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

"Not at all, not at all, this is what I, the dean, should do."

The video is still playing.

"You've worked hard too, Ryoma." Walter Young seemed to have a deep friendship with this man named Ryoma. Seeing that the man appeared at the hangar entrance to wait for everyone, Walter Young said, "You can stay here. I'll go in alone with the others."

Thunder Dragon Horse didn't find anything wrong with Walter Yang's statement, and without saying a word, he stepped aside to make way for him.

"Alright, we've arrived!"

As soon as Walter finished speaking, the voice-activated lights in the Anti-Entropy underground base turned on.

Suddenly, countless lights came on, illuminating the hangar as if it were daytime.

Siegfried was nearly blinded by the sudden illumination. After his eyes adjusted slightly, he looked up and stared in disbelief at the enormous creature before him, as if he had seen something unreal.

"What?! How is this possible?!"

"This, this is Alahato?! You want us to drive an Alahato to the moon?!"

Siegfried stared wide-eyed at the enormous robot in front of him, never expecting to see Gundam from his childhood cartoons here.

"That's right, we're going to use this to go to the moon."

Seeing Siegfried's surprised expression, Walter Young's tone also carried a hint of pride.

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Time for Moon Landing Has Arrived; Let Us Soar Towards the Heavens

"But...but isn't Alahato a robot from an animated film?"

Siegfried was very excited to see Allahato, after all, it was his favorite thing from his childhood.

"Those animations were developed to raise funds for Alahatto."

But Walter never expected that Siegfried, who was standing in front of him, was a loyal fan of Alahatto.

"So... you guys wrote those scripts too? I suddenly wonder if I could ask for your signatures? I'm a huge fan of this anime!"

"By the way, my favorite line is from the 87 version, the one in the last episode: 'Tyrant of the heavens! Witness the shattering of stars!'"

"That was absolutely awesome!"

But this time, Walter Young fell silent when faced with Siegfried's words, as if those words had stirred up some memories, or as if he had seen something in Siegfried.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Let me tell you my plan."

Walter Young stopped Siegfried, who was getting increasingly agitated, and began to explain the plan.

Even after learning about the future, Welt Yang was still not confident in defeating Sirin. However, he had prepared for the worst. Rather than letting the Second Herrscher obtain the Core of Reason to increase her power, he would rather detonate the core at that time, which would reduce the Second Herrscher's power by some extent.

There was no plan. After arriving on the moon, Welt would go to the Second Herrscher and be responsible for attracting her attention.

Siegfried seized the time to collect Soul Steel samples, and once the collection was complete, he quickly left the moon.

The operational meeting lasted only a few minutes. The two men already knew everything before they arrived, and the discussion was merely a summary.

With several hours remaining before launch, Welt Young and Siegfried made some preparations for their departure. Welt Young invited Tesla to dance, while Siegfried bid farewell to Kiana and Cecilia via a holographic projection screen.

"Kiana, is that you when you were little? You were so cute when you were little!" Mei said to Kiana next to her when she saw a little Kiana in the video wearing a white dress and looking as cute as a doll, with two white braids.

"This...this must be from when I was a child, right? My dad told me that I injured my head when I was six years old, so I lost my memory. I haven't forgotten any of this."

Kiana stared blankly for a moment as she looked at the heartwarming family scene of the three people in the picture. For some reason, she felt a faint envy and a touch of jealousy, as if she were jealous that the girl in the picture wasn't her.

Kiana felt strange. Why was she thinking like that? The person above was clearly her, so why was she feeling jealous?

In another space, another person also resonated with this video.

"Strange, why does this scene feel so familiar to me?"

When Yulandel saw the video above, she felt for some reason that she had experienced this scene before, but she couldn't remember it. Before she knew it, tears were streaming down her face.

"Lady Durandal, are you alright? Why are you crying?"

Rita saw that Durandal was crying and understood what was going on, but she dared not reveal the truth. If Otto knew that she was the one who told Durandal about his origins, she would probably be in big trouble.

"It's nothing, Rita. It's just that for some reason, the images on those screens make me want to cry," Durandal said after wiping away her tears.

The video continued to play as the two were moved by it.

After several hours of work and effort, Allahato was in position on the rocket, and Walter Young and Siegfried began their journey to the moon.

The scene then shifted to Fu Hua and the others.

