Mei's Death; Don't Jinx It.
After all, she was the kind of wicked woman who would whisper "guaranteed pity on all gacha pulls, zero drops in dungeons" while Kevin, Little Knowledge, and Yaqing played gacha games.
Back in reality, the heavily injured Otto struggled to his feet. Awakening from his dream, he dared not slack off for a moment and tried his best to restart the Observation Hub.
"Hang in there, Bianka."
In the dream, Durandal and Ragna are saying goodbye to the Collapse Disease patients who have been cured.
Durandal suddenly said that she had to go.
Ragna was very puzzled.
Durandal understood that Ragna was dead, but she still had to thank the Eighth Herrscher, because it allowed her to see Ragna one last time and say the words that had been buried in her heart.
Ragna grabbed Durandal's wrist, trying to prove he was still alive.
Durandal raised her weapon and swung it, the red laser piercing through Ragra's chest.
"No matter how painful this fact may be, I must admit that it is precisely because of this pain that I can keep moving forward."
Goodbye... Director.
Durandal awoke from her dream and successfully located the Eighth Herrscher.
Upon hearing this broadcast, Otto, who was leaning against the control panel, seemed to have all his strength drained away, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
"Well done, Bianka. It's a pity... I can't keep my promise to buy you a drink..."
Just then, Sue's phantom reappeared, gazing at the dead Otto and speaking softly.
"Cause and effect is the fairest law."
"Only those who can accept cause and effect can move forward into the future."

Chapter 434 Mei's Death: Don't Make Unfounded Predictions.
"Well,"
Sighs rose and fell.
Viewers hated Otto with a passion, but felt sorry for Dr. Otto, who was single-mindedly trying to cure the Collapse Disease and sacrificed himself to fight the Herrscher.
"We still don't understand the meaning of Su's last sentence."
Pardo shook her head.
Since Su appeared, they could understand every word he said, but when put together, it sounded like inhuman speech. He could speak plainly, but he always kept his words hidden.
"Cause and effect... that sounds like a Buddhist term. Su's words always have a strong Buddhist flavor. Could it be...?"
Sakura seemed lost in thought.
"Is Su a manifestation of the present civilization of Shakyamuni?"
"Sister Ying, just say that Su is Otto's ancestor."
Pardo also remembers that in the web series "Heroes of Bathing" by Anti-Entropy, Otto once told Joyce that Shakyamuni was the ancestor of the Apocalypse family.
"It's not impossible."
Sakura said with a smile.
"Kevin is Kaslana's ancestor, so why can't Sue be Apocalypse's ancestor?"
Sakura really wanted to see what kind of expression Otto would make after Sue became the ancestor of Apocalypse in the story.
"According to your logic, Sister Ying, isn't Brother Yaqing the ancestor of Schariac? The three of them are inseparable."
"Good idea."
Sakura's eyes lit up.
As a devoted shipper, she accepts all kinds of couples, including Yaqing and Kevin, Kevin and Su, Su and Yaqing, etc. She believes that the happiness of the three of them is more important than anything else.
Pardo didn't say anything more. She didn't have that many brain cells to guess the plot. She yawned. She had been watching since the beginning and it was already past midnight. Even the Canned Food was sleepy. She ran back to her own bed.
[The scene shifts, and Su looks at the unconscious Durandal under the tree. He sits down as well. Through these trials, he has seen Durandal's justice. He reaches out and gently touches Durandal's forehead.]
"In the final test of [Incarnation], I will engrave the key to saving the world deep into your consciousness."
"Don't let me down..."
"Miss Bianka."
Emerald green leaves fell into the lake, creating ripples, and returned Sue to the illusionary realm she had designed for Durandal.
Durandal had just woken up from her dream of the Eighth Herrscher, stared blankly at the small wine jug left behind by Otto. Just then, a hand reached out and took the jug away.
"Drinking alcohol is not a good habit."
Rita appeared before Durandal, bringing news from Dr. MEI: Dr. Otto had sacrificed himself, and most of the researchers in the laboratory had also died. Dr. MEI also extended an invitation to Durandal.
"She hopes you can be transferred to headquarters to join the research of the [Stigmata Project]."
"... Stigmata Project...?"
Stigmata Project.
A plan that resonates far and wide, a plan that Kevin executes, a plan that is not accepted by the main characters.
"Finally, we're getting to the main topic..."
Mei murmured to herself.
I'm very curious about what kind of thing affected Kevin so deeply, making him so obsessed. I'm also very curious why I would make such a plan when the Stigmata Project is so cruel.
"That's not right, Mei's identity wasn't stolen."
Vill-V scratched her head.
The important figures appearing now are all replaced by people from Durandal's memories, but the most important person who decides the plan, Mei, has no one to replace her.
