Honkai Impact 2 World: The Ultimate Clash of Technology and Myth!
Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Xiao Xiao, and everyone else from the Shrek Academy had faces filled with anger and confusion.
What they believe in is "monsters only accept monsters" and "my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven."
But this End Law User, she is "Heaven"!
Tang San's fist had clenched without him even realizing it.
His eyes no longer held shock, but rather an icy, utter calm.
Beneath the calm surface lies a volcano about to erupt.
He remembered the immense pain he had endured to revive Xiao Wu by stripping away his Spirit Ring.
He recalled how much effort he had put in to fight against the Spirit Hall and to fight against the pursuit of the Divine Realm.
What if... what if everything he did was just part of a pre-ordained cycle of reincarnation?
If after him, countless "Tang San" will follow his path, experience his joys and sorrows, and ultimately meet a predetermined end, then be forgotten, and reset...
The thought sent chills down his spine.
This is no longer just about being powerful.
This is... blasphemy!
It is the ultimate desecration of life, of will, and of all struggle and resistance.
"Why... why do this?"
Ning Rongrong muttered to herself. The light of her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda dimmed. This former goddess of support only wanted to assist that civilization and break this damned cycle of reincarnation.
But she couldn't do it.
Nobody can do it.
Gu Yuena's long silver hair moved without wind, and for the first time, a deep weariness and sorrow were revealed on her exquisite face.
As the Lord of Soul Beasts, she carried the fate of her entire race and struggled for ten thousand years.
She thought her fate was already heavy enough.
But compared to this cycle that has lasted for billions of years, what is her ten thousand years?
"This is no longer a trial..."
A'Dai, formerly Mandun the God of Death, has a hoarse voice.
"This is... an experiment."
His words sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Just then, the constantly looping image on the Light Screen finally froze.
A new, even colder line of text appeared at the very top of all the images.
[In each cycle, only a tiny argument is adjusted.]
Experiment!
A'Dai's words have been proven true!
This is not punishment, not Curse, not destruction for the sake of destruction.
This is a cold and ruthless experiment that has lasted for billions of years, using a civilization and a Solar System as its petri dish!
The End Law User is not destroying them.
Instead, they were "observing" them!
This realization, more so than anything before, sent a chill down the spines of all the Gods present.
Tang San could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and the tremor that originated from the depths of his soul.
He wasn't afraid.
It's anger!
I am utterly outraged by this behavior that treats all things as worthless and civilization as a plaything!
"Click--"
A soft, crisp sound rang out around him.
It wasn't him who crushed his fist.
Instead, the Void around him, unable to withstand his momentary loss of control over the God King's might, developed fine, dark cracks.
[A Review of the Myriad Worlds: Top Ten Shocking Scenes!]
On the Light Screen, the previous image slowly faded away, replaced by a deep and magnificent starry sky.
New gilded characters slowly emerged.
[Honkai 2 World Lines]
Just one line of text, yet it made everyone's hearts tighten.
It's a completely new world.
Before everyone could process this information, the scene suddenly shifted, revealing a magnificent spectacle that delivered an unparalleled visual impact.
They were Sky City suspended above the sea of clouds, with extremely unique architectural styles. There were towering skyscrapers that rose from the ground, flashing with neon lights and flowing light, full of the texture of futuristic technology; and there were ancient and solemn Gothic churches, with spires piercing the clouds, as if praying to the Gods.
The aircraft weaved through the buildings like schools of fish, and on the ground, people's clothing was also a mix of styles; some wore high-tech, tight-fitting combat suits, while others wore robes that resembled those of medieval ascetics.
In this world, human civilization has embarked on a completely different path.
They are fusing cutting-edge technology with ancient mythology in an attempt to combat the apocalyptic catastrophe known as the ' Honkai '.
"A fusion of technology and mythology?"
Tang San's eyes instantly sharpened.
Technology was a word that was both familiar and distant to him. It belonged to the Remembrance of his previous Tang Sect in the Tang Clan, the art of gunpowder, mechanisms, and poisons. Mythology, on the other hand, was the world he now inhabited, the reality of Deity, Divine Power, and the Divine Realm.
How to combine these two?
How is that possible!
One relies on precise calculations that depend on external aids, while the other relies on extraordinary power to tap into one's own potential; the two are fundamentally at odds!
"Interesting..." In Huo Yuhao's eyes, the Eye of Destiny seemed to be turning slightly. He murmured to himself, "When Soul Tool Technology reaches its peak, perhaps... it really can touch the realm of mythology?"
He Caitou, standing next to him, was staring wide-eyed, his mouth agape, practically drooling.
"My God! What are those things flying around? Are they all-terrain self-propelled cannons equipped with Flying Soul Tool? They're so... so cool!"
To combat the Honkai, humanity established two massive organizations.
The screen was split in two.
To the left is a huge island floating thousands of feet in the sky, with countless holy white buildings standing on it. At the top of the huge church in the center, a huge cross emblem emits a soft light, as if Divine Kingdom has descended.
[Firstly, it is "the Schicksal".]
[A vast organization that governs the people through religious means and manages its armed forces through militaristic methods.]
"Schicksal?"
In the God Realm Central, the God of Goodness Lieyan and the God of Evil Jidong, seated on their divine thrones, exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
That word is far too arrogant.
To act on behalf of Heaven—what a spirit and ambition that is!
In the Star Luo Empire Palace on the Douluo Continent, Emperor Dai Hao frowned deeply.
"The combination of religion and military... is the structure that most easily unites people's hearts, but also most easily breeds dictatorship."
Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire nodded in deep agreement, a hint of apprehension flashing in his murky eyes.
Such a powerful force likely has a dominance that surpasses that of a secular empire.
[The core armed force of Schicksal is called "Valkyrie".]
In the scene, a group of spirited young women appeared.
They wore various forms of close-fitting armor, the lines of which were sleek and powerful. Behind them were thrusters that spewed blue Light Flame, and in their hands they held exaggeratedly designed Giant Sword, Long Spear, or high-tech cannons.
They traversed the ruins of the Honkai city, engaging in fierce battles with all sorts of terrifying monsters.
