The Boy's Prophecy Heralds the End; the Moon-Scarred Vigilante Falls to Kindness
Amidst the raging, golden-red sea of fire, the sound of unhurried footsteps suddenly rang out, and the figure of a white-haired man gradually became clear from the flames, unharmed by the fierce heavenly fire.
It was as if... the other party was the god who controlled the flames.
"With flames of this intensity, you can't even touch Kevin's shadow."
If it were that man, he could freeze the heavenly fire completely with his own power.
With a calm expression, Shi Hen walked out of the sea of fire as if walking on flat ground, and easily grasped the Phoenix Incinerator in Kiana's hand with two fingers.
"You—let me go right now!"
Shouting angrily, Kiana struggled to take back the Phoenix Incinerator.
No matter how hard she tried, the greatsword seemed to be firmly clamped in a vise and could not be shaken at all.
"Being too reliant on external things is not a good habit. Let me teach you a lesson."
If you can't even break your own weapon, then you're not qualified to possess it.
He spoke slowly and deliberately, his ring Shi Hen he flicked the sword lightly.
When--
A mournful sword cry rang out, and the Divine Key, passed down from the Previous Civilization Era, instantly broke into several pieces.
Upon seeing this, Kiana's pupils dilated in shock, and her face was filled with disbelief.
She had always believed in the power of the Phoenix Incinerator, and never imagined that this Divine Key would one day break.
Moreover, why was it broken so decisively and directly?
Before the girl could even register her surprise, Shi Hen slapped the white-haired girl in the stomach, and then...
[Detected Herrscher of Void Flame, current Awakening Level: 100%]
Are we in sync?
Seeing the semi-transparent subtitles pop up again, Shi Hen finally gave his answer this time:
Synchronization!
In Setsuna, an incredibly violent energy tide took shape, and wave after wave of terrifying power spread outward from Shi Hen and Kiana as the center, causing Wendy and Anna, who were just about to intervene in the rescue, to pause in their tracks. They could only resist the impact while looking anxiously at the white-haired girl.
From the perspective of the others, the white-haired man appeared to have removed some invisible object from Kiana's body, causing the girl's body to collapse completely in the next second.
Instead, the white-haired man exuded an aura of Herrscher that was remarkably similar to Kiana's.
Kiana!
Unable to contain herself, Bronya shouted loudly, instantly becoming anxious.
With his gaze sweeping over the group of girls who had gone almost mad, Shi Hen naturally wouldn't explain the truth that Kiana had only temporarily fainted due to the shock.
With a flash, Shi Hen stepped into the air and looked down at the blond man. "Bishop Otto, are you ready to set off?"
As he spoke, Shi Hen slowly conjured an orange-gold lightsaber in his hand.
Although it's less than the CG drawn by Lao Yang, he can still accept this small error as long as the final result is correct.
Moreover, if this continues, this space will soon accumulate enough Honkai Energy to reverse five hundred years of time.
Even five months seemed unbearable; if another five hundred years were to pass... he suspected he would have to switch to farming mode, and even St. Freya Kindergarten would be thriving.
"Heh, then let me see what you've got, [Welt White]..."
Facing the white-haired man had seized the Herrscher Authority of the Void through unknown means, Otto simply chuckled softly, his face showing no fear or apprehension, but rather an expression of relief.
With his long-cherished wish of five hundred years about to be fulfilled, he felt that nothing else mattered anymore.
As for [Welt White]... in the reopened world, he will ensure that the other party has no chance to be born.
The savior of the new world only needs Kallen!
Seeing the expression on Otto's face, Shi Hen didn't hesitate for long. He slashed down with his orange-gold lightsaber, which had already stretched for several miles, drawing a perfect golden cross on Otto's body.
Boom--
At the intersection of the cross, a spatial vortex suddenly formed, and Otto's connection with the Imaginary Tree was instantly severed.
The loss of his false godhood turned his original "infinite" into "finite," and the surging energy that erupted immediately brought Otto's death to a close.