As everyone knows, Rita and Durandal have a "little" ambiguous relationship. Rita is using Kevin's identity, Durandal is using Sue's identity, and Mei is Mei.
Isn't that strange?
Doesn't this give us pause for thought?
Everyone's gaze immediately shifted back to Sue, Mei, and Kevin.
Mei's expression was unpredictable.
Kevin and Sue dislike each other.
But none of that matters; the culprit, Yaqing, is smiling as he watches everything unfold before him.
"Miss Bianka, in the final trial, I will tell you the truth about the [Stigmata Project]."
Sue's tone remained gentle, yet it carried an undeniable sadness and heaviness.
"It all started from that day..."
As Su spoke eloquently, she once again introduced the audience to the most tragic war on the moon, the Finality battle of the Previous Era.
Sue, who remained on Earth, comforted the distraught commander while encouraging the others.
Upon hearing that Kevin was alive and would return to Earth in 8 hours, Sue did not hesitate for a moment and rushed to May's office, excitedly pushing open the door.
He had expected to see a joyful expression on Mei's face, but instead he saw a weak-looking Mei.
"That's great... he's still alive. It's a pity... I won't be able to see him one last time."
In the storyline, Su Ru is struck by lightning, while Kevin outside the storyline is stunned.
"How could this be..."
Elysia's mouth gaped slightly, her face filled with astonishment.
"So, this is my fate?"
Mei pursed her lips.
Based on the information gleaned from the current storyline, her character seems to be extremely wicked, even being described by viewers as the Otto of the Previous Era. After all, both Little Knowledge and Cang Xuan, along with the Danzhu sisters, harbor deep resentment towards her.
"How is this possible..."
Kevin gritted his teeth.
He never expected that a knife would suddenly be plunged into his body.
Mei turned around from the chair, the purple lines of the Collapse Disease had spread to her neck, and she knew that her body had reached its limit, and she could no longer even see Su's face clearly.
Mei expressed her gratitude to Sue, saying that she had been able to hold on until now thanks to his medicine. She also told Sue that there were two letters on the table, one for Kevin and one for him.
Tears even dripped from her cheeks onto the back of her hands.
"I'm sorry, Kevin, I lied to you and said I was cured, and that we could be together once you came back from the moon..."
"For the next few thousand, tens of thousands of years, Kevin will be alone in this world. He must be very lonely. Sue, please, stay by his side and don't let him go astray."
"Promise me, okay?"
Mei extended her hand.
Su naturally agreed, but before he could even grasp Mei's hand, it fell limply to its side.
Silence.
Seeing someone leave the courtyard once again, their feelings were complicated.
Kevin remained silent, and May moved from next to Elysia back to Kevin's side, gently embracing Kevin.
Sakura glanced at it.
In this sorrowful time, for some reason, seeing Kevin and Mei's taciturnity, Sakura felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
That was the awakening of the sorrowful ghost.
Anyway, she's already as dead as can be, so the knife won't touch her.
Sakura seems to have forgotten a common term for Honkai: the World Bubble.
"This incident taught us a lesson."
Kalpas suddenly spoke.
Everyone was puzzled. This was clearly a knife; what lesson could it possibly teach?
"Don't make empty promises."
Hearing what Kalpas said, everyone couldn't help but chuckle.
Because Kalpas was right, those TV dramas always have the "I'll get married when I come back" flag, and Mei and Kevin successfully set this flag as well. "When you come back from the moon, we can be together."
Once this flag is raised, one of the two people must die, otherwise it would be impolite.
Yaqing raised an eyebrow.
Kalpas seems to have gotten used to knives now, and can even crack a few jokes.
That's true, pushing people too hard isn't good either.
During the battle against the Honkai, the Honkai energy eroded Mei's body. She relied on medication to stay afloat, but she couldn't hold on until she was reunited with Kevin.
Eight hours later, the lunar forces returned to base, and when Kevin and May met again, they were separated by death.
May left Kevin a letter and a test-tube baby conceived from the union of two people. The child's name was Adam, the original name of humankind.
Su felt guilty for not being able to cure Mei.
But Kevin stopped Sue from apologizing and resolutely headed to the shelter with the child in his arms. The Finality Herrscher was about to descend, and there was no time for them to regret.
"No matter the cost, we will defeat the Honkai."
A tear rolled down Kevin's cheek, but before it could hit the ground, it condensed into an ice crystal.
Sue watched Kevin's departing figure, then looked at Mei's body, promising that she would watch over Kevin and prevent him from going astray.
Looking at the letter Mei left him, he wished the observer plan would never come in handy.
Before the Finality Herrscher descends, the survivors enter the shelter to enter a frozen slumber, where they will then wait for fifty thousand years.
"Sigh, Kevin fought with all his might against the Finality, only to return to find his beloved dead and human civilization on the verge of destruction. I wonder what his state of mind was at that moment..."
Elysia sighed.
