A quiet change is taking place!
What is the significance of an individual to the world?
This was the last thought that surfaced in my mind before I completely plunged into darkness.
My name is John Doe, a name you see everywhere in this country.
[From birth to now, over the past twenty years, my life has felt like a series of copied and pasted texts, endlessly repeating the mundane days.]
[Attended an ordinary high school, achieved an ordinary score, and went to an ordinary university.]
I doubt my classmates will even remember my name a few years after graduation.
An ordinary me, an unremarkable past, an mediocre life.
This is all I have.
The crows outside the window cawed as loudly as ever, the sunlight was as blinding as ever, and time flowed by as always.
When I realized it, I was staring at my phone screen again.
[The trend is downward; it seems another strike or protest has broken out somewhere—]
[The application for the lab is still stalled and declining.]
[Scrolling down, all I see are ads that I'm not interested in but keep appearing over and over again—]
[Scrolling down, someone I met online is arguing fiercely with someone else—]
[Slide down————]
[Nothing has changed at all]
I closed my eyes; darkness, endless darkness.
The world turned dark, and I crashed to the ground, gasping for breath.
I looked up, and was instantly captivated by the sight before me.
It was a massive architectural complex that far exceeded my comprehension; common sense was ruthlessly trampled upon here.
Broken corridors twisted and turned at bizarre angles, stretching forward, with strange symbols carved on irregular stone pillars.
The most eye-catching feature is the enormous terrace floating in mid-air. Layers of seating, like flower petals, surround the magnificent and exquisite stage.
Almost at the same moment I blinked, countless puppets of various shapes suddenly appeared everywhere, slowly surging towards the theater with stiff steps.
The doll was wrapped in countless transparent threads, the source of which hung down from the sky, as if an unseen hand was controlling everything.
Among those puppets, I suddenly saw familiar faces: my classmates, my roommates, even my professors... They, like the other puppets, were walking slowly with their heads down.
I yelled and tried to run towards them, but I stopped in my tracks after taking just one step.
I looked down at my feet, where a thin, long, transparent thread was extending out.
I finally understand everything.
"Hahaha, hahaha, hahahahaha!"
It's all over. This world, and the world in which I and we are insignificant, have finally come to an end.
It is ordained by Heaven.
"I apologize for interrupting your training, Lady Durandal."
"Ah... Rita, what happened?"
“There is a strange report.”
Durandal opened her portable holographic screen and began reviewing the report. Her expression became extremely confused.
"This is...."
"Yes, it's what connects these unrelated social events."
"The London Underground disaster, the Belgrade massacres, the Frankfurt financial crisis, the disappearances in Kolkata, the arson attack in Bloemfontein..."
"Behind these seemingly unrelated social events, we have found strange clues that suggest a breakdown."
"Moreover, four of these cases were discovered by chance because people related to Destiny were involved."
"Lady Changguang believes that we are facing something completely new and unknown—she warned that if we cannot mobilize all branches of Destiny, large and small, to assist in the investigation, something very bad may happen in the future."
[Beidou: Huh?! Is something about to happen...?]
[Ningguang: An event related to the Honkai?]
Charlotte: No way, another Herrscher has been born!?
[March 7th: Wait! Have you guys noticed...?]
[March 7th: The appearance of Herrschers is becoming more frequent!!]
[Hu Tao: Huh! It really does seem to be!]
[Silver Wolf: Starting with the Herrscher of Wind... how many times have I climbed in just a few years?!]
Silver Wolf: Herrscher of Wind, Herrscher of Void, Herrscher of Reason, Herrscher of Thunder, Herrscher of Ice, Herrscher of Rock, Herrscher of Meteoric Ice, Herrscher of Consciousness, Herrscher of Death
Theresa: What if it's a Herrscher who appears at this moment...?
[Star Iron Weltyang: Indeed, the Honkai is rapidly worsening at this time.]
[Honkai Impact 3rd - Himeko: Could it be... the end is about to come??]
Jingyuan: I'm afraid our time is running out.
And it seems to be to confirm that the premonitions of the people in the chat group were accurate!
The truth about this incident is gradually coming to light!
And behind the scenes...
It is the newly awakened Tenth Herrscher! The Herrscher of Domination!!
The Thousand Herrschers are the Apostles of Honkai, composed of losers who have given up the struggle and do not know why they live.
They loathe their own powerlessness and weakness, transforming it into resentment towards the world.
[The Thousand Lawmakers are a shadow that truly exists within the human heart, an unspeakable ugliness—manipulating these thousand individuals is the unification of a thousand wills: a thousand kinds of sorrow, a thousand kinds of despair, a thousand kinds of madness, a thousand kinds of curses, a desire to be destroyed, a desire to be imprisoned, a desire to be dominated.]
Countless malicious distortions and combinations have jointly constructed the "Theater of Domination," creating the "Herrscher of Domination."
And at the very beginning of the Thousand Lawyers!
So they approached Kiana! They wanted Sirin to descend once more as the Herrscher of the Void!
The battle between the anti-entropy unfolds and the rulers of the laws of domination takes place during which the powers of reason and knowledge are stripped away!
Seele allows Black Seele to take control of her body and transform into Nightmare Star Abyss!
In the final battle, Fu Hua and Bronya were captured by the Herrscher of Dominion one after another!
Only Kiana remains to fight the Herrscher of Dominion!!
And this moment.
Almost everyone was pessimistic about Kiana!
But it was also at this moment!
Kiana saw Himeko again inside the Plague Gem!
[Within the Plague Gem: Consciousness Space]
"Are you ready, Kiana?"
"I understand, Himeko-sensei."
Kiana said, as if she had made up her mind.
Himeko smiled with satisfaction.
"Come on, let's walk a little further."
Under the bright sunshine.
The two walked slowly forward.
"Saint Freya's yesterday seems as vivid as ever."
"I remember when you first enrolled, you were saying you wanted to become the strongest Valkyrie."
"In the blink of an eye, you've grown so much. To be honest, I really want to watch you all grow up too."
"I really want to go back to St. Freya, to continue teaching you and training with you..."
"Go write some more words on the blackboard, then go back to your room and have a drink."
"My time at St. Freya is also my most precious memory."
"Unfortunately, it's no longer possible."
"The road ahead is still long, but it seems... I can no longer walk with you."
"But it doesn't matter, Kiana, you never let me down."
"Always remember that there are many people around you who will always support you and protect you."
"That includes me."
Speaking of which.
Himeko slowly stopped in her tracks.
She looked at her most prized student.
"My journey ends here. From here on, Kiana, your path begins."
"After you leave that door, all of this will disappear, right?"
Kiana stared intently at Himeko.
His voice trembled slightly.
Himeko sighed.
"I don't know... but... I guess so."
"Um..."
Kiana finally fell silent.
Himeko smiled gently.
Kiana... don't worry too much. Just treat this as a dream, and when the dream ends, everyone has to move forward.
""
"Don't be afraid to say goodbye. Saying goodbye to the past is to move towards the future."
""
"When you feel lost, look up at the starry sky."
"I wish to be there, to light up your entire night."
"...Thank you, Himeko-sensei."
Kiana wiped away her tears.
"Himeko-sensei... It's such a pleasure to be your student! It's an honor to have met you!"
"It's also an honor for me."
Finally, Himeko smiled, as warmly as ever.
"Go, Kiana."
A white light engulfed everything.
Kiana gritted her teeth, her vision blurred by tears, and stepped through the door.
After this step.
All of this will disappear completely.
But it was also at this moment.
