Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

Doctor: "Anti-Honkai energy field? I wonder if it's possible to create an anti-elemental force field?"

Diluc: "Your idea is dangerous."

Doctor: "Perhaps."

Zhongli: "If this thing can be made, it will probably bring disaster to the Teyvat continent."

After all, people's hearts change as their ambitions grow, and if this thing is developed, it may cause a new war.

"Your Excellency, this stance can suppress the Honkai energy within the Valkyrie. What should we do next?"

Amber arrived at the command center with the data that the Ministry of Science and Technology had just obtained. Most of the Valkyries who had not yet evacuated were now being suppressed by these forces. What should they do?

"Oh! A field that suppresses Honkai energy? That truly surprises me, Ice Queen! Amber, what is the limit of this field's range?"

"According to satellite measurements, the range is circular with a radius of about ten kilometers. It is estimated that the limit is still a bit short."

"Is that so?" Upon hearing Amber's report, Otto issued another order, "Launch Honkai Fission Bombs and blast this field apart! I want to see just how much Honkai energy this field can suppress!"

"But Bishop, our main force is all in this position. If we're not careful, we could be wiped out."

"There's no other way. Rather than sitting and waiting for the enemy to capture all the Valkyries, we might as well force our way through."

After all, the Valkyries in their current position are practically no different from ordinary people; if they continue waiting like this, they might all be captured and taken back by the Ice Queen.

Siegfried: "You Otto, with so many Valkyries and you using a Honkai Fission Bomb? How many people would that kill in one hit?"

During the Second Honkai Impact, Cecilia was destroyed without even a complete corpse because Otto used the Honkai Fission Bomb. This was also a major reason why Siegfried betrayed Schicksal. If Cecilia hadn't protected him, he probably would have been blown up too.

Tesla: "That's very much in line with this guy's personality. After all, he doesn't care about human lives at all."

This is the Honkai Fission Bomb that he used to kill Joyce. It was only because Joyce and Leiana sacrificed their lives that New York was not razed to the ground.

Theresa: "Grandpa, you..."

Otto: "This is me from a parallel universe, don't throw all the blame on me."

Einstein: "You're just as despicable no matter which world you're in, Otto, you're a complete scumbag!"

Chapter 248 Ice Queen vs. Kevin

Chapter 260 The Problem of the Lawgiver of Reason

After making preparations, the four of them began to challenge the final enemy, which appeared before them: the Void Tree God Remains - Nihilism.

The deafening roar of clashing steel was incessant, occasionally punctuated by flashes of menacing lightning.

With their tacit cooperation, the Void Tree God Remains - Nihilism was completely suppressed, and the group firmly gained the upper hand.

Mei calmly began, "Kiana, Jiuxiao, Bronya, get ready. Next, we'll wipe it out in one fell swoop!"

"Okay, leave it to me!"

"Lord Jiuxiao will complete the mission perfectly!"

"Bronya understands!"

"Okay! Now!"

The four stood side by side, amidst menacing lightning, blazing flames, decaying black mist, and continuous artillery fire that spread and lingered in the space, forming a violent energy surge.

boom!!!

A violent torrent of energy swept out, and the Void Tree Remains - Nihilism was completely destroyed, turning into magnificent imaginary energy and vanishing into thin air.

"It seems... this must be the 'door' to leaving the space of thought."

Mei looked at the ball of light that appeared in front of them after the destruction of the Void Tree God Remains - Nihilism, and reminded everyone.

"Yes! We can finally leave this place. We must stop the Ice Queen!"

They stood by the ball of light, not taking a step forward for a long time. Unknown challenges and impending crises were already stirring outside the 'door'. What awaited them?

……

Meanwhile, on this side of the moon, in an ice palace suspended in the sky.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon!"

Accompanied by colorful light, the core of the Herrscher of Reason hovered and flew around the Ice Queen as if it were a living thing.

Every second, the Honkai energy contained in the core of the Herrscher of Reason is constantly increasing, and the aura of the Ice Queen is also advancing to a higher level.

"Ice Queen, I have something to discuss with you!"

Just then, Gray Snake, who had met Kevin before, also arrived.

"Grey Snake, what brings you here?"

The light from the core of the Herrscher of Reason flew into the palm of the Ice Queen and dissipated, and the Ice Queen's aura returned to normal.

"Otto, the Archbishop of Schicksal, has awakened from the Stigmata Project with the S-rank Valkyries of Schicksal, intending to sabotage it. What do you think of this, Ice Queen?"

"...Grey Serpent, you just need to hold off Otto. As for the rest of Grey Serpent, don't worry! Once my plan is complete, both Otto and Kevin will be destroyed by my hand!"

Now has come a critical moment in her plan. She cannot leave the palace, and her subordinates, the Fools, have already joined the Stigmata Project at the same time that her improved Stigmata Project was launched.

"What about Yu Tu? Given her status, she shouldn't be affected by the Stigmata Project, right?"

“She has more important things to do, so I have no one to help you.”

After receiving the Ice Queen's reply, the Gray Serpents could only use their remaining gray serpents to temporarily trap Otto and his companions, buying time for the Ice Queen.

Kiana: "Yutu? Who is she? Judging from their conversation, she seems unaffected by the Stigmata Project!"

Mei: "I don't know, I've never heard of that name before."

Raven: "This seems to be the code name of one of the executives of our World Serpent! Could it be her?"

Jackal: "Could it be that Feather Rabbit betrayed us in a parallel universe too?!"

Otto: "The World Serpent is truly full of talent. There are so many traitors. It seems that the World Serpent Lord is not strict enough in disciplining his subordinates."

