A Brand-New Beginning

In the silent Aether Sea, a young girl slept, her long white hair radiating a cobalt blue light, divided into two pairs of twin tails, one large and one small, also known as quad ponytails.

The girl's clothing was quite peculiar, possessing a touch of eroticism while simultaneously conveying an inviolable sense of sacredness, making her appear like a goddess.

Its name is Stardust Zero.

She is the origin of everything in the five dimensions, the guardian deity of Earth in another Branch World, and also Nature Goddess.

(This is how Zero is referred to in the official Five Dimensions' "Elegy for Crossing the Bridge".)

—The Silly Loli changed the titles of these three volumes. She originally wanted to do something big in this volume, but after carefully reviewing the outline, she made a small change at the last minute. In short... the series of razor blades has been postponed. Aren't you happy?—

(Perhaps?)

Timeframe: Early 2015, just before the Lunar New Year;

A pivotal moment in human history: The first year of the new Honkai.

"Ha~"

The boy woke up from his dream, looked at the warm sunshine outside the window, yawned deeply, then lay down and hugged his Theresa- style chubby pillow to go back to sleep.

Wait a minute, something feels off about the feel of it?

Fortunately, she opened her eyes and carefully observed the white-haired little girl in her arms. Strangely, judging from her appearance, she was her Silly Mom.

Wait a minute, could this subtle sense of incongruity be...?

He carefully parted her eyelids, revealing a red eye.

The case is solved; it was his little darling under the Luna. And what about the Silly Mom?

A small head poked out from the edge of the bed. The white-haired dwarf was fast asleep on the floor. Seeing this, he helplessly covered his forehead, raised his finger, and the sleeping Theresa was lifted onto the bed by some invisible force, and then pulled over by him.

The little boy happily cuddled one in each arm, hehe, they're all my wings~

What? I, General Xing, have been playing dungeons for so long, can't I even enjoy myself for a bit?

"Little Xing, shouldn't we..." Fu Hua timidly opened the door a crack, saw that her child was sleeping soundly, and decisively closed the door without even thinking about why there were two white-haired dwarfs.

—Time and spacetime were reset, but Mom Hua was traumatized by her daughter's kiss; it was just too stimulating, it practically destroyed her CPU—

"Auntie! Look! I have Stigmata!"

At breakfast time, Kiana excitedly showed Theresa the bright Stigmata on the back of her hand, but Theresa just calmly said "Oh" and then snatched a sandwich from Luna.

While leisurely eating, the young boy exchanged flirtatious glances with his two loli girlfriends, then looked at Kiana, shook his head, forked a piece of sausage, waved it in front of the drooling Jilin, and then put it in his own mouth.

Just as Jilin was about to cry, her mouth was suddenly stuffed full of hot sausage. The girl blinked a few times in a daze, not realizing when she had been fed. However, foodies never think too much in front of delicious food, and she happily ate it.

"Hey, Auntie, what's with that reaction? I have Stigmata now!" Kiana was furious at Theresa's calm reaction and said angrily.

"Is this thing so rare?" Theresa pulled open her collar, letting Kiana see the Stigmata on her chest, and was immediately Kiana.

"You have your period too? Why did you keep it a secret all this time?"

"No, it suddenly appeared a few days ago." Theresa shook her head, gave Mei a look, and the girls nodded knowingly. They pulled open their clothes and were immediately Kiana.

Aside from Mei, who is a natural Stigmata bearer, the sisters Wendy, Bronya, and Arlene have all awakened Stigmata without exception! And there are even two of them, Bronya and Wendy!

"(Tsk, those two idiots, why are they showing that part of themselves? Didn't they see I didn't show mine?)" Sensing something was wrong, Grandma Xing fully demonstrated the professional qualities she had developed under Rita's maid training. She had long since shed her fierce aura, and her purple hair had grown to her waist. Under St. Freya's excellent food and meticulous care, her boyishly thin figure had begun to improve.

PS: Although she works as a maid, Anzu is treated very well. However, she is "tortured" by the orphanage staff every day because she was so crazy before.

That's why the orphanage's nutrition wasn't all reserved for Seele!

Xing gathered all her strength, and a gray-white domain expanded from her center, freezing everything in the world.

Time Stop

This is a world unique to An, who possesses time-related abilities. It is her most formidable trump card. Although it rapidly depletes her stamina, allowing her to pause for only a few seconds, it is still enough to turn the tide of battle!

Ah, except for that one named Xing, damn it, not only does she have a thick health bar, but her armor is also thick, how am I supposed to fight her?

