I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [189]

One Minute Before Honkai’s Descent

Outside Schicksal Headquarters, aboard a battleship, Otto Apocalypse sat in silence, watching the events unfolding at the Third Air Terminal.

[Warning! Warning!!!]

[Detected: High-density Honkai energy reaction.]

[Honkai energy levels exceeding limits. Possible Fourth Honkai Eruption detected.]

[Warning! Warning!!!]

[Honkai energy readings continue to escalate beyond known thresholds.]

[Current Honkai energy level: 1,733,445 HW.]

[Category X Emergency Alert.]

Otto’s expression darkened as he stared at the large screen before him.

The sheer density of the Honkai energy gathering at the Third Air Terminal was enough to make him uneasy.

Meanwhile, reports from his staff continued to stream in.

“Honkai energy levels have now surpassed the highest readings recorded during the Second Eruption.”

“Honkai energy from across the European continent and even the sky itself is converging toward this point.”

“According to monitoring stations worldwide, the global concentration of Honkai energy has been rapidly declining since two minutes ago.”

“The drop is accelerating. Global Honkai levels decreasing by 5%… 5.1%… 5.2%...”

“Meanwhile, Honkai energy at the Third Air Terminal continues to rise. Current reading: 2,000,000 HW.”

The mounting reports only made Otto’s expression darker.

He had known that his experiment had already spiraled out of his control the moment Fu Hua revealed her hidden trump card.

But this…

This was beyond anything he had anticipated.

2,000,000 HW.

If an ordinary Herrscher’s Honkai reading was 10,000 HW, then what was before them now was two hundred times that—and still rising.

Seated in his chair, Otto’s golden eyes remained locked on the screen.

Through the drones' footage, the Third Air Terminal came into view—now visibly brimming with an almost tangible density of Honkai energy.

A blinding radiance shone across the sky.

The experimental subject once known as K-423…

Was undergoing a transformation.

Becoming something divine.

—No. Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

—The Dead Sea Scrolls never recorded this.

—The Void Archives never once mentioned such a phenomenon.

—The "gods" cannot interfere directly in this world. That is an iron-clad law of reality.

—Then what…? What is K-423 turning into?

A Herrscher?

—No. That’s absurd.

As his thoughts raced—

The girl floating in midair—K-423—slowly opened her eyes.

Her irises, once azure, were now a serene gold.

No joy. No sorrow.

Twin golden rings nested within her pupils as she cast her gaze across the world below.

And then—

The screen before Otto flickered with static.

A few seconds later—

The drone footage from the Third Air Terminal was cut off entirely.

Otto hesitated only for a moment before issuing a command.

"Prepare additional Honkai fission bombs. I want the Third Air Terminal completely annihilated."

"Immediately. No delays."

—This is the only option left. There is no other way.

—But even this… Even this may not be enough to stop that being.

—Theresa… I’m sorry.

—Because that… that is the Final Herrscher.

—The harbinger of civilization’s end. The Herald of Honkai’s God.

Otto slowly closed his eyes, emptying his mind.

Kallen… I can no longer save you.

This world is about to meet its end. Perhaps… this will be our shared funeral.

She opened her golden eyes.

Not like a newborn waking for the first time.

But as if she had already witnessed eternity.

Her twin-ringed pupils gazed silently at the figures before her.

"Headmistress Theresa…"

Like a celestial being, Kiana hovered high above, her luminous wings of light unfurled.

Her voice was soft, almost affectionate.

"…Huh?"

Hearing the voice, Theresa’s face lit up with joy.

She turned to Zhongli, seeking confirmation.

But Zhongli only shook his head—slowly, silently.

"Teacher Himeko…"

Kiana continued, calling out each person below.

Her voice bore none of the arrogance, the cruelty that once defined the Second Herrscher, Sirin.

"Bronya…!"

"…"

"And Mei… You’re here too!"

A single tear formed at the corner of her eye.

She seemed to want to sob, to weep—

But she couldn’t.

Her face remained still. Expressionless. Emotionless.

Yet, she raised her hand.

And reached out.

"Mei."

Raiden Mei’s breath hitched.

Joy. Relief. Love.

Overwhelmed, she took two steps forward, reaching out to grasp Kiana’s hand—

But then—

Zhongli stepped in front of her.

Blocking her path.

"She is not Kiana."

Mei froze.

She stood behind Zhongli, staring up at the radiant figure above—her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

"Then… is it still Sirin?"

Himeko rested her massive Aurora Slaughter Blade on her shoulder, stepping forward with a casual stance.

She looked up at Kiana, frowning.

“No.” Zhongli shook his head.

"I do not know who she is, but it is certain that she is not the Kiana you once knew."

"Her will—her soul—was sent through that gate. What stands before you now was sent down from the moon—from the Will of Honkai itself."

"Which means…" Bronya, the only one still capable of logical thought, whispered the inevitable conclusion.

"This being… is neither Sirin nor Kiana."

"Then who is she?"

"Bronya…"

The celestial girl spoke once more.

Her voice was calm. Almost kind.

"I am Kiana."

She declared it.

"I am Kiana Kaslana. A descendant of House Kaslana—one of Schicksal’s Three Great Families."

"My father is Siegfried Kaslana. My mother—Cecilia Schariac."

"You…"

Theresa’s voice trembled. She did not know what to say.

The girl in the sky continued speaking, smiling gently.

"My godmother… You are here this time as well. Across countless ages… countless cycles… there were so many times when you weren’t. But this time… this time, how fortunate."

None of them understood what she meant.

And then—

She spoke her final declaration.

"I… the Final Herrscher, Kiana Kaslana, the most perfect creation of Honkai—"

"—shall once more bring about your deaths."

"To fulfill the conclusion of this endless cycle."

For the first time—

A single tear slipped down her cheek.

"I’m sorry."

"And—"

"—Die."
