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

Otto, who had found another hotel to stay in temporarily, stood on the rooftop and looked at Changkong City in the night, speaking slowly.

He thought he had it in the bag this time, but then Kevin and Dio became the unexpected variables.

During his re-analysis of intelligence, Otto discovered Dio, a peculiar vampire who had traveled from Europe to the Far East, clearly aiming for the Holy Grail War. However, he had not yet located Dio and was unwilling to let someone else reap the rewards.

"Master, don't we need to save Miss Theresa?"

Yae Sakura released her spirit form and looked at Otto, knowing how much Otto cared about Theresa.

"Kevin and I made an agreement that he would only remove the servants possessing Theresa, and would not harm Theresa. Let's play it by ear!"

"But what if Kevin doesn't keep his promise?"

"..."

"Gather, subjects of the Radiant Empire! Tonight, you will forge an everlasting and unparalleled legend with us!"

In response to the call of the sage king, her subjects also appeared!

Unlike the King's Army of Conquerors, the Reality Marble is a barrier that materializes the image in the caster's mind and erodes reality, and is said to be the magic closest to magic.

The Conqueror King's Inherent Marble is the desert region he crossed when he launched his conquests to the east, while the mental world of the Stargazer is naturally different.

"This is?"

Himeko was also taken aback by the drastically changed environment around her, because they had left the Sky Bridge and were replaced by a prosperous city, the capital of the Huang Empire.

"How about our glorious empire? Not bad, right?"

Seeing Himeko's expression, Guanxing also asked.

"I never imagined that you, the Star Gazer, were actually the emperor?"

"What? You actually didn't believe me before!"

"It's all because of how you look, Stargazer..."

Himeko looked at the stargazer more closely, and only before did he resemble an emperor.

"...Fine, I won't bother with you. Let's begin the battle!"

Shuo Ye Guan Xing also turned her gaze back to Kevin below the city wall, the strongest opponent she had ever encountered.

"Appear! My subjects!"

As Shuo Ye Guan Xing shouted, tens of thousands of elite troops appeared in the city. Shuo Ye Guan Xing, who was on the city wall, changed into a beautifully handmade dragon robe. At this moment, Guan Xing, wearing an elaborate and gorgeous crown, stood in the middle of the city wall, looking down.

It could be said that it was as majestic as one could imagine, which made Theresa in the space extremely envious. She wished she could have half of the majesty of the Stargazer.

"General Durandal has come to lend her assistance. Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Prime Minister Rita has come to lend her support. Greetings, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, two familiar figures appeared on either side of the stargazer: Durandal and Rita.

The two are none other than Durandal, the sixteen-year-old general renowned for her strength in the Stargazing World, and the empire's most powerful weapon.

Rita, the empress dowager who strategizes and wins battles from afar, is the behind-the-scenes boss of the empire.

Of course, there's another familiar face in that world: the foolish second prince of the empire. Because of the presence of the first two, Kiana has nothing to worry about and spends her days eating and drinking. However, to avoid embarrassment, Stargazer didn't summon her.

"Lady Durandal and I are actually ministers of the Star Gazer in a parallel world, this, this... this is truly amazing!"

Rita is a lolicon, and even more so a lolicon to Theresa. She also likes Durandal. And the fact that she and Theresa's parallel world counterpart, Shuo Ye Guan Xing, work together with Durandal is double the happiness!

And she's actually the prime minister. It seems my parallel world self is quite powerful.

"I'm actually a stargazing general in a parallel world? I really want to fight against my counterpart from that other world!"

After all, training was more important to Durandal, so when she saw this, her first thought was to fight herself. Nothing trained her better than fighting herself!

Chapter 146 Lord Jiuxiao's Divine Revelation

Meanwhile, on Otto's side...

"Have three Servants already left the stage?"

As one of the creators of the Holy Grail, Otto naturally had his own methods to find out which Servants had left the game.

"Master, Theresa and Himeko have safely returned to the Clock Tower. What should we do now?"

"Don't rush. I've already made a plan with Kevin. Ryoma Tohsaka's Servant, Solomon, will be dealt with by him. What you need to do is wait until Siegfried's Servant is lured out tonight, then kidnap Cecilia and hand her over to Kotomine Yang, so that Siegfried can deal with Kotomine Yang."

"But wouldn't that be a bad thing?"

Yae Sakura asked hesitantly, after all, kidnapping someone under the guise of something like that...

"You don't still believe there are rules in this Holy Grail War, do you?"

Otto didn't care about Yae Sakura's opinion. After all, he had already reached his limit by not sending this fox Yae Sakura back to the Throne of Heroes. If Yae Sakura didn't obey his orders, then he wouldn't be polite.

"……All right!"

Yae Sakura looked troubled, then vanished from the room in her spirit form.

"As expected, Otto is involved in everything, no matter what bad things happen!"

Upon seeing Otto in the video attempting to kidnap Cecilia and frame Yang Yanfeng, Siegfried angrily exclaimed.

"As expected, only a dead Otto is a good Otto!"

