People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

……

The rocket broke through the atmosphere.

The faint starlight that was still visible suddenly became even more dazzling, and in the completely vacuum environment, everything became quiet.

The rocket slowly landed on the moon, and Ron brought Sirin to the moon.

"So beautiful, Brother Ron."

As Celine bathed in this empty world, she felt as if she were immersed in a warm ocean, and she no longer experienced any fear.

Of course, what truly gave her a sense of security was the man standing beside her.

"Brother Ron, thank you. We'll be together forever, right?"

"..."

Upon hearing Sirin's words, Ron glanced at the description on the system panel: "[Technical fault repair completion countdown, 00:03:23]", and silently let out a sigh of relief.

Sirin didn't pay much attention to his attitude, because Ron often did the same thing before, staring intently at the empty wall and falling silent.

“Cirin…” After a moment of silence, Ron slowly spoke, “I won’t stay by your side forever. In fact, today is the last day we can be together.”

"at last?"

Ron's words stunned Celine. She clearly couldn't understand what the man meant, her large pupils filled with confusion and deep unease.

But Ron's serious attitude made her realize that the other person was not joking, so she immediately listened carefully to what he was about to say.

Ron then told the other party everything about the future, including that the other party would become the Herrscher of the Void and wreak havoc in Siberia.

Later, through the joint efforts of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, she was completely defeated, and her Herrscher core was used by Schicksal's Archbishop Otto for research, implanting it into a clone's body.

From that moment on, Sirin vanished completely, and a girl named Kiana will remain in the world...

Sirin was stunned by Ron's words.

She blinked blankly, then asked in confusion, "Brother Ron, do you mean I'm going to try to destroy the world and then die?"

Young Celine didn't yet understand the meaning of death, let alone how heavy it was.

“That’s right.” Ron nodded.

If the world correction mechanism exists, Sirin will inevitably follow the same path until she reaches her end and disappears from this world.

Ron couldn't stop it all, but he at least wanted to try to salvage it, even if only a little.

“Cirin, extend your hand,” Ron said slowly.

“Okay.” Xilin didn’t doubt it and extended her small hand.

Ron then gently touched the other's palm and injected protective power into the Herrscher core that was gradually solidifying inside the body.

This power will protect Sirin's soul from being erased when her physical body is destroyed.

Although this approach could still be eliminated by the world's correction mechanism, Ron had to try; he couldn't just stand by and watch the girl in front of him fall into a dead end.

"Also, remember this mantra. As long as you say it, I will protect you no matter what." Ron gently stroked the girl's head and told her how to activate the protective power he had injected into her body.

"The inscription for salvation, the moment of preservation. Repeat after me."

"A savior's inscription, a testament to preservation?"

As Celine recounted Ron's story, she inexplicably felt a warm current flowing through her body, just like that day in the snow when Ron carried her back to the lab.

She then smiled sweetly and began a walk on the moon with Ron.

Time passes slowly like this.

Before we knew it, the time displayed on the system panel had come to an end.

"Snapped!"

Everything around her began to distort and change, and Sirin's figure began to dissipate bit by bit like fragments, along with the rocket that Ron had brought.

The distortion of spacetime began to be corrected by the world itself.

At the same time, the system also issued a new prompt.

[Please proceed to the designated location immediately to begin time travel.]

"Specified place?"

Upon hearing the system's words, Ron immediately set off.

Using the power of his savior form, he quickly arrived at his target location, only to find that he had arrived at the headquarters of the Destiny Organization, Destiny Airport.

Meanwhile, on the road in the airport port, a rush-class Honkai Beast appeared out of nowhere and launched an attack.

In front of the Honkai Beasts, a silver-haired little girl is using an umbrella as a weapon to protect a child of about the same age as her behind her.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. The silver-haired girl was almost instantly thrown away by the rush-class Honkai Beast, and fell to the ground, scraping her wounds and bleeding profusely.

"it hurts……"

As the Honkai Beast charged toward her, the silver-haired girl closed her eyes, her face instantly filled with fear!

