Fu Hua: "Re↗born↘ Fu↗ Hua↘-You're the Herrscher!"
If these two were to team up, we could mourn the Honkai even earlier.
There are already a lot of traitors, and now the other side has even joined forces.
Chapter 333 Fu Hua: New Fu Hua, you are the Herrscher!
Fu Hua did not refuse, but instead let Little Knowledge try.
But when Little Knowledge tried to absorb it, he found that he couldn't grasp it at all. Even though Fu Hua didn't put up any resistance, the invisible hand couldn't hold onto the feather.
She tried several more times, but the result was the same.
"Why?"
"Because we are two different souls."
Fu Hua's voice was filled with sorrow, but Little Knowledge could also detect a trace of pity.
"Different souls..."
Little Knowledge crossed her arms and denied Fu Hua's statement, believing that Fu Hua only represented the past, and that she herself was the real one, even if she was just a feather.
"You should already know that this is true."
Fu Hua's tone was calm, but it was this calmness and her pitying gaze that made Little Knowledge even angrier.
"The truth? The truth is that everyone except you Feather of the Wind to me the moment they see me! The truth is that you're the only one with a problem in your head, thinking that what you say is right!"
"You're too stubborn. You're the one who can't see the facts! Me—you're still living in the past, understand? You're treating yourself like Dr. MEI's tool!"
"Times have changed! We don't have to play the role of Fusion Warrior, Valkyrie, or students of St. Freya! We can be ourselves, our true selves!"
Little Knowledge was very excited; she couldn't understand why this feather was so stubbornly refusing to dissolve!
"???"
Mei looked completely bewildered. How could this have gotten to her?!
"We actually think Little Knowledge is right. Hua's past experiences were too tragic. He was always being arranged by others. Now he finally has the opportunity to be himself." Pardo ate popcorn and agreed with Little Knowledge's statement.
Sakura nodded. "Little Knowledge's idea aligns perfectly with what Cang Xuan and Danzhu want Hua to become: to be his true self and no longer follow Dr. MEI's plans."
Little Knowledge's words resonated with many viewers.
Kiana suddenly thought, "Little Knowledge still thinks he's Fu Hua. If he knew he was Herrscher, would he have a mental breakdown?"
"Otherwise what?" Bronya glared with dead fish eyes. "Kiana, who do you think is the final big boss in this movie?"
"Ah, wasn't it said that Little Knowledge wouldn't become a villain?"
"The villain and the big boss are not the same thing."
Kiana understood.
I've learned a new lesson.
Little Knowledge Shi stomped his foot angrily and used Feather of the Wind to create an illusion.
That was in the Previous Era, Fu Hua first encountered Dead Soldiers and could only escape with the girls. But now it's different; they have power and can stand up to being controlled.
Immediately, without any pause, Himeko looked remarkably like Himiko, appeared.
Having become the captain of the Herrscher, she tried every means to save Himiko. She went through many hardships to reach the captain, who did not attack her but smiled at her. However, Dr. MEI ordered Kevin to kill Himiko.
"Heh." Little Knowledge scoffed coldly, "How ironic. Every time I think of Kiana, I think of the captain."
Are you resentful?
Little Knowledge shook his head.
Dr. MEI is dead. There were only a handful of survivors from the last era, so who can we blame?
All that remains is regret.
Why are you always so timid and hesitant? Why are you always so indecisive? Why do you always leave the choices to others? Why can't you fight as you please?
A flash of white light, and the illusion changed once again, gazing into the abyss.
The deaths of Cang Xuan and Danzhu.
She could have instinctively stopped him, could have forcibly kept Danzhu away, but she didn't. By the time she returned, her friend had already died in battle.
"I don't understand. War always involves sacrifice. Why would I think the lives of civilians are more important than my friends and my trusted assistants?"
"Why don't I put aside everything else and rush here as quickly as possible to eliminate Chi You and save my friends?"
Little Knowledge was furious and questioned him in a harsh tone.
"... I must put the well-being of all mankind first." Fu Hua closed her eyes, not wanting others to see the sadness in them.
"Nonsense! Must? Who decided that? Dr. MEI? Why should I listen to her! All these years have passed, where is this so-called well-being of all mankind?"
The debate between Little Knowledge and Fu Hua.
The vast majority of the audience wants to side with Little Knowledge. Most people are not inherently noble; they prefer to protect those around them rather than make selfless sacrifices.
A clash between reason and emotion.
A clash between divinity and humanity.
"This argument has no end in sight. Little Knowledge and Hua, whichever side they choose, will lose the other," Mei sighed.
If Fu Hua is chosen, then Cang Xuan and Danzhu will die in battle.
If you choose the Little Knowledge, then a group of innocent people will die under the Honkai.
"Hmph, then let's just go back and fight our way out. In the end, it's because we're not strong enough. Why would a child make such a choice?" Kalpas Jie stood with his arms crossed, his eyes the only part of his face that revealed his utterly cold demeanor.
In this debate, the audience will only feel that Little Knowledge's character is more realistic and easier for them to accept.
"Old timer, if it were you, would you make the same choice as in the story?" Little Knowledge asked curiously.
This also piqued the curiosity of Kiana and the others.
"I have no idea."
Fu Hua answered in this way.
This disappointed them.
