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

This one sentence caused several large beads of sweat to trickle down the foreheads of those on the anti-entropy side.

"Is Honkai the deterrent to civilization...? Then what are we doing now?"

It's important to understand that Anti-Entropy has always advocated using technology to combat the Honkai, but the stronger the civilization, the stronger the Honkai becomes. Doesn't that mean that their continuous efforts to enhance technology were wrong? It's as if their philosophy has been completely overturned.

"...Is that so? Have our claims been wrong all along?"

Welt Yang was also shocked by the truth of the Honkai, but he lost his composure after learning the truth and instead started thinking about strategies to deal with the Honkai in the future.

It seems we can't go down the technology route anymore! The reason Anti-Entropy went down the technology route was to prevent Valkyries from sacrificing themselves in the war against the Honkai, advocating for replacing Valkyries with mechs. But this path has been completely blocked.

However, they can't just abandon the technology-driven approach. After all, Anti-Entropy has been following the technology-driven approach for so many years. If they suddenly switch to this approach, Anti-Entropy might be rendered useless.

After all, it's like your company was doing well in inventing machines, but then suddenly switched to biotechnology. It's no wonder they can't succeed.

Moreover, destiny is watching from the sidelines, after all, falling behind means being vulnerable to attack, which makes things even more difficult.

Chapter Twenty-One: The Herrscher of the Pig Returns Online

The video is still playing.

"The power of God..." Sirin murmured to herself.

"God, I understand your meaning. Please give me those powers."

"I will destroy those filthy humans for you, those filthy humans who have taken everything from me!"

After thinking for a long time, as if she had understood something, Xilin said with hatred in her eyes.

The figure stood up from his seat, walked to Sirin, gently touched Sirin's forehead, and then withdrew his hand.

After the figure withdrew his hand, Xilin opened her eyes, which shimmered with golden light.

"God has given me a crown and drawn lightning as my bow and arrow to shatter all things!"

"God has given me the power to control endless storms and to be a thousand miles away from a mere foot!"

"God gave me a brocade robe, and offered me the wine of death, which brought me sweet dreams!"

"God has given me a sword, with immortal flames enveloping me, and a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

The Honkai consciousness bestowed the power from the moon upon Sirin, granting her the Thunder Gem, representing "conquest"; the Wind Gem, representing "desire"; the Death Gem, representing "tranquility"; and the Flame Gem, representing "disease".

Sirin merged the powers of the four Herrschers, making her a five-core Herrscher.

Sirin, now a five-core Herrscher, revealed a very excited smile; clearly, the pufferfish had swelled up again.

After Sirin completed her ascension, she was terrified of being beaten up by several monsters on Earth, so she began her learning journey, reading the vast amount of knowledge recorded on the stone pillars in the giant building, wanting to understand how to manipulate the Herrscher's abilities more precisely.

Unfortunately, as a paramecium in her previous life, Sirin naturally disliked studying. After studying for a while, Sirin thought she could handle those people and gave up the opportunity to study.

Then, Sirin used the power of the Tranquil Gem to awaken her companion beast, Bellenas.

At the same time, she bestowed upon her companion beast intelligence and some of the Herrscher of Thunder's ability to manipulate electromagnetic fields.

This caused Bellenas to evolve, becoming a Honkai Beast that could directly transform into human form.

At this time, Celine naturally gave Bellenas a new name, which is the Bella we are familiar with.

After doing all this, Sirin looked at the Earth in front of her and revealed an extremely cruel smile. Sirin directly manipulated hundreds of huge rock fragments to float into the air and began to attack the Earth.

"Prepare to ring the bells of doomsday!!!"

The powerful Honkai energy reaction on the moon had long attracted the attention of the Destiny Organization and the Anti-Entropy Organization. Both organizations had deployed many space probes in Earth's outer orbit and on the moon, so they were naturally able to detect the strong Honkai energy fluctuations when Sirin became a five-core Herrscher.

Shortly after this intense Honkai energy, they discovered hundreds of meteorites of various sizes suddenly appearing from the far side of the moon toward Earth. It was so obvious that any organization that wasn't blind would have noticed them.

However, noticing it is one thing, and being able to block it is another. Given the level of technology at the time, it was naturally impossible to block it.

