Its Thirteenth: The Final Battle Was Also the End

(Ahem, let me explain what happened. Because this Movie Version has been delayed for a long time and I still haven't finished writing it, I made a promise in the group last Friday: if it's delayed any longer by the weekend, I'll crossdress...)

By the way, the whole thing started when the Mischief Maker in the group wanted to pool their money to buy me women's clothing for a cosplay. The black market dealer made me choose between Magical Girl, Mai-senpai, and Ayaka, and I chose Ayaka...

Although nothing came of it, I don't know what possessed me on Friday, I made that kind of pledge... It wasn't because I actually wanted to wear it!!!

In short, playing word Yugi is wrong; you have to fulfill the vows you make, even if you cry.

So everyone in the group, please donate some money to help this poor, Silly Loli...

Ah, the above paragraph was the beginning. By the time it was posted, all the funding had been used up, and the Silly Loli had already placed her order. Now she's just waiting for the goods to arrive so she can prepare for her cosplay.

—Beginning of main text—

What is the concept of Planet-class Honkai Beast?

Fortunately, he didn't know much about it. His real surge in combat power and the broadening of his horizons were cultivated during the long battles in the Ultraman crossover episodes. He had fought monsters of planetary level and even galaxy size, not to mention them.

The problem is that no matter how powerful he is in the crossover episode, it's only temporary. In reality, he doesn't have that much power, or rather, he can't immediately unlock the trial card form.

When he became Black Xing, Sachi was very confused. He didn't know what had happened. Kiana fought desperately to uphold his goodness. In reality, those who had shown kindness fell into misfortune. Aponia gave him guidance, and he finally found himself again, achieving this miraculous state of being.

Black and white represent, respectively, the maturity (decline) that comes from recognizing reality and the naivety (folly) of clinging to illusions. These contradictory sides spiral together, coexisting as one—this is the purest form of humanity.

I know I can't save everyone, and I know there are some things I can't do, but I just really want to do them.

This is not hypocrisy; it's just a normal human reaction.

You don't need to feel ashamed of this. Fortunately, you can just do what you want to do. You are not a fake hero created to please someone. You were just noticed by someone, observed in the Main Branch World by a Silly Loli who is willing to believe in goodness. In order to let more people know your story, she picked up a pen and sacrificed her time and energy to write your story into a novel and spread it in her world.

She sacrificed a lot, but also gained a lot, such as a bunch of psychologically unstable S-class containment objects...

(Here! Capture You Hui and have her dressed as a woman! Lock her in a dark room and give her a good lesson! Let's see if she dares to stand us up again!)

Ahem, the situation is urgent, so I'll keep it short. Even though you can't hear me, I still want to give you my sincerest blessings here.

May you find happiness in a future where I am not watching over you.

"Drink it!!!"

Two streaks of crimson light ripped through the dark universe. The planet-sized Fire Fang Barbarian Colossus suddenly erupted, sweeping away the debris from the explosion, grabbing one of the planetary-level Chiyou's arms and throwing it away. Countless thrusters on its body spewed out brilliant sparks. The immense power was something even a planetary behemoth could not withstand. It flew through the universe almost the distance from Earth to Mars, but quickly stabilized its body. Countless purple light spots lit up on its body, transforming into countless purple rays that attacked the Fire Fang Barbarian Colossus.

"Come on! Let's see who has more artillery fire!"

Within the consciousness space, Black Xing stood in the cockpit he had conceived, his fingers rapidly typing on the virtual keyboard. Countless cannons appeared on the Maximal mechanical armor, and the several beast heads on his body opened their giant mouths to gather energy. The kangaroo mother and baby shooting backpack also raised its muzzle. After both sides had gathered their energy, they immediately began a beam-of-war that ignored left and right.

"Barking God Supreme Primordial Beast Heart - Corrosion Fire Special Edition!"

"Chiyou 'Finality Shattering Wave - A Special Product of the Herrscher of Consciousness!"

"Does it have to be longer than mine?"

"I like it when you tell me what to do?!"

The two kids started hurling insults at each other through telepathy, though the intensity of their attack needs improvement. Meanwhile, they were also engaged in a real fight, exchanging punches and kicks with great enthusiasm. But why does it look more and more like two naughty kids fighting?

What? You're asking me why Black Xing didn't unleash all the Divine Key again and kill Chiyou?

Ahem, my friend, when you Megamorph, the consumption of all your abilities increases exponentially. For example, at human size, Black Xing can easily perform all sorts of fancy maneuvers using the powers of the Herrscher of Void, but right now...

The planetary-level Chiyou is extremely sensitive to the scent of Honkai Energy, and can predict most spatial attacks in advance. It's unrealistic for it to dismember the body like Doctor Strange using a portal. In addition, most Planet-class Honkai Beast have some special abilities that can rival Herrscher. Black Xing sensed that this thing might be able to interfere with his powers...

Refer to that cheap thing called the Staff of the Underworld.

Another thing is, I'm almost out of mana!!!

Originally, the Herrscher's Honkai Energy expenditure was all self-sufficient from the Imaginary Space, so Yukio thought that the more Honkai Energy, the better, aiming to reach the point where Otto, in his future avatar as a false god, could fool the Honkai Will of Honkai, thus slowing down the next Imaginary Space erosion. But...

Fortunately, as they continued to borrow, they suddenly discovered that the Herrscher of Scorching Flame's output was gradually decreasing, or rather, that the Herrscher Core and powers were malfunctioning.

Tsk, was it because of that time reset before? It seems my intuition was right; the Fiery Erosion has been subject to some kind of restriction. I can tell from the fact that the Flame-Chasers Mark no longer appears on the white Divine Ring, although its power can still be used normally for the time being...

(This has nothing to do with the author. It's the Will of Honkai, or rather, the chaotic Prometheus Duck, that's causing this. You can think of it as two conflicting commands driving the Will of Honkai, which is the spark of hope that the past gives to the future, and also the future's response to the past.)

Black Xing glanced at the remaining energy on the screen with frustration. The pillar within the battery icon was rapidly decreasing. The boy gritted his teeth and squeezed out more energy from his body, unleashing the power of the Herrscher of Stone.

"Let me... go inside!!!"

Black Xing controlled the Fire Fang Maximal to throw the Gigantamax Greatsword Heavenly Fire. When it flew to the front of the Planetary Chiyou was in a defensive stance, it suddenly exploded. In the chaos, a dark red gravity field pressed down on it. At the same time, the Maximal, which increased its own gravity, descended from the sky and kicked it in the face, intending to kick it into the giant pseudo-black hole that it had just opened behind it.

"It's not that easy!!!"

With a roar, the Herrscher of Consciousness caused the planetary-level Chiyou to vanish from its spot. The next second, it appeared behind the Fire Fang Barking Giant God, intending to turn the tables and kick him in. Black Xing had no choice but to release the black hole and, in space, turned around and kicked the planetary-level Chiyou in the chin. Large amounts of blue blood splattered in space.

"Oh, what's wrong? Are you getting impatient?"

The planetary-level Chiyou nonchalantly spat out a few broken teeth and continued fighting, tearing at its mechanical armor, but the damage was quickly repaired by the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

Note: The Power Beast are essentially living beings.

The Herrscher of Consciousness wasn't in a hurry. This guy had been fighting for so long, breaking through his limits several times to gain new power. Logically speaking, he should be close to his limit by now.

"What a pity, what a real pity. If you hadn't spread your clones across Earth, wasting your energy on those hopeless fools, and instead concentrated all your power on me, the outcome would have been very different..."

The Herrscher of Consciousness's voice, tinged with regret but mostly with smugness, entered Black Xing's mind. He impatiently severed the mental link between the two, but the annoying voice did not stop.

"Hey, tell me, what's so important about that little blue sphere? Most of humanity has been turned into zombies by me because they weren't adapted to Honkai Energy, and you still want to waste your energy saving them? The environment has been almost completely polluted by the massive amount of Honkai Energy I spread; it's basically a mess. What else do you want to do? Don't think I didn't see through you. You say you don't care about the consciousness of those ants, but in reality, you devour and store the souls of those humans every time you destroy one of my clones. Sigh, what can I say about you? Is this what they call Tsundere?"

