No Matter the Cost, Humanity Will Defeat the Honkai! / License Revoked / You Know Nothing About the Honkai!
Mei was speechless.
Kalpas with rage, Qianjie slammed his fist into the seat in front of him.
Hen, who was fast asleep, was startled awake.
May tells Kevin that the Herrscher have not been destroyed. The essence of the Twelfth Herrscher is an ultimate virus with self-awareness, which is the true form of the Herrscher of Corruption.
It is infiltrating the base and further seizing control of the nuclear missile silos.
Kevin told Seele to take Sakura away.
"Rin, are you still alive?" Sakura's voice was lifeless, freezing the space.
Sakura stood there, staring blankly at Kevin.
"Kevin, where is she?"
Kevin instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
"I'm going to find her."
"Are you crazy? She's not Ling anymore!" Kevin remained cold, his demeanor completely gone.
Seele tried to dissuade Sakura, but Sakura persuaded her instead. Sakura's tearful voice, combined with the slow background music, made people want to cry.
"Don't joke around! Ling is already dead!" Kevin didn't want to see his comrade go to his death.
Cherry blossoms froze time once again.
She didn't take Seele away, but left her with her last words. "I wish you a reunion with your sister."
Time resumed its flow.
Seele couldn't find Sakura, and she wanted to go help her.
"No, there's no need for that."
After Kevin finished speaking, the screen went black, and it was Mei's voice. She told Kevin that she had successfully sealed the Herrscher, but Kevin didn't reply, which made her a little nervous.
"Excuse me, Mei, could you give me a little time?"
"I have some things... to take care of."
"Sister!" Hearing Sakura's tearful voice, Rin could no longer suppress her grief and threw herself into Sakura's arms, bursting into tears.
"So touching..." Elysia shed tears again, but this time both Eden and Mobius had run out of tissues.
Mobius quietly wiped away the tears that had seeped from the corners of his eyes, and returned to his normal appearance, as if he had never cried.
She was a little curious. Everyone says that women are made by someone, so could Elysia be made by the sea?
"Yaqing only knows how to write tear-jerking plots..." Elysia wiped away her tears with the clothes on her arm, accusing Yaqing of being despicable. "Didn't he say it was a sunny, cheerful and uplifting story?"
"You'd be better off believing that pigs can fly than believing him."
"Mom, why is everyone crying?" Griseo asked Blanca, her eyes covered so she couldn't see any of the plot.
"I'm sorry, Griseo, Mom forgot." Blanca apologized, then explained to Griseo, "Because everyone saw how much Sakura loves her younger sister."
"Sakura-neechan and Rin-neechan..." Griseo touched her lips, thinking that drawing orthopedics wasn't out of the question.
"So touching, I wish my sister was like that too."
Kiana was thinking of her older sister.
The eldest sister is serious, conscientious, and ambitious. She is even more strict with herself, and with her... even stricter.
My second sister is a lazy, homebody who will never grow up. She'll just live her life with Bella like this, and there's no one she can rely on.
Chapter 186 No matter the cost, humanity will surely defeat the Honkai!
When the scene brightened again, Sakura, holding the Spirit-Controlling Blade - Frozen Naraka, leaned against the ruins of the crumbling wall. Her eyes had lost their light, and flowers emitting an eerie glow sprouted at her feet.
"No... no way..." Ling stopped crying and stared blankly at the scene before her.
Sakura gently rubbed her head and pulled her into her arms.
Kalpas was still "enjoying" Aponia's psychological counseling.
Mei sighed.
"Liar..." Elysia muttered to herself, "He lied to people and said it was a sunny and optimistic story, but where is the sunshine? Where is the optimism? What a big liar!"
Mobius and Vill-V remained silent.
In his final moments, Kevin told Sakura that the Herrscher had been sealed away.
"That's good. I stayed with Rin... until the very last moment... until the very end... she was still my sister..."
"I protected... my pride as the older sister..."
Even at the end of her life, Sakura did not forget her promise to Seele. She asked Kevin to take Seele away and take her to the cherry blossom tree in her hometown.
"You will find... that the world is still beautiful..."
As she finished speaking, the last glimmer of light in her eyes vanished. The World Bubble also gradually dissipated, returning to nothingness along with that "Setsuna" warrior.
"Sakura-neechan... Sakura-neechan..."
The girl's sobs faded into the darkness, leaving only silence.
Sakura's line, "You will find that this world is still beautiful," brought back memories for viewers of Himeko's Final Lesson in the previous series, where she said, "You will find that this world is no longer beautiful." The stark contrast made Kiana finally break down.
"Why?" Kiana leaned on Mei's shoulder. "Why would that stinky uncle kill off a character as well-developed as Sakura?"
Kiana was very puzzled.
Although Sakura's appearance was brief, she left a deep impression on the audience, whether it was her love for her younger sister and her gentleness towards Seele, or her courage and strength in drawing her sword.
Kiana remembered Sakura and Rin, weren't they her uncle's roommates? She killed both of them in just half an hour.
Bronya was comforting Seele, who was crying in her arms, when she turned around and saw that Arlene and her sister had also started crying together. Although she was also sad, Bronya was more troubled by a headache.
The initial sobs in the theater gradually turned into weeping.
Hen was completely bewildered when he woke up, especially when he saw Blanca with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong...?"
"Hector knew the kingdom would eventually fall, and Achilles understood he was heading towards death. But the two of them still went to the battlefield without hesitation."
"In this story, which was destined to be a tragedy from the very beginning, no one ever hesitated or wavered."
"They are like this, and so are we."
