Scrolling through short videos and seeing embarrassing moments, has even the Mi Home ecosystem broke

Even the thirteen heroes who represent the strongest within the Golden Courtyard are no different.

………………

The Queen's majestic arrival was on full display in the light screen, followed by the scene that Mei, Theresa, Bronya, and Fu Hua had all witnessed before—the scene where they took turns fighting but were easily overpowered.

People who once thought "counting by choking" was just a prank have now realized that the seemingly humorous scene actually represents the repeated failures of human hope.

Watching them fall to Sirin once again, the viewers on the screen felt as if they were being choked, unable to breathe.

In the deathly silence, the sound of leather shoes broke the stillness.

The Archbishop of Destiny, Otto Apocalypse, who personally orchestrated this desperate battlefield, appeared prominently in the light screen.

Chapter 54 Class Monitor

"She's my friend, and I don't want her to get hurt."

The blond man who appeared before Sirin in leather shoes, dressed in bishop's robes, was none other than Otto Apocalypse, the leader of Schicksal.

With the Anti-Entropy mechs almost completely wiped out, Otto still dared to stand in front of Sirin amidst the devastated battlefield, making one wonder what kind of confidence he had.

After witnessing Sirin effortlessly dismantle the steel torrent of anti-entropy with a flick of her finger, Otto still dared to make demands of Sirin.

This clearly demonstrates the unfathomable depth and audacity of this archbishop destined for greatness.

"Disgusting humans..."

Sirin, who remained unfazed even by the entropy-reversing steel torrent, suddenly felt a touch of apprehension towards Otto.

At Otto's "pleading" request, Sirin actually let Fu Hua go and didn't attack the defeated Fu Hua again.

It's obvious that Otto possesses something that could threaten Sirin, which is why even the proud queen Sirin would back down.

The light curtain temporarily stopped after Otto rescued Fu Hua, leaving everyone with heavy hearts.

Because there has been no Honkai event in the past decade, people have almost forgotten how terrifying the "Honkai" phenomenon truly is.

Even the devastation caused by the Third Herrscher a few years ago was far less devastating than the one caused by Kiana and Himeko rescuing Mei in time.

Sirin, a terrifying being possessing two gems, was so powerful that even Anti-Entropy's almost all-out attack failed to harm her in the slightest.

How can we resist or fight against such a thing?

Even just looking at the light screen, everyone felt despair, and it was hard to imagine how terrifying and suffocating it would be to actually face Sirin.

…………

Inside St. Freya Academy, everyone remained silent, lost in their own thoughts.

Theresa, who usually enjoys a leisurely life of reading comics, eating potato chips, and drinking bitter melon juice, is now biting her nails and feeling distressed.

She may seem carefree at times, but she's still a living, breathing person, and her heart can ache too.

Especially when they see their relatives and friends being hurt.

Kiana, now a Herrscher, as shown in the light screen, hurt Mei, Bronya, and Fu Hua. How much harm did this cause to these close friends?

On the contrary, Theresa put her own defeat last, and the only thing bothering her was her "defeat."

She was once a top-tier S-class Valkyrie, but she was always powerless against Sirin.

Whether in Siberia back then or at the future headquarters of Destiny, she was unable to threaten Sirin in the slightest.

The helplessness of watching her friends and family rush headlong into battle, only to be defeated, made Theresa especially resent her own weakness.

The same feelings were brewing in Bronya and Mei's hearts. As Kiana's companions and close friends who had also experienced the disaster in Changkong City, their initial motivation for entering St. Freya Academy was to become stronger and then protect the people around them.

However, when disaster actually struck, they realized just how vulnerable they were.

Kiana is the same.

She promised to protect everyone and aspired to become a powerful Valkyrie like her mother, but she herself became a disaster, causing misfortune to those around her—

Kiana bit her lip, hating her future self for being so useless, for letting Sirin so easily take control of her body...

Kiana was now certain that the Herrscher of the Void, who had caused the Siberian catastrophe, truly resided within her.

The voice that resonated in her heart was that of Queen Sirin, who descended proudly from the light screen.

However, because she didn't have much Honkai energy in her body, and without the stimulation of another gem, that consciousness couldn't yet take over her body.

However, Kiana could sense that after witnessing how the "herself" in the light screen harmed those she cherished, the Sirin within her, who had long been dormant, was showing signs of awakening.

The words Celine had spoken to her earlier were evidence, and there will likely be more and more evidence in the future.

Kiana is confused. She is determined to expel the Honkai, but instead she has become the Honkai itself, with the core of the Herrscher within her?

Did she originate from the core of the Herrscher, or did her body stabilize the core of the Herrscher?

Just as Kiana's vision blurred, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her attention back from her daze.