PS: After being captured, An attempted assassination, but her mind was controlled by the Familiar Stigmata planted by Yin, oops, Sachi, making it impossible for her to carry out the task. She did try it during her first battle with Sachi, but it was ineffective... she couldn't pierce Sachi's skull.

The maid quickly prepared to help her foolish sister and Wendy with their clothes, but as soon as she got to their side, she saw that in this black and white world, there was a second colorful being active besides her.

"Oh, you're quite self-aware. I'm sorry, those two have been 'asserting their dominance' lately, it's been a hassle for you. Go back and ask Rita to give you a raise."

Xing gently touched Xing's forehead with her finger. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting in her original seat, and the world had returned to its color. Everyone was talking as before, while Xing's back was soaked with cold sweat.

Wasn't this guy unable to move during my time stop before? Could it be that he's been faking it all along?

Note: Having connected with the Power of Finality, I have fortunately gained initial resistance to time-related abilities.

"There have been a lot of Stigmata awakenings lately. Whether it's Valkyrie or ordinary people, it's nothing new. Everyone has it now." Theresa waved her hand, looking exhausted. She didn't know why everyone suddenly had Stigmata awakenings, and everyone had different superpowers, causing a huge social upheaval. Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were forced to reveal the existence of Honkai ahead of schedule. At the same time, they reached a rare cooperation in a certain area to jointly maintain the order that was fluctuating due to the global Stigmata.

P. S.: Cooperation was an inevitable trend, but fortunately, someone intervened behind the scenes to speed up the process.

Once ordinary people gain immense power, they find it difficult to suppress their inner evil thoughts. This has led to large-scale riots occurring around the world. Fortunately, the combined efforts of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are putting an end to these unrest.

The boy jumped off the chair and patted the dazed-looking Kiana. "See? I told you so, right? Soon even Herrscher won't be a rarity, believe it or not?"

"Why did this happen..." Kiana lay on the table with a long face, feeling as happy as she was when she discovered that she had awakened her Stigmata.

It's like you finally manage to grind and spend money to get a powerful weapon, only to have the official announcement that it's given away to all players on the server as an anniversary gift.

"Isn't this a good thing? Although it caused a lot of problems, it is beneficial for humanity to better fight against the Honkai. Moreover, the power of the original natural Stigmata bearers has also been increased, and Little Xing's injuries have been healed as a result, which is why she chose to stay at the St. Freya Academy... Hey, where did Little Xing go?" After comforting her niece, the Silly Mom belatedly realized that her son was missing.

"Let's go! Music!"

In the grand square of St. Freya, the young boy deftly slipped a pair of cool sunglasses onto his face, then struck a flamboyant pose at the front. Next to him, Little Xuan turned on the speakers, and upbeat music blared. Xing led the Valkyrie in the back row in a lively street dance, creating a vibrant and cheerful atmosphere that filled the air above St. Freya. Valkyrie were watching or passing by joined the dance, until—

(Imagine Xing Zi performing Michael Jackson's classic robot dance)

"What... what are you all doing?! School rules prohibit large-scale... uhhhhh!"

"Rules are meant to be broken. At worst, I'll just tell Theresa to change this school rule!"

Attracted by the grand spectacle of the street dance group, Mom Hua happened to see her son dancing. The dance, which clearly exceeded her outdated aesthetic standards, was unacceptable to Fu Hua. She was about to storm in front of her son to turn off the speakers and give him a good talking-to when Fu Hua suddenly switched to her true Red Adult Form and pulled her in, making her dance along with him.

"Don't spoil the fun, come on baby~"

"Ah, ah, ah?"

Pulled in unexpectedly Mom Hua blankly followed her son's movements, while the Valkyrie behind her nearly died laughing at their usually stern class monitor now striking comical poses like a puppet. The atmosphere of laughter intensified.

Afterwards--

In Xing's private room, Fu's mother, forced to take off her androgynous clothes and put on the cheongsam skin "Qingyan Huayu" that her Mom Hua especially loved, knelt on a soft cushion like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded. Dan Zhu, dressed in a teacher's uniform, hit her on the head with a ruler with a look of disappointment, "Hua, you have disappointed us too much!"

"Exactly." Sitting on the sofa, letting the boy enjoy the double service of a lap pillow and ear cleaning, Cang Xuan said in a calm tone, "Do you know how heartbroken we were when we saw your terrible performance in Little Xing's Stigmata Space? How easy was Little Xing's strategy originally? But you managed to turn a strategy Yugi that was supposed to have a happy ending into a side quest that could lead to a total annihilation ending. I have to say, you really are a genius..."

