What If Otto Didn't Want to Revive Kallen, but Instead Wanted to Destroy Honkai?
When the word "fire" is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind for viewers is the Herrscher of Flame, since Kiana just became the Herrscher of Finality in the main storyline.
"The Previous Era Herrscher of Flame, was she the one who looked exactly like Himeko, and her name was... Himiko?"
It's been a long time since "Angel Rebuild" was released, and Elysia can't quite remember the exact date.
"Her name is Himiko, Hua's captain. After being killed by Kevin, she left a grudge in Hua's heart."
Mei nodded.
"According to the ranking of the Divine Key, the Previous Era has already gone through the Seventh Herrscher, and the next one will be the Eighth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Sentience."
Those Herrscher of Sentience.
The image of Little Knowledge's healthy laughter instantly flashed through everyone's minds.
This is also the current impression left on the Herrscher of Sentience: besides the illusion, what is more important is the fierce close combat of the Herrscher of Little Knowledge.
"I wonder if the Herrscher of Sentience from the Previous Era was as cute as Little Knowledge."
Elysia had high hopes.
Mobius glanced at Yaqing; as Herrscher of Consciousness, she didn't think he would be a benevolent person in the Previous Era.
Little Knowledge, from the present civilization, was overwhelmed by Fu Hua's memories and blinded himself to believe that he was Fu Hua and that he should fight for humanity. Mobius was more inclined to accept the character that Yaqing had written specifically for Little Knowledge.
I made dumplings specifically for this bottle of vinegar.
Manipulation of consciousness is impossible to guard against.
If Little Knowledge were on the side of Honkai, the global lifespan would likely decrease significantly.
"Senior..."
Taking advantage of the moment, Mobius pinched Yaqing's cheek and then leaned in to gently press it against his cheek.
The next episode doesn't pick up where the previous one left off. Durandal is in the incubation chamber, with many tubes connected to her body.
Otto explained to the audience that what had just happened were all scenes from Durandal's memories, and now she had to find its location before it attacked the shackles of consciousness.
As the experiment began, the narration reached the audience's ears: shortly after Durandal joined the Moth Chasing Fire, the Eighth Herrscher was born, triggering a mysterious global coma event.
The victims suddenly fell into a deep sleep while using the internet and never woke up again. According to the investigation, all the victims were having the same dream. Dr. MEI ordered Otto to lead the Fifth Science Department to conduct research.
In the real world, people are constantly falling into a deep sleep. In just one month, the number of people in a deep sleep has exceeded 2 million. Hospitals have reached their capacity, and many people are dying peacefully in their sleep.
Finally, Dr. MEI and Otto determined that this coma was caused by the Honkai, and the individual that triggered it was the Eighth Herrscher.
The Eighth Herrscher's power is a memetic weapon. After seeing words contaminated by it, a person's mind will be infected and trapped in a dream controlled by it.
Even knowing the Eighth Herrscher's abilities, the Moth Chasing Fire still don't understand Eighth Herrscher, but they will soon realize it, because while they are searching for the Herrscher, the Herrscher is also searching for them.
Dreams are indeed connected to illusions.
This is also the ability that the Herrscher of Sentience demonstrates on Feather of the Wind.
As Mobius had predicted, the Herrscher of Sentience indeed caused many casualties.
Thinking back carefully, aside from being a bit of a brat, Little Knowledge was actually quite well-behaved and adorable compared to the Herrscher of Sentience from the Previous Era.
"Not good at all, what a bad child."
Elysia puffed out her cheeks, like a pufferfish.
"Herrscher controls consciousness, this is the destructive power that should exist. It's unbelievable that the Previous Era could have survived until the Finality without Herrscher fighting for humanity."
Sakura sighed.
The Herrscher born in the present civilization give them the illusion that they fight for humanity, making them forget the original setting: the Herrscher were originally apostles of Honkai.
Their birth serves as a series of tests for the Honkai.
It's just that there are too many Herrscher have betrayed the current civilization.
"Just looking at these casualty figures, it's remarkable that Boss Kevin, after being sealed away for 1,500 years, didn't immediately attack the Herrscher of Reason. That shows how cultured Boss Kevin is."
Pardo let the Canned Food lie on her lap and stroked its soft, fluffy belly.
"But that was the Previous Era. After Kevin saw the current civilization, wasn't he still just as obsessed?"
"Sister Elysia, although Kiana and the others are indeed Herrscher who fight for humanity, Sirin seems to have caused just as many casualties as the Herrscher of Sentience from Previous Era."
Pardo cautiously reminded him.
A single sentence left Elysia speechless.
"Kevin's chosen plan is too cruel. Once the Stigmata Project is activated, only those who awaken the Stigmata will survive. He is toying with the laws of nature and accelerating human evolution..."
Mobius's tone was neither approving nor opposed.
"Little Knowledge is still cuter."
Elysia sighed.
My Little Knowledge is: Fighting is awesome!
[The Eighth Herrscher quickly found the key words through continuous attempts. In that instant, many members of the Moth Chasing Fire fell into a deep sleep. Dr. MEI and Otto quickly issued consciousness shackles.]
However, as the number of keywords increases, the protection of the consciousness shackles gradually weakens. The period before the Eighth Herrscher breaks the shackles is also their last chance to fight back.
Durandal's task is to actively infiltrate the dream world and find the location of the Eighth Herrscher.
As the experiment began, all the mental Fusion Warrior collectively unlocked their consciousness and entered the illusion of the Eighth Herrscher.
As Otto drank, he lamented that he was becoming more and more backward, having actually transformed his student into Fusion Warrior and personally sent him to hell.
