Within the World

Schicksal Headquarters – Third Air Terminal

The [Sanctuary Barrier] descended once more, its golden radiance enveloping the battlefield for a full minute.

Yet the girl who called herself Kiana Kaslana remained unaffected—her overwhelming Honkai energy showed no sign of dissipating.

Or rather, however much energy was stripped from her, an equal amount surged forth from the Imaginary Space, replenishing her instantly.

The Divine Grace Barrier had no effect on her connection to the Imaginary Space.

Unmatched. Terrifying. Invincible.

This was not an enemy humankind could defeat.

Theresa Apocalypse reached a grim conclusion.

She knelt on the ground, her battle-worn skirt armor stained with dirt.

Her small, frail body had never seemed weaker than at this moment.

"Kiana…"

"My godmother, my Academy Dean… the one who granted me my name."

The Herrscher of Finality advanced toward her, step by step.

"A life spent fighting against Honkai. A life dedicated to saving humanity."

"Such a small body—yet carrying a heart vast enough to protect the world."

"...."

Theresa clutched her chest, her gaze shifting around her surroundings.

Bronya.

Raiden Mei.

Murata Himeko.

They were all dead.

Killed by the Herrscher of Finality standing before her.

No hope of saving them.

No chance to reverse this outcome.

Now—she was next.

—Grandfather, is this the ending you envisioned?

—Kiana, is this the future you desired?

—I’m sorry, Cecilia.

—I failed to save you.

—I failed to save Kiana.

—And now… even I—

A searing pain cut off her thoughts.

She stared coldly at her shattered limbs, feeling the agony burrow into her very bones.

Her blood pooled beneath her, her life draining away with it.

Yet she did not scream.

She did not struggle.

She simply closed her eyes, allowing a single tear to slip down her cheek.

—Grandfather, I’m sorry.

—I couldn’t correct your mistakes.

Beyond the World

Within the River of History – February 17, 2000

Babylon Tower, Siberia

"[Judas: Zero Power Mode—Sanctuary Barrier]!"

In an instant, a massive golden gear spread across the entire sky.

Brilliant golden light repelled all foreign energy.

Under its influence, all Honkai energy and its derivatives vanished without a trace.

The Second Herrscher—Sirin—collapsed to the ground as her power was abruptly severed.

Her violet eyes widened in shock as she stared at the small girl standing before her.

A flicker of fear crept into her expression.

"Impossible…"

She had only just obtained four Herrscher Cores, yet she was already powerless before she could even wield them properly.

"NO… NO!!"

She screamed in rage, but no matter how she struggled—the limitless Honkai energy she once commanded was gone.

Clang! Clang!

Golden chains descended from the sky, shooting out from the pure-gold gears above.

In an instant, they bound Sirin tightly to the ground.

Theresa Apocalypse raised [Judas’ Oath], its form shifting into a sharp golden blade.

With unwavering determination—

She drove it straight into Sirin’s heart.

Blood splattered across the cold ground.

Theresa watched as Sirin's body gradually fell still.

Then, as the golden gears above began dissipating into golden particles, she collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion.

With a heavy sigh, she parted her lips to speak.

Thud—

A footstep echoed behind her.

Theresa’s body stiffened.

She whipped her head around, her instincts on high alert.

Standing there was a young man dressed in traditional Liyue robes.

"Who are you?"

She tried to stand—but quickly realized that the Barrier had drained far more of her strength than expected.

Just maintaining it for one minute had left her completely paralyzed.

"You won’t kill Sirin like this."

The man’s voice was calm, emotionless.

His golden eyes gazed down at her as he spoke.

"The power of the Gem of Tranquility will allow her to gradually regenerate, even from the brink of death."

"Striking her heart alone will not finish her."

"…What?!"

Theresa turned her gaze back toward Sirin—

And sure enough—

The girl’s body was twitching—slowly but surely stirring once more.

Her eyes widened in horror.

"Th-this…"

She couldn’t believe it.

Yet the truth was unfolding before her very eyes.

She had no choice but to accept it.

"You… Who are you? Do you have a solution?"

She desperately clung to this last thread of hope.

"Yes. Otherwise, I would not be here."

The young man nodded.

"So tell me, Theresa Apocalypse—"

"Are you willing to make a contract with me?"

"I shall bring you a better future."

"And in return—you will owe me a single promise."

"When the time comes, you will fulfill that promise."

"YES—YES!"

Theresa nodded frantically.

"I will pay any price—please help me!"

"Then—our contract is sealed."

A soft voice.

A radiant golden light erupted from the man’s body, illuminating Babylon Tower like a temple of gold.

The young man raised his hand.

Golden energy condensed in his palm, forming into a small sphere of light.

"Come forth."

His voice was neither commanding nor pleading—merely a statement of fact.

Theresa didn’t understand his words.

But in the next moment—

She saw it.

Emerging from Sirin’s trembling body—

Something unimaginable took form.

Her mind screamed.

Her very nerves recoiled.

Her body froze.

FEAR.

HORROR.

Blood-red tears began dripping from her eyes.

"Don’t look," the young man murmured.

"Don’t be afraid."

"I will handle it."

He gently patted her head, stepping forward to shield her gaze from the monstrous entity before them.

"Hehehehehe…!"

A raspy, inhuman laughter echoed from Sirin’s body.

She convulsed.

Her eyes, no longer her own, turned toward the man before her.

[You… what do you think you’re doing?]

Through the Herrscher’s body—

The Will of Honkai spoke its first words in the River of History.

"What does it look like?"

Zhongli’s voice remained calm, indifferent.

"I am traversing time."

[Hmph. Futile.]

The Will of Honkai declared.

[I have already grasped control over this timeline.]

[You cannot change what has already been determined.]

"Is that so?"

Zhongli raised his palm.

The golden sphere in his grasp shone brighter.

"You are already afraid, Will of Honkai."

"But no matter how much you fear—"

"You cannot stop me."

"I will rewrite the history of this world cluster."

"And you—"

"Will cease to exist."

"That is the result I proclaim."
