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

Theresa stared expectantly at the scene before her, eagerly anticipating the day she would dominate the battlefield.

………………

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, the light screen listed out one by one the Herrschers who had appeared at St. Freya Academy—

The first person to appear on the light screen was none other than the "history teacher" that Kiana, Mei, and Bronya were all very familiar with—the leader of Anti-Entropy.

Walter Young

Walter Yang, visible through the light screen, was still fighting, as resolutely as he had fought Sirin to the death.

In his hands, a pseudo-black hole erupted with terrifying attraction, drawing Sirin into it; even the terrifying Second Herrscher was about to perish at his hands—

"Tyrant of the heavens, behold what it looks like when stars shatter!"

[Herrscher x1]

……

The power of the Second Agent Herrscher was revealed, and the scene of creating an aerial fleet with bare hands was staged again in front of everyone. Even watching it a second time still made everyone feel breathtaking!

Although everyone knows that Sirin escaped from Walter Yang's clutches because of the white-clad masked man, it doesn't stop them from being amazed and impressed by Walter Yang's strength.

He fought to the death against the Second Herrscher and nearly eradicated the root of the Second Honkai Impact. Isn't such a magnificent achievement enough to prove Welt Yang's strength?

Those who know the details of the Second Honkai Impact, such as Tesla, Einstein, and Otto of Schicksal, understand even more how much Welt Young sacrificed in that battle.

The phrase "repeatedly giving his life" may sound a bit like dark humor, but it truly reflects just how much Walter Young sacrificed.

To fight against the Honkai, he resolutely went to the moon to die; to fight against the Honkai, he hid his consciousness in the core of a Herrscher in search of survival.

To protect the world, he relinquished his own name and identity, carrying on the path of his predecessors in the name of a pioneer.

……

On March 7th, when he saw Walter Yang nearly die at the hands of the white-masked man, he subtly avoided Walter Yang, appearing afraid of ghosts and不敢近近 (不敢近近 - this phrase is a bit awkward in English, and doesn't translate directly but can be left as is).

But upon seeing how powerful and reliable Walter Young was in the video, she obediently returned to him.

Although March 7 wasn't entirely sure whether Walter Young, who was beside her, was a human or a ghost, Uncle Young's reliability and his fascinating past made March 7 especially curious.

Himeko, needless to say, was somewhat interested in the past of this mysterious old friend, but she never expected it to be so exciting and thrilling.

"Shatter the stars in the sky..."

Himeko, who especially loved stars and longed to explore them, subtly twitched the corners of her mouth.

It's truly unexpected that she and Walter Young, who clearly disagree on slogans, have partnered for quite some time.

…………

Inside St. Freya Academy, Kiana and the others, seeing the "history teacher's" record being played again, twitched their lips, their feelings complicated.

In particular, Sirin inside Kiana's body was so enraged when she saw the scene of her being nearly executed after her defeat playing again that she bared her teeth and claws!

They're repeatedly playing footage of her defeat—what does that mean? What are they up to?

However, Celine, who had become puffed up like a pufferfish, deflated contentedly after seeing the next scene on the light screen.

……

Following closely behind Welt Yang was Sirin, the Queen of the Sky, who had fought him to the death and caused the horrific Second Honkai Impact.

However, the scene shown is of Kiana's resurrection as Sirin at Schicksal headquarters, depicting her facing Anti-Entropy's sneak attack:

"Humans, your existence disgusts me. Hatred, envy, war—this is your ugliness."

Facing the entropy-reversing torrent of steel, facing the roar of artillery fire that illuminated the sky as if it were on fire, Kiana, whose body was now possessed by Sirin, coldly snapped her fingers—

"This moment, the time of judgment"

When the Queen of the Skies manifests her power, humanity's prized technology becomes nothing more than a salute to her arrival.

The deafening salutes continued unabated, and in the deathly silence of celebration, the entropy-reversing steel torrent vanished in an instant.

All efforts and hard work went to waste; human endeavors and wisdom seemed like a joke in the face of collapse.

This is Sirin, the Herrscher core power hidden within Kiana's body.

[Herrscher x2]

………………

Seeing how entropy had become just a background element in the scene, Einstein's lips twitched, while Tesla's forehead veins throbbed and he was furious!

I was already upset enough by the scene of the Anti-Entropy mechs being wiped out once before, but now the screen is playing it over and over again!

Is the fruit of their painstaking efforts really so worthless that it must be repeatedly humiliated?!

Even the usually indifferent Einstein twitched his lips along with Tesla, clearly in a bad mood.

I was troubled by Sirin during the second Honkai Impact 3rd, and when I faced Sirin again, I could only be defeated. This feeling was really unpleasant.

but……

Tesla and Einstein clenched their fists, their will to fight against decay was unwavering and they would never give up.