"... You talk too much nonsense. Haven't you heard that villains have always died from talking too much?" In response to the Herrscher of Consciousness's question, Black Xing's answer was to unleash the Megamorph Heavenly Fire Unleashed, which almost severed half of Chiyou's body in one strike, but also healed rapidly in an instant.

"Don't flatter yourself. I only have one reason for saving them... It would be too pitiful if there were no audience members applauding and cheering when idols were performing on stage."

—Although she's called the Demon King, Luck is Luck, ah, from now on, this form of Luming will be referred to as "White Dream"—

Suddenly, the Immortal Mode was deactivated, White Dream, her face pale, collapsed to the ground. Fu Hua caught her in time, held her in his arms, and asked her anxiously. Kevin, who was holding Heavenly Fire and finishing off the last ordinary Chiyou You, slowly drew his weapon, devoured its body, and looked in their direction.

Despite being a Herrscher, she chose to fight for humanity. This era is truly interesting... no, it should be attributed to Elysia.

However, why do I sense several familiar auras emanating from her?

"Dumb and flat-chested mom... take Kevin and me to the St. Freya Academy... I'm going to gather the Thirteen Flame-Chasers there..."

White Dream spoke intermittently in Fu Hua's ear, saying that even in such a weak state, she still managed to crack a joke, which made Fu Hua's veins bulge with anger despite her heartache. However, she was also relieved that Bai Meng still had the energy to joke, so it seemed that the situation wasn't as serious as it appeared.

On the other side of Anti-Entropy—

The Awakener, who was dragged into the spaceship by White Dream's clone and headed towards St. Freya's academy, was a little confused. Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Even someone as intelligent as him was somewhat confused at this moment.

Actually, White Dream was also confused. How did this guy suddenly run out of the Thousand Worlds? Was he watching from inside all along? I was wondering why he hadn't come out.

But it's good that we're out. Let's hurry up and go to the St. Freya Academy for a family fun event. Maybe my chaotic powers are related to Flame-Chasers?

An intuition led her to this answer; since she had no other ideas, she might as well take a gamble.

Over at the Luming's Courtyard, Kalpas Amo was holding Griseo in his arms, grabbing one of the Magical Girl Lady's ankles, with a bundle of Vill-V covering her head on his back. She was shy and buried her head in the witch's back. She was probably Model Five who didn't usually come out.

"Wow, what's this? Buy three get one free?"

Xing was secretly delighted that the three Jie had actually come to his door today; he only needed two more to complete the set! But he could only smile for a while, as Black Xing was under a lot of pressure and was almost out of mana! "Ancestor Kevin, lend me your power!"

The righteous humans of Earth... seem unable to conjure a Spirit Bomb; most of humanity is still in a state of mindless stagnation.

On the other side, Miss Aponia was expressionless as a man in black suddenly appeared, gagged her with a wet cloth soaked in anesthetic, knocked her unconscious, tied her up, dragged her into a car, and sped away. The whole process was professional and efficient, with almost no flaws.

"Does that child have some kind of prejudice against me? Or is he just a simple-minded person with a bad personality? I'll have to talk to Hua about him properly in the future..."

The Mobius, who had struggled to secure itself to the witch's arm before takeoff, was feeling very aggrieved. "Little guinea pig, don't forget about me!"

St. Freya Academy —

With the combined efforts of White Dream's clone, Pardo, Theresa, Himeko, and Eden, who arrived on a warship after receiving the news, the enemies invading St. Freya Academy were all wiped out. Under Theresa's reluctant gaze, White Dream personally sent the Crimson Kite Bird and the Guotie mother and daughter to the Hyperion, and then stood there with the two Flame-Chasers to watch the two warships depart.

"Little... Little Luming! I'll come back to help you as soon as I've settled them in!"

Theresa's worried cries dissipated in the cold air. White Dream lowered her head, tears glistening in her eyes. Pardo affectionately nuzzled her cheek, soothing her emotions.

"Alright, little one, you must have something important to tell me by calling me here, right?" Eden held up a large umbrella to shield the three of them from the black rain, while also pinching her little cheek. "Hmm, although it's a bit inappropriate, you seem to be a lot cuter than before."

"Ah, it's something very important, but not everyone has arrived yet."

White Dream raised her head and looked at the distant sky. A figure similar to her rushed towards her, turning into a stream of light and flying into her body.

The avatar of Schicksal returns.

The Saintess slowly raised her hands, and countless azure ice blades, which had slain countless enemies, floated in front of her. Upon seeing this weapon, both Pardo and Eden widened their eyes, especially Pardo.

A dark red katana floated out from White Dream's body, transforming into a pink-haired, fox-eared girl who looked at the Saintess preparing for the ceremony with a mixture of sadness and anticipation.

"War spirits that have wandered for tens of thousands of years..." White Dream murmured, and a holy pillar of light shot into the sky, shattering the dark clouds that filled the sky, and the warm sunlight shone on this land once again.

"Your grievances have been resolved. Awaken from your eternal slumber, you Flame-Chasers bearing the inscription of 'Moment'!!!"

Blood vessels, nerves, muscles... a living human being was created little by little out of thin air. White Dream thoughtfully added clothes to it. Looking at the familiar pink-haired fox-eared girl, Pardo and Eden were utterly shocked.

Is this girl a god? Can the power to resurrect the dead out of thin air truly be controlled by humans?

PS: The setting here is that Sakura's soul was attached to the Ice Lotus Sky because of her deep obsession. White Dream, who went to deliver the Holy Blood, sensed her presence and brought her over.

"Sister!" Before Sakura could even open her eyes, Hiyokomaru, or rather Rin, who had already burst into tears, threw herself into her sister's arms and told her about her experiences over the past 50,000 years. Yae Sakura in the Stigmata Space sighed softly upon seeing this, but instead of feeling disappointed, she offered them her blessings.

"She'll tell you the specifics. Time is short, and I don't have time to explain everything."

Crimson blood flowed from her face, startling the two Flame-Chasers. White Dream waved her hand, sat down to rest alone, and recalled all the clones she had created. When she opened her eyes again, she saw 11 different figures standing in front of her.

PS: The Mobius that crawled onto White Dream was automatically ignored. Fortunately, she had no idea that she was raising a real Mobius.

"Greetings! Please allow me, the strongest human being of this era, to offer you my highest respect. Enough with the empty flattery, let's get straight to the point—"

(Is there anything wrong with the way this sentence is expressed?)

In front of the twelve Flame-Chasers, she activated the Herrscher of Scorching Flame: White Power. A blank divine ring appeared behind her, with only three pointers ticking away on its bare surface.

Do you approve of me, Flame-Chasers?

—Attention: The big one is coming!—

"Ha!"

Kiana roared, and her twin swords blazed with intense light. Under the cover of her companions, the Megamorph Ancient Dragon King Sword was restrained, and the heavy bone armor on its chest was pierced by Mei and Bronya's combined efforts. Welt, who had successfully broken the barrier, was severely injured, and Kiana finished off the enemy with the final blow.

"And that's it! My lingering regret!"

The Holy Sword of Light, transformed from the Nine Heavens, emitted countless tiny points of light, all of which floated into the giant monster's body, melting like ice and snow. Gaps were burned into its body. Kiana seized the opportunity, and the Fire Holy Sword in her hand instantly lengthened, cleaving the giant monster in two with a single strike.

Warm sunlight shone on the ravaged land, and the black matter quickly melted away. Kiana breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the battle was finally over. But just as she was about to reunite with her companions to search for Sachi's whereabouts, her consciousness was pulled into a strange space.

——Divider——

"Hello, I'm someone who hasn't yet become [Sin Flame]..."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang in her ears. The white-haired girl opened her eyes and saw a girl who looked like her sitting lazily on the sofa, with cookies and drinks on the table in front of her.

"Hey, why don't you come and have some?" KK gestured for her to sit down, but the girl hesitated and didn't dare to come forward.

"Where is this?" she asked.

"It's a gap between worlds, a gap between worlds, well, you can think of it as a place to observe the world," KK replied, after all, the White Bugster Tavern did indeed bear such a responsibility.

"Then, now I..."

"You're dead." KK gave a clear answer, addressing the still somewhat confused IF Bug.

"Shouldn't we go to hell?" The IF Bug lowered its head and said in a voice only it could hear.

