Watching movies on Bengbu, you guys are a bit too normal.

The last thing the girl saw was the crowd cheering beside her corpse, shouting, "We've destroyed another Herrscher!"

However, no one expected the power of the twelfth Herrscher, the "Herrscher of Erosion"—

It began to manifest from the moment the girl died.

People's fear and hatred towards the Lawgiver are destined to never dissipate. The two sides, who are naturally hostile, will ultimately not give up their hatred because of a miracle that is almost impossible to exist.

Such tragedies could happen anytime, anywhere in some world or some corner.

He had long realized that the flawed order could not truly shape the world he envisioned.

Then how can I save everyone and create a truly perfect world?

March 7th covered her mouth, staring in disbelief at the scenes unfolding on the screen.

The sight of the unarmed girl lying in a pool of blood came into her view, causing her eyes to widen in shock.

"Chang Yeyue, let her sleep for a while."

Behind him at 7:00 AM on March 7th, Chang Yeyue glanced at Dan Heng and nodded slightly.

An endless chill emanated from the throne of the World Serpent. Had it not been intentionally controlled by the one at the center of the chill, this chill could have frozen an entire continent in an instant.

She knew she was weak, but if she had been in the base at the time and knew where Ling was, she could have pried open the cell door and taken her away.

In that case, Sakura wouldn't have "left," right?

"...Sister Sakura, I'm not reconciled..."

I had thought about forming a "Kenjiri Alliance" with you, but I gave up because you're allergic to cat fur.

But you said you would introduce yourself to your sister, who loves small animals, especially... cats.

"I'm really not reconciled... Sakura... Sister..."

"I'm terrified of death, but this feeling of resentment..."

"It's worse than death..."

So this is the truth behind all of this...

Sakura's eyes gradually dimmed, and she leaned against the wall, slowly sitting down.

"Never give up hope of fighting against the Honkai."

This was a precept she set in the hearts of every warrior, yet for some reason it made their hatred for the Herrscher reach a fanatical level.

She clearly knew everything, yet she could never stop herself from committing sins and mistakes.

A boundless rage surged from Qianjie's body, causing even the Paradise itself to tremble greatly.

He once again displayed unparalleled rage, just as he had when he learned of Ling's death.

Mei, sensing this power, was about to draw her sword, but the next moment, a chill emerged from the other end of Paradise, a chill that could even pierce into a person's body and soul.

"...It seems that things are not so simple." Mei closed her eyes. Now that Kevin had made a move, there was no need to worry for the time being.

Next, let yourself search for the truth of what happened back then in this paradise.

The girl's corpse decomposed into a black mist carrying intense Honkai energy that corroded everything.

The black mist, centered on the prison cells, transformed everyone in the base into assassins.

Fifteen minutes into the chaos, the last assassin was eliminated. However, this was only the beginning—

One minute later, all the computer systems in the base were invaded by a virus of unknown origin.

This is the true form of the Twelfth Herrscher—"an ultimate virus with self-awareness."

She can not only corrupt humans, but also control wild animals and machines. Now, this virus, carrying the girl's hatred for humanity, has completely taken control of the base's defense system.

Then, her revenge began—

She controlled the vast number of nuclear weapons that humanity used to fight the Herrschers, causing them to be used against humanity itself.

Then, all three cities were instantly destroyed, and people and buildings were vaporized in an instant by the high temperature of the nuclear explosion.

Currently, only 31022 people remain in the entire world, residing in the base.

Viruses, capable of invading both organic and inorganic matter, are very similar to "certain programs." What are their limits?

Screw Gum pondered quietly.

Chapter 170 Kevin's "All", an Imperfect Story

Sakura could not accept this fact, and so, in her struggle against herself and against the Twelfth Herrscher, she walked towards death.

It seemed that Sakura's call awakened a sliver of Rei's consciousness. However, even so, Mei was still unable to turn it into a Divine Key and could only seal it in a black box.

But at this moment, even the most oblivious person would realize it.

In this war against the collapse, humanity has already lost.

It was during this war that Hua saw for the first time the man who seemed destined to always stand at the forefront of the human battlefield, so fragile that he could break at the slightest touch.

But he cannot admit it; he cannot admit that humanity has lost.

He didn't want to admit it, didn't want to admit the fact that Mei's health was deteriorating day by day.

He must stand up and be on the front line against the collapse.

May will not back down, she will not be weak, so Kevin cannot fall either. He must stand firm, whether to fight the Honkai or to share May's responsibility.

He took Sakura's body back to Sakura's hometown.

On the burnt-out earth, not even a tombstone remains. Only a purple crystal flower signifies that a hero rests here.