In that instant, Bo Long suddenly stabbed Otto in the stomach with his knife.
The pain calmed Otto down considerably. When he saw Bo Long's pupils, he knew that the other party had been controlled by the Eighth Herrscher.
Bo Long raised his gun and pointed it at Otto.
Once the Observation Hub is destroyed, no one can stand against the Eighth Herrscher.
"It's over, it's over. Bo Long has been controlled. How is Otto supposed to fight the Herrscher now that only Otto is left?"
Pardo unconsciously increased the pressure on her hands, and the milk Canned Food that was comfortably kneading let out a dissatisfied yelp and jumped off Pardo's legs.
"I never imagined that one day I would actually worry about Otto."
"Elysia, you're not worried about Otto, but about the teacher in Sue's memory."
Mei's words hit the nail on the head.
Durandal is currently experiencing Su's memories, and Otto is not actually Otto, but rather Su's teacher, just as Rita replaced Kevin.
"Yaqing, are you planning to hide us away forever?"
Elysia stood with her hands on her slender waist.
Judging from Sakura, the Su sisters, Sue, Kevin and Mei, and even Elysia who appeared not long ago, the members of the Golden Courtyard are very likely all from Previous Era.
With this mindset, as they watched Durandal experience Sue's memories, they all looked forward to their own appearance, even if it was just for a brief moment.
But so far, it seems that those who appeared in the Previous Era were all people they already knew.
"I didn't intend to hide it."
Yaqing's face showed helplessness, and she spread her hands.
"Since the key is Sue's memories, they must be related to Kevin. Just because we have a good relationship in reality doesn't mean it will be the same in the story. Even if we do have a good relationship, it's not what Sue wants Durandal to experience."
Yaqing's explanation convinced most of the people.
"Yaqing, I thought you would make an appearance. After all, you, Kevin, and Su were known as the Iron Triangle in the academy, and each of you had your own unique title."
Mei adjusted her glasses, the reflection obscuring her eyes, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Immediately, Mobius and Vill-V understood what she meant and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Sue and Kevin's expressions changed; they felt like the sky had fallen.
"Mei, there's no need. No need to say anything, he's the screenwriter, he can appear or not as he pleases."
Kevin was so anxious that his tongue was spinning when he spoke.
Su opened her eyes at Mei's words.
This immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
Aside from the indifferent Yaqing, what kind of nickname could have caused Kevin and Sue to react so strongly?
"Mei, hey, tell me about it~"
Elysia sat next to Mei and hugged Mei's arm affectionately.
Mei glanced helplessly at Su and Kevin.
"Back then in the academy, Su, Kevin, and Yaqing were all campus heartthrobs, the objects of girls' pursuit. At that time, the three of them had a nickname."
"Gentleman's Butler".
Su covered her eyes with one hand, her heart filled with despair.
"Your Highness."
Kevin looked utterly dejected.
"Your Majesty the Demon King."
Yaqing's lips were practically pouting to the heavens.
A moment of silence fell over the entire room, followed by a burst of thunderous laughter.
"Hahahaha... no, you guys... you three even had such a chuunibyou (delusional) phase."
Sakura laughed so hard she could hardly breathe.
She thought she was already quite immature when she was young, but compared to these three, she was nothing.
Unlike Kevin and Sue, Yaqing seemed quite proud.
"Even if he's the Demon King, I am still..."
Before Yaqing could finish speaking, Mobius smacked her on the head, forcing her to swallow her words back down.
Mobius felt embarrassed for him.

Chapter 433 What if Otto didn't want to revive Kallen, but instead wanted her to Honkai?
"Ah, it seems that the Herrscher of Sentience from the Previous Era are much more adept at playing tricks than the Little Knowledge. Their authority over consciousness is never about fighting people hand-to-hand, but about playing with illusions."
Kiana had a sudden inspiration.
The false Herrscher of Sentience: Using the authority of consciousness to plunge millions of people around the world into a dream from which they can never wake up.
The true Herrscher of Sentience: hand-to-hand combat, battle, exhilaration!
"Well, it's fortunate that Little Knowledge didn't use his powers against ordinary people, otherwise, the current civilization wouldn't have been able to overcome the Herrscher of Sentience so easily."
Mei smiled. Given the destructive and lethal power displayed by the Herrscher of Sentience from the Previous Era, people from the current civilization should be grateful that Little Knowledge Shi had shown mercy.
"Too."
Having broken free of her shackles of consciousness, Durandal entered the dream created by the Eighth Herrscher, which was the rooftop of a building, and she had nearly 200 minutes of free time.
Suddenly, Durandal was drawn to the sound coming from the room behind her. She gently pushed the door open a crack and, upon seeing Bo Long, involuntarily took a step back.
She suddenly realized that Bo Long had already fallen into a dream. Just then, the shadow of the Herrscher of Sentience suddenly appeared, constantly tempting Durandal. Reality was so painful, but the dream was so beautiful.
Durandal discovered that the Observation Hub had been shut down, so she chose to escape, flipping over the railing and leaping off the rooftop.
Countless black hands reached out from behind, grabbed Durandal, and dragged her into the dream.
After Durandal jumped off the platform, she didn't feel the thrill of jumping off a building; instead, she quickly stepped onto the grass.
Ragna stood a short distance in front of her, patting Durandal on the shoulder and telling her that today was Annie's discharge day, and that it was thanks to her that a cure for Honkai Collapse Disease was discovered.
"As expected, we've fallen into a disadvantageous position..."
Bronya sighed.
"If our eldest sister were to fully unleash her power, she could not only contend with the Herrscher of Sentience, but even the Herrscher of the End!"
Kiana looked completely unconvinced.