"boom!"

However, the expected pain and death did not come. Instead, a man covered in scales appeared before the silver-haired little girl.

The opponent tore the Honkai Beast in front of them apart with a single blow, killing the monster!

"Are you okay?"

Ron asked the girl, but then paused for a moment, distracted by her face, "What's your name?"

"Kiana, my name is Kiana Kaslana..."

The girl who called herself Kiana stood up blankly, staring at Ron's figure with surprise and admiration in her eyes.

"who are you?"

"I'm just a doctor who's passing by."

In response to the girl's question, Ron answered casually and lifted Miss Kiana's injured knee, using his abundant healing power to heal it.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Kiana looked up in disbelief. "Doctor, you must be a hero! Daddy said that superheroes protect all the weak and defeat all enemies!"

“A superhero?” Ron thought for a moment. “I don’t think I’m a superhero.”

"Huh? Aren't you a superhero too?"

"What, you want to be a superhero?"

"Ok!"

Kiana excitedly declared, "My goal is to become the strongest Valkyrie like my dad and mom! When that happens, I'll definitely become a superhero, protect all the weak, and defeat all the evil villains!"

“Very good.” Ron nodded. “You can do it.”

"Yes, I'll protect you then too!" Kiana's eyes sparkled. "Although I'm still weak now and need your protection, by the time I grow up, you'll definitely be old... and then it will be my turn to protect you!"

"Let's make a promise, Doctor. When I become the strongest Valkyrie in Destiny, I'll protect you!"

"hehe."

Ron smiled at the girl's teasing remark but didn't say anything more.

In fact, he had already recognized her true identity. She would indeed become the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal in the future, but not as Kiana Kaslana, but under another name—

Bianca Durandal Atagina.

The future Kiana clone will inherit the name of the real Kiana, while Durandal, though losing the name of Kiana, will gain something even more precious.

Ron then left the airport.

This little episode with Kiana, or rather Durandal, did not change his original goal; he continued towards the location designated by the system.

He found himself in one of the most core hidden areas of the Destiny headquarters—the hibernation pods.

"This is?"

Methods to resolve time-related issues

"You mean, you want me to lie in a hibernation pod and sleep for more than ten years?"

[Absolutely correct]

"..."

[There's no other way. Technology is limited, and other methods would be too likely to damage the world itself. The hibernation pod is rudimentary, but it works very well. Just make do with it for now. Otherwise, once the world's correction mechanism notices you, you'll probably only have two outcomes: destroying this planet or being destroyed by this planet.]

"alright."

Realizing he had no other choice, Ron reluctantly lay down in the hibernation pod and set the timeline to more than a decade into the future to ensure he wouldn't run into his counterpart from another timeline and cause a time paradox.

If a true time paradox were to occur, not only him, but even beings at the level of true Star God Envoys might not be able to survive.

I closed my eyes, and everything began to quiet down.

……

At the same time, in a Babylonian laboratory, the purple-haired girl, Sirin, slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion.

Even though nothing seemed to have changed, she felt as if she had lost something important, and a huge gaping hole had appeared in her heart...

Chapter 166 The Awakening of the Herrscher of the Void? The Beginning of the War of Destiny!

2016 in the Honkai Impact world.

Due to the successive collapses, the Destiny Organization has flourished over the past decade and has become a world-class hegemon.

Compared to Schicksal, which is also fighting against the Honkai, the Anti-Entropy organization is like an ant facing an elephant. Schicksal's Bishop Otto has become the most powerful man on this planet.

So Otto also began his own plan, embarking on a goal that he had kept hidden for five hundred years but had never forgotten—to resurrect Kallen!

His first step was to resurrect Sirin, the Second Herrscher of the Void, who had died in the Second Honkai War!

Therefore, he sent Fu Hua, the Valkyrie who obeyed him, to capture Kiana, who was at St. Freya Academy, and bring her to the Schicksal headquarters.

……

Destiny Headquarters.