Kevin: "..."

Möbius (Memory): "Kevin, how come there are so many traitors in World Serpent! Even though it's just one possibility in a parallel world, Kevin, you still need to keep a close eye on them!"

Kevin: "I will..."

"Wait a minute." The camera switched back to Bronya and she suddenly spoke up, and everyone's attention turned to her. "Speaking of which, why did Kiana and Mei regain their Herrscher powers, but Bronya is still in a sealed state when fighting the big boss? This is strange no matter how you look at it."

Now that they have defeated the Void Tree God, they can return to their home world and begin the final battle of this singularity on the moon.

But neither Dr. Mei's previous methods nor defeating the Void Tree God Remains could restore Bronya. What's going on?

As for why we don't mention Jiuxiao, it's because Jiuxiao isn't a Herrscher, which makes her the only one among them who has retained the most strength and hasn't been affected much.

Thinking of this, Bronya glanced at Jiuxiao with resentment. Why was she always the one being bullied? When would Yaya be able to stand up for herself?

"Why are you looking at us? Even the savior isn't always powerless!"

Jiuxiao felt uneasy under Bronya's gaze.

Aren't you leaving yet?

Seeing that the four people hadn't left after defeating the Void Tree God's remains, Dr. Mei came over and asked in confusion.

"Dr. Mei, what's wrong with Bronya? Why can't she use the power of a Herrscher?"

"That? Let Prometheus 17 explain it."

Dr. May then directly gave Prometheus 17, who was standing to the side, the opportunity to explain.

"It's that again, Doctor!" Seeing that Dr. Mei had dumped all these answers on him, Prometheus 17 showed a human-like helplessness, but still began to explain to the others, "You can't use the powers of the Herrscher of Reason because of the Stigmata Project!"

"Project Stigmata!?"

"For the Stigmata Project, the Herrscher most easily 'deconstructed' in this era is precisely the Herrscher of Reason, who could pose a great threat to it," Prometheus 17 explained. "In addition, the core of the Herrscher of Reason is formed by the collective thoughts of 300,000 people, so it will be automatically eroded by the Stigmata Project, which now gathers almost all of humanity, and thus become fragmented."

"And this means that the Herrscher of Reason's '300,000 thoughts' have become an obstacle for the Ice Queen, after all, you and she are both Herrschers of Reason!"

"An obstacle from the Ice Queen?!"

Prometheus 17 nodded: "Yes, so Bronya's power is simply not good enough in front of the Ice Queen, who is a much more powerful Herrscher of Reason. Therefore, she is very easily controlled by the Ice Queen's Stigmata Project. This is indeed a fact before us."

Bronya fell silent, knowing that what Prometheus 17 said was indeed an undeniable fact. The core of the Herrscher of Reason was now riddled with holes due to the Stigmata Project spearheaded by the Ice Queen, directly rendering Bronya unable to continue using the Herrscher of Reason's powers.

Rather than attributing the disruption to the Herrscher Core to the Stigmata Project, it's more accurate to say that the minds of the 300,000 people concentrated within the Herrscher Core experienced an irreconcilable split.

Chapter 261 All Humanity Awakens, Holy Mark

"Of course, I still have ways."

Prometheus 17 stated that as the Honkai consciousness that guided the birth of the Herrschers of this civilization, he does indeed have a way to help Bronya change the 'organization method' within the core of the Herrscher of Reason to a certain extent, allowing her to undergo a pseudo-ascension.

However, the simulated ascension can never compare to the true ascension; the two differ greatly in both the use of power and strength.

However, this is indeed a way to help Bronya get out of her current predicament and gain new power from it. Of course, there is a price to pay for doing so.

“I cannot guarantee that the 300,000 thoughts within the core of the Herrscher of Reason will not be harmed in the process. Moreover, in order to reunite them, some parts may be lost, and those lost parts may completely dissipate and cease to exist. So, are you still willing to let me do this?”

“It’s alright, after all, Bronya had already made this decision in her heart before this!” Bronya said, placing her hand on her chest. “The core legacy of the Herrscher of Reason has been passed down to this day. Its true value lies in fighting for humanity, not in whether it exists or where it exists.”

"Since at the beginning of this story, the first Herrscher of the Void, Welt Joyce, sacrificed himself for humanity, then in Bronya's chapter, Bronya will absolutely not hesitate to act for the sake of a so-called part!"

“Alright then, Bronya, to the core of the Herrscher of Reason, the Stigmata Project is actually like a hacker from the outside,” Prometheus 17 said. “It hijacked 300,000 thoughts in the core, causing them to naturally lose their original ‘stories’ and become slaves to the Stigmata Project.”

"Since the Stigmata Project is a 'dream,' the simplest way for you to remedy it is to wake them up."

"How can we wake them up?"

"That's where I'll come in. I'll help you get deep inside, but you'll have to do the waking up yourself."

When Prometheus 17 helped Bronya rewrite the so-called underlying code of the core, Mei also asked Dr. Mei a key question.

"Dr. Mei, I remember you said you were a participant in the Ice Queen's Stigmata Project. Do you know what the Ice Queen's Stigmata Project is like?"

"Well... although I am indeed a participant in the Stigmata Project, the Ice Queen has always been wary of me. Through the part of the research I helped her complete, I still managed to guess some of the improvements she made to the Stigmata Project."

"The Ice Queen's Stigmata Project involves absorbing the entire human civilization through the transformation of imaginary space, and achieving the evolution of all humanity in its slumber, awakening Stigmata across the entire civilization, thus creating a new kind of humanity immune to Honkai."

Jackal: "What?! That's impossible!"
