Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

[Level 12 Honkai energy reaction is advanced, corresponding to a catastrophe of the level of the Herrscher of the End in a previous civilization. Humanity's capabilities are simply insufficient to contend with it.]

"The Herrscher of the End... Could it be Kiana?!"

"What happened to Kiana?!"

Upon hearing the name of someone she liked, Aunt Mei immediately leaned over and looked at the screen... and then froze on the spot.

"By the way...did this level 12 alarm sound four times? Are there four Herrschers of the End???"

Bronya in this world seems to have discovered some blind spot.

However, the travelers far away in Saint Fontaine did not give the people of this world's destiny a chance to unravel their doubts—

"Ha...it's all back. I didn't notice...the Great Transfer brought over the Honkai energy from the moon...and we didn't even try to contain it."

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief and tossed a sack of Honkai energy crystals into her hand.

"I suspect the fate of this world has been overshadowed by the alarms about the appearance of the Herrschers..."

Snow's lips twitched as he looked at the sack full of solidified Honkai energy crystals...

"Hopefully, they're mentally strong enough not to point a gun at their own heads..."

Jiuxiao shrugged and looked around...

"Where's Kiana? Did she really go to the moon?"

"Yes, if we really go—we should be able to reach a consensus quickly, if the Kiana of this world hasn't given up on thinking about it?"

Miss Snow touched her chin and thought for a moment.

"So what do we do next?"

"Of course we should go down and have some fun—a large-scale Honkai energy reaction that suddenly appears and disappears, and there are multiple of them... Schicksal of this world will definitely come to investigate. We can wait here and make connections with Theresa or someone else in this world."

"And... Alicia, it seems you want to see someone?"

Miss Snow, who was talking to Jiu Xiao, looked at Alicia below with a somewhat expectant expression.

"Hmm... how should I put it? After Snow, your plan was completed, I think I also gained some strange memories..."

Alicia looked somewhat confused.

"Strange memories?"

Snow and Jiuxiao exchanged a glance, showing some interest.

"That's right, and it seems to be information from another world, and it's all related to 'Alicia'..."

"...I think I know what happened to you, Ellie. As a special individual...the achievement of the uniqueness of the 'Herrscher of Humanity'—"

Jiuxiao scratched his head and offered his guess...

"These memories from other worlds must originate from those parallel worlds' 'you'... So you're seeing your own experiences in this world?"

Snow gave a look of interest.

"Hmm... how should I put it? This memory tells me... maybe I should go and say hello to Mei in this world? Hmm, give her a surprise??"

"I think this is more like a shock..."

Post-Honkai world, Schicksal headquarters.

Just as the people in the bishop's office were contemplating their final meal and what pose they should strike when they died, the piercing alarm suddenly ceased...

"...?"

"...It's stopped???"

Theresa tilted her head in confusion, looking at the projector of the early warning system—the Honkai energy storm that had been over the St. Fontaine city rail in South Africa had dissipated without a trace.

"...Could it be that the observation system has been burned out???"

Seeing the alarm abruptly stop, Raiden Mei immediately offered a plausible guess...

"No...it really is gone, Mei-nee—"

The big duck shook its head and pointed to the 3D projection of the Earth on the virtual screen—

"The observation nodes in St. Fontaine and near South Africa were indeed all burned down in an instant... but the observation nodes in the more distant Middle East and Eastern Europe remained intact."

"So that means the Honkai energy really has disappeared...?"

Bronya also wore an incredulous expression, arriving at this conclusion with a face full of doubt.

"So, Doctor... what does this mean?"

Bronya looked at the belatedly arriving Dr. Einstein, awaiting her explanation...

"Perhaps this is a warning... Sorry, there is too little information available, so we cannot make any inferences. We can only offer some possible conjectures."

"As for how high the probability is, only you can judge that for yourselves—"

Einstein shook his head and looked at the crowd in front of him.

"It's alright, Doctor. Having a hypothesis is better than being completely clueless. At least it can point us in the direction of our next step of exploration."