"Ah, speaking of which—" KK lowered his head awkwardly, "I'm sorry, it was our negligence. Your world shouldn't have gone that way, but during the last world reset, an accident caused something to go wrong, leading to a catastrophic future. And we failed to correct this mistake in time, it's really..."

"Saying sorry is pointless now, isn't it?" IF Bug didn't want to hear any more answers. "I've already committed such grave sins..."

KK coughed a few times, gesturing for her to look behind her.

The wall was flipped open, revealing a massive assembly line operation below. One Kiana after another, each with their own unique style, were busy infusing souls whose memories had been wiped clean into reconstructed bodies, placing them back into their respective timelines, and restoring order to the world.

"This, this is..." The IF Bug felt its worldview crumbling.

KK gently patted her shoulder. "Since it's a mistake, it needs to be corrected. This is a series of chain reactions caused by our negligence, so we are naturally fully responsible. All the Kiana you killed—we have carefully collected and stored their souls and reinserted them into their own worlds."

Really? Is this... is this really not a dream?

Like a doll whose threads have been cut, IF Bug slumped to the ground, utterly dejected. The stark contrast made her wonder if this was just another dream. Seeing this, KK sighed softly, crouched down, and whispered in her ear, "They all have a chance to start their lives anew, including you."

Seeing that IF Bug didn't react, KK patiently repeated the instructions several times before she finally came to her senses.

"May I?"

"Sure!"

Faced with IF Bug's doubts, KK flashed a bright smile, "After all, this is a positive, healthy, and uplifting story~ Ah, here she comes."

Following her gaze, IF Bug saw a white fluffy ball sitting on the sofa, eating and drinking heartily in a very familiar manner. "Mmm, delicious. Can I pack some to take home?"

The two insects covered their faces in unison, thinking, "That's so me!"

"Ah, what you were saying just now... umm... I heard a bit of it. It's so wonderful that it had such a beautiful ending! So why did you call me here? I still have a brat brother to help." Kiana, having quickly replenished her energy, rested for a moment and urged KK, "If there's nothing else you need me for, could you send me back to my own world?"

"Ah, of course there are."

KK beckoned with her finger, Flame Sword Liehuo flew out from Kiana's body. Kiana thought she was going to return it to the IF Bug, but the Bug seemed to have read her mind. With a wry smile, it opened a cabinet revealing a whole bunch of Flame Sword Liehuo. "There are plenty in parallel worlds," it said. "This thing isn't actually that valuable~"

To avoid upsetting her, KK decided against showing her the warehouse full of Herrscher Core, fearing it might make her question the meaning of life.

KK casually pulled out a Flame Sword and handed it to IF Bug. He then ran his fingers over the Fire Holy Sword that one Kiana had passed to Kiana, infused it with some of his own power, and returned it to Kiana.

"Keep moving forward. There's no need to feel pressured or lost. Just be yourself. Also, if you feel sad, talk to the people around you. Whether it's us or them, we all want to see you smile."

"So, are all of these my future selves?"

"To be precise, it's about different possibilities for you. As for which one you will become in the future, I can't give a precise answer." KK patted Kiana on the shoulder. "But no matter which possibility Kiana is, she will eventually walk the path to become [Spark], even if it's in a different way."

"Xin Yan..."

"Ah, that's a path you haven't yet explored," KK said earnestly. "Ah, after you leave here, your memories of the White Bugster Tavern will be automatically erased, but the feelings you gained from this battle will remain deep within your memory. We have no right to take away the emotions and growth you experienced. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

"Although I really want to complain about this sudden encounter and the abrupt announcement, there are indeed some things I really want to ask..." Kiana looked at the IF Bug standing silently in the corner, "She can still return to her own world, right?"

"Yes, something went wrong in one link, which caused her future to be distorted. This is my dereliction of duty. I will send her back to the point before the mutation. As for what kind of future she will have this time, that's up to her."

As KK spoke, he flicked his finger and drew a circle in the air, and a door radiating a bright light appeared beside the IF Bug. "Alright, your time is up. It's time to leave."

"... Thank you, I hope this isn't just a beautiful dream before I die."

After giving the two of them a deep look, IF Bug turned and walked into the door with her new sword, but Kiana called out to her, "Hey, aren't you taking this sword back? Although the new one is better, this is your old buddy that has been with you in battle all this time!"

"Here you go, consider it a warning. I hope you remember what you said today, and never follow in my footsteps..."

After a brief exchange, the IF Bug vanished into the light, and a series of familiar figures appeared before her—

Kiana! We're going to be late!

The light shattered like fragments, and the girl finally came to her senses. She hurriedly got out of bed, dressed, and gave Mei, who had called her to get up, an awkward smile. "Okay, Mei, I'll be right there!"

"Honestly, we were supposed to get up early today to listen to the headmaster recite the oath, but last night we played Yugi with Bronya until so late..." The married woman was a little angry, but she didn't dwell on it. Just as she was about to go to Bronya's room to wake her up, Kiana hugged her from behind.

"Hey, Kiana! We're going to be late!" Mei scolded, but Kiana's sobs made her a little flustered. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, Mei, can you pinch me? I don't know why, but I feel like I'm dreaming..."

Kiana hugged Mei tightly, afraid that she would disappear from her side. Seeing this, Mei quickly comforted her softly until Bronya had naturally turned on, came looking for her.

Great, all three of them successfully arrived late.

—Hehe, this book is mainly about sweets, although some parts are filled with sweets—

"Sigh, now White Bugster Tavern will be working overtime for a long, long time..." After seeing IF Bug off, KK rubbed her head in exasperation. The more assertive she was in front of You Hui before, the more humble she felt now.

After all, sending the murdered Kiana back and restarting the timeline is no small task. It would require asking heavyweight figures like Yue for help, not to mention that those people are all shut-ins who don't want to do anything...

"Should I give in to You Hui and ask her to put in a good word for me?" KK thought to himself as he resigned himself to his actions at the crematorium.

"Hey, do you know where Xing is? Can you teleport me there directly? I want to help him!" Kiana couldn't wait to go into battle after resting and recovering her strength. Seeing this, KK's face fell and he slapped her on the shoulder, almost turning her into Kiana.

"Sweetie, you don't need to face an enemy you can't beat even if you're cheating." KK looked at her with pity. Poor kid, it must be tough being teammates with that guy who keeps getting stronger. It's not that you guys are too bad, it's just that his level increases too fast for you to keep up.

"I knew that guy was grinding dungeons again! Can't he take a break?" Kiana winced in pain, rubbing the spot where she had been slapped, but remained resolute. "Then at least transfer my power to him. I remember my little brother said he can't sustain a fight for too long right now. This is probably the only thing I can do to help him, even if it only extends his life by 0.0001 seconds!"

"Oh, are you sure?" KK gave a meaningful look and grabbed Kiana's hand. "Are you really going to help?"

"Certainly!"

"Okay, then I'll lend you a hand."

KK narrowed his eyes, his round pupils instantly turning into cross shapes. He casually extended a finger and lightly tapped Kiana's chest, as if turning on a switch. An unprecedented power flowed through her body, purple Honkai erosion patterns moved across her limbs, her eyes began to turn orange, and the shape of her pupils began to transform into the Herrscher's cross shape.

"This, this is..."

Looking at Kiana kneeling on the ground in pain, KK remained expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with him. "Let me tell you something. He is in a very special state right now. If you want to help him, your output needs to be at least at the Herrscher level. So I helped you activate this core. Ah, I even awakened her consciousness along with it."

Kiana couldn't hear what KK was saying anymore; she was now drawn into her own inner world.

"Ha, we finally meet. You..."

Resembling Kiana in appearance, the white-haired, golden-eyed queen stood proudly in the void, with numerous Void Lance appearing behind her. The Herrscher of Void looked disdainfully at Kiana, who had a puzzled expression, and was about to mock and annihilate her when she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes. Then, her gaze shifted upwards, and a pain came from behind her.

She fell to the ground, her face still burning. What happened?

"Where did this lunatic come from? Not only does he look exactly like me, but he also has the audacity to stand so high up, trying to copy Bronya and create a treasure trove of male prostitutes?!"