"Squad leader, are we just going to watch Leader Welt go and die like this?" Kiana asked Fu Hua after watching Arahat ride the rocket into the sky.

“There’s no way around it. The Herrscher of the Void issued a warning that Seele and I are not allowed to go up there, and Lord Welt can’t just stand by and watch others die because of him. So even though he knows that going there might be a one-way trip, he still has to go.” Fu Hua sighed. How could she really watch a Herrscher who fought for humanity go to her death like this? But there was nothing she could do.

"Damn it, are we just supposed to watch like this? Nothing's changed!" Kiana said angrily.

The rest of the Future Squad fell silent after hearing Kiana's words. After all, it seemed that nothing had really changed since they arrived, and the Second Honkai Impact still occurred.

"There's nothing we can do." Even the usually composed Mei could only utter a self-deprecating laugh at this moment.

"No, our coming here is not meaningless." At this moment, Jiuxiao stepped forward to encourage everyone. "We are a savior team from the future. We came to this time and space to save our believers. No matter how many we save, the important thing is not the result, but the process!"

"Jiuxiao is right. We tried our best. The process is important, not the result." Kiana regained her energy because of Jiuxiao's words. If she gave up on herself, how could she talk about saving others?

“That’s right, that’s exactly how a savior should look, Kiana.” Jiuxiao looked around. “By the way, Bronya, have you seen Seele, my new follower who joined my Penglai Temple Cult?”

"What the hell is the Penglai Temple Cult? Did you create it yourself? When did Seele from another world become your follower?!" Bronya exclaimed helplessly.

"She was right next to me... gone!" Bronya panicked as Seele from another world, who had just been standing next to her watching the rocket launch, vanished.

"Bronya, don't worry. Maybe Seele just went off to play somewhere and will be back soon!"

"You idiot Kiana, do you think the Seele from the other world is you? I asked the Seele from the other world before, and she's a well-rounded genius who's received top-notch training, not a paramecium like you who can't even pass an exam!" Bronya was grateful to Kiana for comforting her, but for some reason, the words that came out of her mouth turned into words of anger towards Kiana. Perhaps this was just how the two of them, who were like enemies, got along.

Sure enough, Kiana was furious upon hearing this, and so the war between Paramecium and Bronya began again.

However, just as the two were bickering again, a problem arose with Jiu Xiao.

A bright yellow circle appeared beneath Jiuxiao's feet, and Jiuxiao fell straight down.

"Help..." Jiuxiao didn't have time to react before he fell down and disappeared without a trace along with the yellow halo.

"How is this possible!?" Fu Hua was the first to react, but because she hadn't expected someone to be able to steal someone away while she was still aware of it, she was a step too slow and failed to catch Jiu Xiao before she fell into the yellow light circle.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Pink Fairy Makes Her Appearance

"Class monitor, where did Jiuxiao go?!" Kiana rushed over, only to see Jiuxiao disappear from the yellow halo that appeared on the ground.

"I don't know. That yellow halo appeared suddenly, similar to the Herrscher of the Void's teleportation portal, but different from the Herrscher of the Void's spatial powers." Fu Hua frowned. Jiu Xiao's sudden disappearance was unexpected. After all, even she only sensed it after the halo appeared, but by then it was too late.

"What about Jiuxiao? Jiuxiao has been kidnapped. We have to find a way to rescue her!" Mei said hurriedly. After all, Jiuxiao was their companion, and they couldn't abandon her!

"Then we need to look for some clues here to see if we can find any clues about how Jiuxiao disappeared. If we still can't find any... then we'll go find Einstein and the others. After all, this is Anti-Entropy's territory, and they have more manpower, so they can find a way to find Jiuxiao more quickly."

Fu Hua thought for a moment. They knew nothing about the enemy's purpose in capturing Jiu Xiao, or how they planned to do so. At this point, their only option was to seek help from Dr. Einstein and his team.

"Auntie, do you know what that yellow halo that kidnapped Jiuxiao is?" Kiana asked Theresa. It has to be said that the system is really powerful. The video on it gives viewers a high sense of immersion. Although Kiana has not yet met her companion Jiuxiao, she already has a high initial liking for her.

Seeing Jiu Xiao arrested in the video, she couldn't help but feel worried.

