviously couldn't agree, but then Luming's words knocked her to the moon. "What are you hesitating for? Everyone in the team has fused with me before, except for you."
Mom Hua has fallen into a state of withdrawal again.
"Don't stand there, the new Chiyou is coming! Before they get here, hurry up and merge!"
Without hesitation, Luming grabbed Fu Hua's hand, told her the key, and then began to visualize their appearances in her mind, but after a long while, there was no reaction.
"Hey, are you still worried about something?" Seeing Fu Hua's stammering, Luming was furious. "I've already told you I have no prejudice against you. Can't you stop being so inflexible and learn to be more flexible?"
"But, but I..." Fu Hua naturally prioritized the overall situation, but a person's mind is not so easily changed.
With no other option, seeing Chiyou's army getting closer and closer, Luming steeled her heart, cupped Mom Hua's face, closed her eyes, and kissed her.
At that moment, the world fell silent.
The White Bugster Tavern fell silent, and the gossip-loving group stared wide-eyed. Wow, this is some exciting gossip!
Fu Hua's eyes widened, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she tried to escape, but the stimulation was too great, causing her powerless body to be tightly held by Luming. She gradually went from being forced to actively exchanging saliva with Lu Meng.
Shared sentiments – Bonded Weaponry activated!
PS1: Before writing, I asked for opinions in the reader group. As a result, all those Mischief Maker chose kissing as the method. Doesn't one of them care about morality and ethics?
PS2: Finally, this dark history form, which was originally scrapped in the third volume of this book, has arrived! Rejoice! The Sage Mother and Bonded Weaponry Form has officially arrived! The eternally flat-chested girl is finally not even lacking an A-rank!
Another powerful aura soared into the sky, and a fully-formed immortal, wielding the Crimson Kite Gauntlets, flew in, his hands slowly rising and trembling.
No, that's not trembling, it's an illusion created by a high-speed punch!
A series of explosions rang out, Chiyou's body was forcibly compressed from the size of a continent into a small pebble. Kevin, who had just arrived, fell into deep thought: When did Hua become so powerful?
—Over there with the Fire-Chasing Squad—
"Answer me another question: when you learn that everything you believe in is false, can you still hold firm to your ideals and beliefs, 'I'?" The IF Bug stared intently at Kiana, its sword still pointing at her.
Kiana stopped Mei from killing her, her eyes flickering but remaining firm. "Of course!"
A giant bone claw charged towards the group. Mei unleashed a lightning blade, but it was easily crushed. Bronya gathered a large number of Key of Reason and fired simultaneously, but it couldn't harm them in the slightest.
"... Then I'll take one more gamble."
IF Bug looked nostalgically at the holy sword in his hand, then resolutely threw it at Kiana. The moment the Dark Moon Dark Sword left her hand, her body began to dissipate.
"This sword was once my Flame Sword Liehuo, but it was later tainted by darkness and became what it is now. Now, the darkness has been drawn away, and if it is once again wielded by someone full of courage and unwavering will..."
Watching the Sword of Darkness of darkness reignite in Kiana's hands, akin to a rebirth, IF Bug breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and slowly fell backward.
"I'm counting on you for everything. You must change your destiny."
"...Um."
The giant bone claw crashed down, but the next second, three long dragons roared and charged out, forcing back the mutated Ancient Dragon.
With the holy sword burning with scorching flames in her hand, Kiana inserted the Emotional Dragon into the re-emerged Sacred Sword Driver her waist, glanced at her companions one by one, and looked at Welt Yang in the distance who was trying to break through this wasteland space. She picked up the Light Sword formed from the Nine Heavens, dual-wielded it, and activated her transformation.
"Everyone, this is truly the final battle. Fire Moth —attack!!!"
The white-haired girl wields a holy sword inherited from another world, becoming Dragon Knight born of bonds, and charges towards the final enemy with her companions.
Resentment is just resentment in the end; it will inevitably lead to defeat. But resentment is endless and never ends.