Kiana, who was holding back her anger from the Movie Version, showed no mercy to the Herrscher of Void. She activated the new armor she obtained in the Movie Version, spread her wings of light, and instantly appeared in front of her. She unleashed a "Friendship Punch" filled with rage, then grabbed the Herrscher of Void's body and slammed her knee into her waist, destroying her spine. She then grabbed one of the Herrscher's legs, spun her around in the air several times, and finally slammed her heavily to the ground.

Do you think I'm the idiot from the original story who let you steal my account? I'm just a little weaker than that cheating brat. Dealing with you, you pufferfish, is a piece of cake!

P. S.: In terms of overall strength, Kiana is no weaker than Kiana before she was infused with flames in the original storyline. (Although Fu Hua didn't teach her the Taixu Sword Qi, she did get some extra help~ Good things should be shared~)

(Ah, after years of accumulation, Sachi has perfected his swordsmanship. Do you guys have any disagreements about this? If so, keep it to yourself; this is the culmination of hundreds of thousands of years of development in the Ultraman crossover series.)

That wasn't all. After successfully stunning the Herrscher of Void and forcing her to retract her Void Lance before she could unleash it, Kiana's movements didn't falter at all. She drew her Flame Sword and stabbed it into the Herrscher's face. Crimson blood splattered on her face, but Kiana didn't notice. She frantically used her weapon to ravage the Herrscher's body, venting her rage.

"Go to hell! You murderer who killed my mother! I know you're pathetic, but I also know this is the best way to free you! I wish you happiness in your next life, Sirin!"

The principle of mercilessly crushing the enemy until they are completely unable to resist was taught to her by Teacher Himeko in class, and later personally demonstrated by Yuki through her actions.

Kiana was thankful that she had shown mercy when fighting normally, rather than the sadistic mentality she displayed when fighting Mei who were under her control.

The girl's pupils had completely transformed into the cross shape of Herrscher, but the color dancing in her eyes was that pure blue.

St. Freya Academy —

On the way, Fu Hua explained the situation to Kevin. While waiting for others, Eden and Pardo also explained the situation to Sakura. Aponia already knew everything. Although Su was a little confused, White Dream answered his questions on the way. Only the amnesiac Kalpas Cosmo Griseo Vill-V a little confused.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Mobius tried to attract attention, but was finally discovered by White Dream. She was almost stuffed into a small rocket and sent to safety, but was stopped by Aponia.

"It's better not to do that. There are strange occurrences happening in various places right now. Perhaps it's safest to be near you."

The animal lover thought for a moment, then put the Mobius back around his ankle. Mobius, furious, stuck out his tongue wildly at Aponia, baring his teeth and claws—oh wait, she couldn't bar her claws right now.

Aponia, are you doing this on purpose? Tell her I'm Mobius, and have her channel some energy into me to turn into human form!!!

The Mobius is going crazy.

Note: Aponia does know this, but she doesn't tell Sachi. She thinks it's better not to reveal it to prevent a series of changes that could affect the future.

Main battlefield—

After several more fierce clashes, the mechanical armor of the Fire Fang Barking Colossus suffered severe damage, but the repair speed was much slower than before. The Herrscher of Consciousness secretly rejoiced at this, "Heh, wasn't it quite energetic just now? It's already failing?"

"Whether it works or not, come to bed and fight me, then you'll know. Well, even though you don't arouse me at all, if you insist on having a deeper conversation with me, I can modify my consciousness to make you see me as..."

Black Xing's taunts always hit home. The Herrscher of Consciousness went berserk on the spot, controlling the planetary-level Chiyou to pounce. Black Xing snorted coldly, gathered his power and threw a punch, but it was steadily caught by the planetary-level Chiyou You.

You're tired!

With a roar, the Herrscher of Consciousness delivered a powerful punch to the lion's head on the chest of the Fire Fang Barbarian Giant God, immediately eliciting a mournful howl from the GaoRed Lion. At the same time, the GaoCrab, responsible for the hands, was also overwhelmed and almost crushed alive by the planetary-level Chiyou.

"Let it end like this, I win!" The Herrscher of Consciousness controlled the planetary-level Chiyou, gripping the Fiery Fang Barking Colossus tightly. It opened its massive maw, a terrifying purple breath poised to unleash, but the next second, a powerful aura erupted once more from the Fiery Fang Barking Colossus. Its damaged armor rapidly repaired itself, and a chilling light flashed in the colossus's eyes—

Everything stagnates, but power is unleashed in reverse!

Originally intended as a weapon, the Divine Key, which the far-sighted Vill-V transformed into "Noah's Ark," finally demonstrated its strategic value in Xing's hands. The part of the planetary-level Chiyou and the Fire Fang Frog that were in contact was rapidly frozen by the low temperature. The gripped fist exerted force, shattering the beast's claws, and the Greatsword Heavenly Fire was reconstructed and swung towards the behemoth.

The high temperature spread throughout Chiyou's body, quickly dissolving the ice, and the newly grown claws firmly gripped the blade of the Greatsword Heavenly Fire.

"Can you stop being so stubborn? Will you die if you don't show off?!" The Herrscher of Consciousness was speechless. She could clearly feel that Black Xing's aura was rapidly declining, but this guy just kept putting on a brave face and showed no sign of weakness.

In the pure white space, the tip of the greatsword burning with heavenly fire pointed directly at the gods, but one shackle after another fell on the boy's body, suppressing the raging flames. The flames gradually turned into flames, and then faded away, leaving only a few sparks.

"Ahem, I only borrowed a little Honkai energy from you. You've already borrowed so much, so borrowing a little more is the same as borrowing a lot. Don't be so Honkai Energy."

Despite being bound by thirteen shackles, the boy showed no sign of panic. Instead, he looked directly at the deity on the altar.

The god, who should have been pure white and faceless, was now in disarray, his appearance rapidly shifting between a pure white faceless being and a gray-haired, red-eyed doll. Fortunately, a glint flashed in his eyes, and the Corrosion Black dial appeared behind him, as he began to wield the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

Power connection confirmed, access to the Honkai database confirmed... Authentication successful.

Search initiated with keywords: [Herrscher of Scorching Flame], [Thirteen Flame-Chasers], [The Finality], [Human Herrscher]

Note: The Herrscher of Reason in the Lucky version possesses a unique ability to establish a super-large search engine by connecting with the Will of Honkai. This allows her to intercept information transmitted by the Will of Honkai, differentiate and store it, and retrieve information from the database using keywords without being affected by the Will of Honkai, thereby obtaining the knowledge she wants.

(To be more specific, do you know what the Earth Library is? It's similar in concept.)

A flood of information rushed into his mind in an instant. Even though he had witnessed the demise and rebirth of the universe, he was still thrown into a state of confusion by the information flow that exceeded the brain's capacity in a short time. Fortunately, he was able to stabilize himself almost instantly and search for the information he needed.

No, the total amount is still too much, and there isn't enough time. We must narrow down the scope.

Add the keyword "Elysia" and search again.

Why he included that woman's name was unknown to him; it was just a gut feeling.

Because in the final chapter of the Elysian Realm, Elysia revealed her identity Thirteenth Herrscher, and logically, the new main storyline of the Elysian Realm should have officially announced the specific information of the Thirteenth Herrscher, but she went to the Honkai World before she even fought.

Moreover, he could only seize the powers through the fire, which were 12 of those that were corrupted, but he missed the thirteenth one.

Most of the useless information disappeared before his eyes, leaving only the key information he needed. Fortunately, he reached out and was able to take in all the detailed information about himself, this special Herrscher.

"So that's how it is. The [War of Salvation] greatly increases its power when facing a global crisis. And these [Thirteen Trials] require the full approval of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers of the previous century to fully unleash their power... Damn, we're still missing two."

Xing frowned because he noticed that some information in the book was blank, or rather, had been deliberately erased. He took a deep look at the Will of Honkai that was still in a state of self-confusion. Give me a trial card for the crossover chapter, and I can beat you so badly that even your own mother wouldn't recognize you.

Searching again, the keyword is [Thirteenth Herrscher, Elysia].

Countless pieces of information were arranged and eliminated before the boy, decreasing at a visible speed. In his expectant gaze, the vast library was soon reduced to just one book.

However, that book also disappeared.

No such person found.