The scene shifts again to the command center of the Tower of Babel, where both Destiny and Anti-Entropy are tallying the death toll caused by the meteorite. Heavy casualties have also occurred in many cities, but this is only the beginning.

Sirin felt extremely ashamed after losing three battles and becoming stronger. However, she was still somewhat afraid of Seele and Fu Hua, so out of caution, she decided to take down the weakling Welt Yang first and obtain his Herrscher Core before fighting Seele and Fu Hua.

So she had Bella send a series of electromagnetic signals to Earth, demanding that Walter Yang come to the moon to see her, and forbidding Seele and Fu Hua from coming. Otherwise, she would send four meteorites to Earth every 72 hours until he arrived!

"What?! Has Sirin gone mad?! She actually killed so many people!"

"They're launching meteorites at Earth every 72 hours! At that rate, humanity won't be wiped out in a very short time, will it?!"

In the space, Raiden Mei almost looked like she had witnessed the end of the world. After all, Raiden Mei had not yet become the Herrscher of Thunder and was still just a high school student. Naturally, she would be afraid when she saw Sirin kill so many people with meteorites.

“Mei-neechan, based on what I know and what I’ve seen in the videos, Sirin is filled with hatred for humans and has completely become a Herrscher,” Bronya said, speaking from her own understanding. “...So it’s not surprising that she would do something like this, since humans are her enemies to begin with, so naturally she wouldn’t care.”

"Hatred?"

Mei's eyes dimmed as she thought about her current situation. After her father went to prison, she went from being a pampered young lady to the daughter of a corrupt official whom everyone hated. Her former friends all turned away from her, and her life was suddenly filled with malice.

Thinking of this, a hint of blood red flashed in Raiden Mei's originally pale purple eyes, and even seemed to expand slightly.

"Mei, what's wrong?"

At that moment, Mei woke up instantly upon hearing Kiana's voice, and the red color disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened.

"No, I'm fine, Kiana, thank you for your concern!"

Mei felt a warmth in her heart when she saw Kiana's concern, and the dark side in her heart was suppressed once again.

Only Bronya, who had just spoken to Raiden Mei, knew about Raiden Mei's condition, but Bronya was unsure whether she should speak up.

What happened in the space was just a small episode; the video continued, and the scene switched again.

"What's wrong, Tesla?"

In the scene, Walter, who was lying in a hospital bed receiving treatment, asked Tesla, who had suddenly fallen silent beside him, a question.

"Ten minutes ago, the probes we were observing detected a strange set of electromagnetic signals coming from the moon."

"After analysis, we discovered that the message came from the Second Herrscher. The message said..."

"Come to the moon to see me, First Herrscher. If you don't come, I will send four meteorites to Earth every 72 hours. Don't keep me waiting too long, or I won't have much patience. Also, tell Seele and Fu Hua not to come up here. That's all the information I have."

Three days passed quickly, and after recovering, Walter Young began preparations for his trip to the moon. After saying goodbye to Tesla and Einstein, he embarked on what might be the last battle of his life.

However, at that moment, a customer also came to the door.

"The leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance!"

"The whole world is living in fear right now, are we just going to sit here and wait to die?!"

After contacting Otto at Schicksal headquarters, Siegfried wanted to request support to launch a decisive battle against the Herrscher of the Void on the moon before Sirin could send out another meteorite. However, he found that Otto was completely ignoring him.

Siegfried was helpless in this situation, since Schicksal belonged to Otto, and there was nothing he could do if Otto refused to support him. So, Siegfried went to find Welt Young, the leader of Anti-Entropy.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Preliminary Stages of Lunar Exploration

"Of course not!" Walter Young responded to Siegfried's impolite behavior, "I was just thinking about the battle plan."

After all, Welt Yang knew that the Second Herrscher had obtained four Herrscher Gems from the moon and become a five-core Herrscher. This was the thing he was most worried about and least wanted to see. The Second Herrscher had transformed from an ignorant new Herrscher into a powerful Herrscher with the powers of five Herrschers.

Now the Second Herrscher is telling him to go to the moon and forbidding Fu Hua and Seele from going. It's so obvious that Welt Yang isn't stupid. This Second Herrscher clearly wants to lure him up there, kill him, and steal his Herrscher Core.