"Agreed, my emotional intelligence is much higher than his." Jilin, who was eating watermelon nearby, added, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt as he looked at his former comrade. "As a parent, you're such a failure. Can't you be more understanding of your child?"

Pfft! Fu Hua had been hit by several arrows in the back, spat out a mouthful of blood. I'm so sorry!

Oh my god, the immortal was in utter despair. Originally, it should have been a happy thing for her to see her deceased friends reappear before her eyes, but when she learned that these three guys had actually been watching the live stream in her own child's Stigmata Space, she almost fainted.

After all, Fu Hua was well aware of her own performance.

"Come on! Little Xing said he'll forgive you if you read everything on this!" Dan Zhu waved her little hand, slamming a board in front of Fu Hua. The immortal glanced at it briefly, then his cheeks burned. "This, this, this is way too cheesy..."

"You Crimson Kite!!! ×3" The three members of Shenzhou shouted at her in unison, "We just chose a very common template for parents to apologize to their children for you to read, okay!"

Thud! The immortal was struck by another arrow in the back, collapsing to the ground and silently shedding tears. I guess I'm still just too incompetent...

"Let it go." Xing opened her eyes and glanced at Fu Hua indifferently. "We can't force people to do things they don't want to do. Since she's unwilling, let it go."

"Wait, wait a minute, I, I can do it..." Seemingly seeing a hint of disappointment in the child's eyes, Fu Hua suppressed all the distracting thoughts in her mind and steeled herself to read aloud.

"You need to get your attitude right!" Cang Xuan criticized. "Don't read it in such a disjointed way, like you're reciting an ancient poem!"

"Your expression needs to be on point too!" Dan Zhu said sternly. "Is that mask of pain on your face because you just lost a hundred million?"

"Hmm, I... I don't think I have anything to say..." Jilin felt a bit of a headache, realizing that she couldn't find anything else to criticize. "But shouldn't we get closer to Little Xing?"

So, in the end, it turned into Mom Hua telling her child a bedtime story.

——Divider——

Ugh, I'm exhausted.

This was Fu Hua's truest thought after it was finally over.

Wait, something's not right. What was I originally planning to do?

——Divider——

The power of the Herrscher of Scorching Flame far exceeded Xing's imagination.

He originally thought that using the authority of the twelve Herrscher was the limit, and that being able to borrow the Power of Finality was already quite remarkable.

Unexpectedly, with the added boost of the War of Salvation and the collective approval of the resolution by the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, the Herrscher of Scorching Flame, now fully empowered, was able to reset time and space to some extent according to her own ideas.

In some respects, he is now in no way weaker than the Herrscher of Finality of this world.

Therefore, while adjusting the world back to the state it was before the disaster, he preserved some of the changes he had made, such as completing the Stigmata genes in all of humanity, thus ushering in an era of universal Stigmata on Earth.

The battle itself did not disappear; it was simply erased during the reset. Those people did participate in the battle, but their memories of it are now blurred.

As for himself...

"Heh, it's not so easy to coordinate the powers of [Black] and [White] at the same time, but it's enough to deal with some small geese and insects." The boy strolled leisurely in the forest, while simultaneously multitasking by controlling Luming's body on the other side to rub Kalpas's back.

Ah, yes, you read that right!

Morning--

The family was enjoying their breakfast when, as they ate, Luming suddenly smelled a foul odor. After sniffing around, she finally identified the Brother Jie.

Note: Maintaining dual-open mode, Xing's philosophy is to have it all.

"Brother Jie, go take a shower! Give me a good, thorough wash!"

"Ha, why should I listen to you?"

Luming silently took out her suitcase, packed her things, and walked towards the door...

"Stop! Stop! Get back here! I'll wash, okay?!"

So, Luming Lady watched with embarrassment as Brother Jie brought over a huge bottle of disinfectant and then plunged into it.

"Kane, Ah Mo! Get him out of the water! That's not how you bathe someone, you know!!!"

A while later, Kalpas, who had been pulled from the disinfectant, was forcibly dragged into the bathroom by Luming. A silence followed, and just as Kane hesitated whether to go in and check what was happening, a pig-like scream erupted from inside—

"Awooo! You witch, you better be gentle... Awooo!!!"

The usually fierce Kalpas was actually letting out such a scream, which terrified the two children. Cosmo quickly led Griseo away, while Kane remained standing there trembling. No wonder he was Luming; he felt like he was in for a rough time...

That day, Kalpas finally discovered the second woman in his life, besides Aponia, whom he feared most.

In the bathroom, Luming Lady disgustedly rinsed the man with the showerhead while putting on a scrubbing mitt to clean the grime off his body. "Hey Brother Jie, the expansion project has been tough lately, but you should also pay attention to your personal hygiene. You stink..."