Searching again, the keyword is [Elysia].

A multitude of books flew about wildly, the orderly system collapsed, but the search engine was kept stable, and in the limited time available, the search engine was managed to find its answer.

"Hmm~ Little brother, it's not right to pry into a young girl's secrets~♪"

A melodious, slightly reproachful voice rang in his ear, instantly blanking his mind. When he finally came to his senses, he was back in Black Xing's perspective, looking at the planetary-level Chiyou gathering power for a final, powerful attack, and then at the nearly empty energy bar on the screen. Black Xing sighed and tapped his head helplessly. In this cockpit constructed entirely of his imagination, he opened a hidden cover, "Backup hidden energy..."

"Roar! (Big brother, calm down! If all else fails, we can call the Fang-Barking Kirin and the others for help! Those Qilin are incredibly strong!)"

Before he could even strike, the terrified cries of the Power Beast exploded in his head. Black Xing felt a headache coming on. A bunch of cowardly creatures! Where did your courage go last time, when you defied Phoenix and Icarus's ferocity to fight alongside me? Did you get eaten by Moon Wheel Bear along with your honey?

Of course, he wouldn't fry the radish along with the carrot; he's an animal lover.

"Calm down, calm down. Have you guys been watching too much anime? I meant a real backup energy source, not that I'm going to make you self-destruct."

As for what the backup hidden energy source is?

Isn't the answer to this question obvious?

"I have transformed into a bird of the soul, becoming the heart of our guardian spirits... In other words, I am now the engine of this Fire Fang Howling Giant."

Black Xing calmly opened his chest, grasped the still-beating heart, pulled it out, and crushed it. The viscous red liquid spilled out, nourishing the body.

"Offer my blood and flesh, and I will grant you inexhaustible strength."

A fierce red light shone from beneath the shattered mask of the Fire Fang Barbarian Titan. A clockwork ring engraved with intricate totems emerged from its back, with twelve patterns representing the Herrscher Authority flashing incessantly. Three pointers spun rapidly. Just when it should have been exhausted, it erupted once more, punching the chin of the planetary-level Chiyou, who was about to unleash its breath, forcibly changing its launch direction.

A dazzling purple light pierced through the Ginga, and an unfortunate planet that happened to block its path was instantly destroyed, leaving not even a trace.

"You're burning your life... Aren't you afraid of dying?" Even the crazed Herrscher of Consciousness was terrified by his madness, and Black Xing, who had activated her life-burning mode, almost laughed herself to death upon hearing this.

"Ah, sorry, I've become acquainted with the King of Hell. I just go and say hello to him every time and then come back." This is what Xing, who had removed all her alternate accounts and was focusing on her two main accounts, said. She was already used to burning through her life.

St. Freya Academy —

Blood flowed from the girl's face, and countless tiny wounds suddenly appeared all over her body, rapidly worsening. White Dream collapsed like a doll being tortured and ravaged by her unscrupulous owner. Fortunately, Fu Hua and Su caught her in time and quickly checked her condition.

"I see, I understand the situation now." Kevin put down the Greatsword Heavenly Fire in his hand and walked straight to White Dream. The tall man and the petite girl faced each other like this, and before he could observe for three seconds, he was punched in the face.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Can't you see that Little Xing is about to collapse? Quickly transfer the energy to her!!!" Fu Hua, anxious and impatient, grabbed Kevin by the collar and practically shouted it out.

Pardo was so frightened that she hid behind Ying, trembling. It was the first time she had ever seen Hua Jie so angry.

My judgment was correct. Hua values her highly, and their auras are somewhat similar. Could it be...?

Before Kevin could come up with an answer, a strong hand gently patted his shoulder. Without even turning around, Kevin could feel two burning gazes piercing through his mask and hitting the back of his head.

[For her!!!]

The man's low growl was like that of a prehistoric beast, and even Kevin couldn't help but feel a chill. Before he could even think about why his fallen comrades had all appeared here at this time, his Chrono Chaos Father's increasingly anxious emotions materialized and were transmitted to him, reminding him of the time he was sent to the Mobius Laboratory for emergency treatment after eating Mei's cooking.

How could Kalpas possibly...?

Aponia approached and said, "Please entrust your power to this child named 'Sachi.' There is no need for any hesitation. No matter which future I foresee, Sachi Kaslana will choose to protect this world."

"...I see."

Note 1: Unless it is Kevin of the Finality, Otto the False God, or the Herrscher of Scorching Flame has fully unleashed his powers, no one below the Finality is confident that they can completely defeat the planetary-level Chiyou.

(The fully empowered Herrscher of Scorching Flame cannot defeat the first two, assuming neither side throws the match.)

Note 2: This is basically an ICU discussion. Except for Fu Hua, who was just healed by White Dream's life force, everyone else is at low health. Only Su and Kevin, who just ate the Chiyou combo, are in relatively good condition. The other Flame-Chasers have less than 10% of their strength remaining.

Note 3: And how do you fight that thing that's the size of the Earth...?

(What, you mean just let Ancestor Kevin unleash the full power of the Heavenly Fire?)

(Heh, do you think Black Xing's use of the massive Heavenly Fire Judgment, Heavenly Fire Unleashed with the full power of the Fusion Warrior and Herrscher, compares to the Ancestor? He still couldn't kill the Planetary Chiyou... Besides, it has to hit.)

"Indeed, her life force has been rapidly fading away, and the situation has reached an extremely critical point." Su removed her fingers from White Dream's wrist, marveling at the girl's noble spirit of self-sacrifice while also marveling at the immense vitality of her life.

After all, maintaining that protective shield around the Earth requires a huge amount of energy, not to mention that she also had her attention diverted to other things. Children of this era are truly remarkable.

(The order in which the engravings are lit is not important.)

Therefore, Su did not hesitate and chose to inject all his power into White Dream's body. At the same time, at the moment when Su recognized Xing in his heart, the mark representing [Heavenly Wisdom] reappeared on the dim dial halo behind White Dream.

"Little Xing, go for it. I will always be on your side. Even if we fail, I will accompany you to the ends of hell."

Fu Hua hugged her daughter tightly, kissed her forehead, and poured love and energy into her body, causing the [Fleeting Life] mark to light up.

"... Go forth, descendants of Kaslana. I have no intention of making you share this responsibility with me, but since you have chosen this path, I will give you all the help I can until we part ways."

Kevin lifted White Dream's hand, took the hilt of the Heavenly Fire Judgment sword, and placed it in her palm. The [Salvation] mark lit up.

"Hey, witch." Even at this moment, the impatient Kalpas spoke in a fierce tone. He pushed away the crying Fu Hua and almost pressed his face against White Dream's.

"... Remember to come back for dinner early, I've reheated it several times already."

The man's voice was softer than a mosquito's buzz, and the mark of "Decimation" lit up.

You little lab rat! Can't you see me? Do you even know how horrific the cruelty you've been inflicting on such a noble being?!

The enraged Mobius bit her calf, and the mark of [Infinity] lit up.

"Damn, this counts?" Mobius was so angry he questioned his very existence.

"Luming Lady... I haven't remembered anything yet, but through our time together, I, I, I... Griseo, could you please stop staring at me at times like this?"

Cosmo was used to having his own internal monologue, was just about to give a short speech on justice, but Griseo kept staring at him, and the boy's face turned so red that it could be used to cook instant noodles.

"Cosmo, I remember you used to rehearse your remarks for all sorts of scenarios, right? That last sentence shouldn't have been..."

"Stop!!!"

The mortal Cosmo covered Griseo's mouth in grief and indignation. Next time he brought this girl out, he should give her a bunch of snacks to shut her up!

The engravings for [Rising Sun] and [Stars] lit up simultaneously.

"Please, please use your own will to create the future. This has nothing to do with righteousness; it is simply a battle fought for your own desires."

With compassionate eyes half-closed and hands clasped together in front of her chest, Aponia offered her most sincere prayer, and the inscription of the Commandments lit up.

"Go for it, little cutie! Come play at my newly built Golden Ocean Park after this is over~"

Eden offered her blessings to the girl who resembled Elysia in a light and cheerful tone. She gently applied a band-aid to the crack on White Dream's face, soothing her pain, and the [Gold] mark lit up.