The people in the space nodded in agreement, after all, Anti-Entropy had no goodwill towards Otto whatsoever.

Upon arriving at the dense Einzbern Forest at night, Qianjie transformed into a gust of wind and sped away.

"Tch, that Kevin guy!"

Qianjie wanted nothing more than to kill Cocolia, but because of Bronya, he chose to avoid seeing her.

Qianjie had met Kevin during the deal between Cocolia and Gray Serpent, so he knew the purpose of his visit: to kill King Arthur. Having lost to Kevin once again, he agreed to Kevin's terms.

"Whoosh-"

The trees on both sides were rushing past.

When Qianjie's figure appeared in Siegfried's field of vision, he immediately gave Rowling the order to "fight with all his might," while he himself remained in the castle.

Outside the Einzbern Forest.

Upon seeing Qianjie enter the forest, all parties who had been waiting for a long time immediately took action.

Following the route taken by Senju, Ryoma Tohsaka secretly followed with his simple familiar, while Otto sent Yae Sakura to find an opportunity to steal someone away, and Kevin went to the Tohsaka family after receiving the news.

Jiuxiao arrived at the city center, an area perfectly suited to encompass the entire Changkong City within her perception range. As the Ruler, Jiuxiao naturally had to oversee this Holy Grail War.

“The auras of the first, second, third... sixth, and seventh Servants.”

"Moreover, the auras of two of the Servants are clearly those of invaders who have invaded my territory. But wouldn't that mean there's one more person here?"

As he spoke these words, a look of confusion appeared on Jiu Xiao's face.

After all, three Servants have already left the stage, and there are two Invaders, so how come there are still five?

After a moment of silence, Jiu Xiao seemed unable to make a decision, so he knelt down on one knee, put his hands together, and adopted the most devout prayer posture.

"Lord, please give me revelation!"

Then, in front of everyone in the space, a golden holy light suddenly appeared in the sky and shone down on Jiuxiao.

Kiana and the others were also taken aback by what they saw.

"Jiuxiao was actually chosen by the gods in a parallel world?!"

Kiana looked as if she had never seen the insects in a hundred years. Although Jiuxiao usually said that he was the savior chosen by the gods, they generally thought that was just Jiuxiao's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome). If it weren't for the appearance of Tianqi Jiuxiao in the previous video, they would have believed it to some extent, but they still remained skeptical.

And the fact that Jiuxiao in this parallel world was actually chosen by the gods is like discovering in real life that your friend's chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) is actually real—no wonder you're surprised.

"Of course, Lord Jiuxiao is the savior chosen by the gods, he's incredibly powerful. Lord Jiuxiao tells you, I..."

Upon seeing Jiu Xiao's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) remarks, the others subconsciously chose to ignore them. Even if they now suspected that Jiu Xiao's chuunibyou might be true, they still couldn't believe it after hearing it so many times.

In the video, the divine revelation process was very short, lasting only a few seconds. After the divine light disappeared, Jiuxiao immediately stood up from the ground and turned his gaze towards the direction of another building.

"I see? One of the intruders left early? As expected, Lord Jiuxiao is the most powerful!"

Having uttered these words and received divine guidance, Jiuxiao once again began to fulfill his responsibilities.

Kevin, on his way to the Tohsaka family, also encountered his greatest rival.

"This road doesn't work!"

Solomon, who had already detected Kevin's arrival, intercepted him on his way to the Tohsaka family.

"I came here specifically to find you!"

Kevin also took out the Heavenly Fire Judgment without hesitation, transforming it into the Annihilation Mode. The sword was jet black with a bright, gilded blade, and the surrounding area seemed to be perpetually burning with crimson flames, causing the temperature around it to rise continuously.

"...Really? Then I'm sorry, I can't leave yet!"

The surrounding environment began to change, and they once again arrived at Solomon's second treasure, the time to crown, to inspire all things (Ars Paulina).

"Is that so?" Even in this temple, Kevin's eyes remained resolute. "Today! You must leave!"

The surrounding temperature rose sharply, and flames shot into the sky!

With Kevin's wave of his hand, the flames within the core of the Heavenly Fire Judgment swept outwards, forming a massive vortex of heat that instantly filled the entire temple.

Golden halos even rose behind Kevin, revealing a vast, overwhelming treasure—the Gate of Babylon was now open to the fullest extent.

The golden light was like a small sun, illuminating the temple!

At the same time Kevin made his move, layers upon layers of magic arrays appeared above Solomon's temple, completely enveloping the temple. His body radiated a massive amount of blue Honkai energy, clearly indicating that Solomon was serious.

The next moment, the entire scene showed the two fighting, with flashes of light appearing from their battle. This was because the temple was Solomon's remains, making it more robust than other inherent barriers; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to withstand the combined efforts of the two of them.

While the battles were raging in several places, Kotomine Yang returned to the Tohsaka residence.

Standing in front of the Tohsaka residence, Kotomine Yang was also somewhat emotional. He had studied magic here for three years as Tohsaka Ryoma's disciple, and returning here now felt particularly warm and familiar.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Yang.”