The usually hot-tempered guy had never suffered such humiliation, but bound by Judah, he couldn't move and could only let the girl touch him. "You motherfucking witch, let me go... Ugh!"

"So noisy!" Unable to bear it any longer, Luming grabbed a towel and stuffed it into his mouth, then quickly scrubbed his back. "Tsk, this is so hard to wash. Brother Jie, I was just trying to help you out, and you don't appreciate it, but you can't yell at me like that, can you?"

Kalpas wanted to cry.

"However, I wouldn't mind doing even more, after all—" The girl recalled the moments they had shared, and smiled sweetly at the sulking man, "Thank you for taking such good care of me, Brother Jie. Can we continue this relationship, my dear old father?"

"Awoooooo!!!"

Suddenly, the man's body shone with golden light, and a surging wave of energy burst through the roof and soared into the sky. With a burst of strength from who knows where, he snapped the chains and, to the astonished gaze of Luming Lady, leaped out of the bathtub, let out a long cry, and his black hair stood on end, turning into a majestic gold.

Super Honkai Person 1 - Transformation!!!

"Wow, it's huge..."

A bath towel fluttered down from between the man's legs, and Luming Lady, her face slightly flushed, said this.

"Brother Jie! Calm down, Jie-ge! Don't castrate yourself!"

(Hmm, does this feel like it's ruining the character of the Brother Jie?)

—A few days later—

"Hmm, I was planning to escape during this time, but the situation outside seems to be a bit chaotic..."

Vill-V listlessly tinkered with weapons in the terrorists' arms workshop. She could destroy the base in a minute, but a few clueless guys had their eyes on her body, which she couldn't tolerate.

"Didn't I equip all the weapons I gave them with self-destruct devices? How come they've been using them all this time without any problems?"

Completely baffled, Vill-V continued with her work, but suddenly heard a loud bang.

The girl, dressed like Magical Girl from an anime, easily charmed a large group of people. They launched fireballs that blasted through walls and swam to her like fish.

"Hi~ Luming's Courtyard is currently looking for tenants. Are you interested in moving in?"

Soon after—

"Hi~ Luming's Courtyard..."

"I'm checking in."

The nurse grabbed Luming Lady, who wanted to apply the patch, and answered the question in the process.

A moment later, Aponia watched with a twitching mouth as Luming Lady, who had run to the hospital director and thrown a wad of cash at his face, bought the hospital on the spot and brazenly abducted him, couldn't help but question the meaning of life.

Is this really the Saintess I saw in the future...?

After a while—

"Brother Jie! I have two new friends who want to check in..."

Luming Lady excitedly pulled the newly brought-back, or rather, newly-brought-back, Vill-V into the house. Qian Jie didn't react Kalpas, but silently pulled a hoe from the storage room and kicked the bewildered Vill-V into the vegetable garden.

"This is your task upon arrival: you're not allowed to eat until you finish plowing this field!"

Watching Brother Jie personally supervise and prevent Vill-V from using any black technology, Luming couldn't help but admire Brother Jie's ability to hold a grudge. Even though his memory was so blurry, his obsession was still so clear.

"Witch, and who's the other one?"

Satisfied, watching the exhausted Magician Vill-V being carried onto a stretcher and sent for emergency treatment, Brother Jie smiled broadly. Turning his head, he remembered there were two, so he asked Luming.

"Oh, the person I found for you." Luming said, pulling Aponia, whose lips were twitching, into the room.

Bang!

Before Luming could react, Aponia calmly lowered her head, and a sharp kitchen knife flew past her head, almost grazing her head. Kalpas immediately went berserk. "Witch! If you don't want to see her chopped into mincemeat, get her out of here right now! Damn it, just seeing that face makes me angry!"

"Brother Jie, if you don't let Miss Aponia stay, I'll have to invite her over." Luming took out a small notebook and a pencil from her pocket and quickly sketched Mobius's appearance on it. The level of detail was so high that even Mobius himself would give it a thumbs up.

Kalpas snatched it away, hesitated for a moment before tearing it apart, and after weighing his options, let Aponia in. "Listen, I'm the steward here. Everything must be done my way, or pack your things and get out, understand?"

"I understand, Mr. Kalpas." Aponia's expression was always so calm, and almost no one could break her composure unless she met that child named Xing.

The other side of Schicksal—

The Violet Bird Phantom Thief sneaked into Chouki's research lab, easily stole Ice Lotus Sky using the Phantom Thief Kallen skin that hadn't appeared in a long time, and then left gracefully.