"I'm still a little confused, but I know exactly what I need to do. But I still want to thank you for saving not only my sister, but also me."

Sakura bowed to the Saintess, accepting the honor without hesitation, and the mark of [Moment] lit up.

"Go for it, Little Xing! Whether we can enjoy sunshine, take afternoon naps, and eat seafood feasts from now on depends on you! You absolutely, positively, must win!!!"

Pardo, without any backbone, threw herself onto White Dream, her eyes brimming with tears, and said to her, "Please, Little Xing, you absolutely can't lose! I know it's harsh to say this, but... but I don't want to die..."

The inscription for [Empty Dream] lit up.

"Well, even though I don't know anything, I'll still vote for you." Vill-V trembled as she looked at the gleaming kitchen knife in Kalpas's hand. "I... I think you should be a good person..."

The engraving of the spiral light up.

P. S.: This is the True Self Vill-V, yes, the one who's afraid of heights.

Twelve markings converged on the halo behind the Saintess, the power of twelve Flame-Chasers gathered in her body, and holy white light shone from her wounds, which healed rapidly.

White Dream stood up again, lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed to the Flame-Chasers who had helped her. Then she summoned her staff again, condensed a beam of light, and with her slender hands, she drew the bowstring, gathering a sword that represented hope.

In a daze, the girl in the eyes of the twelve Flame-Chasers seemed to have changed. She had long pink hair, a perfectly voluptuous body, and pointed ears like those of fairies in fairy tales.

She is the embodiment of all that is good in the world, named after Paradise, and her dream is to build a paradise that does not exist in legend.

Seemingly noticing their gaze, the girl turned around, blinked her crystal-clear eyes, and smiled at them.

(Imagine the scene where White Dream and Elysia's phantoms overlap here)

Reality and fantasy intertwined as the Saintess struggled to raise her arrow of light, aimed at the two colossal beasts locked in combat in space, and released the bowstring.

"Launch! The arrow of dreams and hope!"

The arrow pierced through the barrier protecting the Earth, hurtling into space like light, heading straight for the two planetary-level behemoths locked in battle.

"Damn it, the supply point for this dungeon is finally here!" Even General Xing was working overtime non-stop, wanted to complain at this moment. He quickly controlled the Fire Fang Barking Giant God to lock the planetary-level Chiyou and prevent it from moving.

When the Herrscher of Consciousness saw the arrow, which gathered the power of the twelve Flame-Chasers, shooting out from the earth, he was terrified. According to the anime's setting, this arrow must be a deadly shot by the main characters, who gathered the power of everyone. As long as he could dodge this arrow, he would win!

Therefore, the Herrscher of Consciousness disregarded the energy expenditure and desperately tried to break free from the obstruction of the Fire-Eating Fang Barking Giant God. He raised his hand and condensed a giant version of the Tai Xu Sword God, intending to counter the attack.

"Who's afraid of who?!" Black Xing also gathered energy to condense the Tai Xu Sword God. "Can you withstand my sword god that's hundreds of thousands of years old?!"

Oh, you're asking why we didn't use it in the first place?

Ha, is this some kind of trump card?

The two swords clashed, and the powerful aftershocks swept across all the nearby celestial bodies once again. Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, the sharp-eyed Herrscher of Consciousness suddenly realized that, based on their current positions, it seemed that the other side would be hit.

Hehe, this is what they call "the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple," meaning family members fighting each other! Those Herrscher of Consciousness think to themselves with satisfaction.

Bang!!!

The beam of light struck the Fire Fang Ragdoll Colossus with perfect accuracy, and before the Herrscher of Consciousness could even rejoice, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the opponent.

"Awesome!" Black Xing in the cockpit took a big bite of a chocolate bar, swept away his hunger and became himself again. He once again gathered a huge heavenly fire and slashed at the planetary Chiyou. The divine halo behind him also shone brightly, echoing the divine halo behind White Dream on Earth.

However, both lack the core strength of the central government.

"Hahhhhh!" The planetary-level Chiyou also unleashed his fury, wielding a massive sword box and engaging in another fierce battle with the Fire-Eating Fang Barbarian Giant God. Their swords clashed incessantly, and the clash between their bodies and minds never ceased.

"How long can those old guys' energy sustain you? Even Flame-Chasers is just a consumable unit when it comes to wielding a body of this level! This has been an endurance race from the start, and you are destined to lose!"

Note: The energy consumption of the planetary-level Chiyou comes from the creatures it devoured in countless worlds, as well as the countless bodies of Fu Hua stored by the Herrscher of Consciousness.

Within the world of consciousness, the Herrscher of Consciousness and Black Xing engaged in a primal hand-to-hand combat, exchanging punches and kicks in a lively exchange. The Herrscher of Consciousness attempted to deliver a psychological blow with words, but little did she know that when it came to reasoning, this guy was far Shenzhou to her.

"Hmph, an endurance race? You're making me wide awake now." Black Xing's eyes gleamed with excitement as he flipped over and pinned the Herrscher of Consciousness to the ground. "Anyway, this is the world of consciousness, so feel free to come and go as you please! I won't hold back!"

"That's insane!!!"

The moment she recalled the time-stop play from before, the Herrscher of Consciousness was so frightened that she was in a daze and disconnected her consciousness without daring to pause for even a second.

Black Xing's hand holding the calligraphy brush froze on the spot. "I just wanted to play a game of chess on your face. What are you thinking, girl?"

PS: Luming Lady was quite disgusted when she kissed Mom Hua before.

"You can't beat me. You not only have to deal with my attacks, but also be careful not to affect the Earth. Once a person has something to protect—" The Herrscher of Consciousness shattered the Fire Fang Barking Colossus with a single sword strike and unleashed a Tai Xu Sword God towards the Earth, which was as small as dust in the distance.

The black and red sword energy rose in the Beast God's hand, but then collapsed with a bang. Seeing this, Black Xing had no choice but to grit his teeth and face the Tai Xu Sword God head-on.

The boy's eyes were clear and bright, and at this moment, his mind was empty of all distractions.

"Use your heart as a sheath."

"With God, transform into a sword."

Nourish your spirit with your vital energy.

"Break sword with sword!"

True Tai Xu Sword God!!!

The Beast God used his hand as a sword, pouring all his strength into slashing at the tip of the Sword God's sword. At the moment the two touched, it was as if a crucial point was interrupted, and the enormous Sword God collapsed with a roar.

A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole. No matter how powerful something is, it will have its weaknesses, or as the saying goes, its "flaws".

The Sword God was no exception.

What? You're saying the Sword God is a creation with extremely precise control over Honkai Energy, without any flaws?

Go away and play somewhere else. Did you ever have a high school politics class? Don't you know that truth is relative?

After the Sword God's attack was dispelled, Black Xing's condition was also extremely poor, but he still controlled the Fire Fang Barking Giant God to meet the challenge head-on, because the Herrscher of Consciousness did not give him any time to rest and followed closely behind the Sword God.

The powerful and equally formidable attacks rained down on the Fire Fang Giant, gradually turning its initial ease into a struggle to withstand them. Finally, the two began to clash, and the Fire Fang Giant, unable to hold on, retreated repeatedly until it crashed into the barrier surrounding Earth.

"Waaah..."

Black Xing and White Dream both let out a mournful cry. The two were originally one, and their bodies were controlled by the same consciousness, so they could feel each other's pain at this moment.

Seeing that the opponent was finally showing signs of weakness, the Herrscher of Consciousness triumphantly increased his output. The immense pressure weighed on Xing's shoulders. He kept increasing his output, but it was all pushed back. The barrier gradually could not withstand the pressure and began to break.

"... Is that the only way?"

White Dream lowered her head, preparing for one last gamble. Just as she was about to take flight, Fu Hua grabbed her.

"If you want another explosion, I'll go with you."

"... The Shenzhou cannot be without immortals; you must live."

"To hell with being an immortal." Fu Hua calmly uttered a curse. "So what if I quit?"

White Dream was stunned for a moment, blinked in disbelief, and gave a few bitter laughs.

Idiot, couldn't you have said that sooner?

"Sigh, that's why Tsundere, or rather, having low emotional intelligence, can ruin your life."

Black Xing patted his head wearily, "I wonder how Kiana and the others are doing. I've done all I can, it would be too useless to lose if I still can't win."