But no matter how many times it happens, there will always be people who are willing to believe in goodness and try to defeat it.
We generally call such people heroes.
Outer Space Frontal Battlefield—
The expressions of the Herrscher of Consciousness gradually became strange. Black Xing chuckled disdainfully. "What, have you noticed that the Black Rain is gradually being eliminated? Come on, no rush, no rush. Let's see how long you can maintain this consciousness network!"
"Give up resistance right now, or I'll erase their consciousness!"
"Wipe!"
Black Xing examined the Feather Crossing Dust in his hand with amusement. Which is more important, some humans or all of humanity? He wasn't some kind of sanctimonious hypocrite.
On the ground, Luming silently switched the powers of the Herrscher of Consciousness in front of Mom Hua.
They want to destroy, and they want to protect.
I know some things are impossible, but I still want to do them.
They know that saving everyone is a ridiculous delusion, yet they still want to do it.
Good and evil are intertwined in contradiction, innocence and reason are in opposition—this is the purest form of the "True Self."
"Damn it! Damn it! You forced me to bring it out!"
The enraged Herrscher of Consciousness suddenly dwindled in number, and in space, a colossal creature opened its massive maw and swallowed them all whole.
Planet-class Honkai Beast Chiyou, reporting for duty!
"If you'll offer your own flesh and blood as a sacrifice, then I'll do it too!"
After agonizing for a mere tenth of a second between transforming himself into Ultraman to fight monsters and piloting a giant robot, Black Xing chose the second option, since he had never piloted one before.
Black Xing drew the Beast King's Longsword from the void, held it with both hands to his chest, and softly chanted:
[Holy Beasts that protect Earth, heed my call! Combine yourselves into a giant guardian spirit and aid me in battle!]
I willingly offer my body to become the heart of the sacred beast.
Black Xing's body rapidly transformed into a fire phoenix. The Ultimate Beast GaoKing, which had just been exhausted from the great battle, reappeared through the wormhole and swallowed him whole.
Super Beast Fusion!!!
The power of the Herrscher of Scorching Flame combined with the Power Beast, causing its size to explode. A layer of mechanical armor quickly covered the entire body of the Guardian Spirit King, and the enormous Honkai Energy drove the giant god's actions.
Completed—Fire Fang Barking Titan!!!
Level: Planetary
(Originally, I planned to use the Bonded Weaponry to combine with Kiana and the others and be swallowed together, but after thinking about it, I realized that would be too unfriendly to the insects, so I decided to let Black Xing alone.)
The technologically advanced Fire Fang Barking Colossus appeared in space, unfurling several wings of light behind it, with a huge Nine-Tails fiery skirt fluttering behind it. It raised its arm, and several Herrscher Authority were instantly unleashed. A dark red gravity field restrained the planetary Chiyou's movements. The giant Heavenly Fire Judgment was completed and held in its hand, with the Key of Judgment structure incorporated into it.
Ultimate—
The bound Chiyou opened his massive maw, energy continuously gathering, and a beam of destruction was poised to be unleashed.
The Firefang Barking Colossus raised its sword of judgment, intending to deliver its verdict.
Two colossal entities, capable of rewriting the history of Honkai Beast, clashed, their surging energy annihilating all nearby smaller celestial bodies.
This concludes the Movie Version.
A new story is about to begin.
Author's Note—
It's finally over... Actually, it's not over yet. There are still questions like why Flame-Chasers suddenly appeared, and how to clean up the mess Xiao Shi made of Earth if he didn't.
Ahem, since this is Kiana's Movie Version, once Kiana's story is finished, the Movie Version is over.
(Actually, I forgot to include the scene of KK, IF Bug, and Kiana together. I'll add it in the next chapter. I mainly made a bet with my group members, and this time it has to be over!!!)
Ah, I was planning to write a super long chapter of 30,000 words in one go this weekend, but I still fell short...
Okay, everyone, I'm going to rest for a bit...