“My dear niece, your aunt doesn’t know everything. That’s clearly spatial technology. Even Schicksal would have a hard time doing that now. Teleporting someone out of thin air is a very high level of technology. Don’t make things difficult for your aunt.” Theresa said with a headache. The things that the second Honkai attack was releasing were beyond her intellectual capacity. She just felt very dizzy.

However, there was one thing she didn't say: she felt that it wasn't done by science, but by magic. Of course, she didn't say it either, since magic was such a ridiculous thing that even she didn't believe in it herself.

"Kiana, look, the image of Jiuxiao has appeared," Mei said to Kiana, pointing to the video.

In the video, the Future Team couldn't find any clues about how Jiuxiao disappeared, so they had no choice but to dejectedly seek help from Einstein and the others.

At this point, the video switched to another screen.

"Where am I?" When Jiu Xiao woke up, he found himself in a grand hall. The hall looked ancient and mysterious, somewhat like those halls from the Middle Ages.

Jiuxiao only remembered that he was watching Kiana and Bronya's daily arguments and just watching the drama unfold when, for some reason, a yellow circle appeared under his feet and he fell down. He didn't know why he passed out, and when he woke up, he found himself in this place.

"Hello, lovely girl, you're awake~?" At that moment, a fan-like girl with flowing hair and wearing an exquisite red magic robe came out.

However, after the pink-haired girl came out, what first caught Jiu Xiao's attention was not her, but the metal necklace she was wearing.

The necklace was covered with many exquisite runes, making it clear that it was a very valuable item. In addition, there was a green gemstone in the necklace, and for some reason, Jiu Xiao couldn't take his eyes off it after seeing it.

"Hey, don't keep staring at other girls' private parts, or they'll dislike you!"

"Yes, I'm sorry! Even saviors make mistakes. I just thought your necklace was special, I didn't mean anything by it," Jiuxiao said somewhat awkwardly.

"You're a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer? Don't you like it? Come with me!"

After speaking, the pink-haired girl gestured to Jiu Xiao, smiled at her, and then led her to a table in the main hall, inviting her to sit down.

"Please sit down. Would you like some tea?" The pink-haired girl's voice came as she took out a teapot and teacups, poured a cup herself, and handed it to Jiuxiao.

Jiuxiao looked at the teacup the pink-haired girl handed him and said, "Thank you. Hello, I wandered into this place by mistake. May I ask where this is?"

Jiuxiao took her seat. For some reason, she felt a certain fondness for the pink-haired girl the first time she saw her.

“I can tell you that. This is Kamar-Taj, and I am the Sorcerer Supreme here—Alicia. As for why you are here, it was because I sent you,” the pink-haired girl, Alicia, said with a smile.

"!! Alicia!?"

Upon seeing Alicia in the video, Kevin, whose heart had remained undisturbed for 1,500 years since being imprisoned in the Sea of ​​Quanta, felt a jolt in his heart.

A deep sense of guilt and self-reproach flashed in Kevin's eyes, but he wasn't the type to dwell on the past, so he quickly suppressed these feelings.

"However... Alicia from the parallel world wasn't killed by me, and she even became a mage." Kevin was also curious about Alicia in the video. After all, this parallel world actually had magic. He wanted to study it carefully. He was willing to try anything that could fight against the Honkai.

"What! It was you who put my savior here." Jiuxiao's eyes suddenly filled with vigilance. "Could you be a despicable abyss mage sent by the demon king to try and eliminate me, the savior, ahead of time?"

"Hehe! You really are a cute girl, how interesting!" Alicia was also amused by Jiuxiao's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome). Although she had read about her experiences, the feeling of reading and experiencing them firsthand was indeed different.

"Alright, I wouldn't hurt a cute girl. I brought you here because I have something to tell you, and it's related to your recent correction of the spacetime singularity." Alicia then got to the point.

"So that's how it is. You're the guide who comes to lead this savior like in the novel? Then I really am the protagonist!" Jiuxiao seemed to have realized something and became excited.

"...You could say that. Actually, I'm here to tell you that this crisis is far more serious than you think. If we can't stop this crisis, the human civilization at this spacetime special guide point will probably be destroyed." At this moment, Alicia also became serious.

"What? It's that serious? Tell this savior how to solve it!" Jiu Xiao was a person with a strong sense of justice. If a crisis that threatened to destroy humanity really occurred, she would definitely not stand idly by.

"That depends on you, little savior."