"Kiana, don't think about those things."

Fu Hua's image was reflected in Kiana's eyes. The class monitor still had her usual stern face, but her worry was palpable.

It was obvious that Fu Hua noticed Kiana's odd behavior and stopped her from overthinking.

Himeko, who was standing nearby, also keenly noticed Kiana's unusual behavior, but she was a step too late for Fu Hua.

Himeko observed Fu Hua with mixed feelings.

Although she once trusted Fu Hua, after learning that Fu Hua was Otto's subordinate and about Otto's experiments on Kiana, she had to be wary of the student she once trusted.

Since Otto rescued Fu Hua from Sirin's clutches, and given Otto's mention of her being an "old friend," it's practically confirmed that Fu Hua is Otto's subordinate.

However, no one intends to pursue this matter now, since the light screen also showed Fu Hua fighting hard to save people until he was defeated.

Himeko breathed a slight sigh of relief, because Fu Hua was clearly not a cruel and heartless person.

She felt especially guilty about infiltrating St. Freya Academy, and her hand, which was tightly gripping Kiana's, trembled slightly.

"I'm sorry for hiding among you."

"I……"

Fu Hua, who was not good with words, hesitated to speak, seemingly having something difficult to say.

Kiana has never been a mean person, just as she once extended a helping hand to Mei when everyone rejected her.

Despite feeling confused and saddened by Fu Hua's predicament, Kiana still managed a forced smile.

"It's alright, class monitor."

"Squad leader, no matter what your reason was for coming to us, you are still our squad leader."

Fu Hua was somewhat stunned to see Kiana comforting her instead, staring at the forced smile Kiana gave her.

At the moment her identity was revealed, Fu Hua's mind flashed back to the days she had spent with everyone at St. Freya Academy.

To carry out Otto's plan, she infiltrated St. Freya Academy, using the guise of "surveillance" to get close to them.

At the moment her identity was exposed, they not only showed no resentment, but even comforted her, this "traitorous" figure.

Fu Hua's gazes towards Mei, Bronya, Himeko, and Theresa showed no reproach.

Fu Hua isn't good at reading people's hearts or observing their expressions, but she can tell that everyone's feelings are quite complicated.

But beyond this complexity, what Fu Hua still felt from everyone was the trust of her comrades.

Fu Hua was somewhat bewildered and stunned, when Kiana turned around and took her hand in return:

"Squad leader, look, you in the future risked your life to save us and to save me. How can we blame you?"

"You stood up for Auntie, Bronya, and Mei when they were in danger, saving them from my useless hands."

"You were willing to fight a Herrscher to save me..."

"What could better prove that you are everyone's partner?"

"Kiana..."

Fu Hua was surprised that her concealment would be understood by everyone, and she stared blankly at her reflection in Kiana's azure eyes.

Everything is for the fight against the Honkai...

Looking back on her journey, Fu Hua realizes that even though some memories have become blurred and others have been sealed away with her Feather Dust, the only thing that remains unchanged is this long-cherished wish.

In order to fight against the Honkai, Fu Hua acted according to Otto's plan, but was it effective to force Kiana to become a Herrscher?

Fu Hua could not be confirmed.

When making choices, the consequences are uncertain; we only know whether something was right or wrong when the outcome occurs.

Should she trust Otto and continue to be the villain who hurts these good girls?

……

Cecilia and Siegfried watched as Kiana, in the future, became such a terrifying Herrscher in the light screen; their feelings were indescribably complex.

After breaking away from Destiny and joining Anti-Entropy, they gradually learned about Anti-Entropy's technological power, and thought that their accumulated strength over the years could become a powerful weapon against Destiny...

However, they never expected that the Herrscher core implanted within their daughter K423, which was like a bomb, would eventually explode.

It even led to a significant depletion of the resources available for anti-entropy...

Even though they are extremely anxious, they are powerless to help. After the Second Collapse, they have become semi-retired with very little fighting ability and can only place their hopes on their friends.

Tesla, Einstein, and those friends who defied entropy were their hope; even if the mechs were almost completely wiped out, they could still find a glimmer of hope.

"Go Kiana! Go everyone!"

……

Watching her own sister become a Herrscher, punching Theresa and kicking Fu Hua, and annihilating the Anti-Entropy mechs with a flick of her finger, Durandal didn't know what to say.

This was Otto's plan, and she could only hope that Otto's plan hadn't gone wrong.

Otherwise, judging from Kiana's behavior after becoming a Herrscher, if she, who has already harmed her close friends and family, fails to successfully control the Herrscher's power...

In that case, she, as the older sister, will really have to do it herself...

Durandal clenched her fists, praying that the day would never come when the sisters would turn against each other.