When she finds herself in danger, Yu often thinks of Kiana and the others, wondering if they returned safely from their mission, if they had argued, how their meals were, and if they had encountered any danger...

It's really strange. He's usually not worried much, but now he's starting to fret.

"Sigh, those who call others Tsundere will eventually become Tsundere. I'm really not being honest." The boy shook his head, just as he was preparing for one last gamble, when a hand suddenly patted his shoulder from behind.

The boy froze. Who was this? This was a world he had conceived in his mind; logically, no one should be able to enter.

"Ding-dong~ Guess who I am? There's a prize for the correct answer~♪" A pair of hands covered his eyes, and without thinking, Black Xing raised his hand and slapped it back, hitting the girl right in the face.

"What kind of time is this to be acting silly?!" Enraged, Black Xing pinned Kiana to the ground and gave her a good beating. "What are you doing here? Can't you see I'm busy?!"

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't hit your sister's face... Why are you hitting my butt?!"

Some time ago, at the White Bugster Tavern—

"Very good. You did not disappoint me or them. Well done, Kiana Kaslana."

Seeing that Kiana had predictably suppressed the Herrscher of Void's consciousness and taken control of her powers, KK clapped his hands in satisfaction, then tapped his fingers a few times in the air. "Remote energy transfer, begin. Sorry, due to the so-called 'rules,' I can't intervene directly, but I can still offer some assistance."

"Hey, can you hear me?" KK pulled out the megaphone he'd gotten from Aixie, tested the sound, and coughed a few times. "Righteous Earthlings, those who can still hear, please raise your hands and transfer your energy to Sin Kaslana. Repeat, raise your hands and transfer your energy to Sin Kaslana... Ah, she's the same person as your beloved Luming Lady."

Don't worry, I'll use my White Bugster Tavern privileges to delete everyone's memories of this incident afterward. You're welcome.

Fearing being called a terrible teammate, KK sent him a message in the group chat beforehand, but he was busy fighting and activating his shield and didn't have time to check the messages in the archives.

PS: This is the Divine Messenger Department of the Honkai Branch World, and does not count as the Archives' involvement.

(Ah, please imagine the style of a Martian master below.)

(Also, listening to "Uchiage Hanabi" with headphones while eating will enhance the experience~)

Schicksal—

Otto pondered for a moment, then let the sweating Theresa go. He then made up an excuse and gave an impromptu speech, leading all the Valkyrie of Schicksal to raise their hands and offer their energy... no, I mean Honkai Energy.

"Please, Xing!"

The Valkyrie from St. Freya unanimously contributed their power without the slightest hesitation.

Although Sachi spends most of her time out having fun, that boy could never be a bad person!

What bad person would smile shyly when praised, show a happy expression when given food, or patiently listen to every question before explaining in detail?

And, and, and—

What bad guy would risk his life to save you?!

Anti-Entropy —

"What are you looking at? We have a mecha!"

"Dr. Tesla, the mechs have souls too. Look, they've raised their hands on their own."

"Isn't this just a simple electric shock? How can you make it sound so touching?"

Despite their complaints, the two PhDs still encouraged their employees to raise their arms and contribute their share.

World Serpent —

"May our future lord, Luming Lady, be protected!"

The crazy fan, dressed as Gray Serpent with a headscarf that read "Luming Lady is the best," raised her arms and shouted. A bunch of Gray Serpent in the audience held up Luming's support signs and did not forget to notify other companions around the world to contribute their share.

Note: When White Dream negotiated with Gray Serpent, she hacked Gray Serpent's network using the Key of Erosion and the Key of Consciousness. Her main purpose was to recruit high-level combatants, and whether Gray Serpent agreed or not was not important.

The Raven and the Jackal sat down against the wall outside the window, their whole being transformed into a black and white painting. Am I going crazy, or has the world gone crazy?

Shi An Forest —

Due to a crisis on Earth, Gao Phoenix was forced to come out of retirement. Several divine flames dispelled the large area of dark clouds above the forest, and then, at Chi Yu's instruction, flew into space.

After all, this time the Earth's environment is seriously threatened, and they can't ignore it.

(Not counting the Chiyou set that was thrown into the ocean by the Herrscher of Consciousness, the simultaneous Honkai of Honkai around the world is serious enough.)

At the St. Freya Academy, led by the Crimson Kite's Wings, the Crimson Kite Bird raised their little chicken wings in perfect unison, and wisps of energy floated out from their bodies and flew into the sky.

The mother and daughter pandas exchanged a glance. Guotie the mother panda, Huanhuan, aside with a paw, raised its forelegs, and roared to the sky, "We bear-people will never be slaves! Unless you provide food and lodging! Don't lose, long-term meal ticket, oh wait, master!!!"

In Changkong City, which had been saved by Xing several times and was the first city to be liberated, Little Kong excitedly raised his arms high, and the other conscious people followed suit, returning their kindness to the boy named Xing.

Although they were unaware that the child had saved them many times.

In the Luming's Courtyard, Little Te, Little Xuan, Ai-chan, and Xiao Yue all raised their two little hands in unison, then all of them ran out of power, shut down, and collapsed to the ground.

Before shutting down, Little Te gave a confused look. I knew this would happen, but why did I still do it? No matter what, we absolutely have to win, Little Xing.

You promised me you'd give me a new dress after Christmas.

In the Golden Ocean Park, two white kittens struggled to stand up on their hind legs and raised their front paws to the sky. The other cats on Cat Island were inspired and followed suit.

In Sky Dome City, police officers maintaining order at the disaster relief site, firefighters carrying out fire and disaster relief work, drivers transporting supplies, and idols comforting the victims... everyone contributed their share.

Meow~

A stray animal care facility miraculously survived the catastrophe, and a healthy little cat emerged from it, leisurely licking its paws.

Bang!

The sign seemed to have been affected and its stability was compromised; it suddenly fell down, nearly hitting the kitten. The frightened cat hurriedly ran back to the care facility, where the sign clearly displayed the following words:

Luming's lovely little nest~❤

—Well... how should I put it? Only those who have carefully read this book can truly understand the meaning of the passage above!—

(The following is "Cradle of Eternity," thank you~)

"Let's go! This is the combined strength of our entire Fire-Chasing Squad!"

Kiana's figure vanished like a bubble, but her voice still echoed in Black Xing's ears—no, Xing's ears.

"Once again, let us take up the weapon called [Bond]!"

Countless points of light emerged from the earth, all flying towards the exhausted Firefang Barbarian Colossus, carrying the blessings of everyone.

Everyone's words rang in her ears, but she only felt a sting in her nose and some warm liquid flowed down her cheeks.

Even after experiencing countless hardships, looking back, he is still that boy who can be moved by stories.

"What can we do with the power of those insects?!"

The Herrscher of Consciousness increased her output once again, but this time, she was destined to fail.

(Ah, this cliché plot... I ended up writing the kind of story I hate. Oh well, did you guys enjoy reading it?)

Two pure white wings, like those of an angel, emerged from behind the giant god. It slowly raised its hands, its entire body radiating dazzling golden light.

Even insects, no matter how small, can defeat a powerful opponent when they come together!

"This is the existence you're willing to risk your life to protect? You should know how wicked they are!"

Both of them unleashed their power simultaneously, with their opposite eyes flashing in contrasting colors. Black Xing controlled the Fire Fang Giant God to push the light wave back head-on, while White Dream began a new charge-up on the ground.

"Humans are afraid, they may run away, but they can also reunite when faced with unknown threats, unite to plan and defeat powerful enemies. That's human nature!"

White Dream launched into a righteous verbal attack, her holy aura spreading from the St. Freya Academy to the Shenzhou, and then to the entire continent, yet it failed to cover the whole world.

"Because we can't fly like birds, we created airplanes; because we can't dive like fish, we created submarines; because we can't run like horses, we invented cars!"

"We have been defeated time and time again, but we have never given up! Instead, we have evolved time and time again. Nothing can completely defeat us!"

Under the blessing of the Saintess, the zombies returned to normal, wondering why they were lying haphazardly in the street. At the same time, the output of luck showed a downward trend, but not by much.

"That's just sophistry! Human nature is inherently evil; that's a flaw you can't deny!"

