"This is the last paradise of the apocalypse, and the destined final tomb of the Flame-Chasers."
As the voice echoed, a translucent crystal appeared out of thin air.
At last, it fell into a pale hand.
"All that remains here are a few rather interesting stories."
"Of that distant past, of thirteen heroes who were never crowned."
The images shifted, and captions appeared.
IV: Eden [Gold]
VII: Su [Bodhi]
Eden raised her wineglass high, her expression proud.
"A toast to this vast world! May time stand still at this moment, and may this world shine as brilliantly as gold!"
Behind her, Su rested against a tree.
A breeze swept past, stirring his hair.
The entire venue erupted in an instant.
Both Eden's stunning beauty and Su's cool, handsome looks utterly captivated the audience.
The promotional video was not over.
VI: Kalpas [Discipline]
VIII: Sakura [Setsuna]
Sakura held the hilt at her waist, her gaze fixed on Kalpas beside her.
"Enough, Kalpas."
"That girl is already dead. There is no point in continuing this slaughter."
Kalpas wore a mask, with the remains of a Honkai Beast beneath his feet.
A ruined city formed the backdrop.
He answered with a sneer.
"Slaughter never had any meaning."
"But their deaths must have [meaning]!"
With every Flame-Chaser's appearance, the atmosphere grew more feverish.
X: Mobius [Infinity]
XII: Hua [Existing in the World]
Mobius's serpentine eyes watched Hua's every move.
She observed every timeline Hua had experienced.
She spoke softly.
"Death is not the end."
"Life evolves through death, and is thus born anew."
"Yes, we will redefine what it means to be [human]!"
I: Kevin [Deliverance]
The voice from the beginning returned.
"Kevin."
"It is not only heroes who can save the world."
"Rather, because you saved the world, you are called a hero."