Amidst the spatial tremors, a new line of semi-transparent subtitles appeared before Shi Hen:
[The Herrscher of Binding has been detected...]
Authority detected – Constraint· Imaginary Authority, to synchronize?
A smile involuntarily crept onto the lips beneath the mask, Shi Hen nodded without hesitation.
In Setsuna, the Imaginary Space, which had been trembling and seemed about to collapse completely at any moment, immediately stabilized, and the Great Honkai energy accumulated in the dilapidated temple surged toward the Shi Hen like rivers flowing into the sea.
Chapter 207 The Young Man's Decree Finality; Moon's Heroism Fails Due to Benevolence
"[Welt White] is absorbing the power of a false god?"
Sensing the surge of Honkai Energy within the space, Bronya's usually expressionless face immediately darkened.
"I told you Otto was unreliable! He's dead and he's left us with a ton of trouble!"
Schariac jumped out from behind Fu Hua again and cursed.
"We must stop him!"
With a deep voice, Wendy immediately drew her longbow to its full extent, and a sky-blue light arrow instantly materialized, with fine, wispy blue light spiraling around it.
Beside her, aside from Seele frantically nursing the white-haired girl and the exhausted Bronya, Anna lowered her waist while holding her lance. The ice and snow patterns on the white lance slowly lit up, and a terrifyingly low temperature, almost absolute zero, emanated from the girl.
"Xiao Shi."
He called out softly, Fu Hua formed a sword finger with his right hand, and the pattern of the Chiyuan Divine Bird reappeared behind the girl.
"I know, I know, it's always the same. You really can't live without me!"
While complaining, Schariac quickly made the exact same move as Fu Hua, and the originally Chiyuan Divine Bird was immediately imbued with Divine Resonance, as if it would spread its wings and fly away in the next second.
"An ant trying to shake a tree is nothing more than the struggle of ants."
Shihen glanced at Wendy and the others indifferently, Shi Hen one hand. A bright, moon-like light condensed into a plum blossom shape in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, it layered up to seven.
Even if we are as insignificant as ants, we will not let you destroy this world!
With a sweet shout, Wendy's trembling fingers finally released the bowstring.
Call out!
Embracing the girl's determination and expectations, the azure spiraling beam of light pierced through space in an instant, and with overwhelming force, it shattered the first layer of the flower-shaped shield. The second layer of the shield offered only slight resistance before being completely destroyed.
After countless cracks appeared on the third layer as well, the finally exhausted spiral light arrow slowly dissipated.
But just a second later, a white lance arrived.
"As long as we have the strength to fight, we will never let you succeed!"
Anna said earnestly, and the white lance she threw with all her might instantly pierced through the already damaged third layer of shield.
Bang! Bang!
Two crisp sounds rang out in succession, and the white lance finally collapsed and dissipated into ice and snow after shattering the fifth layer of the flower-shaped shield.
"Compared to 50,000 years ago, this era has changed a lot."
I have faith in the people of this era, and I believe in the path they have chosen.
"Firmly, "Fu Hua said with a soft shout. The Chiyuan Divine Bird, now in perfect form, flapped its wings and rushed towards the white-haired man in the air. Its wings spread wide, resembling a peerless divine sword forged to its limit.
Boom--
Chiyuan a cry, the sixth layer of shield instantly dissipated into countless points of light, and the crimson divine bird, carrying unparalleled sword intent, finally crashed into the last layer of protection.
In Setsuna, the divine bird wrapped in crimson flames shone brightly, and the white light shield shaped like plum blossoms flickered with light, with fine, spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spreading across it.
The two were locked in a stalemate for a long time, but in the end, the plum blossom light shield prevailed, and although it was full of cracks, it did not completely break.
But as the Chiyuan Divine Bird faded and disappeared, Shi Hen also felt a powerful mental shock, causing his body to sway slightly.