"Of course! ×2"

Luming fired a beam of light, replenishing Black Xing's energy for the last time. At the same time, she herself dissipated and floated into the beam of light, both of which were then injected into the Fire Fang Great God.

The space of consciousness shifted, and on an ancient altar, the two individuals, [Black] and [White], plunged their longswords into the stone platform before them, then placed their hands on the hilts.

The six Herrscher Core— Reason, Void, Lightning, Wind, Death, and Flame—are all located within his body. Combined with his own Fiery Core, the seven Herrscher Core provide energy for this planetary-level behemoth.

"Arrow - Confirm! ×2"

A dual male and female voice rang out, a blend of ethereal grace and arrogant arrogance. A massive, interwoven red and blue connection appeared between the Fiery Fang Barking Colossus and the Planetary Chiyou. The Herrscher of Consciousness attempted to destroy it, but could not inflict even the slightest damage. In the dazzling light, only the high-speed chanting of "Xing" could be seen—

"Unleash your surging emotions at this moment, pour out all your thoughts, and let the world hear your voice! Full Link Summon!"

"I will place my friends, family, lovers, teachers, and admirers—along with myself and this Great Titan of the Fire Fang—into the link marker!"

Eight streams of light of different colors disappeared into the space, filling all the empty spaces in the connection markers.

"Rewrite history, inscribe the Stars, all things tremble, memorize its form! Now manifest! Link 8! Max Fire-Chasing Beast God!"

That's right. Having completely broken free from the shackles of fighting beasts, the mecha born at this moment belongs to the soon-to-be-established Fire Chasers.

Its appearance has not changed significantly; it has become the golden Fire Fang Raggito, but the aura of the Fire-Chasing Beast God has clearly increased by more than one level.

"Who... who are you?!" Trembling at the power of the Fire-Chasing Beast God, the Herrscher of Consciousness felt a pressure on her soul even before the battle began, and asked unwillingly.

"I am Happiness, the Happiness that represents [destruction]." (Black Xing)

"I am Xing, Xing representing [protection]." (White Dream)

"I am Sachi, Sachi who has matured through growth." (Black Xing)

"I am happiness, born from fantasy, happiness that holds beauty in my heart." (White Dream)

"I am Sachi, Sachi who is arrogant and unrestrained by external constraints." (Black Xing)

"I am Happiness, I love all things, and I want to save all happiness." (White Dream)

"I am Sachi, Sachi incarnate of malice." (Black Xing)

"I am Xing, Xing is the embodiment of kindness." (White Dream)

Within the illusory space, the two figures gradually Polymerization, and the light and arrogant voices also gradually combined, until only a voice, youthful yet mature, remained, speaking alone:

"We are happiness, complete happiness. The two are one, good and evil are separate, this is the purest [human being], this is—the [True Self]!!!" (Happiness)

Black and white divine rings appeared simultaneously behind the Fire-Chasing Beast God, the hands spun rapidly, and the most crucial engraving gradually appeared in the center of the blank dial.

A simulated black hole appeared behind the planetary-level Chiyou, its immense gravity rendering him immobile. The Fire-Chasing Beast God, expending enormous energy, raised his right hand, and a giant sword materialized out of thin air. But this time, it was no longer the familiar Heavenly Fire Judgment, but a completely new weapon.

"It is pointless to dwell on the past, and it is a waste of time to dream about the future. Only the present is truly precious."

"Besides, you're wrong about one thing. I'm not fighting to protect humanity. I'm not that noble; on the contrary, I'm quite lowly. I only choose to fight so that I can have ice cream and bread to eat, Yugi to play, girls to sleep with, people to beat up, trustworthy friends to confide in, and a warm home to return to in the future."

Max Fire-Chasing Beast God raised the Fire-Chasing Holy Sword (the name is rather casual) and delivered the final blow to the planetary-level Chiyou.

The enormous body was thus split in two and eventually burned to ashes.

—It's not over yet, the important part is coming up!—

"Ha, ha..." The Herrscher of Consciousness, covered in wounds, knelt on the ground. The white-haired, red-and-blue heterochromatic-eyed Xing Ru landed slowly like a god, the sword tip pointing directly at her neck. "This is your last body. You have nowhere to escape, Herrscher of Consciousness. You have lost."

"Ha, ha, yes, I lost, you won." The Herrscher of Consciousness gave up resisting, but then revealed a mocking smile. "Hey, those people couldn't easily regain their consciousness, right? Of course, their bodies were all corrupted to some extent by my Honkai Energy. If you have that much power, why don't you turn everyone in the world back? Oh, and remember to repair the environment while you're at it, since I've damaged it quite a bit too... Haha, hahahahaha!!!"

Fortunately, there was no wasted words; he cleanly and decisively beheaded her, ending her life.

"That's right. As things stand, she lost, and I didn't win either."

The boy scratched his head, looked at the beach that served as the starting battlefield, sighed silently, and turned his gaze to an unknown direction.

"Don't worry, according to the novel's plot, I will definitely resolve all of this perfectly, probably? Heh, if I were really a character in a novel, I hope the author won't give me a bad ending, and it would be best to leave an open ending."

Noticing the people rapidly approaching from afar, Sukiyaki was in excruciating pain. She summoned the Black Abyss White Flower, planted it on the beach, cut her wrist, let the blood flow, and slowly closed her eyes.

Note: Here, Xing is unaware that he has the ability to resurrect.

I am both the black that destroys everything and the white that protects everything. At this moment, I am willing to use my own life as a starting point to begin everything anew.

Black Abyss White Flower - Xth Extra Power Overlimit Release - The Saintess and the Demon King's Joint Journey

The boy's body turned into specks of light and disappeared, merging into the planet.

Look, what a magnificent miracle that is... Why do I say "again"?

The once dark and foul-smelling sea has returned to its clear state, the deforestation has been restored to life, the sky riddled with holes has regained its former tranquility, the dead have been reawakened, and the night sky is once again dotted with Stars.

People around the world who had become Honkai zombie or Honkai all reverted to their original forms, and even had unknown red patterns appear on their bodies.

However, the price of all this is...

Fifty thousand years ago, a Herrscher loved humanity sacrificed himself, bringing a glimmer of hope to the world fifty thousand years later. Now, following Joyce, another Herrscher has sacrificed himself...

Okay?

—Warning: High-energy content ahead! The true Herrscher of Scorching Flame, in its complete form, has arrived!!!—

(Please play "TruE" in your headphones, thank you.)

The boy's soul wandered amidst a sea of flowers.

The land was covered in pink and purple flowers, and he was almost mesmerized by the beautiful scenery.

But if you stop, you can't move forward.

So the boy chased after the distant flame and continued his journey through the sea of flowers.

Let the songs that no one sings be sung again.

History, though buried in dust, will eventually see the light of day again. Those unsung heroes who silently dedicated themselves to humanity are destined to be remembered.

So, I'm back.

"Come, let us celebrate the birth of yet another Herrscher who fights for humanity! He is a pure being, embodying black and white, good and evil, light and darkness! His name is the Herrscher of Scorching Flame —Xu!!!"

The final imprint, [True Self], finally lit up.

The two divine halos, one black and one white, spun rapidly, allowing Xing to experience those two powerful energies once again.

Ultimate Transformation of Power: The Origin Herrscher

Ultimate Transformation of Power: The Herrscher of Finality

As the divine rings gradually Polymerization, a new pattern emerged on the brand-new divine rings—

Power Convergence: Herrscher of Scorching Flame

Time stands still at this moment.

Trees, flowers, pedestrians... everything flows backwards at high speed according to its trajectory, until it returns to the second before the disaster occurred.

However, some things did not change even if time were reversed.

Author's Note—

This chapter has finally reached 20,000 words...

The Movie Version is finally over! I never imagined it would take so long!

Ahem, unlike Mei, Sachi did not gain recognition by passing the trials of the Flame-Chasers, but rather by constantly acquiring their qualities during his own journey. The appearance of Flame-Chasers Luming was precisely to help Sachi complete the parts he lacked.

Oh, right, this volume will officially end after this chapter.

With this chapter as a watershed, this book officially leaves the initial stage and moves into a longer intermediate stage!

Stay tuned!

Ahem, what are your thoughts on this chapter?