Theresa nodded, signaling Einstein to continue.

"I think the most likely guess right now is that it's related to Miss Kiana... This is a warning she left for us."

"Kiana's...warning?"

Raiden Mei tilted her head, somewhat puzzled...

"After that incident, all of Earth's Honkai energy was sealed on the moon..."

"The Honkai energy on Earth has become so scarce that even some small and medium-sized components that used to operate on Honkai energy are struggling to function. The sudden appearance of such a massive amount of Honkai energy can only be related to that girl..."

"In this world now, only that girl named Kiana still has a close connection with the Honkai."

Einstein shook his head.

"So, what is Kiana trying to do by making such a big commotion... or rather, what is she trying to tell us...?"

Theresa frowned, looking completely puzzled.

"We need to prepare for the worst—Ms. Theresa, Kiana, that child, I'm afraid she won't be able to maintain this seal any longer..."

"What.....!"

Theresa, Bronya, and Raiden Mei were all startled upon hearing Einstein's words.

"The seal can't be maintained... What's going on, Doctor???"

“Bishop Theresa, and Bronya and Raiden Mei, you haven’t forgotten, have you? You must know... Civilization and Honkai are like twins; the more prosperous one becomes, the more ferocious the other grows.”

"And we... our civilization continues to advance, so what about the Honkai?"

"The Honkai was sealed away by that child Kiana, that's what you all think, right?"

Einstein shook his head—

"In the end, the sealing is just a way for us to comfort ourselves—how could the natural laws from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers be sealed? We've just put a plug named Kiana on the outlet of what we call human civilization."

"When the water pressure in the pipe increases—the stopper will not only not block the water outlet, but will also be propelled by the pressure and launched out, like a bullet, damaging the human civilization nearby."

"At that time, the former savior will become the final straw that leads civilization to its destruction—"

Ultimately, human civilization is merely escaping, and we are perhaps even more helpless than before...

Einstein shook his head with a hint of worry...

"So, in other words, we have to start preparing for future crises... It's only been eight years, just eight years..."

Theresa muttered to herself, seemingly complaining about why the time allotted to human civilization is always so short...

"It's been long enough, Ms. Theresa—eight years of peace, without any major Honkai disasters, and even medium or small Honkai attacks were rare. Compared to the endless disasters of eight years ago, humanity has at least gained time to recuperate..."

"Sigh—maybe..."

Theresa sighed and looked back at Raiden Mei and Bronya, who were behaving like obedient children.

"By the way, Mei, and Bronya, Saint Fontaine also asked you to make a trip. Such a violent Honkai energy reaction, even though it is in near-Earth orbit and only lasts for a few minutes, will still have some impact on the local area."

"While you ensure local security, an engineering team will accompany you to Saint Fontaine to repair and replace the local surveillance equipment."

"Hmm...I understand, Dean, we will get it done."

"Please be extremely careful... I have a feeling something terrible might happen somewhere."

"Don't worry, Dean—we're all grown up now, so please don't worry about us..."

Looking at Theresa's fussing and nagging, Bronya and Raiden Mei gave each other a helpless look.

“There shouldn’t be any major problems, Ms. Theresa. Yang has recently been invited to attend a conference in Saint Fontaine. I’ll have him go with Bronya and Miss Mei.”

"Well... Mr. Yang, then I'll leave it to you all."

Theresa nodded and began to deal with the documents and reports that had flooded in due to the earlier alarm...

--

In Saint-Fontaine, Snow and his accomplices, the instigators, seem to have found a new target and a new victim on their journey—

"Delicious food!"

Snow, with the air of a powerful figure, gripped the neck of one of the Void Treasures with one hand, the latter's face filled with disbelief.

Behind Snow, Jiuxiao was stepping on a red and black "Gundam" figure, pinning it to the ground and beating it, while a pink fairy-like lady cheered her on.

"The Herrscher of Man, Alicia???"

The blond man's words were filled with disbelief.

—Void Treasury thinks he must have eaten too much Boletus luridus today....
