I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [205]

— Why?

— Why is my father, who has long since died, standing before me?

The Herrscher of Finality froze momentarily, but in the next instant, she regained her composure.

The man before her was not her father.

He was the father of K-423 and this world’s Kiana Kaslana.

Her gaze hardened as she swept her eyes over the crowd of impossibly resurrected individuals. A cold smile curled at the corners of her lips.

"I don’t know how you all came back to life. Perhaps this is nothing more than an illusion created by a [Divine Key]."

"But it doesn’t matter. I’ll just erase you all again."

Beneath that cruel smile, fresh tears spilled once more.

"It’s just… another ending. Another farewell…"

"Another chance to kill you with my own hands…"

Before she could finish speaking, a soft voice interrupted her.

"Kiana… what’s wrong?"

A girl with violet hair, her expression as harmless as a small animal’s, suddenly spoke up—Sirin, the former Second Herrscher.

"Kiana, why did you suddenly become a Herrscher?"

"…Huh?"

The Herrscher of Finality tilted her head, confused by Sirin’s familiar tone.

"That’s right, Kiana."

A gentle voice followed.

"Did something upset you? Did Uncle Otto do something to hurt you? Tell me, sweetheart—Mama will go beat him up for you."

Cecilia walked toward her with a warm smile, extending her hand.

"Talk to me, my love. Your sadness, your pain—I’ll bear them for you. Okay?"

"Even if you’ve become a Herrscher, don’t let the will of Honkai control you."

Raiden Mei stepped forward as well, clad in an ominous armor, her body radiating the unrestrained power of the Third Herrscher.

Violent arcs of lightning crackled in the air around her, carrying the sharp scent of ozone.

"I believe in you, Kiana. I know you can overcome the will of Honkai—just like I did."

"Yes! Just like I did!"

Sirin nodded vigorously, her violet hair bouncing as she spoke excitedly.

"The Second Herrscher inside me is actually pretty reasonable! We get along just fine!"

"…What?"

Kiana Kaslana felt nothing but question marks filling her mind.

"Mm-hmm! Herrscher powers are just a gift from the will of Honkai!"

A calm and composed voice suddenly rang out beside her.

A pitch-black void opened before the Herrscher of Finality.

From within, a man in a white dress shirt and black coat stepped forward—Welt Joyce.

He spoke matter-of-factly.

"Overcome its desire for destruction. Use your human will to shackle it, and in doing so, grant yourself greater freedom."

"Just like the laws of civilization—only through restraint can true freedom be achieved. To be free, one must first accept the burden of order."

"Kiana, I know you can do it. Master this power, just like I did. Just like Mei, just like Sirin, just like all of us—wield the Herrscher’s power with your own heart."

"…Hah?!"

Kiana Kaslana shut her eyes.

This has to be an illusion. I must have fallen into one of Fu Hua’s [Fenghuang Down] techniques.

But no matter how deeply she searched her memories, she found no trace of tampering.

Everything about this world felt real.

So impossibly perfect—so absurdly miraculous—that it felt like a dream.

— Heh. Overcome the will of Honkai? You must be joking.

Ever since awakening as the Herrscher of Finality, Kiana had watched herself carry out every act of destruction with complete clarity.

She had regretted killing those she loved.

She had fought against the urge to annihilate the world.

But no sooner had such thoughts formed than they would be wiped away—erased without a trace.

Her body, her will—

They were nothing more than extensions of the will of Honkai.

Her mind simply did not allow her to think in opposition to it.

— You all speak as if it’s so easy.

— You have no idea what it’s like to be me!!!

"Ahhhhhh——!!"

A terrible distortion surged within her.

A searing pain erupted from deep inside.

Kiana clutched her head in agony, curling into a ball high above the heavens.

The light-like wings behind her collapsed inward, forming layers of radiant cocoons around her.

An unrelenting torrent of Honkai Energy—enough to destroy the planet’s surface—began expanding outward.

Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac reacted immediately.

Cecilia shouted back toward the others.

"Theresa! Deploy the [Sanctuary Barrier]! If we don’t contain this Honkai Energy, all of Europe—no, the entire world—will be wiped out!"

Standing further away, Theresa didn’t need to be told twice.

She slammed her massive golden cross into the ground.

A radiant barrier instantly enveloped the entire Schicksal headquarters, nullifying the expanding Honkai Energy completely.

"This level of Honkai Energy is insane…"

Theresa activated her communicator, relaying the situation to her grandfather.

"Grandpa Otto, why did Kiana become a Herrscher? Is this your doing?!"

"Impossible."

A holographic projection of Otto appeared.

He was wearing a silk robe, golden hair cascading in waves as he reclined comfortably.

Even after five centuries, his face remained untouched by time.

"According to my calculations, K-423 was never meant to awaken at this stage. I don’t have the right cards to control her yet."

"…Huh?"

Theresa narrowed her eyes.

"The latest readings show K-423’s Honkai Energy at 20,000,000 HW."

Otto shrugged.

"This level of energy, according to Dr. MEI and Dr. Zhongli’s research notes, is exclusive to the Herrscher of Finality."

"Danzhu and Cangxuan’s records also support this finding."

"Meaning, the K-423 before us is undoubtedly the Herrscher of Finality. But why? The other Herrschers haven’t even emerged yet."

"Could this still be your doing?" Theresa demanded again.

Otto sighed.

"I don’t know. You know me, Theresa—I may be ruthless, but I don’t treat human lives as disposable. Even Schicksal’s experiments were conducted with the subjects’ consent. They were warriors willing to give their lives to fight Honkai."

"The plan to create a Kiana clone was no secret. Siegfried and Cecilia knew about it. They may have disapproved, but they didn’t object."

His golden eyes softened with nostalgia.

"Just as you and your grandmother, Kallen Kaslana, had your own choices."

"Tch. You may be my grandfather, and Kallen may be my grandmother, but you two have nothing to do with each other!"

Theresa huffed before refocusing.

"So what do we do now?"

"The same as always."

Otto spread his arms with absolute certainty.

"Love."

"Use love to awaken Kiana’s true will. Help her overcome Honkai."

"Just as we always have. The Herrscher of Erosion, the Third Herrscher, the Second Herrscher—we’ve saved them all with love. The Herrscher of Finality will be no different!"

"The will of Honkai, with all its destruction and cruelty, can never overpower a heart filled with love. I have always believed this to be true."

Theresa hung up without a word.

She turned to Siegfried and Cecilia, who were approaching the cocoon of radiant wings.

"My [Sanctuary Barrier] can hold for 90 more seconds. Within that time, you must reach Kiana’s consciousness."

"If you fail… the consequences will be catastrophic."

"Her Honkai Energy is 20,000,000 HW—enough to obliterate Earth itself."

"I know."

Siegfried grinned, flashing his teeth.

He gave her a thumbs-up.

Beyond the World.

The River of History.

One year before the descent of the Final Herrscher in the Previous Era.

"We lost."

Kevin Kaslana—the strongest MANTIS warrior—slumped to the ground in defeat.

He wasn’t physically exhausted.

But the crushing void in his heart refused to fade.

"How?"

Hua and Zhongli, having just freed the base personnel from [Fenghuang Down] illusions, exchanged glances in confusion.

"…Why do you say we lost?"