"But it's highly unlikely." Fu Hua continued, "I'm not 'she,' I'm not that noble. If I had to choose between a stranger and someone I know, I would choose someone I know."
"You old fogey, if Kiana and I were both in danger, but you could only save one of us, who would you save?"
Little Knowledge asked with a smile.
"???"
Fu Hua was still in shock, but Mei was already dumbfounded.
Why would Little Knowledge compare herself to Kiana?
Could it be...?
Mei wasn't particularly wary; her Little Knowledge having a childlike heart might have been just a casual remark, but the upcoming events would greatly increase her sense of crisis.
"Hey, Little Knowledge, why are you comparing me to someone else?!"
Kiana said with dissatisfaction.
Little Knowledge stood tall and proud, seemingly unaware that he had made a mistake.
Fu Hua gently tapped Little Knowledge's head, making her meaning very clear.
Kiana puffed out her cheeks.
She could have ignored it, but don't bring her up!
Little Knowledge summoned the scene from the Eastern Expedition of Schicksal's Mandate five hundred years ago.
She wondered if everything could have been rewritten and all the sad things would never have happened again if she had killed Kallen and Otto back then.
Without hesitation, she obliterated the illusions of Otto and Kallen in a near-venting manner, but Fu Hua stopped her, even though it was all fake.
Little Knowledge was dissatisfied; she could defeat the Honkai and save human civilization by relying solely on her own strength, without depending on anyone else.
Faced with Little Knowledge's excitement, Fu Hua bluntly poured cold water on her enthusiasm. Little Knowledge kept refuting the doubts Fu Hua raised, resisting the fact that she couldn't accept it.
"Your awakening has a reason; a body without a soul cannot give birth to consciousness out of thin air."
"You are not fighting against the Honkai. Think about it carefully: all your actions, such as disrupting Schicksal and attacking World Serpent, are actually carrying out the will of the Honkai..."
"No matter how legitimate your reasons may be, actions don't lie. You'll only do one thing, and that's destruction."
"Because... you are a Herrscher."
"???"
The audience had no idea that the Little Knowledge points that brought them excitement were actually a deliberate and Honkai twist, prompting them to sigh in disbelief that there was more and more of this kind of manipulation.
"Damn, looking back and thinking about it carefully, it seems that what I did really helped the Honkai."
When Little Knowledge received the script, her attention was drawn to her own fight scenes, and she didn't think much about it. It was only when the scenes appeared on the big screen that she began to ponder them.
Little Knowledge's punches and kicks against Schicksal and World Serpent certainly brought great satisfaction to the audience, but these were also two major organizations fighting against the Honkai, and Little Knowledge almost destroyed World Serpent's entire strength.
"So, the voice that's been speaking in Little Knowledge's mind is Collapse Consciousness?"
Mei realized what was happening.
Because the Collapse Consciousness hasn't caused trouble for so long, viewers have forgotten about this biggest boss of the Honkai that appeared in the first movie.
"It's quite clever. Since Herrscher it has created have betrayed it and chosen to fight for humanity, it will create a Herrscher that fights for humanity, and under the guise of fighting for humanity, destroy humanity's defenses against the Honkai."
Mobius's tone was utterly speechless.
From beginning to end, not a single viewer guessed that Fu Hua became the Herrscher; they all guessed that the newly born consciousness within Fu Hua's body was the Herrscher.
[After Fu Hua identified Little Knowledge as Herrscher.]
Little Knowledge has been thinking about this for a long time.
"You said I am a Herrscher."
"But my belief has always been to fight against the Honkai. Would the Honkai allow such an apostle to wield her power while raising the sword of rebellion against her?"
Fu Hua, however, cited the examples of Joyce, Kiana, Mei, all of whom were Herrscher and fought for humanity.
But Little Knowledge thinks it doesn't matter whether he is Herrscher or not. As long as he fights for humanity, that's enough.
Fu Hua believes that Little Knowledge's actions are more important than her thoughts. Since her birth, everything she has done has Honkai the Honkai and destroyed the two most steadfast Honkai organizations.
If given the chance, she would definitely do the same thing to Anti-Entropy.
Little Knowledge retorted.
She distrusts Anti-Entropy, Anti-Entropy already has three Herrscher, and Theresa and Seele also have the potential to become Herrscher.
"Is this... a foreshadowing?"
Kiana paused deliberately.
Little Knowledge and Fu Hua suddenly started talking about Anti-Entropy, and then abruptly said that Seele and Theresa might also become Herrscher.
Many viewers firmly believe this, as if becoming Herrscher is the only way to fight against the Honkai.
"Ah?"
Theresa called out.
She became Herrscher? Really?
"Judging from this, St. Freya Academy really is Herrscher academy. The headmistress carries the Key of Binding every day, so she must be Herrscher of Binding. Seele is most likely the Herrscher of Death, Himeko... is very likely the Herrscher of Flame."
Fu Hua stroked her chin.
Initially, many people still doubted whether Himeko was alive, believing that Himeko was really dead. However, after the movie was released, people from the Previous Era who looked exactly like Himeko became the Herrscher of Flame, and they became uncertain again.
"Class monitor, and you too, you're Herrscher too."
Bronya emphasized.
"That's not an old relic, that's me, it's me!"
Little Knowledge emphasized this point.