Two mourners stand here.

Kevin remained silent, as always.

Alicia remained silent, contrary to her usual behavior.

Where Kevin stood, murderous intent and icy chill raged, lingering for a long time. At this moment, his anger and hatred for the Honkai gradually surpassed his past mission and responsibility.

On the scorched earth, he made a promise to her and to everyone: no matter the cost, humanity will surely defeat the Honkai!

I myself was once caught up in that memory.

She had seen the way that man stopped Sakura, and the way Sakura died...

This was completely different from the powerful, mysterious, and cold Kevin she remembered.

In the light screen, the man who remained silent in front of the class monitor seemed not to be Kevin, who always stood before humanity, but rather an ordinary person who could be broken at the slightest touch.

Whether it's Kevin, Joyce, himself, or even Otto... they've all had moments like this.

Besides, Kevin has always been that kind of person.

After the 12th Honkai Impact 3rd, Mei's health deteriorated.

She grew increasingly exhausted and frail, yet she remained at the forefront of the fight against collapse.

She convened a meeting, a meeting that was largely absent. And in the silence, an invisible rift quietly spread among those who attended.

Kevin, however, did not sit in the seat prepared for him. He stood behind May, as always.

“I will not take any position that contradicts her. You can leave that chair to someone else.”

The theme of this conference

—It's about a person, a blind spot, a blind spot they never wanted to discover.

Thus, the thirteenth collapse occurred.

It was at this time that Alicia held a banquet.

However, the unsent invitations revealed the truth behind the banquet: it was a campaign against the Thirteenth Herrscher.

Alicia hadn't expected that most people would refuse to attend the banquet; they refused to fight against the Thirteenth Herrscher.

Some people accepted the banquet because they trusted Alicia.

At this banquet, Kevin gave this usually playful girl an answer.

His tears can freeze.

At the end of the banquet, the girl made two wishes.

Then, the predetermined fate was erased one by one by a pair of hands that arranged the stars.

Then, the girl disappeared.

The thirteenth Honkai Impact has come to an end. Only one person died in this incident: the Herrscher herself.

What is the truth behind this?

Mei stared at Alicia sitting on the sofa and asked curiously.

"It's no fun if you spoil it beforehand, Mei~" Alicia replied playfully.

Mei did not respond.

Although the light screen separates the Thirteenth Herrscher from Alicia, the meeting convened by Dr. May, Kevin's tears, and the ending presented by the light screen—that only one person perished in this Honkai—all point to the same conclusion.

These details all indicate something.

Perhaps I can already guess some of the truth behind it.

The Thirteenth Herrscher... Alicia.

[At this banquet, after this collapse.]

Sue and Kevin recall May's conjecture about the "essence" of this world. A conjecture that has been proven true.

Everything in this world is just a pre-arranged play.

In order to confirm whether "human beings" are qualified to reach some higher place and end "humanity's childhood".

But Kevin disagreed; he didn't think so. He said:

"Everything I've experienced is my 'entirety,' not a price I paid to achieve anything."

"Therefore, I will never deny any part of it, not even failures or pain."

Even if the pain is unbearable?

Even if the pain is unbearable.

"If I avoid them, it's tantamount to denying Mei, tantamount to denying you, tantamount to denying..."

"Everything she brought to us and to this world."

If a story or a world is perfect and flawless, then she probably wouldn't love it as much.

Caislan raised his hands, and even through his gloves, he could see the blood-stained hands that followed.

Even if it's failure... even if it's painful...

When Qin Chen stabbed his comrades into their bodies, they never looked at him with any resentment.

Even though this blood-stained body represents endless pain and endless hatred, it is also proof that every companion has lived and died in the past thirty million lifetimes.

The golden blood they poured on his body, and every spark burning in his chest.

These are all proof that they fought against this unjust world!

He could not avoid his pain and hatred, because he could not deny the contributions of any of his companions throughout his thirty million lifetimes.

The promise to Xi Lian, the commitment to everyone, and... anger born of love, hatred born of love.

Everything he experienced, everything he possessed... that was the "entirety" of Caislana!

P.S.: The description of Ling earlier was taken from the manga "Key of Gods: Secret Stories - Jizo Mitama". There might be errors due to changes in the script (I don't know why that comment keeps getting deleted).

Chapter 171 The Stigmata Project, The Final Battle

Before the arrival of the final Herrscher, the Herrscher of the End.

Mei handed over the execution of the "Stigmata Project" to Sue.

If they fail in the final battle, some will enter refuge chambers to await the emergence of the next civilization.

These plans represent the last act of resistance that their civilized generation could undertake.