"Aaaaaah! His Lord Bishop ordered me to study this intensively! How did it suddenly disappear?!"

Miss Chouki started worrying about her job and her life again.

Anti-Entropy —

"So... you're now that awesome Herrscher of Scorching Flame?"

Sachi chose to tell the truth to the Anti-Entropy trio. After listening to Sachi's account, Tesla initially thought he was talking nonsense, until Sachi used the power of the Herrscher of Reason in front of them.

Welt Young was completely bewildered. "I haven't even been banned yet, how did my account get hacked right in front of me?"

"Huh, it can even connect to and access the knowledge base of the Will of Honkai?" Looking at the technological data that Yuuki gave them, which was slightly ahead of the current era, Einstein became excited. "Is it because of the special nature of the Herrscher of Scorching Flame? That's really incredible. Yang Ke has never shown this ability before."

Old Yang silently lowered his head, feeling as if an arrow had struck his knee. "Should I retire early and go into Yugi?"

"So you've saved the world again, and even purified the environment while giving all of humanity Stigmata?" Tesla clicked his tongue in amazement, picking up the Rabbit Assistant and looking him up and down. "Hiss, can I assume that you've accomplished a miracle that only a god could do?"

"Wow, is that amazing?" The boy tilted his head, puzzled.

Tesla, who was almost driven mad by him, immediately started swearing. If Ein and Old Yang hadn't stopped her, she was sure she would have gone up and let Xing beat her up.

"However, thanks to you for completing the human Stigmata gene, Dr. Tesla has made a fortune this time." Ein pulled up a table, "Because the existence of Honkai was made public, the insecure public demanded the distribution of weapons. Desire Driver, Battle Driver, Player Driver, Lost Driver... Dr. Tesla has made a killing."

"Ahem, I only sold some low-level weapons, I didn't expect so many suckers." The lobster proudly raised its head, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Xing, "Hey, hey, hey, since you're so strong, can you defeat the Finality?"

"Finality, I am invincible; Finality— " Under the expectant gazes of the three Anti-Entropy members, the young boy spread his hands and declared, "Of course, I can't beat him now."

Bang! ×3

The three of them fell to the ground together, so what are you even talking about!

"But since the Doctor has made so much money this time..." A sly glint flashed in Xing's eyes, "How about you sponsor my new concert?"

Stay tuned!

On a beach, Fu Hua, who was both shy and excited, stood before the crowd after gathering the entire Fire-Chasing Squad.

"I've gathered you all here today to announce something I've kept from you for a long time."

He glanced at the incredibly expectant Fu Hua, then spoke slowly and seriously, before turning to Fu Hua in front of Kiana and the others—

"Actually, she is my dad."

After saying that, taking advantage of everyone's collective petrification and bewilderment, he swiftly patted Fu Hua's chest a few times, the sound of steel plates colliding echoing throughout the entire beach.

Note: Like the previous Herrscher of Consciousness, this is also a recording of Xingfang.

"Hahaha! Shenzhou tablet, you've been fooled! Come and chase me if you dare!"

"Disrespectful to elders! Stop right there! Go back and copy the Tao Te Ching ten thousand times!!!"

(Please imagine the style of a Martian genius below, thank you!)

Fu Hua, in a frenzy, chased her prankster son, who was laughing hysterically, on the beach in a chase. The Fire-Chasing Squad, collectively petrified, drove off and disappeared on one side of the beach. Then, a large, fat Crimson Kite Bird chased a smaller, fat Crimson Kite Bird, pecking at it relentlessly, and ran off to disappear on the other side of the beach.

After a while, a pink Nine-Tails nimbly dodged the barrage of fire phoenixes from the sky and disappeared once again on one side of the beach.

After a while, the enraged Phoenix chased after the young immortal who kept turning around and making faces. They clashed with various immortal techniques and physical skills, and then disappeared on the other side of the beach.

After a while, the Hyperion, which he had borrowed from Theresa, flew out from the other side of the beach in its warship, with Fu Hua in the luxurious warship she had Kidnapping from Eden giving chase.

A while later, Kalpas, who had transformed into Super Honkai Person, chased after Fu Hua's Father and rushed out. The scene instantly turned into a Temple Run horror Yugi, while the young boy and girl, licking lollipops, sat hand in hand next to the still petrified Fire-Chasing Squad, watching the show.

"Phew, this is what makes life interesting, don't you think?"

Author's Note—

The next chapter marks the opening of Luming Lady's second concert! Simultaneously, the first battle of Honkai new Honkai era begins! The alien dungeon opens! The Fire Chasers are officially formed!

Let's cause trouble! Let's cause trouble! Let's cause trouble!