With the information brought by Fu Hua and others from the future, he knew that his fate on the moon would be defeat, with Sirin stealing his Herrscher core and giving him experience points.

But in order to prevent Sirin from continuing to drop meteorites, he had to go; he couldn't let down the name 'Walter'.

Several hours later, a massive transport plane descended from the sky and arrived at one of Anti-Entropy's bases. After slowly taxiing onto the runway, everyone disembarked.

"You really wouldn't let us help you. You know, facing the Herrscher of the Void alone would probably be..."

Fu Hua asked Welt Yang, and although she hadn't finished speaking, everyone knew what she meant: with Welt Yang's current strength, if he encountered Sirin alone, he would probably never return.

“You can’t go. After all, the Herrscher of the Void has already warned me. I can’t let more people die because of me, and I also want to try to see if the outcome can really be changed!” Welt Yang shook his head and refused Fu Hua’s offer.

"This time, just let Siegfried come with me!"

Siegfried didn't speak. He looked completely different from when he was in the Babylonian laboratory. His face was so gloomy that it was almost as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Siegfried's mission this time is equally important. He is not going with Welt Yang to fight the Herrscher of the Void, but to obtain the technology to seal Honkai energy. In other words, Siegfried is going to take a test, only this time the test is a little more dangerous.

In previous meetings, they discussed the scientific technology to seal or destroy Honkai energy, which was found in the fragments of meteorites that the Herrscher of the Void had thrown at Earth. Therefore, in order to fight against Honkai, humanity needs to collect samples and obtain the Soul Steel relics on the moon to help collect samples.

The person Welt Yang chose was Siegfried. Otto Apocalypse also attended this meeting. After all, people from the parallel world and another Crimson Lotus Immortal were here, so he had no reason not to attend this meeting to confront the Herrscher of the Void.

At the meeting, Otto also agreed to assist Walter Yang's plan, while guaranteeing that he would not hinder any actions against the Second Herrscher.

However, he didn't see either Seele or Fu Hua. Both sides hid when they heard that Otto had arrived, which made Otto very disappointed.

Siegfried was a man Walter Young borrowed from Otto.

Walter Young looked at the huge hangar in front of him, then at Siegfried waiting beside him, and stopped to say, "We've arrived."

"Lord Alliance Leader, you've worked hard."

At that moment, a mature male voice rang out, and a tall, imposing man with short, light purple hair and purple eyes saluted Walter Yang.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

Raiden Mei stared in surprise at her father appearing in the video. Although her father in the video looked younger than the one she knew, Raiden Mei still recognized him as her father, Raiden Ryoma.

"Mei, is this man your father?"

Kiana carefully examined the person in front of her and compared him to Mei. After confirming that he was her biological father, she realized that he would be her father-in-law in the future.

“That’s right, this is my father, Raiden Ryoma, but he’s in jail for financial fraud now.” Raiden Mei’s eyes dimmed a little as she said this.

"Don't worry, Mei, we'll definitely save Ryoma Gaku... Uncle!" Kiana quickly changed her words, thankfully not revealing her true thoughts.

"Thank you, Kiana!"

"Raiden Mei, your father is Raiden Ryoma, right?" Himeko asked Mei. After all, she usually did Theresa's work, so she naturally knew about Raiden Ryoma, the executive officer of Anti-Entropy.

Yes, why?

"That's strange. I remember that Raiden Ryoma is the president of ME headquarters, and ME headquarters seems to be an enterprise of Anti-Entropy. Raiden Ryoma is also the executive officer of Anti-Entropy. How could he be imprisoned for financial fraud?"

"Then my father is innocent! Princess Himeko... Princess Himeko, is there any way to save my father?"

Since Himeko hadn't become Raiden Mei's teacher yet, Raiden Mei couldn't very well call her "teacher." After seeing Himeko's 'kind' eyes, she changed it to "Miss."

"Don't worry about it, Mei! You'll be a member of St. Freya Academy from now on, so just leave it to me, the headmaster!"

Theresa answered first, since Raiden Mei had joined St. Freya Academy in the future, so it wasn't exactly helping an outsider.

"Thank you, Dean!"
