I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [178]

20 Minutes Before the Arrival of [Honkai]

Aboard the Helios Transport Ship

A girl clad in an unusual outfit stepped out of a pitch-black rift in the sky.

She wore the armor of a Valkyrie—White Comet—but it was adorned with intricate patterns, deep black and faint violet lines tracing the edges of her clothing. One of her hands was covered in a black lace-like glove, from which flickered faint traces of Honkai energy, forming glowing pathways.

Behind her, six conical lances materialized, floating in a perfect formation, accompanied by three luminous feather-like sigils suspended in the air.

Her expression was cold, devoid of emotion. Her gaze swept across those below her with an air of dominance.

"Raiden Mei."

Lowering her head slightly, the girl curled her lips into a faint smile, softly calling out to the one who had once been her dearest friend.

"Come to me."

"Kiana…?"

Both Theresa and Raiden Mei gasped in unison.

"No… No, that’s not right."

Raiden Mei instinctively took a step back, her fingers tightening around the hilt of her sword as she shifted into a combat stance.

"That’s not Kiana."

Theresa quickly realized it as well. The clumsy, airheaded Kiana could never have been the same overwhelming presence before them now.

There was only one possible answer.

The person standing before them—this was not Kiana.

It was the other will that resided within her.

The Second Herrscher.

The Herrscher of the Void.

Sirin.

As Theresa processed this revelation, a transmission from Anti-Entropy’s Dr. Einstein came through.

"Based on the Honkai energy wavelength analysis, the signal from this ‘Kiana’ matches perfectly with the data we have on the Second Herrscher—the one responsible for the Siberian Honkai Disaster."

"This person standing before you is not Kiana. This is Sirin."

"Thanks for the warning, Dr. Einstein," Theresa whispered. "But I’ve already confirmed it with my own eyes. There’s no doubt—this is not Kiana."

Before she could finish speaking—

A pure white construct suddenly appeared before her, forming a cube that attempted to entrap her within its grasp.

Whoosh!

Theresa swiftly leaped backward, dodging just in time.

"I despise people whispering behind my back," Sirin murmured, the corners of her lips lifting into a cold smile.

With a mere flick of her fingers—

The six sleek, floating lances behind her instantly accelerated past the speed of sound, hurtling toward Theresa like a storm of death.

"Watch out, Principal!"

Raiden Mei surged forward, arcs of electricity crackling beneath her feet. Microcurrents stimulated her muscles and nerves, pushing her speed to the absolute limit in an instant.

Clang!

With a crisp, resonant sound, her blade was already unsheathed.

The 3rd Sacred Relic, a close-combat adaptive weapon, blurred through the air in a rapid succession of slashes, severing all six lances before they could reach their target.

"Interesting."

The Second Herrscher observed from above, amused.

She lazily waved her hand again.

"Then let’s see just how far your speed can take you, my ‘other half.’"

At her command, countless glowing rings materialized in the sky.

The rings rapidly expanded, spreading to fill the heavens above.

Within them, vast amounts of Honkai energy churned, coalescing into something deadly.

Hundreds of pure white spears emerged from within the rings, their sharpened tips all locking onto Raiden Mei.

Then, with a flick of Sirin’s wrist—

The Subspace Spears launched forward in a devastating barrage, each one breaking the sound barrier upon release. The air trembled with a deafening cacophony, as though an endless chain of explosions had been set off in the sky above Schicksal’s headquarters.

"Try not to die too quickly, my ‘other half’!"

20 Minutes Before the Arrival of [Honkai]

Feeling the overwhelming surge of Honkai energy erupting from the Third Air Terminal, Fu Hua reacted immediately.

She activated her personal terminal and dialed Otto’s direct communication line.

The call connected swiftly.

Without hesitation, she asked, "Archbishop Otto, what is happening? Why is the Herrscher of the Void no longer contained within Helheim Laboratory? Why has she appeared at the Third Air Terminal?"

"If I recall correctly, the Hyperion and your granddaughter, Theresa, are currently stationed in that area."

"You remember correctly," Otto responded, his voice devoid of emotion.

Hearing his answer, Fu Hua’s brows furrowed deeply. A suspicion took root in her mind.

Her tone grew heavy. "Archbishop Otto, I need to know—was this development accounted for in your plan?"

"Of course."

Otto’s response was immediate and unwavering.

"The Second Herrscher’s appearance, her escape from the lab, and her arrival at the Third Air Terminal—all of it is within my calculations. Nothing has deviated from my expectations."

"In fact, we are just about to begin Phase Two of the experiment."

"As I told you before—this is the phase where we use the human consciousness of Kiana Kaslana to overcome the Herrscher consciousness of Sirin. This is how we will obtain the true power of a Herrscher—one that belongs to humanity."

Fu Hua fell silent for a moment.

She turned slightly, exchanging glances with the man standing behind her—Zhongli.

His expression was calm, unreadable.

A sinking feeling weighed on Fu Hua’s heart. If her instincts were correct, then 80% of what she suspected was true.

She clenched her fists, taking a sharp breath before turning back to the screen.

"Archbishop Otto, tell me—what is your exact method? How do you intend to make Kiana Kaslana’s human consciousness defeat Sirin’s Herrscher consciousness?"

"It’s simple."

On the screen, Otto spread his arms wide, as though embracing the future itself.

"It’s love."

"It’s emotion."

"Herrscher do not understand the power of the human heart. They do not comprehend the meaning of love. All we need to do is awaken Kiana’s love—and that love will naturally overpower Sirin’s will, even consuming it entirely. This has already been proven by the Third and Fourth Herrschers."

"I have always believed that the bonds between people will transform into the purest and strongest force."

"In the two years that K-423 has spent at St. Freya Academy, the bonds she has formed are unbreakable."

"These warm, cherished memories will become K-423’s power—one that will shatter the heart of a Herrscher who knows nothing of love."

Otto crossed his arms, his golden eyes narrowing, as if cradling the entire world in his hands.

Fu Hua inhaled sharply. Her voice was quiet, yet firm.

"And how exactly do you plan to awaken Kiana’s ‘love’?"

A faint smile curved Otto’s lips.

"Through sacrifice."

"Sacrifice will awaken love."

His voice was cold, devoid of hesitation.

He spoke the word that Fu Hua had known, deep down, from the very start.

The word that had haunted her countless times before.

Sacrifice.