Kevin's voice brought a sense of security in the pitch-black darkness, but Seele couldn't figure out who was speaking.
"I brought her body back to my hometown. But when I arrived there... all I saw was a desolate wasteland."
"The Herrscher manipulated the launch silos and used nuclear weapons to completely destroy the three remaining human cities."
"I stood in the square that had been reduced to ruins, and I couldn't see a single cherry blossom in my eyes."
Like cherry blossoms shimmering with particle light, the special effects enhance the scene, revealing a giant cherry tree growing at the end of the Sea of Quanta, with every petal glowing.
Standing in front of the cherry blossom tree was a figure that Seele knew all too well— Kevin, who was even more mature and aloof than in World Bubble.
"On the burnt-out earth, I made a promise to her, to everyone—"
"No matter the cost, humanity will surely defeat the Honkai!"
Kevin turned around, his azure eyes devoid of any human emotion, cold and indifferent.
"Boss Kevin? How could it be Boss Kevin?" Pardo almost didn't react.
"Pardo, you find it incredible too, right? I think so too." Sue agreed, "Kevin couldn't possibly say so many philosophical things."
"Hey, Su-ge, that's not what I meant," Pardo quickly retorted. "What I meant was, does Kevin's appearance at this time mean he's the mastermind behind everything?"
"If the little follower's brain is still not working properly after 50,000 years, I'll have to study him." Mobius licked his lips.
Startled, Kevin immediately hid behind May.
"Kevin, what's gotten into you? You're obsessed!" Mei frowned.
Seele pointed out in horror that the other party was "Snake," and that the World Bubble she had just experienced was created by it. Kevin did not hide anything and admitted that it was his memory.
"Memories with companions, the will entrusted to us, and the future we look forward to for everyone."
"They are like dream bubbles, appearing before my eyes day after day, only to vanish into nothingness."
"It's as if it's constantly reminding me of the fact that humanity was once Honkai the Honkai."
"In other words, that's not the story that happened in the World Bubble, but the story of a Previous Era the main storyline." Kiana finally realized.
"No, since Kevin is a warrior left behind by the Previous Era and an existence that fights against the Honkai, he should be similar to the class monitor. Why would Teacher Yang risk her life to prevent him from returning to the real world?" Mei's small head was full of big questions.
Bronya hurriedly comforted the Arlene sisters before focusing on gently Seele, not even hearing what they were saying.
"It's also possible that the price he mentioned is unacceptable to Welt, such as abandoning the majority of people and defeating the Honkai with a small group," Himeko speculated.
"Isn't that a villain?!" Kiana said, dissatisfied.
Back row.
"Whether it's Hua or Kevin, they're both people from the courtyard." Vill-V noticed this.
"Oh right." Little Knowledge suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and said seriously, "I suspect that the old antique is using my identity now. The real 'Fu Hua' died in the Previous Era. That would fit the character setting that Yaqing told me about."
Little Knowledge stood with his hands on his hips, chest puffed out proudly.
"But, Little Knowledge ..." Pardo weakly raised her hand, "Hua has also been shot in the head, and his life or death is unknown."
"Never mind that. As a warrior from Previous Era, I must have ways to save my life." Little Knowledge waved his hand.
"Is the World Serpent led by Kevin?" Mei looked at Kevin with ill intent. "I'd really like to see what it's like when Kevin is in charge?"
The three true leaders of the World Serpent all looked at Kevin.
This greatly increases the pressure on working professionals.
Chapter 187 Driver's License Revocation / You know nothing about the Honkai!
The Previous Era has perished. Although a few people survived to the present civilization, only Fu Hua and Kevin have appeared so far. Both of their characters are relatively well-developed, making the audience even more curious about the storyline of the Previous Era.
Will there be some interesting stories between Dr. MEI looks remarkably like Mei, and the progenitor of Kaslana?
"Although he's obsessed, Kevin is also a pitiful person. The destruction of civilization and the hopes of humanity weighed on his shoulders. He witnessed so many separations and deaths, which led to his current indifference." Fu Hua sighed.
"Where's Su?" Little Knowledge suddenly spoke up, "And Yaqing, aren't the three of them inseparable? Now Kevin is standing here, which means the two of them..."
Little Knowledge didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood the implication.
Fusion Warrior live to die, so death and fall are perfectly normal for them; they had just witnessed Sakura's demise.
"I've heard Sue's script," Kevin shook his head. "But I haven't heard any scripts about Yaqing herself."
"He wouldn't have reserved a super cool role for himself, would he?" Little Knowledge exclaimed.
"Or perhaps, he didn't reserve a role for himself."
Before Seele could react to Kevin's meaning, a ghostly motorcycle sped down from the sky and blocked the two of them. Bronya grabbed Seele's hand and confronted Kevin.
Bronya and Welt in the core are both very wary of Kevin.
Kevin, however, showed no hostility towards them and immediately recognized Welt, who had hidden his consciousness within his core, leaving Welt utterly astonished.
Upon seeing the Herrscher who fought for humanity, Kevin's voice was calm, but a closer listen revealed a slight tremor. Was it fear? No, it was excitement.
Bronya didn't believe a word Kevin said.
Kevin had no choice but to reveal his power. The energy in the space continuously gathered in Kevin's palm, transforming into the Gem of Hopes. Under Bronya's astonished gaze, he said:
"I have been sleeping in this ocean for 1,500 years. During these 1,500 years, the Honkai has been rampant, and I can only sink into the memories of the past, powerless to do anything about it."
"But now, the time for the snake to return has come."