As the ultimate move of the Taixu Sword Qi, Divine Resonance does not rely on physical destructive power, but rather on a mental attack that is constantly forged and honed like a precious sword until it reaches its sharpest edge.
However, for Shi Hen, whose various attributes were already almost maxed out, this attack was nothing more than that.
"Hehehe, if you can do this much, I'll just give you a tacit approval."
He chuckled softly, and the surging aura emanating from Shi Hen gradually subsided into tranquility.
"No matter what, we will not let you act recklessly!"
Taking a deep breath, Bronya suppressed her trembling and exhaustion, trying her best to squeeze out the last bit of power from the already overburdened Herrscher Core, and once again constructed a Heavy-duty Bunny beside her.
"But determination alone is not enough to stop me."
Shihen smiled at Bronya's determination Shi Hen spread his hands out, "However, this time you can rest assured."
The authority of [Constraint] has come to an end, and the apostles of [Erosion] have been defeated. As for the blank thirteen... Hua, you should know what that number means.
The Finality moment is approaching, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of show you'll put on!
"The Herrscher of Erosion has been eliminated? When!?"
Upon noticing the white-haired man's choice of words, Wendy's expression immediately changed.
The annihilation of the Herrscher of Domination was only a short time ago, and now the Finality is fast approaching?
"Maybe it was five minutes ago."
He said calmly, Shi Hen let out a low laugh, "Then let us meet again at the Finality of the world, brave warriors who fight for love."
Shi Hen's body instantly disintegrated into countless points of light, and the terrifying impact spread out, causing Bronya and the others to tremble. They hurriedly did their best to resist so as not to be knocked away.
"Uh... [Welt White] committed suicide?"
He scratched his cheek and said, his Schariac full of doubt.
Judging from the commotion just now, it didn't look like a normal way to escape!
Moreover... looking around at the completely collapsed Imaginary Space, where even the real world's scenery had become clearly visible, Schariac's confusion deepened even further.
"Impossible."
Shaking his head, Fu Hua said, although there was a hint of confusion on his face, his tone was extremely firm, "Since he said that the Finality is coming soon, he must be preparing for it."
Given Welt White's personality, she didn't believe the other party would choose to end their own life.
Bronya thinks so too.
Bronya nodded gently in agreement.
She didn't believe the other party was really dead, since not even a rare piece of equipment had dropped.
"Tch! We fought Otto for so long, and this bastard stole all the credit, even taking Kiana's power. It's infuriating!"
Without dwelling on the matter, Schariac began to grumble indignantly.
"With the power of the false god, Bai will definitely be more troublesome than before."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hua couldn't help but sigh, looking at the still unconscious white-haired girl, her eyes filled with deep helplessness and regret.
Even though Kiana doesn't seem to be in any immediate danger, the loss of her authority and the breaking of the Phoenix Incinerator mean it will likely be a long time before she recovers from this ordeal.
But do they really have that much time left?
Thinking of Welt White's last words, Fu Hua's mood instantly became extremely heavy.
"Fu Hua, what's the deal with the Thirteenth Herrscher? Why did Welt White say that after the corruption Finality?"
Noticing this as well, Wendy couldn't help but ask.
In this era, both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy have prophecies circulating within them about the Fourteen Herrscher.
Therefore, Wendy has always believed that only after the thirteenth Herrscher is defeated will the world welcome the final Fourteenth Herrscher — the Herrscher of Finality.
But now, not only has the Herrscher of Erosion been secretly defeated, but the thirteenth rank has also suddenly disappeared. It seems that this world has come to an end in an instant, leaving Wendy somewhat at a loss.
"The matter of the Thirteenth Herrscher is complicated. Let's return to the Hyperion for now."
Facing the gazes cast upon her by Bronya and the others, Fu Hua sighed and said.
Even though there are still many gaps in her memories of the Previous Civilization Era, a deep sadness still wells up in her heart whenever the name of the Thirteenth Herrscher flashes through her mind.