.........

As for Celine, upon seeing her queen-like demeanor, she was so pleased with her own dashing moment that she almost put her hands on her hips.

However, Celine's smugness didn't last long; the scene displayed on the screen once again infuriated the little pufferfish.

Because what's shown in the scene is Kiana truly facing herself and acknowledging her power after the momentous event of "Queen's Descent."

A scene of truly rediscovering oneself and reaffirming one's true self.

[Ignite the Flame of Tomorrow]

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Lawyer of Flame?

Sirin was very satisfied with how the light screen displayed the grand scene of her queen's arrival.

Although she wasn't at her peak when she obtained several Herrscher Cores, and although she appeared in Kiana's form, the one in the picture was still Sirin.

Celine felt especially pleased to display such a majestic queenly demeanor before countless people.

Although it was only a voice inside her body, Kiana could even see her smug posture.

However, the next content that appeared on the screen made Sirin's smugness disappear.

Because the next Herrscher from the Far East Demon Cave to be counted in the light screen is Kiana.

This is not Kiana, the Queen of the Sky, under Sirin's control, but rather Kiana truly wielding the power of the Herrscher.

………………

Kiana appears to have been dragged into a strange theater, with traces of a fierce battle remaining in the scene.

No one could see what Kiana was fighting before this, nor could they see what she had seen earlier.

But the only thing visible was the plague gem in her hand, and her posture that seemed to have suppressed Sirin and taken control of the Herrscher power.

……

Otto didn't know why the Plague Gem, which should have been stored in the God-Slaying Armor—Crimson Knight: Eclipse—at Schicksal Headquarters, appeared in that strange theater and ended up in Kiana's hands.

After the Second Honkai Impact, the gems Sirin obtained from the Honkai God were scattered in various places, and most of them fell into the hands of Anti-Entropy and Schicksal.

The Plague Gem, for example, was used to develop the Godslayer Armor, but there is still no one who can match it to use the completed Crimson Knight: Eclipse.

The fact that the Plague Gem appeared in that strange place suggests that something went wrong when Theresa and the others went to Schicksal headquarters to compete for Kiana.

Otto tapped on the table, pondering what could have caused this situation.

However, what's wrong with letting the Plague Gem fall into their hands?

After all, for Otto, the most important thing in his plan was to completely bring the power of the Herrscher into the hands of humans.

For Otto, both the Plague Gem and the Tranquility Gem were merely tools.

As long as he achieves his goal, the process doesn't matter, even if it's slightly beyond his expectations...

Otto frowned slightly. According to his plan, Kiana should have already completed the plan he arranged when they were at Schicksal headquarters.

Kiana will have a gem implanted at Schicksal headquarters, awaken as the Herrscher Sirin, and then regain control of her body after killing her closest friends and family.

The power of "emotion" caused Kiana's mind to undergo a severe earthquake and shock after witnessing Mei's death, ultimately becoming the driving force that propelled her to control the power of the Herrscher.

Otto didn't know how much time had passed since Kiana, who obtained the Plague Gem in the strange theater shown on the screen, was resurrected as Sirin at Schicksal headquarters.

But one thing is certain: Kiana probably didn't manage to kill her closest friends and family with her own hands at Schicksal headquarters.

Otto frowned slightly in displeasure; this was something beyond his plans.

……

Whether in the Honkai Universe or the Honkai Iron Universe, Himeko was momentarily dazed upon seeing the crimson gem.

It was as if the person named Himeko had given her life for that power, but not for any vile thoughts—

It was to protect his students.

Himeko Murata felt as if she had been transported to another world, as if she had fallen from the sky and been swallowed by a sense of weightlessness, but the next moment she felt the earth beneath her feet.

Did she... ever use that power?

Did she... successfully protect the family and friends she wanted to protect?

Himeko, aboard the Star Train, was also in a daze, but her heart was filled with more admiration for her counterpart in another universe.

After all, Walter Yang's earlier gaze made her realize that she, from another universe, must be an admirable figure.

The sense of déjà vu that flashed through Himeko's mind when she saw the crimson gem made her realize that it was probably the power that she, from another universe, used to protect what she cherished.

That explosive, uncontrollable power, even if it burns itself to ashes, still strives to illuminate the light for those it cherishes...

Himeko was really looking forward to meeting her counterpart from another universe and witnessing the admirable and magnificent feats she had accomplished.

However, the image of the Plague Gem only flashed by for a moment, and they couldn't guess what had happened. They could only focus their attention on Kiana in the image.

…………

Sirin's consciousness, which had erupted from Kiana's body, seemed to have been absent for a long time.

Half of her clear, azure eyes had transformed into the same eyes as Sirin's, showcasing the Herrscher powers she wielded.
